Chapter 375: Father and Son
The illusion of the "Night of the Withering Flowers on the Other Side" began to gradually shatter, leaving only the king who had completely lost his breath of life, but the outermost "Wanhua Mirror" enchantment still did not disappear, and now Leon and Walsh were already in the same space.

Walsh stopped roaring and turned to look at Leon, "What do you mean?"
Leon shrugged his shoulders: "It's literal, you are the master of this "Wanhua Mirror", then you must have heard what Josephine said just now, the puppet refined with the essence blood of the "Three-Eyed Python" is almost invulnerable until death, and no one can detect it, which is also the reason why the old king took Josephine in five years ago......"
Yes, taking Josephine without letting him go back to the "Temple of the Brave" was also a risk for the Empire, and it was really not a wise choice for the majority of people.
Maybe the world is superstitious about the greatness of the "brave", but in fact, these real imperial high-ranking people know very well in their hearts that the "Brave Temple" is the existence that dominates everything, and they would rather offend the "brave" than provoke the group of old immortal guys in the temple, their temper is not good.
But it just so happened that the five-year-old "Temple of the Brave" was preparing for some ulterior things, so he chose to turn a blind eye to Josephine's stay in the imperial capital.
But there is no doubt that the old king's move still made the temple extremely dissatisfied, and no one was seen from the temple in the "ancestor worship ceremony" in the next few years.
But it doesn't matter, I'm dying anyway...... Five years ago, the old king began to be bedridden and neglected his affairs, and at that time, it was true, the old king was so sick that he could die at any moment......
No one may know that at that time, Burton had been to the palace once, or that Burton and the king were allies!
The establishment of the "Alliance" has Burton's share, but in fact, there is also the old king's share, a small terrorist organization, it is not worth mentioning in the face of such a huge imperial machine, as a king who does not fall behind in the confrontation between the south and the north, and even in the confrontation of the demon world, if it is not deliberate, how can it be possible to let the small organization of the "Alliance" develop?
But of course, all this is secret, only Burton knows, after all, the "Alliance" is all victims of the "Night of the Withering Flowers on the Other Side", and they must not know that one of the supporters behind them is actually the culprit, for the sake of strict secrecy, even Walsh's own son does not know that his long-time enemy is actually one of the founders of the "Alliance......
Before the old king died, Burton was a little unbearable, after all, between yin and yang, the old king's only biological flesh and blood actually turned against him, but he was helpless, he couldn't resolve this hatred, he had tried to tell Walsh that the old king was his biological father, but Walsh did not give up the slightest intention of revenge, but had the opposite effect.
It was also at this time that Josephine proposed a way to replace the old king with a puppet, the puppet has ontological emotions and thoughts, which is equivalent to a doppelganger, after all, at that time, Josephine could not let the old king die easily, who knows if the new monarch will hand him over to the "Temple of the Brave", then all his plans will be in vain.
In that case, Burton was resolutely against all this, the empire was on the right track, as long as a successor was chosen, it was perfectly possible to run it well, but every day the old king lived, it was cruel to him, he had to live in a world where his own son wanted to kill him at any time, what a terrible thing!
But the old king nodded in agreement, and Burton seemed to hear what his own brother with blood on his hands was saying.
I can't die yet...... I have to live to atone for my sins...... Of course, it is not to atone for the deaths of the "night of the withering flowers on the other side", and I regret the innocent lives, but I will never regret them.
My atonement is for my son......
It was I who kept him alive in boundless hatred, and if I died now, his hatred would always take root in his body and corrupt his soul...... So I'm going to live, to live until the day when he might kill me with his own hands!
If he kills me with his own hands, there is a slight possibility that he can let go of his hatred and find his own life, then my life will be worthwhile!
When Leon first met the old king, the old king told him all about it, because he needed Leon to do him a small favor......
After listening to Leon tell all this, the enchantment fell into calm again, Leon has no need to lie here, and for the truth of the facts, in fact, Walsh has already felt some clues, but he doesn't dare to admit it, Walsh has his back to Leon and them, no one knows what kind of expression he will have now......
Leonardo da Vinci also knew all this for a long time, he, no, it should be said that the four kings of this "battle for the king's election" were actually all Burton's children.
Leonardo da Vinci sighed: "What should I call you? Father should also want me to call you "big brother", right? If you are willing to come back, we can support you to sit on the throne!"
"There's no going back...... Walsh said slowly, he looked at his bloodstained hands, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "What is the difference between me now and this guy before? But I'm at least as stubborn as he is, and I won't regret what I've done!"
Leon shrugged his shoulders: "Now that the "Alliance" has also disappeared, no matter what, judging from the ending, you can be regarded as achieving your goal and completing your revenge, and the souls of the "Flower Blooming Night on the Other Side" should also be blind when they see that their descendants can have enough food and clothing, and now you can go and find your own life, which is also the wish of Burton and your father!"
Walsh turned his head and looked at Leon: "Do you think I can get away with it after killing the king of the empire? And I don't intend to tell the world about my ridiculous identity, and I have no interest in this blood-stained empire." ”
"Why do you think the old king told me all this?" Leon shrugged, "His Royal Highness is not interested in whether you know the truth or not, and the reason why he told me all this is for the day to come." ”
Looking at the corpse of the old king on the ground, Leon couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, this old man has a great favor to me...... I can't help but agree to his request, and besides, I have a lot of dirty water on my body, so I don't care about a little more......"
