Chapter 190 Rumors of the past
Come back to life, my author. (How many of you are still following this book? Please write this in the comments section.)
Inside the palace of the Water Kingdom.
"Little Li, how is the task I asked you to do going?" A man in a blue robe sitting on the dragon throne looked intimidating without even getting angry.
Little Lizi was the eunuch who had gone to announce the decree. At this moment, his face turned pale as he faced the king, and his knees trembled uncontrollably as he knelt on the cold ground.
Seeing that Little Li had not replied for a long time, Lan Xianyun sighed slightly. The two generals had been disobeying imperial orders for a long time, and everyone knew that they were rebellious. Maybe one day they would stage a famous scene of regicide in the street. The other party had military power in their hands and their power in the Water Kingdom was unmatched. He could do nothing about it.
"Alas, get up, I forgive you."
Little Leo was in tears, and only after hearing Lan Xianyun's words did he stand up tremblingly as if he had been pardoned.
"Little Li, you are the only person I can trust in this huge palace. How could I blame you?"
Little Leo felt inexplicably moved. At the beginning, Lan Xianyun was not the monarch of the Water Kingdom. He was just a prince. When the previous emperor passed away, he left no offspring. Since he was closest to the previous emperor in blood, he was supported by the ministers in the court to ascend the throne. However, although he was the emperor in public, a group of court officials headed by General Zhenxi and General Zhenbei controlled the government in private, and they had been doing the work of a puppet emperor.
"Your Majesty, the two generals are still refusing to obey orders as usual."
Lan Xianyun was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the desk!
"This is too much! When has our Water Country, which has been passed down for thousands of years, ever suffered such a great humiliation? Is the Water Country's thousand-year foundation going to be destroyed in my hands? How can I face my ancestors after my death?"
His fingernails dug into the flesh so deeply that soon the desk was covered in blood.
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first! You must take care of your body. As long as Your Majesty is alive, things will turn around. Please don't give up on yourself!"
"Turning point? Tell me, where is the turning point? I am just a puppet in their hands! Can my words be heard outside the palace? Even the palace is full of spies of those treacherous officials! The only place I can stay is this small study room!"
Lan Xianyun’s current situation is actually similar to those kings who lost their country in history.
"Your Majesty, I met a strange person when I went to summon the two generals. Perhaps with her help, Your Majesty may be able to wipe out the rebels and revive the government."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xianyun's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
"Haha, revive the government? Who is this person and how can she help me? If she can really help me clean up the rebels, it would be like just driving away the wolves and inviting in a tiger."
Little Leo didn't quite understand the whole thing, he could only tell Lan Xianyun the news, and it was up to him to decide whether to use it or not.
"Your Majesty, when I found the two generals, General Luo was confronting General Ai. There was another group of people with General Ai. I saw that they were dressed strangely and did not look like people from our world. They looked more like outsiders, but I could not recognize who they were."
Lan Xianyun's dead heart was rekindled. A foreigner? Or a foreigner who wasn't from the magical continent?
"Are you saying those people are not from the Magic Continent?"
Little Li couldn't explain it for a while, so he just picked out the important things and said, "Your Majesty, the leader of them claims to be a saint from the heaven, and she even took out a token to prove her identity. Others claim to be the master of the Star Palace, and another one says she is a princess of the Locke Kingdom. There is also a child with the title of earl, and there are also two great magicians."
After listening to Leo's explanation, Lan Xianyun's long-dead young heart was revived again. There has been a legend circulating in their royal family that a thousand years ago, an evil magician named Nightmare suddenly descended on the magical continent, bringing endless darkness and fear to the magical continent. The Three Kingdoms at that time had no way to deal with the invasion and enslavement of Nightmare.
But just when the Magic Continent was about to fall into the hands of Nightmare, a fleet came from the East. They claimed to be envoys from Xuanyu Island and came to the Magic Continent to submit a letter of friendly exchange. However, the three countries at that time had suffered from war and did not have much communication with the envoy. However, the envoy said that he would return to Xuanyu Island as soon as possible to ask for help to help the Magic Continent overcome the difficulties.
When he came to the magic continent for the second time, the messenger brought a large number of magicians to support him, and there was also a powerful country called Locke Kingdom who joined in the fight to eliminate the nightmare.
At that time, the strong man from Xuanyu Island who was leading the group carried ten artifacts. After an arduous struggle, they finally eliminated the nightmare, but the strong man also died. Five of the ten artifacts were obtained by the three major kingdoms and two regional forces, and the other five were lost in various corners of the magic continent and have not been found until now.
"Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. The woman who claimed to be a saint released me to tell your Majesty about this matter. She also said..."
"What else did she say?" Lan Xianyun excitedly put his hand on Xiao Lizi's shoulder and shook it continuously.
"Your Majesty, she...she also said that she wanted Your Majesty to come and see her in person."
"Nothing else?"
"Gone."
"Hahahaha... God will not destroy our Water Kingdom. With their help, our Water Kingdom will surely be revived again! Go and prepare the frame! I want to go and pay a visit to the Saint!"
Upon hearing this, Little Li did not dare to be negligent. If this matter was done well, it would be a great achievement. He would definitely enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of his life. If he could make the emperor happy, he might even find a sister-in-law for him.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
.....
Luo An and Ai Kun had already stood up, but they didn't dare to move at all, for fear that the other party would be unhappy and kill them directly.
"Brother Ai, I didn't expect that after fighting for most of our lives, in the end, someone else would take the spoils." Luo An smiled bitterly.
"Alas, who would have thought that the bullshit legend was actually true? Who would have thought that another continent actually existed? I never expected this."
Both important ministers were here lamenting the unfairness of fate.
"Haha, I'm afraid that by then you and I will meet in the underworld."
"Humph! Just a common man's opinion. Are you afraid of them?"
"Humph, what's the harm in having just over a hundred high-level magicians? It's not like our families don't have high-level magicians. We've been fighting for so long, why don't we cooperate at this critical moment of life and death?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
