honor me as god

Chapter 542 The Sixth Leader
"Squeak..." There was a friction sound as the door opened, and then it closed gently, returning to calm.

Perseus looked at the person who came, and pointed to the seat prepared by the bed: "Sit down."

Kino sat down, quietly waiting for the king's next words.

Perseus opened the bedside table, took out a beautiful small wooden box, opened it, took out a Dogolande specialty cigarette, and motioned to Kino to ask, "Do you smoke?"

Chino shook his head.

Perseus opened the lower drawer again, took out a bottle of jade wine wrapped in clear crystal, and gestured again: "Do you want to drink?"

Chino still shook his head.

Perseus was speechless, and couldn't help muttering: "You are a big man, you don't smoke, you don't drink alcohol, you don't approach women, and you don't even have a rumored lover. What do you usually like to do like an ascetic?"

Chino: "Eat candy, read books, and play the piano."

Perseus laughed angrily, and said helplessly: "There are many people in the history of Dogrand who have been dubbed "Death God". Regardless of appearance or habits, you are definitely the most elegant one among these people. "

After Perseus finished speaking, he didn't invite Kino again, he just took out a cup from the drawer, filled it with jade wine and drank it down, then lit a cigarette with a fire, and just sat on the edge of the bed and smoked.

If this is not the royal palace, if Perseus is not wearing the royal nightgown, this philistine looks a bit like those boring old men on the side of the road.

Perseus was puffing on the cigarette, wondering if it was cool, so he couldn't help being smart, he slowly exhaled the smoke ring, and said calmly, "I haven't drank or smoked like this for a long, long time."

"When I was young, I was an old smoker. Later, the doctor told me that smoking was bad for my health, so I tried every means to get me to quit. My wife said that I smoked all day, which made the children in the family cough all the time, and she kept me in control. My daughter also said that my father She smells like cigarettes all over her body, so she doesn't want to hug me, and she will hug me when I don't smell any more."

"That's how I quit smoking—by force. They thought I threw away all my cigarettes, but in fact I hid them in a dark drawer. Sometimes I really wanted to take a sip, but I was afraid of being smelled. Just hold back."

Perseus exhaled smoke and looked at the burning cigarette at his fingertips with great interest: "Do you think it's very subtle? The whole kingdom belongs to me, and I have thousands of troops under my command. Any order can affect hundreds of thousands of people. Ten thousand lives and deaths, I can do everything I wish, but I can't smoke."

Chino smiled slightly, and jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll go out and sue?"

Perseus shook his head slowly: "You won't file a complaint."

Chino: "Why?"

"Because you can't benefit from it." Perseus looked at Kino through the lingering smoke, and said with great interest, "This is your way of doing things, isn't it? Do what is good for you and avoid those who don't. Good thing."

Chino: "Most of the time."

Perseus: "So there are exceptions?"

Kino's pupils are unfathomable, only strange: "I am a human being, not an instrument. It is impossible for you to keep me sane all the time 365 days a year. So, yes, there are exceptions." when."

Perseus nodded, agreeing, after all, he himself just did something irrational.

Suddenly, Kino changed the subject: "When shall I leave?"

Perseus didn't feel that the topic change was abrupt, he just smoked a cigarette silently and smiled shortly: "Look, this is why many people are afraid of you—you always know what others are thinking."

Kino smiled softly: "The ministers of the entire palace are guarding you outside, but you are the first to summon me alone, you can only ask me to take over the affairs of Danyu City, you can't just let me come in to watch you smoke a cigarette , let’s chat by the way.”

Perseus flicked the cigarette ash, stared deeply at Chino: "So, are you mentally prepared?"

Chino: "Do you need to be mentally prepared for this kind of thing?"

Perseus fell silent, and finally smiled with approval and mockery: "I forgot, you are the god of death."

Chino's tone became playful: "I'm just curious, there are so many talents out there waiting to work, why do you insist on choosing me?"

Perseus: "When the matter has developed to this point, you and I know very well that a large part of the more than 600 million people in Danyu City will be sacrificed. To complete this matter, a courageous person and a heart are needed. A person harder than iron, I don't think anyone is more suitable than you."

A vague smile appeared on Kino's face: "I'm afraid it's more than that? The current Danyu City is a purgatory. Those who stay in it will suffer, and those who go will also suffer."

"If you can't get things done, you will end up like Bolton. You will lose your authority and fall from your previous position."

"If the matter is done, you will end up with the image of a butcher among the people, and your reputation will be ruined. From now on, the people will have no hearts."

"Lan Xian, Sting, the governors said that there are many people who are more suitable for this matter than me, but you chose me. This is actually protecting them in disguise. You don't want them to fall into that kind of dilemma. Situation."

"As for me, an outsider, and also the Grim Reaper in everyone's eyes, I have a high probability of being able to accomplish this. Popular support? What does an outsider want popular support? If you lose your reputation, you will lose your reputation. It is better for the people to hate me than to hate other ministers."

Kino's amber eyes were so deep that it was difficult to see the bottom, as if he could penetrate people's hearts: "You think so, don't you?"

Perseus was not surprised at all, and his tone was very calm: "As I said, that's why everyone is afraid of you."

Kino shrugged his shoulders, with a smile as usual on his face: "Thank you very much for your candor, then let's talk about the real business—how will you reward me after the matter is accomplished?"

Perseus's expression became a little displeased: "You came here to ask for a reward before the matter is done?"

Chino smiled and said, "It's true that the matter hasn't been done yet, but when you decide to leave this matter to me, you can foresee the end."

"You don't have to worry about me exaggerating, don't worry about the process, don't ask about the means, as long as you give me a blank handbook like you did to Bolton, and give me the right to do whatever I want, I will definitely be able to do it."

"The crux of the problem now is, what rewards will you give to make up for the loss of my reputation after the event is accomplished? You can't call me into the palace, set up a table of banquets, and just pretend nothing happened after the celebration, right?"

Perseus' face obviously turned cold: "Are you bargaining with me?"

Intentionally or unintentionally, Kino stroked his waist, where the sword given by Perseus was tied, and he showed a meaningful smile: "If you expect a sword to help you do meritorious service, you must sharpen it, and a blunt sword will become No big deal."

"Equality, as much credit as there is, there will be as much reward, you said it yourself, didn't you?"

"That's right, this is my promise to you, a promise that will never change." The coldness on Perseus's face faded slowly, replaced by a sly smile with deep meaning.

Perseus motioned for Kino to come over, and the latter leaned forward.

Perseus put his arms around Kino's shoulders, his sharp eyes were like unsheathed sharp blades: "Help me handle the matter of Danyu City, your "Helsing" family will become the sixth royal family, and you, too He will become the sixth current king leader. "
