Chapter 53: The Eternal City Lord

The so-called farewell room is actually the castle's original council hall, a hall dedicated to high-level officials and city lords to discuss government affairs.

The room is not too big, more than 200 square meters of space, and the original furnishings in the room have long been emptied, making the whole space look quite empty.

The room has been painted in black and white, revealing a solemn and mournful atmosphere, and the four walls are hung with the portraits of the city lord from his youth to his deathbed, and the portraits are full of flowers, and there are several rows of wreaths more than one person high in front of them, filling the huge room. On the wall facing the entrance as soon as you enter, there is a huge portrait of the city lord, and the man in the painting is in the prime of life, and he is seven or eight points similar to His Royal Highness.

In front of the painting is a coffin, and the city lord is lying in the coffin covered with a blue city flag, and only his face is outside. At this time, there is no longer any distortion and violence on this face, and all that remains is the final calm.

His Royal Highness Baron Trine walked into the farewell room expressionlessly, carefully closed the door, and then leaned against the door, looking up at the huge portrait opposite him, and was a little distracted for a while. After a pause, His Highness straightened up again, slowly walked to the city lord's coffin, gently stroked the glass coffin lid, and looked down at the city lord's calm appearance through the lid.

"Are you really dead? It's mine...... Father, is it true this time? After staring at it for a long time, His Highness sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Over the years, you have pretended to be dead three times, and every time you want to see how we react, I thought today was the fourth time, but I didn't expect that this time it was actually true?" โ€

The body did not respond, just lay there quietly, as if it had just fallen into a deep sleep.

His Royal Highness waited for a long time, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly, the expression on his face was like joy and pain, the corners of his mouth twitched, like crying and laughing, and his voice had a heavy nasal voice, but it sounded cold like a stone.

"Why have you done this to me all these years? What do you want to see me do, I will take the initiative to do it, every word you say, I will not compromise on execution, am I not obedient enough to you? Am I not respectful enough? Why do you fight me so hard, why do you devalue me for nothing, why do you think of me as a waste, I am your son, my dear father. โ€

"It's been a long time since I've called you that, father, so long that I've forgotten how it feels like, what about you, remember? Those childhood days, with yours, with Sophie, and Aurora, hehe, it's just stupid and shameful to recall now, but why can't you forget it? โ€

"Forget it, the world has changed, we have all changed, we can't go back, Sophie and Aurora may be able to go back, but I can't go back, so can you, father, is the price of becoming the lord of the city, is it to become as crazy as you?"

"Seriously, father, although you have been trying your best to beat me and torture me all these years, I don't hate you at all, I just ...... Alas, forget it, in short, no matter what you have done, you are still my father, and I have obeyed you and respected you for half your life, and this last moment is no exception. โ€

While saying this, His Highness knelt on one knee and bowed his head to kiss the transparent coffin.

"Before I came up just now, I talked to a few earls, and they told me that you have repeatedly hinted to them in the last few days that you want to pass on the position of city lord to me, heh, father, it seems that you finally approved of me in your heart, and think that I am as crazy as you?"

"The day has finally come, and I have imagined the way forward countless times, and now I finally have the opportunity to put it into practice. Don't worry, the city you left behind, I will run it 'well' according to my ideas, and I will also treat the two of them 'well', so that they can live as long as possible, hehe, I will definitely do my best to take care of the blood you left behind, and you can sleep peacefully, my dear father. โ€

As His Highness muttered to himself, the expression on his face kept changing, sometimes calm, sometimes distorted, but his fists were clenched tightly, his nails had already pinched the palms of his hands, and he raised his hand several times to smash it against the glass lid of the coffin, but finally put his hand down. It wasn't until after kissing the coffin that he got up again, gently lifted the lid of the coffin, straightened the pillow in the coffin, and then helped his father tidy up his body for the last time.

However, at the moment of contact with the body, all movements suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped at this moment, His Royal Highness was trembling slightly, especially the two hands, which trembled even more violently, and his expression became extremely distorted.

Because, the skin has a temperature, the temperature of a living person.

At the same time as His Highness stopped, the corpse of the city lord Wesley opened his eyes, and the father and son looked at each other inside and outside the coffin, without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the entire farewell room was solemn to the point of solidification for a while. Wesley stared at His Highness coldly, looked at it for a long time, and then smiled coldly, pushed away His Highness's hand that was about to help him straighten his neckline, and sat up from the coffin.

"Fool, you're glad you didn't reveal your true nature. Even if I'm dead, you don't dare to disobey me, count you smart once. Wesley snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Surprised by what? Didn't you guess that I was playing dead at the beginning, aren't you quite courageous, hmph, now you know that you are scared? It's late. Also, what about the two bastards? I'm already dead, and I've been dragging on until I haven't come. Oh, by the way, that beast hasn't come back yet, hmph, it's better not to die outside, she might still be useful, what about the second one? โ€

"She has not come out from the depths of the temple since yesterday, and I heard that she has listened to someone's orders, and has been imprisoned in the temple for the past few days to repent of her crimes." His Royal Highness subconsciously straightened up and lowered his head in response, "I didn't leave the temple until just now, and it seems that I didn't plan to summon the order accordingly." โ€

"Hmph, it seems that you have been monitoring me very closely recently, and you have finally boiled me to death, but you must monitor the second and third children, and you can't let them have the opportunity to fight with me for inheritance, right?" Wesley's sneer was filled with endless mockery, "As a result, it's a pity that this old immortal didn't die." Hmph, this expression is very good, it is not in vain that I deceived everyone, let them think that I am really dead, and I also intended to reveal to them that I plan to designate you to inherit the position of the city lord, and I want you to have this distorted expression. Are you disappointed now? What's even more disappointing, I really won't live for a few days, but the heir is not necessarily you, your performance just now is very average, if one of them is more satisfactory to me than yours, then she is the new city lord of Donggu City, and you, hahaha...... You ......"

Wesley's maniac laughter came to an abrupt end.

As he said the last paragraph, the bloodshot in His Highness Trine's eyes became more and more, and the expression hidden by lowering his head became more and more distorted, and just as Wesley was laughing like a mocker, Trine suddenly rushed up, jumped directly into the coffin, pushed Wesley to lie down again, and then pulled out the fluffy pillow in the coffin, and covered Wesley's face hard.

"Hmm."

Crazy laughter was blocked behind the pillow, and Wesley began to struggle desperately, while Trine looked crazy, clenching his teeth, his eyes were red, the veins in his neck were throbbing, his nostrils were wide open, and the back of his hand pressing the pillow was bulging. Two ordinary people with no ability to fight, entangled in a small coffin and trying their best to fight, the old Wesley is obviously not the opponent of the young Tryan, the struggle is getting smaller and smaller, and Tryan pressed the pillow with both hands, and roared fiercely: "You forced me, old thing, you didn't leave me a way out." โ€

"I've been waiting for more than ten years, looking forward to your death every day, looking forward to it every day, but you just don't want to die, why don't you die? I've done everything I can, and you're telling me that they might be the heirs? Then you might as well hurry up and die, anyway, everyone thinks you're dead, then you're really dead, your heir is me, you can't change it, hahaha, go die, go die, die, give me death now. โ€

Wesley's struggle became less and less, but Baron Trine's movements became more and more violent, and in the roar, his expression gradually became extremely crazy, and he could no longer see a trace of reason, and his eyes became blank, as if he had lost his soul.

Soon, Wesley under the pillow stopped struggling, and his body was completely paralyzed, although after a few seconds, his already limp body began to tremble slightly for some reason, and his limbs were also struggling slightly, but after the last not fierce confrontation, Wesley's last vitality was also exhausted, even if he was not dead and covered by the pillow, he couldn't support it for a few seconds.

However, at this moment, Cui En's empty eyes suddenly became clear, his crazy expression quickly subsided, and he became extremely calm, he sneered, and with an inexplicable sense of stiffness, he crawled out of the coffin, and after stepping on the bottom, he acted strangely with his deep arm and kicked his legs again, as if he was very uncomfortable. As for the pillow in his hand, he had already let go, and when he was dying, Wesley only had the strength to hold his breath, the muscles of his limbs trembled desperately, but he couldn't even move his fingers, only a pair of cloudy eyes, staring at Cui En outside in horror, his mouth opened wide, but he didn't have the strength to say a complete sentence.

"Congratulations, you've finally taken the position of city lord as you wished, although it is only a few minutes." Cui En's tone was no longer as respectful and submissive as before, the corners of his mouth were curled, he smiled and moved his limbs, and there seemed to be a deep chill hidden in his indifferent voice, "I haven't enjoyed it for many years, is this what it feels like to be young?" I've almost forgotten what it's like. โ€

"Ah, ah, you, ahem." Wesley in the coffin was panting violently with his mouth long, and he couldn't wait to say something at this time, but he didn't catch his breath, and his face turned purple with a violent choking cough.

"Calm down, calm down, calm down you may have two more minutes to live, my son." Cui En grinned, Bai Sensen's teeth seemed to glow with a scarlet demonic blood light under the sunlight, Cui En smiled like this, and said gently, "It's really my good son, he has always been so obedient, even in the end, he has to take the initiative to die for me." Since you are so urgent, then you are welcome, I will accept this young body, thank you, good son. โ€

The horror gradually turned into extreme anger, and Wesley's body even managed to raise his arm, gasping and pointing at the laughing 'Trien', but Trine was unmoved, calmly straightened his neckline, and let out a few chuckles.

"Although Lord Ronak has a big appetite, it is not easy to make him happy, but I must admit that the methods he provides are really amazingly effective, but they are too troublesome." 'Cui En' pursed his lips, and his mouth was full of slurp, "I can only transfer souls to a few of you direct bloodline, and it must be done at the same time as killing relatives." This alone is already difficult to satisfy, not to mention that there is still a month-long preparation time in front of you, and you can actually complete these processes without being discovered by Abby and Ira, and now I think about it incredible, mainly because you cooperate well, many steps can only be completed by you, so you are really my good son. โ€

"In comparison, it's much easier for you to kill me, I know you too well, as long as you see the opportunity, you dare to do anything. I just need to inadvertently reveal that no one knows the truth, and then give you a little push, and you will naturally do what I have arranged. Hehe, it's a pity that Sophie and Aurora are not as obedient as you, otherwise they can be solved by the way, and there is no need to find opportunities so much trouble later. But don't worry, I know that you hate them and want to torture them to death, so I will send them to accompany you, if you want to blame them, they shouldn't be my bloodline, who let Ronak's method is to rely on swallowing his own bloodline to absorb life, hehe, with your dedication, I can use this young body in the future to become the immortal king of Donggu City. โ€

"Cluck, cluck", 'Wesley' throat wheeze, after several consecutive gasps, rolled his eyes and completely lost his heartbeat, 'Treen' admired the whole time outside the coffin with his hands behind his back, until 'Wesley' completely lost his breath, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the aftertaste for a long time, and then reached out to probe the corpse's neck to confirm that there was no heartbeat, then patted the corpse's face and nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't struggle, the ritual is complete, you're going to die, it's just a matter of a few minutes earlier or a few minutes later. Well, goodbye, my son, goodbye, my father. โ€

The brand-new Baron Trine burst out laughing, and after a long effort to bring himself to a look of back pain, he closed the coffin, pushed open the door of the farewell room and walked out, and as the door closed quickly, only Wesley's body remained, still lying quietly in the farewell room full of wreaths.

And, of course, the Bรกb.

Not long after Treun's body left, Babu emerged from the shadows behind several wreaths, and he thought for a moment at the door of the farewell room with a look of disgust, and then turned his gaze to the body in the coffin.

Well...... After a slight groan, Babu squinted his eyes and sneered in a low voice, opened the lid of the coffin, crossed his fingers with his hands, and pressed towards the corpse.
