After one night, the Ice Blue City fell into silence, as if all sounds had disappeared, the streets were empty, and even the bells that usually delivered fresh milk and morning newspapers were gone.
It seems that the weather has also been affected. The sky is gray and there is no sunshine, which makes people feel extremely depressed.
Until ten o'clock in the morning, a bell broke the silence. The melodious bells came from the castle made of ice and jade, passing through the white stone pavement, the towering brick walls, and the red roofs, echoing over the city.
A hearse covered with black cloth and surrounded by white chrysanthemums slowly drove out of the imperial city.
There were ten knights on both sides of the hearse. They were both men and women. They were all tall horses, clad in silver armor and with red feathers on their helmets.
The ten servants of the king, the guards of the throne of Ice Blue City.
Behind the hearse followed a group of princes and nobles, all wearing white flowers on their chests and looking sad.
On both sides of the King's Road stood straight lines with bright bayonets.
On the left, he wears red clothes, white trousers, gold epaulettes and silver buttons, looking luxurious and majestic. The ones on the right are all in black combat uniforms, as calm as water, and filled with a chilling air.
The ones in red are the Imperial City Guards, and the ones in black are the Dragon Scale Guards. They are the two most powerful troops in Ambergris River. They are well-equipped and have strong combat power. They are all selected by the elites in the army. The overall strength of the two troops is comparable to that of a king.
The hearse moved forward slowly, passed the King's Road, and entered the main road of Ice Blue City.
On both sides of the road stood many nobles and commoners who came spontaneously, with solemn expressions, and paid attention to the hearse.
When the hearse passed by, some people couldn't help crying, or took out a handkerchief to wipe their tears.
Many people came spontaneously to see the kind old king off. Malan 22nd reigned for eighty-seven years. Although he did not make any great achievements that could be shown off like previous monarchs, he brought eighty-seven years of tranquility and peace.
People live and work in peace and contentment, and the country recovers and recuperates.
He may be a little mediocre, but he is still a good king.
At the same time, all cities in the United Kingdom of Ambergris sounded the death knell and hung black banners symbolizing mourning.
The death knell is tolling, and the whole country is in mourning.
However, compared with the sad farewell scene, the scene in the candlelight hall at this moment was completely different.
Several female officers were half-kneeling under the high platform. They were all beauties with hot bodies and charming faces. At this moment, their faces were all extremely flushed, showing their extreme excitement.
The leader stood up and said to the hazy and graceful figure in the mist: "Congratulations to the Queen, our great cause can finally be realized."
"Hehehe..."
High-pitched laughter came from the mist.
Unbridled, enchanting, frivolous and comfortable.
The death of the old king is sad and sad for some people, but it is joyful and joyful for others.
After twenty years of waiting, it’s finally time to pick the fruits.
The laughter lasted for several minutes, full of flattery, wantonness, and arrogance.
After the laughter, there was silence for a few seconds, and the voice in the fog sounded again, becoming gentle and calm, "This is just the beginning, there are still a few months to go before the real victory, please don't be careless."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!"
As the third prince's concubine, Cuilis was supposed to attend the funeral, but due to her nature, she was unwilling to see off her political opponents even if it was a lie.
At the same time, in the corner of the Red Castle of Monitor Lizard City, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes and a strong build was half-kneeling on the ground, facing the direction of Ice Blue City, with tears streaming down his face. He was the Red Dragon Grand Duke Salod Maris. At this moment, he only felt guilty and self-blame for the kind old king.
However, the work is done. When the sorrow is over, wipe away the tears and do what you have to do. This is the consciousness of being the leader of a country.
In the center of the Red Castle, in the hall filled with candlelight, a graceful figure leans softly on the armrest, and her exquisite curves make people daydream.
"Do you think I should shed a few tears?"
The lazy voice came out from between the thin lips, with a soft nasal sound, which was so confusing and intoxicating that it made people's bones go weak.
"I believe that there is no need to do it for an unrelated person." A woman with a more mature and elegant figure standing on the left side of the throne said.
"After all, that old guy is also my cheap grandfather." said the girl on the throne.
"As the saying goes, the dead are the most important, and necessary etiquette should be observed." Standing on the right side of the throne, a plump and fit woman said.
"Insolent, Your Highness is rich in wealth, how can you shed tears for an old man casually!" "Since you acknowledge your surname, you should bear the corresponding responsibilities. This is the only way.
Only then can we win over the people and make our reputation right. "
Like sparks falling into diesel fuel, the two women on the left and right are at war with each other, tit for tat.
"Okay, you two dears, stop arguing." The girl on the throne waved her hand to stop her, "In this matter, I think Bai Liu is right. Since I am the fifth princess of the Malan royal family, and my grandfather passed away, I should have something to do. express."
"But..." The girl on the throne hesitated, "What should I do if I can't cry?"
"And I want to laugh..."
"Hahaha, you old immortal finally gave up your seat to me!"
"If you really can't cry, you can use some eye drops." "You can also apply some ginger juice, and the tears will come out immediately." The two women on the left and right suggested.
"You seem to be very skilled..." The girl on the throne made a tut-tsk sound.
The two women seemed to have been exposed, their faces turned red, and they looked away at the same time.
While the three women in the hall were discussing how to cheat, in the storage room of the underground ant nest in Orchid Town, Chen Xing was standing in front of the huge mirror with his arms around Su Na.
The scene in the mirror at this moment was completely different from the two people outside.
Chen Xing outside the mirror is more than half a head taller than Su Na, holding his delicate body,
Put your arms through the other person's armpits, and place your palms naturally on the full part. The petite head turned slightly and nestled in his arms.
But inside the mirror was a different scene. A tall and beautiful woman was supporting the bony arm of "Living Corpse Chen Xing". The beauty was more than half a head taller than him, and she didn't give in to Ye Yang Bailiu who was over 1.8 meters tall.
Although the clothes she wore were equally old and worn out, and were obviously smaller, as if an adult were wearing children's clothes and were torn, her figure and appearance were completely different from the corpse-like Chen Xing.
First of all, he is a healthy, living person with white and rosy skin, crystal clear and translucent, as if he could squeeze out water.
Next is a mature beauty with a beautiful figure, big breasts and a waist, big where it should be, and small where it should be. Her face is even more charming, and her eyebrows are full of charm. She looks like a royal sister.
Although her figure and temperament are different, her appearance is very similar to Su Na's, and her bright green eyes are exactly the same, as if Su Na's face has been enlarged by 30%.
"Brother, who is the person in the mirror?" Su Na asked curiously. The living dead were her food, so she was not afraid. The big sister looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
Suna was in an anthill, had rarely looked in the mirror, and had no idea what she looked like.
"Perhaps..." Chen Xing sighed, "This is who we will be many years from now."
His voice was a little lonely. Just now, he first asked Suna in the queen ant form to look in the mirror. Inside was a larger queen ant with lavender light emitting from the carapace.
If he guessed correctly, the Mirror of Conservation reflected the future.
Thousands of years later, he became a rotting corpse, while Suna was just an adult.
Compared with mutant creatures, human life is pitifully short.
"Why, why is this happening?" As if she thought of something, Su Na's expression became a little nervous and she hugged Chen Xing hard.
At this time, Sister Da Yu in the mirror also looked nervous. She accidentally used too much force and with a snap, the entire arm of "Living Corpse Chen Xing" was removed.
Gradually, Su Na understood the scene in the mirror. The eldest sister was her in the future, and the living corpse she used to eat was her dearest brother.
There was a mist in her big bright green eyes, but she still wanted to confirm again, pointing at the living corpse in the mirror, "Brother, um, is that you?"
"Well..." Chen Xing nodded, looking a little sad. No matter who you are, whether you are a king or a beggar, in the end you are still a body of bones and a cup of loess.
Seeing his lonely look, Suna's tears fell down.
"Su Na, be good, don't cry..." Chen Xing wiped Su Na's warm tears and comforted, "People will always die, sooner or later. This is the law of nature, there is no need to be sad."
Suna cried even harder, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, I don't want my brother to die, I don't want it!"
Chen Xing suddenly felt something in his heart, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, this "movement" is not a moving movement, but a crooked movement.
"Suna, what would you do if your brother died?" Chen Xing asked.
"Oh oh oh, brother won't die!"
"I mean hypothetically, hypothetically, what would you do if I died?"
"I, I don't know..." Su Na looked dumbfounded.
"Will you find another brother?" Chen Xing asked in a guiding manner.
"No, Su Na only has one brother in her heart!" Su Na shook her head desperately, "Even if her brother dies, Su Na will not look for another brother." Her expression was serious and firm, with a smile on her face. With tears, innocent and cute.
"Then what will you do if your brother dies and you are the only one left?" Chen Xing continued to ask. For men, this question is important.
"I, I..." Su Na tilted her little head and thought for a while, then said, "I will guard my brother, always."
"What if my body rots?" Chen Xing continued to hypothesize.
"I still keep watch and hold my brother to sleep every day." Su Na said innocently.
"Then what would you do if there were only a pile of bones left, and then the bones were gone, and everything was gone?" Chen Xing broke the casserole and asked the question. In the end, there was not even a scum left. What would she do?
"I, I, I..." This question seemed to stump the innocent girl. She held it in for a long time and said with firm eyes and clenched fists, "I will eat my brother and then commit suicide."
"Well, Su Na is so good!" Chen Xing rubbed the girl's soft hair with satisfaction. For a man, this is the perfect answer.
Although he was born in a new era, he is still very feudal deep down in his heart. Even if he dies, he does not want his woman to be accused of adultery.
Become a widow first, after all, men can no longer do it after a certain age, then guard the tomb, and finally die in love, it couldn't be more perfect.
I was in a happy mood and had a shot on the spot, which was so refreshing.
Especially when looking in the mirror and watching the living corpse inside destroying Sister Dayu, it is a double pleasure.
After finishing the work, Chen Xing asked the goblins and termite workers to work together to cover the mirror with a thick canvas.
"No one is allowed to come near without my order."
"Okay, brother."
This is a secret treasure that must be hidden in the most reliable place. Ant nests are undoubtedly the safest. Unless they are king-level experts, no one dares to easily enter the nest of a hundred ant queens.
However, he did not intend to use the mirror too much, but sealed it away. The wizards of the demon world warned future generations that excessive use of the power of mirrors will lead to the destruction of the world.
He does not have a high level of consciousness, but the basic principle of life is "not to take the initiative to harm people who have no interests at all."
If the world is destroyed because of him, not to mention those who are closely related to him, even if he has no relationship, he will feel guilty, because this is the most basic morality of being a human being.
He warned himself that unless
It is necessary, otherwise the power of the Mirror of Conservation will not be easily used.
He had a hypothesis in mind.
The self in the mirror is the self thousands of years later. Replacement means exchanging the present things for the future things.
Assume that the SCAR in his hand is really the product of the future of this world.
Then if he uses it for research and production, it will change the future.
According to the theory of void mysticism, once time and space change, there will be an invisible force to correct it.
The two sides are directly proportional. The greater the degree of change, the greater the power of correction.
When the power of space and time exceeds the endurance limit of this world, the world will collapse.
He must use it with extreme caution for his own sake and those around him. Exercise self-control and stay away from inner demons.
After sealing the mirror, Chen Xing returned to the mansion.
At this time, the windows of the mansion were not hung with black cloth to represent mourning like other edge towns, and there was no memorial ceremony with white candles lit.
The funeral of Malan XXII did not affect his daily life. In his opinion, they were neither relatives nor friends, they had not even met, and there was no obligation to mourn.
Although the old king has passed away, there are still several months before the real turmoil. Next, the third prince Ryan Malan, the miserable gay man, will ascend the throne and become the new king of Ice Blue City. Then Cuilisi got involved in politics behind the scenes, eliminated dissenters, and gradually took over the government. Finally, she killed the king and her husband, and ascended the throne as the Queen of Ice Blue City. The whole country was outraged, and then uprising everywhere began, and the era of the Blood Queen began.
The time is three years earlier than in the previous life. In the memory of his previous life, he had no impression of the fourth prince Qiao An.
Perhaps he was killed by the eldest prince during those three years, or perhaps he had been dormant until he was beaten to death by the great demon and had not yet surfaced.
No matter what the real situation is, because of his presence, the butterfly's wings vibrate slightly, and the world is turned upside down.
Just as he was thinking about what to do during the next few months, Lin Shiyuan suddenly paid a visit and suggested that Chen Xing learn from other edge towns to mourn the monarch.
"Does it make sense?" Chen Xing disagreed.
"Lord, we are nominally subjects of the kingdom. When the king dies, there is still a need to show off. If we remain indifferent, it is likely that we will be used as a black point for criticism by future political opponents." Lin Shiyuan persuaded. Since joining Chen Xing's camp, he began to call Chen Xing "Lord".
This is the name of the people in the Eastern Continent. In the Red Country, most people call them "Master" and "Lord".
Seeing that his master had no reaction, Lin Shiyuan added, "I just received news that even the Demon Princess attended the memorial service in Dragon City and even shed a few tears."
"Real or false..." Chen Xing couldn't believe that the devil woman could actually shed tears. This was too bloody!
"It's absolutely true!" Lin Shiyuan took out a piece of paper, "I just happened to write a little poem. I'll find someone to write it on with black cloth and white paint and hang it at the gate of the town. It will show that we are more sincere."
Chen Xing took it over and looked at it, and found that the writing was pretty good.
Malan flowers bloom in the underworld, and Yamas come to visit them everywhere;
After drinking this bowl of Meng Po soup, I will fight against Fengyun Lu again in the next life.
"It's very heroic to be heroic, but the state religion of our Red Country is the Holy Light Church. People pay attention to going to heaven. It doesn't seem appropriate to go to hell, right?" Chen Xing asked doubtfully.
"Ma Lan 22 believed in the New Zen Buddhism in his later years, but not many people in the country knew it, but the aristocratic circle in Ice Blue City knew it." Lin Shiyuan explained.
"Okay, you go and take care of it." "Thank you, Lord!"
In the next few days, under Lin Shiyuan's responsibility, the memorial service in Orchid Town was successfully held.
Indeed, as Lin Shiyuan said, although he is not related to the old king, after all, he is a subject of the kingdom, and the king is like his father. If he does nothing, Mayor Anbisi and Mayor Bert may not say anything, but The old-school aristocrats like Mayor Prader will definitely be dissatisfied.
If you meet someone with ulterior motives, you will become one of the black spots.
Be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and still do what needs to be done to avoid causing criticism.
"Didi!"
While attending the expulsion meeting, Chen Xing's black watch suddenly rang.
With Akita's help, a small satellite signal receiving station has been built and he has applied for access permission to the scientific observatory. There is already a weak satellite signal in a small area of the town, but not everyone can connect. Only a few fixed terminals can connect, and the signal is intermittent and sometimes does not work.
But it's already very good. Compared with the lack of information before, it's a huge difference.
[A new world fragment was discovered in the Green Continent, numbered 10067553, temporarily named "Spirit World No. 39"]
[Safety level: high risk, unstable space entrance, random transmission]
[Development nature: free exploration]
[Exploration advantages: The probability of unearthing fake artifacts and undercurrent fragments is higher]
Green Continent is one of the six continents in the world, a land blessed by the legendary forest goddess.
Plants are unusually tall due to the effects of radiation variation. Vegetation covers a wide area and mutated organisms are rampant. Because the population is sparse and the degree of development is low, anyone who goes to open up wasteland, regardless of nationality, can get the land canonized by the Human Survival Committee, so it is also called the "New World" by the mercenaries.
The world of gods is a relatively advanced world fragment, and number 39 represents the thirty-eight similar world fragments that have been discovered previously.
The danger is high and the space is unstable. No plane development company is willing to undertake it, so everyone can explore freely without paying the 35% tax on harvest.
In order to make money, Chen Xing asked Sora to pay attention to exploring world fragments with higher value, which led to the current scene.
"Didi!"
The black watch beeped again, and an email popped up.
The sender clearly said - Zhao Ruoxi.
