Chapter 35. The Five Priests of the Old Witch Cult!)
‘This is even more uncomfortable than killing me.’
If someone else said this, Simon would have sneered.
After all, it is natural for human beings to be afraid of death.
But if the object is this old man...
Simon looked at the dying old man in the image.
This old man, known as the Conqueror of the Great, was indeed eager for death.
Simon could feel it.
If possible, the other party even wants to die now...
"But even if you want to die like this... this simple idea is not allowed."
The Conqueror Emperor spoke.
The madman who had fought for his whole life had a calm eyes at this moment, and his dark blue and turbid eyes reflected the sea of heavy rain and thunder clouds.
Yes, even if the conquering Emperor wants to die now, he is not allowed.
The Kingdom of Eternal Winter, the Duchy of Steel is eyeing it, and the vast territory of the empire is surrounded by enemies.
They are waiting.
Waiting for the conquest emperor to fall down, waiting for the empire to insurgency...
In a sense, the death of conquering the Emperor was no longer his own business.
His death will also touch the interests of some nobles and royal families.
Even Simon didn't want him to die immediately.
At least before finding the last part of the Thousand-Faced Magic Tool-
Therefore, the conquering the emperor cannot die.
Even if he wants to die, he is not allowed. The royal family and nobles in the imperial capital will use all means to prosper his life and let him continue to live.
This is the final value of conquering the Great Emperor before his death.
"It's funny, Simon, I've conquered cities and bounded countries, and there are countless territory under the empire... In the end, I can't even control my own life and death..."
The Conqueror Emperor looked at the Pearl again:
"Claude was divided into the northern territory by me, and Kariya was sent to the eastern territory by me. In fact, even so, they were still unsatisfied."
He said and shook his head.
Claude, Kalia.
This refers to the eldest son of the conquering the Great Emperor, Prince Claude, and the second son of the second son of Calia.
The eldest son Claude was sent to the northern territory and showed unimaginable heroism in the constant friction with the Kingdom of Eternal Dong. His military power was in control, and the territory of the northern territory would soon fall into his hands.
As the leader of the territory, the second son Kariya has won the support of many local nobles. If this momentum continues, it will be natural for the Eastern territory to be integrated into a family.
These two are real and powerful men, and they do have outstanding political and military talents, which is not popular.
But in addition to these two people... there is also a direct bloodline that conquered the emperor.
"Olia, the third princess of the Prison Tower."
Simon murmured to himself that name.
Unlike the eldest prince and the second prince who have been away for many years, the third prince's daughter, the conquered emperor, was left by his side, and in recent years he has even been imprisoned in a tower.
This is how the name of the Three Emperors in the Prison Tower comes from.
Many people in the imperial capital have made various speculations.
For example, the third princess was not favored by the emperor, or the emperor hated Olia and did not want her to disturb the crown prince between the eldest prince and the second prince, so she deliberately sent her into the tower to imprison her.
There are many different opinions.
But the most critical part has not changed.
That is the fact that Princess Oria fell out of favor.
No minister was willing to get close to Oria. Similarly, she had no team under her command, she was just a bare commander.
But is that true?
Captivity, in a sense, is also a kind of protection.
Because he was born at the latest, Oria, as the third princess, has encountered countless terrible assassinations and attacks since she was a child.
Assassination, poison, bomb, magic curse...
It was Oria who grew up from this kind of living environment.
Imprisoned in the tower... This is actually the protection of the Conqueror Emperor's protection of Oria. Because the Conqueror Emperor's body became worse day after day, his mastery of his subordinates and nobles became worse and worse.
If Oria is not sent into the tower...
When Simon thought of this, the Conqueror Emperor in the image spoke again:
"Simon, what I need your help is actually very simple. I think you should have guessed it."
"I hope you can take care of my child after my death, the third princess Olia. If you let go of it, the child will be dealt with by her brothers soon after my death."
The Conquering Emperor's eyes remained calm:
"For the sake of your friendship with me, I'm asking you so... and I know, Simon..."
The voice of the conquering emperor was instantly lowered, and his originally calm eyes became sharp in an instant:
"The depths of your heart are actually longing for chaos, Simon."
“…” Simon.
Simon didn't say anything, but subconsciously narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed the teacup with his fingertips.
"Hahaha! I know clearly, Simon! You are essentially the same type of person as me!"
The dying Conquer Emperor held up from the bed, and he pulled his mouth and smiled happily.
After a long time, the laughter came to an abrupt end.
At the same time, it was the cold voice of the Conquering Emperor in his ears—
"Then you can't refuse Oria. Simon. Only by mastering her as one of the crown princes... can you successfully take over the Western Union."
"Ah... I really want to see... what kind of music you can play in the map I have drawn... This is also the reason why I protect Oria..."
After saying this, the Conquer Emperor fell back on the bed. He closed his eyes tiredly and continued in a faint voice:
"Let me tell you another news. There are more than a group of old witches who left the imperial capital... The old witches who assassinated you a few days ago were just vanguards like scouts. The real attack force was "Dead Word" by one of the five priests of the old witches."
"One of the five great priests of the old witch sect?" Simon frowned, and he stood up and looked at the image in the air.
But that is no longer helpful.
The images in the air blurred and eventually disappeared intovisibility.
"...It's still the same as before. This war madman...the old man who likes to swell his appetite." Simon sighed and rubbed his temples at the same time.
The fifth seat of the five high priests of the Witch Old Cult is "Dead Word".
According to legend, the other party has the protection of a witch. "Death Word" is not his name, but his power name. His power can control the army of the dead, and there is no grass growing wherever he passes. He has once captured the border fortresses of the Yongdong Kingdom... It is a natural disaster for all countries.
And this kind of tough character actually crossed various levels along the road... and rushed towards the gray moon?
Not to mention anything else, Simon really feels that he is deeply loved by these psychopaths.
I am your boss! Can you live if I die?
You don't know what's going on in your mind?!
What a group of crazy pig teammates!
It's so hard for me-
"The most important thing is to find the Thousand-faced Magic Tool on the other side. There is not much time left. These people really like to come over to make trouble at these tense moments."
