"Is Your Highness worried about something?" Shirley asked, breaking the silence.

The second prince invited herself to come at this time, but she sat by the window and looked at the sky in a daze without saying a word, obviously bothered by something, combined with what had happened recently, she could probably guess something.

"Shirley, in all fairness, do you think I can be a qualified king?" the second prince asked thoughtfully.

"Your Highness......"

Shirley hesitated to know whether to answer or not, or that she was not qualified to answer this kind of question in her capacity, because no matter what she said, it was likely to summon death, and she didn't know what the second prince meant by asking, whether he was really asking a question or ......

"Actually, I really hope that the eldest brother can inherit the throne and deal with those trivial matters, he is always more patient than me, but many times, the eldest brother is too sensitive, or maybe I always say too much, which has caused the current situation, probably both of us are at fault," the second prince picked up the cup and drank the tea that had already been cooled inside.

"Father should be able to see that I have no intention of taking the throne at all, I just want to share more for my father and eldest brother, but the eldest brother cares too much about gains and losses, if this throne is inherited by me, Nanyu will fall into civil strife, so this throne is actually inherited by the eldest brother, and it is best for me to help from the side. ”

The second prince smiled helplessly when he said this, he turned his head to look at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and continued, "It's a pity, things in the world are always difficult to fulfill people's wishes, big brother, he can't wait...... Alas, if the direction is wrong, stop first, re-identify the direction and then move on, this is the principle that my father taught me, but it's a pity that the eldest brother didn't remember, people always have to pay for their mistakes, no one is an exception, you say, Shirley?"

"Could it be that the eldest prince really ......?"

"Think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with the eldest brother's choice, since there is going to be a war no matter what, then what is the need to turn against the gods? As long as you cooperate with the gods, it is equivalent to quelling the civil strife in disguise, but my father obviously intends to use a tougher way to try to control the overall situation, I have to say that the eldest brother is not blind at this point, the other party supports him, and he gives the other party the protection of the kingship, so that it can not solve the worry of civil strife, and can ensure that the throne does not fall into my hands, why not. The second prince said meaningfully.

"But this is treason. Shirley said incredulously.

"Is it treason? If the eldest brother inherits the throne, he will represent the Nanyu Kingdom and the royal power, he just betrayed me and my father, Shirley, do you think family affection and power are more important?" the second prince asked.

"Your Royal Highness, if you weren't born in an imperial family, I would tell you that family affection is much more important than power, but as the second prince, you need to bear much more than others, and power represents responsibility, and it is the trust of the people of Nanyu Kingdom, but ...... I'm not qualified to make a choice for you. ”

Shirley thought for a long time and said cautiously.

The second prince didn't speak, he rubbed the cold teacup in his hand, and repeatedly looked at the delicate and gorgeous carvings on it.

Big brother, big brother, you are really too sensitive, too concerned about gains and losses, this kind of mentality is not the mentality that a king should have.

Why partner with Divine Arrival, don't you really know what they intend to do?

I've never wanted to fight with you, so I always take a step back, but this time I'm not going to give in, just let my father take a good look at what the brotherly affection in his mouth has become, it's not me, it's you, big brother.

"Shirley, you go to this place immediately to find someone, tell the other party that I promise to cooperate, convene the Imperial Council at eight o'clock this morning, and the Divine Presence will make a move against His Majesty and me, if he doesn't want the situation to get completely out of control, it's best to come over immediately." The second prince said and handed Shirley a note with the destination of her trip.

"Your Highness, this is ......

Shirley took the note and looked at it, and found that the handwriting on it was not that of the second prince, and she not only recognized the address, but could even say that it was very familiar.

"You go alone, don't be found by anyone, within an hour no matter what the other party answers, you must rush back, this is the order. The second prince said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Shirley tucked the note into her sleeve and turned to leave the room briskly.

The second prince leaned back slightly, rested his head on the back of his chair, and stared directly at the chandelier at the zenith.

Why do people always like to push each other into a corner?

Brother, it's not my choice, it's your choice.

You are the one who has pushed our family into a corner, no, maybe you are also responsible, father, maybe...... I'm wrong, too.

The second prince slowly closed his eyes, his face rarely showed a trace of exhaustion and unbearableness, he sat on the chair, felt the cool breeze outside the window on his cheeks, raised his hand to support his forehead, and sighed heavily.

......

At the same time, the west coast of the city of Lomé.

Xiao Shu stood on the bow of the boat, his fingertips tapped, and the invisible energy pushed the boat forward, swaying and floating on the sea, the butterfly sat on the board, bored with his feet stirring the sea, a few seagulls seemed to be tired of flying, and landed beside the butterfly to rest for a while.

Xiao Shu is still so cold, I can't see any mood, but Die is a little lonely and sad, although I haven't known each other for a long time, but Su Wen is the same as Xiao Shu, for her is like a teacher's existence, trustworthy, dependent, can always give people a sense of peace of mind, as if no matter how big the matter, even if the sky falls, as long as Su Wen is there, Xiao Shu is there, there is nothing to worry about.

But......

Su Wen is gone, no matter how the butterfly calls in his heart, that voice will never respond to him again.

She asked Xiao Shu, Su asked what was wrong, what was that chain, and where did he go?

But this time Xiao Shu uncharacteristically didn't answer her, just glanced at the sky coldly and shook his head, in fact, Xiao Shu didn't answer and she knew the answer, Su Wen was tied up in chains to save Xiao Shu, probably never coming back, probably ...... Dead, right?

Die?

It's really a cold word, it is the destination of all things, without the slightest emotion and temperature.

It's cold......

Obviously a spirit body that was insensitive to heat and cold, but Butterfly suddenly had a thrill, she hurriedly retracted her feet from the seawater, curled up, and stared blankly at the seagulls jumping around her.

Do they have any more troubles?

The butterfly threw some of the small fish she caught in front of the seagulls.

The seagull croaked happily twice, bowing its head and devouring the fish unsuspectingly, it may never understand what the two men were thinking, but it was glad that the humans here were so friendly.

Quiet, ongoing.

Thirty minutes later, the sky was still so gloomy, as if it was already dawn, but the butterfly felt the signs of the sea being moved, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the seagulls flapped their wings quickly and left the swaying boat.

"Like...... It's going to rain. Butterfly said, looking up at the gloomy sky.

"It's here. ”

Xiao Shu slowly opened his eyes, looking at the extremely dark sea in front of him, if it wasn't close at hand, I'm afraid even he wouldn't be able to detect it, the incomparably cold and obscure dead air under this sea water, as if standing on a sea of corpse mountains and blood, but if the boat drifted a little farther away, this breath would become imperceptible, if it was not expected, what was hidden under this sea water was one of the research places of the new race.

Originally, the puppet only found out that Shenlin was arresting some criminals, madmen and homeless people for the study of the new clan according to the information provided by the nameless person, but the reason why he was able to find this place so accurately was due to the person on the train, yes, it was the dead air left by Wujun.

The person who had been in contact with Wujun on the train was taken away by Shenlin, and since the puppet and Xiao Shu came to Luomei City, they have been keeping an eye on that person, and sent an unknown person to keep an eye on him at all times, but he never came out after entering the almshouse set up by the Moon Sect yesterday, and soon after, even the rich dead air on his body disappeared, combined with the previous news, there is a high probability that Shenlin captured him, so he went to sea to investigate today, and fortunately, the person who came was Xiao Shu, otherwise if he changed to someone else, even if he swam all over the sea, he might not be able to detect this research place located under the sea。

The current development of the situation has exceeded expectations, Lan Dumu chose to wait for the opportunity, but the puppet is not a person who likes to sit and wait for death, since the divine presence likes to hide, then simply pull it out directly, force the other party to come forward, and take advantage of the situation before it is completely out of control, to snatch the initiative back.

The puppet didn't believe that the Qing Society had completely told Zero the research data of the new clan, and the soul crystal was a good proof that the reason why the Qing and Shenlin wanted to go to war was to make the soul crystal, she had to figure out what role the soul crystal played in this, and what the so-called new clan was, only by understanding the source of the problem could it be more convenient to make the next step.

In fact, the puppet doesn't care about the war, nor does it care if the Nanyu Kingdom will perish because of this, as Qing said, whether it is the Void Crystal Project or the New Clan Plan, it will inevitably be accompanied by sacrifice, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of sacrifice, what she cares about is the final consequences of this accident, if the so-called New Race is indeed an extremely unstable threat, then it is necessary for her to snuff it out at the time of Mars.

Even if this so-called new clan is really as Qing said, it is another new beginning, and the existence of being able to fight against external demons and virtual demons in the real sense is meaningless to the puppet, if he even gives up the identity of a human being, then what is the concept he has always adhered to?

Some people may think that living is everything, as long as they can live, it is nothing to give up human nature, and there are many people in the war who will do whatever it takes to survive, and eating and drinking blood is just the norm.

But Qing's new clan plan is different, the essence is different, what he gave up is not human nature, but completely, completely abandons the identity of a human being, if he succeeds, the human race will die out in the real sense, because the puppet really knows human nature too well, in the face of desperation, no one will say no to hope, even if this so-called hope will bring about destruction faster than the void demon.

For the puppets, the new race is not hope, but the beginning of destruction, a seed of destruction born out of despair!
