Old days in the box

Chapter 37 The last touch, the final destruction
The king was startled and turned around.

He stared blankly at the open door. The morning light that came in stung his red eyes and made him dizzy.

He was indeed the only one in the room, and both Zhou Xiao outside the screen and the civilians on the screen could see clearly.

But His Majesty the King's face gradually became nervous as he looked at the group of intruders.

"How did you get in? Traitor! Someone is coming! Protect the queen and princess!"

He shouted loudly, and at the same time he put his hands behind his back, protecting his empty back like a hen guarding its chicks.

But there was a fight going on outside the castle, and all the soldiers had rushed to reinforce them. No one was inside the palace at all.

"King, what's wrong with him?"

"It turns out the rumors are true, the king is really crazy!"

"Isn't our queen dead a long time ago? I don't see anyone else here!"

The civilians behind Sharon all whispered.

They had just come to denounce the king with righteous words, but when they came in and saw the king in this state, none of them dared to come forward.

His Majesty the King has delegated power to the War Priests and has been absent from the Royal Council for decades.

Everyone in the kingdom thought that the king, who hid in the castle every day and indulged in sexual activities, regardless of the suffering of the common people, must have become as pampered as a big fat pig.

But who could have imagined that their King would turn into the half-mad and half-mad person in front of him.

"Your Majesty the King...your people have already reached the city walls." Sharon put her hand on her heart and said cautiously.

"This is impossible! The God of War's creation will appear soon, and I will surely win!" The king roared ferociously. He pulled out the sword beside the bed and pointed it staggeringly at the intruders.

"Who told you this?" Sharon asked uneasily.

"The Great Sacrifice Ceremony... This is the only way to save the kingdom!" The king's red eyes widened.

"The Great Sacrifice Ceremony is over, and the War Sanctuary has collapsed."

"ended?"

His Majesty the King was stunned. His red eyes looked like he hadn't slept for three days and three nights. He raised his head and looked behind him again, as if someone was talking to him behind him.

"Even if what she said is true, I still have time to make up for it, don't worry about my favorite!" He murmured to the air, then turned his head to the other side: "Don't worry, I won't let you go." The little pearl suffers.”

The king walked towards Sharon with his sword raised, and put the sword into her hand before anyone could react: "My warrior, this is your time to show your loyalty... If those people attack, you will definitely To take the queen and princess away safely...I know what they are thinking! They will torture us mercilessly..."

Sharon lowered her head and saw the sword thrust into her hand, with the blade lying across the king's own neck.

"Your Majesty the King...I am your subject." Sharon closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look at him.

The other civilians in the room wanted to pounce on him just now, but when they saw His Majesty the King was so crazy, they all fell silent.

"This... is completely hopeless." Outside the screen, Zhou Xiao also looked helpless.

He moved the mouse to click on the king, and his life slowly appeared in front of Zhou Xiao's eyes.

"James, 77 years old, king of the Kingdom of East North."

"When I was young, Beihai went on an expedition to the inland, and as an inland refugee, I went to the capital of the Beihai Empire. I met and fell in love with the then Princess of Beihai, and eventually got married as an exception. However, under the temptation of my former best friend, I split the empire as my wife and tried to lead Their inland compatriots became independent, started a secession war, and eventually established the Kingdom of East Norse.”

"Click to see more information."

From the king's biography, Zhou Xiao finally completed the story version of the Kingdom of Donos.

It also explains why this kingdom is not "Norse" at all from top to bottom.

Because from the beginning this country was led by an inland people and split from the empire of the North Sea people.

But he knew the story wasn't complete yet, so he continued to move the mouse and clicked on more information.

Unexpectedly, what appeared in front of him was not just a 3D image of His Majesty the King.

Although there is a naked king himself in that picture, there is a gentle woman half-floating behind him. She holds his head and covers his eyes with her hands.

"What is shown here is not a three-dimensional image...it is his soul!" Zhou Xiao suddenly understood.

Next to this entangled soul, lines of words continue to emerge.

In the past, the North Sea Empire spanned the east and west continents. The North Sea Empire was unparalleled for a while. They conquered a large number of inland people as slaves and transported them back to the capital of the empire to serve as their labor force.

The young King James was also among them, coming from the warm inland to the cold and windy North Sea coast.

Through his own efforts, he got rid of his status as a slave and became a refugee in the capital. By chance, he met the then Princess of Beihai and fell in love with her. Finally, at the princess's insistence, they were able to get married as an exception.

But he knew very well in his heart that the princess's father, the King of the North Sea, did not like him.

In the eyes of pure Norse people, the inlanders are a symbol of cowardice and powerlessness, and are just slaves conquered by them.If the princess hadn't tried her best to protect him, he wouldn't have been qualified to step into the North's palace.

As everyone laughed and looked down upon him, King James' inner resentment grew day by day.

Despite the fact that the inland people in the North Sea Empire had gradually begun to improve their status due to the appearance of his princess consort, his eyes were already occupied by hatred.

Under the efforts of his close friends, he finally waited for an opportunity, the death of the King of the North Sea.

During the succession ceremony, he objected in the name of his wife, declaring that his wife was the true heir to the empire.

The secession wars that tore the empire apart began, and the oppressed interior people of the empire responded by rebelling from within the towns.

Princess Beihai strongly opposed it, but was imprisoned by him. The war was finally won with the faith brought by his close friends. He led his compatriots to retreat to the Eastern Continent and gained an independent place.

But his beloved wife has passed away.

He started the war with her title, but after the war was won, she was no longer there.

King James can only indulge in the priest's little magic, relying on the afterimage of the dead soul, staying in the dormitory all day long, nostalgic for the illusion that never existed.

More information ends here, all disappearing into nothingness.

Zhou Xiao was a little sad and didn't know what to think, so he just looked back at the window.

Everyone in this story has different identities reflected in the tide of the times, and then intertwined with each other, eventually becoming intricate.

The king was both a downtrodden native and a devoted husband to his wife.

The queen is both a Norse princess and a wife who loves her husband deeply.

Although the King of the North Sea looked down upon his inland son-in-law, he was still willing to make an exception for his daughter.

Is the North Sea Empire, which enslaved the people in the interior, guilty of many evil deeds and deserves this retribution?Or is King Jaime, who betrayed his wife and father-in-law, out of his mind and extremely cunning?Zhou Xiao doesn’t know.

He only knows that no matter how this story develops, it will only be a tragedy in the end.

In the window, Sharon looked around the dormitory and prayed devoutly again.

"Lord God, please help His Majesty the King so that he can escape from this illusory pain!"

This little girl has never actively prayed for anything since she left the mansion. The only two times she prayed were for others instead of herself.

"Okay." Zhou Xiao thought for a while, opened the browser and searched for a picture.

The developing dust in DOTA2 was dragged into the window.

The Dust of Appearance is a one-time item in Dota that can reveal invisible units and slow them down, which is somewhat similar to dispersal.

But the king's situation is obviously not as simple as being invisible, so Zhou Xiao is not sure whether this thing can work.

But the Apparition Dust soon appeared in the king's bedroom, swirling from the ceiling without wind, turning into purple shining powder and falling into the room.

With the disturbance of magic power, two figures actually gradually appeared in the room.

The kind queen and the young princess appeared on both sides behind the king. Both of them were illusory figures, and they were not alive at first glance.

"There really is a queen! Damn it!" The surrounding civilians screamed in fright and backed away one after another.

Only Sharon was still in front of the king, looking at the two emerging figures in disbelief.

"Father, I..." But soon, the beautiful princess screamed.

The purple powder fell on them and quickly began to disintegrate their bodies, burning them to death.

Apparition Dust will also cause damage to invisible units while revealing them.

Although the damage value is small, it is fatal enough to these illusions which are just piled up by small tricks.

"My daughter!" cried the king in panic, and stood up to catch the phantom, but the princess had quickly disappeared.

And the queen raised her hand to his face and touched her lover's face for the last time.

She did not make a sound of pain, but smiled and said to the king: "You must remember to treat your people well, so that your kingdom can last forever."

"my sweetheart……"

The queen quickly disappeared before his eyes and disappeared into the air.

His eyes were finally no longer red, and his crazy mind gradually came to his senses, and he suddenly returned to reality.

Even at the last moment before disappearing, she was still warning her husband to be kind to the people... This queen must be a gentle lady, Zhou Xiao thought to herself.

He sighed in front of the screen, witnessing the final fall of the kingdom.
