"Since Hong Xiang is so sad, should we comfort him? Then, Your Majesty, what do you think...as the heir, what about little Lucien? Can he inherit the throne?"
The Fool Lalo asked with a smile: "That boy... Oh, I'm talking about the noble Highness. He does have some alchemical talents - he can at least refine gold coins into copper coins. With a little effort, he can turn gold coins into copper coins."
If his talent is reversed, we, Xing Antimony, will be rich."
The implication was to ridicule Lucien's extravagant and wasteful habits, and to remind the king that Lucien, the only heir he did not deny, was closely related to the hated red face of Valentine VII.
But the king didn't bother to pay attention to Lalo's venomous tongue.
He shook his head seriously and replied: "I have never thought about Lucien. You also know the reason."
After hearing his words, Rigoletto Lalo's expression turned serious for a moment.
But soon, the jester turned into a playful expression like a clown: "My respected majesty, you are really rare and firm and bold this time... With all due respect, during the fifty years that Lalo has followed you,
Here, this is the thing that you have insisted on the longest. When you pass away, I will drink a bottle of good wine to celebrate you."
"I have been preparing for this for so long, but now I have to do it."
Valentine VII simply said: "Although this may anger Pomponazzi... but the 'Rector' will be on our side.
"It just so happens that what happened in Leipzig in the past two days will also distract their attention. Let the Society start a fight with the Red Fort... Then find a way to stir up the fire, Lalo, and let the people from the Association intervene.
Come in."
"Of course, of course. You can rest assured, Lalo Lalo."
The Fool said with a smile: "If you want them to fight, then they will definitely fight. Old Lalo can't persuade you to make peace, but you can only make peace - but are you really sure? This is your country.
"
"Star Antimony needs a disaster."
The old king shook his head calmly: "Red phase, black phase, association, society... they don't take 'Valentine' seriously at all. You know when His Majesty the Pope killed the succubus, I was
What do you think?"
"What you must be thinking is - good kill, good kill!" the clown shouted loudly.
"Well, I almost clapped my hands. He's such a good boy, he kills when he says he wants."
The old king smiled, and there were more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "Those people never imagined that their great plan would fail like this."
"I think... Your Majesty, it would be better for you to tell them the secret of the destruction of the Herasl Empire directly."
"It's useless, they won't believe it. If I stop them from holding the Ring of Ending Ceremony, I'm afraid I will be killed - that's what the transcendent is like. Twilight, transcendence, love...many disasters left over from the past life
, now it will be fulfilled one by one..."
The old king whispered, and he shrank back into the chair. He looked much smaller, but his old and majestic voice was still calm and rational: "That little queen of Avalon did a very good job.
.If the power is not controlled, it is better to smash it to pieces.
"Let them fight. Star Antimony needs a just-right disaster - I originally planned to attack the goblin, but I didn't expect this foreshadowing to be useless...
"Then we have to find a way to get rid of them before everything is over, so that the money owed does not have to be repaid. However, when the debt problem is resolved, the counterfeit coins produced by Heinrich will be a bit troublesome to deal with."
"Isn't that what you acquiesced to? You also said you wouldn't let me control..."
"Well, I plan to use it at this time. If the hole cannot be filled in the end, I will collect his Leipzig to pay off the debt. Or kill him, and the rest will be his... If the economy stabilizes, then
Issue credit currency, just like the Avalonians.
"——Don't talk about that. In short, when I kill that 'Louise' in a few days, our plan will officially begin. Then you will have to work hard."
"Oh, oh, Lalo is going to cry and cry."
The jester pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears, and his words were still vicious: "Your current queen is Hong Xiang's 'daughter' and his lover. What father can bear if something happens to his daughter?"
What next? What man is willing to endure his lover being framed? Oh, maybe your father can endure it. Maybe you can endure it too."
"That's what a monarch is, Lalo. Just let me give it a try..."
The old man sighed, his eyes so calm that they were almost frozen: "Perhaps I shouldn't have regretted it in the first place. After Louise was transformed into the Moon Child, the incurable disease was cured... If I had continued to restore the principal's preserved soul at that time.
Pass it into her body, and maybe you can spend the rest of your life with her... What do you think, Lalo?"
"Yes, yes. It is also possible that her soul will be completely polluted and imprisoned in that body, never able to return to the dream world. Of course, there is also a possibility that your beloved queen will live forever here.
You cried bitterly after your death, and decades later you found a new young prince, and then screamed every night."
The clown-like jester used an exaggerated tone and said extremely bold words: "Of course, it may not take a few decades. Human beings are always very forgetful, and the children of the moon are even more dissolute."
If this were said to other monarchs, it would be an outrageous statement worthy of death.
However, the old man ignored him completely——
His mind seemed to be frozen. No matter how much the other party stimulated him, he could only make a few waves: "So I have to let her die no matter what. As for my soul, I will stay with Louise's soul forever.
.”
"His Majesty."
The jester's expression became more serious, and his tone suddenly returned to normal: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I really don't want to go to the dream world anymore. Louise has been waiting for me for so long. If we were just broken into the dream world together, I would be somewhat sorry for her waiting."
Valentine VII spoke calmly, the bright yellow light and dim yellow in his pupils mixed together: "It just so happens that my children don't have suitable successors either...
"If we can wake up again, the Eternal King will once again rule the planet Antimony. I will be born in a new body with Louise, open the tomb and rise up, and lead my people to overthrow what is now irredeemable
The star antimony will resume the great deeds of the ancestors and rebuild the country on the rotten earth.
"The people of Avalon have been authoritarian for so long, but the regime is stable enough. It can be said that the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The Minister of Trade who we tried so hard to bribe was found and executed after he could not do anything. The military's retaliatory attack was orderly and predictable.
Control and authoritarian power allowed them to truly become a powerful country.
"On the contrary, the Herasl Empire was so powerful, but due to the fierce conflict between the nine roads, it continued to fight and internally fight, and finally fell apart...
"Look at Parthia and Horus again. They are similar to us, and they also faced chaos and the loss of royal power caused by internal factions... This is enough to prove that from a national level, the road is very precise.
.
"Refer to Avalon's idea - they choose to focus on authority and sacrifice, but we can focus on balance and twilight.
"The promotion of Yan Tiansi last night will only be the beginning. The era of chaos has arrived, and there will be a steady stream of apostles becoming Tiansi... The principal promised me that the Winter Maiden is about to complete her promotion, and there is only one final step left.
Ritual - Transforms a mortal monarch into the Wraith of Winter.
"At that time, although we do not have the protection of the Pillar God, we will also have the protection of the Star Antimony people themselves. And all we have to do is to cleanse all the factions of Transcendence and Love... Anyway, there is a bunch of rebellious ministers, a bunch of
There are no monsters that cannot be killed."
Without the jester's verbal stimulation, the old king's words and mood became more and more peaceful.
His voice gradually lost its ups and downs, and was full of lifelessness like an old man telling his grandson a bedtime story. His skin gradually turned frosty and melted, and the whites of his eyes were obviously yellow, like a dying tree.
: "If they must hold that damn ceremony... then let them die."
"But what if you don't wake up in the end, Your Majesty?"
Lalo finally asked: "Two souls resurrected in one body - this is too far beyond common sense. Maybe you want Albert to give you a corpse with two heads?"
"——What should I do if you can't wake up?"
This jester, who has funny hair like cauliflower and is always talking nonsense, has a straight back at this moment.
His pupils are clearer and more upright than most people in Xingzhi.
"Then you will host the king selection ceremony for me."
Valentine VII replied without hesitation: "I have only one request for you - Valentine VIII must be a good enough balancer. Although we plan to take refuge in the Winter Maiden, there is no need to directly transfer him to the Winter Maiden."
The whole star is pressed up. Then we will look too cheap and will be looked down upon by others."
"Yes, my respected Majesty..."
Lalo bowed deeply, as if mourning the body.
But as soon as he bowed, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he tilted his head upward and looked at the old king and asked: "What do you mean...Ms. Freya? There is no more outstanding alchemist than her.
Well...and she's quite free."
"Only Ms. Freya can't...her mother is Ms. Sprengel."
Valentine VII said seriously: "That lady is the queen of Valentine I - so isn't this all a mess?"
"Her mother is Lady Kingsford."
Lalo reminded.
"it's the same."
The old king shook his head: "Don't say that, I may not die yet. Seven is the number of authority, and it was also the number of "strength", while eight is the number of transcendence, which may mean the eighth Valentine
It should be a transcendent. If you think about it carefully, this is actually very auspicious - I am both a monarch and a 'Valentine', and I will overthrow and rebuild Star Antimony... This can also be regarded as an act of transcendence.
"My actions are in line with the Holy Numbers, and perhaps the Pillar God is also willing to see such a future.
"——Let the future Valentine VIII lead Star Antimony to greatness again."
