Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 343 Royal Scandal (6)

At 12:30 noon, the headquarters of the Knights.

Cliki went back to the museum first, and Orianna and Mo Yuankai were standing under the watchful eyes of the knights, and everyone was mixed with joy and sorrow.It was a great joy that the enchantment center was successfully repaired, but the skeleton king who appeared at the end made everyone worried.

The knight Rakel was the first to speak: "There has never been a similar record in the past. Since the establishment of the Shadow and Mist Capital, the Skeleton King will only appear on the day of the duel..."

"But it has already appeared." Yulia said, "Considering the coming crisis, I propose to concentrate our forces to attack the abnormal King Muscle."

Cavalier Sara (Golden Retriever) slapped her colleague on the calf with her tail: "Think about the consequences before you speak, Yulia! No one knows the deep connection between King Mu and Shadow Mist. What should we do if this hasty move causes serious injuries to the head of the regiment or your mage?”

Yulia remained silent, only expressing her disapproval with a stiff face.Deputy head Gaffrey presided over the meeting instead of the head who was not present. He tapped his notebook with a pen and fell into a long silence.Mo Yuankai looked around, and finally found a chance to interject: "So what exactly is King Mu?"

"We don't know, sir." Gaffrey propped his forehead with his hands, "Mages suspect that it is the most powerful phantom ever, but it has a small part of the crystals used by the eager beast. Considering the The characteristics of Wudu, it may also be the embodiment of some kind of negative emotions in the collective subconscious, or the monsters cultivated by the enchantment itself.

Since the establishment of the ceremony to appease King Mu, he has never appeared outside of that special day.So it's so weird..."

"Is there a ritual to appease it?" Mo Yuankai was surprised.

"It is said that the king of bones appeared long ago and asked the knights to show their bravery in front of it. Therefore, a specific ceremony is held every year. In the world on the front side, the knights compete in martial arts in front of the palace to boost the country's prestige; In the world on the inside, under the watchful eyes of the King of Muscles, the knights fought impermanent duels until the King of Muscles disappeared." Orianna explained in a low voice, "This ceremony has been passed down from generation to generation and has become well-known in the kingdom. Tradition, that is, the imperial duel that will be held next month."

Mo Yuankai gradually understood the thinking of the people in the kingdom.The King of Skeleton is likely to have a world-class combat power. If he can be appeased by regular rituals, why bother to try to defeat him?
Sarah's speculation was no joke.If something happens to Shadow Mist after defeating Queen Mu, things will be a big deal.

The hero of the sky held back for a long time, and said: "I feel that there are too many hidden dangers in the kingdom..."

Gaffrey pointed out solemnly: "If something has not gone wrong for a long time, the best way to deal with it is to leave it alone."

"Then what if something goes wrong?" Orianna asked cautiously.

"On political occasions, we can declare that we will take decisive measures when necessary, and then turn a blind eye to them." Gaffrey rubbed his hands, his eyes wandering, "On social occasions... um... Forehead……"

All the knights sighed in unison.The knight Sarah said quickly: "Let's leave this matter to the head of the regiment and His Excellency the Magistrate to discuss. Let's discuss what we can do first...By the way, what happened to Prince Charles' seal?"

·
"How will we handle this case in the end?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"Prince Charles, please handle it yourself."

"Then you great detective will miss it."

Elandia didn't change her face: "I don't think this person is worth helping."

Also, no matter how good the dawn knight is, there is always a limit.The previous help was based on the face of Grey who came to ask for it in person. After learning the truth, he still asked for a stamp for this rotten person.

He was a little pleased at the discovery that Elandia was not a selfless, dedicated Madonna.But he soon discovered a contradiction with this conclusion. After holding back for a while, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but said: "I heard about Jane and Charlie."

"And you want to ask me what I think of Jane, Mr. Gongsun."

I just said it and you know the purpose?Hell, can you stop reading minds like this?

Gongsun Ce scanned the ground sullenly, trying to find any stones suitable for kicking.It's a pity that the sanitation in the inner city is very good, and there is nothing for him to vent on the gravel road, only people dressed in classic clothes walk around leisurely.Dawn Knight seems to have no plans for the afternoon, they are walking on the way home.

"Yes, I am very curious... I know how strong your observation skills are. You can judge a person's background at once by relying on that incredible little skill, and you must be aware of her mentality. Lian Ao That silly girl, Lianna, even realized that something was wrong with Jane, so you have no idea?"

Dawn Knight rested his fingers on the brim of his hat and said, "I did notice her change. Revenge, jealousy, low self-esteem, and the trauma of emotional frustration made Jane start to have complex hostility towards me."

"……and then?"

"I tried to counsel her, but it didn't work."

Gongsun Ce stopped and looked at the woman beside him in disbelief.

"No, Elandia. You...you just let a woman who is hostile to you stay by your side to be your entourage? Have you ever thought about how many chances she has to harm you?"

"Jane did no real evil before stealing the seal."

Gongsun Ce became excited: "She has a lot of ways to disgust you! I can tell by her demeanor, she is a standard villain. When I was doing heroic activities with my brother, I saw too many people like this. They can't If you defeat you head-on, you will find ways to disgust people in private. I bet she must have spread all kinds of rumors against you, and she must be responsible for your poor popularity!"

Elandia shook her head: "I know."

Gongsun Ce was dumbfounded.

"You know it all, but you still haven't seen it?"

"The relationship between people is complex and changeable, and everyone must have a certain degree of negative views on the people around them. Just as you think that the knight Orianna is naive and naive, you think that Mr. Mo Yuankai is too kind, and you think that I Stubborn and boring." Elandia said, "It is a legitimate right of every human being to express one's true opinion of others. It is true that Jane Diella has expressed her opinion of me on many occasions, but she should not and be blamed.”

Gongsun Ce rubbed his temples vigorously: "Let me sum up your opinion. Do you think it is...her legitimate right for someone to always speak ill of you behind your back?"

"I also often express my views on others, and I don't think it's a shameful thing." Elandia nodded.

The silver-haired woman spoke in a dignified and natural way, without any false concealment.He thought maybe the Dawn Knight really didn't care, because she was such an open-mouthed person herself.She never shy away from expressing her opinions in front of others, just like when she first met, she said "You gave me a bad first impression", even if she is as noble as a prince, she couldn't make her change her straightforward attitude.

How could such a person care about gossip?Even if someone said to her face that the Dawn Knight didn't understand people's hearts and was rigid, she would just accept it indifferently.In her opinion, this is the same as her usual words and deeds, and it is not something to be blamed.

Gongsun Ce racked his brains to explain: "Listen to me, Elandia. I admire your attitude, but the problem with this matter is that she no longer respects and loves you, do you understand? She hates you and is hostile to you!"

"Yes," Elandia said. "So, can we ask our friends to love us forever?"

Elandia took it for granted, she spoke so seriously that Gongsun Ce had nothing to say.

He sighed deeply, deeply.He raised one palm and said earnestly: "Listen to my advice, Dawn Knight. Human relationships are not done like this. It's a good thing to disregard deeds, but you can't help it...you can't keep this attitude forever .”

"You think I'm doing something wrong," Elandia said.

"No, you are right. Your thoughts and actions are correct, but... right is not always the best." Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Not everyone is as honest and upright as you. Most people can't be so simple We get on with it, so we need lies and concessions to ease the friction in life."

After listening to his words quietly, Elandia said, "Mr. Gongsun, I understand what you mean..."

"But you don't plan to change it?" Gongsun Ce replied quickly.

"It's my way of life."

"So you deserve to be unpopular, no one wants to be tortured by your side!" Gongsun Ce said angrily, "Enjoy the loneliness you choose!"

He stopped talking, and continued to follow the Dawn Knight, making loud noises on the ground in anger, attracting surprised glances from the bystanders.This woman is really incomprehensible, most people's stubbornness is at most like a piece of wood, but she is as cold and hard as a piece of steel.Not heartless, but cold.

But steel can also be injured, even the super robots in the animation are also damaged in battle.Dawn Knight doesn't care about other people's hostility and misunderstanding, but Elandia must be sad, because she is still a person after all, and she also has relatives and friends that she values.Even so she insists on doing things her own way, what is that but paranoia?It's really self-inflicted.

They walked in silence for a while, and stopped at the red light at the intersection.He heard the Dawn Knight say: "Mr. Gongsun, if you feel uncomfortable by my side, you can apply to replace the other knights as your protectors."

Gongsun Ce stared at her for a while, and Elandia asked again: "Mr. Gongsun?"

"You." Gongsun Ce waved his hands weakly, "You really are...you just don't understand people's hearts!"

"Be careful with your words."

"I don't change!"

"why?"

"I am happy!"

They were discussing this topic until they entered the door. Elandia was deeply curious and kept pursuing it. Gongsun Ce showed his weakness by blocking from left to right.

They didn't notice that there were two people following behind them all the time, listening to the words from the wind.

·
"Are you satisfied?" The Hermit Lord asked, "Now you can look at yourself from another perspective. Read their evaluations and listen to their opinions."

Jane Diella was still standing there as if she had lost her soul, and the Hermit Lord thought it was very funny.He knew that Wuxiang hadn't manipulated this woman herself, everything was her own choice.Does reality really have such power?How can you make an ignorant but vicious woman fall like this?

He said with a trace of sarcasm: "In my opinion, you are purely self-inflicted. And that person with superpowers can do a better job than you...he is a far more qualified assistant than you."

Jane looked at him hesitantly, her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.Suddenly her dull eyes lit up, and she tightly grasped the Lord Yin Lu's hand, almost begging, "Let me see His Royal Highness Charlie! Please! Let me see His Royal Highness Charlie! !"

She also wanted a little reassurance.A little love that was longed for.She grasped at the last straw, as if that could really save her soul.

"Okay." The Hermit Lord said.

Ten minutes later, they appeared on an avenue near the palace, where Charlie Morton would pass by.The prince is used to taking walks in the afternoon, wandering around the gardens or art exhibitions in Wangduzhong alone, because this can give him more opportunities to meet beautiful love.

At this moment, he was hitting the iron railing on the side of the road with his cane, and the sound of jingling seemed to reflect the anxiety in the prince's heart.Jane trotted over and stood in front of the prince. The guards didn't respond to her appearance at all.She looked at the prince with such earnest eyes, like a fisherman drowning in the sea looking at the approaching fire.

Jane rubbed her hands nervously and said, "Good afternoon, His Royal Highness..."

Charlie Morton looked back with those beautiful eyes, and his charming smile still tugged at her heartstrings as ever.Jane felt anxious and worried.She was even more worried that the smile was just a courtesy, and the next moment the prince would fly into a rage, because they had never seen each other after that failed date.

That's all right, Jane thought.Let me completely die of this heart.Say you don't love me long ago, and then I can make some confessions.I have done so many wrong things, and I deserve some harshness.

"Good afternoon, ma'am." She heard the prince say, "Who are you?"

The colorful world shattered like glass, and what I saw in my eyes was like a gray negative.Charlie was still talking, obviously very close, but it sounded like he was far away. "I believe you are... a bakery clerk? Or a bank clerk? It's an interesting coincidence to meet in this place..."

Her lips moved mechanically, speaking in emotionless words.

"Your Highness. I am one of your admirers. I saw you by chance, and I couldn't help but want to come and say hello."

"I'm so touched!" said Charlie happily.He tore off a small purple flower from the flower bed on the side of the road, and handed it to Jane in a gentlemanly manner. "Thank you, madam. I have no treasure, but flowers."

"Thank you... I wish you good health."

Holding the flower in her hands, Jane squeezed out a grateful smile, and watched the prince and his guards go away.So the Knight of the Dawn was right, she thought vaguely, so Charlie Morton had never really loved her.

Charlie doesn't even remember what she looks like anymore.

The beautiful bunch of flowers was blown away by the cold wind, and the petals fell in the air, missing.The light disappeared from her eyes, and what she saw was only the light and shadow in her imagination, so the fisherman sank into the icy ocean without struggling anymore.

Jane felt that something was shattered in the chest cavity, and the fragments were stuck in the flesh and bones. What flowed out was not blood, but cold liquid.She stumbled away for an unknown amount of time, and the Yin Lu Lord beside her was speaking, but she couldn't hear her.When she came back to her senses, she was standing in an alley, and a man in a white coat and tall hat stood in front of her, like a lonely ghost.

"I used to hear good words of gold and jade, but now I personally prove it. Looking back on the past, how do you feel?"

Jane knelt on the ground, as if her bones had been removed.The white hood behind her collar was blown up by the wind and covered her hair, like a village girl who just entered the city from the village.

"Everyone is right," she said desperately.

"The prince has never loved me. The knights are the ones who care about me. But I still...I still..." Jane clutched her head tightly, "I...I really just want to help Elandia... ...I want to help her. I have grievances, I have done shameful things, but I really wanted to help her get out of the seal that time...I...I...!"

She's about to break down.Lord Yinlu thought, this person is about to collapse, only one straw is missing.

Situ Yi bent down and said in a very soft voice, "You want to harm her."

The straw weighed down.Jane Diella's heart was broken at this moment. "I didn't! I didn't!!" She screamed piercingly, as horrified as a phantom in Shadow Mist City. "I...I...!" She frantically smashed her head on the wall until her head was bleeding.

"You want to harm her." Situ Yi repeated with a smile.

"Yeah! I want to hurt her!" She cried bitterly, shouting in repentance, "I'm jealous of her! I'm really jealous of her! Everything about her is stronger and better than mine, and she's not afraid of other people's opinions! Everyone loves her She is the one who loves her, and the prince loves her too. I am just a foil for the Knight of Dawn... No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to catch up with her! I will never be able to catch up with her!
Why is she so powerful... I want to pull her down from the altar.I want her to make mistakes, let her down, I can't accept such a person!I can't tolerate such a person by my side! —I hate her! ! ! "

Situ Yi hooked his finger.The manifestation of Jane Diella appeared inexplicably, a radiant Valkyrie, exuding a warm light.He covered the head of the Guardian of Dawn with his pale palm, and took off the Valkyrie's helmet.So the true face of the manifestation appeared in the alley, with a sunny and confident smile on her face, but Jane's own face.

"Your fear is your ugly nature, your longing is your glorious self. But these intentions are distorted, and there is no reason to act righteously in a nightmare born of wounds."

Jane curled up on the ground like a worm, crying and said: "Let me die! Please, don't let me, a vicious person, live in this world!!"

Situ Yi helped her up, and said cordially: "The world is so vast, and everything belongs to it. Good people are like stars shining in the sky, and villains are like dust scattered on the ground. Since there is a chance for the sage to become famous, how can there be a chance for the bad to be invincible?" reason?"

His eyes seemed to have magic power, and reflected into Jane's mind through the blurred vision of tears.

"Life is short, as insignificant as dust. If you abandon it hastily with evil heart, wouldn't you regret it under the nine springs? If you don't follow your heart, understand your nature, and pursue what you really want in your heart."

Wicked people also have room for wicked people to live.

Don't give up your life because of ugliness.

To think, to think.How should the ugly self live in the world...

Find your true way of survival.

"me……"

The blood wet Jane's hair, and dripped down the bangs on her forehead, drawing red scars on her face.The man in white with a high crown smiled encouragingly at her, his voice as sweet as honey.

"What do you want in your heart?"

She tightly covered her face, and spoke out the darkest thoughts in her heart very timidly in a very low voice.

"I want...I want revenge on Charlie...I want to...kill him."

"Why?" Situ Yi asked.

The icy liquid accumulated in the chest cavity drilled a gap between the bone and the flesh.The terrible cold gradually seeped into her body, making her tremble uncontrollably.

"I hate him. I hate him for lying to me. I'm jealous of him. I'm jealous of how many people love him."

Situ Yi smiled and nodded.

The icy liquid surged up all of a sudden, and endless hatred poured out of his chest, like a rising tide.Jane was surprised by herself.Did she hide so many emotions in her heart, like an extremely cold ocean?But she found that she gradually got used to this feeling, she felt comfortable, even natural.

"I'm jealous of Gongsun Ce," she said, "I'm jealous that he can stand beside Alandia instead of me. I'm jealous that he's smarter than me."

Boom.Boom.Cold emotions replaced the blood and flowed through the limbs.She stood up against the wall, her legs were still trembling, she wanted to cry, but she laughed.

"I'm jealous of all of them. I'm jealous of people who are stronger than me, I'm jealous of people who are happier than me. I can't see them happy, I don't hesitate to do anything, even if I hurt myself, I don't want to make them feel better!"

Jane stopped, pressed her chest, and shouted hysterically: "But I am very happy, Mr. Situ...I realize that I am such an ugly person, but I want to laugh!!"

Situ Yi applauded encouragingly, just like the audience applauding the heroine's monologue.

"This is your original mind, your true self! Ask again, what is your heart's desire?"

"I'm jealous of Elandia!" she said excitedly, "I'm jealous of her! I want to hurt her, I want to destroy her, I want to destroy the Dawn Knight!!"

Situ Yi applauded appreciatively, and laughed, and Jane was out of breath from laughing.Their laughter is sneaky and treacherous, but also has a twisted calmness.Situ Yi put his arm around her shoulders, and walked out of the alley with the wildly laughing woman on his arm.

The sun is shining brightly outside the alley, and the world has a new look.It seems that the gods lead his apostles to a new world that only they know.

Jane Diella ran away merrily, without a trace.Situ Yi stood at the entrance of the alley, smiling little by little.He walked for a while and came to the place where Jane and the prince met.He looked across the street calmly, until a group of people who passed by not long ago appeared in sight.

It was Prince Charles, holding a bouquet of flowers, followed by his bodyguard.

Situ Yi moved his fingers slightly, and Charlie's mouth opened and closed mechanically, like a puppet.

"This flower is much more beautiful than before." The prince turned his head and said to the guards.

They quickly moved away and disappeared from Situ Yi's sight.The man in the white coat and tall hat smiled again, very lightly, like a phantom, as if the audience was watching a satisfying play.

"The true feelings born from the heart are far better than the false ones implanted by other hands."

Yin Lu Lord just followed and stood behind him.The young man in black chewed on his friend's words, and said after a long time: "Occasionally I feel afraid of you."

"Why did you say that?" Situ Yi didn't turn his head.

"It's true that those are the emotions they already have, but you have drawn out the emotions, made them stronger, and let them go to the end of their own destruction, becoming the characters in your writing... Everything is arranged by you, and everything is yours. their own choice.

Seeing those butchers who have killed tens of thousands of people, those lunatics who are extremely crazy, I can only ignite my fighting spirit.But seeing you destroy a person's heart, I feel cold in my bones. "The master of Yinlu shook his head, "Because what they are good at is killing people, and what you are good at is how to destroy a person. "

"Is there any difference between high and low villains?" Situ Yi teased.

"That's right... I'm still thinking about these useless things." Master Yinlu laughed at himself, "It's all my wife's benevolence."

The two people, one white and one black, hid themselves in the crowd, and no one noticed their existence.
