Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 180: Not a coincidence
Brothers...cannibalism?
Little Barney paused, his eyes wandering.
As if thinking back to the past.
After hearing this, the members of the guard performed differently:
Semir snorted, Belletti and Nye were silent, Taldin snorted coldly, Brie squeaked out anxiously, and Cannon, who was walking at the end, even let out a gag.
I saw Naki holding the torch in pain, and the flames flickered:
"Barney, please...after we go out, can we just... forget it?"
Little Barney’s brow furrows deeper and deeper, it seems that I can’t understand:
"Forget...?"
Naki gave a hum, the words spread in the passage, with a seemingly empty feeling:
"You know, find a place, quietly, spend the rest of your life, forget about Saker, forget about him..."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Thales suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
Sure enough, the next moment, Barney's voice suddenly rose!
"Forget him?"
His footsteps paused for a few seconds, and the team behind him was also chaotic.
"What about the thirty-seven brothers who died in prison?"
Just listen to Barney humming bitterly:
"What about the people who died in the Fuxing Palace that year?"
"The old captain, Tony, my father, what do they do?"
He clutched his sword and shield tightly, with unspeakable misery and anger in his voice:
"Your Majesty and Your Highness...what do they do?"
"What about the blood that the kingdom shed back then?"
Naki was robbed by him, and was slightly silent.
Beletti patted Barney Jr. on the shoulder worriedly, and the latter shook his head to signal that he was okay, and then continued to move to follow Semir.
However, just when the worried Thales thought everything was back to normal, Nakey's faint voice came again:
"But Barney, have you ever thought about the people who died, they may..."
Naki paused, with a deep intolerance:
"They may not want to see us repaying such grievances and fratricide... Maybe they just want to rest well, just want us to be safe and stable, just want everything to go with the wind..."
Thyls frowned.
The atmosphere is getting worse.
"Naki," Tardin couldn't help but speak:
"Stop talking."
Naki was silent.
There was a light snort from Barney.
"Go with the wind..."
He looked deeply at the torch beside him, slowly becoming confused, and firming up again:
"When my father broke his arms and bleeds out of blood, he opened his painful eyes like a wild dog on the side of the road, lying silently on the red-stained floor tiles, hidden under the pile of heavy corpses. At that time, he didn't look like he was going with the wind."
Little Barney’s words were full of anger and pain.
The breathing in the passage became disordered.
"There are more than forty of us. For more than ten years, the torture, everything that we have endured, the pain we have faced..."
"For more than ten years, the illusions you have seen with your eyes closed, the past dreamed, the future imagined..."
"Think about it again, Sackel is the culprit of all this, but he escaped the blame, deceived the world, and got away with it..."
"Ask yourself, Nakey, you guys..."
"Really make these all go with the wind?"
"Then feel at ease and live the rest of my life with confidence?"
Everything he said made everyone in the guard slightly moved.
"No."
"At least I can't."
"And this is not brotherhood."
Little Barney said softly.
"When he, when Sackel abandoned his oath, betrayed the king, and raised the butcher knife to us," Barney drew out his sword and said coldly, as if he had abandoned the last touch of emotion:
"He is no longer our sibling brother."
The cold inside and outside of his words made Naki shake slightly.
"We will do everything we can to find him, catch him, hunt him, no matter the mountains, rivers, oceans, corners of the world, **** on earth," Barney’s sword dashed across the wall with his steps The same terrible rubbing sound as his tone:
"We will force Saker to answer, let him witness his destiny and see how his sins and debts were retributed one by one..."
At that moment, Barney gritted his teeth:
"The betrayer must pay the price."
Naki’s voice sounded again, this time with a touch of anxiety and pleading: "But, Barney!"
"Neither your father nor the old captain would want such revenge..."
"Naky!" Tardin seemed to be unable to stand Naky's untimely persuasion anymore:
"Shut up!"
But Barney seems to be provoked by Naki, he sneered:
"Vengeance?"
"No, this is more than just revenge."
Little Barney looked frosty at the darkness ahead:
"This is the responsibility of us survivors, our duty, our burden, and the meaning of our life."
"Only in this way can we face our hearts without shame and regret in the days and nights in the future."
Naki didn't respond seriously anymore, he just swallowed his throat and said in a low mood:
"Really."
Slightly confused and sad.
At this moment, Semir's footsteps stopped.
"We found it."
He is hoarse and authentic.
Thyls was surprised, and quickly looked up, only to find that they had come to a brand new room.
The people also recovered from the unpleasant conversation just now and looked around in amazement—even as prisoners, they never had the opportunity to visit the bottom of the prison.
Under the shining of the fire, the room appeared to be very empty. There was nothing on the ground except the collapsed waste wood and stones. On the corner of the wall, there was an empty shelf with unknown quality.
Obviously, there used to be countless shelves piled up here, storing incomparably abundant supplies.
The storage room of the Alchemy Tower.
But now...
"Where is the exit?" Little Barney looked at the empty walls, wondering.
Semir looked serious and walked straight to the wall opposite the passage:
"Did you see this wall?"
"If Ricky is right, this is a door."
Semir let out a breath, excitement in his eyes:
"The exit is hidden here. When the entire underground bunker is unfortunately lost, after the remaining mages retreat to the storage room, there will be a last resort to escape."
Everyone, including Thales, came up in surprise and touched the dusty wall.
It has a rough touch and a long history.
This huge, empty wall without any joints is actually...
A door?
"Now, we just need to find that special, hidden keyhole," Semir said hopefully:
"Open this door..."
He turned to Thales:
"Since you can release them, Your Royal Highness."
"I believe the key must be with you?"
Everyone looked to Thales.
Semir's aggressive eyes made Thales very uncomfortable.
But the important thing is now, the boy just snorted softly, took out the strange long key from his arms and handed it to Semir.
An accident happened.
As soon as Thales stretched out his palm, his other hand was quickly cut from the side!
Under the eyes of the royal guard, the key was hacked away!
Everyone was taken aback by the sudden change.
"Boom!"
The person who snatched the key stepped without hesitation, slammed Nai and Tardin away, turned back and raised the sword after a distance, panting and looking at the stunned crowd.
What?
Thyls looked at the man in surprise.
He believed that the guards did not fail to react, but never expected...
Why... would it be him?
But Barney was the first to react. He subconsciously called the name of the robber:
"Nakey!"
"What are you doing?"
In front of Thales’ eyes, he was shocked to see the royal guard’s words, Nakey, who has always looked lively and interesting, was holding the key of the dungeon in one hand and the long sword in the other, looking at the guard’s tremblingly. The rest.
It seems to have drawn a line from them.
Ty Naki.
It's him.
"I'm sorry, Barney," I saw Naki shivered, his face was full of pain and hesitation, and with complicated hatred, looking straight at Barney:
"But..."
Naki breathes tremblingly, his eyes are hollow:
"But I can't, I can't let you open this door."
Thyls, who was surprised, noticed that Nakey was very abnormal at this moment.
His face was pale and his eyes were gray, contrary to his humor and optimism when he first saw him.
It's like changing a person.
Little Barney looked at him in disbelief:
"What?"
Naki took a deep breath, his eyebrows twitched, his cheeks twitched, as if he was struggling with something, and his words were neither coherent nor logical:
"Sorry! Everyone!"
I saw him cry out, and the tip of his sword tremblingly pointed at everyone:
"But I can't let you guys, especially Barney... go up."
This incident stunned the rest of the Royal Guard.
Semir's brows were tightly frowning, and Tardin and Nai looked at each other worriedly, Brie's whimper became more irritable, Cannon seemed to have seen a ghost, and Belletti gritted his teeth.
"Naki...what's wrong with you? Are you sick again?" Tardin tried to tighten the tension in his tone, and asked tentatively.
Sick?
Tyles felt tight.
Naki looked at the nervous Tardin, first with pain and regret in his eyes.
After a second, his twitching cheeks bend away and he smiles strangely:
"Haha, maybe, but I think I am... I can't take it anymore."
Can't stand it?
Looking at the extremely abnormal Nakey, everyone in the guard was in an uproar.
Beletti tried to get close to him quietly, but was forced back by Nakey's shaking sword.
"Naki, what happened?" Nai asked gloomily.
Naki shivered again, he glanced at the key in his hand and looked at Barney again.
"What happened? What happened?"
He raised his head with an ugly and painful smile:
"I just, I can't, I can't let the idiot Barney go out and screw everything... obviously everything is fine..."
"I can't let him go up like this... do everything he says."
"Whether it is for the living or the dead."
Little Barney heard the words and looked at him with an iron face.
Thyls still looked at Naki in shock.
This is the member of the front guard who came to him first in the rescue.
A moment ago, he was quite normal, right? He is still arguing with Barney about revenge or letting go, but why now...
"Nakey?"
According to his previous experience to appease Thackerel, Thales handed the long sword to the fast rope, carefully raised his hands, and signaled that he was not hostile, gentle and authentic:
"Listen to me, calm down, okay? So what do you see..."
But it's okay that he didn't speak. When he spoke, Naki trembled again, and suddenly turned his head to Thales!
"His Royal Highness, why?" Naki's face was distorted, and these words were slightly crying.
Thyls was stunned.
In front of his eyes, Naki was looking at him with an expression that he could not imagine.
Like...believers crying for redemption.
It's like...powerless mortals disappointed in life.
The eyes are filled with despair and conflict.
It made him wonder.
"What and why?" Thales asked subconsciously.
Nakiming looked desperate, but forced himself to laugh, sadly:
"We are clearly prepared to walk the rest of our lives in this desperate **** and die silently..."
His voice is getting hoarse, with a ripped voice:
"But why, why do you have to be cruel and indifferent to appear here, in this hell?"
"Your Highness!"
"Why did you come before us!"
Naki got more and more excited, and the tip of his sword kept shaking, and Belletti had to pull Thales back a bit.
"Why send us... again to this unbearable, extremely ugly world?"
Tels stared at him blankly.
Why?
What is he talking about?
"Nakey!"
Barney, who has experienced shock and doubt, finally couldn't help it. His impatience turned into anger:
"Hand over the keys-don't forget, we are short on time and shoulder heavy responsibilities!"
Barney's eyes burst into flames and gritted his teeth:
"No matter what you are going crazy, but for eighteen years we have stood here, not just for ourselves, not just for our own feelings!"
"If you still have a trace of respect for the dead and brothers..."
But beyond everyone's expectations...
"Enough, Barney of Quill a bitch!"
Naki, who has always been fearful and obedient to Chief Pioneer Barney, exploded in the next moment!
Naki was excited and yelled back hysterically:
"You seedless bastard! Damn paranoia! The cruelest murderer!"
Little Barney was suddenly stagnant.
Killing...
The murderer?
For an instant, the determined and courageous vanguard was also upset.
Under everyone's incredible gaze, Naki looked vicious and struggling.
"Eighteen years..."
He raised the blade, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words:
"I'm fed up with your self-righteousness and cleverness..."
Naki stared at the shocked Barney fiercely, his sword pointed at him:
"Enough of your day and night, chattering preaching and declaration..."
Naki took a sharp breath, as if to express all the embarrassment and resentment, and roared loudly:
"Enough of your role model of perseverance and unyielding!"
Naki's eyes were red, tears filled, and he breathed coarsely, as if weeping, but also angry.
The guards seemed to have never seen this look like Naki before, and everyone was caught off guard.
But looking at him like this, Thales had doubts in his heart.
Not right.
The crime of the prison river flooded my brain.
Thyls began to force himself to think back.
Recall those abnormal things.
From him to the prison of bones.
All factors~IndoMTL.com~All things, all logic...
Not right.
Naki’s attitude was very wrong from the moment he saw Thaker...
No.
Not just there.
Earlier.
A little earlier!
"Nakey."
At this moment, Thales said dumbfounded:
"That song."
Naki’s painful and struggling expression is stagnant:
"What?"
His shoulders trembled violently, his face changed sharply, and his breathing was chaotic.
Thyls remembered.
He finally figured out what was wrong.
In front of everyone, the young man breathed in a trance, expressing his own guess word by word:
"Sacker said just now that he is the only one who knows the truth..."
"And all bad luck began when he failed to persuade the old king Eddie to prevent him from marrying the old friend, Queen Fiosa, who is really a magician..."
Naki trembled upon hearing this!
"But..."
Tyles' voice is also shaking slightly, as if thinking of something terrible:
"But that song," Thales looked at him blankly:
"But when we first met across the cell, the song you sang to appease Cannon..."
Barney, Semir, Belletti... the others frowned.
"That's not a coincidence, is it?"
At that moment, as if someone was holding down the air, Naki's breathing instantly calmed down.
In a few seconds, Naki's expression changed from despair and pain to sadness and relief.
He closed his eyes and let the tears slip.
In the next second, Naki twitched his mouth with difficulty.
"You are very keen, Your Highness."
Before everyone's unbelievable gazes, Naki was crying, and smiled sadly:
"No."
"That's not."
