honor me as god

Chapter 230 The Future Life
Heroes only want to be mortals at first. —— "I Am the Flame"

When he was in the royal city before, through conversations with Sting, Chino learned that the chief bishop of the Scarlet Church intends to marry the royal family, let his son marry Solandelle, and use this to form a political bond.

For the veterinary disease that broke out 27 years ago, in 486 of the Huo Calendar, there is no cure so far. Only salt crystals can purify the epidemic area, but to suppress the infectivity of infected people, the only way is to rely on "purified blood" blood therapy .

As for the secret recipe of purifying blood, the royal family has never been able to master it.

Perseus has gone through the road of intimidating and luring the Scarlet Church, and even threatening to kill him, but failed.

The royal family had threatened by force, and if they refused to hand over the blood therapy, they would drive the church to extinction. What they got was the strong resistance of the church's epidemic doctors. They even threatened to cut off the supply of purified blood, causing panic among the people.

In those few years, the kingdom was precarious due to the animal epidemic, and the regime was unstable. The royal family was worried that intensified conflicts would lead to civil uprisings, and finally had to make a compromise. The two sides sat down to discuss cooperation.

In the end, the Scarlet Church agreed to fully assist in the control of the animal epidemic, and the royal family promised to give special treatment to the church's epidemic doctors, which led to the later signing of the "Church Special Asylum Law" - as a privileged class, epidemic doctors do not need to kneel to any nobles; Those who hurt the plague doctor do not need to be handed over to the local court, and can be directly tried by the church, even if the epidemic doctor breaks the law.

Although one of the royal families, the "Hetch Family", has been secretly exploring the principle of blood therapy, trying to help the royal family get rid of this bondage, but the learned alchemists have never found anything, and they can't figure out the mystery of the purified blood. Find other ways to control the epidemic.

Therefore, the Scarlet Church is an indispensable existence for Dogrand. Once the purifying blood provided by the church is lost, and the animal epidemic breaks out and spreads again, it will be a disaster for the country.

This also means that even if Perseus is a king and loves his little daughter, he has to make a compromise before the safety of the kingdom.

Solandelle's marriage to the archbishop's son was a sure thing—at least for now.

But obviously, Perseus never told Solandelle about it, maybe because of guilt, he didn't know how to speak.Or maybe it's because she thinks that Solandelle is still young and doesn't want her to bear this kind of pressure too early.

Kino didn't know what to say, so he just picked two more apples, handed one to Solan, and ate the other by himself.

"Crack." Kino took a bite of the apple, but suddenly frowned.

Why is it not as sweet as before?
Kino ate the not-so-sweet apple in silence, and began to insinuate quietly: "Solan, if I say that if, for some reason, you have to marry someone you don't like in the future, you will accept yourself fate?"

Hearing the sound, Lorna was the first to get anxious: "Then I will ride Fei Ye and kill Solan and snatch Solan back! As long as she doesn't like it, even if the other party is the Sun King!"

Solandelle looked at Chino with some doubts: "No, why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

Kino said lightly: "It's just a casual question, there is no special meaning."

Solandelle didn't think too deeply. She raised her head and looked up at the starry sky, saying to herself, "This is a situation. For example, if I was kidnapped and robbed back to the mountain by bandits, if I want to be his wife, then of course I won't accept it." Ah, I'd rather kill myself than suffer that insult."

Solandelle pursed her lips, and her tone became longer and longer: "But if my father wants to do this, and it's for the kingdom, I will accept my fate."

Kino was slightly taken aback, thinking that Solandelle knew something, his eyes narrowed unconsciously: "What do you mean by that?"

Solandelle tilted her head naively: "For example, I said for example——the Far East invaded again in the future, and we lost the battle. In order to quell the war and keep the people of the kingdom away from the flames of war, my father had to accept marriage. You want to marry me far away to Gyeonggi."

"At that time, I will not have any complaints, because this is the responsibility of the royal heirs. Whether it is a prince or a princess, everyone must contribute to the kingdom and the people."

Lorna has a strong sense of substitution, and there are pictures in her mind, so she kept buttoning on the grass in a hurry: "No way! No way! As long as Regnome is here, as long as I am here, the dragon will not let Laurel be affected. Any damage! Our dragon's breath will burn all over the battlefield! We will never go that far!"

Solandelle was amused, jumped on Lorna, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say 'like', why are you so excited~"

After hearing this, Lorna seemed to be amused by her own clumsiness, and rubbed the back of her head with a smirk.

Only Kino knows that this is not a joke, something similar is happening, and it will happen in 4 years, it is like a torrent, no one can stop it.

At least it seems so now.

Solandelle and Lorna lay on the grass looking at the stars together, and said sadly: "Actually, since I was very young, I didn't like my princess status. I just want to be an ordinary person."

Chino: "How?"

"Because... the princess is not free. Like now, lying directly on the lawn like this is never allowed in the palace. Father will think that I am like a wild child, and he will pick me up and scold me." Solandelle stretched out The little hand opened above his head, as if he wanted to grasp the bright starry sky, "How wonderful are ordinary people, there are not so many rules, no restrictions, you can eat whatever you want, lie down wherever you want, and what time you think Go to bed when you sleep."

"If I were an ordinary person, I could always lie on the lawn like I am now. I don't have to worry about the ancient prose tomorrow, and I don't have to learn those tiring abacus calculations. If I want to look at the stars, I can just raise my head at any time!"

"As we speak, there are still so many people in the world, like me, looking up at the same starry sky. This feeling is amazing!"

Kino smiled, no matter common people or nobles, the world of little girls is usually very simple, and most of their wishes are like this.

Some people have been innocent all their lives and have always been a silly girl.

There are also some people who are constantly changing because of reality, and eventually fall into the secular world.

No one can predict what will happen next.

As soon as she talked about her ideal, Lorna suddenly became interested: "I am different from Solan. I don't want to be an ordinary person, I want to be a big shot! My ideal is to beat up Denisa and become the king's blade!"

After hearing this, Kino smiled helplessly: "What kind of enmity do you have with Denisa? Why do you always want to hit her?"

"You don't understand! My mother used to be King's Blade. After she died, the villain Denisa stepped in and took her title away!" Lorna clenched her fists when she said this, with a rather serious expression on her face. for outrage.

Kino was a little puzzled: "Your mother was the sixth sequence of natural disasters before she was alive, and Denisa was later the seventh sequence of red wheels, and is also the number one strongest in Dogland today. She will inherit your mother's title of King's Blade. Nothing unreasonable, right?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lorna was very resentful, and she thumped on the grass while talking: "Huh, it's not a question of being strong or not! Let me tell you, you don't know her well. Denisa doesn't drink every day. Just sleep, I can sleep up to 20 hours a day, by God! 20 hours! Pigs can’t sleep like that! Is this the King’s Blade, or the King’s Pillow?!”

"My mother was dedicated to her duties during her lifetime. She spent her whole life sharing the worries of the kingdom and solving the problems of the people. What about Denisa? She has no sense of responsibility! There is a war on the border, and I have never seen her make a move. It was Solan's brother Bolton who went to quell it. Usually on duty, she also thinks of ways to escape, just to get a few more hours of sleep."

"There are also patrols in the city. You haven't seen this person go too far! Last time she saw someone fighting on the street, not only did she not stop it, but she also mobilized and watched from the sidelines, and even set up a banker for everyone to bet on which side would win. This kind of person is an insult to my mother!"

Solandelle patted Lorna's head and comforted: "But Denisa is really strong, the red wheel of the seventh sequence! The title of King's Blade has always been given to the strongest, this is the rule, there is no way of."

After Lorna heard this, she became more and more angry: "Chilun? Oh, isn't it that sword skills are better than humans? What's the big deal? I started fighting with her when I was 4 years old, and I fought with her so many times. I can't beat her, but I can feel that her strength is completely exaggerated."

"Let's just talk about her shortcomings, I can find a lot of them casually - too much drinking leads to slow reaction, perennial drowsiness, lack of concentration, lack of training, floating steps, bad attitude and often taking it lightly. As long as I suffer After practicing for a few years, it will be a matter of time to defeat her!"

Chino: "So confident?"

Lorna said confidently: "Of course! My heads-up record with Denisa is 69:823. I told her last time that I will practice hard and stop annoying her until I become stronger. Wait a minute In the next duel, I will change the score to 70:823, and I will take back the title of King's Blade with my own hands!"

Kino didn't know Denisa's strength, so he didn't say much, and asked casually, "If you really beat her in the future and become the new King's Blade, what are you going to do?"

"And then?" Lorna said stupidly, "There is no more, what should I do?"

Kino smiled helplessly, Lorna is not ideal, but just an obsession.

He thought for a while and said, "Lorna, your father is the left hand of the king. Although I don't know Sting well, under normal circumstances, he should really want to train you to be a qualified general, and even hopes that you will be the leader." Take his place as head of the army."

Lorna snorted heavily, and her tone was rather indignant: "I have my own life, what does he want, what does it matter to me? The person I hate the most in my life is him! That year... If he didn't do that kind of thing Neither will my mother"

"Hmph! Anyway, I don't do what he wants me to do! Everything goes against him! I'm happy when he's sad! I'm happy when he's angry!"

Chino didn't expect that Lorna was actually a rebellious girl, but she said that Sting did "that kind of thing", which means.
Kino glanced at Solandelle, who shook his head at him, signaling not to pursue further questions, so he ignored those words on purpose, and casually helped Sting with a few words: "I have talked with Sting a few times, and I feel that He is not a bad person, you are his only daughter, if you hate him so much, he will be very sad as a father."

Lorna suddenly got excited: "It's good to be sad! I wish he could be sad! Chino, don't be fooled by my dad's appearance, this man is actually very mean! He asked me to do this and that since he was a child, and put me on him. If I don’t listen, he will scold me and beat me!”

"As for me, you also know that it is impossible to convince me with fists! The more he hits me, the more I refuse to accept it, and the more I want to turn against him. I don't know how many fights I have had with him at home!"

When Lorna said this, she looked a little smug: "He is now in his prime, and I can't beat him. But it's okay, he will grow old! When he is old and can't shake his fist, I will fight every day Go beat him! Drag him out of the hospital bed and beat him until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen! Just like he used to beat me!"

"Then you are really loving fathers and filial daughters!" Kino couldn't help but laugh and laugh, and he didn't know what kind of outrageous thing Sting did to make his only daughter hate him to such an extent.

Solandelle blinked and asked curiously: "No, we've talked so much, what about you? What is your ideal?"

"Alive." Kino's answer was without thinking, but he felt that it was very inaccurate, so he added, "It's interesting to live."

Solandelle and Lorna looked at each other, and asked curiously, "What does it mean to live interestingly?"

Kino looked at the night, as if he was looking at an existence outside the galaxy, and the corners of his lips slowly raised a sharp arc: "It's just like now."

"Hmm, I don't understand~" Lorna shook her head carelessly.

Solandelle's eyes rolled, as if she had an idea, she grabbed Kino's hand with her left hand, and Lorna's hand with her right hand, stacked them together, and smiled sweetly: "Let's make a wish to the gods together!"

Kino and Lorna said in unison: "Make a wish?"

Solandelle's pupils reflected the light under the moon, clear and pure: "The three of us are friends, and we will always be as good as we are now!"

Lorna booed excitedly without thinking: "Okay! I agree!"

This time, it was Kino who was silent.

For a person without empathy, friendship does not exist, just like love and family affection.

When Kino met Solandelle for the first time, he told her that he had wolves, cats, dogs, superiors, subordinates, and business partners, but he had no friends.

This is not a question of whether you want to make friends, or whether you want to make friends, but that you cannot understand its existence, just like three-dimensional humans cannot understand four-dimensional space.

At this time, Kino withdrew his hand calmly, and said silently: "Out of politeness, I should cater to you now and not spoil the atmosphere. But I think it's time to clarify some things."

Solandelle felt that the atmosphere was not right, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

Kino: "Little princess, I know you regard me as a friend, and I don't resist it. But you should remember that when we first met, I told you that I never had friends."

"It's not because of my withdrawn personality, but because I can't understand the relationship of friends. If I can't understand it, it means that it has no meaning for me. Can you understand what I mean?"

Solandelle hurriedly said: "It's easy to understand. Like we are now, we are friends! When Lorna and I run out to play, we will be the first to think of you. When you meet us, you will also welcome us generously. That's what friends are."

Chino: "For me, receiving guests is a necessary courtesy. No matter who comes, even if Grab says he wants to stay for dinner, I will cook for him myself."

Solandelle pursed her lips with a disappointed expression: "You mean, you don't want to be friends with me?"
