Kingdom’s Bloodline

.lie.

Amid the faint roar of the platform, Thales was stunned for a full three seconds.

During those three seconds, looking at the pointed Ricky under the firelight, many scenes of face-to-face with the past "predecessors" flashed through Thales' mind

Ashida's calm elegance.

It's not just me, every magician in the world can use their methods to easily...destroy the world in an instant, with the palm of their hand.

Giza's creepy grin.

You are walking down the path of misfortune... Sorcerer, this is not a gift or a blessing... it is a curse and a bad luck.

The mysterious figure of Thoros.

Remember, boy, be yourself...even if you think you've got it under control...don't take it lightly.

The rising platform shook slightly, waking up Thales in a daze.

"So what do you mean?"

The astonished Thales hurriedly asked

"The magicians didn't kill the gods? Is that a lie they made up? Or were they themselves deceived?"

But Ricky just sneered lightly.

Sackel was on the side, looking at them deeply and silently.

Thales is not reconciled

"Or the disasters have never surpassed the gods, and the power of the gods is far above the magician? Extremely powerful?"

Ricky remained silent, he just closed his eyes gently, as if he was chewing on the eagerness and confusion on Taylor's face at this moment.

"Ha ha……"

Under Sackel's thoughtful eyes and Thales' questioning eyes, Ricky's shoulders shook violently, and he let out an uncontrollable laugh.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Ricky raised his head in a long smile, looking at Thales who couldn't catch his smile at all

"Kill, transcend, far above, powerful?"

"Look at these words you chose."

At that moment, Ricky's smile slowly melted away, and his eyes were extremely sharp, as if they were about to pierce Thales' eyes.

"The understanding of mortals is always barren and narrow," Ricky said slowly, "but they are always self-righteous without knowing it."

"Just like you are now, honey."

Thales was stunned.

"I don't understand." The boy subconsciously said.

Ricky turned his head away

"When you talk about two related objects, you always imagine a chessboard, don't you?"

checkerboard?

Thales was at a loss again.

Ricky slowly raised his hands and slowly clenched into fists in the air, during which there was a crisp sound of joints

"Then the two parties involved are placed on both ends of the chessboard in your imagination, and start a chess game. They abide by the rules you made up and play games with each other to decide who wins and who loses, who is higher and who is lower, and who is better. Strong or weak?"

He looked at his fists, his tone full of mockery and disdain.

Thales frowned, "You are a god, and there are disasters?"

and maybe...

demon.

Thales secretly glanced at Ricky.

Ricky sneered, he looked at Thales, his fists approached slowly in the air, and touched each other lightly.

"You seem to be a stupid little kid who doesn't know how to think and only nods and giggles. You pick out two characters from a mythical bard and a historical drama, and discuss who is better. The standard is 'Look at a and b Who can lift that big, stinky, hard rock covered in mud in the sewer at the second corner on the left when he goes out from the door of his house'."

The tone of his words was still so disdainful.

Thales was stunned for a second, then shook his head desperately, as if trying to clear his overwhelmed brain.

"Wait wait...can you, can you stop using metaphors?"

Thales is annoyed

"I'm already confused enough that I just can't stand this."

The prince looked frustrated.

Ricky just lowered his fists, narrowed his eyes, shook his head and clicked his tongue.

But Saker, who had been silent all this time, interrupted at this moment

"You mean, we thought that the two sides of the chess game could follow the same rules for comparison,

But in fact, one side of the chess game can ignore the rules we think, directly cross the board and eat the opponent's pieces? "

Sackel stared at Ricky closely, while Thales, who was listening, was slightly taken aback, thoughtful.

Disregarding the rules we think?

He means……

This time, Ricky finally stopped joking and looked at Sackel seriously.

"No, I mean..."

The demon and the punishment knight looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally spoke softly

"The two sides of the chess game, perhaps from the very beginning, shouldn't be placed on both sides of the chessboard at all."

Thales was taken aback.

Shouldn't it be placed on both sides of the board?

Ricky stared slightly, pointing to his head

"What they are playing is not the same game of chess, not the same kind of chess, not even chess."

"It's not even appropriate for them to be in your head at the same time."

Saker's expression changed slightly.

Ricky turned to Thales again, as if enjoying the feeling of teasing the prince

"And my dear, what you just asked me self-righteously was who won this game of chess?"

Thales was speechless.

Saker looked serious.

The expression on Ricky's face was still calm and slightly comfortable.

But at that moment, Thales remembered many memories that he had neglected for a long time

A tense confrontation in the Temple of the Sunset.

That's right, I am Lisia Arend, the chief priest of the Sunset Temple, the goddess of the sunset, and the only spokesperson in the world.

Unusual communication in Haoyue Temple

If the gods really exist, if they are the creators of all things, how can they allow this to happen?

Even in the black path under Longxiao City, the light on the silver shadow man flickered.

After death, I was very lucky, and got the blessing and gift of a great being...

Thinking of all the history of his dealings with "gods" more or less, Thales was slightly shocked!

"'Ordinary people often use their own limited imagination to understand the gods in their hearts, which are the gods they look forward to, fear, hate, admire, love, and worship.'"

Ricky and Zak Erziqi were taken aback.

They both turned their eyes and saw Thales in a daze, subconsciously repeating what he had heard

"Mortals always contemplate the gods with their barren minds."

"Because the life span is short, imagine the gods as eternal existences."

"Because the power is weak, the gods are presupposed as beings with unparalleled power."

"Because I consider myself a member of the multitude, I imagine the gods as higher and stronger kin."

Thales took a deep breath, with a serious expression on his face.

"The problem is, eternity, power, life, these mortal things..."

"If the gods are indeed beyond the comprehension of mortals, standing in different angles, do they really see these in their eyes?"

In the strange and surprised eyes of Ricky and Sack El, Thales lowered his eyes and stared at the front, with a heavy tone and an ethereal tone

"'Because the real gods, perhaps far beyond our imagination, are another kind of existence.'"

Thales exhaled and meditated quietly.

On the slowly rising platform, Ricky and Sackel looked at each other in surprise.

"Whose is this?" Saker asked softly.

"The Temple of the Bright Moon in Dragon Clouds City," Thales didn't look back, as if he was still immersed in the thoughts just now

"Premier Jewel."

When Saker heard Dragon Clouds City's name, he couldn't help frowning deeply.

Ricky was silent, then sighed softly.

"very nice."

"This is probably the most detailed description of the indescribable gods... I have ever heard in my life."

Indescribable gods...

Thales frowned.

He suddenly felt that six years ago, on that night full of blood and conspiracy, what the seemingly neurotic High Priest Jewel told him in the Haoyue Temple might be...

Incomparably important.

"Your Highness," Ricky sighed, and unconsciously replied to the formal word, "You can always surprise me."

Ricky's eyes hardened.

"Haoyue."

"Sure enough, when the Myojin Church was destroyed, the Holy Day Church was split, and the setting sun stood firm, and the sun was corrupt and corrupt, and the two temples used the guise of Errol to cheat each other by cheating, cheating and drinking. The indisputable Haoyue..."

Ricky sighed

"Even though the mountains are gone and the bright moon is still in the sky, the people of the Northland really have some knowledge."

But in the next second, Ricky withdrew his rare solemn tone and changed the subject.

"But...she is so, are she sure she won't be deducted wages?"

This joke brought Thales and Sak Erzizi back to reality.

Ricky pulled the bag over and pulled out a piece of jerky.

"Eat it, only one," Ricky smiled and tossed the jerky to the weak Sack El

"For your prince's sake."

Saker was slightly taken aback, and glanced at Thales.

The prince shrugged and showed a complicated and helpless smile.

The knight had nothing more to say, he lowered his head and bit off the jerky.

The three were silent for a while, each thinking.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

With clear eyes, Saker put the last part of jerky into his mouth.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

But this time, the penalty knight raised his head and looked at the mercenaries around him

"And, as an underground demon, how did you become the leader of this group of traitors from the Tower of Termination? They are willing to follow an inhuman existence?"

Sackel narrowed his eyes and looked at every member of the Sword of Disaster

"That's why you trust these people?"

Following the punishment knight's gaze, Ricky also looked at each of his subordinates.

Crassus of the Sword of Disaster was silent for a while.

"You know, punishment knight."

Ricky's eyes were deep, but his tone was somewhat regretful and emotional

"Do you know why we are always understaffed, and even this operation requires the help of the Shadow Shield?"

Saker didn't answer, just waited quietly.

In Thales' eyes, Ricky put his hand on his chin, sighed in a very humane way, and pointed not far away.

"Sarande Clay."

The eyes of Thales and Sackel followed his fingers, looking at the middle-aged disaster sword with extremely fast sword speed.

"He comes from the Tower of Reconstruction, one of the disgraceful products of the Northlanders' pioneering war decades ago. His father is a nobleman of the Northland with a title, and his mother is a barbarian captured in the mountains. For this reason, he will always will not be accepted as a member of either parent."

Clay, who was not far away, turned his head vigilantly, and found that it was Ricky and the others who were looking at him, and immediately cast a questioning look in this direction.

Ricky waved to him, signaling that everything was fine.

"The northern lords who rebuilt the tower regarded him as a pawn to appease the barbarians after the war and whitewash the peace, but secretly they only thought he was a dirty and ugly little bastard. The elders of the barbarians relied on him to negotiate with the northerners, Bargaining, but at the same time dislike him is a sign of being conquered, and it is the shame of defeat in the tribe because of adultery."

Ricky's tone became a little sad.

"No matter how perfect his skills are, Clay's identity will always precede his ability, but he still has no way of knowing who he is, because he is neither a Northlander nor a mountain savage, but always a wanderer. Between two ethnic groups, homeless orphans."

Thales and Sackel didn't speak, but just looked at each other.

Ricky snorted and turned the other way.

"Falcon Josh, he is a Kailunsa native from the Thorny Land, and he once served in the Royal Secret Service of the Allenbia Kingdom."

Thales recognized that the person resting on the edge of the stone platform was the spy that the mercenaries sent to the Prison of Bones in advance.

"Among the ridiculous and pathetic political disputes in Allenbia, like many of his peers, he lived in a muddleheaded world just to know whether the 'Kingdom Mission' was real or not, blindly obeying the orders of his superiors, and betraying his conscience, Stained with blood, they arrested, tortured, tortured, and persecuted batch after batch of "enemies of the kingdom", thinking that in exchange for their own safety in the world, they would deceive their wives and children every night. To myself 'I'm just going to support a family'."

Ricky's eyes were complicated, and he shook his head at Josh, who also turned his head with emotion

"Until one day, his father-in-law was also designated as an 'enemy of the kingdom' and was thrown into prison."

"And Josh's boss also turned Josh's wife and children into bargaining chips for torture in order to support the family."

"Since that day, the excuses he used to deceive himself have shattered."

Not knowing if it touched something, Sackel sighed softly after listening.

Ricky seemed to be aroused emotionally, he turned to Thales, his eyes dimmed

"As for Sonny, who unfortunately died in battle, he was a Neda native from the Ligudan State in the Eastern Continent."

Thales couldn't help being taken aback when he thought of Sonny who was using an ax and was finally killed in the battle with Little Barney.

"That's right, he used to be the most promising and representative professional bandit among the Nieda people. He was quite good at it and made great achievements. Until one day, he fell in love with a girl he kidnapped."

Ricky stared at Thales ecstatically, but seemed to be looking at another person

"Sonny gave up everything. He just wanted to get married with her, have a family and have children. For this reason, he did not hesitate to turn against the gang he belonged to and fight endlessly."

Ricky sighed softly, revealing unspeakable pain in his tone

"But after going through countless winds and rains, when everything has settled and is complete and happy, and he has given birth to children and lived a stable life, his wife who was taken captive is in himself, in his daughter, in his son, and in everything except Sonny. The whole family's meals were poisoned..."

Thales opened his eyes wide.

Ricky's words continue

"...the last, bleakest, most helpless, and cruelest revenge for a weak woman who cannot grasp her fate."

Ricky said slowly

"From that day on, Sonny understood that maybe this world has destined him not to be happy, but to sink into hell."

Sackel pursed his lips.

Ricky took a deep breath and looked into the distance as if he had recovered

"Of course, there are also your most familiar colleagues in the Royal Guard, Colin Semile, who lost everything after the tragedy eighteen years ago, and his old acquaintance's daughter, Marina Norfolk, who was born aristocrat but fell to the end of the world. "

Hearing Semir's name, Saker's expression was sad, and he said "I'm sorry."

I don't know who it is for.

Semir.

Marina.

Thales stared blankly at the two people in the distance, then at Clay and Josh.

This is... the sword of disaster?

Ricky stared at the knight for a few seconds, then shook his head indifferently.

"Everyone who becomes an inheritor outside the tower has his own story," Ricky said, the light in his eyes became serious

"Everyone is an inhuman existence rejected by this world."

rejected by this world.

At that moment, Thales remembered the lonely figure with one man and one sword a long time ago.

It's called the Sin of Hell for a reason.

We were supposed to leave the world permanently, but we tricked the ferrymen of the Hell River time and time again, avoiding the call of death at the nick of time.

Therefore, our existence is the sin of Hell River, and it is the proof that it has not dutifully controlled death.

Thales was fascinated.

"Do you understand it?"

Ricky looked up sternly, and answered the punishment knight's question just now

"It's not me they're after."

"What they follow is the hatred and anger in their hearts that stems from despair and injustice, and grows because of it, but has nowhere to vent. It can only burn inexhaustibly in the empty wound, and the eternal resentment and anger."

Sackel stared.

At that moment, Thales clearly felt that the Ricky in front of him was different.

The power of termination in his body steamed up again, giving the young man an extremely dangerous premonition

scorching hot.

repressed.

heavy.

Thales shivered, and the scene of the sword of disaster and the shield of phantom fighting selflessly appeared in front of his eyes

Fierce, crazy, and relentless.

Sackel obviously felt something too, the entire body of the punishment knight was stiff, his right arm was trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing his desire to make a move.

But Ricky didn't pay any attention to the strange behavior of the punishment knight, his eyes were like knives, coldly cutting every inch of air in front of him.

Even his voice is a little more trembling than before

"This is far from what the so-called End Swordsmen in the Tower of the End who have been corrupt for many years, accustomed to flattering and flattering the children of nobles from all over the world, and working in both directions among the major powers, whitewashing the peace, and hypocrisy can imagine."

The next second, Ricky looked straight at Sackel, as if he could see through his soul.

"Join us, punishment knights."

His tone was firm and unquestionable.

"There are too many similarities between us. You are a powerful warrior, but just like other sad creatures, you still cannot escape the cage of fate."

"You may not understand what we mean, but you will, and the fate we will show you is not inescapable."

Sackel remained silent.

Ricky's expression was still terrifying, he stretched out his right hand to the penalty knight

"In the gloomy world, we found each other alone, just so that one day, you and I can see the hoped-for tomorrow and walk towards the palace of requiem."

Thales arched his eyebrows, only feeling that Ricky's words had some inexplicable meaning.

But Saker just moved his butt, hugged his injured left arm, and turned his head.

"Sorry, I swore it."

"This sword is wielded only for the imperial order," the knight's voice was hollow and hoarse, but there was another kind of calmness and determination.

"No other use."

The knight's words were simple and direct, which made Ricky's face as stiff as his outstretched palm.

This sword is wielded only for the imperial order.

Listening to the unique words translated from the ancient empire, Thales sank slightly. He remembered the appearance of Naji and Nai before their death.

Ricky frowned as he looked at the stubborn Sackel.

In the end, he shook his head with disgust and helplessness

"Damn Imperials."

"Di Ling, huh?"

The demon then turned to Thales.

Thales, who was burned by the flames of war between the two, twisted his buttocks subconsciously, changed his sitting position, and solemnized his appearance.

teenage eyebrow raised

"Uh, cough cough, maybe you should go find that red-haired guy with a crossbow over there... He should be helpful for your group's promotion and recruitment..."

But not waiting for Thales to finish.

"No."

"Forget it," Ricky didn't care about him, just looked away and waved his hand in disappointment, "Forget it."

"Not the time."

Thales, who had been looking forward to it for no reason, didn't even finish the joke, and the smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't had time to retract.

There was an indescribable, faint embarrassment in his heart.

Am I that bad?

At this moment, the penalty knight added a sentence "By the way, no one is interested in self-hypnosis cults except lunatics."

Ricky was silent for a moment.

"Are you crazy? Self-hypnotized?"

Ricky chuckled lightly, and returned to the calm and profound character of a leader.

"You know, a long, long time ago..."

"I am, when the two queens of magic were not queens," Ricky leaned back on his stone pedestal, a disconcerting smile on his face, "they had another nickname among mages, and the other had been Forgotten nickname."

The Magic Queen's...

nickname?

Thales' nerves tensed up, and he subconsciously pricked up his ears.

Sackel was also slightly taken aback, his gaze bypassed Thales and returned to Ricky

"The Queen of Magic?"

Ricky was not in a hurry to answer, he tilted his head and looked at the penalty knight with interest.

"Sakel, tell me."

"Didn't you find it strange when you purchased the core of the magic gun from the imperial kingdom? Why do only the queens have that kind of technology? It affects the situation of the whole world?"

"Eighteen years ago, your colleagues, your kingdom, your past... When you look back, do you feel that the world is so unfair?"

The next second, Ricky's tone became deep, as if he was a mysterious fortune-teller

"Feel fate so... ruthless?"

destiny?

Ricky's series of questions almost confused Thales and Sackel.

Saker frowned

"What are you implying?"

Ricky smiled.

He looked around, as if he was worried about something.

"Listen, dear."

"Just like Brother Truth, before becoming the 'Queen', the two magicians Bloodthorn and Heilan were once called by the mages..."

At that moment, the demon looked at Sackel and Thales, with both mockery and warning in his eyes

"Twins of Destiny."

Thales and Sackel were both stunned.

destiny……

Gemini?

Wait, combined with what he said earlier...

Is what he is implying what I think?

In the astonishment of being almost unable to think, Thales saw Ricky say in the most complicated and difficult tone.

"Knight, your king is great."

"But he failed to defeat fate."

Sackel stared blankly at the demon, his face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously shook his head.

"Trust me," Ricky raised his head, and looked at the dark surrounding walls in the dim firelight

"The prison of bones is not the end, fate is a bigger prison."

Destiny is a bigger prison.

The distraught Thales was breathing in a trance.

"And we have the key to the prison..."

Ricky took out the green spar in his arms, and looked at Thales, the eagerness in his eyes gave the latter a chill.

"Perhaps... the only key."

For a while, Sackel and Thales were speechless.

"Now," Ricky laughed

"Who is the lunatic and who is hypnotizing himself?"

silence.

There was a long silence.

Amidst the endless noise, Sackel finally let out a sigh.

But he finally bowed his head.

"You, your name is Ricky, right?"

"My name is Ricky now."

Ricky changed his relaxed posture, withdrew his sensational expression, and raised a smile, "Reconsider my proposal?"

Sackel raised his head and his eyes became clear again.

he was looking straight at rick

"I suddenly have a feeling that you... don't look like a devil."

"It's more like...human."

At that moment, Ricky was taken aback.

His gaffe and Sackel's words made Thales suddenly wake up that the guy in front of him was a different kind.

What he says... can't be trusted.

"interesting."

Ricky remembered something and chuckled

"How do you know what a demon looks like?"

Sackel didn't speak right away, he stared at Ricky for a long, long time.

"In many records, the demons from hell are cruel, harsh, and tyrannical," Sackel said in a low tone.

"Inhuman."

Ricky frowned slightly.

He stroked his chin, as if in deep thought

"Well, this one, the real devil is indeed inhuman."

The next second, Ricky suddenly leaned forward and put his hands on the ground, lowered his gaze, and looked up at Sackel and Thales.

He smiled mysteriously at the two

"Like, they can be so inhuman... that you think they have humanity."

Thales trembled slightly.

Looking at Ricky's rather humane smile, and chewing on the deep meaning behind these words, the young man only felt an inexplicable shudder.
