The king would have done such a wicked-looking spell in his own capital? It's no wonder that the most elite White Eagle squad of the City Guard can be mobilized, and it's no wonder that it is still unknown that it can hide from the world in the downtown area. If it was secretly instructed by the king, it would have been easy to explain.

What Xiao Chen didn't understand was the king's discipline. He can actually use his own people as materials for casting spells, and arbitrarily extract their life energy, regardless of whether they live or die.

"Demian. "I'll be sure once again that this magic won't kill so many people, after all, they're my people." ”

"It's rare that the king still has a little conscience left. Xiao Chen said to Luo Ling.

"You actually call this conscience? No normal person would do such a bottomless thing. Luo Ling's voice sounded angry, "No matter what they plan to do later, I won't let them succeed." ”

"Let's hear what they have to say. Xiao Chen himself also had the urge to take out a scroll and smash it over, but with the role they were playing now, the responsibility of fighting for the most suitable interests of the school had exceeded their personal likes and dislikes, so they could only suppress the anger in their hearts.

Only to hear that Demian say: "Your Majesty, you are really a benevolent monarch. After all, I am also a native of Wangdu, and I definitely don't want to cause a lot of damage to my hometown, you see, the energy wasted by these people singing and dancing now is enough to complete this spell, even if we don't use it to cast spells, they won't remain. So, any worries are unnecessary. ”

"Hmm. That's good. In any case, these mediocre guys usually maintain the operation of the royal capital. It's like a person who wants to eat and drink, and I don't want to have no one wipe the city's ass tomorrow morning. Ha ha. The king laughed, "Don't apply the soft word mercy to me, I'm just afraid that no parts will fall from my chariot and prevent me from charging into battle." ”

"When this circle is activated, it will intensify the release of energy. There are always some frail and sickly creatures who can't afford to lose their lives, but I don't think that's a bad thing, just like only the strongest wolf cubs survive in the wasteland, humans should keep only the strongest and strongest individuals. Those who are weak not only consume energy, but also affect the quality of the next generation. I can assure you that if there is such a knockout from time to time, your people will always be the strongest of all kingdoms. Demian said.

"I've heard your mentor, Master Almeida, say things like strengthening everyone, but she doesn't have the same views as you. There was mockery in the king's tone.

"I was inspired by my teacher, but her approach to enhancing the talents of the crowd through rich nutrition and magical healing was just a hard way to go. No matter how high her realm is, she is just a woman with too much sympathy, and she can't see the picture of governing the country. No country can afford such a cost. Instead of spending resources on changing the quality of the weak, it is better to eliminate them and make the strong stronger, which is more in line with the way of nature. ”

"Hmph, don't talk to me about nature. I only like to talk about the way of kings. It is the most normal reason for subordinates to give themselves to the Lord, and life is just one of them. You know, as a human king, you have to make a lot more sacrifices than life. At this point, the king's voice was rarely lowered, "I have not done all this for myself, but to truly protect this country. Our neighbor to the north had just stopped fighting with us, but in private the sharpening of his knives never stopped. The nobles of the country, Arias, Nolasco, and Siqueros, are all ambitious, and think I don't know their little moves, and the elves and southerners, all greedy jackals...... If I fall, the country will be plunged into war again. And it's a war of annihilation that is even more terrible than the many years of war that preceded it! How many of these people will survive?"

"Your Majesty, there is always someone who will understand your painstaking efforts. ”

"Understand? That's what only the weak need. What is the situation now?" said the king, sneering.

Demian said: "Your Majesty, today's energy collection is very successful, beyond my original expectations, as long as this magic is successful, your illness will definitely be cured, and the remaining life energy is enough to increase your life span for about ten years." ”

"Ten years, it's much better than I expected. ”

"There are no big restrictions on using this method, and we can continue to do it in a few years. ”

At this moment, a guard ran in from outside and whispered in the king's ear.

"We've got to pick up the pace. Benegas couldn't stop everyone, and some of the guys who didn't stop were already sneaking over. Sokas, I only need to leave two guards here, and the rest of them will go up there and keep those peaths at bay for me. If those guys find out the secret here, they will definitely cause trouble for us, and there are people in the kingdom who want me to die sooner. ”

A warrior standing behind him solemnly took the order, and led the surrounding warriors out of the hall.

In addition to Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, there were only four people left in the room.

"Sure enough, it's similar to what I guessed, it's a life-sustaining magic. Xiao Chen said.

"Have you figured out how to smash the field?" Luo Ling asked coldly.

"This ...... I'm thinking about a question, what will happen if the king hangs, will it really push this kingdom to an even more chaotic state as he said?" Xiao Chen hesitated.

"Don't think about such pointless things. Luo Ling said disdainfully.

"How could it be meaningless?" Xiao Chen asked rhetorically.

"Do you have enough IQ?"

"Hey, if you don't agree with each other, you'll bury people. ”

"Can you tell what the world will look like in 10 years?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Five years, three years, half a year?"

Xiao Chen gave a negative answer, "I'm not the Ikasa Master of the Spirit Eye Tower, I don't know what will happen in half a month if you ask me." ”

"Therefore, it is not reliable for you, me, or the king to make judgments based on the so-called long-term vision. There are so many surprises that happen. What if he dies on the bench? What if magic gets out of control and this becomes a zombie city? Besides, if the king doesn't die, won't Arias rebel?

In most cases, we can only look at the goal a little farther away, take a step at a time, if the matter is close at hand, we don't have the courage to deal with it according to our own values, what qualifications do we have to expect a farther goal? This is not a five-year plan, do you still have to do research?"
