The Shadow of The Beginning

Chapter 270: Regicide and Kunlun

Views:

"Written by the late Emperor William I of Prussia.

If necessary, Bismarck would exercise his right to depose Frederick III from the throne.

The following are the three sins that made Frederick III unfit for the throne!!!"

Bismarck's righteous roar frightened Frederick so much that he couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand.

The wine and the fragments of the glass were scattered all over the floor, and Frederick stood up suddenly.

"The first crime: murdering my biological father and plotting to seize the throne.

Tests on the body of the late Emperor William I revealed a large amount of mercury poison caused by long-term use of the "tonic" given by Frederick.

In order to seize power, Frederick even spared no effort on his own elderly father. He is so cruel!

The second crime: poisoning the powerful and affecting national strength.

On the day of the birthday banquet, the royal sea dragon fish slices eaten by the invited dignitaries contained poison, and all the guests present who had eaten the royal sea dragon fish slices were poisoned.

The reason is that they are colluding with Coreya, the head of the pseudo-charity organization EOD. The force behind EOD is the mysterious Cthulhu sect that believes in the evil god.

The Cthulhu sect has sent out dangerous elements on many occasions, affecting social stability and causing numerous heavy casualties.

The third crime: murdering members of the mysterious Bureau of Investigation who secretly protect the safety of our citizens.

This organization was established six hundred years ago, secretly fighting against the evil gods or evil creatures on the mysterious side, protecting us humans to this day.

Rhodes, a core member of the organization, was burned to death on Wellington Street the day before by soldiers sent by Frederick III on the false charge of treason.

To sum up, the current Prussian Emperor Frederick III is no longer fit to be king.

He disregarded the lives of the people and only cared about abusing his power, so he executed the handwriting of the late emperor, our country's founding monarch, William I, and dismissed Frederick! "

Bismarck read out the three sins described in the document with great enthusiasm.

In addition to Frederick's three sins, this document also contained various intelligence, big and small, collected by Bismarck.

Every piece of information was related to what Frederick had done, and all the officials present were smart people.

As long as you calm down and read it, you can see that what is written in Bismarck's book is the truth. Bismarck even still holds the secret operation order left by his predecessor Emperor William I.

Judging from the handwriting, it can be seen that it is definitely the handwriting that William I left to Bismarck, and William I's complex and sloppy signature further confirms this.

Frederick stood up, walked quickly forward and grabbed the collar of Bismarck's military uniform.

"Bismarck!!! Are you going to rebel?!!!!"

After saying this, he raised his fist, ready to hit Bismarck in the face.

Bismarck did not move at all, but just stood there, looking at Frederick's expression distorted by anger with his eyes.

Frederick swung his fist and hit Bismarck hard in the face.

"Bah, if I wanted to rebel, I would have sat on the throne long ago."

Bismarck contemptuously spat the blood and broken teeth in his mouth into Frederick III's face.

"Where is the captain of the palace guard?!"

Frederick shouted loudly.

Then, the captain of the palace guards walked in from the main gate fully armed and came up to the two people who were confronting each other.

"Dismiss Bismarck, who defamed the royal family, and drag him away and beat him to death!!!"

Frederick shouted loudly to the captain of the palace guard.

The captain of the palace guards calmly wiped the saliva that Frederick had sprayed on his face, and bowed respectfully to Bismarck.

"Mr. Prime Minister, may I borrow your permission to watch the late emperor's surgery?"

"Take it. After today, this letter will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.

I was the last person to see old William since the late emperor's death, and the one who delivered the handwritten letter was one of your men. You will know whether it is authentic or not at a glance."

After saying that, Bismarck handed over the handwritten letter left by William.

Frederick's face changed and he wanted to snatch the letter from Bismarck's hand, but several guards under the captain of the palace guard held Frederick back.

"Excuse me, Lord Frederick."

The captain of the palace guards said softly.

The captain of the palace guard, who had served the royal family for many years, had also had a long-term friendship with Bismarck, and the tone and handwriting of old William in the letter were consistent.

Bismarck stood up straight, smoothed his collar which had just been wrinkled by Frederick, and waited quietly for the next move of the captain of the palace guard.

Before today's action, Bismarck had already thought of all the countermeasures.

If successful, Frederick would have to abdicate; if unsuccessful, he would just go down with a smile to accompany Lodz and Shadow who were waiting for him.

Disbanding the faction under his command would prevent them from being implicated in today's actions.

But whether successful or not, Bismarck understood that he would be burdened with an infamy that would be difficult to wash away in history.

After the captain of the palace guard confirmed the authenticity of the handwriting, he took a printed letter of accountability from Bismarck from an official next to him.

He read it carefully, and the more he read, the gloomier his face became.

The captain of the palace guards exhaled, then turned to Bismarck and said,

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are still too kind."

He turned around, drew his sword, and placed the tip of the blade on Frederick's neck.

"What are you going to do?! Are you also going to listen to Bismarck's nonsense and use it against me?!!"

Frederick looked at the cold light in his throat and asked tremblingly.

"Have you never looked in the mirror to see what you have become?"

Bismarck asked coldly,

“What normal person would have fangs like you

What normal person would have scales like those on your hands

What normal person would grow cheeks from his neck

No matter how much powder you put on your face, you can only cover up the most basic facial features.

Your hair is falling out more and more. Do you think you can still rule this country as a human?"

Bismarck's three questions, spoken at an extremely fast pace, touched Frederick's heart, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on Frederick's forehead, feeling guilty.

"But I am still the emperor! I am the son of William I!"

Frederick shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Useless struggle."

The captain of the palace guards shook his head softly and said.

The sword passed, but what spurted out of Frederick's throat was not bright red blood.

His blood has begun to change color, and he is no longer a simple human being.

"I will bear the infamy of regicide."

The captain of the palace guards spoke loudly to all the officials in the palace.

“No, we don’t need to make it public.”

Bismarck shook his head and stopped the captain of the palace guard who was about to draw his sword and commit suicide.

"We held a grand funeral that shocked the whole country; after all, he was William's child.

Leave him a little bit of dignity."

After saying this, Bismarck clapped his hands.

The medical team that had been waiting outside the door for a long time came in and bowed to Bismarck.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what should we do?"

"The matter of Innsmouth Syndrome cannot be leaked.

Everyone present had to sign a confidentiality agreement, and anyone who violated it would suffer the wrath of both the old man and the court.

Secondly, it was announced that Frederick III had died of throat cancer; it made sense that a silver breathing tube had been inserted into his throat.

Everyone, do you understand? "

After Bismarck finished speaking, everyone present fell silent and could only quietly accept the fact that the new emperor was dead.

Bismarck waved his hand impatiently and walked out with his hands behind his back.

The autumn sun did bring warmth, but it could not take away the chill in his heart.

His straightened back relaxed, and a slight cough brought out a trickle of blood.

All the officials stood quietly at the door looking at the prime minister who had witnessed the change of two emperors. When they looked at his back, they no longer saw iron and blood, but only endless loneliness and vicissitudes.

Bismarck laughed at himself, turned around and shouted to the officials,

"Why are you still standing there? The Year of the Three Emperors has arrived."

The phrase "The Youth of the Three Emperors" lightly swept away the hustle and bustle of the year, and the phrase "The Year of the Three Emperors" opened a new chapter, but Bismarck himself knew that it was almost time.

——

The charging herd of beasts stopped running wildly, and under the leadership of Silas, they finally arrived at the snow-capped mountains in front of them.

The number of animals in the herd is much smaller than when they crossed the river, but there is a will to survive in their eyes.

Only when you stand at the foot of the mountain can you see the majesty of the mountain in front of you.

The mountain was so high that the top was invisible and covered with layers of white snow. When many fireballs seemed to be about to hit the mountain, a force from nowhere pushed them away.

“Is this a sacred mountain blessed by the gods?”

Silas rode on the wild boar Dang Kang and talked to himself.

After saying this, Silas shook his head in self-mockery.

"What kind of god would be so indifferent?"

When Kang Lingdong gave Silas a look with his little eyes, he seemed to despise him a little.

Kang Mai moved his four strong legs and walked ahead step by step.

We walked to a canyon in the mountains, and found a staircase leading directly to the top of the mountain.

At the entrance to the stairs, there is a large stone tablet next to it.

Silas came to the stone tablet and gently wiped the snow off the tablet with his hand.

There were two large characters written on the stone tablet, but Silas did not recognize the origin of the characters.

The square characters are composed of one stroke at a time. Different from the hieroglyphics that use images to express, these two characters seem to have unique symbolic meanings.

Kunlun.

Silas thought carefully about the meaning of these two words, but could not comprehend their charm.

He just felt that these two words should symbolize a very profound Zen meaning.

For some reason, he jumped off Dang Kang.

His intuition told him that he should walk up with his own legs.

The long climb was dull and boring, and the temperature dropped as we went higher.

Standing on the steps leading to the sacred mountain, one can see that the lush green forests around have all turned into a sea of fire.

Thick smoke spread all around and drifted towards the sky, but the only place that was not affected was the sacred mountain.

I felt a sense of luck in my heart. If I had chosen another path at that time, I would have been buried in the sea of fire.

Before reaching the summit, the animals suppressed their own natures. They seemed to understand the grandeur of this sacred mountain better than themselves.

Not a single roar from any of the animals occurred; they all remained silent.

Although some animals are already exhausted, others will help in times of crisis.

A strange harmony spreads across this sacred mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a fork in the stairs.

One continued upwards, while the other spread toward the plane.

The end of the plane is a corner, and it is not possible to tell what the end of the path along the cliff is.

Silas saw that many animals looked very tired. It was obviously impossible to reach the summit in one go, so he stopped at this fork in the road.

"Let's take a break."

Silas patted Dang Kang's pig ears gently, and Dang Kang was so tired that he lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Touching Dang Kang's fur can help keep you warm to a certain extent. Its body is soft and fluffy, which is better than leaning against a cold cliff.

During the short stop, Silas felt sleepy.

The irony is that everywhere outside the sacred mountain is like purgatory, but right now all I want to do is take a nap.

The animals huddled together for warmth; many had already fallen asleep, while others were yawning and about to fall asleep.

The cold wind from the mountain brought waves of bone-chilling cold.

Silas saw in a daze that the sleeping animals turned into ice sculptures. Thinking of this, he was impressed by the incredible nature, but at the same time, when this thought flashed through his mind, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

"Can't sleep!"

Silas twisted his thigh hard.

The severe pain woke him up suddenly.

He opened his eyes wide and clearly saw that the sleeping animals had turned into living ice sculptures.

He stood up and immediately patted the other animals that were still asleep.

The animals almost attacked Silas because of the pain, but when they realized the terrible situation, they looked at Silas with gratitude.

"Dang Kang! We have to keep going."

Silas whispered to himself.

Instead of dragging his tired body to the top immediately, Silas chose the fork that led to the flat surface.

The animals lined up in neat rows, one in front of another, walking carefully on the narrow path.

One mountain cat was so sleepy while walking that it accidentally fell off the mountain.

The hoarse roars echoed in the mountains, but Silas was powerless to do anything and could only watch its figure disappear in the clouds and smoke at the foot of the mountain.

Once you turn the corner, the view in front of you is amazing.

It was a place like a paradise.

Although it is hidden in a crack, it is warm as spring inside.

Many big trees surround a crescent-shaped lake in the center, and the ground is covered with green grass and flowers of various colors.

The air was filled with sweet floral scents, and in the lake, fish with silvery-white scales were swimming.

The trees by the lake are full of juicy, sweet fruits, while butterflies and bees are flying and playing among the flowers.

The scenery everywhere is absolutely beautiful and harmonious, and the creatures here seem to be in a perfect symbiosis.

Silas walked to the tree, picked a fruit and put it in his mouth.

The flesh is fragrant, refreshing and delicious.

Silas said in astonishment.

“This is real.”
