58 Immediate
Prince Elise had not slept all night, and his eyes widened, and he stood at the door of his father's chamber, wandering up and down the corridor at the door, and at every time there was a slight noise in the room, he could not help touching the hilt of his sword.
What kind of clothes should I wear during my father's succession ceremony after his death?
Will a couple of generals of the Guards obey themselves? Do they like power, wealth, or women?
Well...... There are also three younger sisters who are not married......
It's time to start collecting the special tax for holy wars, and I will personally lead the iron cavalry of the Kingdom of Elis to break through the blockade of the Little Yang Sect on the Tooth Fortress......
As the moon gradually rose, minute by minute, counting the time, it seemed that the king should have had symptoms a long time ago.
But it never was.
Instead of that, the king of Elise was in better spirits, and a few hours after eating, he even withdrew six guards, as well as three healers.
There was only one healer left, and he was talking in front of his father about those absurd legends about evil gods, about the end times.
The chamberlain came out once and brought the prince the latest news, which the prince did not want to hear: the king was all right, in a good mood, and after the meal he even jumped and jumped happily on his bed like a child.
Maybe they really cured my father's illness?
As soon as the thought came to him, the prince felt that his mood suddenly became unusually irritable, and at last, after hearing another burst of laughter in the room, he could not help but push open the door of the dormitory.
His father, King Elis, was sitting in his chair at the moment, and the healer was standing beside him. The two of them were staring together at a strange device that was placed on the table like a large book opened, and the part that stood up was glowing, and there seemed to be a living picture beating.
The prince could scarcely breathe when he saw those images, and he could not only see the figures in the paintings moving, talking, but even hearing their voices.
It was a sight from hell! People have become animals that devour each other, the sky is obscured by smoke and dust, and the sun has lost its light! The huge volcano is like a flower of flame growing from the depths of the earth, blooming wantonly on the earth!
The prince had heard bishops and popes talk about hell before, and when he talked about the horrible events, he felt horrified enough that he was afraid to listen to them any longer. But compared to what was in front of them, those few words of introduction were nothing, and the scene in it—perhaps, only the demons who dwelt in it—could understand it so clearly and thoroughly.
The king's expression was the same as that of his son, and when the horrific sights in the picture appeared in front of him, the king could not help but retreat uneasily to confirm that the surroundings were still safe. Then after a while, I couldn't help but put my attention back on the picture in the laptop, and when Shen Changwen made it carefully edited, after the blockbuster of this horror disaster movie was played, the king himself was already dumbfounded, and his son was standing behind Wu Xiaoqing at the moment, trembling like chaff.
When Wu Xiaoqing turned his head to look at the prince, he was frightened all over, and almost subconsciously drew his sword out of the sheath, at this time, the chief of the guard on the side immediately stopped the prince, and then put his sword aside.
"Don't you see!" The prince shouted at the chief of the guard, pointing at Wu Xiaoqing, his voice trembling, "This person is a demon sent by hell!" He is bewitching your king! ”
The chief of the guard glanced at the king, and then replied, "My sword belongs to the king, Your Highness, if your father is a demon, then my sword is pointed at the angel." ”
The king smiled with satisfaction, glanced at his son's frightened appearance, and couldn't help but disdain: "Don't you all believe in one god? Isn't the god in your heart a little more confident when you face demons? ”
……
The king not only had dinner yesterday, but later he also had a supper!
Not only did I have a late night snack, but this morning, I had breakfast again!
And early the next morning, the king sent a messenger to the whole country, asking more than a dozen major lords of the country to come to the royal city to participate in the meeting.
The center of the conversation of the whole city immediately changed from the death of those four people to what kind of demand these four people would make, a huge amount of gold coins? A large number of territories? The title of the Prince? Or a whole army armed to the teeth. But none of the people in the entire royal city of Elise could have imagined that the first thing the king would do after he came to power was to do something to all the inhabitants of the city.
"There are still two and a half months to go before the disaster, Your Majesty," said the search and rescue team in the morning, after giving the king insulin and making him eat breakfast happily, "we must prepare in advance as soon as possible." ”
The king nodded and said, "I have agreed to your request, and a messenger will be sent in the morning, and the lords will gather in the royal city in half a month, and then I will appoint you......"
"No, Your Majesty," said the search and rescue team, "half a month is too long, and what I am saying is that we must act immediately, immediately, and when the lords come to the meeting, we should make all the preparations, food, weapons, cattle and horses for transport...... The collection of these things must start now. ”
The king groaned for a moment, and for a moment was undecided.
"We have come with a sacred mission," said the search and rescue team, "and if the mission is not accomplished, we will die now by the sword of the King, and in two months you will be choked to death in the ashes of the volcanoes." Isn't the prophecy that was shown to you yesterday clear enough? ”
Yesterday's so-called prophecy was some of the movie clips that Shen Changwen had done on Earth before, and they were also specially made for this C plan. If these pictures are viewed by earthlings, it can almost be said that the bull's head is not the horse's mouth, and it can be seen that the skills of earthlings are all kinds of disaster movies put together at will. But in the mouth of the search and rescue team, in the heart of the king, these pictures are real scenes that can no longer be real, and are likely to appear in the future!
If not God? Who can put the whole world into a small box and make them come alive! The world in the picture can even pause and rewind at any time! For King Elise, if he was still wary when he first came into contact with these four people, when he had eaten his first meal safely and saw the picture in his laptop, he had no doubts about the status of these people's so-called "divine messengers". Compared to the divine sticks of the Great Yang Sect and the Little Yang Sect, these divine envoys possessed powers that the king had never seen at all. Elise had only believed in his own eyes and ears all his life, and last night, his eyes and ears were indeed convinced.
The king was willing to cooperate, because these oracles came with great sincerity. In other religions, they talk about contributions first, and then talk about returns, first let Elise give the whole kingdom and fight for God, and then God will look at the mood and see if he will give him a little reward, and as far as Elise knows, those rewards are usually made up by the priests themselves. In Elis's view, either the gods didn't respect their king at all, or maybe the gods didn't exist at all, just a bunch of boring and stupid mortals talking nonsense to each other. He is a king, and he knows too well the power of distortion after the spread of words, since he Elise can be rumored to be a tyrant if he kills a group of liars and gods, then what reason can these swindlers and godsticks not be said to be gods?
But this land god is very different, at least not the same as the big yang god and the small yang god. At least he had enough respect for himself, sent four waiters, specially brought the medicine to heal him, and gave himself so many pictures of the future, and only after he was completely convinced, did he start to make demands.
However, being willing to do it, and being able to do it, are completely different things. Elise was sure of his abilities, he was sure of the abilities of his men, so he was sure that he might not be able to do what the oracle had asked him to do.
They're going to take the whole kingdom with them!
King Elise was born into a war, and he knew what it was like to go out on an army. When the number of people exceeds one number, the organization of the whole group is completely scattered, maybe it's just a storm, maybe just a few people start to have diarrhea - and it often turns into a disaster for the whole group. Not to mention stopping the migration of hundreds of thousands of people, even if it was just to organize all the armies in the kingdom, Elis felt that it might not be possible. He knew too well that those lords and their subordinates were virtuous—without gold coins and women, let alone thousands of miles of long marches, it was impossible for them to walk along. If it weren't for the fact that he had an elite royal city guard directly under him, with his own physical condition, I am afraid that these lords would not dare to come to the royal city to attend the meeting, let alone command them to do what they should do.
"We knew it would be difficult," the search and rescue team reassured the king, "if it was just a task that could be accomplished by a single order from the king, God wouldn't need to send the four of us here." We need to start taking it one step at a time, so every day, every moment, must not be wasted. ”
"I don't know where the oracle is going to begin?" The king asked, "If only I could do it." ”
Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the king, then looked at the subtitles, and was taken aback. But the voice of the search and rescue team still spoke: "It is not difficult to notice that your authority is slowly eroding during your illness. Everyone is faintly expecting a new king, can you understand? You have to give your people no choice so that they can abandon everything and follow you without hesitation. ”
The expression on the king's face seemed to be frozen by ice and snow, he looked at the wine glass in his hand, bowed his head and said, "I know what you mean. ”
Then he raised his head and nodded lightly at Wu Xiaoqing: "Divine envoy, I will have a good talk with my son, about his inheritance, please allow me to leave for a while." ”
