Chapter 286 Died
After six days of hard work, Atom and Mai Xuan finally integrated their forces into a mercenary team and placed the gathering point of the mercenary team in the Jiang family mansion.
In order to build momentum for Mai Xuan, Mai Dong and Zhuang Yuelan also attended the celebration banquet that day.
The cultivation levels of the four members of the Mai family were enough to overwhelm the mercenaries present, especially the aura of a ninth-level psychic that Mai Dongwu subtly exuded, which made the mercenaries present stand in awe of her.
When the mercenaries heard from Atom that it was Mai Dong who proposed that Mai Xuan be in charge of the mercenary corps, the joy on their faces was clearly visible.
Mai Dong initially thought that these mercenaries were happy because they were of the same mind, but she accidentally "heard" that these people called her the Queen Mother when they talked about her behind her back.
She realized that her relationship with King Arthur was already known to many people, and she thought that only some well-informed nobles knew about it.
Therefore, these mercenaries were happy that their mercenary group had the support of the Queen Mother, which would make them stand out from the crowd.
Although Mai Dong knew that these people's mentality was not right, in a sense they were right, so she did not tell the Mai family about it.
After returning to her own house, Mai Dong thought about it and asked Zhuang Huiya whether the story between her and King Arthur had spread.
"I don't know about other places, but many people in the capital should know about it. Many people in our command department have asked me about it. I didn't give clear answers and didn't say anything." Zhuang Huiya said.
Mai Dong glanced at Zhuang Huiya. This idiot still had the nerve to try to be clever with her. He never expected that given the relationship between them as siblings, if this really didn't happen, he would definitely deny it loudly and warn others not to talk nonsense, instead of just saying so softly that he didn't know.
This is almost the same as trying to cover up one's own misfortune.
As expected, gossip is human nature no matter what era it is, and it cannot be stopped even in the end times.
King Arthur did not come out of the palace to find Maidong until the eighth night.
The first feeling Mai Dong had when he saw King Arthur was that he had become stronger again. Although his cultivation was still at the tenth level, his aura had become much stronger.
The second feeling is that although he doesn't look tired at all, his unhappiness is clearly visible.
Mai Dong came and sat beside him, and King Arthur held her in his arms, resting his head on her shoulder, and remained silent. She leaned against him and did not speak.
"My father has not come back." King Arthur said after a long while.
Mai Dong hugged him back and stroked his back to comfort him, and King Arthur hugged her tighter.
"Have you figured out something?" King Arthur asked without feeling surprised.
"I've seen previous speeches. The speaker that day looked fine at first, but after taking a closer look, I felt something was wrong, his temperament was different," Mai Dong said.
The King of 녢加 has been on the throne for decades, and his majesty and bearing are not something that others can imitate. Anyone who is familiar with the King of 녢加 should be able to notice it as long as they are not too crude.
Mai Dong has never met King Gabon in reality, but since she decided to be with King Arthur, she has paid more attention to King Gabon, who has publicly expressed his acceptance of her.
As a high-level psychic, her observation is naturally better than others, and her intuition is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
"In the novel, it said that he would be in trouble the first time. But in reality, nothing happened to him the first time. I thought I had changed his fate, but I didn't expect that he would still be in trouble." King Arthur's voice was hoarse.
"The King Arthur in the novel had not yet taken responsibility, and his Majesty the King in the novel must have been filled with endless worries and regrets when he left. But in reality, you are fully capable of taking responsibility, and his Majesty the King has made various arrangements in advance. Although it is unfortunate, his mood should be different from that of his Majesty the King in the novel." Mai Dong comforted.
Her words were not just words of comfort, she really meant it in her heart.
For an ambitious king, his throne has a successor who is very capable, so he can rest in peace.
Mai Dong's words comforted King Arthur to some extent.
King Arthur had been extremely busy these past few days and had hardly any time to feel sad.
His father passed away, leaving him with the heavy responsibility of the Nerazzurri. He had to handle it steadily to live up to his father's training and expectations of him.
In the past, he was authorized, and many things were still decided by King 녢加 and executed by him.
Now he has to decide all aspects by himself. Although he is not in a rush, there are some decisions that he still has to think over again and again before making.
The situation in the Nerazzurri these days shows that he is doing very well.
King Arthur let go of Mai Dong and hugged her loosely so that the two could talk face to face.
"Under the current circumstances, my father's affairs cannot be made public, otherwise it will cause serious negative emotions and lead to social unrest, so the members of the House of Representatives unanimously decided to let my father's stand-in bodyguard pretend to be him and show his face in public." King Arthur said gloomily.
"Your Majesty's influence on the people of the empire is too great. Try not to reveal it during the apocalyptic purge, otherwise..." Mai Dong agreed with the views of those councilors.
Otherwise, King Arthur would know everything Mai Dong didn't say without her explaining it. He sighed and said, "We can only keep it a secret until then. After we are forced to evacuate to the Blue Water Planet, we will definitely not be able to keep it a secret."
At that time, the Great Purge was over, and humans no longer had the threat of death at any time. King Arthur also made many achievements, so people were more receptive to many things.
"There are many legends about the Queen and the Second Emperor on Starnet." Mai Dong asked.
"It's true. The Queen didn't come back the first time, and Adi got into trouble this time. In order to prevent the public from being suspicious of the bodyguards, some members of Congress advocated leaking this information. Not only can it attract the public's attention, but it also provides enough excuses to prevent the bodyguards from appearing in public less often." King Arthur said.
Indeed, several days have passed and the news is still hot. Although more and more people believe the news, the official has never said a word, which has only aroused people's curiosity.
"Alas, a lot of people died this time." Mai Dong sighed, "My master only sent me a message saying that she was fine until today. She hasn't even sent me a text message."
"The loss rate of the army this time is as high as 7%. An army group has lost tens of thousands of people. Admiral Su has a lot to do." King Arthur said.
