It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 465: Reunited with a Close Friend
"Rovy?"

Hearing the voice, Luo Wei and Luo Fuli turned their heads. When they saw who was standing there, Luo Wei's eyes froze.

He looked at the man standing in the open space on the stone road in surprise, as if he could not hear even the sounds around him.

The other person walked towards him, with no trace of confusion in his bright eyes, just like the afternoon when he left the village to go on an adventure.

"Ryan?" Luo Wei called out the name in disbelief.

Ryan stood in front of him and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. The two of them looked at each other as they walked up and down the stairs. Loveli on the side was completely ignored.

"Have you grown taller?" Luo Wei frowned and looked at the other person.

"You are," Ryan stared at him intently, "You must be several levels stronger than before. You even seem to have a stronger physique."

The two looked at each other, and suddenly they both burst into laughter, stretched out their arms and hugged each other tightly.

It's been a while since we last met.

Looking at these two grown men hugging each other in the street and showing no intention of separating, Lovely frowned, and the two people following Ryan also walked up a little helplessly.

It was only at this time that Luo Wei had time to pay attention to the other people. The one following behind Ryan was the "Son of Lapis Lazuli" Shug Yelka, who had left the Crownless City together. The other person was a woman with long rose-red hair. She had a rose-shaped sword on her waist, and the hilt was decorated with thorns.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Rowe." Ryan said with emotion.

"Yeah..." Luo Wei patted his back vigorously. He didn't expect Ryan to appear here. "Isn't there still a war in Valais Mountain? Why did you come to the Lion Garden Capital?"

"Speaking of this," Ryan slowly closed his eyes. After letting go of Luo Wei, he noticed the Fifth Princess standing there and quickly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Fifth Princess, I..."

"No problem."

Lovelli waved her hand, knowing that the two of them were close friends and had no interest in friendship between men.

"You guys showed up in the capital at this time, aren't you here for the Blue Elite Tournament?"

"About this matter--" Ryan first glanced at Lowe, then looked at the woman behind him. As if receiving a message, the woman knelt on one knee and performed a knight's salute in front of Loveli.

"I am Talia Thorne of the Rose Territory of the Valais Mountain United States," the young woman with unique hair color lowered her head and said, "I know my country is at war with the Lion Court, but could you please listen to my wish?"

Seeing Luo Wei pulling his long-lost best friend aside and completely ignoring her, Luo Fuli nodded helplessly.

"Go in and talk."

……

In the Royal Athletic Villa, Lovely found an unused reception room and asked the servants to bring afternoon tea.

After listening to Talia's narration, Lovely picked up the milk and frowned slightly.

"You mean, Valais Mountain originally planned to declare war on Lion Court?"

"Yes."

Talia sat upright on the sofa, her expression looking unusually solemn as she admitted this.

"We went through a lot of trouble to find out the truth about this matter," said the Lapis Lazuli Saint, Xuger, who was standing by. "If we hadn't paid a heavy price, it would have been impossible to get her to admit such a thing."

After that, a few of them followed in. Luo Wei and Ryan stood on either side of the sofa, folding their arms and thinking about this matter.

"Wait," Lovely put down the milk and looked at Talia, "You just said that not all lords have this idea, right? Although I have never been to Mount Valais, I am familiar with your system. Declaring war requires the consent of all lords, right?"

"Yes," Talia clenched her hands on the edge of her knees, "So they plan to eliminate the uncooperative lords once and for all, and then invade the Lion Garden directly from the Blue Ridge."

what?
This statement made Loveley feel even more uncomfortable.

"First attack the leader and then immediately attack the Lion Garden?" She crossed her arms in confusion, "Aren't they afraid that the remaining forces will cause a fire in their backyard? I doubt whether they have the strength to do so."

"You're right. I didn't want to believe it at first," Talia said with a frown, "but the only thing I know is that after the Prime Minister of the Lion Court and Marshal Hooffire started the war, before we had time to prepare, Randall took "something" from those lords."

"What do you mean by 'what'?"

"I'm afraid that only the prime minister knows about this matter," Ryan said solemnly while standing there, "We haven't found any survivors who know the inside story of this matter."

"That is to say, Valaissan had some power that could fill the gap in combat power between the two countries, but before he could use it, Randall got there first and snatched it away."

Looking at Ryan and Talia's reactions, Rowe knew he was right.

Old fox.

This is something the other party could do. Not long after the incident in Crownless City was resolved, he was defeated by Valais Mountain. He is really a monster in every sense of the word.

"You mean, this power is now controlled by Randall?!" Lovely felt that things were getting worse.

What kind of power could make the lords of Valais Mountain so confident that they could bridge the gap between the two countries? Now that this power has fallen into that person's hands, isn't it even worse? !
"I think we could ask the people from the Principality of Aselant about this matter." Luo Wei raised his hand and gave a suggestion.

"Huh?" Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. Lovely said, "What does this have to do with the Principality of Acelant? Apart from the fact that both were invaded by that person without declaring war, what else do they have in common... Wait, you're not saying that the Prime Minister also took something from the Principality of Acelant, are you?"

"How do you know if you don't ask?" Luo Wei said lightly, "That person didn't just choose a random place to invade."

The only thing he knew was that Randall had chosen the same strategic location as in the previous round, which was an objective fact. In fact, compared to these two countries, Lion Garden was not without more worthy areas, such as the "Ghost Hand" mercenary group that was hired by the nobles to guard the orc slaves. The neutral mercenary area where they came from was completely lawless, and it was not uncommon for them to harass the border of Lion Garden and massacre villages.

So it is not impossible that Randall specifically attacked these two places because he wanted to get something.

"I've never connected these two things before," Ryan looked at him with shining eyes, "You're worthy of me, Luo Wei!"

Talia was also a little stunned for a moment. She had been fighting bravely in the country, so she had never considered that she could look at the whole thing from the outside. Although she often heard Ryan say his name, she dared not believe it until she saw him today. This person could really grasp the key to the matter with just a few words. It was incredible.

This made her unable to look away for a long time. If she could ask him for help, then her wish to restore her country might also be fulfilled...

"Cough cough..."

Noticing that the other party was almost staring at the trash, Lovell coughed twice.

"S-Sorry!" Talia quickly reacted and apologized to Rowe and Lovely, "I just often heard Ryan mention you. He always said that if you were here, the difficulties could be easily solved, so I thought about some things I shouldn't have thought about. You must have something important to do in the capital, right?"

Lovell narrowed her eyes resentfully.

Why is there another person poaching people? Is this guy so popular?
Luo Wei looked at Ryan helplessly, and the latter smiled brightly and did not deny it.

"So, what do you want to do?" Luo Wei looked at Talia. He had met her several times in the last round, so he recognized this girl with light freckles on her face at first sight.

"Now that the lords who advocated war have been purged, the arrogance of Valais Mountain has also received the punishment it deserves," Talia lowered her head and said, "But the people living in Valais Mountain are innocent. Now that the war has reached this point, Lion Court and Hooffire have not made any bigger moves, so I think... I..."

It was clearly a strong desire, but at this moment she couldn't say it out loud.

Can such a wish really come true?
Ryan placed his hand on her shoulder armor from behind and said, "We have been through a lot along the way and have seen a lot of cruel truths. If this is your true wish, don't hesitate to speak it out."

Ryan's encouragement seemed to give her motivation. Talia raised her head and looked at Lovely with burning eyes.

"I want to restore the Valais Mountains!!!"

Her tone was so determined, and just by looking at her eyes, one could feel how difficult the journey had been for her, and how many days and nights she had spent in the cracks.

Facing this look, Lovely thought for a moment.

Then she closed her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you."

The war between the two countries and the restoration of the country are not the affairs of a princess who is still trying to seize power. Although there are still people like her struggling in Mount Valais, the capital has been occupied from the very beginning, and there is little ground left for the resistance forces. So many months have passed, and Mount Valais has long been in name only. Unless Randall and the Hooffire Empire both give in, there will be no chance of restoring the country.

There have been no major moves recently, simply because the land has long been divided up and the resistance forces can no longer cause any trouble.

"Your Highness the Fifth Princess, please reconsider it!" After saying this, Talia didn't want to give up.

Luo Wei guessed it.

He had also paid attention to the situation over there. The territory of Talia's family had been lost from the beginning. They were displaced along the way and met Ryan and Shuger. They had to travel around looking for opportunities. Although they had gathered a lot of strength, it was already a great achievement not to be swallowed by the two giant beasts, Lion Garden and Hooffire.

I am afraid that in every frontal battle, they will have to face regular troops with far better equipment and several times more numbers than their own.

"She doesn't want you to send troops to help," said Shuger, "but she wants you to give her the qualification to participate in the Blue Elite Tournament."

"The Blue Elite Competition?" Lovely looked at them in confusion, "What does this have to do with the restoration of Valais Mountain?"

This was also the reason why Luo Wei was surprised that Ryan appeared in the Lion Garden Capital. After losing to him in the elite competition in Baigang Town, Ryan was not qualified to continue to participate in the Blue Elite Competition.

I have come all this way, and there is really nothing more I can do except going to Valais Mountain. I would not be idle for no reason.

Talia glanced at Ryan hesitantly.

"Actually... I want to let people see my determination to restore my country through the elite competition," she said.

"Ah?" Luo Fuli leaned back and looked at them. This idea was a bit too far-fetched.

Would proving her determination restore the country of Valais? Yes, she admitted that the other party's will was very contagious, but it was a bit too much to expect the two major powers to withdraw their troops just based on this...

Thalia seemed to find this whimsical as well, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

"I……"

"It's not impossible." Luo Wei suddenly closed his eyes and said.

Luo Fuli turned to him suspiciously. Are you crazy? Have you been assimilated by them? How dare you agree to such a naive idea?

Luo Wei shook his head and did not respond to her gaze. This was indeed a very imaginative idea. Anyone else would think it was stupid.

But if I guessed correctly.

This must have been Ryan's idea.

As the protagonist, this guy has a strong appeal. He is the kind of person who will carry out his beliefs to the end and persevere. Otherwise, how could he unite the lords of so many forces in Wuguan City and make them put aside their differences and stand on the same front? To a certain extent, there is nothing he cannot do as long as he wants to do it, no matter how difficult it is to explain to ordinary people.

And he wasn't trying to infect that old monster of Randall and make him cry over his sins.

As long as he can infect most of the people with the right to speak in the arena and make them think that it is a mistake for Lion Court to occupy Valais Mountain until now, since Randall has already got what he wanted, whether to continue to occupy Valais Mountain is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons, and there is room for turning around.

This time, Talia stared at him for a long time.

In fact, she was still hesitant in her heart, but she didn't expect that Luo Wei also thought this was feasible. This undoubtedly surprised her, but she seemed to have really seen a glimmer of hope.

She seemed to really understand why Ryan was always thinking about him.

"Let me make it clear in advance that I didn't agree to this because of my relationship with Ryan," Luo Wei glanced at Ryan, who had a tacit understanding with him, and then looked at Talia again, "And there is actually someone who can help you with this matter right now."

"Who is it?" Talia stared at him with her mouth open, afraid that she would miss the news if she blinked.

Luo Wei turned his head to look at the door of the reception room and said a name:
"The second prince of the Hooffire Empire, Kidd."

"???"

Lovely looked at him in confusion. You and that guy have known each other for less than an hour? You haven't even said a word to each other?!
Luo Wei smiled and turned to her, "Like I told you, that guy has a good personality."
