Chapter Forty-Six: Killing

The sand and dust curled up a wave of smoke on the ground, winding between the low and dense rocky mountains, absorbing the unsaturated moisture in the air and gradually expanding, driving the electrostatic ions on the periphery of the magic array enchantment to form a faint upwelling, cutting off the transmission of the magic power of the inner and outer air.

The Silver King covered his forehead with an abnormal temperature, restraining the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and even fell into a kind of brain stroke that was almost terminally ill and had a perennial attack. Maybe he didn't notice, as long as he tried to search for information about Tyr in his memory, his head hurt inexplicably. In his midnight dreams, he always remembered the nightmare of losing his beloved one night twenty years ago. It was a fiery public execution in which a woman tied to a pillar was burned alive......

But that day was a strange and bloody night that was rare in a century.

When the waning moon rises in the east, the stars are crowded, and countless crows pounce on the sky with red eyes, the landscape is not lost to the magnificence of the Qixi Magpie Bridge at all, but it is less romantic and peaceful atmosphere, more harsh noise and heavy visual experience. Since ancient times, the appearance of blood moons has been regarded as a bad omen...... However, at that time, the blood moon was not round, but an eyebrow-like waning moon, and the vacant part was glowing with a purple halo, which made people mistakenly think that the halo was a wormhole to another world.

Just as he was thinking, a man walked behind the Silver King, interrupting his chaotic thoughts.

"King, the blood moon has appeared ......"

"Blood Moon? Is that Mercury, what did you just say about Blood Moon?"

"Just now when I was escorting the dukes out of the Cutting Cavern, I noticed that the moon was dyed a faint red......"

"Today is October 21st, what month is it?"

"String Moon!"

Mercury didn't look like usual, speaking in a very low voice, with a slight sense of vicissitudes, and some subtle echoes interspersed with his words. He stood there with a grim brow, vaguely feeling the near-nothing, air-like existence behind the rocky mountain, his face was still as calm as usual, and his eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier, which really had the magic power to make people forget their inner fears.

"It's really strange, why is there a blood moon at this time?"

"It's not that it appears, but that the moon is dyed red...... Under the influence of the blood moon, the dukes suddenly changed their temperament and killed each other. I couldn't stop them, and in the end I could only send them to hell so that they could be liberated. ”

Hearing this, the Silver King was shocked, turned around and looked at Mercury with a calm and calm expression, and suddenly felt a kind of coldness hit the numbness of his whole body, and he felt that the person in front of him did not look like his old acquaintance for many years, very strange and terrifying. The expression on his face suddenly froze, and he had to suppress his anger at the thought that the second trial was underway.

"What did you do? They killed each other, and you killed them instead of stopping them?"

"Unfortunately, some of the soldiers tried to stop them, and as a result, they were all seriously injured to varying degrees. With my own meager strength, I am even more powerless, and in order for the trial ceremony that you consider to be very important to go smoothly, I have to send those rampant dukes to the Yellow Springs Road. ”

"You...... Why did you kill them all......"

"What's there to question? Haven't you always hated those noble moths? Now, I've helped you get rid of them, isn't it just what you want?"

"You...... After you came back from the Black Mist Forest, your whole personality changed drastically, and you acted ruthlessly and recklessly, and I could treat it as if you didn't see it when you fought evil with evil. But why did you kill all the rampant dukes, even if they became mad and killed each other...... Why weren't the soldiers affected?"

"Can those noble moths compare to the soldiers? they are filthy and evil at heart, and it is not surprising that they will be affected by the Blood Moon, and they deserve it. On the contrary, you Haoze, you are becoming more and more soft-hearted and indecisive, is this the attitude you should have as an iron-fisted emperor? Or do you not care that the throne will fall into the hands of others?"

"You ......"

"Your own brother Caesar has the audacity to appear in the trial ground or elsewhere, and he can come and go without hindrance, is this also your permission?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you can explain to me why you killed someone. ”

"Oh, this needs to be explained, Hao Ze, have you forgotten that what should be investigated is why there is a blood moon in the middle of the night, which is the culprit who bewitched those noble moths. ”

"You ......"

Mercury completely ignored the surprised gaze cast at him by Emperor Milière next to him, he had always had such a face in front of the Silver King, and he had a sanctimonious and righteous appearance in front of others. Sometimes he was in a better mood, and his attitude towards the Silver King would ease slightly.

"Are you still haunted by what happened twenty years ago?" Mercury ......" The Silver King looked at the exit of the cavern, which was unusually calm, and the people inside were apparently unaware of what was happening outside. It's just that I don't know, in addition to the dukes who just walked out of the cave who are affected, the people of Zilvaza City will also be affected.

As soon as he thought of this, the Silver King's heart twitched for a while, and he couldn't tell whether it was worry, anxiety, panic, or pain. At this moment, he looked at the princes who were conducting the trial ceremony in the array, and then looked back at Mercury, whose eyes were like knives, and his heart was like a knife, and he seemed to be tormented by the flames.

"Joke, you are the king of an emperor, I dare to have a grudge against you? ”

"I now order you to immediately lead the troops from the Temple of Cutting Edge into the streets to check on the safety of the people. The Silver King hesitated for a moment, feeling that he still couldn't let go of the princes, and he felt a little guilty about Mercury in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and immediately gave Emperor Milière, who heard the news next to him, a silent look, "Mercury, you are not allowed to fight evil with evil and act recklessly!"

Mercury sneered, a look of disappointment on his cold face, and turned his back.

"I'm so chilled for Abep!"

"Mercury ......"

"Don't worry, I promised Abep that I would definitely do what I had to do. As for you, that's no more than that. ”

Mercury walked towards the exit without looking back, and his body seemed to gradually exude an indescribable momentum, which was a kind of self-respecting momentum in the world, and all of them were ants, not like the temperament that a commander should have, born of extreme psychological advantages.

This conversation, just for a short time, is so-for-tat. It's not like a king and a minister, it's more like a long-standing feud.

At this moment, the Silver King had no time to take care of Yun Zong's next judgment of Addison's intellectual test, he looked at Mercury in the distance, the scorching temperature in the middle of his clenched fist could not warm the back of his cold hand, and his chest that was difficult to calm seemed to be blocked by something, and he was terrified.

"Brother Haoze, are you alright?" Emperor Mirière finally spoke.

"I'm fine!" the Silver King smiled reluctantly.

"It's not all your fault that you did before, so don't blame yourself too much. Emperor Milière paused and gave him a reassuring look.

"Brother Mirière, can I ask you for something?"

"You don't need to say it, I'm going to go outside and see what's going on, you can relax!"
