Chapter 38 The Heart
of the King
"Aragon; When that guy Roland came here, he followed a broken ship, but unfortunately... That ship really shouldn't have been moored on this island, as a result, the whole ship was swallowed ... And the guy from Aragon was brought here by me, and it was here that I made some deals with him. Chris said a little vaguely.
But this level of hinting is enough!
Du Wei certainly read the history of the Roland Empire! In fact, in the first few years when he came to this world, the enlightenment teacher that Count Raymond found for him taught him a lot of things, and Du Wei also read the biography of the founding emperor of the empire... He totally read that kind of stuff as a novel.
Aragon•; Rowland. The founder of the great Roland Empire... His life, in Du Wei's opinion, can almost be said to be a kind of yy legendary novel that he has seen in his previous life!
This Aragorn has the same strong luck and bizarre encounters as many of the novel's protagonists. To use a very fashionable phrase from his previous life: his luck is almost against the sky! Life is harder than small!
The biography describes the experience of the founding emperor of the empire in great detail. Aragorn was born into a declining aristocratic family, he was not even the eldest son of that family, but the third son of his father, he had no right of succession to the title and enjoyed adventurous activities from an early age.
At the age of sixteen, he left home and went out on adventures alone. Aragorn once participated in some adventurous mercenary teams, and he was a young man full of adventurous fantasies.
And that era was also the most adventurous era on the mainland! Unlike now, the entire continent only flew a thorny flower flag of the Roland Empire.
At that time, the Roland Continent was a Warring States era in which large and small countries were divided. Local wars on the continent are constant, large and small countries are annexing each other, wars, intrigues, tricks... It can be said that it was an era of heroes and legends.
Sixteen-year-old Aragorn became obsessed with maritime adventures after years of hanging out in a mercenary organization.
At that time, Aragorn was twenty-one years old, already a good swordsman, and had some savings in several years of mercenary career. So he invested all his property in a merchant ship and ventured into maritime trade.
And the first experience of going to sea hit Aragon. His ship was shipwrecked, the whole ship was finished, and only he alone miraculously escaped and ascended to heaven and saved his life!
All historians agree ... If there had not been such a shipwreck, then the great founding emperor of the empire would probably have become a successful maritime trading merchant in the end... And not the emperor!
However, because of this, after the dream of maritime trade was shattered, Aragon returned to his hometown, his father died, and all his property was given to his son... Aragon gets the least part.
His father was originally a low-level nobleman with only a small title, and naturally left not much inheritance. And Aragon made a move that was almost a defeat in the eyes of others at that time... He sold all his property and organized a small private army.
This act of bankruptcy was ridiculed by everyone, because at that time Aragon's home was located in a peaceful country on the edge of the continent, far from war, and did not need to be guarded by a private army.
And then, Aragorn bet right! Less than half a year later, war broke out, and the small country was embroiled in a war between the great powers, annexed within a month, and then fought back and forth between the two great powers.
Both of Aragon's brothers died in the war, and the manor and farm were burned and plundered by the chaotic army.
Aragon, on the other hand, joined the army of one of the great powers with his private army and was given a not low rank.
After this, Aragorn began to show extraordinary strength!
He showed extremely powerful force, and even killed the enemy general in one fell swoop on the battlefield, a high-ranking knight who was famous on the continent at that time, and then Aragorn's accumulated countless merits in the war...
After the end of the war, he received a knighthood and a fief ... A piece of land that was countless times larger than his father's domain!
And Aragon then surprisingly refused the call of that great power, withdrew from the army, and turned to the arms of the Sorcerers' Guild... In less than a year, he actually obtained the qualification of a magician!
Three years later, the war broke out again, and by that time Aragon was already a high-level magician!
Throughout history, no one has ever been able to do this!
Someone once asked Aragon why he became a magician... At that time, the young nobleman replied: My army needs the cooperation of magicians... Unfortunately, magicians are too rare for me to recruit, so I can only learn magic by myself.
When the war broke out again, Aragon's country was in danger, and even the capital was besieged by the enemy country for three months. At that time, the king issued an order for all the nobles in the country to lead their private army to the king... And the private army led by Aragon was the last to arrive.
Until then, the enemy and its own armies were exhausted.
There is no doubt that Aragon's accession came at the most delicate time.
In the last big battle, Aragorn himself once again killed the opponent's general Lin, a great knight! And the subsequent combat power at the level of magicians, Aragorn actually cast a forbidden spell-level magic, and bombarded the chief magician of the court of the enemy country on the spot!
The war situation took a turn for the worse... After that, the war ended, and the state power that was badly damaged was almost controlled by Aragon! At that time, the king had to make Aragon a duke.
A year later... The death of the king (on this issue, historians have always debated, most people privately believe that the timing of the king's death is too 'coincidence', but just when Aragon's prestige reached its peak, the death of the old king, and left no direct descendants, so that the country's supreme leadership fell into the embarrassing situation of no one inherited, although it is not clearly recorded in various historical sources, but the text implicitly implies that this matter may be inextricably related to the great founding emperor. The
last to benefit, no doubt, was Aragon.
He married the old king's collateral niece, and then worshipped his wife as queen!
Three years later, the Queen died of illness and Aragon was officially crowned His Majesty!
In later history.
Aragon•; Roland, molded into an invincible commander, led his army invincible, destroyed countless countries, and took less than fifteen years to unify the entire continent, planting all the parts of the continent with the banner of thorns! Single-handedly created the Roland Empire that has survived to this day!
All of this is a lot like a story in a standard saga novel, isn't it?
Du Wei desperately recalled in his mind what he could remember about the life and deeds of the founding emperor...
Obviously, as Chris said... Aragon met this demon's servant when his first sea adventure failed...
And then, Aragorn suddenly became as big as a shooting starRising on land... That was after that sea adventure!
Obviously, that founding emperor must have obtained some kind of benefit in the transaction with this demon servant!
Thinking of Aragorn 's almost magical life, and his great achievements...
And now, when this servant of the devil came up with the word "deal" to Dewey ...
Du Wei suddenly felt that his heart, which had been calm for more than ten years, began to beat!
"Lovely little nobleman, your heart is beating." Chris said with a proper smile.
Du Wei took a deep breath: "Respected Mr. Chris... My heart is beating... That's because I'm being tempted by the devil!
The weird smile on Chris's face was even worse, he suddenly waved his hand gently, and the two women behind Vivian and Joanna snorted at the same time, and then fainted softly.
"Our deal, no one else will know." Chris laughs: "When they wake up, they forget what happened here, even me." The
opportunity is right in front of you!
Du Wei's breathing began to be rapid: "Deal... Tell me, what can you give me... And what are you going to take from me?
Chris did not directly answer Du Wei's question, he said slowly: "Don't you want to ask what I gave Aragon in the first place?"
"I think I can guess a little." Du Wei pondered for a moment and replied slowly.
What did Chris give Aragon?
Du Wei's first thought was Aragon's earth-shattering strength! Kanbi Paladin's powerful martial arts! And the powerful magic of a high-level great magician!
Both of these things make Aragorn have the status of a strong man standing at the top of the continent! He can kill the opponent's toughest warriors on the battlefield, as well as defeat the opponent's magicians! And successfully created the image of an invincible commander, so that thousands of soldiers almost worshiped him to death!
And at the same time... Du Wei also doubted one thing.
It is... History records... Aragon seems to have fought countless battles in his life, but he seems to have not suffered any injuries! Even after his old age, he was not sick or painful, but died one night in his sleep.
His life was almost perfect.
"In addition to his powerful martial arts and magic, you also gave him an almost immortal body?" Du Wei tentatively said.
"Not immortality, but a body without Achilles heel." Chris smiled: "Just as Aragorn was leaving here, I gouged out his heart. His people left here, but his heart remained in this place forever. Therefore, it is difficult for him to suffer any more injuries! Because no matter how fatal the injury, no matter how deadly the poison, can not hurt his heart... His heart stays by my side. The
corners of Du Wei's mouth and eyes twitched at the same time!
Heart?
"You don't want my heart too, do you?" Du Wei looked at Chris with some malice: "What are you leaving your heart for?" Did you make it and eat it? Frying or grilling?
"Neither." Chris didn't seem to care about the mockery in Du Wei's words, but replied very calmly: "I left his heart by my side, just as a souvenir." The heart of a true king... A king's heart... Is there a more interesting collection than that?
Du Wei sighed... Although he felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as Chris said, since the other party was not ready to tell the truth, he couldn't help it.
"So, you only have the heart of Aragorn?" Du Wei frowned: "There are no other conditions?
Chris's answer was simple: "No, just a heart."
Looking at Du Wei's bewildered eyes, Chris added with a smile: "Create a king with your own hands, and hold his heart in your hands... Such a thing, the pleasure in which is unimaginable, my dear little nobleman!
Du Wei sighed.
"Well, what are you going to take from me?" Du Wei smiled and said, "If you want my heart, then I don't promise you."
"No, no, no, a king's heart is enough as a collectible, I don't like to do repetitive things." Chris smiled, "Besides... So many years have passed, and my abilities are fading and weakening. I'm afraid I can't give you as much power as Aragon. When Aragorn left here, he took half of my magic with him! Otherwise, do you think a knight can easily become a good magician? No
wonder... Du Wei whistled.
"Moreover, that guy from Aragon also broke our agreement in the end, and there are some final terms in our transaction that he has not completed." Chris shook his head: "So I found that this one-time transaction was really risky for me." If you walk out of here and don't do what I promised, I can't do anything because I'm a prisoner here and I can't leave this island. So... After that Aragon deal, I've figured out a way... That is, I will divide the future transaction into several parts to complete, rather than giving you all the benefits at once.
"Like what?"
"Such as... I can give you a little sweetness first, my dear little nobleman. Then, you have to do something as I asked, and when you do that, you come back here to see me, and I'll give you a new payment! Chris smiled slyly.
"Sweetness, will you give me sweetness?"
"You can do whatever you want." Chris's smile is really evil at this moment!
His voice also carries an inexplicable temptation!
"I can give you everything! It's not too powerful, but it's enough to impress anyone! If you like women, I can give you a pair of 'seductive eyes'! Then when you gaze at any woman, the other person will definitely fall in love with you! For example, these two female magicians, if you like, as long as you look at them, they are even willing to take off and dance in front of you! Even if the woman you like is a consecrated saint... As long as you look at her, she can take off her divine robe and show her beautiful body in front of your eyes, you can do whatever you want..."
Belch... It seems to be very impressive...
Du Wei sighed... This is indeed a good condition, but it does not seem to be enough for Du Wei to nod.
"You know, I'm a nobleman, I think, I shouldn't lack women." Du Wei expressed his meaning tactfully: "Moreover, I am not the kind of man who is very.
"Well... If you don't need a woman so urgently, I can replace you with a dragon's heart! Your body now looks weak... Well, then replace it with a giantAfter the dragon's heart, your body will quickly become stronger! You'll have the power of a dragon! You can become an invincible warrior on the battlefield! Even... I can also give you a little extra gift... For example, lets you use a small amount of dragon magic.
Du Wei fantasized in his mind about turning into the image of a tough muscular man...
Uh, forget it...
"Sorry, I'm really not interested in war. Strong force does not make me feel any security ... In fact, historically, the vast majority of powerful warriors, for real power figures, only played the role of thugs.
"Then I'll give you power." Chris thought for a while: "If you like power, I can give you a skill to see through the hearts of others, so that your eyes can see through all the disguises of the opponent, and your ears can directly listen to the voice of the other party's heart!" These give you the first advantage in politics... With your smart mind, then you will become an excellent powerful person in the shortest possible time!
"I am the eldest son of the vice president of the Imperial High Command." Du Wei pouted: "The first heir to the throne of the Luolin family, do you think I will worry about my status and power in the future?" My father will become the military commander of the empire in the near future, and even the prime minister of the empire. And I, quite possibly, inherited everything from him! So, I'm sorry, but this proposal of yours also does not touch my heart.
In fact, Du Wei was lying.
However, Chris has been stranded on the island, naturally not knowing that Du Wei has long been deprived of the position of heir in the family!
Even if it is a powerful and wise old monster like Chris, he can't help but be a little annoyed.
"Little noble! What exactly do you want! (
Du Wei replied: I want to recommend votes... )-
