Chapter 421: The King (2)
Eich died.
And what the old king and Eichic had just said......
Jace had a look of confusion on his face, things were going a little more than he expected, he was a little dazed.
Yes, things are changing so fast that not only Jace, but also some other people who don't know the truth, will also be very surprised, and even shocked on the spot.
"Jace, my child, don't be surprised. The old king let out a hard breath, and he patted Jace on the shoulder, a warm smile in his eyes.
"Your Majesty. β
A purple-robed fourth-level True Meaning wizard Shuk emerged from the void, and he looked at the old king who looked very tired and very old, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Shuk, don't worry, don't worry. β
"I know my condition, I can't, really, I'm very old, I'm really coming to the end of my life. β
The old king smiled reluctantly at the fourth-level True Meaning wizard named Shuk.
"You ......," Jace's lips moved slightly.
"Jace, my child, you must wonder what is going on. β
The old king looked at Jace, his speech slurred and staccato, but his gaze at Jace was extremely bright, and he said, "My child, I am sorry that I deceived you. β
"From the very beginning, I knew that Eichke was not actually the prince of our principality of Saint Laurent, hehe, although Eich performed very well, how could he hide it from me. β
"In my eyes, his performance was full of flaws, all of which were flawed. β
"It's just that at that time, you happened to be affected by some other things, so I wanted to use him to secretly provoke you, and after you regained a little confidence, I killed Eshik, but I didn't think that my child, your behavior was beyond my expectations, and it was really good. β
"So I changed my original plan, let Eshick become a whetstone, and at the same time let you grow, I wanted to see how far you could go, but I didn't expect that you could do this, a palace coup d'Γ©tat silently, hehe, Jace, my son, you can do this, and you can be described as ordinarily good. β
The old king kept talking.
Jace listened, his lips twitching slightly, and he wanted to say something.
"Your Highness, everything Your Majesty has done is for you. Shuk bowed slightly to Jace and said.
"For me?"
Jace lowered his eyelids, but his mind was puzzled.
As if seeing the doubts in Jace's heart, the old king opened his mouth and continued, "Jace, our Holy Thorn Flower Principality must have a king, and a strong king, not a weak and incompetent. β
"Your planning and forbearance in the past few years, we have all seen it, every time you accumulate strength, every concession and shadow in the dark, step by step, I am really satisfied. β
The old king laughed and said, "God really favors me, and has given me such an excellent son." β
Jace was silent.
He didn't speak.
But there were waves in his heart, extremely shocked, Jace really didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this, his very powerful opponent Isic, turned out to be just a whetstone acting on him, and his father, the old king, looked old and faint, but he was watching everything in secret.
Estimate...... No one could have imagined that.
Jace was not at peace.
"Your Highness, your method of gathering wizards is very good, but do you think that the price you gave really recruited a powerful fourth-level true intent, even if you once saved her by chance and had a saving grace for her?" Shuk spoke softly again.
As soon as the words fell, there was an invisible and subtle fluctuation in the air, and an old woman in a navy blue robe appeared, bowing slightly towards Jace.
"Your Highness, it has been a pleasure to accompany you and witness your growth in the past few years. "The old woman was very old, but she was full of an indescribable grace and luxury.
"Mrs. Snee......"
Jace raised an eyebrow.
"Sni's true identity is one of the few powerful wizards in charge of our Holy Thorn Playboy Royal Wizarding Order, and her true purpose is to protect you from other people's harm and your life. The old king's voice rang in Jace's ears.
At this time, the old king looked at Jace, whose face had finally changed, revealing a trace of dazed and helpless expression, and suddenly showed a hint of apology, and said, "Jace, my child, please forgive me. β
"I'm sorry. β
"If I do this, I may get you a blow, but I can't help it. β
"Kid, you should know that the Lionheart Flame Principality, the territory that we are working with on the surface, right, in the Lionheart Flame Principality, those two highnesses are not ordinary characters, if you are not strong enough, when you become a king in the future, you will have to face more things, and you will have to bear more pressure. β
"You may not even be able to bear it. β
The old king took Jace's hand tightly, stared at Jace, and said, "Forgive me, my child. β
At this moment, Jace looked at the old king's face, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
His heart was completely messed up.
"I ...... Father, you are for my good. Jace pursed his lips and said.
"Good Jace, good. β
The old king's face showed a look of relief, and he reached out again, touched Jace's well-defined face, touched Jace's stiff beard, and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness." β
"Don't you want to be king?"
"After that you will be king. β
"Jace......"
The old king's arm stiffened suddenly, and then fell heavily.
He was not breathing, he was dead.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The powerful secret guards of the palace exclaimed, and they quickly knelt on the ground, and even Shuke and their four powerful fourth-level true intent wizards bowed down to express their condolences and respect.
Only Jace was still standing.
Jace looked at the old king's body on the bed, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.
He closed his eyes, and it didn't take long for him to open them again, but there was something inexplicable on his face.
"Father. β
"Father. β
Jace sighed silently in his heart, and his body went limp, and he fell to his knees towards the old king's corpse.
............
Merlin waited in the passage.
It's been a while since Ishick and Jace left, but Jace and Ishick, their knights and wizards, are still facing each other and don't want to back down.
However, the reason why Morin didn't leave was not because of the wizards and knights, but because when the wizards and knights fought just now, the scene caused was too terrifying, and the surrounding energy was stirred, forming violent energy rays and energy particles, making everything around him very unstable, if he went out before, he would definitely expose his whereabouts, there is no doubt about it.
If that's the case, then it's a lot of fun.
After the surrounding energy calmed down a little, Merlin used his own void talent, and his body moved, directly disappearing into the surrounding void, completely disappearing.
"I didn't expect that the Holy Thorn Flower Principality has so many fourth-level true intentions, and it is usually inconspicuous. Mo Lin thought of what had just happened, and his heart moved slightly, filled with an indescribable inexplicable feeling.
True meaning.
The existence of the fourth-level true meaning.
If you don't become a fourth-level true meaning, in the wizard's world, there will always be two completely different existences.
Merlin appeared in the forest near the city of Taya, and just as he was about to continue, he heard the neighing of horses.
A group of knights dressed in gray secret iron armor, shrouded in heavy armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed, were escorting a figure, running non-stop on the road.
"Jace, is that him?" Morin frowned at the sight of the figure.
Although Merlin was still hidden, Jace seemed to have spotted him, Jace reined in his horse with a cry, and the other knights followed Jace, and their momentum suddenly changed at this time, slowing down and stopping in unison.
Just this shows how simple these knights in front of them are.
"Maureen. β
"Maureen Olsen!"
Jace made a few gestures toward the knights, motioning for them to wait, while he turned and walked in the direction of Morin.
