"Wake up, Leon, we're back in the royal city."

At Malenia's calls of concern, Leon awoke from his slumber.

The dusty air irritated his nasal passages, causing him to sneeze several times in quick succession.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back."

"It's okay." Maleia carefully checked his physical condition, and there was indeed nothing unusual before finally relieving himself: "I'm a little worried that you're not waking up for a long time. ”

Li Ang sat up slowly: "I was too close to the death of destiny just now, and I was washed unconscious, so I slept for a long time." ”

Marlenia's face turned cold, and she said sharply: "It's too reckless, how can you touch such a dangerous thing casually, in case something happens"

"Watch for next time." Li Ang made a promise on his lips, but he was actually feeling the changes in his body.

In fact, he lied, the real reason why he was in a coma for so long was that he intercepted a part of the fate that should have been released to the borderlands.

"Where's my beloved brother-in-law?"

Marlenia raised her chin: "In front." ”

Leon turned his head to look back, and sure enough, he saw Rattan, who was extremely striking.

At the same time, he also saw the shocking royal city of Rodel.

The golden tree, which once shone softly, is now red, and the lush foliage that covers half of the sky burns with blazing fire, and most of the sky is reflected red.

Countless twinkling sparks drifted down from the canopy, taking over all the view.

The city's magnificent buildings have long since been destroyed and buried in layers of ash, and occasionally a few pieces of golden rubble can be found in the ashes, telling of the former glory and glory of the royal city.

The choking wind and withered leaves swept across the gloomy earth from time to time, like an apocalyptic scene.

"After all, I still haven't escaped the fate of turning into a gray city."

Leon's tone was slightly regretful.

As the lord of this place, Malenia was very open-minded, and comforted her: "The golden tree is too big, and the royal city is so close that it will bear the brunt of the impact. ”

"When it's completely burned, let's clean it up and repair it slowly."

"I checked around when you were unconscious, and the Holy Tree Army and the residents of the city should have withdrawn in advance, and this is already the best result."

Li Ang patted his ass and stood up: "Where has that person gone now?" ”

Maleia shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't had time to contact them yet." ”

Hearing this, Leon summoned Bayek: "Go outside the city and take a look, and if you meet the Zun Fu or the Holy Tree Army, ask about the specific situation." ”

Bayek transforms into a giant eagle and flies away from the royal city, while he and Malenia walk towards Ratarn.

"Uncle, what about the scenery?"

Ratarn, who was looking at the golden tree from afar, turned around: "It is indeed an extraordinary scenery! ”

Then he said, "Are you okay?" ”

Li Ang stretched: "It's never been so good!" ”

"That'll do." Ratarn nodded in satisfaction: "If you have three longs and two shorts, I can't explain it to Lani." ”

Marlenia suddenly asked, "By the way, why didn't Lani come along?" ”

Ratarn looked at his brother-in-law, meaning you asked him.

"Lani is out of the house." Leon casually found a reason, and then proposed: "The thorn of refusal should have been burned, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Okay." Ratarn immediately responded: "If I hadn't waited for you to wake up just now, I would have gone earlier." ”

Malenia wanted to ask about Rani again, but Leon was not in high spirits and gave up.

After that, the three climbed the high ash mountain to the platform at the foot of the tree.

The platform behind the Queen's Boudoir is high enough that it has not been affected too much, and it has basically remained the same.

Ratarn hadn't been here for a long time, and he didn't expect to come back again.

He looked up at the Golden Tree with emotion on his face.

Although the skin was burned red, like a soldering iron about to melt, the passage to the interior still emitted a blinding golden light, making it difficult to look at directly.

Li Ang walked up to him: "The last step of becoming a king, don't you plan to go in and have a look?" ”

Ratarn looked at the two of them who were not moving, and asked in confusion, "Don't you have any thoughts about the throne?" ”

Li Ang pouted: "The king is not so easy to be, especially the king of the borderlands, besides, I am used to being free and loose, but I can't be bound by a crown." ”

Malenia reached out to catch a fallen leaf burning with sparks: "I don't want to think about it now. ”

Seeing that the attitude of the two did not seem to be fake, Ratan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought that we would end up turning against each other because of the throne. ”

After a pause, he added, "Honestly, I want to give it a try." ”

"Whether you succeed in the end or not, you can give yourself an account."

"Then congratulations in advance to the eldest brother, the new king, on his accession to the throne!" Li Ang laughed and applauded, and then changed his words: "But. One thing to remind you of is what law you plan to enforce when you become king? Do we want to continue to use the tattered Golden Law? ”

With this sentence, he directly asked Ratane to get stuck: "Well, I haven't thought about this yet. ”

If any world wants to develop and change, it needs a set of effective operating rules.

That's what the law does.

Throughout the borderlands, only God-men were able to reveal their own laws, or rather, they were chosen as God-men because of the possibility of creating them.

Lani's Dark Moon.

Michaela's pure gold.

and Maleia's Crimson Corruption.

That's right, the corruption in Malenia's body is actually a rudimentary form of the law, and the correct name should be "The Law of Corruption and Reincarnation of the Crimson Corrupt Goddess".

It's just that she gave up on her own.

(The Dead Prince, the Golden Mask, etc. all belong to the restoration of the original Golden Law, and only the three gods created new ones out of thin air)

Of course, embracing madness is also an option.

But what's the point of destroying everything and returning the world to chaos, even if you become a king.

The question of the law was difficult for the eldest brother, who had already grown a black face, and now he was even darker, and he walked up and down the platform at the foot of the tree in a nutshell.

However, Leon was not enough, and added fuel to the fire.

"If you want to become the new king, you have to defeat the previous king, so. Uncle, are you ready to meet your old father? ”

Ratarn stopped and lamented helplessly, and his whole body instantly aged a lot.

"The matter of becoming a king needs to be considered in the long run, and I may have to go back to Gaelid first."

Leon thought to himself, just give up?

He hadn't told him that Radagaon was Malika, and that he would both die if he wanted to become king.

Saying this is not to dissuade the eldest brother, but to remind him in advance, because once he walks in, there is no chance to regret it.

"It's good to think long-term, and it's never too late to be ready to come back."

Li Ang spoke out to comfort the decadent uncle.

Then Malenia asked, "Do I plan to go back to the sacred tree later, do you want to go back with me?" ”

She had already invited Leon for the second time, but the answer she got was the same.

"I'm afraid not, I want to go around the border these days, and then I'm going to go far away."

Although the man's tone was calm, Maleia was keenly aware of the abnormality:

"Where to go? Could it be that you are looking for Lani? Will we ever have a chance to meet in the future? Where can I find you? ”

A series of questions were thrown one after another, which to a certain extent represented her current mood.

Ratarn also reacted at this time: "You want to leave the border!?" ”

Leon smiled and said, "Everything is pretty much done, it's time to go home." ”

"But don't worry, it's okay to meet if you want to meet in the future."

He was about to explain a few more words when a loud eagle's cry sounded in the distance.

Bayek is back, and he has a man on his back.

When Li Ang saw who was above, he immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the queen's boudoir.

"Later, if someone asks, they will say that they haven't seen me!"

The voice still echoed on the platform, and the person was gone.

Leaving a bewildered look at Malenia and Ratarn.

It didn't take long for Bayek to get close to the platform, and before he could hit the ground, the people on it jumped straight down.

"Where's Leon?"

The menacing appearance made Ratarn frown: "Who are you?" Dare to come to him for trouble! ”

The eldest brother was about to draw his knife when he was stopped by Malenia.

"It turned out to be Xiaomei, I haven't seen you for a long time, is there anything to do with him?"

"It's a shame he wasn't with us."

Melina, who was holding the short knife of the mission, glanced at the Valkyrie expressionlessly, and then turned into a point of light and dissipated.

After she left, Malenia hurriedly asked Bayek, "What's the matter, they quarreled?" ”

The eldest brother pondered for a long time and said, "Maybe. Worse than a quarrel. ”

"Then you bring her with you!" Marlenia couldn't help but complain, and then walked in the direction where Leon had disappeared.

Bayek's face is full of innocence, and he can't help it!

On the other side, Li Ang, who ran into the boudoir, thought about where to hide, but he didn't know that a large number of light spots appeared in front of him in an instant, and gradually converged into Melina's appearance.

He sneered: "What a coincidence, how are you doing lately, have you eaten at noon, I haven't eaten yet." ”

"I'll go back to dinner first, see you later."

Seeing that the man was about to run again, Melina disappeared from the spot in an instant, blocking his way.

"Have you forgotten that we can't be separated, and I can find you wherever you are."

Li Ang slandered the teacher in his heart for not doing a good job, and he must teach her a good lesson next time.

There was a flattering smile on her face: "Xiaomei, I'm really embarrassed that you have traveled so far." ”

"You do have to apologize," Melina's dagger burst into flames, "but not because of this! ”

With that, he raised his knife and stabbed it.

It's okay to hide, but it's not necessary.

Sure enough, at the last moment, Melina deflected the blade, brushed shoulders with Leon, and then kicked him hard in the ass.

"Now we're clear."

Li Ang guessed that Xiaomei wouldn't really do it, but he really didn't expect to let him go so easily.

So he swished and asked, "If you feel uneasy, why don't you kick it again?" ”

"Get out!" Melina's chest heaved in anger.

The man in front of her in the world can make her, a girl with no three, have such strong emotional fluctuations.

"Okay!" Leon bent down and made a gesture to roll.

Melina almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw him so cooperative, but she thought that she was angry and definitely couldn't give him a good face.

"Come back!"

In fact, on the way here, Melina thought a lot, her mission, the person of Leon, and the relationship between the two of them.

Judging from the results so far, Leon probably knew that she was going to sacrifice herself to set fire to the Golden Tree.

But he didn't stop it directly, but found a way to complete the mission instead of himself.

Angry, of course, angry.

As she said to Serene before: this is trampling on her mind and denying the meaning of her existence.

But if she really resents and hates Li Ang, she can't do it.

After all, this man who always secretly takes advantage of her on weekdays has done this, how can it be hated.

She, Melina, is a very reasonable person!

"Tell me the ins and outs, tell me everything."

The rebellious Leon didn't listen to Xiao Mu, and asked, "After the tree burned, did you feel any changes in your body?" ”

Melina, knowing that he cared about herself, forgave him for his rebellious behavior, and replied, "Basically, but I seem to be able to move around as I please, not only in the royal city, but also in other places." ”

Li Ang showed an expression that didn't know whether to be disappointed or reassured: "It's okay to be fine." ”

Melina always felt that he was not at ease, and was about to teach him a lesson, when Maleia suddenly broke into the boudoir.

"Li, have you reconciled?"

Melina said without thinking, "No, there is no good relationship between me and him." ”

"Huh?" Maleia had just the right amount of confusion on her face.

Li Ang hurriedly came out to change the topic: "It just so happens that you are here, let's finish what we just said." ”

"Xiaomei, take her into the Great Blessing."

"The great blessing is not you," Melina said halfway through, then stopped and changed her words: "Okay." ”

She then took Maleia's hand and led her into the round table.

Now the great blessing, the figure of the faded person has long been gone, and it seems a little empty, only the sound of striking iron rings in the ears.

Looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of her, Maleia asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

Li Ang jumped onto the round table in the middle of the hall and opened his arms: "Welcome to my territory, if you want to see me in the future, you can come here to find me." ”

Malenia still didn't understand, "What do you mean?" ”

Leon smiled and explained, "This place, like Fam Yazra, is in the rift of time and space, and once belonged to the messenger of the Supreme Will, and was later transferred to me. ”

Melina next to her had a slight disdain on her face.

What a transfer, it is clearly a hard grab!

Malenia was amazed, "Supreme will! Two fingers! How did you get involved with them! ”

"Leave that alone." Li Ang sat on the edge of the table contentedly: "There will definitely be no consequences, it is completely mine now." ”

Aside from the black light and bloodline that were fusing together, the Great Blessing was the biggest gain of his trip.

It all started a long time ago.

After helping Lani kill Erzhi that day, Leon, who had planned to leave, returned to the cave where Erzhi was hiding.

He was very curious about what exactly was in his head.

If it had a brain.

So the old rules, assimilated, devoured.
