Lily, who was concentrating on ordering food, looked up and asked, "What are the Shadowless Kings?"
Luo Xiweiya came up with a plan and said jokingly, "It's the one without a shadow."
Lily thought about it for a while and matched this characteristic with a certain life form she learned from her biology teacher.
"So it's a vampire, boring."
Vampires indeed have no shadows.
Seeing that Lily didn't take the bait, Luo Xiweiya asked Noita again: "Miss Witch, what do you think of the idea of going to the prairie to hunt for treasure?"
Noita stared out the window in a daze and shook her head. "It's not a good idea. The grassland is very dangerous. If we encounter an uncommon disaster, it will be very troublesome."
"You can protect me, and the wilderness is so vast, it's impossible for us to encounter disaster by chance, right?"
"You don't need my protection, but disasters can be very troublesome, and it's not just a matter of probability..."
Noita glanced at the waiter who was still behind the screen, and she left tactfully.
"...If this treasure map is real, and you are determined to find the treasure, you will inevitably come across the legends about Calamity, Meimei, and the tomb of the Shadowless Kings. It does exist somewhere in this wilderness."
Roshivia said doubtfully, "But the tombs of the Shadowless Kings have been excavated. The armed archaeological school of Chongtianling has conquered the tombs and cracked the secrets of the Romulan kings."
"You know it very well." Noita looked at Luo Xiweiya with a smile.
Luo Xiweiya used a smile to hide the embarrassment of having her excuse exposed.
She knew the fate of the Shadowless Kings, and that the tombs of these kings who longed for immortality had been excavated on the high mountain tops.
Now I just want to find an excuse to invite Noita to travel in the wilderness.
But Noita is also familiar with the tombs of the Shadowless Kings.
In the middle of the game, Noita was invited by the gravekeeper to destroy the mountain and throw it into the virtual world along with the tombs, so that it would never have the chance to return to the material world.
These secrets belong to Noita's treasures, and they will not be revealed to anyone now. Roshivia urged curiously, "Don't worry about these details. Tell me why there is also a tomb of the Shadowless Kings in the wilderness. What's going on?"
Noita shared some information that could be known: "Because Romulus has many kings, humans, elves, demons, snake people... many races have a place in Romulus, and the rulers of these forces have the title of Dominus. It is an inclusive kingdom of gods, but also a many-headed monster."
"These races hinder and oppose each other, occasionally uniting to face external forces. Only through this constant internal conspiracy and confrontation can Gaia rule as a unified empire, rather than constantly dividing and uniting as scattered kingdoms."
"However, although there are many internal factions, the Dominus will hold a rotation in the Pantheon every once in a while to decide who will take the position of unified emperor."
"The tombs discovered in Chongtianling were simply a resting place built by a unified emperor for his people. However, due to the long time and incomplete records, most people only know that there is only one tomb complex of the Shadowless Kings."
The fact that Meng Mengtian used excessive force when destroying the Eternal City is one of the reasons why the history of Romulus is difficult to analyze. The history of the Romulus Empire was shattered by the power of the gods and is difficult to piece together.
"There is a group of tombs in the wilderness today that have not yet been discovered."
After explaining some things about the Shadowless Kings, Noita glanced outside the screen and saw someone eavesdropping outside. After she finished speaking, the eavesdropper ran away without stopping.
After the eavesdropper left, Luo Xiweiya whispered in Noita's ear: "Are you deliberately spreading false information to deceive people?"
"This is absolutely true news. Even historians may not know as much as I do."
"If it's true, why would you deliberately leak it to outsiders?"
"If you want to explore the tombs, you'll always need to find some exploration teams to pave the way. Furthermore, when more people want to do something, the collective thoughts will cause feedback in reality, increasing the probability of triggering that event."
Noita waited for the food to be served one by one. After a while, she heard the sound of aggressive footsteps coming towards her.
P.S. Dominus means master or ruler. I was thinking of playing with the Tetrarchy, but on second thought, I'll save that for later!
Chapter 353 Alona (Two in One
The screen was pushed open, and the reckless force caused it to crash onto the table.
Luo Xiweiya had anticipated this and dodged to the inside to avoid being hit by the falling screen. Fortunately, the food had not been served yet, so no food was wasted.
The visitor was a tall lady, dressed in standard savage style, with some gold and silver ornaments on her body. At first glance, her skin color was lighter than that of the savages, and it was obvious that her living conditions were much better than those of the others.
Noita pretended to be confused, as if she didn't understand what this lady who had gathered her friends was doing here.
However, there is no doubt that they have bad intentions.
Noita raised her eyebrows softly, curling the corners of her lips, ready to give this impetuous lady some extraordinary fraudulent gifts.
But her eyes suddenly fixed on the lady's face. She felt that she looked familiar and glanced at Lily beside her.
They look 70% similar, and the difference between their eyebrows and eyes is difficult to distinguish.
"what!"
The lady who rushed over was also stunned and looked at Lily in confusion.
Her blood was throbbing, and the blood connection prompted the lady to focus her attention on Lily, and for a moment she almost forgot the purpose of her visit.
The companions who surrounded her coughed softly, suggesting that now was not the time to be in a daze.
"Alona, there's something important to do."
"oh oh!"
The lady came to her senses and her eyelids twitched when she saw the red robe that Luo Xiweiya was wearing. She lightly lifted the screen and sat down with a crazy smile.
"Hello, my friend from Chongtianling. I'm afraid you're surprised by my intrusive visit. Haha, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Yeah, I'm Alona, and I'll be the greatest ranger of the Goshawk Tribe in the future."
Alona smiled heartily. "My friend and I were drinking in the booth to your left, and while we were enjoying ourselves, we happened to overhear you all enthusiastically discussing the history of the Shadowless Kings. I apologize for my intrusion. But I do have a reason to come here. My companions and I are also searching for a tomb mentioned in the legend of the wilderness. I wonder if there's any chance we could share information?"
Alona smiled at Roshivia the whole time.
She knew that the Red Robe Wizard was an honored guest, so her attitude was much more proper, at least not as rude as when she first arrived. She also thought that Luo Xiweiya was the backbone of the three people, so she focused on discussing things with her.
Noita slowly sipped the tea that had just been served, listening to the two people's negotiation casually.
Luo Xiweiya looked at the similar faces of Alona and Lily with some impatience. She threw the treasure map bought from the store on the table, and she and Alona looked at each other in confusion with the scribbled route and riddle.
"This is it."
Whether Alona would believe the perfunctory information she had was her business. Luo Xiweiya was already a little annoyed. She just wanted to spend some time alone with Noita, but she didn't expect that someone would always interrupt her.
The ambitious Ms. Yuanyemin looked a little unhappy.
"Ma'am, I come with sincerity."
"This is my sincerity. You can go ask around the streets downtown. This is the treasure map I obtained with great difficulty after a verbal battle. If you're looking for clues to the so-called mausoleum, they're in it."
As the words fell, Alona's expression became gloomy, and a cloud gathered from her chest, bursting out with lightning.
Finally, she suppressed her emotions and apologized to Luo Xiweiya: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I was presumptuous."
Luo Xiweiya said gracefully: "It's okay..."
"Stop! Don't run!"
Before he could finish his words, several loud shouts were heard outside the window, followed by a commotion of chickens and dogs.
Noita turned her head curiously and saw the bard wearing a feather hat rushing through the busy city, avoiding a group of people chasing him.
Alona showed dissatisfaction at the chaotic scene, walked around the dining table, came to the window and stopped the chase.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
The cry, like the cry of an eagle, pierced the heads of the pursuers and the bard. The sudden mental shock made them dazed and they fell to the ground without paying attention, unable to get up for a long time.
After both sides lost their ability to resist, Alona turned around and said, "This gathering place is jointly managed by the Goshawk Tribe and the Jinghai people. The chaos is our fault. I'm truly sorry."
While Alona and Luo Xiweiya were negotiating, Noita had already eaten a bowl of tea without attracting anyone's attention.
This is a quiet development!
She put down the bowl, waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. What's the conflict between them?"
Seeing Noita's interest, Alona played along and said, "How about we drag them up here for a confrontation and ask what happened?"
"This is good."
The young men and women who often rode with Alona in fine clothes and on horses, traveling in the wild, carried the poet and others up and set up a small court.
"Elodah, why don't you follow the test and protect the herd, but instead chase this poet from a foreign land?"
Alona knew Eloda, a devout believer of the Dragon God who vowed to take care of the herd dedicated to the Dragon God for his entire life and only leave the herd on specific days.
But today he suddenly broke his oath, put aside his responsibilities and came to the gathering place.
The effect of the eagle's cry faded from Eloda's mind. He looked at Alona anxiously and said dejectedly, "My lord, the responsibility lies with me. I was momentarily bewildered. Seeing that this man was extremely wealthy and weak, I wanted to steal some money from him."
"How much money can a poet have?"
Alona laughed at Eloda for not even choosing rich people for robbery.
But suddenly a bag of gold rolled out of the poet's arms, hitting the ground with a sound, cutting off Alona's voice.
"Ah... this is indeed the temptation of the monster."
Alona forced herself not to look at the beautiful gold and continued to ask Eloda: "You chased me all the way from the pasture to here?"
"Of course not! How dare I break my oath for a bag of gold, Lady Alona? I returned to the tribe to announce a great event," Eloda said excitedly. "The young men who challenged the Dragon Mountains said the Dragon God had transformed into a human and was heading for the gathering place. When I heard about this, I didn't dare to delay a moment and rushed here immediately. Look, one of my shoes has gone missing."
Eloda quietly turned his body sideways, revealing his skinny, dark foot that had lost one shoe.
No one cared about this at this time. Alona and a group of young people were very excited. The human body of the Dragon God came to the tribe, which meant that the god they worshipped had come to the mortal world.
In her excitement, Alona punched Eloda on the shoulder. "Eloda, you've really been bewildered by the devil. You dare to delay such a thing! If you hadn't been stopped, how long would you have chased this innocent poet?"
"I am possessed by a demon, and I beg your Excellency to punish me."
"How to punish you is the poet's business. What about the warriors who climbed the mountain? Where did they go?"
"These good boys have suffered varying degrees of injuries from the fall. The rest of the Oath Keepers are currently tending to them and will arrive later."
After sorting things out, Alona looked at the rest of the people chasing the poet.
"Are these Oathkeepers too?"
"No, they were the ones who surrounded the poet..."
Eloda was about to explain his encounter with the poet when the poet pleaded for him, "Sir, Mr. Eloda's arrival actually saved my life. If he hadn't frightened these villains, I would have been thrown cold in the wilderness. He saved my life, so please don't punish him."
The poet's sudden plea surprised Alona. She looked at the poet carefully and found his delicate skin and tender flesh very pleasing to the eye.
This plea also gave Alona a way to not punish Eloda too severely - after all, Eloda was the first messenger to bring the news that the Dragon God walked the world, which was of great significance. If he was punished too severely, it would not look good.
Alona went along with it and said, "Since the victim has pleaded for mercy, Eloda, I won't bother you this time. Just remember this incident and take it as a warning. Poet, what about those bandits who initially surrounded you? Are you willing to let them go?"
The poet shook his head.
Not to mention that Alona has already labeled these people as robbers, just speaking of his inner wishes, the poet does not want to let them off easily.
"In that case, respecting the victim's wishes and considering you haven't caused any major consequences, I will punish you with a month of hard labor in the salt mines."
According to the wild tradition, if a thief was punished by having his hand cut off or his face tattooed, the punishment would be a month of hard labor, which was considered lenient.
"Lord Alona is wise."
Everyone praised Alona's brilliant judgment and was very happy.
Noita quietly finished another bowl of broth, feeling shocked.
If Fei Xin saw this scene, she would probably be angry, or she might not care, because she loves Serkar, not Dragon Wilderness.
Under the table, Luo Xiweiya kicked Noita lightly.
"Why are you eating secretly without calling me?"
Alona's stubbornness did not stop the restaurant from serving the dishes, and in a short while, there were already quite a few dishes on the table.
Noita and Lily were both busy eating, which made Luo Xiweiya, who was not busy eating, feel like an outsider.
Noita knew what the girl was thinking, so he immediately put down his chopsticks and spread out his hands to show Luo Xiweiya that he was not eating secretly and was keeping pace with her.
After a moment of silent banter, Alona's court session came to an end.
Following her cue, everyone retreated in an orderly manner. She also looked at Luo Xiweiya and apologized gently, "I'm sorry to interrupt your precious meal time. Please put the money on my account this time. I hope this can make up for the wasted time."
Luo Xiweiya nodded reservedly.
"it is good."
After getting permission, Alona left quickly.
She had long seen that the red-robed wizard had no intention of communicating with her, and was unwilling to even exchange names.
The unexpected event brought by the poet just saved her from trouble, allowing her to leave calmly without being too embarrassed.
