Chapter 2743 Secret Treasure
In the era of centralized monarchy, as a monarch, you must always maintain a high level of character. Yes, it is commonly known as showing off.
Only by having a high level of character can you not be disliked by the royal family and nobles, and can your people feel inscrutable.
If you want to maintain a high profile, you must do many things well. First of all, you must always maintain a wealthy and glorious appearance, a graceful and generous temperament, a vast and endless pomp, and unquestionable words.
Especially the last one, once the promulgated decree or suggestions are blocked, or are not adopted, or even directly dismissed, the force will slowly decline.
Again, a monarch without integrity will not be welcomed by the royal family and nobles, and it will be difficult for him to be respected by his people.
However, when Simmons Locke heard my question, he chuckled, and the smile was obviously contemptuous: "So what if I was ignored? Those royal families and nobles still dare to despise me, the king?" Do you still dare to disobey the Simmons family’s will?”
So I was stunned: "Since you don't mind being looked down upon, why don't you give some suggestions?"
"Because it is impossible to pass," Simmons Locke sighed lightly: "Today's source of disaster is no longer a simple place where disaster occurs, but has become a hub connecting the relationships between the five major countries. At least the monarch of Airui City and Dasay The regent of the city thinks so. This is a kind of recruitment and a kind of conjecture. Many elders of the royal family believe that as long as the source of the disaster can be controlled and properly utilized, the relationship between the five major countries will return to the early days of the legendary heroes."
"But is it possible?"
"Maybe," Simmons Locke affirmed, "if it can be controlled."
Yes, the source of disaster that can be controlled is naturally the best tool, but once it cannot be controlled.
"I hope I can control it and keep it going," I said sincerely.
"I also hope," Simmons Locke chuckled, "but obviously, this is impossible."
I was surprised: "Why do you say that?"
Simmons Locke said: "Do you still remember the origin of my family? My family is an ancient family. Naturally, it possesses many secret treasures that ordinary people do not have. Through the secret treasures, I can spy on the source of disasters at a certain depth. Where the disaster Deeper in the source of disaster, I saw some more terrifying existences."
"Can you please describe it?"
"Why not?" Simmons Locke said, "I actually hope you can understand the situation below the source of the disaster."
I was a little confused, so I heard him say: "Further below the source of the disaster, I saw a group of forest fairies with decaying limbs."
"What!" I exclaimed, attracting the attention of many staff members not far away. I coughed awkwardly and quickly lowered my voice and said, "Really or not?"
Simmons Locke smiled and said, "Are you questioning my family secret treasure?"
"It's not that, I'm just surprised." I said truthfully: "I know the forest fairies quite well. They have the blood of ancient fairies, are immune to diseases, and have a relatively long lifespan. Moreover, after awakening the blood, they have abilities that ordinary humans cannot match. Great strength—I just don’t know if these forest fairies have awakened?”
"I don't know about this," Simmons Locke said, "but I guess it may have awakened, otherwise it wouldn't have been sealed."
After hearing this, I frowned and asked cautiously: "Is it possible that they were used as sacrifices to unblock a more powerful existence?"
"How powerful is that?" Simmons Locke said: "It can be worth a group of awakened forest fairies as sacrifices."
"For example, a more powerful disaster? The kind that the forest fairies can't resist."
"Very few" Simmons Locke said: "My elders told me that apart from some extraterrestrial visitors who came to Zephyr Continent, there were only monsters that nearly destroyed the entire world back then and were now sealed in the Elf Forest. But the former Two-thirds of them were sealed by ancient fairies and ancient elves, and the latter were all driven into the forest of elves by the ancient fairies. Until now, they still dare not show up easily. Don’t you know what kind of existence your ancestors are?”
"The beloved son of the God of Creation? I've heard this many times."
"If it is just a favorite, it would be too superficial," Simmons Locke said: "To borrow a saying from the ancestors of the family, 'Fairies and elves are the maintainers of order in Zephyr Continent and the gods of this planet.' "
I was shocked: "Holy shit, is this true? Are you kidding me? God? Why did you suddenly change from God's favorite to God?"
"Surprised? That's right. You were born in a desolate suburb of Airui City. That place is now in ruins. Even the crows won't stay for a moment. You haven't even known your true identity since you were a child. You have been fighting for food all day long. How can you, who is working so hard, have the leisure to understand these ancient secrets?"
"Your understanding of me is really thorough, Your Majesty!" I said half displeased.
"It's just a routine investigation of my grand-niece's son-in-law." Simmons Locke said with a smile without any guilt: "I have to know what kind of background the man my grand-niece chooses has."
"Since you understand so clearly, why didn't you show up to support me when I was in the most difficult time?" I complained, "It caused me and Bai Yunying to sleep on the street for a long time."
"I didn't approve of you at that time. Besides, if it weren't for Bai Yunying's sake, I would have killed you, the man who took advantage of my grand-nephew's daughter!"
Grinning, I said nothing.
Fortunately, Bai Yunying and I were in love. Simmons Locke could see that I was not a scumbag at that time, at least I didn't have a second fiancée yet. When he learned that I had a group of fiancées, my His identity is no longer something he can shake.
After a haha, I brought the topic back to the topic again: "In other words, it is very likely that these forest fairies were sealed as a disaster, rather than as sacrifices?"
"Um."
"So what's their situation now?" I asked again: "Are they sitting calmly, or are they ready to take action?"
Simmons Locke said: "There are already signs of the forest fairies waking up."
"So it's just a matter of time before the seal is forced to open?"
"That's it," Simmons Locke said: "Once the seal is cracked, they will break out. I really don't know what kind of disaster they will bring to the current Zephyr Continent."
"Why not think optimistically?" I asked: "Maybe because they have just woken up and are still very weak, they can take advantage of his illness and kill him."
"Thank you for your good words," Simmons Locke said with a smile, "If this is really the case, I will grant you the title of prince."
"I don't want those illusory things. Why don't you reward me with something real?" I smiled mischievously and said, "Your family doesn't have many secret treasures. How about you reward me with some secret treasures?"
