Chapter 1855 It’s Hard to Be a Villain

He was a big man in a black robe, with almost no skin exposed. Apart from his somewhat disproportionate body structure, all that could be seen was his thick hair.

The mysterious man in black robe made a deal with the king.

The Ninth Princess stopped abruptly and looked at Blaze and Lupin XIII eagerly. The next step was the most critical part, and she hoped that her life could be guaranteed to some extent.

Lupin 13 was in a dilemma. He pinched his brows and frowned for a long time before he reluctantly swore to ensure the safety of the Ninth Princess.

But Blaze saw Lupin XIII's left hand behind his back, with his index and middle fingers crossed to make a cross. If he remembered correctly, this meant "The oath I just made is invalid."

Blazer shook his head and sighed in his heart. This was the consequence of not going out and not interacting with society. You know, when a stranger swears, it is common sense to make sure that the stranger is not making any gestures behind his back.

The Ninth Princess suffered a loss due to her lack of common sense.

After receiving the guarantee, the Ninth Princess did not ask for more. After all, she was the one begging the two people in front of her. If she said a few more words, she would probably be killed. So she immediately told the content of the deal between the mysterious man and the king.

If you can snatch the Sun Gem, you will be given a real body that is immortal and has the power to destroy the world.

As a token of sincerity and proof, the mysterious man made nine bodies for the king.

These nine bodies are extremely magical. As long as the soul is placed in them, they can automatically adapt to the soul's appearance and replicate the perfect body of the magic core creation.

This was a sure-win deal, so the king readily agreed and sent his army to attack the Immortal Tribe.

The only problem was that the king was reluctant to use the magical creation army, and he sent out the human army.

If a human soldier dies in battle, his soul will be directly extracted and injected into a magical creation to become the core.

Blaze frowned again. This behavior was not even that of a tyrant, but only that of a nouveau riche slave owner.

"If I remember correctly, not long after the Magic Kingdom obtained the Sun Gem, the Magic Creation Army went out of control, right? Ah, this is the opportunity." Lupin XIII's eyes twitched. No wonder they went out of control.

"Indeed, the king created a legion of magical artifacts from a large number of fallen soldiers. Due to the soldiers' resentment, the army went out of control and the kingdom was destroyed. However, the king left a will before the destruction."

The Ninth Princess raised her hand and pointed at the fragments of the sun gem in the core area.

"This is about something that only the nine of us heirs know. The king gave us nine fragments of the Sun Gem and told us that they are the map and key to the true treasure of the Magic Kingdom."

"He has commanded us to protect this key, and has us fight among ourselves until a victor emerges. Whoever obtains all the fragments will gain access to the treasure trove of the Magic Kingdom and gain the power to conquer all."

"Of course, I know this is just helping the king. In fact, although that person looks like he wants to destroy the kingdom on purpose, I know that he is just having a hard time." The Ninth Princess couldn't help but sneer.

"Isn't the legacy of the Magic Kingdom the invincible body promised by that mysterious man? Why would he leave it to us? He probably just used us to draw attention to us while he hid at the location of the legacy, waiting for us to bring the Sun Gem to claim it." "Haa~" Lupin XIII sighed deeply, immediately attracting Blaze's attention.

"What's wrong? Did she lie?"

"No, I'm just sighing that [this kind of development] is probably normal." Lupin XIII recalled many works he had seen and experienced.

A kingdom that was so powerful at its peak but suddenly perished, a kingdom that had a perfect immortal body but gave it to its own offspring, and left behind regrets about its enormous power when the kingdom was destroyed... These elements are quite classic.

Generally speaking, the king of the Magic Kingdom is someone who calculates everyone. Unless the protagonist cheats, or relies on friendship and other random factors that the king has not calculated to launch a surprise attack, the king will definitely be the final winner.

But this is usually arranged in advance, and there is not even a development process itself, but it is directly written into the background, in order to create a powerful villain who controls everything.

Sometimes the villain's meticulousness makes people feel unreal. Normally, how could it be calculated so accurately? Especially for some plans with a long time span, involving a large number of people and so many variables, how can success be guaranteed? The villain may have more cheats than the protagonist.

The King of the Magic Kingdom introduced by the Ninth Princess has a very real feeling rather than a clown.

If all goes well, he could become a terrifying villain, but just like there is no such thing as a perfect person, there seem to be some errors here and there.

He has the ambition to conquer the world, but lacks the temperament and ability. He has the luck to get the support of a mysterious person, but his luck is not enough. Before he can obtain an invincible body, his kingdom is destroyed by his own magical creation army.

It seemed like he had set up a shocking conspiracy hidden in history that could use everyone to achieve his goal, but in fact it was a last resort, and he almost lost the game before it even started.

Even so, the plan largely failed. It was impossible to collect all nine fragments of the Sun Gem. Most of them disappeared in history, and several were crushed by the evil Titan.

Let alone the nine princes competing for the throne and selecting the true dragon, even this last one can only be described as a survivor, not a winner.

In comparison, the Ninth Princess in front of him is much more qualified. She has a very good character of admitting defeat when it is time to do so.

If it was someone else, he would definitely be able to take advantage of it and achieve a certain degree of counterattack, but unfortunately he was unlucky and ran into Blaze head-on.

The summary of Lupin XIII is that some villains are more difficult than the protagonist, have more cheats than the protagonist, and are extremely charming. Especially those who are set to be smart and almost demonic will look like they have a halo of reduced intelligence because of the intelligence of their creator.

"So this plot goes against the grain? There's a kind of imperfect beauty in a program that's already mostly broken, yet still manages to function."

"Or is there an unexpected twist?"

More than three years after the release of "Godlock" and after a year of turmoil, Lupin XIII still firmly believes that everything was arranged by the genius producers.
