Chapter Seventy-Five: The Most High?
"Everyone, pay our highest respect to our supreme king, the uncorrupting sun, the lord of the holy city!" a man in a linen robe prostrated before the throne with a large crowd of people.
"Mortals, what are your requests?" said a majestic voice from the throne, and the unreadable King looked at them with his cold golden eyes, as if he were looking at dust.
The man did not dare to raise his head, lest he would defile the great man, and he groveled, and made his request in a small way: "Your Majesty, our village can no longer afford the exorbitant taxes, and although we are willing to contribute to the prosperity of the kingdom, we really have nothing left to hand over to the kingdom. ”
"It's ridiculous to be submissive, well, seeing that you are so pitiful, I will reluctantly pardon some of this year's taxes, but you, yes, you are the common people who dare to speak wildly and look directly at the great me, need to go to the arena and participate in a fight to get me to agree to this thing, because what you want must be paid!" the king looked up at the people who knelt down underground with contempt, and he thought of a piece of fun.
"As you wish, my majesty. The man in the linen robe seemed to have known that this would happen, he had no sorrow or anger, only the courage to face death calmly, after all, if he did not die, then in the next three days, all of them would have to die, and they would have starved to death, and that kind of pain he had seen too much in the past ten years.
"Hahaha, that's how it should be, this is the fate of lowly guys like you, use your life, your soul, and your dignity to please me as a king, this is the difference between you and me, human beings are divided into ranks and status, I hope your death will make me happy today, otherwise it is impossible to be exempt from taxes." "The king is like a poisonous snake, looking at the man trembling slightly with cold eyes, come, resist, then I can easily kill all of you.
"Yes, my majesty. He was disappointed, even if the man in front of him was so humiliated by himself, he was so unfazed, which made him a little tired, so bored, this kind of development, he felt bored, and he sent this group of untouchables away.
......
In the arena, the man who still had only the linen robe on his body looked at the powerful monster with a lion's head and scorpion tail in front of him, the monster was much taller than him even if it was just lying there, and the monster seemed to be still sleeping, which was good news, but it didn't seem to be of much use.
He looked at the short sword in his hand, this was his only solace as an ordinary person, although it didn't seem to be of much use, he knew what the monster in front of him was, it was the creation of His Majesty who was like a god, a powerful creation with unimaginable magic power for mortals, a monster that could resist the scorching flames and spear stabbing with only the surface fur, a beast that was truly out of the mortal world!
"Gollum. He took a deep breath and swallowed the saliva in his mouth, even though he had made countless preparations in advance, but when this moment really came, he was still terrified, it had nothing to do with whether he had courage or not, it was just that his simple human nature made him instinctively want to leave.
"Die!" suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and he silently walked towards the sleeping beast, closer, five, four, three—now!
The dagger had successfully pierced into the strong body, but it didn't feel any touch, as if it was attacking the air, how could it be?
He raised his head, but only saw a mocking gaze, this monster had not been sleeping since the beginning, and had already regarded itself as a prey before he even entered the field? He deliberately pretended to be asleep, just to see how stunned he was at this time, what kind of joke, how could this kind of monster be considered a beast!
This was his last thought, and the next moment, the monster had already opened its bloody mouth and swallowed his entire body, the monster chewed a few bites, and found that it was not delicious, so he directly spit out the corpse that had turned into a puddle of meat sauce and broken bones, and even smashed his tongue in disgust, looking at the position of the audience with contempt, looking at the position of those civilians watching the battle, and let out a shocking roar!
"Brother Abu!"
"Abu!"
"Daddy!"
The cries of friends and relatives resounded throughout the arena, but the deceased no longer seemed to hear the words, for he was already a shredded flesh whose face he could not distinguish.
The king sat on the royal seat, the golden seat completely inlaid with gold and rubies showed his majesty and nobility, his golden pupils looked at the sad crowd, and then showed a smile, and the next moment, the vicious words came from his mouth: "I'm sorry, this untouchable's performance has not been brilliant in the slightest, but has tarnished the glorious gladiatorial fight, as a punishment, I have decided to double the tax of you untouchables, only for your village, what a glory!"
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" The man's son was the most excited, he was only eight years old, he rushed directly to the throne, but unfortunately the guards on the side were not stupid, and directly stabbed him to death on the seat, in fact, as long as this group of civilians moved the slightest abnormally, they would be killed by this group of guards who had lost their human feelings, and then the corpse was picked up in the arena and fed to the monster.
"Angry?!Interesting, but have you forgotten who you are, untouchables, think with your barren brains, think carefully, are you qualified to rebel against me?!, or do you want to go back to the days when primitive people were unclothed and hungry, and even their lives were taken away by the beasts or poisonous insects that came out!" The king's face roared hideously, his words were not wrong, although everyone had a bad time under his rule, it was far better than the days of the past.
Except for the child, the others just accepted it with tears in their eyes, and accepted this desperate fate, because they had already received enough things, food, clothing, houses, fields, etc., all brought by the king, and all to the glory of the king, but could they really only live their lives like this?
At that moment, a red comet fell, heading towards the arena at high speed!
