Chapter 21: The Secret of the Royals
86_86832Vivien looked at the empty cave, slightly disappointed, and was about to turn around, when Batu's voice sounded in her heart: "Master, there is something there. Vivien looked in the direction that Batuu pointed to in front paws, and sure enough, there was an open brocade box on the ground, and in the box was a snow-white stone the size of a pigeon's egg, which was emitting a glowing white light.
"It's the Holy Light Stone!" Batu said in surprise.
"What is the Light Stone?" asked Vivien curiously.
"The Holy Light Stone is a strange ore, it can suppress the strength of the Demon Beast, within the range of the Holy Light Stone, no matter what the strength of the Demon Beast is, there is only one percent left at most. ”
Vivien's eyes lit up: "Then with this thing, it's not easy to catch a demonic beast!"
Batu said angrily: "But Warcraft is naturally sensitive to this kind of stone, as long as there is such a stone, there will definitely be no Warcraft within a radius of a hundred miles." ”
"Didn't you just notice it!" Vivien didn't believe it.
Batu explained, "That's because I'm your contract beast, and this stone doesn't work on me, so I can't sense its existence." ”
"That's it!" Although she was a little disappointed, Vivien still walked over, she couldn't catch the monster to save her life, this Holy Light Stone was a good thing.
This would explain why there is not a single monster left in this valley.
As she approached, Vivien suddenly saw a man lying in a dark corner, the skeleton of a dead man, to be exact. The little girl had seen a dead monster, but where had she seen a dead man, and she was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
Knowing that the dead man could no longer move, Vivien still walked over cautiously, carefully put the lid of the box into the ring, and said something in her mouth: "Anyway, you are dead, and it is useless to keep the Holy Light Stone, so it is better to give it to me!"
Vivien put the Light Stone into the ring and took a step to look at the skeleton on the ground, although the skeleton's clothes were rotten and clean, but there was one thing around him that was still intact except for the bones.
It was half a piece of jade, which fell on the ground next to the skeleton's waist, crystal clear and endearing.
Vivien carefully picked up the jade and put it cold. Holding it in her hand, Vivien felt strangely peaceful, and the skeleton in front of her didn't seem so frightened.
"Master, there's a word on the wall!" Batu was not as scared as Vivien, he jumped up to the skeleton, and after turning around, he found the handwriting on the wall.
The cave was a damp earthen wall, and it had been some years since this man died, and it stands to reason that the words on the wall should have been corroded a long time ago, but I don't know what method he used, and the small words on the wall were all clear.
Vivien stepped forward, bringing the fire elemental close to the wall, and said, "Dear latecomer, by the time you saw these words, I was already dead. The only thing left on my body is this Holy Light Stone, and I want you to read the story I wrote. ”
"My name is Rodney, and I am the personal bodyguard of the King of the Risha Empire, and I grew up with the King and reached the rank of Grand Exorcist at the age of thirty. The Risha Empire is the only country that encourages interracial marriage, but one day, the king returns from the Protectorate Temple, and suddenly becomes distracted, even when he holds the infant prince. ”
The next day, the king issued two decrees, one forbidding intermarriage, and the other expelling all half-blooded white-haired men. As soon as the decree was issued, it caused a blatant uproar throughout the country, and the first to oppose it was the aristocracy! Because interracial marriage was encouraged, and the mixed-race people were much more talented than ordinary people, many nobles accepted women of different races as concubines in order to increase the strength of their own family descendants, and even some nobles had white hair as the heirs of the family! These two decrees not only separated them from their flesh and blood, but also weakened the strength of the nobles, and they naturally strongly opposed them. ”
"I know that the king must have his own reasons for giving such an order, and although I cannot understand it, I can only support him silently. The opposition from all over the country grew stronger, and the people of the Protector Temple also intervened, but the king refused to let go, and forcibly drove the half-blooded white-haired people who had no backstage out of the country. ”
"The nobles knew that soon it would be their turn, and they naturally refused to accept their fate. Finally, with the acquiescence of the temple, the five nobles united to launch a rebellion and enter the palace. ”
"When the king gave me the little prince and asked me to take him away, I could not help but ask him, 'Why do you insist so much, king?' and he shook his head and smiled bitterly: 'I can't say, I know it will be like this, but I have to do it! I want to protect them, but they don't understand! Alas, take Ulysses with you! Don't sue him for this, let alone let him take revenge! When I die, I'm afraid things will go back to square one!'"
"I took the little prince with me and escaped from the Risa Empire. Unexpectedly, they didn't even let go of the little prince and chased them all the way. In the end, I put the little prince in a remote mountain village, lured the pursuers away alone, and fled here, but I was highly poisoned, and I am afraid that I will not live long, so I wrote down the story of the incident, hoping that someone who is destined to help me take care of the little prince, and I will be blind. ”
"The other half of the stone on my body is on the little prince, and the two stones are spliced together to determine the identity of the little prince. Finally, I also hope that it is best not to let the little prince know about this qiē, after all, the hope of revenge is too slim, and I don't want the king to lose the last bloodline. ”
"Finished?" asked Batu.
"It's over!" Vivien nodded.
"This king is indeed sick!" said Batuu, to his conclusion.
Vivien shook her head: "I think there is something wrong with that temple, the king must know some secrets, so he issued those two decrees, but why didn't he tell the reason?"
"If you can't say it, there's no reason!" Batu still insisted on his point of view.
Vivien wasn't sure, this story contained too many mysteries, and the people involved were either rich or noble, and I was afraid that the truth of the matter would have been hidden with the death of the king. The only clue is that the king once went to the temple, however, the temple is a more sacred existence than the state power, and if you question the temple of the Republic of Risha, you will undoubtedly become the public enemy of Risha, and it is better to commit suicide.
Moreover, the exorcist king of the Republic of Risa lives in the temple.
Vivien stopped thinking about it, destroyed the handwriting on the wall with her raptor, dug a pit and buried Rodney, and left with Batuu.
Although the truth of the story is appetizing, after all, it is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with himself.
As for whether or not to sue Ulysses about the cause and effect of the incident, Vivien had reservations, and she felt that if the boy was also a genius who cultivated demonic martial arts, and his strength was comparable to that of an exorcist king, the truth of the matter would be nothing. After all, it was his biological parents who died, and he had the right to decide whether to take revenge or not.
But if his strength is only average, then it is better to live as peacefully and quietly as his parents want
