Chapter 775 Chapter773 The First Marker of Kindred's Mark
The Demacia envoys stayed at the Foreign Guesthouse under Lester's arrangement.
The Fidelite Foreign Guests' Hotel is located in a secluded area in the inner city, and its beautiful scenery is one of the few even in Fidelite.
The manor is surrounded by moonlight birches with sound-absorbing properties, and many magical plants are planted in the flower beds. The flowers bloom to seek the sun, and the stamens scatter to chase the moon.
There is no need for Piltover's electric lights or candlelight braziers. At night, the magical plants in the manor will emit a hazy and beautiful natural shimmer, bright enough to illuminate the dark night, but not dazzling.
The Jingyue Lake next to the flower garden is full of fish, sparkling, and the clear lake reflects the stars in the sky magnified by the Osgoode Tower. The beautiful moon disk can be touched with one's hand, giving people the ethereal illusion of wandering through the stars.
Hundreds of seven-color fireflies by the lake sometimes disappear into the darkness, sometimes flashing with fluorescence, like silk satin of light flowing in the air.
Walking on the manor's bluestone-carved flagstones, Fiona left the banquet hall and found an unusual sense of tranquility and joy. This was a shock different from the [Magic Hot Spring] and [Magic Stove].
Fiona firmly believed that the stunning scenery in front of her could never appear in a depressing and solemn city like Demacia. Compared with the proud capital of Demacia, Feidelet was more like a place that should not exist. In the magical wonderland of the world.
According to the forbidden demons, the origin of all evil is magic, but wherever magic exists, it is accompanied by corruption and decay. Here, Fiona only feels the wonder and beauty of magic. Under order, magic It facilitates life and embellishes ordinary colors, but the darkness and chaos of magic cannot be seen.
Indulging in the silence of the night, Fiona began to wonder whether her motherland's bottomless ban on demons was something worthy of praise.
Thinking of this, Fiona felt that the Demacians were a bit pathetic.
Because of the propaganda of the Demacia royal family and the conflicts between Demacia and Germany, Demacia has always been closed to the country. Except for a few big businessmen with backgrounds who exchange goods between the two countries, the border between the two countries is basically closed. Not any immigrants.
Under this circumstance, many Demacians spent their entire lives believing that the world outside Demacia was full of riots and turmoil. Demacians who longed to live in a stable environment never left Demacia throughout their lives. A closed land, until I was buried in the soil and took my last breath, I never saw the beauty of the world.
"This is what the kingdom calls a 'barbaric and vulgar' country. While Demacians are still chopping wood for cooking, these 'barbarians' can already use magic stoves to boil water and make porridge without leaving home."
Stopping by the lake, Fiona was convinced that she preferred this 'barbaric and vulgar' country to the capital of Demacia.
At least the Noxians are a little arrogant, but they don't have the inherent prejudice of the Demacians.
Apparently the young Fiona still didn't know that in the eyes of the Noxians, the Remacians were 'upright little cowards hiding in the cracks of the rocks'.
"Fiona, do you like it here?"
Her father's voice came from not far behind her. Fiona turned around and watched her father slowly walking towards her.
"I'm not sure if I like it."
"But if you give me a choice, I think I would rather live here than Demacia."
Fiona told her truest thoughts, and Sebastian smiled. He was not surprised that his daughter would give such an answer, because he thought so too.
The relationship between the Laurent family and the empire must not be severed.
"My daughter, it seems you already have your answer."
"Dad, now I know why you specially arranged teachers to teach us the history of Noxus, so that we should not be prejudiced against Noxus... If there was prejudice, I would never come here, how could it be possible? See such a wonderful view?”
A firefly landed on Sebastian's fingertips, and the man agreed very much with his daughter's words.
"It is always difficult for people to accept things beyond their own knowledge... Fiona, I am the same. This is the influence of the country on the people - if every Demacian knows that magic is so wonderful, then Demacia Marcia would fall apart in an instant,
If our family ancestors had not forgotten their bloodline roots, I am afraid that we would not be able to see the world clearly. "
The smart Fiona heard the implication of her father's words. Apparently Emperor Jarvan chose his own power between the progress of the Demacians and the power of the Lightshield family.
"Dad, if everyone in this world used magic like the Noxians, wouldn't there be so many poor people who don't have enough to eat?"
"Dad can't answer this question for you, because it's also his first time coming into contact with the world of magic.
Fiona, now that you are here, you might as well find the answer yourself. "
Sebastian turned around and walked away.
Fiona let out a breath.
Hopefully she can find the answers she wants before she leaves here.
…
Three days later, the Demacian mission living in the foreign guesthouse received an invitation from the emperor. Sebastian, Tiana and Fiona rode the carriage that came to pick them up and headed to Feide. A certain royal palace in Wright.
The royal palace of Noxus reflects the iron-blooded style of the Noxians. The majestic and solemn gilded marble carved arches support a heavy building complex. Guards in heavy armor stand beside the towering high walls. Elite soldiers, the palace occupies a large area, and the Demacia envoys walked for half an hour to reach their destination.
Amid the shouts of the palace guards, Fiona walked into the palace cautiously, stopped in front of the red carpet in front of the steps of the hall, mustered up the courage to take a look at the ruler of the empire on the throne, and her breath couldn't help but suffocate.
Is the Holy Emperor of the Empire actually so young? Moreover, there seems to be an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The dizzy Fiona lowered her head unconsciously.
"Long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor Leicester!"
According to the pre-rehearsed etiquette, Tiana and Sebastian knelt down on one knee to pay respect to the owner of the palace. Fiona, who was a little confused, was slow for a moment and had no time to speak, so she could only follow hurriedly. salute.
Because of this, Fiona, who was rude, quickly received several cold and reproachful looks.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the Holy Emperor did not pursue his daughter's discourtesy.
On the throne, Lester looked at the three of them, paused for a moment on the girl Fiona, and then focused on Tiana's bumpy body, and smiled.
"His Majesty Jarvan is actually willing to send a dashing beauty like Captain Tiana as an envoy to the empire. It seems that His Majesty Jarvan is very sincere."
With Tiana's blushing face slightly annoyed, Lester turned his eyes to Sebastian.
"Tell me, what does Demacia want to discuss with me? Are you dissatisfied with the deal I proposed?"
Seeing that Tiana, who has an arrogant personality and a hot temper, did not show any rude behavior, Sebastian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and bowed.
"I returned to Your Majesty without any dissatisfaction. His Majesty Jiawen just wanted to know more specifically what the purpose of your country's request for the Forbidden Demonic Stone Forest was.
The Forbidden Stone Forest is the foundation of Demacia. This is a serious matter. If His Majesty Leicester does not want to destroy the Forbidden Stone Forest, His Majesty Jarvan may agree to the deal proposed by His Majesty Leicester..."
"'Maybe'? No need to test. I want the land in the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest for no other reason than to destroy the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest."
Lester's smile faded and he said calmly.
"We might as well open the sky and speak frankly. Don't bargain with me on the basis of our founding. In the entire Valoran continent, only the Noxus Empire is your imaginary enemy, and it is also the only imaginary enemy.
The "foundation" of Demacia is to fight against Noxus. Now that I have promised the Lightshield family Demacia's autonomy, I still want to bargain? "
"Since you are unwilling to hand over the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, the Empire's cavalry will personally seize it... If there are no other suggestions, I don't think we need to continue talking."
As he spoke, Lester began to fall asleep, making the three people under the throne a little anxious.
Throwing out the words he had prepared in advance had no effect. Sebastian looked at Tiana and winked. Seeing Tiana nodding with an ugly expression, he spoke.
"Your Majesty, I apologize for my mistake.
In fact, Jarvan's intention is not that the Forbidden Stone Forest cannot be handed over, but without the Forbidden Stone Forest, Demacia's Forbidden Stone buildings will be difficult to maintain. When the time comes, magic will inevitably invade Demacia, which will inevitably cause huge riots. "
Lester said coldly.
"Then your Majesty Jarvan means that I have to help him find a way to continue to expel magic? Do you still want me to build an Osgood for him in the palace?"
"this……"
"It's not impossible. If His Majesty Jarvan is willing to abdicate and hand over the imperial power, I can consecrate His Majesty Jarvan as the Provincial Consul in Demacia...
Of course, by then the laws of Demacia will have to be changed to the laws of the Noxus Empire. Can His Majesty Jarvan accept such a result? "
Sebastian smiled bitterly to himself. Handing over the land of Demacia was possible, but handing over the imperial power of the Lightshield family was impossible. Jarvan III sent him to negotiate and take advantage, not to surrender.
"It seems that the envoys have not figured out what they are here to discuss with me. There is still some time before the noon banquet. You two can think about it carefully."
Lester changed the topic and looked at Fiona who was silent with her head lowered.
"This is the daughter of the Laurent family, Miss Fiona Laurent?"
"Your Majesty, my name is indeed Fiona Laurent."
In a daze, Fiona introduced herself to her family in an extremely shameful way. Only when she said the words did Fiona feel inappropriate.
"Miss Laurent, you seem to be afraid of me?"
Lester narrowed his eyes.
Sebastian hurriedly opened his mouth to cover.
"Your Majesty, this is my first time traveling far away to experience such an important event. Your Majesty seems to be a god. It is inevitable that my daughter will feel admiration for you. I am rude because of this. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, Miss Laurent, come forward and let me take a good look at you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Amid everyone's somewhat puzzled gazes, Fiona walked to Lester's throne in small steps, with a stubborn face and a very complicated expression.
Lester frowned and looked at it for a while. He felt that the back of his right hand was vaguely warm. When he raised it and looked at it, his expression changed slightly.
The hazy light blue mark on the back of the hand is none other than the soul master mark left by Qian Jue.
[It’s actually the Seal of Qianjue? Could it be that Fiona is the reincarnation of an old friend? 】
The man calmed down his somewhat scary look, and couldn't help but secretly recall what Mirror Claw had said to him after he gained a physical body.
Talking about the Seal of Kindred can be traced back to the first time he participated in the Ionia Spirit Blooming Festival. At that time, he fell in love with Xiyue and took Xiyue and the cat boy to participate in the Presiden Magic Garden. Spirit Blossom Festival,
Just in time to encounter Nocturne's invasion, he and his spiritual soul left the body and went to the spiritual realm to deal with Nocturne. Teng was unable to take action against Doron Castro, who was possessed by the demon.
As a result, Xiyue was killed by the True Demon Swordsman Doron in order to protect him. When he lost his love, he became furious and used the power of runes to catalyze ice magic, freezing and shattering the True Demon Swordsman who almost killed him.
He still couldn't understand his hatred after crushing Doron Castro's body to ashes. He was about to take Doron's soul away and torture it slowly, but Kindred appeared in front of him and stopped him with the threat of the Mother of Masks. action,
After the conversation, Kindred asked him to release Doron's soul on the condition of a soul mark.
As long as the dead in Runeterra are not exterminated, they will return to the underworld and enter the reincarnation of the River Styx, waiting for the Mother of Masks to cleanse their souls and return to the material realm.
If the washed soul does not have the soul mark left by the mask spirit, once it returns to the material realm for reincarnation, it will never leave any traces of the past. Although the soul marked person has no memory of the past life, he can return to the Styx to retrieve the past life. memory.
To use an analogy, the Styx is equivalent to an indestructible bedrock memory. The soul mark of the Mask Spirit is equivalent to converting the soul data from RAM to ROM. The memory is backed up in the Styx memory, and is controlled by the Mother of Masks. Restore factory settings under
If he could not retrieve the memories of his past life, Lester would not agree to Qian Jue's request and let Doron's soul go. From the beginning, he was not someone willing to suffer.
After he returned to Valoran, he asked Kindred to mark the souls of several other women who were close to each other but could not live forever like demigod angels, including Elena and Destiny who later died in the Garden of Forgetfulness. Grace, who was divided, was also among them, which is why Qian Jue always avoided him.
Before Kind Jue took off his mask, these Soul Markers had never appeared. It was as if they did not exist. Lester had almost forgotten the agreement he had made with Kind Jue.
After Kindred took off his mask, obtained a physical body and left the underworld, he naturally could not continue to monitor whether the Soul Marker had completed the reincarnation of Styx, so he left the Seal of Kindred on the back of his right hand.
Although there is no way to monitor those marked by Kindred's mark throughout Runeterra like Kindred, relying on the mark can still detect the reincarnated souls within a certain range.
The recollection was a little complicated. In everyone's opinion, Lester's expression just changed for a few seconds before returning to normal, and even put on a gentle smile.
"Miss Laurent, what would you like to eat for lunch?"
"ah?"
