Siren was washing and changing clothes under the service of the maid, while Gu Nansheng was eating dessert.
"Don't you want to eat some?" He put a frozen pastry into his mouth and asked Siren.
Siren took her hair out of the collar of her court dress, draped it over her shoulders, and said calmly: "It's already too late if you don't want to eat."
She put on the Xia crown and tied up the sash of her court uniform, and instantly became the queen who reigned over the world. Her whole body was filled with a solemn and sacred aura that no one dared to infringe upon.
Siren walked slowly to the door, turned around and said: "After I announce our affairs to the court today, my father may summon you. Well, show some respect to him. He is my father after all."
Hearing Siren mention Perseus, Gu Nansheng felt a little complicated. Thinking about the final test mission gave him a headache. He tentatively asked: "Siren, how do you feel about your father?"
Siren was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Gu Nansheng asked. "Father," she shook her head slightly and sighed: "Maybe it's not about hatred. When I released the case of Medusa, there were many doubts, but he didn't talk about it.
This is it.”
At first, Perseus was in a terrible mood because his body was devoured by a mysterious snake and he was in a terrible mood. Therefore, the sirens and their daughters became punching bags and were indiscriminately thrown into the cold palace.
Now that Perseus has experienced these seven years of suffering, his character is completely different.
In fact, no matter whether the Siren had deep feelings for Perseus or not, Gu Nansheng couldn't do anything. He didn't want to have such a thorn between himself and the Siren.
Is it possible to change the main quest?
The final test is set up to select the strong. The tasks it releases do not distinguish between good and evil, but are just to make the testers stronger.
Medusa was in a weak position at the beginning, and the system issued the mission to help Medusa take revenge in order to allow Gu Nansheng to fight.
Now that Gu Nansheng is in the palace, it is easy to kill Perseus, so this task has lost its meaning.
The system is not a program, it has a soul. Its standards for assessing rewards and punishments are not fixed, but based on the number of battles and the degree of danger experienced by the trialist.
If the trialist is passive and timid, and ultimately fails to complete the task, he will undoubtedly be wiped out by the system. But if the trialist moves forward bravely, actively looks for battles, challenges, and dangers, and gives up tasks that are already worthless, then
What will happen?
The system's mission is to help Medusa take revenge. What will happen if she kills Medusa?
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng made a crazy decision. He wanted to sneak attack Medusa the moment he handed the Lincoln Stone into Medusa's hands. With his current strength, he controlled the third evolution of Frostmourne. He wanted to
It is not impossible to kill Medusa.
The morning court lasted for two hours. The new emperor ascended the throne. Siren had a lot of things to deal with, so she was very busy today and it would be difficult for her to come back before evening.
Gu Nansheng was wandering around the palace boredly. At noon, a guard in golden armor came to inform Gu Nansheng that Perseus wanted to summon him.
Gu Nansheng didn't even have lunch and went directly to follow the guards.
The Seahorse carriage moved very fast, and after two minutes, they drove out of the palace. Gu Nansheng was a little strange, why did Perseus summon him outside the palace?
"Where are we going?" Gu Nansheng asked.
"Come back, sir, let's go to the palace of His Majesty the Old Poseidon."
Going to the palace? Gu Nansheng touched his chin and suddenly felt an unusual smell.
Perseus's palace was built on a mountain, on a high ground, less than a hundred meters from the sea level. Surrounding the palace was an undersea forest with coral reefs and various undersea shrubs.
Gu Nansheng was sitting in the carriage, with the forest under his feet. Suddenly, he felt a hidden murderous intention, and this murderous intention was directed at him. Gu Nansheng was shocked. The Eye of Sargeras opened, and his perceptions overflowed. He saw
He took a deep breath at the sight of the underwater forest...
Among the twists and turns of coral reefs and oyster reefs, there are densely packed Naga Royal Guards!
Perseus, this old guy wants to kill the donkey!
What a Perseus, I am willing to take the risk to kill Medusa for you, but you have such thoughts.
Gu Nansheng has always adhered to the principle of life that if someone hurts me, I will hurt others. At this time, he really had murderous intentions towards Perseus.
However, how will he face the Siren after killing Perseus? Thinking of what the Siren told him this morning, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. No wonder it is said that the IQ of a girl in love is close to zero. Even the ice-smart Siren is addicted to
It's easy to lose sight of the situation in the midst of happiness, and naively thought that Perseus would witness her marriage to him.
At this time, the formation to witness the marriage was actually a thousand fully armed Naga royal guards!
Gu Nansheng touched Frostmourne in his inventory. The black sword blade shone with the cold light of the Ice Messenger. Perseus, Perseus, you really think highly of me with so many troops ambushed.
The carriage swam through the forest, and the palace was within easy reach.
When Perseus built this palace, he dug out half of the mountain. Half of the palace was buried underground. There was an underwater forest above and below. A thousand Naga royal guards were hidden in the forest. They only needed to give an order.
The palace can be surrounded tightly, and it is impossible to escape from above.
Gu Nansheng couldn't help but wonder if Perseus had already considered using it as a place for siege when designing this place.
The carriage drove into the palace, and Gu Nansheng followed the golden-armored warrior on the palace floor covered with seafloor plankton. The heavy golden armor hit the stone slabs rhythmically, and chaotic sounds echoed in the empty hall.
Gu Nansheng kept the Eye of Sargeras open, and Perseus was behind a stone door in front of him.
With the rumbling sound of the machine, the stone door opened. Perseus sat upright on the throne in the middle of the hall, holding the Poseidon's scepter in one hand and supporting the dragon chair in the other. His old face was full of majesty.
Next to him is a green giant who is four meters tall. He is holding an iron anchor as thick as an adult's thigh. His body is bulging with muscles. There are chains tied to his chest and arms. His purple beard is thick and long.
Gu Nansheng recognized this giant at a glance - Tide Hunter Leviathan.
Although Leviathan will not participate in the battle for the throne, nor will he clearly express his support, but once there is a crisis in the Naga Kingdom, he will definitely stand up.
Gu Nansheng stared at Perseus intensely. After a long time, he sighed with a sarcastic look on his face: "As expected of the King of the Sea, he has extraordinary courage. Under such circumstances, he dared to open the stone door and sit in front of me in a majestic manner.
Calm and relaxed."
Perseus's face changed slightly, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: "You already know? Now that you know that I set an ambush, you still dare to come here with confidence. I admire you and admire you very much. You are better than my son."
It’s a pity if you are a citizen of Naga Kingdom”
"Don't say it's useless." Gu Nansheng interrupted Perseus coldly, "Since Marshal Leviathan is here, is General Slada also here?"
Gu Nansheng's calmness frightened Perseus. Why was he so confident?
He unconsciously grasped the scepter, and moved his left hand from the armrest of the chair, flat on his thigh. He was indeed nervous, because if today's affairs were not handled well, it would threaten the continuation of the royal power, "Slada, he stayed here
The palace protects the sirens. After all, the threat of Medusa is still there."
Gu Nansheng laughed darkly, "Since there is no Slada, how dare you show up today? Now the distance between us is less than twenty meters, are you not afraid that I will pull you on your back?"
When Gu Nansheng said this, Leviathan's ferocious face twitched, and he suddenly pulled the chain in his hand. The sound of the heavy iron ring hitting the hall echoed in the hall. He said angrily: "Young man, don't be too arrogant! Yes!
I, Leviathan, am here, and you can’t even think of trampling on the Naga clan’s imperial power!”….
"Arrogant? Am I arrogant? Hehe! People respect me as much as I respect others. If anyone punches me, I will stab him! Not to mention imperial power, even divine power, as long as it makes me angry, I will do it.
Crush him to pieces!" As Gu Nansheng said this, his breath came out, and the thick murderous intent filled the entire hall. Leviathan hurriedly used energy to protect the weak Perseus, but even so, Perseus still
I feel difficulty breathing and my face is as pale as paper.
Gu Nansheng pointed at Perseus and said loudly: "Perseus, if it hadn't been for me two days ago, you would have been put under house arrest by your precious son. I went through life and death only for you to set up an ambush to kill me! Do you believe it?
If you don’t believe it, I can take your head off in an instant!”
Gu Nansheng took a step forward, his aura getting stronger and stronger. The murderous aura he had accumulated for many years in the Bloody City combined with the resentment in the Eye of Sargeras, the majestic pressure made Leviathan unable to bear it, although he was now using his aura to protect the two people.
, but that’s not the case.
gap
The Gu Nansheng in front of him was at least equivalent to a fifth-level powerhouse.
Leviathan somewhat believed Gu Nansheng's words. He could indeed take Perseus' life under his nose, even if he had the forbidden spell of mass stun - destruction.
Perseus gently pulled Leviathan's hand, and he took advantage of the situation to stand up. He coughed a few times, "I can't hold on for a few more days with this old bone, so what if I die with you? What if I can?"
Wouldn’t it be great to trade my life for yours? The young soldiers can still defend the Naga Kingdom. Do you want to know why I want to kill you?”
Gu Nansheng thought for a moment and sneered: "Because I am a foreigner, are you doing this to keep the royal bloodline pure? Quite a few words."
Perseus shook his head, "I'm not that conservative. I wish my Naga royal bloodline could join the bloodline of a strong person."
"I just don't understand why, as a fourth- or fifth-level strongman, you are willing to help Siren, a princess who is in jail, to regain the throne? Don't tell me that you are doing this because of ridiculous love."
When Gu Nansheng heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, and his murderous aura was much restrained. Everything he did seemed to Perseus to be unexplainable.
If it weren't for the final test, if it weren't for Eisenfrog's prophecy, Gu Nansheng would never have helped Siren regain the throne.
It was just a chance encounter, and rescuing her was already an act of benevolence and justice.
The Siren said she was a princess, so that was it? The Siren said she wanted to take back her own throne at the cost of punishment, would anyone in their right mind help her?
With Perseus's imagination, how could he possibly know the mystery behind this, so he naturally believed that Gu Nansheng had another agenda.
Seeing that Gu Nansheng was silent, Perseus continued: "You once killed hundreds of our Naga warriors with Medusa. How do you explain this? Your origin is unknown, your purpose is unknown, and you have special skills, and you have been defeated by the Siren.
She has no reservations about your favor and no guard against you. How can I let you stay in the Naga Kingdom?"
Gu Nansheng knew that no matter how he explained it to Perseus, he would never believe that he had feelings for the Siren. In Perseus's opinion, a fifth-level strong man might have lived for tens of thousands of years. How could such a person who has experienced so many vicissitudes of life treat a small child?
Is the girl sincere?
Although what Perseus did today was despised, he had no choice but to do so because of his position.
Gu Nansheng took a deep breath and said, "You don't trust your daughter's judgment?"
Perseus shook his head and said: "Although Siren is smart and decisive, girls who are still young and in love are easily confused by emotions and can't extricate themselves."
"Young man, tell me your purpose. If possible, I will try my best to satisfy you, but I hope you can leave the Naga tribe and never step into the eternal vortex."…
Since ancient times, kings have always been suspicious of people in positions of power and ministers, especially when a new emperor ascends the throne. At least in Chinese history, few powerful ministers have died well.
After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he drank wine and released his military power - this was the most benevolent thing. Dorgon was stripped of his title after his death. Fortunately, his life was short and he died before he was forty years old. After Kangxi came to the throne, he will be worshiped by Ao for life.
Imprisoning him until he died in prison was considered a great favor from the emperor. In Yongzheng, in the third year after he came to the throne, he directly gave Nian Gengyao to commit suicide in prison. Suicide is considered a decent way to die. There are even worse things like Han Xin.
, was put under house arrest by Liu Bang, executed by Empress Lu, and had three clans wiped out. Zhu Yuanzhang went to the extreme. Hu, Lan, Xu Da and other founding heroes were killed one after another, and were implicated in killing.
Tens of thousands of people died, and the various "Zhu style torture" were even more astonishing.
Gu Nansheng knew that it was impossible for Perseus to believe in him. In Chinese history, none of the ministers who were killed because of their great achievements had won the trust of the emperor. Even so, they were still killed.
On the other hand, Perseus had never trusted Gu Nansheng.
His origins are unknown, his purpose is unknown, his behavior is suspicious, and he even got together with Medusa for a time. If Perseus can trust such a person, he must be crazy.
But because of love, Siren completely trusted Gu Nansheng and even pledged her body to him. If Gu Nansheng really had any evil thoughts or wanted to carry out any conspiracy, he would definitely be able to catch her.
How could Perseus let Gu Nansheng go under such circumstances? The so-called hope that Gu Nansheng would leave the Naga clan and not step into it was just to deceive him.
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. His butt determines his head. He had never been an emperor, so he had not guessed what Perseus was thinking in advance.
"It seems that today will not end well. You want to know my purpose? I can tell you, but will you believe it?"
"Everything I did was really just to help the Siren regain the throne. I don't want to say the motivation for doing this, but it is definitely not harmful to the Naga clan."
"I do sincerely care about Siren now, whether you believe it or not."
"As for why I appeared with Medusa, I actually came to the Naga Kingdom to kill you. For some reason, I had to help Medusa get revenge. However, I changed my mind this morning."
Even he himself didn't believe what Gu Nansheng said. It was ridiculous and illogical, but it happened to be the truth.
Perseus smiled, "Your explanation sounds too pale and ridiculous, but the more it sounds like this, the more believable it becomes to me. You won't make up such a confusing story. If you can keep the Naga Kingdom stable for thousands of years, I will give you my old life."
What's the problem with you? Do you have a relationship with Medusa? It's natural to think about it that a strong man of your level probably lived in the same era as Medusa."
Gu Nansheng also did not explain his age. He knew that it would be useless to explain. "No matter what the outcome of today's duel is, I hope Siren will not be involved. I don't want to hurt her."
Speaking of Siren, Perseus sighed heavily, "Siren, I owe her so much. Today she is going to hate me again. I have made this decision and I no longer expect her forgiveness. Ahem, she is so smart that she may have noticed it now."
.”
Gu Nansheng slowly drew out Frostmourne. The cold light of the Ice Messenger flickered in the dark hall, like an elf in the night. In the field of vision of the Eye of Sargeras, thousands of Naga guards had left the forest and quietly touched it.
In the palace.
Gu Nansheng sighed softly. This originally meaningless battle was inevitable. If he really killed Perseus, there would definitely be a gap between himself and the Siren in the future. Although the Siren was not interested in Perseus,
Si doesn't have much affection, but he is her father after all.
He said in a deep voice: "I walked here with confidence today, and I am confident that I will kill a thousand guards in this palace and then escape unscathed. Perseus, don't force me."
Hearing Gu Nansheng clearly state the number of guards, Perseus's face twitched. Under such circumstances, why does this human being still have confidence?
