Chapter 364: desire to survive
Chapter 364 Desire to Survive
The little king was worried: "But... the people of the Holy Light Church don't know it, but we know it well! This time it was a hole dug by the Grand Duke, and whoever falls in will be unlucky. Will... what should we do when we get angry with us? Saintess of Sivinaya can't speak well."
At this moment, the shrewdness of the little king came again. He frowned and was caught in a dilemma. He simply did not rush to go down. He sat directly on the cold and damp stairs, took a hard bite of the apple in his hand, and issued a "click". ' chewing sound.
Marquis Belon was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that the little king's IQ suddenly went online at the critical moment, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "Your Majesty's consideration is not unreasonable, but there are some things that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and now the Holy Light Church is actively looking for it. Come on us, it's not that we deliberately want to entrap them. Besides, Your Majesty and I said plainly that they are abandoned sons. How do we know if the Grand Duke has any plans or arrangements? Even if something happens, the Church of the Holy Light can't blame us. on your head!"
The little king nodded thoughtfully and looked down at the not far exit.
As long as you go down two floors and enter the gate of time and space, you can leave here.
In the end, the little king stood up abruptly, but ignored Marquis Veron's persuasion, and went straight to quicken his pace and continued to walk down.
Although what Marquis Veron said seemed reasonable, the Church of the Holy Light, who was so embarrassed, probably wouldn't reason with him. By then, he had completely offended the Kingdom of Lorenzo, and the Loen Federation would also keep an account for him, so he could rely on him. only the Church of the Holy Light.
At that time, people will be the swordsman, I will be the fish, and the Holy Light Church will force all the sins on his head. Does he have any ability to resist?
The little king figured this out, and secretly despised Marquis Veron: "Cut! Do you really think of me as a child? If the Holy Light Church is reliable, sows can climb trees."
However, the little king did not dare to say these words. He did not want to turn against Marquis Veron. Even if he saw that Marquis Veron had disagreements, he should not know it, just because no one was available, and Marquis Veron had the ability to do things apart from loyalty. It's still not weak, and after explaining many things, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
But this time was different. It was related to his own life and death. The little king couldn't have listened to Marquis Belon's mercy.
Seeing the little king walking down the stairs, Marquis Veron frowned, and a flash of anxiety flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect the little king to have a baby at a critical moment. Staring at the doorway where the little king approached the end of the stairs, Marquis Veron's eyes flashed a stern look, but he was quickly suppressed by him, grabbed a few steps, and chased after him.
After entering the doorway, there is a huge dome-shaped basement, which is made of large stones up and down, left and right. It looks very solid, because it is deep underground, and it is cold and damp.
However, the huge basement was full of people at the moment. In the middle of the basement stood a huge gate of time and space with a height of more than ten meters. Drive out through the wide tunnel.
At the end of that tunnel is the Royal Palace Guard Barracks next to the Royal Palace.
It is said to be a military camp, but it is actually a well-guarded material transfer station. Whether it is the materials shipped from the main world or the goods to be transported back to the main world, they must pass through this transfer station and then through the gate of time and space.
The gate of time and space is as busy as usual. There are 500 palace guards who are most loyal to the royal family here, and everyone is an apprentice-level high-level extraordinary person.
Seeing the little king coming in through the entrance to the palace, the captain of the palace guard quickly greeted him, respectfully saluted the little king, and then nodded to Marquis Veron behind.
This captain is also an earl himself, a confidant of Grand Duke Mora, and he also has some royal blood, and is the highest officer who manages the gate of time and space.
"Your Majesty, why did you come down?" the captain of the guard asked inquiringly, because he was stationed underground, he didn't know the situation above.
"Captain Decca Angus, there are some problems with it. I want to stay here for a while, no problem." The little king said with a blank face, and then walked directly without waiting for Decca Angus to respond. Facing the gate of time and space, along some rooms built next to the basement.
That is the place where the palace guards stationed here live. Although the conditions are not very good, they are not so simple.
Deckard Angus was a little strange, looking at Marquis Veron inquiring.
The Marquis of Veron smiled bitterly, briefly recounted what happened above, and said that the little king was frightened and planned to take shelter here.
Deckard Angus nodded slightly. He had heard of Wood Slater's name. He was a powerful subordinate recently recruited by Silabel. He was said to be a powerful necromancer, but he didn't expect to be so powerful.
But Deckard Angus didn't worry too much. He was the most trusted person by Duke Mora, and Silabel was the illegitimate daughter of the Duke. No matter how he and Green were counted, he and Green were in the same group. And he didn't believe that a young necromancer would have such great abilities. He took it for granted that Archduke Mora and Silabel would have contributed to the flames, and he didn't take it to heart.
As for the little king, he was so scared that he wanted to hide here for a few days.
Deckard Angus agreed, and ordered two servants to clean up a bedroom for the little king, and then went to work on his own business.
Marquis Veron found the little king, looked left and right, and there was no one else before he whispered, "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
The little king spread his hands helplessly and said, "What else can I do? It's not safe up there. I'm going back to the main world without authorization and I'm afraid of ruining the grand duke's plan. I'll just hide here. It's the closest to the gate of time and space. If anything happens, I'll just run away and never wait to die here."
Marquis Veron worried: "But Your Majesty, you won't show up here for a long time, I'm afraid..."
"Humph!" The little king snorted and sank his face: "Okay, don't say these are useless, I know you have prepared my stand-in, now it's time to use it, don't hide it on."
Marquis Veron's expression changed dramatically. His preparation for the little king's stand-in was extremely secret. He even let the little king say it casually, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The little king raised his eyebrows and looked back at each other without hesitating. He was afraid of Grand Duke Mora, afraid of Sivinaye, afraid of Silabel, afraid of Green... but never afraid of Marquis Belon: "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Do you still want to kill the king and kill me!"
Marquis Veron realized that he had lost his way, and quickly lowered his eyebrows and pleaded with his eyes: "Old minister dare not, Your Majesty forgive me."
The little king snorted and softened his tone: "Now we are still on the same boat. You have known me and I have known you well over the years. It was not necessary before, and I didn't want to worry about it. But now, life and death are at stake. If I can't survive, I'll let him be buried with me. I don't care what you want to do or which side you are from, it doesn't matter, I just want to live."
Marquis Veron was surprised, as if it was the first time he really knew the little king in front of him.
The little king continued: "Didn't you prepare a substitute for me? Let him replace me now, what do you want to do to let him go."
Marquis Veron remained silent and did not speak. At this point, he no longer pretended to be a loyal minister and a dutiful son. His back, which had been hunched, slowly straightened, and the momentum of the legendary powerhouse was looming, making the little king's breathing stagnate, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. , although the Marquis of Veron is far less terrifying than the vicious Green, but his life is enough.
The little king swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still daringly looked at Marquis Veron, biting his lower lip, his eyes were firm, but his voice trembled: "You...what do you want to do?"
Marquis Veron smiled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister and His Majesty still have feelings for each other over the years, and the minister does not want to be charged with murdering the monarch."
The little king breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "I don't want this either, I just want to live, I don't want to die."
"Live? Why don't you want to live!" Marquis Veron shook his head with emotion, then stretched out his hand: "Give me the seal and scepter. Although the substitute is fake, the props must be real."
The little king understood that Marquis Veron agreed to his request and relaxed a little. At least with that substitute, he was given a life, and someone blocked the sword in front of him. The little king was also a bachelor, and threw out a key: "The safe in my bedroom, you know the password, the seal, the scepter, the crown, the mianfu... just take everything you need."
Marquis Veron took the key and glanced at the emblem ring on the little king's hand. Knowing that it couldn't be taken off, he had to give it up temporarily, then bowed his head and saluted, turned around and walked out.
Watching Marquis Veron walk away, the little king finally let out a long sigh of relief. He sat down on the hard plank bed with soft legs, leaning against the wall and felt a chill, but unconsciously his clothes were sweating. wet.
At the same time, the city of Steinard on the ground experienced the most terrifying night.
As the sky turned white in the early morning, the citizens who had been trembling all night finally looked forward to the dawn.
However, the work of the Special Bureau, the City Defense Army and Green's undead army to clear the traitors is not over.
Those aristocrats and capitalists who were timid at first, found that it was a knife to stretch their heads, and they were unwilling to be wiped out by their families. They began to fight beasts, and secretly contacted them. They felt that one family alone would definitely not survive, that everyone must unite, and there might be a chance of survival.
In the face of this situation, Green chose to let it go, and even secretly added fuel to the flames, deliberately letting those nobles and capitalists communicate with each other.
If they don't unite, how can they dare to resist? If they don't resist Green's army of undead, where will the experience of the undead army and the psionic energy of the cemetery come from?
