Chapter 403: Model of a Benevolent King
Qi Ge touched his chin and said, "I know that if I want to change my job to a magic wizard-related profession, I need to be a magic recorder as a prerequisite.
As for the fact that even the magic wizard specialty requires a magic recorder, I had never thought of that.
It was a blessing in disguise."
Qi Ge turned to Le Meng and said, "Xiao Meng, since the second ring requires so many advanced auxiliary skills, you don't have to rush to find De Ken.
When I have time, I will take you to play in the wild more often, and then go after you have accumulated enough skill points.
Deken is a demigod.
All the tasks that can be done with Deken are high-level tasks with rich rewards.
We can also take this opportunity to trigger more tasks related to Deken and go together.
Otherwise, it won’t be easy to find him in the future.”
Le Meng nodded vigorously and replied: "Okay, Boss, I got it!"
Qi Ge looked at Li Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, where is your specialty mission?"
"Here, Boss."

grass!
Diya, these bastards, acted so quickly? !
In the second year after the previous life game was launched, there was an important branch in Erathia called the betrayal of Rod Hart.
Rod Hart, the legendary hero of Erathia, somehow stole the remains of King Griffin, the former king of Erathia and Catherine's father.
Rod Hart also teamed up with Diya to resurrect King Griffin's body into an unintelligent undead, and launched an invasion of Erathia, which had just ended the holy war, in the name of King Griffin.
The weakened Elasia was once driven to the outskirts of Shengtian City.
At the critical moment, Catherine rushed thousands of miles to help Shengtian City. She also delivered an inspiring speech before the head-on decisive battle:
“After going through untold hardships, our army finally defeated the Undead Army and arrived at the castle where my dear father, King Griffin, resides.
After defeating the skeleton soldiers guarding the city, I was finally able to meet my father Griffin face to face again.
It's time for Rod Hart to take the stage.
I have already found out that my father, King Griffin, was poisoned to death by Rod Hart.
It is time for my father to rest in peace.
In the name of King Griffin, I, Catherine, will complete the reconstruction of Erathia, and the glory of my father will always bless the prosperity of Erathia."
On the day of the final battle, Rod Hart asked Catherine very proudly:
"Hahaha! Do you have the courage to point your sword at your beloved father, Catherine?"
Then, in front of Rodhart, Catherine hung up and beat her father's ghost, and finally scattered his ashes.
Highlight a great filial piety.
All I can say is that Rod Hart doesn't know Catherine at all.
Catherine and Sir Mlak are somewhat similar, both are very pure idealists.
Her ideal is to restore the glory of Erathia and allow the people of Erathia to live with dignity.
For this ideal, she is willing to sacrifice herself.
With Catherine's inherent ruthlessness, she would not hesitate even if a living Griffin King stood in front of her, let alone a dead one.
Qi Ge touched his chin.
Unexpectedly, the [Blood Sacrifice to Xuanyuan] quest chain is actually related to King Griffin.
This event was supposed to happen in the middle of the second year of her previous life, but Diya has already obtained the body of King Griffin.
I have to say, these Diya bastards will feel itchy even if they don't engage in conspiracy for a day.
Qi Ge tapped his head and said to Li Xiaobai:
“I understand, I’ll do this task later, there’s no rush.
According to the coordinates, King Griffin's remains should now be in the capital of Diya.
We'll go find Catherine after that bastard Rod Hart gets the body of King Griffin out.
Now go find the words.
If Catherine suddenly has a brain storm and takes Gru to rush to the tower, we will be doomed.
With Catherine's personality, it's not impossible for her to do something as stupid as destroying the high ground tower without any troops."
Although Li Xiaobai was a little confused, he still nodded obediently.
"Okay, Boss, I'll listen to you."
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said, "Now, let's go to the underground city first."
Le Meng, who had not yet received the news, tilted her head in surprise and asked, "Dungeon?"
"Yes!" Qi Ge nodded, and then said: "Go and do something important that concerns the future development of our territory!"
…
…
The Silver Spirit sailed slowly on the Dark Dragon Sea leading to the Dark Dragon City.
Qi Ge was lying comfortably on a recliner, enjoying the flower fairies' soft hands massaging her feet and shoulders, while introducing Zhang Fuyou and the others to the details of the underground city's forces.
“I told you before that the national conditions of the underground city forces are extremely special in the entire Asian world.
Rather than saying that Nigong is a complete country, it is better to say that Nigong is a United Nations composed of many small countries.
The current leader of Nigon is the Dragon Queen Muriel. Of course, I am more accustomed to calling her Dragon Lady Muriel.
Rumor has it that Moril was originally a human, and she gained the power of a dragon because she drank the dragon blood in the combination treasure Dragon Blood Bottle.
But the authenticity of this rumor is seriously questionable.
Because if you study Morrell's body carefully, you will find that she is a real black dragon girl.
Anyone who has studied the historical materials of the Heroes' World will know that the Dragon's Blood Bottle contains ancient dragon blood.
Ancient dragon blood, which is the blood of fairy dragons, rust dragons, holy dragons, and crystal dragons.
Muriel drank the blood of ancient dragons and turned herself into a black dragon?
It's a lie.
Even the brainless skeleton soldiers would not believe such nonsense.
Ah, that’s getting off topic.
In short, the current boss of Nigong is Moril. Her territory is the largest city in Nigong, which is also the capital of Nigong, Black Dragon City.
But Morriel had no control over the other cities of Nigon.
Apart from paying taxes to Black Dragon City every year, other cities are almost not under the jurisdiction of Black Dragon City.
The fundamental reason for this situation lies in the particularity of the territory of the underground city forces.
Nigon's territory is almost entirely underground.
But this underground is not the same as the underground we understand in reality.
The so-called underground world is more like a fragment of the world embedded in the Yasa world.
As long as the owner of the underground world chooses to close the entrances to the underground world and the Yasa world, even demigods will not be able to enter.
For the lords of the underworld, if they really encounter a difficult enemy, there is a special solution - even if I can't beat you, the worst that can happen is that I will close the country, what can you do to me?
This results in each underground world being relatively independent.
Each underground world is equivalent to a country within a country.
Every advantage has its disadvantages.
The world is in pieces, which means it is incomplete.
Incompleteness means single production.
Take the Potato City we visited before as an example.
The production of the entire Potato City is highly concentrated on grain and minerals, with almost no other resources.
The same is true for the Dark Dragon City we are in now.
There are extremely rich underground forests here, with abundant timber resources and various fruits, making it an excellent habitat for harpies.
But in Dark Dragon City, you can't find any resources above level 2.
The limited resources forced the lords of the underground forces to trade with other forces and help each other in order to progress and grow.
Their relative independence also allows them to close their doors to the outside world when times call for it.
This special type of world has created Nigong’s unique national culture.”
"oh oh!"
Li Xiaobai clapped his hands and nodded in approval:
"I see. Even though I didn't quite understand what you said, I think it was pretty impressive."
“Hehehe.”
Qi Ge laughed and said:
“It’s pretty amazing, in every sense of the word.
What’s funny is that the Nigong, who are scattered into a group, are actually more united than Bracada, which has a unified regime.
Every time there was a conflict between Nigong and Bracada, the leader of Nigong would either pay money or contribute manpower, and none of them would drag their feet.
The city lords of Bracada, big and small, all shirked their responsibilities and made their own plans. They were as fierce as wolves when the wind was favorable, but as weak as dogs when the wind was unfavorable. "
Lin Xi asked in confusion: "Boss, why is this happening?"
“It’s actually very simple.
The lords of Nigong are well aware of the principle that if one's lips are gone, the other's teeth will be in danger.
Once Black Dragon City fell, the Tears of Yasha, which belonged to the underground city forces, would be controlled by Bracada, and he would not be able to continue to be a local emperor.
After closing the country to the outside world, the enemy could not get in and we could not get out, and the limited resources would definitely lead to limited development.
Without supplies, it means slow death.
Moril and the Black Dragon King have the fortitude to tolerate the situation of a country within a country, but the Great Council of Titan and Bracada does not.
What's more, according to the usual practice of the dungeon, all spoils of war belong to the lord of the combatant party.
If you lose the battle, the good days will be gone forever. If you win the battle, all the territories and resources you have seized will be yours.
Can we not fight hard?
But in Bracada, even if you win a battle, you may not get any reward.
If all your soldiers die, then you're really dead, and you'll have to spend your own money to support them all.
Therefore, although Bracada is stronger than Nigon overall, it always suffers defeat on the battlefield. "
"I see. I understand."
Lin Xi nodded.
Qi Ge raised his feet, swaying his toes as he spoke:
"Let's get back to the topic just now.
The Dark Dragon City we are going to is the territory of the legendary hero Lorelei.
Basil Ray's story is very interesting.
Luo Lelei is a human being. Before she became a hero, she lived in Dark Dragon City.
At that time, Dark Dragon City was not called this name, but was called Saint Fran City.
The mayor of Saint Fran City is a human being, and no one knows his name.
Because that human being has a kind heart and loves his people like his own daughters, we will call him the “Benevolent King.”
Similarly, a country established by a benevolent monarch should of course be called the Country of the Benevolent Monarch.
"The Benevolent King" is a pseudo-legend from Erathia.
He was a deserter from the battlefields of the Second Crusade.
Originally he had a miserable life here in Nigong. After all, as a deserter, he would be looked down upon no matter which force he joined.
But somehow, he got lucky and discovered the undeveloped country of Renjun.
At that time, the Kingdom of Renjun was just an underground world without a home.
The entire Renjun Kingdom is made up of an entire underground forest.
The indigenous inhabitants of Renjun Kingdom are not strong either, with only a dozen or so harpy tribes.
This made Renjun very happy.
Without saying a word, he took out all the wealth he had accumulated over the years, built a city, and announced the establishment of the Renjun Kingdom.
He also gave the city a very Erasian name - Saint Française.
This is to commemorate his glorious time in Erathia.
But it is not enough to have a city, there must be people. Otherwise, who will he rule?
So he began to capture the local harpies in large numbers and brought them all back as his slaves.
"Renjun" is a human being, and a male human being.
After a man has captured so many harpies, he must have a harem, otherwise it would be unfair to the "benevolent king" who has been wandering for half his life.
The benevolent monarch also inherited the fine tradition of mankind and was loyal.
Renjun had only been maintaining a harpy harem for twenty years, and he was already missing the taste of human women.
Dungeons were common and the slave trade was thriving.
If you want a woman, buy it!
Therefore, Renjun, who had accumulated some wealth by relying on the rich timber resources of Dark Dragon City, bought some human female slaves from slave traders.
What a pity that the benevolent monarch not only inherited the fine traditions of mankind, but also inherited the bad habit of mankind - suspicion.
In order to prevent the bloody plot of the prince killing his father to seize the throne, the benevolent monarch made a wise and courageous decision.
I don't want a prince anymore!
So he was the only man in the benevolent city of Saint-Franc.
When the harpies and human slave girls got pregnant, they kept the girls as slaves, and when they gave birth to boys, they let them run wild. If they were still alive at the age of six, they were thrown to slave traders and sold.”
"Fuck!" Zhang Fuyou was dumbfounded. "Boss, aren't those harpies and humans all Renjun's biological sons and daughters?"
Qi Ge said sarcastically:
“Yes, that’s why I say he loves his people like his daughters.
The reason why he doesn’t say that he loves his people like his own sons is because his own sons are either dead or sold out by him.”
Li Xiaobai was also shocked: "Wait a minute, Boss, can Renjun and his daughter continue to have children? Won't this cause problems?"
Qi Ge shook his head and said:
“Unfortunately, no.
In our real world, various diseases can occur due to inbreeding, because the carriers of our genetic material are genes.
Gene exchange between close relatives will make many recessive traits dominant in the next generation, eventually leading to genetic diseases.
But the creatures in the Yasa world do not rely on genes for inheritance.
Therefore, inbreeding in the Asian world is actually not uncommon.
But there are not many beasts like Renjun who can treat their own children as slaves. "
Qi Ge continued:
"The emperor was also extremely unfriendly to the slave girls and harpies, beating and scolding them was the least he could do.
When he was in a bad mood, he would kill a few to cheer him up.
As a benevolent king, he certainly would not waste resources on female slaves and harpies whose attributes were halved as they aged.
Once the prime time had passed, he would quickly deal with the old slave girls and harpies.
Such tyranny is doomed to be unpopular.
In the small city of Saint-Franc, rebellions and slave escapes occurred every other day.
In order to prevent the slave girls and harpies from rebelling, Renjun simply closed the underground world for a long time and began to brainwash the slave girls and harpies.
He set up various reward and punishment programs to make the harpies and human slaves compete with each other in exchange for living conditions based on the level of their service to him.
He monopolized the right to educate newborn female slaves and told them that he was the god of this world and that he had unlimited power and could freely control the life and body of anyone.
…
Relying on various means to prevent problems before they occur, the benevolent monarch truly realizes that he is the only one who rules the country.
Even in the underground city where there are many weirdos, shit like Renjun is extremely rare.
And so, more than two hundred years passed.
Due to the huge difference in lifespan between legendary heroes and ordinary soldiers, Renjun is still alive after more than a dozen generations of harpies and human slaves.
At this time, almost all the women and harpies in the country of Renjun had the blood of Renjun.
His home is the country.
All the citizens are his daughters."
Zhang Fuyou couldn't hold it in any longer and complained loudly:
"Fuck! What country of women?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Qi Ge couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
“Although it sounds fun to us now, for the citizens living in Renjun Country, it is simply a nightmare hell.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.
Renjun didn't expect that his brainwashing had a fatal flaw.
The harpies, relying on their unique language, recorded everything that the benevolent king did.
At the same time, human female slaves also have their own methods.
They used diaries, murals, and every other method they could think of to record the various crimes committed by the benevolent monarch.
They are all in the dark, waiting for their chance to strike back."
Qi Ge's expression became serious:
"He who does evil will eventually perish.
Their salvation and the judgment of the benevolent king will eventually come.
To become a pseudo-legend, one must be a true master.
Although Renjun’s character is “noble” and his moral integrity is “full”, his talent is real.
With excellent blood inheritance, a genius emerged among the many daughters of the benevolent monarch.
Basil Ray.
She didn't have that name at that time.
The name Luo Lelei was given to herself later.
When Lorelei was a child, she got lost near her home and entered a cave maze, where she was found and secretly raised by a harpy witch.
With the help of the harpy witch, Rollelei found many letters and drawings left by human female slaves.
She finally understood why her mother, who had always taken care of her, suddenly disappeared when she was eight years old.
She also knew that if she continued to stay in Saint Fran, once she reached the right age, she would become a tool for the emperor to vent his desires.
Since childhood, under the training of the harpies, Basil had hatred for the Renjun engraved in his heart.
When he grew up, with the help of the harpy witch, Rolle escaped from the Kingdom of Renjun and joined the army of another underground lord.
It only took the gifted Rollerey thirty years to become a master hero.
Having just become a master, she couldn't wait to return to the Kingdom of Renjun and launch a rebellion.
Basil's call gave almost all the harpies in the Kingdom of Renjun hope.
They all defected and joined Rollelei's camp.
After a hard battle, Luo Lelei, as a master, killed the benevolent king.
Before Renjun died, he didn't even know who killed him.
He never imagined that Rollelei would be one of the many daughters he never cared about.
He had abused and killed so many female slaves that he didn't even realize that Rollelei was missing.
Later, Luo Lelei took over the Kingdom of Renjun.
She changed the city of Saint Fran into Dark Dragon City, stipulated that all harpies had equal status with humans, and there would no longer be any slaves.
Rollelei said that all the harpies and humans in Dark Dragon City have the same bloodline.
Therefore, all the harpies and humans in the entire Dark Dragon City are sisters.
She sold the wealth accumulated by Renjun over the years and exchanged it for food and clothing that were in short supply in Dark Dragon City, which she used to improve the lives of humans and harpies.
She built a tactical academy, popularized universal education, and restored normal cognition to the humans and harpies who had been brainwashed by Renjun.
She built numerous harpy nests and provided free food and care to all the elderly harpies.
She stipulated that everyone in the entire Dark Dragon City, from herself to the lowest-ranking Level 1 Harpy, could only enjoy the same material conditions.
Let us be rich together, and let us be poor together.
Respect is mutual.
Rollelei's kindness almost made all the harpies and slave girls cry with joy.
Under the leadership of Luo Lelei, they worked diligently and without caring about personal gains and losses, and soon upgraded Dark Dragon City to the main city.
Therefore, Dark Dragon City is also one of the few non-slave cities in the entire underground city.
Later, Rollelei became a legend, and Dark Dragon City became a holy place in the hearts of many harpies in underground territories.
Rollelei has been working to free the harpy slaves throughout the dungeon.
The harpies under the leadership of Rollelei can always burst out amazing fighting power and morale.
Although Lorelei is a human, she is revered by all harpies as the Supreme Lord of the Harpies.
Because of Basil's existence, other underground forces and cities did not dare to persecute the Harpies openly.
Otherwise, Luo Lelei will really fight them to the death."
"Hiss~ There is actually such a legendary story?"
Zhang Fuyou muttered to himself.
"Boss, this benevolent king is such a jerk, isn't he? He is even worse than King Zhou of Shang."
"Brother Fuyou, you can't insult King Zhou like this.
Compared with him, King Zhou of Shang is a model of morality and a model of a wise ruler."
Qi Ge sighed and said, "This is the sadness of the Yasha world.
The gap between individual strengths is too large, and the survival of the weaker party depends heavily on the moral standards of the stronger party.
Luo Lelei and Renjun are exactly two opposite extremes.
Perhaps, the harpies and humans living under the rule of a benevolent king were suffering too much, so the mother goddess Asa sent Basil to heaven.
In short, you must remember that in Dark Dragon City, the status of the harpy is extremely high, even if it is only a first-level harpy, you must respect it very much. "
"Boss, we understand."
At this moment, Yinhe jumped up to Qige and said:
"Brother Admiral! Come to the shore quickly!"
Qi Ge stood up from the recliner and said with a smile:
"Very good. Galaxy, take the flower fairies to rest in the nearby sea area.
Fuyou, Linxi, Xiaobai, let's change to a small boat and set off. "
