Under One Person: Damn it, I have all the magic to defy the heavens
Chapter 137 The Stolen Golden Bough
a month ago.
A mysterious island in the Pacific Ocean.
This is a mysterious island isolated from the world. You can't find it on any country's map. It seems to have been left behind by modern civilization and is hidden and isolated by all countries.
It is the legendary country of the sacred tree, Nasen Island, where all the people are aliens.
On this day, Alfonso and Elijah patrolled the royal city as usual.
The stone-built royal city was shrouded in the morning mist. The huge Roman columns and the tall dome were vaguely visible. The entire royal city looked majestic and magnificent.
However, if you look closely, the surface of the bricks and stones has the texture of sand and some are bumpy, which are signs of weathering. Time has mercilessly left its mark on the surface of this castle year after year.
The two originally thought that this was just another ordinary day in the tens of thousands of days and nights they had spent as Nasenwei. But when they inspected the sacred tree, they found that things had changed.
Someone broke the golden bough!
No, to be more precise, someone stole a piece of the trunk of the sacred tree.
This despicable thief left traces of felling on the sacred tree with a sharp weapon such as an axe. After checking, he should have stolen a section of the trunk that was more than one meter long and as thick as an arm.
"Who is it, who is it!?"
Alfonso was immediately outraged.
The child with shining golden hair had eyes that seemed to contain flames at this moment.
This is a sacred tree, their spiritual sustenance, and the sacred tree that is extremely noble in their hearts. Such a rough cut is simply blasphemy.
Even if he wanted to break off the golden branch to challenge the throne, he could just break off a small branch. How could he cut down a tree like that?
Faced with this unusual situation, Alfonso immediately informed the king.
soon.
The king and his Nasen guards all came to the sacred tree.
Looking at the damaged sacred tree, most of the Nasen guards were indignant and clamored to find the despicable cutter. Only Warnakin remained silent.
Hua Najin is the current king's half-teacher, and is almost the oldest and most knowledgeable person present. Her wrinkled face showed a thoughtful look, and her eyes turned as if she was guessing something.
The king saw this.
"Warnerkin, you seem to have something to say."
"King... This situation is different from the usual breaking of the golden branch and challenging the throne. I seem to have seen it in historical books."
"Oh?"
"In the classics related to the sacred tree, there is such a record."
"A long, long time ago, when the Kingdom of the Sacred Tree was still on the European continent, the people there launched an anti-witchcraft movement. They went around hunting down witches they thought were witches, then tied them to the gallows, beheaded them, or burned them."
"The Kingdom of the Sacred Tree was also implicated, and they believed it was an evil kingdom that worshipped evil spirits."
"At that time, the high priest sensed the crisis, and he ordered people to cut down branches of the sacred tree, soak them in potion, and then make small wooden signs."
"Under the blessing of the spell, these small wooden tablets carrying the will of the sacred tree were distributed and passed to the hands of suitable people, and then activated."
"Those who come into contact with the will of the sacred tree will be branded. These people must fully participate in the fight for the throne until the most capable and powerful king is finally chosen to protect the inheritance of the sacred tree."
"However, unlike those who break the golden branch on their own initiative, those who come into contact with the sacred tree in this way do not enter into a life-and-death contract. Therefore, as long as they do their best to participate in the fight for the throne and be recognized by the sacred tree, they do not have to die to withdraw."
There actually was such a succession ceremony. It was the first time that the other Nasen guards present had heard of it. They all raised their eyebrows and looked surprised.
Then they looked at the king, and worry was written all over everyone's face.
The current Queen Nathan is a young girl who does not have much fighting ability. Although they are loyal to the king and the sacred tree. As long as the new king is appointed, they must be loyal to the new king. But after so many years, regardless of the influence of the contract, most of them have feelings for the king.
Despite so many gazes, Wang's expression remained calm, as if she had already accepted her fate.
"Warnerkin, to what kind of people will these little wooden signs be sent?"
"Under the influence of the spell, these small wooden signs will automatically flow to powerful people, regardless of nationality, gender, age, or character. As long as one's ability reaches a certain level, the wooden signs can be activated."
After hearing this, the Nasen Guards became even more worried. Although they did not dare to question the choice of the sacred tree, they still recognized that the child born on the island would be the king. What if the person who won in the end was a tyrannical maniac or a despicable villain? What would they do then?
The king looked at the sacred tree silently, his light blue eyes were calm and clear, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a moment, she turned to the crowd and said:
"Elijah, help me contact the Alien Management Bureau of China."
"King, what do you want to do?"
"The golden bough has been distributed, and the fate has been determined. It is better to make this election ceremony public."
"Since we need to select someone who can bless the inheritance of the sacred tree, then we should increase the competition and select the strongest king."
"Let's make a batch of wooden signs according to the methods in ancient books."
"I will hold a press conference in China and invite the most capable aliens in the world to compete for the throne of Nathan."
......
In a dark room.
A group of people wearing cloaks and hoods were surrounding a huge blood-red magic circle, silently chanting spells.
In the center of the magic circle, a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a slightly balding head was kneeling on one knee, undergoing the "infection" ceremony.
This man is the murderer of the recent serial murders, Steve the Skinner.
A few days ago, the evil organization "The Directory", which is well-known in the European and American superhuman circles, approached him and wanted to recruit him as a member.
After demonstrating his special powers, Skinner Steve readily agreed, and now he is undergoing the initiation ceremony.
Soaked in blood, whispers linger.
Steve soon became a follower of Lord Jealousy in the Directory organization.
Steve's eyes became more and more crazy, and he stretched his muscles and felt his new strength. However, Envy, who presided over the ceremony, frowned.
Damn it, in his mind, that strange tree was still engraved there, with no sign of moving.
A few days ago, he accidentally touched a small wooden sign, and since then, this strange tree has appeared in his mind. He can feel that this tree contains some kind of contract, which he must fulfill if he cannot remove it.
He found this idiot and tried to transfer the tree to him, but failed.
"William, the initiation ceremony is over. Now you can take me to find prey." Steve said.
"Hmph, kneel down."
With a snap, Steve's knees fell heavily to the ground. The man in front of him was no longer the drinking buddy he had liked the day before, but was looking at him with a condescending, trash-like look.
At the same time, Steve also felt the deep control. As long as he had the slightest thought of resistance, crazy whispers would echo in his ears.
"You, what did you do to me." Steve said.
"From now on, you are my dependent, but a dependent like you is too rubbish and not worth training. Monto, throw him to my hound, and report back to me if he is not dead."
"You, you lied to me! You said that I, who yearn for 'evil', am the most suitable member for your list."
With the corners of his mouth raised, "Jealous" looked at Steve with a playful look in his eyes.
"I didn't lie to you. The level that can never be surpassed is precisely the ultimate evil, isn't it?"
......
After dealing with Steve, "Jealous" opened a bottle of wine and drank it with some irritability.
But soon, he received good news. It was Pride who called him and told him that he had found the strange tree.
"You said this is a sign of the participants in the fight for the throne of Nason Island?"
"I know that Wang went to China."
"Jealousy" stood up. He was now in a skyscraper. Through the glass window, he looked at the towering buildings and brilliant city lights outside.
As for China, he had never set foot on that land. It was like a charming virgin from a foreign land, waiting for him to develop.
And they seem to be very interested in being "proud".
