Chapter 114: Shuxi's hexagram lalala
(The first update after a long absence!) )
After many days of hard work, even the young and strong Carlos was almost exhausted.
From the Southsea Crisis to the Intramural Incident, the new king of Alterac rested for less than ten hours between five days and six nights.
And the forcible pretense at the baptism ceremony became the last straw that broke Carlos's camel.
When I woke up, I didn't know what it was.
"Father, you've been guarding me?" Carlos opened his eyes to find Alex sitting on the edge of the bed.
"It's just a coincidence, there are so many things, how can there be spare time to guard you." The Grand Duke's face is pretending, doing it, being retributed, such an expression.
"How long have I been asleep?" Carlos felt terrible, almost powerless.
"Todd found you unconscious in the conference room yesterday at noon, and now the sun is almost setting." Alex replied.
"The news hasn't leaked, has it?" Carlos was concerned about this issue first.
"I didn't have time to pay attention to it before, and I didn't have the right opportunity to ask until you fell, and I didn't ask Master Dandema about the situation. Well, that's good, my son is a man! Nanhai Town's three bloody monsters, three hundred elite soldiers created a tribal camp, thousands of miles of flight to miss the way home, teleportation planes to play high-altitude bungee jumping, the stronger the city is like entering no man's land, camouflage infiltrated no one, the palace battle against the orc sword master, the secret room opened the great knight chief grateful. Okay, what a hero! ”
Alex held Carlos' hands tightly, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
"It hurts! Pain! Pain! Father, I was wrong! I was wrong! Let go! ”
At the weakest moment of his body, under the obscenity of his father, Carlos's royal dignity was gone.
"You're fighting so hard, Carlos, to the point where even your father and I find it incomprehensible. Carlos, what are you afraid of? Alex gave his son a little education and let go of Carlos' hand.
"Father, do you remember the topic I asked you when I was a child, and you diverted from it" Carlos also put away his pompous performance and asked deeply.
Then he was slapped on the head by Alex.
"Ha, you were naughty when you were a child, and you asked a lot of stupid questions, who knows which one you said?." Alex had an unreminiscent look on his face.
"Is life always so painful, or is it just childhood?" Carlos asked again seriously.
“……”
Alex didn't expect his son to ask this question, and he was stunned for a moment. I remember when Carlos was nine years old, and the son who followed him to the disaster relief asked this question after seeing a refugee child die after failing to treat it. At that time, Alex thought it was the child's sympathetic attack, so he asked. Now that I think about it, Carlos is not asking about the dead child, but about himself.
"It's not something you should carry, and you can't bear it, my son, you're just a person, a mortal, not a god!"
Suddenly he understood what his son was thinking, and Alex felt fear.
"Is life always so painful, or is it just childhood?" Carlos repeated the question.
"Always."
He stopped talking many times, and finally, Alex replied heavily.
"Father, I'm tired." Alex closed his eyes, ready to sleep a little more.
Originally, there were many things he wanted to say to Carlos, but Alex suddenly couldn't say them.
It doesn't matter what suppresses the extremist insurgents, what divides the military power, what reduces taxes, what consolidates the royal power.
Alex. Barov left the king's bedroom with heavy steps, and secretly decided that it was time to put an end to the mess.
That night in Alterac City, a night of fish and dragon dance, Grand Duke Alex Regent united all his factions with strong means. At the same time, the ambiguous 2000 defenders also received an ultimatum, and under the compromise of the commander Sparrow, the Barov family completed the integration of the military forces of Alterac City, and the old general Odren, who had returned home, was asked by Alex to re-enter the mountain.
Early the next morning, twenty-seven nobles were put on trial at the town hall in Alterac on charges of all sorts of ugly acts, all of which were the most incendiary. With conclusive evidence, Grand Duke Alex Regent signed his name on the hanging.
At the same time, Grand Duke Alex, the regent, announced that during the war, the Kingdom of Alterac would not only increase taxes, but would also reduce taxes across the board to help the people survive this difficult time.
When signs filled the streets of Alterac, the cries of praise for the new king were deafening.
"Grand Duke, the national mobilization also reduces taxes, and the treasury can't support it at all, are you going to fight the idea of the inheritance of the previous king?"
"Those things belong to Sasa, let your men think about it, don't disturb the Duchess."
"That ......"
"Those who have been knocked to the ground by us will not be given a chance to turn over."
Alex said coldly.
"Even then, that's not enough, after all, you've let too many people go."
"Are you ready to put me on the look?"
"Don't dare... Don't dare..."
"For the rest, I will naturally find a way to do my own thing."
"Yes."
Grace and power were combined, money opened the way, and almost overnight, Alex completed the integration of Alterac City.
And when most of the nobles in the country gathered in Alterac City, controlling Alterac City was almost equivalent to controlling the entire Alterac Kingdom.
"Send this announcement to the Mage Tower and let them spread the word. Then remove the garrison from the Mage Tower. ”
With everything in place, Alex felt that there was no need to control the news anymore, and it was time for the alliance to know about it.
Merciful, wise, fearless King, Aiden. Pirenod was assassinated by the orcs using despicable means.
The general of the Alliance, the brave of mankind, the noble paladin, Carlos. Barov was crowned king.
Carlos, as the king, did not participate in the public trial, but received the great hero Aslan early in the morning. Prayers.
When Aslan. Carlos couldn't help but smile as he tearfully held the light to his king, but he couldn't hold back the violent cough anymore.
"My king!" Aslan. Pray uses the newfound light to try to heal Carlos, but is stopped by Carlos.
"It's just the after-effects of the baptismal ceremony, I just overdrew too much strength, not a physical injury, don't do useless work."
"Please take care of your body, my king." Aslan. Pray for sincere advice.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect me to look away." Carlos burst out laughing.
"What do you mean?" Aslan. Qi An asked puzzled.
"It's you! I originally thought that you were just a guy who was obsessed with power and power, and that baptizing you as a paladin was only part of the agreement, but I didn't expect it to be blind. Such pure Light, you are a man of faith. Carlos went from laughing to smiling to frowning.
"Your Majesty has praised it." Aslan. Pray for peace.
"What should I do with you?" Carlos asked rhetorically.
"Your will." Aslan. Pray that he fell to one knee in submission.
"I was struggling to suddenly go from being a garbage that could be thrown away after using it to a trustworthy subordinate." Carlos spoke shocking words without hesitation.
"From the moment I poured it to you, I had the consciousness of smiling and dying." Aslan. Qi An replied calmly.
"What makes you think so highly of me?" Carlos drew his sword and struck Aslan. Prayer on the shoulder.
"Because of the king's temperament! When I was defeated by my king in the ring, I felt the temperament of the king from the wildness of the snowman king in your hand! If you can't live for you, then die for you! "Aslan. Qi An's eyes replied feverishly.
"What is the oath of your heart?" Carlos asked suddenly.
"Strength!" Aslan. Qi An replied without hesitation.
"It's a dangerous guy, but I don't mind." Carlos retracts the rack in Aslan. Pray for the shoulder of Bonigoto. Phantom Dancer, and instead handed the hilt of the sword to Aslan. Prayers.
"This sword has accompanied me to this day, do not defile him." Carlos said.
"My king!"
Aslan. Pray for the sword, and the excitement can't help itself.
"Now I'll give you a mission."
"Your will!"
"Hold Master Dandemar for at least three hours."
"The subordinates use their lives to ensure that the task is completed!"
