Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 108 Your Highness, let’s rush into the royal capital and seize that throne!

In the corridor outside the secret room.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

Xia Mingyu stroked the silky, soft blonde hair of the girl in his arms and spoke softly.

"Berg, how long did it take me to absorb the magic crystal?"

After Anlia's emotions calmed down a little, he removed his palm and asked the young man who was also breathing a sigh of relief.

"Master, you stayed in the secret room for a total of four days and three nights."

Berg said respectfully. He looked at the dark purple words above His Highness's head, and a hint of admiration appeared in his hawk-like eyes.

Unlike others, he knew that His Highness was just an unprofessional a few months ago, and then in such a short period of time, he broke through all the way to the Morning Star level like a hot knife through butter.

This is simply beyond description as genius. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a god descending to the earth!
"Four days and three nights."

Xia Mingyu looked at the dark sky outside the window, and he finally understood why so many people were waiting outside the secret room. It turned out that they were all worried that something might happen to him.

"Madam Rosa, Lord Knight Roy Roland, thank you for your concern." Xia Mingyu bowed slightly to them to express his gratitude.

"You are too polite, Your Highness. You are the most distinguished guest in the history of Red Fox Castle. If anything unexpected happens, I am afraid I can go directly to see my husband."

Rosa smiled bitterly. As an old woman, she had not been able to eat or sleep well in the past four days. She was afraid that something might happen to His Highness while absorbing the Thunder Demon Crystal in the secret room. If that happened, she would have to commit suicide on the spot to barely retain her dignity.

"Your Highness, you must take good care of your health. My late father would also want to see you safe and sound."

Roy rushed to Xia Mingyu, held his hands with both hands and said with great pain.

If something happens to His Highness, there will be no one to bless his future children. God knows how difficult it is for him to wait these days. It is not an exaggeration to say that he feels as painful as if his own father had died.

"Uh, next time for sure."

Xia Mingyu was a little uncomfortable with being held in the hand so enthusiastically by a middle-aged man who was a generation older than him, so he said a few perfunctory words and quickly broke free.

"Your Highness, your new profession should have abilities related to harvest, right?"

Looking at the line of dark purple text, Rosa narrowed her eyes.

Xia Mingyu nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

"Your Highness, would you allow me to require everyone here, including your servants and maids, to swear not to reveal your occupation?"

After getting confirmation, Rosa's expression instantly became serious, and she said solemnly.

"Mrs. Rosa, I will naturally listen to your request, but can you tell me the reason first?" Xia Mingyu asked.

Hearing this, the old woman looked around, her eyes lingering on everyone's face for a moment. After confirming that they were all trustworthy people, she slowly spoke:
"My father, who became Earl of Martha, once spent a huge amount of money trying to mass-produce the Harvester, an advanced profession for farmers, in order to alleviate the famine in the southern border."

"However, just when his plan had just begun to see the light of day, he suddenly fell seriously ill. A Crescent Knight who could fight a thousand men alone, in just a few days, became as thin as a withered tree, even needing a maid to help him breathe."

“It’s really ridiculous!”

When she said this, a cold hatred appeared on Rosa's wrinkled face, as if someone had killed her father.

"My father refused this shame and chose death to preserve his honor."

"And after his death, all those Harvesters who had been painstakingly trained died mysteriously one after another for inconceivable reasons. No one was spared. Even those who had escaped the southern border were later confirmed dead."

"Even the research data on how to mass-produce Harvesters with minimal resources was burned up in a sudden fire."

"Isn't this all too coincidental? I'm afraid someone couldn't stand it and deliberately took action." Rosa sneered.

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Who on earth would poison a count just to kill the Harvest?

It is obvious that the existence of the Harvester can increase land productivity and bring about a good harvest. Is there anyone in this world who does not want to see people have enough to eat?

Moreover, to achieve this step, a large team is undoubtedly needed, so the person behind the scenes must be a powerful person in Sosia.

Gradually, all the clues pointed to one person, a king who seemed to the world to have gone mad long ago.

At this moment, Roy frowned and punched the wall hard.

boom!
With a dull thud, the walls of the corridor collapsed instantly, brick and stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

His fist was deeply embedded in the wall, and cracks around it spread rapidly like a spider web, and the entire wall was shaking.

Veins bulged on his face, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes burned with uncontrollable rage.

"What are you doing? How dare you be so rude in front of His Highness, Roy!" Seeing this, Rosa immediately scolded him harshly.

Seeing a Crescent Knight suddenly go crazy, Berg immediately raised his hand vigilantly to block Xia Mingyu and An Liya.

Under everyone's gaze, Roy slowly knelt on one knee towards Xia Mingyu.

"Your Highness Mingyu, we are all family here, so I will just say it directly." Roy looked angry.

"The man who killed my grandfather was also the one who indirectly killed my father. He was none other than the damned Gluttony King, Lawn Sosia!"

"We, the Martha family, have already guessed the murderer, but so what? Sosia has dragons and the top knights. We can only tolerate it." Roy gritted his teeth, a trace of grief and anger flashed across his face. Obviously, he thought this was undoubtedly an insult.

"But the blood feud between two generations of the Martha family will never disappear, and the favor Martha owed to Sosia has been repaid in a hundred years of loyalty!"

"And now, Your Highness, you have arrived. Martha is indeed no match for Sosia, but with your 1.4 billion blessings, you will definitely achieve power that rivals or even surpasses the King of Gluttony in the future!"

"We have long known your integrity and kindness. You are the only hope in the South!"

"Our Martha family is willing to join your army, and the other lords of the southern border have long harbored resentment towards Sosia and are grateful to you for blessing their offspring."

"When you have accumulated enough strength one day, we in the southern region will form an alliance and take the crown of Sosia for you!"

Roy said passionately, God knows how long he had been memorizing this sentence in his study.

Here it comes again. Xia Mingyu's mouth twitched.

This scene gave him a sense of déjà vu.

He looked at Rosa for help, but saw that the blame for Roy in her eyes had turned into praise, as if she extremely agreed with Roy's long speech.

"You'd better get up first. It's too early to talk about this now. At least wait until I reach the Sun Wheel rank before considering how to directly overthrow the rule of the King of Gluttony."

Xia Mingyu had no choice but to help Roy up first.

"Your Highness, you are extremely talented. You will achieve the Sun Wheel in ten years at most."

Seeing him coming to help personally, Roy immediately smiled.

Afterwards, at Xia Mingyu's request, everyone did not swear an oath, but only promised on the basis of honor not to reveal his professional name.

at the same time.

Nightingale Tavern.

After a busy day, Damien, a worker, finally got off work tired.

"Thank you for your hard work, Damien. This is your salary for this month."

The bartender Fike came over, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a small bag full of copper sols.

In the entire Twilight City, this is definitely considered a high salary.

However, Fick soon noticed that after Damien took the purse, he did not smile as usual. Instead, he looked at the empty seat at a table with a look of loss.

"Boy, you are not going to fall in love with that lord from Red Fox Castle, are you?" Fei Ke asked suspiciously.

"How is that possible! I will never fall in love with a man no matter what."

The angry poet pinched the neck of the man next to him and shook him hard until the man was about to roll his eyes.

"I just feel I can't repay the kindness of Master Xinghuo. Maybe it was just a simple favor for him, but it almost saved my life."

"I wanted to repay him with the most beautiful song I could sing, but he didn't seem to like my singing and hasn't appeared since then."

The silver-haired poet looked sad, and a trace of sadness flashed across his handsome face that was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. He looked particularly beautiful in the dim light, with an irresistible attraction.

As a veteran in the world of love, Fei Ke was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he slapped himself hard and kept reminding himself that this was a guy with a penis before he came to his senses.

"Didn't that lord say it all? If you want to repay him with singing, just go to Red Fox Castle and find him." Feike said slowly.

"Compared to this, I think what you need to worry about more right now is how to get this month's wages from your drunkard father who deserves to be kicked to death by a donkey."

Hearing this, the silver-haired poet couldn't help but frown, and his slender fingers clenched his purse.

"Honestly, even though I've seen a lot of scumbags, your father is still a pure, high-level scumbag who has escaped vulgarity. I think you should take your sister and kick him out quickly. I can provide you with a place to live."

Feek suggested enthusiastically.

"No, I've checked the law. I can leave, but I can't take Alyssa with me." Damien shook his head.

"After all, he's still a noble in name only. If I take away the young Elisa, I'll be considered abducted and arrested by the city guards."

"Oh, a noble, he doesn't deserve it." When he said this, Feke's face was full of disdain.

"How about leaving Twilight City and hiding away?"

"Alas, Twilight City is the only peaceful place in all of Sosia. If you leave Twilight City, you'll probably only see me in a brothel or on the bed of a nobleman."

Damien smiled wryly, he had a clear understanding of his situation in this world.

He is a weak person, a weak person who has no power to resist but is full of desire to be ravaged.

"There will always be a day when he can come out of this. Maybe that bastard will drink himself to death one day." Fike comforted him sympathetically.

In order not to worry his only friend, the silver-haired poet could only force a smile.

"Ah."
