Great Creator

Chapter 161 Curved Horizon (12)

The wizard's voice was cold: "In the future, you can get rid of this problem of answering without thinking. If the sky is round and the earth is round, wouldn't the places where they meet be wrong?"

After learning a lesson, Wen Ling thought for a while before answering: "The earth is surrounded by the ocean, and the sea bends out to meet the sky."

The wizard asked again: "Without the earth, why doesn't the sea fall down? Why doesn't the round sky fall down and hit the ground?"

Wen Ling was tongue-tied.

The wizard suddenly said, "Look into the distance."

Wen Ling looked into the distance, and only then did he notice that they had flown so high that everything on the ground was blurred and could no longer be seen clearly.

"See that line? The place where the sky meets the earth is called the horizon. Now it is 15,000 meters above the sky, and you should be able to see that this line has a slight curvature."

After hearing what the wizard said, Wen Ling looked at the horizon seriously. Indeed, as the wizard said, this line is slightly curved downward. Could it be that the earth is just curved?

"There are many secrets buried in this world." The wizard said to him, "go explore, you will find many unexpected things, you can continue to develop towards the direction of water, and you can also explore new areas. Whatever you like. My only request is that when you are 25 years old, you should apply to leave the palace and become a teacher, so that the interest in exploring the laws of this world will spread among the human race."

"Then, when you become a qualified teacher, I will come to you again and let you restore the memory of your previous life. Zhu Yao."

They fell down quickly, and Zhu Yao felt dizzy for a while, and his whole body seemed to lose weight, and his chest felt tight and uncomfortable.

"Go to sleep." He heard the wizard say to him, and then he lost consciousness.

When Wen Ling regained consciousness, he had already returned to the palace.

His parents and attendants couldn't find him because they were so anxious. Now, when he suddenly appeared from the palace, Wen Yu was both surprised and relieved, and hurriedly asked for a while. But Yanyi was still leading people to look for her outside and hadn't come back yet, so Wen Yu sent someone to call her.

When Wen Yu asked where Wen Ling went, Wen Ling thought for a while before answering:

"Father, today, the gods took me out."

"What god?" Wen Yu asked in surprise.

"I can't tell... But, Father, there is something I want to ask you—"

"From now on, I don't want to be the heir to the throne, father, I have something I want to pursue. Please let my younger brother succeed."

Wen Yu was stunned for a while, then took a few steps back and sat down on the chair.

A strong sadness rose from his heart. In fact, he had long thought that there might be such a day. Since Wen Ling was more than two years old, he and Yan Yi have been avoiding this result as much as possible. He has been guiding Wen Ling's growth, making him a qualified heir to the throne, but he still can't prevent the thing he fears the most from happening.

Wen Ling is not an ordinary person, he and Yan Yi know each other well.

However, Wen Yu was still struggling, he said:

"What's wrong with you? Your brother is still young, and in terms of talent, he is not as good as you. You have been trained by your mother and me for many years, and now you have become a qualified heir. If you give up, is it fair to us? ? You have abandoned your responsibility, what will Jing Guo do?"

Wen Ling lowered his head and remained silent for a while, before saying, "But father, if you don't let me do what I really want to do, is it fair to me? And I've thought about it. Although my younger brother is young, he will be trained from now on, and even if he does not make great achievements in the future, he can at least be a successful king."

While the father and son were discussing, Yan Yi hurried into the room, rushed over and hugged Wen Ling in her arms.

Wen Ling felt her mother's warmth, but only sighed.

Wen Yu said: "Please persuade your son! He doesn't even want to be an heir!"

When Yan Yi asked about the situation, she was also in a daze like Wen Yu for a while, then she hugged her son and shed tears.

However, even the two parents tried their best to dissuade Wen Ling, but they couldn't change Wen Ling's determination.

His vision has been broadened by the wonderful experience that day, and now, even the throne of Jing country can't keep his heart.

In 234, the old King Jing abdicated, and Wen Yu succeeded him as the new King Jing. Later, Wen Yu's second son, Wen Yuan, was crowned prince. At that time, Wen Yuan was 18 years old.

Among the royal family, there has always been a lot of quarrels. Wen Yuan was originally an ordinary but cautious person like his father, but since he really became the prince, the people around him have become more and more mixed.

For their own purposes, there are always some people who instigate Wen Yuan's ears, telling him that ordinary people may have true brotherhood, but the Wang family definitely does not. Don't take precautions in advance.

Some people even told him that his father originally preferred Wen Ling back then, and even thought that Wen Ling's talent was far superior to Wen Yuan's, and that he was the best at nurturing Wen Ling, but he was very mediocre with Wen Yuan. Even if Wen Ling doesn't come to fight for the throne now, there is no guarantee that he will suddenly want the throne in the future.

As long as Wen Ling returns to the right track, Wen Yuan will definitely not be able to keep the crown prince.

The words of instigation are indeed the truth, but those people and Wen Yuan have overlooked one point, that is, since Wen Ling was already a sure successor back then, why did he insist on disobeying his father and leaving the palace? , rejecting all positions of power.

Here Wen Yuan is strictly defending Wen Ling, while Wen Ling is living a carefree life there.

21-year-old Wen Ling is staying at the ruins of the former Long Kingdom. He always feels that he doesn't know enough, but he doesn't know where to find it. go out to find.

The experience of flying into the sky as a child was unforgettable for him. Later, after completely giving up inheritance and gaining the privilege of freely entering and leaving the palace, Wen Ling often went to faraway places.

He usually only takes one maid and four guards, and travels with light luggage on his back. He was dressed so plainly that no one could even imagine that he was the eldest son of the king of such a big country as Jing.

When Wen Ling returned from the ruins of the Dragon Kingdom, he felt the change in the atmosphere of the entire Jing Kingdom.

At that time, he just showed his face at his father's succession ceremony to the throne, dealt with the congratulations of the courtiers, and then hurried out of the country to visit ancient times in Lihe City.

However, this behavior was interpreted by caring people as he did not dare to face his younger brother becoming the prince instead of him, and it was even said that he had a dark mind.

Wen Ling listened, but smiled lightly and didn't take it to heart at all.

However, it is true that most of the people who used to be around him are increasingly alienated from him.
