I have a date with an NPC

I walked into this dimly lit room, all the windows were closed with curtains, and a few swaying torches were lit in the middle of the room, with a little light shining on the exquisite copper stove that exudes a faint fragrance There was a strange light, the shaking torches and the reflected light made the whole room look very weird, as if in an illusory world.

My heart is still a little nervous. After all, the king city, the main city, is not yet open, but I saw the ruler of a country here.

The middle-aged king who I imagined was in his prime, ambitious and loud, did not appear. Instead, a hoarse and tired voice came from this strange light: "Please sit down, my lord!" count!"

Surprised, I took a few steps towards the direction of the sound, and saw a man wearing a crown and a dark cloud-pattern brocade robe sitting straight behind a large solid wood desk.

Rather, all I saw was a face with a metal mask.

He is the king?

I couldn't be more surprised!

There were still two people standing behind the man wearing the metal mask, one was dressed as a clerk in civilian clothes, the other was wearing a golden armor, motionless, if he hadn't shouted: "You are not polite when you see His Majesty the King?" I thought he was just a decorative knight's armor.

I panicked a little, but I still couldn't accept it: Is this man the king?

This is too different from what I imagined the king would look like.In my imagination, the king is either old and bearded, or he is strong and ambitious, and it is time to show off his ambitions, but this...

Our Majesty the King seemed to be seriously ill, coughed twice, raised his hand to stop the golden knight from further questioning, and said with a sigh of relief: "Count of Thunder, Carmen 03! "

I hesitated for a moment, not knowing what I should do at this time, although I have the title, but I have been deprived of it by the city lord Fatty before, and I am still wanted, and the person in front of me is Looking for the biggest boss of the party?

How should I meet him?

At that moment I was really confused.

"Sorry, I'm no longer the Earl of Thunder!" I hesitated and said, "I'm just a wanted criminal now!" This identity made me quite embarrassed.

His Majesty the King gave a soft "Oh" and said, "Is that so? I haven't received the dismissal letter from Prince Morey, and I may still be on my way! You, come here!"

I then took two steps forward and walked to the front of the desk.

"Tell me, are you willing to continue working for me?" The king asked calmly, and at the same time I could feel the weakness in his tone. "It's okay! Even if you say you don't want to, I won't make things difficult for you!"

I secretly cried out in my heart: I'll wipe it, even if I'm tired of working, I can't say I don't want to!

However, I really don't want to say something insincere against my conscience.

So I said very tangled: "It's not that I don't want to, but I want to know what His Majesty's purpose is? Is it worth fighting for!"

I dare say that if this happened in ancient times or if I encountered a feudal monarchy with a more serious ideology, I would die a miserable death.

So when I said this, I had already made mental preparations in my heart, and I was going to face the next wave of anger or bear the consequences.

This makes me feel that I am actually very similar to Crazy Joe in some respects, such as the current very bachelor way of doing things: they are all wanted anyway, and this last stroke is not bad.

The golden knight behind the king frowned slightly, and put his hands on the hilt of his sword. It is estimated that such remarks sounded unbelievably bold to him.

But the king stood up very calmly. I saw that he was not only wearing a mask, but also wearing gloves on his hands, as if he wanted to wrap himself tightly and completely.

When he propped his hands on the table, the knight behind him immediately stepped forward to help him, and His Majesty the King raised his hand.

The golden knight stopped in his tracks.

His Majesty the King stood up panting slightly, and stood behind the table with his hands propped up. The expressionless mask faced me. From the depths of the two eyes on the mask, I seemed to see There was a very firm look in his eyes.

"...I won a battle when I was 16 years old. At that time, I thought I would live a hundred years! But now, I know that I will not live to be 30 years old. No one can decide my own life or death! King order, or not Violation; father's order, or irreversible! However, under the power of the king, before the overlord, people must ask their own conscience! When facing the judgment of conscience, it cannot be said that it was forced to helplessness, or that it was expedient at the time The trick..."

As he spoke, he looked at me steadily.

Then he smiled lightly and asked, "Have you ever regretted your current situation?"

Well, although I would complain about this kind of thing in my heart, I really never thought about what would happen if I made another choice.

Perhaps, even if time goes back and I have a chance to choose again, I might still do it.

Because this is a choice that follows my heart!

Although this road is very difficult and full of thorns, this is the choice deep in my heart.

I shook my head lightly, and replied firmly: "No!"

His Majesty the King walked in front of me holding the table. I could see that although he said he was only 45 years old, his body was quite thin and weak, which should be the result of a serious illness.

"Some people say that my kingdom is too arrogant. This is a punishment from the gods. But you Qin people say that this is not enough. If I go to hell, I will be punished even more painfully. If it is If not, I will think it is very unfair!" His Majesty the King said very weakly.

I couldn't for a moment how to respond to this weak-looking king.

He pointed to a small table in front of the desk, on which was a chessboard, Go.

"sit!"

After sitting down, he moved his body to find a more comfortable position and then continued: "I have been trying to ease the conflicts between the two races! We live on the same piece of land... I asked myself , I have done enough! However, there are always some unsatisfactory things! Just like this chess game..."

I looked at the chess game, and suddenly trembled all over: I seem to have seen it somewhere!
