Noble Emblem

Only after becoming a king will you know how hard it is to be a king, especially if you want to be a king who can achieve something.

Endless government affairs approval, endless overt and covert fights, various overt and covert interest disputes, as well as current national policies and development considerations, all were destroying the young king's nerves. Only then did he realize , When I was the eldest prince, my life was so carefree.

But now that we have reached this position, there is no way out.

The throne stands on the top of the mountain, surrounded by cliffs. You can only go up, but not down.

Once it falls, it will be smashed to pieces.

The king sat in the living room for a while and then saw the familiar young man walking over.

The other party nodded slightly in greeting to him, and then sat down.

"Even if you don't respect me in your heart, you still have to pretend to salute." The young king looked at the young man on the other side and said unhappily: "I gave you your territory."

Beta smiled and said: "I am now the Pope. Although I am still a small cult, I still represent the face of my goddess. If I salute you, it means that our religion surrenders to you. Your Majesty, do you think it is possible? ?”

"Yes, you are the pope now." The young king laughed at himself: "In terms of status, you are equal to me. This world is sometimes very unfair. For the throne, I gave up a lot of things, even the relationship between father and son. I gave up to everyone. The Fang forces promised many benefits and worked hard to get this position, and you... became the pope without saying a word, and you are also the kind of pope who is favored by the gods. You don't need to get your hands dirty, and people and people. Destiny is really different between people.”

Beta came here not to listen to the other party's complaints. He said helplessly: "Your Majesty, there are many people who envy you. Don't keep looking at me. In fact, sitting in my position is not easy."

The young king thought about it. In the eyes of the secular world, the pope and the king were equal, and they would probably encounter many things that would make them headaches and nausea. After all, there would definitely be no less conflicts of interest in a religious religion than in a kingdom.

After thinking about this, he felt much more comfortable.

If it were an ordinary pope, he would be just like the king and would be worried about many interests. But Beta was different. He was a lord first, then the pope, and most importantly, he was friends with Woking. , is an equal relationship.

Unlike other popes who would go to great lengths to please their own gods, Beta did not need to do such a thing.

And when he said it was not easy for him, he was just being humble.

But the king believed it and said with a smile: "That's right. Why did you come to me this time? Maybe it's because you want to kill me."

It looked like he was joking, but Beta could still hear a hint of seriousness in it. The latter chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, if you can remove several master assassins from the dark room, your words will be more convincing."

Even if he was exposed, the king said without changing his face: "You are a master-level strongman, and I am just an ordinary person. Of course I have to make some preparations to meet you alone. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, you come What do you want from me?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that some time ago, an army went to Esnes City and then suddenly disappeared."

His Majesty the King narrowed his eyes and said in an unfriendly tone: "Do you want to help Emma talk to me?"

Because the army sent by the king, without the ward Emma, ​​entered directly near the territory of Isnes, this in itself was an act of demonstration for its lord.

The king thought Beta came because of this incident.

Beta shook her head: "I don't want to deal with any minor disputes between you and Emma, ​​and I won't care about it, as long as it doesn't hurt her life. What I care about is the whereabouts and purpose of that troop."

"Since you don't care about the little dispute between Emma and me, what is your purpose?" The king's expression softened significantly: "Don't tell me, you want to be my military adviser?"

Politicians always speak like this, hiding something hidden in their words. Beta pretended not to understand the meaning of the king's words and said slowly: "I know the whereabouts and reasons of that army. After all, there is a demon kingdom below that place. I told you."

The king was silent for a while and said helplessly: "You also want to persuade me to stop sending more troops there?"

A trace of disdain and disappointment flashed in the king's eyes.

"No, on the contrary, I support your decision."

These words surprised the king. His originally droopy eyelids suddenly opened completely, and there was another strange light in his eyes.

"Why?"

"Because I can see that if the demons in that underground kingdom are not restricted, in one hundred or two hundred years, it will definitely be us humans who will suffer. The demons are very powerful, and they will get stronger the longer they live. When their numbers Once you reach a certain level, it’s unbeatable.”

"The strong demon clan is less than ten thousand, but if it is more than ten thousand, it will be invincible."

Beta laughed and said a famous quote from the game. Then he continued: "If they are chaotic evil demons, the more they number, the more fierce the internal fighting will be, the greater the self-consumption will be, and they will not pose a threat to us humans."

The king took a deep breath: "But the demons of the order-neutral system are different. They consume very little. One day the underground world will not be able to meet their survival resources. Then, the first one to bear the burden is our country, Huolaiwen." "

"I thought that there would be at least a few people who could understand this decision, but I didn't expect that except for you, other ministers and lords would all oppose it."

"Even if I put the truth in front of them, they won't listen."

The king's face was full of hatred.

"Because this is too far away for them. After all, it will happen one or two hundred years later. They are more concerned about the continuation of their family."

The king snorted: "But I have to guarantee the future of the Kingdom of Holevin... Speaking of which, you said you support me, how do you support me? Just verbal support?"

Looking at the king with a somewhat joking expression, Beta said: "Financial support. We, the Wealth God Cult, currently don't have many people and are not very good at fighting, so we will provide a military fund every six months, ranging from one thousand gold coins to two thousand." Wait, it depends on the situation. The specific usage is decided by Your Majesty, I won’t interfere anymore.”

The king was stunned for a while, and then said with half resentment and half helplessness: "Can you support one thousand to two thousand gold coins in half a year? Your religious sect is really rich. I, the king, may not be able to collect this amount in three years. "

Beta smiled: "After all, we are the Cult of Wealth, the goddess of business and wealth, Woking. Making money is the only thing we are good at."
