Chapter 727: Striving for Happiness (page 15)

"Your Majesty, there has been an emergency. Many nobles were executed by the mobs in the underground world while traveling in the underground world." A noble placed a letter on the king's desk with a grim expression.

The king was slightly startled. How could such a thing happen suddenly? He picked up the letter, opened it and read it, then frowned.

"Hasn't the official underworld given an explanation for this matter?" asked the king.

"Your Highness, no. Their brutality and arrogance are destroying our friendly alliance!"

"Your Highness, this matter must be handled properly. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will have another dispute."

The king nodded and motioned for the noble to leave. The king felt that something was wrong with this matter, so he subconsciously asked Dio.

"Dio, has something happened in the world below?"

"Well, with the arrival of the two true gods, the Golden Tree and the Mad Fire, the Soul Cult has given up resistance. So they have become much more radical in their actions. Now my passage is full of noble tourists who are anxious to return. Haha..." Dio didn't care about it.

"What!? Why are you telling me such an important thing now?" The king was a little dissatisfied.

"Haha, didn't you ask either? And watch your tone! Even if you are the king, you have no right to talk to me like that." Dio said coldly.

"...I'm sorry, I lost my composure. But facing those two gods, are you sure you can deal with them? Will their appearance affect the world on the ground?" the king said solemnly.

"I don't know. I should have no problem dealing with one. But if two come together, I may not be able to handle it. But they are unlikely to join forces. After all, the Mad Fire King is an old acquaintance of yours."

"Hmm?" The king was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. "Could that Mad Fire King be the Duke?"

"Yes! But he is not very clear-headed now, and he probably can't remember you. But he is unlikely to cooperate with the Golden Tree. So you don't have to worry about the safety of the ground world for the time being." Dio said.

The king touched his forehead and felt a headache.

"So is it possible for the underground world to counterattack the surface in order to protect itself? Will you help us then?"

"Isn't it good that they counterattack the ground? After all, the world on the ground is too ugly. It's natural to be cleaned up." Dio said indifferently.

"..." The king felt his forehead throbbing. Dio's thoughts were too hard to figure out.

"But the ground world is your base. Are you going to just let the enemy attack?" asked the king.

"Hey! Did you get something wrong? You little guys can't help at all. What kind of basic situation are you? Oh, I forgot to tell you that I can move freely now. The reason I'm lying here is just because it's more comfortable here." Dio said with a smile.

"Have you completely adapted to this world?" the king was a little surprised.

"Well. So you are of no use to me, you can't help me in anything! The non-aggression treaty we signed before was invalidated the moment I was able to move." Dio said bluntly.

The king looked a little unhappy when he heard this. He didn't expect that the fragile balance would be broken so quickly.

"Also, I've noticed that after being king for so long, you've gradually forgotten your experiences in the underground world. I remember when you first came back, you still had the idea of ​​changing the situation in the aboveground world. But now, you've completely entered the role of king, only pursuing superficial stability without wanting deep reforms. Your state of mind has regressed!" Dio said.

The king was slightly stunned when he heard this. It seemed to be true, and he seemed to have become content with the status quo.

The king rubbed his brows and took out some drafts from a safe. These drafts were some human rights bills he had drawn up based on the system of the underground world. The most important one was the abolition of serfdom.

However, after he had a thorough understanding of the situation on the ground, he realized that this bill would definitely encounter great resistance, and there was a high probability that it would even shake the stability of his throne. So, in his hesitation, he shelved these bills.

"..." The king looked at these bills and hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "It's different. If we want to implement this bill, we must wait until productivity is more developed... The population of the surface world is more than ten times that of the underground world. Our productivity must be more than ten times more developed..."

"Come on! Even if we move all the technology from the underground world up here, those nobles will not think of abolishing the serfdom law. Are you dreaming about peaceful change? I think we should let the warriors from the underground world wake you up!" Dio said with a smile.

Dio said these words not because he hoped that the world above could also improve. He simply wanted to watch the fun and not mind the trouble. Even now, Dio still didn't feel much like fitting in to this world.

He could kill hundreds of thousands of people without any guilt, or turn into the sun and force the king to reform. He could do anything as long as he wanted.

A layer of sweat slowly seeped out of the king's head. He had an understanding of the fighting power of the underground world. In fact, even if Dio had not sacrificed the 50 troops, those troops would not be able to gain a foothold in the underground world. It is estimated that any random bishop group would be able to annihilate them. The more he understood those extraordinary powers, the more the king felt his own powerlessness.

"Dio... reforms need to be gradual. Can you give me some time?" asked the king.

"That's not up to me. Those soul warriors are now bored and they originally planned to enjoy their lives in the last moments. But after being in war for a long time, they simply can't stand this kind of peace. Now they seem to have found a new reason to fight! Fight for the liberation of all horns! Isn't this a noble and passionate reason?"

Bang! The king slapped the table and stood up.

"Hey! Don't be so excited! Where did the calm prince go? Why are you so easily excited now? Is it because you are not completely penniless now, so you start to worry about the power and wealth in your hands?" Dio mocked. "That's how people are! The more you get, the less useful they are!"

"Enough! Dio! I will push forward the reform! But if those people in the underground dare to invade the upper world, I will definitely not be polite to them!"

"You..." Dio was about to say something when an anxious maid rushed in.

The king stared at the maid coldly. "What is it? Is it necessary to be so anxious?"

The maid was startled, but still shouted in panic: "Your Highness! Something has happened to the two princesses!"

"What!" The king was shocked. Without saying a word, he rushed out of the study to find the two princesses.

When he rushed to the princesses' bedroom, several doctors were discussing the conditions of the two princesses with serious faces.

"What's the matter with them?" asked the king anxiously.

"This... the two princesses have fever for no apparent reason. And there is also unknown fire in their eyes... We have never seen this kind of disease before!" Fear flashed across the faces of several doctors.

The king was stunned when he heard this. He knew what it was, it was the precursor of an epileptic seizure. But it was not right! The two princesses should have at least two years to live. Why would an epileptic seizure come earlier?
