Quadruple split.

Chapter 2593 The Evil Eye King

"..."

After the three people's auras completely disappeared from the cliff, Yerma, who had been tense all the time, breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head stiffly to look at the Evil Eye King who was still sitting at the table: "Your Majesty..."

"Ok?"

The Evil Eye King, who was leaning sideways to admire the scenery outside the window and rarely showing a trace of laziness, nodded slightly: "What's the matter?"

Yerma was silent for a while, then he slowly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just overthinking it."

"I've already told you that the Holy Church Alliance is destined to establish its authority, but it will never let that legend take action. If you act too nervous, you will end up losing ground."

The Evil Eye King casually picked up the small sweet cookie he had just been playing with for a while, and after thinking for a moment, he finally put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully for nearly half a minute before swallowing it, and said softly, "It's delicious."

"Kings!"

Even if the legendary strongman with a hostile attitude was right next to him, he could still maintain his demeanor and composure. The experienced Black Lizard Hunter Commander suddenly widened his eyes and said in a lost voice: "You——"

"Yeah, although it's probably only temporary, my sense of taste is definitely back."

The Evil Eye King nodded slightly, then turned his eyes away from the plate of snacks in front of him, turned his head and smiled at Yerma, "Not only the taste, but also the pain and trance brought to me by the malignant disease and the poison have been temporarily suppressed. Praise the abundance, thanks to the great knight commander, I can now not only taste the flavor of food, but even drink a little wine without losing my mind and collapsing to death."

With tears in his eyes, Yerma trembled as he placed his right hand on the Evil Eye King's shoulder and said in an equally trembling voice, "That is to say... Fedor, that is to say..."

"Yes, Uncle Yerma, I am temporarily cured."

Fyodor smiled, patted Yerma's arm, and said happily: "Although it's only temporary, it feels really good. I don't know how long it has been since I basked in the sun like this. It's a privilege that I, with my gray scales, can never enjoy."

puff-

The next moment, Yerma suddenly fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face: "Fedo, we..."

"We are the same as always, Uncle Yerma."

Fyodor interrupted Yerma, who was not his biological father but treated him much better than his biological father, and said with a smile: "We must continue as always."

Yerma rarely obeyed the king in front of him immediately, but gritted his teeth and said: "But since that Madolan Knight can suppress your pain so easily, if you are really willing to go to the City of Light, maybe you can really recover completely!"

Fyodor just looked at Yerma calmly, his expression calm and indifferent.

"And didn't you also try to reach an agreement with the Son of the Sun Cult and the Black Brahma priest before, and even used the move of 'Severed Head Cliff's submission to the Holy Cult Union' as a bargaining chip?"

Yerma, who had never disobeyed the opponent before, clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, what's the use of going to the City of Light and accepting the conditions offered by the Grand Knight Commander?"

"It's different, Uncle Yerma, it's different."

Fyodor sighed silently and said softly, "It is one thing to win things from the table through trading, gambling, negotiation and other means. It is another thing to get charity by begging for mercy from others. The fact that I am willing to hand over the future of the Cliff to Black and Heifan has never meant that I am willing to sell my life to them as well."

Yerma's eyes were red with anger: "But your body——"

"Dear Uncle Yerma."

Fyodor laughed and said calmly, "Although I admit that 'being free from the torture of illness and poison' is quite tempting, it does not mean that I will pay too much to exchange for the birthright of countless mediocre people. You should know that I am actually a very stingy person."

Yerma: “…”

"There are too many healthy and mediocre people in this world, Uncle Yerma."

Fyodor leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "There are countless healthy and normal people, countless healthy and normal lizardmen, countless dirty idiots like the Gota family, but... there is only one Evil Eye King in this world."

Yerma's shoulders drooped weakly.

"Of course I don't mind, and I even hope that I can have a healthy body, but this does not mean that I am willing to exchange my unique things for those things that are not rare and almost everyone has, because it is really not cost-effective."

Fyodor shrugged, spread his hands and said, "The Holy Church Union is not a charity. It is foreseeable that even if they do not intend to investigate my evil deeds over the years, their original intention is definitely not for ridiculous reasons such as "mercy" and "kindness". What they need is a blood barbarian without the "Headless Cliff" and the "Evil Eye King".

"..."

"I can abandon the Cliff of Broken Head, but if I have to exchange my identity as the 'Evil Eye King' for that of an 'ordinary and healthy lizard man', haha."

Fyodor shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's really a bit too ridiculous, isn't it?"

"I am willing to follow you until the last moment."

Yerma sighed silently, then stood up and said to Fyodor, who was much younger than him but always hunched over and whose body was almost hollowed out by illness and toxins: "Your Majesty."

The Evil Eye King nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Take these foods away."

"Kings?"

Yerma was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "You are not..."

"I can feel that this vitality that does not belong to me is slowly slipping away. By this time tomorrow, this long-lost health will probably be gone forever."

The Evil Eye King interrupted his loyal subject and said calmly: "Of course I can enjoy this hard-earned gift to my heart's content on this day, and make the final tenderness with this health, but whether it is delicious food, beautiful women, good wine, or any enjoyment I can imagine, as long as it can make me nostalgic for even a moment, it will make me distracted the next day. On the contrary, if those things can't make me nostalgic, why should I waste time enjoying them?"

"..."

Yerma sighed deeply and picked up the snacks on the table.

"Don't make such an ugly expression. You are my black lizard hunter commander, Uncle Yerma."

The Evil Eye King laughed and gently stroked the sickly gray scales on his arm that were coated with a layer of soft sunlight with his index finger. "And I actually have an idea of ​​rewarding myself. For example, I plan to sit here until sunset today and enjoy the sunshine."

"Very good, very good." Yerma nodded vigorously, and after a long silence, he picked out a piece of the most simple cookie from the tray in his hand and handed it to the king in front of him: "The last piece, Your Majesty."

"You are overstepping your authority."

"The last piece, Fedor."

"...I can't do anything about you, Uncle Yerma."

……

At the same time, under the cliff, the shallow forest
"I don't like it here."

Clara frowned and raised her hand to fan her nose, saying unhappily, "Rude, barbaric, dirty, and smelly!"

Louise blinked and asked curiously, "Really? I think it's fine here."

"I'm talking about something spiritual, little sister Louise."

Although she looked like a minor, Clara, whose actual age had exceeded three digits, sighed, then turned to Madolan and asked, "Did you do anything to that sickly lizard just now? Is it some kind of curse? I remember that your Abundance seemed to be able to suck people dry with just one seed. Are you planning to die without a match..."

"I took some of my strength and poured it into Fyodor."

Madolan smiled and explained concisely: "Because of his congenital disease and toxins, his quality of life in recent years should be very poor. The power just now should make him feel a little better for a while."

"Huh? Why?"

Clara was shocked, then she clapped her hands suddenly and said, "Oh! I understand! You are planning to turn him over directly, make the sick lizard addicted to health, and then control him severely..."

"No."

Madolan turned his head and glanced at the Headless Cliff not far away, and said softly: "The Evil Eye King is not someone who can be easily controlled by such means. The gift just now was mainly because he directly gave me the location of the Skork Resistance."

Clara curled her lips and said unhappily, "That's clearly self-help, right? You know, if anything happens to those kids, they'll be the first to suffer."

"But he should also know that even if those children are fine, at best it will only result in me not taking action."

Madolan replied calmly, reminding him, "As long as we have not confirmed that the God's Blessed One has been killed, there is no reason for a Legendary like me to take action against the Blood Barbarians. It is reasonable and logical to continue to drag it out, which is the choice that best suits Fyodor's interests."

Clara said "oh" without commenting, obviously not interested in this topic.

"Besides that, there's another reason why I did this."

Madolan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked towards the Cliff of Broken Head, and said softly: "I sensed a very thin...divine nature in Feodor."

"Divinity?"

Clara was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "You mean 'divinity'? The god of gods? The god of righteous gods? The god of justice and the god of the goddess of abundance?"

"I think that god is not the God of Justice, and it has nothing to do with the power of my Lord."

Madolan smiled, turned to look at Louise who had been distracted, and said calmly: "When I was talking to the Evil Eye King before, I secretly asked Ms. Louise to carefully investigate whether there are any traces of divine power on the Evil Eye King."

Louise nodded and said casually, "If it was the power of justice, I would feel it, but that person doesn't have it."

"Similarly, I didn't feel the power of abundance from Fyodor."

Madolan shook his head and said solemnly, "But I don't think my feeling is wrong, so I left some power in Fyodor. Although it is only good for him, it also has another purpose of capturing the divine power in his body. I think that divine power is very likely the culprit for his physical condition to deteriorate to this extent."

Clara, who knew very well that she was neither a Living Saint nor a Legendary, did not mind that Madolan had not quietly greeted her just now. She just asked casually, "So why did you want to capture that divine power? It should be a good thing to make the physical condition of the enemy of the Holy Church Union worse, right? Or, even a villain who has killed countless ordinary people and caused countless disasters is worthy of mercy and salvation?"

"Because if that divine power really exists, it is indeed a bit too 'sinister'."

Madolan calmly looked at Clara, who was looking at him unkindly, and said in a calm tone, "Plus, the caster almost concealed his perception from me, and he is likely to be someone with extremely strong strength or power. These two reasons combined make me feel terrified."

"Haha, well then~ If you find out anything, remember to let me know so that we don't make this trip in vain."

Clara was obviously quite satisfied with Madolan's explanation, and asked in a rather pleasant tone: "So, what should we do next?"

"My personal plan is to send the two of you to Gospel Mountain City first, and then you will contact the City of Light to report our investigation results to everyone, and let the investigation team set off as usual."

Madolan gave the plan he had thought of without hesitation, and then added: "Of course, I personally do not recommend stating the mysterious nature of the divine power directly in the report, but you two can directly tell Saint Tychus and Saint Ambrose. I think they are both trustworthy people."

Louise nodded: "Okay."

Clara tilted her head curiously and asked, "What about you? After sending us to Gospel Mountain City, what else are you going to do?"

"I plan to go and look for those kids who are keen on playing hide-and-seek, and then decide what to do next."

Madolan smiled slightly and said cheerfully, "This is also what your Excellencies meant."

"oh oh."

Louise suddenly realized and asked, "So you are going to use the map that person just gave you?"

"That's not necessary."

Madolan turned his head and looked in a certain direction, then smiled meaningfully and said, "Although those kids have tried very hard to hide their presence, it is still too much to ask of a legendary priest of abundance."

"That's true. After all, Fengzao is good at capturing the breath of life. If it were our leader Xia Lian, I guess she might not be able to find it."

"To be honest, if it was Princess Xia Lian who came here, let alone whether or not we could find those children, we probably wouldn't be able to find the Cliff of Broken Head."
