Vol 44 Chapter 35: :crown

Not extravagant, but in the majestic palace, the King of Sand stands on the steps in front of the throne. He wears a soul crown and shirtless upper body. The scales on his right arm show signs of unfolding. Most importantly, he Holding the throat of a mummy with one hand, this mummy is the most trusted and respected subordinate of the King of Sand, his right minister Kaga.
What outsiders don’t know is that when the sand king first came to the land of the desert, when he had no power and no power, Kaga followed the sand king, and until today, he has no two minds, but such a loyal subordinate was caught by the sand king. Kill yourself.
In front of the door of the royal palace, the left royal minister Pewin and dozens of guards who rushed there because they heard the right royal minister Kaga wailing, are now looking at what happened in the royal palace in astonishment. They didn't know exactly what happened, they only saw that their king, Ge, killed the Minister of Uro Kaga.
In fact, compared with Minister Zuo Yu and dozens of guards, the King of Sand himself is stunned. His last memory is still staying in the sleeping hall last night, and then ordered the guards to get the crown, and he Picking up the crown, the King of Sand seemed to remember what happened after that, and he felt very vague.
But there is one thing that cannot be faked, that is, the barrier that has prevented the King of Sand for nearly a hundred years. At this moment, he even has a kind of barrier. If he takes two further steps, he can reach the strength of a betrayer. .
This made the Sand King think that if his strength can continue to move forward at the current speed, it does not really matter whether he maintains his power. From the very beginning, the Sand King didn’t want to become a ruler, he wanted With the huge amount of resources at the disposal of the ruler, one has the opportunity to attack the "strongest".
According to the current growth rate, there is really no need to stay close and seek further. For example, continue to grow the Desert Legion, then provoke the relationship between the Alliance and the Northern Empire, and let the two go to war. Finally, the fisherman will gain the advantage and rule the desert, the alliance, and the winter land. A large area, to complete all of this, isn't it to move towards the strongest? Now there is a faster way.
Although he figured this out, the King of Sand was not ready to immediately abandon the existing power. He keenly discovered that his strength broke through the bottleneck that he had held for a hundred years because of the absorption of his confidante Kaga. The original vitality + the original power, the combination of the two, is called the source of life.
In fact, as long as the creatures are strong enough to a certain degree, they have life sources, but once the life sources are pulled out, they will quickly drift away. There is one exception. For example, the alien beasts on the detached original world·Fenghai continent have a source of vitality. It is so huge that it is extremely exaggerated. When killing these powerful monsters, after the huge amount of life source floats out, there is a possibility that it will crystallize. This is the [Life Source] that can be stored for a long time. The white cow needs this thing very much. To suppress old injuries in the body.
Because of this, the [Life Source] that can be stored for a long time after crystallization is rare and expensive.
The King of Sand naturally knew what the source of life was. He thought that it was the crown that gave him the ability to swallow and absorb the source of life of others. After roughly confirming this, his eyes became calmer.
As for the guilt caused by personally killing the confidant who has followed him for many years, the King of Sand does have it, but only for a short time, and he doesn't feel anything. He even betrayed his life-saving teacher Marvin Waltz, and one followed him. He was just a subordinate for many years, and he didn't care much.
Slap, slap~
The Minister of the Right Kaga was so dry that he fell to the brittle lower body. After falling to the ground, he was directly broken into dust. This scene was even more exciting to the Minister of the Left and dozens of guards who were located ten meters away in front of the hall. Army, although each of them has blood on their hands, it is the Minister of the Right Royal Kaga that is dead right now.
"Kaga, time can really change a lot of things."
The Sand King's tone was a bit lonely, and his eyes and demeanor made people feel his sadness and a bit of coldness in the past.
"Pewin," the King of Sand looked at the Minister of the Left Royal, he put only half of his hand, and placed the dead body of the Minister of the Right Kaga on the steps, and continued: "Find a good place and bury Kaga. Don't be buried near the capital, I don't want to see him again."
After that, the King of Sand walked to the side door, a bit lonely from his back, the kind of loneliness betrayed by the most trusted person.
Seeing this scene, dozens of guards in the palace had guessed what was going on in their hearts. It must be the minister of the Uyu Kaga who secretly took refuge in the alliance or the northern empire. Inside the palace.
The Guards did think so, but Zuo Yumin Peywin didn't have the slightest idea. She knew a lot. In her opinion, Kaga had no reason for betrayal anyway. This was unreasonable.
Even if Kaga really betrayed, then Feng Shui Du now will never be as safe as it is now. There is only one possibility, that Kaga did not betray, but the King of Sand he followed. I don’t know why. For this reason, he was killed, and because of this, the wailing sound made him look so hoarse and unwilling.
The Minister Zuo Yu Peiwen looked around, and there was no trace of fighting in the palace. If Kaga is a traitor, after being seen through by the Sand King, he would at least jump over the wall, but in the palace right now, let alone the traces of battle, the air There is no aura energy in the middle, which shows that the life and death of just now are decided in a very short time.
Suddenly, Minister Zuo Peiwen remembered the anger of the King of Sand when he saw the black crown last evening, and ordered the quartermaster who offered the crown to be chopped off, but this order was changed after a while, and the quartermaster was imprisoned. Go to the dungeon of Saint Sandcastle.
Just now, Minister Zuo Peiwen saw with his own eyes that the King of Sand wears the black crown presented by the quartermaster yesterday. This is really abnormal. No matter how you look at it, it is not Kaga’s betrayal, but the sand that won the black crown. King, something went wrong.
Minister Zuo Yu, wearing a silver metal mask, squinted her eyes. She has decided one thing is to leave the desert country immediately, go to the Alliance, find her best friend Silver Face in the Antler Organization, and seek shelter for a period of time.
The Minister Zuo Yu, who made this decision, walked outside the palace. She subconsciously glanced at the side hall door on the side. With just a glance, she saw a tall and burly figure standing in the dark in the dim corridor connected by the side hall door. , Those eyes that were completely pitch black, so black that made people horribly dark, were looking at her, which made the Minister Zuo Yu's scalp numb, and she subconsciously speeded up her pace.
"Pewin."
The King of Sand in the dim corridor opened his mouth, which made Zuo Yuchen Peiwen, who was walking fast, stopped. The cold sweat had soaked her underwear, and death was blowing and blowing behind her like the breath of a giant beast. Her silky hair.
"You guys get out first, I have something to discuss with Pevin."
The King of Sand stood in the dark side corridor and opened his mouth. Hearing this order, a group of guards hurried out of the palace. The head of the guard Sova slowly closed the side door of the palace, when there was still a crack in the door. When it was very narrow, the Captain of the Guard Sova saw the Minister Zuo Yu, who was facing the King of Sand with his back facing him, and gradually closed his eyes under the silver mask.
The door of the palace closed suddenly, Pevin closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Pevin turned to face the King of Sand, and suddenly realized that, only for one night, the King of Sand had changed so much. The opponent's height was at least 3.5 meters and above. The original brown pupils became completely dark. Without the slightest white eyes, the short burgundy short hair has turned into jet black long hair scattered behind the back. The long hair is dark to the depths, as if every one of them has life.
At this moment, the sand king wearing the soul crown, in addition to the previous oppression, he also added a demon, like a mad king whose mind has fallen into the abyss!
"Wang, I have been working for you for so long, now without asking for anything in return, let me go."
Minister Zuo Yu Peiwen spoke almost pleadingly.
"Pevin, what are you talking about, you are my most beloved and most trusted subordinate, if it weren't for the woman I already have a deep love for, you must be my princess."
The King of Sand grinned as he spoke, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth, and those dark eyes, as if looking at the bait that fell into the trap.
In the next second, the King of Sand appeared in front of Minister Zuo Yu.
Huh!
The blade of Pevin's right arm pierced into the chest of the King of Sand, but she felt that the stabbing was not right. It was too strong. She looked intently and found that only the tip of the arm blade had penetrated into the flesh and blood. Centimeter deep, her full blow only caused skin trauma to the King of Sand.
Pewin’s arm blade could not severely damage the sand king, but the big hand of the sand king has grabbed Pewin’s head from the side. The sand king with a height of more than 3 meters 5 has the size of his palm and can be easily held with one hand. Wen's head and the silver mask she was wearing creaked. What's more frightening was that she felt her whole body become extremely relaxed, and at the same time she was weakening rapidly.
"In this world, no one can kill me except the shadow of the abyss. The radiance can't do it. Nor can the creature of the abyss called Silves who claim to be the leader of the abyss."
As the King of Sand spoke, the Minister Zuo Yu Peiwen had dried up, turned into gravel and scattered on the ground, only a silver mask was left in the hands of the King of Sand.
"Silver antlers."
The sand king exerted force in his hand to squeeze the silver mask in his hand, and at the same time, the metal mask turned into a mass of residue as if it had been chewed.
The King of Sand felt at this moment that he was a 100% fitter of this original sin thing. He fully possessed this original sin thing called the soul crown. He was not controlled by it, but he was using this original sin thing.
"Sova."
The Sand King opened his mouth, and the guard captain Sova, who was on standby outside the door, pushed in. Although the guard captain Sova noticed the sand on the ground and the metal ball that seemed to have been chewed, he didn't immediately think of it. It is the remains of Zuo Yushi Peiwen.
"Go and find the man who presented the crown, his name is..."
"Caesar, my lord, the quartermaster is called Caesar, and he has been serving as a quartermaster under you for more than ten years."
Captain Sova reminded respectfully.
"Well, go find him, wait, you look up to see this king, is there any change between this king and before."
The King of Sand, who sat on the throne casually, spoke. Hearing this, Captain Sova raised his head tremblingly in his heart.
The captain of the Guard Sova, kneeling on one knee, looked up at the King of Sand carefully. His true thoughts were: ‘Wang, you have even changed your hairstyle. Did you say that there has been any change? ’
"Wang, I didn't notice any changes, it just feels that you... are stronger."
The Captain of the Guard Sova had long discovered that it was wrong, so naturally he followed the meaning of the Sand King.
"Well, good, let's go down."
The King of Sand was quite satisfied. The answer from his subordinates made him more certain. It was he who controlled the crown, not the crown controlling him. From last night to now, the memory gap period is likely to be the period of adaptation and fit between him and the soul crown. .
The IQ of the Sand King plummeted? Of course not. The situation of the King of Sand is normal right now. This is the scary part of the Soul Crown. This crown is never forcibly controlling the holder, but makes the holder mistakenly believe that he controls the crown, and then he will subconsciously. Some unreasonable places are rationalized in their own minds.
For example, the memory gap period of the King of Sand from midnight last night to this morning. In the past, the King of Sand would immediately be alert, but now he is wearing the crown of soul, and naturally, he rationalizes this matter by himself.
"Come here."
The King of Sand ordered more than a dozen guards to enter the palace and follow him to the more spacious training hall. This means that his strength is improved and these guards will besiege him to test the improvement of his strength.
An hour later, when Captain Sova led Caesar and pushed open the door of the training hall, he saw that the ground was full of gravel and empty armor, or weapons with traces of defects scattered on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Captain Sova's heart suffocated, but he knelt down on one knee with a calm expression, and said, "King, the man has brought it."
"very good."
The Sand King opened his dark eyes and looked at the somewhat treacherous and wretched Caesar. For some reason, compared to the last time he met, he clearly felt that Caesar was pleasing to his eyes this time, especially when he thought of the soul crown that the other party brought him. He looked at Caesar more pleasingly.
"You are fine, from now on, you will assume the position of Zuo Yu."
The King of Sand immediately promoted Caesar from quartermaster to Zuoyu minister.
"Xie Dawang."
Caesar beamed with joy. The Minister of the Left Imperial Court of the Desert Country, but in charge of finances, is much better than the quartermaster position.
"As for Sova, you."
The King of Sand looked at the captain of the guard Sova, his gaze was as if he was looking at a delicacy that had a perfect effect, the captain of the guard Sova almost couldn't hold back the sudden shaking of his legs.
"Don't let this king down."
The King of Sand spoke meaningfully to the captain of the guard Sova, obviously not planning to kill the captain of the guard, but keeping it useful temporarily.
"Yes, yes, the minister must swear allegiance to the king."
"Well, your family has all received the mansion in Houcheng District, where the living conditions are better."
Hearing this, Captain Sova’s scalp almost exploded. His plan was to leave the palace this time with his parents, wife, and a pair of children to escape from the desert country. Right now, he dare not. After escaping, he was really not afraid of death, but he was extremely afraid of misfortune for his family.
"Thank the king for his kindness."
Captain Sova changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, with his forehead close to the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The King of Sand laughed uncharacteristically, his long hair crawling on the throne as if it were alive.
‘Mad King! ’
The captain of the guard Sova, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and thought of this word. At this time, it was a perfect fit to use the Mad King to describe the King of Sand.
"Wang, the minister knows a few talents who are good at treasure hunting and wants to draw them in."
Caesar smiled and rubbed his hands. Hearing this, the King of Sand was very interested. Caesar introduced these talents in detail, and suddenly said at the end:
"By the way, look at my memory, there is a therapeutic talent, and my ministers would also like to introduce him."
"You figure it out."
The King of Sand opened his mouth without raising his eyes. Caesar nodded repeatedly to thank the King of Sand for his trust. In fact, the talents in treasure hunting were only used to attract attention. The real purpose is to introduce a therapeutic talent in the last sentence.
When Caesar was talking to the Sand King, in the farm manor ten kilometers away, the table in the banquet hall was filled with all kinds of freshly cooked food, such as Delei, Silver Noodles, Veronica, and Red Pupil. The four of them are eating up and eating, even if the red pupil who always cares about etiquette and maintains the feminine temperament, they chew very fast, and the energetic Veronica is already getting started, she is almost starving.
According to the coordinates received by Yinmian, they came all the way from the north, not to mention the humans, not even the animals, and the high physical exertion of rushing on the road at full speed, only to starve Veronica into this look.
"Look at you hungry, eat slowly, and where did the Beast Rider go?"
Baha spoke, and Veronica, who was holding a leg of lamb, looked suspiciously, and asked, "What beast rider?"
Hearing this, Baha was puzzled, but he layed his wings and asked Veronica to continue cooking.
Su Xiao escaped from the meditation state, opened his eyes, and he naturally heard the conversation just now, especially the phrase ‘what beast rider’ uttered by Veronica, which was really suspicious.
Right now the Platinum Bishop and the High Priest were not there, and went to investigate the situation at Saint Sandcastle, but the Prophet of the Ghost Race looked like he hadn't heard anything.
What is really puzzling is that after Veronica said "what kind of beast knight?", Dre and the silver face around the table cast doubtful glances. It seemed that they didn't know why Baja said the beast knight. I have never heard of this person before.
The girl with the red pupil was also puzzled, it felt like she didn't remember having a beast rider.
The current situation is not that the Beast Rider was killed by the enemy, or something else, but apart from Su Xiao, Bubwang, Eminem, and Baha, everyone else does not remember the existence of the Beast Rider.
Su Xiao thought that this should be a follow-up to the mission of "The Land of Falling Fire", because he passed the solar trial, arrived at the Temple of the Sun, and saw the stone stele, which led to this situation.
Su Xiao determined this because of the recording function of the sanctuary. Before he went deep into the land of the Fallen Fire with the hymns, and spent a day in the sanctuary, a scorpion came outside and laid eggs outside the sanctuary. The sun knight in heavy armor smashed all the scorpion eggs that were climbing outside the sanctuary with a scepter. Before leaving, he also made a gesture of praising the sun. The tall figure in armor was too much like a beast knight.
Right now the Beast Knight suddenly disappeared. Su Xiao didn’t know exactly why. The missions related to the Land of Fire did not cause him to skip too many links. He didn’t take the mission at all, the mission key item, the Temple Key, They are all replaced by straight kicks.
Why didn’t everyone on the scene remember the Beast Rider, Su Xiao himself, Boubowan, Eminem, and Baha did. Su Xiao was sure that this was because of the notarization of the Reincarnation Paradise, the power level that made everyone forget the Beast Rider. It is very tall, but not higher than the notarization of Samsara Paradise, and there is also the notarization of the paradise hymn. She has not acted with the team before, and has never had any impression of the Beast Rider.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided not to be nosy. As long as he can be sure that the Platinum Bishop is a credible collaborator, this is enough. In other respects, don’t go into it. Everyone has secrets and keeps asking questions. The most likely is break.
Su Xiao had a conclusion in her heart, but the hymn next to him was a little flustered, because she had just received a few prompts suddenly.
[Hint: You have joined the Desert Nation camp. 】
[You have been promoted to the healer of the Sand King. 】
[Because the Alliance and the Desert Nation are semi-hostile camps, you cannot be in two camps at the same time. You have forcibly quit the alliance camp and become a camp traitor. 】
[Warning: Your enemy unit, Kukulin, White Night, within 10 meters, is the Dean of the Alliance and Twilight Asylum (the alliance high-level). This unit is highly hostile to you. After being destroyed, it will gain a huge amount of faction reputation. 】
...
Seeing these hints, the hymn's eyes became more solemn. If she has other abilities, she can still sneak into the enemy and inflict heavy damage on the enemy at the critical moment. The problem is that she has just been promoted to the ninth rank and the combat abilities have not yet risen, only healing. With her ability to reach the middle and upper echelon of Tier 9, letting her sneak into the enemy's rear as a nanny, it didn't seem like a part of the plan.
If it were not part of the plan, Hymn thought that she should have been caught by the enemy, and she seemed to be unable to defeat the hunter who was in the same room right now.
"White night, you said, what if there is a traitor among us?"
"Kill to death."
"What if that person somehow became a traitor?"
When the hymn was speaking, the expression was already a bit wonderful.
"..."
Su Xiao turned his head to look at the hymn next to him, and after a moment of speechlessness, he said: "Caesar let you successfully join the Desert Nation camp?"
"You... arranged it?"
"right."
"I am a healing department, what do I do to join the enemy camp?!"
"When I fight to death with the King of Sand, you will heal him."
"what?!"
The hymn was lost, very lost, she carefully tasted the sentence, and after confirming that she had heard it correctly, she looked at Su Xiao puzzled.
"By then you will know that you are the protagonist of that deadly battle."
Baha had a somewhat mysterious opening, which made the hymn even more puzzled. At this moment, the prophet of the ghost race who was lying on the bench and dozing off sat up and sat there, staring at the front in a dazed manner.
At the same time, on the top floor of Saint Sandcastle, the King of Sand is standing in front of an altar. On this altar is a trough bed that looks a bit like a coffin. Inside lies the famous desert beauty, but she is sleeping. This is sand. The princess of the king, a powerful fortune-teller.
The King of Sand cut his palm and used his bleeding hand to press the crystal ball on the front of the trough bed. The next moment, the light was bright, and the beauty in the trough bed trembled, and opened her eyes a few seconds later.
"I'm having some trouble and need you to fortune telling for me."
The King of Sand helped the princess on the trough bed. When the princess had just awakened from the confusion, she immediately noticed the great changes of the King of Sand and the crown on the other's head.
At the same time, in the outskirts of Fengshuidu, inside the farm manor.
The ghost prophet who sat on the bench startled for a moment said: "Exterminate the law, promise me one more time, you will kill the King of Sand."
"Either I died, or he died."
Su Xiao spoke in a gentle tone, did not try to promise, and even the tone was a little flat. On the contrary, this flat tone made the ghost prophet feel credible. He had seen too many promises and even made poisonous oaths, but he didn't do anything. People.
"Well, you are responsible for killing the King of Sand, and I am responsible for getting rid of, the strongest fortune-teller in the world."
The hand of the Prophet of the Ghost Race unfolded, spatial fluctuations appeared, and a crystal bottle ten centimeters high fell into his hand. This was a bottle of deep energy that was so strong that it appeared to be liquid.
The Prophet of the Ghost Race pulled out the cork and drank the liquid abyssal energy in the bottle with his head up a few mouthfuls. Knowing that he didn't have much time, he immediately tore off his beard and drew a strand of hair from it. This is the land of the desert. The princess's hair.
"The King of Sand, this is exactly like when you took my wife away."
The Prophet of the Ghost Race smiled, his body withered to skinny in a short time, like a ghost, his fingers crossed his hands, and he clamped the strand of hair with his palms.
Snapped!
The ghost prophet splashed blood all over his body. In fact, he was not only a divination system, but also a causal system that attracted people's dread. That's why, the ghost prophet believed that Su Xiao could kill the king of sand, as the ghost prophet of the causal system. I have already noticed that the ability of the causal system has no use for Su Xiao.
At the same time, the newly awakened princess on the top of Saint Sandcastle, after taking in the original vitality of everyone except the sand king within 1 kilometer, her eyes became agile, and she immediately raised her hand and grabbed the sand king’s head. On the crown.
Snapped!
Blood and minced meat were splattered, and the princess shattered in front of the sand king, and his face was covered with blood and minced meat. This scene, and his wife of the Prophet of the ghost clan with his power, splattered the ghost clan. The prophet is full of bodies, very similar, and can only say that if it is not necessary, don't mess with cause and effect.
Why doesn't the sand king cut the grass and roots? In fact, there is no such possibility, the King of Sand does not remember such a nameless man at all.
Even with the concentration of the King of Sand, he was taken aback by the sight of his eyes. He wiped the flesh and blood on his face, looked at the blood on his hands, and soon calmed down. The life-saving mentor can stab him back. The princess whose name has been beloved, naturally cannot touch his heart, not to mention that he is about to become a mad king now.
The Sand King picked up a moist towel and wiped the blood on his face. He came to the window and looked down at the hundreds of guards in the back courtyard of Saint Sand Castle. He no longer needed these minions who had done a lot of dirty work for him. , In front of the window, with long black hair fluttering, the King of Sand grinned, and the grin was creepy.
...
On the outskirts of Fengshuidu, inside the farm manor.
Tick, tick~
The black blood was dripping down the fingertips of the Prophet of the Ghost Race ~EbookFREE.me~ He has fallen into a drowsy state. As he died, the prophet of the Ghost Race took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Su Xiao said weakly:
"Be sure to let that, arrogant guy, pay, the price."
"Well, definitely."
Hearing Su Xiao's assurance, the look in the eyes of the Prophet of the Ghost Race was completely dim.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette and asked Eminem, Drey, and Yinmian to bury the Prophet of the Ghost Race. There were many flower fields nearby, which were also a good place to sleep.
[Note: The hunting list has been changed. 】
Receiving this prompt, Su Xiaogu showed up the "Hunter List·Blood Deed", and then saw that the original "Destroyer (Sand King)·Bounty 800 ounces of Time and Space Power" had disappeared, but had become :
"Mad King Bounty 1300 ounces of space-time power."
