T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 412, Section 411: I'm not being modest.
Kurion showed no decisiveness in handling political affairs when dealing with his sons, and in his conversations, he treated them only as children.

"My son is useless" is a very common expression, and it's hard to imagine that it would come from the mouth of the Lion King.

"You've returned; is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Heyi's original intention was to come back and see if he could trigger the plot, but after being asked this question, his brain started working at lightning speed.

Amateur writer Fries went online in time.

“Your Majesty, Renee is very concerned about the whereabouts of her teacher, Dussel, therefore…”

Kurien understood, recalling the shocking scene he had witnessed last night, and couldn't help but facepalm: "Ah, I understand, no problem. I'll have... Wick, you keep in touch with these kids regarding the Mage Tower's investigation."

Jiang Heyi was quite curious about what the final results of the mage tower's investigation would be.

Such an explosive storyline involving humans and beasts, if investigated further, will only pollute the young people in the mage tower and further broaden their "vision," right?

The maid replenished the tea and snacks, and at Kurien's signal, closed the doors and windows tightly, and the soundproofing array was activated again.

He moved to a soft chair, lay down wearily, and his gaze fell on the fries' waist.

"Is the knife any good?"

French Fries picked up Mad Wolf with both hands and handed it to the table.

"No, no, no, I have no intention of taking it back. Since it has been given away, it belongs to you." Kurien waved his hands repeatedly.

After a few seconds of pause, he said self-deprecatingly, "I just wanted to chat with you guys, but suddenly I don't know how to start... In the past, she would always be the one to bring up the topic for me at times like this."

"Your Majesty, you truly love her."

The fries' exclamation instantly brought a happy smile to Kurien's tired face.

“You’re still young, so you might not understand.” Kurien tilted his head slightly, as if recalling something. “Suitable is best, but who can predict when their true soulmate, the one they’ve lost in life, will appear?”

"Measured by the scale of a person's life, every minute, every second, every encounter, you may miss the person who is destined to be most compatible with you, without realizing it, until you reach my age, look back and sigh... If only I had been braver back then, if only I had chosen her."

"I have seen many people who are lost and regretful in their old age, but there are no 'what ifs' in life. The moment you make a choice, you must bear the consequences of that choice in the future."

Kurien smiled smugly: "She is the perfect love for me. I met her at the time when I should have met her, and I made all the right choices."

Jiang Heyi glanced furtively at the fries, only to find that the other person's gaze was already waiting for him halfway through.

She tugged at Zhong Zemo's sleeve from under the covers: "Hey, hey, hey, look at me! Where are you hiding your eyes?!"

Kurien smiled and silently enjoyed the little drama that had suddenly unfolded.

"That's great, everything is just beginning, you have a long, long time ahead of you."

Jiang Heyi thought to himself, if everything goes smoothly, it will indeed be a long time.

In this life and the next, we might just be inseparable.

Before she died, the wolf queen made three requests of Kurion.

First: Take good care of yourself. Don't go to see her too soon. You must maintain Anna's glory and avoid turmoil.

Second: Do not stubbornly choose their common child to inherit the throne out of favoritism. Anna's people have enjoyed decades of peace, and the chaos of succession disputes is common in history and must be avoided.

Third: Be more tolerant of all children. Not everyone can be as outstanding as him. We must allow for mediocrity.

Kurien listened attentively, but as they grew older, despite enjoying the guidance of the sages of the Empire and growing up in an atmosphere that promoted morality and character, these children became more and more like humanoids.

The second prince, Bertrand, was practically a born war maniac; whenever he saw a foreign race, he practically wore the word "disgust" on his face.

When asked how to properly handle diplomatic relations with foreign races, the entire document he submitted could be summarized in a single word.

"kill!"

If the alien race does not obey orders, it means we haven't killed enough.

As long as the blood flows like rivers and heads roll, the alien race will surely be convinced and surrender with courtesy.

Believing that violence could rule everything, he even had the bizarre idea of ​​classifying the serfs of frontier lords as war slaves, who could redeem themselves through military merit, thus maximizing the mobilization of the empire's vital combat resources.

At the same time, the warrior slaves were required to use the heads of other races as currency to exchange for resources issued by the empire, encouraging competition among them to select the strongest warrior slave legion.

At the height of the empire's power, continue to expand and conquer the entire continent!
I overheard a bit of a casual chat at the manor before, and the idea of ​​the boundary between the virtual and the real was already incredible, but now I've heard about something like this...

Does Khorne's Chosen allow NPCs to join your party?
There are suspected to be 40 time travelers here.

In Bertrand's view, the world's resources could most likely grow on their own from the shelves. He never thought about how much resources it would take to maintain such a large warband, let alone the burden a war to conquer the entire continent would place on the empire's finances.

In his view, people are the source of all problems, and as long as enough people are killed, the problems will be solved.

The fourth prince, Golan, Bertrand's younger brother.

He had many criticisms of his brother's views and actions, believing that his brother was bloodthirsty and simply unreasonable.

It wasn't that he had a high moral threshold, but rather that within a year, in an initial city-state near Fengjia in the southern border of the empire, he established a slave trading group with nearly a hundred members, selling nearly ten thousand slaves.

If it were the sale of slaves from other races, that would be fine; it would simply be taking food from the mouths of nobles. Kurien would turn a blind eye and secretly applaud it.

Kogolan turned the people of the Anna Empire into slaves and sold them to other races!

Anna's slave trade involved plundering people from other races, but in his hands, it was reversed; a prince of a nation helped a foreign race sell his own people.

The operation was so overpowered that when Wick led the inside guards to dig deep, he experienced confusion, hesitation, shock, and bewilderment. In the end, he could only laugh awkwardly in front of Curry during the report.

This was the first time the Imperial Guards had handled such a major case, and they looked at each other in bewilderment. The Fifth Prince, Enrique, was the one most deeply impressed by the boundary between reality and illusion.

This girl, who resembles a protagonist in a hentai game, collects beautiful women of different races every day. At a young age, she is completely drained by their beauty, and she enjoys it immensely.

The threshold was too high to be met, so they eventually set their sights on the siren, which in real history led to a great war between the sea creatures and the land creatures.

In the truest sense, the source of chaos.

Kurien had previously said he was under house arrest, but this man just appeared in the study.

If the Lion King hadn't been soft-hearted, he would most likely have acted recklessly because of his status.

The seventh prince, Caris, who came with him, had a slightly better problem than the other divine beings mentioned above; he was having an affair with his own sister.

"Yeah, just?"

The boundary between reality and illusion left everyone scratching their heads in confusion.

"Ugh!"

Kurien pounded the chair and sighed in frustration at their lack of ambition.

The Lion King truly treated them as close friends, and he didn't shy away from royal secrets at all.

The jailer stared in disbelief: "Aren't you going to break his legs?"

Kurien lay on the soft chair, his hand limply resting on his forehead.

"If I break his leg, his sister will protect him and even use a magic potion to save him. Should I break her leg too?"

As a teacher, Zhong Zemo swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "What did they talk about when they came together?"

“Household confinement is so boring, could you send some people to them?”

The boundary between reality and illusion was causing the Lion King a headache, and the room was filled with sighs.

Wick smiled wryly: "Before, it was just me keeping His Majesty company with my worried expression. Now that there are a few more people, it's not so bad."

Looking at it this way, although the eldest prince Thiago mingled with the nobles, completely sided with them, and even dared to win people's hearts when Kurion killed someone, compared to the behavior of the other princes, he was practically a normal person.

Kurien has 19 offspring, but these three are not the only ones whose extraordinary abilities are worth mentioning. They are simply the most outstanding, and it's impossible to avoid discussing them.

According to Kurien's account, the children seemed perfectly normal when the wolf queen was still alive, but after her death, the problems suddenly erupted.

"It sounds like the Demon-Sealing Tower has malfunctioned, and demons and monsters have been unleashed." Fries couldn't bear to listen anymore. "Doesn't Your Majesty have any children of decent character?"

Wick answered for Kurion: "Prince Thiago, Prince Sloan, Prince Raiser, Prince Kovich."

The Lion King nodded slightly, acknowledging the judgment of his lifelong friend.

Among a group of humanoid creatures, only these four resemble the lion king's children, rather than a few stray cats on the roadside.

Although Thiago was publicly rebuked, it still comes down to this: considering the behavior of his brothers, who all seemed like patients in a mental hospital, he really wasn't that extraordinary.

French fries poked Jiang Heyi in the waist.

"How do I feel..."

Jiang Heyi immediately replied, "Your feeling is correct."

The next phase of the story is about to unfold.

Establish an heir!

With Kurien getting old, the selection of the future emperor of Anna is of paramount importance.

Before the boundary between the real and the virtual emerged, the two must have discussed this topic countless times in private. It was precisely because they were unable to make up their minds that the nobles in the country were in such a radical and chaotic state.

With the future uncertain and people's hearts unsettled, a speculative mentality permeates this group of shrewd individuals.

Upon closer examination, it's not hard to understand how the plot has progressed to this point.

Even if the boundary between the virtual and real worlds can be successfully repaired in Anna's vicious cycle, and the world returns to normal and operates along its normal trajectory, it will still be unable to bypass the behemoth that is the Empire.

In order for all parties whose fates are intertwined with the empire to land safely, they too must make their own choices.

As Kurien said, what is suitable is the best.

Who is the most suitable to define the boundary between reality and illusion, and also the most suitable new king for Anna?

The people at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds aren't being modest; they're just a bunch of gamers. How could they possibly have the opportunity to participate in deciding the future trajectory and fate of an empire?
But Curryn and Wick seemed to think highly of them, and their willingness to talk about it at length was a form of tacit approval.

The moment Mad Wolf Knife was given away, it meant they had earned the right to participate.

"Although there's a nearly ten-year age gap, we're still young people. We should meet up and chat sometime. I'm very interested in your opinions."

Hesitantly, Orange Tea raised her hand.

Who is the wolf queen's child?

"Uh...it's not important, but I might as well tell you, Third Prince and Fifth Prince."

Wow, it's hard to imagine that the gentle and refined Prince Sloan's younger brother was actually a source of chaos...

Are they really born from the same mother?
