A king with a different surname
Douger looked at Prince Nelson.
At this time, you are still dreaming of making promises for me. Are you so naive
Grand Duke Lynch looked at Nelson as if he were an idiot.
Prince Nelson was completely unaware that anything was wrong. He smiled slightly and continued to fight for his chance: "Holly, there is no benefit in killing me. It will also arouse my father's anger and lead to war. But if you let me go, you will have a legitimate status as a king of a different surname. You can easily get everything you want, as well as my friendship..."
"Prince Nelson, I am not fighting for profit, I am fighting for justice and fairness. If I were to give up my persistence and cooperate with a person of despicable character for the sake of profit, I would be unable to sleep or eat."
Doug ignored Nelson's expression and said righteously, "Yesterday in prison, I learned a truth: it is better to take the straight path than to seek the crooked path. Nelson, when you truly understand my beliefs and give up the petty and calculating thoughts in your heart, you will be qualified to have an equal dialogue with me.
What you should do most now is to confess your sins to the public and cleanse your heart step by step..."
"..." Prince Nelson's mouth twitched violently for a few times, "Holly, if you do this, you will offend all the nobles. Without their help, even if you defeat Grand Duke Lynch, you will not be able to rule his territory."
"Nelson, they have promised to help me clear my name!" Doug smiled. "I am a tolerant person and will give everyone a chance to reform. They will sincerely help me manage my territory."
"Yes, Prince Nelson, we will help King Holly manage the territory and govern the country." The active earl said, "It is an honor for me to follow such a noble and upright king."
"Me too." The others echoed.
"I see." Doug smiled and straightened his body. "Nelson, don't be stubborn. Even the most evil people have a bit of kindness and softness in their hearts. Show this kindness. When you walk on the street, people will look at you with eyes no longer filled with fear, but will give you the most sincere smile. Children will be willing to give you the candy in their hands. Isn't this a good life?"
Stupid and childish!
Nelson complained in his heart, this world is inherently dark, if your subordinates are all this kind of people, sooner or later you will be eaten up...
Grand Duke Lynch looked at Nelson and shook his head secretly. He was so childish. You can't just look at what he said, you have to look at what he did!
"Prince Nelson, time is running out." Douger frowned slightly, "If you insist on not changing your ways, then use your hot blood to cleanse your sins!"
Nelson's face changed, and he quickly said: "Holly, I am willing to testify for you..."
"Very good, Your Highness." Douger looked at him and smiled, "According to the plan of Grand Duke Lynch and I, you played the most dishonorable role in this whole incident..."
…
There was a huge crowd in front of the guillotine.
Everyone was looking forward to the beheading of the infamous scumbag Holly.
A farmer on crutches looked at the guillotine with gritted teeth, his eyes cold and his fists clenched tightly.
Next to him was a pitiful mother and son, who kept looking behind the guillotine, hoping that the scum would appear.
Not far from them, a young woman with a veil on her face was also looking in the direction of the guillotine.
Her face was covered by a veil, but her eyebrows were not covered, and ugly scars were vaguely visible. Her eyes were full of hatred, mixed with a hint of pain and relief.
In the crowd.
There are many similar people who have been tortured by Holly...
…
"Jack, that scumbag is finally going to die."
"Yes, I have finally waited for this day. When his head is chopped off, I will step hard on his corpse to vent my anger for so many years."
"I'm afraid that's unlikely. They won't let you insult a corpse. That scumbag is still a noble even after his death."
"But his family has clearly been exiled."
"The nobles want to preserve their dignity. They are afraid that one day they will be sent to the guillotine. Protecting the corpses of others is protecting their own corpses."
"Have you heard? The scum Holly is actually a good man. He has a precognitive spirit. Those who are tortured by him will actually encounter more serious disasters. Do you know the farmer whose leg was broken? If Holly hadn't broken his leg, he would have fallen into the pond and drowned the next day."
"I've heard about that, too. And the woman whose face was broken by him using a horsewhip. But I think these are all fake. Someone must be whitewashing that scumbag."
"But who would do that? The father who protected him has been exiled, and he will be beheaded today. There is no point in him doing this."
"Who knows what's going on? Anyway, I don't believe those rumors. He obviously has a better way to help others."
"The funniest thing is that the people who spread the rumor said that Holly insulted Seema Lynch in order to stop a war, and that the genius magic girl was a whore who was available to anyone. If it weren't for Holly, her fiancé would have discovered his misconduct and would have eventually started a war because of her..."
"Haha, if Holly is a good person, then I am the greatest saint in the world."
"Yes, if saving a person means that he will suffer more pain, then I would rather accept the arrangement of fate."
"If all the good people in the world are like Holly, let them all go to hell! The devil will like them, hahahaha..."
"I'm coming!"
"Damn it, am I dazzled? Why isn't Holly wearing prison clothes? He should be accompanied by Grand Duke Lynch!"
"I have a bad feeling that Holly may not die today."
"I knew that those rumors would not spread without reason. These damn nobles, they always protect each other..."
…
"Kill Holly."
"Send Holly to the guillotine."
"Cut off that scumbag's head..."
…
When Duger and others walked up to the guillotine, the crowd, realizing that something was wrong, suddenly broke into a huge riot.
The crowd was excited.
Everyone was shouting for Holly's death.
Obviously.
Holly aroused public anger and no one wanted him to be alive.
If he is alive, it means that justice will no longer exist, more people will be harmed, and ordinary people will never have a chance to rise.
…
Nelson stood behind Holly with a smile on his face.
This scumbag has done too many bad things. In this situation, I'm afraid no one will listen to his explanation. He wants to see how Holly ends up.
Douger stood right in front of the guillotine, looking at the angry crowd, and suddenly revealed his martial spirit. The vast ocean immediately submerged the entire crowd. The waves surged, and many people lost their balance and fell into the sea.
However, Wuhun is not real sea water, so no one will drown or get injured.
But after the people saw Duger's martial spirit, their anger disappeared in an instant and turned into fear.
For a while.
There was total silence in front of the guillotine.
Doug used the levitation technique on himself. Driven by the air element, he slowly rose into the air. He then used the water element to condense a ball of mist behind his head, allowing the sunlight to refract into a rainbow behind his head, making his floating body look sacred and solemn.
After a series of operations, Doug looked down at the crowd and said loudly: "I am Holly Alaus, the scum you all said you wanted to execute. Unfortunately, I can't die today. This is your misfortune.
But this is also your luck, because you will live with a Holly who has restored his original self, who is humble, kind, brave, fair, frank, upright, equal, and friendly..."
People looked up at Doug in the sky bathing in the sun, listened to the beautiful words he used to describe himself, and their eyes were filled with despair and sadness.
"I know you don't believe what I said, but this is the truth." Doug said, "I used to believe in having a clear conscience, keeping a low profile, doing good deeds without leaving a name, and silently protecting you. I also planned to take everything I carried into the grave.
But a wise man named Li En enlightened me and made me realize that I couldn't die yet. If I died, there would be no one to protect you in this world. So, I sincerely prayed to the gods in heaven to give me hope.
So last night, when I was most desperate in my life, the great sea god heard my call and gave me a powerful martial soul and the magic power to control all elements, so that I can walk upright in the world and benefit mankind.
God knows what you did.
The eyes of mortals may not see the truth, but the eyes of gods cannot be blinded. Only they know that I have a heart of gold, so they gave me divine power and a chance to be reborn. If you don't believe me, don't you believe in the sea god?"
Under the influence of the Seagod's martial spirit, people were whispering to each other, obviously interested.
yes!
God is omnipotent.
Holly might be able to deceive them, but he couldn't deceive the gods, could he
Only those who had been hurt by Holly still looked upon him with hatred.
The pain is on them.
They did not feel any warmth or care from Holly. All Holly brought them was endless pain.
"I was weak before. I was afraid that my ability would be exposed and I would be retaliated by the God of Disaster." Doug sighed and continued, "After all, everything I did was to prevent the God of Disaster from exerting his power. At that time, I could only pretend to be submissive and fight against the God of Disaster in my own way. In order to save those who were favored by the God of Disaster, I brought disaster and pain to them in my own way, but I didn't dare to let you know the truth, and I didn't even dare to rescue you afterwards.
So, those who have been hurt by me, it is right for you to hate me.
But compared to you, I hate myself more. I hate my weakness, my incompetence, and my fear of not being able to fight. I am afraid that other nobles will laugh at me for helping the common people, so I can only use the dude to cover myself up.
Only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep will I confess my sins alone.
So, to those who have been hurt by me, please allow me to express my most sincere apologies here. I'm sorry that I failed to protect you.
I know that a simple apology cannot heal the wounds in your hearts. Therefore, I decided to use the best magic to heal your injuries and use enough money to make up for the mistakes I have made. Everyone can stay and witness it..."
The crowd was shocked.
The farmer with a crutch and the woman with a veil looked up at Holly in the sky in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.
this moment.
Their hearts filled with hatred loosened unconsciously.
If it was the previous Holly who said these words, not only would they not believe it, they would also stay away from him. But now, Holly has such powerful strength and said such words, which is enough to show his sincerity.
They are just a group of insignificant civilians. Holly has a ten-star martial spirit. Even if he never pays attention to them again, they will never seek revenge on him in their lifetime...
Could it be that what Holly said was true
Was he really fighting against the God of Disaster and was forced to hurt them
…
"... Now, I have the power given by the Sea God. I am no longer afraid of the God of Disaster." Douger clenched his fists. "So, I stood up and told everyone openly that I will protect you in an upright way. I want to be a king, a king who protects the people, not oppresses them..."
"King Holly."
"King Holly."
In the crowd.
Those followers who were brought out of prison by Doug suddenly raised their arms and shouted.
They were scattered in every corner of the crowd, and under their influence, more and more people were infected and joined the momentum of "King Holly".
People believe in gods, believe in promises, and believe even more in the strong.
Most of the people are very simple. They don’t know anything else. They only know that there is no need for a strong man with a ten-star martial spirit to make these promises to them.
Holly only needs to show his martial spirit to easily gain status and wealth.
…
Doug's reputation soared like a rocket, and more and more people believed the unverifiable stories he made up.
…
Doug reached down and pressed down.
The cheers gradually died down.
Douger looked at Grand Duke Lynch and said loudly: "Duke Lynch, please confess your sins to the people."
"… "
Grand Duke Linqi's face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Doug in surprise. You have conquered those ignorant people with your eloquence, why do you want me to stand up
“Duke, this is your last chance.” Doug frowned, “I need a group of honest and upright officials under my command, so your previous crimes must be made public, and your future life will be a pardon for your sins.
In the days ahead, your every word and action will be monitored by the public. If you do evil again, I will rain down my wrath and give you the most severe punishment..."
I didn’t mention this before!
Grand Duke Lynch opened his eyes wide, his old face turned red, and he said nothing.
"Gao, Lien, raise the guillotine." Doug ordered. He looked at Grand Duke Lin Qi with a stern face. "If you don't even dare to face your own sins, I find it hard to believe that you will sincerely protect the people..."
Old Gao and Lien excitedly raised the trapezoidal blade of the guillotine.
Below the execution platform, the people fell silent again.
At this time, they completely believed that Holly was real, and no one dared to use the guillotine against the Duke, which was equivalent to declaring war on the nobles.
Grand Duke Lynch clenched his fists tightly.
"Duke, are you going to give up this opportunity?" Doug asked seriously. At the same time, a stream of water quietly wrapped around the Duke's legs under his wide robe. "Ole, Lasse, send the Duke to the guillotine."
Grand Duke Lynch's eyes widened and he looked at Doug suddenly.
Doug was unmoved.
A trace of bitterness flashed across Grand Duke Lynch's face. He took a deep breath and suddenly closed his eyes: "I am guilty. His Majesty Lucerne was suspicious of me. I planned to rebel, overthrow Lucerne's rule, and become king myself. In order to sever the relationship between Nelson and Sima, I used the banquet to frame King Holly..."
"I am guilty. My disciple Stephen Gao researched the instantaneous principle of mixed magic, but I took it for myself and sent Stephen Gao to jail..."
…
With Lin Qi's public appearance, the remaining nobles no longer cared about their reputation.
They realized that Doug was playing a serious game with them, and if they didn't confess their sins, the guillotine would really fall on their necks.
Although I don’t know why Holly, who possesses great power, would want to please a group of ordinary people.
But at this time, they were already in a difficult situation.
…
"I am guilty. I used my noble status to forcibly annex many lands that did not belong to me..."
"I am guilty. I added my own taxes on top of His Majesty Lucerne's taxes..."
"I am guilty. For my own selfish interests, I forced an entire village to become my slaves..."
"I'm guilty… "
…
One crime after another was revealed from the mouths of these frightened nobles.
Of course, these nobles are all smart people. The sins they can name are all carefully chosen. They dare not say anything about the truly dirty and shameful things.
They were afraid that if they spoke out, they would be torn to pieces by the angry civilians in the audience.
Despite this, the breathing of the people below the execution platform became increasingly heavy.
They couldn't imagine that these glamorous nobles actually did so many heinous things behind the scenes.
Even Prince Nelson has secretly killed people...
Compared with them.
The bad boy Holly is really as cute as an angel. He actually confesses the mistakes he made.
Moreover, after Holly gained power, the first thing he did was not to seek benefits for himself, but to arrest all the nobles and try them for their crimes.
This is the person favored by the gods!
If only all the nobles in the world were as upright and kind as Holly...
Let His Majesty Lucerne die, let the nobles die.
They need a king like Holly, who is the only one who truly cares about the people...
"King Holly, judge them and send them to the guillotine."
Someone shouted, and suddenly a chorus of angry voices rang out, drowning out the voices of the nobles who were recounting their crimes on the execution platform.
Grand Duke Lynch and others turned pale in an instant.
Sima Lynch, who had been silent, tightly grasped the staff in his hand, looking inexplicably flustered.
She had experienced so many things today that her previous worldview had been completely overturned. She had never thought that the world she lived in was so dirty and dark...
…
If you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away!
Integrity and the like are always determined by comparison. Amid the excitement, Doug looked at his flashing personal panel.
At this time, an additional skill appeared on the panel:
Impartiality: When you initiate a judgment, the target will actively confess their sins.
