Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 172: The name of taboo
Sacker's voice fell.
The whole passage fell silent instantly.
Thyls could hardly describe the atmosphere at that moment.
But he saw clearly that the guard prisoners reacted differently: Brie seemed to be struck by thunder, trembling all over, sobbing, Tardin closed his eyes bitterly, his expression was painful, Cannon and Nye looked dumb. , As if expected.
Little Barney looked at the ground blankly, motionless.
"So you still said it."
Semuel sneered, as if the long-term resentment had been expressed.
"Sacker, you."
Sack Elm said nothing.
"No..." Belletti's weapon was raised several times and put down several times, seemingly unbelievable:
"Really, is it really you, sir?"
His eyebrows are tangled together, his expression is indignant, and he wants to ask every companion for help.
Naki looked back at him blankly, shaking his head subconsciously.
Quickline seemed to be quite frightened, he whispered to Thales in a low voice: "My God... they are right, you star people have so many thoughts..."
"The Blade Guard doesn't have so much shit..."
Tyles tugged at the corners of his mouth stiffly and ignored him.
"Obviously, when I questioned him earlier, his condition was wrong."
Semir interjected coldly, with an inexplicable sour tone:
"And now..."
"Does anyone have any doubts?"
The guard prisoners were silent for a while.
Looking at all this, Thales suddenly understood.
As early as when Barney and the others came out on the fast rope, seven guard prisoners saw through the impostor "Huiya".
The seven ruthless characters did not choose to kill the crappy liar immediately, because the clever fast rope also provided another piece of information:
Sackel is hunting down the prince.
It's ironic. In a way, it was the quick-rope talk that saved his life.
Therefore, the seven guard prisoners kept up with the fast rope with a different mentality, not just to fulfill their vows and protect the blood of Can Xing.
It is to confirm their suspicions.
Confirm whether the nightmare that has tortured them for more than ten years is on Thaker's body.
Now, they finally got their wish.
Nye's mean voice sounded:
"Turn yourself in, Saker."
"No matter what you are because of, follow us to your Majesty-no matter who it is, surrender to them."
The logistics officer seems to be trying very hard to restrain himself, his face darkened when he said the word "Your Majesty":
"Go to clarify the truth for the guard brothers who have been stigmatized for eighteen years, whether they are alive or not, and wash away their grievances."
"Then receive your judgment..."
"And punishment."
He bit out the last word hard.
As the focal point of the court, the penalty knight himself seemed extremely composed.
Hearing Nye's words, he paused for a while before speaking silently.
"I can't."
The faces of the guards changed.
Some people even touch the weapon subconsciously.
Sac'el's face was immersed in the darkness, not real, only the sinner's mark on his forehead was exposed to the fire, which was very strange.
His eyes reflect the faint flames, looking at Thales, making him feel uncomfortable:
"As I said, I must finish what I haven't finished."
Unfinished business.
Semuel hummed softly:
"It seems to be resolved by violence."
But Thaker remained motionless.
As if he has sunk into a bottomless abyss, he has never heard, let alone answered.
This made Thales, who was already nervous, even more disturbed.
Taldin, who kept his head down, seemed unable to stand it anymore. He stepped forward and roared:
"The unfinished shit!"
"The Watchman Thaker!"
Taldin's roar spread through the passage.
Faced with such a calm penalty knight, Tardin seemed to be irritated, he was extremely irritable:
"Do you really know what you are doing?"
"Are you crazy 18 years ago!"
Sackel moved slightly.
Eighteen years ago...was it crazy?
He raised his head, revealing a calm and watery face in the light, his eyes floating towards the empty void.
"Maybe."
He twitched the corners of his mouth, not smiling, as if speaking to someone invisible.
I must do this.
Required.
When Tardin saw this, he was even more angry:
"You bastard..."
But a steady call interrupted everyone's thoughts:
"Quiet."
It's Barney.
The guards turned their heads, either angry, tired, or painfully waiting for their chief vanguard to speak.
The latter's eyes were blurred, and he looked at the ground numbly, motionless.
Only the undulating chest proved his sobriety.
"Sacuel," Jr. Barney slowly raised his head, but his voice was numb and hollow:
"Do you remember how the old captain died in the Hall of Stars?"
Sackel's breath stopped slightly.
Old Captain...
Hearing this name, everyone in the guard, including Samuel, was strangely silent.
Thyls smelled a faint sorrow in it.
"Do you remember how Tony died after exhaustion..."
"You remember my father, remember how he faced multiple enemies..."
Little Barney spoke, and it seemed that he couldn't continue.
Sacuel was silent for a long time, his heavy breathing is clearly audible.
A few seconds later, Barney husky, his throat, one meal after another:
"There are other people, many, many people, those who lived and died with us, who thought they could entrust their lives and wealth to us, all died in that year."
"Die by your betrayal."
Sachel loosened the handle of the axe lightly, and the axe hit the ground heavily.
"Boom!"
He leaned his entire weight on the axe, his chest undulating slightly.
"Of course, I remember."
The shoulders of the penalty knight trembled slightly:
"I remember them all."
Little Barney stared at him blankly, slowly twisting his cheeks.
"You remember."
He looked at Thacker with an incredible expression:
"And you just confessed so simply:'Betrayer, Thacker'?"
Little Barney's voice trembled, but as the words progressed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Sunset, the way you look... seems to be saying, ‘yes, I stole your lunch’."
Sackel opened his mouth.
But Barney said, bends down deeply, as if thinking of something interesting, he laughed: "'stole your lunch'..."
"Hahahahaha..."
The laughter is awful and harsh, echoing in the surrounding walls.
But Sackel didn't laugh.
The guards didn't laugh either.
"Hahaha..."
Tels felt that the atmosphere surrounding him at this moment was like Barney's smile: extremely bitter.
Barney finally laughed enough.
He straightened his waist slowly, but his smile as if pinched out still hung on his face:
"You look like you, you make me feel—Oh my god, it’s like the eighteen years we spent in prison, like thirty-seven dead guard brothers, even Samuel, like the pain they endured Torture is meaningless."
The faces of the guards were sad, and Naki even covered his forehead in pain.
Barney’s smile became chilling:
"Because for you, it's just a mention after a full meal, right."
Sacuel pursed his lips.
Little Barney takes a step forward, his smile remains the same, but a deep sadness flows in his words:
"Master the punishment, guard the inheritance, you should be our role model, Thacker."
"How many young people in the Guard regard you as an idol and pass on your deeds by word of mouth. How many people want to chase you, defeat you, and surpass you?"
Beletti looked sadly at Thacker and shook her head slowly.
The penalty knight looked in a daze for a moment, and his face grew paler.
Little Barney pushed the heat in his eyes back into his eyes, and his tone became aggressive:
"You should have been the target of every imperial guard."
He beat his chest hard:
"Include me!"
Include me.
Barney trembling, his smile turned into frost:
"But you chose such an ending, to bid farewell to your guard career and return your guard oath?"
Sacuel took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly.
Seems afraid of what you will see when you open your eyes.
"More than that..."
Little Barney stepped forward, with a strong voice:
"You push your Majesty into the trap of death, and you will never be overborn."
"Push the kingdom into the abyss of chaos, and can't afford to sink."
"Push your companions into the darkness of filth, and you will never recover."
"You engraved our life's guard vows, step on the soles of your feet, and discard them like shoes."
Tyles looked at the confrontation between the two highest-ranking midfielders with complex expressions.
The doubts in my heart keep increasing.
Sackel's shoulders are getting lower and lower, and Thales can even see his eyebrows twitching, as if experiencing a nightmare.
Little Barney looked at him in disgust:
"Tell me, Saker, how do you fall asleep every night?"
"Especially when your hands are stained with the blood of your companions, your shoulders are burdened with the monarch's blood debt, and your mind is full of blood from the past..."
"Every time you breathe, ask whether the fishy smell on your body feels pungent!"
Finally, upon hearing these words, the pale-faced Thaker opened his eyes like a nightmare!
He couldn't hold his body anymore, kneeling on one knee with a fighting axe!
"Ah ah ah--"
The penalty knight roared in pain.
"I know!"
He clenched the handle of the axe tightly with his right hand and pressed his forehead with his left hand. The twitching between his brows became more intense, as if he was doing the most intense struggle.
Everyone silently looked at Saker like this, without a word.
Thyls sighed in his heart, knowing that the spirit of the penalty knight was actually not stable.
He is afraid...
See "Another World" again.
But everything has a reason. I don’t know why his other world was made and how it was expressed?
Thinking of this, Thales' heart suddenly moved.
Wait.
This may be...a breakthrough?
"I know..."
After several seconds, Thacker's tone became humble, more like a pleading.
"But I have to do this..."
"It must be done..."
He opened his eyes, stroked his head, and kept repeating these words, and his emotions gradually calmed down:
"Must..."
But in the next instant, a gleaming blade pierced through the air!
Tails was shocked.
Wait a minute, he still has something to ask!
Just listen to Naki's voiceless opening:
"No, Barney!"
At the moment, Saker, who was in pain, was like a beast that had violated his territory, subconsciously swinging his axe!
"Clang!"
He took two steps backwards during the battle of steel, but embarrassed in time to fend off this deadly raid!
The penalty knight panted heavily and looked at Barney, who was holding a sword and trembling in front of him, with flushed eyes.
No.
Thyls frowned.
Can't let the situation go on like this-the hatred and anger between them will drown out reason.
Not to mention...
He still wants to know.
Thinking of this, Thales suddenly said: "Sacker!"
"What do you ‘must’?"
The prince's interruption made Barney's sword beating.
Naki couldn't help but glance back at him.
Tyles ignored the gaze of others and spoke to himself.
"What on earth do you have for'must' betrayal?"
To make Thackerel speak... Now, taking advantage of his emotional instability and mental instability, this is the only chance.
Just listen to Thales's cold voice:
"Let you'must' do that?"
"Because of the'Dragon Breaker'? Because of the weapon that made the twin emperors jealous?"
As early as the guard prisoners questioned, Thales had already felt vaguely about their problems.
The Scarlet Year.
For a long time, this piece of past history has shrouded Thales' life like a haze, and it seems that there is a line in the dark that holds his destiny far away.
Every moment, it brings him the panic and fear of drifting and drifting like a lone boat crossing the sea.
So, I don't know where to start, a desire and impulse to wait for the truth of the Scarlet Year arises spontaneously.
They flooded like a tide, grabbing Thales's brain irresistibly and burning his heart.
What happened in the Scarlet Year?
What does the death of the stars of the Royal Family mean?
Follow the dragon breaker, follow the clean world, follow the disaster...
What does it have to do with the unborn self at that time?
Dragon Breaker...
Sackel seemed to think of something when he heard the words, but he just looked at Thales idiotically, but didn't answer.
When Thales saw this, he could only grit his teeth and recall the scene when he first saw Thackerel.
This is the only chance.
A chance to dig out the truth!
"Remember those rotting skins with maggots and flies, Thacker!" Thales said coldly.
Face?
This sentence is inexplicable.
But Barney was surprised to see: After hearing the other party's words, the steel-like Sackel suddenly shook!
At that moment, the penalty knight trembled, dripping with cold sweat.
His eyes widened and he looked at Thales in disbelief.
Tyles suppressed the unbearable heart, and continued to add material from the "other world":
"Yes, think about it, there are countless heads on the tip of the spear, all over the ground, think about what they say to you every night."
Thyls speeds up his speech, hoping that the other party will be softened as soon as possible:
"Is that the guard brothers who were killed by you?"
Under everyone's incredible eyes, following Thales' words, the terrifying penalty knight seemed to have returned to his nightmare, taking a step back subconsciously, staring at the dark void with horror and fear.
Except for Semir, the first time I saw someone like Saker was shocked.
"And the whole ceiling, the tongue stretched, the eyes rolled, the hanging body swaying on your head...and the baby crying all the time, never stopped, all of which you see and hear Are you there yet?"
"Dang Cang!"
Sac'el's axe fell to the ground.
Everyone saw in amazement: He hugged his head in both hands, his face was blue, and he knelt and panted.
"Tell me, Saker, what happened eighteen years ago?"
Thyls bit his head and raised his voice:
"You must betray the trust of the king, you must kill Can Xing’s blood, you must kill your colleagues, you must sacrifice innocent blood, you must tarnish your honor, to feel the face of this day and night. The terrible days of face, head, hanging corpse and boundless baby cry?"
The next moment, Sackel seemed to be unable to stand it anymore. He clutched his head severely and screamed:
"Ah!"
Everyone was taken aback.
"You don't understand!"
Sackel put down his right hand and beat the ground painfully:
"I must do this..."
He twisted his face and looked at the void with panic: "It must be done!"
Tyles clenched his fists and took a decisive step forward despite the obstacle of the fast rope:
"Why?"
The prince shouted angrily:
"Why, why, Saker? Why betrayed?"
He screamed:
"As the last Canstar bloodline, in the name of the dead Canxing stars, Thales Canxing is here to order you—tell me!"
Thyls was a little excited, his voice echoing all around.
The people of the former royal guard were all surprised, and started looking at the strange boy again with rare eyes.
Tessie·Chanxing.
Hearing the familiar surname, Sackel trembling violently, almost mentally broke, raised his head blankly and looked at Thales.
His eyes are helpless and lonely, making Thales feel uncomfortable.
But the teenage strategy seems to have worked.
"I have to do this," Sackel said foolishly:
"It's because of the former king Eddie."
At this moment, everyone present, including the Royal Guard, Thales, and the fast rope, were all stunned.
What?
"The King?"
The first king...
Eddie II?
Thyls was surprised to feel that he had caught something, and tentatively asked:
"What you did... Did the king give you an order?"
Sacuel shook fiercely again.
"No, because the king..."
I saw him shaking his head in despair:
"Because the first king is not the first king..."
Thyls was taken aback.
This sentence is still so confusing and puzzling.
"What do you mean?"
Barney Jr. looked suspiciously at Thacker, who was in an obviously abnormal state:
"What are you talking about?"
Several seconds later, Thacker's gasp slowly receded, and the pain and madness in his eyes slowly recovered.
After experiencing the violent madness just now, Thacker stood up with a little effort, shook his head, and returned to calm.
The awake penalty knight froze first.
Soon, Thacker looked at Thales with complicated eyes:
"You..."
From his expression, he seemed to realize what he just said.
But Thales has no intention of showing weakness.
The prince took a deep breath and continued:
"What do you mean, Thaker? Why is the first king not the first king?"
Sacuel looked at Thales faintly.
Unconsciously, the young man who stood awkwardly among the guard prisoners a moment ago has changed from a hostage to a protected one.
Sackel closed his eyes and finally sighed.
After all, it's a brilliant star.
Just like them.
He chuckled, as if he had let go of something in his heart.
Under the suspicion and vigilant gaze of everyone, Thacker opened his eyes and spoke slowly:
"As you know, after Queen Natalie died of dystocia, the dedicated Majesty Eddie was single for many years."
"Until that day."
Listening to the old stories that the old people of the stars knew, Thales didn't react for a while.
But Barney frowned slightly:
"That day?"
Sackel sneered, but rather bitterly: "That day."
"That day, His Majesty Eddie met an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years outside the palace."
An old friend?
Thyls still has questions on his face, but some of the former royal guards have changed their faces.
The penalty knight looks sad, recalling an unforgettable past:
"His Majesty, regardless of the opposition of the important ministers and His Royal Highness, insisted on taking that lady into the Fuxing Palace and marrying her as his new queen."
Taldin, standing in front of Thales, reacted, his eyes widened suddenly:
"You said..."
Sackel nodded silently.
His boring voice echoed in the cold and dim underground, full of dilapidation and vicissitudes.
"In this way, after a very hasty and controversial wedding, we ushered in the new mistress of the Fuxing Palace, the second queen of His Majesty Eddie."
"New Queen? Queen Fiosa?" Barney thought, remembering.
Fiosa?
Why never heard of it?
This strange name made Thales puzzled for a while, he looked at the fast rope, who also had an expression of "who is she?"
Strange.
Thyls clearly remembered that six years ago, he had not seen this name in the burial chamber of the Canopy Star Royal Family.
Hearing this, Semir couldn't help but interrupt:
"What does this have to do with her?"
Sacuel picked up his axe, turned around and glanced at Semir, repeating tauntingly:
"What does it have to do with her?"
At that moment, the expression of the penalty knight suddenly became severe.
"She is the originator of all bad luck," his voice was chilling, with Qiu Shuang's sense of murder:
"Whether it is the old captain or Big Barney, even Lord Hanson hasn't noticed."
Barney and Belletti exchanged glances, and an ominous feeling arose in each other's hearts.
Sakeel said and said, as if he was immersed in his own memories:
"But what I should notice, as the Guardian in charge of inheriting classics... I should have noticed a long time ago."
He slowly squeezed the weapon in his hand and tightened his cheeks:
"I should warn him, I should persuade him."
"But I am dereliction of duty."
The knight showed unwilling resentment and pain.
Thyles felt more and more nervous:
"What do you mean? What did you notice?"
Sackel didn't answer immediately.
He raised his gaze faintly, and gave Thales a glance, which made him more nervous.
"One day, in the vast heritage scroll of the Royal Guard, by chance, I found ~IndoMTL.com~Unconsciously, everyone in the room stared with breathlessness.
Waiting for the penalty knight's answer.
Sackel stared at Thales closely for three seconds.
"I found out that our highly questioned Majesty Queen, Eddie’s second wife, she is not called'Fiosa' at all, and she is not recorded in the family tree of the stars, some so-called The descendants of the declining nobility."
Sackel’s dull voice resounded, but it was full of hatred and anger:
"In fact, she has lived longer than everyone in the Royal Guard combined..."
"As early as a thousand years ago, in the years before the empire collapsed, she was known for being good at manipulating people's hearts and creating illusions."
At that second, the audience was moved.
What?
A thousand years ago?
Making people's hearts?
Thyls was stunned.
Just listen to the penalty knight with deep fear and inexplicable awe, hissing:
"At least six hundred years ago, the ancestors of the stars used another name to call her."
"A forbidden name I can only find in the Elder Scrolls."
The name of taboo?
In an instant, everyone's nerves were tense.
In the next second, Sach'el bit out the name that made many people look ugly:
"Sense Magician."
"Freland."
