Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 340: Parliament’s Warning
"Hatching monarch?"
After hearing what No. 2 said, No. 5 and No. 7 were both surprised. It was the first time they heard such words.
No. 2 patiently explained, "It means to force the two states that have reached their limit into a desperate situation, and then kill them in an extremely cruel and torturous way. This kind of trial is usually serious. If you die in the trial, you will really die. There is no luck, and there is no such thing as fake deterrence."
Wolf leader No. 7 shrank his neck. Even a big guy like him felt terrified when hearing about such a cruel trial.
Isn't this equivalent to killing all these two states?
And it was a knife from his own family.
There's nowhere to escape.
If he fails to become a king, he will die. This is too extreme.
"Is the Jiang family ready to fight to the death?" Xu Shen's eyes were cold. If a big family would do something like this, it showed that they were really at the end of their rope.
I don’t know if Sister Li is also in the trial.
In other words, she had failed the trial and died.
"At this point, the Jiang family has no other choice but to fight to the death. After being eaten away, they will be left with nothing anyway, so they might as well fight to the death." Number 2 understood the Jiang family's approach and said:
"If other families want to reduce their losses afterwards, they can only fight quickly and decisively, and cannot waste time with the Jiang family. Otherwise, if they exhaust the Jiang family, it will be meaningless even if they defeat it."
Xu Shen's eyes flashed. It seemed that the action against the Jiang family would be carried out soon.
After all, if No. 2 knows all this, then why can't other families fail to see it?
“These big families are so inhumane.” No. 5 sighed, and her voice changed into a soft and cute girlish voice.
The leader wolf laughed and said, "We are more normal. Those in the inner city are a little crazy . We used to envy the core members of those big families, but we didn't expect that they are worse than dogs in a critical moment. They live a much worse life than us. They enjoy so many benefits on weekdays, but they throw them all out in the critical moment. It's pitiful."
"Other people call this happiness for a lifetime and suffering for a moment, but for us, we suffer for a lifetime..." No. 5 concluded helplessly.
The leader wolf asked: "What about happiness?"
"Does it count when one is liberated at the moment of death?" No. 5 asked back.
The leader of the wolves was speechless, and smiled bitterly: "Looking like this, these guys are still the best deal."
"Of course."
Hearing the two sighing, No. 2 chuckled and said, "If you are willing, you can go to the Jiang family now and participate in the hatching trial. I believe they are happy to accept you."
"But we didn't enjoy it, so we don't want to die in vain."
No. 5 said : "I don't want to become a king. It would be nice if I could live a leisurely life until I grow old. After all, I can meet so many people every day. This kind of life is already very happy."
The wolf leader was surprised and asked, "You get to know a lot of people every day? What's so happy about getting to know people?"
"Isn't it nice to be able to chat with all kinds of people?" No. 5 asked, his voice changing into that of a weathered old man.
The leader wolf was speechless, feeling that he could not understand the other party's train of thought, but except for himself, most of the two states were a little neurotic, and No. 5 was already close to normal.
Xu Shen ignored their chat, said hello to No. 2 and left the spiritual secret space.
I looked at the time. It has been five days since I wrote the letter.
The time specified in my letter for me to meet Sister Li in the inner city was seven days later, so there were still two days left.
If Sister Li can't come, it will probably be very dangerous.
If that's the case, then there's no need for him to help the Jiang family.
The next day.
Xu Shen was practicing in the Hall of Light as usual, when suddenly a sound of wind was heard. Then, in the fourth level of the world, Xu Shen saw a figure coming here as if strolling in the garden.
Seeing Xu Shen in the ruins, the other party smiled and asked, "Who is the city lord here?"
"Who are you?"
Xu Shen stopped practicing sword skills, restrained his strength, and frowned as he looked at the other party, a strange king.
The man who came was middle-aged, with triangular eyes, narrow pupils with white spots on the lower part of the eye, high cheekbones, and a faint smile on his face. He looked around casually, without any hostility or murderous intent.
"It looks like Pamela has been defeated."
The middle-aged man looked around and shook his head, sighing, "I didn't expect that a person with time ability would also lose. Among the kings of the eight base cities, no more than two can beat her... Are you the new king?"
Xu Shen's eyes were cold, and he said, "Don't beat around the bush. Who are you? If you don't tell me now, you may never have a chance to speak again!"
"You're really angry."
The middle-aged man smiled faintly, not caring about Xu Shen's murderous intention, and said: "You know the inner city, then do you know the existence that is above the inner city?"
Rule the parliament?
Xu Shen felt a chill in his heart. If he had not seen the green-haired woman's memory through Xia Tong, he really would not have known.
I always thought that the inner city was the sky, and the sky of the inner city was the seven major families.
"A member of the parliament?" Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other person carefully: "Are you the monarch?"
"Um?"
The middle-aged man was quite surprised by Xu Shen's reaction: "It seems that you know a lot. The king of the inner city doesn't have a person like you, and neither does the king of the outer city. The new king knows so many things. Could it be that you have... colluded with the anti-inner army?"
Xu Shen felt horrified that the other party even knew about an organization like the Anti-Internal Army.
Although the Anti-Internal Army is not a secret organization, it is ultimately hidden from the public.
"Don't say such harsh words. Whether I cooperate or not is my business. Since your parliament knows about the anti-internal army, but allows them to exist, what's the meaning of that?" Xu Shen asked back.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You'd better not get involved with them. If it were any other king, I wouldn't bother to bother with them. But it's surprising that you were able to deal with Pamela and snatch this city from her. I hope you don't take a detour."
"What do you mean?" Xu Shen's eyes were cold.
"The anti-internal army is just bait, it will be retrieved sooner or later."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Our parliament will not favor the inner city, but we will not allow anyone to try to wreak havoc, unless the inner city really needs to be reshuffled and reorganized. At that time, we will acquiesce to such existence, but now is not the time."
Xu Shen was stunned. He didn't expect that the anti-internal army was a trap set by the parliament.
"Is it fun to do this?"
After coming back to his senses, Xu Shen's face became even colder, and he said, "People's hearts cannot stand being tested, so why bother testing other kings' reactions to the Inner City? Can being loyal enough to the Inner City bring any benefits?"
"You misunderstood."
The middle-aged man said, "We didn't set up the Anti-Inner City Army. We just noticed their actions, which they thought were covert. Do you think their real purpose is to fight against the Inner City? No, what they really want is a seat in the parliament. They just use the hatred of the believers in the parliament towards the Inner City as a rallying force."
"Ultimately, it's all about personal gain."
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and judging from the other person's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
Are those anti-insiders who harbor hatred all cannon fodder and stepping stones for the leaders of the organization?
How shameful it is to take advantage of the hatred of desperate people.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Such an organization will be suppressed by the monarch sooner or later. They are too ignorant and have no idea of the monarch's strength. It is not something they can imagine, and victory cannot be achieved simply by relying on numbers."
"Although they are both monarchs, the difference between a monarch and a king is more than just a little..."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him: "Are you not the monarch?"
"Of course I'm not." The middle-aged man said, "If I were the monarch, you would probably be kneeling down to talk to me now."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows: "Really? Normally, when you meet the monarch, do you also have to kneel down to talk to him?"
The smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "You will understand when you see it. The gap between kings is greater than that between a king and Chu Tai."
"Is it because of the legendary soldiers?" Xu Shen asked calmly without getting angry.
The middle-aged man said indifferently: "Not only that, the monarch's own ability and combat power are beyond the average monarch, and can easily suppress most monarchs. Coupled with the almost perfect legendary soldiers, the improvement is not a little bit. You will feel what despair is. Even the seven major families in the inner city have to bow their heads in front of the monarch during their most glorious period!"
"Really? Can you tell us about their battle records? Or in other words, what are their abilities?" Xu Shen asked calmly.
The other party is a king, but he is so respectful to the monarch, which shows how extraordinary the monarch is.
But what should these monarchs do if they are confronted with the queen ant who has obtained the scarlet cloak?
In Xu Shen's opinion, the queen ant who can travel through time is basically at the pinnacle of the king.
Even he couldn't defeat the queen ant in a one-on-one fight.
That's right, if Maeve hadn't interfered with the past time, the Queen Ant could have easily killed him.
"It seems that you have some ideas." The middle-aged man heard Xu Shen's words and laughed slightly contemptuously, saying:
"The monarch's information cannot be disclosed. If you are confident and want to challenge him, you are welcome to come and see him in person. In addition, the monarch allows public challenges and will accept challengers' requests for battle."
He smiled and said, "As long as you are prepared to die, it will be fine."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not continue to talk about this topic. He asked, "Why did you come to my place?"
"There's been quite a bit of commotion here lately. I heard that a new person has been brought in, so I came to take a look. Don't worry, it's just a routine review, and I'm also letting the new person know the rules of the House of Commons." said the middle-aged man.
"oh?"
"The parliament will not easily interfere in the affairs of Dicheng. As long as Dicheng pays taxes on time, it will be fine. In addition, all the required mineral resources and ruins beast resources must also be produced according to the standards."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Apart from these, everything else is free. Whether you call this city Mouse City, Ant City, or the current Light City, it's all up to you. Even calling it Dog Shit City is fine - as long as the people in this city don't mind."
“This is really freedom.”
Xu Shen sneered, feeling the disgusting sense of superiority from the other party's words. This feeling was even stronger than that brought by the inner city.
