Alien world

Chapter 1146 68. The Origin of the Kingdom

Vaughn's chest stopped rising and falling, his cracked eyes were open, and there was a hint of regret on his face.

"he died."

Samael Nightsong said that even the soul has dissipated.

In the end, they didn't get any useful information out of the interrogation... except that the moon elf was still alive.

Annan didn't feel much pleasure from revenge. Vaughn didn't release hostility towards him, and Annan felt very conflicted. It was as if... they didn't do these things to provoke a war.

But what else could a group of humans who were destroying the Elf King's Court and killing the Elf residents be motivated by? If it was revenge, they could have been honest and exposed it, instead of hiding it like this.

No matter how noble the ideals are, killing innocent people is unacceptable.

Anyway...even though the clues were broken, they still had some insignificant gains.

Annan knew that Irilanze was still alive, and Elder Ares knew that the attackers were closely related to the Kingdom of Paem and that they were plotting a new conspiracy.

"I will go and tell the news to the Council of Elders." Elder Ares, with a gloomy face, left, no longer caring about Annan who was standing outside the cell, who was supposed to be standing in the cell, which was considered as tacit approval of his actions.

The clue was broken, but Annan had no intention of giving up.

Irelanze is still alive, but only temporarily. Even the summoning spell cannot bring her back, so I guess her condition is not very good.

If you want to understand the power behind Vaughn, you must understand the Kingdom of Paem.

Annan only knew Prince Aidan, and as a citizen of the kingdom, he was also suspicious...but what reason did he have to do such a thing?

Could it be that the Kingdom of Paem is the real mastermind...

"I'm going back to the Messenger Village." Annan said, preparing to test Prince Aidan.

"I'll let Kael'thas escort you."

It was still the elf team following Annan, but there was one more Kael'thas.

After setting off, Annan took the initiative to greet Kael'thas.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Do you like Leona?" Under normal circumstances, Annan might have been more tactful.

Leona, who was jumping in front, almost fell from the treetop. She turned her eyes wide open and glared at Annan in shame and anger.

"Uh... it's too early for me to like this kind of thing." said Kael'thas.

"Do you have a good impression then?"

This time Kael'thas did not deny it.

Annan took advantage of the victory and added some lies: "You should have heard the story of Irelanze and I, right? Actually... we are lovers. We originally planned to get married after the alliance, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened... So, don't let waiting become a regret."

"I understand. After all the attackers are driven out, I will propose to Leona." Kael'thas unexpectedly listened to the advice.

Leona looked surprised and couldn't help but let her imagination run wild when Annan's voice came over.

"There's no need to be so anxious..."

……

Samael Nightsong asked the elf team to follow Annan to protect him, so they did not leave after returning to the Messenger Village. However, the Messenger Village is probably the safest place in the royal court.

It was late at night, but the lights were still on in Prince Aidan's cabin. Annan placed them in his cabin, went to greet the Skeleton King, and then came to Prince Aidan's cabin.

Knock knock knock - soon, Prince Aidan opened the door.

"Annan?" he asked in surprise.

"I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

"No... I'm busy dealing with some things." Prince Aidan stepped aside and invited Annan in.

Annan walked into the wooden house and saw some parchment on the tree table.

"Have you resolved your issue?"

Prince Aidan closed the door behind him.

"Well, we caught an attacker. He's from the Kingdom."

Annan observed Prince Aidan's expression. He showed appropriate doubts, hiding his emotions and expressions very well, without revealing a single bit.

"But... he's a bad guy as expected, but it just gives me mixed feelings."

"complex?"

"For example, I am like a guard who catches criminals. I caught a gang leader who oppressed the common people. He was pure evil, and I sent him to the gallows without any pressure. A few days later, I caught an ordinary person who killed a noble. He should be hanged, but he did it because the noble oppressed his wife and daughter, seized his farmland, and forced him to live."

"Do you think the murderer is a good person?"

"No, I just think... there's a story behind him." Annan raised his head, "So I came to you to ask you about the history of the kingdom."

Prince Aidan put away the pile of parchments and sat down at the table: "The history of the kingdom... that was a thousand years ago."

The Kingdom of Paem was established in the harsh and cruel environment of the north of Wilhelm, surrounded by mountains, elves and orcs, chaos and death, and the barrier could not protect them. In this environment, the human beings at that time were rough at best and chaotic at worst.

At this time, a figure walked out from the warm and safe barrier and led the people who were still living in tribes to find a refuge to settle down, taught them how to survive in the wilderness, avoid blizzards and dangers, open up settlements, and establish strict rules and regulations.

He seemed to have no selfishness or emotions, and everything he did was for the continuation of mankind.

All resources obtained were distributed to the residents instead of piling them up in the treasury, and hard-earned spoils were sold for weapons to arm soldiers instead of building palaces for themselves.

But from another angle, he seems like a cold machine.

When a blizzard came, he would drive everyone into the mines to mine enough coal to survive the cold. When orcs attacked, he would force all adult men to take up arms and go to the front lines to fight the enemy.

And everyone can understand, because everything he does is to help people survive in this cruel environment.

He gradually established a powerful force, a stable order, and a peaceful kingdom in this desolate land. Then he left.

No one knew if he would come back, but under the leadership of his descendants, the kingdom became better and better. They chased the orcs, killed them all, and put an end to foreign threats; they drove away the elves, reclaimed the forest, and obtained fertile land; they issued decrees, established order, and kept barbarism and chaos away from the kingdom.

So far, so good.

But the Kingdom of Paem stands above the rules, and is also caught up in the rules...

The nobles attributed the kingdom's great achievements to rules rather than people, so kings and dignitaries of all generations were keen on making various rules.

The kingdom’s rules are becoming more and more numerous, detailed, complicated, and rigid.

The identity of each kingdom member is fixed because solidification represents stability.

The identities of their offspring are also fixed, because desires lead to turmoil.

Everyone just does what is consistent with their identity, because change means chaos.
