Chapter 1: Winners and Losers
Win or lose. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoVictory means infinite brilliance, while defeat means death. No matter what era it is, this is a truth that those who seek to be the leader of a country deeply understand.
How can you allow others to sleep peacefully beside the couch?
It's a pity that the royal power is limited and cannot be distributed to others casually. Otherwise, why should brothers fight in the same room? In vain, they will make themselves no one and no ghost, and bear the charge of killing their relatives for the rest of their lives. Of course, there is naturally a lot of helplessness in this, and it is more accurate to say that it is to make people happy.
Sitting up from his bed, Charlie woke up in a nightmare.
"I don't know how many times it's been!" Charlie muttered, bursting into tears, "Brother Wang, I know I'm sorry for you, but I really can't help it!"
Slowly stopping his pathos and fear, Charlie stepped out of his bed and walked out of the room.
"Anyone?" Facing the empty palace, Charlie shouted loudly, with a bit of poignancy in his voice.
"Here we are!" heard the king's voice, and the two guards answered hurriedly, and ran towards Charles in a little panic.
"What about the people in this room?" cried Charlie, his voice full of questions and fear.
The two guards looked at each other and hesitated for a long time before one of them mustered up the courage to remind King Charles: "Your Majesty, didn't all the people who served Your Majesty in this house be killed by Your Majesty yesterday?"
A sentence was like a stone thrown into the water, and King Charles's face turned pale in an instant.
"I'm going to kill all the people who betrayed me!" cried Charlie hysterically. "You bastards, all of them can't be trusted, and you're all thinking about how to hurt me!"
"I'm going to kill you!" Charlie shouted twice, and the two guards beside him lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Shouting, Charlie ran back to his room, trying to find a weapon in his hand from the house, but he didn't find anything. When he turned around to look for the two guards, he found that they were long gone.
In the corridors of the palace, two guards fled frantically into the place where the steward was.
"In such a panic, is His Majesty the King sick again?" the leader of the guards looked at the two guards calmly, as if everything was expected.
"Yes, His Majesty has gone mad again!" said one of the guards.
"Close all the doors in the palace and don't let His Majesty run around!" The leader of the guards glared at the guard who had just spoken, and then turned to one of the guards beside him and ordered: "Go and ask the Bishop to come over, and say that His Majesty is sick again." ā
The guards were ordered to leave the room in a hurry.
Soon, a mage in a black magic robe came to the palace, surrounded by the guards.
"What about His Majesty?" asked the black-clothed mage leisurely.
"His Majesty is inside!" the leader of the Guards led the black-clad mage to open one door after another, and finally saw King Charles in disheveled clothes in the king's bedchamber.
"I heard that His Majesty the King is not in good health, and this mage has come to visit him personally!" the black-clothed mage stared at King Charlie with a look of embarrassment, his tone full of contempt.
"Mage, big~ good!" King Charles saw that the black-clothed mage seemed to regain his senses.
"Your Majesty forgot to take your medicine!" the black-clad mage turned and motioned for the guards to bring the golden bottle he had brought forward.
The guard carefully handed over the gold bottle in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is the potion I have prepared for you, please enjoy!" the black-clad mage took the golden bottle from the guards and walked towards King Charlie.
"I ......" King Charles took the golden bottle with a shrunken face as if wilted, and hesitantly picked it up.
"Your Majesty, please!" the black-clad mage made a "please!" gesture, a terrifying smile on his face.
"I ......," said King Charles, drinking the potion with tears in his eyes. After a while, the sadness on his face disappeared, and his gaze became dull.
"This is a potion specially prepared by this mage to heal His Majesty's illness, and as you have all seen, His Majesty is in much better spirits after eating the potion. In the future, you will be responsible for ensuring that His Majesty takes the medicine on time!" the black-clothed mage turned his face to look at the guards and said leisurely. The Guards looked at each other, and the leader of the Guards took the lead.
"Okay, that's it for today, you take care of King Charlie, and come back to me if you have something!" the black-clothed mage had a nonchalant expression.
The guards flashed a path, and the black-clad mage passed through the guards and left the palace surrounded by the crowd.
Outside the palace, the leader of the Guards watched the black-clad mage leave, and led the guards back to the palace.
"Go and see His Majesty!" sighed the leader of the Guards.
In the palace, King Charles sat on his bed like a stone statue motionless, with tears on his face.
"Why bother in the first place if you knew it was today?" said the leader of the Guards with a serious expression and a little sadness.
"You must take care of Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is thirsty and hungry, I will ask you!"
"Yes!" replied the guards.
"One more thing, if His Majesty doesn't get sick, you don't have to give him potions, you know?"
"Understood!" the guards replied, staring at each other.
The leader of the Guards left the king's chamber with a serious face.
In the afternoon of the same day, on the border of the Peacock Country, a carriage fell from the sky and stopped, and Dumb and his party made a little repair on the prairie.
"The scenery is really good, I didn't expect there to be such an endless meadow. Anne looked excited to see the surroundings a little new.
"This place is a place where birds don't poop. The blue-robed earth mage stood next to Lillian, still wearing a mask, and no one could see his expression.
"The Peacock Kingdom is one of the most powerful countries in the world, and its land area is also very large. If it weren't for the endless grasslands that stopped their progress, their land would have continued to expand. ā
Lilian listened to the blue-robed mage's words, and seemed to remember something, and looked at the endless grassland.
"Mr. Wolf Wind, if we go any further, will we go to my home country?"
Hearing this, the blue-robed mage turned his head to look at Lilian, "Did you feel homesick after leaving home?"
"I miss home all the time, but that home will never come back. Mr. Wolf Wind: Actually, I'm conflicted, because our opponent is my uncle. Lillian looked at the green grass around her, and then turned to Anne, who was standing beside her.
"You don't have to dwell on that! what you're going through is nothing compared to other people. The Wolf Wind Mage said in a dull voice.
Lillian turned her face to look at the strange blue-robed mage.
"You don't need to hesitate about anything. Since your uncle is so ruthless that he poisoned your father, you don't need to think about the old feelings anymore. The world is so cruel that only those who adapt can survive. The blue-robed mage finished speaking, and turned to walk towards the carriage.
"There's no time for us to sigh about life here! Let's hurry up and get something to eat, and we'll be on our way in a moment. With that, the blue-robed mage got into the carriage.
"Lilian, let's go back and get something to eat, too!" Anne reminded when she saw that Lilian was a little stunned.
Lillian came to her senses and got into the carriage with Anne.
There is actually a hole in the carriage. After snatching four horses from the demons, the black dwarves worked with the skilled craftsmen of the Cult of the Celestial Gods to build the carriage.
Inside, the black dwarf uses elven magic, which he does best. After entering the carriage, a door can be seen. When this door is opened, there is a hall inside, and there are doors around it that lead to other places. There is also a spiral staircase leading up to the first floor.
Anne and Lillian were now in the hall, and Dumb was sitting on the floor playing with the black cat.
"Prepare yourself, we're going to have dinner!" said the blue-robed mage to the three of them. Walk to a side door, behind which Tenya, dressed in green, is handing out food to the plates.
Following the blue-robed mage, Anne and Lillian entered the room.
"Are we going to eat any more of this?" said Lillian, looking at the bloody food on her plate.
"I'm still the same as in the morning, I don't have a very appetite. As a member of the Celestial Cult, I don't eat meat. Anne made her point very serious.
"Whatever you say, I'm still the same in the morning, although we are members of the Celestial God Cult, we are not ordinary believers. We are warriors defending the Celestial Cult, and we are doing the business of licking blood at the tip of a knife. Eating raw things is just an experience for you. If you only think about your own purity, and you don't have the consciousness to go to hell for the sake of the world, then you can't fight against the devil. The woman in green looked at it and said easily.
"I won't eat!" Anne insisted on her position, although she felt cold from hunger at this time, Anne's will was still strong.
"What about you, don't you eat like her?" said Green-clad Tenya looked at Lillian.
"I ...... Don't eat. After a difficult struggle, Lillian chose to side with Annie.
"Whoosh!" Dumb sat at the table and ate very calmly.
"Jakes......" Anne shouted, then shook her head helplessly.
Dumb didn't care about this, and ate a lot of food, and ate Anne and Lilian's portions.
The woman in green and the mage in blue robe left the dining room with their food, pushed open the door of the other room and entered.
Anne and Lilianga were the only cats left in the dining room watching Dumb gobble up raw meat and drink animal blood.
"Sister Anne, I'm still feeling a little hungry!
"I believe that as long as we are determined, we will be able to get through it. Anne's expression was resolute, "We'll figure out another way in the evening!"
Next to him, Dumb quickly finished eating the food, and his body glowed with colorful light.
