Chapter Fifty-Eight: King Valba

In Buckfere's memory, King Valba was vividly remembered. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

King Valba was a kind elder, always with a gentle smile on his face, a long gray beard that hung down to his chest, his body was large and healthy, he looked full of vitality, he had a high-pitched voice, he spoke with a strong voice, and he was fond of splendid clothes, always wearing a golden-red silk robe and all kinds of gold trinkets.

However, the one who appeared in front of him now looked very different.

It was a thin middle-aged man, with no beard on his face, sunken cheeks, obvious dark circles, the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, his voice low and hoarse, and a plain white robe without any ornamentation on his body.

However, Buckfere would never be mistaken, and although he had lost a lot of weight and dressed differently, the man sitting on the intricately carved wooden chair was indeed the monarch he had served, the father of his wife, his father-in-law, and the leader of the country.

"Your Majesty...... You ......"

Buckferre suddenly encounters one of the longing figures and finds himself completely unable to make a sound.

He didn't know what to say.

He didn't know whether to question the other party or be glad that the other party was still alive.

In the silence, Buckfere suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

In the blurred scene all around, only the figure of King Valba was so clear that he could even see the deep wrinkles on his face.

"I'm surprised that my form can be so clear under the distortion of magic. ”

King Valba's dry lips let out a low sound.

"It's a little trick, as long as the magic is twisted, and then the magic can be twisted, a simple magic prop can do it. ”

Buckfere's breath suddenly became rapid, and he clenched the dark red sword in his hand.

"Your Majesty Valba...... I remember...... You're not a Magister, are you...... You don't have magic...... How do you use magic items......"

"In my memory, did I personally admit that I wasn't a Magus?"

King Valba's indifferent answer made his son-in-law's cheeks twitch, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty...... Are you really ...... The ...... of the Vientiane Research Society"

Buckfere could not go on, although he knew the truth, deep down he kept denying it.

He hoped that it was just false intelligence, he hoped that everything was false.

"Forty years ago, when I was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, I joined the Vientiane Research Society, and yes, at the invitation of the president, I became a member of it. ”

King Valba's sober answer shattered Buckfere's last glimmer of hope.

"I had no interest in the throne all along, and at that time, there were two brothers above me, so I could study the magic I loved all the time without having to worry about mundane affairs. ”

Buckfere looked at the thin man who had become unfamiliar, and did not dare to retreat.

He didn't want to hear it, and he didn't want to know.

It's just that the familiar but unfamiliar king of a country continues to tell everything quietly.

"I have a certain talent for the study of magic, but it is just an ordinary talent, my true genius cannot be compared, I soon hit a bottleneck, the research plan went wrong, and could not go smoothly, at that time, the president appeared in front of my eyes, and became my teacher, a real teacher of magic. ”

The sound of Buckfere's heavy breathing resounded in the serene space.

"At that time, I understood that resources were necessary if I wanted my plan to go smoothly, so at the suggestion of the president, I participated in the battle for the throne, secretly disposed of my two brothers, and became the king of this country. ”

It was only at this time that King Valba really looked at Buckfere.

"Barker, do you know what my research topic is?"

Bakfere sweated profusely and shook his head violently.

However, what flashed in his mind was the huge living organs he saw beneath the cities of the Kingdom of Kennessia.

A factory that produces monsters, a living monster womb.

Also, the huge magical pipes that resemble blood vessels, those ugly objects made of lumps of meat.

"What I'm studying is the monsters themselves, to be precise, the root of these special beings that can only appear in the wizarding world. ”

Receiving no answer, King Valba withdrew his gaze and continued to speak calmly.

"Buck, don't you think it's strange? Why do monsters only appear in the wizarding world? Why do monsters appear as if out of thin air, even if the territory is cleared first, they will reappear after a while? Why aren't there so many varieties of monsters? Why do ordinary wild animals randomly possess magic and become monsters in our mouths? There are too many whys, too many questions to study. ”

He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair slightly.

Then, after a few years or so, my research was once again in trouble and I couldn't find a solution, so at the suggestion of my peers, I decided to take a roundabout route and conduct research outside the field to supplement my lack of knowledge. ”

Buckfere clenched his grip on his chest, and he felt that he could not continue to listen to the topic after this.

"I combined monsters with humans, and I managed to do it by luck. ”

King Valba seemed to be proud, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"That original subject was really, really beautiful, so I couldn't help but marry that subject. ”

Buckfere felt like he was about to lose his strength.

"That woman became my only woman, my only wife, and the only person who gave birth to my child. ”

Buckfere's mind now flashed images of the organs he had seen underground.

He didn't know why, and had a rather disgusting feeling.

He always felt that he knew something, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"That woman gave birth to four children for me, because of genetic defects, the fusion of monsters is not complete, so I can only give birth to female offspring, but it doesn't matter, those children are also perfect test subjects, yes, perfect, it is because of the flaws, so it will be perfect, and my research plan can continue. ”

King Valba slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly in a blurred gaze.

"It's a pity that my first child died when she was ten years old, she couldn't bear her monster factor, and in the middle of the night, her body structure collapsed and became a half-human, half-monster thing, so I had no choice but to let my child euthanize after researching. ”

Buckfere tried to make a sound to stop it, but his vocal cords suddenly became dumb, and he couldn't squeeze out a single sound.

"The second child, the red-haired Alice, was born with great magical powers, and unfortunately, when she was seven years old, her body could not withstand the effects of magical powers, and she burned herself to death when her magic power went out of control. ”

King Valbard, as if he had not seen Buckfere's unnatural appearance, continued to speak to himself.

"However, things took a turn for the better after that, a companion of mine provided him with cloning technology, allowing me to make a copy of Alice's clone in order to continue my research, if there is any drawback, it is that I made a little mistake when I used cloning technology, so that the clone became a sick and weak individual, of course, this is also very good, only mistakes can be repaired, the most feared thing in research is not that there is no error, but that there is no knowing, so even if it is necessary to be sick in bed for a long time, I will spare no effort to take care of it. ”

“...... Why is it the second child......"

Buckfere, desperately suppressing the impulses in his body, instinctively asked questions.

He didn't know why he could make a sound, but since he could speak, he had to ask.

Ellie...... Elina, she's your second child, isn't she? Why Princess Alice......"

"Buck, don't let your eyes and ears deceive you, and don't forget, the one who decides the apparent order, but me. ”

King Valba's gloomy gaze looked at the young man with a decadent expression.

"Alina is my third child, but since Alice's clone has grown up since infancy, the order has changed, there is no way, I am always the king of a country, and I need to deceive the ignorant civilians a little. ”

Buckfere's head was in a daze, and he couldn't think anymore.

Or rather, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Elena, she is the healthiest child, the closest to a human child, and the most failed experiment for me. ”

Hearing this merciless remark, Buckfere glared at the elder he had once respected with resentment.

"So, in order to make up for the shortcomings, I decided to resort to other plans. ”

King Valba's eyes were filled with inexplicable brilliance.

It was Buckfere who greeted this brilliance.

"My son-in-law, do you know that while I was preparing the monster research project, I was also preparing a slightly different research project under the guidance of my companions. ”

“...... Don't go on......" Buckfere's hoarse voice was almost inaudible.

"I made my own replica, a clone that mixed my genes with the monster factor. ”

King Valba's deep voice finally regained some of its old senses.

However, Buckfere did not want to hear such a sound at all.

"Don't ...... Don't talk about it......"

"My clone was born in an adult form, and after inputting false memories into his mind, he was allowed to live in a certain city, and then try to reproduce offspring with other civilians, which is very low, and it can be said that it is a plan based on failure, but the end result is quite satisfactory to me. ”

King Valba let out a laugh that sounded like a cough.

"Buck, my child, my clone child, one of my most satisfying researches, I've always wanted to tell you this, but I never got the chance, and now I can finally tell you everything. ”

With a warm and kind smile, King Valba faced the crumbling Buckfere.

"This is the truth of your background, this is the truth of some of the things you want to know, so, for the sake of the record of the research, in order to investigate your mental state, can you tell me how you feel now?"
