How I Ruled the World by Cooking

Anthony Hall sat at the front of a pony cart, whipping two white ponies with a whip.The wheels bumped and rolled over the potholed road surface where the mud gathered, and passed through the narrow alleys. There was still a suspicious black-red liquid at the bottom of the wall, which seeped into the gaps in the broken walls.

Dilapidated, dirty, violent, this is almost every newcomer's evaluation of the tenth district.Here, any seemingly weak and pitiful creature may kill you, because the real weak can't survive here.

As the carriage sped past, pairs of scrutinizing eyes appeared from the dilapidated houses by the alley, staring at them greedily, only seeing the figure of Anthony Hall, these skilled veterans subconsciously felt that this man was quite Not to be messed with, he followed the carriage through the alley, and finally just stared at their leaving backs.The wind blows the curtains, and you can vaguely see the long and white fingers hanging on the window lattice.

Konstantin Christian, who looked like a child, stood barefoot on the cushion, draped Eugene's shoulders and looked out the window, with elusive complex emotions in his eyes.He stared at District Ten and said softly, "Once, this is what I want you to see."

"So it's not now?" Eugene looked away, looking at those dark green pupils.

"It's too late." The elf replied with a smile, "I've grown up, and I won't put all my hopes on you anymore."

He jumped off the cushion. Frost flowers bloomed in the air. His small figure was stretched out. When the light dissipated, the person standing there had become the adult archbishop that Eugene was familiar with.

"Once upon a time, I pinned my hope on the gods to save everything." He walked towards Eugene, and the dark red robe made a rustling sound as it brushed the carpet, "But it took me thousands of years to finally understand that this world What is needed is not a god of salvation."

"It's a world without gods." Eugene rolled his eyes and helped him complete the rest of the sentence with a smile.

Constantine paused: "Yes."

He bent down and propped his arms over Eugene's cheek against the carriage behind him.The ice-like long silver hair fell down, and fell coolly on the back of his hand.Eugene turned over and grabbed a strand of it, rubbing it in his palm, but he refused to answer the question in his eyes.

"Kiss me." The black-haired boy acted softly, "Or let me kiss you."

The elf bowed his head and touched his lips lightly.

"It's too slow, what are you dawdling about?" Eugene babbled, "The price has increased, one is not enough."

He propped himself up, leaned forward and "chirped" twice on the elf's pointed ears.

Constantine couldn't help shaking his ears: "What about the other side?"

So the other pointy ear got two kisses too, and the elf's hands came off the wall, and Eugene put his arm around his neck, rubbing contentedly.

"We all know it well." He knocked his chin on the elf's shoulder, and the elf who had robbed the Ice and Snow Goddess of divine power also felt chilly, and seemed to have a faint fragrance of coldness.Eugene sniffed for a while, feeling like the smell of the forest in the early morning frost when he was still practicing.

"In other words, the gods, especially the followers of the dark gods, are very clear that the creatures in this world are just domestic animals we raise." There was no guilt in his words, "How can domestic animals expect to be saved by their masters? Woolen cloth?"

Even if it is pity, it is nothing more than pity for a small pet.The love of the gods for their people is not glorified as "love" but rather "favor".The favor that comes on the spur of the moment, the favor that can be withdrawn at any time.

The elf was silent for a while before responding: "But in the eyes of the creatures in this world, I am watched by the gods benevolently like parents love their children."

At least in the distant youth, he thought so.He grew up under the shade of the elf mother tree. He is the rarest "son of the forest" of the elves, and he grew up without any setbacks since he was a child.Later, in order to plant branches of the mother tree at the other end of the world, he left the forest and met Pendragon, the god of poison, but the notorious black dragon lord did not hurt him, but took him by his side and let him do whatever he wanted. He named the creature himself, and took him to wander around the world.

At that time, Constantine Christian was still a standard elf. He would stop because of any suffering he saw on his journey, and help everyone within his power with the usual kindness of elves.It's not that he has never encountered danger, but one of the three dark upper gods will always stand behind him, and nothing can really hurt him.

Until the final battle broke out suddenly and ended abruptly.As if overnight, the God of Darkness fell, the black dragon disappeared from his side, and the entire force of the Dark Family was bloodbathed.The elf accepted the invitation of the archbishop of the temple in a daze, and followed the knights into the defeated area to wipe out the fish that slipped through the net.At that time, he just wanted to find the lost silly dragon quickly, for fear that it would fall into the hands of the gods of the light camp, and wanted to secretly take the dragon away.

But the world tore away the veil of warmth in front of him. Pendragon never took him to see his own territory, the territory of the dark forces, which was a purgatory on earth that he had never imagined.The living beings here are just the livestock of the gods and their food.

He searched for a long time, until he joined the temple, became a cardinal, and finally became the supreme ruler.He still hadn't been able to find his dragon, and had come to understand that he didn't need anyone's explanation.

This broken world does not need the salvation of any gods.

"I used to think that it was the gods who blessed this land and controlled the seasons, rain, snow, wind and frost, so that the creatures could live and work in peace and contentment." Constantine said, "But when I became really strong, I traveled all over the world and learned from it. After going through a lot of things, I realized how ridiculous my thoughts are.”

"Of course it's ridiculous." Eugene laughed straight away, "Because that's what we want you to believe, silly wife."

The elf straightened up suddenly, and his pointed ears were almost frightened into airplane ears.

"Hey, I thought your ears could only stand up?" Eugene Curious Dog couldn't help but went up to grab it, but the carriage shook suddenly, and he almost rolled to the ground.

"Dean!"

"Don't call me the dean!" Anthony Hall, even more irritable than he, roared back.

"Oh shit." Eugene said sternly, "Mortal, do you know exactly who you're yelling at?"

Anthony Hall didn't quarrel with him, and said directly: "A little girl suddenly rushed out in front."

The two people in the car also heard the crying from ahead, and a hoarse voice shouted: "Help me! Please, please help me! Please...ah!"

The screams were accompanied by the wretched laughter of several men, and someone yelled at Anthony Hall loudly: "Hey, it's you! Do you want to steal my goods?"

"Are you going to ask me for compensation in your next sentence?" Anthony Hall looked at him coldly.

"It's pretty good." The big traitor rubbed his fingers with a smile, and was about to say the following.

But Eugene poked his head out of the carriage impatiently, pressed down the whip that Anthony Hall was about to raise with one hand, and snapped his fingers casually with the other hand.

The second half of the big man's words were held in his mouth, but he didn't spit it out.Several other people let go of the girl's hand, and the girl fell to the ground, face down in the sewage, and the dirty appearance was even more difficult to see clearly.

"Keep your head up." Eugene patted the back of Anthony Hall's hand, which was so stiff that his veins were bulging, and stepped over to the front of the car, "Don't be afraid, keep your head up."

His tone was tactful, and it seemed to have a strange magic power. The exhausted girl on the ground supported her body, slowly got up from the mud, and looked at Eugene timidly.

Eugene raised his hand and snapped his fingers a second time.

Even Anthony Hall's expression began to slacken, the girl swayed slightly, and the original timid expression disappeared from her face.Even though she was thin and bony, wearing only torn fabrics, and her skin color was so dirty that it was difficult to discern her original skin color, the posture she sat there could make people feel dangerous, like a dangerous predator under some kind of disguise.

"Succubus." The archbishop's indifferent voice woke Anthony Hall up. He shook his head, which was as uncomfortable as a sudden disconnection, and saw frost spreading from the ground where the girl was sitting. A few translucent, lifelike ice sculptures remain.The hot afternoon sun shone down, and the surface of the ice sculpture began to melt slightly.

When the ice sculptures are completely gone, there will no longer be these people in this world, including a sign of the existence of a monster.

Anthony Hall clenched the rein in his hand, with an expression of unconcealable horror.He knew that powerful magic could kill these people in an instant, even he could do it himself.But that never includes turning a few living creatures into ice sculptures!

What kind of magic can turn flesh and blood into ice and snow?

This ten-thousand-year-old elf is already infinitely close to the realm of a god.He thought in awe that maybe he could really live forever.

There are many examples of humans becoming gods. Philip, one of the three upper gods of the dark camp, the "God of the Fallen", is a typical example.He was the king of one of the largest kingdoms at that time, but in pursuit of eternal life, he sacrificed all his subjects to the Dark God.The Dark God praised his brutality and gave him the title of "Fallen", making him a high-ranking god.

That incident was also the culmination of the break between the two gods. The benevolent God of Light could no longer bear the cruelty of the God of Darkness, and took the initiative to wage war against him.The Dark God, who had just consumed a lot of divine power, did not expect that the twin sisters, who had always been submissive, would suddenly turn against each other and rush to fight, but they could only lose in the end.

After the defeat of the Dark God, the "God of Fallen" Philip, the shortest-lived upper god in history, was directly executed, the "God of Distortion" Dolph disappeared, and the "God of Poison" Pendragon no one dared to kill, in case he fell, No grass will grow where the blood flows, and if it enters the river, all living things along the banks will be wiped out.The God of Light was also at a loss for him, and in the end he could only sentence him to eternal sleep and exile him in endless darkness.

The author has something to say: Eugene: If you are a man, you have to stab your brother in both sides!

Dolph: Is that the fucking reason you're making two cuts?
