Chapter 490 The Messenger is dead
The silver dragon Alyssa relaxed her mental defenses, and Feige did not miss this opportunity, using a soul concussion spell to modify the dragon's thoughts about Andrew's family and Xia Ni. These changes are time-sensitive, will slowly diminish over time, and will disappear after decades. Feige hid the spell in his memory, making it unrecognizable. The silver dragon can spell herself, but it is almost impossible for her to undo the spell effect on her own.
Andrew didn't know anything about it, but Alyssa the silver dragon then had a long conversation with him, saying that he had figured it out and would not add an extra burden to Andrew in the limited time of his life. For Carol and Dalemond, Silver Dragon said that their mother and son are like "Andrew's own pets and hobbies", and it will not affect the relationship between the dragon and the paladin at all. If the mother and son like themselves, that's a good thing, and if they don't, it's none of her business.
Being able to go from pride to tsundere is already a big step forward, and Andrew no longer frowns all day. He was already planning to take Yinlong and his three "egg children" home, and it was tentatively set to return to the time when his body recovered and his weight returned to more than one hundred and twenty pounds.
On the other hand, the silver dragon Alyssa also told Xia Ni that she was indeed her mother, but she had never thought about the responsibility of raising and caring for her before - and she did not have such an opportunity - so she had to define the current relationship as a "mother and daughter who lacked emotional foundation". However, in the future, she will try to cultivate a relationship with Xia Ni, treating her as a different dragon child, soothing and protecting her when she needs it, and harassing her when she doesn't...... Anyway, at the moment, it is higher than passers-by, and the family is not full. It should get better and better in the future.
Shani was so moved that she cried several times, twice in Feige's arms and once on Beni's shoulder. Being able to find her mother in the blood gave Xia Ni a greater sense of belonging and fulfilled her wish. And the most important point is that Andrew and Shani are completely unaware of what Feige has done to the dragon, and the dragon will not find anything "abnormal" for decades, all thanks to Feige's subtle control.
He could have used a spell to directly reverse the dragon's mind, allowing her to become Andrew's concubine without complaint, as well as fully immersing herself in the role of Shani's mother. But the concept of perfection is synonymous with unnaturalness, and a slightly improved foundation combined with a positive trend has fully met the requirements. Any more, it's just a snake to add to it.
Feige uses a spell to create a false change in the silver dragon, but he reaps joy from the true satisfaction of Shaney and Andrew. Xia Ni came to play with Alyssa whenever she was free, and soon won the latter's complete favor and trust, and even the dragon egg could be taken care of by Xia Ni with confidence. Before, apart from the silver dragon himself, only Andrew was able to touch those eggs. Now Xia Ni can also clean the eggs, lie on them and listen to the pulsation of life under the eggshells.
Andrew's health is gradually improving, and he has begun to resume martial arts training, allowing his organs and muscles to return to state. Xia Ni hired a barber from the palace to trim Andrew, and he chose to keep the thick beard that almost hung down to his chest, and his hair also chose to hang down directly, which was completely different from the clean and fresh look of the past.
"My kingdom is gone, and now it's the time of the Empire, so it's going to be less troublesome. Andrew took the initiative to come to Feige, and the two brothers talked alone. "The barber in the palace is very interesting, he only tells me what happened after you became emperor, and never says what he thinks of you. I think he's a little scared of you, what's the matter?"
"It's normal for him to be afraid of me because I never ask him for a haircut. Feige pointed to his head, "These beards and hairstyles are all made of Transfiguration, and I don't even need to clean them, let alone trim them." Shani has snakes all over her head, and she takes care of it herself, and she doesn't need a hairdresser. So, even though he was indeed a royal barber, he usually only styled the hair of the people in the palace, and the only royal head he came into contact with so far was yours. β
"Royal Head...... The term sounds too funny. Andrew couldn't help but chuckle a few times, and then said, "Feige, after I go back, will you worry about the resurgence of the original King's Party?"
"It's suddenly such a serious topic, and it's better to make it clear sooner rather than later, and it will also reduce the burden on your heart. Feige rubbed his nose and said, "I'm not worried about the Kings at all." Your royal party is the nobles and knights who are not willing to lose their privileges, plus at most ambitious church members. Even if there are more, plus the forces of the second world, I am not afraid. Because in the end, someone has to stand up and try to overthrow me, and overthrow is just a glorified word, and the real situation is to kill me. β
"You're not going to kill me, but Dalemond and Carroll might have had this idea, and there are signs of it now. They already have your so-called king's party around them, and the slogan is spreading, called: Make the king great again. However, these people can't get their way, so I don't care. β
Feige clenched his fists as he spoke, as if he had all the men under control. "When you go back, watch out for those people. The ones who don't dare to come out now are rats, and when there is no danger, they will empty your ship, and before they encounter real danger, they will disembark early, leaving the person they parasitize to die alone. If they annoy you, you can also cooperate, and you will not come out if they don't come out, so that they are always begging you. If you're leading the way, they're behind you. β
Andrew nodded, admitting that Feige was speaking very vividly. As a paladin, the most common type of "rat generation" is a mercenary with a bad character. The paladins charge ahead, and the mercenaries enjoy the lastβthis "back" is not temporal, but spatial.
"It was inevitable that there would be such a party of kings, and I would abolish all the privileged positions of the nobility and concentrate them on me alone, and not even my father would be satisfied, let alone anything else. Delmond has reason not to like me as an uncle, but he doesn't have the power to oppose me, so don't rush to the front. Andrew, magic is devastating, war is the flesh and the weak, and Dalemond must understand this. β
When Andrew heard this, he suddenly understood something: "Have you been monitoring them, and all the movements are controlled by you and even under your promotion and control?"
"No, I only have protection for Delmond, there is some surveillance on the King's side, and it is all in the hands of Merthers, I don't care. Feige stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the sky, "My focus is on the Second World, and my enemy is the Creator. The King's Party, no matter how powerful it is, is not qualified to be my enemy. If they can surprise me a little, I might change my mind a little. β
"You're so confident!" Andrew reached out and patted Feige on the shoulder, "As a king who has lost his kingdom, I give you some advice with this little experience of failure: don't fail." β
"You can't succeed in everything. As long as the most important thing is to succeed, sacrifice in other ways is not spared. All one can do in this process is to sacrifice as little as possible and succeed as much as possible. Feige looked at Andrew, his mouth slightly open, and some words had slid into his mouth, but he still forced him to swallow it. "Don't worry about going back to Carol, especially not arguing with Carol. I don't coax women, I only scare people, it's normal for her to be afraid of me. By the way, don't repeat what I've said to her, just stand firmly on her side. β
"If she's wrong, I'm sure I won't be on her side!
"Right and wrong will not be clear in twenty years. Feige closed his eyes and said, and when he opened his eyes, he changed the subject: "I can give you a suggestion, just say that I saved you, you are embarrassed to be hostile to me, Carol can't ask you like that." But you can nurture Delmond and let him grow up to be the next generation. Women love their children more than their husbands, and the latter may be negative. β
"Okay, I kind of see what you mean. Andrew rubbed his eyebrows, then his eyes. "Now there's a problem. I want to write her a letter before I go back. Do you want me to mention Alyssa and the three dragon eggs in my letter?"
"Brother, brother, do you ask me if this is useful? What do you expect me to tell you? I'm not like you, I'm just one Xia Ni, and I don't have three dragon eggs. Besides, if it were me, no one would be able to beat me anyway, and I could have no moral bottom line at all, of course, whatever I say is what it is. This is my advice, can you listen to it?"
Andrew lifted his foot and kicked Feige in the calf, but it didn't even make a ripple in the magic barrier. "Get down to business, any suggestions?"
"I think it's better to just go back and take Alyssa with me. If she asks why she didn't write the letter in advance, you say that the letter was written, and the messenger may have died on the way. Anyway, Shani and I didn't hear back from my letter to Carol and Delmond, and the messenger could really die on the way. I can foresee that Carol will definitely have an emotional breakdown for a while, and if you don't know what to do, take her to pray and meditate in front of the goddess of truth and thunder, and if she doesn't go you will go yourself. If you're really worried and you can't stand it anymore, just tell me. That corner of the multiverse is fine, I can teleport Carol to itβyou can scare her like that. β
"I'm going to do as you say, and I'm going to fall in no time! Why are you all sinister tricks that don't come to the fore?"
"As an emperor, I have to show that I have more insidious tricks than anyone else, so that no one wants to play with me in this field, and at the same time be grateful to Dade for my fair and reasonable approach. Fei Qi said: "You bring Alyssa back, she is a powerful silver dragon, with her watching, I am more assured of the safety of my family." But again, try not to get involved, the real bad guys are very smart, they know that they can't have a chance to overthrow me, they just want to cause some trouble, and it's best to see chaos within the Hall family. β
"These villains!" Andrew said angrily.
"These villains are bait, and the purpose of their existence is to expose all threats in advance, just like a magnet attracts a steel needle. You are a former king, you do good or bad, as long as you participate in things that may be related to politics, you will be distorted into resentment with me as an emperor. β
"Then I am a paladin, a husband, and a father. If they still provoke them, I'll let Alyssa bite them. β
"Speaking of which, I have to make it clear to you: no matter whether Alyssa and Xia Ni finally complete the mother-daughter recognition, you are not my father-in-law, understand?"
"Uh...... I don't have that in mind. No, you've confused me, you can't be a ...... if you didn't marry me and Alyssa's child Forget it, if you don't bother with this, I'm starting to have a headache again. Those three dragon eggs, I don't think they can take care of them to grow up, let alone watch them get married. β
"How did you ...... with the dragon You know. Feige raised his eyebrows and asked, "Alyssa was delirious at the time, so she shouldn't be able to transform into a human, ......right?"
Unexpectedly, Andrew didn't blush at all, and he didn't shy away from the topic, and said directly: "You'll know." β
"How do I know if you don't say so?"
Alyssa said that Shani was learning from her. Andrew raised his eyebrows in turn, and although the eyebrows became less pronounced in the wrap of the beard and curls, they certainly moved. "Xia Ni is more than half of her blood dragon, she and you have never had children, do you think she doesn't worry? Dragons have many magical abilities, and Alyssa is the head of all dragons, she is well-informed, and she will definitely teach Xia Ni. β
Andrew seemed happy, it seemed that this was one of the few things he could overpower Feige in terms of knowledge, and he wanted to enjoy the process, so he would not easily share the answer with his brother. Especially now that there is an added bonus, which is the embarrassment on Feige's face that is especially worth seeing when he is being turned on by his own questions.
But Feige is still not sure, did Xia Ni really ask? They don't have children now, the main thing is that Feige is in control, and he doesn't want children for the time being. His pure human clone is occupied by the divine power of the old man, if he is a demigod, he feels that he has something to do with the old man, it is too awkward. And among the various devil clones, only the desire demon has the real fertility, and the other devils only have the ability to "corrupt and degenerate" the bloodline. The offspring of the Desire Demon is still the Desire Demon, even if he uses the dragon blood to "hedge", he will be a half-dragon demon...... It's a hassle to think about.
Especially now that there are a lot of things to do, and Feige can make himself and Xia Ni's youth and life extremely long, so there is no rush in time. If Shani doesn't care about the process of pregnancy, Feiqi can use spells such as necromancy, transformation, and spells to directly complete the bloodline grafting, or even complete it herself...... Wait, what are you doing now, aren't you idle?
Feige tapped his head hard to bring himself back to his senses and responded to Andrew's snickering with an angry bass deep in his throat. Except for Shanny, there is nothing that can make Feige so concerned and distracted, let alone so imaginative and distracted. He's wary of it, but he's enjoying it.
