Conquest

    Chapter 316 [hypocrisy! 】

    A rush of cough came from the room, and the sound was like a bellows that tore the mouth, which sounded full of a feeling of ruin and weakness.

    Standing outside the room, several court attendants wearing linen robes bowed their heads nervously, seemingly fearful.

    In the hallway, only those court warriors in gold armor are still standing tall.

    The rushing footsteps were uploaded from the corridor, and the court medical officer in white ran in the next step of the attendant. After a while, another priest and Mage from the church also rushed.

    In this huge palace, all the candlelight on the thick candlesticks around the arms seemed to be concentrated in the huge bed in the middle of the room! The magnificent bed, the bed made of jewels and gold, the thick soft sofa like the clouds, the most noble old man in the empire, is struggling to survive.

    In the thick curtains, his figure was a little fuzzy, and there were some spells depicting strange symbols hanging on the high bedposts.

    Kontos's pale face is like a dead man, his cheeks have been deeply immersed in, his gray face still reveals a strange cyan.

    He looked thinner, the gorgeous robes on his body, but the wrists that came out of his sleeves were like bones! His original majestic body, just under the skeleton…

    The emperor's face was very painful. It seemed that every breath was a great burden for him, and the intense pain afflicted his **.

    Qty.Candles, candles…"The emperor spit out a vague word from the mouth: "All, light up!" AllAfter screaming hard, he whispered to himself: "It’s too dark…Too darkLike a damn grave…Too dark

    Several close-fitting servants quickly found candles, lit on the surrounding tables, and candlelight of dozens of huge candles, but the emperor seemed still unsatisfied and continued to shake his head and muttered: "It’s too dark…Too darkLike a grave…"

    Finally, after almost a hundred candles were lit, the beating of hundreds of candlelights, while bringing light, seemed to be unable to dispel the cold smell in the room.

    The medical officer of the court first came to the emperor's side, he carefully helped the Emperor to lie down, and then his fingers untied his robe, reached out on the emperor has been thin like firewood on the chest of a few times, and then carefully strangled the emperor's wrist and neck, checked the frequency of the heartbeat, and opened the emperor's eyelids, Finally, a thin needle was removed from the sleeve, gently stabbed into the emperor's chest skin a little bit, a drop of blood beads.

    The medical officer quickly dropped the tip of the blood-bearing needle into a transparent bottle. The bottle originally contained some transparent liquid, but when the blood was immersed, the original pure and transparent liquid suddenly disappeared. There was a ripple in it, and it quickly turned into a faint blue…

    The medical officer's face became extremely difficult to look at. He looked at the emperor lying on the soft couch, hesitated, his lips squirming, but he didn't seem to know how to open his teeth.

    At this time, finally, Mage and the priest arrived.

    The court Mage in the red robe just came in, and all the servants in the room were relieved. Obviously, this court Mage is the one who is trusted by everyone.

    Court Mage quickly came to the emperor's side, just quickly swept the emperor a glance, quickly removed from the sleeve a small wooden box, opened the box, with two fingers from the inside gently twist out a turquoise green leaves, this leaf green is so tender, crystal clear, thin long, It looks as if it's full of life!

    Mage looked calm, pinched the leaves to the emperor's mouth, gently pinched the emperor's chin, helped the Emperor Kontos open his mouth, and sent the leaf into the emperor's mouth…

    The leaves were laid on the emperor's tongue. Soon, a "beep" sound was heard, and a gentle mist emanated from the mouth of the emperor, as if the leaf began to melt at a fast speed!

    The emperor was sent to lie down, and in his mouth, the voice of "嗤嗤" continued to come.

    Finally, the fast, a faint stream of light quickly emerged from the emperor's face, and then quickly flowed all over his body.

    The miracle has appeared!

    The cheeks that were originally soaked and deeply trapped, the muscles suddenly filled up miraculously, and the original gray-white white face like a dead man suddenly became ruddy again!

    The hard, like a broken bellows, finally calmed down, and the heart-wrenching cough finally subsided!

    The emperor finally opened his eyes and showed a trace of ease in his eyes. He looked at the court Mage around him and sighed softly: "Thank you, Lord Ayip, you can always save me from the fire. ”

    The court Mage did not say anything to the emperor, but just turned and looked at the pastor behind him and nodded to him.

    The priest came over and saluted the emperor, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, please lay down, let me start to show you the spell."

    Said, the priest took out a small bottle from his arms, gently poured out some holy water, picked up a few drops, sprinkled on the emperor's forehead, is about to chanting a curse…

    "Wait, wait a minute!"

    The face of the court medical officer finally changed. He strode up and grabbed the priest's sleeve: "Wait a minute!"

    The look of this court medical officer is anxious: "No! Can't do this anymore! ”

    The emperor opened his eyes and looked at the court medical officer, frowning: "What?"

    The medical officer's look was hesitant, but in an instant, as if he had made any decision, he looked up and looked straight at the emperor's eyes, loudly: "Your Majesty! You can no longer use magic treatment! This approach is not helping you recover at all, but…And it is killing you! ! ”

    The emperor frowned, and his face sank.

    "Stupid guy, don't go away!"

    The court Mage smiled coldly, gently waving his sleeves, and suddenly the body of the court medical officer fell back. When he landed on the ground, the two servants next to him quickly came up to lift him up.

    "silly?! You are stupid! ! ”The court medical officer's face was determined, and after he broke away from the court's attendant, he struggled to stand up and pointed to the court Mage. "You are murder!" This is a murder for your majesty! ! Can't continue this way! ! ”

    When the "murder" was given out from the mouth of the medical officer, the corner of the room suddenly appeared in the silent voice of several court warriors. The middle-aged man who was always silent was like a shadow. Generally appear in the corner.

    The court medical officer bit his teeth, took off the hat on his head, threw it on the ground, and then slammed it down, staring at the Emperor Kontos on the bed: "Your! Really can't go on like this! These damn gods are simply cheating you! ! ”

    He said, he raised his bottle high: "Do you see the color of the water in this bottle! Once your blood gets contaminated, it turns blue! This shows that you have been poisoned very deep and deep! ! ”

    "Nonsense."The court Mage shook his head and stared at the medical officer sneer: "You guys who are incompetent can't cure the disease." But the brilliance of magic can dispel the pain of your armpits! Your ignorant mind can't understand the magic of magic, but use these abominable words to blame…"

    "I really don't know magic!!"The medical officer looked up at the Mage reluctantly, loudly: "Maybe! In the eyes of your noble Mage, people like me are indeed small! You can easily take away my humble life by simply hitting your fingertips! ! But I am a physician! Although I don't know magic, I know the human body! I know medicine! ! I admit the greatness and mystery of magic! But…magic, after all, not omnipotent! ! It is impossible to solve all the problems! ! ”

    He was sweating, moved forward with his knees, kneeling in front of the bed, facing the Emperor Kontos on the bed, loudly: "Your! I am incompetent. In the face of your serious illness, I cannot use medicine to dispel these diseases for you…But this is not the incompetence of medical skills, but…There is no such thing in the world that it can solve all the problems! Your illness, medical skills can not be solved, but the same, magic can not be solved! ”

    Unable to resolveCourt Mage sneered: "If you are not blind, you should see that your temperament is much better now."

    "Exactly!"Medical officer loudly: "Not bad! But this is a kind of deception! Is a kind of…A murder! ! ”

    He took out a booklet from his arms and said loudly: "Your Majesty! As your medical officer, my duties also include recording your illness! From this noble Mage for your first treatment, all the records after that, I have recorded it here! A few months ago, when he first used magic to dispel the pain, the effect of the treatment lasted for half a month, and your illness relapsed! Immediately, the second magic treatment lasted only ten days! The third treatment lasted only seven days! The fourth time four days! Today, you have to treat it almost every day! ! The effectiveness of each magic treatment is getting shorter and shorter! But this Mage, the magical leaves that you give, the dose is getting bigger and bigger! I remember the first treatment, he only gave you a quarter of a leaf! And today, even if you take a whole leaf, you can only stop your illness for less than a day! ”

    He threw the book on the ground and pointed to the pastor next to him. "There is even one of the most ordinary people who knows the truth: Healing Spell can't be used multiple times!" Because Healing Spell is not really recovering from physical damage! In fact, just use this spell to stimulate the body's function to grow quickly and self-recover! ! But this kind of spell, used much more, is actually harmful to the human body! Instead, it will consume a lot of people's own strength! This simple truth, let alone this noble Mage, even a magic apprentice should know this common sense! But this Mage, every time will allow the pastor to show you Healing Spell…Isn't this murder? ! ”

    The Emperor Kontos sat on the bed. His face was calm and he couldn't seem to see any fluctuations. It was just in the pair of eyes, as if he didn't know what the flash was shining…

    Court Mage's face was very ugly, staring at the medical officer, angered: "Ignorance! I have a magic potion, how do you know it! ”

    "I really don't know! But I am a medical officer! ”The brave medical officer said: "Magic is magical, and it is impossible to reverse the laws of the world! orIt can be done, but it doesn't seem to be the level you can do! Although I don't know your magic potion, I know at least medical skills! I know what is good for the human body and what is harmful to the human body! at leastWhat is poisonous, I can still tell it! ”

    He said, his eyes flashed a faint color, and he slammed his head: "Your Majesty! I know that you are eager to get rid of this painful disease, so you are gradually no longer trusting medical skills! But please believe that magic is not a panacea! It is impossible to solve all problems with magic! To treat diseases, you have to rely on medical skills! I know how I say, you can't believe me completely…"

    He bit his teeth hard, holding the blue liquid, loudly said: "You took those magical leaves, the body is full of toxins!! This toxin is enough to kill people! If you don't believe it, please see! ”

    When he finished, he took the bottle and sent it to his mouth. He would drink the blue liquid in the bottle!

    The emperor’s eyes changed and he whispered: “Stop!”

    The middle-aged man in the corner suddenly appeared in the side of the medical officer, and when he reached out, he took the bottle from the mouth of the medical officer. The medical officer glanced up and looked up at the mysterious expert around the emperor.

    "To prove, you don't have to find death."The emperor sat on the bed and shook his head slowly: "Take two dogs!"

    Soon, there were servants who brought the two dogs to the room. The dogs raised in the court were naturally strong.

    The medical officer looked at the middle-aged man and firmly said: "Give the dog a drink, if the dog does not die! I committed suicide! ! ”

    The middle-aged man looked at the Emperor Kontos, closed his eyes and nodded.

……

    Soon, the bottle took part in the blue liquid of the emperor's blood, and gave a dog less than a third. After a few minutes, the dog suddenly choked a few times, twitching, and suddenly Falling on the ground, after a few squats, it was killed! !

    In the room, the servants and guards around were suddenly shocked. Many guards had pulled out the weapon and surrounded the court Mage!

    That Mage looks ugly, but still loud: "No! There was a medical doctor’s own potion in the bottle, maybe the potion would have been poisonous! ”

    The medical officer immediately said loudly: "If you don't believe it, you can try again!" This time, just cut your skin under the armpit, just a few drops of blood, nothing else, then give a dog a drink…Naturally clear! ”

    The emperor opened his eyes and flashed a sharp edge in his eyes, but immediately touched a silver knife from the bed and quickly cut his thumb! The blade that had been stained with his own blood was thrown to the middle-aged man.

    The middle-aged man nodded and took the knife and gently cut the skin of the remaining dog…

    Five minutes

    But after five minutes, the dog suddenly twitched up! In less than a moment, he screamed a few times, and the white foam came out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground! !

    This time, even the emperor himself changed color! !

    The middle-aged man turned back and looked at the emperor, and there was a strange and complicated meaning in his eyes.

    "Everyone goes out, Ayip, and the medical officer."

    The emperor raised his hand.

    The order of the emperor made all the guards stunned, but when the emperor’s majestic eyes swept over, finally everyone retired.

    The medical officer looked up at the head and watched everyone go out. The Mage was already on the ground, watching the emperor, with a hint of helplessness.

    "Okay, get up."The emperor smiled bitterly: "Get up."

    "Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence…MeIt’s Mage.

    "I don't blame you."The Emperor Kontos shook his head: "From the beginning, you told me that this treatment is toxic and can't really cure my disease. I can barely let me recover in a short time, but it will greatly shorten my life……All I know is my own choice. I don't blame you. ”

    The medical officer is stunned!

    After all, he is also in the Royal Family for a long time. When he turns his mind and turns his mind, he realizes that he is afraid of doing something bad!

    "You are also up."The emperor looked at the medical officer: "I don't blame you. You are loyal to me. I will do this. I will only thank you for your loyalty and will not blame you."After a pause, the emperor smiled bitterly: "But you owe this Mage an apology."

    The medical officer immediately bowed to Mage: "Hello, I…"

    Mage smiled and said: "Okay…I did not act well and was seen by you. Don't blame you…Your loyalty to your majesty is naturally good. ”

    "I need a little time, I need to let the subjects see a healthy emperor! Need to let the soldiers see their emperor still on the wall! I can't let outsiders see my weak look! This will reduce the morale of the army and the cohesiveness of the people. ”

    The emperor slowly said: "I know that this method will only make me die faster, but…I have no other choice. ”

    After a pause, he looked at Mage and the medical officer in front of him: "What I want to know now is…How long can I live? ”

    Seeing that both of them were hesitant, the emperor immediately sighed: "I don't need any boring comfort! More need no good lie! Your answer will have a huge impact on the fate of the empire! I have to know exactly how much time I have left! I need to make the most of this time to let me deal with some of the most important issues! ”

    "Half a month or so."The medical officer replied his answer: "There are too many toxins in your blood, although I don't know what way Mage is using these toxins to kill you…But as the toxins improve, you have begun to damage your body! and alsoIt seems that this toxin has begun to hurt your body, and the speed will be faster and faster. So…My judgment is that the short is 14 or 5 days, the longest, but only 20 days. ”

    The emperor picked an eyebrow.

    MajestyThe court Mage shook his head: "My opinion is not so optimistic."

    He glanced at the medical officer next to him: "This gentleman's judgment is based on the toxin content of your current body blood…Stop my treatment unless you start now. Then the days he said are reasonable…However, you still need to continue treatment to ensure that you have a clear mind…Every time such treatments, you will shorten your life again. According to my calculations…If you want to stay awake for the rest of your life, you need to continue to continue treatment…So, according to my calculations, the rest of your time will not exceed…Ten days. The shortest words…It is about seven days. ”

    7 Days

    The emperor's look was full of haze, but soon he suddenly laughed: "Good! Knowing your own death time is always much better than suddenly falling down and leaving a mess. ”

    He immediately shook his head: "Will the taste of death…Oh, I don't have time to feel this! ”

    Said, the emperor stood up from the bed and looked at the two: "Thank you for your honest answer. Please believe that your answer has brought tremendous benefits to the Empire. ”

    After that, he looked at the middle-aged man: "Now, I need to meet our Prime Minister…It’s time to make a will – send someone to bring our Prime Minister Lord…Oh, Adric will not have to, let him continue to accompany those Atlantean. ”

    In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor personally boarded the wall, so that the guards who had just repulsed a rebel attack at noon suddenly got a boost!

    The emperor personally inserted an emperor flag on the tower of the Arc de Triomphe, and then pointed to the emperor's flag: "I swear here!! After this war, if you can win, all of you will be the new honour of the empire! My Krenma family will never be in the same day! ”

    Looking at the cheers of the soldiers on the wall, there was a man sitting under the wall of the city, lazily leaning there, gently wiping a spear in his hand.

    The majestic figure is short hair like a steel needle.

    The night forest looked up at the people on the wall who were holding the weapon cheering, watching the focus among everyone, such as the emperor of the stars…

    "hypocritical."

    A sneer.
