"Who is this?" Xue Hua looked at the man in the painting wearing a navy blue robe and a blue scarf on his head and couldn't help but asked with some confusion.
This man looks so much like Jehein, and the fact that the portrait is still hanging here shows that there must be a close relationship between the two.
"This is the eldest prince of Lu Gaoyin, the former heir of the Desert Kingdom - Lei Hein. He is the brother of the current king Jie Hein, and he is also the wisest heir to the throne in the Hein royal family in recent generations.
We all thought that Lu Gaoyin would gradually become the center of human civilization in the entire first world under his leadership, until that so-called 'shipwreck'..."
"Grace! Be careful what you say!"
Kane suddenly coughed violently, interrupting Drognan's words.
"...Hey!" Zhuo Genan's lips wriggled twice, but in the end he only let out a disdainful hey.
The guardians do not interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, and what he just said clearly went beyond that.
But even if he didn't continue, Xue Hua knew what he wanted to express.
It is almost a semi-open secret among Lu Gaoyin that Jie Hain was not in the right position.
But there was no way. Among the three ancient aristocratic families in the country, the Ezekiel family, which had controlled the kingdom's financial lifeline for generations, clearly expressed its support for Jehein's accession to the throne, while the other two professional families remained silent from beginning to end.
In addition, the old king has no other heirs except him, so he can only be the king.
It is precisely because of the unfair position that this king attaches great importance to power. In this world, if you want to quickly expand your influence and demand greater rights, there is a very convenient way - to make a right.
A great contribution to mankind as a whole.
Jehein's plan is just like this. He wants to find the secrets of the Horadrim Mages with his own hands, so as to prove that he has made a large enough contribution to mankind, and thus gain strong support from the Demon Fortress Council.
Although the parliament cannot directly help him consolidate his power, as long as they have their influence, Jehain can get rid of many shackles.
For example, the Ezekiel family single-handedly pushed him to the throne.
For this purpose, Jehain will do whatever it takes, including the lives of millions of people in Lugaoin.
"Alas..." Xue Hua sighed, looked at Rehain's portrait carefully again, then flopped down on the sofa next to Kane, and began to close his eyes and rest.
Power is a poisonous drink that makes people addicted and can even kill people.
Jehein has obviously been deeply poisoned, and his desire for power has blinded his eyes, making it difficult for him to see where the support he really wants to win should come from.
He has been completely obsessed with the "beautiful" blueprint he planned, but he has never thought about what he will get even if his plan succeeds in the end.
Once countless monster projections emerge from the sewers and palace prisons, this beautiful desert pearl will turn into a wasteland under the terrifying power.
So what if he really has the power?
Who to rule?
Dirt in ruins?
Or is it the knife that hell has placed on his neck?
This is seeking death!
The corner of Xue Hua's mouth curled up, and a dynamic picture he had seen online in his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.
A mouse is locked in a cage made of cheese, and there is a cat outside the cage.
If the mouse doesn't eat the cage, the cat won't be able to find it because of the smell of cheese.
But in the end, the mouse couldn't resist the temptation and chewed the cage clean, and then the cat stuffed it into its mouth...
Although that scene was not exactly the same as Jie Hain's current situation, Xue Hua inexplicably felt that the two were very similar...
They all feel ridiculous and sad in the same way.
It's just that the rats are motivated by appetite, while Jehein... is motivated by the desire for power.
Xue Hua closed his eyes to rest, Kane and Zhuo Genan also fell silent, and the entire lounge suddenly fell into silence.
It wasn't until an hour later that the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open and Farah walked in from the outside.
"How's it going? Have you talked to Jie Hain? What was his reaction?" Zhuo Genan stood up suddenly and asked eagerly.
"I talked to him and told him about the Horadric Cube..."
Farah pursed her lips and frowned.
"Then what was his reaction? Did he promise not to break the seal?"
Kane also asked.
"Well... He looks just like usual. Anyway, I can't see anything unusual in the expression on his face... He doesn't have any reaction to the Horadric Cube... It's just..."
Farah's face became a little weird.
"It's just what? You should tell me quickly! Why am I anxious to death?" Zhuo Genan is an impatient person. When he saw Farah keep showing off, he soon became impatient.
"He...he asked to meet with Xue...uh...to meet alone."
Farah looked at Xue Hua with strange eyes.
"See me? No! Why should I see him? I'm not his son!" Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, then flatly refused.
He didn't want to see this death-seeking mouse... He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help laughing...
"Uh..." Xue Hua's answer made the other three people stunned.
I have never seen such a straightforward and decisive guy refuse the king's summons.
You know, that's the king!
The leader of a kingdom!
Something that many people would never see...
However, what they didn't know was that for Xue Hua, a guy who had long been accustomed to seeing kings and princesses on the Internet in his previous life, the term "king" no longer had any deterrent effect on him.
What's more, this guy is a king from another world.
Hmm...the king of another world seeking death.
In Xue Hua's mind, Jie Hain's image has just been equated with the death-seeking mouse in the animation. He is really afraid that if he goes to see him, he can't help but laugh out loud, and he can't stop it.
Lived in...
Moreover, the king is considered a P, and labor and capital are still dominated by the Zerg!
I didn't even say that whoever I want to come to see me must come to see me. Where did he get the courage?!
Not seen! Definitely not seen!
Xue Hua raised his head and raised his legs to walk out. Kane hurriedly grabbed this tough-headed guy and pushed him back to the soft chair.
"Don't be impatient, Xue, don't be impatient, don't be impatient... I'll ask you questions first before I talk... Farah, will you tell His Majesty the King that the Horadric Cube was discovered by Xue Hua?"
"No? I just said that we found the real Horadric Cube... Then he said that he wanted to meet with Xue, and he also said that about the seal, he would not come with us until he met with Xue.
talk......"
Farah also blinked strangely, somewhat confused as to why Jie Hai insisted on seeing Xue Hua.
"Then he must have guessed it... That's right. Xue's move was so ostentatious that it was hard for the king not to notice..."
Kane nodded and said.
"So what if I guessed it? Does he still want to instigate me? Please! I just pressed one of his dogs on the ground in front of him and beat him up not long ago. Now he comes to instigate me. He doesn't think so.
Is it awkward?”
Xue Hua rolled his eyes, looking like a non-violent and non-cooperative man, which made Kane and others look very helpless.
"Xue, you have to know that Jie Hain is a politician, and he is the biggest politician in the Lu Gaoyin Kingdom. For politicians, everything except interests can be given up, so you and his captain of the imperial guard squadron are in the king's palace.
The fight outside the court is actually nothing to him, and he will definitely not give up fighting for you just because of this reason..."
Kane sat next to him and patiently explained to him.
"I know... dirty politics... but just because he's not awkward doesn't mean I'm not awkward! I just want to laugh when I see his face now. How do you want me to see him?"
"But the problem now is that if you don't go see him, he may insist on opening the prison seal. Even if we are sure that he will not be able to open the portal even if he finds it, we still have to clean up the final mess...
.You don’t want this matter to develop like this, right?”
Kane continued to offer good words.
Xue Hua leaned his head on the back of the soft chair and stared at the ceiling for a while, then sighed helplessly.
"Are there any legendary professionals in the palace?"
he asked.
"Um...what are you going to do?" Farah suddenly had a bad feeling as he suddenly became alert.
"It's nothing... I'm just thinking about how I can beat him to death when I see him later without being caught by the legendary powerhouse..."
Xue Hua said something expressionless that made the three old guys' scalps explode...
