We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"The marriage was created to relax King Xin's vigilance..."

Xia En silently chewed the information revealed in An Bing's words.

From a rational perspective, this kind of thing is completely understandable.

As the aboriginal people of the Far North, the [Ice and Snow People] were not as powerful as the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] at the time, but they were definitely a force that should not be underestimated.

Coupled with their natural rejection and hostility towards [Great Yan Country].

It is conceivable that the existence of this family itself is a big hidden danger.

If Yan Yan is a cruel and cruel tyrant, then the best way to solve the problem is undoubtedly only one word -

kill!

Just like a certain country in Xia En's previous life, as long as all the local indigenous people are killed, there will no longer be such hidden dangers.

However, although Yan Yan before amnesia was far more decisive and resolute than he was after amnesia, he was by no means a cruel person.

You can't do things like killing whole families and destroying nine tribes at every turn.

Therefore, marriage is undoubtedly the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.

It can not only ease the relationship between the two parties and avoid unnecessary internal friction, but also use the power of the [Ice and Snow People] in the construction of the [Great Yan Kingdom].

And the [Ice and Snow People] don’t have to worry about being exterminated by King Xin, and they can still have a territory of their own.

From every angle, this is a win-win.

To say that the only "victim" in this incident is probably the woman who married King Xin, the current Princess Dayan - An Bing!

This marriage can be said to be a pure exchange of interests, with no feelings at all.

However, in the face of the rise and fall of a family, personal emotions may be the most insignificant factor, right?

Thinking of this, Xia En looked at An Bing with a little more sympathy.

It is probably for this reason that King Xin's attitude towards An Bing seems so weird.

If King Xin doesn't pay attention to An Bing, he won't send his capable men to wake her up.

But if you really value An Bing, why doesn't King Xin personally come to wake her up from the [Eternal Coffin]?

——This gave Xia En the feeling that... King Xin didn't want to face An Bing in person.

Or is he hiding from An Bing?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia En had new doubts.

What does this marriage have to do with the origin of [The Moment of Time]?

Noticing the gazes of Xia En and Joey, An Bing smiled: "Please don't look at me with that look."

"In fact, after becoming Princess Dayan, my life is not sad, and I don't need to be pitied."

"Xin... is a king, and he is also a responsible man. He has always been very good to me."

"He would take me for a walk in the ice and snow, take me to see the city under construction, and see those busy and energetic people."

"I saw many sights I had never seen before, and ate all kinds of novel foods brought by those people... This was the first experience in my life for me."

When talking about these past events, An Bing's tone was unconsciously brisk.

Obviously, this is also a beautiful memory worth remembering for her.

"Such a peaceful and beautiful life lasted for several years, and [Great Yan Country] became more and more prosperous in the process."

"Honestly, I had a real crush on him."

"I also thought about how great it would be if time could stay in those years..."

Then, An Bing changed the subject and said.

"It's just... suddenly one day, when Xin came back from the outside world, his face was solemn as never before."

"I asked him what happened, but he just shook his head and said nothing."

"And from that day on, the salary changed."

"He started to become a little irritable, a little lost his temper, and became busier and busier, as if something was chasing him behind him."

"At the same time, Xin began to prepare various plans, such as shelters, such as the hoarding and collection of certain supplies..."

Upon hearing this, Shane and Joey's expressions suddenly changed.

Obviously, during this period, King Xin learned about the arrival of the "World-Destroying Flood" and made various preparations.

Doesn't this oppressive feeling of disaster feel like someone is chasing him behind him?

An Bing nodded: "Yes, I only found out later."

"He is using all possible means to fight against the disaster that is sweeping the world."

"At that time, because he was getting busier and busier, I had less and less time to meet with him, and we gradually became a little unfamiliar."

"Although I have some resentment in my heart, I can probably guess that he is doing something extremely important, and I don't have too much resentment about it."

"It's just that occasionally... I still get a little lonely."

Xia En looked a little strange.

Judging from An Bing's words, although her relationship with King Xin had some twists and turns, it didn't seem to have reached the point of a real breakup or turning against each other.

It's just a small friction in the couple's life.

Even An Bing can be considered a reasonable type among women.

So, what happened that caused their relationship to change, so that An Bing showed such a resentful look when he heard Wang Xin's name after waking up?

No need for Xia En to ask, An Bing quickly told the whole story.

"The cause of the incident was this pocket watch called [Momentary Time]."

"Captain Shane, you should already know that this pocket watch has the ability to temporarily stop time and space, right?"

Shane nodded: "Yes."

Since An Bing could call out the name of [Moment of Time], and it was her mother's relic, she must know its function.

Shane didn't need to hide this point.

However, from this sentence, Shane also heard another message -

An Bing didn't seem to know that [Moment of Time] could achieve such a thing as traveling through time and space?

"Although there are significant side effects, and the stagnation time is extremely short."

"But the ability of [Moment of Time] can also be called extraordinary, and can play a decisive role in the critical moment of the battle."

An Bing said with a little pride: "This relic is exactly what our family created."

"The power of [Freeze] is engraved on the pocket watch in a special way."

"This is the effect of freezing even time and space."

"Similarly, this is also the certificate of each patriarch of our family, which is equivalent to the 'crown' and 'scepter', and symbolizes the existence of orthodoxy and authority."

"After obtaining [Moment of Time], each patriarch needs to input his own understanding of the [Freeze] law into it, so that its effect can be continuously enhanced."

"...You may not believe it when I say it, but at that time, I also introduced [Moment of Time] to Xin in this way."

An Bing paused and said with a little sadness.

"If only I hadn't mentioned this to him at that time."

Joey asked softly, "What happened at that time?"

An Bing slowly said, "As time went by, Xin's impatience not only did not disappear, but became stronger."

"In front of other subordinates and people, Xin can often hide his emotions well and appear calm and composed."

"It is precisely because of this performance that the people of [Da Yan Kingdom], although they are very confused about what he wants to do, still obey his orders as usual and follow him behind."

"Some of the original opposition voices were also drowned out by public opinion."

An Bing smiled half self-deprecatingly and half sadly.

"However... as Xin's bedside man, I can still occasionally see Xin's true side, so I can see his increasingly impatient mood."

Xia En listened to these words in silence.

He seemed to be able to empathize with the pressure that King Xin was under.

Knowing in advance such a disaster that could destroy the world, I am afraid that anyone would feel an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

Moreover, the situation of the Fire King is different from that of ordinary people.

Those who have no ability may give up resistance directly when they know that the end of the world is coming, and choose to indulge themselves in the last moments and enjoy themselves.

But the Fire King chose the most difficult path -

to confront such a disaster head-on!

Try his best to save the world!

He not only wants to save more people in the disaster and leave the fire of civilization for future generations, but also wants to stop the flood from the source.

And this is essentially a confrontation with the strange and mysterious [Immortal].

With a human body, facing the gods directly!

The last person who did this was Augustine, who was called the "King of Pirates"!

Shane certainly will not forget the desolate and gloomy look of Augustine in the promotion ritual.

After failing to challenge [Immortal], Augustine suffered an extremely heavy blow and almost collapsed.

The pressure on the Fire King may be even greater than that of Augustine.

After all, Augustine was only facing the loss of his fleet and the disintegration of the [Pirate Principality].

But the Fire King was responsible for the survival of the entire world!

In order to prevent his subordinates and citizens from panicking, the Fire King could not tell others about this secret, so he could only bury it in his heart and bear it alone.

Over time, even with the willpower of the Fire King, he might not be able to bear it.

And An Bing's words proved Shane's guess.

"One day, the pressure he had accumulated seemed to have reached its limit, and he muttered to himself-"

"[There is not enough time, we will not be able to catch up if we continue like this, if there is a spell that can freeze time and space...]"

"It was because of this that I told him about the existence of [Moment of Time]."

"After knowing this, Xin immediately asked me to take him to the family to see the effect of [Moment of Time]."

"He was really anxious, and even set off that night."

"My mother was very surprised when she saw us in the middle of the night, and thought something big had happened. She was relieved when she learned that it was [Moment of Time]."

An Bing's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he whispered: "I still remember that scene clearly, because..."

"That was also the last time I saw my mother."

"What?"

Joey exclaimed softly: "What happened?"

An Bing did not answer the question directly, but continued.

"Although the time that [Moment of Time] can stop is very limited, Xin still cares about it very much and even asked mother for it."

"However, [Moment of Time] is the proof of my clan's leader and it itself has extremely important significance."

"So, mother rejected Xin's request."

"On the third day after that incident, my mother was found dead at home, and the [Moment of Time] on her body was gone."

Hearing this, Xia En narrowed his eyes and said seriously.

"You mean, you suspect... King Xin killed your mother?"

"That's impossible. He's definitely not that kind of person."

However, An Bing's words surprised Xia En: "In fact, I thought so at first."

"I also think that the Xin I know would never do such a thing."

"But...what happened later gradually changed my mind."

An Bing's pretty face showed bitterness: "Not long after my mother's funeral, I saw with my own eyes..."

"A [Black Flame Walker] handed [Moment of Time] to Xin."

"I told Xin about this directly and asked for the pocket watch back, but he refused."

"He said that [Moment of Time] was extremely important to his plan and could not be returned to our clan for the time being."

"Until then, I still trusted him and agreed to return [Moment of Time] to me after the matter was over."

An Bing gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words from his teeth.

"But I was wrong, and I was very wrong."

"After that day, Xin's behavior became more mysterious and radical."

"Sometimes he disappeared for several days in a row. Not only me, but even [Black Flame Walker] didn't know where he was."

"At the same time, several disappearances occurred in my family."

"Some members of the clan who went out inexplicably lost contact and disappeared."

Hearing this, Xia En immediately realized something, and his expression changed again: "Wait, you mean..."

An Bing nodded: "Yes, just as you think."

"Originally, this incident should have been investigated by the criminal investigation department of [Da Yan Country] "I was looking for them, but because it was related to the existence of the [Ice and Snow People], I was commissioned to investigate."

"In the process of investigating the missing tribesmen, I found some traces of the [Black Flame Walker]. "

"At first, I just thought that the [Black Flame Walker] was involved in this matter."

"But soon, I found out..."

"Those [Black Flame Walkers] are the real culprits who caused the disappearance of the tribesmen!"

"I witnessed with my own eyes that a group of [Black Flame Walkers] took my tribesmen away and took them to an underground research center."

"And the tribesmen who entered it never appeared again!"

Hearing this, Xia En's [Peeping Eyes] suddenly reacted.

[Listen to the key information of the secret!]
