Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 457 Gift giving is a science
"We want to know what you and His Majesty said so that he didn't punish you at all and let you appear in front of us intact." Nip said seriously.

Edjo glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty is the same as before. He is benevolent. He knows that we have already received the most severe punishment in a long time, so he treats us criminals lightly. I ask him Explaining what we have been asking for all these years, he told us to wait patiently, and he will give us the answers we want."

Everyone's eyes flickered, and Abraham frowned and said, "What did you explain? What you brainwashed us back then?"

José showed dissatisfaction on his face: "The reason why you supported your pursuit of the secret of the origin of the dragon clan back then was because you had nothing to do, and you didn't want everyone to fall apart. Do you really think we are interested in this crap?"

Nip also frowned and said, "I said back then, there is nothing to trace back to this thing. Your Majesty is the source of our dragon clan."

Edjo: "..."

He suddenly missed the days when Mars was around, and Mars had always been his most solid ally in the elders.

He said with a blank expression: "If you have any opinions, go to your Majesty."

Silent.

After a long silence, Nip slowly said: "I went to Tokyo on the way here and met that lucky kid."

"You're talking about the kid in the Mars report with two copies of the blood mark?" Joseph asked interestedly, "How?"

"He is a lucky boy. He is surrounded by a girl he likes, and behind him stands the best boss in the world. He is really a winner in life."

Nip sighed,
"But what I still remember is the girl. She is a very smart and sensitive girl, and she is quite likable."

"Before I left, the girl asked me why I didn't go to see His Majesty in person."

"I said I didn't dare to go, because I didn't know how to face him, and I was afraid that he would really forget me."

"Then the girl provoked me with words, saying that I was really too timid, so I naturally wouldn't care, but she then said, maybe... His Majesty would also like to see us."

Nip looked around at the three of them, and said in a soft and erratic voice, "Maybe, I mean maybe, we should really take the initiative to meet His Majesty instead of waiting for His Majesty to come and find us."

After a brief silence, Abraham took the lead and said, "With Edjo's lessons learned from the past, we should really think about it seriously."

Edjo didn't quarrel with this guy who has always been unforgiving.

He also said softly: "You should have seen that kid named Qilan. I met him many times and talked for a long time. He told me that we should take the initiative to try to understand His Majesty's inner world instead of Wait for His Majesty to tell us."

"Actually, I feel a little bit sorry for Smith."

Edjo looked around and saw that Abraham was frowning, but he didn't continue to mock the good old man. Joseph looked a little embarrassed, but Nip remained silent.

"After all, His Majesty still liked Smith very much back then, otherwise he wouldn't have always summoned him."

Abraham interjected, "It's just that His Majesty likes to listen to his stories about what he has seen and heard from far away."

Edjo ignored him and continued: "Smith even made a special trip to His Majesty's hometown in this life, but he didn't get to see His Majesty until he died. I don't know if there is a chance to meet next time. Thousands of years later."

"Remember those words Smith said on the phone?"

"I can't figure it out."

Edjo smiled wryly and said, "Yeah, how can we figure it out? None of us can understand His Majesty's choice, he is so supreme, he is the real supreme person in this world, but the only supreme person in this world chooses ended what we see as a 'self-defeating' life."

"Sometimes when I think about it, maybe it's not that I can't figure it out, but that I can't accept it. We can't accept the fact that we don't understand His Majesty at all."

The rest of the people present were silent.

They either lowered their eyes or tilted their necks back, staring at the lines on the ceiling in a daze.

Edjo looked at Abraham, and said in a low voice: "Abraham, you said that His Majesty just likes to listen to Smith tell about the scenery and knowledge in the distance, but why does he never get up and leave the temple? He is the master of the world, he He can go wherever he wants. He can see the distant scenery with his own eyes, not through the description of others."

Abraham's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Now I can still think of the days when we met His Majesty."

Edjo said quietly,

"The door of the temple opened, and the wind chimes hung by Smith jingled. His Majesty opened his eyes and looked at the distance behind us, but we thought it was because His Majesty was too lazy to look at us."

"We must admit that we never understood His Majesty's real thoughts, because he rarely confides in us, but this is not the main reason, because we never tried to really understand him."

"In the meeting not long ago, His Majesty told me that maybe he is indeed not a qualified king, but we are not qualified courtiers either. It's normal for everyone to think about it for the first time and do something wrong..."

The uncontrollable aura burst out cracks and spread under their feet, but the owner of the house never made a sound to stop it.

Everyone lowered their heads, their faces pale.

The fierce gold surged in their eyes, and the air was filled with a dangerous and stagnant atmosphere.

But even Edjo couldn't see what they really looked like at the moment.

Edjo's flirty words were deeply rooted in their hearts. The rhizome penetrated into the flesh and blood of the body, grew vigorously, and bloomed blood-colored flowers. It was like a jagged knife inserted into the heart and stirred. The pain made them say no. Say a word.

Edjo's description is so realistic that they can easily recall the pictures in those years, and each picture is just like Edjo's description, and finally points to a truth——

They never really knew His Majesty.

Edjo looked around at the crowd and knew it was time to ask the final question.

He utters the rant from Nissos about Phrysius to Mars in its entirety at this moment.

This included Frissis calling His Majesty a liar and taunting them all.

Looking at the three people frowning, Edjo made a conclusion: "Frisis has no reason to add embellishment to this, or to deceive Mars at that time. A considerable part of what he said must be true."

After a brief silence, Abraham said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty cannot give Frissis such a choice for no reason."

Joseph said coldly: "Based on what Edjo just mentioned, the answer is obvious. Your Majesty doesn't like that deserted temple, and he is indeed yearning for the distant scenery, but he is limited by some reasons and cannot go Get off the throne."

Edjo nodded slightly: "I couldn't understand that His Majesty never stepped down from the throne even though he clearly liked the scenery in the distance. However, in connection with Frixis' words, the truth may have half surfaced. There must be some important The reason made him unable to leave the temple, and in the end he appointed Frixis to kill him!"

Nip suddenly said with a murderous look: "Is someone threatening Your Majesty?"

Edjo frowned slightly: "No one in this world can threaten His Majesty, he is perfect and the strongest."

"This matter is inseparable from Frixis. If what Frixis said is true, then he must be the person chosen by His Majesty and knows the key and truth." Abraham said suddenly.

Edjo sighed: "But we still don't know what Frixis wants to do, and we can't catch him and force him to say it all."

Everyone fell into silence again.

They guessed roughly, but couldn't get in touch with the deepest truth.

The only people who know this secret are His Majesty himself and Frissis himself. From their point of view, even Nid Hogg may not know it...

"Isn't it good to ask His Majesty directly?"

Nip said calmly,
"Aren't we still discussing whether we should take the initiative to meet His Majesty?"

"Ed Joe, didn't you just say that we should take the initiative to try to understand His Majesty's inner world, instead of waiting for His Majesty to tell us everything?"

"Everyone, now is the best time."

Everyone nodded slowly in silence.

The moment they nodded, a sense of relief rose from the bottom of their hearts and spread, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and their minds suddenly became clear.

They looked up at each other, and they both saw relief from each other.

From the moment they decided to take the initiative to meet His Majesty, they had partially let go of their past selves.

"When?" Joseph asked.

"Naturally, the sooner the better." Abraham said, "I really want to know what His Majesty's attitude towards Frixis is now. If the previous inference is correct, then Frixis is not only not a traitor, but chosen by His Majesty." successor?"

"It's very simple. Ned Hogg doesn't recognize Francis' status." Edjo narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty should still love Ned Hogg very much. He is his younger brother."

"Let's go when you're ready." Abraham said solemnly, "The situation is very unclear now, we don't know what Frixis is going to do, and we don't understand why Ned Hogg has returned, but he has been able to bear it so far. Temperament, did not seek irrationality to settle accounts."

"Even if it was His Majesty's will back then, the conflict between Frixis and Nidhogg could not have ended so hastily..."

Everyone nodded, this is also the biggest doubt at present.

Frixis' corpse guard army has been openly exposed to the eyes of the whole world, completely lifting the final veil, and announcing the existence of the Dragon Clan.

But Ned Hogg, who was the first to recover than Frixis, disappeared after the announcement that day.

And Your Majesty...

"According to our internal eyeliner in Kassel, His Majesty is now... traveling around the world." Edjo said in a muffled voice.

Abraham said indifferently: "Obviously, His Majesty doesn't take Frixis seriously at all, or Frixis' plans are all under his control."

However, José said solemnly: "At present, several countries have dispatched troops to fight against the corpse guards who invaded the country. You said that with His Majesty's temperament in this life, he will really ignore it and let the conflict between the dragons and humans Intensify, turn around and travel around the world?"

Nip shook his head and said, "Of course it's impossible, but even if we know there's a problem, we can't guess the real reason behind it. We'd better wait until we see His Majesty and ask His Majesty directly."

"When we see His Majesty, what should we say first?" José hesitated.

Everyone looked at Edjo, the lucky one who had met His Majesty not long ago.

Edjo was speechless: "You see what I do, how do I know?"

Everyone immediately looked away in disgust, and began to express their opinions.

"I remember that guy Smith gave His Majesty a gift before he died... um, souvenirs? His Majesty seems to like it quite a bit. He wore it to see Edjo."

"You mean we each prepare a meeting ceremony?"

"Gifts are always indispensable, but this is not the key point. There are a few old sayings in the human world, that is to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and curve to save the country. Can we prepare a gift for...the queen?" José hesitated.

He wasn't the only one who hesitated, everyone looked at each other at this moment.

They were still not used to having an extra girl beside His Majesty.

In order of status, that girl will be the mistress of the dragon clan, and the child she will give birth to will be the undisputed and unprecedented prince of the dragon clan.

"If His Majesty had retained the crown prince back then, even if Frixis had been appointed by His Majesty, he might not be able to sit firmly on the throne." Abraham said suddenly, "In the human dynasty, the existence of the crown prince played a decisive role in stabilizing the court situation. .”

"If there is a prince, how could His Majesty still choose Frixis?" José asked back, then paused, and continued the previous topic, "No matter what, we can please His Majesty by pleasing this one."

"What's the right gift for a woman?" Nip frowned. "Shoes? Clothes? Bags? Jewelry?"

José sneered and said, "How can the woman your majesty likes be so vulgar? Don't forget, your majesty in this life has no money at all, is a poor ghost, and has no background. On the contrary, that lady is the daughter of a wealthy family in Tokyo. , What clothes, bags and jewelry have you never seen before?"

Nip was stunned, but then he asked suspiciously, "But isn't Smith sending you clothes?"

Abraham looked deeply, shook his head and said: "It's different, the clothes Smith sent are completely different from the clothes and jewelry you just understood. The human world pays more attention to the heart, so handmade stitches are often far more expensive. It is mass-produced by machines. Even if you hire the top fashion designer to make the most luxurious clothes, it can’t compare to Smith’s special batik clothes.”

Nip frowned and said, "I can't make one by myself, can I? Even if I want to learn, I don't have the time."

José stood up suddenly and said: "Gift giving is a science, everyone depends on their own ability, I have some ideas, let's take a step first."

Watching José's leaving back, Nip opened his eyes wide and blurted out, "What does this guy mean?"

Abraham sneered, got up slowly and said, "You still can't see it? This guy is going to take this opportunity to compete. Besides, who can guarantee that His Majesty will really forgive us completely? But as long as we can really ask for it That favor, His Majesty will naturally pinch his nose and forgive us."

He walked to the door, took off his coat and hat, turned back with a smile and said, "I have some ideas too. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave, don't waste my electricity."

Nip watched the two scramble out of the house, and almost laughed angrily.

Just as he was about to criticize the villainous behavior of these two with Edjo, an old guy changed his shoes silently and made a call.

"Come and pick me up, get the airport ready, I'm going to China."
