"Wow..."
"You forced me...you forced me...you deserve it!!"
Noyce's eyes were red, and he stabbed the emperor more than a dozen times. After the emperor died completely, he took two steps back and suddenly laughed like a maniac for a long time.
"Are you satisfied, Your Highness the Second Prince?"
A figure appeared from the shadow of the corner, and Noyes, whose face was splattered with blood, slowly turned his head to look at him, showing a ferocious smile to his military adviser.
"Hehe... what do you think..."
Yes, he has never been so happy as he is now...
Neuss was the son of the emperor's concubine, and his mother was the daughter of a baron. She used to be a high-ranking maid in the court. Because of some coincidences, she got the emperor's attention and later became the imperial concubine.
Unlike the crown prince and the third prince, Neuss was blond and blue-eyed, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of the emperor. He was more like his mother, Princess Silena, with the same gray eyes and blue hair.
Because his mother was born in a humble background and he didn't look like the emperor himself, the emperor has always paid little attention to his son, and even loved his younger brother Zhu Jia more than him.
His qualifications are mediocre, but he has been working hard. It's just that no matter how hard he works and what achievements he makes, the emperor will only see the crown prince forever. When he lost to Zelos in the swordsmanship competition for the first time, his father never looked at him again. He always remembered the look in the emperor's eyes at that time—not disappointment, but the kind of unreasonable indifference care.
This deeply stimulated Noyce's self-esteem. Why? Isn't he just unlucky! Lost once? Why not give him another chance!
Zelos is the proud son of heaven, he got the best of everything, even the swordsmanship teacher of the three brothers will only focus on training him. He once thought that if he could get the same training and resources as Zelos, he might not be worse than him.
But now he has figured it out, he doesn't need the emperor's approval at all!
What is that old guy with half his foot in the coffin? He was fed up with being careful, and begged those people to live. As long as I can sit in that position, I don't need to look at anyone's face anymore, on the contrary, everyone should come to please him!
He calculated so much for today.
His younger brother Zhu Jia is a fool who thinks he is smart. He always believes that he has the ability to do better than Zelos, but he just lacks an opportunity.
Zhu Jia is not the same as Neuss. Compared with Neuss, who is usually weak and mediocre, Zhu Jia shows his sharpness.
Crown Prince Zelos always ignored the two brothers, treated them lukewarm, and seemed to have little interest in communicating with them.
Noyce hated this brother more than anyone else, but he was very submissive on the surface. And Zhu Jia never concealed his ambition, and Zelos' tit-for-tat confrontation, trying to compete everywhere. Although he has never been able to beat Zelos in the sword competition, in fact, after Zelos was twelve years old, his sword teacher could no longer teach him anything.
But Zhu Jia believed that the emperor trusted him more than the crown prince, and he believed from the beginning to the end that as long as Zelos was finished, the throne would definitely be in his pocket. Therefore, on the eve of Zelos's upcoming crusade against the Great Priest of the Demon Eye, Noyce instigated it.
Zhu Jia underestimated Noyce's ambition. He never put Noyce in his eyes, but he was instigated by Noyce at that time.
Little did he know that all of this was the idea of Neuss' military adviser.
Red Lotus, the God-favored person of Grandi Continent, found him who was frustrated two years after the Demon Eye appeared in the world, and asked him, who was at a loss, if he would like to save the Astra Empire.
To achieve great goals, there must be a price to pay.
After hesitating, Noyce accepted Red Lotus's invitation to cooperate. In his opinion, there is no problem in letting the gods come to the continent of Asdra. If it can be like the continent of Grandi, there is no need to continue to wage war with monsters, and there is no need to sacrifice soldiers Our lives can be blessed by God, so why not do it
If there is no more war, Crown Prince Zelos will be of little value...
"May the holy light of light protect you."
Guren smiled and saluted Noyce. They reached an agreement, and then everything went very smoothly as it was written in the prophecy.
The crown prince turned into a poor dog in the battle against the magic eye priest, and Zhu Jia fell into the hands of the pig people, and his handsome head was chopped off with a knife. After he was divided and sold, his head became a collection of necromancers.
Noyce is very satisfied with what Honglian conveyed to him. Afterwards, as long as the red dragon that was seriously injured by fighting with the evil dragon was captured and brought back to the imperial capital, he could proceed to the second step in the prophecy.
It's just that Zelos, who had turned into a dog, was brought back.
I don't know why, but he didn't die, and his confidant subordinates recognized him, detected the energy reaction of the crown prince on the dog, and eliminated the curse cast by the magic eye priest in the research institute, turning him back into a dog. Prototype.
This made Noyce feel very flustered and uneasy.
If Zelos hadn't returned, the emperor had lost two sons and he was the only one left who could become crown prince and inherit the throne in the future.
But this foiled his plans. Noyce asked Guren very angrily why it was different from the predicted prediction, but Guren replied that even if the details of the process changed, there would still be only one result.
No matter how great efforts humans make to change their destiny, it is futile, just like throwing a brick into a lake, it will only produce ripples. God has already laid out the chess game, and Guren told him that he will only be the emperor of the empire in the end.
"What should we do next? The woman who was originally a chess piece is dead, will our god revive her next?"
Noyce wiped the blood off his face, leaned against the wall and looked at Honglian gloomyly, "The fake daughter of the Duke of Barendfa's family is pretty good looking, I like that kind of ambitious woman, marry her There is nothing wrong with being an imperial concubine. It's just that she has completely ruined her reputation now, and the Duke of Barendfa has also put aside his relationship with her, what are you going to do?"
"It's really a bit difficult now, especially when our other chess piece refuses to obey at all... The performance of the little lady is really surprising."
Honglian squinted her eyes, staring at the red dragon getting closer and closer outside the palace, and smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled up.
Noyce was a little irritable, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "So? Didn't you say that even if the process changed a little, the result would still be the same?"
"Although it is true to say that, after all, His Majesty the Emperor also suffered an assassination death as predicted, although His Highness did it himself."
Honglian glanced at Noyce coolly, grinned and said, "You're right, it's on the verge of getting out of control now, God didn't instruct me what to do next, what I originally wanted to do here was to execute It's just the content of the prophecy, maybe now I have to make my own decision... "
"Don't talk like it's none of your business!"
Noyce was suddenly furious, pushed Honglian to the wall, glared fiercely at the man who was still acting like a fool, and said, "It's come to this point, and you still want to get out? I will cooperate with you and put The empire has become like this, and even killed the emperor, but now you want to leave me alone?! You found me by yourself! You have done everything you asked, don’t forget you promised me !"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, don't be so nervous Your Highness, I have no intention of letting go."
Guren grabbed Noyce's wrist, and in his shocked and humiliated eyes, forcibly broke his hand away.
"I didn't ask you to kill the emperor. In the final analysis, this is a game of your own. Since it is your own choice, you must be prepared to bear the possible price of failure."
"you!!"
Noyce gritted his teeth, wishing to tear the man in front of him to pieces.
Guren looked at the sky outside the window and sighed softly, showing a sad and helpless expression.
"Then next, Your Highness, I need you to do one thing for me, and I believe you can do it."
"What?" Noyce looked at him defensively, "Don't try to play tricks..."
"Of course not. If you still want to continue to try, please open the empire's triple barrier shield for me."
"Are you crazy? You asked me to close the protective cover. Isn't this a dead end?! In case of being invaded... What's more, those people will not agree with me to do this!" Noyce withdrew his hand, like Looking at him like hell.
"The emperor is dead, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become an enemy of the people. You will be the next heir to the throne. This is not difficult for you now."
Hong Lian looked at Noyce with a steady smile and said, "If you don't close the barrier, how can our gods come to this land? Although I can temporarily become the carrier of the gods... But if you want the greatness For the gods to truly descend on the land of the empire, people still need the power of faith, so when that dragon destroys your city, please pray with your heart—”
"Wait, wait a minute...!"
Before Noyce could answer, Guren's whole body began to emit a blazing white light.
"After all, it is also my mission to complete the great task bestowed by God..."
He murmured to himself, seeming a little sad. Then his whole body was completely surrounded by white light, he spread his wings of light, and flew out of the palace like a shooting star.
…
"coming."
The red dragon hovered over the palace, and when Luya on the dragon's back saw the favored man, her nerves tensed instantly. She has a weapon in her hand, which is the imperial-style special demon sword given to her by the crown prince. It is said that the soul of a demon is locked inside. It was once defeated by him and sent back to the Imperial Research Institute. After the scientists refined the soul, the knife was forged, which has greater lethality than ordinary blades.
When the divinely favored person rushed towards them, Luya felt the knife in her hand suddenly vibrate violently, and an extremely dangerous force began to move around, as if it was about to break through the shackles.
"Be careful."
The red dragon reminded Luya behind him, "He released his power, this man summoned a god on his body."
"I know, it's just in time. I have long wanted to teach those bastards a lesson. It's unforgivable to play us as pawns for so long!"
Lu Ya clenched the vibrating demon knife tightly, stared at the figure of the favored man who seemed to have turned into an inhuman thing, and shouted loudly.
"Fight, Farus! We are not slaves to fate! From now on, it's up to you and me to create our own stories!"
