The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

The Holy Maiden of Light in Wilton, the Penglai Commoners of Talis, the royal survivor of Nord, the future god of the Northland, and the defected prince of Nagrand.

The five people sitting at the table can be said to have constituted the most troublesome situation on this continent.The good news is that they have reached an agreement for the time being. Although they don't have a unified and clear goal to bring them together, they don't have the idea of ​​attacking each other.

"To be honest, apart from the fact that you couldn't kill Hussein yourself, I really don't see anything you need our help for." Hecate finally couldn't help throwing out his doubts, "Take your Holy Light Legion, if it doesn’t work, call Wilton’s regular army through the church. It’s too easy for you to fight all the way to Yoda City. You can’t kill him, because you are the servant of the God of Light, so other priests can’t do it Hussein is not that good at fighting if one of them can’t be dealt with, ten or eight will play together.”

"That's just physical death, my friend." Phoebe's voice sank, as if reciting a prayer, "If I take the life of a mortal, his soul will be taken to the place of reincarnation, where another One way continues to come into the world, and if someone takes the life of a god-in fact, no one can do it. Even if Hussein was sentenced to death, it would be only his mortal body that died, his body The soul of the god is safe and sound, and then he can create a new body for himself, which will only speed up his separation from the human race. To destroy him, another god can only obliterate his godhead, then That is death for God."

"Okay, I roughly understand that no matter how many twists and turns there are, as long as you have a way, you won't come to ask me for help." Hecate never took his eyes off Phoebe's hand holding the scepter. Take it away, "However, you're dealing with him because he's hostile to the world... don't I?"

"No." Phoebe replied decisively, "You are a good person."

"Interesting." Hecate laughed, scratching his hair a little embarrassedly, "It's the first time I've heard someone say that about me."

"When a person loves someone, he often loves the world for a while. Regarding your danger, I will wait until Selene dies to reassess, but that is probably what my successor will do. .”

Selene still can't tell whether Phoebe is pretending to be stupid, or if she really can't read the atmosphere around her.Sometimes she's smarter than Selene, and sometimes she's more unsophisticated than Hecate, who just fled from Nagrand.

Why can't I know some normal people.Selene felt more and more that her friendship with Gu Yinuo and Joshua was so precious.

"Ahem." Gu Yinuo cleared his throat, and began to bring the conversation back to normal people, "Thanks to everyone, I can go to Speaker Charles right away and get my new medal."

According to the usual practice, Gu Yinuo would be granted the status of a new noble because of his military exploits, and he would naturally get the Vine Medal.Speaker Charles also had a brief discussion with her. Both of them intended to break this convention, but after thinking about it, they decided to maintain the status quo, because the common people and the new aristocrats really lack the right to speak, and the old aristocrats who manipulate the parliament have never Neither is the parliamentary system itself, but the people who run it.

When a commoner wants to join the parliament, the first thing he thinks of is not his own commoner status, not "giving up is impossible", but to use his talent and hard work to fight for it.After joining the parliament, he will naturally receive the title of nobility, which is the country's recognition and praise for his contributions, rather than letting him go from a position of being discriminated against to a position of discriminating against others.

If one day all the people of Talis can think like this, this will really be a "free and equal" country.

"I sincerely hope that I can live to see that day come." Gu Yinuo was very happy to reach a consensus with Speaker Charles, "I also hope that my compatriots can enjoy the same freedom and equality in this land."

"They will. Speaking of which, has no one told you that there is a Penglai merchant ship parked by the pier?"

Gu Yinuo took off the Rose Medal and was about to pin the Vine Medal on her shoulders. After realizing what this sentence meant, her movements froze in place. She raised her head to look at Charles, stammering and repeating. : "By the pier... there is a merchant ship from Penglai, Penglai?"

Charles smiled and took the Vine Medal back from her hand: "I will keep this for you first. If you decide to come back, it still belongs to you. If you don't want to come back here again, I wish you a safe journey."

Gu Yinuo hurriedly stood up and ran to the door, then turned around and bowed deeply to Charles: "Thank you!"

"I've known for a long time that Talis won't be able to keep you." Charles returned the salute with a smile, "Best trip! Mr. Gu!"

Standing by the pier, Gu Yinuo was not the only one from Penglai.Some of them froze in place, some shook their relatives and friends who came together with ecstasy, and most of them admired this ordinary merchant ship beside the pier: In just a hundred years, Penglai's creation once again shocked everyone.

Then finally, two people stood on the deck of the merchant ship.A girl about 20 years old, and a boy who is slightly shorter than her, look like a pair of siblings.The younger brother supported the railing next to the deck, turned over and jumped onto the shore, and his agility drew another burst of applause.

"Everyone! Does anyone want to buy something made by Penglai?" The young man clapped his hands up high and yelled vigorously, skillfully catching the wooden boxes thrown by his sister from the deck, and placing them on the ground in order, very easily With one hand, he pried open those heavy-looking wooden boards, revealing a variety of novelties inside.

The Penglai people and the Talis people were all waiting for this moment. They rushed forward with gold coins in their pockets, eagerly asking questions one by one, and the young man patiently answered them one by one, occasionally picking up something and shaking it towards the boat: "Sister, what is this?" of?"

In just half an afternoon, the boxes in front of the boy were all empty, replaced by several large boxes full of Talis gold coins.The Penglai merchants in the past were like this. They brought one or several merchant ships to the shore, sold everything in less than a day, and went on the road again at sunset, bringing new goods after a while.

While the siblings were busy moving the gold coins back to the boat, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.Someone curiously asked why the people from Penglai hadn’t been here for so many years, and why they suddenly appeared at the pier in Talis. Overturned, blocking the way of merchant ships all day long, we can’t come here even if we want to come, we just negotiated a while ago, people from Penglai will be able to come to you again in the future.”

When there were only two siblings left at the pier, Gu Yinuo, who was pushed by Selene and Hecate at the same time, finally mustered up his courage: "Excuse me...how do you call it?"

"Ah, from Penglai? My surname is Lin, Lin Qinghuai." Lin Qinghuai stopped what he was doing, "What are you doing?"

"Uh... um... you... are you going to go back now?"

"Yes, before the pier here is trampled down by our colleagues, we have to hurry up and go back and forth a few more times."

"If I pay your travel expenses, can you take me to Penglai?"

This is the most complete and fluent sentence that Gu Yinuo has said since he learned the news about the Penglai merchant ship.

Lin Qinghuai looked at the person in front of him curiously: "Looking at your age, you probably didn't move here from Penglai, did you?"

"Yes, yes." Gu Yinuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I am a survivor...my father is from Penglai."

Lin Qinghuai pointed to the merchant ship behind him straightforwardly: "Go up, if you have luggage, put it in the second room on the left hand side of the cabin."

Gu Yinuo couldn't hide the surprise on his face, he turned back and said goodbye to his friends who were waiting for him.

"I'm a short-sighted person." She shook Selene's hand vigorously, "Seeing the real Penglai appear in front of me, what about freedom and equality, Talis, no matter whether it is the most likely country to become Penglai .Fuck him, I don't care!"

"There will be a period later!" Gu Yinuo took off his hat and threw it on the shore on the merchant ship slowly sailing towards the sea, "When I see what Penglai looks like, I will definitely come back again!"

"Don't come back!" Selene shouted at her, "Stay at ease in your Penglai!"

Driven by the inflated sails of Taoism, Penglai's merchant ship drove so fast that the people on the shore could no longer hear what Gu Yinuo was saying, and could only see her waving her hands vigorously, growing towards her. Farewell to the land.

"People's hearts will eventually return to their hometown. Even if it is a hometown they have never met." Phoebe habitually drew a pentagram for Gu Yinuo, "May the light illuminate her way forward."

"In your opinion, is your hometown the Kingdom of Light?"

If these words were spoken by others, they would definitely be ridiculed or even laughed at, but Hecate turned his head to look at Phoebe, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Yes." Phoebe slowly finished the last stroke of the pentagram, and her hand dropped to her side again.

Phoebe's Kingdom of Light is like Gu Yinuo's Penglai.That country that Gu Yinuo has never set foot in before, but he can abandon everything to go to without hesitation.

"That's what believers yearn for faith." Selene joked with Hecate in a low voice, "What will your kingdom of God be like? I'm waiting to go."

"My kingdom of God?" Hecate looked at her inexplicably, "Isn't my kingdom of God your Nord?"
