Chapter 180: Bleak

"Nicole, you should look in the mirror", Tarrant felt a hint of pity, she had fallen from greatness to madness, and continued obsession only made her dignity cheaper, "stop resisting uselessly. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-"

"Tarrant is right, if your plan has anything to do with the crystal ball, you and I both know that it has lost its functioning energy", Katrina looked at Nicole, all the adoration she once had gone, "Your bet has failed. โ€

"The crystal ball that has lost its energy core can still function, I will replace it with myself!" Nicole sneered, "No one can stop me, can't!"

"How do you want to use it to ruin Miรจ Siant?" Catrina was very curious about the answer.

"I said I'm going to destroy Miรจ Siant?" Nicole glanced at everyone present, "Ridiculous! I love this place more than any of you, Sian is my home, here is the only family I cherish, I want to love this place with my life!"

To everyone's surprise, Tarrant asked, "Your Crystal Realm is the guardian of Project Siant!?"

"I want to make Siant a paradise free from disaster and fear, and I want to make my king happy and comfortable forever", Nicole gritted her teeth, "only I can do this, you ants just have to obey", she trembled and clenched the crystal ball, holding it in her arms, not allowing it to be damaged in the slightest.

Is it a damn misunderstanding?Tarrant couldn't believe it, the result of his efforts was to ruin a beautiful plan?"Wouldn't the wizard want to ruin miรจ?"

Katrina turned her head and whispered, "This is really too prejudiced, I said that what wizards want is progress, and it has nothing to do with ruining or sacrificing. โ€

"I think these are quibbles," Shuzo leans over to Holis to ask for his opinion, but Holis doesn't respond immediately.

Tarrant continued to ask, "If it's to protect Siant, why didn't you tell the others about the plan, the Royal Guard has the ability to assist you." โ€

Nicole looked at the world in the crystal ball, a slight crack in the surface of the sphere that reflected her infatuated smile in two, "It's a gift." Surprise him on this unique day. โ€

"A unique day, the inauguration of the Aurora Tower?" is all Malcoln knows.

"It's the king's birthday," the prince looked at the room destroyed by the green dragon, "is this qiฤ“ your gift to him?"

"I want to surprise him, he lives in distress, the food shortage of the commoners, the ambitions of the nobility swell, the power of the empire expands. These meaningless things made it difficult for him to sleep, and his hair turned gray one by one. He needs to rest, only I can find the perfect solution for him, I will not tell anyone about the plan, you are like the dust on the spider web in the corner, it is an eyesore, it is disgusting, this gift is mine alone, I chose this day to inaugurate the tower today. Give all my love to my 'Father'. โ€

"Prince!" the two soldiers of the Royal Guard rushed upstairs, surprised by the scene before them, and after hesitating they put away their swords, "The king is coming." โ€

Xiu Zuo raised his hand and motioned for the soldiers to leave, "There is danger here, let the king go back to the palace, and I will personally report the whole incident later." โ€

"Yes". The soldier hesitated at the door and prepared to go downstairs.

"I have something to report to the king," Nicole cried to the soldiers, "and there is a serious situation here." โ€

โ€œ...... Report here?" the soldier looked back and forth at the two commanders.

Holis pointed to the door and gave the soldier the final order to leave, "Nicole, your plan is definitely not to guard. โ€

"'Guard', 'ruin'. That's all you can imagine, and I'm going to accomplish feats like never before. โ€

Katrina sighed, "Obviously, your ultimate goal is to imprison the king. โ€

The inauguration ceremony, the top floor of the Aurora Tower, the king's birthday, eternal happiness and comfort. All the keys are connected, there is no doubt that sending the king to the crystal ball is Nicole's purpose, Tarrant cannot understand, "Nicole, you are a madman, do you think that halfling kingdom will be a paradise?

"Ha-ha-ha--I will never feel lonely, the spells cast by blocking all the honors must shock the world!" Nicole turned and pointed to the world outside the tower, "My spells are gathered by the Aurora Tower, and the energy is transmitted to the other two ends through the special zircon crystal emitter, and the three fulcrums will form an area. โ€

"Your plan is...... Steal the whole of Siant?!" Katrina found herself underestimating the plan.

Holis pondered, "Even with the zircon crystal mirror, this huge amount of energy would have been consumed by the time it reached both ends of the Siant, didn't you take that into account?"

"Thank you for the reminder," Nico glanced at Holis, "what made me think of this plan? Not just a bet, of course, it was a wonderful coincidence, I improved Francesco's redstone cycle and discovered a natural miracle that was coming- The eclipse, and this day turned out to be the king's birthday, I realized this and couldn't sleep with excitement, I must be able to do something with this, and then I thought of the crystal ball, when the earth fell into darkness, the summoning magic of the crystal ball avoided a lot of attrition, you can clearly see the light of heaven shooting out from the aurora tower and drawing a beautiful triangle along the city of Siant, and when you open your eyes again, you can live happily in a new country, with plenty of food, comfortable nature, and enjoy life every minute, can you understand? You could have enjoyed this qiฤ“! filthy bastard scum!"

"It can't be," said Tarrant, "even we can find the location of the dragon, and Siante has the best mages who can figure out how to get out of the crystal ball." โ€

"I'm in the crystal ball too, and I'm going to destroy every possibility. โ€

"Nicole, you're wrong", the prince dropped his sword on the ground, he refused the protection of the other three captains of the Royal Guard and walked up to Nicole, "Do you know what the dignity of a king is?"

Nicole didn't make a hostile move, "The dignity of the king? โ€

"To be called a king, one must have incomparable charisma and leadership, indomitable courage and courage, his chest carries mercy and the future, and the dignity of the king is the wealth of the empire created by his charm and courage, from which the glory of the king derives", the prince stopped in front of Nicole, face to face, eye to eye, "If a king can no longer lead the people to do anything, he loses the value of the king, no one will continue to recognize him, the dignity of the king is equal to life, do you want comfort to take away his life?"

"He shouldn't have been tortured now!" Nicole bit her lip, "he should enjoy his time like a normal person." โ€

"It is the fate of the royal family to be the leader, no one can replace him, he is the light of the people, the only one", the prince held Nicole's hand and felt the weight of the crystal ball, "Our existence is to help him lay the dignity of the king, and you do the opposite. โ€

"I ......" Nicole's world is turned upside down, black and white are switched to each other, dizzy.

"What you are going to do is to put him to death," the prince said word by word, "almost irreparable." โ€

"I was wrong...... I have offended the king", what she thought was right and insisted on made her lose the value of living.

"You still have a chance to make amends for your mistakes", the prince took the crystal ball and let go of Nicole's hand, "admit your mistakes to him, he loves you so much and believes in you, you will be forgiven, you still have a long way to go, and you will continue to contribute to the Guard." โ€

Downstairs, there was the sound of neat footsteps from the metal boots of the royal guards, and the king was coming.

Nicole stepped back, "I'm not qualified to see him again", there was a breeze behind her, the walls had collapsed, Nicole had no support behind her, she stood on the edge of the tower, looking at the broken metal pipes in the room as if she saw her own sinful foolishness.

"Beware!" Tarrant reminded her.

Malken took two steps forward, "Be careful! Don't go back!" He didn't dare to go any further so as not to frighten her.

Not daring to look down, not daring to recall the king's face, not daring to have the slightest connection with the king again, Nicole hated her ignorance, now she just wanted to escape from Siant, she wanted to exile her soul, "goodbye", Nicole took a step back and let her body fly downward, the clouds in the sky were like a cocoon, if only it could wrap around ignorance, "Goodbye, my king."
