Chapter 539 Kingly Style
Celephais always has that pleasant scenery in the "morning".
During this dawn stage after dusk, the residents of the entire eternal kingdom often collectively hold some prayer ceremonies to praise and thank the Lord God "Nas Horsas" for the eternal blessings he has bestowed upon them. , on some special days, permanent residents will also hold morning tea parties.
It’s just that compared to usual times, the city of Cerephis and even the entire Os-Nargai after dusk this time were missing the sounds of laughter, singing and dancing.
The permanent residents can no longer remember how many years they have been away from death.
So much so that when the power of annihilation came back, the "birth, old age, sickness and death" that was part of the laws of nature caused double the trauma to their souls.
Of course, the so-called annihilation is not the return of time. Milo destroyed some of the crystallized people and the death crystals they carried. Those time will not be returned. It was Milo himself who caused panic and haze in the city of Seraphis.
Another price of eternity is that the already weak human souls become even more fragile. They all hide in this huge cage in order to escape the laws of time that normal creatures need to endure. Even normal laws How could they withstand the destruction of their soul's sanity by a shadow when they couldn't bear the pain they suffered.
Compared with souls like Nero and Mogot, the Eternal Dwellers are more sensitive than swaddling babies.
……
The appearance of Milo triggered a fierce battle at the port of Celerphes and panic among the residents of the city.
The people in this royal city did not inherit the fearless qualities of the aborigines of this site. On the contrary, it was fear that brought them here, becoming the eyes and ears of the gods, monitoring all movements in the restricted area.
So just glancing at the dark shadow across the sky, even if the shadow only stayed within their field of vision for a moment, was enough to trigger madness.
Because what they saw was not a dark shadow at all, but the deepest fear deep in their hearts.
…
To be honest, Milo was a little bit reluctant to leave Os-Nargai, because this place was simply a "pasture" custom-made for him. He could get the deepest and purest fear here, Os-Nargai. Every weak soul within the borders of Nargai is the perfect soil to nourish fear, and as a devourer of fear, Milo can be fed white and fat.
"Maybe next time..."
These were Milo's original words before leaving the dreamland.
…
From the restricted area to the eternal kingdom.
The fearless race lived the most arduous life in the harshest environment, while the vulnerable souls were imprisoned by the gods and enjoyed the treatment of heaven with no worries about food and clothing.
It is obvious which one is more pitiful, but which one of the two is more pitiable is difficult to judge.
......
The dilapidated Port of Celephais is in a state of depression at the moment.
There are countless wooden fragments from damaged ships floating in the surrounding sea. The port seems to have been burned by everyone. Everything is covered with a layer of black ash, and the thick smoke lingers in the sky and refuses to leave.
The Eternal City is filled with a sad atmosphere at the moment.
And just like Milo said, the citizens don't seem to care about their missing king at all.
Not only the citizens, but also the guards of the Royal City and even the priests of the Emerald Temple, after suffering this series of heavy losses, everyone was as lost as if they had lost their souls. From the residents at the bottom to the high-level royal family, from the Royal City When the defenders went to the temple to pray, no one came up with the idea of rescuing King Kuranth.
All the souls in the entire country are like giant babies. After suffering a blow, everyone is looking for a broad shoulder to lean on for a painful meal, and even lose the thinking that normal people should have. ability.
From this point of view, the King of Kurans should probably be classified as "pathetic".
...
Of course, perhaps because he has an absolutely profound and clear understanding of this country, Kurans, as the king, did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction or resentment, and he did not even respond to the residents' resistance. The spirit has had extravagant hopes. So much so that when he climbed ashore and saw the depressed scene in the port, there was no obvious emotion on his face.
Ah, yes, respected King Kurans, he crawled back from the sea.
Not only that.
The wounds on his body were no longer visible.
The face that was originally scratched by the crystal remained intact, without even leaving a scar.
The missing butt is back too.
The only thing that has not recovered is the dressing gown that was finely chopped into pieces.
So this old old king actually appeared in the port naked.
The good news is that the area is now deserted, and the frightened citizens have evacuated the port and fled inland because there are rumors that the terrifying shadow is still wandering near the port.
When Kurans came ashore, he originally planned to wrap a piece of fishing net or torn canvas around himself to hide his shame.
Now that I see this scene, I simply let some parts of my body that have no chance to see the sun come out and feel the sea breeze.
......
Kurans just crossed the harbor naked.
The functional departments here that were originally responsible for managing inbound and outbound transactions and transportation were all empty. Even restaurants, pubs, and hospitals were empty.
Old Currans casually walked into the back kitchen of a tavern and cooked a Bogu stew very skillfully as if he were in his own kitchen, then poured a glass of rum and squeezed in lemon. juice, and then sat alone at the bar to enjoy it.
It was clearly the moment after the disaster, but Kurans behaved extremely calmly and leisurely.
After eating and drinking, he dug out the cigarettes collected by the tavern owner from the cabinet behind the bar, then crossed his legs and started puffing away.
It is not difficult to see that the moment of tranquility after the disaster left made the old king very contented.
He couldn't even remember the last time he had breakfast naked.
…
…
But soon, this rare peace was broken.
The king's return has rekindled "hope" in the city of Seraphis.
The guards and priests put Kurans' robes back on, and under his leadership, they conducted funeral ceremonies for the residents who lost their lives in this storm.
Because people in the Eternal Kingdom theoretically cannot die, there is not even land planned for use as a cemetery within the country. Just because of this issue, the king, prime minister and ruling ministers Nearly thirty hours of deliberations and discussions took place.
Finally after finishing all these tedious steps.
Kurans announced something.
…
"Reorganize the army, we are going to take back the lost crystal. By the way, we will capture those water spinach who betrayed the eternal kingdom and accept sanctions."
