In the void, someone spoke.

"You had a chance to kill him," said an old voice. "You didn't do anything."

"I don't have absolute certainty," said the King of Man. "If it is necessary to keep his body and soul intact, no one can be sure."

"He's badly wounded, you coward," said the voice.

"I don't even want to be a reckless man." The King of People said.

"Only by surpassing the peaks can you be called a king!" The voice said angrily, "Fearing powerful enemies and resigning to the status quo, how can you be worthy of the glory of blood?"

"But I'm still alive, and I've become a king." The king said, he turned around slowly, "And you can only stay here."

He looked at the head mounted on the wall.On the steps where the throne should be, an old nobleman with a furious beard raised his head and glared at him. The wall connected to his neck is richly decorated, the color is as new, and there is no seam, as if he has been here from the beginning .

Under the merciless gaze of the King of Human Beings, this sad prisoner's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his roar resounded through the cold and silent hall, "Sinister! Trash! Shame!"

"It is my shame that you are still alive." The King of Man said.

He closed his eyes, and the crimson curtains descended from both sides, overlapping each other, blocking the scolding and roaring behind him with darkness.But the sound can be covered up, and the ripples of thoughts are still reverberating, like a dark wind blowing through floating soil. Even if the sun shines into the long windows and casts bright spots on the unobstructed ground, it can't dispel the dead breath here.The servants and others were all guarding the door, and the human king stood alone in this long-vacant hall, even though he was tall and tall, he looked alone.

He didn't know how long he was lost in thought until the prime minister stepped into this place.

"If you just want to avoid the noise, you don't have to come here." He said to the King of People, "Although this place can't be quieter."

"Is it quiet?" the king asked.

The prime minister's eyes flicked across the curtain.

"Why do you torture yourself," he said.

"If this is self-torture, how is it compared to fighting for the highest ground in the royal city just to look up at the Palace of Immortality?" the King of Man said gloomily.

The prime minister was silent for a moment.

"I shouldn't be the object of your anger."

"Because we have an unbreakable alliance based on common crime?" said the King of Man.

"If you think that's the only thing." The prime minister said coldly.

The king fell silent.

"Hatred makes me restless day and night." After a long time, he spoke again.

"Hate for whom?" asked the chancellor.

"Everyone," said the Human King. "The living and the dead, including myself. And this world."

"Your emotions mean nothing," said the chancellor.

"What's the point of me being on this throne?" The King turned his head and asked, "How is it different between me and the corpse in the wall? Even the cage of the throne is more suffocating than this palace!"

"This is the price, unless you and I are willing to die." The prime minister said, "Besides, he is your father."

The King of People sneered.

"Is there a more vicious brand than this?" He asked softly, "In the eyes of everyone, he cast him into the wall and made him the unchangeable core of this palace. The Cabal family fell to the end because of him, and this , is my enthronement gift given to me by my teacher."

"Then, why did you choose to let him go?" the Prime Minister asked.

"Your question makes no sense." The Human King said sharply, "If I do something, I will just give them an excuse for impeachment. Whoever can keep the former prince is only one step away from the real Human King The distant Duke of Delderan? After everyone has seen how he turned my father, the current king, the old duke, into a magnificent decoration in the council hall? Those old things really don’t care as they say, why do they still Haven't stepped into this abandoned land, even if they know that the spirit of the old duke has been watching them?"

"It is precisely because the Duke of Delderan cast the old Duke into the summer palace that no one can harm you in this palace," said the prime minister. "It cannot be denied that your position and my position have been greatly protected by this."

The Human King's cheeks twitched, "No one knows whether he left a trap in the first place."

"This is also a price that has to be paid." The prime minister said.

The topic made both of them uncomfortable, and the air became quiet again.

Psychedelic lights and shadows swim on the ground, and the flickering light dust is like a fish, jumping from one beam of light to another, and unbearable memories also emerge from the cage of thoughts, gnawing people like the past days and nights Heartbroken, the King of People took a deep breath, "Speaking of the price, have you and I satisfied those nobles watching the show behind the scenes after such a stupid and clumsy show?"

"Of course not." The prime minister said, "Your Excellency the Duke himself is one of the secret doors left by His Majesty the former king. The door to cross the world can only be opened through his power. This power makes everyone feel uneasy. For us He said that the fact of betrayal has long been irreversible. Even though 200 years have passed, no one is qualified to talk about loyalty and honor to him. After His Majesty Astaros left, he even abandoned the throne, and no one can restrain this Lord again , we can only get a glimpse of his true attitude by provoking him..."

He paused.

"Your Excellency has not changed," said the chancellor. "He is the same as before."

He didn't go into details, but the King of People knew what he really meant.

"This result can't satisfy them." Human King said sarcastically, "You know what they want."

"I know," said the chancellor, "and I know they can't get it."

"And then?" the King asked.

"Then," said the chancellor slowly, "they'll still be tempted to give it a try. We've got to be ready to pick up the pieces."

"Collecting the corpse, right?" The Human King sneered.

"Contradictions have long existed and cannot be reconciled. Before meeting the aborigines of the new world, we need to re-establish our order. Even if we fall apart, we can surpass ants, but centralization and obedience are both traditions, which make our group extraordinary. , is also the interest." The prime minister said, "War is inevitable, although it may not happen immediately."

"War will definitely happen," the King of Man asked, "and the result?"

"I don't think there will be much suspense about the outcome," the prime minister said.

"Because this time, the dragon will not stand by." Human King said slowly.

The prime minister acquiesced.

The king of men turned his head and looked at the sky outside the high window, "So everything is preordained, so what is the meaning of what we do?"

His eyes passed through the thin clouds and invisible barriers, and looked at the palace between the virtual and the real. Since the rebellion, the Immortal Palace has been half-hidden into the sky and has become an untouchable place. It is the real power core of the City of Sky Sea , the power it represents is stronger and more real than the crown on the head of a human king. The summer palace is reborn on the foundation it left behind. The foundation is insufficient and the barriers are weak. A giant shadow hangs over almost everyone's heart.

Just as it has left the owner.

Flowing clouds fly by, golden and red flags are hunting and dancing in the wind, the border of the airborne platform almost touches the sky, next to Baishi Avenue, a heavy armored stone statue stands erect, blood red spear points pointing directly at the clear sky, the handsome butler puts his hands together In front of him, with golden eyes looking into the distance, the slender shadow of the flagpole fell behind him, and a row of tall and straight knights in black waited silently.

The sharp tip of the sundial floating on the stone platform pointed to the front, and above the sea of ​​clouds, a row of silver stars flashed. As they approached rapidly, the shape of the smooth wide-winged bird gradually became clear, and the whistling and buzzing sound penetrated the wind wall. Afterwards, the figures of the air cavalry were also clearly visible. When the cavalry's wild goose formation approached the platform, it formed a straight vertical line, accurately passed through the protective position opened for them, and then drew a beautiful arc before spreading out again. Landing one by one, the posture is light and elegant, just like autumn leaves.

Probably only this kind of action can show a little "noble temperament" of these young cavalrymen.

The butler stepped forward, and the Duke stepped off the aircraft surrounded by air cavalry. He took off the mask again, and it disappeared in his hands like light smoke. The shining eyes of the young people could hardly leave him. Putting on a heavy cloak, folded it on the crook of the arm, bowed slightly, "I'm glad you returned safely."

"No danger, no danger," said the Duke, "a tedious journey."

He looked at the expectant young people around him, including those who once stood upright like javelins behind the butler. They were also young, and their serious faces couldn't stop the enthusiasm that jumped in their veins.

"I won't have to go out for a while," he said, smiling again in a sigh of disappointment, "but your social season can start now."

There was a burst of cheers, and after getting permission, two groups of young people gathered together. On the airborne platform, whole blocks of stone sank down, and one after another of giant silver birds rose from the dark cave, waiting here The group of knights eagerly climbed onto their mounts, and their predecessors—those who had been allowed to travel with the Duke stood under the brackets, or followed them on the flying wings, inspecting their operations. They soon encountered a playful resistance—although they failed in the competition, it didn’t mean that there was really a big difference between them. When they were doing group confrontation exercises, the outcome was also divided between [-] and [-], but they took the flying bird and Weather has trained enough as an opponent, and they have heard too much about the fashionable entertainment in other floating cities, so they really want to get out of the guardianship of the adults early and meet some new friends.

Friendly, warm, like innocent little babies, go and see how they turn themselves into crap.

Only the butler and three or two attendants accompanied the Duke back to Newcastle. They were equally quiet and respectful, except for the Duke's wishes and safety, nothing could move him.In their company, the duke's return journey was uneventful.

However, the calm was only maintained until he rested and changed his clothes, and reappeared in the main hall.

He sat down on the large chair, and the butler retreated behind holding the tray.

His subordinates immediately seized the time to express their opinions.

"A noble body, without risk." The dark elf said firmly, "You are irreplaceable to all of us, and such worrying actions must never happen again."

"Times have changed, and the main palace has long been stolen by traitors. The glory of the past has been wiped out by conspiracy and blood, and all that is left is to live," the green-eyed banshee said in a low voice, "The most memorable things are here. What do you want to go to that sad place to confirm?"

The Duke rested his cheek on one hand.The courtiers all looked at him.

"Dead things are not worth remembering," he said, "but aren't my old people still alive?"

A moment of silence.

This sentence is very heavy. Few people who can stand here today are qualified to talk about the cruel facts behind it. Only the banshee who has been with him for a long time wants to try to comfort: "The greed of those shameless people is endless, and the soul It has long been emptied, and they can't find the meaning of life except tyranny and enjoyment. They only desire more sacrifices, and they will do everything possible for this. However, squandering life is bound to be backlashed by fate. Before 200 years, the signs of extinction have appeared. You just have to wait."

"They will not perish. The more ruthless and ruthless they are, the longer they will live. This is common sense in the world. Of course, they also have self-knowledge about their own destiny." The Duke laughed, "It's just that the way of resistance is a little stupid."

From the discovery of the suicide note that subverted everything on the human king's bones, those successful people who were complacent and successful had to face the aftermath of the conspiracy.Astaros is a wise monarch, but his wiseness is rarely associated with words such as benevolence, generosity and pity. The idiot who got the job done.

He wasn't born for this.

It wasn't just that he was alive that his earnest suicide note wanted to tell them.

"What do they want to do?" asked a nobleman in military uniform.

The Duke's expression seemed careless, "Give me back the throne."

"what?!"

The dark elf who had been kneeling on the ground stood up quickly, and the courtiers let out a cry of surprise, their golden eyes lit up with surprise and anger, and there was a confused whisper, "How dare they?" "No good intentions!" " Do they find the Regent's Court too quiet?"

... Amidst all the noise, the feathers of the green-eyed banshee on the Duke's head rose slowly.

"Who?" she asked, "Who is going to push you into that polluted position? Those dirty families who should have been buried long ago, or those two ungrateful traitors?!"

"It doesn't matter," said the Duke languidly. "No one is serious."

There was another brief silence, and the nobles quickly understood the facts. Starting from summoning orders one after another, the current owner of Konghai City and the family behind him were probing, until the Duke finally decided to go to the capital and step into the city again. The Court of the Regent—Even though the Duke recognized the status of the new king on behalf of His Majesty Astaros, the city of Kukai lost its two masters and could no longer return to its former glory. capital.Losing control of the vassal city, the Immortal Palace, a symbol of power and orthodoxy, is also closed to almost all human races. Anyone who wants to restart her will be baptized by the spear of fire. No human race can survive that kind of attack. After that, the Council of Elders released all the bindings between the main city and the city of the sky and the sea. The sudden disorder of the magnetic field not only caused many small and medium-sized cities to lose the shelter of the sky and the right to resource land, but also suddenly Various natural disasters broke out, and more than one area was completely swallowed by storms, floods, and magma. The black hurricane chased after the footsteps of the floating city, plowing ravines on the ground, and 200 years later, the pale rock wounds were still exposed.That disaster not only caused the race to lose part of its population, but also shook the unreliable authority of the new king and the council of elders. If the Duke hadn't been almost completely dormant at that time, the second rebellion would have been very likely to succeed in his name.

So much so that to this day, King Ren is still privately called the "New King" by the nobles, and the summer palace where he lives is also called the "Regent's Court".

But the supreme power, even if it is not complete, is enough to feed and fatten the once weak and hungry beasts. The time of 200 years has almost made them forget where the status of the duke came from, from the time when the entourage was stopped at sea to the reception The waiting in the hall, the little earl's offense, the false invitation, pressing every step of the way, provoking wantonly, the purpose behind all the evil deeds is so absurd——

Anger swept over again.

"This is even more unforgivable!" the dark elf growled in a low voice.

"This is a great insult!"

"How dare they?"

"So unscrupulous, so shameless!"

The green-eyed banshee's neck feathers have been fully unfolded, as if a halo has risen behind her, and the bright fluorescent light is almost seeping from the end of the feathers. When the crowd was excited, she remained silent.

"We each got what we needed, and we all got the results we expected." The Duke said, "They will neither be abandoned nor held accountable. They can calmly prepare cutlery for the new world, and I— "

He said indifferently: "I am also extremely satisfied with their ignorance."
