There was some silence in the deep and dark palace for a while.
Then the younger brother's laughter rang out: "Then Xiao Qi still has a heart."
"Don't you want to know what he said to me?" the elder brother said, looking at his younger brother.
"How can I, as an uncle, be qualified to listen to the personal talk between father and son?" the younger brother said with a smile.
"He asked me about the child." My brother said calmly.
The younger brother raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
"Yeah, his memory is better than I thought." My brother continued.
"So what did the elder brother say?" the younger brother asked.
He finally couldn't help but said curiously.
"Since he asked, then I will tell him everything I know." My brother said calmly: "It has been more than ten years anyway. Even if he knows all this, what can he save?"
"Everything that happened will never change."
"Is this the reason why he chose to leave?" The younger brother looked at his older brother and asked.
"He was very disappointed." The elder brother did not directly answer the younger brother's words, but continued on his own: "I originally thought he would be very angry, but he was not."
"He was just disappointed."
"Then bid me farewell."
"I don't think so. Men of our clan are born to conquer the world, so it's not a bad thing to go out while you're young."
"Besides, he is still the man destined to sit on the Throne of Thorns."
"Yes, he is Sequence One." The younger brother nodded in agreement.
"But he told me that he was not interested in that position at all." My brother said with a smile.
"No one can imagine how magical this position is until they actually sit in it." The younger brother said softly.
"What about you?" The elder brother looked at his younger brother and said.
The younger brother shook his head and looked at his elder brother: "In the past thirty years, we have been best friends, sharing the power on this throne. Everything you can give me has been given to me. Is there anything else I am not satisfied with?" Woolen cloth?"
The elder brother lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head to look at himself, his closest relative from the same mother.
"Then how long ago did you start poisoning me?" He said softly, as if he said something insignificant.
He even said there was no anger in his tone, just slight curiosity.
The younger brother looked at his older brother calmly and said nothing.
"I'm just curious." My brother said softly, without doing anything out of the ordinary.
"I once thought about how you would react if you knew about this matter." The younger brother looked at his elder brother and said calmly: "But my elder brother's reaction was beyond all my expectations."
"How should I react? Stand up angrily and fight with you, destroy half of the palace, and then be called the dead mad king and be buried in the family cemetery?" My brother said with a soft smile.
"If my brother had this reaction, I would be very happy, at least happier than I am now." The younger brother looked at his older brother and said, with tears already appearing on his face.
"The feeling of killing your own brother is not very pleasant." The elder brother said lightly.
"It's more uncomfortable than killing yourself." The younger brother said, "But older brother should understand that there are some dark roads. Once you take the first step, you can never look back."
"So when did this all start?" the brother asked.
"Eleven years ago." The younger brother said a time.
"What an interesting time." My brother couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, since the first month after our ancestor died." said the younger brother.
"Our ancestors have made us forget that in fact, our clan has always grown up by killing each other. Sons kill their fathers, and ministers kill their kings. We gain strength from the endless blood, and then bring terror to the world." Brother Youyou said: "Do you still remember that the night my ancestor passed away, she once called me to her bed and told me some things."
"For example?" said the younger brother.
"For example, she asked me if I could be like the Prime Emperor." My brother said.
The younger brother looked at his older brother and said nothing.
The original emperor was the founder of the Stur Empire and the supreme king who shrouded the entire world in the shadow of this empire.
After his father, who was the leader of the clan, died unexpectedly, the entire clan fell into chaos. He chose to stand up and use the most iron-blooded means to quell all the turmoil. The price was that he executed all his brothers and elders, making everything against his status Threatening entities sleep forever in their tombs.
"How did the elder brother answer?" the younger brother said.
"What I have done in the past eleven years is my answer." said the elder brother. "I used to think I made it."
Over the past eleven years, this elder brother has given his most trusted younger brother extremely close power to him, hoping to suppress all opposing voices and forces through brotherly governance.
But he never imagined that the people he trusted the most were his most dangerous enemies.
"I'm sorry." The younger brother said sincerely.
He is really sorry.
"But I don't think what I did was wrong," he continued.
"So I sit here and talk to you calmly now." My brother said.
"Then when did you know about it, brother?" the younger brother asked.
"Xiao Qi came to see me that day and told me the same thing." Brother continued.
"Xiao Qi is really smart." The younger brother admired sincerely.
"And I told him that I actually already knew it, so thank you very much." The elder brother looked at his younger brother and said.
"Then why didn't my brother do anything?" The younger brother sighed: "In fact, even now, my brother still has a chance to make a comeback."
"This involves the second thing my ancestors told me." The elder brother looked at his younger brother and said.
"I even feel that our ancestors are still watching us." The younger brother looked at his older brother and said.
"She has been watching this empire for three hundred years, and only eleven years have passed now." The elder brother said calmly: "My ancestors told me that the Rebellion of the Hundred Kings will never happen again."
The so-called Rebellion of the Hundred Kings happened when the original emperor, the founder of the empire, unexpectedly died during the expedition. Because there was no successor, the originally huge empire suddenly fell into an outright war carnival.
The terror that almost enveloped the entire world was wiped out in that instant, and humans all over the world watched blankly as the conquerors who were originally united under one banner began to kill each other even more cruelly.
As a price, the Sturt Empire lost 70% of its territory, and finally curled up in its original territory and began a long process of licking its wounds.
And the so-called ancestor is the most crucial figure in ending the Hundred Kings Rebellion.
"Brother." The younger brother could only say these two words.
"I can kill you." My brother said softly: "Even now, I am certain that I can kill you."
"But what then?" asked the brother.
"I will try to kill the darkness behind you that controls you again. This is what I originally hoped to face side by side with you."
"You gave me a poison that has no solution. Even I don't know how much time I have left."
"I killed you and then challenged the darkness behind you, and I am too weak to maintain the overall situation. Can I really hand over this empire to a mere fourteen-year-old Xiao Qi?" The elder brother looked at his younger brother: "This is a fatal situation that he himself is not willing to face."
"Brother, your biggest problem is that you are too sober." The younger brother said, "The trapped beast is still fighting."
"But we are not beasts after all." The elder brother looked at his younger brother and said: "The empire must exist and the race must continue. This is the opportunity that the original emperor bought for us at the price of falling dust from heaven. An opportunity that can conquer this world under the sun world of opportunity.”
"I don't know what I can tell you, but when you sit in this position, it's something you have to remember."
The younger brother listened quietly to his elder brother's teachings, and his tears never stopped.
"Why did you choose to tell me this today?" the younger brother asked.
"Because I really don't have much time." My brother said calmly.
"So I want to ask, what are you going to do after I die?"
The younger brother looked at his older brother: "Can these be said here?"
"There are only two of us here, there's nothing we can't say." My brother said calmly.
"Maybe I can tell you one more thing, which is still related to my ancestors." The elder brother looked at his younger brother and continued: "The third thing my ancestors told me back then was to take a good look at Xiao Qi."
"Xiao Qi was only three years old at that time," said the younger brother.
"Yes, Xiao Qi was only three years old at that time. What qualifications does a three-year-old have to attract the attention of our ancestors?" The elder brother looked at his younger brother: "But what happens next just proves that you and I are shallow. Is not it?"
"He suddenly rose up like a comet, and gradually became a being that overshadowed everyone's light. It was even said that a year ago, he overshadowed all his brothers and sisters and became the first in the sequence representing the successor."
"If you give him time, I have no doubt that he can become the second initial emperor."
"So." The younger brother looked at his older brother and said.
"So you have to kill him at all costs." The elder brother looked at his younger brother and said calmly.
The younger brother looked at his older brother and said nothing.
"He is a child valued by our ancestors. He is a Sequence One who has the qualifications to inherit the empire. He has left the empire and is looking for time and opportunities to continue to grow. If you don't kill him, he will come back one day. , and then turn to kill you and take away everything you have." My brother said calmly.
The younger brother laughed: "I even thought you were threatening me, brother."
It's like saying, you can't kill me, if you kill me, my children will avenge me.
"I am indeed threatening you." My brother sighed and said: "When you take my place, you will be the one sitting on the Throne of Thorns. You will represent this empire and our ethnic group. You will lead him to the direction of the throne of thorns." A whole new realm and realm.”
"And I hope you can do better than me."
"You can think of this as a brother's unreserved blessing for his brother."
The younger brother looked up at the ceiling.
"When you die, I will kill all your descendants, including Xiao Qi of course."
"I have hired the most professional group of people to execute this plan, and I have some clues about Xiao Qi's whereabouts. I have sufficient evidence to show that he should be in Ye Ye City now, trying to hide in that academy. middle."
"I will abolish the reforms you have carried out over the years, reorganize the army, promote cooperation with that family, and wait for the prophesied era of great conflict to come."
"As you said, we were born to rule this land. Even if it's three hundred years late, it's still not too late when everything comes to an end."
The elder brother listened quietly, and even if his younger brother said that he would have no descendants, he did not show any emotion at all.
Because it's the right thing to do, and he wouldn't be lenient at all.
It's as if the reason why he is in this situation now is because he didn't listen to what his ancestor said.
"Be wary of them," my brother said. "I never want to believe those guys hiding in the stars."
"So they gave me the chips." The younger brother sighed: "Brother, you don't know how many people want you to die, because you block the way of too many people."
My brother couldn't help but laugh.
"When Xiao Qi left, he said that he would never want to be like me."
"Do you know what he called me when he left?"
"I don't know, maybe it's my father?" the younger brother said.
My brother laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.
"He called me a monster."
…
…
The moonlight that night was as bright and clear as mercury.
The boy with long blond hair stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the tall shadow in the palace.
"I never want to be like you." He looked up and said.
"What kind of person am I?" The shadow looked at him and said indifferently.
"Strong, cold, cruel, and emotionless." The young man said calmly: "I once heard someone say that there are only three kinds of people in this world."
"Men, women, and you."
"The moment you become the imperial power you represent, you lose your qualifications as a human being and become a power machine without emotions. For you, there is no good or evil in this world, only pros and cons."
"That's very well said." Shadow looked at him: "But this is the first time you have said this to me."
"Because I used to have some unrealistic illusions about you. After all, you are my body's well-deserved father." The young man said calmly: "But I soon realized that I was wrong, and I was very wrong."
"So will you come back?" Shadow asked.
"Maybe, maybe not." The young man said, "But whether I come back or not, I will never see you again."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry either." He looked up at the other person.
"Bye now."
He reached out to pull up the long blond hair on his back, and then cut it off with his bare hands.
Gold threads were scattered all over the floor.
The young man himself walked forward without looking back.
"Mr. Monster."
