The next day, Ramona took the initiative to see Yuan Zhan and asked for a talk.
Ramona implicitly expressed that she only wanted to have a private interview with Yuan Zhan, and no one else could participate.
But when Ramona walked into the living room, she still found two people sitting in front of her.
Yan Mo smiled at Ramona, and then began to close his eyes and doze off... The bastard animal tormented him for most of the night last night, but he still didn't let him sleep in. He insisted on pulling him to meet the princess, who obviously didn't I just don't want to see him.
Ramona watched him close his eyes, only thinking that the mysterious silent witch was doing something mysterious, such as communicating with the gods, and after saluting Yan Mo, she dared not disturb him again.
After greeting each other briefly and taking their seats, Ramona restrained all her emotions, and said her intentions without any cover: "We Yincheng and Tucheng have roughly the same intentions for coming. I hope Jiuyuan can consider joining Yincheng, and I, Yincheng, will also Given the status of Zhongcheng, other conditions can be discussed in detail."
Yuan Zhan put his hands on the armrest of the chair, with a relaxed expression, "I remember that Yincheng is far away from Jiuyuan."
Ramona persuaded unhurriedly: "Compared with Tucheng, it is not far away. The barren land where your tribe is located is adjacent to Tucheng forces in the south and Huocheng forces in the north. The powers are connected, but sooner or later that piece of land will be extended by our two sides, if Jiuyuan is willing to join Yincheng, I can agree on behalf of Yincheng, and hand over the blank land that has not yet been occupied by the forces to you for development."
Yuan Zhan sneered. Although they have not expanded their influence to the east of the Hessen Plain, Yan Mo has already walked with him, and he has a good understanding of the terrain there. There are so many monsters and savages living in the mountains, I think it's not that the forces of Sound City don't want to occupy it, but they are unable to occupy it, right?"
"Does Jiuyuan want that piece of land?" Ramona hit the nail on the head.
Where can Yuan Zhan be caught by this point, "If I want to take any piece of land, I will naturally take it myself, and no one will send it to me, especially since it is a land without an owner. If Yincheng is really sincere, then Take the manufacturing method of the sound wave pool and the sound wave cannon."
Ramona also laughed, "Okay, as long as you are willing to be my husband."
After Ramona finished speaking, she took a special look at the young priest, but that eyelid didn't move.
Yuan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Why, His Royal Highness Ramona is also going to marry Jiuyuan?"
Ramona withdrew her gaze, "No, you are the leader of the war who came to Yincheng to be my husband. If this is the case, Jiuyuan and Yincheng are one family. I think my temple will also agree to add a sound wave pool and a sound wave cannon to Jiuyuan."
"Do you want to be a queen?" Yuan Zhan had a little appreciation for Ramona. The status of women in this world is relatively low because of the force value, but everyone has not completely regarded women as husbands and children. This can be seen from the fact that the powers of the cities allow their daughters to have the same inheritance rights, and the temples also have priestesses.
Ramona asked back, "You think I can't?"
Yuan Zhanlang smiled, "Of course not, to be honest, I think you are more suitable to be the Lord of Sound City than your brothers."
"Then, is Chief Zhan interested in being the wife of the Queen of Shangcheng?" Ramona paused and said with emphasis: "As long as I have it, you will have it. If you want to expand your power, the entire Sound City will be yours." And strong backing."
Yan Mo sleeps as soon as he says he wants to sleep. His current cultivation of soul power has reached the level where he can not be disturbed by the outside world if he doesn't want to be disturbed by the outside world. Sleepy very relieved.
As soon as Yuan Zhan heard the breathing of the person around him, he knew that the other person was really asleep. Amused, he naturally stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, and the armrest between the two chairs disappeared silently.
Yuan Zhan did it naturally, but the corners of Ramona's eyes twitched slightly. Was he telling her with actions that he was not interested in being her husband
Ramona didn't want to humiliate herself, so she voluntarily gave up the topic immediately, and said: "Whether you want to be my husband or not, if Jiuyuan joins Yincheng, Yincheng will definitely treat Jiuyuan badly."
"What if I don't want to?" Yuan Zhan said casually.
Ramona didn't answer directly, "I don't know if the leader of the war knows about the ten-year reunion in the Nine Uptowns?"
"I heard something from the witch."
"Then I don't know if Mr. Curse Wu told you that every time the Nine Great Upper City gathers, there will be a... transaction between the subordinate forces and the new forces?"
Yuan Zhan signaled the other party to clarify with his eyes.
With the presence of the witch, Ramona did not dare to make up things, and said truthfully: "Every ten years of gatherings, the nine upper cities will show their strength. Except for the witch city, which is not interested in expanding its power, the other eight upper cities are actually There is a difference between strong and weak, the strong can get more territory, more population, and various benefits in trading, and the weak do the opposite."
Yuan Zhan pinched the priest, Yan Mo reluctantly opened his eyes.
"Please continue." Yuan Zhan smiled.
Ramona didn't know what the witch said, so she could only think about it: "There are also rankings among the nine upper cities, and the rankings are naturally based on their respective strengths, and the best way to show your strength is to compete, compete It is divided into four categories, namely the battle between the blood warriors, the weapon competition, the medicine refining competition and the priest strength competition. Because Wucheng did not participate in the ranking, the first place was vacated. Ten years ago, the strength dropped to the first place. The five-ranked Tucheng suddenly fell to the sixth place, losing a middle city and all the power and land under the middle city."
"So Tucheng would rather condescend to say that he wants to end the enmity and make friends with Jiuyuan?" Yan Mo finally understood what he couldn't understand before.
Tucheng probably wants Yuan Zhan to take part in the competition instead of their blood warriors? No wonder they would have some sort of temple warrior selection five years ago, probably at that time they started preparing for the once-in-a-decade gathering.
Ramona heard the irony in Mo Wu's words, and kept silent.
Yuan Zhan asked Ramona with a smile: "There should be a lot of masters in Sound City, right? Don't you guys need me to participate in the competition just like Tucheng?"
Ramona's answer was beyond the two's expectations, and she also smiled, "No, I didn't know your strength against Zhan Boss before I came, of course, if Zhan Boss is willing to join Yincheng and pass the internal competition in Yincheng It is best to strive for a further ranking for Yincheng. Apart from inviting Jiuyuan to join Yincheng, my other purpose is actually to be entrusted by the high priest of Yincheng, and I want to trade a few cards with Lord Mo Wu of your tribe. Intermediate and advanced prescriptions for refining medicine."
Yan Mozhen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the soul power enhancing medicine formula that he had left to Anemarrhena through Yuan Zhan. He thought that it might not be that there is no better formula in Sound City, but in order to be safe, he might want to collect as many as possible.
Yuan Zhan, "His Royal Highness Ramona, that is to say, you have three purposes for coming this time. First, you want Jiuyuan to join Yincheng; second, you want me to be your royal husband; Prescription. Is that so?"
Ramona also has another purpose. Five years ago, she was tempted to learn from the mysterious silent witch. Although this impulse has basically disappeared now, the longing for silent witch is still there. Originally, she wanted to get closer , it would be best if she could get advice on soul power, but now the old Mo Wu has become a teenager, and the teenager is still in a lover relationship with Zhan Boss, which made her desire to ask for advice completely disappear.
Of course, she would not say what was in her heart. When Yuan Zhan asked her, she nodded with a smile and said, "You don't have to worry about the second purpose. My point is that I hope Jiuyuan will join Yincheng."
Yuan Zhan, "Then my question is still that one, what if we don't want to join any faction?"
Ramona lightly opened her lips: "The new forces that do not belong to any force will become the targets of the Jiucheng. The stronger and richer the more attention will be paid. At that time, once Jiuyuan is assigned to any force, even if Jiuyuan is not It's useless to admit it, because you will face not just one upper city force, but nine!"
Regarding Yincheng, Yuan Zhan also did not give a clear reply, only saying that he needs to think about it for a few days. He wants to wait for the witch to come back, and ask what happened to the gathering in the upper city of the Nine Greats and the impact on Jiuyuan. La Moring knew a little, but not much.
Counting the days, the witch should be back soon.
Two days later, Yuan Zhan invited the envoys of Yincheng and Tucheng to participate in the Qiyao Festival, the biggest summer festival in Jiuyuan.
The Qiyao Festival came from the Jiuyuan Warrior Wife Selection Conference five years ago. Although that conference was held casually and a bit compulsive, it happened that the conference formed the most couples, which led to Jiuyuan welcoming the next year. The biggest birth wave since the establishment of the tribe came.
Although it had a not-so-good beginning, but because there were too many couples that time, and it happened to be the seventh day of the seventh month according to the astronomical calendar, after offering sacrifices to the ancestor gods, the priest said that the father and mother gods gave blessings, From then on, every July 7th in Jiuyuan is a day for unmarried men and women to express their hearts to each other.
"If it's rainy or cloudy that day, it's the blessing from the Mother God. If it's sunny, it's the blessing from the Father God. Seven represents July, and Yao represents sunshine and happiness, so it's called Qiyao Festival." Wu Chen Introduce the origin of the festival to the envoys of the two cities.
On this day, the Jiuyuan people on the road were all smiling, and everyone ran to the outer city square, where a bonfire would be lit from the evening until the next morning. Every unmarried man and woman can participate, and more people are To see the excitement.
There are special managers there to match unmarried men and women who want to get married that day. Both men and women have a platform where they can go up and express themselves. Those who are fancy can present flowers to him or her. , will receive that person's flowers.
Some people are shy, so it's up to their friends or family to help them out, and a lot of jokes are made about it.
However, the Dona tribe, who were originally rejected by others, are famous for their loving wives, are good at hunting, and have strong military strength. Now they have become the most popular partners. Jiuyuan rules monogamy, but Dona is a special case. After the leader With the permission of the priest, he respected the traditions of the clan.
Because of the special situation of the Dona tribe, some people who did not give up even proposed that since Dona can be monogamous, other people can also be monogamous.
When Ramona heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "How did the leader of the war and Master Mo Wu answer?"
Wu Chen chuckled, "My lord priest heard this, and said a word, he said: OK, as long as your wife is the same as the Dona tribe, not only born of a compatriot, but also one person and one beast, then that's fine."
Ramona chuckled, she liked the atmosphere of the Qiyao Festival very much, and thought that Sound City could do the same.
Princess Miaoxiang peeked at Yuan Zhan, thinking about whether she should take advantage of Jiuyuan's special festival to be bold. For the past two days, she has always wanted to see Yuan Zhan, but even if she did, she couldn't find a chance to get close to him.
She Dan silently observed the Jiuyuan people, and he was very disapproving of the fact that Jiuyuan had no slaves.
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo didn't want to accompany the guests, but their status made it impossible for them to refuse this kind of official business. Fortunately, Wu Chen and Ye Xing were quick-witted and took over all the matters of introducing and enlivening the atmosphere.
"Hey—" Yingzhao's voice came from the sky.
Yan Mo felt something and looked up at the sky.
Na Yingzhao came down to them, "Xiao Mo, I'm back, your master! See what good things I brought you!"
"Master!" Yan Mo laughed.
As soon as Yingzhao landed, before the curse witch came down, he suddenly said in a strange voice: "Oh, isn't this so-and-so in Tucheng, why did you run away from our Jiuyuan? Ah Zhan, why didn't you kill them?"
People from Tucheng, "..."
Yan Mo laughed, "Master, I haven't told you yet, but the envoy from Rentucheng said that as long as we, Jiuyuan, are willing to join their Tucheng, not only will all our previous enemies be wiped out, but we will also be given the title of Zhongcheng immediately! "
Yuan Zhan added: "It is said that if we don't join a certain force, our Jiuyuan will be besieged by the nine upper cities together."
"Fart!" The curse witch turned over from Yingzhao, and cursed extremely disdainfully: "Don't be fooled by them, why should we, Da Jiuyuan, join their bullshit forces, we won't go to the upper city to play by ourselves."
Yan Mo raised his hands in agreement: "Master is mighty!"
Yuan Zhan was curious, "How to get it?"
The curse witch waved his hand, "Come with me, let Master and I have a good talk with you, so that you two boys will not be deceived!"
Shedan and Ramona were about to come over to salute, but they were stared at by the curse witch, and they all stood still and did not dare to take a step closer.
The curse witch cursed in a low voice: "How dare you lie to my good apprentice while I'm not here, hehe! Fortunately, I came back early."
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan looked at each other, it seemed that there was something else behind the ten-year reunion in the Nine Universities.
