The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
As we all know, Prince "Arthur" entered the Yangshao Empire after leaving the Longhuang Empire. When he went to Garton City, he was assassinated in the area of the Black Rock Mountains. Killing "Arthur" with the help of the dwarves finally resolved the misunderstanding under the mediation of Prince Arthur.
The methods of these assassins are ingenious and vicious. Many people speculate that the main messenger behind the scenes is Garfield, the second prince of Longhuang who has a direct conflict of interest with "Arthur", or the low-key Luke, and some even speculate that it is the leader of the Lanyao Empire. Lan Bisi, but no one would have guessed that it turned out to be "Arthur"'s father, Emperor Longhuang Rex!
Before Rex could speak, Chen Rui said a name.
"Proyo."
Rex looked coldly: "Proyo?"
"During the Battle of Heiyan Mountain, Pu Luoyo sacrificed his life to cover me from leaving... However, as a bystander who did not put himself in the game at all, I could see clearly that the orders and words he gave were completely different. It was misleading the cognition of me and the guardian step by step, trying to cause a misunderstanding between us and the dwarves. Fortunately, my guardian has strength beyond the opponent's expectations, and I have an old relationship with the dwarf grandmaster, so I resolved this issue Kill the game. At that time, I was thinking, if the guess is true, why did Pu Luoyo do this? Is he a black dead? If not, the main messenger who can make the fiancé of the imperial princess complete the task at the cost of his life, Who could it be? With this in mind, I asked Laura to do a little test on the younger sister's fiancé—although Proyo was restricted by some kind of soul contract and would not reveal secrets, but the people in this world The power is very magical, as if, some things are far beyond your imagination, my... 'Father Emperor'!"
In fact, it was not Luo La who "tested" Pu Luoyo, but Chen Rui, using the power of Xie Tong.
"That's not a test, but a test for you." Rex twitched the corners of his eyes, and finally did not deny it, and said calmly: "If you can't even pass this test, you are not qualified to be the successor to the throne. Fortunately, you did not live up to my expectations."
"This kind of test is actually a contradictory product of expectation and killing intent. Even if I pass this test by chance, there will be a second and third test in the future..." Chen Rui shook his head: "I don't know when the 'test' will come. Become a real killing field, but these are actually not what I am concerned about, there is only one thing that I am most concerned about now, my majesty."
"Although I appreciate your calmness, it also makes me more confused. You can ignore even inheriting the throne, so what exactly are you paying attention to?"
Chen Rui stared directly at the emperor on the throne: "Are you sure that you have controlled the power you used?"
"I don't understand you."
"You understand! But what you don't understand is that when you think you have successfully controlled and protected that kind of power, you have actually failed!"
Absolute control of the empire has always been the highest achievement that Emperor Rex is most proud of. Hearing this question, the index finger on the armrest of the throne moved even harder, and said solemnly: "You are doubting my control of the empire. ability?"
"I believe in the horror of a certain force." Rex was about to explode, but Chen Rui added: "My three guardians fell because of the power behind that force."
Rex and Chen Rui suddenly met with cold eyes, a strange throbbing in his heart, as if the son under the throne is the real king who really needs to look up, he said involuntarily: "I just mastered the cloud. It’s just the remnants of the Teng Empire, and has nothing to do with the Black Death. Back then, I used their power to defeat competitors like Sophie, ascend to the throne, and consolidate my rule step by step. Until now, these people have gradually lost their use The value is basically wiped out by me, and even the remaining power is firmly in my hands. I know the danger of the Black Death, and I will not be so stupid as to let the Longhuang Empire repeat the same mistakes as the Yunteng Empire, Everything is under my control!"
I see! When Rex ascended to the throne of God, he actually used the power of the "remnants" of the Yunteng Empire. From this point of view, Veronica's marriage and the accidental death of Prince Sophie...
Chen Rui's thoughts turned, the strange light in his eyes faded slightly, and he stepped forward: "The back of the Yunteng Empire has always been the black dead! This point cannot be taken by any chance! You made the most stupid mistake, You overestimate yourself too much! When you think everything is under control, many things are actually out of your control. I also overestimated you before. Even this Longhuang Empire may not be completely in control. It's under your control!"
"Bold!" Rex had recovered from the previous palpitations, and these words touched his back, "Come on!"
The captain of the imperial guards, Urser, rushed in immediately with the guards, and was shocked when he saw the missing prince "Arthur" in the hall.
Chen Rui didn't seem to see those guards, but looked directly at Emperor Rex, and said to himself: "I think Arthur. Roland... no, I'm Arthur's mother Ecarina. Roland. Zola I swear, everything I say is sincere. If for the highest benefit of this empire, even your own can be used as some kind of bargaining chip, then you should let this conversation continue instead of being selfish The ground was interrupted by harsh words. Perhaps, it was the last communication between us."
Rex was startled by Ecarina's name, and finally sat down again, and waved to Ulther without giving any further orders. These imperial guards are the dead soldiers around Rex, their loyalty is unquestionable, and there is no need to confess confidentiality and the like.
The captain of the Imperial Guard didn't take a second look at Chen Rui, and led his subordinates to retreat immediately.
"Whether it's absolute rule, great hegemony, or unification of the world, your ideal is to leave a famous name in the history of mankind, but... if even human civilization is annihilated, what is the meaning of this so-called famous name?" ?”
"The annihilation of human civilization?" Rex didn't get angry this time, but said four words coldly: "Scaremongering!"
"The ancient alchemy civilization I inherited is actually only a very small part. The alchemy civilization is a powerful civilization world no less than the human world, but it was destroyed by the evil god enshrined by the Black Death. No one will know now , In the millions of years of history, what great kings have appeared in the alchemy civilization, and what great achievements have been made, because the entire civilization has completely disappeared!"
Rex was finally moved, and the last sentence "no one will know" was cut into his heart like a sharp knife. If the entire civilization is really destroyed, then what is the meaning of the so-called rule and the so-called legacy
"What the Black Death Apostles are doing now is to allow the evil gods to come to this world! And the absolute control you think you are now is actually giving the Black Death Apostles countless loopholes to exploit, which is equivalent to ruining the entire Longhuang Empire and even the world. The future of the human world!"
When Chen Rui said these words, he released the fragment of the destruction of the alchemy civilization obtained from the abyss of Dorouda, and the flashing scenes danced in Rex's eyes, reflecting horror and shock.
"Completely eliminate the power of the Yunteng Empire! Perhaps His Majesty already has such a plan, but I still have to formally raise this condition." After the screen judgment was over, Chen Rui waved his hand, and a piece of paper flew towards Rex lightly. , "This is for His Majesty, let's consider it as an exchange. It should have been clearly written on it, so I don't need to say more."
Rex took the paper and glanced at it, his face changed involuntarily, showing an expression of disbelief: "I don't understand? What exactly do you want?"
Chen Rui pondered for a while, and finally said what he really wanted: "The Robe of Holy Light."
Rex frowned, and raised the paper in his hand: "The Robe of the Holy Light? You really want that thing! What is your relationship with the Church of Light? Since you have the support of the Church and worked hard to manage it The territory has finally reached its current level, why did you make this choice?"
"Everyone has their own ideals and pursuits. In my opinion, what you are obsessed with may not be worthy of nostalgia at all. But what I am obsessed with, you will think is ridiculous and naive." Chen Rui smiled slightly: "I and the church The relationship with you is not what you think, it will be revealed when the time comes."
"I don't understand what your pursuit is, but... you should hand over your bargaining chips after the deal is reached, not before." Rex looked at the plans written on the paper, showing a contemptuous smile, "Now I have already obtained these in advance, so you have no bargaining chips, maybe I will completely eradicate the remaining power of Yun Teng in order to prevent the future troubles of the empire, but why did you get the Holy Light Robe?"
"This is not a deal, but a choice, and a hope." Chen Rui looked at Rex calmly, "I said, it will not shake your rule, it will only make it stronger. This sentence is not perfunctory, but Promises and Wishes - 'Arthur'. Roland to Rex. Roland's."
Rex understood what he meant, and a trace of ignorance flashed across his indifferent eyes. "Deal" is not a vocabulary between father and son. "Choice", "Hope", "Promise", "Wish"... these are the ones.
"Let's stop here for today's conversation. I will take my leave first. I will come here in two months. At that time, I want to see His Majesty's choice."
Chen Rui bowed, turned around and walked towards the gate. After taking two steps, Rex's voice sounded from behind: "Since you said that you want to completely eliminate the power of the Yunteng Empire, do you know that these The remnants also include that... "
"I know, Ziyuan Palace... I will go to the knot myself." Chen Rui paused, "It's not the time yet, but it should be soon..."
After finishing speaking, he strode forward, leaving only Rex sitting on the throne, and slowly tapped the armrest with his index finger, lost in thought.
Chen Rui didn't use stealth or other powers, and walked straight out of the hall under the slightly surprised gazes of the guards along the way. When I passed by Ziyuan Palace, I happened to see that graceful and beautiful woman on the steps at the entrance of the palace.
The sea blue eyes looked at the familiar figure appearing under the moonlight, revealing an unbelievable color.
Even with the identity of Shen Gong, she can know that his disappearance some time ago caused a stir in the whole world, and he actually appeared in the palace today.
Before disappearing, he did something that also surprised the world, refusing to marry at the engagement ceremony.
"I'm sorry, you know who I love, I will not marry you" This original sentence is already known to passers-by.
Who this man 'loves' is also known to passers-by.
When Veronica heard the news, she could only sigh in her heart.
When seeing this figure again now, Veronica is still sighing.
"Little Arthur..." whispered a name behind the veil.
We can't have a future.
No, you still have.
I am long gone.
It was a little surprising that the figure didn't come this way, but continued to walk along the avenue, but his eyes kept looking at her.
They looked at each other and walked over.
That mouth moved slightly, and even if she couldn't hear it, she could tell what those three words were from the shape of her mouth.
wait for me.
Veronica was suddenly in a trance, as if she had returned to the past.
Suddenly, the figure had gradually moved away and disappeared into the moonlight.
