Chapter 370: Lily, did you see it? The continuation of the dream...
"Well, tell the truth if you don't want to suffer any more!"
The black-haired, red-eyed Fidelian woman was lazily lying on the desk in the mayor's office of Chernobyl. Someone knelt down and took the initiative to support her drooping legs and the big tail behind her.
This woman is the current supreme ruler of Ursus, and her word is final.
She is the daughter of Wan and Black Snake eight hundred years ago, and was later named "Thunder" by Wan Bai.
The people kneeling opposite Lei Ting, tied up behind their backs, were Tallulah, Yelena and the others who had previously intruded into Chernobog. Tracys left very quickly after regaining her human form. Lei Ting subdued the rest of the people in an instant after arriving. After enjoying the local customs and practices of Chernobog, she tried the intruders the next morning.
Lei Ting sent people to find out the origins of these kids in advance. She knew what she was doing. She didn't plan to do anything to them and just wanted to have some fun.
"You..." Lei Ting pointed his finger at Tallulah who was kneeling on the ground. This little girl seemed to be Nian's disciple and the descendant of Victoria's red dragon Arthur. Her appearance evoked Lei Ting's memories.
"You are a descendant of Arthur, right? I remember her. We are actually from the same generation. Victoria had not yet been established when I was young. I met her several times when I was traveling there."
"Ah?! Arthur?" Tallulah's shocked expression caused Lei Ting to be confused. It was as if she had no idea who Arthur was.
Lei Ting asked:
"Arthur is King Arthur, and her nickname is Lily...wait...you haven't heard of her? You are obviously Draco, but you don't know King Arthur?"
Talullah grew up in Longmen. To prevent her mother from being saddened by the past, Wei Yanwu and his wife never told Talullah the stories of her father's red dragon clan. Talullah had no idea about the deeds of her ancestors. Later, when she was taken to Rhodes Island by Nian for training, she did not hear about these things from Nian.
Sigh…………………………………………
Who would have thought that the last authentic bloodline of Victoria Red Dragon could only be known from the mouth of an old friend of Arthur.
"In the past, large tracts of land in the West were in a state of disorder and chaos. A hero wielded a sword to quell the wars in all directions. As her name became more and more famous, more and more people followed her. Over time, she called herself King Arthur, and the earliest knights who followed her became the so-called Round Table."
"But Arthur... Lily is a paranoid person. She seems to have a mental disorder. She cannot allow herself to do anything that violates the code of chivalry, nor does she allow the knights around her to do anything that tarnishes the reputation of chivalry. Her self-discipline is good for herself, but if she imposes it on others, she will easily be regarded as someone who does not understand human nature. Politics without humanity is short-lived, and a king without humanity will have no followers..."
"Lily shared her [life] with the earth in a barren land to feed her people. That land later became Victoria... But such behavior inevitably weakened her own strength and greatly reduced her life span. When she was fifty-eight years old, her daughter's rebellion also accelerated the loss of her vitality, and she died before she was a hundred years old."
"She was such a pathetic person. In the end, all her descendants were killed. Her last direct descendant didn't even know her story. It's even more tragic to think this way. It's really tragic... Lily..."
Lei Ting held his chin with one hand, looked at the dazed Tallulah and said:
"This is the story of a king who existed only in the past and did not understand human nature."
"So... you are very familiar with her?" Tallulah asked. Lei Ting quickly retorted:
"No! It's just... I just heard it! Yes, I heard it!"
Lei Ting was displeased and shook away the servant who was massaging her body. He jumped back and
Sit down in the office chair.
Although the Thunder is so stubborn, what is the truth?
More than seven hundred years ago, when King Arthur was in his twilight years, almost all the knights who followed her turned to her daughter's camp because of her loss of power. Her daughter occupied a large piece of land and established a place called "Tara" on her own, where she became the little king.
Poor old Arthur, no matter how glorious and heroic she was when she was young, she was no different from an ordinary old woman after she became old and weak. Because she overdrew her vitality too much when she was young, her physical condition deteriorated rapidly in her old age, and now she can't even lift a sword...
In fact, if she wanted, she could survive, as long as she absorbed the [life] of others around her and the land...
Her ability is to absorb and give life to other objects and creatures in the form of flames. As long as she wants, she can immediately regain her youth and instantly repair her old injuries. But she won't do this, because this is not the style of a knight, nor is it what a king should do.
So she will grow old and die...
Wan did something similar to prolong her life. Not everyone has her [awareness] and [unscrupulous means].
None of the people from the Round Table who had followed the king at the beginning were by his side when he was dying. No one was by his side when he felt his life was about to end, so he could not even fulfill his last wish.
But in the end, someone showed up. She entered Arthur's bedroom in the night and followed the evening breeze. She appeared beside Arthur's bed with a nimble figure. She stood there looking at the skinny old woman with a rare solemn expression.
"What a heartless bunch of guys. Look... King Arthur, those knights who once made great promises to you, in the end, no one stayed to take care of you in your old age."
"Are you here..." The old woman opened her dry lips and uttered a few words with difficulty. She tried hard to open her eyes to see the other person's appearance and called out the other person's name:
"Lightning... Knight of Thunder..."
"Don't call me that. I've stopped being a knight." The man seemed unhappy about being called a knight. "Arthur, I'm only here to witness the fall of your legend and to mock you for having nothing in the end."
The moonlight shone into the house, illuminating half of the person's body. It was a Fidia woman wearing a purple-black robe. Her right arm was wrapped in a silver-white arm armor that extended to her shoulder in order to cover up the conspicuous black and white arm tattoo.
There is no need to say much about this person's true identity.
Thunder also provoked:
"If you don't agree, you can try to absorb my life and then have a good fight with me."
"No need... You don't need to do this to keep me alive. You should understand that this is my own choice. Once I take someone else's life, that feeling will make me addicted, and then I will never be able to stop... This is not what I want..."
"So you are going to die in this ugly way..." Lei Ting frowned. She knew that it was useless to say anything more at this moment. She should just shut up and listen to the last words of a dying old woman...
Lei Ting knelt on one knee and approached Arthur, holding her hand which was cold from the fingertips. She could feel the life slipping away from this old body bit by bit.
"Thunder...Thunder, I am the first and last knight... After everyone else left, you were the only one who appeared by my side... Please listen to my last request..."
“After I die, throw the [Holy Sword] into the original lake…”
"Why? King, why do you want to discard the hard-earned magic weapon? Instead of leaving it to your descendants?" Lei Ting asked.
"My other descendants are too weak, and my eldest daughter, the only one who can master the holy sword, has her own ambitions... I cannot allow her to use it for killing and conquering in the future..."
"Please agree to my last request, Lei Ting..."
Lei Ting understood that Arthur was already hanging on to his last breath when he said this, and she couldn't bear to let him die with regrets, so she nodded and agreed as the last Knight of the Round Table.
Old Arthur died immediately, her eyes narrowed into a slit but not completely closed, Lei Ting reached out and smoothed them.
"I seemed to have a dream when I was taking a rest on the side of the road just now. I can't remember what I dreamed about, but I felt very happy in that dream. Has Thunder ever had a similar feeling?" Arthur said this when he and Thunder were riding on the alternating paths when they were young.
"No," Lei Ting denied decisively, "I hate dreaming. Things from the past always appear in my dreams..."
Lily knew that Lei Ting particularly hated others mentioning her past, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"drive!"
Lei Ting swung the reins, urging the horse to gallop forward.
"If you keep thinking about this, I'll leave you alone~"
"Wait for me..." Arthur hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.
And now, when Arthur... Lily had completely died, Lei Ting looked at her peaceful face, lowered his head and said to her:
"Lily, did you see it? The continuation of that dream? Just fall asleep forever in that happy dream..."
In that dream, the white horse ridden by Lily caught up with the black horse ridden by Lei Ting.
Ending song: "The Forest Where You Were"
That’s all for today.
Fast forward to the necromancer Sister Cao and find the strongest [trump card]
Sister Cao: Haha! God will not let down those who work hard! I finally found the legendary tomb of King Arthur. I guess as long as I can control her, the whole of Victoria will be mine, right?
Finally it worked... Start digging! (Sister Cao is dressed like a foreman and wearing an orange hard hat)
Thunder: Thunder Kick! (comes out of nowhere)
Sister Cao: Quack! (Screaming)
Chapter 371: Kill Tallulah’s head!
"What's your last name?" Lei Ting asked Tallulah who was kneeling below.
After hearing this, Tallulah looked at the guards on both sides nervously, then mumbled a few words and answered:
"do not know……"
Lei Ting laughed after hearing this, "That's weird, how can a person not have a surname?"
Tallulah's tail swayed uneasily, and she spoke a series of words while holding her breath:
"I... I originally thought my last name was Wan, but later on Rhodes Island, Wanbao wouldn't let me use that name. She said I was a bastard who had exterminated nine clans, and asked how a person like me could be worthy of the last name Wan. Later, I thought I should use the last name Nian, but my master wouldn't let me use that either, perhaps because he thought I wasn't worthy enough..."
Poor Tallulah, after experiencing a series of misfortunes in her personal relationships, the kindest person she met turned out to be Lei Ting, who now treated her like a clown... Tallulah mistakenly believed that Lei Ting's kindness to her was real, so she started to talk more.
"Later, I found a few Victorian history textbooks in the Rhodes Island archives, but I didn't recognize Victorian language. In the end, I asked an operator from Victoria to translate a few sentences for me. It said that my ancestor's surname was Atrias, so I think my surname should be this..."
"Oh, your last name is Atrias... Then how old are you now?" Lei Ting asked again.
Tallulah pursed her lips and nodded her head as she answered:
"I'm already 28, 29 in lunar age, and 30 next year." After saying this, Tallulah added:
"I haven't married a woman yet."
Lei Ting flipped through the files handed over by the officials below, looked at the black-and-white photo of Tallulah holding a sign, and asked:
"Where do you live now?"
Tallulah: "I have no place to live. I live wherever I go."
Lei Ting responded, lowering his voice:
"Then just confess from the beginning to avoid further physical pain." She put down the file in her hand. The morning light shone on half of her face, while the other half was submerged in shadow.
Lei Ting stared straight at Tallulah below.
"I know everything about you. Confess and I'll let you go."
"Ah..." Tallulah knelt on the ground and crawled forward a little on her knees. She didn't understand what Lei Ting was saying. She had already confessed everything she could. What else was there to ask in person?
"Tell me, what conspiracy do you have in Rhodes Island? Why are you running to this place called Che City in groups..." Lei Ting glanced at the other people below, and no one dared to look up and look at her.
"But I'm not from Rhodes Island..." Tallulah said aggrievedly, "I have long cut off ties with Rhodes Island."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to... I wanted a revolution!" When Tallulah mentioned the word "revolution", she straightened her back, but her lower body was still kneeling. This looked a bit weird, and I didn't know whether she was being tough or submissive, like the funny duck.
"revolution?……"
"Whose life are you trying to take?"
"Revolution? Rebellion!"
As soon as these words came out, officials from both sides started talking about it. Lei Ting did not stop these guys from whispering. She herself felt that these words sounded incomprehensible, so she asked:
"What kind of revolution are you talking about? Whose life will be revolutionized?"
Tallulah turned her head back and forth in embarrassment, sighing:
"I haven't... thought about it yet... I just want to give it a try first. I saw that there was also a revolution in Tara. There was a pair of Deep Pool sisters there who were also Drakes. I followed their example and started a revolution..."
"But do you know that rebellion is a capital crime?" Lei Ting leaned forward, and the last bit of morning light on her face was obscured by shadows.
"Ah! Behead?!" Tallulah was at a loss. When she heard the word behead, her soul flew away halfway. She felt that the shiny beheading knife was already against her neck. Her originally straight back also bent in frustration.
When she was on Rhodes Island, Wang liked to scare Tallulah with beheading. She often described the beheading process in great detail, so that Tallulah knew what it looked like even with her eyes closed.
Officials from both sides saw Tallulah's weakness and pointed at her bent spine and cursed:
"Look! Slave sex!"
Lei Ting ordered the attendant officer on his right, "Show her the confession she just gave."
The attendant took a large piece of white paper with words written on it and walked up to Tallulah. Just as he was about to put the paper in her hand, he heard a sentence:
"I don't know Ursus..."
The attendant had no choice but to take back the paper and asked Tallulah, who was kneeling on the ground:
"Anything else you want to add?"
Tallulah came to her senses. She suddenly realized that she was being asked to sign. She would definitely be beheaded after she signed. She looked forward in confusion, and her mind began to wander.
Wan Bao once said that in the past, beheadings in Yan State were very lively. Beheadings were held in the vegetable market, and the criminals were often paraded through the streets before being beheaded, and most of the time there was opera singing.
So Tallulah brought herself in, thinking about being locked in a prison van in tattered clothes, with only her head sticking out. The roads were crowded with civilians who wanted to see her beheaded, with smiles on their faces and necks stretched out like a group of ducks...
And accidentally, she found a familiar woman with a pair of deer horns in the crowd on the roadside, "Huh? Alina, you are working in Ursus.
"
Tallulah suddenly felt ashamed of her lack of ambition. She couldn't even come up with a few lines in such an occasion. Her thoughts swirled in her head like a whirlwind, and she tried hard to recall the Yan country operas she had listened to when she was young. But what should she sing?
"The Little Widow Visits the Grave" lacks grandeur, and the "I regret..." in "Dragon and Tiger Fight" is too bland, so it's better to "beat you with a steel whip"!
At the same time, Tallulah wanted to raise her hands, but then she remembered that they were tied, so she stopped singing "Holding a Steel Whip".
