I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
(On the first day of November, here are two long chapters to calm you down~)
Cheng Shi led a group of people to the place where Dayi found the historian, and the timing was just right. The thin old man lay stiffly on the ground, almost frozen to death.
Old Gallon is in urgent need of treatment, but there is no priest on the scene. However, everyone can become a "priest" under the watchful eyes of the envoy.
Especially for the Chameleon Qu Yan, he would never bother Lord Yuxi to help with such a small matter, so the moment he saw that Galen's vitality was fading, he took out a bottle of healing potion from his personal space and poured it into the other's mouth.
The potion was very effective, and old Galen woke up soon. He looked at the strangers in front of him and was about to scold them when he discovered that the eldest prince, who had long been expelled from the imperial court, was standing behind the crowd.
The eldest prince, who had vowed to recruit all the soldiers in the city to fight to the death against the invasion of the Destroyer, was now tied up like a dumpling, looking at Old Galen with a miserable face.
Galen looked at the prince, then at the person in front of him, and felt like the world had fallen on him.
He mistook Cheng Shi and his group for those destroyers.
However, Cheng Shi did not refute this time. Under the absolute control of the situation, identity no longer mattered. If Galen believed that they were destroyers, then it would be fine to be a destroyer for once.
In fact, in this situation, any normal person can see that the eldest prince was kidnapped. Since these three "destroyers" could find this place, they must have learned everything from the eldest prince. In Galen's opinion, they must be here to hunt down the Rossner royal family and those nobles. I just don't know what role the always tough eldest prince played in this "hunt".
He didn't believe that someone like the eldest prince would surrender to the enemy, but everything in front of him made him feel terrified, so Galen moved his lips and asked tremblingly:
"Your Highness...how are you..."
After hearing this, Cheng Shi snorted and looked at the eldest prince and his family.
The eldest prince's face changed and he turned his head away in fear. The expression on his face was very complicated. In addition to the embarrassment of having his heroic image exposed in front of him, he felt more guilty towards the historian in front of him.
Cheng Shi could not perceive emotions directly, but he saw the trick in these complex emotions. When he connected the information he had learned before, a bold guess suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be that the eldest prince threw the dagger on purpose?
Cheng Shi suddenly laughed. He looked at the two of them with a playful look and said with a smile:
"Why, you two are so familiar with each other, how come you have become so distant?
What's so difficult about recognizing each other?
A prince who wanted to sever ties with the entire royal family for his own safety, and a historian who realized too late that he was being used by the entire royal family. I took great pains to bring you together, not for you to perform a pantomime for me.
Tell me, where did the dagger go?"
The eldest prince shuddered and dared not speak. Old Galen looked confused and muttered, "Dagger? What dagger?"
Cheng Shi snorted and laughed and replied:
"It seems I need to remind you. Your child accidentally ran into a secret room while playing with the eldest prince's child and found the dagger that the eldest prince had used. Yes, it was that dagger. Do you remember it?"
Old Gallon remembered, but he shook his head violently in an instant and said:
"It was taken away. The dagger must have been taken away. When His Highness was expelled from the Imperial Court, he was not allowed to take any property with him. When His Majesty escaped, he asked the Imperial Court guards to take away all the wealth of the entire Imperial Court. So if the dagger was still in His Highness's residence, it would have been taken away long ago..."
"Oh? Really?
It seems that even now, the image of this eldest prince in your mind is still so upright and upright.
But I would like to ask, how could two children playing together happen to break into a secret room that contained the "object of faith" that the eldest prince was terrified and avoided?
Well, I’m afraid you don’t know the details, old Galen, so let the eldest prince answer it.
Your Highness, may I ask why you would place a dagger that you regard as a gift from the [Decadent] God in such an unsafe ‘secret room’?"
Cheng Shi smiled, and he even emphasized the word "secret room".
"......"
"......"
The eldest prince was silent. As he remained silent, old Galen seemed to have guessed something and his eyes widened.
The two players were observing the NPC in front of them with great interest. They admired the omniscience of the envoy and kept guessing about the story happening here while watching the show.
Old Galen's expression became somewhat incredulous. It was unknown whether he was frightened by the words "God's Gift of Decay" or whether he had connected some details. In any case, he pointed at the eldest prince tremblingly, not even calling him "Your Highness", and scolded him with a look of grief and anger:
"You...you...what did you do to Ellen?"
Cheng Shi snorted and laughed, then turned to look at the eldest prince: "Answer me, the historian is asking you a question."
Seeing that there was no place to hide, the eldest prince clenched his fists and took a half step to block his wife and children. He raised his head and said in grief and anger:
"I don't want to do this, but I have to protect my wife and my children. I was forced to do it. I have no choice!
That dagger kept threatening me and asked me to offer it a large amount of flesh and blood. I was not an emperor, I was just a prince. I did not have so much flesh and blood to offer to it. In order to offer it everything it wanted, my family was already extremely weak at that time.
