When frontline soldiers are defending their homes and countries, there are always some people who are weighing the price they can fetch for their status.
This battle is no exception.
Yiko has a very glorious surname and an even more glorious birth. Probably at least 99% of the families in this island country cannot compare to this family who is regarded as a living god.
But she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she only caught up to the tail end of the family's glory.
In the half-century dominated by modern countries, most countries not only lost their so-called imperial power, but also swept the monarchy and feudal system into the garbage dump of history. And in the memories of these "born nobles", in a few years
Ten years ago, I was still a member of the privileged class. Now I have to carefully avoid cell phones and cameras even when I lose my temper with servants. I am no different from a "commoner".
A mascot, an "antique" that proves that its people have history and culture, is the internal and external positioning of the Sakurajima royal family.
Iko didn't think so when she was young, it was the tail end of Sakurajima's golden age. When she was a child, she followed her uncle and saw a militaristic war country. At that time, the imperial family was the real imperial power. When she left
When she was outside, those cheers, those heartfelt enthusiasm and tears became the past that she was unwilling to step out of.
But don’t get me wrong, she finally embarked on this path not to revive her family and era, but to revive her family and era.
“I haven’t had enough good days, why am I getting old?”
Wrinkles had begun to appear on her once beautiful face, and in her late thirties, the "princess" couldn't stand it anymore.
She could accept the passage of time, but she couldn't accept the end of her wealthy life. She couldn't accept that when she accidentally appeared on the TV screen with crow's feet, she couldn't accept that she actually discovered that she still had some invisible genetics.
Illness, most likely unknown in old age.
".I want to live happily, just like the little princess back then, without worrying about anything."
So, she mobilized all the power she could mobilize.
"Your Highness, birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws and there is no way to solve them."
And in the era when the extraordinary began to emerge, when she asked about the local extraordinary power but received no response, she naturally started to use some traditional skills of the island country.
".As long as you can regain your youth, it doesn't matter which one of the eight million gods in any world you are."
Worshiping evil gods and cults is a traditional art in many countries outside the Eastern Kingdom, and even the top leaders of many countries have completely fallen into it. After all, on the one hand, they already have everything, and there is no limit to the human heart, so they will naturally
Pursuing illusory things like longevity and the afterlife, on the other hand, they have the mentality of voters who allow themselves to enjoy all this with peace of mind, and will instinctively find the so-called faith and righteousness of death.
In this world, evil gods do exist. When none of the evil gods in this world could satisfy Princess Yiko, she naturally turned to evil gods from other lands.
As a result, she became the "insider" before Ba Zhao arrived in this world.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't just happen to find Ba Zhao, but among the more than thirty real and fake evil gods she found, Ba Zhao happened to be there.
Once a traitor to the country or tribe crosses that bottom line, they will not hesitate to sell more.
And those evil gods from foreign lands never realize that there is any problem with making random promises.
Moreover, many "promises" themselves do not need to be fulfilled. Even if the contract does have to be fulfilled, there are countless classic ways to misinterpret it.
For example, if a person who longs for immortality is turned into a living stone, and a person who longs for a healthy body is directly replaced with a head, as long as he is still healthy at that moment, the contract will naturally be considered fulfilled.
To fully realize the "wishes" requires a professional legal practitioner and a dictionary-style contract that allows opponents to find loopholes. But obviously, most "believers" cannot negotiate terms with their masters, and Yiko's
The brain is not rational to this extent.
".I gave you the defense layout, I gave you the plane coordinates, and I helped you get the original defense commander in (jail), and you do this to me??!"
Yiko couldn't understand, really couldn't understand, why she would suffer such a bad luck.
Obviously he gave everything he had and gave everything he had to give, which even directly led to the collapse of the defense line. In the last period, he even sold his brother and family, making the royal family's escape a failure.
All the secrets of the clan were leaked, but in the end, he was given this?
".I have fulfilled my promise, given you a young body, and married you." In front of her, there lay a huge whale man as big as a small mountain. He was her master and her husband.
The words of the "fishman lord" attracted undisguised laughter from the onlookers.
Who doesn't know that this fish-man has at least hundreds of creatures.
And the person in front of him, who was furious, was a "little guy" who was no longer than his knees.
An ugly half-murloc has been twisted by anger and humiliation, and on the ceiling beside it, there are still mocking murloc heads, pouring the brain of life into the murloc, giving it a "new life".
For these advanced people of the Octopus race, this is a very mature technology.
Yiko is not smart, but what her staff told her was right. A contract with an alien creature is a prerequisite for making a deal.
And before she sold everything, she did think carefully about the future of the main base. In her impression, outsiders came to occupy her country and needed local agents, and she, with her noble blood, was the best candidate.
By.
And when she regains her youth, she can still get married to a rich man. She is not stupid enough to succeed by seducing her with sex. Foreign marriage partners can increase their value as a "comprador". Family marriage is the safest way to form an alliance.
, for something, she is willing to sacrifice her body.
Even if you only think about the royal family, you can regain your youth, you can transform from a royal family to a real king, even if you have a group of fathers above your head, it will be better than now. At least, that's what she thought in the past.
But now, not only was she put into the body of a young fishman, but she also suffered from a bunch of skin diseases and diseases inexplicably, making her whole body itchy and uncomfortable. She also had to be witnessed and laughed at by her "brother" and "people" for her ugliness.
The "heads" hanging from the ceiling are the remaining members of my family who have been squeezed out of all their value. They are still alive, that is, my "husband" wants to make fun of himself.
In this hall, faces are laughing at themselves. What's even more tragic is that Yiko clearly knows that she has become a clown, but she acts angrier, baring her teeth and claws more like a clown.
"Otherwise, if they think I am useless, they will trample her to death." She was very scared. She had seen her husband show an expression of "I'm tired of it, I'll trample her to death" several times.
At this point, the good education and life experience I received in the past have finally come online, and I can live without losing my value. That is, my "husband" needs time to play like a clown.
Only if you have value can you survive. If there is no value, then at least the interesting "clown" thinks so and starts the first round of performances.
"I am a princess, you must respect me and love me"
"Haha." Then, the entire courtyard was filled with happy laughter.
And in the shadow of the hall, Lu Ping'an also laughed very loudly, and his laughter merged with that of other fishmen, regardless of each other.
