Chapter 36.3

At that moment, he really wanted to go back in time and return to the shore of the holy lake of Ana thousands of years ago. He would grab Thenis and Feiza and wash their brains thoroughly: let you have a good time, bean-made men, look at your dear brother's bear now, the offspring you created are going to turn the world upside down...

It's a pity that he had no supernatural powers now, except that he couldn't die, he was almost no different from ordinary people. He could only stare at the handcuffs and shackles, and silently vomit a mouthful of old blood in his heart.

No, I have to find something handy.

After muttering this to himself, he scanned the room carefully.

This was probably a dormitory in the imperial palace. The specifications were not much different from Oswald's, but the interior decoration was brighter than that one, not as solemn as that one. It looked like it was for young people to live in.

The handcuffs and shackles that Oswald had put on him were quite humane. They were not fastened tightly to the bed. The chains were long enough for him to move freely in the room, but he couldn't go out.

Kevin rolled over and got out of bed. He didn't bother looking for shoes, so he just walked around the room with bare feet, rummaging through boxes and cabinets hastily.

"What are you looking for? If it's something that can be unlocked, such as a small stick, then don't worry, there is none." Oswald's voice suddenly sounded, sounding lazy and speaking slowly, the ending also dragged out a casual tone, not as cold and hard as before.

Unfortunately, Kevin was constantly taunted with the phrase "Hey, you can't hit me", which was quite aggravating. This was mainly due to Mr. Fassbinder's subjective addition.

"I said—" Kevin muttered as he rummaged through a half-length closet. Upon hearing this, he straightened up, lazily placing his elbows on top of the closet and said, "Don't think you're the emperor now. I won't dare to lay a hand on you."

His Majesty the Emperor stood at the door, holding a silver tray filled with delicious food and a glass of fruit wine. With a nod towards the iron chains in the room, he stated, "I know you dare to, so I took the liberty of locking them in advance."

Kevin shook the iron chains in his hand. "What? Do you really think a few chains can keep me locked up?"

Oswald condescendingly freed up one hand and gestured with a respectful "please", saying, "That may not necessarily be the case. In the event that you can break the iron chains with your bare hands, I am mentally prepared."

Kevin responded with silence. He knew he couldn't tear the chains apart with his bare hands.

"Okay." Kevin rolled his eyes in anger, lazily dragging the iron chains back to the bed. He picked up a section of chain and fiddled with it in his hand, asking, "Tell me, what did you do? What happened that made you reward me so ingeniously? I even opened the temple gates for you to obtain the holy water. My dear Majesty, are you a fish that has forgotten in an instant?"

Oswald stared at him for a moment before speaking. "Do you know how long you've been asleep this time?"

Kevin glanced out the window, noticing that it was still raining heavily and obscuring the daylight. "How long?"

"Seven days." Oswald revealed. "The dosage of the drug I gave you was actually very small. According to the medical officer, it should only make someone sleep for one night at most. Yet you slept for seven days. Do you know the reason for this? Shall I enlighten you?"

Kevin pouted.

"If I'm not mistaken, the last time you fell asleep was when you emerged from the depths, essentially being resurrected from the dead. Even then, it took three days and three nights of sleep to fully recover. However, this time, you've slept for a full week." Oswald narrowed his eyes, speaking calmly. "You took a stroll through the tomb of the god, which is even more exhausting than dying once. I refuse to believe you didn't anticipate this outcome."

Kevin lifted his eyelids and opened his mouth to respond, only to be interrupted by Oswald. "Do you remember what you said to me before you left? You spoke as if going to the tomb of God was as simple as having a meal. And what was the result?"

Kevin shrugged, still nonchalant. "In the end, I smoothly obtained the holy water, didn't I?"

Oswald didn't bother arguing over this matter. Instead, he stated firmly, "I bet that if I didn't lock you up, you would wake up today and dare to continue risking your life tomorrow."

Kevin couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. "Am I sick or something? I seem to be lacking self-preservation."

Oswald agreed. "Indeed, you are."

Kevin sighed in frustration. He wished he could grab something to smash against the noble face of the emperor, but unfortunately, Oswald had confiscated all the attackable objects in the room.

He used to think that this kid was just a bit strange, maybe a little excessively paranoid and extreme. Now it turns out, it's not just strange, but abnormal!

Allowing a lunatic to become the emperor would be disastrous for the Golden Lion Kingdom...

"I never said you couldn't untie it." Oswald raised his chin and said, "Accept your fate, I will untie them for you when you've rested enough. The wounds on your body will still be there for a couple of days."

Kevin sighed once again. "Understood, just wait. I'll definitely deal with you properly. The bigger you are, the more lawless you become."

"I've had them prepare something for you, such as baked rabbit meat and roasted orangutan fruit. I recall that you showed great interest in these two items," Oswald mentioned as he was about to step into the room with the silver tray.

Subsequently, Kevin lounged on the bed, patted the wooden cabinet beside him, and lazily remarked, "After rolling around in the cemetery for so long, I feel like taking a bath and soaking in a hot spring. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat anything."

It was clear that there was no way to dig a hot spring for him to bathe in within the dormitory, so he would have to go outside to wash up.

Oswald glanced expressionlessly up and down at him and stated, "Sorry, but you just showered this morning. Didn't you notice that you changed your clothes?"

Kevin was left speechless.
