The priest and the king 02 The madness of the king

How to say, his father was killed before his eyes.

As if urged, Luo Gang put on his coat and picked up his sword.

Step out of the dormitory and ask the guard in charge of guarding the corridor.

"Hey, where's the kid?"

The guard, who was standing in a daze, quickly corrected his posture.

"...Ah...Prince...Ah, no, Your Majesty the King...!"

Ah.Luo Gang couldn't help laughing.

The people who have been fooling the black-haired and black-eyed prince for a long time changed their attitudes only because of a word from the son of Hong.

Despicable subjects.Muttering in his mouth, Luo Gang asked again.

"Where did that kid go?"

"...Yes, yes. Over there..."

The place the guard pointed to was probably a room in another building that had been hastily furnished to house the corpses.

During the daytime rebellion, many people died.

Only people who can be recognized at a glance, such as King Aici and the imperial guards, were placed in the condolence room of the royal family.The rest of the unrecognizable people, regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, are all put there.

The child's father should have been placed there as well.So he should be staying next to his father's body.

After ordering people to prepare candlesticks, Luo Gang walked towards the building next door.

Gently push open the door of the morgue.

It was dark inside.

...isn't it here...?

While thinking, he reached out to shade the candle light.

he is.

In the innermost part of the room, there is a faint light.

Can Hongfa and Hongtong gather light even in the dark?Otherwise, how could there be a dim light.

Afraid of scaring him, Luo Gang said calmly.

"Isn't it too dark?"

The child was indeed sitting next to a dead body.Luo Gang's voice made him look up in surprise.

"...King...Your Majesty..."

How come there is an uncomfortable feeling.

"My name is Luo Gang. Don't call me Your Majesty the King. I'm asking you, isn't it too dark here?"

The child replied timidly.

"...No. I can see even if there is no light. Besides, the forest where I grew up is completely dark at night..."

"Is that so? Because your pupils are strangely colored, so maybe you don't think so.—Where did you grow up?"

The child said the name of a poor village in the countryside.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

The child answered Lianzhu Pao's questions with a voice trembling with fear.

"...Yes, yes. My name is Sae, and I am nine years old."

Luo Gang didn't know when he took the initiative to approach him, holding a candlestick and looking down.

...Is this guy the Son of God...?

Too weak to hold back the wind.No matter how you look at it, you are just a country boy.

Although his eyes were full of tears, he was very brave and did not shed a single tear in front of Luo Gang.

Luo Gang stared at him with the eyes of a rare and strange beast.

The child may not be able to stand the silence, speak up.

"I think... my father's wish came true. He said that he dreamed of becoming the king's guard since he was young. Since he died to protect His Majesty the king..."

He seemed unable to speak the next words.

At this time, Luo Gang was suddenly attacked by strong emotions.

It is a human emotion that has never been felt before.

I think that doesn't matter.Even if the father died, he didn't feel heartache.

When the imperial guards became the king's attendants, they should have the consciousness of death.

However, the father and son who happened to be at the scene of the assassination did not care about their broken weapons, and still used their bodies as shields to protect the king.The child didn't run away either. Although he was young, he saved Luo Gang's life with his bow and arrow.

At least some reward should be given to the poor father and son.

Now, what can I do for this father and son?

After thinking for a while, Luo Gang drew his knife out of its sheath.

Then, in front of the dumbfounded children, he raised his knife and said to the remains.

"Now, I would like to commend you for your sacrifice——I, Luo Gang, the new and talented king, appointed this person as a guard sergeant. I believe that this person will protect the former king even if he is in the underworld, and devote himself to the former king... I will immediately Order someone to prepare military uniforms, swords and other items, and at the same time put his body in the coffin.”

After speaking, put away the sword and return it to its sheath.

The child widened his eyes and said intermittently:

"...Thank...thank...thank you. Thank you very much...!"

He shed tears for the first time.

"Instead of father, I want to thank you...!"

The child knelt on the floor and kowtowed.

"My merciful and noble king—please let me serve you! Although my strength is meager, I will risk my life,

I will serve you all my life.Please accept my endless loyalty! "

Um.Luo Gang nodded.

There was a violent surge in the chest.

Although he is a child from a poor country that he has never heard of, his appearance of desperately paying respect to himself is so pitiful that it makes people feel pity.

Moreover, looking directly at his own child, the pupils are so clear that they seem to be sucking in a person's soul.

The child didn't wipe away his tears, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

"Proof of loyalty... I just thought about it desperately, but I couldn't think of it... So, I decided to give my real name. Originally, I didn't plan to tell anyone in my life, because it would be terrifying and dirty your ears Real name... But I have no other way to prove it. Your Majesty Luo Gang, please accept it. My real name is - "The Man Who Ruled the World"..."

Returning to reality from the long memory, Luo Gang couldn't help sighing.

In this land, the meaning of "true name" is more important than the name on the surface.Most of them are informed by their parents when they are sensible, and then tell their spouses.It is customary to keep it secret from others.

Telling the other party's real name has become a proof of loyalty.

Luo Gang murmured.

"...the one who rules the world..."

Still, a brutal real name.

Sae Sae doesn't want to stand above others at all.

In this war-torn era, how much suffering will be accompanied by "world domination".

That kid who wants nothing, who loves the ease and peace of everyday life... why does he have to run the world?

Driven by anger, Luo Gang roared to the sky.

"Heavenly Emperor! Since you have given Saesa such a unique appearance, why do you give him the soul that only the Son of God can have?"

Will be hurt, will be distressed, has the heart of a son of man.

Why did Saesa have that kind of heart...!

Ⅲ low hanging clouds

Suddenly noticed.

Something flew towards the sinking fiery red sun at a swift pace.

It's a flying dragon.

"Is it Yeong Kyun!?"

Luo Gang immediately called out the name of the leader of the Dragon Knights.

He was the only hero who dared to ride a flying dragon without receiving Luo Gang's order.Because as long as Luo Gang is accidentally annoyed, his head will move.

Sure enough, the sophisticated voice that came back from the dragon's back was Yongjun.

"Yes! I have something important to report!"

Yong Kyun is the leader of Dragon Knights.

Although his title is "Dragon Knight Captain", he is actually the leader of the army and one of the "Seven Ministers" who govern the country with the king.

More than 500% of the Huacai patrol army are infantry.Only those who are chosen can ride the "Dragon Rider" galloping on the earth, and to become the "Dragon Knight" galloping in the sky, one must be the elite among the elite.There are only [-] people in the entire army who have been awarded such honorable positions.

Therefore, the title of "Dragon Knight Commander" represents the highest position in the army.

Yongjun is a seasoned warrior who rose from the lowest infantry all the way to the highest official position.

Luo Gang put a lot of emphasis on this young man who once served as his swordsmanship instructor.

"What's the matter! Won't you deal with it first?"

Under Luo Gang's stern reprimand, Yong Jun manipulated the reins to make the dragon turn around, and at the same time shouted back.

"I'm terribly sorry, but there are reports that a large number of troops are heading towards our borders!"

Although the two dragons were flying side by side towards the palace, they were still in the air, so they had to speak loudly.

"What did you say--?"

Thinking back, there was chaos in the palace before.

Luo Gang, whose whole heart was on Xie Sha, turned a deaf ear to the guard's words.

Regret came to mind.

"Are we going to war? With which country!?"

But there was only a moment of regret, and Luo Gang immediately returned to reality.

The middle-aged military officer faced forward and said.

"According to the flag, the east is Qipa, the south is Jiezhi, and there is Hongxuan on the sea to the west!"

Even Luo Gang, who was used to fighting, was speechless.

"Pictures on page 71"

...meaning we are surrounded except to the north...

What the hell are you doing.

The head opened the map hastily.

There are many wealthy and logical vassal states in the north.For example, Zhengyan, where Princess Meiliang was born, and Bishuo, the main producer of rainbow worms, are both located in the northern part of the mainland.

Bi Shuo was blessed by the candidate of the "Holy Rainbow Envoy" who finally appeared after hundreds of years, making the economy of this rainbow worm-producing country improve year by year.To weave iridescent cloth, there must be silk spun by rainbow worms.Therefore, it can be said that Bi Shuo and Hua Cailuo, who owns the headquarters of the Hongni Sect, are in a relationship of coexistence and co-prosperity.

All in all, the north should be safe.

Thinking of this, Luo Gang couldn't help shivering.

...The great temple where Sae is located...are you alright...?

I couldn't help but look back at the direction I came from.

As if sensing his thoughts, Yong Jun's voice flew over.

"King! The Great Temple is an inviolable sanctuary! No matter what happens in the mundane world, it cannot be attacked and occupied. This is a norm that has been concluded by all countries since the age of myth... No, even if there is a wicked country who is not afraid of the punishment of heaven. Invasion, this place is located on the top of the noble Lingfeng Mountain, and it would take several days to climb the mountain on foot, if you really want to fight, as long as I wait for the Dragon Knights to dispatch, I can deal a head-on blow!"

Luo Gang let out a low moan.

Yongjun was right.

There are creatures that can run on the ground everywhere, and there are many kinds, but there are only a few creatures that can fly in the air.
