(105) The long-lost shady chapter
In this world, authority is an invisible but very important thing, with permission to activate and control the functional building system, the lord and some small and medium-sized families adopt the inheritance model of prefabricated rules, which can effectively reduce the internal friction caused by the family's competition for authority, and the huge kingdom and the church are used in another way to inherit the high-level authority.
Emperors, kings, popes, and other people with the highest authority will designate an item as a 'Token of Authority', and when they are unable to exercise their authority for a long time, this 'Symbol of Authority' will automatically take effect, so that the first person to obtain it who meets the inheritance conditions will automatically obtain the highest authority, and the inheritance conditions are formulated by the previous person with the highest authority, which is a very convenient function.
The 'symbol of clerical authority' of the F.S.M. Order is a key that can open the door to the Strange Treasury, and the gold that Dio seems to never lose is the wealth that the Order's Treasury has spent centuries slowly accumulating using various magical non-divine creations.
The 'symbol of royal power' of the British Empire is a sword, and according to Yumemi Okazaki, this sword should be a powerful non-divine creation, although it is not as powerful as the blade of doom that caused a meteorite volcanic eruption, but it is also a great divine sword.
It was a two-handed sword, the gauntlet of the sword was forged into the shape of two dragon heads, and there was a huge black-eyed gem at the junction of the blade and the hilt, although the blade was more than one person tall, but it was not difficult to swing, legend has it that in the last era, the owner of this sword once used this sword to behead a hundred war elephants in a row, and it was really invincible, and there were two letters 'A.L' on the hilt that no one recognized.
However, this Excalibur is also a little ominous like the Doomsday Blade, he once plunged the Britons into a terrible civil war, when the Knights of the Kingdom, who were originally like brothers, also fell apart because of this sword, and the Grand Master who wanted to take possession of the sword was chopped off, and the members of the Knights killed each other with red eyes, until a knight girl became its master, and the curse did not stop.
In short, there are status forces on the continent, and they will look for some powerful treasures as a symbol of inheritance, but non-divine creations are generally taken away by the Order or the Supreme Inquisition not long after they appear, and the valuable treasures that flow into the world are very rare and rare.
The Frankish kingdom is a powerful force that does not have a suitable treasure as an inheritance, but this generation of Frankish kings is very lucky to get a very beautiful gem, although it is only a small fragment, but its luster is more beautiful than any complete gem in the royal collection, and those who wear it will gain magical abilities.
The ecstatic Frankish king immediately ordered the craftsmen of the royal family to create a crown from the most precious metal, and then inlaid this gemstone fragment as a 'symbol of royal power', and the king with this crown could easily knock down thirty knights of the kingdom, and he excitedly led the army to attack the undead with this crown, but lost his life in the surprise attack that night.
It stands to reason that the symbols of the highest authority of the state are not suitable for being brought to the battlefield, and if the supreme and the symbol of royal power are destroyed on the battlefield together, then the country will inevitably suffer a huge shock, and it is very likely that the country will be destroyed because of it.
The Frankish kingdom was in such a bad situation, their king's head was still rotting on the walls, and part of the symbol of imperial power had been pulled out of the garbage heap by a jade, but it also gave hope to some prisoners.
"Brothers who endure humiliation! We have found His Majesty's crown! The Kingdom of the Franks is saved! The Kingdom of the Franks is saved! ”
In a secret passage somewhere in the tunnel, a middle-aged man with a white beard excitedly raised the crown in his hand to the people gathered below.
"We've gone to great lengths to wander around the undead in the guise of refugees, just to find this token that can keep the Kingdom's functional buildings functioning properly, now! We've finally found it and it's time to get out of here! ”
The Frankish kingdom sent thousands of spies to search for the lost crown, some of whom were deliberately captured by the undead and then taken to the place to do hard labor, and secretly investigated the exact whereabouts of the crown, because many of the captives in this quarry were routers and knights who were captured when the army was defeated, and they knew better than the cowards who escaped about the king's death.
There were nearly 800 spies alive after infiltrating the quarry, and with some unknown slaves, it would not be difficult to start a riot, but due to the hunters wandering in the sky, this riot had little chance of success.
"Sir, we've got a lot of weapons in place, but I can't deal with gargoyles and obsidian destroyers!"
This question was posed by an agent who had quietly encouraged some coolies to flee in order to test the quarry guards
What level of strength, but not long after the coolies stepped on the ground, they were grabbed by gargoyles and torn to pieces.
"It's okay! Our collaborators within the Cult of the Damned have sent us some very powerful items to fight against gargoyles, and as long as we have these things, we can rush out of this hell on earth, and the only thing that the co-ordinator wants us to make this chaos as large as possible, so I want you to mobilize as many slaves as possible to fight against the natural scourge. ”
"But sir... Is that collaborator really trustworthy? Isn't he just trying to take advantage of us? Be careful. ”
"Don't worry, that person has been helping us, those cultists can't allow this kind of behavior, he and we are accomplices in the same boat, if this chaos fails, we will also confess his behavior, and no one will think about it at that time!"
"Since you are so sure, sir...... Oh! That's right! Who the hell is the imp who gave us the crown back? ”
"I don't know, but he claims to have been aided by a Kingdom agent who told him about his mission before he died."
"I don't know which shameful guy leaked the secrets of the kingdom, but that imp has indeed contributed to the kingdom, so let's just find a few people to watch their every move. Just don't let him leak our existence. ”
The Frankish spies began to plan the riot in detail, but unbeknownst to them, the figure of a small man had quietly left the place where they had been negotiating, and he quickly passed from one shadow to another, and the deaf and discerning spies did not notice any of them.
Yush dodged the guards between the tunnels and the tunnels, avoided the Grim Reaper hovering in the sky, and returned to the small cave where he lived.
"Yin Wensu, those people are unreliable, they will start a riot, but they will not care about the life or death of others, their purpose is the crown"
"Sure enough, those Frankish spies are very cold-blooded and selfish, if they really go according to their plan, the only ones who will escape in the end are the twelve guys with the crown, and everyone else will become part of this mass grave."
Yin Wensu looked like he was in control of the situation, and he did not show any nervousness and hesitation because of the upcoming crisis.
"Estimating the time, the situation on Dongdong's side should also take a turn for the better, it's time to rewrite this annoying tragedy!"
Yoush stared silently at this companion who was full of strange words, this guy has been showing more and more grotesque words and deeds lately.
"Yin Wensu, how did you know about those secret agents, how did you know the place and time of their meeting, how did you know that there were undead co-operatives behind those spies, you know so many things, it's like a legendary prophet."
Although Youshi is a boring person, he is not really a lump of wood, and after getting along with Yin Wensu for so long, he is determined to ask for clarification.
"Ahh Just like you say! Uncle Ben is a prophet! I know 500 years before and 500 years later, why don't you come and worship! ”
After Yin Wensu heard Youshi's question, he immediately made a very deliberate appearance and climbed directly down the pole.
"You're not a prophet, and you can predict that a prophet in the future can't be caught and locked up in this place by the undead scourge? What are you? ”
Youshi stared at Yin Wensu's hippie smile with inorganic eyes, and the two sides were deadlocked for twenty minutes, and Yin Wensu sighed.
"Alright! I am indeed not a prophet, but a ...... An unlucky traverser just as unlucky as you, Yosh of the Spiral Clan. ”
"You know about the Spirals? Who are you? Are you the one who survived that ruined world? ”
Flames of excitement suddenly burned in Youshi's originally inorganic eyes, and he was very much looking forward to Yin Wensu's origin, Youshi came from another world, their race was a human with a special power called Spiral Force, and they called themselves 'Spiral Clan'.
The Spiral Clan has established an unprecedentedly powerful civilization that will always maintain an upward momentum, but the end of the Spiral Civilization is to die together with the world that is gradually dying, and the Spiral Clan has long been unable to maintain its own civilization in the era when Yosh was born, and the remaining Spiral Clan can only survive in the gathering places all over the universe, and Yosh also came to this other world by accident.
"No, no, no, I'm not your kind of bug nation that can break through the sky, I'm just an ordinary human being."
Yin Wensu was very uncomfortable with the hot gaze of the fellow Youshi when he saw the fellow, so he waved his hand again and again and clarified his identity.
"I can know so many things because when I was still in my hometown, I read a novel called "Scientific Name Mao Yu"."
"And what happens in this world happens to be very similar to the content of this novel, I was not sure if the things in the novel were true at first, until that day I rescued a little girl who was injured in the quarry, and learned that her name was Dongdong, I really confirmed the accuracy of what was written in the novel, and it was you who originally saved Dongdong."
"Soon, the quarry will save the riot, and the Cult of the Cursed God will send a lot of troops to suppress the riot here, then there will be a group of death knights who will take this opportunity to rebel and then attack the headquarters of the Cult of the Damned, but the rebellion and the riot will eventually fail, only the leaders of the previous spies will take the crown and use the 'teleportation scroll' provided by the leader of the death knights to successfully escape from this place, while the others will be horrific and massacred, and you will also die for protecting Dongdong."
"Yin Wensu, you said I would die? Since you know that I am a spiral, then you must also know about the existence of spiral force, right? ”
"Of course I know the spiral force, but the strength of the spiral force is not reflected in the personal combat power, and the spiral clan is not a fighting nation that can tear the earth apart, and there are far more terrible guys in this world than you think, I advise you to be careful."
"Yin Wensu, you are a cunning person, what you said makes me unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but your previous performance has given me a little more confidence in Dongdong's safe return......"
Yosh paused, then regained his calm expression, his eyes changing from burning heat to inorganic.
"You're the first friend I've ever met since I came to this world, and I'll assist you no matter what your plans are."
The **** Kuta who returned from the headquarters of the Cult of the Damned God was in a very bad mood, and few people would be in a good mood after almost dying.
The other overseers would go to the quarry to abuse the slaves to vent when they were upset, but **** Kuta was watering flowers in the greenhouse in the courtyard of the villa, which was very gentlemanly and high-grade behavior in **** Kuta It seemed very vulgar to do.
The overseer's body was cautiously moving forward in the greenhouse, he struggled to grasp the handle of the watering can with his fat and thick fingers, and in the other hand he held a pair of pruning scissors.
Suddenly, **** Kuta sensed that someone was peeping at him with a curious gaze, and he turned his head suddenly, but he didn't see anything.
The fat overseer pretended to have let his guard down, and slowly turned around and continued to water the flowers and prune the foliage.
Sure enough, not long after he turned around, that curious gaze reappeared behind him.
So the fat overseer turned around at a faster pace, and this time he saw the figure at the entrance of the greenhouse shrunk back in a panic.
Dong Dong nervously pressed against the wall, her heart fluttered and throbbed, and the sudden turn of the fat uncle just now scared her a lot.
Because Dongdong's identity is just an experimental subject, **** Kuta didn't ban her feet, just told her subordinates not to let her escape from the villa, but in this villa where there are villains everywhere, the little guy doesn't dare to run around, and the maid sister here will say a few words to Dongdong, but she won't say too much, Dongdong feels as if she is hated.
After a few aimless turns, she saw the fat uncle who had fed her food in a greenhouse, and his mood had changed greatly from when he had left, which aroused the curiosity of the little one, so she hid at the entrance and secretly observed.
After waiting for the little heart to return to its normal beating rate, Dongdong poked his head out of the greenhouse again, only to see such a scene.
The chubby uncle was kneeling on the ground, holding the ground with one hand and pressing his waist with the other, his expression looking very painful.
The little one suddenly had a kind of 'Ahh I'm in trouble! But what made her strange was that the fat uncle didn't seem to be angry, so Dong Dong cautiously got closer, and after seeing that the fat uncle didn't make any drastic movements, she got closer to the other party.
“…… Uncle, are you alright? ”
Dong Dong, who finally moved to the side of **** Kuta, asked with concern.
The chief overseer looked at the little girl's alert appearance, and he knew that as long as his voice was a little harsh, the little girl would be frightened and run away, so he lowered his voice and said to Dong Dong.
"I ...... I'm fine...... You...... You ...... me first Help...... Push it out. ”
Kuta is obese and usually lacks exercise, and taking care of flowers in the greenhouse already makes him sore, but when he just turned around, he used too much force and flashed his waist.
Kuta weighed more than one hundred and twenty kilograms, and he didn't dare to push too Dongdong, because the child, who was trying to help him into the house, was as fragile as a straw stick.
If Kuta shouted loudly at this time, the attendants and subordinates around him would definitely come out to help him, but the fat overseer did not choose this easier and more comfortable method, he pressed his painful waist, and came to the potion room of the villa with the support of Dong Dong.
Kuta often flashed his waist in the greenhouse, so his pharmacist had a special preparation of healing potions, and after he made it to the stool to pan evenly, he was about to ask Dongdong to help him get the medicine, but he saw the little guy jumping up and down and turning out a pile of ingredients, and he actually began to prepare the potion on the spot.
When he was in Bologna, Dongdong had already trained the potion configuration very skillfully, and the raw materials in this dispensing room were very complete, so before the **** Kuta was surprised, Dongdong had already smashed the painkiller medicine into pieces and brought it to him.
"You...... Do you know how to dispense medicines? ”
It turns out that Dong Dong not only knows how to dispense medicine, but the medicine powder she hurriedly prepared is better than the plaster tossed by the pharmacist under **** Kuta, and the fat overseer feels the coolness of his waist and looks at this troublesome little girl with a very surprised gaze.
After some contact, the little guy's courage grew, she sat directly next to the **** Kuta, looked at the weird fat uncle very curiously for a while, and then asked.
"Uncle, do you like flowers very much?"
"No...... I don't like flowers. ”
Kuta didn't expect the kid to ask this question.
"Uncle doesn't like flowers?"
"No...... I love flowers. ”
"Huh?"
The little one made a strange cry, and she couldn't understand the fat uncle's answer.
"Ahem...... You're going to make me dizzy! Obedient! I don't like flowers! The flowers in that greenhouse are not mine either! ”
"I don't understand...... Do not understand. ”
Dongdong was a little depressed, and finally had an uncle who didn't hate talking to her, but she couldn't understand what the uncle said.
Kuta looked at Dongdong's expression, the corners of his mouth moved, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally said to the little one.
"Little girl, do you want to see magic?"
"Magic? Magic? I don't want to look at the bad magic that is used to bully people. ”
Dong Dong suddenly became vigilant, and there were magic experiments in those few days.
"It's not spiritism, it's just a little magic, it's something interesting, do you want to see it?"
"Really interesting?"
"It's really fun!"
"Oh...... Then I'm ...... Take a look, right? ”
Kuta couldn't help but be a little happy to see Knock Knock let down his guard, he stretched out the palm of his right hand to show Knock Knock, signaled that he didn't have anything in his hand, and then flicked his thumb on his index, ring and middle fingers under the little guy's confused gaze, and then he conjured a gold coin out of thin air.
The gold coin used for the performance was exchanged for a cry of surprise and pleasure.
"This ...... It's amazing! This magic is amazing! Uncle, how did you move in? ”
"Oh! Actually, I have a special handling method! (President: I'll work at the moving company tomorrow.) [Fog])
Kuta looked very proud, and his originally gloomy expression was relaxed.
"Do you want to see more and more interesting magic tricks?"
He asked Knock Knock with a smile.
"I want to! I want to see! ”
What does it mean to remember to eat or not, just look at this stupid guy who is completely attracted by the little tricks.
