Chapter 149: Mortals
"I am Prince Kresheen of the Sheehan family, who was once bewitched by Jochris's black magic, and now I have come to my senses." Cresian said.
"Sure enough, it's you! My lord! Is there really any rumored black magic in this world? I thought it was just a rumor of the sorcerers......" said the Pirate King Olu, "I only know of the possibility of dragons, and it is said that the dark magic came from the dragons who once lived......"
"King Rollssheen was killed by a dragon, and I have seen everything about the dark magic with my own eyes, and it is true." Cresian didn't need to say so much to a prisoner in prison, and it felt unreal and ridiculous to mention it, but with so many witnesses, he couldn't tell the truth, unless it was all an illusory dream......
"That is, the royal family has already defeated Jokris, no, maybe it is still in the midst of a scuffle, if it has been defeated, there is no need for the adults to come here......"
"It's just a coincidence...... Cresian said lightly.
"My lord! I beg you to say a few kind words for me in the presence of the king when the time comes...... When all this war is settled, I am willing to change my ways, give all the remaining treasures I have hidden to the treasury, and even lead you to defeat the other pirate kings and seize those ill-gotten gains, the war consumes a huge amount of money, these will be a great addition, our king is still very young, he will definitely listen to your good words! My lord! All I want is to be able to escape from this hellish place! ”
"That's what you should do, and as for what the king will say, we can't promise anything, you have to know that." George, the captain of the royal fleet, said.
"Hmm...... The current king is King Ronnihon and I trust our king and royal officials to give you a viable way out based on your performance. Cressien said he couldn't promise anything, not even if he would be able to stand on the throne again.
Of course, George, the captain of the royal fleet, will help him, they need each other, and the Empress Dowager Inni Randall will probably oppose this matter, but she does not dare to take his life without authorization, giving him a name instead of giving real power is a good note for her, the former Prime Minister McCrandell has a bad relationship with the Empress Dowager Inni Randall, maybe he will remain neutral or stand on his side, as long as the rest of the people have no conflict of interest with him, most of them are acquiescing and admitting attitudes, of course, everything is just an imagination in his mind, The situation in the Dubrovnik palace is complex and ever-changing, but at least allegiance to the king allows him to continue to live as a nobleman, and only those who live are valuable and just......
"The king we see is not just a mortal, you are all wrong, he is the king chosen by the gods in troubled times, a symbol of light, although he is young, he will definitely agree with my ideas! What are the major faults of a person who did not wholeheartedly support the country before the reform, and ...... I saw in my dreams that he would later command thousands of armies, resist the terrible darkness, and build a mighty kingdom, and there were no lies in my words, everything was from the heart, wars and bloodshed, turmoil and strife, which shook the foundations of the whole nation, and he needed all the strength he could to support him, and he needed me...... What I'm worried about is that the war is far from ending, I am a former king of pirates and have experienced large and small battles, the previous king Rolls Sheehan was killed by dragons, if the black magic of Jocris's camp is also related to dragons, will the dragons be awakened one after another, if the sleeping and hidden dragons are all awakened, God knows how many dragons are still alive in this world, and then the world will fall into the next disaster, adults, my words are by no means alarmist, compared to the threats and rumors of those dragons, And what are the pirate kings? ”
"King of Pirates Oulu, you impress me today, your loyalty and worries are far more than those of us mortals......" The captain of the royal fleet George said with a sneer, he didn't expect that today's king of pirates Oulu has regarded Cresian as a communicator and listener, and even more as a life-saving straw, if he racked his brains to come up with it, maybe the captain of the royal fleet George and these people will only laugh at it, but Creseon is completely different, He must consider all matters from the point of view of the state, he is a close relative of the king, a member of the royal family, the younger brother of the former king Rolls Sheehn, and his power and prestige are once immense.
"This war is not over yet, the king of pirates in his cell thinks about the next war, is this the instinct of being a pirate?" Kreshion said slowly, his eyes shining like a light red candle, as if looking into the soul of Oulu in the prison cell, "Oulu, I have taken all your words to heart, I hope this will not happen, now our king is loved by all the people, and soon the war will be over, but if you really want to serve the royal family and the country, there will naturally be a place for you here, so be it......"
The pirate king Oulu sat down on the floor of the cell, his arms folded on his knees, the flickering firelight flickered, the footsteps of Creseon and George, the captain of the royal fleet, gradually disappeared, leaving the sound of rats crawling, he thought to himself, black and white, evil and justice, humans and dragons, life and death and other things, the pirate king Oulu could not deny that he was just boasting about the threat of the dragon, just to attract the attention and attention of Kreshion, but he saw the city swallowed by the dragon's flames in his dream, Countless people crawled out of the ruined building, screaming, screaming, what the hell does this mean? Is it an omen of the gods? He didn't like it, what could a pirate in a cell do?
He raised his eyes and stared at the torch for a long time without blinking, watching it shake and change, and after seeing the curtain of fire...... No matter what...... There was nothing but fire, fire, and after a while, the eyes began to water.
The gods may not have appeared to him, and he was indeed tired of saying so many words today, and the pirate king Olu curled up on the straw and entrusted himself to sleep.
In his dreams he was no longer a pirate, he was a brave knight on a war horse, holding high his sword, slaying demons and dragons, and shaking the world, and the whole world praised his heroic deeds, preached his epic chapters, he was rewarded by the king, countless riches and fame flocked to him, the ladies of the nobility cast adoring and obsessive glances at him, the commoners applauded and cheered for him, and the whole country went crazy for him......
If he hadn't been born as a pirate, but in a knight's house, he would have died on the battlefield instead of in this cold, unforgiving cell......
