Chapter 499: The King Without Flaws
Just when Levi pinched a 'red dragon trumpet' and rushed to the abyss to 'level up' to find his daughter, Sean VII, who was far away in Karinshan, was standing in front of his daughter's grave in a trance.
In order to cooperate with Cromwell's plan to fake his death, and to prevent sabotage from Ivy Korazagrand, the father and daughter built more than a dozen cottage mausoleums alone.
But Anisha waited for more than 80 years until the Shaun Dynasty Mansion was about to fall, and when the country finally collapsed and the wind and rain were in turmoil, she couldn't wait for his father's return.
Therefore, the final burial place of Anisha has also become a mystery in Karinshan, and countless tomb robbers, necromancers, dragons and Pasha covet the treasures in the tomb of the last empress of Shane.
Even Cromwell himself has visited many tombs of Tesser and Karinsan who are suspected to be the last female emperor of Shane over the years, and it was not until this year that he heard the secret news of the year from a chance channel, and it was determined that the tomb of the daughter of the little nobleman in front of him belonged to his daughter.
Because the fairy tale about the evil dragon and the princess in that secret story was made up casually by Cromwell who coaxed his daughter to sleep back then, but he didn't expect that Anisa still remembered it before she died, and passed down that fairy tale from mouth to mouth in another story.
Cromwell understood at that moment that this was the 'code' that Anisha had left for herself...
She was afraid that one day if her father woke up and couldn't find her, he would be very anxious and sad.
Even then, she was dead...
And this is the time of nearly a thousand years.
Sean VII squatted silently in front of his daughter's grave, stretched out his slender and pale hand, and gently brushed the dust off it, just as he had plucked the fallen leaves from the hair of the little lioness when he was a child, and then slowly rested his forehead on the cold tombstone.
He choked up in a voice that only he could hear:
"Anisha, Daddy... I'm here to pick you up. β
He was going to take out his daughter's bones and bring them back to Jeanie Sal first.
After he restored the Shane kingdom and rebuilt it, he buried his daughter's bones back in the imperial tomb of the Shane Dynasty, and then used the dragon head and blood of Ivy Korasagran to pay tribute to his dead daughter!
Seeing that 'she' showed such a sad and lonely expression in front of people for the first time, Connie and Maria, who were standing behind Sean VII, looked at each other speechlessly, and the little Maria pursed her mouth, and her eyes were full of tears, and she was about to fall, and said:
"Sister Connie, Sister Messier is so sad, what should I do if I want to cry when I look at me?"
"Don't cry, don't cry, the Messier is just mourning the deceased, let's give the noble lady a bouquet of flowers later." β
"Hmm!"
Little Maria nodded heavily.
Although Connie said this, looking at the back of the 'Messier', there were many doubts in her heart.
Judging by the quality of this tomb, it has been hundreds of years, how could the Messier be so sad about such a long time gone?
'Could it be her ancestors?' Connie attributed that to this reason.
At the same time, she was amazed that since 'Messier' went to Port Karin ten years ago to fight and escaped death, it was as if she had changed as a different person.
The Messier of the past was equally strong, but the Messier of today... How to say it...
'She' is so strong!
From spring planting and autumn harvesting, grazing oases, coordinating all kinds of complex contradictions, organizing and training militias, to proposing reforms to Jeanie Saar's institutional norms, internal management, and determining the relationship between various city-states and forces in the outside world, the Messier is simply all-incomprehensible, and everything is fine, as if no matter how tricky things fall on her hands, she can quickly break down the internal primary and secondary contradictions, step by step solutions, and then implement them without hesitation!
Such a vigorous but efficient style, almost visible to the naked eye, the original internal management of the primitive chaos of Jeanie Sal to get in order, even Jenny's sister admired the Messier for his ability to act as a lord, and after that, he gave her all the power to give Jenny Sal everything, and he retreated into the background to provide some auxiliary work.
She is so intelligent and powerful, and in her working state, she is full of an intellectual beauty that everything is under control, which makes her look like an incomprehensible sense of coldness, so that in the entire territory of Jeanie Saar, there is no one who does not love the Messier, the new helmsman of Janice Saar, and the male who loves him can fill the Karin River.
It's just that for some reason, whenever a powerful warrior shows love to 'her', the Messier always shows an extreme... An embarrassed look.
Connie didn't know why she felt the way she did.
And this feeling is especially obvious every time Marshal Pantos, who is taller and stronger than a lion, thinks of various ways to pay tribute to her, and even has a sense of panic and helplessness to flee in a hurry...
And whenever little Maria asked in amazement when the Messier had become so powerful, the 'Messier' looked at the north with a wistful look:
"All of this is due to the teachings of the Silver Dragon Lord, who enlightened me with wisdom, and my talents are far inferior to those of the Wise Lord. β
And at this time, little Maria's eyes will show a longing light:
"Wow, that Levi is really amazing. β
Immediately afterwards, he began to doubt himself with Connie:
Why did they also go to that glorious white city back then, but they only learned some of the food and reception skills of the hostess...
Everyone is obviously a half-elf who grew up together, why is the gap so big that she has a sense of despair that has crossed species...
'Hey... I'd better be my ranger honestly, at least Sister Jenny once praised me for having some talent on this path. β
It's just that she just thought so... I suddenly remembered the rumor of a fellow forest ranger...
It seems that her name is Elena, and she is also from the beautiful White City of the Northlands.
It's just that the other party, who is also a ranger, has already saved the entire Northland by sending the message of the ancient evil in advance and has become a well-known heroine.
Now he has traveled to Cormier and Comanso, and has established a group of half-elven rangers called the Far Travelers.
It aims to unite all half-elves who share the same idea, improve the living conditions of half-elves in the Cormir area, and work to abolish the slavery system in Cormier and even the city-states in the middle of the continent.
It is said that this move was even supported by the three sisters of the Oriana family of the pure-blood elven windtalkers, who have repeatedly put political pressure on Cormier officials in the past decade, but have also received a strong backlash from the aristocracy, and the results have not been good.
But that still can't hide the legendary brilliance that shines with Elina.
Connie's eyes immediately lost color.
'I'm a wastewood with no talent...'
It's just that she suddenly remembered the warning from the ranger Ellenny... It is said that the generation around the Sea of Falling Stars has recently appeared...
Just as Connie was about to present this warning message to the 'Messier', she suddenly heard a hoarse and desperate roar:
"No !!"
Connie and Maria, who were frightened, stepped forward with concern, only to find that the tomb had been opened by the other party, but inside the opened coffin...
but there was nothing.
No, it was scribbled but full of murderous handwriting, but it was an ancient script that Connie had never seen before.
Because this kind of writing is the Shane script that has long been buried in the dust of history, and only Cromwell, the Shahn VII, can understand the native language, see that it is written with extremely mocking words:
"Cromwell, I didn't expect to see my traces in his daughter's grave.
"Hahahahaha, when you see this engraving, I can imagine your comical face mixed with surprise, anger and despair.
"Do you really think you can fool me with that little bit of a firefly?
"It's naΓ―ve, perhaps, that's the limit of your bipedal ape-man's intelligence.
"It's hard work to find this grave, isn't it angry when you see this, and desperate when you see the missing bones of your daughter?
"Since you are angry, then come to me for revenge, no matter how many years have passed, I will wait for you.
"Wait for you to crawl like maggots to my throne and bow your prideful noble head.
"That way, maybe I'll ... Give you the chance to reunite with your daughter?
"Hahahahaha!
"Ivy Kolasagran β Essay. β
In front of the tomb of Sean VII, he raised his head to the sky and roared:
Ivy Korazagran!!
"Sooner or later, I'm going to eat your flesh!
"I swear in the name of all the gods:
"You!
As if he had exhausted all his strength, he couldn't help but stumble back two steps, and then he muttered bitterly and reproachfully:
"So... to dissolve the hatred in my heart...
"My poor daughter...
"Anissa...
"Dad... I'm sorry for you..."
It turned out that the roundabout plan that he had carefully planned fell into the eyes of the other party, but it was just a joke.
But her poor daughter, when she should have enjoyed the best years, shouldered everything that she should not have shouldered.
And all this should have been borne by him Cromwell...
Just when the flame of his soul was violently stirring, and the nerve called reason was about to burst, he suddenly felt a heat on his face.
He shook his senses, but found that Connie had taken him into his arms for some time, put his head in his soft bosom like a child, and kept stroking his head, and heard Connie's voice full of concern and worry:
"Messier, I don't know what kind of difficulties you have encountered, but even if we face no matter how desperate we are, will we all be relieved together?
"So, please don't despair like this, no matter what, you still have me..."
A villain suddenly came up from behind: "And Maria!"
Connie pursed her lips: "Yes, and Maria, and Sister Jenny, and Janice Sal's more than 20,000 people who have suffered a lot, you know, most of them are yearning for the banner you hold high."
"All of us look forward to you, worship you, and you can also try... Count on us... Trust us, okay?"
Cromwell, whose soul fire was hovering on the verge of collapse, was like a sailboat rediscovering its lighthouse in the waves, and countless complicated thoughts were consciously pressed down by him to be sorted, overcome, and resolved.
And tell yourself that at such times, despair and anger will not solve anything, reason is.
Isn't the ugliness of himself at the moment exactly what Ivy Koraza Gran wants to see?
Once reason returned, many details began to be noticed by him, and the handwriting at the bottom of the coffin was obviously not the same age as when he was buried.
This is very likely to show that the other party did not see through his plan in the first place, but deduced the conclusion that he still existed in the main material world through Anisa's side or other traces!
Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he hasn't been dug up by Ivy Korasagran.
And most importantly, he suddenly had a glimmer of hope for no reason:
According to the subtext of the other party's last sentence, could it be that Anisha also took the same method as herself, leaving her soul in the main material world, waiting for her return?
Doesn't that mean that there is a good chance that Anissa's soul is still in Ivy Korasagran's hands?
With this glimmer of hope, Cromwell finally regained his strength.
Even if it was just a smoke bomb set off by Ivy Korasagran trying to find herself.
At this moment, Cromwell finally regained his composure, returning to the demeanor of the king who once controlled the Shane Dynasty, he held Connie's shoulders and slowly pushed the other party away, and then looked at the other party with eyes without the slightest emotion:
"But what if... I'm just using you?"
Being looked at by Cromwell like this, Connie's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she didn't know why she had such a ridiculous reaction.
What made her even more flustered and inexplicable was that she was half a head taller than the other party, and the other party was also looking up at her, but the other party had the illusion of standing on the high platform of worship and looking down at herself.
So much so that she didn't think about the heaviness and price behind these words, hung her head, and said in a panicked manner:
"I... I don't know, I just know that since you came to Jean-Sar, all of us have been able to eat and put on cover-up clothes, and the old people no longer have to go to the depths of the mountains on their own, just to save a little food to reduce the burden on the territory, and the children... I was also able to receive education from teachers from Baicheng at Shuguang Elementary School without distractions.
"Until then, no one had ever heeded the voices of those of us who were struggling in the dust.
"Under the watchful eye of that Shining Wing, you professor, we have changed, gradually abandoned barbarism, ignorance and backwardness, we... Salvation was obtained.
"You have brought us helpless people a world of civilization that we never dreamed of before.
"You've given us something we could never have hoped for...
"That's hope with... Dream.
Speaking of this, Connie slowly raised her head and stared at Cromwell's eyes as seriously as ever:
"I'm trying to say that if that's utilization, then... I willingly be used by you. β
"Me too, so do I, Maria wants to be used by Sister Messier!" the elf shouted.
Connie smiled and touched Maria's little head, then looked back at him and said:
"You see, I think that's what the vast majority of people in the realm really think.
"So, don't worry, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, be bold and take revenge in your chest.
"Then, put us to good use!
"At least I'm Connie, gladly!"
Listening to this almost love talk, Cromwell's eyes were in a trance.
Everything seemed to go back to 900 years ago, when he once stood on a high platform and spoke to all the subjects of the Shane Dynasty, swearing to conquer the evil dragon.
At that time, his followers, the people who had begun to sincerely support him under his painstaking reforms, also looked at him with such innocent and full eyes.
It's a pity... He failed...
With the strength of the country, while suppressing the hidden danger of rebellion in the country, three expeditions marched into the mountains.
The dragon was slain, but the last national strength was exhausted, until the building was about to collapse, and there was no power to return to the sky.
I can only watch as the subjects who once trusted me wail in despair in the flames...
Cromwell's eyes flickered with hesitation and struggle, but finally calmed down like a pool of water without waves.
He raised his hand, brushed a strand of loose hair from Coney's ear behind her ear, and then clenched it into a powerful fist, and said solemnly and solemnly:
"In that case, then accompany me to throw it again.
"This time, I want to solve the hidden danger that has ravaged this land for thousands of years in one fell swoop!"
At the same time, I silently told myself in my heart.
Forty years to go!
For forty years, you must unify Karinshan and Tether!
Only in this way can he gather the national power of the last generation of Shane, so as to gain the confidence to challenge the evil dragon again.
Because according to the last time the other party woke up, he only had about forty years left.
"Hmm!"
Connie and Maria looked at the 'Messier' who was so 'heroic' after cheering up, and their eyes were full of adoring little stars.
Although they still don't know what the hidden danger in each other's mouth refers to and what it means.
But this does not prevent them from thinking that the 'Sister Messier' at this moment is simply handsome!
Just as they had restored the empty mound and were on their way home, Cromwell remembered that Corney seemed to have something to say to him earlier, and asked.
Only then did Connie suddenly say:
"Yes, we've just received a warning from the Northern Ranger Erlenny. β
Cromwell frowned for no reason:
"What warning?"
Only then did Connie solemnly report:
"Recently, their forest rangers have discovered frequent resurrections of the undead along the coast of the Falling Star Sea, that is, in the area of Dragon Bay and Sambia.
"There was even a vicious incident where an entire village was attacked by the undead and all the undead were turned into undead, although the authorities quickly dispatched a team to exterminate it, but it still made the residents near the Falling Star Sea begin to feel uneasy.
"We are reminded to be vigilant against similar phenomena, which, if allowed to spread, could cause a terrible plague. β
Cromwell muttered, "Resurrection of the Dead, Cult of Death, or Goddess of Plague?"
After thinking about it, he asked, "Did you find out what caused it?"
Connie shook her head a little dazedly:
"The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but so far, the root cause of the problem has not been identified. β
Cromwell nodded:
"I know, so that when I go back, I will immediately inform all the people, and all the deceased, and use cremation one by one.
"At the same time, we will increase patrols north of the Xingjing Mountain Range, and once we find a similar situation, we must kill them as soon as possible!"
"Yes! I remember!" Connie and Maria nodded together and replied crisply.
Looking at the half-elf sisters who were hurrying towards the territory, Cromwell showed a hint of pain.
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition, this frequent resurrection of the dead was really unusual.
Let's just hope it doesn't spread to Karinsan.
In that case... He was afraid that he would no longer be able to organize a force against Ivy Korasagran.
At this moment, he suddenly hesitated.
Do you really want to take revenge on the evil dragon for your own selfishness?
No, its very existence is a source of chaos!
The only result of appeasement and compromise is eternal oppression and exploitation!
Cromwell, have you forgotten the lessons of the Shane dynasty for hundreds of years?
After a few calms down, the former king of Shane has become like a stone again.
There are no flaws!
