This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 459

  Chapter 459 Heaven's Proud Son

  On an empty and uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, the emperor sat on the top of a boulder on the top of a cliff, looking at the sparkling sea.

  The sea under the setting sun is full of golden ripples. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles the sea surface, dyeing the skyline orange red. A few seabirds fly across the sky, bringing bursts of wet and salty sea breeze.

   "It's so beautiful..."

  The emperor couldn't help sighing.

   How long has it been since he watched the sunset so seriously?

  It seems that since he became an adult, he has been busy, busy learning and exploring, busy socializing, busy thinking about various things, the schedule is always full, and he has never had time that really belongs to him.

  Looking at the orange-red sunset in the sky, the emperor suddenly had a feeling of deja vu.

  A long time ago, when he was still young, he saw the same beautiful sunset in the monastery where he was studying.

At that time, the old dean of the monastery would always gather the children in the backyard every afternoon at sunset and tell them about various legends and historical figures. Among them, the most mentioned one is undoubtedly the most famous in British history. The legendary King Arthur.

"...It is said that Arthur has blond hair shining like the sun, a voice more melodious than a troubadour, and blue eyes like emeralds. He abides by chivalry, kindness, integrity, humility, benevolence, courtesy, and at the same time good at independent thinking, An almost perfect knight..."

"...In the end, under the witness of the Holy See and many knights, Arthur, as a entourage, drew the sword in the stone representing the divine right of kings, became the chosen son, the new king of ancient Britain, and led the knights of the round table to overthrow the The mighty rule of ancient Rome..."

  The old dean stood in front of the flower bed, telling the legend of King Arthur in a leisurely manner, while the children sitting on the grass below listened with gusto, without feeling the passage of time at all.

"...During King Arthur's reign, he helped the weak and the poor. Under his wise and mighty power, Britain ushered in unprecedented unity and prosperity, and established a prosperous country. King Arthur was also called the 'Eternal King'... Until now, there is still such a rumor among the people that when Great Britain falls into crisis, the heirs of King Arthur will pull out the sword in the stone again and lead the people to the future..."

  The old dean straightened his reading glasses, looked down at a group of energetic children, and smiled: "So, does anyone want to try to pull out the sword in the stone? Maybe the descendants of King Arthur are among you!"

  The children immediately became excited when they heard the words, chattering one after another, and then ran towards the stone pillars in the open space in the backyard.

  On the stone pillar, there is a knight sword inserted into the stone, and an inscription is engraved on the hilt: whoever pulls out this sword is the king of Britain!

"I come!"

   "I'll come first!"

   "After that I..."

   "You are not allowed to jump in line, those who jump in line are not qualified to draw the sword in the stone..."

  The boys ran to the stone pillars chattering, lined up consciously, jumped onto the stone platform one by one, and couldn't wait to draw the knight sword.

  However, even though the boys turned red from holding back and tried their best to breastfeed, the sword in the stone remained motionless.

  The children were not annoyed. They didn't pull it out once, so they went to the back to line up and tried again and again with great joy. They only hoped that one time they could miraculously pull out the sword from the stone, and from then on they would become the 'king' among the children.

While the children were having fun, the old dean walked towards the corner of the flower bed, where a boy with a handsome face was sitting alone on the steps here, flipping through a quaint book, and enjoying the joy in the distance. The atmosphere is out of place.

"Ians, why don't you try it?" The old dean sat down next to the boy kindly, and smiled at him, "You have beautiful blond hair and green pupils, just like King Arthur, maybe you can pull them out." It's the sword in the stone!"

  When the boy heard the words, he just turned his head and looked at the old dean with a serious look, then at the 'Sword in the Stone' surrounded by children in the distance, and said without any fluctuation in his tone: "It's too fake."

   "What's so fake?"

   "Whether it is King Arthur or the Sword in the Stone, they are all just stories fabricated by human beings, and they have never really existed."

The boy raised his head and looked at the stone pillar not far away: "As for the sword, it is just an ordinary long sword poured into the cement. Besides, it doesn't make any sense."

  The old dean was embarrassed when he heard the words, and smiled wryly: "You can understand... But since you know everything, why do you always show up on time every time you tell the story of King Arthur?"

  This question finally made the boy silent for a moment, and he frowned after a while and said: "It's incredible, I know it's fake, but I'm still fascinated by the characters in the story, and I come to listen to it again and again..."

  The old dean smiled gratifiedly: "My child, do you admire King Arthur?"

The boy looked at the old man in confusion: "I'm not sure if this can be called worship, because King Arthur did not exist, people always have selfish desires, no one can consistently abide by the spirit of chivalry like him, that is a man who only exists in The perfect individual in human imagination... However, I want to try to become the real King Arthur, become the strongest among human beings, and eliminate the power and oppression in the world, and become recognized and respected by all, and absolutely just King, in the drastic changes in the future, lead mankind out of its own path..."

The old dean looked at the serious expression on the boy's face in surprise, and after a while, he stroked his head and smiled, "It's a great dream... However, if you take this as your goal, you may live very tiredly, and even if you No matter how hard you work, you may not be able to achieve your goal in the end, because in this world, there will never be a shortage of people who are better than you and work harder..."

  The boy frowned immediately when he heard the words, and wanted to refute, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that there was no way to refute it. After thinking for a long time, he said reluctantly: "Then... what should I do?"

Seeing the always proud and conceited young man finally take the initiative to bow his head to ask him for advice, the old dean felt very happy, and hurriedly smiled and said: "It doesn't really matter whether you become a king or not. What human beings really need is not a man sitting on the throne." It is not a 'person', but an inspiring story. You just need to write your own story seriously."

   "My own story? A story like The Sword in the Stone?" the teenager asked.

"right."

  The old dean nodded gratifiedly: "Just like you are looking forward to the story of King Arthur now, there will be thousands of children in the future looking forward to your story and taking pride in imitating you..."

   "My own story..."

  The Son of Heaven sighed, and suddenly froze all over. He turned his head and looked at the sea a thousand meters away from him. The three giants who appeared quietly could not help but show a wry smile: "It came so fast..."

  His story, is it a bit too short...

  The Son of Heaven looked at the beautiful sunset in the sky, and heaved a long sigh of relief. What he was thinking about in his mind was the monastery and the old dean he had studied at: "I really want to go back and have a look..."

  Unfortunately, the giants will not give him a chance to be melancholy.

"Roar…"

   Several roars came one after another.

  The other three giants also appeared in other directions of the emperor. Six giants surrounded him, all staring at him like hungry wolves.

   "Hand over the authority stone!"

   In the mind of the Son of Heaven, a woman's voice suddenly sounded. It was obviously in a language he didn't understand, but he could understand the meaning naturally.

   "So that's the case, and there is such a means of communication..." The emperor exhaled, silently manipulating the maze to form.

  Since the story is short, let's add a wonderful last touch before drawing to a close...

   "The stone of authority is here, if you want it, come and get it."

  The emperor threw away the transparent box in his hand, and glanced at the six giants respectively: "However, there is only one stone of authority. How do you divide it among the six of you?"

This is a very straightforward attempt to sow dissension. The stone of authority is equivalent to the greatest pursuit in life for giants. No giant can resist the temptation of the stone of authority. If one stone can be used to make six giants kill each other, Of course it is the best result.

   Unfortunately, it turned out not to be that easy.

After the emperor finished speaking, the other five giants really showed greedy eyes on the box in his hand, and had the urge to **** it directly. However, the female giant immediately yelled, and the other giants suddenly Putting away their greed, they all bowed their heads to express their submission to the giantess.

"It seems that the female giant is not only rare among the giants, but also has a very high status, surpassing other giants." The emperor silently opened the communicator, and said to himself in it: "What will happen next Everything is recorded and sent out after my main body dies..."

   "Order received." AI's voice sounded in the headset.

   At the same time, Tianzi suddenly found that his body could not move, which was exactly the same as the feeling of being controlled by the giantess before.

   "It's this distance again... In other words, your limit control distance is only one thousand meters, and... when you control others, you can't move yourself..."

  The Son of Heaven turned his head and looked, except for the giantess who stayed where she was, the other five giants had already rushed towards him.

  The giant with the helmet on his head was the first to teleport to the side of the emperor, and stretched out his hand to **** the box in his hand.

  At the same time, the giant who could make a ball of light immediately stretched out a finger and fired a particle of light towards the Son of Heaven.

  However, the imaginary explosion did not happen, and the figure of the son of heaven hit by the light particles became illusory until it disappeared. The light particles directly passed through the body and disappeared into the distance.

   On the other side, the helmeted giant's hand that grabbed the box was also thrown away.

This is not over yet, followed by countless giant mirrors rising in all directions of the giants, layered on top of each other, closely arranged, reflecting each other like a kaleidoscope, and in each mirror, there is a figure, or six A giant, or an emperor holding a stone of authority.

"Roar!"

  The giant that emitted light particles just now roared, and shot light particles again towards the image of the 'Son of Heaven' that is closest to it.

   "Boom!"

The mirror shattered under the impact of the light particles. However, the direction of the light particles that broke through the mirror was deflected, and it shot towards the other mirror at a high speed. Then, there was a continuous sound of shattering. The shattering of each mirror will Let the direction of the light particles be deflected once.

  Finally, after going through a tortuous trajectory, the light particles rushed towards the giantess from a tricky angle.

   "Boom!"

  The next second, the explosion sounded.

  But this time, it failed to hurt the giantess, because the shield giant temporarily applied a shield to the giantess at the last moment.

   "Welcome to the Labyrinth of the Light God..."

   "The visitor is a guest, and for the rest of the time, I will entertain you all alone..."

  The voice of the Son of Heaven resounded in the mirrors in multiple directions, layer upon layer, as if everywhere.

  The giantess has been concentrating on observing all the mirrors around her, and at the moment the Son of Heaven spoke, she suddenly pointed to one of the mirrors.

  The giant wearing the silver helmet instantly moved to the mirror and punched it out.

   "Boom!"

  The mirror shattered again, and this time the giant's fist brushed against the corner of the emperor's clothes, but it was a pity that it was delayed for a moment, allowing the emperor to escape again.

   "Teleport... Then how about trying this..."

  Tianzi's surround sound sounded again.

  The female giant quickly pointed in another direction, and the silver-helmed giant was about to teleport again, but at the moment it moved, a burst of dazzling light burst out on the several mirrors in front of it.

  Under the strong light, the silver-helmed giant instinctively closed his eyes, but he only teleported a small distance, which was not as far as taking a single step.

   "Sure enough, your teleportation can only be activated when you are in the 'line of sight' position. Once your line of sight is disturbed, the teleportation will be invalid..."

  The Son of Heaven's voice sounded again, and he was being teased continuously, making the giants involuntarily become anxious.

   "Don't worry, we still have enough time to get to know each other..."

   "Then, please reveal your secrets to your heart's content in the mirror world..."

  The Blood Emperor stood on an island tens of thousands of meters away from the Son of Heaven, and through the binoculars, looked far ahead at the giant palace that was like a mirage on the sea ahead.

  Half an hour has passed since the Son of Heaven trapped the six giants in the maze. During this period, there was no sound coming out of the maze, and no signal was detected. He couldn't imagine what happened inside.

  On the surrounding sea, more and more surviving players came from nearby and slowly gathered around, all of them looked at the huge palace in the distance in shock.

  They have already learned the general situation, and heard about the choice made by the emperor. While sighing and admiring, they are also worried about the next development of the situation. Will the emperor survive? How long can this maze last?

  Until a certain moment, all the mobile phones present, whoever was turned on, received a message without indicating the source at the same time.

   Everyone clicked on the message in a daze, only to find that it was a recording that lasted half an hour.

   "The stone of authority is here, if you want it, come and get it..."

   "Welcome to the Labyrinth of the Light God..."

   "The visitor is a guest, and for the rest of the time, I will entertain you all alone..."

   After listening to a few words, everyone realized that all the sounds that happened inside the maze just now were recorded by the Son of Heaven and sent to everyone.

   To everyone's surprise, these recordings contain a lot of information about the giant's abilities!

  Although the giants have demonstrated their abilities many times before, but because the players were hunted from the beginning to the end, there was no chance to go back and test the truth of the giants.

  Until now, the Son of Heaven finally had ample opportunity to use the cover of the Light God Labyrinth to fully detect the abilities and weaknesses of these giants.

   The value of this piece of information is simply beyond imagination!

  Most players are ecstatically listening to the recordings and collecting all useful information.

  However, the blood emperor in the distance looked at the content displayed on the instrument in his hand silently, and sighed in his heart.

  The meter in his hand is connected to everyone's bracelets, through which the vitality of everyone nearby can be directly monitored.

   And just now, in the area ahead, the only vital sign number quietly returned to zero.

   At the same time, in the Game of Fools, all online players in City of the Rising Sun received a system announcement.

  【Son of Heaven, the lord of Rising Sun City, has died. 】

  【Start the city lord replacement program. 】

  【All the residents of Rising Sun City are requested to choose a new city lord among the two deputy city lords 'Smile' and 'Demon'. After seven days, the one who gets the most votes will automatically get the position of Rising Sun City Lord. 】
