Chapter 477 Alicia II and Assan IV(1/2)
The moment the dragons appeared, Arabeth, who was in the midst of thousands of troops, knew that the situation was completely beyond her control. She simply gave up the resistance and didn't even try to escape. Instead, she began to gather around her with the same panic.
The desperate remnants of the soldiers looked very bachelors.
But she was the only one who knew the reality best. How could Arabeth, who had been a member of Luskan's spy stationed in the south in her early years, fail to recognize that the book in Agarson's hand was the giant that plunged the entire Northland into dragon madness.
Book of Dragons.
Since even Aigason, who had such support, was not immune to the attack of those metal dragons, what new tricks could she, a newbie who had just entered the legend, come up with?
In the face of force majeure, she can accept failure, but she cannot accept death, at least not now!
Her past life experiences told her that even if she was thrown into the quagmire, she would still be able to recover, but once she died, there would be no recovery.
As an arcanist but not a believer in the goddess of magic, she deeply understands that after her death, her soul will most likely return to the lower plane due to the inertia of the rules.
Although in a sense, in Corell, death is just the beginning of another situation in life:
If the soul along the River Styx through the Obscure Realm is not lifted up, it will meander as it flows into the lower plane.
Some flow into the top of the Nine Hells, Avernus;
And some rivers pour into the abyss, which is the famous Wanyuan Plain.
Therefore, which plane the deceased falls into depends almost entirely on luck. Of course, for most mortals, both are terrible options.
If they enter the Baator Hell, they will often end up being twisted into Qi Binrs. They will either become goods traded by the devil, or they will be sent to the front lines of bloody battles to become cannon fodder against the devil's invasion.
It is a place where pity withers and resentment flourishes.
It is a plane that uses the rules of order to interpret the nature of evil.
It is a truly cruel world where the strong eat the weak and the fittest survive!
It is said that being exiled to Baator Hell is a relatively benevolent possibility. The most desperate ending is to be directly washed away by the Styx into the bottomless abyss of chaos and become a kind of petitioner called a soul.
The soul has pale skin, cruel claws, sharp teeth, sparse hair, and pale eyes. You can usually even see many maggots squirming in the soul's bloated body.
What's worse is that by then, their memories of their past lives have mostly become broken and distorted fragments, which means that their greatest capital, rationality and wisdom, has disappeared.
Becoming a member of the Chaos Demons will almost be their only way to advance.
Therefore, she has not yet made plans to go to the lower plane. Now, she is far from being able to control her own freedom in that terrifying lower plane.
It must be said that Arabeth's choice was extremely wise, and this single choice of decisive surrender ultimately saved her life.
Because metal dragons from the good camp rarely kill prisoners, which is somewhat against their rules.
Finally, she was dragged by the excited sunset flames and thrown into the palace of the royal city, which was almost filled with a bunch of giant dragons, and shouted:
"Hey, everyone, look who I brought here! A female marshal who is full of evil aura. It's finally time to punish the evil. Should we set her on fire or bury her in the earth?"
But his proposal was ignored by everyone (dragons), and then he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He quickly returned to the 'well-behaved, cute and obedient' look he had when he was glared at by the gem dragon, for fear that he would be punished if he said something wrong again.
Being surrounded by everyone.
His eyes moved slightly, and then he noticed the human queen sitting quietly on the throne at the top of the hall, as if she had lost her voice.
The queen died from a sword wound that was stabbed straight from behind the throne. The murder weapon must have been poisoned, so her face looked a little gloomy.
But even so, the remaining look on her face was still firm and heroic, as if she was enduring the pain to convey some instructions to someone.
Considering that there were not too many civilians when they entered the city...it should be an order to cover the civilians escaping to the coastal port.
Even though he knew that escaping to the port was still within Luskan's control, it was the only option that allowed more people to survive.
Because Luskan, as the victorious nation, would certainly not mind having more prisoners and more people to sell.
It is a pity that this respectable queen was not able to see the moment of dawn and salvation for the besieged royal capital.
But her will and good deeds earned the silent condolences and respect of all the metal dragons present.
The next day, the Fu clan army that set out from Cowell and the fleet from Kaishui City across the sea arrived at Kalidir, the royal capital of Moon Shadow Island.
In this royal capital where the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke still lingered after the initial cleanup of the battlefield, a not grand but solemn funeral and the coronation ceremony of the new king were held successively in the presence of the dragons.
For the dragons in the North who live a slow pace of life, this is a day worth remembering.
They foiled another plot by the mastermind behind the Dragon Worshiping Church to kidnap a dragon, seized the Book of Dragons, the source of all evil, and saved at least hundreds of thousands of lives in Kalidir on Moon Shadow Island.
In the private words of Sunset Flame: "This resume will be enough for Galadelus to boast about for a lifetime."
Even though they are the ones who were rescued and won, this does not prevent them from being beautified and processed, just like a certain Gallic chicken from Blue Star who was also a leader in the World War.
Under the joint gaze of many giant dragons, Levi, who had been the greatest contributor to saving Moon Shadow Island from the crisis and was promoted as the Holy Dragon by the chief priest, personally crowned the dazed Alyssa in the hall.
At this moment, Alyssa still seemed to be in a dream. She looked at Li Wei who was crowning her with some anxiety and asked:
"Your Majesty Levi, can I really be the queen of Moon Shadow Island?"
Levi showed a gentle smile:
"You have to ask yourself, what were you thinking when you agreed to take on this heavy responsibility?"
Alyssa lowered her head slightly. In the past, she was brave and confident, but now she was unusually hesitant and murmured:
"At that time, the chief priest told me that I was probably the only Kendick royal bloodline on Moon Shadow Island. If I stopped doing nothing, not only Moon Shadow Island would probably fall into unprecedented division and chaos, but even the chaos demon dog's
The mark is bound to loosen gradually..."
Li Wei gently patted the young queen's head and sighed: After all, this child has endured everything that she should not have to endure at her age.
Then I saw Alyssa continue:
"Even if I don't want to admit that I am Arkham's daughter, this is the original sin of the bloodline. The disaster and trauma he caused on Moon Shadow Island require comfort and redemption.
"And I am the only bloodline of the Kendick royal family, so this is a responsibility that I cannot shirk."
Hearing this, Li Wei felt even worse, and for a moment he didn't know how to relieve the knot in the other person's heart.
But Alyssa has such precious qualities and responsibilities, and she at least has the mind to be a true king.
Unexpectedly, Alyssa raised her head slightly the next moment, looked at him narrowly, her lips opened and closed slightly, and then Alyssa's voice appeared in his mind:
"In addition, there is the most important reason. My father John has said more than once that the reason why he was able to make a fortune again from a bankrupt businessman was inseparable from the benevolent government and favor of you and Minas Tirith.
"If I become this queen, I can give back to Zeelandia better, right?"
Li Wei was so shocked when he heard this that he almost covered the other person's mouth on the spot, thinking what nonsense he was telling the truth, ghost! You are openly betraying your country, are you making this!
It was then that he suddenly realized that the other party had used communication technology to say this to him. He immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief and responded with the same high-sounding communication technology:
"Ahem! What does giving back to Zeelandia mean? Do you understand that this is called international development assistance? This is a win-win situation for mutual benefit!"
Who would have known that the opposite person had a different personality, and the outspoken Edwina snorted coldly:
"Your Majesty Levis, when you say this, can you control the smile on your face a little? It almost reaches your ears. This is very scary for ordinary humans like us!"
Li Wei immediately said: "Ahem, it's a happy event, so what if you are more cheerful. Well, I admit that you guys who have the courage to take responsibility have indeed helped me a lot to a certain extent."
As a result, Alyssa was on the opposite side again, and the smile on her face became a little mysterious:
"In that case, can I make a small request?"
Not to mention, the dignified newly appointed Queen of Moon Shadow Island requested in such a humble tone. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she still felt a little bit happy.
And if these words were heard by the people watching this scene in the hall at this moment, there would probably be an uproar, and Li Wei's reputation would soon be completely eliminated.
"As long as it's something I can do, it's my responsibility."
Li Wei thought for a moment and concluded that the Queen of the Sword Coast, who had always maintained a good reputation in the North, would not make excessive demands, and immediately agreed.
As a result, I didn’t expect that the former Queen of Sword Coast and now the Queen of Moon Shadow Island was more open and bold than imagined, saying with profound understanding and righteousness:
"You also know that I am the only one of the Kendick bloodline left in the entire Moon Shadow Island, so strengthening the royal family has become a top priority. What do you think, Your Majesty Levis?"
Levi immediately had a bad premonition... Could it be that the Queen of the Sword Coast wanted to imitate the magical Mystra in the Blue Pond and spread the world after being stimulated one after another...
This makes him very embarrassed...
But what the other party said is correct. Now the strength of the Kendick royal family's bloodline is almost related to the safety of the entire Northland!
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Of course that's right, but...it's a little difficult for you."
I heard Alyssa smile a little shyly:
"It's not difficult, so I want to ask you for someone..."
"Who?" Li Wei already had a premonition in his heart.
"My mentor, Kevin Jones."
Alyssa gritted her teeth and said.
She was almost certain that she had hinted so many times over the years that his mentor was a mage! How could he not have noticed it?
So Alyssa is sure that he is pretending to be stupid!
But she didn't know what the other party was hiding...
If this series of events on Yueying Island had not happened, she would still be prepared to spend time with him.
But after experiencing her bloody 'family ethics drama' and several baptisms of life and death, Alyssa felt that her previous self was simply childish and ridiculous.
Since it is love between a man and a woman, and it is between you and me, why do you have to wait until your mentor takes the initiative to pursue you?
To be continued...
