Chapter 53: The Secret of the Royal Family

Looking at the Necromantic Player Leaderboard, Black Edge was surprised to find that June Sunshine had returned to the Heavenly Rankings and had risen to eighth place. Although compared with the best ranking a while ago, June Sunshine only rose one place, but if you look at the established fact of "falling out of the heavenly list", the upgrade speed of June Sunshine has to be noticed, and he has to be re-evaluated.

What a terrible enemy...... It's time to do something.

With this in mind, Black Edge said hello to his teammates, came to the Military Affairs Department, and met General Zeno directly. Unlike the calm generals in the past, Zeno's face was ugly today, and his tone was even tougher: "Oh, it's you, you're here to get the mission?" ”

Black Edge nodded and began to check the task list. As the first Necromancer player, he can naturally receive the task directly from Zeno, while the others are not yet able to reach the height of Black Edge in terms of qualifications and strength, so they must eat from the staff and handymen.

Well? "Fixing the line of defense"? I haven't rebuilt since Isinger was trampled by otherworldly creatures, so why did he suddenly remember to repair it? Black Sharp raised his head, and his sharp gaze looked directly at the sitting Necromantic General: "It has something to do with that person from yesterday?" ”

Zeno's eyebrows twisted, and he didn't speak, indicating acquiescence, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Yesterday, something unprecedented happened in Isenger. Although Black Edge was not present at the time, he quickly got the relevant information afterwards. There is a phrase circulating in the mouth of the NPC: "That terrible adventurer ......"

In fact, one player smashed through Esinger's obstacles with a thunderous force (absolutely realistic without exaggeration) and walked away. A ruined fortress isn't as good as a brand new one, but an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, right? To say that the player can pass through Isenger alone is a bit whimsical, but the worst thing is that this whimsy really holds.

Black sharp thoughts flashed in his head!

June Sunshine's ranking return must have some kind of connection with this powerful mystery player! If this player, who even General Zeno is not sure to keep, is on the same side as June Sunshine, then Issinger will be useless, and the advantage of winning self-draw and his "Demon King's Palace" will be gone!

"Gotta stop it." Black Sharp blurted out, and when he reacted, he found that Zeno's quiet, burning eyes were also blazing at him. For the first time, there was eye contact between a player and an NPC.

"Why didn't you, St. Augustine, and Descartes leave with the great force when the army was leaving Saramonroe?"

When Qingyi drank the fifth cup of black tea, he finally raised this question.

Although Jont had silver hair, he was still full of energy, and he would have thought that he was a gentleman in his forties. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Because something went wrong...... Accidentally. ”

"Accident?"

"Yes, an accident, a scandal that cannot be mentioned to outsiders." Jont's forehead squeezed out deep, fascinating wrinkles, etched by a poison called "time" that belonged only to an old man. "My home country, Saramonro, is a country with a long history, and the lives of its citizens are peaceful and stable. In my opinion, this is the best country in the world. ”

Qingyi nodded: "It's understandable." "The motherland is always the best in the heart, even if it was ugly, even if it was humiliated, even if it was not strong, but the motherland is the motherland, this is an innate sense of identity.

"But...... There are times when any country decays, and this is especially true in a stable and comfortable environment. Jont was a little gloomy: "For example, when the country is in danger, there are always people who have bad intentions and want to get power. ”

Qingyi immediately became interested, after all, men and women are also human beings, and they also have a hobby of listening to gossip, but the gossip that men like to listen to is related to family and country affairs. Now that I've come across a secret that I can't smell at first, how can I miss it?

"It started a long time ago...... The Majesty I serve, Saramonro VII, has two princes. ”

Qingyi nodded: "Yes, I saw it when I received the task before." ”

"The eldest prince is benevolent and kind-hearted, can listen to the opinions and suggestions of the lower class people, is humble and peaceful, even if there are occasional stalks, they are used to reprimand his subordinates, and he never bullies the weak. The second prince is not doing his job, he always likes to talk back to His Majesty and do it, and he is not loved by His Majesty. But no matter how much I admonished him, the second prince had no intention of changing his ways. ”

Qingyi pouted: "It's understandable." Since there is no possibility of inheriting the throne, it is better to be a true self and live the life you want to live. ”

Jont was a little surprised: "Your Majesty has told me this in private. Can you understand the second prince, do you also have the same background? ”

Qingyi coughed and said with a smile: "Don't bother to spy on my details first, you can continue." ”

Jon hurriedly said, "It's me who was rude." Although His Majesty does not like the second prince, he always feels sorry in his heart, because the second prince was not born to His Majesty's original queen. ”

"I know. Salamonro VII's wife died, and in order to let the eldest prince grow up healthy and worry-free, Saramonro VII married the princess of a neighboring country, and then there was a second prince. In this way, he is sorry for the two princes. "Qingyi said." As a king, your majesty is a rare good man. ”

Jon smiled wryly, "You're right. His Majesty is always forgiving others, which is the root cause of the incident at the time of the 'Doomsday Confrontation'. In the 'Doomsday Confrontation', His Majesty discovered from the confidential information that the enemy was unstoppable, so he decisively let the people pass through Isengard, board the ship from Snow City, and retreat to the safety of the sea before making plans. However, the second prince unleashed the forces that were usually hidden, and forged His Majesty's handwritten letter, so that ......"

Speaking of this, Jonte's eyes were bleeding and tearful, but he still gritted his teeth and said word by word: "So that Your Majesty is trapped in the underground palace, just like that...... Leave us! ”

What the! Didn't Saramonro VII already leave with the fleet, how could he die in the underground palace? A flash of thought flashed in Qingyi's mind, recalling many details at that time and now: when he accepted the mission in the palace, King Salamunro's hands were shaking; Saramonro VII, who has always been known for his benevolence and love for his people, did not leave even a single ship for himself and other players responsible for the break; And Xue Duo the Shadow Walker was sealed by Saramonro VII on the night of his invasion of the underground palace, if the king only began to retreat from that time, it is impossible for him not to see the king's exclusive convoy after the port of Snow City was cut off; St. Augustine, the captain of the guard, as one of the most trusted men of Saramonro VII, could not simply choose to guard the collection room without choosing to protect a living king!

Other words...... This hypothesis is true! No, it should not be said that it is an illusion, but that it is a fact that is covered up! The second prince instructed a stand-in disguised as the king to issue a mission, and used the player and the army to break off, and he himself fled on the fleet! The father and those loyal to him (such as the captain of the guard, St. Augustine and the royal assassins) were all sacrificed in the underground palace, and there was no proof of death anyway, and no one knew that the second prince had arranged such a shocking conspiracy. Now that he is not bound by his father, he can ravage as much as he wants to ravage that kind-hearted brother, and he will not be soft!

In other words, the mission of "breaking the Saramonro fleet" that he received was just an impossible mission to trick the player into dying from the beginning. And this is the kind of task that escalates the conflict between himself and his teammates, and then the team breaks down. It turned out that the second prince was the culprit.

Qingyi was angry, but immediately calmed down again, and smiled bitterly at himself: So what does it matter? Even without this damn mission, would there be eternal friends? Won't the players betray themselves in the days to come? No, I and my teammates weren't all the way from the beginning, so we couldn't come together forever. If this is said, Qingyi will have to thank the second prince.

Xue Duo laughed heartlessly: "This plot is really bloody, hahaha!" ”

"Shut up, you don't talk to no one when you're dumb!" Qingyi hurriedly scolded.

Jont still had a sad look on his face: "The second prince gave the order for the fleet to evacuate quickly...... However, no army received information that 'His Majesty is trapped in the underground palace of the capital', so no one answered His Majesty to leave! In addition to General Zeno, who was loyal to His Majesty, St. Augustine, the captain of the guard, and Descartes, the leader of the royal Assassins, fought bloodily for a long time, and also died heroically with His Majesty...... And I also accompanied His Majesty in the last moments, hoping that he would not be lonely on the way to the underworld...... 'When people are old, they are always a little lonely', this is a sentence that His Majesty occasionally said. ”

"So, Saramonro VII may still be in the Underground Palace? Now that you've all become necromantic creatures, it's likely that he's also become necromantic creatures! Qingyi grabbed the clue and shouted.

"I think so, yes." Jonte took out his handkerchief, wiped his blood and tears, and then said to Qingyi: "There is a clue you want in the library, you might as well take a look." If he could see His Majesty in person, he might know how to restore the power of this scepter. ”

Qingyi was stunned for a moment, looking at the Saramonro Scepter • Infinite Hope on the side of the table, and lost his mind for a moment. The cracked ruby was like a dead heart, with no brilliance at all.
