A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Even on the Twirl Hill, it was still lively, even as it was late at night, just like the day. The dim light of dozens of oil lamps illuminates the gully that has begun to form. The people living in Twirlor City are still digging diligently, rotating again and again, no matter how much the digger has changed, the trench The excavation never stopped.

No one complained. Everyone knew that now they were fighting for time with torrents. They had to race against time. If they were one step slower, their own home was destroyed.

The people in the city of Twiluer have also been evacuated and can only sleep in the wild tonight. Many people are looking at the mountain in the night, praying to the gods of Aaron Landis, and looking forward to the good news. Come quickly so they can return to their warm home quickly.

The area where the gully was dug was full of voices, and farther away from it, on a flat ground that bypassed a small hill, Gallan sat on the ground, and Shuluos was lying on his back with his arms and legs stretched out on his back. Both of them looked exhausted.

Garland felt sore all over his body.

And Shulos, who was always talkative, lay down weakly and didn't even want to say anything.

Garland shook his head as he heard the voice of people looming across the hill.

"As a result, I'm far worse than those people."

He thought he had practiced martial arts anyway, and his physical strength should not be worse there.

Unexpectedly, digging pits is worse than civilians who have never practiced martial arts at all, and even less efficient than them.

"They are more skilled at this kind of thing, and they are used to working from morning till night."

Shulos answered.

"Without hard work, it will be difficult for a family to live."

Gallan looked at the sky in a daze, and then he fell backwards, lying on the ground like Shulos, the star shining on his face.

"Shuluos, you said that you have been on the mainland for a long time, and you have seen a lot of things. Then, what you see, whether it is being wronged, being bullied, or those people who can’t live in poverty, Are these things common in Aaron Landis?"

"Yes, everywhere."

Garland sighed softly.

Class is clear, this is the rule of this world.

No one can break easily.

No one is exception, so is he. He used to think too simple, because he has enjoyed privileges for so many years, so he took it for granted, and forgot the hardship of ordinary people.

Shulos looked at the night sky as if in a daze, but his eyes seemed to have a lot of things surging at this moment.

His eyes were struggling.

It was a long time before he made up his mind to speak.

"I think King Camos is not a competent king."

Garland turned his head and looked at Shulos in amazement.

For a long time, King Camos in Aaron Landis was an admiration for everyone, and everyone regarded him as a god.

Even those turbulent people were awe-inspiring.

For the first time he heard dissatisfaction with King Camos from other populations, which surprised him and was a little unpleasant in his heart.

After all, it was his prince who loved him so much.

He doesn't like to hear people say that King Camos is bad.

"I don’t say this to defame King Camos. On the contrary, I also think that he is a great king and a powerful and respectable king. In the war that year, he was the one to save After Aaron Landis, all Aaron Landis people respect him... I am no exception."

Shu Luosi looked at the countless broken stars in the sky, he murmured.

"Maybe I asked too much, but, Gal, I think this is not enough. As a king, he hasn't done enough."

"He is the king of Aaron Landis, the king of the nobles, but also the king of us civilians, but he rarely listens to our voices and cares about our thoughts."

"Gal, maybe what I said next is weird and ridiculous, maybe it will make you angry, but I really want to say it, to you."

Having traveled to the mainland for so long, and seeing too many things, this kind of thought has always been in his heart.

He never dared to say it because he knew that it would only be regarded as a lunatic by others.

"I don't think that should be the case, even if the nobles are indeed noble than the civilians, but we civilians are also the people of Aaron Landis, I... I don't know how to describe it, but... civilians, untouchables, even It’s a slave. Everyone is the same. We and the nobility are actually the same. Why can’t we be treated like humans?"

Garland opened his mouth in amazement, and did not recover for a while.

Half a step ahead is a genius, a step ahead becomes a lunatic.

Although Shulos's idea is still a vague prototype, even he can't understand it, but in the world of slavery, his idea is already shocking.

Shulos said that, he closed his mouth again and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Forget it, you should think that you haven't heard such crazy words, civilians and nobles, I think this is stupid."

He sighed with his hands behind his head.

"Now Aaron Landis seems to be very powerful, but since the first king has been in war for many years, even because of the reputation of King Camos, it is much better now, but the war has never stopped. The nobles may not care , But civilians, especially those who are poor, live very hard."

"Obviously being a civilian can live steadily under the protection of King Camos, I should be grateful, but greedily want more, in addition to being able to live steadily, I want to live better, this idea ...Isn't it too bad?"

"...No, it's not a matter of not knowing what to do, thinking better, it's human nature."

Gallan's answer made Shulos stunned, and he turned his head to look at Gallan.

The teenager didn't look at him, he could only see half of the teenager's side face.

He didn't see lies and perfunctory expressions from that half of his face. For a moment, there was a variety of tastes in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like for a while.

He knew that he had said a lot of things he should not have said.

But I do not know why, perhaps because he will soon go to jail for hijacking the nobility. Now, in this night, in front of this boy, he just wants to say these absurd words.

Gal is a noble after all.

He thought that Gal would be angry. He thought that Gal would scold him for any reason. He thought that Gal would say that he was crazy, and that he would not do anything.

However, none.

As a result, he didn't know what to say.

Shulos took a deep breath, smiled, and forcibly changed the subject.

"Speaking of that, the rumored Prince Garland seems to be very different from King Camos. He seems to be loved by civilians. Huh? Gal, speaking, your name is really Gal. Prince Lan is very similar, ha ha ha."

"I am."

"I told you, enough, don't mess up, I'm talking to you seriously."

"……Oh."

"In addition to him, there is a His Royal Highness, and one day, one of them will become the next King Aaron Landis. Gal, which prince do you think is better?"

The teenager was silent.

He said: "Hyimos, he is more suitable."

"Hahaha, I know you, a noble young master, would say so, think he can fight and protect Aaron Landis, right?"

"..."

"However, as a civilian, I still hope that Prince Garland will inherit the throne."

Shulos said, "Prince Huimus is just another king of Camos, the king of heroes, but the civilians look forward to a benevolent king who can make their lives less difficult."

The teenager lowered his eyes, and said nothing.

"However, if you think about it carefully, even if Prince Garland is very good to everyone, Arunlandis is dangerous if you can’t fight. So ah, I think it would be nice if the two were made into one person. Bravery and good warfare can deter the Quartet, prevent other countries from daring to invade the slightest, and be kind to the people, regardless of the price, fairness and wise treatment of every people."

"The two became a single person? What a great idea you think."

Garlan, who was silent, couldn't help but speak.

"Huh, I also know that this kind of king only exists in fantasy, but don't you let people dream?"

"Then go to bed quickly and dream! Get up tomorrow morning and continue working!"

"I'm protesting! It's only a short time to say yes--"

"The protest is invalid."

…………

The fine noise gradually disappeared in the night, and the two on the top of the mountain went to sleep one after another in exhaustion.

In the city of Twiluer at the foot of the mountain, the people in the city were evacuated to a safe place in the daytime. At this moment, the city was empty.

However, in the middle of this city where no one was supposed to, a dark-haired young man who sneaked into the executive government not long ago stood on the street, looking down at something on his palm.

That's what he just took out of the executive government.

He took his hand, held it tightly in his palm, and then put it close to his body.

Then he unfolded a note.

That was the message that his subordinates sent to him not long ago.

‘...Munister City...’

Heimus glanced quickly, then clung the paper into a ball, raised his hand, and threw it into the river in the city.

He left the horse, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

The parchment soaked in the river water was soaked, and the text on it quickly turned into a smudge and could no longer be seen clearly.

……………………

Throughout the day and night, after the people dug without sleep, they finally dug a channel that connected the piled up pool and the rift on the other side of the hill.

At this moment, there was only a small section beside the mouth of the water pool that had not been dug up, and several specially selected young, strong and agile youths were carefully digging there.

They are also tied with thick ropes, and the other end is firmly tied to a solid rock or tree trunk in the distance to prevent danger.

Just when there was only a thin layer of soil left in the ditches and waterholes, that layer of soil suddenly shook violently, and it was about to be washed down.

The ten or so soldiers who had been concentrating and staring here were swift and hurriedly dragged the young men who were digging underneath the ditch.

When I said it was too late, I only heard a loud noise, the thin soil wall was instantly broken by the current, and a huge amount of water poured into the just-dug ditch, along the ditch to the crack on the other side of the mountain. And go.

The suddenly splashing water was like a huge wave, and the people who were near the ditch were suddenly soaked with water, and they ran back quickly and left far away.

The huge amount of running water that rushed to the rift rushed straight down from the rift, entrained countless gravel, rolled up collapsed trees, roared down from the high mountain, and soon formed on this mountain wall A small mudslide.

The huge roar of mudslides from the middle of the mountain echoed in the mountains, deafening, and the sound of the top of Foshan was shaken by this sound, which made people feel shocked.

But no one was frightened by this, on the contrary, there was a look of joy on everyone's face.

They dug the channel before the clogged waterhole collapsed, and they defended their home.

The crisis in Twiloor City has passed.

Everyone looked at the turbulent running water, and their heart was finally put down, and some people even clenched their hands and knelt on the ground to thank the gods he believed in.

Digging the ditch day and night, everyone is disgraced and looks terribly embarrassed, but the atmosphere of joy is here.

When the water in the accumulated deep pool was almost running, only the thin layer on the rock platform, only the amount of water submerged in the knees, the young people tied with ropes immediately jumped down and moved away Rocks and trees piled up on the mouth of the rock platform, digging up the mud that is stuck in the cracks of the rock.

auzw.com Like an ant nibbling at the wood, they cleaned up the collapsed rock pile little by little.

On the cliff where there is a thin layer of waterfall, I only saw continuous rubble and trees falling down one after another.

I did this for another day and night.

The sun sets and rises again, and when it rises again to the highest point of the sky, there is another bang, the last bit of rubble no longer needs to be cleaned, and it is washed down the cliff directly by the running water.

The majestic waterfall reappeared on Mount Twirl, and the sound of the not-so-great running water became deafening again, and everyone's eardrums buzzed by the waterfall.

Water vapor is splashing.

The bright sunlight shone down, forming a colorful rainbow on the water vapor of the waterfall.

There was a huge cheer from the crowd, and it was so loud that it almost overwhelmed the deafening sound of waterfall water.

Everyone is in mud, as if crawling out of a mud pit, but everyone's smile is brighter than the sun at noon at the moment.

At the same moment, the Lord of Canilles, who also spent two days and two nights on this hill, was finally relieved.

Don't look at his expressionless face, he looks immovable, but he is really nervous.

The first king gave him the city of Twirl, if the city was destroyed in his hands, even if he died, he had no face to see the first king in the underworld.

On the other side, Shulos stood there. When he watched the waterfall reappear, the long-blocked thing in his heart seemed to be washed away at the moment.

Unprecedented in his heart, he raised his lips and smiled.

Just when he was happy, footsteps were heard around him. As soon as he turned around, he saw the middle-aged aides who had always been with the city master approaching him.

"Are you here to catch us? Want to cure us?"

Shu Luosi watched the middle-aged man cautiously, he did not forget the hijacking of the nobility by him and Gallan.

"No, it's just that the Lord of the City asked you to come over, he has something to tell you."

The middle-aged staff said, "That temple... well, what about your companion?"

"Well, over there, it's too dirty to wash."

Looking in the direction Shulos said, he saw Gallan standing on the edge of the waterfall, reaching for the falling water, washing the dust off his face and hands.

The blonde hair that had been stained with dust and dust was washed by the water that splashed on him, and it became wet, but it also shined with a golden luster again.

Shu Luosi and the middle-aged staff stood together, looking at the teenager by the waterfall, waiting for him to wash over.

The bard made a sigh.

"Hey, I ran over to find the unicorn, but the unicorn didn't see it, and had such a big trouble. Goddess Aphrodite, did you abandon your most handsome believer?"

Thinking of these ten days of experience, he couldn't help whispering to himself.

"What? Unicorn?"

His muttering was heard by the middle-aged man next to him, and the staff stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"You heard the story, and heard this fake rumor."

"What? Fake?"

The middle-aged staff smiled.

"Of course it is false. How could there be a unicorn in this world? Even if it does, it will only follow the gods and cannot appear in front of us."

"But I clearly heard... And it has been spread for many years."

"There is an ancient poem in Twirl that has been circulating, and there is such a sentence, [the white sacred beast haunts the sacred Twirl Mountains]. It has been spread by word of mouth, you just ask a city in Twirl Old people, they all know."

The staff shook his head slightly and said to him.

"It's just that in recent years, I don't know that the tourist listened to this poem from the old population and spread it, and the message that was spread changed in the middle, and passed on and on, and it turned into Twirlor Mountain. There are white unicorns, and others have added vinegar to the rumors of distortion, saying that unicorns will appear in front of the most beautiful and pure girls in the world."

"Because of this, many inexplicable people have come over these years just to find the so-called unicorn."

The words of the staff made Shulos stunned.

"Then why don't you explain clearly?"

"Why explain clearly?"

The middle-aged staff smiled meaningfully.

"Because of the rumors of this unicorn, many people came to Twirlor City for this purpose, which made us more prosperous than before."

Shu Luosi: "............"

Ah, it was actually fake. He thought he could really see the legendary unicorn following Gallan, which really disappointed him.

…………

Ok?

Wait, it seems a bit wrong.

If the white unicorn does not exist at all, then the white shadow that Gallan saw that day... what is it?

Moreover, Shu Luosi now recalls, always feel that the white image was deliberately led them to the waterfall...

Clap.

Click, click.

It was a very light sound of treading water.

Once, again.

Gently, step on the ground and splash the water.

The very light stepping on the water seems to be in my ears.

Shu Luosi was startled.

wrong.

Obviously they were beside the big waterfall, and the sound of the water pouring down from the waterfall was deafening, so that even when they stood so close, they had to raise their voices before they could hear them.

But that passed into my ears...

Not only him, but the middle-aged aides around him, as well as the city master Kaneli who was not far away, and everyone at the moment by the waterfall heard the gentle treading sound.

Clap.

Da da.

Like the sound of the four-hoof lightly landing, it was so unreasonable that they rang in their ears. For a moment, it seemed to step into their hearts.

Everyone looked up in unison, looking in the direction of the sound.

In the dense and verdant jungle, a light figure ran from Qixiu's trees.

Its limbs are slender but powerful, and with a light kick, it jumps high.

When it came running lightly, its body exhibited an indescribable and beautiful arc, and even the gesture of jumping on the water was so elegant.

Click, click.

It ran from the forest and jumped on the ground, splashing a few small water splashes as its four hooves stepped on the ground alternately.

It jumped lightly, leaping from the rocks under the water.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the blond teenager by the waterfall.

It was a snowy white deer, like the incarnation of a mountain forest elf.

It has a huge body, almost taller than a teenager, but its posture is more beautiful than anything.

The bright sunlight shone on it, and its fine velvet white hair was smooth like fine velvet.

Its long horns that stand like branches on the head seem to be carved from flawless white jade.

It stood in front of Gallan, his eyes clear as water, and gazed quietly at Gallan.

Then, it bowed its head slightly, and sent the fresh laurel branch in its mouth to the wet hands of the teenager.

The waterfall fell from the cliff and splashed clouds of water vapor.

At the edge of the water splashing down, the blond teenager stood there, and the bright sunlight fell on him.

He looked up at the white deer in front of him.

The golden pupil reflected the shadow of this beautiful white deer.

He raised his hand and touched the snowy velvet with his fingertips.

The white deer stood in front of the teenager, lowered his head, and gently moved closer to the cheek of the teenager.

It's like rubbing with a young boy's ears.

………………

The sound of the water flowing in the waterfall is still ringing.

Besides the sound of water, there was no other sound.

When he saw the beautiful white deer, Lord Kanile took a breath.

At this moment, the old ballad that passed down from the Twirl Mountains flashed in his mind.

Maghe the God of the Earth

The benevolent among the gods.

His body transformed into the earth, carrying all the burden.

His blood turned into two rivers, which gave birth to Aaron Landis.

His flesh and blood turned into wheat fields, feeding all his people.

His skeleton turned into a high mountain.

The sacred Mount Twirl is his spine.

His heart was beating deep in the mountains.

White holy beasts haunted this sacred mountain.

That is his incarnation.

From the top of the mountain overlooking the land of Aaron Landis.

The sacred Mount Twirl, stands above the earth.

Remember the people of Aaron Landis.

The white holy beast.

It will only appear before the Holy King.
