This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Naive but like an old friend

When Allen came to the Imperial Palace again, he felt like he was in another world.

Strictly speaking, I am still the traitor who betrayed Ryan. I didn't expect that I would still have the chance to come here.

The guards around him also looked at Allen with something wrong.

Anger, hatred, admiration and doubt, all kinds of complex emotions appeared on their faces.

Most people who believe in the Lord of the Dawn need to abide by the rule of honesty, so those young people who have not yet settled down may not be able to hide their expressions.

Allen sighed. He knew the doubts of these young people and wanted to sit down and chat with them slowly.

Tell them about the current ills of the empire, tell them how many people are distorting the teachings of the Lord of the Morning, and tell them that the future of the empire should be in the hands of young people like them.

But Allen couldn't do this because there were more important tasks today.

He came to see the Emperor, and he needed to go to the front lines and contribute to this disappointing empire.

The orc army pressed on the border and slaughtered tens of thousands of Lane people. No matter how many opinions Allen had about this country, he would put aside all dissatisfaction at this time and stand resolutely on the front line to resist the orc invasion.

Unfortunately, the emperor never agreed to his request.

Allen couldn't understand why there was anything to refuse.

It's not that Allen is arrogant. His personal combat effectiveness has improved rapidly in recent times. Now among Ryan's paladins, he is not only the strongest but also the top three.

Ryan currently lacks high-end combat power and cannot gain an advantage on the battlefield. Allen going to the front line should be the best decision. Why would the emperor disagree?

After coming here so many times, he was finally able to see His Majesty the Emperor.

Under the guidance of the guards, Allen came to the depths of the palace.

This should have been a lively and glorious place, but at this time it seemed very deserted.

There were not many people visible in the huge palace, and even the lights were very dim. It didn't look like a palace, but more like a huge tomb.

The young Emperor Ryan was seated high in the center. Allen should have lowered his head, knelt in front of the emperor and saluted respectfully.

Because it is not just the emperor who is respected, but the great achievements of Arthur Lane, and the empire that has lasted for thousands of years.

But now Allen just bowed calmly, and then looked directly at the young emperor.

"Alan, this is our second meeting. The last time was the funeral of your teacher, the Silver Moon Knight."

When the emperor mentioned this matter, Allen said without euphemism: "Your Majesty, I still think that forcibly moving the graves of other heroes is an insult to my teacher."

In order for the Silver Moon Knight to be buried in the center of the cemetery, the last hero lying there was forcibly dug out, causing the hero's descendants to commit suicide in shame and anger. In Allen's opinion, this matter is nothing like the emperor's own murder. the difference.

He originally thought that the emperor would be angry because of this, but Allen heard the emperor say in a serious tone: "Yes, I made the wrong decision last time. I have already ordered people to comfort the affected family and make compensation. Allen, I wish you could have told me directly."

Allen was a little surprised. In this short period of time, the emperor had changed a lot.

Although I had heard a lot about him before and knew that the emperor had changed, it was still too rare for an emperor to admit his mistakes face to face.

It is difficult for those in high positions to admit their mistakes, because majesty is a necessity for rule. They would rather not correct their mistakes and let others pay the price, so as to maintain others' fear of them.

Even the emperor of the Lion Empire has remained the same for so many years, and everyone seems to be used to and accepted this kind of behavior that is not in line with the doctrine. But now, the emperor admitted his mistake, which made Allen feel happy.

Could it be said that the emperor really realized his lost ways and was willing to make changes for the empire?

Allen quickly stated his goal today: "Your Majesty, I am here for the same reason this time. I want to apply to go to the front line to fight against the invasion of the orcs and protect the empire."

The emperor did not respond to Allen's application, but asked again, "Alan, you left the empire on the battlefield of the Orc Mountains. Why do you want to rejoin the front line now?"

"Is this why His Majesty did not allow me to go to the front line again?" Allen explained helplessly: "It was us, Lane, who was invading the Orc Empire. Such a war was unjust, so I chose to leave. But now, the Orcs They are invading our country, and it is my responsibility to protect Ryan."

After Allen explained, the emperor laughed and said: "Alan, I thought that after traveling on the continent for so long and getting to know the cunning lich, you wouldn't make such childish remarks. But I didn't expect that you still let me down. Is it so easy to distinguish between justice and injustice in our war with the orcs?

"One thousand seven hundred years ago, our great Holy King Arthur Lane had just held the funeral, and the Orc Kingdom demanded that the empire's artifact, the Dragon Arms, be divided among them. They even ignored the Holy King's coffin before it was buried, and they were right before the funeral. The scene broke up unhappily. The orcs may have forgotten that their kingdom was founded with the help of Ryan. Since then, the orcs and Ryan have been in constant conflict, and the blood feud between the two has been unable to be settled clearly.

"If revenge is just, then how dare you say that our war against the orcs is an unjust war?"

Allen looked at the emperor's expression, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you are right, the blood feud between us and the orcs can no longer be calculated clearly, but as you said, our hatred for each other has become entangled and has been It's impossible to calculate who made more mistakes. If we can put down this unjust war from now on, will Ryan and the orcs continue to hate each other for another thousand years?”

The emperor looked at Allen with a shocked expression on his face, and couldn't help but said: "伱...don't you think you are naive? Do you think such a thing is possible?"

There is no way that war can be avoided. Even if it takes another thousand years, the two sides will only continue to fight, and then the hatred will become deeper and deeper until one of them is eliminated.

However, Allen said firmly: "The chance is very slim. I know that war is not only due to hatred, but also interests. But when our two countries need to compete for living space and supplies, war is inevitable. But it is not We can't give up just because we can't do it. Your Majesty, we know that peace is a just act. Even if this kind of thing cannot be achieved, it is worth sacrificing for it. Isn't this what the Lord of the Dawn taught us? "

It's been so long, and Allen has already figured everything out.

He knew very well that everything he did was so naive and almost impossible to succeed, but this did not affect his choice. Believe in the good and never give up hope. This is the teaching of the Lord of the Dawn.

The Holy King taught Allen that a person's life or death is not important, nor is a person's success or failure. What matters is the path he follows. His ideals and beliefs will eventually be passed down, attracting more people with lofty ideals to embark on this path.

One person's power is not enough, but as long as this belief can be passed on, there will always be people like him to change the world. This ideal seems naive now, but who can say that it will not succeed in a thousand or ten thousand years?

The emperor looked at the unwavering Allen, and seemed to see the same high-spirited and determined paladin back then. At that time, no one thought that Arthur Lane could win. They only joined the paladin because they were desperate. They just hoped that their deaths would have some meaning.

At the beginning, they thought that the best result was to kill a few dragons, vent their anger, and then die under the breath of other giant dragons. They died without pain. If the dragon clan suffered a little loss, it was already a victory.

At first, even the Dragon Clan thought so.

They are just an inferior race, what can they do? belief? justice? How could such boring and childish things influence the outcome of a war? It was this kind of person who finally killed the arrogant dragon, split the blood mist and chaos with his long sword, and opened up a new era.

Those long-lasting memories made Emperor Ryan feel a little murderous.

If left alone, this Alan Watson seems to have the possibility of becoming the next Arthur Lane.

But now is not the time to kill, and the emperor is not confident that he can kill Allen. This kid's legendary favor is too slippery, and no one can catch up to him if he runs away.

Although the Time Dragon is powerful, he only has one chance. As long as he makes the slightest mistake, Allen will discover his secret. More importantly, Allen is still useful now.

The emperor thought for a moment and said to Allen: "Alan, I admire your belief, but because of this, I will not let you go to the front line. Now the orcs are invading Ryan, and their methods are extremely cruel, and you are Ideas will definitely conflict with the soldiers on the front line.”

"Your Majesty, I will not..."

Allen was about to explain, but the emperor directly interrupted: "Needless to say, no matter how you explain it, I will never believe that you can swing your sword at the orcs without hesitation. Even one hesitation will cause harm to Ryan." . But I'm not going to completely dismiss your idea, so you can play for Ryan in another way.”

Allen asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, what does this other way mean?"

"The front line is in crisis, not because your brother is not capable, but because the orcs have war weapons that are ahead of us. And only your old friend can make such weapons. But the lich asked to meet with me before he was willing to fight with Ryan. Deal, to be honest, I'm worried that the Lich has some conspiracy. After all, the Holy Light and the Undead are incompatible.

"So, I give this task to you. Allen, if you really want to help, go to the lich and get the right to purchase all weapons from him, and help us reverse our disadvantage."
