The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 184 The Great Blessing of Return

"Wake up, Li Ang, we are back in the royal city."

Li Ang woke up from his sleep amidst Marlenia's concerned calls.

The dusty air continued to irritate his nasal passages, causing him to sneeze several times.

"Sorry, I couldn't hold back."

"It's okay." Marlenia carefully checked his physical condition, and finally felt relieved after checking that there was nothing unusual about him: "I'm a little worried because you haven't woken up yet."

Li Ang slowly sat up: "I was too close to my destined death just now and was knocked unconscious, so I slept for a long time."

Marlenia's face turned cold and she scolded her sternly: "You are too reckless. How can you come into contact with such dangerous things casually? What if something happens?"

"Pay attention next time." Li Ang promised, but he was actually feeling the changes in his body.

In fact, he lied. The real reason why he was unconscious for so long was that he had intercepted a part of the destined death that should have been released to the junction.

"Where is my beloved uncle?"

Marlenia raised her chin: "In front."

Li Ang turned his head and looked back, and sure enough he saw Latarn, who was extremely eye-catching.

At the same time, the shocking royal city of Rodel was also clearly seen.

The golden tree that once held a soft light was now completely red. The lush branches and leaves covering half of the sky were burning with raging fire, and most of the sky was reflected in red.

Countless twinkling sparks drifted down from the treetops, occupying the entire field of vision.

The magnificent buildings in the city have long since been destroyed and buried under layers of ashes. Occasionally, pieces of golden rubble can be found among the ashes, telling the story of the former splendor and glory of this royal city.

The choking turbid wind and dry leaves swept across the gloomy land from time to time, making it look like an apocalyptic scene.

"After all, we have not escaped the fate of turning into a gray city."

Li Ang's tone was slightly regretful.

As the lord of this place, Marlenia was very tolerant and comforted her: "The golden tree is too big and the royal city is very close, so it will bear the brunt of the impact."

"After it is completely burned, we can slowly clean up and repair it."

"When you were unconscious, I checked around you. The Holy Tree Army and the residents in the city should have withdrawn in advance. This is the best result."

Li Ang patted his butt and stood up: "Where have those people gone now?"

Marlenia shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't had time to contact them yet."

Li Ang heard this and called out Bayek: "Go and have a look outside the city. If you encounter Zunfu or the Holy Tree Army, ask about the specific situation."

Bayek turned into a giant eagle and flew away from the royal city, while he and Malenia walked towards Latarn.

"Uncle, where are you enjoying the scenery?"

Latarn, who was looking at the golden tree in the distance, turned back: "It is indeed an extraordinary scenery!"

Then he asked concernedly: "Are you okay?"

Li Ang stretched and said, "It has never been so good!"

"That's okay." Latarn nodded with satisfaction: "If you have any shortcomings, I can't explain it to Lani."

Marlenia suddenly asked: "By the way, why didn't Lani come with you?"

Latan looked at his brother-in-law, meaning you asked him.

"Lani is traveling far away." Li Ang found a reason at random, and then suggested: "The thorn of rejection should be burned away. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Okay." Latarn responded immediately: "If I hadn't waited for you to wake up just now, I would have gone."

Marlenia originally wanted to ask some more questions about Lani, but it was obvious that Li Ang was not very interested, so she gave up.

Afterwards, the three of them climbed over the high ash mountain and headed to the platform at the foot of the tree.

The queen's boudoir and the platform at the rear were not affected much because they were located high enough, and basically maintained their original appearance.

Latarn hadn't been here for a long time, and he didn't expect that everything would be different when he came again.

He looked up at the golden tree with emotion on his face.

Although the surface was burning red, like a soldering iron that was about to melt, the passage leading to the interior still emitted a dazzling golden light, making it difficult to look directly at it.

Li Ang walked to him and said, "This is the last step to become a king. Don't you plan to go in and take a look?"

Latan looked at the two people who were motionless and asked with great confusion: "Don't you have any idea about the throne?"

Li Ang pouted: "It's not that easy to be a king, especially the king of the border area. Besides, I'm used to being free and loose, so I can't be restricted by a crown."

Marlenia stretched out her hand to catch a fallen leaf that was burning with sparks: "I don't want to think about it now."

Seeing that the two people's attitudes did not seem to be fake, Latarn immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we would eventually turn against each other because of the throne."

After a pause, he added: "To be honest, I want to give it a try."

"No matter whether it succeeds or not in the end, I have to give myself an explanation."

"Then congratulate my uncle in advance on the new king's enthronement!" Li Ang laughed and applauded, and then changed the subject: "However, I have to remind you, what laws do you plan to implement after becoming king? Do you still need to continue to use them? The tattered golden law?”

His words immediately put Latarn at a loss for words: "Well, I haven't thought about this yet."

If any world wants to develop and change, it needs a set of effective operating rules.

This is what the law does.

Throughout the entire border, only God-men can display their own laws, or in other words, they were chosen as God-men because of the possibility of creating laws.

Lani's Dark Moon.

Michaela's pure gold.

And Marlenia’s crimson corruption.

That's right, the corruption in Marlenia's body is actually a prototype of a law. The correct name should be "The Corruption and Reincarnation Law of the Red Goddess of Corruption".

But she gave up on her own.

(The Dead Prince, the Golden Mask, etc. all belong to the restoration of the original Golden Law. Only the three gods created new ones out of thin air)
Of course, accepting epilepsy is also an option.

But destroying everything and returning everything to chaos, what's the point of becoming a king.

Questions about the law were difficult for my uncle. He already had a dark face, but now it was even darker. He was pacing up and down the platform at the foot of the tree irritably.

However, Li Ang didn't think it was enough, so he added more fire.

"If you want to become the new king, you have to defeat the previous king. So, uncle, are you ready to fight with your old father?"

Latarn stopped and sighed helplessly. His whole body instantly became much older.

"The matter of becoming a king needs to be considered in the long run. I may have to go back to Galid first."

Li Ang thought, would he give up now?
He has not yet revealed that Radagon is Malika and both of them will die if he wants to become the king.

I say this not to persuade my uncle to leave, but to give him a warning in advance, because once he walks in, there will be no chance of regret.

“It’s good to think long term, and it’s never too late to come back when you’re ready.”

Li Ang spoke to comfort his decadent uncle.

At this time, Marlenia asked: "I plan to go back to the Holy Tree later. Do you want to go back with me?"

She had invited Li Ang for the second time, but she got the same answer.

"I'm afraid not. I want to walk around the border area these days, and then I have to go on a long trip."

Although the man's tone was calm, Marlenia was keenly aware of the abnormality:
"Where are you going? Are you looking for Lani? Will we have a chance to meet again in the future? Where can I find you?"

A barrage of questions was thrown out one after another, which to a certain extent represented her current mood.Latarn also reacted at this time: "You want to leave the junction!?"

Li Ang smiled and said: "Everything is almost done, it's time to go home."

"But don't worry, you can still meet if you want to meet in the future."

Just as he was about to explain a few more words, a loud eagle cry sounded from the horizon in the distance.

Bayek is back, with a man riding on his back.

When Li Ang saw clearly who was above him, he immediately turned around and ran towards the queen's boudoir.

"If anyone asks you later, just say you haven't seen me!"

The voice still echoed on the platform, but the person had disappeared.

Malenia and Latarn were left confused.

Not long after, Bayek approached the platform, and before landing, the people on top jumped down.

"Where's Li Ang?"

The menacing look made Latarn frown: "Who are you? How dare you come to trouble him!"

My uncle was about to draw the knife when Marlenia stopped him.

"It turns out to be Xiaomei. Long time no see. Do you have anything to do with him?"

"It's a shame he's not with us."

Melina, holding the mission dagger in her hand, glanced at the Valkyrie expressionlessly, then turned into a point of light and disappeared.

After she left, Malenia quickly asked Bayek: "What happened? Did they quarrel?"

The eldest brother thought about it for a long time and said, "Maybe it's more serious than a quarrel."

"Then you brought her here!" Marlenia couldn't help complaining, and then took steps to pursue Li Ang in the direction where he disappeared.

Bayek looked innocent, there was nothing he could do!
On the other side, Li Ang ran into the boudoir and thought about where to hide. Unexpectedly, a large number of light spots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and gradually gathered into Melina's appearance.

He sneered and said, "What a coincidence. How have you been lately? Did you eat for lunch? I haven't eaten yet."

"I'm going back to eat first, see you later."

Seeing that the man was about to run away again, Melina disappeared from the place in an instant, blocking his way.

"Have you forgotten that we can't be separated? I can find you no matter where you are."

Li Ang secretly criticized the teacher for not doing things well, and he must teach her a lesson next time.

There was a flattering smile on her face: "Xiaomei, I'm sorry that you have to travel so far."

"You should indeed apologize." Melina's dagger ignited with golden flames: "But not because of this!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised the knife and stabbed it.

You can hide, but you don't have to.

Sure enough, at the last moment, Melina deflected the blade, passed by Li Ang, and then kicked him hard on the butt.

"Now we're clear."

Li Ang guessed that Xiaomei would not really take action, but he did not expect to let him go so easily.

So he asked in a sultry voice: "If you feel dissatisfied, why don't you kick me again?"

"Get out!" Melina was so angry that her chest kept heaving.

Only the man in front of her in the world could make a girl like her have such strong emotional fluctuations.

"Okay!" Li Ang bent down, pretending to roll away.

Seeing how cooperative he was, Melina almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but then she thought that she was angry and could never give him a good look.

"return!"

In fact, on the way here, Melina thought a lot about her mission, Li Ang, and the relationship between the two of them.

Judging from the current results, Li Ang probably knew that she would sacrifice herself to light the golden tree.

But he did not stop it directly, but found a way to complete the mission on his behalf.

Of course I'm angry.

Just like what she said to Se Lian before: This is trampling on her heart and denying the meaning of her existence.

But she asked herself that she couldn't really resent and hate Li Ang.

After all, this man who usually laughs and laughs and always secretly takes advantage of her has gone to such an extent, how can she be hated by others.

Melina is a very reasonable person!
"Tell me the whole story, tell me everything."

The rebellious Li Ang did not listen to Xiao Mumu and asked instead: "After the tree burned, did you feel any changes in your body?"

Melina knew that he was caring about her, so she forgave him for his rebellious behavior and replied: "Basically not, but I seem to be able to move around freely, not only in the royal city, but also in other places."

Li Ang showed an expression of disappointment or relief: "It's good that you are fine."

Melina always felt that he had bad intentions, and just as she was about to teach him a lesson, Melina suddenly broke into the boudoir.

"Li, have you reconciled?"

Melina said without hesitation: "No, things are not going well between me and him."

"Ah?" Marlenia's face showed just the right amount of confusion.

Li Ang quickly came out and changed the subject: "You are here just in time. Let's finish what we just said."

"Xiaomei, take her to the Great Blessing."

"The great blessing is not from you." Melina stopped mid-sentence and changed her words: "Okay."

Then, she took Marlenia’s hand and led her into the round table hall.

Today's Great Blessing, the fading figure has long been invisible, and it seems a bit empty, with only the faint sound of hammering ringing in my ears.

Looking at the unfamiliar sight in front of her, Marlenia asked in confusion: "Is this...?"

Li Ang jumped onto the round table in the middle of the hall and opened his arms: "Welcome to my territory. If you want to see me in the future, you can come here to find me."

Marlenia still didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Li Ang smiled and explained: "This place, like Famu Yazra, is in the rift of time and space. It once belonged to the messenger of the Supreme Will, but was later transferred to me."

Melina next to her had a look of disdain on her face.

What a transfer, it’s clearly a hard grab!
Marlenia said in surprise: "Supreme Will! Two fingers! Why are you related to them!"

"Don't worry about it." Li Ang sat on the edge of the table contentedly: "There will definitely be no future trouble. It belongs to me completely now."

Putting aside the merging black light and blood, the Great Blessing was the biggest gain of his trip.

Things have to start a long time ago.

After helping Lani kill Second Finger that day, Li Ang, who originally planned to leave, returned to the cave where Second Finger was hiding.

He was very curious as to what was going on in Erzhi's mind.

If it has brains.

So the old rules are to assimilate and devour.
