Chapter 389 [Heart of the King]

ten years?

Xia En, who was watching, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Just now, it seemed to him that it was just a blink of an eye.

But in fact, did it span an entire decade?

However, what made him even more curious was.

Ten years later, why did Laila visit King Xin late at night?

Just then.

King Xin said: "I only started the investigation in this area after the Elf Kingdom completely disappeared."

"If I could discover the truth earlier, maybe... I would have more time to prepare, right?"

Hearing the word "Elven Country", a hint of sadness flashed in Laila's eyes.

But she didn't show anything on the surface, she just said.

"You don't need to feel guilty about it."

"At that time, anyone who heard such a prediction would not believe it for the first time."

Laila said helplessly.

"In fact, you are already much better than the kings of many countries on the continent."

"At least, you are willing to verify whether that prophecy is true."

“And to this day, many kings do not want to believe the prophecies from my mouth.

"Among them, very few have taken action."

"However, some kingdoms that believe in gods seem to have received some kind of instructions from the gods, and thus began to prepare for the disaster of annihilation."

"Among them, there is a kingdom named Shuton, which seems to have thought of a path that relies on the Lord of Billions of Lights."

"It's just that I'm not very optimistic about this method of placing hope on gods."

With that said, Laila turned her gaze to King Xin and asked.

"So, what about you?"

"King of [Great Yan Kingdom], in the past ten years, have you ever thought of any way to save the world?"

Upon hearing this, King Xin fell into a brief silence.

Then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No."

"An alien god from the [Secret Sea], its existence and power are too mysterious and too unknown for us."

"I have thought that the most feasible method is to go directly to the [Secret Sea] and kill the alien god, or completely cut off the connection between him and our world."

"However, let's not talk about the terrifying strength possessed by that god."

"Even to this day, we can't be sure where He is in the [Secret Sea]?"

"Not to mention taking the initiative to find the connection between Him and our world."

Hearing this, Laila's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Even you can't help it?"

"Could it be that...this world-destroying disaster cannot be avoided after all?"

In these hundreds of years of travel, all she got was disappointment, so much so that even with Laila's willpower, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

King Xin hesitated and said.

"Actually, just a few days ago, a man who claimed to be the [Omniscient Sage] came to me and claimed that he had a way to prevent the disaster of annihilation."

"[Omniscient Sage]?"

Laila couldn't help but frown when she heard the name.

"I have never heard of such a number one person in the world."

This kind of thing is actually incredible.

Lyra traveled across the continent for hundreds of years.

She will remember the names of all the lost people with extraordinary abilities or those amazing geniuses.

And at the appropriate time, he told them the prophecy of a world-destroying flood.

However, in Laila's memory, there has never been anyone claiming to be an [Omniscient Sage].

It's almost like...

This guy just appeared out of nowhere.

But unfortunately, this [Omniscient Sage] also knew information about the world-destroying flood, and even said that he had a way to prevent the great flood.

No matter how you look at it, it gives people a very suspicious feeling.

However, the world is so big, and unknown strong men may emerge from somewhere.

Therefore, Laila asked patiently.

"What's the solution he's talking about?"

"It's a seal."

King Xin replied.

"Since we cannot prevent the great flood from coming to this world in advance."

"Then we can only seal the flood at the moment it comes, and try to control the affected area to the minimum."

"In this way, the crisis will naturally be resolved."

"Instead of stopping it at the source, should we consider what will happen after the flood comes?"

Laila looked thoughtful and analyzed rationally.

"Although it sounds ridiculous, it doesn't seem to be impossible."

"However, the crux of the matter is..."

"How to seal the flood?"

King Xin explained: "The [Omniscient Sage] claimed."

"He masters a unique sealing ritual. As long as he accumulates enough ice power and arranges the ritual in advance, he can do this."

Speaking of this, King Xin's tone couldn't help but be a little complicated.

"And it just so happens that there is a tribe called the "Ice and Snow People" within the territory of our [Great Yan Kingdom]."

"Their bodies are filled with blood that is naturally capable of mastering the secret power of ice."

"If we let them help, we should be able to successfully build this ritual."

[People of Ice and Snow]...the secret power of ice...

Hearing this, the first thing Laila thought of was the masked man who attacked her ten years ago and massacred people all over the [Great Yan Kingdom].

At that time, what the other party seemed to have was such a cold power.

Seemingly reading Laila's thoughts, King Xin explained.

"Yes, the murderer was also a member of the [Ice and Snow People]."

"In this family, there are many people who are hostile to me and the [Great Yan Kingdom]."

"So, conventional methods probably cannot get them to assist in this plan..."

"Wait!"

Lila couldn't help but interrupt.

"Have you decided to adopt the plan of the [All-Knowing Sage]?"

"In my opinion, that guy is too suspicious. Both his identity and origin are unknown."

"And don't you think all this is a bit too coincidental?"

Lila analyzed rationally.

"How could it be so coincidental that he came to you after you confirmed the authenticity of the world-destroying flood?"

"And it's so coincidental that there is a group of people in your country who master the secret power of ice and cold."

Lila's attitude was full of strong suspicion.

She didn't believe that there were such coincidences in the world.

When so many coincidences come together, it is likely that there is a conspiracy with ulterior motives.

In response, the Fire King showed a helpless bitter smile.

"Of course I know that the [All-Knowing Sage] is very suspicious."

"Maybe he has some unknown purpose, but now I have no other choice."

"If you don't do anything now, it will be too late."

Xian, who was standing by, immediately understood the mentality of the Fire King.

If he did nothing, things would only get worse and worse.

Until the flood came completely.

Although the [All-Knowing Sage] of this era is extremely suspicious, it at least provides a feasible path.

The Fire King would rather make mistakes than do nothing!

Lila obviously saw the Fire King's mentality and could only sigh.

The Fire King continued.

"Don't worry, since I know that the [Omniscient Sage] may not be trustworthy, I will naturally be on guard against him in the process of cooperating with him."

"I also plan to conduct in-depth research on the icy secret power."

"Maybe... I can find a way to seal the world-destroying flood without the secret technique of the [Omniscient Sage]. "

Obviously, the Cinder King at this time was not overwhelmed by the plan of the [Omniscient Sage], but planned to pretend to be submissive and find other ways to save the world.

I think.

This is probably why the Cinder King was very wary of the [Omniscient Sage] and did not let him touch the research results.

In a sense, this is exactly the reason behind the rebellion in the institute.

"Sorry, these things can only be left to you."

There was a hint of expectation in Leila's tone.

Such a large-scale research, of course, cannot be done by her alone.

Only someone like the Cinder King, who can drive the people of the entire country and mobilize the whole country's strength, can overcome those technical difficulties.

In the past, Leila might have been able to do it with the help of the power of the Elf Kingdom.

But now, her hometown has disappeared from this world.

It is naturally impossible to mobilize the so-called national strength.

Check out the correct version in 16-9 Book Bar!

As someone who almost ascended the throne of the Elf Queen, Leila can more or less understand the situation of the Fire King, and said with a little sympathy.

"After this, you will probably be hated or even hated by your own people, right?"

The term "national strength" has always been extremely heavy.

Especially when it falls on every citizen, it will form an unbearable pressure.

In addition, the Fire King cannot directly inform his people of the existence of the prophecy of the destruction of the world.

It is not difficult to imagine that many citizens will not agree with or understand what the Fire King has done.

Even... will ignite the fire of rebellion in [Dayan Country].

At that time.

The Fire King will also bear an unimaginable psychological burden.

But hearing this.

The Fire King shook his head slowly: "I believe in my people, just as they believe in me."

"Besides, I have already realized it in my heart."

"Even if they nail me to the pillar of shame after discovering my despicable behavior, I will firmly follow my path."

"History and later generations will vindicate me."

Lila's heart was slightly shocked.

It was not until this moment that she suddenly understood why the Fire King was one of the few kings mentioned by Shane.

Perhaps, he truly has a king's heart.

Even the former Leila did not have such a mentality.

After thinking for a while, Leila said.

"Although I can't personally participate in your research, there are things I can do."

As she said, Leila pushed the [Eternal Coffin] beside her forward.

"This crystal coffin has the function of storing icy secret power and also has the power to transcend time."

"I have done experiments, and the icy secret power it can store is almost infinite."

"I will lend it to you temporarily as a research object and a container for storing secret power."

"There is such a strange thing?"

The eyes of the Fire King lit up, and he took over the [Eternal Coffin] that was taller than him, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Let's not talk about the icy secret power stored in it.

The Fire King also sensed an aura from it that seemed to transcend time and transcend this world.

Obviously.

This is definitely an extremely rare and precious treasure.

And now, this mysterious man in black robes gave it to him casually.

This couldn't help but touch the Fire King's heart

He couldn't help but ask: "By the way, I still don't know the name of my senior..."

However, when King Xin raised his head, Laila was no longer in front of him.

There was only one voice, which seemed to come from a very far away place.

"Names don't matter."

"I'll always be watching you and your research."

"I hope... you won't disappoint me."

"We will meet again in the future."

The sound drifted farther and farther away, and soon dissipated in the cold night of [the Far North].

"I'll do my best."

King Xin murmured in his heart.

He looked into the distance, as if looking into the distant future.

Just now.

A cold female voice came from the bedroom.

"King? What are you doing at the palace gate?"

That was exactly An Bing's voice.

A complex tenderness appeared on King Xin's face, and he responded immediately.

"I'll be right back."

He patted the [Eternal Coffin] beside him and said softly.

"The mission of saving the world falls on you and me."

…

…

The moment the words fell.

The scene in front of Xia En became chaotic and hazy again.

He knew that this was another time jump.

Only this time, the light and shadow in his eyes became particularly bright and strange.

There was a faint feeling of falling, pulling on his body.

The time of confusion of consciousness was longer than the previous two times.

Wait until those dancing lights and shadows calm down.

What caught Xia En's eyes was a cold and dead hall.

The towering dome, iron-gray walls, and empty square... make this place look more like a mausoleum.

And the [Eternal Coffin] is naturally the only coffin in this mausoleum.

"here it is……"

Xia En felt surprised.

With just one glance, he recognized that this square was the deepest hall of the underground research institute that he had visited before.

Xia En even opened the [Eternal Coffin] there, thus witnessing one piece of history after another.

And on the wall and floor of the hall.

There are also some cracks and blood stains, like traces left after a battle.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia En's perspective is still blocked in the [Eternal Coffin].

He almost thought that he was back to the scene when he left before.

And at this time.

Although the hall was empty, it was not empty.

Beside Xia En, there was stationed a [Black Flame Walker] with a mole under his right eye.

It is the elder brother of the legendary pair of brothers.

But at this time, his left arm disappeared, leaving only an empty sleeve.

As for his younger brother, he was nowhere to be seen.

Xia En suddenly felt enlightened.

This situation was obviously different from the memory scenes he had experienced before.

That is to say.

This is actually what happened to these legendary brothers in real history.

In the face of the attack from the [Truth Society], although they successfully prevented the other party from taking away the [Eternal Coffin], they also left injuries that were difficult to heal.

As for the younger brother of the two.

It is even more likely that he died directly in this turmoil.

At the same time as Xia En was thinking.

The door to the hall slowly opened.

King Xin walked in from outside the door.
