"Your Majesty, the Jinyao Territory first distributed a batch of limited edition free magic game helmets to nobles and believers in various empires and kingdoms throughout the human world through the Palace of Light."
"Free?" Emperor Rex on the throne frowned, "The entire human world? Even if it's just a part, the cost is quite staggering."
"Yes, it is indeed amazing. According to my preliminary estimate, this investment accounted for almost 70% of the entire Huanglong Wine's early revenue, or even more." Old Kovacs said with emotion in his voice, "When I got this data
At that time, my first reaction was that the Third Highness was crazy. He left Huanglongjiu, such a good financial source, to play some magic game, and invested such an astonishing amount of money, but...
"Now the first sale of magic games has caused the whole world to boil..." Old Kovacs said with a wry smile: "The magic game helmet ordering meeting in Jinyao territory has almost caught up with the three-year human world trade event.
The grand occasion of the conference, even the always proud elves are here, this is just the beginning! In terms of the revenue from magic games, the magic game helmet itself is still a small part, and the charging cost of the magic game helmet can theoretically be unlimited.
Keep going! You can imagine what huge and long-term benefits this magic game will bring! If the Dragon Clan is the creator of the magic game, then the Third Highness is the second 'mother' who truly gives this game its broad vitality! Like this
With such vision, such courage, and such talent, no one can compare with him, whether it is the Empire's Government Affairs Council, the Department of Commerce, or even the entire human world!"
"In thirty years, this is the first time I have heard you praise a person so highly." Emperor Rex took a deep breath and nodded, "He is indeed dazzling, so dazzling...will he be more dazzling?"
Old Kovacs moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but the words turned into: "I don't know."
"Ancient inheritance, master of weapon making, Church of Light, Huanglong wine," Emperor Rex didn't say a word, but his brows moved slightly, "These are enough, why even..."
Emperor Rex didn't say the words "Dragon Nest", but his heart was filled with ups and downs. "Really good show" - the magic game is what Arthur called "really good show"!
Compared with outsiders, Emperor Rex knows much more about the inside story of Dragon Nest. Whether it is Huanglong Wine or magic games, he has never heard anything about it before. He only heard about the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Clan about a year ago.
Storm Island has become an alliance partner, using some kind of "ancient fantasy" on Storm Island to conduct trials of dragons and dragon knights. What does this "ancient fantasy" have to do with magic games? What does it have to do with "ancient alchemy civilization"?
?!
In this way, even the Dragon Clan...
"I don't know." Old Kovacs replied, his head hanging lower. I don't know if this answer refers to the "why" of Emperor Rex, or to the unspoken name.
"You really don't know." Emperor Rex glanced at him with a half-smile, as if he could see through the old minister's mind: "Because you are just old Kovacs, and he is 'Arthur'."
"Arthur Roland." Old Kovacs added a little redundantly, but Emperor Rex fell into deep thought, and kept moving his right index finger on the armrest of the seat.
As a veteran who has served for many years, Old Kovacs felt a little chill in his heart. His Majesty would only have this habitual thing under two circumstances. The first is uneasiness; the second is... murderous intention.
No matter which one it was... Old Kovacs shuddered.
Emperor Rex waved his hand, and Old Kovacs bowed and retreated. Unconsciously, a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead.
The emperor of the Longhuang Empire stood up and paced back and forth in the study. Suddenly he turned his head and saw the dignified and beautiful woman in the portrait on the wall next to her, bathing in the moonlight shining on the window pane, looking at her with a smile.
he.
Under the same moonlight.
Ziyuan Palace.
Under the osmanthus tree in the garden.
"This is the last etiquette class." Veronica sat down with a smile, "Unfortunately, Yi Ni is not here today. I prepared her favorite rose cake."
Chen Rui glanced at the empty plate and smiled: "So, I will solve this regret on her behalf."
Veronica glanced at him angrily: "I don't know how to leave some to take back to Yi Ni. Men can't be so selfish."
"Haha," Chen Rui had two more delicate pastries in his palm, "The teacher was fooled, I secretly hid two pieces in the space ring."
"You..." Veronica smiled and shook her head, and a small cup was suddenly thrust into her hand.
"Teacher, this is the pudding I made by myself before I came here. It is a very novel snack. You can try it."
"Did you make it yourself?" Veronica looked at the strange snack with the fragrance of fruit in surprise. She picked up a spoon, scooped out a piece, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up slightly, "It's delicious."
"As long as the teacher likes it, I will often cook it for you in the future."
Veronica looked at the pudding in her hand, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head.
"teacher?"
"It's okay, I just feel warm." Veronica raised her head, the abnormality in her eyes had long since disappeared, and she was still smiling, "The teacher is very happy, because I haven't felt this way for a long time."
"Teacher...if you want, I can always stay with you."
"What if," Veronica's smile became even calmer, "I have fallen into an abyss without seeing the sun?"
Abyss...? Chen Rui looked directly into her eyes and slowly stretched out his hand: "Then I will use these hands to pull you out of the abyss."
Veronica's fingers trembled, and she slowly raised her hands, as if to reach out to him, but finally changed direction and touched his face.
The face gently caressed by that hand was just like the warmth in "Arthur's" memory.
However, in the induction of "Chen Rui", Veronica's mood at this time was filled with uneasiness and fear, and there was also a hint of an alternative aura that had been hidden for a long time.
This breath is very familiar to Chen Rui.
destroy.
This warm hand caressing his face was like a sharp knife cutting back and forth in his throat.
As long as the other party thinks about it, his head will be in a different place... If Chen Rui is still the original "Arthur".
Chen Rui did not avoid it, but just stared into her eyes. At this moment, he felt like he was in a trance, but his memory became clearer.
In the college, the boy met Veronica, who was like a sister. The boy who lost his mother since childhood was deeply attracted by this teacher.
There is no coercion of identity, no unnecessary evil thoughts, only the kind of heart that longs for care and closeness.
True love can always move people, and Veronica, who has always been a bit withdrawn, finally accepted her younger brother.
In the beginning, it was a very pure relationship between brother and sister, and those were Arthur's happiest two years.
As he grew older, the boy's mind quietly changed. In his life, except for his mother who died of illness, no woman could replace Veronica. He had already regarded this "sister" as the woman who would accompany him throughout his life.
Until the announcement of the marriage.
The warm hand moved away, and the boy's eyes blurred with tears.
Braving the rain, we rushed back to Longhuang Empire.
Then, he knelt and begged for three whole days outside Emperor Rex's palace, until he fell into a coma and became seriously ill.
Unfortunately, we still can't change the result.
Veronica seemed to see these past events in his eyes, and another emotion began to appear, entangled with destruction and fear.
The aura of destruction is getting stronger and stronger, as if it will burst out soon.
Chen Rui's star power was ready to go out, but unexpectedly, there was no killing or destruction, only two trembling lips gently pressed on his face.
Even though there is a veil, you can still feel the warmth, as if even your soul can melt in it.
The warmth gradually fades away.
"You are going to the Lanyao Empire tomorrow. This is the teacher's farewell to you. Once you get married, don't come here again. Treat Princess Lanbis, Yi Ni and Laura well."
"Teacher..." Chen Rui clearly felt that the power of the fierce struggle at this moment not only did not weaken, but became stronger.
The other hand hidden behind her back, the clenched fist was trembling, and the skin on the back of the hand had strange cracks. The fingers pinched into the palm penetrated deep into the flesh, and traces of blood seeped out and dripped on the ground.
.
Looking at that gentle smile, if he hadn't known what happened just now, he would have thought it was just an ordinary kiss.
Calm and warm.
Another familiar feeling.
In memory, the fragments that were originally broken are being condensed bit by bit.
"Go, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I need to rest." Veronica's voice seemed calm.
Chen Rui gently stroked the face that had been kissed just now, and looked at her deeply: "Veronica, wait for me."
At this moment, he did not use the title "teacher", but directly called her name and turned around.
After walking a few steps, a few petals beside Veronica suddenly turned into powder silently.
As if Chen Rui didn't notice it, he still didn't look back and walked forward out of Ziyuan Palace.
The moment Chen Rui disappeared, the space next to Veronica suddenly changed and turned into a blood-red world. A terrifying roar came from his throat, and ferocious power surged out, as if some kind of ferocious beast was raging.
Suddenly the sky collapsed and the whole space was trembling.
With the eyesight of the palace maids in the distance, they cannot see this at all. Even if they look carefully, they can only see that the shape of the shade under a certain tree is somewhat distorted, and the fallen petals have disappeared one after another. They have no idea of the real changes in the space.
After a long time, the terrifying turbulent power in the blood-red space finally stopped.
Only that vaguely graceful figure was left, holding his shoulders with hands that had turned into terrifying claws, and sat down tremblingly, curling up like a lone goose with broken wings.
Under the deep moonlight, a pair of star-like eyes in the distance are watching this scene silently. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
