Raft Survival: Fished a mermaid at the beginning

Chapter 212
A group of beautiful dancers dance lightly in thin gauze dresses, their bodies are faintly visible, making people's blood pumping.

The old king still remembered that he had just drank the magic potion sent by Rasputin, and he seemed to have regained his youth.

Like a hungry wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, playing with these little rascals in the dark.

The war lasted for three days and three nights.

As a result, bags under the eyes drooped, cheeks sagged like bacon, backs ached, and gait was stiff.

Howard has never looked back on his 20th year as much as he does now.

At that time, I was handsome, personable, with beautiful and strong muscles, fascinated countless princesses and noble girls.

Now, with an empty frame and a heavy load all over his body, he looks like a zombie.

Golden magic flames were burning on the triangular fire frame in the palace, making the hall a little hot.

Howard took off his golden silk robe and opened his arms.

He was feeling a little depressed.

The main reason is that Oliver's hands are getting longer and longer.

He is obviously not a king yet, yet he dares to issue orders on his behalf.

He launched a war, captured the Garcia family, and even wanted to wipe out all the rebels.

Thinking of this, Howard felt a toothache.

Although he has few teeth.

When Oliver's brothers saw Rasputin, they were so scared that they almost peed in their pants, which made Howard feel deeply disappointed.

"A bunch of worthless things, the throne is right there, they don't dare to fight for it, they are giving Oliver an advantage in vain!"

"Hey! Perhaps, the next king can only be Oliver..."

Howard sighed and looked sadly.

He knew that Oliver, supported by Rasputin, had far more advantages than anyone else in the fight for the throne.

Howard didn't want to start any kind of war.

He fought countless battles when he was young and saw real hell.

I don't even want to attack Garcia's family.

There are fewer and fewer loyal courtiers like Garcia.

After all, he was old, one thing more than one thing less, so he wanted to leave safely.

There must be no storms in the kingdom.

Unfortunately it backfired.

What is the use of what he said?
In this country, the strongest is not the king, but the academy of magic.

Saruman doesn't care about world affairs, he likes to hide in the magic tower.

Gandalf doesn't like politics and likes traveling.

Neither of these men would meddle in kingdom affairs.

But Rasputin is markedly different.

With years of experience, Howard can see that Rasputin is an ambitious man.

Because his eyes are creepy.

It was a merciless, inhuman, maddening look.

And behind this gaze, there is something even more terrifying.

No one knew what Rasputin was planning.

Every time Howard saw Rasputin, he felt his head was about to go wrong.

While Howard's thoughts were wandering, a court servant ran up in small steps and knelt on the ground.

"A mission from a neighboring country has arrived."

"Oh!" Howard's eyes lit up, and he quickly put on the king's robe and the gold belt.

After Oliver launched the war, Howard knew that the situation was irreversible, so he wrote dozens of letters overnight and sent them to neighboring countries and friendly forces.

"Finally some good news!"

Howard reached out to take the towel handed by the maid, wiped his face, and walked out with a smile on his face.

A large group of princes and nobles dressed in colorful brocades walked into the hall.

Someone shouted from afar.

"Haha! Brother Howard, you are always strong and strong, and your prestige remains the same as before!"

Howard's eyes lit up, "Duke Sarah!"

Duke Sarah is a figure of his generation.

At that time, the two could not make a deal without fighting, and they became sworn friends.

He served as the head of the neighboring mission.

Howard opened his arms and hugged each other.

After embracing for a while, the two patted each other's backs again, kissed each other, and then let go.

Howard laughed and wiped his eyes.

"Our country is in trouble, and the war is imminent. I am so grateful that you will never leave me!"

Everyone smiled, nodded slightly, and their faces were full of sympathetic expressions.

Duke Sarah said: "That Xiao Yang killed His Royal Highness for no reason is already a serious crime. If we don't teach him a lesson, what face will we principalities have to gain a foothold in this ocean in the future?"

Everyone nodded and agreed.

"Yes! Grand Duke Sarah said it well!"

"We must teach the young people a lesson and let them understand that our island kingdoms are not to be trifled with!"

"Therefore!"

Everyone spoke righteously and had serious faces.

Howard beckoned and asked the maids to bring hot water and towels to welcome the distinguished guests.

Afterwards a grand banquet was arranged.

At the banquet, everyone was chatting happily.

At this time, someone's expression looked a little different.

He hesitated, but stood up anyway.

When Howard saw this person, he wondered, "Who is this guest?"

The person who came showed his identity.

"I am the special envoy of the Principality of Harrington, Duke Ted."

"Ted?" Howard was slightly taken aback.

He tried his best to adjust the focus, and vaguely saw some familiar looks from this person.

"What's your relationship with Mick?" Howard asked.

Ted bowed his head and saluted gracefully.

"It's my father. My father passed away ten years ago, so he doesn't live as long as the old king."

Howard was touched by the scene and sighed lowly.

"Mick is a good boy! He was called my uncle back then, he was only 60 years old, why did he die so young!"

Howard was sentimental.

Ted's eyes were full of emotion, and he said: "My father often mentioned your heroic deeds to me, let me learn from you."

King Howard was moved: "Oh, I like Mick. If he were my child, I would definitely let him be the king. It's a pity that your king didn't choose him in the end. I'm old now, and I will be the world of your young people in the future Don't learn from me anymore! You can create your own heroic deeds!"

Although Howard spoke generously and movingly.

However, facing a group of young and energetic princes, I feel extremely bitter in my heart.

It's okay for me to be in power, but if I leave, can Oliver really support the whole country?
Wouldn't he become Rasputin's puppet?
At this time, Howard was even a little envious of his neighbors.

After all, magic schools are not opened in these countries.

After the children of neighboring countries finish their studies, they will no longer be bound by the academy when they return home.

Howard and Ted chatted a few more interesting things about his father, and the atmosphere became much warmer.

At this time, Ted's expression became very formal.

"King Howard, when I came to the palace, I learned from the discussions of the guards that your country will hold a large-scale hanging at twelve o'clock at noon."

"And I heard recently that there are rebels in your country. Can you tell us the actual situation in your country?"

"After all there's a big war coming up and we're probably all on the same boat."

After Ted finished speaking, the banquet was silent, and all the princes turned their attention to Howard.

Howard heard this and doubts flashed in his eyes.

There was a mass hanging at noon, but I didn’t even know it!

Damn Oliver bypassed himself and gave the order privately!
Howard had a toothache.
