On the Seven Towers

The king actually performs such evil-looking magic in his own capital? But this makes a lot of questions clear. No wonder they can mobilize the most elite White Eagle Squadron of the City Guards. No wonder they can hide the truth in the center of the city without anyone noticing. If it was the king's secret instruction, it would be easy to explain.

What Xiao Chen didn't understand was the king's integrity. He can actually use his people as materials for casting spells and extract their life energy at will, without caring about their life or death.

"Demian." The king spoke with great enthusiasm, "I am sure once again that this magic will not harm the lives of so many people, right? After all, these people are my people."

"It's rare that the king still has a little bit of conscience." Xiao Chen said to Luo Ling.

"You actually call this conscience? No normal person would do something so bottomless." Luo Ling's voice sounded angry, "No matter what they plan to do later, I will not let them Succeeded."

"Listen to what they say first." Xiao Chen himself had the urge to take out a scroll and smash it at it. However, with their current roles, their responsibility to fight for the best interests of the school has exceeded their personal likes and dislikes, so they just Can suppress the anger in one's heart.

Just listen to that Demian say: "Your Majesty, you are really a benevolent monarch. After all, I am also a native of the royal capital. I definitely don't want to cause great losses to my hometown. You see, these people are now wasting away singing and dancing. The energy is enough to complete this spell. Even if we don’t use it to cast the spell, they will not remain, so any worries are unnecessary.”

"Yeah. That's good. Anyway, these mediocre guys maintain the operation of the royal capital. Just like a person who has to eat, drink and poop, I don't want no one to wipe the city's ass tomorrow morning. Haha. The king laughed, "Don't use soft words like mercy on me. I'm just worried that some parts won't fall off my chariot, which will affect my ability to charge into battle."

"After this magic circle is activated, it will intensify the release of energy. There are always some weak and sick guys who can't bear the loss of life, but I don't think this is a bad thing, just like only the strongest wolf cubs can survive in the wasteland. , Human beings should only retain the strongest and strongest individuals. Those weak ones will not only waste energy, but also affect the quality of the next generation. I can guarantee that if there is such elimination from time to time, your people will be the strongest in all countries. ” said Demian.

"I once heard your mentor, Master Almeida, say that everyone should be strong, but her views are not the same as yours." The king's tone was mocking.

"My inspiration comes from my teacher, but her method of strengthening people's talents through rich nutrition and magical treatment is just empty talk that is difficult to achieve. No matter how high she is, she is just an overly compassionate person. Women can’t see the picture of governing a country. No country can afford such a cost. Instead of using resources to change the quality of the weak, it is more in line with nature to eliminate them and make the strong stronger.”

"Humph, don't talk to me about the way of nature. I only like to talk about the way of the king. It is the most normal principle for a minister to dedicate himself to the Lord, and life is just one of them. You know, as a king, you have to do The sacrifices made are much more than lives." At this point, the king's voice became rare and low, "All this I did was not for myself, but to truly protect our neighbors in the north and us. The war ceased, but privately the sharpening action never stopped. The nobles in the country, Arias, Nolasco and Siqueiros are all very ambitious. Do you think I don't know about their little tricks? And the southerners are all greedy wolves... If I fall, this country will surely fall into war again, and it will be a war that will destroy the country more terrifyingly than the previous years of war! How many of these people can survive?"

"Your Majesty, there will always be someone who understands your painstaking efforts."

"Understand? That is something only the weak need. How is the situation now?" The king sneered.

Demian said: "Your Majesty, today's energy collection was very successful, exceeding my original expectations. As long as this magic is successful, your illness will be cured, and the remaining life energy will be enough to add about ten years to your life."

"Ten years? It's already much better than I expected."

"There are no big limitations to using this approach, and we can continue to do it years from now."

At this time, a guard ran in from outside and whispered in the king's ear for a while.

"We have to speed up. Venegas can't stop everyone, and some non-stop guys have sneaked over. Sokas, I only need to leave two guards here, and everyone else will go up. Stop those nasty guys from me. If those guys discover the secret here, they will definitely cause trouble for us. There are many people in the kingdom who want me to die soon."

A soldier standing behind him solemnly accepted the order and left the hall with the surrounding soldiers.

Apart from Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, there were only four people left in the room.

"Sure enough, it's similar to what I guessed. It's a life-extending magic." Xiao Chen said.

"Have you thought about how to ruin the situation?" Luo Ling asked coldly.

"Well... I'm thinking about a question. If the king dies, what will happen? Will it really push the kingdom into a more chaotic state as he said?" Xiao Chen hesitated.

"Don't think about such meaningless things." Luo Ling said disdainfully.

"How can it be meaningless?" Xiao Chen asked back.

"Do you have enough IQ?"

"Hey? You're slandering people when you don't agree with them."

"Can you judge what the world will be like in ten years?"

"No."

"Five years? Three years? Half a year?"

Xiao Chen gave negative answers, "I'm not Master Ikasa of the Spirit Eye Tower. I don't know what will happen in half a month if you ask me."

"So it's unreliable for you, me, or the king to make judgments based on the so-called long-term vision. There are too many accidents. What if he dies directly on the experimental table? What if the magic gets out of control and this place becomes a zombie city? Besides, if the king doesn't die, will Arias not rebel? Will the empire not invade?

In most cases, we can only look at slightly distant goals and take one step at a time. If we don't have the courage to deal with things in front of us according to our own values, what qualifications do we have to expect more distant goals? This is not a five-year plan. Do you still need to do research?"
