As soon as the king opened his mouth, the civil and military ministers also fired at the general, accusing him of reneging on his promise and demanding that the miracle stone be donated as soon as possible.
Westie's face looked ugly, but he lowered his head and said nothing.
Jia Zhengjin frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to stop the others, and then asked: "Wishidi, don't worry! I won't take the Miracle Stone for nothing. Just tell me! As long as I have it in Holy Dragon City, you can exchange it for whatever you need!"
Do you want the fountain of life? I can give you a bottle too!"
"The spring of life?!" There was a sound of air-conditioning sucking in the scene, and Old Nick kept trembling, "Promise! Promise! That is the spring of life! Why are you hesitating to exchange a broken stone for the spring of life? Take that broken stone
What is the use of stones?”
Westie lowered his head and was silent for a while before answering: "Lord Keen, I can agree to anything you want, but this miracle stone is really..."
"Oh? You don't want to give it?" Jia Zhengjin frowned.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't give it!" Westie lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Keen!"
"Are you crazy?" Old Nick was very anxious, "Isn't it just a piece of broken stone passed down from our ancestors? Since it has no effect, why can't we be satisfied if we can exchange it for a bottle of spring water of life? If it were me, I would donate it directly to the foundation.
It’s okay, Master En!”
"that is!"
"General Westie, isn't he just a piece of broken rock?"
"The spring of life! It is a treasure that is said to be able to prolong life and is only possessed by the elves!"
"This is a huge opportunity! A piece of useless stone can buy you an extra few decades, or even hundreds of years, so why are you hesitating?"
"If I had the Miracle Stone, I would have dedicated it to Lord Keen long ago!"
"It's just! Just a useless piece of broken stone..."
Including the king, the civil and military ministers tried to persuade Westie, who was even more anxious than himself.
Westie's expression changed several times, but finally he stubbornly shook his head: "Lord Keen, please forgive me for not agreeing to this!"
"Wishidi!!" Old Nick was anxious. You must know that Lord Keen's coming to Malos is a miracle in itself. Now the whole country should fully cooperate, but you just come to sing the opposite? Aren't you just a useless piece of stone?
Even though it was passed down from your ancestors, Lord Keen is willing to exchange it for the spring water of life. Are you still not satisfied?
Seeing that the old king and the civil and military ministers were all glaring at Westie, Jia Zhengjin looked at the tangled expression on the other person's face and felt that he had something to hide, so he stopped them and then looked at Westie: "It seems that you have something to hide.
Can you tell me more about it?"
Westie raised his head and looked at Jia Zhengjin gratefully, and then sighed softly: "Your Majesty, colleagues! I'm sorry, I deceived everyone before!"
"What do you mean?" Old Nick asked doubtfully.
The civil and military ministers also stared at Westie, unable to take their eyes away.
Westie lowered his head and said: "I really can't give up the Miracle Stone, because it is related to Negi's life!"
"Naiji? Who is Naiji?" Hearing the name, Jia Zhengjin turned to ask Old Nick.
"Report to Mr. Keen," Old Nick replied softly with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "Nagy is the son of Westie, and he is thirteen years old this year."
"Oh!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Wishidi, why is the Miracle Stone related to your son's life?"
"That's right! Isn't the Miracle Stone a useless stone?" Old Nick immediately asked.
"I'm sorry! Your Majesty, colleagues, I deceived everyone." Westie replied tremblingly, "I didn't want to say it originally, but Negi can't leave the Miracle Stone..."
"What's going on?" Jia Zhengjin saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he asked seriously.
"Lord Keen, in fact, Negi almost died when he was three years old!" Westie said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, colleagues, do you still remember when Negi was three years old?"
"Of course I remember!" Old Nick recalled, "At that time, thieves entered the city. You fought desperately at the city gate, but the thieves broke into your home. At that time, the house was slaughtered, and Naji, who was only three years old, was also stabbed with a knife.
Heart. Fortunately, he survived, it's like a miracle... Of course I know your contribution to Maros, otherwise I wouldn't have reused you and promoted you to the rank of general!"
"Your Majesty has been so kind to me," Westie said respectfully, "and all my colleagues have also been kind to me. So I have kept a secret in my heart for so many years, which makes me feel extremely guilty to this day! There is really no way to deal with this situation today!
Mr. Keen, it stands to reason that you are the hero who saved the world and our savior. I cannot refuse your request. But the Miracle Stone is now equivalent to Naji's life. I..."
"Tell me clearly what's going on!" Old Nick asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty!" Westie took a deep breath, as if he had made a lot of determination, "Actually... when Negi was three years old, he was bound to die! His heart was pierced by a thief, and he was already dead when I arrived.
…”
"Impossible! Isn't Naigi alive and well?" Old Nick and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs all stared with wide eyes.
"Yes!" Westie replied, "because the Miracle Stone has been integrated into his body and became Negi's heart. When I returned home, I saw that the whole family died tragically, and even Negi was dead. I was so sad.
Jue. Originally wanted to bury his family properly, but found that the miracle stone worn on Najib suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then the stone entered his body along the wound, and actually merged with the broken heart. The wound on Najib's body was miraculously
The earth recovered and slowly came back to life. I witnessed Naji's resurrection from the dead, and then I realized that the miracle stone passed down from my ancestors was not an ordinary stone! Because the miracle stone was fused with Naji's heart, the loss and recovery made me even more excited.
Afraid. If someone knows the power of the Miracle Stone, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect it with my strength. Once the Miracle Stone is taken away, it means that Negi will die again. I want to protect Negi and can't let the child die!
In desperation, I could only tell lies, making everyone mistakenly think that Naji was very lucky, and at the same time, the Miracle Stone was just a broken stone with no effect... Lord Keen, if you want to take away the Miracle Stone, I
I’m afraid that my child…please spare my life, Mr. Keen!!”
Westie fell to his knees, kowtowing desperately and begging for mercy. His forehead hit the hard floor with a "dong dong dong" sound, which made him feel very painful.
His words stunned Old Nick and all the civil and military ministers present, because no one could have imagined that it would be like this.
Even Jia Zhengjin fell into deep thought and was at a loss for a while.
He is bound to get the Miracle Stone, because collecting all the stones can give him the power of eternal life. This is an irresistible temptation, even for Jia Zhengjin.
But if Westie didn't lie, the Miracle Stone became Negi's heart. If the stone was taken out, wouldn't the child die?
Killing an innocent child for his own desires is too cruel for Jia Zhengjin and is simply unimaginable. (To be continued)
