Mystery Makes Me Strong

At this time, the Middle Ages had just developed into the industrial age, and the authority of the king had just begun to touch the edge of supremacy.

The power of the nobility was compressed by the power brought by the factory.

However, when the king truly saw the existence of supernatural powers, his worldview and ambitions changed drastically.

The king sat on his throne, his brows furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.

Little John's suicide shocked him greatly. He could not understand why a young man who was seduced by wealth and beauty would choose to commit suicide.

There must be something fishy in this. The king's intuition told him that there was some mysterious and powerful power hidden in the hidden valley.

"Father, I am very sad about Little John's death. I don't want to be involved in this matter anymore." Princess Arya stood in front of the king. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously just cried.

The king sighed, knowing that his daughter had some feelings for little John.

Although it's just a show, people have feelings.

Although this relationship was short-lived.

Probably only half a month?

As the king of a country, he cannot let his personal emotions affect the interests of the power.

"My dear daughter, I understand your sadness, but we must figure out the secret of the valley. This is related to the future of the power."

A trace of reluctance flashed in Princess Arya's eyes, but as a princess, she knew her responsibility. She nodded in understanding.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in the king's eyes. He knew that his daughter was the best.

"Good, you continue to approach those coming out of the valley, we need more information."

Princess Arya bowed, turned and left the palace, her heart full of contradictions and uneasiness.

…………

In a distant valley, Xiao Huan was sitting under a big tree, her brows furrowed, obviously in a bad mood.

"Dad, these people are really troublesome. They've been given opportunities, but they're still so greedy."

"It's just a game, how can there be so many subsequent troubles?"

"Haha, this is the trouble in the real world." Wen Rensheng stood beside her, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"People in every world are like this. They always want more, but don't know how to cherish everything in front of them."

Xiao Huan sighed, she has grown up too.

She knew her father was telling the truth.

"Then what should we do? We can't just passively defend like this, right?"

Wen Rensheng smiled.

It was too easy for him.

But there was a glint in his eyes, and he knew it was time for Xiao Huan to hone his skills.

Can't we always stop growing up?

There's nothing wrong with not growing up.

So he asked Zhao Han to take action.

"Go, my wise student, and let the greedy men know that there are things they cannot touch."

Zhao Han appeared, looking confused.

Just now she was lying at home reading a book, but now she was assigned a task.

A glimmer of expectation flashed in Xiao Huan's eyes, and she knew her father's plan must be wonderful.

"So what do we do?"

Wen Rensheng smiled slightly and cast his gaze into the distance.

"First of all, you need to let the king and princess know that the valley is not theirs to play with."

"You have to solve the next difficult problem, which is actually more interesting in itself."

Princess Arya returned to her room, her heart filled with pain and struggle.

She knew that her father's order could not be disobeyed, but she really didn't want to tempt those innocent people anymore.

At this moment, a light suddenly appeared in her room, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of her.

"Your Highness, I know you are in pain and I can help you."

Princess Arya looked at the man who suddenly appeared warily, and she could feel the powerful aura emanating from him.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

This person is exactly what Zhao Han is pretending to be.

Being a man makes things easier. Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to admit it.

When you do things as a woman, there will always be those who are bored and don’t focus on things, but on people.

Zhao Han smiled slightly, her eyes full of love.

"I'm here to help you. I can help you get out of your current predicament."

A trace of doubt flashed in Princess Arya's eyes. She didn't know whether to believe this mysterious man who suddenly appeared.

"Why are you helping me?"

Zhao Han sighed, she knew it was not easy to gain the princess's trust.

There was nothing I could do, this was the beach where I and Xiao Huan had played, and I had to clean up the back.

You can't count on seven-year-old Xiao Huan, right?

That guy only throws around and says he understands, but can't do anything with his hands.

"Because I don't want to see more people get hurt because of greed."

Princess Arya was silent, struggling in her heart.

Finally, she decided to believe this man. "Then what can you do for me?"

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhao Han's eyes, and she knew that the princess had taken the bait.

"I can help you make your father change his mind and make him give up exploring the valley."

Princess Arya's eyes flashed with surprise, and she knew this was exactly what she wanted.

"Really? Can you really do this?"

Zhao Han nodded, her voice full of confidence. "Of course, but you need to cooperate with me."

Princess Arya took a deep breath, knowing that she had no way out. "Okay, I promise you."

The king was discussing state affairs with his ministers. Suddenly, a light flashed and Zhao Han appeared in front of them.

"Your Majesty the King, I know you want to explore the secrets of the valley, but I must tell you that it is not a place you should touch."

The king and his ministers were startled by the sudden appearance of the man, but they quickly regained their composure.

The king looked at Zhao Han coldly, his voice full of majesty: "Who are you? Why do you interfere in the king's affairs?"

The ministers were all surprised and fearful.

The other party can suddenly appear, which shows that the magician is real.

Immortality is also real.

The fountain of youth really exists, and they can become immortal!

Zhao Han smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I can make you understand that there are some things you can't touch."

A flash of anger flashed in the king's eyes. He could not bear to be spoken to like this.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?"

Zhao Han shook his head, knowing that the king still did not understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Your Majesty the King, you should know that there are some forces that you cannot resist. If you continue like this, your country will suffer disaster."

An uneasiness surged in the king's heart, and he knew that this man's words were not groundless.

The other party has this power.

At least he wouldn't do this suddenly.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Zhao Han sighed, she knew that the king had been shaken.

"I just want you to understand the difference in power."

"Some things don't belong to you. You can choose to give up, or you can choose to continue, but you have to understand the consequences your actions will bring to you."

The king was silent. He knew that what this man said made sense. He began to reconsider his decision.

…………

night.

The king sat alone in his study, surrounded by bookshelves filled with various ancient books and scrolls, and an ancient atmosphere filled the air.

His brows were furrowed and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, his heart filled with struggle and hesitation.

He recalled the words of the middle-aged man, and those words struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

"There are some forces you can't fight."

He remembered this sentence.

It kept echoing in his mind.

The king knew he faced a difficult choice.

On the one hand, the secret of the valley is undoubtedly tempting, and it represents endless possibilities and power; on the other hand, if there is really some power hidden in the valley that he cannot understand, then blind pursuit may bring consequences to the forces. disaster.

He could die at any moment.

This reminded him of the palace nobles crawling at his feet.

They count on their annuities to get by.

Without a fiefdom, I asked them to fight, and they had no choice but to fight.

Otherwise, you can only die.

This is no power.

On the contrary, nobles with fiefdoms cannot do this.

Everyone has to negotiate, he will send troops to himself, he will give them the power to collect taxes, and he will give them certain rights.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the stars in the night sky.

He knows that every choice has its price, and he must make the wisest decision possible.

However, he also knew that he actually had no ability to choose a better one.

Princess Arya stood at the door of the study, holding a just-written letter in her hand. She knew that this letter might change her fate, and that of the entire kingdom.

She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to knock on the study door.

"Your Majesty the King, may I come in?" Her voice was soft but firm.

The king turned and looked at his daughter, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Alya, it's so late, do you have anything else to do?"

Princess Arya walked into the study and handed the letter in her hand to the king.

"Father, this is a letter I wrote to the Guardian of the Valley. I hope you can consider it."

The king took the letter, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He opened the letter and read it carefully.

In the letter, Princess Arya expressed her respect for the valley and her desire for peace. She hoped that the king could give up exploring the valley and instead seek peaceful coexistence with the valley.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in the king's eyes. He looked at Princess Arya, and he knew that his daughter was sincere.

"Do you really think we should give up?"

Princess Arya nodded, her eyes full of determination.

"Yes, Father. I believe it would be to our mutual benefit if we could live in peace with the Valley."

The king was silent. He knew that Princess Arya's words made sense. He began to reconsider his decision.

In fact, the decision is very simple.

He couldn't be beaten in the first place, but he was too greedy.

Now it's just a matter of enduring for a few years, gaining the other party's trust, finding out the other party's details, and then you can start killing.

He decided to do this.

…………

At the other end of the valley, the wise man stood in his tower, looking through the mist, as if he could see the palace in the distance. There was a hint of a smile on his face.

He knew that the Guardian's plan was already half successful.

He knew that the king was facing an important decision, and this decision would affect the fate of the entire kingdom.

He also knew that Princess Arya's letter would be the key to the king's decision.

A glimmer of wisdom flashed in the eyes of the wise man, and he knew that he needed to give the king a clearer revelation.

He began to prepare a new plan, a plan that would allow the king to completely give up exploring the valley.

A few days later, the king summoned his ministers again, with a serious expression on his face. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have made a decision."

The ministers looked at the king, their eyes full of expectation and curiosity. The king took a deep breath, and his voice echoed in the hall.

"I have decided that we will no longer explore the secrets of the valley."

The ministers were shocked, they couldn't believe that the king would make such a decision. "Your Majesty, have you really thought it through?" A minister couldn't help asking.

The king nodded, his eyes full of determination.

"Yes, I have thought it through clearly. I believe that living in peace with the valley is the best choice for us."

Princess Arya stood in the crowd, and a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes. She knew that her efforts were not in vain.

In fact, it was because she also knew the true power of the valley. It was too difficult to make a person give up his life voluntarily.

Especially to change a person's mind.

This is the realm of God.

It is easy to force a person to die, but it is too difficult to change the thoughts in a person's mind and make him die voluntarily.

The king turned around and looked at Princess Arya, his eyes full of love.

"My daughter, you did a good job. I believe that your letter will become a bridge for us to coexist peacefully with the valley."

Princess Arya's heart was full of gratitude. She knew that her father finally understood the true wisdom.

Of course, this wisdom refers to the comparison of power between each other. Can you see this clearly?

Many people can't see it clearly.

Fortunately, her father saw it clearly.

…………

However, the nobles were very dissatisfied.

"TM, this damn king!" The Grand Duke was very unhappy.

"Yes, he actually gave up the pursuit of immortality. He is young, but we are already over 50 years old!"

The nobles in the Industrial Revolution did not live very long.

Death at the age of 60 is too common.

Many people even died in their forties or fifties.

The main reason was the lack of qualified medicines.

Some diseases can easily take away a person's lifespan.

"But we can't beat them." The housekeeper said in distress.

"Yes, we are not his opponent." His earl vassal said the same thing.

"Damn it, is there no other way?"

"Yes, in fact, they also lack foreign trade, right? Looking at the eyes of those people, you can tell that they really want pearls and treasures." Suddenly, one of his staff, a baron, said.

"Very good, I can see that too, then we will use the name of trade to slowly find out their details."

Unfortunately, their idea was very good.

But Zhao Han heard it.

Zhao Han was not surprised, this was just like the beginning of colonization.

Merchants, then find out the details of the other party, then rob, capture them as slaves, kill people, and take away the other party's land.
