Chapter 507 The Eve of the Meeting

The weather is getting colder and colder, and this year's winter is beginning to exert unimaginable power.

The departure of an entire kingdom took away not only land, but also a large amount of "energy".

This unusual winter not only froze most of the rivers on land, but even the sea was frozen.

A large amount of sea surface was also frozen near the newly built island named Silver Coin Island by Amber.

Although the weather was bad, it did not stop Amber's business from being booming.

Especially this year everyone is short of food, and Amber has just extorted a large sum of money from the druids.

In order to successfully release those overseas animals and plants back into their original environment, the druids not only have to buy these animals and plants, but also have to buy the locations where they were collected from Ambershu.

I've given you the map. Would you like to take the airship that's on the way? Do you want to pay for the fare?

After a while, the druids could no longer afford the gold coins and had to pay off their debts with food.

The whole world may face food shortages, but druids will not. Their natural spells can instantly create dense forests, so they will never have to worry about food shortages.

So the druid owed Amberxiu a large amount of food and had to work for Amberxiu in this freezing cold weather to pay off his debt.

Therefore, all those who were short of food came here. Even though the sea was frozen and the journey was long, everyone still had to come to Silver Coin Island to get the food that they needed most this winter.

The teleportation array can be used to send gifts to others, but large-scale grain transactions cannot be carried out through the teleportation array. Not every country is as wealthy as Ryan and can directly use the teleportation array to transport military rations.

Then, Ambershu's drow air transport route began to advertise wildly, even causing the Alchemy Association to start changing its production line and get a few airships to take advantage of this business.

Amber Xiu accepted everyone who came and even taught them step by step how to transform the warehouse to isolate the influence of dark magic.

However, the Alchemy Association's airship business is still not as good as the Drow Elf Route, after all, the Drow Elf Route has additional services. Even though Catherine strictly forbids the Drow Elves to mess around on the ship, when unloading, these black-skinned elves don't mind providing additional services to earn a little extra money.

This is the only one in the world, and the Alchemy Association cannot compete with it even if they want to.

When the transportation industry began to gain momentum, Amberxiu was not idle either. He chiseled through the ice to create custom-made magic structures and embedded them into the foundation of the island.

This large-scale project could not be concealed from anyone. People from all kingdoms sent people to ask what the function of this magic circle was, and Ambershu gave a unified answer - it was to prepare for Talos' wedding.

Once this name is put down, others will not be able to ask further questions.

After all, it is the wedding of gods, and mortals have no right to comment.

Moreover, most people don’t think that Amber is doing anything dangerous.

The story of Amber Xiu had long been spread, and this lich only cared about money. He would not set up a trap to pull all the kings over and then kill them with a large-scale magic. This would only make his business completely bankrupt, and then he would be hunted down by all the countries in this life.

According to normal logic, this magic circle probably has little to do with them, mortals.

Just like that, Amberxiu expanded the Silver Coin Island several times in full view of everyone. Even a "Muggle" who had no sense of magic could sense that something was wrong after entering the Silver Coin Island.

Because the magic power here has reached a level that is strong enough to see strange visions with the naked eye, if someone casts magic here, the effect will be enhanced several times.

However, this situation only lasted for a few days.

After Amberxiu installed the last piece of the magic structure weighing tons, the entire island returned to peace, and even the traces of the magic circles disappeared.

At this time, there were only three days left before the meeting officially started.

The venue for the wedding on Silver Coin Island had been built, and accommodations for guests from various kingdoms had been arranged. This time, Amber was extravagant and spent a lot of money to invite the elves to be responsible for the reception of the entire venue.

Those beautiful and elegant elves are all proficient in both magic and martial arts. Besides being pleasing to the eyes, they are also capable of performing security work.

In today's closed-off Silvermoon High Court, only Amberthus has the connections to get so many elves to serve as maids.

The Ryan people were the closest, but they arrived the latest.

There were not many people who came with Emperor Ryan. If you don’t count the servants, there were only eight in total, but they were very valuable because all eight of them were legends.

A Paladin and a Priest of Light are Ryan's standard equipment, and there is also a legendary magician, who is a rare legendary powerhouse for Ryan.

A paladin like Anger Watson, who was not even a legend, was not qualified to come along, and was still kept at the border by the emperor to prevent the orcs from taking the opportunity to attack.

Even when surrounded by enemies on three sides, Ryan was still able to mobilize so many legends, worthy of being the strongest empire on the continent.

For example, on the orc side, there were only two legends who appeared with the orc king, and they were no match for Ryan.

The young emperor was wrapped in a thick robe and surrounded by a group of tall holy warriors. He looked quite thin.

In the eyes of others, Emperor Ryan is just a symbol, representing the afterglow of the great achievements of the Holy King in the past. Others respect him because of his bloodline, not because of his own abilities.

The young emperor also wanted others to see him this way, so even though he represented the strongest empire on the continent, he always kept a low profile.

After entering the Silver Coin Island, he and his entourage hid in a small single-family villa prepared for the Ryan people. He was completely unlike the Dwarf King who visited everywhere and enthusiastically showed everyone his physical condition after "recovering from a long illness."

And because of Ryan's special relationship with other kingdoms, no one came to disturb this villa for the time being.

Emperor Ryan hid in his room reading a book, while the remaining holy warriors guarded outside.

In order to protect the emperor's safety, the holy warriors need to stand guard outside the door in groups of two, ready to deal with any trouble at any time.

It’s just that the relationship between the two people who were responsible for guarding in the first half of the night was a little awkward.

Standing by the window is the youngest legendary paladin of the empire, Alan Watson. No matter how mixed his reputation is, Alan is still the youngest legend in the history of the empire. Because of the battle with the Githyanki, Alan showed powerful air combat capabilities, so he got the name of "Angel Sword".

Of course, there are also many people who still believe that Allen is a traitor and is plotting to split Ryan, so many people secretly call him the "Sword of the Fallen Angel" and that he will sooner or later fall into a devil like Zariel.

As for the person standing next to Allen, it was the oldest living legendary paladin in the empire, the Shield of the Empire, William Garrison.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The relationship between the two is quite awkward.

William Garrison was a pillar of the empire after the death of the Silver Moon Knight. He also turned the tide in the battle against the Githyanki and brought back the emperor and the remnants of the defeated army.

The two of them fought side by side in this battle, but they had never met each other.

Later, William stood firmly on the emperor's side and helped him stabilize the situation, while Allen once openly opposed the emperor and almost led to the split of Ryan.

Facing this young man, William really didn't know what expression to make.

If it were any other young man, William would just put on a serious expression and these juniors would be trembling with fear waiting for his lecture. But Allen was different, this young man was filled with powerful holy light from the inside out.

The paladins practice teachings in exchange for the blessings of the Lord of the Dawn. Does the fact that Alan is so powerful mean that he is more in line with the teachings of the Lord of the Dawn?

Once this doubt arose, William could no longer take advantage of his seniority in front of Allen.

After all, for a paladin, faith is above all else.

The two of them had to stand like this for most of the night, and they couldn't just stay silent. Just when the old man was about to speak first to break the awkward atmosphere, Allen spoke first: "Lord Garrison, why do you think His Majesty asked me to accompany him? And why did he ask me to protect his safety?"

William was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Alan to take the initiative to ask such a sensitive question in advance.

Was he testing me? Or was he trying to get information from me with some ulterior motive? However, Allen's eyes were very clear. He was just simply wondering, asking questions without any conspiracy.

William believed in his own judgment, so he said earnestly: "Alan, people grow up, you and your majesty are both young people. You have changed a lot in the past year, and so has your majesty. Just because a young man makes mistakes doesn't mean he won't change. In recent times, every order of your majesty has been correct, even better than many emperors in history.

"I believe that His Majesty hopes that you can reintegrate into Ryan. You are an indispensable force in the empire and should not stand on the opposite side of the empire."

Allen couldn't help but ask, "What about the mistakes we made before? Can we just pretend they never happened? Lord Garrison, Ryan has killed tens of thousands of people over the years because of extreme ideas, and the damage caused to the outside world is immeasurable. We may choose to forget, but the orcs will rush towards us shouting blood debt and blood payment, and so will other races. Your Majesty has never mentioned how to solve this problem."

William frowned. He didn't expect Alan to speak on the side of the orcs.

William could only remind him, "Alan, you think too much. This is not something we generals need to consider. Not to mention, they are orcs, not Ryan people."

Alan looked at the white-haired senior and sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, it was difficult for the older generation to understand their own position.

When the Lord of Dawn spread his glory, he didn't care whether you were human or orc. Saint King Arthur's teacher was an orc.

It's a pity that no one knows these secrets, and no one would believe Alan even if he told him.

I really hope I can see His Majesty the Holy King again. Alan feels that he is still too young and needs the guidance of His Majesty the Holy King.

Since the lich has caused such a big fuss, His Majesty the Saint King will definitely make a public appearance. I wonder how big of a sensation it will be when he shows up?

Alan couldn't help but look forward to it.

I hope the Holy King can lead Ryan back on the right track.
