The Sun King's Evidence

The platinum phoenix and the golden shadow faced each other in the void. The human lord's eyes were disgusted and contemptuous, while the phoenix lord was arrogant and contemptuous.

To a certain extent, the Emperor is indeed a junior in front of Asuryan. No one knows the exact age of the Emperor, but in any case it will not be more than fifty thousand years, and Asuryan's age... is based on thousands of years. Counting ten thousand years, he was the same generation as the Ancient Sage. In terms of seniority alone, when Asuryan and the Ancient Sage were chatting and laughing, the emperor didn't know where he was.

Moreover, Asuryan was indeed more powerful than the Emperor in his heyday, and much more powerful. During the Battle of the Eldar Empire in Heaven, he could align nine stars in a line to detonate a supernova, severely damaging the Star God Nightbringer. It is beyond the reach of the Emperor. Only those who have truly faced it know how powerful the Star God is.

Of course, that was in the past, and Asuryan's remaining power is equivalent to a silhouette of the past. Now Asuryan's strength is no longer the emperor's opponent.

But the lonely God above God is still God above God. As the God of Creation, no one knows how many trump cards and hidden power Asuryan has. And more importantly, this is Asuryan’s domain. Just like in the Light of the Star Torch, the Emperor will not lose to any Chaos Demon. The same is true for the power of Asuryan in the Phoenix Realm. The Emperor knows that if he fights here, he has no chance of winning, or even no chance of victory. He will definitely be Asuryan's opponent. If it weren't for Ryan and Fulgan's mission being too important this time, he wouldn't show up.

Similarly, Asuryan's cold and emotionless eyes hidden behind the black and white mask were also staring at the emperor, and the Phoenix Lord was also indecisive and hesitant in his heart.

Within his domain, Asuyan will not be afraid of anything, but if he is really hostile to the Lord of Humanity in front of him, then it means that Asuyan will never dare to leave his domain at will, even though he has committed suicide. Larion never left the Phoenix Pyramid again, but it was one thing to be able to go out and not want to go out, and it was another thing to be trapped and unable to go out.

In this way, the two sides faced each other in the void for a while. No one could do anything to the other, and neither took the initiative to attack.

The emperor's cold eyes stared at Asuyan for a while, who had transformed into a platinum phoenix. He saw that the Phoenix Lord had no intention of attacking for the time being, and he already understood Asuyan's thoughts. The voice of the Lord of Humanity was like ten thousand years of black ice. Even the fire of the phoenix trembled in front of his voice: "χωμίαπρταση."

"..." Asuyan was silent for a long time, the phoenix holy fire continued to sway, and the two sides faced off in the void for a long time.

Finally, He gave a silent answer.

Both Ryan and Fulgrim felt the cold gaze. The King of Knights and the leader of the Ashes were both momentarily stunned and hesitant. In the view of Phoenix King Fenuba, this may be understood as the country dogs have never seen such a cold gaze. The glorious royal court.

The reception room furniture of the Phoenix King's Court is all made of sandalwood imported from China. Countless ancient stories and wonderful patterns are engraved on it. Many decorations may seem simple and messy, but in fact there are mysteries and great significance contained therein. It is not something that superficial races like humans can understand. When the elves, led by Alario, fought bloody battles with the Chaos Demons, when the war finally ended and the elves sang sad songs for the rest of their lives, humans Probably still climbing on the trees, jumping around, picking fruits to eat.

But Finuba is not a harsh or arrogant Phoenix King. On the contrary, he is more tolerant and approachable than anyone else. When the Phoenix King's attendants want to remind humans of their disrespect, Finuba signals everyone not to care, and at the same time He also signaled the White Lion captain Kohler to prepare some pastries and fruits.

Seeing that Ryan didn't speak, Sulia couldn't speak herself. The female knight focused her attention on the tapestries on both sides of the living room. The great deeds of countless elven martyrs were painted on the tapestries. The windows were inlaid with crystals and thick The curtains covered most of the scenery outside, and Sulia focused her attention on the satin curtains again. She saw a line of small words in the corner of the curtains.

"Made in Nuln."

Sulia suppressed a smile. The prosperity of the high elf economy now indeed comes to a great extent from trade with the whole world. As the largest and most developed industrial area in the empire, Nur, the little maid Emilia, naturally has frequent trade.

Ryan and Fulgrim were stunned for only a few seconds, and the strange feeling disappeared. Fulgrim maintained his elegance and saluted Finuba with impeccable etiquette. He smiled and said nothing, because Fulgrim knew that he didn't speak Elvish very well, so he simply didn't speak it. He was not the protagonist anyway, at least not in the eyes of the high elves.

Tyrion looked at Ryan and Fulgrim and nodded slightly. Obviously these two strong human beings also knew the background and power of the high elves, but Teclis frowned slightly. He knew Ryan, and he knew that Ryan must have discovered something. .

Ryan also came back to his senses at this time. He stared at Fenuba, the great Navigation King. His first half of life was so magnificent. He traveled all over the world and almost single-handedly opened up the trade routes of the old world. , after returning to Lothern, he became the Phoenix King.

However, just after this, all Fenubar's deeds came to an abrupt end, leaving only a king who never left home and silently governed Ulthuan in the Phoenix King's Court forever.

Finuba is tall and mighty. He has long golden hair and a beautiful long sword hanging on his waist. Different from his tall figure, Finuba has a smaller face. He has keen eyesight but does not have any special skills. Aggressive, wearing a simple-colored Sinian silk robe with many simple patterns embroidered on it, hanging straight to the ground.

The seemingly simple pattern is actually hand-drawn with extremely high-precision Sinian embroidery. If you look closely, you will see that the surface of the silk has overlapping of more than a dozen patterns to become the simple phoenix pattern on the robe.

The two sides first exchanged some routine polite words and greetings. In order to prevent anyone from gossiping, this part will be skipped.

After the diplomatic rhetoric ended, both parties sat down and the language environment gradually became more relaxed.

"Your Majesty the Knight King, welcome to Ulthuan." Fenubar saw that Ryan had come back to his senses, so he said warmly. The Phoenix King's voice was rough and slightly hoarse, which may be due to the long voyage in his early years. , but the Phoenix King's appearance is still friendly and young: "You seem to be very interested in the furnishings in the royal court? Sit down."

"No, I am more interested in your Majesty's power." Ryan pulled Sulia to sit down. The Knight King looked at the Phoenix King with interest: "You seem to have some kind of special power."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Your Majesty Ryan. If I have the special power you are talking about, then I hope I can put it to use. If I don't, then I hope I do, otherwise I wouldn't be here. To see you, our meeting should be at sea." Fenuba laughed, like an old captain at this time: "I can guess what you are talking about, but unfortunately I can't tell you unless I die."

"His power changes you." Ryan smiled: "Just like the lady's power changed me."

"It's very similar, but not exactly. The lady's Holy Grail makes you live longer and stronger, but I am completely different." Fenuba nodded: "Asuryan's holy fire allowed me... to complete my transformation, and the flame allowed me to gain some Knowledge, some obscure knowledge, and nothing else.”

"Knowledge is power." Ryan said with a smile: "Protect it well."

"I hope so too, but I seem to have lost the key to it. Before, I lost to Cohill in military chess all day long, and after that, I was still defeated by him, often." Finuba He smiled and said, "I lost a lot of money."

"You possess the wealth of all Ulthuan."

"Those fortunes all have owners, but I have their trust."

"Trust is a more precious thing."

“I hope so too, I always remind myself that it took a lot of effort for me to have it.”

“Trust is precious and takes countless hours to build, but it only takes one time to build up all your efforts.”

"No one knows which time it is, the next time, this time, or the last time?"

"If it's not handled well, it will be every time."

The conversation between Ryan and Fenuba was strange, but the two kings were in such high spirits that they didn't even allow anyone to interrupt. They spoke to each other, and the fluent conversation continued like this.

The White Lion Guards brought a large amount of pastries and fruits. Fulgen and Sulia noticed that the pastries were very exquisite, and the fruits were very special...plenty of bananas and large tracts of watermelon, on several fruit plates. There are only these two kinds of fruits, and the quantity is extremely large, and the fruits are extremely large. It can be seen that this is Gao Jing's intentional arrangement.

High elves seem to think that humans love to eat bananas and watermelons (high elves call them water melons).

The fruits and cakes were not served immediately. The elf maids and attendants tested the poisons before presenting them.

Ryan thought that Lilith was right. There have been countless assassinations against the Phoenix King in the Phoenix Court's thousands of years of history. Although they were basically failures, there were also successes. For example, the poet king Isis died because of the assassination. Therefore, The protection of the Phoenix King has become the most important thing for the Phoenix Court, especially those Phoenix Kings who are not good at fighting. For example, Fenuba is like this. No one dares to believe that Fenuba can protect himself. Bai Bai The Lion Guards always stand almost a step away from him and watch closely in every direction. Even so, the Phoenix King faces at least one assassination every year.

The final investigation of each assassination concluded that it was attributed to Malekith, the Witch-king in faraway Nagaros, or the hedonistic conspiracy lurking among the high elves, every time.

But after Ryan heard Fenuba's words today, the Knight King suddenly felt that it might not all be the conspiracy of the Witch King and the Hedonism Sect.

Every Phoenix King has opponents, and this problem is most obvious in Fenuba. A navigator whose personal bravery, military ability, and magical attainments are not outstanding will be destined to be controversial. Although everyone Both realized that Assur needed an elf who knew the world outside Ulthuan and a good diplomat.

Sulia put a pair of long black stocking legs together. The Knight Queen understood the Phoenix King's superb dialogue skills and political level. He was strengthening his royal power and influence in this way. The threats of undead pirates and dark elves caused constant internal strife. , the internal disputes in Ulthuan, where the palace intrigues continued, temporarily stopped, and Fenubar immediately seized this opportunity. He was trying to express something to Ryan, but Ryan pushed back calmly.

Fulgrim smiled and said nothing. He watched his brother's performance and suddenly felt like he was watching a performance, just like Horus and himself. The leader of the Ash Legion gave up talking. The attendant gave him a banana, and he took it. , opened the skin of the banana with his hands, put it into his mouth, twisted it gently, and half of the banana was immediately bitten off, and there was even a sound: "Crack!"

This sound made all the male elves present shudder, and they subconsciously clamped their legs. Even Tyrion, who had always been brave and fearless, felt a cold wind blowing between his legs, and his body shivered, while Tiger Reese realized that there was some kind of special magic in Fulgrim's voice, which invaded the brains of everyone present through hearing and caused a strong mental stimulation effect.

The Supreme Mage thought that Ryan's group of demigod brothers were really inscrutable, and... thinking of this, Teclis turned his attention to Fenubar again.

The Phoenix King and the Knight King probably talked too much.

Sometimes Teclis has to admit that some of the views in the War Council are right, that is, as the Phoenix King, what Finubar has to do is to be the spiritual leader of all Ulthuan, and other things should naturally be done professionally. Someone, such as the War Council, the Magister Council or the Eternal Queen, would handle it. Thinking of this, Teclis and Tyrion looked at each other and gave a slight wink to a courtier behind them.

Fenubar seemed to want to continue chatting with Ryan, but a courtier had to come up and remind him that it shouldn't take so long to receive humans, even if the other party is a human king, the same is true, and diplomacy with these lower races does not take much time. Time is of the essence. They are here to help in the war. Nothing else matters. The Phoenix King still has many things to deal with.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Fenubar's face, but he controlled it well. No one saw it except Ryan, Sulia and Fulgen who were facing him. The Phoenix King reached out and held the long hair around his waist. The hilt of the sword, he only had the strength of the legendary primary level, which was a bit conspicuous among half the room filled with saintly warriors. The White Lion Guard obviously did not trust the Phoenix King's ability, and they immediately protected Fenuba behind them. Phoenix Wang Xiao said helplessly: "Please forgive me, everyone, I may have to excuse myself."

"It's okay, Your Majesty." Ryan also felt a little regretful. Fenuba had some kind of magic power, which was a very strong affinity and the ability to easily make the topic relaxed and informal. He understood why Fenuba was able to speak in the old world. The world has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"But before that, I have a gift for you." Fenuba motioned the attendant to deliver a satin-covered tray with three exquisite phoenix-pattern brooches placed on it: "Generally speaking, Outsiders can only live in the outsider activity area, but both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Fulgen are our friends. These three phoenix brooches represent our friendship. Wearing them, you can freely travel in Lothern. Action in the outer city.”

"Thank you." Ryan and others accepted the phoenix brooch. The King of Knights thought for a moment and indicated that he still had questions: "So, about how to jointly fight..."

"I have given full authority to the war lord Tyrion and the war council appointed by me to handle this matter." Fenuba motioned to Tyrion to answer. The war lord took a step forward and said to Ryan and Fulgrim: "As for how to fight, we need to hold a meeting to discuss again. The dark elves and undead pirates are coming fiercely. We must be prepared and mobilized. When we formulate the combat policy and plan, we will naturally notify you as soon as possible."

It's just a notification, right? Ryan didn't change his expression after hearing this: "That would be troublesome."

"Oh, yes, there are more." Fenuba ignored the courtier's urging eyes and motioned for an attendant to come forward: "During this time, please invite the Knight King and his wife and Lord Fulgen to take a good tour of the beautiful scenery of Lothern. Well, this is Arsène, the Erudite, my trusted courtier. He will follow you during this period. If you have any needs, you can ask him. He will also remind you of some forbidden things here. I wish you a good time. .”

"Hello, His Majesty the Knight King, Queen, and Legion Commander, you can call me Arsena directly. I am honored to serve you." A high-elf courtier wearing high-elf noble clothes came forward: "Please follow me Bar."

In this way, after a brief meeting, Ryan and others left the Phoenix Court.

On the way back, Ryan secretly said to Lidya Su: "He reminds me of someone."

"Who?" Lidya Su thought for a moment: "Richard?"

"Yeah." Ryan nodded: "I can see that they have similar problems."

"We'd better not get involved in the political whirlpool of high elves, dear." Sulia reminded in a low voice: "This is harmful to us."

"I know."

At the same time, within the city of Lothern, in a small palace deep in a certain neighborhood.

"The army of human monkeys has arrived in Lothern, and according to the intelligence, this is a group of monkeys that are quite capable of fighting!"

"This news must be reported to the Witch King and Witch Queen immediately!"

"Send someone to keep them under surveillance!"

"yes!"
