king game

All the stars in the sky fell, that was the last afterglow of the gods shining in the world.They came to this land to guide people as gods, while those who played tricks and profited from human beings became demon gods.

——"Wandering Talk · Ban · Blasphemy"

When Lu Qianqiu just woke up, he saw a black light flashing in front of his eyes. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt that he was grasping something greasy.He took a closer look and found that it was a poisonous snake with a faint light all over its body.Its eyes were filled with scarlet and cruel light, and it was hissing and spitting at him, and the exposed fangs were sharp, obviously aiming at his life.

His face was still wet, and the hair on his forehead was still dripping with water.Beneath him was a pool of blue lake, with clumps of weeds growing beside the water.Just now the snake was hiding in the wet grass mud, and when he lowered his head to wash his face, it jumped out suddenly, trying to poison him to death.

Lu Qianqiu recalled his past, not surprisingly, his "this life" also has a famous name, but now he is still a teenager, not only has not even ascended to the throne, it seems that even his own personal safety is not safe. been threatened.

He began to stand up, and the shadow of a young man was reflected in the lake water.His black hair is slightly curly, and his face is slender and soft. This is not a very strong body, but his eyes are very flexible, full of a kind of spiritual light.

Suddenly, the long snake in his hand spoke: "Son of David, do you know who you are holding in your hand?"

Lu Qianqiu was surprised.What surprised him was not that the snake could speak. He had already seen the extraordinaryness of this snake, and there was an obviously extraordinary soul hidden in it. What surprised him was that after failing to attack him, the snake still Trying to threaten him in vain, trying to make him let go of himself.

Lu Qianqiu has always been known as benevolent, but his subordinates have never lacked the blood of the enemy. He sighed, and a deep color appeared in his eyes, and he asked back: "Demon God transformed into a snake, you know, you Who offended?"

The snake was startled, it wanted to stand up and look carefully at the details of the mortal in front of it, but it forgot that its seven inches had already been grasped by someone, so it only felt a tingling numbness, no matter how hard it tried not come out.

"Damn it!" it yelled.But the next moment, its voice sank, because its bones had been broken, it panted a few times, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

It seemed that it still wanted to put down a few harsh words, but unfortunately, Lu Qianqiu didn't give it this chance.

After washing his hands, he brushed aside the grass and walked back from the river.He came to a gathering place, where there were sharp-eyed people who quickly spotted him, and they immediately shouted in surprise: "His Royal Highness Solomon!"

In addition, several people stood up together, and they quickly greeted them, and everyone respected them very much.

They are Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the prophet Nathan, Shimei, Rei, and some warriors of King David. They all wear a very distinctive clothes. Benaiah is a warrior , he is tall, with strong hands and feet, and holds a spear-like weapon in his hand; while the prophets move a little slower, and they wear robes that are inconvenient to move.

"Your Highness Solomon, where did you go just now?" The prophet Nathan frowned slightly, with some reproach in his tone: "No matter where you go, Benaiah should protect you. If you are injured, King David and Lady Bathsheba Will be worried!"

Nathan was a very wise man, and he had already seen that something was wrong with this gathering.This time the meeting was called by Solomon's elder brother Adonijah, and now Zeruiah's son, General Joab, was guarding him, and the two were talking in front of the fire.Seeing Lu Qianqiu coming back, doubts flashed in Adonija's eyes.

"What's the matter? Your Highness." Joab asked.He is the nephew of King David, who defeated the Jebus and Philistines and helped unify the kingdom of Israel.He has a brave but violent personality, and for some reason, he voted for Prince Adonijah.

Adonija's eyes were dark: "He shouldn't have come back."

Joab frowned: "Have you done anything to Solomon?"

Adonijah said: "As long as he is still alive, I will not be able to inherit the throne. My father once said to the woman before the Lord God that he would let Solomon continue to be king. He is a thorn in my eye, and he will not die. I have no peace for a day."

Joab said coldly, "But you failed."

Adonijah said angrily: "That may be his good luck. There will always be one time he can't escape!"

Lu Qianqiu withdrew his gaze over there, Adoniya's malice was too obvious, like a fireball among a group of stars, Lu Qianqiu hadn't felt this kind of undisguised malice for a long time, which made him a little Novelty... But, if a person does something, he always has to bear the consequences of doing that.

Lu Qianqiu smiled slightly at Nathan the Prophet and said, "Sorry, I just went to cleanse myself, because the distance is a bit close, so I didn't bother you."

Nathan's tone softened: "You don't need to apologize, Your Highness Solomon. You just need to know that you need to protect yourself, because you are the future king of Israel, and some dark swords will be removed from you. For this reason, You need the Guardian's presence."

Binaya on the side said with guilt: "Your Highness, please let me follow you, I will not let the sword fall on you, because they will step over my corpse first."

Lu Qianqiu nodded and said, "I believe in your loyalty."

When night comes, the surrounding branches are like evil spirits lurking in the dark, the bonfire in the center is burning fiercely, and some guards are stationed around to prevent hunting wolves from coming to forage, but in the unknown At the same place, a faint black snake quietly crawled into a tent.

The crow on the dead branch watched this scene quietly.

The snake didn't respond to the call from the other side, even though he knew that the summoner had already drawn the magic circle, visited the sacrifice, and bleed out blood, but he must bite the boy who offended him during the day death, because it has already figured it out after returning, and the rhetorical question of the son of David may be just a kind of ridicule for its question.

It has been confirmed long ago that this son of David is not the reincarnation of any god.

And those who offend the gods will always be given the punishment they deserve.

It began to crawl into the warm tent.In the tent, Lu Qianqiu was talking to his guard Binaya.They were discussing the plan in the near future, and Benaiah was telling Lu Qianqiu about Adonijah's movements, saying that he had slaughtered the cattle, sheep, and fattened calves, and invited his brothers, generals, and servants, but he just didn't go. Call the prophet Nathan and his Benaiah, and Solomon, who left him not a morsel of meat, not even a mouthful of hot soup.

Snake sneered silently: That's because that kid thought that the brother he hated the most was dead...

Lu Qianqiu talked about his distress by the lake, and Binaya stood up, holding a weapon in his hand, trying to trouble the assassin, but Lu Qianqiu raised his hand and pressed him down: "The one who shot was not people."

"Not a human?" Binaya was puzzled at first, but soon, his face turned pale instantly, and he said with fear: "Is it an alien god?"

Lu Qianqiu nodded: "It can speak, and it can turn into smoke and disappear into the air. If it is not a newly born monster, it is likely to be a demon summoned by people."

The existence of demon gods is not a secret between the priests and the upper class, but people are afraid of them, so they only call them "different gods".

"Who is He?" Although he was very frightened, Binaya asked. His palms and forehead were covered with sweat. It was the fear of being stared at by a horrible thing. He never thought that he would be with a demon god. enemy, but he must do so now.

Lu Qianqiu also admired his courage. No matter what, it is a great bravery for a human being to dare to face an enemy that he cannot face.He smiled and said, "Why not let him introduce himself?"

Benaya was startled, he subconsciously threw the spear in his hand at a flying black shadow, the spear pierced through the shadow, tore through the cloth of the tent, and uttered "" Whoosh" sound.

"You cast magic on the weapon—" A shrill voice pierced the night sky, waking up everyone who had already rested.

The night watchmen rushed over with torches and spears.When they came over, they saw Benaiah and their Highness Solomon coming out of the hole in the broken tent. They were a little confused: "What happened, Your Highness Solomon?"

Benayah's description was terrifying, his right hand that threw the spear was constantly shaking, and he finally knew why His Highness asked him to look for the prophet Nathan during the day.The priests in the team were all close to Adonijah, and only the prophet Nathan could receive the holy water blessed by the priesthood.If he hadn't made such preparations in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to restrain the phantom poisonous snake.

Everyone surrounded the place where the spear landed. They looked at the twisted snake that was still emitting black mist, and they all felt a chill in their hearts.
