King's Feast

The spiritual practitioners from the Hall of All Souls came a few days late.

"His Majesty."

Wu Zhao had just finished a fight with the green team due to a chance encounter. The unequal strength prevented her from having fun at all, and she fell down and howled on the opposite side before stretching her muscles.

Wu Zhao, who was standing among the "corpses" lying on the ground: ...you are here to touch Cizhen, right?Didn't you do it first? You can't do it before I have exercised my muscles and bones, is it plausible? ?

Wu Zhao returned to Barbara with a face full of speechlessness. Just as he was about to open the door with low air pressure, he heard someone calling him.

When she turned around, she saw the Secretariat spiritual practitioner in black military uniform not far away, bowing to her.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, your friend Zhou Fangzun intervened in the treatment of the Hall of All Souls and has successfully recovered his normal human physiological functions. I came this time to conduct an examination for Mr. Zhou Fangzun to make sure everything is safe."

When Wu Zhao walked into the bar, Anna was leaning next to Zhou Fangzun, quietly enjoying the time with Zhou Fangzun.After losing and recovering, Anna has been a little clingy to Zhou Fangzun in recent days, which makes Zhou Fangzun helpless but can only pamper her, letting Anna follow wherever she goes.

Seeing the strange young man in uniform walking in after Wu Zhao, Anna jumped off the high stool reflexively, opened her arms to protect Zhou Fangzun, and pursed her lips nervously.

Although she didn't know who the strange young man was, she knew his uniform—like Qing Ya, it came from the Hall of All Souls to which His Majesty belonged.

That can do things that even the Dresden slate can't do, it can make His Majesty a thousand years ago appear in front of her and make an oath with her, it can give Dodora a glimmer of hope, and it can save the Hall of All Souls.

Anna is quite afraid of the visitors to the Hall of All Souls. Wei Zheng's harshness and inhumanity made her realize that the mysterious Hall of All Souls is by no means a kind charity organization.

Since they can bring Zun back, they can also... take Zun away.

"Anna."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's not only me, Wu Zhao is also here."

Zhou Fangzun pressed Anna's hair from behind with his warm palm, and patted it soothingly.He landed on his straight long legs, got up from the high stool and walked towards the spiritual practitioner behind Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao tilted his head slightly, his sharp eyes flicked across the spiritual practitioner, full of warning.

The spiritual cultivator smiled wryly, then stepped forward, and checked Zhou Fangzun sternly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the problem Miss Kuanming Anna worried about will never happen—how dare I lie in front of an emperor? Shang Yang The grown-ups will tear me apart."

"Don't worry, it's just a routine inspection. Because Mr. Zhou Fangzun had previously possessed the power of the Dresden Slab in the present world, he was able to preserve his body and soul under the unfolding of Your Majesty's Noble Phantasm. If you want to strip away all the power, only keep A human body is bound to be full of pain. I am here this time to avoid Mr. Zhou Fangzun's sequelae."

Wu Zhao just nodded casually, turned around and waved at Anna, and comforted Anna who came trotting into his arms.

Kusanagi Izumo, who had been watching silently by the side, flashed his lenses, staring closely at the movement of the spiritual practitioner.He was turning the lighter in his hand, and the beautiful flame would occasionally ignite, as if there was something wrong with the spiritual practitioner, he would act immediately.

The spiritual cultivator had a panoramic view of the situation in the bar, and Wu Zhao's gaze that drifted over from time to time made him break out in a fine cold sweat.

——The silent awe from the emperor.

"Mr. Zhou Fangzun, congratulations, you have fully acquired the identity of a human being." The spiritual practitioner smiled and stepped aside: "But please pay attention—since you have chosen to survive as a human being, you can no longer use any human beings category power."

The spiritual cultivator paused, looked at Wu Zhao and emphasized with a smile: "Any power belonging to a heroic spirit or the Hall of All Souls is not acceptable."

——So, Your Majesty, don't bother these poor spiritual practitioners anymore.Really, the immediate boss is very strict and will be torn apart.

Wu Zhao looked back suspiciously: "Why are you looking at me? I'm not such a willful person."

As soon as these words came out, not only the spiritual cultivator, but also Zhou Fangzun and other Barbarian members in the bar all silently looked at Wu Zhao.

…… Obviously no one is more capricious than you.

Kusanagi Izumo, who was still hostile to the spiritual practitioner just now, thought of Wu Zhao's waywardness, and couldn't help but cast a pitiful look at the spiritual practitioner: Brother, you have suffered.

Spiritualist: ......

Wu Zhao:? ? ?angry!

·

"Whether it's ten bunches of tatara or Zhou Fangzun, why don't you go and confirm it with your own eyes?" Munakata Reisi said, standing up.

He hooked the corners of his lips, looked at Seri Awashima with a half-smile, and said, "Let's go, Awashima, let's go to Barbara and see what the truth is."

Seri Awashima immediately responded seriously: "Yes!"

But when Munakata Reiji walked out of the headquarters with a team of young team members, he saw that surprisingly familiar figure at the gate of the headquarters from a distance.

Reiji Munakata pushed his glasses, and a sharp light reflected from the lens: "It's really surprising, Qing Ya, you who followed His Majesty standing on the barbara's side, unexpectedly ran to the headquarters of Scepter4."

"I don't know what's important for you to come to our Scepter4-you and I know it well, so don't use the suit you're used to. Go straight to the point, I don't have time to play with you."

Qing Ya's slender body leaned against the gate, he stretched out his hand, pulled off the tie of the black military uniform, and slowly stood up straight with a sneer.

"Ah... Originally, I wanted to save some face between each other, so that it wouldn't be so embarrassing. But I didn't expect you, King Qing, to be impatient."

He shrugged his shoulders: "Sure enough, just as my Majesty expected, after receiving the recent behavior analysis report of Bard Wuluo, your first reaction, Prince Qing, was to go to Bark Wuluo."

Qing Ya smiled lazily, but put his palm on the long sword at his waist: "--by the order of His Majesty, to prevent Qing Wang Zongxiang Lisi from going to Baruwuluo."

Awashima Seri, who was following Munakata Reishi, changed his expression, took a step forward, and stood in front of Munakata Reishi as a guard.

Behind Reisi Munakata, the members of the blue team also tensed up, staring at Qing Ya, ready to attack at any time.

After a moment of silence, Munakata Reisi smiled confidently, and raised his hand to push the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"So, it's Zhou Fangzun, isn't it?"

Qing Ya's eyes widened slightly in an instant, but he immediately hid his emotions well, and still looked at the other party with a smile.

Munakata Reishi sneered: "Since your majesty can predict my actions, he can also predict it. When I see you, I can guess who is hidden in the bar by your majesty. Qingya, you It's too late to hide the truth."

As Munakata Reiji's voice fell, the false expression on Qingya's face slowly disappeared, leaving only the cold guarded gaze in the blue eyes.

Aoya's cold and serious face made Seri Awashima, who was standing in front of Munakata Reishi and facing him, realize very clearly for the first time—this man who has been smiling, in fact, has never smiled.

This man seemed to block all the voices in the world, and he indifferently rejected the voices and emotions passing by him.He walks alone in this world, but he is not of this world.

Like a loyal warrior, he dedicated all his faith and strength to his lord.

He will only obey that majesty, and will only express emotions because of that majesty.And whether it was her or the king, to him, it was just the dust that fell on the military uniform temporarily, and he could reach out and brush it off at any time.

And at that time, no matter how deep the previous feelings and experiences were, they would only be torn off by him mercilessly, and then turned around and ran towards that majesty.

Smile is a mask, etiquette is resistance, this man named Qingya has only a pair of blue eyes that are true indifference.

This realization made Awashima Seri feel cold, and he gripped the handle of the saber tightly.She unconsciously took a step and kicked the stone aside with her boots, making a slight sound.Immediately, the two who were silently confronting each other looked over.

Munakata Reisi looked sideways and frowned slightly: "Awashima."

Seri Awashima was startled, quickly recovered, and removed his hand from the handle of the knife.She bowed slightly to salute, then quickly retreated behind Munakata Reishi.

Qingya's gaze followed Awashima Seri all the time. He looked at Awashima Seri inquiringly for a moment, and suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Ah? Did I scare this beautiful lady?"

He put on his smiling and amiable face again, his tone was sweet and soft, but his words were merciless: "I'm sorry, Ms. Awashima~ I have clearly considered other people's feelings very thoughtfully, and faced you with such a cute appearance Yes, but why do you want to get to the bottom of it? It’s a pitiful headache. If His Majesty knows that I frightened such a beautiful lady..."

Qing Ya pretended to be frightened, "hissed" and shook her body in fear: "Then it might be another beating from Lord Shangguan."

Seri Awashima: ...Oh.

indifferent.

Munakata Reisi waved his hand, making the members of the youth group, who were facing a formidable enemy behind them, retreat.Seri Awashima looked at him worriedly, but he also shook his head and refused.

He took a few steps forward slowly, and under Qing Ya's watchful and cold eyes, he smiled softly: "Qing Ya, what is the original order of His Majesty?"

Qing Ya blinked, and hesitantly said in puzzlement: "Stop Qing Wang Zongxiang Lisi..."

"That's right." Reisi Munakata nodded: "That His Majesty just didn't allow "Reiser Munakata" to go to Baruwuluo, but he didn't say that Reiser Munakata was not allowed to go."

"I went to Barbara alone, as Munakata Reishi and not as the king of blue."

Munakata Reisi had the chance to win, and the situation was calm.

And Qingya.

Qing Ya: ...Yes, is it?

……

The spiritual cultivator withdrew the spiritual power that was scattered in the bar, and after completing the task of inspecting Zhou Fangzun, he smiled and bowed to Wu Zhao to resign.

However, the moment the spiritual practitioner pushed open the door of the bar, the scene outside the door came into the eyes of everyone in Barbara.Misaki Hatta, who reacted most violently, immediately put up a defensive posture with her fur all over her body like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

Kusanagi Izumo, who was still smiling just now, also turned cold. The lighter twirled between his fingers, lighting the flames from time to time, reminding the other party with strength not to act rashly.

Only Wu Zhao and Zhou Fangzun, who were sitting next to each other on the high stools in front of the bar, did not react in any unnecessary way when they saw the person coming.

Wu Zhao leaned lazily against the bar, turned around and looked at Reisi Munakata standing outside the door, and after a while, laughed, "Oh, Munakata, you're still here."

Zhou Fangzun put the cigarette out in the ashtray, he raised his eyelids, and looked over with his light golden eyes half-opened.

Qing Ya shrank and bent over, the dog pawed at the door cowardly, trying to shrink himself infinitely behind the door, so that Wu Zhao couldn't see him.

But when Wu Zhao looked over, he had no choice but to stand up straight again, coughed to cover up, and tried to explain: "Your Majesty, I didn't disobey your order, it's just...just, this..."

"Shut up." Wu Zhao couldn't bear to look directly at his stupid look, and rolled his eyes.

"Yes Your Majesty, good Your Majesty, shut up now. Immediately!"

Qing Ya made a movement of zipping up her mouth, and ran from the door to the outside as if fleeing.

Then, Reji Munakata standing behind him was revealed.

Munakata Reishi stood at the door of Barbara, separated by a door, it seemed to be two different worlds.

The sun was warm and bright inside the door, and the man who should have died sat beside Wu Zhao intact.

But outside the door, he stood here alone, the sun piercing his back, and it was extremely cold.

"Zhou Fangzun..." Munakata Reishi murmured softly, "How is this possible. You should be dead... If you are still alive, why didn't the Scarlet King Sword fall to the ground?"

Wu Zhao picked up the crystal wine glass at hand, and the ice cubes in the whiskey amber liquid hit lightly, with a crisp sound.

She tilted her head, her arrogance of course: "With me here, why did I fall to the ground. Munakata, don't underestimate me——"

"I am Wu Zhao—I am the rule, I am the sun and the moon."

……

【Emperor Monument Without False Merits and Demerits】

Amidst the out-of-control flames burning all over the sky, Zhou Fangzun lighted the last cigarette in his life easily and comfortably, then smiled and opened his arms towards Wu Zhao.

"Hey, Wu Zhao, if you don't hurry up, the king sword on my head will fall."

"You have been an emperor like this, and even a person who has continued the prosperous age, you will not know what will happen if the falling sword touches the ground-you will die."

His golden eyes were calm, with a little fear or hesitation in his brows: "The land you are standing on, everyone in this city you have seen, and even this country... will cease to exist after the sword falls."

Wu Zhao stood not far away with gloomy brows and eyes.

"It's despicable, my lord. It's the land you should protect, and it's your subjects who are your duty, but now they all want to escape, and then throw the responsibility on me?"

Zhou Fangzun coughed twice with a smile: "No, it is because I know you are there that I can entrust everything to you with confidence. Over the years, I still know you. You will not just let Wang Jian Fallen sword, casualties all over the place."

Looking at Wu Zhao who was still angry, Zhou Fangzun lowered his hands helplessly, and sighed, "I'm sorry, Zhao, I'm such a wayward king."

"It seems that until the end, they couldn't use this red power to protect anything like Ten Beams of Hope."

The king's sword hanging high in the sky was on the verge of shattering, and electric currents and fragments were suspended and flashed high in the sky.After the last few flashes, Wang Jian was completely dimmed.

then.

"boom--!"

Without the restraint of strength, Wang Jian began to fall slowly from high altitude.

And faster and faster, faster and faster...

Zhou Fangzun stared at Wu Zhao with a smile on his face, but he was not at all worried about what would happen to Wang Jian if he was rejected by Wu Zhao.

After a long time, Wu Zhao suddenly sneered: "Heh, speaking of willfulness, is it possible that I am some kind of emperor who strictly abides by morality?"

She raised her head, and the hurricane created by the rapidly descending Wang Jian was too violent, blowing her hair hanging from her temples, and making her skin feel a little pain.

Wu Zhao's face turned cold, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and sharp like knives.

"I also want to see, who dares to disobey Yuqian! How dare he be so arrogant in front of me!"

Golden light gushed out from behind her, so brilliant that it was impossible to look directly at it.

The golden dragon swam around, suddenly circled upwards and charged at Fallen Sword!

EX-rank Noble Phantasm, open——

The domineering force quietly swept the surroundings, forming an impenetrable barrier, a world of its own.

Among them, all the power of false eulogy was stripped away, and the sword of Damocles hanging above the head of the king lost all the power and rules endowed by the Dresden Stone Tablet, and only returned to its original appearance .

——It exists as a vigilant allusion [Sword of Damocles].

Under the tyrannical crushing of the treasure, the fallen sword, which could have caused hundreds of thousands or even more tragic deaths, could not even resist, so it dispersed into a wisp of mist, rising and dissipating in the air.

Zhou Fangzun raised his head and watched the whole process, then he lowered his head and smiled at Wu Zhao easily and recklessly: "It seems that this is the end, Zhao, thank you."

"Then, bye."

Wu Zhao's sharp eyes shot straight at him like lightning: "Who gave you the right to say goodbye to me without my permission? Do you want to disobey the emperor!"

Zhou Fangzun didn't expect Wu Zhao's reaction to be so big, so he had no choice but to show her his situation: "Although Wang Jian has dissipated, I have also lost all my strength, and I cannot bear the reaction of killing the evil king."

He shook his head helplessly: "I know that I am not a strict and shrewd king, but even so, I am very clear that from the moment I choose to kill the evil king, no matter how I change, my end has been determined. gone."

"Today, here, is my tomb made of fire and wrath."

Wu Zhao raised his head coldly, with disdain for the authority of life and death in his eyes.

"I said, you want to live."

"—Whether it's becoming a heroic spirit, or reshaping the body to become a pure human being, Zhou Fangzun, I won't allow you to die."

……

Munakata Reisi's eyes widened in shock, struggling to digest the huge amount of information that Wu Zhao sent.It took a long time before I managed to sort it out, and raised my hand to push the glasses that had slipped off the bridge of my nose back up.

"The Hall of All Souls, the Heroic Spirits... are different from the Dresden Slab that still relies on humans. This is already crushing all the established rules, and it exists like a monster."

"And you, you don't even care about the boundary between life and death. You are so arrogant and arrogant!"

Wu Zhao raised his head in displeasure: "Munakata, don't ask me with the moral standards of ordinary human beings."

"Sorry, I'm being rude."

Munakata Reisi turned his eyes to Zhou Fangzun, sizing up his intact body that could not be seen from the previous experiences, just like watching a miracle.

But slowly, as if thinking of something, his eyes sank.

Qing Ya didn't even dare to look back, he stood upright at the door of the bar, pretending that he was a sculpture of a gatekeeper - the kind who couldn't speak or do wrong things, so he wouldn't be scolded either.

The spiritual practitioner who noticed Qingya shook his head with a smile, and after reconfirming with Wu Zhao that he was not needed, he said goodbye to Wu Zhao and left.

The moment he passed by Qing Ya, the spiritual cultivator sent a voice transmission with his spiritual consciousness: "Qing Ya, you always make His Majesty angry, and let Lord Xun Yu deduct your salary."After this, do you still have any salary left? '

As if hearing the conversation between them, Wu Zhao also cast a teasing look at Qing Ya.

Qing Ya who received Wu Zhao's gaze:! ! !I heard!You are laughing so loudly in your heart! QAQ Your Majesty... why are you bullying me again?
