"Your Majesty, they are just ordinary nobles, they shouldn't just"
"Shouldn't it?"
The king smiled and said:
"Any trace of the emperor's blood may be taken out and used by those who are interested. Therefore, the entire empire must know that all people, creatures, and even ghosts related to the emperor should not exist in this world. ¨Q Otherwise , there will always be people in the places we occupy who use their banners to deceive the civilians of the empire, and once this deception succeeds, not only these hundreds and thousands of people will die the country will lose countless farmers, craftsmen, businessmen, and Most of them are young and middle-aged people, and my soldiers will be lost in vain. I will not lose tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands for these thousands of people."
¡°But¡it doesn¡¯t have to be to kill them?¡±
"Yes, their crimes are not worthy of death, and they may even be innocent, but they still have to die. According to what Edward once saidhehehe, there are no innocent nobles in this world."
The king shook his head slightly and laughed softly. He took the girl away from the harp and came to a bench to sit down:
"Think about it, nobles, where do the things they eat, wear, use, and serve come from? They themselves have not made much practical contribution to the country, but they enjoy countless good things far better than ordinary people. Things, they enslave others from birth to death without any cost, just because they have a noble status. Do you think this is fair? "
"But the nobles guide and protect the common people" the girl said hesitantly.
"Yes, protect civilians and guide civilians. This is their responsibility, and correspondingly, civilians need to provide them with power, and they can enjoy the benefits. Beautiful clothes, angry horses, fine wine and beauties But power and responsibility are always the same. On the contrary, there is no power without responsibility, and there should be no responsibility without power. Therefore, when the territory of the empire is lost, the people who should bear the most responsibility are the nobles of the empire and everything they have is given by the common people. This is the only life I can use to be truly responsible. Isn¡¯t it?
The girl was silent.
She didn't know if this was correct, but she knew that the words the king said were all said by that person - those reasons, stories, or theories always sounded a little weird, but it was unbelievable. refute.
The king was also silent, just looking at her demure profile. As if it was the most perfect thing in the world.
Time passes slowly like this.
Until the girl finally realized it and bowed her head apologetically to the king: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I I was wrong."
"It is not a mistake to be kind. I will give them a burial ceremony that suits their status." The young king smiled and said: "Then, can we stop thinking about these disappointing things? I seem to be starving, my head maid My lord. Can we start lunch?"
Lunch was sumptuous, grilled lamb chops with cardamom and chive sauce. Peas mixed with turnips, roasted Jerusalem artichokes, fruit wine and wine. But His Majesty the King couldn't help but frown Everything was only a small plate. Although there were many varieties, it was just a good meal for an adult man.
"Eating too much is not good for your body. I think you are tired of this reminder, aren't you?"
In response to the girl's reminder, the young king could only smile bitterly, and the meal was quickly over. In the afternoon, the king had to deal with official business, and it was 'unethical' to stay in the bedroom, so even if he tried his best, he After lingering in the room for a while, he had no choice but to leave.
How long do you want to play this clumsy game?
The long corridor was deep and silent, with only the footsteps of the king slowly echoing. It was already known to everyone that this king did not like anyone to accompany him But at this moment, there was a voice, from the silence. Rings:
With sarcasm.
"There should be many better females than her, and it's not difficult to get them with your ability. Why do you keep her all the time? Don't you already know that she is a spy sent by Thomas to your side? She is just a spy now. She just stayed here with you when she was desperate. Moreover, what she wants to find is not you, but that Edward. What can you get by keeping such a guy? A feeling of satisfaction? Prove that you have that kind of 'charm' thing?"
"Human emotions are very strange things In fact, I may not understand it very well myself, but she is looking for Edward just for hatred. This is meaningless, and it will only make her die in vain" the king said softly.
"So? You just want to mate with her, but you have endured it for more than a year without expressing it."?What are you pursuingForget it, I'm not interested in understanding your thoughts. Let's deal with those new resources first. "The voice was a little unpleasant, and in the next moment, he and the king's figure disappeared into a subtle ripple of space.
The long corridor was covered in thick fog. The young king stopped and looked around.
Here, it is already another world.
At this moment, he stood on the edge of a cliff, watching everything in the distance sink into the gray mist. The mist was thick and deep like ocean waves, but there were extremely subtle flashes of light in it. But in an instant, a big tide rolled out of the ocean of clouds and mist, parting to both sides, revealing the cyan space underneath.
It was empty, endless darkness, far-reaching, as if just by focusing on it, you would be absorbed by the incomparable depth. However, little starlight flickered in this depth, and with the wisps of threads The remaining clouds dissipate and become clearer)¡ª¡ª
But that¡¯s not starlight.
Every point that emits light is a huge rune suspended in the darkness, more than a person tall, but it is completely different from an ordinary magic circle. These scattered runes are constantly circulating in the air, moving according to their own trajectories. The size, direction, and shape of the runes are all different, and they are all entangled, but there is no disturbance between the tens of thousands of runes, and they will never even touch each other. It will be intoxicating and difficult to look away.
With the king's gently raised hand. More light appeared in the clearing.
That is the silver glow that connects the luster of the star world, they burn and expand like flames. It became a mirror-like plane, reflecting the square behind it - countless gallows were erected without exception, and the corpses were swaying in the wind like strange fruits.
Next, dim light groups rose on each gallows, but soon, those light groups began to shake, forming the shape before birth.
The clothes they wore were in tatters, but they could still be seen as elegant and noble. It's just that like these clothes, the faces of these translucent souls are similar to humans but infinitely distorted - the familiar texture extends outward from the inside of their bodies, pulling them into those doors with indescribable power, one or two. One, two groups But in an instant, an unknown number of ghosts had gathered in the darkness. The human forms transformed from souls changed from dull to angry, and the void began to be filled with wisps of frost!
The whole world roared.
That¡¯s the scream of a ghost. It was silent, but it was enough to shake the soul. The roars of hundreds of souls only converged on the only living thing in this space.
But the king just smiled.
His body is also changing - the luster is rippling through his body like water waves. Smooth armor pieces were formed from the ripples, but there were still dots of shadows on those armor pieces - if you look closely, you will find that those shadows are human facial features. He has eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but his eyes are closed. As if sleeping!
In his eyes, there are countless souls rising in the deep darkness. Gathering suddenly! The originally deep and transparent darkness has been infected by the gray coldness of the soul and has become as filthy as oil. And this filth is rushing towards the border of the abyss!
The young king breathed out softly.
But a breath.
Thousands of ghost heads are already close at hand.
Men, women, old people, young people, they all infiltrate into one place one after another! There are eyes after translucent eyes, there are teeth after translucent teeth, stacked layer by layer, squeezed layer by layer Every head is roaring, every face is crying, like countless demons and monsters. Revealing its sharp fangs, it wants to tear the human being in front of it into countless pieces and devour them all!
But they couldn't get any closer. There was something around that person that was blocking their progress, like an invisible and thick wall, keeping them one foot away from that person. No matter how hard they tried, it was in vain!
"Quiet!"
He said.
At this moment, his momentum changed.
No longer noisy or silent, vigorous or calm. Joy, anger, sorrow, worry, pride, greed, and fear, all human emotions seemed to completely disappear from his face and from his soul in an instant But the space left behind was filled with something that was difficult to look at directly. ¡
At this moment, he is no longer the king, no longer the young man, or even no longer a person.
Subtle shadows flow over his body.
That is the change in every piece of armor covering his body and every face. They are opening their eyes one by one and closing their lips.?? seems to be reciting and preaching, but there is no sound.
However, the commotion around him stopped.
The originally clear and ferocious faces of each ghost are becoming peaceful again.
??????????????? To be more precise, it¡¯s blurry¡ the facial features gradually smooth out, fade, and return to a gray-white haze. Then it rotated around the king's body for a breath, passed through the invisible wall, and converged into a certain piece of armor on the king's body. And the face there closed his eyes, but the original appearance became a little clearer.
It¡¯s just that this process is extremely slow. With every breath, only one soul is slowly absorbed, while the resentful spirits that are constantly gathering in the periphery are constantly squeezing and gathering, blocking the soul. The one-foot radius is also gradually shrinking - although the progress is insignificant. Check, but when the one hundred and thirty-third soul merged into the king's body, a harsh and sharp friction sound finally sounded!
Boom!
The invisible protection finally broke down, and countless ghosts rushed towards his body. On those smooth armor plates, countless faces seemed to be cheering at this moment, and magnificent songs finally spewed out from them!
???????In fact, if you break that rhythm, it might just be a language, a cry. A simple joy.
The originally turbulent flow of souls slowed down, and seemed to turn from anger to fear. I wanted to escape - but it was obviously too late. The great power turned from resistance to absorption. The countless spiritual essences gathered towards that person and dissipated without a trace in just a moment!
In the end, only the young king was left in the huge space.
Half-kneeling on the edge of the cliff, he opened his mouth wide and panted hard as if he wanted to squeeze his lungs out. Sweat dripped from his body, but if you look closely, you will find it. Every drop of sweat dissipated in the air and turned into fine steam before returning to his body!
¡°The idea is interesting, but it¡¯s a pity it¡¯s useless.¡±
That mysterious voice echoed in the space again: "Every soul's thinking does have most of the same parts, but it is those differences that constitute the soul's ontology. You want to use your power to erase their existence." , which is equivalent to resisting more than a thousand people at the same time. Taking turns to compete with them alone, do you think you can win with just your thin soul? "
¡°There¡¯s always a possibility¡no matter how small.¡±
After a long time, the young king finally stopped to breathe. He spoke softly, but his hoarse voice had a crisp ending, layer upon layer. It's like beating a string of brass bells.
He reached out and lightly touched the corners of his eyes, where there were two thin lines of blood. Then it condensed and flew up, turning into two blood beads. Fly into his mouth. Following his movements, the thick clouds and mist in the sky slowly closed, covering up the huge magic circle and countless runes.
Then, the surrounding space was reversed, sending the young king back to the corridor of the castle The sun slanted through the long window lattice, and the dust was flying leisurely in it, and time seemed to have just lost a short moment. .
"Do you think that if Edward succeeded, you can also succeed?"
The voice in the shadow suddenly became indifferent.
Although it is just a voice, the nameless energy flow in the surrounding space turns this indifference into reality. As the voice fell, the surrounding air creaked due to the cold, and a layer of frost spread outward along the wall, turning the surrounding area within ten feet into a grayish white!
However, the young king did not take it seriously. Just narrowed his eyes leisurely.
"The stronger my soul is, the more I can exert your power, Your Majesty. This is a far better thing for you than for me." He said softly: "And those souls, you always absorb most of them, you Why should I be angry? Could it be that the famous ancient evil creature, Pandorion the God-Slayer, would care about my little soul, which is completely controlled by you, and this insignificant power?"
"Your thinking is just a wisp of smoke to me. It is just a pastime. Don't think that you can rely on it to drive me away. You and I have been one thing for a long time. No matter what kind of power, even if Even 'I' can't be separated!" The voice in the shadow shook like thunder!
The young king was silent.
Give me a lever and I can lift the earth So even a trivial force can do things you can't understand.
My friend¡¯s words echoed softly in a very small corner of my heart, insignificant, and then mixed into the grand thoughts, completely unrelated to any existence.?Chazhi¡ª¡ªThe voice in the shadow turned from thunder to a low sneer at this moment: "However, it would not be bad if he comes back At least, the Lord of the Morning's attention will no longer be so focused. .¡±
"Yes Chenxi."
The king said softly.
He walked forward slowly, with just one step falling. He had reached the end of the corridor. With the second step falling, he had passed through the window lattice and reached the air outside the castle. And with the third step raised, the huge tower in front of the castle appeared. The brilliance flowed on the magic circle, and Peiran's power split the space, sending him thousands of miles into the air in an instant!
The bright sun of early autumn hangs high in the sky, mixing its heat with the refreshing wind, crossing the bluish sky. Looking down from the sky, the vast earth appears every detail, extremely clear.
However, there is also a place that is slightly blurry.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a small dense forest hill. The sunlight after noon shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on this silent forest, turning it into a slightly golden green, which is breathtaking. I was delighted at first sight.
However, if you look carefully, you may find something different here. In that mountain forest, there are no traces of even the smallest animals, whether it is common birds, rabbits, rats, or insects. When the breeze blows, the pieces rustle. The soft sound was so silent that it made people feel chilly.
Of course, ordinary people may not pay much attention to this. This mountain forest is dozens of miles away from the nearest village and town. There are no convenient roads around it, it is not rich in fruits and game, and the scenery is not beautiful Even if human beings develop vigorously For hundreds of years, it is unlikely that the roads nearby will be eroded.
But in the eyes of extraordinary beings, everything around them is completely different.
There is a radiance like the rising sun here. The brilliance is so intense that it even surpasses the bright sun in the autumn sky. Just looking at it makes people feel that their bodies are burning!
However, the young king squinted his eyes and let the feeling burn until everything in the light became slightly clearer.
Naive guy The reason why he didn't show up to kill you is not just because you are not a threat to him or don't care about him, but because he doesn't dare to face everything alone now. Such a provocation from you will Pay the price! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
