Chapter 295 Passionate Edwards

Five hours after Clayton Bello arrived in this country, he became king.

Donna was still in disbelief when she saw her uncle pick up the royal orb and scepter.

But Clayton knew in his heart that it was nothing.

The throne of this country is not noble at all. Mr. Edwards just glanced at the old king, and the old king took off the crown and became the former king. He only needs to look at Clayton again, and maybe the crown will be worn by someone else.

But the coronation ceremony was still grand.

The guards and servants took Clayton Bello into the king's bedroom to change clothes, and then someone was responsible for notifying all the residents of this country about the new king's accession to the throne. When everything was ready, Clayton, who was wearing the king's clothes, was pushed back to the auditorium, which was already crowded with people and nobles watching the ceremony.

Father Louis, who also changed into a white robe, was waiting for him here. It was the new archbishop who crowned Clayton. Louis was informed of the new king's accession to the throne, but his expression was slightly confused when he saw Clayton, not much better than Donna.

It was of course absurd that two newcomers suddenly became the archbishop and king of a country.

What's more, this was a coronation ceremony for a werewolf by a fallen priest.

But the new archbishop still assisted these weird locals to complete the coronation ceremony for their former companions, because he could have persuaded himself that this country was not a real kingdom, and the werewolf was not a real king.

But the fake ceremony seemed very successful, and everyone seemed to be happy for Clayton.

Donna's value also doubled, and she turned into a princess of this country. She was pulled into the dressing room by several strong maids to change into an inverted bowl-like skirt, and then arranged to stand at the outermost of the crowd to watch the ceremony.

In addition to those pretending princes and nobles, the new king also met other people.

After putting on the crown, he was pushed by the crowd to the high terrace of the castle and waved to the people of this country below. The sharp eyes of the werewolf made him discover that there were several bearded dwarves and midgets dressed as children scattering flowers in the crowd, which was simply ridiculous.

When the ceremony ended, the crowd dispersed like a tide, leaving a mess.

Clayton returned to the hall, and a man who looked like a court steward ordered the servants to pick up the garbage around. He leaned back in the chair tiredly, guessing that he looked as tired as the old king before.

He wore a pure black robe during the ceremony, with a flowered cloak with a white silk base on the outside, a gold pin pinned the collar together, and a ribbon on the leg to create a pleated edge effect, which was quite a bit of Tallinn style, and combined with the style of Terrells.

But the people who came to watch the ceremony were not of the same style. They all wore their own clothes, and their clothing styles seemed to come from different periods and countries. They were all strong and strong, and their personalities seemed to be similar. God knows how Wonderland brought this group of people together.

"Have all the citizens come here to watch the ceremony?" Clayton asked the palace steward, trying to make his words steady.

The short and fat man had turned the object of loyalty in the morning into the new king, and bowed his head to answer him: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Clayton exhaled and recalled the scene he had seen before.

The entire population of this country is probably only about 400 people, less than the residents of the town of Gevaux, but in Wonderland it is definitely a large number of people.

The most interesting thing is that he saw many races here. The people staying in this country are not all Dornishmen. This may be... He was startled and suddenly discovered something he had not realized before.

"Cleticia." He waved to his niece who was at a loss: "Did you hear what language those people used?"

Donna approached him, her eyes were still nervously looking around, her lips moved unconsciously, and Clayton heard an extremely dirty swear word coming out from between her lips and teeth. He was stunned for a moment and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Did you mention a castrated devil just now?" he asked as tactfully as possible.

Donna's mind immediately focused on Clayton, and she almost jumped up, as if she had seen a ghost.

"In this world, the barriers between people's hearts are very weak, so even if you use different languages, you can communicate without obstacles. The power of the devil will also become very strong."

Edwards walked out of the shadows on the side, holding Clara's head in his hands. She looked like she was asleep, with her eyes closed.

"Can you give her back to me?" Clayton stood up and asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty." Edwards handed the head with both hands: "She is very beautiful."

Clayton took Clara and immediately patted her a few times, until she opened her eyes and complained softly, he was relieved.

"Please rest assured, although there is a situation of mutual devouring among demons, I don't need to increase my power in this way. I know you want to talk about business, please follow me." Edwards stood respectfully. He was thin, and the wrinkles on his forehead and slightly dry gray hair made him look haggard, not like a terrible person.

But if he wasn't scary, why would the old king obey his orders?

Clayton and Donna followed him silently until they reached a gorgeous room with a large bed, where Clayton had just changed his clothes.

"This is your room, Your Majesty, we'll talk here." Edwards inadvertently let out a commanding tone.

An animal that seemed to be made up of the front half of a black cat and the back half of a black snake sprang out from his shadow and coiled around his body. Its green eyes had cold vertical pupils. Clayton could judge ordinary creatures through their sense of smell. The strength of this animal is not much worse than that of a leatherworker.

Clayton judged its species, so he was shocked and said: "Thief worm?"

This animal only breeds in high mountains. It is named "thief worm" because it often steals travelers' luggage. Adult individuals have the ability to emit poisonous gas.

Edwards nodded and gently stroked the head of the thief worm with his fingers: "It was rarely seen before, but now that there are things like trains in the outside world, it should be easier for you to find these magical species. , What a good time.”

When he praised, his tone was calm and there was almost no emotion.

Clayton couldn't be as calm as he was.

"Do you know what's going on in the outside world?!"

The dark wizard admitted this: "Of course, you are not the only outsiders. Some people will visit this world through dreams. You have to understand this, because it is also the king's responsibility to receive them and persuade them to serve us."

The king lowered his eyebrows: "I remember you said that your purpose is the same as ours."

"It's because we have the same purpose that we welcome these outsiders," Edwards said.

He looked at the two outsiders and told them a story.

A story about the founding of this country.

Many years ago, this place was still deserted, with only primeval forests and some uncivilized beasts and darkin communities living in it. It is also easy for people to enter and leave this world. Many ancient people with wizard talents discovered this place at the same time and also discovered the magical power contained in this land.

After the news spread, more eyes were fixed on Wonderland. Wizards tried to exploit it, kings tried to conquer it, clerics tried to explain it.

Most of the castles in this country were built during that time.

But later, people discovered that in this land, human minds are particularly susceptible to corruption, or desires will be amplified here, eventually turning people into evil creatures. Other creatures have no such problem.

As a result, Fairyland's reputation changed and it was regarded as unknown by most people. Since then, it has become a forbidden place, and the church strictly prohibits even exploring it.

But there are people who dare to touch the taboos in every era. Even if the church promulgates a ban, there are always new adventurers coming here, trying to trade with the dark tribe here, or trying to explore the power that makes people immortal.

And Edwards is one of them. The time when he entered Wonderland was about six hundred years ago!

"This country was not founded by me and the people in this country now. When I came, this country already existed. There were thousands of people in this country at that time. Either they were pursuing power like me, or they were In order to avoid death, the citizens of this country used various secret methods to open the door to the fairyland. Some people came here after asking for the help of powerful dark descendants who were regarded as gods at the time. They did not find the power to fight corruption, but only to fight against the dark descendants. They stick together because of the intrusion.”

"It wasn't until three hundred years later that the fading of the Dark Moon caused some changes in Fairyland. Astrologers discovered the hidden connection between Fairyland and the Dark Moon. At the same time, those who had the ability to open the door to Fairyland also They found that the price to pay for opening the door was increasing. They suspected that sooner or later, the fairyland would shut out humans. Astrologers even predicted an accurate closing date, and the evacuation began. "

"The news that Wonderland is gradually closing has spread, and many adventurers have chosen to leave. Only some dying old people and people who have just paid a lot of money to come in are not willing to leave so quickly. They want to stay here for a while longer until they die. nearly."

"But sadly, the date calculated by the astrologers is inconsistent with most people's understanding. That date is the last date that people in this world can enter the fairyland, not the last date to leave the fairyland. Several days before that day God, the residents of Wonderland have found themselves unable to open the door again, even the dark ones living on the other side of the forest are unable to do anything."

"The last group of people have been trapped in Wonderland ever since."

Edwards recounts this history without any hint of sadness or anger; he seems to be describing someone else's tragic past.

"The only good news is that I brought a familiar. Demons can tailor and devour people's desires and emotions. With the ability of demons, we have temporarily dealt with the corruption of desire that has always existed in fairyland, but this approach is not without its consequences. We can’t continue to do this if we’re a hindrance.”

He looked at the silent Clayton: "I think you also discovered our differences."

"We have fixed the identity for everyone and do not allow people to think and do things that are not consistent with their identity. That is because once we do so, people's desires will multiply again, and my demon can no longer devour them. If If it continues to grow, I will completely lose control of it."

"Even if my demon can continue to work, this approach will continue to cause damage to people's spirits. Many residents of this country have forgotten their identities in this world and completely regard themselves as aborigines in the fairyland. "

"Fortunately, some people from the outside world can enter here through dreams and tell us about the changes in the outside world, but they cannot leave with any entities."

"Your arrival is really good news."

Mr. Edwards turned his gaze to Donna, and there was a hint of fanaticism in his tone: "If a human being can enter this world, it means that the time to open the door has come again."

"We missed one opportunity and we won't miss it a second time."
