"Recognize this?" Leoric asked, pointing to the crown.
Tagesus glanced at it and immediately exclaimed, "Isn't this my black iron crown?"
"Really?" Leoric asked him. "Would you take a closer look?"
"This is indeed my crown, and there is even a ray of my remnant soul on it!"
"Huh? So... is this thing considered a holy relic? Is it the King of Northern Border suit?"
Just now Leoric was too busy thinking about the "yellow robe addition", and didn't think about it.At this time, Leoric put the crown on his head, and sure enough, just like the successful Bluetooth matching, "Giant Butcher" and "Black Iron Crown" produced a powerful soul resonance!The King of Beijiang opened his eyes wide and said, "I feel my power has become stronger!" Leoric saw the spirit of the King of Beijiang shining brightly.
After a while, the resonance ended, and Leoric asked him, "Does it feel like that? For example, you have evolved into a 'superego'?"
The king of Beijiang said, "That's not true, it's just that my memory is clearer, and I remember some of my previous skills... Wang, this is for you."
A new holy relic message appeared in Leoric's mind:
【Meteorite Crown】
The black bladed crown made of meteorites is not a product of this world.
Someone once asked him, why not set jewels in the crown?
He said: "The sharp murderous look is the best decoration."
[Holy Relic Effect: Origin of Star]
It can shorten the connection between the user and the celestial body.
There are indescribable things in the universe and celestial bodies. Only by understanding the movement of celestial bodies can we see its true face.
But for ordinary people, this may not be a good thing.
[Set Effect: Enemy of Giants]
When facing a creature whose size is larger than itself, it will burst out with more powerful power, and the greater the difference in proportion, the stronger the effect.
The king of Beijiang once said that the bigger the enemy, the more he can inspire his fighting spirit.
Relying on this courage, he has defeated countless giants.
Leoric took a closer look at the new equipment and new skills, and felt a little confused——Set effect: Enemy of Giants is easy to understand, that is, the bigger the enemy, the stronger I am, but what is the "Star Origin" for?Looking directly at the evil god?Self-service drop san?
Leoric asked the King of Northern Border what was that function for?The king of Beijiang couldn't tell why, the big man scratched his head and said, "I didn't feel anything special when I was wearing this helmet, but I just felt that there were more stars in the sky, and they were brighter—— The main reason is that I don't go to see the stars anytime, right? So..." He gestured innocently.
Forget it, I'll talk about this later, the most urgent task now is not the pan holy relic, but the political meaning of the crown itself.
Leoric figured out what the Jagober family was thinking. They wanted to save their lives by presenting the crown—if Leorick used this crown to become king in the future, then the "Keeping the Crown III" The Jia Gebo family is a great hero, whether it is rewarded or not is put aside, but they must not be killed.
Duke Jagober seemed to have guessed Leoric's mind, thinking that he would definitely become king.In fact, this is true, Leoric did have this idea, but he "although he has the intention of becoming a king, but he has no intention of rebelling", so how to use this crown, he has not yet figured it out.
Leoric pondered for a while, then opened the door and called out, "Jagober!"
"The culprit is here!" Duke Jagober came out from the next room.
Leoric said, "I want to dedicate this to Princess Teves as a token of loyalty, what do you think?"
Jagbo smiled and said, "Impossible, Lord Leoric, don't be joking."
"Why not?"
"Because you have the ambition to be a king, and you have the conditions to become a king. No one will miss this opportunity." Jia Gebo smiled like a treacherous old fox, "Since ancient times, no one has been like you. Sit on the top, the throne is yours! You are only missing one "title" from the throne, and with a crown, nothing can stop you from becoming the king of the plateau people! Then you can say that you are a plateau man Descendants of the former king! If you want to drive out the thieves and recast the glory of the former king, then I, the "Keeper of the Crown", will definitely stand up for you, and the Northern Expedition will definitely listen to you. In this way, what will Tevis Nashrut do? Compete with you? The princess' bloodline is not as pure as yours, and she doesn't have much money in her hand. The most important thing is that she doesn't have an army! You have political power, financial power, and military power. Si is alive, and you don't have such great power! Wouldn't you become the number one overlord of the plateau people in ancient and modern times?"
Leoric sneered and said, "Do you need to say that? Don't I know this?"
Duke Jagober's face froze, and he asked, "Then, my lord..."
"Old man, let me tell you something - a person who is forced to become a king is not a king, but a slave with a crown." He repeated the chicken soup he had given to Romila earlier, "The king is the king in this world." The most free person, if you guys lift your arms to the throne, then what kind of king am I?"
Duke Jagbo was speechless, and Leoric said in a deep voice: "So, whether to be king or how to be king, I, Leoric, have my own plans, and there is no need for you to teach me here—I have taken the crown." , As for whether you are dead or alive, it will be handed over to my military court for trial. "
Saying that, Leoric took the black box away.Duke Jagbob bowed and watched him leave.He waited until Leoric disappeared from the end of his field of vision, and then he said "Ouch!" Then he collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely for a while, and his face was pale.
I'm... I saved half my life, right?Duke Jagober thought with lingering fear.
……
Leoric kept the crown in the safe in the contract space, and did not intend to tell anyone for the time being.Then he returned to the banquet hall. After drinking for three rounds at this time, everyone's spirits faded, and they all wanted to go back to rest.So Leoric drank the last cup with everyone and announced the end of the banquet. Afterwards, everyone went to the guest room to rest under the leadership of Jagober's waiter.
At this time, the waiter who sent the letter earlier told Leoric that the first thing had already been done.It is said that when the deserters saw Leoric's gloves and flags, they were all so frightened that they dropped their weapons and surrendered on the spot, and then let the soldiers of the Northern Expedition escort them back to the prison camp.Leoric nodded, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked Delwin's room yet, so he said, "Then I'll go to your young master's room."
"Yes, my lord." The waiter led the way.
At this time, Ser Milan heard that Leoric was going to see his brother, so he asked to go with him.Leoric teased him and said: "What's the matter, do you want to whip the corpse to vent your anger?" Sir Milan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Although my brother is very bad to me, but... how should I put it, before Delwin went crazy In fact, he is a good brother, and I admire him very much. Just, alas, my lord, if he really committed suicide in fear of crime, can we... just bury him? He will be hanged on the city wall and painted with asphalt." Said this During the conversation, Milan kept looking at Leoric's face, for fear of offending him.
However, Leoric is not so cruel and evil. He dragged the bodies of Harlan's eldest son and the Crow King out of the city wall just to frighten Xiaoxiao. It was so bloody.So Leoric nodded his head and said, when a man dies, nothing happens, ashes return to ashes, so let him go.
Sir Milan was really moved with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you, thank you! Your Excellency is indeed a benevolent saint! If I had changed my position, I would have killed Jagober's family and flogged the corpses to vent my anger! You are indeed Lord Leoric."
Are you cruel enough?
Then everyone went to Delvin's room.
"Here it is." The waiter said, pointing to a locked door.
"Slam the door!" Leoric ordered.
The waiters had already prepared hammers, and they broke the door lock in two or three strokes. As soon as the door was opened, a bloody stench rushed in.
"This..." Leoric took half a step back in shock.
Leoric originally wanted to see how tragic the desperate death of Delwin, a lunatic, was, and even took a photo to punch in as a souvenir or something—to be exact, let the bard and military scholar record this scene, and wait until later It will be a very good material for publicity.However, when he really saw Delvin's death, he immediately regretted it, thinking:
I really shouldn't be watching this after dinner.
Delwin's death was so tragic that even Leoric, who had seen countless dead people, couldn't help but sigh.Moreover, this scene was too terrifying, it would be enough to scare the audience into screaming in any horror movie.Seeing this scene, several of the waiters present vomited, and some screamed in fright, and then poured urine and feces.
I saw blood graffiti all over the room, walls, floors, tables and chairs, furniture...any place where you can write, all are covered with blood——
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"I repent, I repent, I repent!"
"I got lied to
The ones on the table were still relatively neat, but the characters on the wall and floor behind began to distort and deform, with different sizes, and it looked like bugs were crawling.
And Delwin's body was hanging from the ceiling, among these strange words, his fingers were hanging on his trousers, and one trouser leg was blackened by coagulated blood.
On his bare chest, a passage was cut out with a knife, which read:
"The sinner, Delvin, harmed his family, harmed the Seven Gods, harmed the country, and harmed himself."
"A suicide note, to Leoric."
Sir Milan burst into tears, and shouted with trembling hands: "Idiot! My stupid brother!" Although Sir Milan hated Delwin, he was a close relative after all. Seeing his death so miserable, he still couldn't help crying .
And Leoric saw an unopened letter on the table.
He opened the letter and read it word by word...
6⑧②-771
Chapter 170 II: Delwin's Suicide Note
When a person is about to die, his words are also kind. Delvin hanged himself in repentance, and his suicide note undoubtedly contained the greatest kindness in his life.
The letter said:
Dear Commander of the Northern Expedition, Lord Leoric, I am the sinner Delwin.
When I am about to die, I will know that my sin is serious, but at this moment, nothing I can do will help.I would have... (The text here is smeared with blood and tears, followed by a new line)
I originally wanted to achieve a great cause that would benefit thousands of years, but I didn't expect to be deceived by evil spirits and commit an unforgivable sin.
Every sentence I say next is true, Lord Leorick must believe it!If you are not Lord Leoric, out of loyalty, honor and sense of justice, and the most simple morality of a person, please also pass this letter or these words on to Lord Leoric, because this concerns all people on the plateau The future of the world is even related to the safety of the whole world.
(Delwin changed to a more formal writing style)
Dear Lord Leoric, please listen to me.
Delvin Jagober was originally the most devout believer of the Seven Gods in the world, and also the most loyal plateau man.I have always believed that we are the greatest nation, and one day we will be able to restore the glory of our ancestors under the leadership of the seven gods and kings.
However, seven years ago, when I was writing an article in the library, I accidentally found an old book.The content of this old book overturned all my cognition.According to the book, after the plateau people fled from the north to the south, the Nashrut family killed the son of the old king Tagesus, who was the king at the time, and slaughtered the royal family, and completely cut off the plateau people and the sun god. In order to rule the people here forever, they enshrined seven evil gods to suppress other gods in this land.
In other words, the royal family is a thief who steals the country, and the Seven Gods are also evil gods. As a firm believer in the Seven Gods at the time, I must not believe all of this.I burned the book, and then continued my studies.
However, after that I would often have a strange dream.I would dream of a great fire god shaped like a huge sun. He calls himself the "Sun God" and is the ancestor god believed by people on the plateau for generations. Now he is sealed in the city of bachelors by the seven gods and asks me to save him.I didn't take it seriously at first, but the dream became more and more frequent, and then I started to have a high fever, and I took medicine and sought medical treatment to no avail.
Later, in desperation, I quietly went to Bachelor City to meet my idol and teacher, the most knowledgeable Duke "Harvin Nicholas" among the plateau people today.After meeting him, I told him about my strange disease and asked him for help.Nicholas was not surprised after hearing this, but said: "Silly boy, since the ancestor god called you, then you just answer his call."
I asked him: "Teacher, is the ancestor god real? The seven gods are evil gods? The king is also a liar?"
Nicholas did not answer, but said: "You can ask the ancestor gods and you will know."
That night I stayed in the scholar's tower in the city, and as expected, I had that dream again, so this time I followed the teacher's instructions and responded to the sun god, expressing my intention to help him.The sun god went on to say a lot of things that I couldn't understand, but I could feel his relief.Then I woke up, this time with no fever and refreshed.After I got up from the bed, I felt that I suddenly looked younger by several years, and my strength became stronger - the luggage that could be lifted with two hands can be easily picked up with one hand; my eyes have improved, and I don’t need to wear Glasses, and I can see the feathers of the birds in the sky; my hearing is the same, I can hear the whispering voice of the elementary school children on the first floor; …I've never been happier.
So I found the teacher excitedly and told him all this, but Teacher Nicholas showed the expected expression, and he said: "That's it, this is the blessing from the ancestors, my child."
I asked him anxiously: "Is everything written in the book I burned true?"
Then, the teacher smiled gratifiedly, and he told me that he knew the truth of history a long time ago, and he also had the same dream, but he was ten years earlier than me.During this period, he has been trying to undo the seal of the ancestor gods, trying to defeat the seven gods, trying to tell people the truth of history, and trying to bring down the hypocritical thief on the throne.
"If we can revive the ancestor gods, then the plateau people will definitely be able to restore their glory!" Teacher Nicholas said, "Son, would you like to be with me?"
Without a doubt, I accepted Master's invitation. .
Since then, I have joined the great cause of "resurrecting the old gods", and I have no doubts about this matter.In the next few years, relying on the wisdom and strength bestowed upon me by the gods of my ancestors, I gradually became the real leader of the Jia Gebo family. In order to complete this great cause, I paid a lot and did many things that I would never do before bad thing.I used to have a disturbed conscience, but whenever this happened, the ancestor god would entrust me with a dream, saying: "Believers, you must know that even in a just war, there will be soldiers who die; if you don't sacrifice, you can't get it." True justice."
I saw everything as a "necessary sacrifice" and since then my conscience has been sleeping.Losing the restraint of conscience, and the wisdom bestowed upon me by the ancestors, our plan is getting smoother and smoother... There is nothing to say about the following things - we emptied the imperial power, supported puppets, rebelled, and then we were beaten by your invincible army We lost steadily.
But even so, I have neither despair nor regret. I have made up my mind to sacrifice for my own great cause—since my father and brother can sacrifice, then what is my own life worth nostalgic for?
If great achievements can be made, there will be a heaven on earth, when there will be surplus food every year, hungry people will feed their stomachs, wear gold and crowns, children will eat meat, and old women will eat sugar;I had no talent in the first half of my life, and I studied hard for more than [-] years but failed to offer a good policy for governing the country or a half-sentence mantra. If I can become a "paradise on earth" now, then I will die, and I can smile even when I am under six feet.
However, when Lord Leoric killed that monster, I learned the truth... (Tears wet the letter paper again)
(start a new line)
That "ancestor God Sun God", or "God Infant", is not a god worshiped by people on the plateau for generations!He is a liar, and Mr. Nicholas and I are both victims!This monster is actually an evil god sealed in the Bachelor City, and the Seven Gods are the seven nails that sealed him!He wants to use us to break his seal, thereby enslaving our people and slaughtering the creatures of this land.
I made a big mistake, and there is no room for repentance. I only ask Lord Leoric to end this evil ritual!Absolutely not let that evil god break the seal.
In the end, all the sins are borne by me alone. If you are not satisfied, you can flog my body as much as you want, and I just ask you to let my family go!Although the Jia Gebo people have lost their personal virtues, they are absolutely right. They were all deceived by my schemes, coerced by my majesty, and incited by my words, so they joined the coalition.My brothers and sisters are all cowardly and stalking people. If they are released, they will never dare to retaliate, and will serve you faithfully!Please, my lord, hold your hands high, hold your hands high! (The last paragraph has the clearest handwriting and the most beautiful font)
The Sinner Delvin Jagbober
yours truly!
After reading the letter, Leoric couldn't help sighing, and had two thoughts in his mind: The first one is that the dragon turtle of the murloc village said earlier that an evil god was sealed in the city of bachelors, which should be the same as what was said in Delwin's suicide note. a guy.
The second thought was: the Jia Gebo family was also deceived, and they were all victims. Although the crimes committed by them were unforgivable, they were deceived after all, so it is better not to kill their family.
"Send my orders!"
Leoric said loudly: "Give each of the brothers and sisters of the Jia Gebo family ten gold coins, a bag of rations, and three pairs of good shoes, and then exile them in southern Xinjiang. The previous matter will be written off and will not be pursued."
"Thank you, General!" Sir Milan fell directly from the wheelchair, and then plopped on the ground.
"No way!" Leoric quickly helped him back, "I read Delwin's letter, and I know that most of your family members have been wronged, so... that's all, I've killed enough people .”
"Then I would also like to thank the general on behalf of the Jagober family, young and old!" Sir Milan said in tears.Since ancient times, "rebellion" has been the biggest crime, but anyone who fails in rebellion will definitely die.However, it was so kind of Leoric to let these guys go. It was hard not to be touched by Sir Milan.
Leoric wanted to agree to Delwin's last wish and let these people live. However, a very absurd thing happened.
About half an hour later, when Leoric was about to go to bed, Shia suddenly ran in and said, "Leo, something happened!"
Leoric "grunt" sat up from the bed and said, "What's wrong?"
"Jagebo's family, all thirteen members are dead!" Shia said with a pale face.
"What did you say!?"
……
The thirteen corpses of the Jia Gebo family were neatly arranged in the hall, the oldest uncle had a beard, and the youngest boy was just able to walk.Sir Milan was sitting in a wheelchair, crying heartbreakingly, and the two people next to him pressed him gently to prevent the wounded from doing anything drastic.
There were hurried footsteps outside the hall, and Leoric was seen walking in while putting on his coat.When he saw the corpses in this place, he immediately became furious.
"What's going on?" Leoric asked loudly angrily, "What the hell is going on? Who the hell dares to kill people under my nose? Didn't I say let these people go? Which guy did it? "
Sir Milan couldn't make a sound, he hesitated to say a word; Shia whispered: "My lord, it's not murder, it's all suicide."
"suicide?"
Leoric glanced at the black faces of those corpses, and immediately understood.
