Chapter 39: Black and White (6)
Amid cheers, the crowd carried Benedict II into the Lion King's Palace, which had long been empty.
Well, in fact, it's not like people go to the empty building, because there are still many servants and maids from the original Lion King's Palace, but they are already so frightened that their souls are flying, and they close the door one by one and hide, and there is no difference between going to the empty building with people.
Benedict was held aloft and laughed maniacally.
The mercenaries scattered around were also very excited.
Countless pairs of mud-stained shoes had turned the dark red carpet gray.
The people broke into the main hall of the royal palace and put Benedict II on the empty throne. A crown was brought to him.
That picture is like a king who is supported by the people. Yes, like it, not just the king of the people.
Amid the cheers, Benedict II's wild laughter stopped, for he could vaguely see that a large crowd of people had begun to move the furniture of his palace. Frightened, he hurriedly grabbed the hand of the mercenary leader guarding him and said, "Stop them!"
"Stop it now, and you'll be killed. The mercenary leader said with wide eyes.
Benedict II's eyes widened in the same way.
A gangster who was still in prison uniform and had just been released squeezed in front of Benedict II with his own horse, pointed at Benedict II's nose, yes, pointed at Benedict II's nose, you read that right, he pointed at Benedict II's nose and shouted: "Your Majesty! I support you! I ask you to let me form an army! I used to collect protection money, but I have changed my ways! I can help you collect taxes in the future!"
The corners of Benedict II's mouth twitched.
An unkempt young man crowded in front of Benedict II and shouted: "Your Majesty! I support you too! My name is Quells! I have been reading for two years and can write! The paladin is good to pay money, but his laws are so bad! He is an idiot and does not know what social science is! I will help you draw up a new law! Make me the chief minister of law!"
The corners of Benedict II's mouth twitched wildly.
An ugly-looking man shouted: "Your Majesty! I support you too!" The bad old man next door has always refused to marry his daughter to me! Why should a beautiful woman marry a handsome man! I ask you to order that in the future, a beautiful woman can only marry an ugly-looking person!"
A man in ragged clothes shouted: "No, Your Majesty! I, I also support you! I ask you to stipulate that in the future, beautiful women can only marry the poor! We poor people have worked hard for thousands of years, and it is time for us to be happy!"
"So in the future, beautiful women can only marry poor and ugly people?" concluded someone.
"But I'm not poor!" roared the ugly man.
So the ugly and the poor fought in front of Benedict II, and a shoe flew over Benedict's head.
"The silver moon really symbolizes luck!" said someone standing by the window looking at the full moon outside.
The idol in Pierce's Cathedral still had half of its face facing the moonlight, half of its face shrouded in darkness.
Benedict II, who was still laughing wildly a moment ago, looked like he had swallowed a dead mouse, and the flesh of his whole face trembled.
......
The whole lion king was boiling and trembling, and the voice could be heard clearly until the suburbs.
A fast horse rushed out of the Lion King's capital and caught up with the departing procession of Bai Cheng.
The horseman, disguised as a commoner, dismounted, fell on one knee before Irene and Count Grugru, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Earl, the people have embraced Benedict II to the throne!"
"Benedict II?" said Irene, smiling speechlessly, riding her horse and standing on a hill looking out over the noisy center of the Lion King's capital.
"It's Benedict II and the Holy See. Count Grugru, who was standing beside Irene on horseback, said with a blank face, "Did we lose to them? No, I just lost to a group of fools." Reform was a mistake from the start. It's Gray's constant triumph that makes us trust him too much. ”
"Gray was wrong, but his motives were good. Irene replied softly.
"I think you misunderstood what I meant. The mistake I am referring to is not that he adopted the wrong reform, but that the reform itself is a mistake. It's a good lesson. A bunch of people who are insatiable and don't want to change, what obligation do we have to help them? Do we get anything out of it? No, we don't get anything. On the contrary, if we do not do well, we will be counterattacked. That's why they've been sinking all the time, and they don't even know how to repay the kindness of others. In the end, it's all ours to blame, so let them fend for themselves. They'll reap the consequences. So saying, Count Grugru rode away.
Irene sighed helplessly, and could only chase after her horse. After thinking about it, he shouted again, "I still support Gray! someone has to try to change the world, right?"
......
The silver moonlight swayed silently.
The wind blows gently, swaying the branches and leaves. Dots of mottling fell on Shelley, who had been demonized.
Looking at the darkness around him, and looking down at his hand like an eagle's claw, covered with black scales, Shelley's tears couldn't help but fall down again.
"Why are you crying again?" asked Jones next to him.
"What if...... In case, I can't change back, will Gray just ......?"
"Oh, you're worried about this, don't worry, he'll be with you even if you become a skeleton. ”
Hearing this, Shelley suddenly smiled sweetly again: "Yes, what am I worried about? My paladin is the kindest and most upright knight in the world. He won't leave me. ”
"Actually, you should worry a little more about what you're going to do if he turns into a skeleton?" Dora whispered.
Jones glared at her, so frightened that Dora quickly covered her mouth.
Shelley swore that "even if he becomes a skeleton, I will be with him!"
"Hopefully. Jones spread his hands.
On the other side, Andrew had been tightly tied up by Gray with a rope that he had found out of nowhere, and he had cast a spell on the rope by the way. Krimatha's pendant was also touched by Gray, holding it in his hand and looking at the moonlight carefully.
"You can't kill me!The elves have a pact with Hell!" Andrew struggled and roared at Vivien, "Kill me, and you'll break the agreement!"
Vivien, who was standing on the side, smiled sweetly, looked at Andrew and asked, "Are you sure you want to threaten a succubus?"
"No, I'm not threatening you!" Andrew quickly changed his words and begged, "I'm just, I'm just kindly reminding you! Don't kill me...... Demons cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the continent. It was a friendly agreement, and I think such a friendly agreement should be maintained!"
Vivien put away her smile and said lazily, "Did I say I was going to kill you? Why are you so scared? Not only did I not want to kill you, I didn't even do anything, I just showed my face, and you surrendered yourself." It's boring. ”
"Just showing his face?" Andrew suddenly looked at Gray and said angrily, "You lied to me! she won't help you at all!"
"I didn't say she would help me. Gray said innocently.
Vivien hurriedly interjected: "Don't talk nonsense, I did help! If it wasn't for my appearance, how could he be obedient? You have to thank me well." ”
"Rest assured, as righteous knights, we will never repay the favor we owe to the devil. ”
The black cat snickered from the sidelines.
"You! You're going too far! If that's the case, I won't help you in the future!" Vivien yelled angrily.
"Oh, is it?" Gray tucked Krimasha's pendant into his armor, crouched down in front of Andrew, and whispered, "What's the spell?"
"What spell?"
"The spell to remove the demonization, you told me before. ”
Andrew gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't, you can kill me." ”
Gray reached for the hilt of his sword, and Andrew was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "I didn't, but I know how to get rid of it!"
Gray let go of the hilt of his sword and asked, "How?"
Andrew hesitated: "The recipe for the potion ...... I copied it from the books in the Shenmu Library. I only copied the recipe of the potion, not the recipe of the antidote. Just check it out. ”
"Shenmu Library?" Gray was stunned for a moment.
"The Great Library of the Elves. Vivien rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, there are two, one each for the Wood Elves and the Blood Elves. The most complete collection of classics on the mainland are these two libraries. ”
"Then I'm going to take you to the Shenmu Library?"
"No, don't! I escaped!" Andrew hurriedly opened his eyes wide and said: "The Blood Elf Queen does not allow the Blood Elves to contact humans, if you send me back, I will be sentenced and locked up directly! You let me go, as long as you let me go, I have a way to ask about the formula! How about it, for the sake of your bride, let me go?"
Gray looked at him quietly, hesitating.
A voice suddenly sounded in everyone's heads: "No need to be so troublesome. ”
Looking up, they saw Catherine flapping her wings and descending quietly, the silver light of her body illuminating the surroundings.
Shaking the potion bottle in her hand, Catherine whispered, "The antidote has been prepared." It would have been a long time, because ordinary magic potions have anti-cracking ingredients. But his one, no. ”
"That's great. Gray reached out and took the bottle from Catherine's hand, "Thank you, Catherine." ”
"Cut!" Vivien muttered unangrily, kicking the stone, "It's just a potion, just tell her thank you." I didn't even say thank you. It's not fair. ”
Specks of silver light floated down in front of my eyes. Andrew's eyes widened as he was tied up, and his brain was completely shut down.
Angels and demons help the same person...... Andrew couldn't even figure out whether the paladin in front of him belonged to the good camp or the evil camp.
Before he could figure it out, Gray had already turned his face sideways and asked softly, "So, what should this blood elf do?"
All of a sudden, the lich, the angel, the succubus, the ghost cat, and the bone horse all looked towards the blood elves.
Andrew's goosebumps rose, and he was so frightened that he quickly struggled to sit up, kneel, and kowtow.
"I ...... I'll give myself to you, your servant! Don't kill me, don't send me back! Do you think that's okay?"
