The king doesn't remember this - these memories were stripped away by previous kings, and he certainly doesn't remember them.
But now, he has finally begun to be confused. The loss of too many memories prevents him from truly becoming the king he once was.
"Isabel" said in a soft voice,
"Don't use her voice to say such things again." The king sighed, "Yes, my disability has made many things that were only a part of my life become top priorities that I cannot give up. You... are right. But this cannot be changed - I am the king and I will take over this country. If I lose even this sense of mission, my memory will never be me again."
The flames turned into spears in the king's hands.
"Even if it is my fault, I will make up for it later. Now, give me an answer."
The spear roared out, and a giant umbrella of flames opened in the air, breaking through the entire street like a meteorite impact, and the ground and houses turned into part of the lava. And at this moment, another ball of golden fire crashed over like a blazing sun. Although it was much smaller than the fire umbrella in terms of volume, it hit all the power of the flames in a loud explosion. The sides protected the back.
The king raised his eyebrows, and the sea of fire gradually dissipated. Yan Rong pointed a gun burning with golden flames at the king, and raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm back, king. We may have to continue the fight that we didn't finish just now."
"If you provoke me when I'm in a bad mood, I can't guarantee that I can still be as generous as before." The king suppressed his smile and turned the flame into a white scythe. "Half of your wings have been broken. Your strength is not even as good as before, you are not qualified to fight me at all."
"Ah, I don't think so." Yan Rong swung his spear, "In the final analysis, this inner manifestation is supported by the strength of the human heart, isn't it? If I think I can win, then my power will be infinite. Endless."
"Stubborn... Your wings have not been repaired yet. Do you think you can still catch a few more of my moves?"
"Give it a try."
=
"Hey! Lan Tu!" Lu Ning held the white flames and roared all the way.
"My ears are almost deafened by you..." The answer finally came from the flames.
"How is the situation at the palace? Let me tell you..."
"Is this the king's method of ordering his ministers? You know, you know, Dorothy is fine. I said I won't let anything happen to my team members." Lan Tu interrupted Lu Ning, "The palace was bombed by Dan Sheng, we found him It was a little late, and he had to be injured a little, but this is a minor problem, you don’t have to worry that there are still people here to support the king."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I don't know how the king marked his ministers. He just took some precautions in advance. Let's get down to business."
"We have gathered together the things needed for the funeral ceremony. Yan Rong has gone to lure the king. I need an area to expand the memory network. Do you know a suitable place?"
"Then let's go to the palace. The place that was just blasted by the full-dimensional cannon is very suitable. There is nothing there."
"...Lan Tu, I remember you seem to be just an ordinary team leader."
"Yes, I just like to think about various things and care more about my team members. Is there anything else you want to do? Do you need my help?"
"Leaving there, we don't know what the consequences will be if the king's funeral rites are performed."
"That's it, then I wish you good luck." Lan Tu said with a smile.
Lu Ning put away the flames and glanced at Heizumi Kuzumi behind him. He followed closely behind him with the greatest bishop. The shadow on his body condensed into a pointer above his head. This was his treasure that "came in search of blood." The original power, tracking traces of battle and destructive assessment, can be assessed in a wider range after this treasure is turned into a mental shell, such as...
"It's right in front."
Kuzumi Heizhen pointed to a location not far outside the dark space, and Lu Ning quickly landed in that direction.
"here?"
This location is on a slightly higher ground. A street originally located here was shaken by the aftermath of the previously destroyed space, leaving only broken walls.
"Well, this should be the geomantic treasure land where the king is buried." Kuzumi Heizhen looked around, "It's not far from the space crack. We can easily connect the two. We will expand the memory network here. Bar."
Lu Ning nodded, picked up the transparent box, and slowly released his hands.
The box floated in the air, and the core that had been activated by Vera soon began to gather more shining light. The transparent shell slowly disappeared, and everyone felt that the sleeping consciousness there was slowly awakening.
A white beam of light rushed into the sky, and the clouds were opened by this beam of light. Lu Ning finally saw the world above the clouds - there was no light, only an unrecognizable hollow gray covering the world.
This world is chaotic... It wasn't until Manden opened the way to other worlds that the knowledge of those different worlds began to flow here. But precisely because of such chaos, there are no fixed rules in this world. All can grow here.
Maybe the king once thought about cutting through the shell of chaos, but he never did it.
"Lu Ning?" Kuzumi Pingzhen called her.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ning came back to his senses and found that Kuzumi Heizhen had placed some things packed in small bags on the surrounding ruins in an orderly manner, and also picked up some stones to separate and adjust the height. These should be the sacrifices.
"We should send a signal to Yan Rong." Kuzumi Pingzhen glanced at a half-collapsed building next to him. The greatest bishop was sitting on a large stone that was originally a roof, holding Ji Music Music in both hands and smiling at the two of them.
"good."
Lu Ning raised her hand to the sky, and black ink began to pour out from under her feet, quickly splashing on the surrounding rocks, unfolding a picture purely painted with different shades of black. As the ink gradually expanded, this huge picture slowly took shape. It was exactly the picture Lu Ning had seen from the Dark Sage before.
The last ray of ink flew towards the sky along Lu Ning's finger. She pulled out her time pistol and poured all her power into the sky. A huge crack in time opened, and the thunder emitted from the crack soon connected with the crack in the palace not far away. There was a certain reaction.
The preparations are complete, and Yan Rong should have seen this signal.
A golden fire rose in the distance, and holy wings spread out on both sides and rushed in this direction. The sharp gun in front of the flame was pushing a man who was blocking with a sickle to quickly approach this direction, but he only pushed it close to the sky. At this place, the king who was pushed over by Yan Rong turned into a stream of light and escaped from the control of the spear, leaping higher into the air.
"I thought you had prepared some great surprise for me." The king raised his hand and pressed down, and the chessboard-shaped line quickly spread to Lu Ning's position, "A photo? A ceremony? When I saw those nobles and their After preparing the things, do you think these can still affect me?"
The line has submerged into the earth's surface, and with the dragging of the latitude and longitude of the void, the space is once again evenly divided. Yan Rong rushed towards the king, and the dense lines also formed the shape of a long stick in the king's hand. The king smashed the entire space in the path with one stroke. Yan Rong barely blocked the first blow with his gun, but the second blow that followed immediately smashed the surrounding space into a spider web shape. There were cracks, cracks from the sky to the ground. Lu Ning could hear noisy sounds in his ears, and the surrounding space was already overwhelmed.
"Get out of here!" Kuzumi Heizhen dragged the greatest bishop and took off. At the same time, the king also threw out the third stick. Just like a cement wall being smashed, the sound of the broken structure was accompanied by the vibration and shattering of everything around him. Yan Rong was directly hit to the ground by the third blow, and the space below the king also followed this attack. It shattered and began to overlap and descend. Lu Ning almost flew out of the crushed space and looked at the area whose shape was no longer distinguishable.
"How fragile." The king snorted coldly.
"Ah, this is exactly what we need. It might not be so easy if we destroy that space ourselves." Kuzumi Heimai suddenly appeared behind the king, holding the long purple phantom in his hand. Dao, "Now, it's completely peaceful there."
The power that comes from seeking blood blooms. But the king just turned slightly and moved away from the shadow of the knife: "There is no need to say a sneak attack!"
The space lines of void longitude and latitude penetrated Kuzumi Heima's abdomen smoothly, and the shell of the shadow state began to be twisted open by the power of space. The king pulled out some dark purple fragments from Kuzumi Heima's body with a pull.
At this moment, the black wedge silently hit the king's leg.
The king was a little surprised, even if it was just for a moment, he did not realize that Wei was approaching. He lowered his head slightly and understood why - the purple knife shadow formed a mirror-like curtain wall at the rear and below. Since the traces can be identified when looking for blood, the traces can also be concealed to a certain extent. Under this cover, Lu Ning below threw out the black wedge he formed with his short knife.
"Ahem, all three of them... must use all their strength..." Kuzumi Heizhen grinned and let out a miserable laugh, "In exchange for this blow... the last blow."
"The last blow? How lethal do you think the weapon condensed from the outer shell of the mind can be to me?" The king didn't care, "I can only say that this is the last blow you dealt to me... eh?"
His brows furrowed, his neck tilted to the side unnaturally, and a strange sense of loss of control appeared on the king. He didn't panic. He reached out and touched his neck first. A very hard object was trying to get out from there.
"What--"
The surrounding light slowly faded, and only a slightly bright path appeared in front of the king.
"You may not have any memory of this." Lu Ning removed his invisibility next to the king, "Just a reminder, this is the treasure of another of your ministers."
"I-" The thing on the king's neck was moving out more violently, and at the same time, his movements became more and more uncontrollable.
"The body you are using belongs to Zhu Qinyuan. What you don't know is that before coming here, Zhu Qinyuan received a mission from the Dark Sage... Mr. Mian." Lu Ning said calmly, "Even if Being replaced by your memory, this mission has not changed, but it lacks a correct triggering opportunity. And Yan Rong noticed that the soul in your body is still Zhu Qinyuan, and memory and soul are not the same thing."
"Treasure...what treasure?"
At this time, at the end of the light, the figure of the Dark Sage appeared again.
"I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to trigger this dark secret order. Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long, long time."
"Butler? You——"
"Your Majesty the King, the delivery of the Dark Secret Order must be carried out by myself. No matter how much Zhu Qinyuan's own memory is left, please... return my companions first!" Lu Ning suddenly raised his voice and raised his fingers. , the ink color wrapped on the surface of the wedge suddenly dispersed, and behind the king, the color of the soul was dyed.
Zhu Qinyuan's soul stretched out a finger behind the king and touched the black stone that was being drilled out of the king's body. After receiving this response, the black stone finally drilled out and was touched by Zhu Qinyuan. Hold it in your hand.
"It's a really complicated situation... But Your Majesty, please tell me, where should I go, veteran? Where will you lead us? I have been waiting for too long, and after all, I have not waited for the answer you gave us." Dark Sage The one who set foot on the path of light.
"Not at this time..." The king could only open his mouth to speak now. Zhu Qinyuan, who had regained some control of her body due to the activation of the dark secret order, was using her own hands to pull out her hand that had turned into a pointer shape. knife.
The soul echoed from Zhu Qinyuan's body, and the certificate on his chest seemed to respond to the fused soul and emitted the blue light of time at a glance, smearing to the pointer.
"Sorry, Zhu Qinyuan, we thought about whether we could save you, but... I'm afraid we can't."
Zhu Qinyuan just cast a cold look at Lu Ning. He didn't blame him, but he didn't forgive him either.
The shining sword slash seemed to break through the surrounding darkness. The king groaned, and his body was instantly cut into more than a dozen pieces by time, but no blood flowed out. Every section was filled with the power of time, maintaining the vitality.
"Your Majesty... you still refuse to answer? Do you have to go to the other side before you are willing to tell me what you think?" The Dark Sage took a few more steps, "You must be fine, right?"
"It's a pity... Controller." The king began to fall, falling towards the broken space. "I went to a very far place, both in time and space, so far that I may never come back."
"His Majesty?"
"I didn't give you any orders, because that's the only selfishness I have left. I hope my old friends will live according to their choices, not what I arranged. Ask yourself about your wishes. The road ahead is long and uninhabited. look back."
He fell into that space.
