Chapter 87: An Audience with George III (Part II)
His Majesty the Emperor kindly joked:
"Take it easy, Glerint, I'm no more terrible than the brutes of Fursack.
"Actually, I'm just looking for you for a little thing."
"Your Majesty commands."
Glerint replied respectfully.
George III nodded in satisfaction, then shook his head again and explained approvingly:
"No, no, no, it's not for you to do anything, you are a warrior of the kingdom, a hero of the people of Rune, I know that you are my best subject, and I don't need you to prove it again...... Just wanted to ask you a few questions. β
Glerint nodded in understanding, and his tense muscles relaxed a lot, as if he had really relaxed.
Seeing this, George III went straight to the point and said:
"I probably already know the general situation of the battle outside Kriya...... However, what puzzles me is, why do you move up so quickly in your sequences?
"Well, you know, as a king, although I am not allowed to have divinity, I am also a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, and I am not ignorant of the Extraordinary World.
"Frankly, I'm very curious about how quickly you've been promoted."
Just curious? Isn't there jealousy, greed, impatience, and a skyrocketing desire for control?
Gleilynt sneered in his heart.
He deliberately used a specific technique to incorporate a few wisps of "yellow mist of order" when creating this doppelganger, as long as the real George III in front of him was not a dummy imagined by Adam, then he, as an angel of this path, would definitely be able to perceive the essentia breath that seemed to be nothing!
He deliberately hesitated for a second, and then said unexpectedly:
"Actually, in a previous mission, my performance was more appreciated by Admiral Basel, so he taught me the 'cosplay method' in private."
Basel? How to play?
George III was slightly stunned.
But he quickly reacted, Glerint could have such a speed of promotion, and he would definitely not be able to do it with that meager essentia breath alone, he really should know how to "play...... However, his previous guess was that Glerint's acting method should have come from the hidden being who was operating in the shadows.
Unexpectedly, it was Basel.
He frowned, pretending to understand most of it, but still a little confused, and said:
"I see, but even if you have mastered the 'acting' from the beginning, it normally takes a few years to advance to Sequence 6, right? What's more, you only mastered it after you came into contact with Basel? β
Questioned, He replied:
"Of course, I'm not suspicious of anything...... Actually, it's like this, a certain ancestor of House Augustus, well, he is an archangel who is more powerful than the triple crown of the major churches...... He senses an ominous aura in you. β
"Ominous breath?"
Gleilynt looked confused, as if taken aback.
George III nodded, half earnestly, half threatening:
"It could be the work of some evil and hidden being...... The purpose is probably to come to this world through your body or something. β
He really guessed that, and he never suspected that Glelynt himself was the so-called "hidden being".
It didn't make sense, and in his opinion, if Glerint had been born, he would either find a way to get rid of the essentia, or he would try his best to hide it, keep as low a profile as possible, instead of making a big deal of it, and then return to Beckland with the essentia in a big way.
That's the beauty of the Gleilynt plan.
The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real!
Yes, he had to admit that he did have an element of gambling, but it was a gamble with almost no cost and absolutely so much that the benefits were so big that it was exciting, didn't it?
β¦β¦
Well, you guessed it right, in a way, I am indeed a "secret being" who came into this world, and the original owner of this body is also what I did......
Complaining in his heart, Glerint showed a very natural look of horror on the surface, and he swallowed his saliva:
"You, you mean the evil god?
"You mean, it's possible that I'm being targeted by an evil god?"
George III nodded with a serious face:
"Actually, the most important thing I should do now is to inform the church and control you in time, but ...... Who made you my most loyal warrior and hero to the people of the kingdom? The House of Augustus has this obligation to try to save you! β
Are you sure it's not essentia?
My Revered Emperor, if there is a plan that can be achieved, it is called ambition, but if it is so ambitious, greed can only be foolishness...... Oh, this situation is very appropriate to describe it with the four words "Li Ling Zhi Du" in Chinese.
To be honest, if George III didn't covet essentia, didn't try to pursue the "hidden existence" behind him, and chose to send him to the church, or kill him directly, then his gamble really had no other ending than being forced to give up the identity of "Gleilint".
"However, how could His Majesty the Emperor, who was trying to become a god and was ambitious, resist the temptation of 'essentia'?"
You know, there is a hidden path to heaven to the "old days", once he achieves the true God and masters the essentia, not to mention the clamping of the Church of the Three Gods, even the Three Gods themselves, even Adam and his collaborator with great origins, will not be able to oppose Him.
"At that time, the glory of the Augustus family will be completely implemented in the North and South Continents, the Abyss, and even the Godforsaken Land and the Western Continent according to my will!"
Thinking about it, George III couldn't help but feel a little excited.
β¦β¦
In an instant, both of them were in a thousand thoughts.
Glerint despised George III's wisdom and ridiculed his greed, but on the other hand, he was rightly grateful and delighted.
And George III, while imagining a better future, did not forget to continue to induce and fool Gleilint:
"So, if you notice something unusual yourself, don't try to hide it!
"I can swear in the name of House Augustus that no one will covet your opportunity...... And from the various dossiers, you should know that in similar situations, the truth is often a conspiracy of evil gods, not an opportunity. β
It has to be said that his "persuasion" skills are indeed at the highest level.
If Glerint was really just an ordinary lucky extraordinary, then whether he was a pawn chosen by the evil gods or not, he would inevitably be persuaded by his words.
"Thank you for your attention, Your Majesty, and I have full confidence in your sincerity.
"I'm sorry, Glerin Mariano is guilty, he shouldn't have speculated on the greatness of the House of Augustus with such a humble and narrow mind!"
He deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then met George III's approving smile and poured out in anticipation:
"That's right, Your Majesty, about half a year ago, in that battle, I followed Major General Isla on a crusade against a certain 'Reaper' of unknown origin who was trying to promote to the rank of demigod...... Before the battle broke out, I was tasked with hunting down enemy sentries and preparing them to relay military information, and I ...... that night's chase."
Based on his real experience, Gleilint told the story he had made up in advance.
"By the darkest hours of the morning, the moon had set, and I was almost completely unable to check the road and trace traces.
"It was then that my head sank and I was in a dazeβand when I woke up, I realized that I might have been pulled into a dream."
"Dreams?"
George III confirmed, his pupils dilated, he stared at him deadly, and then raised his hand again, motioning for him to continue.
"No, I'm still not sure if it's a dream or not."
Shaking his head in confusion, Glerint continued to speak:
"Let's just think it's a dream, in a dream I saw a man, no, it might be more accurate to describe him as a god.
"He was clothed in pitch-black armor and a cloak of the same color, and he sat on a great throne of precious stones......"
He described the image of the "Black Emperor" of Russell.
Apparently, according to his description, George III quickly determined who his "dream deity" was, his pupils constricted sharply, and only one thought was left in his head:
Russell is coming back?
Although he is an emperor with an "ordinary life" lifespan, and he has not seen Russell more than a hundred years ago, he has seen the photos of the other party, and he has come to the step of "Prince Killing", and he has no doubts that Russell is the last "black emperor".
Glerint didn't care what he guessed, and at this point, George III would have to figure out the rest of the stuff.
"But He didn't communicate with me or ask me to do anything...... That's why I didn't take it too seriously. Strangely, my potion digestion was much quicker after that, which made me happy and a little uneasy at the same time. β
Speaking of this, he let out a sigh:
"Huh, I blame myself for being greedy, so I dragged this matter until now, but fortunately, nothing happened during this time."
Ending his own nonsense story, Gleilynt turned against the army and stared at George III:
"You'll be able to solve this problem, right?"
"No, I can't."
George III smiled far-fetchedly, still joking to give Glerint a reassuring pill, and before he was stunned and puzzled, he laughed:
"I'm just sequence 5, how can I fight against the evil god, in the face of that kind of existence, I have the same ending as you...... But don't worry, you are a warrior loyal to me, loyal to the Augustan family, a hero of the kingdom, even if the opposite side is really an evil god, the Augustus family will definitely do their best to save you! β
It is better to say than to sing......
Glerint rolled his eyes, he naturally did not have the slightest affection for George III and the Augustan family.
But the show has to go on.
With a twinkle in his eyes, he suddenly got up with gratitude, put his fist to his chest, and said loudly:
"Only loyal to the kingdom, finally Your Majesty!"
