heavy fog

The official residence of the Prime Minister of Dark Blue Star.

Logically speaking, every prime minister lived here, but the entire city of Meredith was renovated and rebuilt more than 100 years ago. The foundation of the house is ancient and the exterior has been repaired. The only owner who has lived in this mansion is Cyrus .

Deep Blue Star has an election every 20 years, and the law only allows eight re-elections.

The ruling party has held power in the kingdom for more than 150 years, and the next election is on the nerves of many people: Cyrus is about to abdicate power, and he may be able to retreat behind the scenes, but the ruling party is bound to re-elect a new prime minister.

Everyone is waiting for the internal election of the ruling party, and there are conflicts for the upper position.

The Restoration Party, the Opposition Party, and even other countries in the Moby Dick Galaxy are eyeing it up, feeling that this will be a good opportunity for them—an invincible enemy, it is only convenient to wait for their internal collapse to fish in troubled waters.

Facts slapped them hard again: the ruling party is in no hurry! !

The political circles of the Deep Blue Kingdom were full of anxiety, and the gossip and discussions in the society were full of vibrancy, but the parties involved were completely silent. First, Prime Minister Cyrus did not appear in public for 30 years. Rumors were flying everywhere, and the ruling party remained calm.

A few days ago, Cyrus suddenly appeared to attend a royal palace banquet, met Princess Daiqi from the Holy Glory Empire, and drove away Mitchell who "exceeded his authority" The turmoil is a good subject of political struggle wherever it is placed. As a result, there are divergent opinions and gossip, but the ruling party is still very calm.

This calm attitude made the Restoration Party who had followed the king on the front line for decades impatient.

——The political opponents are not in a panic, how can they take advantage of this opportunity?

"There are still two years before the election." The king's nephew made no secret of his impatience. "Your Majesty, we need to find a way."

The king glanced at him indifferently, and his straight back bent slightly sadly.

King Alcira VI stood in front of the window, the streets outside the square were immersed in thick fog, and only the faint towers were faintly visible - Deep Blue Star seemed to have been filled with fog since it was recorded, and it became thicker and thicker after 2000 years .

"Princess Daiqi, please." Ashira VI said to the waiter.

"Uncle!" The king's nephew was anxious, "This is our best chance! The people of the Holy Empire are far away in the Unicorn Galaxy, so how can they help? That woman doesn't even have any psychic powers, just a Royal titles—"

"enough!"

King Ashira VI tightly gripped the window frame with his fingers.

He was old, his skin was wrinkled, and there were faint marks on the back of his hands.The hair turned white, and the corners of the eyes became more wrinkled.

This city in the dense fog is the same as it was many years ago, close at hand, it seems that you can hold it with your hand, but what you catch is only the vain fog.His enemies, like this city shrouded in fog all year round, are only willing to reveal a small part of the forces, making it impossible for people to distinguish.

Every time Alsila VI added a little more power to the Royal Restoration Party, he suddenly discovered that there was a little more outline exposed in the fog.

——Always estimate the enemy high, but find that the enemy is always one step higher than imagined.

This is a terrible mental torture. Another person may have been driven into a daze, and the impulsiveness led to death.

"He has been waiting for me to make a mistake." Alsila VI said to himself.

A mistake in principle, an irrational mistake, a wrong decision that led the royal family into the abyss!

"But I didn't." So he's alive and all is well.

The king's nephew was confused and took a step forward to say something. The captain of the palace guard who was standing silently in the room suddenly came over, as if he wanted to report something.

The accident happened at this moment.

"Ah!" The king's nephew screamed, covering the cold alloy sword protruding from his chest defenselessly, blood gushed out quickly, staining the beautifully tailored dress red.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The victim trembled in pain, dizzy for a while, barely turned around and found that the person who killed him was the captain of the guard.The decoration style of the dark blue palace is retro, and the high-tech weapons carried by people are also shaped as cold weapons as possible in medieval Europe.With his last breath, the king's nephew struggled to grab the arm of the sofa and tremblingly wanted to ask why.

King Ashira VI turned around from the window, his eyes were silent:

"After I die, no one in the royal family can avoid making mistakes in such a situation. There is no hope for restoration, and the era of the ruling party will continue for hundreds of years. I cannot hand over the power of the restoration of the royal family to you. It should Go to the dark, lurk and bide your time."

"No, I... can't I?" Covering his hands full of blood, the victim roared weakly and unbelievably, "Your Majesty, your two sons are useless, how can they do better than me! "

"You are right, but if you are alive, you will inevitably take over all my forces. If you have no interests, how can anyone be loyal to you? They will instigate and instigate you to fight for their interests for their own sake, just like I have experienced for so many years And you're not cool enough, and you're not a smart guy - you're only going to lead the royal family to a dead end."

Asila VI shook his head lightly, a cloudy tear fell, and said coldly, "I don't need an heir. I have fought on the front line for a hundred years. It takes a lot of energy for Cyrus to abolish the royal family. As long as the power of the Restoration Party disappears, he will not Will take much trouble for it. Go, my boy, and I will come to you shortly."

The king's nephew gasped heavily. He wanted to speak, but what came out of his mouth was blood foam, and finally rolled down on the carpet and remained motionless.

"Your Majesty." The captain of the guard withdrew his sword and shouted in a worried voice.

Looking at the corpse, King Alcira VI muttered to himself in a daze, "If he is a little more stupid and less ambitious, he may not be able to live. But in this world, the most people are those who are incapable and can't see themselves clearly."

"Your Majesty has given him many chances. Today is the last time. What he got is still disappointment."

"No, no, I'm talking about myself." The king sat down on the chair decadently, "I never really saw the enemy clearly, this is the most fatal mistake."

"Your Majesty?" The captain of the guard approached suspiciously.

"You...do you know why Cyrus hasn't shown up for so many years?" Ashira VI laughed hoarsely, "Internal disputes within the ruling party? Prepare Mitchell as successor? No, he is deliberately out of sight. Ellen Inkabus Cyrus, compared to 150 years ago, no, has his appearance changed since he joined the Institute for nearly 200 years?"

The captain of the guard was terrified.

"Come out of the laboratory and dress casually? After all these years, no matter how busy he is, the Prime Minister still pays attention to his image when he appears in public."

The king continued to mutter, "It's not just him, has Mitchell changed? People are impatient to see a madman, but a madman always has a secret."

"This, this is impossible, people will always die." The captain of the guard said in shock.

"Yeah, people will die." Alcira VI showed a sarcastic smile when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Princess Daiqi walked in slowly under the guidance of the waiter.

The corpse lying on the ground made the waiter back away in fright, but Princess Daiqi didn't change her face, she just found a chair covered with embroidered velvet and sat down. The alliance proposal that came to us is not going to work."

"This is just my failure, not the failure of the Deep Blue Royal Family." Alcira VI said calmly, "The Moby Whale galaxy wants to destroy the Holy See, at least in this common interest, Cyrus can also achieve your country's wish. "

"If the Holy Glory Empire is occupied by the Moby Dick galaxy, I would rather the Holy See continue to control the freedom of the empire." Princess Dai Qi said immediately.

The king showed a slight smile, "Then, let's use the last chip to gamble! Her Royal Highness once told me that the Holy See is so powerful because it is favored by God?"

"Yes, according to the records of the royal family...the earliest people in the Holy Glory Empire came from the ancient earth period. At that time, human beings abandoned their belief in gods, killed each other, launched nuclear weapons that could destroy the world, and the end came." Princess Daiqi Seriously recalling, "God had mercy on his devout believers, and sent down power before the end, allowing the three sages to bring the believers to the Unicorn Galaxy in an instant. At the beginning, there was no Holy Glory Empire, and human survival was difficult. Fortunately, the sages Discovering that divine power can spread, more and more believers in the Holy See, and finally human beings stand on top of all spirits again and rule the entire Unicorn galaxy."

King Ashira VI stared at her, and suddenly smiled: "I heard some interesting news from the captives of the Holy Glory Empire on the battlefield. It is said that the Pope is one of the three sages, who is blessed by God and never dies? "

"This is just a trick used by the Vatican to deceive our people in the name of God!" Dai Qi frowned deeply, "Our country has very high-end genetic technology, bishops with strong spiritual power can change their bodies, maybe in 2000 they can really To live, but every time the spirit is transferred, it will be weakened, and there is a certain risk of failure, the Pope cannot live forever."

"What if... I mean if, it's not a lie?" The king's eyes were sharp.

Dai Qi was stunned.

"I heard that the internal turmoil in the Holy See was all because the leader of the Knights Templar disappeared in a Seraph Mecha, causing the Temple to suspect that the Palace of Judgment was secretly involved, and the Pope was powerless to suppress—"

"I don't understand what His Majesty wants to say?" Princess Daiqi asked cautiously.

"Your Highness believes in the existence of God?"

"Of course, gods exist! Otherwise, human beings would have been destroyed at the end of the day." Dai Qi drew a cross on her chest, "The Holy See rules our country in the name of gods, and they have blasphemed gods!"

Sure enough, no matter how smart a woman is, she is a princess from the Holy Glory Empire, a country with deep-rooted beliefs.

The king sighed helplessly: "The Moby Dick Galaxy has never had a legend about how humans got here, so you think that humans are believers saved by God from the doomsday earth, but the problem is - the Deep Blue Kingdom has a complete 2000-year history, we I have never believed in God, why would God save us? God loves the world?"

Princess Daiqi was still in a daze, and Alsheera VI said indifferently and cruelly: "Cyrus, my country's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mitchell, and the Cabinet Minister of Energy, John, have never aged for more than 100 years. I also got a piece of news, The appearance of Mitchell actually appeared 700 years ago. It was a dusty painting deep in the palace treasury. It was very huge. It depicted a palace ball with nearly 200 people on it. If it weren’t for my incompetence My son is obsessed with painting, and if I turn this thing out, I won't notice the drunk crying person in the corner of the painting."

Princess Daiqi's eyes widened, and she realized something terrible.

"Your Holy See, call Cyrus a devil!" The king added the last chip, watching Dai Qi's pupils constrict leisurely.

"There are no gods or demons in this world, only a group of people with technology beyond time."

The king half-closed his eyes and gave a self-deprecating smile.

——What the scientists of Deep Blue Star are researching is not a secret. Even the gossip magazines behind the front line know that it has the ability to travel through time and space in high-dimensional dimensions.

Nominally, it is said to resist the small-scale four-dimensional space positioning of the Seraphim Archangel of the Holy Empire. It is also because the first contact war resulted in the collapse of space. Both countries are desperately studying this aspect of defense and the technology of using this as a weapon. .

Where is the god, and where is the devil?

The king didn't continue to look at Princess Daiqi's terrified face. He walked to the window, looked at the prime minister's mansion opposite, and thought silently: Cyrus, maybe he's going to attack the royal family. Maybe he died tonight. it's time.

In the dense fog, the prime minister's residence across the square.

Lying quietly on the armchair by the window, the person who seemed to be deeply asleep, suddenly bent the corner of his lower lip, and his blond hair fell loosely on his shoulders.

——As long as the succubus deliberately separates his thoughts, which corner of the dream can escape his grasp?

Cyrus slowly opened his eyes: "It seems that it is enough to eradicate all the forces of the Restoration Party on the Deep Blue Star, don't touch those people on the front line, and don't need to put the royal family under house arrest. How can such an interesting king die so happily? I don't agree with the decision."

The voice was cold and terrifying. The dream demon looked at his own projection on the glass and sneered: "You heard that your lover is expected to come back, your mood fluctuated too much, you fell asleep tired, and finally even ignored my existence. I hibernated for 100 minutes In [-], I finally got the chance to know everything about you! Cyrus, just sleep forever in the illusion that your lover is about to return!"

The author has something to say: The king’s guess is wrong, but the conclusion is correct ╮(╯_╰)╭The king thought that: the Holy Glory Empire and the Deep Blue Kingdom conducted research in this era, but they accidentally traveled to the previous era and stayed for a while. Finished the experiment in a few minutes and saved people, sneaked into the court and drank, and then ran back to the original era——

He implies that Princess Daiqi's "truth" has no gods and no demons.These people will not die, because they can go back to the past [wrong conclusion], or there is some technology he does not understand […]——Because our two countries are at war, we have the end of the earth period and we are Rescue separately.

Moreover, the scientists in our country are too crazy to do anything, but yours is desperate to create a XX ruling king. His only comforting thought now is probably: I finally saw the strength of the enemy clearly before I died.
