Section 603 Mourning
After the night, the Ice Blue City fell silent, as if all the sounds had disappeared, and the streets were empty, not even the bells that normally carried fresh milk and the morning newspaper.
It seems that the weather has also been affected, the sky is gray, there is no ray of sunshine, and it is extremely oppressive.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that the silence was broken by the ringing of a bell. The melodious sound of bells emanates from the ice-carved castle, through the white stone pavement, towering brick walls, and red roofs, echoing over the city.
A hearse covered in black cloth and surrounded by white chrysanthemums slowly drove out of the imperial city.
The hearse was flanked by ten knights, men and women, all tall horses, cloaked in silver armor and helmets with red feathers.
The king's first ten attendants, the guards of the throne of Ice Blue City.
Behind the hearse was a group of princes and nobles, all wearing white flowers on their chests, with sad expressions.
On both sides of the Avenue of the Kings, straight stood a column of bright bayonets.
The red clothes and white pants on the left, gold epaulettes and silver buttons, luxurious and mighty. The black combat uniform on the right side is as calm as water, and the atmosphere of slaughter is pervasive.
The red-clothed ones are the Imperial City Guards, and the black-clothed ones are the Dragonscale Guards. They are the two most powerful troops in the Ambergris River, well-equipped and powerful, all selected by the elite of the army. The overall strength of the two forces is comparable to that of the king.
The hearse slowly drove forward, crossing King's Road and entering the main thoroughfare of Ice Blue City.
On both sides of the road stood many spontaneous nobles and commoners, with solemn expressions, and saluted the hearse.
When the hearse passed, some people couldn't help but weep or touch their handkerchiefs to wipe their tears.
Many people spontaneously came to see off the good old king. The reign of the twenty-second emperor of Malan was eighty-seven years, and although he did not make a great feat to boast about as the kings of previous dynasties, he brought about eighty-seven years of tranquility and peace.
People live and work in peace and contentment, and the country recuperates.
Maybe it's a bit mediocre, but it's a good king.
At the same time, all cities in the United Kingdom of Ambergris sounded the death knell and hung black strips of cloth symbolizing mourning.
The death knell rang for a long time, and the whole country was retained.
However, compared to the sad send-off scene, the candlelight hall at this moment is a different scene.
Several female officers were half-kneeling under the high platform, all of them beautiful women with hot bodies and charming faces. At this moment, their faces were unusually flushed, revealing the extreme excitement in their hearts.
The leader stood up and said to the hazy and graceful figure in the mist, "Congratulations to the Empress, our great cause can finally be achieved." ”
"Hehehe......"
High-pitched laughter came from the mist.
Presumptuous, enchanting, frivolous, and comfortable.
The death of the old king was a sad and sad one for some, but a joy and joy for others.
After twenty years of waiting, it was finally time to pick the fruit.
The laughter lasted for several minutes, coquettish, wanton, and full of unstoppable arrogance.
After the laughter, there was silence for a few seconds, and the voice in the fog sounded again, becoming soft and calm, "This is just the beginning, there are still a few months before the real victory, please don't be careless." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As the third princess, Trilith was supposed to attend the funeral, but she was naturally unwilling to see off her political enemies, even if she was a fake.
At the same time, in the corner of the Red Fort in Monitor Lizard City, a richly dressed middle-aged man with a sturdy body half-knelt on the ground, heading in the direction of Ice Blue City, bursting into tears. He was the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon, Salrod Maris, and at this moment he had nothing but regret and self-reproach for the kind old king.
However, when the sorrow is over, wipe away the tears, what to do and how to do, this is the consciousness of being the master of a country.
In the center of the Red Castle, in the candle-lit hall, the graceful figure leans softly against the armrest, and the delicate curves make people reverie.
"You say, should I shed two tears?"
The lazy voice came from between the thin lips, with a soft nasal sound, which was blurry and intoxicating, and the bones were weak to listen to.
"Your Majesty thinks that for the sake of an unrelated person, it is not necessary." The woman standing on the left side of the throne, with a more mature and elegant figure, said.
"Anyway, that old guy is my cheap grandfather too." Said the maiden on the throne.
"As the saying goes, the dead are great, and the necessary etiquette should still be observed." The plump and toned woman standing on the right side of the throne said.
"Presumptuous, Your Highness is a body of gold, how can you casually cry for an old man!" "Since the surname is recognized, there should be corresponding responsibility, only that
Only then can we gather the hearts of the people and speak rightly. ”
As if the sparks fell into diesel, the two women on the left and right were tense and-for-tat.
"Okay, don't fight with the two Aiqing." The girl on the throne waved her hand to stop, "In this matter, I think Bai Liu has a point, since I am the fifth princess of the Malan royal family, my grandfather died, I should always say something." ”
"But ......," the maiden on the throne hesitated, "what if I can't cry?" ”
"And I want to laugh ......"
"Hahaha, old immortal guy, finally give way to me!"
"If you really can't cry, you can use some eye drops." "It's okay to apply some ginger ale, and the tears will come out at once." The two women on the left and right suggested.
"You seem to be very skilled...... "The maiden on the throne snorted.
The two women seemed to have been pierced in their hearts, their faces turned red, and they turned away at the same time.
While the three women in the hall were discussing how to fake, in the storage room of the underground anthill in Orchid Town, Chen Xing was standing in front of the huge mirror with Suna in his arms.
At this moment, the scene in the mirror is completely different from the two outside.
Chen Xing outside the mirror was more than half a head taller than Suna, hugging his delicate body,
The arm is passed under the opponent's armpit, and the palm of the hand is naturally placed in the fullest place. The petite head tilted slightly and snuggled into his arms.
But inside the mirror, there is a different scene, a tall beauty is holding the dry arm of the "living corpse Chen Xing". The beauty is more than half a head taller than him, and Yeyang Bailiu, who is more than one meter and eight meters tall, is not much more than a little taller.
Although the dress on her body is also old and dilapidated, and it is obviously small, like an adult wearing a child's clothes, and it is torn a lot, but her posture and appearance are very different from Chen Xing, who is like a rotting corpse.
First of all, he is a healthy living person, with white and red skin, crystal clear, as if he can pinch out water.
The second is a mature beauty, with a good figure, enlarged breasts and willow waist, the big place is big, the small place is small, the face is even more charming and moving, the eyebrows are full of style, and she is a big royal sister.
Although her figure and temperament are different, her appearance is very similar to Suna's, and her green eyes are exactly the same, as if Suna's face has been magnified by thirty percent.
"Brother, who is the person in the mirror?" Suna asked curiously. The living dead are her food, so she is not afraid, and the big sister, who looks so familiar, can't remember who it is.
Suna was in an anthill and barely looked in the mirror, so she had no idea what she looked like.
"Maybe ......," Chen Xing sighed, "this is who we will be many years later." ”
His voice was a little lonely. Just now, he first asked Suna, who was in the form of a queen, to look in the mirror, and inside was a queen ant with a lilac glow on its carapace and a much larger body.
If he guessed correctly, the Conservation Mirror revealed a vision of the future.
Thousands of years later, he was a decomposing corpse, and Suna was just an adult.
Compared to mutated creatures, human life is pitifully short.
"Why, why is this happening?" As if thinking of something, Suna's expression became a little nervous, and she hugged Chen Xing hard.
At this time, the eldest royal sister in the mirror also showed nervousness, carelessly, using too much force, and with a snap, the entire arm of the "living corpse Chen Xing" was removed.
Gradually, Suna understood the scene in the mirror, the big sister was the future her, and the living corpse that she used to eat on weekdays was her dearest brother.
A layer of mist floated in her big green eyes, but she still wanted to confirm again, pointing to the living corpse in the mirror, "Brother, that, is that you?" ”
"Hmm......" Chen Xing nodded, his expression a little sad. It doesn't matter who you are, the king is still a beggar, and in the end you are still a dry bone and a cup of loess.
Seeing his lonely appearance, Suna's tears fell down with a click.
"Suna is good, don't cry......" Chen Xing wiped Suna's warm tears and comforted, "People will always die, sooner or later." This is the law of nature, and there is no need to be sad. ”
Suna cried even harder, "Woo woo, I don't want my brother to die, I don't want it!" ”
Chen Xing's heart suddenly moved, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile.
Obviously, this "movement" is not a moving movement, but a moving movement that moves the brain.
"Suna, what would you do if your brother died?" Chen Xing asked.
"Woo woo, my brother won't die!"
"I mean, suppose, suppose I'm dead, what would you do?"
"I, I don't know......" Suna looked stunned.
"Will you go find another brother?" Chen Xing asked guidedly.
"No, Suna has only one brother in her heart!" Suna shook her head desperately, "Even if my brother dies, Suna won't look for another brother." Her expression was serious and firm, and there were tears on her face, innocent and cute.
"If that brother dies and you're the only one left, what will you do?" Chen Xing continued to ask. For men, this question is important.
"I, I'm ......" Suna tilted her little head and thought for a while, then said, "I'll keep my brother, and I'll keep guarding it all the time." ”
"And what if my body is rotten?" Chen Xing continued to assume.
"I'm still guarding, holding my brother to sleep every day." Suna said innocently.
"What would you do if there was only a pile of bones left, and then there were no bones, nothing left?" Chen Xing broke the casserole and asked in the end, and in the end, there was not even a scum, what should I do with her?
"I, I, I ......" This question seemed to stump the simple girl, who held it for most of the day, and said with a small fist in her eyes, "I will eat my brother in my stomach and then commit suicide." ”
"Well, Suna is so good!" Chen Xing rubbed the girl's soft hair with satisfaction. For a man, this is already the most perfect answer.
Although he was born in the new era, he is still very feudal in the depths of his heart, and even if he dies, he doesn't want his woman to be infected.
First widowhood, after all, a man can't be at a certain age, and then he guards the grave, and finally martyrdom, which is simply perfect.
I was in a good mood, and I came to the scene with a shot, which was crooked.
Especially looking in the mirror and looking at the living corpses inside to spoil the big royal sister, double pleasure.
After finishing the work, Chen Xing asked the goblins and termites to cooperate to cover a very thick canvas on the mirror.
"No one is allowed to approach without my orders."
"Okay, brother."
This is a secret treasure that must be hidden in the most reliable place. The anthill is undoubtedly the safest, unless it is a king-level powerhouse, no one dares to easily enter the nest of the queen of the hundred nests.
However, he didn't plan to make too much use of the mirror, but sealed it. The wizards of the Demon World warn future generations that excessive use of the power of mirrors can lead to the destruction of the world.
He does not have a high consciousness, but the basic principle of life is "not to take the initiative to harm people who have no interests".
If he causes the destruction of the world, not to mention those who are close to him, even if they have no relationship, he will feel sorry, because this is the most basic morality of human beings.
He admonished himself unless
It is necessary, otherwise the power of the Conservation Mirror will not be easily used.
He had a hypothesis in mind.
The self in the mirror is the self thousands of years later, and replacement is to exchange the present for the future.
Suppose the SCAR in his hands is really a product of the future of this world.
Then he will take it to research and production, and it will change the future.
According to the theory of the Void Occult, once time and space change, there will be an invisible force to correct it.
The two sides are directly proportional, and the greater the degree of change, the greater the power of correction.
And when the power of space and space exceeds the limits of this world, the world will collapse.
For his own sake and those around him, he must use it with extreme care. Self-control, away from demons.
After sealing the mirror, Chen Xing returned to the mansion.
At this time, the windows of the mansion were not hung with black cloth to represent mourning, and there was no mourning ceremony to light white candles, as in other fringe towns.
The funeral of Maran XXII did not affect his daily life. In his opinion, they are not related to each other, they have not even met, and there is no obligation to mourn.
Although the old king has died, there are still a few months before the real turmoil/turmoil. Next, the third prince, Ryan Malan, the hard-working gay man, will ascend the throne and become the new king of Ice Blue City. Then Cuilisi was involved in politics behind the scenes, excluded dissidents, gradually monopolized the court, and finally killed the king and killed her husband, and ascended the throne as the queen of Ice Blue City, the whole country was furious, and then rose everywhere, and the era of the bloody queen began.
The time is three years ahead of the previous life. And in the memory of the previous life, he had no impression of the fourth prince Qiao An.
Maybe he was killed by the Great Prince during those three years, or he was dormant until he was slapped to death by the Great Demon.
Regardless of the real situation, the butterfly's wings vibrated gently because of his presence, and the world was turned upside down.
Just thinking about what to do in the hollow period in the next few months, Lin Shiyuan suddenly came to visit and suggested that Chen Xing learn from other marginal towns to mourn the monarch.
"Does it make sense?" Chen Xing disagreed.
"My lord, we are nominally subjects of the kingdom. When the monarch dies, it is still necessary to make a show. If we do nothing, we are likely to be used as a black spot for future political opponents. Lin Shiyuan persuaded him. Since joining Chen Xing's camp, he began to call Chen Xing "Lord Gong".
This is the name of the people in the Eastern Continent, and the Red Country is still called "master" and "master" mostly.
Seeing that the lord didn't react, Lin Shiyuan said again, "I just received the news that even the demon princess attended the memorial service in monitor lizard city and shed a few tears. ”
"Really fake ......" Chen Xing couldn't believe that the demon girl would actually shed tears, this is too bloody!
"It's true!" Lin Shiyuan took out a note, "I just wrote a small poem, and I went back to find someone to write it in black cloth and white paint, and hung it at the gate of the town, which showed that we were more sincere." ”
Chen Xing took it and looked at it, and the writing was not bad.
Ma Lanhua blooms in the underworld, and Yama comes to see it all over the place;
After drying this bowl of Meng Po soup, I will fight again in the next life.
"Heroic is very arrogant, but the state religion of our red country is the Holy Light Church, and people pay attention to going to heaven, so it doesn't seem appropriate to go to the underworld, right?" Chen Xing wondered.
"Ma Lan Twenty-two believed in New Zen Buddhism in his later years, but not many people in the country know about it, but the aristocratic circles of Ice Blue City understand it." Lin Shiyuan explained.
"Okay, you can do it." "Thank you, lord!"
In the next few days, under Lin Shiyuan's responsibility, the memorial service in Orchid Town was also properly organized.
Indeed, as Lin Shiyuan said, although he and the old king are not related, but after all, he is a subject of the kingdom, and the king is like a father, if he doesn't do anything, Mayor Ambisi and Mayor Bert may not say anything, but the old-fashioned nobles like Mayor Prad will definitely be dissatisfied.
When you meet someone with ulterior motives, it will become one of the black spots.
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and do what should be done, so as not to provoke criticism.
"Didi!"
When he participated in the chase meeting, Chen Xing's black watch suddenly rang.
With Akita's help, a small satellite signal receiving station has been built and access to the scientific observatory has been requested. There is already a weak satellite signal in a small area of the town, but not everyone can connect, only a few fixed sub-terminals can be connected, and the signal is intermittent and sometimes ineffective.
But it's already very good, compared to the previous news blockage, it's a cloud and mud.
[Fragments of the New World found in the Grimm Continent, numbered 10067553, tentatively named "No. 39 Divine World"]
[Security Level: High Risk, Unstable Spatial Entrance, Random Teleportation]
[Nature of development: free to explore]
[Exploration advantages: the probability of fakes and undercurrent fragments being unearthed is high]
The Grimm Continent is one of the world's six major land plates, a land blessed by the legendary goddess of forests.
Due to the effects of radiation mutation, the plants are unusually tall. The vegetation covers a wide area, and mutated organisms are rampant. Because of the sparse population and small development, anyone who goes to open up the wasteland, regardless of nationality, can get the land canonized by the Human Survival Committee, so it is also called the "New World" by the mercenaries.
The world of gods is a relatively advanced world fragment, and the number 39 represents the thirty-eight world fragments that have been found similarly.
The danger is high and the space is unstable, and no dimensional development company is willing to take it, so everyone is free to explore and does not have to pay a 35% tax on harvest.
In order to make money, Chen Xing asked Sola to pay attention to exploring the fragments of the world with high value, so there was the current scene.
"Didi!"
The black watch rang again, and an email popped up.
The sender was impressively written-Zhao Ruoxi.
