Hellish Affairs

Chapter 128 The Ideal King

Sitting on the throne, Joyas slowly opened his eyes.

"Wang, how is your rest?" Urnam asked quickly.

Joyas rubbed his Jingming acupoint, and then asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Not long, just an hour." Ulnam said quickly, and then Ainzley quickly moved a pile of documents and said, "You still have work to deal with, King Joyas!"

Joyas looked at the pile of clay tablets and fell silent.

"Wang, what's the matter with you? After processing these documents, you still have to inspect the city of Ur!"

"Yes, I heard that King Gilgamesh next door just came back from Kuza City today, we can't lose!"

"Hurry up, Wang, hurry up!"

Joyas frowned and said, "What are these things?"

"Whether the patent office can't decide whether it's a useful invention, the test questions of the imperial examination, and the cases that the court can't judge, the funding for the establishment of the Daitian Law." Ainzli explained: "These all require your wisdom."

"King Gilgamesh next door is much busier than you. He doesn't have a court and a patent office."

Ainzli sneered even more, and said, "There is not even a neighborhood committee, and the water leaks in the house have to be dealt with by the king! How can such a trivial matter bother the king's wisdom?"

Joyas: "..." Actually, I don't know...Gilgamesh is too strong, can he even repair a leaky house?

Ah, is this God's trick?Let me and Gilgamesh live in each other's shadow at the same time?

Originally, he wasn't that busy, but as the area under his rule expanded four or five times, the population he led surged to [-].

Alas, the cabinet has not yet been established, and his knights of the round table are still being formed, so it is normal to be busy now.

The main reason why Gilgamesh was able to die from overwork was his ability to work. He was indeed omniscient and omnipotent.

All Joyas can do is lead, and lead carefully.

What he was worried about was not these, but that his confidants were really limited, and he suddenly realized that he was an extremely suspicious person, and everyone except Ur-Namu had to be more courageous.

Are all kings suspicious?

Gilgamesh has all kinds of treasures and clairvoyance. It is really difficult to say that he can win [-]% of the time. Looking at the pair of documents, he is not afraid, but has a new idea.

He raised his hand and touched a blue ribbon tied to his shoulder, and wrote and drew on the ribbon with the pen of this era, and at the same time said to his most trusted subordinate:

"Urnam, I may have to sleep a little longer."

***

Joyas didn't know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes, he saw beautiful things.

—Flowers and crystal blue sky.

"Joyas, although I expected to come to me, it took a long time. Can you do it?"

Merlin appeared among the pink flowers with a slight bluish tint, and the words that made Joyas goosebumps appeared when he opened his mouth——

"You are really annoying," Joyas said, "I regret it, let me out quickly."

"Thanks for the compliment." Merlin said cheekily, "It's impossible to let you out. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Merlin saluted him lightly, and said, "Do you have any confusion about me? Any confusion can be relieved by the Magician of Flowers!"

Joyas glanced at him, but decided to get straight to the point and talk about something serious——

"Merlin, I want you to help me. Although you are really useless, you do have some skills in magic and seeing through the world." Joyas said seriously: "I am the king in Uruk now— "

Joyas showed a bright smile, stretched out his hand, and said to Merlin, "Well, Merlin, come to be my subordinate!"

Merlin froze for a moment, looked at Joyas blankly, and said, "...you are already the king, it seems that I missed a lot of things."

"You didn't miss anything, you just became the king in a muddleheaded way, but at present, apart from working harder, it is still good for your main purpose."

"why?"

"what?"

"Why did you choose me?" Merlin pondered seriously, and asked, "...Could it be that you only found out about my goodness after you left?"

Not at all. If you think too much, you are actually asked to work overtime.

"Are you the Crown Magician, Merlin?" Joyas asked solemnly.

"I am Brother Merlin who is crowned Caster. A magician among magicians! But, in fact, I am only qualified for the crown, and the spirit foundation is still ordinary."

"Isn't it good to understand this way? Merlin, you can always help me."

"Your recruitment method really makes me dislike it." Merlin pretended to be painful——

"Am I already a tool man? ... This is so sad, I thought we were already friends!"

Joyas sighed softly, then walked to a stone, propped it up with his hands casually, and went straight onto the stone. He looked down at Merlin——

"Merlin, we are indeed friends, that's why I came here to find you."

Merlin sighed while lowering his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "I really can't do anything with you, I will help you, and you can send me as you like."

Joyas smiled, "Thank you, Merlin."

"Don't underestimate me, I'm pretty good at cultivating heroes and kings." Merlin said confidently.

"That's it." Joyas recalled Artoria, and Merlin was the only work of Party B. "I want to ask you, what is an ideal king?"

Merlin glanced at Joyas, showing a chilling expression of "Your brother Merlin can answer any question", and said——

"The so-called ideal king is actually the embodiment of wisdom and responsibility."

After Joyas heard this, he recalled the two kings he knew that everyone liked very much, Artoria and the wise king Gilgamesh.

"The so-called wisdom is the knowledge stored in the brain. If you have enough knowledge, you can make a decisive decision. The so-called responsibility is the shoulders that bear all things. The desires of the people, the pain of the people, and the joy of the people must be borne by the king."

"That's it..." Joyas whispered, because he was sitting on a high place, he could see enough flowers in front of him.

He stood up, on top of a tall stone, he looked sideways at a rather unreasonable sunflower in the distance——

Countless petals were blown down and fluttered around him, dancing with his golden hair.

"Joyas..." Merlin looked at Joyas' profile and said slowly, "You will become an ideal king."

"You're wrong, Merlin."

Chapter 129 Please order me with peace of mind, my king

Merlin's familiar and imaginative voice pierced into the ears of Joyas Pendragon. Joas chuckled lightly and said, "—You are wrong, Merlin."

"In this world, there will be no ideal king, let alone an ideal country—any country, any nation, any king will disappear, and only things that exist are ideal and reasonable."

"I don't want to be an ideal king at all, I just want to do one thing." Joyas turned his head, looked at Merlin's surprised eyes, and said loudly, "Existence."

"The kingly way you said is really good, but you only recognize the kingly way that can be practiced and survived." Joyas shrugged and said:

"I don't want to pursue any ideal king at all, because those things will disappear in an instant. All I need to do is to let him explode more brilliant fireworks when he exists."

"Merlin, isn't this the so-called beauty you want?" Joyas said to Merlin with a smile, "Isn't the human being you're after and my HAPPY END all like this? A happy ending doesn't even last as long as a tragedy. .”

Merlin froze for a moment, his blue eyes reflected Long Zi's appearance——

Did this guy exist with such an idea from the beginning? ... Ragnarok, everything has an end.

"...Then, what are you pursuing?" Merlin said tremblingly, "You know this, don't you? Everything has an end..."

"That's why I said, people are for the sake of the individual, and the son of man became king for the same reason. There is not so much wisdom and wisdom, responsibility and responsibility, ideals and ideals? Everyone is the same."

"If there is any equality in this world, it is that everything has an end."

"Cherish the people around you, don't be confused by the excitement brought by the battle, don't be entangled by glory, don't pursue things behind you, don't long for treasure, don't enjoy the world's beliefs, only act for your own purpose, and the purpose will not causing trouble for others..."

"The reason why I maintain this way of life is because I have long accepted the end of everything."

Merlin frowned and fell into thinking. After a long time, he finally asked in disbelief: "If I had known this ending a long time ago... Whether it is a weak human being or a powerful god, their ending will lead to nothingness. meaningful ending."

"Then why do you want to change, change Britain, and fight against Asgard?"

Joyas looked at Merlin who was eager to get the answer, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha——"

"What's so funny?" Mei Lin asked with a sullen face. He felt that he had been teased. In his long life, he had always teased others, and no one had ever teased himself like this.

He thought he had seen through it a long time ago, Joyas Pendragon, but the answer told him, something deeper, this person is not normal at all!

"... Isn't this beautiful?"

"what?"

"Merlin, isn't this beautiful?" Joyas shrugged.

Turning around again, Merlin fell silent...

"Anything that exists is reasonable and right, even beautiful."

Merlin listened to his words, thinking hard for a long time, he felt a little wronged in his heart——

Merlin, the well-known court magician in Britain, is now being played around by others. This matter is a bit uncomfortable, but the object is Joyas, a person he admires very much and wants to understand.

So he began to think, and the final result was——

"After talking for a long time, you just want me to be your subordinate and help you do the work, right?" Merlin asked, crossing his chest, "After talking for a long time, you still have to tell that everything that exists in Uruk is beautiful, call me to admire?"

Joyas looked at Merlin talking with a dark face, couldn't help but gasped, and turned pale with shock, "Merlin! You really are so terrifying!...You can even see that I'm fooling you?"

"Stop doing this." Merlin rolled his eyes, knowing that he was joking, and deliberately teased him.

Joyas showed a bright smile, "That can't be done."

So he reached out again—

"Come be my subordinate! I'm really not good at magic, and I worry about many things, so I have to ask you for help, my friend."

The petals were entangled with his hand, and seeing his bright smile along the way, Merlin looked away, deliberately showing a reluctant expression——
