Chapter 374: Rumors of the End of the World
"Your Majesty the King, I regret to inform you of the bad news, the Kingdom of Yogyakarta is mobilizing its army."
Wen Sheng put down the quill pen in his hand, raised his head from the half-human-high stack of essays piled up on the table, Luo Zhengdao raised his chin with his elbow, rubbed his eyebrows with one hand, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said:
"Oh, what do those giants want to do?"
"Your Majesty, our intelligence officers have not heard accurate information for the time being, and it has been preliminarily determined that the giant is reorganizing his armament. Sources have come to say that all adult male cyclops and dwarven civilians have been drafted into the army for military training, apparently ready for a big fight. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who had a slight taste, touched his chin and said slowly:
"What's the show? Who are you going to fight against? I remember that the Yogyakarta Kingdom had a good relationship with the Greenskins, and the overseas powers did not want to provoke such local powers, so who would be the target of the giants? ”
Just as Luo Zhengdao gave full play to the advantage of the traverser's wide thinking, and his mind was full of nonsense, an attendant knocked on the door of the office and said:
"Your Majesty, Ms. Dubov has arrived and is asking to see her outside."
"Oh, please let her in."
At this time, Luo Zhengdao motioned for the others to retreat for the time being, and soon there were only two people left in the huge office, him and the half-elf beauty. Affectionately got up and hugged his wife, expressing his welcome, and then Luo Zhengdao put his arm around her shoulders and whispered:
"My dear, why did you come to Qiongzhou all of a sudden, and you didn't even have time to say hello?"
Unable to find the mood to flirt with her husband at all, Vina Dubov worriedly pulled Luo Zhengdao to the big sofa against the wall and sat down, she looked at her husband anxiously, and said:
"Will, I've heard that the drow elves and giants are on the move, of course I have to rush back, the world is going to be in chaos."
The cruel reality of life will always make people feel exhausted, the human camp that has bottomed out is busy recovering the country, the main continent is fighting like a rotten peach, the devil is fighting against the devil all day long, and the two sides do not shy away from burning the bloody war all the way to the main material realm.
The Second Goblin Empire, which was on fire at the city gate, was affected, and while roaring around to put out fires and quell all kinds of incidents, while also having to deal with the mess on their own land, even the work of suppressing the human resistance and fugitive slaves became a side job, and from time to time they had to open a film with those unruly alien tribes, and then watch the pirates wander like scavengers in the sea between the main continent and the sea of stars, and pounce on them to bite when they have the opportunity. If it is said that the world is in chaos right now, it is not an exaggeration, if this is not a chaotic world, is it possible that even Yaling and elves have to pull the pole and go into battle shirtless to count?
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help laughing, and said:
"What's so strange about messing up? Isn't it messy enough now? ”
"No, of course it's not messy enough. Will, you have to listen carefully to me......"
Just in time for this, there was a commotion from outside, and an attendant shouted loudly:
"Lady Byrne! Ms. Byrne! You can't break into His Majesty's office like this, it's not in order. ”
With a loud bang, the office door was slammed open, and Sariel Byrne walked in as if no one was around. The attendant officer who came after him also saw Luo Zhengdao's gloomy and ugly face from the open door, and he hurriedly bowed and said:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't have time to inform you, but Ms. Byrne ......"
Don't make a big fuss! Luo Zhengdao, who was slapped in the face, did not come up with a family ethics film for the public's hobby of guessing riddles and solving boredom in their leisure time, he waved his hand at several attendant officers and said:
"Alright, get out! Close the door. ”
"Yes, His Majesty the King."
It is difficult for a clean official to judge family affairs, and these methods are only suitable for those who are willing to communicate with you rationally. However, the most intractable problem in the world is that when the most effective means of violence can't solve it, your problem is really big. When faced with some irrational factors involved, including family affection and love, arguments and various arguments based on logical reasoning seem to be inadequate, and the final outcome is usually a break between unclear and muddy.
Luo Zhengdao, who was full of helplessness, turned his head to look at the Yaling beauty and sighed, beckoned and said:
"Say it! What's the urgency? ”
The fact that the Lady Overseer Salyl Byrne had rolled back a lot of sheets with Luo Zhengdao did not mean that she had become his person, just like the lonely men and women in the old world who roamed the bright lights and nightlives of the metropolis, and if they were in good hands, they might as well have a shot at night, and they didn't have to say goodbye when they parted the next morning.
Purely with a business-like and hard attitude, Sariel was not polite to her nominal and legal husband, and she said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, have you heard the prophecy of the end of the world?"
Suddenly hearing such a question that didn't have much nutrition, Luo Zhengdao was both surprised and confused, and calmly spread his hands to admit that he was ignorant, and said:
"No, how can I have time to study the end of the world, fighting with those greenskins is enough for me to bother, if I can't deal with the greenskins, then the end of the world has come."
The violet eyes of the Yaling beauty, who could not see the focus of her gaze, moved to Vina Dubov, who was in the same room, and said:
"Lady Dubov, would you mind if I would brief His Majesty?"
The half-elf beauty smiled confidently, seemingly dismissive of Sariel Byrne's provocation, and when it came to her understanding of Luo Zhengdao's emotional world, it was none other than Vina Dubov. Suppose that a man and several women each develop a relationship story, it may be the natural romantic Duan Wang Ye and the infatuated couples, a man and a woman who can't count on his fingers maintain a marriage relationship at the same time, most of which can only be said to be a combination of venting carnal desires and animal reproductive instincts, and has nothing to do with feelings.
A half-hearted man will be accused of being unkind, and if he divides a relationship into dozens of parts, how far will it be diluted? With such a chaotic private life, it is shallow and ridiculous to talk about love and non-love, and the love that happens in the palace is especially gimmicky, and only the emperors who are flattered by women have true love? It's as difficult as finding an albinist out of a flock of crows!
Vena Dubov would not be presumptuous about the deep affection for herself and her former students, and she had not yet reached menopause, when she was often self-doubting, and replied calmly:
"Of course, Ms. Byrne, I don't think His Majesty cares who tells him the bad news."
“…… As the end of the world approaches, the Drow Elves will take action against the Giants, the exact purpose of which is unknown, but it must not be good news. ”
After a brief introduction to the close connection between the current situation and the ancient prophecy, Salil Byrne, who came prepared, looked calm and calm, while Luo Zhengdao, who was not in such a calm mood, could only pretend to laugh out loud and shook his head, shook his head and said:
"Hehehehe, it turns out that most of them are rumors!"
The Yaling Overseer did not bother to comprehend the righteous path, and continued to speak in a firm tone of expounding the basic facts:
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the current situation, the main objects involved in the rumor have changed, and there is no other reasonable explanation, then the rumor is not just a rumor. ”
Luo Zhengdao also knew that the source behind Sarriel was definitely not some third-rate bard, he just didn't want to be forced into a situation where there was no room for maneuvering, and he simply didn't like this unpleasant fact. There was a pause in the conversation between the two sides, and then Luo Zhengdao let out a sigh and muttered:
"Well, the end of the world...... Giants and Drow ...... I think about it......"
At this time, Vina Dubov glanced at the Overseer of Yaling, unwilling to be lonely, and said:
"Legend has it that the giants are waiting for the return of some great being, but of course, this is also an unconfirmed rumor. We have too little information at our disposal to analyze it comprehensively, and most of it is a guesswork. ”
Needless to say, this familiar rumor has given Luo Zhengdao a headache, since he crossed the new world, he has been entangled with all kinds of prophecies or something, not to mention how troublesome these things are, and what is even worse is that many times they are very unreliable!
Similar to the nonsense prophecy that the descendants of the Bright Emperor would destroy the Second Goblin Empire, Luo Zhengdao had already been driven by the goblins like a dog, wandering in the Aetheric Sea for many years. But even today, Luo Zhengdao, who has developed a lot of power, does not feel that he is really capable of standing up to the millions of goblins one day, this is not to say that it is not possible at all, but it is too difficult and troublesome to achieve, and the ratio of input and output is worrying. Even without considering the many difficulties involved, the time it takes to start a tug-of-war with the goblins alone is so long that Luo Zhengdao has no intention of thinking about it, and in any case, he is past the age of daydreaming, and will no longer see war as a fun game.
Luo Zhengdao will raise his arms in front of people and shout those extremely great and righteous slogans for the restoration of the country when he has nothing to do, this practice is nothing more than catering to the public's tastes and hobbies, this will be a prophecy that will come out again, and he has suffered enough of the prophecy in the morning, can Luo Zhengdao's heart not feel crooked? For him personally, if the problem of the curse of the Aragami is not solved, no matter how much territory he occupies, how many gold coins and beauties he has, it is all decoration, and his own death is not even a scumbag left.
This sword of Damocles hangs over his head, and most of Luo Zhengdao's mind is not on the creation of a career in the sense of common sense, and running the Kingdom of Light is also under the pressure of reality, and if you want him to talk about any aggressiveness, to be honest, he really doesn't have that leisure.
Immediately, the corners of Luo Zhengdao's mouth twitched twice, and he said angrily:
"Forget it, don't care what the giant and drow want to do, we just do our own thing, right?"
That's right, Luo Zhengdao doesn't understand the truth that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, most of the troubles in this world come uninvited, not that you want to be alone, and then there is really nothing to do with you. As the saying goes, people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven, so don't come too many examples of bad luck like this.
