Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 213 Night Talk (5K plus 47 48)
Frost Crystal Royal City, Royal Palace.

Candlelight flickered in the dim bedroom. The king was half lying on the gorgeous bed, and beside his bed, a handsome middle-aged man with white hair stood quietly.

Grand Duke Silver Wing looked at the weak king, placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and tapped it gently.

After waiting for a while and still not being noticed, he took the initiative to speak.

"His Majesty."

"……Um?"

The sleeping king slowly woke up, opened his eyes and looked to the side.

His dim eyes focused for a moment, but he couldn't see the eyes of the person who came for a long time, so he subconsciously asked, "Is it Adrian?"

Looking at his haggard appearance, Grand Duke Silver Wing's expression did not change, but he suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

Before he saw it with his own eyes, he could never imagine that the once proud and powerful king would have fallen to such a state.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotional fluctuations, and said in a deep voice: "It is me, Your Majesty, I came here in response to your call."

After confirming the other party's identity, the king's expression suddenly changed, sweeping away his previous fatigue and instantly becoming full of energy.

"Adrian, haha! You're finally here."

He laughed loudly, propped himself up and sat up, then patted the bed beside him hard.

"Come on, come on, sit over here. I can't see clearly now."

Adrian was silent for a moment, nodded silently, obeyed the king's unreasonable arrangement, and sat on the bed.

"Your Majesty wants me to come here. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing important? It seems like we're not that unfamiliar with each other, right?"

After he sat down, Reinhardt put his arm around his shoulders and stuffed two bottles of wine hidden under the pillow into his hands.

"Come on, open it quickly."

"One bottle for you, one for me, let's have a good drink together, brothers!"

Grand Duke Silver Wing looked at the two extra bottles of wine in his hand, frowned even deeper, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are like this..."

"What's wrong with me? Can't I drink?"

Reinhardt waved his hand and said unreasonably: "Anyway, I have become what they call a tyrant and a tyrant. Even if I really die, I don't think anyone will feel sad for me."

Herbert left, but the backup plan he had arranged did not leave.

In his absence, progress continued steadily.

The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess has successfully become the only faith officially recognized by the Frost Crystal Kingdom and has begun working to exclude other churches of gods.

Perhaps stimulated by Herbert and feeling that he was in danger of falling out of favor, Bishop Leila was extremely enthusiastic about this matter.

She worked hard to make a career and wanted to prove her ability in front of the goddess again.

Sister Kaplan also played an important role in this process.

With Blake's help, they bought a large amount of food at a very cheap price, and distributed it to the people in the city at a half-sale and half-gift basis.

The knights she led with Knight Garn accumulated a lot of prestige in the slums, and also helped the Ice and Snow Goddess Church to easily win the hearts of the people in this part of the slums.

They also marched into civilian areas and replicated previous charity actions, providing free treatment and distributing food.

Although the effect is not as obvious as in the slums and there are not so many people in need of help in civilian areas, it still accumulates considerable prestige.

In this process, the lives of the nobles became difficult.

The personnel sent by the Goddess Church will not care about their identities at all, and will act bravely once there is solid evidence.

They were merciless when they took action, and did not care at all about the wealth that the nobles had once donated to the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess.

Those ice and snow priests who look cute and charming on weekdays will become a completely different appearance in battle, turning into ferocious warriors wearing heavy armor!
The number of nobles in the entire Frost Crystal City has been reduced by 50% during this "Ice and Snow Rebellion" purge, and is showing a trend of continuing to rise!

The nobles were in danger and had nowhere else to turn. They had no choice but to ask the royal family for help, but were ruthlessly rejected by the king.

Not only did the king reject all the nobles' requests, he also openly declared the legitimacy of the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess.

"You will bear the consequences of your own actions."

"Under the witness of the messenger from the Mist Monastery, the Frost Crystal Kingdom will never shield any sinner with filthy hands."

This may sound a bit heartless, but in fact, you can also hear some helplessness in it.

It’s not that I don’t want to save you, I just really am powerless and under pressure from the monastery. You’re all on your own!

Of course, that being said, how many people will actually believe it in the end? How many people will actually believe it?
It depends on the nobles' own judgment.

After hearing these words, most of the nobles came to the conclusion: I don’t believe you at all!

The bad old man is very bad!

They didn't believe Reinhardt's nonsense at all.

The nobles secretly began to call him "the tyrant who destroyed the country", "the tyrannical king", and "the last tyrant".

They attributed a series of malicious names to Reinhardt and secretly spread them among the civilians!
Those civilians who didn't know the truth and just wanted to have fun were more excited than each other after hearing these things.

They spread the story recklessly, and the plot became more and more outrageous and further away from the truth.

By now, Reinhardt had become a cruel and ruthless monarch who persecuted the brave nobles.

As for this infamy, Reinhardt actually doesn't care.

On the contrary, he was even happy to see it happen, and even secretly sent people to add some more.

Rumors like "Fighting dozens of maids at night!", "Can use a gun to hold up the city gate!", "The gun is bigger than a ground dragon!"...

However, he was very disappointed that the information was not widely disseminated.

When Reinhardt thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad and sighed deeply.

"Ugh!"

Seeing the king's sad look, Grand Duke Silver Wing became even more silent.

Grand Duke Silver Wing did not know these details. The version he heard was just that the king had become a tyrant who could be criticized by the nobles.

He felt regretful and... a little guilty about it.

"Your Majesty, please don't say such angry words. The country still needs you, and the subjects still need you to protect them."

After a long silence, he took the initiative to speak: "I'm sorry, this is all my fault."

Instead of blaming Herbert, he took all the blame on himself.

"It was my fault that all of that happened."

Yes.

All the mistakes are my fault.

It was because I did not teach my eldest son well, and it was also because I did not make a decision early on that he was forced to go to extremes.

It is precisely because of this that a series of subsequent disturbances occurred, forcing the country to its current point.

This was also the reason why he had been too embarrassed to see Reinhardt before. He felt that he had let down the country and everyone's trust.

Instead of successfully protecting the country, it pushed it into the abyss.

He considers himself guilty and the biggest sinner.

But what made him even more miserable was that... he didn't die.

No one came to punish him, no one came to take his life, no one used his head to settle the matter.

The Grand Duke of Silver Wing was like a sober person independent of the entire chaos, witnessing everything that happened with his own eyes.

We are powerless to stop it, nor do we have the qualifications or any position to stop it.

He hopes to be punished and cleanse himself of his sins.

But at the same time, he was not sure whether he was qualified for redemption.

This time, the purpose of Grand Duke Silver Wing's visit to Reinhardt was actually to hope that the king would punish him and judge his sins.

However, after Grand Duke Silver Wing finished telling all this and his demands, the king gave a response he had never expected.

"you?"

Reinhardt was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he stared at the face of the Grand Duke Silver Wing and looked carefully - he couldn't see clearly, so he squinted and moved closer.

After finally seeing the expression on his face, the king burst into laughter and clapped his thigh in joy.

“Hahaha! Cough cough cough! Hahaha—”

He laughed so hard that he started coughing, and finally stopped himself and said mockingly, "What on earth are you talking about, you guy?"

"How is this your fault? Do you think I came to you today to make you admit your mistake?"

He put his arm around Grand Duke Silver Wing's shoulders as intimately as before and asked jokingly:

"Who do you think I am? And who do you think you are? Are you qualified to bear the blame for all this?"

After asking the question, he said with a slightly sarcastic smile:
"You have not, my brother, you are not qualified enough."

"But I do!"

Reinhardt's voice was not loud at this moment, and it sounded weak and could not be ignored. However, this voice was like thunder exploding in the ears of Grand Duke Silver Wing.

他 说:

"I am the king. I am the one who bears the lives of all my people."

What is a king?
As a king, you must have the bearing of a king.

The king shoulders the fate of the entire kingdom and the expectations of his people.

He would not give this responsibility to anyone else.

Looking at his old friend who was silent and seemed unable to accept this statement, Reinhardt shook his head and continued:

"Besides, this isn't your fault in the first place. It's clearly my own fault. Don't take the blame on yourself. It'll make me look a little embarrassed."

"Ok?"

Grand Duke Silver Wing finally responded at this time. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the king in confusion: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Literally, of course."

The king curled his lips, motioned him to open the bottle, and said lightly: "Do you really think that all these mistakes were caused by just two idiots?"

The two idiots naturally refer to the eldest prince and Prince Silver Wing.

Everything seemed to be caused by their greed and madness, which led to the disaster.

Even Grand Duke Silver Wing thinks so.

But now, the king told him that the truth was not so?

"Do you really think Terrence and the others can easily get the poison to poison me?"

Reinhart snorted disdainfully and said sarcastically, "Even if they have money, do they have such channels?"

A slow-acting poison that goes unnoticed by a legendary warrior is not something that can be easily obtained.

Pharmacists who can make poisons of this level are generally not short of money and will not sell their works easily.

Grand Duke Silver Wing also reacted at this time, realizing that something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, "Who gave it to him?"

"Oh, just a defeated general."

Reinhardt's smile became even more disdainful after he thought of that enemy:

"You can't beat me in other areas, but you want to use such despicable means to deal with me. You are really too cowardly."

"He deserves to be a useless piece of trash that no one wants forever!"

Facing a love rival, especially one who was planning to plot against him using despicable means, Reinhardt showed no mercy and went on a rampage, scolding him for a full half hour.

After finally expressing his long-suppressed emotions, Reinhardt let go of his old friend's shoulders, lay back peacefully, and said with a smile: "Besides, is there really any harm in this matter?"

"In the past, the Frost Crystal Royal Family did value the interests of the nobles and hoped to gain their support, but they never ignored the common people."

"While I was unconscious, you also saw how far they went, right?"

Reinhardt could tolerate the darkness under the rules and allow the nobles to secretly make some money, but he could not accept such blatant behavior.

Their previous actions were not aimed at seeking profit at all, but at destroying this country!
What will people do when they can't even survive?

Ha ha……

After thinking about this, Reinhardt shook his head and said with emotion:

"If you ask me, I should actually thank Herbert. If it weren't for him, the kingdom would have really fallen into the hands of others this time, and it would have been completely destroyed in no time."

What does the great wizard Finn want a small kingdom for?
He would definitely not rule well, but would completely destroy the country to make Astrid give up the idea, which would be in his interest.

"As for the affairs of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, you don't have to worry about it."

Reinhardt said with some regret: "It is better to say that the kingdoms that have not been interfered by the Church of God are the minority."

"The kingdom had indeed not allowed the Church of God to enter before because it was worried that the royal rule would be interfered with."

"But now with the supervision of the Mist Monastery, the Ice and Snow Goddess Church dare not make any small moves."

"For the kingdom, since this step will happen sooner or later, the current situation is already very good."

Reinhardt was a bit of a slacker on this point, but he had figured it out.

This will be the outcome sooner or later anyway. Compared to being directly swallowed up by others, the current situation is more or less acceptable.

Since I can't resist, I can only enjoy it.

After expressing his feelings, he looked at his old friend who was still a little confused, and said jokingly:

"Haha, why are you so nervous? You're not even as good as your son right now! Hahaha—"

"That's right! If that kid doesn't want to accept the title of Grand Duke Silver Wing, then don't force him."

"I will confer a title on him and give him a territory later. Don't worry about this matter anymore."

After speaking so eloquently, Reinhardt looked tired and no longer had the mood to drink with his old friend.

"Sir Adrian, you look like this, and I'm not happy drinking with you."

He looked at Grand Duke Silver Wing, who was confused by receiving so much information at once, and waved his hand.

"Forget it, just go back today and come back to see me when you calm down."

The Grand Duke of Silver Wing moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth because of the chaotic information in his mind and nodded silently.

"Then... Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will leave first."

Just like that, the Grand Duke of Silver Wing, who had intended to atone his sins, left with a confused mind.

"..."

Shortly after Grand Duke Silver Wing left, Reinhardt's originally dull eyes became sharp for a moment.

The dying aura on his body dissipated, and although he was still weak, he was much stronger than before.

"It looks just as Herbert said."

"It's shameful for you to make the child you let down worry so much, Adrien... Well, I'm not that strong."

Thinking of the night conversation with Herbert, Reinhardt smiled bitterly.

"However, my current strength is much stronger than yours, haha."

Reinhardt slowly stood up, walked down from the bed, walked barefoot to the window, and pushed it open.

He looked out the window with his dim eyes, looking at the royal city with twinkling lights in the dark night.

Reinhardt closed his eyes, but everything he saw became clearer.

After experiencing life and death, he unexpectedly turned a disaster into a blessing and awakened a special legendary ability.

"The storm has no eyes."

He "saw" the wailing crowd in the noble district, and "saw" their eyes filled with hatred and fear as they looked towards the royal city.

He “saw” the people who were resting in the civilian area and “saw” them talking about those rumors.

Finally, the gaze continued to extend outward... and saw the slums.

There were two beings there, very eye-catching.

One of them was Bishop Leila. At this moment, she was excitedly ordering her subordinates to try to force one of the nearby churches to leave first.

And the other one, the ordinary-looking nun, was actually able to notice his "gaze"!
She bowed slightly to herself, then placed her hand on the angular book...

Reinhardt had been hit once by the book before, and didn't want to be hit a second time, so he honestly looked away.

At this moment, his vision was only focused on the entire royal city, and he could not see anything else.

Finally, he looked towards the Misty Mountains, feeling somewhat emotional, and whispered:
"Herbert, what are you doing now?"

"You haven't already started, have you?"

Reinhardt couldn't help laughing at the funny possibility.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm going crazy, how is this possible!"

"What idiot would choose to build a territory in the Misty Mountains?"

In the early morning light.

Freme half-closed her eyes, floating above the white pigeon stake, and looked down at the scorched earth beneath her feet.

"Since she brought destruction to this land."

She raised her hand, and the water ball gathered in her palm gradually grew larger, eventually floating high into the sky.

boo.

With a slight sound, the huge water ball exploded instantly, turning into raindrops that fell from the sky and sprinkled into the scorched earth.

"Then I will give life to this place!"
