Chapter 679 Return
The so-called trouble is also a trouble that Alleria needs to worry about. After all, the holy sword is drawn out and the seal is lifted. Then you go back and tell everyone that the devil has escaped. Isn't this a trap?
But if you want to say that the Demon King has been sealed, then when he shows up in the end, your bullshit will be exposed directly.
But this is an issue that Aurelia has to consider, and Duanmuhuai doesn't care about it.
But having said that, he was quite familiar with this brave man's cool moves.
In order to gain power, betraying one's own descendants——well, a certain emperor also did similar tricks.
Later, I wanted to default on the debt, but it turned out that the creditor was not easy to mess with.
Therefore, what Duanmu Huai despises the most is this kind of clever person. If you have the ability, you will do it, but if you don't have the ability, you will be cowardly. If you insist on fooling around in the minefield, you will eventually explode one day. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet. What's the point of being clever? If you win, you won't be on the stage. If you lose, it means you are a fool...
Players have this attitude towards the Emperor. The more they know, the less respect they have for the Emperor. All the emperor's glorious deeds were basically crushed by him. Whenever the Emperor causes trouble, most of the time he insists on wasting his time and ends up overturning the situation. And again and again and again…………
In the final analysis, the Emperor was too self-righteous.
Take Imperial Truth as an example. The Emperor's original intention was to block information about subspace and chaos through Imperial Truth. But here comes the problem. There are so many people in the Human Empire, and he dares to pat his chest and guarantee that no one in the world will go from now to the future. Exploring the subspace? Interested in chaos?
Science cannot prove the existence of God, so why are there so few people who believe in God?
Moreover, the Evil God is not the final BOSS in the game. If you don’t touch it, it won’t move. Wouldn’t it take the initiative to seduce mortals?
Not to mention the existence of psykers. When humans come into contact with subspace, their first reaction is, is this different from what the Emperor said? Second reaction, am I dazzled? The third reaction is, I’m not dazzled, is the Empire’s truth a fucking lie? This stupid emperor lied to me?
Oh, wouldn't that be the end of it?
So Imperial Truth was a fool's errand from the beginning. Unless the Emperor controls all humans to create a collective consciousness that does not allow any individual thought to appear, and then kills all psykers, then you are just fooling yourself and others.
Not to mention that the subspace itself is chaotic. Players once made a joke, that is, even if the Emperor successfully implements the Imperial Truth, and humans fully believe in the Imperial Truth, then maybe a famous person will appear in the subspace. As an "atheistic" evil god. And all the people of the empire are followers of this evil god, and if they imitate Slaanesh and roar when they see injustice, they swallow all human souls and become the fifth evil god, then aren't you humans the second spirit race?
After all, subspace is here. Whether you deny it or not, does it have anything to do with it?
When you close your eyes, darkness is your business, and the sun doesn't care.
Therefore, the emperor's so-called imperial truth seems to players to be a standard deception and a pure joke.
Forget it, I digressed, let’s bring it back.
The most troublesome thing now is the devil.
Judging from the current situation, the Demon King should be about the same size as an ordinary person. He is not a ten-meter-tall monster spitting fire. Moreover, he has been running around for so many years. Where can he find it?
But since the Demon King signed a contract with the Hero, it means that he will definitely not take action within five hundred years.
Five hundred years have passed now?
Although not finding the Demon King was indeed a huge blow, fortunately, when leaving the fortress, Alleria acted resolutely and did not make a big fuss, so most people didn't know what happened. After sending scouts to conduct reconnaissance and confirming that the monsters on the ice sheet had completely dissipated, Alleria announced that the defensive operation of the North Fortress had been successfully completed, and most of the legions would follow her back to the Royal City of Ruminas, leaving only Some regular soldiers were dismounted and continued to defend here.
Naturally, Duanmuhuai followed Alleria to Ruminas' royal city.
After learning the news that the monster army's attack failed, the whole country in Ruminas was also excited. When Alleria led the army through the city gate, flower petals were flying in the wind, cheering people were everywhere on both sides, and the loud bells echoed over the city.
As for Duanmuhuai...
"Well, I have to say, this scene is really familiar."
Watching Aurelia walking through the streets with flying petals towards the palace, Duanmuhuai murmured to himself. He stretched out his hand and took the flying petals, only to see the delicate and bright petals on Duanmuhuai's side. The fingertips become shriveled and withered. Then Duanmuhuai threw the petals aside and continued to move forward.
Next, it was time for Alleria to open the door, walk into the throne room, come in front of the king and kill her father with a sword... Well, this was overthinking.
"You're back safe, Alleria."
The old man sitting on the throne looked skinny. If Duanmuhuai hadn't sensed the aura of the dead from his body, he would have even suspected that the old man might have become a necromantic lich.
"You did a good job in the battle in the North..."
The old king was out of breath. To be honest, looking at the old man in front of him, Duanmuhuai suspected that he might just pass away without Alleria doing anything.
"This is all thanks to everyone."
Alleria lowered her head, her expression unchanged.
"Without the sacrifice and hard work of all the soldiers, we would not be able to defeat the monster and win."
"Well, I know...the sacrifices of the soldiers...are heartbreaking. I will give them adequate rewards...yes, rewards..."
The old man's voice was so unclear that Duanmuhuai had to wonder whether the king had Alzheimer's disease. In fact, during the whole process of speaking, he seemed to have only Alleria in his eyes. Duanmu Huai was clearly standing not far behind Alleria, but he didn't even look at Duanmu Huai.
Well, if he's not blind, he must be blind.
"Your Majesty, I have something very important to report to you..."
"Cough...cough cough cough...!!"
However, just when Alleria raised her head and planned to say something to the king, she saw the old king coughing suddenly and violently. His broken breathing sound, as if a bellows was being pulled, echoed in the royal court, and just then At this time, a man wearing a black robe and a look that said "I am suspicious" walked to the king and whispered something to the king, and the king nodded. , looking at Alleria again.
Then, the man raised his head and spoke.
"Your Majesty is not in good health, so let's stop here. Your Highness Alleria, the military department will be responsible for the rewards for the legion."
"………………I know."
Aurelia's expression did not change at all, and her eyes seemed very silent. She bowed, then turned and left the hall, while Duanmuhuai glanced at the man who helped him up, and walked back like a hemiplegic stroke patient. The old king left with Alleria. "………………Sorry."
After walking out of the royal court, Alleria turned her head and apologized to Duanmu Huai.
"Originally, my father said that he would grant you the title of Holy Sword Commander during this meeting..."
It turns out that the title of player was given by this paraplegic Alzheimer?
This is too much!
"It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, that person... doesn't seem to be in good health?"
"Yes, my father had a sudden illness two years ago, and his health has been deteriorating since then..."
Speaking of this, Aurelia shook her head.
"As for your reward, the military department will take a while."
"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that I also plan to take a stroll in the royal capital."
"Okay, then...I will send Erica to contact you later."
"Haha, see you later."
Duanmu Huai didn't pay too much attention. After all, he had already accomplished half of his goal when he arrived in the royal capital.
As for the other half…………
"Master!"
As soon as Duanmu Huai walked out of the palace gate, Ogis and Qiangwei rushed over and hugged him.
"You came out so soon?"
"There's really nothing to do...well, that's wrong, there's still something to do."
"What happened?"
"You will find out if you follow me."
Duanmu Huai patted Qiaowei's head, while Qiangwei proudly threw a provocative look at Ojisi. Faced with Qiaowei's expression, Ojisi's brows frowned slightly, and then returned to their original state again. .
Duanmuhuai didn't care about the affairs between the two puppet sisters. He had not forgotten that one of the purposes of coming to this world this time was to obtain the Holy Sword and the title of Commander of the Holy Sword - well, the Holy Sword should be regarded as Got it?
The other one is to find talents for his territory, and by chance, Duanmuhuai happens to know that there is indeed such a place in the royal city of Ruminas!
"Let's go, we have a lot to do next."
In a dark alley in Luminas King City, there is such a shop, which is very famous among players.
The reasons are as follows.
First, the shop owner is a beautiful girl.
Second, this store offers genuine products.
Third, among the businesses of this store... there is a human resources person!
That's right, just like a modern professional agency, it introduces members to you. In the game, players can obtain a series of "neutral" soul cards by trading with the store manager, many of which are related to domestic and foreign affairs. Talents in this field are extremely useful for players, especially those in the Soul Messenger profession.
Of course, these soul cards are also valuable and cost a lot of money, but... Fortunately, Duanmuhuai is rich and not afraid of spending money.
Now I'm afraid that the store is a website officially operated by the game and does not exist in reality. Duanmuhuai will be numb if this happens.
Fortunately, when Duanmuhuai walked into the alley and arrived at the destination according to his memory, he was relieved when he saw the familiar shop.
Then, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.
“Dingle bell…”
The doorbell rang, and then Duanmu Huai walked into the shop and looked around.
There is almost no difference between this place and the game. There are a large number of display cabinets placed next to the walls on both sides, and in these display cabinets, there are soul cards. Yes, this is also a game. The only place where soul cards are openly displayed and sold!
At the same time, a clear and sweet voice sounded.
"Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to the House of Fantasy."
Along with this voice, Duanmuhuai saw a girl with smooth black hair and a cloak covering her whole body walking out.
"I am Stifal, the manager of this store. What do you need?"
Then, the girl looked at Duanmu Huai and asked with a smile.
