Chapter Seventy-Nine

"What would you do if you didn't know that I was going to be the new king? Will you be the new king? "I almost blurted it out.

It dawned on me that Alger had worked so hard for so long, didn't he want to be king? Before, I just told me that Alger would assist me and that I would trust Alger fully, but why not just let Alger be me and I would help him?

Alger smiled helplessly: "He knows that I can't do it, so he never thought of passing on the king's position to me." His decision is not wrong, I really can't, not even as good as a hairy kid like you. ”

"Maybe you just feel that you have taken on too much and don't want to burden you anymore. He trusts you so much. Qi Yan said on the side.

"So, you're hoping you can succeed you as the new king of the Dead Sea, right?" I stared at Alger closely, catching any subtle change in expression on his face.

My gut tells me that it is.

Alger wanted to be king, and he knew all about the Dead Sea and had more prestige than I did. Clearly, Alger is the lone spirit who is more suited to be king. So, why not let Alger be the new king and I take over Alger's job?

"I know what you're thinking, but it's not as simple as you think. You are the king of the chosen ones. People will only recognize you, not mine. I think Abandonment has already arranged everything, and his scripts will always be so wonderful and perfect. I trust him, more than I trust myself. If only you believed that his decision was the right one. Alger patted me on the shoulder and said.

"But don't you think it's unfair, I'm just a kid, but I occupy such a high position."

"What is the position of king in your eyes?" Alger didn't answer, but asked.

"Wang...... "A lot of information flashed through my mind, what a mountain king, what an ancient emperor, "is the most powerful and stylish of all the spiritual creatures, the spiritual creature that can lead everyone to complete the goal." He has supreme power, has unparalleled power, and is at the heart of the whole collective. It's a boss anyway. ”

Alger couldn't help but laugh when he heard my answer: "You are really just a child, and you just happen to have the power of the Children of Darkness. ”

I was very dissatisfied with his reaction and asked, "Tell me, then, what should a king be?" ”

"Just in words you can understand. A king will get many ordinary spiritual things that can never be possessed, such as the lonely spirits who bow down to you and let you send them. But he also sacrifices a lot, and sometimes, when you climb to the top of power, you want to do something, but you end up wanting to do nothing. What you have to bear, what you sacrifice, is far more complicated than you think. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and that's what it means. However, most people only see the dazzle of the crown. Your understanding is as simple as that. ”

"In that case, why do so many people or spirits want to become kings by any means?"

"Because, only when you are strong can you get what you want and protect what you want to cherish the most."

"Abandon you also said such things, but he failed, although he became king."

"So, it's really complicated. In the future, maybe you will understand, and you will understand it more deeply than anyone else. ”

"Then why do you want to be king?"

"Okay, Yishi, are you a hundred thousand why? If you keep asking, we'll just sit here and help you answer your endless questions. Qi Yan lightly hung my nose and smiled.

I suspect Qi Yan interrupted me on purpose.

What would be Alger's purpose? Is it for revenge?

A petal floated in front of my eyes, I reached out to catch it, and when my hand touched the petal, the petal instantly turned into pieces and disappeared with the wind.

"It's coming. Our Dead Sea Village. The expression on Alger's face became more gentle.

A soft pink and white color appeared in front of my eyes, which was actually a peach blossom forest, presumably designed by imitating Tao Yuanming's peach blossom garden. This also contains the good wishes of abandoning the heart.

During this period, the lonely spirits who came and went were dressed in all kinds of clothes from the last century or even longer, including Western court skirts, Eastern green shirts, Republic of China cheongsam, and all kinds of military uniforms. The buildings in the distance are also strange and varied, and this is more of an art street than a Dead Sea village of refugees. My eyes couldn't see for a while.

Everyone was singing a song in a low voice, and I could hear it, it was the song "Queqiao Immortal". Probably this is the favorite song of Renyu before his death, so everyone mourns Qiyu in this way. They were walking, standing, and sitting, and their faces were full of grief.

It was the biggest funeral ever. There was no form, no organization, but everything was so well organized. Every lonely spirit here has similar feelings, nostalgic for their gods, and forsaken them.

I stood on the sidelines, as if I was standing on the edge of another world, quietly watching them and feeling their world.

Suddenly, a light gray cloud appeared in the sky, and the sunlight tore through the dark cloud and fell straight on me.

I was surrounded by those golden lights, and all the lonely spirits turned to me.

They walked up to me as if they had seen a god, and then knelt down, bowed, and clasped their palms, all paying homage to me in their own ways. Even Alger, who was beside me, took off his hat and saluted me.

"That ......" I was surprised to find that my voice at the moment had become as thick and powerful as a bell, like a king.

"It seems that Forsaken has arranged everything, and all the lonely spirits will recognize you as their king as soon as you appear. Whether they accept it or not, give them such an awareness first. Qi Yan whispered to me on the side.

"But how did you do that?"

"They all have the protection of abandonment, probably this thing is working."

"What should I do now?" I looked at the lonely spirits with some nervousness.

"Introduce yourself and declare that you are their king. But I think most of the abandoned things are illusions, and you don't expect this to last long. ”

I cleared my throat, and all the lonely spirits raised their heads and looked at me respectfully: "You don't have to salute when you see me, my name is Meng Yishi, is it...... Your new King. This is Qi Yan, it's mine...... Boyfriend. ”

This self-introduction was obviously very awkward, I was embarrassed to death, and Qi Yan couldn't help laughing on the side.

I bumped him hard with my elbow: "What a laugh!" ”
