Chapter 653 [Absolute Writing (II) - A Man's Promise]

Someone who doesn't belong to this world?

This sentence shocked Du Wei's heart -- this almost touched the deepest and deepest secret in Du Wei's heart! Even his closest people, Vivien and Jojo, didn't know the secret!

And at the moment. In front of this guy who seems to be friend and foe with himself. But he seemed to be so easy to break......

“...... Aren't you surprised?

Dewey, I've been thinking about this for a long time, since you came to prominence, you were called the idiot young master, the fool's son of the earl, but then you created a series of things: the football game you made in the Rollin Plains. Airship. It's called 'Goddess's Forgiveness'. And then to the magic you make to share the jīng god, the Magic Society. Emperor [**] Academy. And that auction house you have in Dìdū...... All of these things are new things that have never been seen in this world.

Sometimes. I'm really jealous of you.

I've been a child. Just ask yourself to be smart. But in front of you. But I don't feel like I'm at all advantageous, and sometimes I even think if it were you. I was born into the Rollin family. Can you create such a miracle like you?

All right. You guy. I'm dead now, anyway, so I'll make you proud for a while—make a mistake, I, Chen・: Augustine. Admit that you are not as good as you.

You're such a guy I can't see. You know what? many times. I think people like you are really dangerous, if ...... If I were a ruthless emperor. Then I would have killed you a long time ago. Haha! Are you surprised to see this?

I admit it. Indeed, I have murderous intentions against you—in the occasional moment.

Some rì sub before. The last game between the two of us, I was shaken even more. I think. You probably guessed that I was terminally ill. You'll pretend to be confused, and I'll pretend not to know, but this game is just you. is qualified to play with me tacitly.

I used to worry about it, too. After I die, leaving you as a guy, my son will definitely not be able to control your land.

However, I weighed it again and again, but I still chose to believe you.

You. Do you know why? I guess you'd like to know.

At that time. You deliberately stayed in dìdū and put yourself under the blade of my ground, also waiting to see how I reacted, hum. Were you always so confident? I really want to be in front of you. I ask you: Are you so confident that I won't touch you?

However, I still lost to you in the end, and you won the bet. I. Believe you,

Let me tell you, there are two reasons.

The first reason is that you can't guess the ground even if you die. Remember your initiation teacher? When you were younger. Your father found you a land for the astrologer named Rosiette.

That old guy taught you for more than a year. In the end, I was scared away by you, and you probably don't even remember the old man who was scared away by you.

But. Later, when we got to know each other. But I secretly sent someone to find him, and I learned a lot about you from where he was.

Do you know why that old man was scared away by you?

It's because of your words: the excessive concentration of imperial power is the root cause of [**].

Alas, what a pity. Your father, Count Raymond, was clever, but he was also confused. Actually, where are you an idiot. You're a genius that even I am ashamed of.

Don't blame the old man, the man I sent asked him to speak. He didn't dare not say it.

I often wonder in private, what is in the heart of a guy who can say such a rebellious thing?

Fortunately, this is the case. Let me be completely relieved of you, because from your words, you don't seem to have a good impression of the emperor's profession, and you don't even like imperial power, if you are asked to be the emperor. You're probably unwilling. So, I'm relieved.

You have no ambitions for the position of emperor. So. I don't have to doubt you.

You see, it's that simple, maybe even you often wonder why I trust you so much.

Du Wei, actually...... When I first became regent, I had a long-term plan. You and I are not much older, we are both young. This empire, this continent, there are many, many great things waiting for us to do! I even thought about it. You and I cooperate. Trust each other, then I will have confidence in my lifetime. Restore this empire to its glory!

Even. I had dreamed of becoming a greater king than the founding emperor Aragon! I believe that with my wisdom and your help, the temple will be good. The Magic Guild is also good. Pope, that old man. The old guy who is the president of the Magic Guild. We can all have a good fight with them!

It only takes decades of work. I am confident that we will be able to sweep away all these restraints! The two of us will join forces to create a great dynasty that has never been seen before! and we will establish a great cause that has never been done before or since

Hundreds of years ago, it was the ancestor of your Rollin family. Assisted my ancestors. Created the great cause of the Augustinian dynasty.

So hundreds of years later, today, I would have believed. The two of us joined forces. You can do a hundred times better than your ancestors!

I even dreamed of being able to live in my lifetime. Put the banner of the thorn flower on the snow-capped mountains of the northwest grassland! Let the imperial fleet crisscross the South Seas, and I want to conquer this land in fact. I want to turn Nanyang into a province of the Empire. Set up a governor there, and I'm going to cut the theocracy and let those gods go and pray obediently. I'm going to break the magic monopoly of the Wizards. Let the splendor of magical civilization illuminate the path of the Empire......

I. There are still many dreams that have not yet been realized!

Pity...... God, but don't give me time.

I hate!

Why don't you give me more time!Why!!

Thirty years...... No, twenty years!, even if it's only ten years!!"

The letter is written here. The handwriting on it began to scribble, and it was clear that the mood of the prince had become agitated when he had written here. And this paragraph is on paper. There are speckled red sè blood stains.

Fear. At the time of writing. Chen was excited and resentful, and vomited blood again.

The handwriting on the back is getting more and more scribbled. Obviously, writing this, Emperor Chen's physical strength is a little exhausted.

“...... Pity. I understand that none of these dreams can be realized.

I have a son. But I deeply understand: it is impossible for him to inherit my dreams, he can inherit the imperial power, but he can't do these dreams. I can't learn either, Karina is my favorite child, but unfortunately, she is a girl.

Alas. Write here. I suddenly remembered a few words you said when you talked to me once in a while: heroes are short of breath.

It's really heroic shortness of breath.

Forget it, I remember one time, you said to me when you were drunk: After I die. Whatever the flood is!

Ha ha. You guy. It's really arrogant and I admire.

I'd love to be as carefree as you, but unfortunately, I'm a king!

Again, that's the same sentence. Before I died, I wanted to drag you with me! Don't blame me for being ruthless.

Don't deny it, and don't think I don't know, you tried to kill me too, right?

Ha ha!

On the day of the coup d'état. Above the city. You've killed me, too. But you didn't do it later.

Well. So, let's even settle it.

Friends. That's right, you're my friend, don't hate me. Everything I did before I died was for the sake of my descendants. For the sake of my empire, I think, you can understand my land.

So. Something. I've wronged you.

Don't take that division of the Nulin Province where I was left behind. Others don't know. But I think you know what I mean. That division. Nominally, to oversee you. In fact. I did it on purpose. In order to reassure the ministers of the imperial court and the opposition. I can rest assured of you.

But you should understand, how can a mere division be able to resist your Tulip family's private army, if you really want to let you go. Then it would not be a division. I'll transfer half of Wang Cheng's Guards Corps.

It's just for show, you know. I know it.

These rìzi. I quietly stole the set of general history of the continent you gave Karina and read it, looking at the notes you left behind. The more I can't see through you.

Alas, I would even think. If...... I knew you a few years earlier. How nice would that be? If I had known you a few years earlier. With the help of a magical guy like you, I don't have to be obscure. I waited for the opportunity of that coup d'état. With your help, I will probably be able to bring down the eldest prince several years in advance and take power early. Wouldn't it be a few more years?

But. Time. It's impossible to go backwards.

Alas. Write far again.

It seems that I have a lot to say to you, but unfortunately, I am tired and can't write.

Okay, let's continue with what we just said. I chose to believe in you before I died. Didn't move you. The first reason is that I had long since heard about your childhood remarks from your enlightenment teacher, Rosiatte. I believe that you have no ambition for imperial power.

And the second reason...... Hehe, don't guess. You can't even guess the first one. The second one you can't even guess.

The second reason...... I still remember the day when the coup d'état took place, in the imperial city, when I publicly announced that you would be the Grand Duke of Tulip. Did I say anything else?

You've probably forgotten it, but I remember every word!

At that time, I said: As long as I live my life, I will never fail you!

Yes, Dewey. As long as I live one day. I will not fail you!!

Therefore, if any emperor in history were to meet a powerful minister like you, I am afraid that he would definitely do everything possible to kill you before he died, but I, I just don't!

Because. I live up to you!

Isn't it surprising? Isn't it very impressive?

Hmph, everybody thinks I'm a guy who is almost ruthless in his senses. I killed my own brother. I put my father under house arrest, and everyone thinks I'm the kind of person who is ruthless for power.

However, this time, I just don't!

I can't be emotional once? hahahaha. Before I die, I just want to be emotional! Bet on your Du Wei's heart!

The human heart is the most unreliable, but I just bet on you Du Wei geocentric!

You guy, you must be very impressed right now.

Du Wei. I promise you. Live up to you. I. And it did!

By the time you read this letter, I am already dead, and I have left the throne to my son. Left the court magician to my daughter. As for you. I don't have any gifts left for you. But it can only be left with one entrustment. It's a request from an old friend who died.

Du Wei. My empire, please help me protect it, okay?

That's all for the letter, the last sentence. The handwriting is already very blurry, and it is clear that Tatsu wrote it when it was here. jīng's strength is exhausted, and he can't even catch the pen anymore.

Du Wei held the letter in his hand, and at this moment he was already in tears. He didn't raise his hand to wipe it, let the tears flow out, but looked at the crystal coffin. He whispered, "You guy, die." They lied to me with so many tears. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook it slightly, and a trace of fire came out of his fingertips. The letter in his hand immediately burst into flames. A moment later, it was reduced to ashes in the firelight.

The ashes scattered, and Du Wei stood in front of the coffin. He nodded to the man inside, in a solemn voice. Word by word, slowly spoke:

"Don't worry, my friend, your empire. I'll take care of it for you

Du Wei walked out of the main hall of the mourning hall, and as soon as he came outside, he saw a small figure rushing towards him from a distance.

Princess Karina's hair was disheveled, she ran disheveled, and even a shoe fell off her feet. Coming from afar. The palace maid behind her, Lan Lan, followed behind. shouted again and again, but Karina didn't care, and rushed directly in front of Du Weide. threw himself into Du Wei's arms and cried, "Teacher!"

Du Wei sighed. Hold the little princess and stand up, and squat down. Look into her eyes.

"Teacher, you're back. The little princess pursed her lips and burst into tears.

"Well, I'm back. Du Wei smiled faintly. A handkerchief was removed from his bosom. I wiped the tears from her face. Karina saw tears in the corners of Du Wei's eyes. I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Teacher." You...... You're crying too?"

Du Wei shook his head. but he did not wipe his tears. Suddenly, he smiled, although the smile was flat. But faintly with a hint of resoluteness.

"You don't understand, it's not tears. Be...... Manly promise!"

After settling down, he looked up and glanced at the mourning hall not far away.

Rest assured. Early morning. I will protect your empire!
