The king of Ztic looked at the man who claimed to be Helfas, and his mind went blank. He looked blankly at his ancestor Fecomodo, and then confirmed that what the other person said was true.
When he turned his eyes back to that person again, the other person was already standing in front of him.
She looked at him and asked.
"is that true?"
He quickly turned away, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the other person, but he staggered and almost fell.
The other person is asking him if he wants to be them.
He opened his mouth to say something loudly, but when faced with those eyes, he felt it was irrefutable. That was why the other party did not exude dragon power, but gave him a huge pressure that surpassed dragon power.
Maybe it's because there's nothing hidden about him under those black eyes.
Every thought in his heart, any dark thoughts hidden in the nooks and crannies, can be seen clearly under the eyes of the other party.
The other person just looked at him like this, but it made him feel like a fish that had been placed on the beach under the sun, making him tingle all over and make it difficult to breathe.
Finally, he squeezed out a sentence.
"That's right!"
"I want to do the same great feats as you."
He looked directly at Helfas, as if he wanted to look firmer, but at the end of the sentence, his eyes involuntarily turned slightly to one side.
But Helfas had already seen his thoughts from his eyes and shook his head.
"It seems that you don't want to be us, you just want to be the Dragon King. You want to be a supreme king who is not subject to any restrictions in your eyes and can do whatever you want."
"But unfortunately, the kind of king you expected does not exist."
Helfas passed by King Ztic and looked at the buildings in the city.
"In our time, there were not as many people as you, nor were there so many cities."
"There's not that much food, and there's not that many bright clothes."
"There are just endless primitive jungles and overwhelming weird and dragon beasts."
"The so-called king is someone who can lead everyone to survive in this world."
"And our original intention is just to make everyone live a better life."
He turned back to look at King Ztic and said.
"We had nothing in that era, so we longed for a city to protect us."
"And you live in the city, but you feel like it has become a constraint on you."
King Ztic looked at each other, and finally lowered his head.
"People like you can't understand how I feel."
Helfas did not continue this topic, he asked another question.
"Do you know what it will bring to this country if you expose the information about the Sealed Book?"
"A large number of power-hungry people will gather because of this, and other countries will also snoop and covet the power of that book. You are powerless to stop the arrival of those ambitious people, let alone the demands of those countries."
"In an instant."
"This country will never have peace, and the flames of war and disaster will completely devour the dragon people on this land."
"As the king of this land, you should be able to think of such an ending, right?"
Of course the young king knew, but he still did it.
He feels that if he wants to gain power, he must launch changes. Only in this way can everything be changed.
He firmly believed that he could turn the tide.
As long as he can obtain the sealed book, he can ignore all enemies.
He wanted to deny it, but the man standing on the edge of the Acropolis spoke.
"You know, you just think becoming the Dragon King is more important than these."
"Even if you don't really become the Dragon King, it's just an opportunity."
After Fecomodo heard all this, he was furious.
"You put your kingdom and everyone's safety at risk for your own selfish desires."
"You are full of lies and selfish desires. How can you be worthy of sitting on the throne?"
When facing Helfas, King Ztik could still remain calm.
But when facing his ancestor, especially the other party's accusation, he became extremely excited in an instant.
"Isn't that what a king is supposed to be like?"
"All my will is above all others."
He seemed to know his ending, so he simply broke the jar and shouted out his deepest thoughts.
"I will listen to you in everything and consider the interests of everyone and all forces. No one cares what I think."
"Then I am the king after all."
"Still everyone's slave!"
Ficomodo was so furious that he wanted to kill his descendant directly, but Helfas stopped him.
"Let him go!"
Fecomodo turned his head and looked at Helfas in disbelief.
"Lord Helfas!"
Helfas still insisted and asked Fei Kemo to let the other party leave.
King Ztic walked down the Acropolis in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that he could leave here alive.
Then, he ran quickly towards the outside of the city.
He is no longer the king.
He just wants to live now, and as long as he lives, there is any possibility that he can make a comeback.
At this time, Feikomodo finally couldn't help but said.
"Lord Helfas, he knows your existence and the secret of the Sealed Book."
"If you don't kill him, you will be in huge trouble."
"At least, he should be imprisoned."
He said hurriedly, even reaching the edge of the stairs.
"It's still too late now, I'll have someone bring him back immediately."
Helfas looked at Fekomodo and said.
"The news about the Sealed Book has been leaked, and the secret of my rebirth was no longer a secret the moment I took action; from the moment I knew about the Sealed Book, I knew that there would be a disaster and war next
It will inevitably come here."
"It will not help to imprison him or even kill him. Instead, it will only introduce disaster into this country and destroy everything here."
"Let him go!"
"He will tell others the news of my return to the world, as well as the secrets of me and the Sealed Book."
"You are about to enter reincarnation, and all secrets will end here with your rebirth and his departure."
"so."
"The next eyes will be on me."
"They want the book, let them find it."
"If they want to come to me, then come to me!"
Helfas still had the same expression.
He looked at the city built by Fecomodo from the pavilion pillars on the third floor of the Acropolis, with joy in his eyes.
He likes bustling cities and the constant flow of people.
He turned his back to Feikomodo and continued talking.
"Look at this city and the country you established. They are so magnificent and great. All of this is really beyond my imagination and expectation."
"You have built this country, so you should have deep feelings for it."
"The merchant asked you to tell me the existence of the Sealed Book, and you have been waiting for a long time for it."
"That's enough. There's no need to make people here pay the price."
"They have nothing to do with this."
Fei Komodo: "However, the danger will gather on you. Those people are very powerful, Lord Helfas."
"You may not know how many existences covet the sealed book."
Helfas: "They are powerful and dangerous."
"Well, that's right."
"But some things were done by us, and some responsibilities originally belonged to us. Naturally, we should shoulder what we should shoulder."
"It has nothing to do with whether our enemy is strong or not, and it has nothing to do with the ordinary people who thrive on this land."
He still has the same thinking as before, if there is a problem, just solve it and face it.
It's like he jumped into the pit of the temple, like he raised his sword to the evil dragon without hesitation.
To escape, to allow danger to spread or be imposed on others.
It's not his character.
Feikomodo looked at Helfas's back quietly, and finally said: "It's been so long, but you still haven't changed at all."
Helfas smiled: "Because to me, everything is just like yesterday."
Helfas looked back at Feikomodo and asked him.
"What does it feel like to have lived for more than eight hundred years?"
"Do you feel happy or scared when you think that you have to live forever?"
Fei Kemo thought for a while and then told Helfas.
"I feel very tired, but I still want to live."
"Until the last moment of my life."
"I don't know if this sounds funny to you, but I am constantly feeling sleepy about living, and at the same time I am afraid of the nothingness after death."
Helfas opened his mouth wide, and finally burst into laughter.
Leave a sentence.
"So that's the case, it's really a dilemma!"
After saying that, Helfas left.
He originally wanted to walk slowly through here, quietly appreciate the country and civilization, and take a good tour of the Blacksmith's Palace.
But after settling the matter here, he had to leave the blacksmith's official city as soon as possible, and even leave the Ztic Kingdom as soon as possible.
He originally wanted to walk across this land as a traveler without being noticed, and even dyed his hair the color of the Golden Tribe people, to re-see what the places in his mind had become now.
But the sealed book left by the businessman seemed to push him to a new frontier, forcing him to reappear in front of people.
He flew in the sky, controlling the airflow to turn into a round shield.
Passing between the sea of clouds.
He thought of Fecomodo's words again, and also thought of what he had done.
"On the one hand, I constantly feel sleepy about living, and on the other hand, I am afraid of the nothingness after death."
He laughed to himself.
He seems to be too.
On the one hand, I want to say goodbye to my past identity, and cut myself off from the past to start over.
But he always does something passively, bound by the past.
——
Inside the Blacksmith's Palace.
Fecomodo was the last one to step down from the acropolis of the city wall. While he was satisfied that his last wish had been fulfilled, he was also irritated and worried about what his predecessor, King Ztic, had done.
He finally completed the instructions given by Bronze Dragon King Saren, but he was not able to complete it very well, leaving various problems.
His mood at the moment was extremely complicated, ranging from happiness and relief to sadness and confusion.
"Can Lord Helfas successfully obtain the Sealed Book?"
"Can Ztic really get through this?"
"I have to enter reincarnation, but there is no king. I need to quickly choose a suitable king."
As he walked through the streets of Blacksmith Guancheng, the surroundings became noisy and noisy.
He suddenly stopped and stood there.
Because of what Lord Helfas said just now, he began to take a serious look at this city and this country for the first time in many years.
"Magnificent and great?"
It seemed hard for him to feel this way, because he had seen this city too many times, even knew every corner of the city, and witnessed how it transformed from a barren mountain to what it is now.
He had seen larger and older cities in the Land of the Full Moon, especially the Golden City built by the last generation of Golden Dragon Kings, which was truly shocking.
Initially, he did not want to build such a country and city.
After the fall and collapse of the Golden Age, he moved here to avoid the war between dragons and the orders of the Bronze Dragon King, and established a community of dragons.
Unknowingly, it became such a prosperous coastal country.
But when these two words were spoken from the mouth of the Black King Helfas, their meanings and feelings were completely different.
Coupled with recalling every detail of the establishment of this country, he suddenly felt that this city and country had suddenly become a continuation of his life and another reincarnation.
If the dragon's body is reincarnated, only his body will come back to life.
So is this city and civilization the continuation of his spiritual will?
Even if it will die one day.
But another group of people will re-establish countries and cities here and inherit everything from the former. That is another kind of reincarnation.
Suddenly there was some reluctance and deep attachment in his eyes.
"The kingdom I build."
"Kingdom of Ztic."
But he knew that he must also enter reincarnation.
Not only because the time is coming, but also only when he enters reincarnation and leaves, the attention attracted by the Sealed Book will shift because of the departure of the previous king, Helfas and him.
Although a series of incidents and chaos will definitely break out later, at least the biggest danger has been eliminated.
Therefore, choosing a suitable successor has become extremely important.
After returning.
Fecomodo announced to the public that the previous king had died suddenly due to a serious illness, and that the heirs he left behind were too young to be able to control the country and the current situation.
He will select a new king from among his huge descendants.
When choosing the king, he was also reflecting.
Did I hold on too tightly and control too much in the past, thus making it difficult for my descendants and kings to adapt, and making it difficult for them to realize their ambitions?
He decided to leave a rule to limit some of the powers of the Dragon Palace.
In the palace that has stood for a hundred years, Fecomodo met one after another who was preparing to be the heir to the throne.
Whenever a person comes in, he will ask the other person the same question.
"Why do you want to be a king?"
Everyone's answer was different, but Fei Komodo was not satisfied.
These people have finally come here after passing the test, and they must have passed the test in terms of ability. At least they have the ability to govern or handle government affairs.
Each of them is very young, each has great ambitions, and comes to Feikomodo with a strong sense of enterprising spirit.
But he felt this was not enough.
He needs someone who can make choices and sacrifices, and who can stabilize the country in the next possible crisis.
At least at this time, he didn't need an enterprising and ambitious king.
Until a young man who was equally young and full of energy stood in front of Fei Komodo and answered his question.
"I like Blacksmith Guancheng and this country."
This seems to be the most common and meaningless answer.
It's not like a response to an assessment, but more like an ordinary conversation, at least it seems too informal in such an occasion of competing for the throne.
But Fei Komodo raised his eyelids and looked at the other party carefully.
"Tell me carefully!"
"What do you like about it?"
He asked a lot of questions in great detail, including governance and various responses to crises.
The other party's answers satisfied Feikomodo, and he finally made a decision.
After the new king ascended the throne, the Dragon Palace also entered a period of closure.
On the border of the Ztic Kingdom, in a hidden underground palace.
Feikomodo entered it with several dragon-server monks.
In this secret place that had been arranged long ago, Feikomodo entered reincarnation.
After the vitality was exhausted, the body shrank and condensed little by little, expelling various impurities, and turned into a dragon egg.
The dragon-server monk was waiting in the underground palace.
Waiting for the other person's resurrection, waiting to tell the other person's name, his story and legend again.
——
The former king of Ztic was tremblingly being held in the hands of a two-and-a-half-meter-tall "person", like a cub being held in his hands.
After entering a huge dome building, he was thrown to the ground.
There is a round hole in the dome to allow light to shine in.
It just happened to shine on him.
Those who came kneeled in the shadows and kowtowed to the heights.
Looking around, the lower level of the building is made up of arches and columns, while the upper level is a structure with niches one after another. Each niche is carved with a god-shaped wall carving.
At this moment, most of the niches are occupied by people, while some are empty.
These people stood in the niches and looked down at the former King Ztyk, as if they were looking at a clown on a stage or an animal waiting to be slaughtered.
He felt extremely humiliated, but he didn't even dare to look at them.
After he lost his identity as King of Ztic, he became just an ordinary mortal.
Moreover, even if he still retains his status as a king, he is not cared about at all in front of these arrogant members of the Divine Form Society who believe that they have inherited the divine form and power of God.
The niches are stacked higher and higher, with a niche at the top.
A sitting figure finally spoke.
"Speak, mortal."
"Tell me everything you know."
The figure was aloof and his words were extremely arrogant.
In this building, which was built as if it were dedicated to gods, it stood tall, as if it really regarded itself as a god-like existence.
As soon as he said this, the former King Ztic felt various strange hormones secreting in his body unconsciously, fear surged into his heart, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He was extremely frightened, but his body couldn't help but speak.
I didn't dare to hide even a single bit and told everything I knew.
Including the scene where he met Helfas.
After everything was said, he knelt on the ground involuntarily.
He felt that he was like a puppet at the mercy of the weird person who spoke. His body and even the emotions and desires in his body could be manipulated and manipulated at will.
"Nothing to hide?"
In an instant, all the "people" in the niches moved and looked at him in unison.
In the darkness, the former King Ztic saw a pair of terrifying eyes flashing with strange lights in the darkness.
As they moved, strange forces penetrated the space. The metal snakes on the pillars came to life. The bricks on the walls turned into fleshy bumps and began to squirm. The terrifying carvings seemed to be coming from the stone.
Out of it came a strange incarnation into the world.
This scene reveals the truth here. No one here, at least, does not regard themselves as human beings.
He shouted quickly.
"What I said is real."
"Everything I said is true, don't kill me, don't kill me."
His fearful noise seemed to disgust these superior god-shaped beings.
The being sitting in the highest niche did not speak, but only glanced downwards.
The tall man who had been kneeling behind the former King Ztic stood up at some point and grabbed him, directly holding his torso with his huge palm, and then grabbed his head with his other hand.
"Zi la!"
Blood spattered, but when it landed on the ground, it was immediately swallowed by the floor.
The other party actually unscrewed his head with lightning speed.
Then, it was actually connected to his neck.
Flesh and blood spread and grow.
The original fracture heals directly.
At this moment, the "person" has two heads on his body.
At this time, the former King Ztic immediately wanted to cry out in despair and fear.
He is indeed not dead yet, but this doesn't seem to be the way he wants to live.
But before he could shout, a huge palm that was too wide to look like a human hand pressed down on his mouth.
He was horrified to see another terrifying head looking at him next to him.
He stretched out his other hand and grinned, revealing fang-like teeth.
Made a shushing gesture.
In this way, the former King Ztic and the monster merged into one body and retreated together, dragging the remains of his body behind.
In the alcove hall.
Only those high-ranking, godlike people are left.
Ancient existences reappeared in the world, and past legends were confirmed.
At this moment, the niche was obviously full of "people", but no one spoke or responded at this moment, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Until the person in the highest niche stood up and walked to the edge little by little.
He looked up at the light shining from the round hole in the dome and said.
