Chapter 1019: Mia’s past with the Zhuyue 1 clan
"See His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince!"
Mia's slender eyelashes were trembling, and she knelt down on one knee in a hurry, lowering her head deeply towards Lei Xiao.
At this moment, Mia understood clearly.
Standing in front of her was the most powerful person in the Lengyan Kingdom, who commanded an army of millions and had six fifth-level warriors under his command. His status was high enough to stand alongside the king, and he would not kneel before the king.
How could this not make her, an insignificant little mercenary, terrified?
What's more, her Zhuyue clan was only one of the four wealthy families in the Leng Yan Kingdom during its most prosperous period.
Although he was eventually expelled from the Cold Flame Kingdom, he at least had three hundred years of stability and no longer had to wander around.
Half-elves must repay their kindness, and this alone is enough for her to pay the highest respect to Lei Xiao, who is the helmsman of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
"Mia, get up quickly. You also put in a lot of effort in the Battle of Kelburg, and were even on the brink of crisis. Your brave performance has won the respect of all of us."
Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped the frightened half-elf girl up, then smiled slightly.
"Your Highness is ridiculous. I am just a mercenary. Since Your Highness has given me enough commission, I will naturally go all out."
After sitting down again, Mia drank a cup of black tea and suppressed her excitement from the bottom of her heart.
She nodded to Lei Xiao and said seriously: "On the contrary, His Highness invited me to participate in such a grand triumphal ceremony and the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty the Queen, which makes me flattered."
After a pause, Mia looked embarrassed again, and added in a low voice: "I even pay my commission every day."
"Mia, you deserve this."
Lei Xiao raised his hand, first motioning to Xiaoya who was waiting at the side to pour tea, and then solemnly said: "Your parents and ancestors once fought for the Lengyan Kingdom and made great contributions. I invite their descendants to participate in the Queen's triumphal return. Ceremony and coronation, isnt this a very normal thing?
"But those are things in the past. The half-elves are destined to be wandering."
Mia lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly.
Then, her fair face was filled with doubts, and she finally asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "Your Highness, how did you know that I am from the Zhuyue clan when we first met? But I have never mentioned my origin and ethnic group to others."
"The first person to discover this was not me, but the newly crowned Her Majesty the Queen. She recognized your appearance at a glance. It is very similar to Wangyou who assisted the King of Heroes in establishing the Kingdom of Cold Flame."
Lei Xiao did not hide anything and responded with a smile: "When Her Majesty the Queen and I first met, she once said that one of her dreams was to welcome the Zhuyue clan back to the Cold Flame Kingdom, so she did this Its not difficult to be a little natural.
"So that's it. I didn't expect that the young Her Majesty the Queen still hasn't forgotten the achievements of the Zhuyue clan."
Mia was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of sincere relief appeared on her delicate face.
Immediately afterwards, Mia seemed to realize something, her pointed ears suddenly trembled slightly, and she said in disbelief: "Your Highness, are you saying that Her Majesty the Queen plans to let the Zhuyue Clan return to this land?"
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Lei Xiao nodded to the half-elf girl and said bluntly: "To be more precise, this is the reason why I specially meet with you now."
"The former Cold Flame Kingdom regarded you as a thorn in its side. It was their misfortune and loss, but Her Majesty the Queen and I sincerely intend to welcome you back to the Cold Flame Kingdom, restore your honor, and make up for the mistakes of the previous kings."
"Mia, you should have noticed that I have enough financial resources and strength to fulfill this promise, but unfortunately, now is not the best time."
Lei Xiao's expression became more formal, and he said seriously: "Mia, the Cold Flame Kingdom is currently surrounded by powerful enemies. Although it is calm on the surface, it may fall into a crisis of annihilation at any time and trigger a terrifying war, so I Instead, I need your help.
"Need help from our Zhuyue Clan?"
Mia was silent for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, regardless of the fact that there are many tribesmen who have experienced that period, they still resent the Cold Flame Kingdom in their hearts. Even if all the tribesmen agree, today's Zhuge Liang The Yue clan also has too much time to take care of itself."
"oh?"
After hearing Mia's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Just as I had thought before, judging from the fact that Mia became a mercenary and almost did anything for money, the Zhuyue clan had indeed encountered some difficulties.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately asked: "Mia, what happened to the Zhuyue clan?"
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, my tribe has been trapped in the mysterious blue space for more than three months."
Mia's eyebrows lowered and she sighed softly again: "I was lucky enough to escape because I went out to practice alone at the time and was not in the clan."
"Mysterious blue space?"
Hearing this unfamiliar vocabulary, Lei Xiao frowned slightly, took a sip of black tea, and asked, "Mia, please tell me more carefully."
"Back to Your Highness, everything starts when the Zhuyue clan was expelled from the Cold Flame Kingdom three hundred years ago."
Mia held the white porcelain teacup in her hand tightly and began to describe.
Through Mia's description, Lei Xiao learned.
Back then, after the Zhuyue clan was forced to leave the fiefdom between the northern border and the central area of Leng Yan.
Facing strong winds and blizzards, they headed north through the Baibu Mountains, and finally set firm foothold at the foot of a snow-capped mountain in an outer region.
Although it is located under the endless snow-capped mountains, due to the low altitude, the temperature is suitable and the jungle is dense everywhere.
In addition, there is ample water flowing down from the snow-capped mountains, and there are no powerful monsters or other races settling around. It is indeed a very good new home.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I was born under the snow-capped mountains. I grew up under the snow-capped mountains and developed extraordinary archery skills. I am also very good at illusions. I have been taught by the powerful illusionists in the clan. This I have just mastered the magic of illusion."
Mia's starry eyes were blurred, apparently lost in memories.
"In the more than a hundred years before I came to adulthood, everything was very peaceful."
"After decades of settling here, the tribesmen built a half-elf city and several half-elf villages in the vast forest. They worked hard every day to cultivate fields, raise frost sheep and other animals, and lived a self-sufficient life. A comfortable life.
"According to my aunt, although she has got rid of her identity as Grand Duke Leng Yan and is no longer loyal to the Leng Yan Kingdom, and her tribe is no longer protected by the Leng Yan royal family, it would be a good idea if she could live here stably. ending."
Hearing what Mia said, not only Lei Xiao, but also Alyssa, Xiaoya and Chaoyan beside him couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Mia's aunt was once the Grand Duke Leng Yan, so wouldn't she be the leader of the Zhuyue Clan?
"If I remember correctly, the last Grand Duke of the Zhuyue Clan was the half-elf Arrow God Chiduo, one of the Nine Dragon-Slaying Heroes. Mia, so your aunt is the Nine Dragon-Slaying Heroes who are famous throughout the human nations. one?"
Erza's long pointed ears moved, with a look of surprise on her face.
"That's right. It's a pity that my talent is mediocre. I only reached the fourth level seven-star level when I was almost 120 years old. My aunt had already reached the level of a fifth-level powerhouse at this age."
Mia shook her head helplessly and answered truthfully.
After hearing what the other party said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Qiduo is Wangyou's niece, and Mia is Qiduo's niece. Although it sounds a bit convoluted, it is extremely normal for Mia's appearance to be similar to Wangyou's.
"Mia, what happened next?"
Lei Xiao frowned and continued to ask.
"Back to Your Highness, later on, an extremely large gnoll tribe also moved to the foot of the snow-capped mountains. It is said that they moved because of the fierce fighting with the Pars Empire and in order to recuperate."
Mia put down the tea cup in her hand and responded: "As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so our Zhuyue clan will inevitably have friction with each other."
Through Mia's next description, Lei Xiao learned more.
The friction between the two sides lasted for more than ten years. Although there were victories and defeats, the jackals were cunning and violent by nature, and they reproduced extremely quickly. The population grew rapidly, leading to endless hunting and destruction of the environment.
In the end, the Zhuyue clan was forced to leave again.
After all, the normal life span of half-elves is 500 years, and the fifth-level powerhouse can reach 1,000 years. The reproduction rate is relatively limited.
The lifespan of jackals is only a few decades, and they can cultivate instinctively from birth. There are also many high-level experts, so the situation is self-evident.
"After leaving our new home where we had lived for nearly three hundred years, we continued northward along the snow-capped mountains, and finally unexpectedly found the ruins of a huge, mysterious city without an owner in the dense forest on the other side of the snow-capped mountains."
"Although this huge mysterious city is covered with moss and surrounded by vines, and has been abandoned for a long time, fortunately, the city walls are intact and most of the buildings in the city can be inhabited. This is undoubtedly a good choice for us who long for a new home. A dream come true!
There was a hint of excitement in Mia's voice as she continued to describe.
"After my aunt discussed with the elders, we settled down in this mysterious city and started building a new home."
"The city covers a large area and has complete infrastructure. There is also a magical river that circulates automatically in the city. The water source is extremely abundant. We can even cultivate fields and raise frost sheep directly in the city."
"Coupled with a lot of food that we have hoarded before, it is enough for our nearly 200,000 half-elves to live a rich and safe new life."
"But just when everything was getting back on track, this mysterious city suddenly and inexplicably disappeared."
As he spoke, Mia's voice dimmed.
"Because I was practicing alone outside the city at that time, I was lucky enough to escape. When I returned, the entire city had disappeared and disappeared into the forest out of thin air."
"In the empty and lonely forest, only the last magical communication left by my aunt was echoing repeatedly, saying that they and the entire city were trapped in a mysterious blue space, and asked me to go to the human countries to find help. , must be at least a fifth-level powerhouse of the magic or space system."
"After all, my aunt herself is a fifth-level peak person with monstrous strength. Many of the elders are also at the fourth-level peak level, but they still can't get out of trouble."
After hearing what Mia said, Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and already understood the general outline of the whole thing.
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Mia, is that why you became a mercenary? Do you want to earn more golden dragons and find help to go back and save your people?"
"That's right, Your Highness."
Mia nodded heavily, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her starry eyes.
"After arriving at the Kingdom of Grim, after a lot of inquiring, I learned that it takes a lot of golden dragons to hire a fifth-level strongman, but I have nothing, so I had to register as a mercenary. While inquiring about the information about the fifth-level powerhouse, Im also trying to figure out how to make money.
"But I have never been to the human realm before. I wasted a lot of time in the beginning and was often deceived..."
Looking at Mia's helpless expression, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a little moved.
No wonder Mia tried her best to disguise herself. She must have been frightened by the dangers of the human race.
It's no wonder that compared to the orderly and simple half-elf society with division of labor, the human race is indeed extremely difficult to adapt to.
"It is simply unimaginable how many sad events Mia has experienced in the past three months."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao gently patted the other party's slightly trembling shoulder, comforting him silently.
"Mia, then why don't you return to the Cold Flame Kingdom to seek help from the royal family?"
Erza sat next to the half-elf girl and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"When I came to the Lengyan Kingdom, the Lengyan Kingdom had already fallen into the quagmire of power disputes, and I was just a little mercenary, how could I be received by the royal family?"
Mia lowered her head, and her pointed ears drooped.
"After meeting Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince, UU Reading I feel extremely happy. I originally wanted to say this, but seeing that Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Prince are extremely busy, I just can't Now you know how to speak."
"After all, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Prince were working hard for the war before, and now the surrounding areas of the Leng Yan Kingdom are extremely unstable. A life-and-death war to destroy the country may break out at any time. How can they care about our team that has been expelled for a long time? abandoned clan."
At this point, Mia's eyes turned red and she was about to cry.
Although the food reserves in the tribe are large, they are only enough for 200,000 people to meet the most basic survival consumption for three months, and the plants they grow are ordinary plants that cannot grow in other spaces.
In other words, the situation within the clan is now precarious.
After listening to the half-elf girl's words, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded: "Mia, you are wrong. It is precisely because of this that I will help you regain this long-lost treasure for the Cold Flame Kingdom. Strength." (End of chapter)
