"Excuse me..." Zhou Linyu looked at this blood king with a thunderous reputation, and his gentle look made him feel disillusioned.
"Haha, don't mind. After all, the me 'now' is not the me you remember." The handsome man let out a hearty chuckle.
"Now?" Zhou Linyu noticed this wording.
"Yes, 'now'." The man lowered his eyes slightly.
The narrow corners of his eyes and long eyelashes reminded Zhou Linyu of Alon.
Aaron's eyelashes are also very beautiful, a bit like a girl's. The corners of his eyes are not as sharp as the person in front of him. They are a little softer, but if you squint, they are still quite scary.
Zhou Linyu noticed that his thoughts were wandering and quickly came back to his senses.
"Brady's life has three stages." The man raised three fingers, "The ignorant childhood period, the self-rescue youth period, and finally the bloody tyrant period."
"Then you are the second one?" Zhou Linyu said.
"Not exactly." The man tapped his fingers on the table, "To be precise, I am Brady who has entered the third stage from the second stage."
"So what's the difference between you and that tyrant?"
"The difference is probably that I won't directly sentence you to death for breaking into my tomb?" the man said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Zhou Linyu rolled her eyes at him.
"roar……"
At this time, Longlong, who had been a bit strange from the beginning, made a cry.
"You seem to know him...?"
Zhou Linyu frowned.
The man turned his gaze towards Long Long, his eyes showing nostalgia and sadness.
"Long time no see, Coxsackie. I'm sorry to make you like this."
"Drink..." Long Long's eyes under his helmet were fixed on the man, and he slowly approached him.
With Long Long's appearance, Zhou Linyu was worried that it would suddenly slap the person to death.
No, this person is just a remnant of Tao now, and he should have died long ago.
Zhou Linyu put away the complaints in his heart and asked: "What is your relationship with it?"
The man shook his head slightly and said: "We used to be good playmates. But we took different paths. He chose to become a knight fighting for the dynasty, while I faced a future that was unclear at the time.
"
Zhou Linyu showed doubts at the right time.
"It is not an easy thing to sit on the throne. You should know that there is no unofficial decision on the throne until everything is settled." The man smiled and said the somewhat chilling fact.
"Then how did you become the king?" Zhou Linyu said.
"Research."
"Um?"
"As the youngest prince, the power in my hands is completely inferior to those of my elder brothers. Naturally, the only thing I can rely on is knowledge." The man glanced at the empty bookshelf beside him.
Taking a deep breath, he said: "My initial research project was based on the rune spells that the dynasty has relied on since its establishment, in order to make a breakthrough.
"In the eyes of ordinary people, I was wishful thinking. The set of secret rune skills at that time had been stably passed down for hundreds of years. It was not a breakthrough that I could achieve on my own. But after my preliminary research, I discovered that the set of secret rune skills was actually
It’s pretty backward, and it hasn’t made any new innovations in at least a few decades. And maybe I can be that innovator and blaze my own path.”
"You succeeded." Zhou Linyu said.
"Are you talking about the King's Blood Army?" the man laughed.
"Isn't that your achievement?" Zhou Linyu asked.
"Haha, it is indeed my masterpiece, but for me now, it is difficult to affirm it." The man shook his head slightly, feeling a little melancholy.
"Let's talk about it in detail." Zhou Linyu was very rude.
The man looked at Zhou Linyu and said, "Little girl from later generations, I think you have the qualifications to become a queen."
The man smiled twice and did not dwell on this. He continued: "I think about it, although I have begun to make breakthroughs from a research perspective, research also requires resources, but the resources at hand are scarce. The most important thing is that
, I don’t even have a target to test various conjectures on. But when I am troubled..."
The man looked at Long Long.
Zhou Linyu realized something and frowned: "You used your friends for experiments?"
"As a result, yes, there's no excuse for that."
Zhou Linyu nodded calmly, his mood stable.
The man said: "Although this is not an excuse, to be honest, it was Coxsackie who requested it in the first place."
"roar……"
Long Long sat on the floor, seemingly intending to listen to his story with peace of mind.
"The assessments of the three major knights are very difficult. Coxsacki's talent is not satisfactory. However, he is also a noble child. As long as he pays a small price, it is not difficult to enter the Mingyan Knights. But his goal is the most difficult.
The Wind Howling Knights. In that era, no noble family could still dream of fighting knights."
The man said calmly, and Long Long turned his head away slightly.
"This is a great determination, but he is still a little short of it. So, I asked for help when I was young. Then, I also succeeded. As a beginner of rune magic, Coxsack mastered this
The three major rune series of Wind Control, Open Fire and Holy Redemption cannot be learned in plural.
"He has been appreciated by the Howling Knights, my research has been initially recognized, and I have received favor and some help from the three major knights. This is a win-win situation, and everything is happy."
"Then what?" Zhou Linyu was not shaken by his story at all. She knew that what she was listening to, whether true or false, was just a story from the past.
It is history that has long passed or even died.
"Kosagi is special, but not the best. I further improved the rune technology and increased the power of the three major runes. Mastering multiple runes was re-judged by me as unnecessary at the time.
Qi became the only knight who mastered the three major runes. Unfortunately, he could not enjoy the subsequent upgrade of a single rune.
"Coxsage is not dissatisfied. He said that he was originally a mediocre person who couldn't even join the Knights. It was me who helped him." The man looked at Long Long and his tone became softer.
But Long Long didn't respond to him.
He didn't take it seriously and continued: "He took the biggest risk, but it was me who gained the most. I continued to research, but it was difficult to make progress for a long time. During that time when I was deeply involved in the whirlpool of power struggle,
The letters from Coxsackie on the frontier are what keeps me going."
At this point, he sighed again.
"If possible, maybe it would be a good thing if I failed at that time."
Zhou Linyu glanced at Longlong, but it still made no move.
"After conventional rune technology found it difficult to break through, I turned my attention to some ancient dark witchcraft and curses. And this was also the beginning of the world's deviation. I invented the rune that explores the power in the blood of living beings. Because
After a long time, I was very excited, and after confirming that the runes were not harmful to the human body, I immediately wanted to repay Coxsackie."
Having said this, he paused.
Zhou Linyu thought about it and felt that the key point was probably reached.
"'Original Blood Knight'. That's what I called Coxsackie, who was the first to use the first version of the Blood Rune. He was the starting point for the Horang Dynasty to move into a new era, and he was also the one... who helped me kill all my opponents,
The end of the old age before me."
The man revealed a bloody storm while writing casually.
Zhou Linyu felt a kind of oppression from the secrets of history, and his eyes couldn't help but open slightly.
"Drink..." Long Long shouted softly, but it had no practical meaning.
"Then, after gaining such a powerful force, the already ambitious dynasty also braced itself up and prepared to conquer the surrounding areas. That was the long-cherished wish, or ambition, shared by generations before me. It was not for me.
One person was moved. Especially the Wind Howling Knights. As war knights considered useless by many people, they have been stationed at the border and have not been abolished, just to wait for the dynasty's strength to reach a perfect peak moment.
"Some of the Knights of the Open Flame who were opposed were abolished, and the Knights of Radiance were involved in order to increase their strength. The Knights of the Howling Wind were reorganized in response to the war. When my research results were promoted and expanded, some things gradually changed."
"This is the starting point of the Great War of the King of France." Zhou Lin said in a cold voice.
"Yes, this is the starting point of the protracted hundreds of years of continuous war." The man said calmly.
"What exactly went wrong?" Zhou Linyu asked.
When she was studying the history of the late Howang period, she could feel something was slightly wrong based on the most basic historical literacy of the nine-year compulsory education.
War is a continuation of politics, but is there really a war on such a large scale that they can fight until they have to break their heads and bleed, and they are both willing to stop?
By the end of the King's Chronicle, it was no longer a war for profit, hatred, or continuation. It was a war purely for the sake of war.
"The iron-blooded red of war fever has chosen the most suitable carrier in troubled times." The man said softly.
"Those who plan war become the will of war and become iron-blooded slaves. Those who sit on the throne of God and King in order to protect themselves also lose themselves in the fanaticism and are reborn in another attitude like gods. Everything in the past,
Crushed into dust under the bloody iron cavalry. It is not because you are lost because of your fanaticism, but because you are lost that you are fanatical."
The man's tone gradually became heavier, and a bloody red aura gradually emerged from his body: "I'm not defending myself, because that was a choice I made personally. I don't regret my madness at that moment. But I only
The only person I feel sorry for is you, Coxsackie."
