Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 191 History of the Kingdom

Chris waited for a moment and saw that Steve made no move, so he tried his best to turn his head to King Vinia and shouted:

"'The Dragon of Justice'! Oris Hed!"

These two words seemed to have magic power, able to stop time. The empty palace became silent for an instant, and the guard also stopped where he was without any movement.

"What did you say?"

Vinia walked towards them with steady steps, her tone was calm, but it contained a majesty that could not be violated.

Both Steve's and Chris' legs felt a little shaky at the same time. The former lowered his head, but the latter relied on his strong spirituality to not give in to the pressure and stood up straight again.

But out of politeness, he lowered his head slightly to show respect.

But the guard next to him was different. He lowered his head deeply and stared directly at the ground, showing great respect.

Chris and Steve exchanged a look, reading each other's thoughts.

John Vinia must be an Extraordinary, and his rank is not low, either the "Judge" pathway or the "Black Emperor" pathway.

"Look up and look at me."

The magnetic voice reached Chris's ears, and the voice contained an irresistible pressure.

Chris looked up at Vinia, not because he was affected by coercion, but because he simply wanted to see what His Majesty the King looked like.

The moment their eyes met, Chris froze on the spot.

Vinya has curly black hair parted in the middle, extremely deep brown pupils, and his eyebrows are full of vicissitudes of life, and there are two slightly upturned mustaches under his nose.

He looks exactly like Sir Vinya!
Chris looked at Steve beside him, who nodded, with slight surprise in his eyes.

"Why, strangers, do you know me?"

Nothing seemed strange about Vinia, which confused Chris even more.

If Vinia had previous memories, he would definitely have discovered the true identities of himself and Steve, the two strangers, without asking.

But now it seems that Vinia was born and raised in this world in the painting, and she has no doubts about them.

Has he lost his memory?
"No, Your Majesty the King, we don't know you." Steve came back to his senses and replied respectfully.

Vinia didn't look at him, his eyes stayed on Chris's face, and he asked lightly:

"Stranger, what did you just say?"

Chris hesitated for a moment and said:

"'The Dragon of Justice', Oris Hed..."

Vinia stared at Chris until his heart went crazy. After a long time, he asked in a joking tone:

"Outlander, do you know it? Do you know this so-called 'Overlord of the Sea, Emperor of the Land, and King of the Sky'?"

"Your Majesty the King, you are..."

Vinya's attitude towards the "Dragon of Justice" is different from that of the shepherd. He seems to look down on the "Dragon of Justice".

How is this going?

Vinia saw the confusion in Chris's eyes. He clapped his hands and ordered the guard beside him:

"Untie these two strangers and take them to the balcony." "As you command, Your Majesty."

The guard did not raise his head and respectfully accepted the order. When Vinia turned to leave, he immediately stepped forward to loosen the bonds of the two.

Now that the king had ordered them to be loosened, Steve returned to his usual cynical appearance. He did not remember the slap from the guard officer and asked in a low voice:
"Why is His Majesty the King's reaction to the 'Dragon of Justice' Oris Hed so huge? Could it be..."

The armor on the guard's body jingled, and he paused. He wanted to change the subject and not answer the question directly, but he felt that he had just slapped Steve and felt sorry for it, so he replied:
"Actually, the king doesn't like the 'Dragon of Justice', but..."

He sighed and continued:

"Excuse me, this is not a topic I can discuss."

Steve nodded, did not embarrass the guard officer anymore, and rubbed his wrist with obvious strangulation marks:
"Lead the way."

Chris and Steve followed the escort officer out of the side door of the hall, walked through several long corridors, climbed dozens of stairs, and finally reached the balcony.

In fact, the guard turned around and returned halfway, because after passing through the corridor, there was only one road leading to the balcony, and there were no other roads.

The so-called "balcony" is actually an open-air platform where you can overlook the entire city and the distant hills, as well as the rolling mountains beyond.

Vinya held on to the railing and turned her back to the two of them. When she heard their footsteps approaching and then disappearing, she said lightly:

"Outlander, do you all know what the 'Dragon of Justice' has done?"

Chris and Steve looked at each other, and the former said:

"Your Majesty, we all know.

The 'Dragon of Justice' Oris Hed once helped Venia I resist the attacks of aliens and established this country.

In return, the kingdom needs to pay tribute to Him twelve young and beautiful girls every January. "

After listening to Chris's statement, Vinia remained silent for a long time. He looked up at the night sky and the twinkling stars. After a long time, he replied calmly:
"This is not the case, the 'Dragon of Justice' is not actually just.

What the people hear now about Orished saving us and helping my ancestors build the country are actually fictions and lies.

In order to maintain the safety of my people and to maintain this country, I can only convey this to them and create an image of a 'Dragon of Justice' in front of them.

In fact, Orished is a heinous dragon of evil. "

Vinia turned around, with anger that was difficult to hide in her eyes:
"If Orished 'saved' us, it would be better to say that he defeated the other dragons and became our master."

"Forgive me for the offence, Your Majesty the King," Steve scratched his head, "If Orishead is a heinous dragon, then he should ask you to pay tribute to him twelve girls every month, instead of just one year. Pay tribute once.”

What a bastard...

Chris glanced at Steve, filled with contempt.

Weinia was also stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyebrows and said calmly:
"If it is what you said, then I will lead all my people to rush up the mountain and fight it to the death. Either it dies or I die."

He looked up:

"It's not like I haven't done this before."

"Failed?" Chris asked cautiously.

Vinia nodded:
"It wasn't me, it was my great-great-great-grandfather. He once led a troop of more than 1000 people, fully armed. On the night of a certain 'tribute day', he followed the tribute team into the mountains and forests and attacked its lair."

Vinia sighed, with disappointment, unwillingness and loss hidden in her eyes:
"However, the attack failed. All the more than 1000 people, including my great-great-great-grandfather, died, and not a single hair of Orished was harmed."
