Chapter 1069: The Purpose of Resurrecting the Princess
Moda's future experience received sympathy from the outside world. As for the girl's later joining the revolutionary army, it was a helpless act forced by reality.
My parents were killed by pirates. I can't just recognize the pirates as my father and become a pirate myself. The future Kingdom of Lulucia will not be a place where a person can survive.
The beautiful girl was left alone, and sooner or later she would be targeted by bad guys. It was only because Miranda was a little ugly that she was captured and made into a slave in the end.
"Once dead, there is no resurrection. From the moment life is born, this process is irreversible. Could it be that King Seqi was too deeply traumatized?" Sauron pointed his finger at his head, thinking that King Seqi was mentally ill and had gone crazy!
Since the underworld exists, coming back to life from the dead is against the will of heaven. King Sezi is just an ordinary king of a vassal state, how could he have such ability?
Moda's eyes fell into deep thought. She had once thought so too, that King Sezi just missed his deceased wife too much and occasionally did something out of line.
It was not until her investigation deepened that Moda learned the hidden story behind it. King Sezi's plan to resurrect the princess was very thorough, with almost every step going smoothly.
Moda is the Revolutionary Army's intelligence agent in the Kingdom of Lulucia. She has no combat capabilities and is responsible for collecting external intelligence as a formal citizen.
There was a good friend who worked in the palace. Before she disappeared, he told Moda the secrets he heard in the palace through a letter he left behind.
After the death of King Sezi's queen, the king, who usually had no shortage of women, began to lose his appetite and longed for his queen more and more.
As time went by, he began to have hallucinations, thinking that the princess was not dead, but outsiders could not see her and that she was always by King Sezi's side.
The doctor in the palace examined him and concluded that the king was suffering from longing for his wife, and the illness would disappear if he just let go of the illusion.
The princess's body was placed in an ice coffin, and a special maid performed embalming work on it every day to prevent the noble's body from rotting before burial.
King Seqi became more and more crazy. He did not think he was sick. Instead, he killed the doctors who treated him. He killed several doctors in succession, and no one dared to treat him anymore.
One day, a merman in a black robe broke into the palace at night and met with King Sezi. The content of the conversation was naturally unknown to outsiders. Since then, the king's temperament changed drastically.
He began to intensify the conscription of slaves in the country, increased taxes and sent out more taxpayers, squeezed the entire nation dry, and wished to squeeze every last penny out of the pockets of civilians.
A large number of slaves were used to dig underground, and excavation work was carried out almost every day and night. At first, the construction workers thought that King Sezi was digging a tomb for his princess.
The mausoleum is located under the royal palace. Although it sounds strange, it can be explained when you think about the deep love King Sezi had for his princess.
In order to speed up the excavation of the underground palace, King Sezi did not give the slaves any time to rest, and the surrounding work was completed within two months.
The price was the death or injury of nearly a thousand slaves. The Kingdom of Lulucia had a small population, and with so many people dead, the people naturally complained.
The ministers and generals in the palace expressed their opposition to King Sezi, asking him not to go too far and force the people to the opposing side, which would not benefit anyone.
Although King Sezi listened to the opinions that night, the ministers and generals who put forward the opinions disappeared the next day, and not even a single one of them could be found alive.
This kind of brutal suppression, without even a hint of pretense, suppressed the voices of opposition in the country. Anyone who dared to oppose King Sezi would not see the next day's sunrise.
"That huge pool of blood contains the blood of tens of thousands of people. You should have seen corpses on the ground when you came. The only purpose of building the blood pool is to resurrect the princess."
Moda's best friend is Princess Kemani's personal maid. She accidentally overheard the conversation between the king and his daughter. After hearing the secret, she knew that she didn't have much time left.
She then returned to her residence, wrote it in the form of a letter, and sent it to Moda before the guards came to arrest her.
The handwriting on the line was very sloppy, proving that the writer didn't have much time. She roughly explained one thing.
King Sezi received an evil item called Behelet from a cultist, and the king exchanged it for the soul of the princess through sacrifice.
However, the princess's body had already decayed, and her soul could not return to her original body to be resurrected, so King Sezi had to find a new body for the princess.
Using someone else's body and soul is not compatible, so King Sezi must reshape the body for the princess, and this process requires a lot of flesh and blood.
King Seqi did not expect that the flesh and blood of a few hundred people was not enough, and the flesh and blood of a thousand people was not enough. It would take the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people to form a human body.
Things had come to this point, and King Sezi decided to go his own way and capture all those who opposed him in the country and a group of slaves and sacrifice them to the princess.
The more flesh and blood the princess obtains, the clearer the voice in the blood pool becomes. She will continue to seduce King Seqi and provide the woman with more flesh and blood. Then the two of them will stay together forever and become a lifelong couple of gods.
"The princess should be under the blood pool. The blood of tens of thousands of people is provided to her. She can no longer be considered a human being."
Zoro's face was filled with anger. To resurrect just one person would cost the lives of tens of thousands of people. King Sezi was really extravagant.
He hadn't seen such a heinous person in a long time. King Sezi had killed more people than most pirates, and his number of kills might even exceed that of the Emperor of the Sea.
The Kingdom of Lulucia has fallen to its present state because of King Sezi alone. One man’s heart can take away the hearts of thousands of people. Such a king does not deserve to live!
The shadows in the dark slowly swayed, and the king's thin figure emerged from it. There was a complex expression on his face, with some joy and a hint of loneliness that was barely noticeable.
The applause echoed in the silent space, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the king applauded himself.
The Zoro turned their heads and looked at the King of Sezi who suddenly appeared, their eyes full of disgust and confusion.
Moda's eyes were filled with hatred for the king. If she still had the strength in her body, she would have rushed to the king and tore that hypocritical face to pieces.
"It's a pity that you know it too late." The king's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the deep abyss, with a hint of chillness.
He raised his head slightly, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "My princess will be resurrected in the blood pool soon, no one can stop me."
Following the king's gaze, I saw that the once calm blood pool not far away was now glowing with a strange light, and the thick blood was boiling.
Only then did Zoro notice that King Sezi was holding a woman in his arms. Judging from the gorgeousness of her clothes, she should be his beloved daughter, Princess Kemani.
The man suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Is King Sezi going to sacrifice his only daughter?
