Chapter 466: The oath to never be a dictator
"Why do you look at me like this?"
Because Darren's gaze was so undisguised, Kobra noticed it immediately, frowned, and asked with confusion on his face.
"Your Majesty Kobra, do you know what "D" means?"
Darren pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked another question.
Cobra shook his head and said:
"I don't know...Although I have heard of the existence of "D" in some people's names more or less, I don't know much about the true meaning of "D"."
"Actually, this time I came to the Holy Land of Mariejoia. In addition to attending the inauguration ceremony of the leader of the Knights of God, I also wanted to verify something from the Five Old Stars."
Darren frowned and said:
"What do you want to prove from those five immortals?"
Cobra said slowly:
"Queen Lily left Alabasta after she founded the World Government. There was no news after that. I want to know where she went."
Darren suddenly asked:
"You think she's still alive?"
Kobra shook his head.
"No, the Five Old Stars may have acquired some ability to live a long life, but Queen Lily is unlikely."
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"If she was still alive, how could she not come back to Alabasta for so many years?"
"You know, that's her hometown."
Darren said calmly:
"Not everyone has special feelings for their hometown."
Cobra was stunned when he heard this and glanced at Darren.
"Don't you miss your hometown?"
A trace of trance flashed deep in Darren's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and he smiled:
"I feel like my life is pretty good now."
Sensing that Darren seemed not very interested in this topic, Kobra continued:
"In addition, I also want to ask Wulaoxing... what is the meaning of "D"."
"Wait...why are you looking at me with that strange look again?"
He suddenly said angrily.
This bastard kid really didn't take himself, the king of Alabasta, seriously at all!
"So, are you planning to tell the Five Old Stars about Queen Lily's real name?"
Darren ignored Kobra who was gritting his teeth and just asked himself.
Cobra gritted his teeth and said:
"What if?"
"If anyone in this sea knows where Queen Lily went after she left Alabasta, it would be the Five Old Stars."
Darren: "..."
He thought for a while and said:
"Then why don't you return this coin to me?"
When Kobra heard this, he hurriedly hid the coin with "NL" imprinted on it in his clothes, stared at Darren as if he were guarding against thieves, and said angrily:
"Are you going to regret it?"
"I have told you all the secrets I know!"
"Damn it! Where's the credit you promised?"
Darren said angrily:
"I mean, you're going to use this coin soon anyway, so I'll just take it back to save trouble."
Cobra was startled and said with a doubtful expression:
"What do you mean?"
Darren sighed and said:
"I mean, if you really ask Wulaoxing these questions, there is no way you can leave Pangu City alive."
"At that time, I will have to personally rescue you. This is equivalent to directly using the rights of this coin."
"——How is this possible!?"
Cobra blurted out subconsciously, his face full of disbelief.
"You mean...Wu Laoxing will take action against me?"
"This is impossible... I am the king of a country that joins the World Government, and I am a member of the Nephite clan!"
"How dare they do anything to me—"
His words stopped abruptly.
"unless……"
Cobra was stunned there, and seemed to gradually realize something in Darren's half-smiling eyes. His eyes kept dilating, but his pupils shrank into thin needles bit by bit.
"unless……"
"Yes."
Darren shook his head, and as Kobra's face gradually turned pale, he said slowly:
"There is a legend of "D" in this sea. The Celestial Dragons believe that... the "D clan" is a "god" - the natural enemy of the Celestial Dragons!"
"But...but...Queen Lily's name..."
Kobra's hands trembled slightly involuntarily.
"Yes, so now you can understand my doubts, right?"
Darren shrugged, spread his hands and said:
"If your ancestor, Queen Lily, was a member of the D clan and the natural enemy of the Celestial Dragons, she helped the other nineteen 'kings' destroy that legendary country and established the world government..."
"This means that she is a traitor to the D clan."
"Perhaps she had her own difficulties, or perhaps she had her own reasons. All this has become a thing of the past, but there is no doubt that she finally chose to bury the secret of her D clan in the dust of history. "
"But even so, this will not change the fact...that is, Your Majesty Cobra, you are still a member of the D clan."
"If that's the case, please use your imagination. If the Five Elders knew this secret, do you think they would let their Celestial Dragons' "natural enemies" leave Pangu City alive?"
As Darren's last words fell, Cobra was struck by lightning.
Seeing this, Darren couldn't help shaking his head again and said:
"So I advise you not to ask, even if you ask, it won't change anything."
"The Five Elders won't answer your question, and they are not qualified to answer your question."
"The only one who is truly qualified to answer your question is the guy sitting on the Void Throne."
Cobra was shocked.
"What did you say?"
He stared at Darren in shock and whispered:
"Someone is sitting on the Void Throne!?"
"How is this possible!"
"After the establishment of the World Government, the twenty kings decided together and swore that no one could sit on the Void Throne!"
"The Void Throne... represents the equality between kings of various countries. It is the oath of the twenty kings that they will never have the desire for dictatorship!"
"It is the center of the world and a symbol of peace that cannot be defiled by anyone!"
"It is because of this oath that the Five Elders came into being and were selected to become the nominal supreme power of the World Government, ruling and managing the entire world on behalf of the Celestial Dragons!"
Darren smiled sarcastically:
"This idea is too naive. It is impossible for anyone to resist the temptation of the supreme power."
"And the reality is that there is indeed such a person on the Void Throne."
"He has been sitting on that chair for a long time, overlooking the entire world."
