Chapter 249 Insidious
"My members of the meeting, today the sky has become like ink, and the whole world is shrouded in an unknown shadow. We must gather quickly to discuss countermeasures. I am worried that the end of the world will come, and we are unprepared and can only stay on the throne in vain and wait for the end of the world to destroy us."
"...I believe you have learned the methods I have mastered. Yes, the immortality experiment of kings in history has indeed failed completely, but through this failure, I am more convinced of the actual effect of a certain taboo secret technique."
"A life with a life without thoughts is meaningless. Even if we witness the changes of the empire, we do not want each other's will to be erased in history. Then, we should dismember our souls and keep one part of each other to achieve the eternal existence of the soul and the body. Unless we are destroyed at the same time, we will be immortal. Every death will resurrect us in each other, which is the price of immortality, and another mysterious posture of life."
"The sacrifice ceremony is full of costs, and we cannot use our lives to perform the ceremony, so bring your most loyal and healthy retainers here, and we will gather in secret at that place. At that time, we will complete the ceremony, and the price will be paid by those people. We will lie dormant in the shadow of history until the time for recovery comes..."
After reading this text message, Eggs' fingers were immediately corroded by the power of resentment and began to turn blue and black. He immediately destroyed the rune handkerchief with his scepter: "Oh my God, someone secretly conducted an immortal experiment with everyone! If it weren't for the life span, they would not need to inherit the throne at all. They just wanted to achieve their eternal and immortal rule!"
Chen Yaogang stared at Iggs' eyes: "These fragments of resentment runes must be scattered everywhere in the maze. These immortals have eaten the challengers, and they are also helping to eliminate the evidence. These fragmented runes cannot do anything, and the possibility of taking them out of context is also very high, but you have to know... the test is just a cover, and the royal power is the truth of this game."
Then Chen Yaogang laughed: "Of course, don't be so nervous. It is precisely because of your relative simplicity that we can get along so easily. If you are full of your own stubborn thoughts and thoughts, and after you taste failure, you will have to blame others for your sins, maybe I won't consider helping."
"Although it sounds like being praised, I always feel like I'm being scolded..."
Iggs smiled awkwardly. After Chen Yaogang's reminder, he had quickly noticed the abnormality of the situation.
Chen Yaogang didn't blame Eggs. He was not as old as he was forced to take over the king's fault. It was great that he could hold on for half a year and not collapse.
Iggs understood: as the king of the Lion Empire, he must not bow to other kings easily, nor can he let other kings interfere with his own sovereignty laws.
Those dead kings used their ancestors to cheat, and they suffered a great loss in the first wave, and now they were deceived into a vicious cycle... They didn't want to test themselves, they clearly wanted to kill themselves! They even replaced themselves with justification and forced themselves to hand over the throne!
But the Dead Kings did not dare to kill themselves and usurp the throne directly. If they did that, they would not be able to make a deal with the Goddess of Justice, and they would definitely be punished and punished if they broke the rules. The founding Holy Sword Emperor sleeping deep in the maze would not be with them. If they lost the maze, they would have no shelter or room for retreat. Half of Sarnehein was not enough to make them gain a foothold in this world... because their resurrection was quite unstable, and compared with the Holy Emperor who could summon the coming of the Goddess of Justice, they were really weak.
Iggs suddenly felt that he had grasped the purpose and found that his heart had calmed down: "Thank you, Mr. Druid. If I really don't have the talent to manage the country, maybe I should awaken the emperor and let him teach me how to rule the country. I may not be able to listen to him completely, and I will have my own ideas."
"It seems you'll get started soon. Ahem, this knowledge is not what I'm good at, but I'm a little older than you and have more routines than you. The equipment and consumption costs generated by this maze adventure will be troubled by His Majesty Iggs to reimburse him."
Chen Yaogang calmly completed the topic shift and moved towards the bronze inscription: "The inscription marked that there is a maze treasure chest here but we have not taken it, but our main goal is not treasures. If you don't follow the way, don't risk touching it. Traps and monsters will consume our potion reserves, so it's better to push them directly as soon as possible."
Iggs nodded and agreed: "That's right. Since the arrival of the Chaos Meteor, the corrupt time and space have been entangled. There are too many ancient darkness and evil on this land that are reviving. I have treasures and other things. As long as you need them, I can provide you with some financial support."
Chen Yaogang was happy, and he was unchanged. It was a pity that the panicked boy who was not mature enough in his scheming and routine was still very tricky! Open the treasure house and let me choose equipment!
No... No, no, this cannot be called a cheat. At most, it can only be called me holding your wife... Grandpa's lines and scripts are just to spur you in advance.
Anyway, I have also run a lot of bounty tasks for you back then. Don’t see you this time. It’s easy to say if you lend me something to me in the warehouse.
Chen Yaogang nodded: "You know that those dead kings have ulterior motives. Although the Holy Sword Emperor is stubborn and has created this desperate maze for paranoid justice. But I think he should be the most approachable and easy-to-talk among all the emperors. The goddess of justice witnesses your choices and growth. If it were you, you might be able to ask useful things from him, such as..."
Just as Chen Yaogang was planning to design a plot trap, another phantom of the former king appeared again: "Cunning challengers, first of all, congratulations to you for 'destroying' the first labyrinth. But the result is really disappointing. You are actually not interested in the treasures and wills left by the former emperors, and resisting the so-called temptation."
"But I have to remind you, my dear little Iggs: The emperor must remain greedy so that he can have the extra wealth to allocate it to the people. If you think that being honest can save the country, then sooner or later you will be so poor that you can't afford military pay, and at a critical moment, you will not be able to open the treasure house to show the power of the royal power..."
Iggs looked up at the phantom of the former king with his head raised: "I will learn to govern the country after challenging the maze, rather than wasting time here to hunt treasures and die tragically."
