The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Leon looked troubled, but ultimately gritted his teeth and made a gesture that he would listen carefully.

"Haven't you always wanted to be the emperor of Fchester? With the current strength of Guberlan's army, if Naden wanted to rebel, he could probably really invade. But I hope you can use your intelligence to defeat Naden. From the beginning, I felt that you were more suitable for the position of emperor, while I myself never thought about being an emperor. So I will help you seize the throne."

Leon said, “In my study, there is a letter I wrote to my grandfather, King Ariel. You can use it to request reinforcements from the Duchy of Ariel. He will definitely help you. Regardless of whether Naden rebels or not, you must keep him under control.”

"elder brother……"

Leon hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"After you become emperor, I hope you will stop the war, restore peace, and help the orcs rebuild their nation. The empire has been at war for many years, and the country is already depleted. During the days when I was acting as Caesar's ruler, I felt helpless. Whether it is the people of the West Sea, the orcs of the Southern Mountains, elves, vampires, or the general populace of the empire, they all yearn for peace. If the war continues, there is a high probability that an internal divine war will break out."

Leon analyzed, "In today's world, it is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the conditions for the birth of new life. The world cannot be stable without the gods. As an emperor, you must learn to govern the gods as well as the people!"

"These so-called gods are nothing more than humans, vampires, orcs, elves, or other creatures who have ascended to the mythological level. They can be killed and are far from being so high and mighty."

"What does God fear most? The consequences of karma and the loss of faith. As the King, you can firmly control their weaknesses. I think you learned these things from Avery when you were studying with him, so I won't go into the details."

"Yes, I understand. I will keep the gods calm, appease the people, and maintain peace."

Leon nodded and said, "After all, deep down, I'm also tired of fighting and killing."

"it is good."

Leon nodded. "What I'm about to say is my personal matter."

"Please tell me, is it about Helena?"

"Leon said."

Leon answered.

"Yes, I feel most indebted and sorry to her. She is also the person I love most in this world... I hope you can help me make it up to her and try your best to meet all her requests."

At this point, Leon felt immense grief and began to cough violently, soon his mouth and clothes were covered in blood.

"Okay, I agree."

Leon nodded, his gaze fixed on Leon, a look of sadness now on his face.

"Then there are the vampires. The vampire queen has fallen, and I hope you can protect Philippa and help her clear the obstacles."

Leon continued.

"Brother, do you have feelings for that vampire?"

"Leon asked."

"Yes, she's a very good girl. I'm the one who let her down. I'll help her if I can."

Leon sighed.

"I have one last thing to say."

Leon said seriously, "This concerns the future stability of the world."

"What's the matter?"

Leon's expression also turned serious.

"It's Erik, the dragon princess. She's a poor dragon."

"Leon said."

"I need you to protect her. After you have consolidated your power, if she wants, you should help her send troops to the Dragon Clan to resolve the internal strife. If she doesn't want to, I hope you won't make things difficult for her. Give her her freedom. It is the fate of the Dragon Clan, so let her decide for herself."

"Okay, but I don't know where she is right now. She's missing."

Leon answered.

"She...is right here."

Leon smiled and replied.

"right here?"

Leon was taken aback at first, but immediately understood.

"You hid her inside the sealed artifact?"

"Yes."

Leon nodded.

He began his search.

Before long, he found the legendary sealed artifact that the vampire queen had personally crafted.

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and bring her out now."

Leon gripped the seal and began to activate it.

He felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and severe dizziness, and tried several times but failed to enter the sealed object.

But he did not give up, even as blood began to flow from his nostrils and ear canals.

In the end, Leon successfully connected with the sealed object through his spirituality, his figure quickly became transparent, and he soon disappeared from the spot.

On the ground, only the sealed artifact remained.

Within the sealed object.

The bright moon hangs high.

In an endless sea of ​​roses, a small wooden house stands all alone.

In the rose bushes behind the cabin, there is a wooden hanging basket.

Eric lay in the hanging basket, gazing melancholically at the bright moon in the night sky.

A gentle breeze rustled the flowers, causing them to sway in waves, and the hanging basket also swayed in the breeze. Eric's long, slender, fair legs swayed listlessly along with the basket.

silence,

It was so quiet all around.

For thousands of years, trapped in the world of books, at least there were various NPCs to talk to, and occasionally a few real players would come from outside and join the party. But here, everything is real; only Erik is a truly living being.

Eric originally thought he had gotten used to loneliness and that he could live peacefully on his own, even in the face of deathly silence.

However, she found that she was wrong.

She overestimated herself. She has never been used to being alone; what she fears most is loneliness.

She had no idea what the situation was like outside.

What would happen if the Dragon Emperor won?

If the human emperor really killed the dragon emperor and successfully became a god, what should she do now that she's hiding in someone else's treasure vault?

These things are really frustrating.

Eric also really hates getting involved in these kinds of things.

From childhood, what Erico truly longed for most was to be a simple dragon, an ordinary girl who only needed to eat breakfast, think about what to eat for lunch, and then ponder where to eat for dinner. She would try to fall in love with a dragon, a person, or an elf, and he would understand and love her in return. They would accompany each other forever, no longer lonely, until the end of their lives.

But this can only ever be imagination. Real life is always vastly different from the life we ​​imagine.

Her identity and the powerful causal force stored within her destined her to never achieve the life she dreamed of. This forced her to suppress her inner loneliness, hide and be wary, and use arrogance and coldness to mask her inner vulnerability.

Leon, that guy, he said he would definitely come to pick me up.

For some reason, Erico felt that Leon always gave her a gentle and reassuring feeling.

So she chose to trust Leon and stay there, waiting for him to come back and take her out.

She initially firmly believed that Leon would definitely come back and take her out.

However, when you're alone, it's easy to overthink.

The Dragon Emperor is so powerful.

That emperor was also a hidden angel of honor, and had been meticulously planning this for many years.

Can Leon really solve these problems?

No matter how you look at it, Leon is the one in the weakest position.

What if Leon dies outside?

So, should I keep waiting for him here?

Eric really hated this feeling; it always made her feel inexplicably sad.

She didn't know what she had to be sad about.

Is it because of Leon's death that you are sad?

What a joke!

I've only known Leon for a short time, so what does it matter to me whether he lives or dies?

Is she afraid that Leon won't come to take her out, and that she'll be trapped here forever?

It's impossible.

Although this space is strange, if he can find a weakness and attack it with all his might, Eric believes that he can get out without Leon.

So what's the reason?

My emotions are really inexplicable.

and also,

Who does Leon think he is! Why does all my sadness seem to be related to this human?!

Eric felt extremely agitated. She changed her position and continued lying in the hanging basket, staring at the sea of ​​roses, trying to clear her mind.

But she still failed, and she would still unconsciously overthink things.

So much so that she didn't even realize someone had quietly walked up to her.

"What's wrong? You look so gloomy, like a wronged kitten."

Leon laughed.

"Leon!"

Eric, who was curled up in the hanging basket in a daze, was startled and quickly sat up straight.

“You’re safe now. The Dragon Emperor and my father… no, actually my grandfather, they’re both dead. I’ve come to take you out.”

Leon smiled gently, but with blood streaming from all seven orifices, his smile was still somewhat frightening, despite his gentle demeanor.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ways to Survive

"What's wrong with you?"

Eric carefully examined the person in front of him. It was indeed Leon, but his aura was extremely weak, like a kerosene lamp that was about to burn out.

"I revived another divine aspect of the Divine Punishment within my body. Although it did not intend to kill me, forcibly bearing its will has caused irreversible damage to my body."

Leon smiled and said calmly, "I never imagined that after hiding for so long, I would die like this."

"recovery?"

Eric thought he might have guessed what had happened.

"So, you killed your human emperor and the Dragon Emperor?"

"Yes, it's alright to tell you. The three divine artifacts that have been passed down among humankind are actually the three eyeballs of that being."

"Leon replied."

"A divine artifact? I also have a divine artifact."

"Don't worry, your artifact was generated from the power in that book, it's different from ours."

"What's the situation outside now?"

"It's quite chaotic, but nothing to worry about. I've made all the arrangements. My brother Leon will become the new king of the human empire. The empire will keep your identity a secret and provide you with protection. If you want to return to the dragon race and find your people, the empire will also help you."

"My people... do I still have any people to find? My father and mother are dead. When they chose me as the vessel of destiny, my father agreed. To them, I have been a tool since birth. Do you think I really have any need to return to the dragon society?"

Eric looked sad.

"Then you can choose to stay in the Empire and live in human society. You can stay with Helena in the world of the book. You spent some time with Helena, and she has definitely become a good friend you can confide in."
