🌷 Flowers & Roads 🌷 | Ep. 27 | Minecraft Empires 1.17

[UPBEAT INTRO MUSIC] Hey guys, what’s up? LDShadowLady here, and welcome back to Empires. Where we have a new emperor and therefore, a new rule. My southern ally, Katherine, now holds the crown and she has declared that we all must visit her Empire and be matched with a flower,

So we can build a garden dedicated to it. So I’m going to head over there right now and find out what my spirit flower is. Here it is. This looks like the place. So… pit of death. Well, I think if I refuse to obey the law, that would be my fate.

But I am here to obey the law. Press button for flower. Pink tulip. So now I have to build a whole garden dedicated to pink tulips. Lest I be cast into the pit of death.

So let me see if I can find Katherine’s little Secret Grove again. So I can harvest a bunch more of these flowers. Here, it is. Okay. How do I Oh gosh, it’s happening. The harvest begins! Stop. Thank you once again, Secret Grove. I’m off to obey the law.

Now, instead of building a new lily pad in the salt water, where it might not survive. I have a better idea. You see for as long as I’ve lived here in the Prisma Palace. I have looked out onto the and wondered why is it so ugly?

Well today I’m going to do something about it. Let’s start by chopping down this monstrous mega tree, which is quite frankly, an abomination of nature. There. Remind me never to plan anything like that ever again. Okay, so far it actually looks worse,

But my plan for this land is to turn it into a cliff that meets the ocean and build a cliff top garden on top. So I started working away on terraforming, the land, removing the ugly beach and replacing it, with a rocky cliff.

To be quite honest with you, this is one of my first times building on land and honestly, I had no idea what I was doing and you can probably tell from this footage, but I was busy trying to add some detail to the rock face

When a raiding party spawned and I made the fatal mistake of killing the chap with the banner, which, of course, triggered a raid back at the Prisma Palace when I went back for supplies. So of course, I had to take care of the before I could continue

But little did I know that this wizard of death from the raid decided to swim over to where I was building. So when I returned to do some building, I was ambushed. Luckily I took down the Evoker, but the Vex’s almost killed me. I nearly died. Okay this time they’re gonna…

I can’t believe it. I was just trying to build a… Oh no. I thought we were just building a cute garden today. I did not realize there was a threat of death. Now give me my stuff. No Dolphins. No! Anyway, as I was saying before everything went disastrously wrong.

This will be my clifftop garden. So, of course, we’re going to plant all of the Tulips that I harvested. So I think it would look best to plant these in clusters. And then I’m going to build some giant tulips out of wool and terracotta,

These are heavily inspired by the huge flowers in the Overgrown. And I think they make this garden look so magical and whimsical. I really hope that Emperor Katherine is pleased with my flower garden and that I will not be thrown in the death pit today.

It even inspired me to go a little bit wild and terraform on the rest of the coastline. What’s going on? I was just doing some more landscaping down here and I uncovered something behind the rocks. What is this? It’s some kind of tomb full of treasure.

Prince Azoogoo. Well he really got around this ocean. And I guess he ended up here. Rest in peace my friend. I’ll be taking your valuable treasures and I will leave you to rest in peace. There’s so many treasures hidden around this world and I have such a knack for sniffing them out.

Let’s see we’ve got an ender pearl. And a magma cream, that’s pretty useless. And what is this? A suspiciously shiny egg. Now that gives me an idea. I bet I could convince somebody to buy this from me in exchange for something valuable. I know exactly where to take this egg. YooHoo.

Pearl: Hello. Lizzie: Hello. Pearl: Would you like to witness a magical moment of the kitten? I’ve witnessed a miracle. Pearl: A miricle birth. I see you have an interest in animals. Well, perhaps I can interest you in something very unique. Pearl: Are you trying to sell me a rotten egg right now?

This is no rotten egg. This is a shiny magical egg. Pearl: How is it magical? Lizzie: You know, as a student of the Academy, I know magic when I see it and I have a really good feeling about this egg. Pearl: Okay. Rub it or something.

Pearl: Okay, so it’s like a Genie bottle. Is it going to spawn an animal? Well, could be it’s hard to say with certainty but this egg and all its magical properties could be yours. And all I ask in return is one of your most valuable possessions. Pearl: I’m a Farmer Queen. I’m poor.

It doesn’t look like it from that outfit. Pearl: My outfit? Oh, you mean this stuff? Are you saying you want a Big Shiny outfit? Pearl: For netherite gear for this egg. Yes. Pearl: Oh, if I can get this to hatch… I do wonder what its gonna be.

Yes it could hatch, it could hatch a giant creature. It could fly or it could breathe fire Pearl: Breath fire? or it could swim. [CRICKET SOUNDS] Pearl: Okay, you know what, right? You know what? Pearl: I’ll give you a deal, right? This is what I have to offer.

Pearl: This is what I must exchange this egg then I then I will. Pearl: My finest tool, the hoe perfect for farming needs and there we go. A netherite hoe! I’ve been blessed by the Farmer Queen. Pearl: I’ve also got a wonderful set of golden wings for you. Thank you.

Pearl: It does look quite lovely on you to be honest. This is nice. The pleasure doing business with you Pearl. Okay, now let’s get out of here before she realises I scammed her. Now I can add this beautiful Farmer Queen armor to my collection. That is beautiful.

This is the perfect place to come to try on all my outfits and decide what to wear for the day, but right now, I don’t have time for costumes. I’m going to be late.

Katherine is hosting an event at her Empire and I need to be there for a chance to win back the crown. Katherine: Welcome to the race for the crown. Katherine: The one who clears all six zones the fastest will get to rule the server. Who is going to be participating today? I am

FWhip: Y’all don’t even need to try. Don’t even try this. Scott: Me. FWhip: I got this. You know, if I win everyone’s only allowed to eat cookies. FWhip: You are evil. Yes I am. Scott: Mine is no armour so. NO ARMOUR?!

FWhip: You know, I’m just trying to bring everybody together and make people build some roads to each other. Come on now. How noble of you. FWhip: Yeah. I’m the good guy over here. I always have been. [SCOTT SCOFFS]

Katherine: So in zone one, we have hoppy course. Ride a horse and hop over the obstacles that are in your way in. Katherine: In zone two, we have some painless parkour a very easy, heart-shaped path to get through.

Katherine: Moving on to zone three, piggyback. So, climb onto a saddled pig, guide it to the end with a magic carrot stick. Katherine: And then, once you’ve completed that, you’ll enter rainbow land. Katherine: A land full of rainbow parkour, this one goes up in the sky little bit,

Katherine: so if you fall off, you will have to start over. Katherine: After all the running around, you’ll come across the peaceful pond. Grab a fishing pole, Katherine: relax a little, catch a fish and then move on to the final section.

Katherine: This is the goat climber. A treacherous and dangerous mountain you must climb. Katherine: Reach to the top of the goat and set off a firework to complete the race. Katherine: Does that sound good? Katherine: Okay. I’m going to be waiting for you guys at the top of the goat.

Scott: Okay. FWhip: Okay. Okay. Katherine: On your marks, get set… Go! [PANICKED NOISES] [FAST TALKING] [RECORD SCRATCH] Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. Well, here’s where all went wrong. Way back before the race even started, I chose the one horse that couldn’t jump two blocks.

So, I sacrificed him to the flames and I continued on with the rest of the course, like nothing happened, and it was pure chaos. The parkour was easy enough, but by the time, I got to piggyback, my pig had disappeared, so, I just flew across and the rainbow parkour was a struggle.

But eventually, I caught up to Scott and FWhip by the peaceful pond. All I had to do was catch a fish. FWhip: Come on fishy. Come on. Come on fishy. Scott: This is so stressful. FWhip: I’ve deffinetly got one. I’m out. I’m out. I’m just. Katherine: Are you cheating?

FWhip: GIVE ME TO CROWN KATHERINE! [CHAOTIC SCREAMING FROM EVERYONE] FWhip: It’s mine. It’s mine. It’s mine. I’ve got it. FWhip: I’ve got it. Scott: You murdered Katherine. FWhip: No, it’s fine. [DELIGHTFUL MUSIC] The prophecy. Katherine: You betrayed me and I got flowers.

“A great betrayal will wrench, the hearts of rulers until a rain falls to cleanse the pain.” FWhip: You’re welcome. Great things happen when I’m in charge. Look at that. Ha ha! [INTERNAL LIZZIE VOICE] This is very concerning. [INTERNAL LIZZIE VOICE] If all of these prophecies come true, then… I have to go.

I’m pretty sure that this old book can predict the future. [FORBODING MUSIC] No, it’s a book. That would be ridiculous. Anyway, I ought to obey the law now that FWhip has the crown, the road builders guilds in power, and I have to connect my Empire to another.

So I need to figure out how to build a road through the ocean. I was pondering this dilemma for a while, but then I found an elegant solution. I present to you the Ocean Road. A clearly marked path from my Empire, all the way to Pixandrea. You can either fly over it.

You could swim through it if you’re so inclined and you might even get a helping hand from a couple of dolphins, or even take a boat. And the ocean path will lead you all the way to the desert. Where you will find that I have built a river.

Yes that’s right. I have blessed the desert with the gift of water. And it leads all the way to Pixandrea. Ta da! I hope the road builders guild is pleased with my offering. That’s it for this episode of Empires. Don’t forget to leave a like and please consider subscribing to my channel
