Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Royal palace, night.

At this time, the banquet hall was already in a mess. After the banquet, the various founders of the Dragon Slaying Alliance had left one after another. The army was about to set off, and they still had many things to arrange.

Now the only people left in the banquet hall are Beskod and Xu Yue, as well as the drunken Majesty the King.

On the rooftop, Beskod held on to the railing and looked into the distance. Under the bright moon, the distant sky was covered by a gloomy and dense black cloud.

In the dark clouds, azure blue lightning flashed endlessly. Although there were no bursts of thunder, the depressing and terrifying atmosphere was already coming from far away, which was the direction of the dark valley.

"Xinhuo, how do you think this dragon-slaying battle will end?"

Hearing Beskod's inquiry, Xu Yue, who was standing by, responded softly:

"Of course the Black Dragon was defeated, and Lord Beskod returned to the empire with glory and precious jade."

Xu Yue did not mention the names of the others, and Beskod did not react.

"Oh, so confident?"

"The Black Dragon Society failed fifty years ago, and it will do the same now. What's more, this time we are the active party, and we will bring peace."

"Ha." With a chuckle, Bescord was noncommittal about Xu Yue's answer.

"The black dragon is not a blind disease. Even if the black dragon is eliminated this time, the continent of Altria will just return to its previous state of war."

"Humans, elves, mages, priests, our group is united by a common fear, but it won't be long before we fall apart due to our own interests."

"As long as there are differences, fights, and too many voices, there will never be a moment of peace on this continent. Just like today's farce, before it even started, the Allies almost started fighting, haha ,alliance?"

When it came to the farce in the banquet hall today, Bescord's face showed sarcasm. The leaders of the major forces quarreled. In the end, it was a young child who stopped the quarrel.

How ridiculous. Although their coalition is nominally dominated by human kings, at the banquet just now, no one really cared about the so-called His Majesty the King.

Thinking of this, Besked's eyes became even colder. He turned to look at Xu Yue, who was listening silently, and said with deep meaning.

"Peace cannot be brought by killing a black dragon. There are too many different voices on this continent, so noisy that every force can only keep raising the volume and shouting at each other."

"So, the only way to achieve peace is to have only one voice on this continent, a voice that can overwhelm everything and make all forces shut up. Do you understand?"

Bescord's eyes were deep, as if burning with blazing flames. After Xu Yue looked at these eyes for a moment, he lowered his eyes slightly and responded.

"I understand that after the Black Dragon War, the Black Dragon Baoyu will spread a voice to every corner of the continent, and that is your voice."

"Ha." Beskod chuckled and did not respond. Instead, he turned to look in the direction of the banquet hall, where a plump red figure was stumbling over. He was our respected human king.

"Haha, Beskod, I will decide on the Baoyu. After killing the black dragon, you must bring the Baoyu back to me. With the Baoyu, I will become the master of the continent."

The human king Cassius III was holding a golden wine glass and was walking towards Beskod with a flushed face. Under the influence of alcohol, he was already imagining that after he got the jade, he would sit on the throne and rule the entire continent in one fell swoop. scene.

Bescord did not speak, but stood on the somewhat dim rooftop, looking coldly at the human king who approached him from the brightly lit banquet hall.

At the junction of the cold moonlight and bright candlelight, two figures slowly approached.

Bescord's eyes moved away from the king and shifted to Xu Yue beside him. Although he said nothing, the cold murderous intent in his eyes was clearly evident.

Xu Yue understood and took a few steps forward to support His Majesty the King as he staggered closer.

"Beskold, if I talk to you again, do you hear me?"

Being supported by Xu Yue, the king did not resist. He was indeed a little drunk now. He glanced at Xu Yue and found out that it was the follower Beskod had been keeping behind him today. He stopped paying attention to him, but he didn't hear Besko for a long time. Cord's reply, his tone began to gradually increase.

"Bescord. You heard..."

"Pfft."

This time, before the king could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sharp pain from his heart. He lowered his head and saw a silver palm pulled out from his heart, and the sharp claws at the front of the five fingers were dripping with blood.

"you you……"

Xu Yue held the king's limp body with his left hand and wiped the blood-stained palm of his right hand on his exquisite clothes a few times. After wiping away the blood stains, he threw the dying king to the ground.

The plump body hit the luxurious carpet, making a muffled sound, and Xu Yue's cold announcement spread with it.

"Your Majesty, you are too noisy."

[You killed the human king Cassius III. 】

[The target is the head of the human empire, and you gain 9.4% of the source of the world. 】

[You get a treasure chest (blue)]

On the rooftop, Bescord looked at the murder scene in front of him expressionlessly. He slowly approached until the king on the floor had completely silenced himself.

"Lord Bescord."

Seeing Bescord approaching, Xu Yue stepped back half a step, and the coldness in his previous tone disappeared.

Beskod nodded, stared at Xu Yue's still calm eyes for a while, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the murder that had happened before, even though the person lying on the ground now was the most powerful person on the continent. King of the human empire.

"Take it, I heard that you seem to be interested in this thing."

A scroll was thrown by Beskod, and Xu Yue reached out to take it. After seeing the introduction of the item, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Noticing the flash of excitement in Xu Yue's eyes, Beskod smiled, and then solemnly told:

"The large airship you want has also been arranged. Go to Cook when we launch the army tomorrow morning. He will make arrangements for you. You will follow the army to the front of the Dark Valley. But after the war begins, you will not have to fight monsters, but will be able to fight at any time. Stand by and rush to the back of the Dark Valley as soon as you receive my signal, do you understand?"

"As you command, Lord Bescord."

"Well, go ahead."

Xu Yue bowed and left, leaving only one person and one body in the banquet hall.

Bescord looked down at His Majesty the King, who was gradually turning cold on the carpet, with cold eyes.

"A foolish and incompetent person cannot be the king of the mainland. I will do this for you, Your Majesty the King."

"Can that flame really be controlled? Lord Bescord, I don't want our plan to go awry."

Not long after Beskod finished speaking, a charming voice sounded from behind. The dark elf walked out of the shadows with enchanting steps, stood next to Beskod, and together they looked down at the corpse at their feet, which she had witnessed in the shadows before. the whole process.

"He is a good sword and a backup option. They are all my people in the imperial capital and the airship. If they betray me, he will be unable to move forward on this continent."

"And, he's a smart guy."

As he spoke, Beskod looked at the hideous hole in the heart of the human king.

"From the moment he killed the king with his own hands, he had no way out. If he obeys, he will be the sharp blade to eliminate dissidents after I ascend the throne. If not, he will be the best sacrifice when I ascend the throne."

After a moment of silence in the banquet hall, the soft voice of the dark elf sounded again.

"Sir, you are the only voice that can exist on the continent."

………

Outside the palace, Xu Yue looked up at the golden light coming from the window on the second floor. His face was dull, and his eyes moved to the scroll of "Arrow Control" in his hand. There was a smile with unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth, and he recalled in his mind. Before getting up, I chatted casually with a knight who was leading the way.

"Is this a beating, or a reward? Lord Bescord~"
