Chapter 1124 The ugly truth behind the beauty
“Is this really not going to become some kind of international issue?”

Blaze always felt that Greenland had come up with a bad idea and was planning to steal the crown of the Eternal Queen directly.

It would be fine if she just wanted to steal, but she actually planned to drag him along.

"It's not the crown, it's two inconspicuous little things on the crown."

Greenland used her index finger and thumb to measure. Since her cat-orc fingers were furry, the size of the figure made by her two fingers seemed to be only as thick as a gold coin.

Blaze stretched out his index finger between the two fingers that Greenland was pointing at, poked it in, and shook it left and right. The space was quite large, about the size of a glass marble.

"This is not an inconspicuous size. The crown might be used mainly to set off these two things."

"Can't we just talk to the Everqueen...?"

"Heh, you country boy, do you think you can see the Everqueen whenever you want?" Greenland suddenly changed his expression, his voice was sharp, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Only those who have made sufficient contributions to the Queen and her kingdom and climbed to the position of the noble Twelve Knights will be eligible for the opportunity to have lunch with the Queen!"

"Is this the kind of difficulty that people who want to see the Everqueen will face?" Blaze rubbed his arms violently, his body shaking with fear at Greenland's vivid performance.

Greenland spread her hands. All she could tell Blaze was that players were obsessed with climbing. It wasn't that players were obsessed with the appearance of the Everqueen, but there was simply a leaderboard.

As long as there are rankings, and rankings that are updated in real time, there will inevitably be fierce competition. Players who love the rankings and can feel the pleasure of rising in their rankings will compete frantically.

Moreover, the Eternal Kingdom is as fertile as a sow, constantly issuing tasks. Players with higher rankings can get tasks with higher difficulty. This is why the Eternal Kingdom is very popular.

"When the Eternal Kingdom first appeared, you only needed to defeat a dragon and offer the dragon's heart to meet the queen. But the version has been updated, and one heart is not enough. You must climb the leaderboard."

"Unfortunately, defeating a dragon and offering all the materials including the Dragon's Heart can only get you this far. This is the level of just entering, but if you want to see the Eternal Queen, you can get this." Greenland subconsciously gestured at the area below his lower abdomen.

Herbie, who had been listening silently, felt deeply offended, but she had no evidence. She thought the metaphor just now was quite novel, but it was a pity that Blazer didn't understand it.

"Don't look at us either. [Hermes's Traveling Hat] can't help with this matter." Herbie curled his lips, dissatisfied with Blaze's exaggerated expression.

No matter how much you pout, you still have to say what you need to say.

Before the rise of Camelot, the capital of the Eternal Kingdom, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] was very influential in the territory of the Third Kingdom, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was the true ruler of the entire Third Kingdom.

The transmission towers standing between the city-states and kingdoms are not only the economic lifeline and the key route for transporting food and fodder, but also the key buildings that can directly strike at the enemy's source.

[Hermes' Traveling Hat] acts as a middleman in the territory of the Third Kingdom. If Cyrene had not been built on killing and death, and the gold coins were not tainted with sin, [Hermes' Traveling Hat] would have made a fortune.

However, even if it does not make money from the arms business, [Hermes's Travel Hat] still makes a lot of money. Previously, [Hermes's Travel Hat] and the lords of each kingdom and city-state have signed a number of contracts including taxation, business rights, and the right to use the teleportation tower. Even if the lords are replaced, no generation of lords will breach the contract.

Those who can become city lords are not idiots. They know that cooperating with [Hermes's Traveling Hat] will bring only benefits and no harm.

But after Camelot floated up, the good days of [Hermes's Travel Hat] were over. The people of Camelot who became the fairies in the lake were pig-headed. In the name of the unification war, they took away all the facilities and wealth of [Hermes's Travel Hat], including the teleportation tower.

Forget about the contract, the teleportation towers are now in the name of the noble Everqueen.

As Hebie spoke, he began to grit his teeth, feeling extremely angry.

"Even the people of the Holy Cross would not be so ruthless. At most, they forbade the sale. The lake fairies snatched away all of them, and those that could not be snatched away were burned."

Needless to say, Hebi must have invested a lot of energy in the Third Kingdom, a chaotic but suitable place for rise, and all those achievements have been burned to ashes.

"...I've always heard that the Eternal Kingdom is rich and beautiful, and can be described with honey." Blaze was a little disillusioned with the Eternal Kingdom. Whether in the legend or in the rumors after the Eternal Kingdom floated up, the Eternal Kingdom was very beautiful.

"Yes, Camelot is rich and beautiful, and the lake elves living in it sing and dance every day. But what about other places? The rich live in luxury while the poor freeze to death on the streets. Those unified kingdoms and city-states live an even worse life than before." Greenland snorted, seeming quite dissatisfied with the Eternal Kingdom.

Blaze looked at Herbie and asked for confirmation, but Herbie could only smile bitterly.

"It's hard to describe in words."

"Won't they resist?"

"We have the Eternal Queen and the Twelve Knights system. All the foreigners are private soldiers of the Eternal Kingdom. If they rebel..." Greenland stretched out his claws and slowly wiped his neck.

"It will become the contribution of strangers. It will be much easier to kill them."

Blaze fell silent. Originally, he just wanted to find the Fountain of Youth, but he didn't expect to know the true face of the Eternal Kingdom behind its beautiful appearance. This was really not a good sign.

"Why did it become like this? Is the legend false?"

"The legend may be true. According to the legend, the one who ruled Camelot was the Eternal King, and the one who rules Camelot now is the Everqueen, a vicious woman who has always tried to seize the throne." Greenland sat back in the chair and wagged her tail. She didn't have to worry about not being able to convince Blaze, because Blaze was already tempted.

"In my experience, once this type of woman succeeds in usurping the throne, she will bring about this kind of debauched and tyrannical rule."

"The knight rankings are for the purpose of amassing wealth and enjoying pleasure, and the lunch of the Twelve Knights... is probably for the purpose of enjoying the best warriors to please her."
