Kingdom’s Bloodline

In the anxious atmosphere, Sackel stared at Ricky with scorching eyes: "But it has never been confirmed."

Ricky was silent for a while.

"Oh, interesting."

Ricky smiled into the eyes of the punishment knight:

"Which king?"

In front of the other party's meaningful gaze, Sackel shook his head decisively:

"I can not."

Thales exhaled.

Amidst the trembling of the floor, Ricky suddenly turned his head and glanced at Thales meaningfully.

Startled the latter.

But Ricky finally turned his gaze away, responding to the punishment knight's words.

"Watcher, how much do you know about demons?"

"How much do you know about me?"

Sackel froze for a moment.

"Come on, tell me, tell your prince too." Ricky laughed.

Sackel glanced at Thales strangely.

"In Xingchen, the ones who have dealt with existences like you for a long time are the Sunset Temple and the Kingdom's Secret Department."

Thales was slightly moved.

"According to the law of the Sunset Temple, you can't invade the world with your real body, you can only possess people and use your current body as a container, or you have confused the spirit, and you can only use the words of your believers," Sack said Erzai looked at Ricky carefully:

"But no matter what, your current appearance is just an illusion, and your roots are rooted in hell. This is why you have been mortally wounded but never died."

Possessed... Bewitched...

Thales endured the astonishment in his heart and digested the new knowledge.

Ricky stroked his chin and raised his eyebrows.

"Interesting," the leader of the Disaster Sword nodded and said, "Is there any more?"

Saker was silent for a while.

"According to the records of the Secret Science, in addition to consciousness, you can also be present through 'pollution'," Sackel stared at Ricky's injured part, gritted his teeth and said:

"The flesh and blood polluted by you has an abnormal activity that cannot be explained by common sense. You live in every inch of your body and every strand of your spirit. Unless you encounter natural enemies, you will be reborn endlessly and never die."

pollute.

Thales remembered something, and couldn't help but turn pale.

"Natural enemy?" Ricky's interest seemed to be hooked by this new word.

Sackel still looked at Ricky's expression.

"The weapons prayed by the priests in the major temples have the power of gods and can cause irreparable damage to you." Saker said softly:

"This is the so-called 'disillusionment before the gods'."

shrine.

Thales recalled his several encounters with the Sunset and Haoyue Temple, but they were all unpleasant memories.

"But you must have a purpose, don't you?"

Sackel stared at Ricky:

"It is written in the "Sunset Teaching Sutra" that when demons appear in this world, they must ask for something."

"Then, you came from hell to ask the truth about the Dragon Breaker...why?"

Ricky was taken aback.

A second passed.

"Hmph," Ricky curled his lips, and finally couldn't help laughing:

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Thales and Sackel either looked at him questioningly or coldly.

Ricky finally had enough of laughing.

He raised his eyes and said in a mysterious tone: "So, your understanding of gods and demons, heaven and hell comes from supporting Canxing to become the king, and thus becoming the Sunset Temple of the Star Orthodox Church, right?"

Thales' nerves tightened.

Saker pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Seeing Ricky leaning back on the stone platform, he seemed quite comfortable:

"You know, before the split of the Myojin Church, the most original and unmodified "Myojin Sacred Edict" will tell you that in the unreachable sky and the earth, there is the sun opposite the prison river, and one is the source of all things, endowed with Vitality, one is the end of all things, burying death, the two coexist equally, everything is natural and has its own rules."

"Sacred Edict of Ming Dynasty".

Thales' heart moved, remembering that Selma had told him the boring creation myths in these religions.

"But in the imperial era, the most powerful Holy Day believers in the church, and the "Holy Days" they regarded as the standard, began to say that the sun is beautiful, holy, and benevolent. Only the belief in gods, especially the belief in holy days, the sacred Those who are blessed by God can ascend to heaven after death and enter the kingdom of God without being tortured."

Ricky's eyes turned cold:

"On the contrary, the Hell River is terrifying, terrifying, and cruel. Only sinful souls will pass through the Hell River and fall into the hell under the control of demons, where they will suffer forever."

"Since then, the self-proclaimed orthodox Holy Day lineage in the Myojin Church has begun to take power. In order to win the favor of their main god, and to prove that the Holy Day is the law of the 'Myojin Successor', they competed to perform, and broke their heads. , fighting for power internally, reopening the tribunal, suppressing the Outer Gods externally, and persecuting heretics."

Ricky snorted softly:

"And the irony is that today, when the holy days are declining and splitting, looking at the "Xi Sun Canon" and "Sunset Sun Canon", they began to argue, which has become the sun at different times of the day? Which is more sacred? Xiri and Sunset Is the setting sun a brother and sister or a couple?"

Ricky shook his head and sneered ironically:

"hehe."

Ricky straightened up and stared at Sackel coldly:

"And you just take what these churches tell you, this kind of record that changes every era and every version distorts..."

"Take it as the truth?"

Saker frowned fiercely.

"So what's the truth?"

The penalty knight raised the volume unknowingly:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

But Ricky suddenly raised an index finger, stopping Sackel's words.

"You were just a certain king in the history of the stars, weren't you?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Ricky's face, which made Thales shudder inexplicably, thinking of the former black face.

"Coincidentally, I also have a story about a king."

Thales and Sackel looked at each other, both startled.

"It is said that a long, long time ago, in the boundless and boundless Age of Kings, there was once a great king in the world."

"He has made great military exploits and is wise and wise."

Ricky's tone was mixed with the low rumbling friction sound of the platform under his feet, and it seemed even more strange in the empty and dark space.

"One day, a demon blocked the king's way. It said, 'Wise king, please accept my help. I will help you conquer the world and distinguish between loyal and evil.'"

Ricky smiled unabated:

"How wise is the king, he is not moved at all: 'Demon, I know your tricks, you just want to destroy my kingdom.'"

"The demon became angry and attacked the king, but the king's strength was as powerful as his army, and his wisdom and strategy were as deep as the sea. Soon, the demon and his minions were defeated and thrown into prison."

Ricky's tone became more and more treacherous, which made Taylor's heart tighten unconsciously.

"The devil was trembling with fright, and begged in the prison: 'Please, great king, I can provide you with more powerful power, otherwise you will not be able to conquer the world'."

Ricky raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Thales, making the latter feel awe-inspiring:

"'I can conquer the world myself, and I don't need your weak help,' the king wisely refused it, 'Demon, I know your tricks, you just want to destroy my kingdom, but you are useless in front of my power .'"

"The king conquered the world, but his military exploits were so great that there were mourners everywhere, the army passed by, and blood was everywhere. Soon, everyone began to oppose his conquest."

"The king remembered the words of the devil and was so ashamed that he came to the prison and tortured the devil."

Ricky took a breath, and his words continued:

"The devil was trembling with fright, and begged in the prison: 'Please, don't torture me, I can give you wiser advice, otherwise you will not be able to distinguish between adultery and adultery'."

Saker's eyes froze.

"'I can tell the difference between loyalty and villainy, and I don't need your stupid advice,' the king wisely rejected it, 'I know your tricks, devil, you just want to destroy my kingdom, but in front of my wisdom, you Just stupid as a pig.'”

"The king returned to the court and used means. He suppressed the opposition and regained support for the war. But one day, the generals loyal to him all mutinied after the expedition and betrayed the king."

"The king remembered the words of the devil and regretted it, so he came to the prison and asked the devil."

Thales had a premonition of the direction of the story and frowned deeply.

"'Damn devil, come, I will accept your help!' the king said angrily."

In the next second, Ricky raised his head, and a yellow light flashed in his left eye that had returned to normal:

"'But I have already destroyed your kingdom.' The devil smiled and disappeared before his eyes."

"And the monarch can only sit helplessly on the ground until the rebels break his palace and destroy his kingdom."

Ricky finished his story, looked at Thales, and left a few meaningful chuckles.

This made the young man especially sad.

This story sounds like a fairy tale at first glance...

"Hmph," but Saker didn't buy it:

"It sounds like a foolish king who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and has been perfunctorily given the excuse of a devil."

Ricky shook his head nonchalantly, not in the least bit offended.

"You know, the servants of the annihilated monarch, they are the most delicate and extravagant, they prefer to confuse emperors and generals, attach themselves to high-ranking dignitaries, and witness death and chaos behind the whispers and whispers behind the scenes. There is war."

"As for the believers of the Infinite Sovereign, they are a group of theater fans. Their favorite actors are the faithful believers in the major temples. Oh, they will never tire of watching these actors on the stage of life. Under their guidance, their beliefs collapse, and finally A blasphemous drama of betrayal."

Ricky seemingly casually said a few terms Thales had never heard of.

Annihilation of the monarch.

Infinite Monarch.

Sackel finally became serious and looked at Ricky solemnly.

"So you don't belong to the above two monarchs, but the minions of the other five."

Ricky laughed uncontrollably.

"Yes, yes, there are seven layers of hell, so there are only seven monarchs who rule hell, right?"

Ricky said perfunctorily:

"Let me guess, where did you hear it? Sunset Temple? Kingdom Secrets?"

He then shook his head:

"Hmph, mortal."

Listening to their conversation, Thales blinked desperately.

That's right, when he was in Dragon Clouds City, he also read a lot of religious works, but hell, but demons...

"But did you know that the dead monarch has a group of the roughest darlings, they like to pollute powerful fighters and resolute soldiers, because they can taste blood and violence most quickly."

Ricky looked at Sack El with a smile in his eyes:

"Like you."

At that moment, the penalty knight was taken aback.

But Ricky continues:

"They like to torture people's will, challenge people's limits, and enjoy people's pain."

"For example, they will show some prisoners who have been incarcerated for many years endless illusions, as well as the past they miss the most, and even, the people they can't let go of."

"They would draw out his greatest regrets, his worst pain, his worst nightmares and make them think he was crazy."

Following Ricky's bewitching and pointed words, Sackel froze completely.

Just listen to Ricky deliberately say:

"But they can unknowingly confuse his sanity, twist his heart, add the final straw to a loosened taboo belief, and thus guide his behavior after he is released from prison."

"And this kind of insanity can drive countless bloody fighters, and they are the favorites of the dead monarch's favorite..."

"Enough!" Thales interrupted Ricky.

The prince looked at Sackel's dazed expression, and said to Ricky angrily:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Sackel took a deep breath and returned to reality.

"Of course, the devil is talking nonsense," Ricky didn't seem to be offended by Thales' rudeness at all. He just leaned back on his stone platform and said quietly:

"The king thought so too."

Telston was at a loss for words.

"Be careful, Your Highness, don't speculate on what the devil wants to do, and don't think that you can be smarter than the devil, let alone think that you can be stronger than the devil." Ricky watched the distant wall gradually slide down:

"Because when you asked..."

Ricky turned his head, and stared directly at Thales with a pair of cold, deep eyes:

"It just worked."

Sakeel on the side remained silent.

Thales looked into his eyes, hesitated to speak.

"The devil is always there," Ricky said with a half-smile:

"It's just that the devil is silent."

"The gods know," Ricky hummed softly, and added coldly:

"But the gods don't speak."

The devil is always there, but the devil is silent.

The gods know, but the gods don't speak.

Feeling the deep meaning in these words, the prince only felt an inexplicable chill on his back.

Thales was silent for a while, only feeling that Ricky was tightly suppressing everything from his aura to the scene.

But he remembered something.

"If you... if they are really that scary," the boy said again, attracting the attention of the two:

"Then why do you react so strongly to the name 'Brother Truth'?"

Sure enough, at the moment of exit, Ricky's arm trembled slightly.

He stared at Thales complicatedly.

"I've heard it," Thales continued boldly:

"Disaster, magician."

"They killed the gods, launched the final battle, and involved the demons in hell."

At that moment, even Sackel frowned.

Thales took a deep breath and asked the biggest question in his heart:

"That's why you came here today to ask about the world... I am the Dragon Breaker, and about the relationship between the legendary anti-demon armed forces and the Double Emperor. Is it also related to this?"

"Your goal is a disaster like the Queen of Magic?"

Ricky was silent for a long time.

For a few seconds, Thales could only hear the rumble of the rising friction of the platform, and the voices of mercenaries whispering in the distance.

Finally, Ricky spoke in his lightest and most mysterious tone:

"The disaster killed the gods?"

"This is probably told by the mage, or a mage's notebook?"

mage.

Thales stared.

The elegant figure in blue appeared in front of his eyes.

"Tsk tsk."

Ricky tutted and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Thales asked puzzled.

Crassus, who saw the sword of disaster, turned his head and looked at Thales with a complex and subtle look:

"You are so innocent...cute."

Thales was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

Ricky didn't answer right away, he just looked at Thales meaningfully for a while.

"How do you kill a person?"

Thales was stunned.

Ricky nodded with a sneer, and looked at Sackel on the opposite side:

"Oh, yes, stab his heart and wait until he stops breathing and loses his life."

"But if I come back to life and start breathing again... oh, sorry, you didn't kill me."

Ricky smiled brighter and pointed to his neck.

Sackel stared at Ricky with more and more serious eyes.

But Ricky's next sentence made Thales even more confused:

"So, how are you going to kill my sword?"

Thales was taken aback:

"What?"

Ricky touched his "Eternal Truth" and said with a smile:

"In order to kill my sword, you also cut off the hilt of the sword, and wait until the sword stops breathing and loses life?"

Thales blinked, expressing his confusion.

"No."

Ricky shook his head mysteriously, and pointed to his long silver-edged sword:

"Because swords are inherently lifeless, you can't kill a sword."

Thales was stunned.

"So, likewise, how do you kill a book, kill a dream, kill a vow, kill a spirit?"

Ricky's eyes became more and more severe and cold:

"How do you kill these abstract things that have no life at all, and there is no boundary between 'life and death'?"

Observing the prince's expression, Ricky, who seemed to have enjoyed the astonishment on Thales's face, nodded in satisfaction.

"Now, honey, answer my next question."

Thales took a deep breath and suddenly understood what he meant.

"No matter how powerful you are..."

I saw Ricky looking at the deep ceiling, as if his eyes could penetrate it and reach the endless starry sky above his head:

"But how do you 'kill' one..."

"God?"

Thales was breathing in a trance.

He couldn't help thinking about what Ashida had told him.

[Beyond the gods, overlooking all living beings...]

"Although I don't want to part with your simplicity and cuteness, my dear..."

I don’t know when it started, Ricky’s name for him changed:

"It's time to lift your eyes from the lies, whether it's made up by temples and churches, or magic towers and mages..."

Ricky's eyes flickered:

"A self-righteous lie."
