Chapter 139: A World That Is Crumbling
While Sakura walked out, she reluctantly turned back one step at a time, trying to attract Zhang Yao's attention.
Zhang Yao leaned lightly on the dragon chair, as if he was tired, closed his eyes and stroked the armrest of the dragon chair that was crushed by him, and didn't look at Sakura.
In the end, she didn't see Zhang Yao's retention, Sakura pouted and left a little unhappy.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the gate of the palace, the other three elf girls who were waiting outside the door immediately surrounded Sakura who came out, and asked one by one, "Sister Sakura, what did Your Majesty tell you about?" ”
Sakura raised her eyes and swept over the other three girls, the unhappiness on her face disappeared instantly, and she replied with a proud look: "Your Majesty praised me a few words, saying that with my level, it is more than enough to be a general in the army." ”
"General!" Hearing Sakura's words, whether it was the guards on both sides or the three elf girls, they all gasped in unison.
Now the generals in the Rising Sun Empire are not just those who want to be. There are only 20 generals in the 200,000 army, and each of them is one in a million of all races. Now His Majesty actually said that Sakura is more than enough to be a general, what a value and trust this is, it is simply the emperor's grace!
As soon as the soldiers on both sides of the guard heard this, they immediately looked at Sakura differently. One by one, it was as if they were looking at another big man, and their eyes were full of awe. Even the three elven beautiful girls were pleasantly surprised, as if it was not Sakura who was enough to be a general, but them.
"O General! Sister Sakura, I think you're majestic. Have you ever interceded with Your Majesty to become a female general? The three elf girls were so excited that they hurriedly asked around Sakura.
The eyes of the people around her were full of awe and admiration, and after Sakura felt the change in the eyes of these people, she arrogantly straightened her collar and snorted coldly: "What's so good about being a general, I am reluctant to leave Your Majesty." If you want me to say, we are all intimate people of His Majesty, as long as we serve well, let alone generals, even those worshippers are not allowed to look down on us! ”
Confident with proud Chinese, it resounded in everyone's ears. The soldiers and elf girls who listened on both sides were stunned for a moment, and their hearts were shocked: "Yes, we are close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon, if you are allowed to be a confidant by Your Majesty, this is much more leisurely than being a general!" ”
Everyone's eyes were filled with sparks, as if they had thought of something that made people happy, and they were all excited.
Sakura looked around, and a hint of banter flashed in her eyes when she saw the performance of these big people, and she chuckled in her heart: "What generals and henchmen, what I should conquer is the queen crown inlaid with jewels!" ”
"Uh-huh!" At this moment, the girl's heart was full of arrogance, imagining that after she became the queen, those generals and dignitaries would bow to her. Sakura has a kind of surprise that the farmer turned over to become the master, and even the eyes that look at others are like a kind of creator.
However, this feeling that she is the core of the world, Sakura didn't last long, and was crushed by the monster called reality.
The sky suddenly darkened, and a large swarm of bats was like a black cloud, and it was instantly shrouded in the sky.
"Whoa!"
A flock of bats descended from the sky, and in the eyes of everyone, they turned into Dracula in red armor.
"See His Royal Highness!" Seeing that it was Dracula, all the guards bowed their heads and saluted, even Sakura bit her lip and bowed slightly.
Dracula is the prince of the empire, and his status is so high that in addition to Zhang Yao, he can be said to be the number two person in the empire. Not to mention the guards and maids, even if many generals saw him, they had to pay respect.
Dracula didn't squint, and he didn't seem to see the salute of the people around him, and walked into the palace where Zhang Yao was without saying a word, without looking at the guards on both sides.
Many guards did not dare to raise their heads until Dracula disappeared, and everyone knew Dracula's cold arrogance. Knowing that this notorious vampire prince, no one but their majesty could get his favor. Even Dracula walked past them, with the illusion that winter was coming, and everyone didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that they would be sucked dry of blood and die.
"Prince Dracula is in a hurry, do you think something happened?" When Dracula disappeared, three elf girls gathered around Sakura and said so.
"No matter how big things are, they don't care about us. Let's go, Your Majesty's lunch hasn't been prepared yet! Sakura reprimanded, and the three girls looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing why Sakura was so fine just now, why she was suddenly unhappy.
Of course, they don't know that Sakura is dreaming of becoming a queen. And the reason why Sakura is unhappy is also very simple, it is because of this dream that she is only halfway done, and she is directly punctured by the monster called reality.
Only a month of knowing has seen birds fly into Zhaoyang.
Zhang Yao was lying on the dragon chair, but he didn't know that there was already an elf girl who was peeking at his queen's throne.
"Dracula, how's the investigation going?"
Zhang Yao leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at Dracula below, two months ago Dinether came to him anxiously and said that all the poultry were not giving birth.
At first, Zhang Yao didn't care much about it after hearing about it, but a month later, all the farms faced this problem, and Zhang Yao had to pay attention to it.
"Your Majesty, after my investigation, all animals, whether they are farms or poultry raised by the people, seem to have lost their fertility, and even the hens that lay eggs are not laying eggs. And after some investigation, an even more unacceptable fact was discovered! ”
Dracula cautiously looked at Zhang Yao's expression, only to see Zhang Yao's brows tightly locked, and waved his hand: "Go on, something else happened." ”
After getting Zhang Yao's permission, Dracula said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in the past three months of investigation, I have found that not only have animals lost their ability to reproduce, but even our people seem to be unable to give birth to offspring!" ”
"What!" Zhang Yao stood up suddenly, if it was said that he frowned before, now Zhang Yao's face was gloomy.
It's not that Zhang Yao is making a big fuss, but if a country wants to exist, the most basic thing is the population. If the population is not growing, then with a succession of natural deaths, it is conceivable that in a few decades, the entire empire will have to be an empty city.
The first thing that Zhang Yao thought of was that Dracula was joking, but Dracula had a solemn look on his face, and he was simply a person who did not smile.
"How so, is it a curse?" While Zhang Yao was thinking like this, he asked people to find Dinethor, the prime minister of the empire, and came to the palace to discuss countermeasures.
After hearing Zhang Yao's summons, Dinether appeared in the main hall not long after, and brought even more shocking news.
In the northern part of the empire, there are several flower-filled peaks with a large number of beekeepers. This news from Dinether is related to these beekeepers.
The average lifespan of bees is only about one and a half months, and the life cycle and reproduction speed are very fast. Now the bee population is dying in large numbers, and these deaths are normal deaths, but there is not a single new bee.
Where there is death, there is new life, this is the unchanging law of nature. But the bees seem to have violated this law, and there is no new life in death.
To sum it up in a simple sentence, the bee race is on the verge of extinction and the food chain is collapsing on a large scale. There is only a family of dead bees and no new life, whether in the wild or in the beekeepers' hives, there is no one left, just like the extinction.
It is conceivable that the disappearance of a major species will bring about hidden dangers that will also be obvious. It's like God has put a shackle on the world, and all species and life are facing the most severe test, and this test is to deprive them of the right to reproduce.
"There is only death and no new life, is it that I am reversing the plot on a large scale and making this world go to destruction?" Zhang Yao suddenly had a very ridiculous feeling, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart if he had reversed the plot and made the world go to ruin.
The more Zhang Yao thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, the world of the Lord of the Rings came from a movie, and the main theme of the movie was the plot.
The large-scale collapse of the plot and the successive deaths of the protagonist are really likely to make this world collapse. It's like the plot is the code in the computer, and the main character is the running program. Now that the code has crashed and the running programs have been broken one after another, such a computer is doomed to collapse.
A paralyzed computer, a paralyzed world.
Zhang Yao didn't know if his theory was correct, but whether it was correct or not, he couldn't sit still. It is necessary to come up with a way to deal with it before it causes widespread panic.
ps
It's not that the old dragon is whimsical, but if the world is really made up of a movie. I think that the large-scale collapse of the plot and the killing of the protagonist are destined to be like a computer invaded by a virus, gradually paralyzing.
Thank you for the reward of the book friend 'Miro', and in addition, the plot of the second act is about to begin, and everyone can talk about the heroes and tricks they want, and touch the big.
