Five years passed by in a flash. During this period, Rikka took a look at the two life-extending herbal pills more than once. And just one night two months ago, Christine visited the palace in person for the first time.<
/p>
"After eating all these herbal pills, your life will come to an end. It can be as slow as half a year or as fast as three months."
"It's just because your good son offended Huating. Otherwise, if Gloria could have taken action, you would probably have a few more years to live."
"Also, Boom and Rikka may not be interested in scheming with you, but that is my interest. Again, if you violate the bottom line next time, no matter what the reason, I will definitely
Subvert Flowing Light City with your own hands, so you can do it for yourself."
After saying this, Christine left without giving City Lord Martin a chance to explain. In other words, she was already tired of Flowing Light City.
Afterwards, as Christine said, City Lord Martin's condition worsened. It was not that he was bedridden, but on the contrary, he seemed particularly "energetic".
Many servants in the palace felt that this was the good news of the birth of the god. After all, the city lord Martin had a glowing face every day, and he was no worse than any young man in doing things.
However, City Lord Martin did not seem to be happy about this. After all, he was the only one who knew the real situation. Everything was just because of the two bottles of herbal pills, or in other words, because of the two bottles of herbal pills, City Lord Martin stimulated his final physical potential, but
It also speeds up the countdown to death.
As night fell, the city lord Martin was still sitting in his room reviewing official documents. After all, he didn't need to rest now, let alone sleep. As the candlelight flickered, a drop of ink fell on the animal skin roll, completely contaminating it.
"What's the matter if you don't go to bed so late?"
"Or maybe you're a little impatient for waiting. It seems like you don't understand what 'forbearance' means, and you're still too young."
"But now that you're here, can you tell me how you plan to govern Flowing Light City in the future? I must still have this power."
I saw City Lord Martin put down the quill first, and then raised his head and spoke. At some point, a figure appeared in the originally dark room, staring at City Lord Martin.
The figure was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, with Martin's strength as a high-level professional, it stands to reason that it would be impossible for him to sense him.
This is actually easy to understand. After taking the two bottles of herbal pills, the city lord Martin accelerated the consumption of the substitute's potential in exchange for a short period of health.
It is precisely because of this that although the city lord Martin is still a high-level professional, his perceptual ability has reached a level comparable to that of a peak powerhouse, which naturally makes the opponent unable to hide.
"Nothing, I just came to visit you, father. I heard from the servants that you have been working late into the night or even staying up all night for the past six months, so please take care of yourself."
The figure walked out of the shadow step by step, and turned out to be the son of the city lord Martin, Shake Wington. I saw that Shake Wington had changed his previous image, no longer wearing a brocade robe, but changed into a pair of steel armor. "I didn't expect that you had already figured out my intention, so why didn't you ask Huating for help? After all, in the eyes of the world, the other party is the true Lord of Shadows, not the Lord of Flowing Light City."
Shakewinton said this, but it was the first time in his life that he exuded the power of coercion. In fact, he had reached the peak two years ago, and the reason why he had endured until now was just to give his father a
A relatively decent way to die.
Originally, he thought that his father would eventually die due to a serious illness, but little did he know that the other party was inexplicably getting more and more energetic, as if he was truly a lucky man favored by the gods.
If this happened outside the Land of Shadows, many people would probably be willing to believe it. But in the Land of Shadows, no ethnic group has faith, at least not in any illusory gods.
"I feel that no matter how Flowing Light City develops in the future, we must first get rid of the moths. Outsiders are still outsiders. If they can help Flowing Light City today, they may go in the opposite direction one day in the future."
"Although my strength is far inferior to that of the opponent, and I can't even defeat the 'Flowing Eight Blades'. But I know what 'backbone' is, and the so-called 'backbone' can only rely on my own hands, not any external help.
”
"But even so, I still firmly believe in my ability, or that even without those outsiders, Flowing Light City will continue to grow and develop."
"Have you heard the chaotic sounds outside the window? That is a sign that I am announcing a complete change. And father, please rest in peace. Give me a chance and give Flowing Light City a chance."
After Shakewinton calmed down his aura, a sharp sword was placed on the neck of the city lord Martin. He had no feelings for his father. After all, in the eyes of the other party, he would always be a swordsman.
A reckless man.
But Shake Wington is far smarter than most people, so smart that he has chosen to endure it for more than forty years, no matter who he faces.
But the purpose of forbearance is to explode like this today. Shake Wington is a very well-planned person, so after reaching the peak, he will start the next stage of the plan. And in that plan, he must first completely control
In Flowing Light City, we must first kill the existing city lord, whether he is his biological father or not.
As for Shakwington's so-called "Voice of Chaos", it was his men who began to clear out the aristocratic area. The nobles who once dared to ridicule him, including the natives, will be killed tonight. p>
"As a father, I am very pleased with your growth. After all, to be fair, you are far more suitable for the position of city lord than me. But as the city lord of Liuguang City, I still want to advise you, it is best not to provoke those outsiders. You simply
You are not the other party’s opponent and you never will be.”
City Lord Martin smiled and nodded, without any fear at all. Instead, he was happy with the domineering appearance displayed by his son.
"Then rest in peace. After all, between mother and Flowing Light City, you chose the latter. And I am also doing it for the future of Flowing Light City, so I have nothing to feel guilty about."
Shakewinton's voice echoed in the room for a long time, and his father Martin's head had already fallen to the ground, with the corners of his mouth still slightly raised.
Later, Martin was declared dead due to a serious illness. As his successor, Shake Wington personally hosted a grand funeral, and all forces sent envoys to express their condolences.
However, Boom and his party did not attend Martin's funeral, and even the soup house did not close to pay tribute like other shops.
"Sir, the outside world calls the city lord Shacklewinton the 'Patricide'. I think this title is very appropriate. After all, a guy who can kill blood relatives is not a human being at all."
Steam was rising, and the fragrance of flowers was bursting. In the space on the third floor of the soup house, Perseus sprinkled flower petals into the water and said in a deep voice.
Although Perseus is an ancient ferocious beast, he knows human nature very well. Therefore, in his eyes, Shacklewinton's behavior is too despicable, so despicable that he scorns it and cannot bear it.
"What do other people's affairs have to do with us? Just remember, if the other party dares to provoke me next time, then you will directly kill them."
Rikka frowned upon hearing this, as if she was disgusted by the words "Shak Wington". However, due to Boom's advice, she finally chose to endure it.
The little girl felt that as long as the other party stopped provoking her, she would not take action. On the contrary, no matter how much Boom tried to dissuade her, she would personally destroy Flowing Light City and even the entire Land of Shadows.
