Chapter 609: Meeting Azir
According to information that Sivir had snooped in the tavern, a few hundred miles south of the city, Azir gathered a group of architects and brick-moving laborers, and ordered them to build an imperial city on top of the existing city as he wished.
Azir also summoned a number of desert wizards to speed up the construction of the city through magic, hoping to see a large imperial city in seven days.
Walking towards the small city that was expanding to the south, Ye Feng and the three of them listened carefully to the information that Sivir had spied. And after listening to Xiwei's words, Ye Feng had a question in his heart. That is, Azir now has a lot of troops under his command, how can the four of them meet Azir who is supported as emperor?
Sivir on the side looked at Ye Feng's frowning expression, she curled the corners of her mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Feng replied truthfully: "Your Azir ancestor is now the emperor, will his subordinates agree to us seeing him?"
So he was worried about this? Sivir pursed his lips and smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, as long as you tell the ancestor and his soldiers my name, I believe they will send us to meet the ancestor of Azir."
"That's it?"
Hearing Sivir's words, Ye Feng felt a little unconvinced. Azir's men had never seen Sivir, and those soldiers would take a few of them to the Emperor because a stranger had been named?
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't believe it, Xiwei said, "You'll know when the meeting arrives!"
"I believe Sister Sivir!"
"Amumu also believes!"
The two little guys, Lulu and Amumu, expressed their positions one after another, causing Xiwei Jiao to laugh a few times, and rubbed the little heads of the two little ones dotingly.
Glancing depressedly at the three people who had isolated him, although Ye Feng usually believed in Sivir's judgment, this time he still felt that Sivir might be deliberately teasing him.
Looking up ahead, an expanding city came into Ye Feng's sight. Outside the city, desert wizards in wizards' robes are casting their magic to build the bricks transported by coolies according to the blueprints given by the architect.
Compared to the speed of ordinary people, the magic of these desert wizards is expanding at a visible rate.
Sivir also saw this scene, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, sure enough, as long as there is the participation of the mage, everything will become much easier.
Within dozens of miles outside the expansion area, Ye Feng and the four of them were stopped by the patrolling soldiers. The leading soldier said in an indifferent tone: "This place is being expanded, outsiders are not welcome for the time being, and you can only enter it when the expansion is over!"
The soldier's slightly arrogant tone made Ye Feng a little unaccustomed to hearing it, and he just wanted to reason with the soldier for a few words when he was pressed by Sivir's shoulder.
Under his puzzled gaze, Sivir smiled and said to the leader of the soldiers, "We are not outsiders, we are here to visit Emperor Azir."
As soon as they heard that the four of them were here to visit Emperor Azil, the nerves of the few soldiers who stopped Ye Feng and the four of them instantly tensed. They pointed their spears and swords at the four of them as if they were facing a great enemy, and the leader rebuked: "Say, are you here to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor?"
Ye Feng was really taken aback by the actions of these soldiers, and the sword qi in his body surged, ready to make a move at any time.
And Sivir stretched out his hand again to signal him not to be nervous, and said to a few soldiers: "My name is Sivir, the direct bloodline of Your Majesty the Emperor, he should have mentioned me to you, right?"
Hearing Sivir announce her own name, several soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then, as if remembering something, they all looked at the soldiers who were taking the lead.
The soldier who took the lead immediately took out a sheepskin scroll from his coat pocket, looked at the person on it carefully, and then glanced at Sivir again.
After wandering back and forth for a while, his originally solemn expression slowly relaxed, and then a flattering smile was revealed. He said: "It turned out to be Princess Xivir, just now it was the negligence of her subordinates, who dared to question your identity, please don't forgive me."
Sivir smiled, indicating that she didn't care. And the leading soldier was relieved to see that she didn't care.
Ye Feng on the side stared at the soldier leader with completely different attitudes before and after, and was stunned for a while. If Lulu hadn't shaken his arm and asked him to fetch her water from her bag, he would have been stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
While listening to the conversation between Sivir and the soldier leader without a word, Ye Feng gave full play to his duties as a father, took out a water bag from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Lulu.
Seeing that the little Amumu came over pitifully, Ye Fengshun handed Amumu a full bag of water bags.
After some waiting, Xiwei, who had negotiated with the leader of the soldiers, turned around and said to Ye Feng and the others: "Okay, we can go to see the ancestor of Azir!"
As soon as Ye Feng heard that he could enter the city, he immediately retrieved the water bag from Lulu and Amumu, who wanted to drink a bag of water in one go, and then hugged one with Xiwei and walked towards the city accompanied by soldiers.
Along the way, Sivir would occasionally ask questions about Azir's army and the current situation in the Shurima Desert. She also indirectly learned that a large area of Shurima was now divided between Azir and Zelas.
However, when she heard the leading soldier say that this country would be her in the future, she smiled noncommittally and did not say anything.
Ye Feng was very idle, holding Lulu, he kept staring at a ladder to heaven in the southernmost part of the town that was being built by a desert wizard, full of curiosity.
Not far from the staircase to heaven is a complex of luxurious palaces that are also under construction.
Escorted by the soldiers, Ye Feng and the four of them walked into the palace complex, bypassed many palaces, and stopped at the gate of the palace specially used to discuss the government.
The leading soldiers entered the palace first and reported before they came out and motioned for Ye Feng and the four to enter.
Xiwei politely smiled at the soldiers who were escorting him, and walked into the main hall with Ye Feng and the three of them under the eyes of the soldiers.
Inside the main hall, the floor is supported by elaborate columns in the style of the ancient Shurima Empire, and in the depths of the hall are paved with gradually ascending steps, on which is an ornate emperor's seat. And Azir was standing with his hands behind his back, standing majestically in front of the throne, looking down at the four of Ye Feng.
Noticing that Azir today was different from the previous meeting, and thinking back to some of the things he had learned on the way here and the speculation in his heart, Sivir's originally smiling face gradually faded.
Leading Ye Feng and the three of them forward, Xiwei, who put away his smile, took a deep breath and forcibly pressed Ye Feng to kneel on the floor of the main hall under Ye Feng's strange gaze. And she also took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said, "Azr Ancestor!"
Hearing Sivir's respectful words, Azir, who had a majestic expression on his face, furrowed his brows and smiled with satisfaction.
"Sivir, my child, you're back."
