In the face of Ron's questioning, the old king hesitated for a long time, and finally he spoke:

"Vivienne her. When she was born, she was bathed in the blood of the Titans, which may be the reason why she has the blood of the Titans in her body. ”

Ron wasn't very happy with this answer.

He tapped lightly on the colorful scale armor, and suddenly asked:

"Isn't the spatial rift between the Titan Plane and Cullen sealed? Where did the Titans come from? ”

Ron had serious suspicions that the old man might be withholding some key information.

Looking at the young dragon with a questioning face in front of him, the old king sighed, and had no choice but to continue to tell the story of the past:

"Fourteen years ago, I traveled throughout the Rose Kingdom in search of the legendary Floating City left behind by Cullen's first demigod Goblin [Machine Lord], Westley Beach."

Hearing the words "Floating City",

Ron's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was ecstatic.

It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, but the man is in the dim light!

It turns out that the Floating City really exists, and it was created by that genius goblin demigod?

No wonder I haven't found a clue.

The Karen Encyclopedia doesn't record Westley Beach's creation of the Floating City at all, and there is no information about it.

Ron reckoned that all of Cullen might be left with records from the Rose Royal Secret Archive.

Although his heart was excited, Ron's face didn't show any waves.

He did not interrupt the old king, but let him continue.

The old king did not notice the change in the young dragon's mood, he recalled the scene at that time, and slowly recounted the chance encounter between the king and the village girl.

"The Floating City left behind by Westkerly Beach is the result of his life's work."

"According to the Royal Mystical Archive, the goblin demigod Westley spent hundreds of years building the flying city before mysteriously disappearing, and the weapons included a star nuclear bomb capable of killing the demigod Titans"

"I thought this weapon might be able to help the Titans invade, so I used my patrol to explore the ancient ruins in the hope of finding clues about the Goblin Floating City."

"But what I didn't expect was that instead of finding the Floating City, this expedition met her."

Speaking of this, the old king sighed again.

He looked up at Ron, "Do you know what freedom tastes like?" ”

"Freedom?"

Ron frowned again.

The old king didn't seem to think that the young dragon would answer, and he said to himself:

"It was in that small town that I met her."

The old king's tone was filled with sadness and remembrance.

"The girl was a free soul who kept a herd of cattle on the farm and made a living from it."

"She was the only one in town who saw through my disguise, and by accident I stayed in her cabin for one night, and we talked a lot that night."

"I found peace in her for a long time, and when I talked to her about my goals, she asked me a question."

Ron couldn't help but interject: "The so-called taste of freedom? ”

The old king nodded.

"I said a lot of answers, but she laughed and didn't say anything until the end."

The old king couldn't help but think back to that night again.

A breeze passed through the window, and the girl's hair floated.

The silky milk dripped into the container, creating a ripple-like ripple.

The farm girl said with a playful smile as she boiled milk for him:

"In my opinion, the smell of freedom is probably the smell of cow dung on the farm."

Ron wrinkled his nose slightly.

It was hard for him to imagine that this smell associated with "freedom" turned out to be cow excrement.

But he could feel an unspeakable emotion in the old king's words.

Such emotions should not have been seen in a king.

The relationship between Vivien's mother and the king is definitely not the story of "the king's drunken sex" that Gandalf knows.

They should have a great relationship, but I don't know why they made that kind of drama.

The old king paused and continued:

For her, the smell of cow dung represents the aroma of the land and real life. On that farm, she lives with the herd, enjoying the feeling of freedom and being in harmony with nature. ”

"But."

The old king was suddenly silent.

He subconsciously glanced at the wooden bookmark on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"I deprived her of her liberty and forced her to follow me back to the palace."

"But I didn't expect that the Titans would be so crazy."

At this, the old king's wrinkled hand began to tremble slightly, and a trace of pain appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"After I returned to the palace, the seal of the spatial rift in the underground was briefly opened by the group of Titans!"

"They don't know how to bypass the perception of the divine spirit body and directly cross the spatial rift."

The old king recalled the scene after returning to the palace, and still felt a little afraid.

"Later, I carefully searched for relevant records in the secret tome, and speculated that it should be a blood sacrifice ritual."

As he spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and there was anger burning in his eyes:

"But to start this blood sacrifice ceremony, someone in the main plane needs to take the initiative to offer a sacrifice to open it!

"This shows that there are humans in the Rose Kingdom who are actively contacting the Titan invasion!"

"It's a pity that I haven't found the guy who launched the ceremony so far, otherwise"

The old king's eyes gradually dimmed.

He still remembers that day.

When the spatial rift in the underground is opened, the power of the Titan's fury is instantly released.

Fortunately, under the suppression of the plane, the Titan gods could only maintain the combat power of the demigods, which allowed the spirit of Brian XVII to defeat them.

Even so, the royal palace that day was almost in ruins.

In the end, it was only through the cover of the Nine Great Circles that the residents of the royal capital did not find out.

Despite the old king's divine body sealing the cracks with all his might, some of the royals living in the palace were still contaminated with the blood of the Titans.

That included Vivien's mother.

Under the erosion of the Titan's blood, their bodies began to mutate, becoming extremely powerful and violent.

The old king continued with great sorrow:

"I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to settle this matter before they had any changes."

"I executed them, including her."

He was forced to execute those who had undergone a mutation.

They used to be his closest people, but now they are about to become uncontrollable monsters, no longer with human reason and emotion.

It was an unbearable pain for the old king.

Ron, who understood the cause and effect, sighed lightly:

"So, Vivien was corrupted by the Titan's whim in her embryo?"

The old king nodded.

"Yes, after that incident, the blood of the Titans and the blood of the humans were intertwined, creating a unique being like Vivien."

"If you look at it by blood, Vivien is actually a descendant of Titans and humans."

The old king's voice was a little hoarse.

Vivien was the only child he had left with the farm girl, and the only trace of her existence.

She has the blood of Titans and Humans, and is destined for a fate unlike any other.

The old king was well aware of this fact, and even though he had painfully executed the other infected, he could not bear to treat his own daughter.

Gandalf secretly sent Vivien out that night, and the scene of exchanging a tanuki for a prince was actually carried out under the nose of the old king.

You know, Gandalf is just a mage with the strength of an archmage, and it is impossible for him to play mirror magic in a royal prison watched by a legendary mage to deceive the king's gaze.

maybe

That moment

It was his emotions as a father that overrode the sanity of the human king, making him choose to ignore the fact that Vivien was alive.

The old king was well aware of Vivien's special identity and fate, and in order to protect her, he chose to hide her existence and keep her away from danger.

He understands that his duty is to protect the kingdom and its people, but at the same time he is also a father, and his love for his daughter trumps everything.

Ron and the little golden man stared at the old king silently, and they could feel the sadness and helplessness in his heart.

Home and country, hatred and resentment, the road is half to the sky, if he takes a step, no matter which way he goes, he can never turn back.

But when you are in charge of a country, you often have to make such difficult choices.

After talking about the events of the year, the old king looked at the iridescent young dragon and asked tentatively:

"Your relationship with Vivien."

The old king had known about Vivien's summoning of a crystal dragon.

But when he thought of Vivien's Titan blood, he didn't take it to heart.

He had also suspected that the dragon in front of him was the dragon Vivien had summoned.

But his colorful scales don't look like the crystal dragon reported by his subordinates at all!

Crystal dragons are known to be almost transparent white gemstone dragons, and seven-colored scales are simply not possible.

The old king naturally excluded the correct answer.

But what he never imagined was that his daughter was not summoning an ordinary crystal dragon, but a legendary iridescent dragon!

The asymmetry of information made the old king fall into a state of worry.

He thought that the other party was unhappy with Vivien's enslavement of a dragon, and at the same time discovered the blood of the Titan in her body.

"In case this heir has any dangerous thoughts about Vivien"

The old king frowned and thought in his heart, how to let the daughter in front of him be a horse.

The old man tried to say:

"If you don't like it, I can arrange for her to leave the royal capital"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ron with a black line on his face.

Just kidding, Vivien is gone, you're going to cook for me?

Four years later, the travel goal one you gave me to complete?

Ron complained in his heart, and said with a serious face:

"Vivien is not a tool you can manipulate, she has her own choice, and she will decide her own fate."

"But no matter what she chooses, I'm her biggest backing."

The old king and the little golden man looked at the iridescent young dragon with a determined glint in their eyes.

The relationship between the two of you is so good, you said it earlier!

What are you worried about?

The old king took a deep breath and straightened up, staring firmly at the iridescent dragon.

"You and I will respect Vivien's choice and provide her with support and protection. This is my final salvation. ”

The little golden man standing on the side also nodded in agreement.

He actually represents the extremely kind side of the old king, otherwise he would not be willing to stay in the middle of the spatial rift for hundreds of years to protect mankind.

The iridescent dragon flapped its wings slightly, and there was a hint of satisfaction in its eyes.

"Very well, so let's talk about the next king."

"Okay."

After a while.

"Huh?"

"What! You say you're not the king? ”

The old king's eyes suddenly widened, and they looked at the iridescent dragon in front of them in surprise and lost their voices.

They had expected that the young "lad" would be more than willing to accept the throne, after all, this was a position above ten thousand people.

According to incomplete statistics ten years ago, the population of the Rose Kingdom today has exceeded 340 million!

These are the building blocks you need to become a god!

For thousands of years, no one dared to intervene in the mission of this huge force of faith under the rules of the kingdom.

Only the Most High Scepter has drawn some of the power of faith with the help of the gold coins of the modern kings.

Would even a god be thrilled by the sheer size of the Rose Kingdom (i.e., those who have no formal faith, not pure non-believers)?

However, the two never expected that the other party would refuse to accept the country.

"Hey, I mean I won't be the duty of the king, but I still need the rights of the king."

Ron raised an eyebrow, emphasizing his thoughts once more.

Ignoring the other party's reaction, he continued to say slowly:

"I have chosen the next king of the kingdom of roses, and I will personally put on her crown, and the first queen of roses will be ushered in."

"She? Queen? ”

The old king frowned, pondering the meaning of these two words.

The old king didn't pay attention to Ron's thoughts, and he began to think about the next king that Ron had just mentioned.

The face of a girl who had only been seen in photography suddenly flashed through my mind.

He had a flash of inspiration, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise:

"Could it be that you want Vivien"

Ron nodded, acknowledging the old king's conjecture.

Seeing that the old king frowned and said slowly:

"However, she herself is helpless, although she is friendly with several young metal dragons."

"But according to the covenant of no war, those dragons can't support her openly, how can they bear it with her power."

"Ahh

Ron smiled disdainfully, looking at the old king with a playful look.

This old fox is still acting with himself.

This guy really has completely inherited the existence of human nature, although he doesn't mention Ron in every sentence, but behind every sentence is Ron.

"Me"

The iridescent dragon shook his head, interrupting the old king's words.

"Don't you already have the answer in mind?"

Ron looked at the human in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled, and slowly spoke:

"I'm her biggest backer!"
