Ever since the good news came that the country of Toronto was about to be invited to become a member of the World Government, the whole country was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.

Whether it is a merchant or a fisherman, they all give up their jobs and join in this rare carnival.

Although they look down on those member countries that are oppressed by heavenly gold every day because of the wealth of their country, but now, when they take off the coat of non-member countries and put on the leather jackets of the member countries, they realize that this jacket is so warm and reluctant!

What's more, the Duolun Kingdom is a representative of affluence, and even though they do about the same work as the rest of the countries every year, they always earn more than the rest of the North Sea countries. Moreover, to the pride of these citizens, they also enjoy the preferential treatment of tax exemption for five years and half tax for the second five, which makes them despise those member countries that only pay heavenly gold every year.

Unlike the frenzied celebrations of the people, the center of this kingdom, the royal palace of the Duolun Kingdom, does not seem to be contaminated with the joy outside the palace, and the atmosphere of the whole palace seems to be a little dignified.

It was obviously a huge palace, and the number of guards and maids in it was as many as 100, but the entire palace was a little quiet and terrifying.

Whether it was the guards on duty, or the maids hurrying through the palace, they all slowed down their pace, as if for them, slowing down and keeping this palace quiet was what they should do, and what they should have done was all after this!

"Whew... Yes!!! An exclamation pierced the silent palace, followed by a chaotic pace of hurried in the direction from which the sound came.

"Drink some water, Lord King!" A man, who was clearly a butler, handed the king a book of warm water, and finally clapped his hands, letting the attendants behind him carry the basin and prepare to serve the king.

The king poured the whole cup of water into his stomach in one gulp, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and he picked up the towel that had been placed from the basin of water, and wiped the cold sweat from his head with palpitations.

"Colin, how many years have you been a housekeeper with me?" The gray-haired king casually threw the used towel into the basin and asked with some sighs.

"It has been thirty-three years since Your Majesty ascended the throne at the age of twenty, and Colin was chosen by his father-in-law ten years after His Majesty's accession to the throne, so he had the honor to serve His Majesty! Come to think of it, it's been twenty-three years! ”

"Yes, you've been with me for twenty-three years, and I've been king for thirty-three years! I think when I was a prince, our country was not so strong and rich! ”

"More than 30 years have passed, and the degree of prosperity of our country is only a handful in the North Sea! Even soon, representatives of the world government and the navy will come to our country to discuss with us the matter of becoming a member country! ”

"Our country, from a weak and barren country, has become self-confident and prosperous, and I am happy! I have achieved such an extent that even if I die soon and see my father underground, I can proudly say that everything I do is for my people, for my country, and I have a clear conscience! ”

The gray-haired old king, leaning on the bed, his voice was slightly weak, and his words contained the gentleness and slowness peculiar to old men, but Colin, who was the chief butler of the palace, did not dare to underestimate the old man in front of him.

As the righteous son of the old butler, Colin knew most of the secrets of this palace, so he still replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, your contribution to this country is obvious to all, you are not only the king of our country, but also the hero of our country!" ”

"Yes! I am the hero of our country, but who knows that I am the most murderous executioner in this North Sea! The old man slowly stretched out his hands, and he looked at his wrinkled, even dull hands that had completely faded the luster of the prime of life, and his face showed a complicated expression that seemed to cry and laugh.

I don't know what to ask, maybe it's because of old age, this old king always likes to reminisce about his old life.

The master and servant were relatively silent, and it was Colin who broke the silence for a long time, he seemed to be unable to bear to see the master he had been chasing for more than twenty years, so lonely, he squeezed out a smile, and said forcefully: "Your Majesty, the injuries of the chief of the Karen guard have gradually recovered, and I believe that it will not be long before he will be able to reappear in the country!" ”

"It's a good thing that Karen is getting better! Last time, if his crew hadn't been double-minded and threw away his helmet before the battle, Karen wouldn't have killed all the guards on the ship in order to keep it a secret, and he himself would have been seriously injured! ”

"Having Colin's allegiance is one of the proudest things I've ever done in my life!!" The old king sighed deeply, and he remembered the cruel, bloody, and desperate dream again, and couldn't help but shiver coldly.

"Colin, where's my little grandchild?" His Majesty, who was a little embarrassed, remembered his favorite little grandson, and asked with a kind smile.

"Your Majesty, at this time, His Royal Highness Clancy should be pestering the deputy guard elder to learn the sword!" Speaking of that little highness, even Colin, who has always been serious and scrupulously guarding the duties of a housekeeper, couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

"Yes, Clancy, this little guy likes to dance with knives and guns, and even said that he wanted to surpass Clen to become the number one warrior in the North Sea, I didn't believe it at the time, but what I didn't expect was that this little guy really persevered, practicing swords every day, day by day!" Speaking of his beloved little grandson, the old king squinted, and he thought of his dream, and said thoughtfully.

"Colin! I'll find a teacher for my little grandchild, what do you think? Although the old man with gray hair and beard looks old, when he talks about the future, there are a few rays of light in his eyes!

"Teacher, Lord Karen is seriously injured and can't take on the task of teaching His Royal Highness, why don't you wait for Lord Karen to recover before letting him take on such a big responsibility?" Colin was puzzled.

"No, no Clen, Karen is with a hammer, not suitable for teaching Clancy, I'm going to find someone else!" The old king said, sighed deeply, and said in a somewhat profound tone: "Colin, I regret it a little, for so many years, I just want to make our country richer and richer, and let my people live more and more comfortably!" But I was dazzled by the boatloads of treasures, and blinded by the praises! ”

"After so many years in power, I have forgotten what it was that allowed me to obtain the treasure of the first ship! I have forgotten what it is that makes my country, my people, so rich! ”。

The old king said, his tone hideous and with a little hope: "I have forgotten, it is not important! The important thing is my little grandchild, he can't forget! ”

"I can't leave him much, only a rich country, and a team of powerful warriors, after all, only in this way can he protect my country!"
