Chapter 22 The invisible eye

at the same time.

The most central location of the palace, in the king's palace.

Palace, bedroom.

In the huge bedroom with an area of ​​nearly 60 square meters, many candles and oil lamps were lit, shining brightly. The light didn't bring much vitality, even in this hot summer night, the whole room was still noticeably gloomy and cold.

A gorgeous wooden bed was placed in the middle of the bedroom, as lonely as a canoe drifting in the ocean. On the bed lay a wrinkled old man, the king of the Blue Lion Kingdom - Donald Austin.

At this time, Donald's face was pale, and the exposed skin was strangely black, and some places were still rotting. Even after being smeared with the ointment, it still exuded a faint stench.

A thin quilt was covering his body, his chest was heaving, his mouth and nose were breathing hard, and the vitality of the sleeping King Donas seemed to be weaker than the candlelight flickering next to him.

Sudden!

"Cough-cough!"

The sleeping king Downas woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, and felt a sense of suffocation. A mouthful of viscous phlegm sealed his throat, making him want to cough but couldn't, his face flushed red. Under the loose skin, the blood vessels bulged, and he sat up with difficulty, trying to attract the attention of others to help him.

However, the two guards standing at the door of the bedroom seemed to be deaf, allowing His Majesty the King to hammer the bed surface, making a "bang bang" sound, and their bodies stood motionless. Under the flickering candlelight outside, the shadows of the two cast on the floor inside the bedroom door, slightly twisted, like souls struggling after being lured by a demon.

"Boom, cough!"

King Downas continued to hammer on the bed surface, his fists clenched, his joints were a little white, his temples were bulging, and his eyes were wide open. His mouth was open, but he couldn't breathe any air, like a fish swept to the shore by the wind and waves.

As a result, at this moment, King Downas suddenly felt a heavy blow on his back, as if he had been beaten, his whole body shook suddenly, his throat loosened, and the blocked phlegm was coughed out and fell to the ground.

"Puff puff..."

Downers began to gasp heavily, his chest heaving violently, making the sound of a broken bellows being pulled.

At this time, the two guards outside the bedroom door finally heard the sound and stepped forward to come in. But a figure was faster than them, the palace steward - Delong. The other party has been staying outside the bedroom, because he is too old, he didn't hold back and dozed off. After being awakened by the sound in the bedroom, I quickly ran in to see the movement.

Seeing that Donald was sitting up, gasping for breath with his body tilted, there was still sticky saliva in his mouth dripping on the quilt bit by bit, butler Delong immediately understood the reason.

He walked up and patted the Donald on the back lightly, causing him to cough again, coughing out the phlegm that remained in his throat. Helping the other party wipe his mouth with a handkerchief, he asked carefully, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Fortunately... huh... still can't die." Donas said while panting.

"Then...you continue to rest?"

"Forget it, this time I wake up, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep again this night." Donald waved his hand, his pale face suffering from a strange disease was particularly obvious at this moment, and said, "Why don't you talk to me? What's going on recently, how are my two sons, William and Richard, haven't they caused any trouble?"

"No." Butler Delong shook his head and said, "Both princes are very good. Prince William took the initiative to reduce the cost of the palace, saying that he was looking for a doctor for your majesty. Yesterday morning, the prince still saw I have been to you, but at that time, Your Majesty finally fell asleep and did not dare to wake His Majesty, so His Highness the First Prince went back. He also reminded me not to tell Your Majesty, so as not to disappoint Your Majesty.”

"Uh, William is not bad." Downers nodded, then asked, "What about Richard?"

"The second prince, His Royal Highness Richard..." Butler Delong hesitated for a moment.

He said, "His Royal Highness Li Cha is also very concerned about His Majesty, but he has been busy recently, so..."

"So, since you came here last time, you don't care about me again, right?" Donald said, closing his eyes slowly, as if to calm down.

"Your Majesty..." Butler Delong said slowly, "Perhaps His Royal Highness Richard is still angry with you. After all, you really blamed him for what happened a few years ago..."

Donnas opened his eyes, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I was really impulsive about that matter, but if he didn't do those miscellaneous things related to wizards, how could I have misunderstood? Since that matter has been If it happened, what can I do? Could it be that the king of my kingdom is going to apologize to him and ask him to forgive him? Besides, even if I apologize to him, I doubt whether he can accept it!" In the end, Downas His face turned a little sullen.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Butler Delong said quickly, "Of course Your Majesty can't apologize to His Royal Highness Richard, but it's okay to punish those who contributed to the fire. Yes, and then..."

"Don't mention it." Downers waved his hand, "William has explained it to me in detail before, and it's not the attendant's problem at all. I already made mistakes a few years ago, don't they? To make up for one mistake, do you have to make another mistake?

Richard... If he is wronged, he will suffer, I am his father! No, for the sake of fairness, I have to chill William's heart again. You should be clear, I am very optimistic about William, and whether it is the bearing or the way of doing things, it is far better than the young me. I believe that when the Blue Lion Kingdom is handed over to him, it will definitely be stronger, and as the next king, there must be no blemishes on him.

As for Richard, he was wronged, and when that time comes, let William make up for him. Give him the best territory, exempt him from taxes, and let him live his life freely. After all, Li Cha, the child, had no interest in rights from the very beginning. Instead, he studied all kinds of weird things, which also met his wishes and was the best choice. Given such a result, should his anger disappear? "

"Uh, yes." Butler Delong didn't dare to refute, but said with flickering eyes, "It's just Your Majesty, is it a little early for you to say this now?"

"Heh." Donners laughed, seeing through Butler Delong's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I know the condition of my body, although I suffer from this strange disease, my body is not as good as it is day by day, but I can't die temporarily. By the way, when the leaves of the birch forest outside the city turn yellow in autumn, I still want to go see it."

"Uh, that's good, that's good." Butler Delong said repeatedly, not knowing what to think, his expression was a bit complicated.

Donners was in a good mood, but he didn't notice what was wrong with Butler Delong, and continued to talk.

Amidst the conversation, a candle lit in the corner of the bedroom burned. The candle wick burned longer and longer, making a crackling sound, and the candle flame gradually became unstable. Suddenly, an invisible force appeared, the candle wick was cut off, and the candle flame became stable again.

Neither Donald nor Deron in the bedroom noticed this, nor did they notice that a pair of invisible eyes were slowly leaving the palace and ascending into the sky.

...

Late at night, dark night. The night sky, the stars are bright.

An invisible transparent ribbon floated in the air, one end was attached to Richard sitting cross-legged in the bedroom in the northwest palace of the palace, and the other end was attached to the conscious body of Richard flying in the air.

The energy projected by the stars spreads out in the form of light spots of various colors.

Richard stretched out his conscious body and began to absorb and absorb this huge energy. Although the absorbed energy could not be stored at all before "opening up the source of the law", it could help him become familiar with this step and exercise the strength of his mental strength.
