The planet of the Beja people was attacked by interstellar pirates and they were forced to migrate to the main planet of Karen. This would definitely have been a hot topic in the Kingdom of Karen.
However, when the news of the queen's death spread, there was no topic in the entire Karen Kingdom that could compare with this news.
Although this generation of Queen Karen is a dictator with supreme power, there have been no major problems with the governance of the entire Karen Kingdom for hundreds of years. On the contrary, some of the decrees she implemented covered people's livelihood, military Many aspects.
After most policies are implemented, they will be proven to be beneficial to all citizens.
The people of the Karen Kingdom may still have all kinds of troubles in their daily lives, but the overall living environment is peaceful, peaceful and quite prosperous, which can be said to be relatively rare in the entire interstellar society. grand occasion.
Because of this, even if they respect the Queen verbally in daily life, it can only be regarded as a habit, and may not really be sincere.
When the news of the Queen's death came out, they basically felt a sincere feeling of melancholy and sincerely mourned for Her Majesty the Queen.
On many planets under the rule of the Karen Kingdom, there have been many spontaneous activities to mourn and bid farewell to Her Majesty the Queen.
At this time, the mourning atmosphere on Karen Prime is obviously the most solemn, but in this heavy and sad atmosphere, there are inevitably some things that make people want to frown.
"When Her Majesty the Queen passed away, it was not yet determined who would inherit the throne?"
"We have repeatedly asked all the ladies of the palace who were present that day. In the last few words of Her Majesty the Queen, whenever she mentioned the Duke and the Princess, they were mentioned side by side. There was no bias at all."
"Princess Coryris is the first heir to the kingdom. Since Her Majesty the Queen has not explicitly chosen a prince, it stands to reason that the princess should succeed to the throne."
"I have a different view. Since the Queen's last words put the Princess and Duke Attila together, it is obvious that the Princess does not take precedence over the Duke."
"Does Her Majesty the Queen mean to change the system? To change the situation where there is only one supreme leader?"
"Presumptuous, what are you talking about? The ancestral system of the Karen Kingdom has proven its superiority in interstellar society more than once. How can it be easily reformed?"
"The kings of the past generations can connect with the source of Karen. When necessary, they can borrow the wisdom of all the sages of the past and negotiate together. If you want to change the system, how can you be smarter than that large group of ancestors?"
The minister's words resonated with the vast majority of people.
"A single linker can use all the effectiveness of the source of Karen to observe the situation of the entire interstellar era and provide us with the best guidance."
"But if there are two or even more linkers at the same time, this ability will inevitably be diluted, and the wisest decision-making can no longer be guaranteed, and internal conflicts may even occur."
The source of Karen refers to a unique spring on the main planet of the Kingdom of Karen.
This spring is said to go straight to the deepest part of the main star. What flows in it is not water, but the richest life energy. The ancient Karen people called this liquid that exudes mysterious brilliance "Mana". ".
In the ancient legends of the Karen civilization, even a drop of "mana" extracted from the source of Karen, after being diluted 100,000 times, is still a magical potion that can regenerate broken limbs and heal the natural world. Any damage caused by poisonous weeds and poisonous insects.
The civilization on this planet once developed various techniques called "witchcraft" around the source of Karen.
Later, due to the rise of science and technology and exchanges with civilizations on other planets, Karen witchcraft was classified as a part of biotechnology, and countless fantastic ideas burst out, making this culture more prosperous.
The attitude of the Karen people toward the source of Karen has also changed from simply worshiping, requesting, and using it, to a virtuous cycle of borrowing, repaying, and continuously feeding back.
The current source of Karen is far more powerful than the source of Karen in ancient civilizations. What it contains is no longer just pure life energy, but is mixed with extremely rich spiritual energy and intelligent information.
Every once in a while, a large amount of artificial intelligence, with the latest information technology mastered by the Karen Kingdom, is implanted into the source of Karen, becoming a new type of "sacrifice".
With these basic frameworks of electronic intelligence, the heroes, scholars, and kings who have emerged in the past dynasties of the Karen civilization have the opportunity to sleep in the source of Karen in a magical manner, relying on the carrier of electronic intelligence after their death. middle.
When the new King of Karen is in need, he can integrate this intelligent information, sage spirit, and life energy, and briefly enter a "god-like" state to guide the way forward for the entire Kingdom of Karen.
However, if there is no new king on the throne, no one can effectively awaken the power in the Source of Karen, and the sleeping spirit in the Source of Karen cannot awaken on its own.
Seeing that these ministers who had their own thoughts were about to quarrel, Duke Attila finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He angrily scolded the ministers, thinking that just after the death of Her Majesty the Queen, these ministers had already begun to focus on the distribution of power. Such moral character was really not worthy of being a role model for the people of the kingdom, and was not worthy of being the leadership of the kingdom.
The eldest princess also showed a rare toughness, saying that for at least a month, she would not want to hear anything about the struggle for power other than mourning her mother.
The pure filial piety of the two heirs of the kingdom aroused the shame of the ministers. They cried and expressed their sorrow, and declared that all their actions were to uphold the Queen's style during her lifetime and had no other thoughts.
Patriarch Beya also attended the Queen's memorial ceremony and did not speak during the whole process. However, at the end, when the ministers reviewed the Queen's achievements during her lifetime with great emotion, Patriarch Beja could not help but shed tears of emotion.
When he returned to his temporary residence in the royal city, he said to Dr. Xiang Yang, "I think it's not easy to talk about our tribe's affairs these days."
"Don't mention it for at least a month. Otherwise, it may leave a bad impression on the new King."
Dr. Xiang Yang thought for a while and agreed with his view, but said worriedly: "The clan members are all in a deep sleep state and are sealed in the warehouse of the pirate warship. For a month, there is no need to worry about what will happen to their bodies. question."
"But Mr. Luoyang has left, and the two of us are now living in the royal city again. The pirate warship is parked in the port without anyone looking after it, which still makes people feel uneasy."
"What if, what if something unexpected happens?"
The space port of the Karen Kingdom has an excellent reputation, but when it involves the safety of all tribesmen, no matter how good the reputation is, it is very fragile.
Patriarch Beya thought carefully for a while and said: "The ladies who picked us up before are Her Majesty's female officers. They may not be able to decide the relocation of all of us, but we should let them take care of the battleship. It’s not difficult.”
"I'll go look for them during the day tomorrow."
Dr. Xiang Yang had no other choice but to do this.
The two of them tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, a palace guard came to them.
The blond young man is wearing silver engraved armor and a sky blue tie. The accessories on his ears are like silver wings. Just meeting him once is enough to leave a deep impression.
Patriarch Beya had seen this handsome palace guard before. He seemed to be the captain of the guard beside Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Her Royal Highness, she was overly sad in the afternoon and went to bed very early. When she woke up, she asked me about Chief Beya."
The palace guard said politely, "Her Majesty the Queen's last words have stated that Beiya's compatriots must be properly accommodated. The princess has sent another team of people to the port to greet those compatriots. Let me invite the clan leader to see Beiya. Are you satisfied with the temporary accommodation prepared by your compatriots?"
Patriarch Beya was surprised and happy. He did not expect that the eldest princess could take care of these things despite her busy schedule and sadness.
He and Dr. Xiang Yang looked at each other, and the palace guard spoke at the right time and invited Dr. Xiang Yang over.
They took the spaceship, crossed the vast cities and plains, and entered the depths of the mountains north of King Karen City.
When they got off the spacecraft and stepped on a platform halfway up the mountain, Dr. Xiang Yang first showed a confused expression.
In this mountain range, there are huge totem poles standing everywhere, and some of them are even as high as the peaks.
The gray-white pillar bodies and exquisite withered patterns make forests, grasslands and waterfalls become the background of these totem poles.
With Dr. Xiangyang's eyesight, he can certainly see that those seemingly primitive totem poles are actually the latest technological products of the Karen Kingdom. They can build a very powerful warning and defense system and also have large-scale storage. Efficacy of energy.
"this place……"
Dr. Xiangyang was knowledgeable and immediately thought, "Is it near the source of Karen?"
The palace guard smiled and said: "Yes, the source of Karen is located in this mountain range. As long as you go forward and pass through three defense arrays, you can see the holy mountain that simulates the ancient legend. temple."
"Inside the temple, there are statues of sages and heroes who are qualified to let their spirits sleep in the source of Karen. In the center of the temple is the spring of the source of Karen."
Chief Beya asked in confusion: "Did the eldest princess allow our people to live here temporarily? Isn't this not good?"
The chief of the palace guard just smiled and led the two of them forward. After climbing over a mountain, they saw a huge warehouse at the foot of the mountain in front of them.
Dr. Xiangyang recognized that it was the warehouse inside the pirate warship used to seal the Beya tribe.
All the tribesmen on Beya are sleeping in that huge warehouse.
Patriarch Beya and Dr. Xiangyang had more doubts.
At this time, another voice came from behind them, and Duke Attila also arrived here led by several palace ladies.
"It seems that I'm not the only one the princess has made an appointment with here."
Duke Attila's face looked a little dark, and there was a white bandage on his forehead.
When Patriarch Beya met him a few hours ago, he seemed to be fine. He didn't know what happened or the extent of the injury that required a bandage on his head.
With Karen Wang's medical technology, ordinary injuries can be healed quickly without leaving scars, but there is absolutely no need for the highest-standard medical supplies such as the new Mana bandage.
Patriarch Beya's face became a little nervous and he looked around.
Several invitations from the eldest princess made the atmosphere in this place feel a little strange, and even made Patriarch Beya smell a dangerous atmosphere.
But he couldn't figure it out. The remaining population and technology of the Beiya clan were just an insignificant force under the rule of the Karen Kingdom.
The reputation is greater than that of ordinary people, but it does not have that actual influence.
No matter what happens between the eldest princess and Duke Attila, there seems to be no need to involve the Beja family, right?
Dr. Xiang Yang was also very nervous. He had subconsciously bent the knuckles of his right hand and bit it lightly with his teeth to relieve the pressure.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Does the eldest princess also believe in that nonsense about the secret medical treasure?"
Because he was too nervous, Dr. Xiang Yang said this when he thought of it in his mind.
Duke Attila glanced at Dr. Xiangyang, then at the palace guards, and sneered a few times.
"It seems that my good sister knows more than I expected, but you people really know nothing."
Duke Attila seemed to have given up the idea of continuing to hide it. The sadness and depression that had appeared due to the queen's death had now disappeared. He stood tall and took two steps calmly and calmly.
The few palace guards who were standing in front of him were obviously hostile to him, but they subconsciously moved out of the way, not daring to hinder his steps at all.
"The curse created by the soul-eating fungus civilization at a huge cost wiped out the frontline troops of the Karen Kingdom in one fell swoop. Even your powerful ancestors had no way to suppress it. They could only allow the curse to worsen and spread to the entire clan."
Duke Attila stood next to a totem pole, looking at the warehouse full of Beja people in front of him.
"Haven't you ever wondered why, after all your ancestors died, and when your tribe became weaker and weaker with every generation, the curse deeply embedded in your blood and souls did not continue to worsen?"
Dr. Xiang Yang and Patriarch Beya have never thought about this problem.
Isn't it because the curse has been weakened in the process of being passed down from generation to generation and has lost the ability to continue to worsen?
wrong!
Dr. Xiang Yang vaguely recalled that he seemed to have heard Guan Luoyang say that the curse in their race had a sense of slow growth, and even became more complex and sophisticated than when the curse was first imposed.
The curse is obviously growing, but the damage suffered by the Beja people has not worsened. This is indeed a problem.
"It seems you have thought of something."
Duke Attila looked back at Dr. Xiangyang, "The answer is actually very simple, because it was not just the frontline troops and you Beja people who bore this curse."
"These curses seem to exist in different organisms, but they have a profound connection with each other. They can be regarded as a whole. What exists in your body are just small tentacles emanating from this curse, and the real ones are The 'heart' part is contained and suppressed by the source of Karen."
"Because with the change of thrones and the advancement of technology, the source of Karen is constantly getting stronger, and the speed of getting stronger is faster than the curse, so one day, the source of Karen can wipe out the core of the curse. "
"But the problem is, if things continue to develop normally, whether I or the princess ascends the throne, we may not be able to see the day when the curse is worn away during our tenure. In other words, we cannot really use all the power of the source of Karen. , to do something.”
Thumb thump!
Patriarch Beya took several steps back in panic, and Dr. Xiang Yang also turned pale.
When the truth was revealed, the palace guards around them seemed to be watching them with a dark peripheral vision.
Those handsome faces and armor as gorgeous as the morning sun seemed to be cast in a deep shadow when they glanced sideways. They were still tall and tough, but also harsh and dark.
"You have already had a premonition."
Duke Attila smiled softly, "Actually, it's not difficult to solve this problem."
"As long as I sacrifice you Beja people when I inherit the throne and perform the linking ceremony of the Source of Karen, the core of the curse can be absorbed from the Source of Karen."
"I can even take advantage of the restlessness of the curse core to completely turn the entire source of Karen into my own power!"
What Duke Attila said next made the palace guards look shocked one after another.
"So I spread rumors about Beja's secret treasure, and while the situation was slightly chaotic, I used a secret identity to contact the Black Flag Alliance and asked them to capture the Beja people for me."
"When the time comes that the entire Beja family disappears, no one will know their whereabouts. Not even the Black Flag Alliance will know my true purpose."
"The kings of Karen in the past generations were technically able to possess immortal life, but they were unable to live forever because they borrowed the power of the source of Karen. This fate will be broken in my hands."
"At that time, the Karen Kingdom will usher in an eternal king!"
Duke Attila's words were still plain, except for the last sentence, which was slightly accented.
Dr. Xiang Yang and Patriarch Beya have been bombarded by this series of news and are a little overwhelmed. They are so angry that their brains are a little blank and their expressions are dull.
Instead, all the surrounding palace guards quickly reached for their own weapons. The staffs on their waists that combined the power of witchcraft and technology also had the authority to mobilize part of the planet's defense system.
Duke Attila even said this about his collusion with the interstellar pirates. I am afraid that he was preparing to die. How could they not be on guard? !
However, Duke Attila was not in a hurry to take action.
"Unfortunately, my original plan was ruined. Before I could figure out how to make up for it, I received an invitation from my sister."
Duke Attila raised his head, "Originally I couldn't figure out her intention, but after feeling your presence, I understood."
"Her plan is probably similar to mine, and because of your presence, she can now invite me here for a showdown without any scruples."
"Haha, my dear disciple, your brother seems to be the kind of person who, although usually worried, dares to show his decisive side once he senses danger."
A figure of a man with black curly hair wearing a white robe appeared in the air, holding a short wooden staff inlaid with blue beads in his hand.
The eldest princess of the Karen Kingdom also appeared beside him.
"Introduce yourself. I am a magician. You can call me Hydra."
The man said, "Currently... I will serve as the logistics minister of the first core."
Calculated by the interstellar calendar, it is now less than twenty-four hours from the death of Queen Karen.
