The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 130 Conspiracy Theory

The reason why Latarn changed from the prince of Kallia to the hero of Broken Star and the Shield of Sellia was entirely because of his act of star sealing.

Many years ago, while he was practicing gravity magic in Selia, a catastrophe occurred in Galede. Groups of meteorites suddenly fell from the sky. From these meteorites, some kind of mysterious life form was born, which brought... War and destruction.

Latarn chose to stand up and face the invading enemies alone. This was the [Shattered Star War] in history.

There is no clear record of the source of this meteorite invasion.

However, some clues can still be seen from some inconspicuous clues.

A forbidden magic [Eternal Darkness] has been circulated in Celia since ancient times. It has a powerful attracting effect. Perhaps someone secretly released this forbidden magic, attracting the covetousness of the stars.

In this star-shattering war to protect Galede and Selia, the young Latarn used gravity magic to turn the tide, fought alone and won. Not only did he completely smash the falling stars and the alien life in them, he also Drive the invaders back into the universe.

In order to prevent it from invading again, he locked the starry sky so that the stars would no longer flow.

(I suspect there is the help of the Supreme Will, otherwise Latarn alone would be enough to lock all the stars)

This move won Latarn the allegiance of the Galed region, established the Red Lion Legion, and also gave him the name Broken Star.

From a positive perspective, his actions were to protect the country and the people and repel foreign enemies, and were blameless to anyone.

However, for the descendants of Lienia's stargazers, it was a different story.

As mentioned before, the fate of the descendants of the Stargazers is bound to the stars.

The starry sky was blocked, and their fate also stopped flowing.

In other words, in plain English: the future is lost.

All magic based on stargazing has stagnated. Although old magic can still be used, new magic cannot be developed, and all magicians whose fate is affected will not die and their status will not change. (The reason why Selian didn't die)
But most people, including Latarn himself, didn't know that the consequences of blocking the stars would be so serious.

Because he is a member of the Kaliya royal family and a descendant of the Stargazers. If he knew about it, he would definitely not do such a self-defeating thing.

So after Li Ang explained the cause and effect, Latarn looked at the dark starry sky and was stunned for a long time.

Finally, he said blankly: "It turns out that my self-righteous actions have affected so many people."

Li Ang comforted: "This is not your problem, you are also a victim."

Then, he deliberately brought the topic to the sick and thin horse: "You are such a strange horse. There is no other horse with red mane and red tail in the entire border."

Latan glanced at his beloved horse, who was always by his side, and stroked its mane lovingly.

Even though he had lost his mind before and gnawed on the corpse like a wild dog, he had never thought of harming the horse. You can imagine how much he valued it.

"This was a gift from my father when I was a child."

"But as I grew older, it got weaker and weaker."

"In order to keep it with me, I chose to come to Celia and learn gravity magic."

"That's it." Li Ang pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

In fact, he knew the origin of the thin horse very well, but when this kind of thing came out of his mouth, it had a completely different effect than when Latarn said it himself.

After laying a good foundation, Li Ang will start conspiracy theories and deceive Broken Star.

"The red wolf in the college turns out to be your father's, right? It's quite strong."

Latarn's hand stroking the horse paused: "Yes, it was left to his mother before he left."

Considering that Broken Star admired Radagan very much, Li Ang stopped and said: "Before experiencing the war with the Valkyrie, your life seemed to be smooth sailing."

"With the care and love of my father, the support of my mother, I also have a good relationship with my younger siblings."

"Because I wanted to be with my beloved horse through life and death, I happened to learn the gravity magic. And because of the gravity magic, I repel the stars, and in one fell swoop I became the star-shattering hero known to everyone in the border area."

"It's really enviable!"

After hearing this, Latarn's face was full of emotion. The first half of his life was indeed as Li Ang said, every step he took was just right, as if it was arranged in advance by God.

Arranged in advance? !

The uncle's resolute face instantly froze, as if he noticed something strange.

Li Ang ignored the change in his expression and continued to talk to himself: "Except for you, I have never seen anyone else who can use gravity magic."

Perhaps because he had just escaped from the corruption and felt relaxed after a disaster, Latarn was now very willing to talk to others, so he said truthfully: "You have only seen little, just like the teacher [White King] who taught me magic. Their species has a natural ability to harness gravity."

Speaking of this, Latarn suddenly closed his mouth and looked in a trance again.

The White Kings are an ancient race of stone-skinned people born from falling meteorites.

It was equivalent to Xingchen teaching him how to repel Xingchen.

Although Latarn is usually bold and informal, he is not stupid. If you think about it for a moment, you will know that there are many doubts in this.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Li Ang directly saw:

"Because you blocked the stars, you indirectly led to civil strife in the academy. The Calian royal family collapsed, and your sister Lani died as a result. From now on, the Golden Dynasty is the only one in the family and can sit back and relax."

"You protected Galede, but destroyed Lienia."

"As a pyroxene mage, I implore you, please give us the stars back!"

"Just think of it because I help you suppress corruption." Li Ang burst into tears with sincerity, just like a native Lienian.

Latarn believed it and sighed.

Guilt, self-blame, regret, all kinds of emotions kept surging in my heart.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally slapped his thigh: "That's fine, I'll give you the stars back!"

Li Ang was extremely excited on the surface, and he was even more happy in his heart.

"Don't worry, I know that releasing the stars will cost a lot, but I will never let you suffer. I will do everything possible to solve the corruption in your body."

"Also, I have something else to ask you."

"Do you want to be a king?"

"Just like your father Radagon, become the new King of Elden!"

Latarn did not answer immediately, but looked at Galid who was shrouded in the fog of corruption, thought for a long time, and then murmured:

"I used to think about it, even in my dreams, but now"

"Now I want to stay in Galede to atone for the mistakes I made and seek justice for the dead soldiers."

"What happens after that?" Li Ang said in a persuasive way: "What should you do to drive corruption out of Galede?"

Latarn held it in for a long time, then said in frustration, "I don't know."

"A fool like me who can be easily taken advantage of may really not be qualified to be a king."

Li Ang looked at Broken Star, whose face was full of distress, and decided to tell him another truth.

Then he briefly told him about Meng's kidnapping of Michaela, which then triggered the Valkyrie's southern expedition.

"Okay, let me tell you why Marlenia had to pass through Galede. It turns out it's because of this rat in the gutter!"

Latarn fell into a rage, his vicious facial features twisted into a ball, and his teeth creaked.

He slammed the sand dune under him: "I want to find him, crush his bones and spread his ashes!"

"General, calm down." Li Ang advised: "Mengge's problem is easy to solve. The main thing is how to deal with the relationship between you and Marlenia."

Latarn glanced at him sideways and asked in confusion: "Are you the lobbyist of Master Huoshi or the lobbyist of Malenia? Why do you still care about such things?"

Li Ang smiled lightly: "Both."

"To be honest, General, the golden needle you used came from Marlenia."

Latarn sneered a few times: "I guess so. No one except the brother and sister will study how to suppress corruption, but what can I do? Do you want me to take out the needle and return it to her?"

"That's not necessary." Li Ang explained: "I mean to let the rotten knights in Galede leave on their own, which not only repays Marlenia, but also solves the hidden dangers in the territory, and at the same time reduces the defensive pressure of the Red Lion Army. "

"Achieve three birds with one stone, why not do it."

There were too many casualties between Zunfu and Red Lion. Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties, so he had no intention of trying to persuade them to reconcile in the first place.

Latarn laughed loudly after hearing what Li Ang said: "You are really a qualified lobbyist."

"Join the Red Lion, we are short of talents like you! Don't you want to learn gravity magic? I will teach you everything!"

"If there are any other requirements, I will try my best to meet them."

Li Ang never knew what politeness meant: "Since the general said so, I will make a request."

Latarn waved his hand: "You say, as long as I definitely agree."

"I want your big rune." Li Ang said without hesitation.

"This" Latarn was silent for a moment.

Although I just said that I lack the qualifications to become a king, I still have some expectations after all. The big rune is an invitation to the throne, how can I give up casually.

"What do you want Big Rune for? I advise you not to have unrealistic ideas."

"The road to becoming a king is not as simple as you think."

Latarn tried to dissuade her with earnest words, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed as if he was talking about himself.

"I don't want to become a king myself, but I want to help you become a king." Li Ang said with a half-smile: "If you continue to hold the Great Rune, even if you become a king, you will still be a puppet of the Supreme Will."

"You won't forget what happened to Godfrey in the end, right?"

"I'm talking about getting rid of the control of the Supreme Will and becoming the true ruler of the junction!"

Ratan admitted that his heart was moved, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he grabbed his red hair vigorously, looking extremely tangled.

"I'll think about it again and get back to you as soon as possible."

Li Ang looked calm: "Don't worry, such an important matter should really be thought through before making a decision."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to Red Lion City first." Latarn chose to give up thinking: "I am happy today, and you must have a good drink with me!"
