LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 19 Josh: I act aboveboard and aboveboard (please read on~)

"In the name of the king of Kamavia, the man with the soul of Mu Qing, and the name of Vyego Santiarul Morah of Kara Hegayari, I have come to your city here, and I hope to bless you. "

……

"Kamavians, the council does not accept bribes or threats of any kind!"

……

"Parliament has understood your request, we will temporarily adjourn and discuss carefully."

……

"After we make a decision, we will summon it."

……

The scene of the conversation with the master and the elders in the council hall of the Shining Light Tower in the early morning is still vivid in my memory.

After talking with Josh, Kalista, who tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, already felt very exhausted.

Even if she pleaded with all sincerity and with the life of a dying man, Parliament would still spend time debating whether such an approach was appropriate.

Obviously having the ability to save lives and heal the wounded doesn't need to be considered!
What's more, I have already made a promise to form an alliance, and Heliya can make a price, and choose the magic artifacts in the Kamavia treasury at will, as well as the classics stored in the library.

However, these were all rejected by them "righteously".

After wandering aimlessly for several hours, Kalista finally sat on a marble bench in the plaza, looking at the hurrying scholars, and sighed slowly.

She wanted to relax in the city, but wherever she went, the guards on guard would stop her.

In the huge Hylia, Kalista can't go anywhere except her own residence.

Kamavia's court bureaucratic struggle is exhausting enough, but Kalista did not expect that the monopoly of power and tactics on Blessed Island is even more serious.

The city is not at all as perfect as it appears on the surface, nor is it as enlightened as Tyrus describes it.

The superiors of the Shuoguang Pagoda hate outsiders entering Blessed Island, and at the same time hope that this island will always be hidden in myths and legends and layers of white mist.

Although Tyrus came to comfort him in the morning, he used the excuse that the Kamavians extorted money and behaved surlyly.

Even if he admits that Shiguang Tower's actions are sometimes unacceptable, Tyrus' consolation still doesn't have much effect on Kalista.

The return date had to be delayed again. Judging from the state of the queen when she went to sea, she could not hold on for much time.

Kalista looked away from the city and looked into the distance in a melancholy mood. What she could see was not the sea level where the eternal sea meets the sky, but a thick fog like a city wall fortress.

Josh Russell, he said that I would bring back the news of the water of life, but I discovered the legendary Blessed Island, will those masters really let me go?
Just as Kalista was immersed in her own wild thoughts, a familiar figure approached her.

Kalista paid no attention to the visitor until he spoke, "The Council has let you down, hasn't it?"

"Russell?"

Callista turned her head in surprise, and saw Josh wearing colorful and gorgeous clothes inside, but covered by the outer gray robe.

He wears the gray hood of his robes, his angular face hidden in shadows.

"Just call me Josh."

Josh sat down next to Kalista in a graceful manner, with a faint smile on his face.

But for some reason, Kalista always had the illusion that he was avoiding something.

On the eve of dawn, Josh parted ways with Ari, and it was early morning when he returned to his mansion alone.

Quickly washing away the tiredness and sweat-soaked filth after a hasty trip, Josh didn't have time to review the magic, and spent time discussing "The Chosen One" with Lunicia.

Until the servants came to clean the house and brought today's food, Josh chatted and asked where he once lived in the city, and then ordered them to bring him some books about vastaya and Vasani tomorrow.

When they left, Josh simply padded his stomach, and then without stopping, put on the gray robe that he wore after crossing over his clothes, and turned back to Hailiya.

Thanks to the elders and masters of the Shuoguang Pagoda living a pampered life all year round, they turned a blind eye to the potential "crisis" in front of them.

Not only did they not arrange anyone to monitor Josh, they didn't even inform the guards in the city about Josh and the Darkborn weapons.

Since Blessed Isle is surrounded by holy mist, outsiders cannot set foot in this paradise without the magic "road stone" carried by the explorers to break through the fog.

The guards in the city are basically set up to prevent civilians or some unqualified scholars from entering important places. There is no saying that anyone who is acting suspiciously will step forward to interrogate and arrest.

In addition, Ari did not find any trace of the two golem puppets in the forest last night.

Since last night's trip was safe and sound, it is enough to show that they were not aimed at Josh, and a heavy stone suspended in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Because he didn't have a map at hand, in order to get familiar with the topography of the city, Josh avoided the area of ​​the Shining Light Tower, wandered around the city openly, and at the same time appreciated the almost indifferent customs of Hailiya people.

After finding his former residence, Josh tried his best not to disturb the servants or Tyrus who might know him, and kept wandering around the perimeter of the building, trying to meet Ryze who went out at an unknown time.

Kalista's problem is solved, and the next step is Thresh, the traitor of Blessed Island.

However, it was past noon, and Josh didn't wait for his rude and reckless junior, but met Kalista, who was alone in the square and looked very disappointed.

As soon as she saw Josh, Kalista flashed back the scene of the conversation last night, her bad mood became heavier, and she frowned unfriendlyly and asked, "What do you want to do again? Come and see my joke?"

Josh kept a polite smile without losing his demeanor, "No, I just happened to meet you."

Callista looked sideways at Josh, who was one person away from her, trying to see something from his face.

It's a pity, just like Lunisia commented that she couldn't see through Josh.

Except for the occasional stunned look, Kalista couldn't read what he was thinking through his expression at all.

[I don't understand, why are you so absolutely calm? 】

Josh replied spiritually: "Didn't we discuss this topic this morning?"

【You've been avoiding my questions this morning—damn it, you brat blocked me again! 】

Ignoring Lunicia's yelling, Josh and Kalista looked at each other, and picked up a topic at random: "This return flight, you should respond to the feelings Ledros expressed to you, otherwise..."

Before Josh finished speaking, Kalista's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly interrupted: "Please be careful! My fiancé is Lord Hecarim, Ledros...he is just my most trusted servant Lieutenant General, before I went to sea to search for Blessed Island, he was appointed by the king as the imperial bodyguard and no longer serves me."

Even though she said so, the cold sweat oozing from Kalista's forehead and her beating heart showed that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.

How the hell does this guy even know that Ledros sneaked into my room to express his affections!
Although she was still complaining about Soraka's "Riddler" behavior yesterday, but now, Kalista hates the feeling that everything she wants to hide has nowhere to hide.

"The fiancé... is Hecarim?"

Josh stared at Kalista's face in a daze for a moment, and suddenly realized.

In order to stabilize Viego's royal power, the royal princess and the kingdom command military power, and the marriage of the most powerful is indeed the best choice.

Gathering his thoughts for a while, Josh continued to maintain his "chosen man" personality, and said bluntly: "Are you so willing to sacrifice yourself? You know, Hecarim's method of becoming the leader of the Iron Legion is disgraceful, and he Its ambitions are far from that."

Callista pursed her lips and remained silent, making no reply.

Ledros had brought up the subject that night too, but she hadn't paid attention to it then.

I know Ledros, he is my subordinate, it is impossible for him to know Josh, and he is loyal to the Hegayari royal family.

It seems that Hecarim does have a problem...

Callista took a deep breath, conflicted.

She wanted to continue to ask Josh about Kamavia, but she hated talking to him. This feeling of being seen through really made her uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I'm tired." After thinking twice, Kalista dropped a sentence out of courtesy, got up and left.

Josh did not prevent Kalista from leaving, and his goal today was not her.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that two scholars who were more than a dozen steps away were pointing here without any scruples. They seemed to be discussing the princess of Kamavia, and they seemed to recognize Josh's identity.

Subconsciously pulled down the edge of the gray hood, just as Josh was planning to be conservative and went back to his mansion to avoid the limelight, a petite woman with dark complexion hurried past him.

After running a few steps away, she suddenly turned backwards, bent her knees in front of Josh, and tilted her head to take a quick look at his face.

"Eh? Wait—you are?!"

Josh, who was really recognized this time, raised his head and stared, but what surprised him first was the woman's attire.

"I'm cooking, Guangming Biscuits?!"
