Kingdom’s Bloodline

"Blood of the Kingdom ()" Find the latest chapter!

A few minutes later, Thales led Mallos and a large group of people (and a big black horse that was too hungry to eat, so it was chattering), and they were boisterous, swaggering on the carpet of the Fuxing Palace.

Wyah tried again and again, saying to D.D that "the prince's personal affairs should be in charge of me", but every time Doyle made a gag "Oh, what do we do between brothers and sisters"; Cohen was eager to find Glover Ask about the situation, but the latter keeps moving in the line, ensuring that he and Cohen are on both sides of Rolf at any time, and the police officer must pass by if he wants to find him (they look fierce when they see Cohen approaching) The ghost with the wind.

After going through an ordeal together, they never met each other before, and the two parties who joined forces temporarily - the old department of Longxiao City and the Xinghu Guards - were no longer so distinct. The dark Fuxing Palace forced them to crowd around the prince together. Dispel tension and fear, find safety and belonging.

"Thank you, Tormund."

Thales spoke suddenly, ignoring Wyatt behind him who was struggling to catch up with the prince, but was held back by D.D's excessive enthusiasm.

Mallos, who was closest to the boy, frowned and said:

"for what?"

"Thanks to your preparations in advance, I have enough manpower." Thales said flatly.

"That's just emergency insurance."

Mallos shook his head:

"I didn't expect that you not only used it..."

As the most well-dressed, healthiest, and neatest person in this group of people, Mallos looked at the new faces in the team and frowned:

"A lot of manpower has also been added."

Made a big deal.

Among the hustle and bustle, Thales was not in a high mood, and Mallos seemed to be preoccupied. If there was a tacit understanding between the two, there was a very long gap between the question and the answer.

"Who is that?"

Looking at the two backs, one big and one small, but walking in tacit understanding, Wyatt couldn't help asking Doyle in a low voice.

"Oh, him," D.D's eyes lit up, as if he had come here, carelessly:

"Of course our beloved Captain of the Guard, Tormund Mallos."

"Oh," Wyah responded:

"The one His Highness said he would send to the Prison of Bones?"

Doyle's complexion changed, and he pressed his lips with his fingers:

"Shh-"

He glanced furtively at the captain's back:

"He... is petty."

They went down a flight of stairs. The black horse Jenny hated the terrain and environment, and started to play tricks again. Genard and Willow were confused by it, causing a commotion in the team. In the end, Glover grabbed it. Reins, use the zombie's characteristic death gaze and waist sword (mainly the latter) to force it into obedience.

"Thank you. It's obvious that I can't protect myself, but I asked Captain Adrian to help me." Thales sighed and said to the captain of his personal guard.

"What?" Mallos frowned.

"He came in to help me delay the time—"Ancient and modern swords cannot escape their sheaths", isn't that the code you entrusted to him?"

"No," Mallos decisively denied:

"This sentence was originally taught to me by the captain."

"What?" The prince was stunned:

"So, you didn't ask him to come here?"

Mallos shook his head, his expression as usual:

"Of course not. Vogel alone is difficult enough. I can't control you."

Thales paused.

"I knew it."

The prince exhaled angrily and pressed his forehead:

"Calm down, calm down, everything depends on yourself, on yourself, all on yourself."

Mallos turned his gaze to Thales' hand.

"what is that?"

Thales froze, he put down his right hand, and looked at the ornament on his index finger—it was a gray bone ring with two rings, one front and one back, and a strange and ferocious animal head was engraved on the ring surface , covering almost half of the knuckles, monotonous but heavy.

If you wear two more, it can even be used as a punch.

"Witness the gift of reconciliation," Telston said for a second before putting down his right hand, and said quietly:

"From Father."

Mallos was thoughtful.

A group of servants and guards came from afar, and when they saw Prince Thales facing them, their complexions changed drastically, and they retreated as quickly as possible, and scattered in all directions before entering the range of the salute.

"It's rare, I've never had this kind of treatment before."

Facing the empty palace, Mallos had complicated emotions:

"what have you done?"

What have you done?

Thales' mood sank, and he was in a trance among the noisy and lively team.

D.D narrates all kinds of ghost stories in Fuxing Palace ("From 4:00 am to 4:30 am, if you look in the full-length mirror alone in the 'John's Long House', you may see 'Black Eyed' John standing Behind you, he will sullenly ask who you are and why you are in his bedroom... Don't look back at this time! Let alone your own name! I accidentally checked the records of the guards. A long time ago, there was a man named Iman Nu's senior guards did not believe in evil and turned back, and this is the last guard record about him..."), which stunned Cohen and Willow for a moment;

Genard looked at the well-behaved Jenny with relief, and felt to the increasingly impatient Glover that there would be a successor to the prince's horse-handler;

Facing the complicated situation, Wyah tried to make gestures, trying to say something to Rolf to unite each other ("We are in the same group, aren't we?"), but the latter always expressed love every time. A look of indifference.

"I sold myself." Thales said sullenly.

Mallos turned to look at him.

"Don't worry, I negotiated a good price."

The watchman squinted:

"for example?"

Thales glanced behind him:

"For example, you, as well as everyone in Mindis Hall, are all safe and sound, will you get out of the catastrophe?"

"Yes," Mallos said without changing his expression.

"Thank you for the great disaster you have given."

Thales ignored his sarcasm:

"Because he offended the royal family and kidnapped nobles at the banquet, Anke Bailar will be sent to the prison of bones and imprisoned for life."

Mallos raised his eyebrows:

"Life sentence? Well, he must be grateful."

Thales shook his head:

"Saving him from death is my father's biggest concession. As for the debts and political disputes between the two families behind, the House of Noble Affairs will negotiate with the Department of Finance and Taxation and the Department of Discipline."

"These are worthless," the watchman of the guard shook his head:

"What did you sell and what did you exchange for?"

Telston paused.

"You know, today's imperial meeting was originally to hold the princes of the Western Wilderness accountable for the infighting in the Saber Camp and the case of the Bailar family."

Mallos' expression changed slightly.

Thales chuckled lightly and said:

"Until I took Falkenhauser's family heirloom sword, broke into the palace against the law, and tried to dissuade Your Majesty."

Mallos's expression changed, and he glanced at the security officer who was telling the story of "Korn, the Brave of Dragon Clouds War and the Flaming Knight" behind his back:

"But the sword you took is obviously the sword of the Karabyan family."

"Yes," Thales said in a low mood:

"But people don't know."

The watchman paused and nodded:

"People don't know."

Thales also nodded:

"And I will write a letter and send it directly to the Duke of Falkenhaus in the Western Wilderness."

Mallos' eyes moved.

Thales sighed, his tone full of emotion:

"After finishing writing, we can walk sideways in the capital and even the entire kingdom."

Mallos was thoughtful, this time, he was silent for a long time.

Thales snorted lightly:

"Also, please tell Shi Tuo's logistics officer that from tomorrow onwards, the bills of Mindis Hall will be self-financed."

Mallos' complexion sank.

Hold.

"You never thought about it, in case you fail?"

"I thought about it."

Thales sighed: "So I sent Kongmutuo."

"Conmuto?"

Thales nodded:

"He was a little scared and reluctant to break into the palace and make trouble. So I sent him to find Ms. Jinny."

"Calculate the time, it's almost time to arrive."

At this moment, a gust of wind hit, and the lights in the palace corridor flickered!

Mallos frowned:

"Enemy attack!"

Everyone's expression changed

The next second, a strong wind struck, and a black figure sprang out from the end of the corridor, rushing towards Thales with lightning speed!

Glover and Korn Qiqi stepped forward and unsheathed their swords.

But the black shadow was unexpected, he stepped on Glover's sword, then stepped on Cohen's shoulder, flashed past, and broke through the two of them in an instant.

Under the eyes of everyone, the black shadow passed by Wyah and Rolf one after another, and rushed to Thales and Mallos without any obstacles!

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Whoa!"

The clear and sharp voice spread:

"I bought this road, and I opened this road!"

Thales's vision froze, and he saw the black shadow pull out his weapon, the sword flashed, and while forcing Wyatt and Rolf back, it made the immortal lights in the corridor tremble in pain:

"If you want to kill the prince, step on me!"

The black figure paused, revealing a short figure tightly covered by a cloak.

She took a scimitar and waved it wildly, babbling and demonstrating to the stunned people around:

"Did you hear, did you hear, did you hear?"

Everyone, including Thales, was shocked and stared blankly at the performance of the people in front of them.

Seeing that no one challenged his authority, the visitor put away the scimitar and nodded in satisfaction:

"Well, that's right!"

The next moment, Thales twitched his face:

"Ah, Ada?"

The short figure nodded, shook his cloak, put on a handsome figure with his hips crossed, and snapped his fingers: "That's right!"

"Boy, I came here as soon as I heard you were in danger! But since I'm here, you're safe, you're welcome!"

Under everyone's weird eyes, the elf guard happily stretched out his hand, and patted Thales' shoulder awkwardly:

"Well, I arrived in time to save you from the danger of your life, isn't it very touching?"

Thales' face darkened, and he thanked dryly:

"Ah, yes, I'm so touched, thanks to you, if you come a step later..."

There seems to be no difference.

Ada nodded in satisfaction, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.

Wyah and Rolf, who were used to this scene, sighed and dispersed, only the black horse Jenny snorted excitedly.

"Ada Instructor."

Mallos' complexion tightened:

"Royal Guard, welcome home."

Hearing these words, Ada trembled, and turned around, her voice flinching:

"Hey, you are that, that..."

"Master Instructor!" A shrill cry rang out.

I saw Doyle pushing away from the crowd and rushing over (until he was stopped by zombies halfway), his eyes were full of sparkles, and his voice was distorted:

"You, you have been away for six years, six years, finally, finally came back wow! Woohoo, you clearly told me at the time that you only went for a few weeks..."

Everyone else frowned at him.

Ada was taken aback for a moment, then scratched her head embarrassingly:

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry..."

"I didn't expect it to be so long, it made you worry..."

"No, since you're back, I'm relieved," D.D snotted and burst into tears, touching his heart:

"I can serve by your side again like before!"

"Thank you, thank you." Ada said guiltily.

"By the way, that," she suddenly remembered something, and looked kindly at the loyal D.D:

"Who are you?"

On the other side, Mallos sighed deeply as he watched the frenzy in the team.

"You know, Your Highness, in fact, the price is not important."

He turned to the depressed Thales:

"Most importantly, when you're haggling, use the..."

Mallos said in a deep voice:

"Is it your own scale?"

Hearing this, Thales raised his head and squeezed his right hand tightly.

———

"Still empty talk?"

In the Ballard room, Thales chuckled to the king in front of him:

"Why, I sold myself to you, and I have to sign a labor contract? 'If I don't do what you say, go undercover to the opposite company and steal business secrets, you will deduct my year-end performance award'?"

The prince stared at King Kessel:

"boss?"

Thales sneered and said:

"Or do you want me to write a secret statement, and when I betray you, you can take it out and tell the world, 'The prince is a wolf, don't trust him'?"

The Iron Fist King did not respond to his nonsense.

He just raised his head, quietly staring at the furnishings in Ballard's room that hadn't changed for many years, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, just when Thales couldn't help but yawn, the king said softly:

"Swear."

Thales was taken aback when he heard this.

King Kessel has a god in his eyes:

"We form an alliance and make a covenant, take an oath, and witness this moment."

vow?

Thales blinked, a little surprised.

"Wow."

"This, I really didn't expect, I swear."

The prince chewed on the word:

"So old-fashioned?"

King Kessel didn't speak, he just stared at Thales coldly.

Thales sighed.

"Very well, Your Majesty."

In the next second, Thales pressed his right hand, and the whole person turned over to the discussion table!

The king frowned.

I saw Thales sitting cross-legged, opened the lid of the flagon and took a sip, his face distorted by choking.

"Then, if you agree, if you accept, if you agree with our agreement today, if you are willing to fight side by side with me, move forward together until the kingdom is cleared and the stars are revived, Your Majesty Kessel," Thales bit Words, put down the jug in disgust:

"Let us drink together and make an oath."

He tapped the flagon and pushed it towards the king:

"For the Star Kingdom."

King Kessel frowned. He glanced at the wine jug, then at Thales, who was dressed in a mess but looked unrestrained, and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"What's wrong?"

Thales laughed uncontrollably, and patted the table under his buttocks:

"Hey, don't tell me who used this table. If I jump on it recklessly, you want me to look at it?"

King Kessel shook his head, expressionless, and gently pushed the flagon away.

Thales frowned:

"you……"

"It's a Yankee swearing custom, wild and backward."

The king said slowly:

"We have a better way."

Under Thales' strange gaze, King Kessel stretched out his palm and held the Star Rod on the side of the chair.

At that moment, the gemstone on the top of the scepter emitted a dazzling blue light without warning, reflecting the entire Ballard room as if it were daylight, causing Thales to close his eyes and turn his head!

"What the hell!"

Fortunately, the blue light is fleeting.

King Kessel put down his scepter and spread out his left hand.

Thales opened his eyes in pain and slowly regained his vision.

He found that on the king's left hand, there was a large ring lying quietly.

Its color is off-white.

Its face is hideous.

"This is the coronation of the Canxing royal family." King Kessel turned the strange ring on his hand, with a strange look in his eyes:

"For seven hundred years, it has been hidden in the Staff of the Stars, and it only appears briefly every time the throne changes."

"The crowning thing?"

Thales narrowed his eyes and looked at it:

"This ring, this shape, doesn't quite look like..."

"An orc-style bone ring," the Iron Fist King knew his doubts, and went straight:

"Take the rare and thick bones of the ancient fear beast, melt and cast the hardest part, and make it with great difficulty."

Thales was really surprised now:

"Orcs?"

The king didn't answer, his eyes still stayed on the bone ring.

Thales looked at this strange ring—many animal heads were engraved from the ring to the ring, and they roared without exception.

He compared what he had seen and heard in the desert. Although this bone ring was already huge, compared to the orcs...

"It's too small." Thales asked doubtfully.

"Because it was not built for orcs, but for humans," the king said quietly:

"Its name: 'Guertaxa'."

Guertaxa.

Thales recalled the Orc language course and guessed:

"I don't know if your pronunciation is correct, but the syllable and structure in the orc language should be a noun or a pronoun, and these two affixes should be positive and honorable, and they are abstract concepts. As for the actual meaning Look at the pronunciation and writing, as well as the different language habits of the three major orc branches..."

"'Covenant'," King Kessel answered him bluntly without giving him a chance to show off his studies:

"This is its righteousness."

covenant.

"Guer-Tak-Sa," Thales' eyes were attracted by the bone ring, and he whispered its name:

"Covenant?"

The king nodded.

"Seven hundred years ago, the coalition forces of the mountain elves and the northern humans suffered a disastrous defeat. They fell overnight, and the situation in the final battle was corrupt."

Endgame.

Thales' mood sank.

"At a critical moment, a mortal went north alone and embarked on a dangerous journey: he crossed the ancient 'last line of human defense' in reverse, and went deep into the Quigul Glacier."

Quigul Glacier.

The king's voice was long and deep:

"He wants to break the taboos of mankind since ancient times, seek the assistance of ancient enemies, form alliances, and fight disasters together."

Ancient Enemy.

Together against disasters.

Thales was confused:

"A... mortal?"

The king nodded slowly, with the weight of history in his sentence:

"When he returned from the glacier, eight battle flags flew behind him."

"In the orc kingdom after the glacier, there are eight tribes who are willing to put aside the blood training of their ancestors and put aside their blood and deep hatred."

"They are mighty, and the whole family goes south."

Thales couldn't help but hold his breath.

"So for the first time since the age of ignorance, the orcs crossed the natural barrier of Quigul without bloodshed, crossed the ruins of the 'last line of human defense', crossed the thirty-eight outposts built later, entered the province of Northland, and set foot on The territory of the former human empire moved thousands of miles to join the battle of the end."

In the next second, King Kessel's eyes were sharp:

"In this way, Nakaru Ax broke through unprecedented obstacles with great courage and courage, and brought a powerful reinforcement army that no one could have expected, but it was also unacceptable in the world."

"Thus stabilizing the war situation in the Northland."

"Help him finally—reverse the cold wind."

Nakaru Ax.

Hearing this name, Thales couldn't help but think of the silver light in the boundless darkness between the mountainside under Longxiao City:

"This is...the first time I've heard of it."

The Iron Fist King nodded.

"Deviating from the orthodox tradition, and being with a ferocious alien, of course the northerners of later generations don't think this is a glorious thing," King Kessel said lightly:

"Especially after the end of the war, the relationship between humans and orcs deteriorated again, and they became enemies with each other."

The Iron Fist King put down the bone ring in his hand and pushed him in front of Thales.

"And this is the token of the covenant between Nakaru and the orcs back then."

"Kurtaksa - 'Covenant'."

The king paused for a moment.

Thales picked up the bone ring, endured the doubt and shock in his heart, and slowly digested this strange history.

"There are eight animal head engravings on it, which represent the consensus of the eight orc holy chieftains," the king said slowly:

"It is said that Nakaju followed the etiquette of the orcs and defeated all opponents with his own strength, thereby gaining the respect and trust of the orcs in exchange for understanding and commitment."

"One's own strength..." Thales turned the bone ring, looked at the unclear words around the ring, remembered the "orc duel" he encountered in the desert, and sighed:

"Okay, legend."

"But how is it here? On... the Star King's scepter?"

King Kessel raised his head:

"After the War of the End, the upstarts of the North and the remnants of the empire resumed disputes, and Nakaru and Tormund I met with swords."

"But the two kings finally signed a truce with the foresight and foresight, and let the past go."

Thales remembered the library in Dragon Clouds City and woke up.

"This ring has witnessed the initial covenant between the two countries, and witnessed the oath between Nakaju and Tormund," the king said in a deep voice:

"In the end, Exeter's founding king gave it to the Restoration King as a sign of reconciliation and trust."

So, Naikaru just used this thing to replace Tormund's "triumph"?

"Oh," Thales didn't change his expression:

"That's right."

"Then why did you take it out?"

King Kessel stared at him quietly, but did not answer.

Thales came to his senses and couldn't help laughing.

"This? Isn't that still the Yankee way of swearing?"

He tossed the bone ring away, dumbfounded:

"Brutal and backward?"

In the next second, Guertaxa was thrown into the air by Thales, but was grabbed by the king!

King Kessel stared at Thales seriously, and the atmosphere became heavy.

This made the latter nervous.

I saw the king put the "covenant" on his index finger at an extremely slow speed, and stretched it towards Thales:

"Here and now, under the witness of Gurtaksa, we swore an oath."

He looked solemn, not joking.

Thales frowned:

"Really come?"

Is it a showman or what?

But the Iron Fist King stared at the young man, saying every word:

"You will help me push the kingdom, rolling forward, removing obstacles and breaking chains."

His eyes sharpened:

"Do whatever it takes."

"everything."

At that moment, Thales couldn't stand the king's sharp eyes.

"So general?"

He had no choice but to turn his head away and use jokes to ease the atmosphere:

"There's no terms or anything?"

The Iron Fist King stared at him for a while, then gently removed the bony ring.

"The swearers are people, not cold words."

"What the oath connects is also a person."

The king said softly:

"We have a tacit understanding with each other about the covenant we made, the promise we kept, including everything we said before."

"Needless to say."

Thales' eyebrows twitched, and he heyed twice unnaturally:

"Sounds like playing house."

But the king didn't want to play tricks, so he pushed Guertaxa in front of Thales.

"It's your turn."

Seeing that the other party was so serious, Thales had no choice but to cheer up and pick up the simple but hideous bone ring.

"All right."

Thales didn't think too much, he shook the ring on his hand:

"And you..."

"Put it on." King Kessel interrupted him, his gaze becoming more and more stern.

Thales couldn't help frowning.

But he turned the bone ring carefully, and put it on the index finger of his right hand.

Unlike its hideous and rough appearance, it feels smooth and warm to the touch.

Thales swallowed and pointed it at the king.

All right.

"Here and now, under the witness of the 'covenant', we swore to make a covenant."

"I will help you promote the kingdom..."

Thales looked at the king and said seriously:

"And you will respect my wishes, listen to my opinions, and treat them sincerely without reservation."

"No deception."

"any."

At this moment, the prince and the king looked at each other, feeling the seriousness in each other's eyes.

After a long silence, King Kessel nodded:

"Then, in the name of Kessel Mindis Eddie Canxing."

"I promise."

He stared at Thales.

Thales was uncomfortable being stared at by him, and just wanted to get out of here quickly:

"Then, in the name of Thales Serangelana Kessel Canxing, I..."

Thales coughed:

"I agree!"

"Is it okay?"

Damn.

Although wearing this ring is not uncomfortable, the prince does not feel good.

It's like... he's bound by something.

The king then looked away, nodded, and said softly:

"Then the covenant has been established."

Thales sneered and shook the bone ring on his hand:

"Then, the contract takes effect?"

at this moment.

Boom!

Thales only felt a muffled sound exploding in his ear, and under the severe pain in his eardrum, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his ear.

【Then this covenant has been established...has been established...established...】

Heavy and cascading voices came from all directions, echoing endlessly, shaking the entire palace!

But it was useless to cover his ears. This heavy and strange voice was pouring into his brain in an indescribable way, and he couldn't even tell what language it was.

【The ally... the ally... the ally...】

If you really want to talk about the feeling, it's like thousands of blades are tearing a piece of steel!

Even the table and floor tiles under him were constantly shaking.

【The betrayal of relatives...】

"Vori!"

Thales felt the world was spinning, and couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, but felt that everything around him was vibrating at a high frequency!

He couldn't help shouting:

"What are you doing!"

The crime of prison river surged up wildly, but it didn't have the slightest effect.

The heavy and sharp voice continued, becoming shorter and more powerful, clearly recognizable:

[Burning Flame——]

The words were ups and downs, shocking, Thales only felt numb in his chest:

[Soul Breaking Prison River! 】

Finally, the last syllable disappears and everything stops.

Thales leaned on the table, put down his hands covering his ears, and opened his eyes tremblingly.

Before he knew it, he was already dripping with cold sweat.

The Ballard Room remained silent.

The lights are on, and everything is business as usual.

Opposite him, King Kessel was sitting on the seat, rubbing his forehead with the same expression of pain:

"Relax, this matches the record..."

Thales stood up and took off the bone ring three times and five times.

It rolled a few times and stopped on the table. The animal head opened its mouth ferociously, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

"What the hell is... what the hell?"

Thales took a few deep breaths, feeling terrified.

"Magic power, isn't it?" the king exhaled, and gradually returned to normal:

"That's the curse."

Thales rubbed his ears desperately, but found that they no longer hurt. It seemed that everything just now... was an illusion that never happened.

"curse?"

King Kessel nodded, his expression became cold again:

"In the age of the empire, some people said that they came from under hell, from the source of the Hell River, which is proof that demons have disturbed the world."

"Some people say that they are just self-fulfilling prophecies fabricated by charlatans, and they are nothing but self-deception."

"Others say that they come from mysterious and terrifying nameless ancient gods, dormant in the corners that were missed when the gods created the world."

"But even the mages who used to be erudite and knowledgeable can't fully understand the secrets. They can only classify it as the most secret and taboo link in magic, and keep it at a respectful distance and put it on the shelf."

The king glanced at Guertaxa, looked at Thales quietly, and spoke profoundly:

"This is the curse cast by the ancient wise men in the orc tribe. It is mysterious and unfathomable."

curse.

Thales panted and wiped off his sweat:

"Does this...does it work? What does it do?"

Iron Fist King chuckled.

"Those orcs," he said after being silent for a long time, "seven hundred years ago, those eight orc tribes who were willing to help mankind fight against disasters did not send troops out of generosity and sympathy."

Thales paused.

"Nekaru promised them a 'land without snow and ice' for them to live and multiply after the victory of the war."

King Kessel said slowly:

"That is the eight great tribes of orcs under the Dragon Skeleton Throne in today's great desert."

Thales frowned:

"Great desert?"

He recalled his experience in the desert and his brief contact with the orcs:

"The eight tribes of orcs in the desert, how did they come here?"

Thales immediately reacted:

"Wait, a place where there is no snow and no ice?"

The king stared at him silently.

Thales chuckled:

"So Nakaru played a word game? The land he promised before the war, but was distributed to the orcs after the war, is no one wants it at all-barren desert?"

How should I put it, Nakaru, you damn...

Little dodger?

Thinking of the silver shadow man in the belly of the mountains, Thales couldn't laugh or cry.

"Word games?"

But the Iron Fist King snorted coldly, causing the lights in the room to tremble.

He glanced lightly at Thales:

"Do you know how the Dragon Knight King passed away?"

When Thales heard this, his smile stopped immediately.

He had a premonition.

"Illness and death."

Thales said cautiously:

"King Naikaru was plagued by injuries and died young during his military life. His nephew, 'Smiler' Nun Walton, inherited the status and title of Naikaru and renamed Fort Aaron For Dragon Clouds City, to commemorate his uncle, the founding king of Exeter."

Speaking of this, Thales couldn't help but think of the "Oath of Nakaju", and the hundreds of years of struggle between the king and the grand dukes:

"But the nine lords of the Smiling One and Nakaru were dissatisfied with each other, causing Exeter to fall into terrible separatism and turmoil-until 'Black Eye' John led the Northern Expedition, forcing them to unite, and the ten grand dukes made a 'Naikaru Pledge', to fight against the stars."

"Yes," King Kessel listened, and hummed softly:

"But that's the official word."

Official statement?

Thales narrowed his eyes, waiting for the next step.

"In the kingdom's secret department, there is an extremely early top-secret message, which was sealed by 'Deadly Iris' personally."

The king said quietly:

"It is recorded that one night after the Kingdom of Exeter was established, countless people in Fort Allende woke up from their sleep."

"But I heard the harsh wind, resounding through the sky."

"Seeing the blue flames covering the moon again, melting the snow on thousands of peaks."

The strong wind, the sky, the blue flames...

Listening to these unnatural visions, Thales, who had experienced it, said in surprise:

"What? You mean..."

King Kessel was silent for a while, then nodded quietly:

"Exactly."

"That mythical giant dragon, the so-called 'queen of the sky' who was passed down by the people as the consort of the dragon knight king, descended on the cliff of the sky that night."

In the narrow and dark Ballard room, the Iron Fist King said in a deep voice:

"It rains down relentless flames..."

"The human hero who has become famous and admired by everyone, the king of dragonriders, Nakaru Ax I..."

"Livingly..."

"Burn to ashes."

The voice fell, and the lights dimmed.

"What?"

Thales screamed out loud.

His eyes turned to the tabletop, fixed on the grey-white hideous bone ring.

What are you doing?

The statue standing at the highest point of Dragon Clouds City.

The most proud hero of the Northlanders.

Exeter's founding monarch.

Silver shadows under the mountains.

King of Dragon Riders.

Nakaru Ax.

His end, he was given, by his own, or the 'wife' passed on by the world, by the queen of the sky...

Give……

And that fairy-tale story of the founding of the Dragon Queen and the Knight King...

Thales' mind was blank, and it was difficult for him to understand the logic behind this truth.

"As I said, the person who swears the oath is a person, not a cold language. Stealing, cheating and playing with words are just low-level tricks."

The king said slowly, fearful and serious.

Stealing, cheating, playing with words...

Thales stared.

etc.

Nakaru's Promise, Orcs, Land Without Snow and Freeze, Great Desert.

So, just now it was...

Back this ally.

People betrayed relatives.

Recalling the magic sound he heard just now, Thales looked stunned.

"Guertaksa has his own judgment on what covenant is made, what promise is kept, what is breach of covenant, and what is renunciation."

Opposite him, King Kessel was also staring at the bone ring, his eyes flickering:

"It will, when necessary, in its own way..."

"Respond."
