Three days have passed since the chaos that took place in Morning Star, and the city is still full of gloom.

The streets were full of mercenaries with missing arms and legs, and they gathered on both sides of the street with resentment and frustration on their faces, looking at the guards with unfriendly eyes.

The atmosphere was a little oppressive and strange, and most of the guards had unnatural guilt in their eyes, and they never fought back even in the face of the mercenaries' provocations.

"Doglegs!"

"A shrunken turtle raised by a son of a bitch!"

"The first to run away!"

An elderly mercenary with a broken leg scolded with a rough wooden stick, and the young guard closest to him had a blue and red face, clenched his teeth, and almost wrote the word shame on his face.

He couldn't fight back.

On that day, after Charles III threw away the chaotic situation in Liberty Square and ran away, he opened the barrier of the palace, not to mention, and feared that it would not be safe enough, so he removed half of the guards in the square to protect himself, and three days later, sent them out to "control the situation", so these guards who were forced to act on orders became veritable turtles with shrunken heads.

Although the chaotic Alien Fire Cult members quickly withdrew after that earth-shattering explosion, the fact that the king of a country was the first to flee still made the people who witnessed this truth very desperate.

Even the ministers who were brought into the palace enchantment by him at that time all said that it was so inappropriate, and so on.

"There are 200,000 people on the Morning Star! But there is only one king! ”

In the face of the dissuasion of the ministers, he retorted angrily.

Unexpectedly, this angry sentence spread far and wide, and became a joke for the mercenaries and swordsmen who held on to the last in the chaos.

……

"Lao Tzu has two legs! But only one head! ”

Old Bill yelled, he seemed to have drunk too much again.

"Old thing, have you forgotten that you only have one leg left!" The companion who was blind next to him reminded him, his face covered with scars from burns.

"So what, hasn't our king forgotten that he has only 150,000 people left?"

Old Bill spat the ground.

They can only use this way to vent their dissatisfaction.

……

The teams from Turing and Jialan left as soon as possible, and they didn't even send anyone to inform them.

Charles III was well aware that this was an expression of displeasure.

This competition, which was originally held to show the national strength of Morning Star, came to an abrupt end, and the glory that failed to show the world was all changed and slapped loudly in his face.

By the way, the way he looked at Loraine was even more unfriendly.

The eldest prince and the second prince were stationed in the fortress near the Black Thorn Forest, and had just set out on their way home three days ago.

The black-clothed Sword Saint Crito also sent a distress signal, but considering that he had only left the Morning Star ten days ago, it was estimated that it would take a while to receive the signal and come back.

But that didn't mean Charles III would rest on his laurels: he ordered the Elemental Tower to be sealed off the day after the incident.

The death of Chief Priest Chris Coldwind left the Elemental Tower leaderless, and the Alien Fire Cultists who had been staying inside were in their cars, and in front of the heavily armed royal army, the elemental mages were almost powerless to fight back.

The gods they had worked so hard to serve remained silent at this time. So all the people were shackled and sent to prison.

It was also the time when the density of mages in the history of the Imperial Prison was the highest.

After doing all this, half of Charles III's hanging heart was relieved, and half of it was still on the mysterious man of that day.

He remembered very well that the other party had been confronting that skeleton frame for a long time, and if it weren't for him, the casualties might have been even heavier.

But after the incident, it was as if the person had disappeared, just like his appearance, which was confusing.

Charles III hated the power of being too powerful – especially since it was out of his control, which made him feel insecure.

At this time, Loran appeared, and he said that Sulia had returned with a mysterious master, and it was very likely that this person appeared that day.

Speaking of Surya, Charles III remembered that there seemed to be a very strange scene that happened that day - a "whirlpool" that could not be explained by a court mage devoured three people, including the "Rose of the Morning Star" and Wynne Garcia, the headmaster of Morrowind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Luo Lan, and became more and more angry.

This waste can't even look at his fiancée!

Luo Lan was frightened by the king's glance, and immediately lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.

Speaking of which, the third prince is also miserable, the original black cauldron was thrown by him to Chris, but the latter couldn't bear the weight of the black cauldron and died, causing him to become the only person responsible for the accident. In addition, the idea of the challenge was also put forward by him in order to cater to the king's happy character, and he originally wanted to improve his royal status while making a lot of money, but the result was self-defeating, and the surprise turned into a fright, and the heavy loss suffered by Morning Star could not be made up for by opening ten more challenges, and it is estimated that the final account will be counted on his head......

As for his only dependent, Wood was still dead, and he died inexplicably, and he didn't even see what was happening.

Later, he tried to show favor to Langdon, the chief of the guard, but the boy didn't give face, and he went up to his death and ran straight towards the holy lake......

Now I guess he doesn't even have scum left...... In the midst of such a big explosion.

Thinking of this, a trace of despair suddenly surged in Luo Lan's heart.

The eldest and second brothers are rushing back, and Lord Crito will be returning to Morning Star in the near future......

If they pursue it, it will end up on me......

The more Loren thought about it, the more terrible he felt, whether it was befriending the sinner Chris Coldwind or bringing strangers to watch the battle without permission, he couldn't escape it, plus the vague hint of divorce from His Excellency Crito before......

For a short while, the cold sweat behind his back soaked his clothes.

"Are you hot?"

The king glanced at his unsuccessful son, and when he saw that sweat was dripping from his forehead, he asked casually.

Hot?

After experiencing a big explosion and seeing the fires in Liberty Square, Loren seems to have developed a fear of the word. As soon as he heard it, it was like a fire ignited in his heart, and the flames gradually burned his consciousness, so that he even forgot to respond to the king.

"Are you deaf!"

Charles III roared angrily.

It seems that it is not only him who is afraid, but His Majesty's nerves are also much more sensitive than before.

Lorraine suddenly found that his mind was unusually clear, and he looked up, and he could even see the fear hidden behind the anger on the king's face.

Because of fear, he is sensitive, so he should show his majesty with such a hysterical rebuke.

This majesty is like a hallucinogenic poison that makes people feel momentarily happy and forget their fears.

Yes, a fleeting pleasure, what a false disguise.

So what is eternal?

It was as if there was an answer in his heart.

"Strength."

That's right, power is everything, with it, wealth, power, status, women, are all at your fingertips.

So how do you gain power? For a prince in his thirties who still has achieved nothing, can he put aside everything he has to risk with mercenaries?

That's simply not realistic.

At this time, the voice in my heart was responding again.

"The essence of this world is equivalent exchange."

"As long as you give something, you can get whatever you want."

"Wealth, power, status, women, these are all but illusory."

"All you have to do is get the power, and that's easy."

Luo Lan's heart was pounding, he didn't even think about where this sound came from, it was like a silent spring rain, quietly coming.

"Get out! Get me out! ”

The king roared several times, but Lorain did not react, and angrily drove him out.

Lorraine suddenly looked up at him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending you, I just ...... Just not feeling well......"

The strangeness on his face flashed, and he quickly knelt down in panic.

"Hmph."

Charles III snorted coldly, and then leaned on the throne contentedly.

"Get the hell out of here."

"Yes."

Lorraine turned to leave.

A gold and red emblem loomed on the back of his neck, and the light flashed, and Charles III couldn't help frowning.

"Loraine—"

"Your Majesty?"

The third prince lowered his head in fear.

Am I dazzled? Never mind.

"Go down."

Charles III then waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes."

……

At the same time, somewhere in the shadows of the Morning Star, the Alien Fire Sect Sect Sect Sect T

"Master Garden has another devout believer, I didn't expect Chris's dog to do good deeds."

"Give everything you have to gain strength, Your Highness the Third Prince."
