Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Faced with Zhao Hao's question, the soldiers chimed in with their own opinions, offering everything they knew without reservation.

It turns out that the king had entertained an old sorcerer a couple of days ago, who gave the infertile King Gianna a suggestion: if the queen ate the heart of a sea monster cooked by a virgin, she would be able to have a child.

The queen was even more eager to have a child than the king, and immediately began to organize people to prepare for the operation.

We are now gathering warriors to hunt sea monsters in the deep ravines by the sea.

This sea monster is no ordinary creature; it is said to be over ten meters long, incredibly strong, and capable of stirring up storms and waves.

The king and queen were determined to get their hands on the monster's heart. They gathered hundreds of fishermen, hundreds of fishing boats, and thousands of giant nets.

After gathering enough information, Zhao Hao left.

But Nasiro tugged at Zhao Hao's sleeve and led him to a secluded spot, whispering, "This story sounds so familiar... King Giano of the Langriris Kingdom is infertile, and only eating the heart of a sea dragon can cure him..."

"Oh, you've heard this story before?" Zhao Hao asked.

Siro nodded. "Yes, this should be a story from the earliest collection of fairy tales, the Pentamer. The Pentamer is a collection of stories written in the 17th century by the Italian court poet Gimbaldisda Basil... This story should be the ninth story on the first day—The Magical Doe!"

He looked into Zhao Hao's eyes and asked cautiously, "We're not... in a story, are we?"

There's no doubt that Ciro is a smart man. He guessed the truth.

After receiving confirmation from Zhao Hao, he was a little dumbfounded.

"Have we entered a fairy tale world? Can we go back?" he asked in despair.

"We can go back. But the world of this fairy tale is quite different from the one we've been taught."

"Not the same?"

"Yes, it's darker, more primitive, and often quite bizarre. In short, it's very dangerous."

Xiluo's expression darkened again. "The earliest fairy tales were very dark, bloody, and explicit. If that's what fairy tales are like, then we're in danger!"

……

King Gianna succeeded; he killed the sea monster!

More than a hundred warriors sacrificed their lives, but in the end they still managed to kill the sea monster!

King Gianna failed. Although he killed the sea monster, when he was about to cut open the monster's belly to take its heart, the sea monster, in a final burst of energy, pierced his chest with its tail and killed him!

However, when the queen returned with the king's body, she showed no grief whatsoever, nor did she bother to hold a funeral for him. Her first act was to find a virgin maid and have her cook the sea monster's heart!

Xi Luo and Zhao Hao stood hidden to the side, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Siro said awkwardly, "It really is quite different! Isn't King Giano a bit pitiful? He's dead, how can the queen get pregnant?"

That sea monster's heart was no ordinary thing; for some reason, no matter how it was cooked, it wouldn't cook through. Even as it churned in the boiling broth, the fresh blood never coagulated.

However, the queen couldn't wait any longer. Since it was already cooked, it didn't matter whether it was cooked or not!

A bloody heart, over forty centimeters long, was placed on a silver platter, and the queen pounced on it and began to gnaw on it!

Zhao Hao and Xi Luo were disgusted watching from the side. Even if they were savage and bloodthirsty, it didn't have to be like this. Had he gone mad?

Just then, an old man with white hair and wearing a gray robe walked in from the doorway. Looking at the queen, who was devouring the heart of a sea monster like a wild beast, he stroked his long beard and revealed a smug smile.

"Hahahaha~~~" He laughed as he took off his robe...

Zhao Hao and Xi Luo stared wide-eyed: What's going on? Can we watch this kind of content without voting?

Meanwhile, trouble also broke out in the palace kitchen.

The maid who was cooking the sea monster's heart suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain; her belly visibly grew larger!

That wasn't all; everything else in the kitchen was trembling too. Tables gave birth to little tables, stools gave birth to little stools, and even pots gave birth to little pots!

Carrots beget carrots, potatoes beget potatoes...

Don't ask me how I did it, I don't know. That's just how unreasonable the world of fairy tales is! This is even more powerful than the Mother-Child River!

Meanwhile, outside the palace, the crowd erupted in cheers and shouts as they looked up at the sky.

It turns out that Zhao Hao had already made preparations here. He originally intended to use the sea beast's heart to threaten the queen and obtain the key fragment.

Unexpectedly, someone else interfered, so we decided to activate the second plan and go straight for a restricted-content live stream!

This shocking conspiracy that led to the king's tragic death and usurped the royal bloodline was thus exposed to the public.

By the time the old wizard realized something was wrong, the guards and knights were already rushing to the door.

Zhao Hao led Xiluo directly to bypass the battle and plunder the harem.

"Orange! We're counting on you this time! Quick, find the key fragment!"

Orange: "Hey, I've got it!"

No, it's a jade bitter gourd.

"Hey, I've got it!"

No, it's a gemstone brooch to enhance your charm.

"Hey, I've got it!"

No, it's a giant watermelon! Damn it, what's the point of keeping a giant watermelon in the harem?

Orange's ability is, after all, to find treasures, and it can't specify what things are worth, so it can find anything with a little value.

At least what Orange (the cat) considers valuable, like the big watermelon that the two people and the cat are eating.

"Looks like we'll have to stall for time!"

Zhao Hao took out a stack of cut-out paper figures... Top-quality spiritual energy paper. After being refined and performed, these paper figures could maintain their strength at Black Iron 2-star for a short period of time.

Zhao Hao blew on the paper figures, and thirty or forty of them flew out, carried by the wind towards the battleground. In a corner, they transformed into guards and charged towards the old wizard who had the upper hand.

……

"Found it! This is it!"

Finally, seven or eight minutes later, Zhao Hao found a fragment of a key in a hidden compartment.

"Shall we hurry up and leave?" Xiluo asked nervously.

He was terrified by the sounds of shouting, screaming, and crying in the front yard.

He prides himself on being a civilized person, but he's not good at fighting.

However, Zhao Hao shook his head: "That old bastard killed the kingdom, seized the man's wife and daughters, and tried to usurp such a large family fortune. The king squandered his wealth, died, and his clan was wiped out. Even the children weren't his own... I ran into him today. If I don't kill him, how can the resentment of the honest people in the world be appeased?!"

Xiluo was fired up by Zhao Hao's words: "Damn it! Kill that old bastard!"

Orange-seat fanned the flames from the sidelines: "Kill that old bastard!"

Chapter 295 I Lost a River God!

The old wizard seemed to have been plotting for a long time, not just a year or two, and he even secretly influenced the queen and indirectly caused the king's death.

Moreover, it was not what Zhao Hao thought. Zhao Hao thought that he wanted his son to inherit the kingdom, but in fact the old wizard was even more ruthless. He actually wanted to reincarnate into the queen's womb and inherit the throne himself!

This kind of evil magic is too wicked to describe due to the interference of the censorship authorities.

The old wizard was originally at the peak of Black Iron 5-star, but he could not advance any further and had lived for over a hundred years and was nearing the end of his life, so he took a risk and decided to "reincarnate".

However, at the most crucial moment of the ritual, it was suddenly interrupted by a large number of guards rushing in...

Although he still had the upper hand on the field, and even killed more than twenty Black Iron 1 and 2-star guards, and even took down two Black Iron 3-star knights, he was actually already at his limit.

Especially the paper figures Zhao Hao sent later, twenty or thirty Black Iron 2-star paper guards, were fearless and worked together extremely well, almost tearing the old wizard's kidneys out.

Just as the old wizard had completely subdued the situation, scattered the first wave of guards, and dealt with the paper guards, and was about to escape before more guards and troops arrived, Zhao Hao appeared with Xiluo.

The queen, standing to one side, rolled her eyes and drooled, looking as if her spirit had been severely damaged; even if she didn't die, she would be in a vegetative state.

The old wizard also suffered a backlash from his spell, which damaged his very essence. Most of his spiritual energy was channeled into the fetus in the queen's womb, resulting in the spell being interrupted, the fetus dying in the womb, and the wizard himself sustaining severe injuries.

Even if he were to escape now, his strength would decline rapidly in a short period of time, and it's uncertain whether he would even survive for more than a few days.

However, Zhao Hao didn't want him to live!

Three minutes later, Zhao Hao dragged the old wizard, whose limbs were broken, whose body was covered with psionic insulating ceramic needles, and who was bound with psionic restraint locks, to the square in front of the palace.

"People of Langriris, this shameless and despicable wizard murdered the king and is plotting to usurp the royal bloodline. Now I hand him over to you. What do you intend to do with him?"

The crowd below was in a state of high spirits, and more guards had rushed over from afar, all shouting angrily.

Burn him!

"Beheading!"

"Torn apart by five horses!"

"Burn them! Burn them!"

There were all sorts of shouts from below, but in the end they all agreed to burn this wicked wizard at the stake.

The old wizard, whose psychic powers were sealed, was bound to a wooden frame, with a pile of firewood burning beneath his feet, and immediately let out a shrill scream.

The mob and soldiers were also filled with hatred, deliberately refraining from pouring oil, as if to slowly roast the old wizard over a low flame. They wanted him to suffer even more before he died.

Meanwhile, Queen Jane was already leading her troops this way and would arrive by the early morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Zhao Hao secretly told her: The royal bloodline of the neighboring country has been cut off.

Queen Jane nearly turned to the dark side after that black magic sacrifice trial, which directly increased her political attributes by 30 points, so she naturally understood Zhao Hao's meaning.

This visit might be a prelude to territorial expansion, or even the unification of the two countries!

Zhao Hao will not care what Jian does next; he will see how she performs.

He led Xiluo onward, for there was still a faraway place waiting for him.

It is said that Queen Jane later encountered a tall, magical white deer on the road and gained its approval.

The Kingdom of Nalangriris was established more than two hundred years ago by the ancestors of King Giano with the help of the white deer.

So it all fell into place naturally.

……

In the vast, impoverished and remote areas of northwestern China, there are countless towns and villages.

The development here started a century or two later than other places, only gradually being developed by immigrants in the last hundred years or so. As a result, it is much more backward and is known as a poor and remote area.

However, such places have more strange stories than the big cities in the heart of the continent.
