Chapter 585 The Legend of the Wise King and His Beloved Horse
Half an hour later.
"Is this the legendary king?"
"Why does it feel like I have a piece of broccoli on my head?!"
"It does seem to match the descriptions in the books, but why does it still feel a bit off?"
When Qingyu and Zhulan gathered the villagers, those who had come specifically to pay homage to the sage king were visibly disappointed.
Because what they saw was not a wise king, but a dull-eyed radish—
Does he look a little dim-witted?
Even the village chief who had just greeted the two felt a bit incredulous after observing them carefully for a while.
"That's right, it matches the surviving portraits perfectly!"
"Although the two magnificent horses that symbolize royalty were not present—"
"But he was indeed the wise king recorded by our ancestors."
"I never imagined that the legendary wise king had been wandering the Crown Snowfield all this time?"
Qingyu and Zhulan stood to the side, each holding a handwritten book that looked quite old, glancing occasionally at the still bewildered king in the field.
There are quite a few legends about it, the most famous of which are the two well-known stories about Galar.
It is related to its two beloved horses and five giants respectively.
Legend has it that when the Raicron King established the earliest Galar kingdom, he single-handedly defeated and tamed two wild horses that plagued humanity, thus making the Spirithorn and the Snowstorm Horse symbols of his identity.
In expanding its kingdom, it also defeated five giants who tried to stop it and sealed them in five corners of the Crown Snowfield.
The giants referred to are not the legendary giant Regigigas, but rather his five creations.
Commonly known as the Five Gods Pillars.
It is here that players will encounter two new Divine Pillars for the first time.
Electric Pillar Regigi Elech and Dragon Pillar Regigi Dorago.
The fact that the wise king could defeat the creation of the Toilet King is enough to prove his great power.
It looks completely different from what it is now.
Qingyu glanced at the contents of the book in her hand, then looked at the dazed King Lei Guan.
To be honest, if he hadn't known the plot, he probably wouldn't have believed that this guy was actually the legendary wise king.
So it's no wonder the other villagers seemed a bit incredulous.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
The reason why the Raicrown King lost its power was because it had long been forgotten by the people of Galar, and without faith, it could no longer maintain its full power.
To restore the "royal majesty," the first step is to restore the people of Galar's faith in the king.
"Since he's that wise king, he should at least possess the power to make the land fertile. Why not give him a demonstration and see if he's the real deal?"
Someone in the crowd muttered something under their breath, only to be immediately glared at by the village chief standing at the front.
"That's incredibly rude!"
"We are the descendants of the people born under the protection of the wise king; we must never be disrespectful to the ancient ruler!"
Qingyu silently observed the villagers' expressions but chose not to interrupt.
The old village chief spoke like a loyal subject, but he didn't seem to really believe that this down-on-his-luck wanderer was the king they had revered for generations.
It's just human nature, I guess.
After all, their village's faith is probably to pass on the legend of the Crown Snowfield and wait for the vanished king to return one day and lead his loyal people to a better life.
But this fantasy is now being shattered by reality.
Does the Crane King have this ability?
That's really difficult!
Therefore, the source of the Lareath King's power restoration was directly blocked.
If it wants to regain the power and memories of its past peak, it needs more and more devout faith.
But given its current appearance, how many people are willing to believe that it is the legendary wise king and sincerely worship and admire it?
It's a vicious cycle.
Are they referring to me as the wise king they speak of?
As Qingyu sighed inwardly, the thoughts of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown arrived first.
Turning its head, it still looked confused and helpless, but it seemed to have remembered something.
[Making the land fertile—the power of abundance?]
Was that the power I once possessed?
Believers, please tell me the truth.
After listening, Qingyu nodded, which was considered to have given the Brilliant King the answer it wanted.
【Yeah----?】
The Crowned King remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked down at the snow-covered ground at his feet.
For some reason, a hint of nostalgia seemed to appear in its eyes.
【I see----】
No wonder that even though I've lost all my memories of the past, I still instinctively feel joy when I stand on this ground.
It was as if the earth itself was cheering and rejoicing at my arrival.
The Crowned King closed its eyes, seemingly trying to feel the sounds emanating from the earth.
A moment later, when it opened its eyes again, its previously dim and confused gaze gradually became firm.
Suddenly, the Crowned King raised its hand, maintaining its bowed posture while stretching its short arm as far as it could, until it finally touched the ley lines that were waiting for its return after passing through a layer of snow.
As it moved, an inconspicuous blue light suddenly emerged from the ground.
If the Criveor's feet weren't on a snowy field, it might not have noticed these tiny specks of light at all.
"This is----"
Zhu Lan blinked, as if she had realized something.
Is this how the power of abundance of the Lacecrown King awakened?
Qingyu was also amazed, and just watched quietly as it completed its performance.
The villagers who had been whispering earlier fell silent, and all eyes were now on the king who was reconnecting with the earth.
If the Crowned King can perform abundant miracles before the villagers, he may truly regain their faith.
As time passed, the previously dim light on the land gradually began to shine.
Thanks to the power of abundance, the thick layer of snow that had accumulated on the fields had long since melted and seeped into the revitalized soil.
Just then, a miracle occurred: despite not having sown any seeds, several green shoots suddenly sprouted from the barren land.
Their vigorous vitality allows them to grow rapidly at a visible speed, quickly passing through the budding stage and sprouting tender new leaves that herald a bountiful harvest.
"miracle!"
"This is a miracle that only the King of Abundance could accomplish!"
"Our king has indeed not abandoned us!!!"
Only then did the villagers finally believe the true identity of this "big turnip," and they all knelt down to celebrate the return of the wise king.
Their actions, however, left the previously calm and composed King Rachel somewhat bewildered.
"Isn't this great? The wish they inherited from their ancestors has finally been fulfilled, and you can regain the faith of humanity because of it."
Qingyu stepped forward and whispered to the Queen of the Brilliant Crown.
"Just like I said before."
"If you want to reclaim your past memories, then let people realize that perhaps you never really left them."
The Queen of the Lace Crown looked up and met his gaze for a moment. Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, she nodded.
【I—I understand.】
I could definitely feel it—after they showed their loyalty to me, a new strength suddenly surged through my body.
Along with the power, there were also some fragments of memory.
The Crowned King's telepathic communication abruptly ceased, as if it were patiently processing the power returning to its body.
Qingyu wasn't in a hurry. She waited quietly for it to sort out its memories before opening its eyes again and looking at the abstract wood carving left by someone.
[I've recalled some fragmented memories again.]
I, too, once led my followers northward, just as I do today.
[To find more land suitable for people to live on.]
However—at that time, I should have had two more horses, one black and one white, with me?
The Crowned King's tone was somewhat uncertain.
It also cannot determine whether the memories in its own mind are true or reliable.
But Qingyu nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"At the height of your power, you led your people against two wild horses that invaded your territory."
"Later, they became your most reliable support and an important source of your great strength."
Qingyu's account was not entirely based on memory; the book in her hand that recorded the "Legend of the Lace Crown King" also provided crucial evidence.
The Rachelon itself is not actually that powerful, since its abilities are mainly manifested in healing the mind and making plants sprout, which is obviously not suitable for combat.
Only after riding its beloved horse and unleashing the "human-horse unity" through soul resonance can it master the powerful skills called Snow Spear and Star Shatter, transforming into a complete numerical monster.
Therefore, it also leaves players experiencing the Crown Snowfield DLC for the first time with one unsolved mystery of the world—
How exactly did the Calycerin (without a horse) tame the Spirit Horse and the Snowstorm Horse? Aren't they both strong against the Calycerin?
Perhaps Qingyu will have the chance to witness the answer to this question with his own eyes this time.
After receiving Qingyu's reply, King Lei Guan pondered for a moment before nodding.
Indeed, I remember now.
When I lost my power—I didn't want them to suffer with me, so I deliberately dispersed them, letting them return to their original habitat.
Perhaps I should go and find them.
"Of course, but not now."
Qingyu smiled and handed the book in her hand to it, explaining as she did so.
"According to legend, you used two very special types of radishes to lure them out. Without the scent of radishes, they probably wouldn't have seen you so easily."
"And even if you encounter them, it's very difficult to tame them again. You'll need to create 'bonds' that will remind your horses of their bond."
"Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed."
The Queen of the Lace Crown did not deny Qingyu's words, and looked down at her empty palms.
Through Qingyu's words, it vaguely recalled the appearance of its two old friends.
At the same time, I also remember more vividly how explosive their tempers were —
Even if thousands of years have passed, if I were to find them again, I would probably have no choice but to engage in a fierce battle.
With my current strength, can I really appease them?
The Crowned King suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced himself to maintain his dignity.
At worst, I'll just let them beat me up to vent my anger!
【I see.】
I will find a way to deal with those two types of radishes.
But regarding the reins that bind me—I have no memory of them at all.
If we can't obtain the reins of tethering, we may have no choice but to bite the bullet and try to persuade them.
Just as King Raiguan and Qingyu were having an encrypted conversation, the village chief, who had been observing for a while, seemed to realize something and took the initiative to come over.
"Your Majesty, are you troubled by the matter of winning back those two former allies?"
"Actually, my ancestors passed down the craft of making reins, probably in preparation for this day!"
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will create a masterpiece that will satisfy you as soon as possible!"
The Crowned King blinked, seemingly a little unaccustomed to the change in the human's attitude, and cautiously glanced at Qingyu.
Qingyu smiled, squatted down, and patted its shoulder.
Since this is a kind offer from your people, please accept it generously.
[In the future, more people will recognize you as the "King of Abundance."]
After the telepathic message sent by Mewtwo reached Calyrex's mind, Calyrex nodded.
"I understand."
The Crowned King finally spoke.
Its voice seemed a little hoarse, but the aura it exuded was clearly different from when it was confused before, showing the demeanor of a former king.
"I want to thank you for your contributions, and I will never let this tradition end in my hands."
This sentence immediately excited the village chief.
If the legend of the Calyreth King is ever revised again, my name will have to be on a separate page, making me a key right-hand man to this king!
"My lord, please rest for the night in our village. I will surely present you with reins and bridles first thing tomorrow morning!"
It sounds like they're going to be working overtime all night.
King Rai nodded, then shook his head.
"You need not concern yourselves with me."
"I need to make some preparations tonight in order to find my beloved horse."
After saying this, King Rai turned to leave.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Qingyu a meaningful look.
Qingyu and Zhulan saw this, but didn't say anything.
It wasn't until the figure of the Crowned King disappeared into the snowfield, leaving only a footprint like a plum blossom, that the surrounding villagers awoke from their daze and became excited.
"The legendary king has truly returned!"
"It's as if we're witnessing an incredible piece of history!"
"With that king who reigns supreme over abundance leading us, I believe our Frozen Village will surely rise to greatness once more!"
The villagers chattered amongst themselves, making no attempt to hide their admiration for the Queen of the Bridal Chamber.
Although this faith doesn't seem that devout, however—
Who cares? As long as it restores the power of the Rachelon, that's a good faith!
Qingyu smiled without saying a word.
