Chapter 174: A New Choice (2)
Everyone got out of the car, and in front of them was a group of black-helmeted and black-armored heavily armed soldiers, and standing in front of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, whom Cheberkeley knew, who was none other than his cousin, the former heir of Atlas, and now the king of Atavar.
Behind him was the Tenotiran Army, and the news that the two countries were about to merge was true—what did it have to do with me?
King Atavar's face was full of spring breeze: "My dear brother, why are you in a hurry to leave without greeting one?"
Cheberkeley's face turned pale: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and I, a humble fellow like an ant, will not bother Your Majesty." ”
"I don't want to kill you. However, if such a thing as a usurper is lightly let go, wouldn't it encourage everyone to do so?" King Atawar shook his head and sighed, "If you don't choose to run away, maybe I will consider sending you to a place away from everyone's eyes and living the rest of your life peacefully." ”
Cheberkeley smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought a lot in prison and learned a little. ”
"Oh?
"A good cook is not necessarily a good boss. Even if I succeeded, I couldn't hold it up. But by the time I understood, it was too late. ”
Atavar laughed, "My brother, it's good that you can realize such a truth in less than ten days in prison. So, do you know what I've learned from my monkey career in the past year?"
"Please, my cousin. ”
"I ran in the storm looking for a hollow in a tree to hide from the rain, I was covered in mud and lying in the stinking water of the swamp to hide from the swamp lizards, I ventured into a human town to steal a bunch of roasted bananas to remember that I was once a human—and it was in the life of such a half-man, half-beast that I suddenly understood those who we looked down on like monkeys. Live, yes, live. ”
Atavar was silent for a while, and said, "I dare not say whether Kuruma will be able to govern Atlas well, but his plot will completely destroy Atlas and make most people unable to survive - just like Gutnotiran back then." And you, my brother, you, unlike him, came to Dallas with the reinforcements and saw that you were ordering your men to do their best to maintain order in the chaos. ”
Cheberkeley smiled bitterly: "Now that I say this, what's the difference?"
"Absolutely. You gave up your ambitions at the last moment to keep those people alive. So, I want you to live, that's my choice, so what about you?"
"He's. Julius whispered in Cheberkeley's ear, "He is very weak, go and kneel, take him hostage, and we will flee." ”
Cheberkeley's eyes twinkled.
Beryana's fists clenched, her fingertips white, unable to utter a word, trembling as she waited for Cheberkeley's choice.
Cheberkeley stepped forward slowly, and the guards behind Atavar took a step forward at the same time, showing their swords and guns.
Atavar waved the guard back, "I don't believe that my brother will still fight against me now—people can change." ”
Dalmont whispered, "Chance, last chance." ”
Cheberkeley fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, I, wrong. As he spoke, he moved his right hand to the Thunderbolt Bracer in his left hand.
At this distance, the guards are powerless! With the slightest hook of a finger, the king will be stunned and slaughtered by a violent electric shock, and then the king will be held hostage and fled into the jungle in front of him, and with the skills of Julius and the remnants of Gutnotiran, they are equivalent to a fish into the sea!
The thunderbolt bracer on Cheberkeley's untied wrist was respectfully held: "Your Majesty, the people behind me are the remnants of Gutnotiran, they have magical technology, I hope you can treat them well, let Tenotiran revive as soon as possible, and recreate the glory of the Nozik nation." ”
Cheberkeley gave up his last chance.
Bai Liana screamed, covering her face with her hands, tears welling up.
Cheberkeley, not knowing why she was screaming, glanced back at her, and smiled. Turning to Atawal, he said: "Your Majesty, human life is always full of reincarnation: gain, loss, gain, loss, today, you stand at the beginning of reincarnation, and I, but I will come to an end - we can all be free from suffering." A careerist who has failed in his intrigues should not be a threat to the new dynasty, and I will help you choose. Bailiana, my goddess, farewell!"
As soon as Cheberkeley finished speaking, he shook his left hand, pulled out the sharp firing pin in the thunderbolt bracer, turned his head, and stabbed himself in the heart.
Blood splattered!
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
The firing needle pierced the skin of the chest and pierced the muscles, but failed to penetrate deep into the ribcage. One of Atavar's hands gripped the blade of the striker, the severed skin of the finger open, and the crimson blood dripping down the brothers' wrists.
Cheberkeley exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"
Atavar's voice was extremely firm: "You made a choice, I also made a choice! You can't die, there are still people waiting for you!"
Before Cheberkeley could reply, Beryana from behind swooped down and hugged him tightly. She cried and laughed, laughed and wept, and spoke incoherently: "By the way, you chose the right one, Cheberkeley, you chose the right one, you chose the right one!"
Behind Cheberkeley, Julius, Dalmont, and Tabrich smiled at the same time.
Tabrich asked in the team chat: "Now, all the lies are in the past - but we will definitely be reused in the future, such as Yupanki, if you meet him, will you be a goof?"
Yu Panji smiled: "Of course not, he will regard this as an accident and coincidence of fate." An ignorant guy has become a crappy careerist, and we should indeed be responsible for this, but it is a good thing that he can go on the right path and get together with Belliana. ”
Duck also said: "Yes, these two guys with a bumpy fate can be together, and the road in the future will be easier, right?" George, George, I know you are staring, talking, how to arrange the two of them?"
George's laughter could be heard in the team chat: "The two bitter men who have seen the wonders of alchemy will be taken into the door wall by Ramos, the chief alchemist of New Tenotiran, and Cheberkeley, who is grateful and atoning, and his little wife will live a peaceful and surprising life in the study and laboratory." ”
Duck smiled: "You guy, you will never stop until you squeeze the last drop of bone marrow out of others." ”
George smiled but didn't answer.
Tabrich asked with interest, "What would have happened if Cheberkeley had chosen His Majesty to Raid?"
"The dead heart of Belliana will stay, he will flee alone on the ship piloted by Royce, and then sink to the bottom of the sea on the voyage to the kingdom of Dorland - Beryana knows our plan, she has been waiting for the final choice, Cheberkley is right, oh, he is coming towards you. ”
Cheberkeley and Belliana walked up to Dharke and Yupanki and bowed deeply: "Everyone, it is the greatest happiness of my life to meet you! You have made me and saved me, thank you, thank you!"
"Do you want to be honest with him?" asked Yupanki during the team chat.
Duck hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better not to, sometimes, it's good to live ignorantly." It is much better for him to live in a legendary story than to live in regret and regret. As for whether Belliana will say everything in the future, it's up to her. So be it!"
Duck patted Che Berkeley on the shoulder: "Congratulations." Treasure. ”
Cheberkeley and Bailiana bowed again, "Thank you, thank you!"
George said, "Alright, Duck, hurry back to Dallas, Riley is waiting for you, and we're going to leave again." ”
"Oh, the next target?"
"Now, the Thunder Slime has given the demon a strong heart, and the next target, the indestructible body - the Steel Rock Slime!"
"Where?"
"To the northeast of the Kingdom of Doland, there is also a pagan kingdom - the Arabid Empire. ”
