Chapter 1644: Reason
As soon as the king spoke, the ministers of civil and military affairs also opened fire on the general, condemning him for his rebellion and demanding that the miracle stone be sacrificed as soon as possible.
Wisdom's face was ugly, but he kept his head down and didn't speak.
Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to stop the others, and then asked, "Weishidi, don't worry! I won't take the miracle stone for nothing." Say it! As long as I have it in the Holy Dragon City, as long as you need it, you can change it! Do you want the Spring of Life Water? I can also give you a bottle!"
"Fountain of Life?!" There was a sound of cold air at the scene, and Old Nick kept trembling, "Yes! Yes! That's the Fountain of Life! What are you hesitating about exchanging a broken stone for the Fountain of Life?"
Wisdom lowered his head and was silent for a while before replying, "Lord Keane, I can agree to anything you want, but this miracle stone is really ......."
"Oh, you don't want to give it?" Jia Zhengjin frowned.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't give it!" said West, bowing his head, "Please forgive me, Lord Keane!"
"Are you crazy?" Old Nick was very anxious, "Isn't it just a broken stone handed down by his ancestors? Since it doesn't have any effect, it's not enough to be able to exchange it for a bottle of Life Spring Water?
"That's it!"
"General Weishidi, isn't it just a broken stone?"
"Fountain of Life! It's a legendary treasure that can prolong life, and only the elves possess it!"
"This is a great opportunity! What are you hesitating about if you live for decades, or even hundreds of years, for a useless broken stone?"
"If I had the Miracle Stone, I would have dedicated it to Lord Keane!"
"It's just! a useless broken stone......
Including the king, the ministers of civil and military affairs persuaded Weishidi together, and they were even more anxious than themselves.
Westy's face changed several times, and finally he stubbornly shook his head: "Lord Keane, please forgive me for not agreeing to this one!"
"Westy!!" Old Nick was anxious, knowing that it was a miracle that Master Keane could come to Maros. Now that the whole country should fully cooperate, why don't you go against it? Isn't it just a useless broken stone? Although it has been handed down by your ancestors, Lord Keane is willing to exchange the water of life, and is not satisfied?
Seeing that the old king and the minister of civil and military affairs were glaring angrily at Wei Shidi, Jia Zhengjin looked at the tangled expression on the other party's face, and felt that he had something unspeakable, so he stopped them loudly, and then looked at Wei Shidi: "It seems that you should have something unspeakable, not only can you tell me?"
Wei Shidi raised his head and looked at Jia Zhengjin gratefully, and then sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, colleagues! I'm sorry, I deceived everyone before!"
"What do you mean?" asked Old Nick, confused.
The ministers of civil and military affairs also stared at Weishidi, unable to take their eyes off it.
Wisdom bowed his head and said, "I really can't sacrifice the Miracle Stone, because it's about Negi's life!"
"Negi, who is Neji?" Hearing the name, Jia Zhengjin turned his head and asked Old Nick.
"Report to Master Keane," replied Old Nick softly with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Negi is the son of Westy, and he is thirteen years old. ”
"Oh!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "West, why is the Miracle Stone related to your son's life?"
"Isn't the Miracle Stone a broken stone of no use?" asked Old Nick at once.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, colleagues, I deceived you. Wisdom replied tremblingly, "I didn't want to say it, but Negi can't leave the Miracle Stone......"
"What's going on?" Jia Zhengjin asked solemnly when he saw that he didn't look like he was lying.
"Report to Lord Keane, in fact, Negi almost died when he was three years old!" said Westdee tremblingly, "Your Majesty, fellow workers, I wonder if you still remember Negi when he was three years old?"
"Of course I remember!" recalls Old Nick, "there were thieves who entered the city, and you fought to the death at the gates, only to have your house broken in. At that time, the family was slaughtered, and the three-year-old Negi was also stabbed through the heart. Luckily, he survived, like a miracle...... Of course I know all about your contribution to Maros, otherwise I wouldn't have reused you and been promoted to a general!"
"Your Majesty has been so gracious to me," said Wise, respectfully, "that my colleagues have also been kind to me. So for so many years, there is a secret buried in my heart, which makes me feel extremely guilty to this day! There is really no way to do this situation today! Lord Keane, it stands to reason that you are the hero who saved the world, and you are our savior, and I will never refuse your request. But the Miracle Stone is now equivalent to Negi's life, I ......"
"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly!" asked Old Nick in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty!" Wisdom took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "actually...... When Negi was three years old, he would have died! His heart was pierced by thieves, and I was dead by the time I arrived......"
"Impossible! Isn't the guitar alive and well?" Old Nick and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs all widened their eyes.
"Yes!" replied Westward, "because the Miracle Stone had melted into his body and became Negi's heart. When I returned home, I was devastated to see that the whole family had died tragically, and even Naji had lost his breath. He wanted to bury his family properly, but it turned out that the miracle stone he wore on Naiji's body suddenly shone brightly, and then the stone entered his body along the wound and merged with the broken heart. Negi's injuries miraculously healed and slowly came back to life. I witnessed Negi's resurrection from the dead, and I realized that the Miracle Stone handed down from my ancestors was no ordinary stone! If the power of the Miracle Stone is known, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect it with my strength. Once the Miracle Stone is taken away, it means that Negi will die again. I want to protect Negi, I can't let the child die!In desperation, I can only tell a lie, so that everyone mistakenly thinks that Negi is dead, and at the same time, the miracle stone is just a broken stone, and it has no effect...... If you were to take the Miracle Stone, Lord Keane, my child would ...... Please spare your life!!"
Wisdom fell to his knees, kowtowing desperately and begging for mercy, his forehead "knocking" against the hard floor, and he felt very painful to watch.
His words made Old Nick and all the civil and military ministers on the scene stunned, because no one would have imagined that this would be the case.
Even Jia Zhengjin fell into deep thought, at a loss for a while.
He is bound to obtain the Miracle Stone, because by collecting all the Divine Stones, he can obtain the power of eternal life. It's an irresistible temptation, even for Jia Zhengjin.
But if Westy hadn't lied, the Miracle Stone had become Negi's heart. Take out the stone, and the child will not die?
For his own desires, killing an innocent child is too cruel for Jia Zhengjin to imagine.
