Chapter 53 Leaving the Illusion(1/2)
Author: Jack Wells
In the room, Fu Xi leaned casually on a satin couch covered with silk, supported her face with her elbows on the handrail, and her eyes were half closed, like a sleeping statue.
On both sides of him are Tilu and Isumiya. They were called here just now and he had something to say.
As the candlelight shook, Fu Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
"Madeleine is coming soon."
"What?"
Tilu and Yumiya Isuma were both stunned, but he suddenly said something like this.
After the drastic change, the regent princess never came to General Yubius's mansion again.
Fu Xi stood up from the couch and rubbed his eyebrows. It was obvious that the Kingdom of God had already achieved great success in the world line. They were approaching the ending at an unimaginable speed in the conventional process.
It took so long for the outside world to storm, but for a few people, it only took a week after the Gods Festival.
"Assassination."
He slowly got up from the couch and looked around the two of them to explain.
For a long time, he had been reading various classics about the history of the Solomon Empire in the General's Mansion and discovered a rule.
Every emperor of the Solomon Empire, if it were not for the short-lived ghost who died at the age of ten or twenty, would become the most devout believer of the gods at a certain time.
Interestingly, the emperors never promoted the faith of gods to the people, and even prohibited the people from believing in gods.
What’s even more interesting is that historical books record that the old emperor who was killed by him was also a good emperor who worked hard and ambitious when he was young.
There are even other virtues such as loyalty, humility, kindness and mercy in history books.
"With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess that there is something behind the big change in temperament of the old emperor and Madelina, right?"
"Um."
Tilu nodded first. Madelina's transformation was too sudden and it was difficult to become like this for natural reasons.
Isumiya hugged his chest with his hands: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say it is very simple. There are usually only two situations in this case." Fu Xi stretched out his finger:
"One is that in the Solomon Empire, the emperor was not the owner of the highest power. There was another hidden force or person above the emperor. He could manipulate threats and manipulate the emperor and cause absolute impact, but he was hiding well on weekdays; there was another kind of person who could control the threat and manipulate the emperor.
Then there is a secret hidden in the royal family. Only after the emperor is in power for a period of time can he know it. The secret is huge enough to subvert the emperor's entire worldview, so his temperament will change drastically. Which one do you think it will be?"
"The first type." This is Aimiya Isumi.
"The second type." This is Tilu.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and thought that the other party was a fool, and they actually thought it was the first/second type.
After looking at each other, Yumiya Yicheng snorted lightly and turned to Fu Xi again:
"Hey! Which one do you think it is?"
Fu Xi smiled and opened his hands: "I didn't say it was a single choice question."
He believed that two possibilities exist at the same time, and behind the Solomon royal family, there must be a person and organization that can control and influence the emperor, and the existence of this person and organization itself is subversive.
Based on the current situation, it is very likely that it is the god himself.
Before Madelina's temperament changed drastically, she repeatedly hinted that Fu Xi took Tilu to escape from the Solomon Empire. It was obvious that she realized that the problem existed at that time.
With Fu Xi intervened, the princess Abigail, who may have died in the Gods Festival in history, survived.
Abigail was chosen by the gods, and even his biological father who loved her the most could not resist the pressure and was forced to make her a sacrifice for the gods' festival.
She is still alive at this time, and the gods will probably ask for this sacrifice from the real imperial leader and the Regent Princess.
That's why Madelina wanted Fu Xi to escape with "Abigail".
Of course, after Fu Xi pretended to be stupid and refused, sooner or later, Madelina would be defeated under the pressure of the gods and respond.
As recorded in Arthur Berfell's notes, an assassination against the rulers of the Empire will occur.
The candlelight swayed, and the shadows jumped on the faces of the three of them. The outside of the house was pitch black as if the stars in the sky were covered with dimness.
Isumiya gradually understood the internal logic of the development of the incident, and she asked in a low voice:
"When will they do it?"
"Maybe in a few minutes, maybe in a few hours." Fu Xi replied.
Now Solomon is in danger, and the empire will change hands before dawn.
Tonight is Madelina's last chance to do it.
"We can go out of the Kingdom of God by just blocking this assassination? Is this your judgment?"
Isumiya nodded: "The assassination recorded in Arthur Berfell's notes was not the same as those targeted at the old emperor at the Gods Festival, but the next person after the throne changed hands."
"It's already good that you can understand so much, there's no need to force yourself."
Fu Xi comforted him casually, and Yumiya Yicheng did not keep up with his rhythm from beginning to end.
His eyes turned to Tilu, who nodded to him.
At this time, Isumiya asked again: "What should we do now? Arrange defense lines and traps? Or just escape first?"
“No need to do it.”
The one who spoke was Tilu, and she looked complicated: "We just need to wait here."
"What's the meaning?"
Yumiya Yicheng was stunned.
No need to explain to her anymore, because at this moment, a fierce shout of killing came from outside the door, from far to near.
"You know our situation!"
Madeleine's shrill cry lingered in the ears of several people: "Either win! Or perish!"
"For the will of San Solomon!"
The soldiers responded to Madeleine's collision of armor, death and courage from the bottom of his eyes mixed together, and kept charging forward.
But the target of the charge was not the room where Fu Xi and the others were.
Fu Xi walked to the window, pushed open the closed window, and put the scene outside in.
Just like the scene during the Gods Festival, under Madeleine's robe was a silver close-fitting soft armor. She held the sword and directed the soldiers to besiege a man in black.
"I should have killed you and your deformed fellows whom you will betray the will of the Gods!"
The man in black gritted his teeth and angrily.
His body was penetrated again and again, and the wounds were recovered again and again.
Yumiya Yicheng looked at the scene blankly and asked, "Didn't Madelina come to kill the emperor?"
Neither Fu Xi nor Dilu answered her.
Aimiya Isu's inference was valid a few days ago.
Because at that time, they didn't know that there was a god behind the Solomon royal family.
Then the "imperial power" naturally refers to the imperial emperor.
Nowadays, the meaning of this "powerful person" has become more diverse.
It can refer to Abigail, the nominal empress, or to the god who controls the empire behind him.
Madelina is not the old emperor who was killed by Fu Xi in the madness. She loves her step-sister Abigail even more.
She could be able to bet on the sacrificial ceremony of the Gods many years ago and assassinate the old emperor who wanted to sacrifice Abigail. At this time, she could also be able to bet on the sacred gods and fight to the death.
Fu Xi and Dilu both knew this deeply.
"Is this the story you want to tell me?"
He murmured to himself in a voice that he could only hear.
"I am immortal! I am the messenger of the god!"
The man in black broke through the defense of the soldiers after layer of the defense, approaching Madelina with anger:
"I will give the most severe punishment! Let Solomon and Chaldes fall into the boundless darkness underground, and all the rebels will become lowly and dirty beasts, and the bad seeds left by you Chalde..."
The man in black crushed the skull of the last soldier and looked down at the eldest princess.
"I will use the cruelest way to make you sink forever!"
After he said this, Fu Xi took action.
The man in black had entered the category of the general's mansion, and Fu Xi used all the magic entropy of Yubius to pounce on him from behind.
...
The sword blade passed by, and time seemed to solidify.
The noisy shout came to an abrupt end, the man in black suddenly stiffened, and the mask on his face also fell down.
