Chapter 880
Will the king of a country really risk his will to kneel down eight times in a row? ? ?
Top, top, too top!
The useless king, the crazy gambler, the foolish king, the idiot, and the biggest drag on mankind!
People felt extremely uncomfortable thinking about it.
What kind of mess did the previous king leave for Blank?
"It's too difficult! If it were me sitting in the position of king, I would have been tempted to commit suicide." A young nobleman trembled.
The more you explore, the more desperate you find, and the more you find the mess left by the previous king...
Who can withstand this!
"Apart from Blank... aren't there any other stronger human species in this world?" Everyone was disappointed deep in their hearts that they didn't even notice.
Speaking of which——
Although the blank space is very strong, it is also very exciting, and I look forward to their future experiences.
But if you only have a blank space to show your talents,
It will more or less make people feel that even if the human species rises, it will all rely on blank space.
It's not that humans are strong, it's just blanks that are strong.
Other human species do not play any role in this.
Even if Stephen has shown good political abilities, he is only good...
It is still far from being astonishing to people, let alone as shocking as blank space.
In the same way——
So is Kurami,
Because he was fooled around in the past, even if he was talented, he would be ignored by people because of the cheating tools and magic of the elves.
And the grandfather who is so highly regarded by Stephanie——
In fact...
"Eight times in a row...eight times...a pig can't be stupid enough to suffer losses eight times in a row."
"What kind of person was the previous king...?" Inevitably, while people were disappointed with this king, they couldn't help but start thinking about it.
It's a stupid thing that no normal person would choose to do.
It just happened in reality——
This inevitably made people feel weird, and they fell into silence for a while.
Like...
Same as 'deliberate'.
Chapter 1,153 The so-called suppression first and then promotion——!
"deliberately"--
Those two words were just thought in my mind and not spoken out.
This kind of thing is baseless conjecture.
So even those who speculated chose to remain silent...
When Blank's group returned to the library.
"...Brother...are you okay...?"
"...Yeah, in comparison, Bai, I'm just a little disappointed."
Then when Kong couldn't help but criticize the late king,
Stephen was furious, and the two quarreled directly.
Stephen also refuted Sora's opinion that "grandfather's decision was correct" that Sora had said before.
However - "- he took half of the country as a bet and gave it away in a foolhardy manner. How do you ask me to defend him?"
Kong's stern voice made everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.
After the two continued to argue for a few words,
"Grandpa, it's true... the game is very weak..."
Stephen suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "But his mind is very clear, and he is not burdened with millions of human lives, so he can not take it seriously! He is different from Sora and you, he is a person with common sense judgment and a sound personality. People!”
"If wasting half of the territory without any plan is called having common sense and a sound personality, then I would rather be a personality abnormality."
"~~~~! That's enough!!" Stephen, whose shoulders were shaking but unable to refute, ran away with tears in his eyes.
If they had seen Kong bullying Stephen like this before, everyone would have started to feel angry.
Stephanie is a beautiful girl after all, and there are still many people who like her.
It’s okay to be playful, but if you say something serious, people will think it’s too much——
However, everyone who was still resisting the Foolish King really thought that there was something wrong with the late king's mind.
At this time, Stephen's grandfather gave people the image of an old soul who couldn't afford to lose——
Carrying the lives of tens of millions of humans, yet like a joke, he failed again and again without repentance, betting his hope of victory entirely on luck.
"Sure enough - even if Stephen cried, this time I think what Kong said was right. Stephen's grandfather was indeed wrong,
That Hun Dan didn't deserve to be respected like that.
She just admired her grandfather too much and glorified the late king too much. "Someone couldn't help but murmured.
In his heart, he was still complaining about the mess that the late king had left for Kong.
Even the princess was speechless——
Then I saw Blank eating the dessert Stephen had made before, with the complicated expression on his face and his tone that couldn't calm down——
"...so delicious..."
"...Damn it, it's delicious..."
It's sweet but not greasy, and the sweetness spreads in your mouth.
Sora had eaten Stephen's delicious handmade desserts a few days ago, but the taste was not as good as this one.
I'm afraid she was looking at the recipe.
Add your own creativity and have a battle in the kitchen. Sora couldn't help but imagine what she looked like.
But after hearing the hollow voice, the people who were originally silent,
I couldn’t help but think of the scene I saw in the kitchen before——
That scene brought smiles to their faces unintentionally.
People were stunned for a moment, and then the atmosphere suddenly felt heavy.
People who originally insisted on 'that's right' trembled in their hearts...
Thinking of the tears in the corners of Stephen's eyes and trembling shoulders at the end.
The image of that clumsy yet sincere princess comes to people’s minds again——
‘Should…should we give her more trust? ’
Scenes were recalled in the mind, but what people remembered at this time was Stephen's support and trust in Blank all the way.
It felt like a soft spot in my heart had been touched——
In fact, they didn't want to see the conflict between Blank and Stephen. They didn't expect Stephen to be so sad.
…
On the other side - people's perspective suddenly changes.
"Liar... didn't you say you wanted to prove your grandfather right...!" Stephen lay prone on the bed, tears soaking the pillow in his arms.
"Grandfather... you are not a foolish king!"
She holds the key that she always carries with her and never leaves her body, remembering the image of her grandfather.
Seeing Stephen like this, everyone suddenly felt guilty, as if they, who had been scolding each other's grandfather dissatisfiedly before, had become a bad person.
"If you want to blame, blame the king. That's not good at all. He still likes to do random things." Some people looked away and uneasily found reasons for their actions.
Human beings always only believe in the subjective facts they see with their own eyes, and believe in one-sided things.
They have never believed Stephen's words until now——
However……
As Stephen fell into memories, people suddenly saw a picture.
"Grandpa, what kind of key is this?"
"Oh, oh~! Stephanie, don't touch that thing."
"Why? Where is the key?"
"This is the key to Grandpa's collection of important things."
"Important things? Ah, Dad said that.
He said that grandpa was collecting [books that cannot be read by others]. "
"No, no, no, Stephanie! It's something else!"
Seeing this heartwarming scene, pfft... people couldn't help but laugh heartily.
They completely forgot that the king in the image in front of them was the Foolish King they resisted at the beginning.
At this time, what they saw in front of them was the tender interaction between grandfather and grandson.
"This, this is - the key to hope."
"Hope...? What is that?"
"Haha...one day, I will give this to Stephanie for safekeeping."
"Really!?"
“Yeah…but Stephanie, listen carefully.
One day, you have to hand it over to someone who you believe from the bottom of your heart can entrust the human species. "
The fragment of memories ends here...
But the suspense left at the end made people suddenly stunned.
The...key of hope? If you give it to someone who believes from the bottom of your heart that you can entrust the human race, wouldn't that be...
The two figures who are now kings of the human species immediately came to mind...
And the Foolish King in people’s eyes——
When I actually saw his image, it didn't look as 'crazy' as I imagined at all.
It should have been more like a mad king who lost his bet and became angry and jealous.
But……
I recalled the amiable old man I had just met, the grandfather who would panic when his granddaughter asked about ‘books that cannot be read to others’.
For a moment, everyone seemed to have thousands of words stuck in their throats: ‘…’
It doesn't look as stupid as the legend at all.
after all……
——
And on the other side,
Stephanie - Because she suddenly remembered the past more than ten years ago.
It has been two years since I received this key from my grandfather who realized that he was about to die.
She still doesn't know where the key is, but she never leaves her side.
