[Slow Wear] Assassin System

The past is gone

When Parthia was just a small fishing village by the ocean, there were countless countries, large and small, on the entire continent surrounding the Sea of ​​Leto.

And Athena's biological mother was a princess from the Ocean Islands.

The royal family in this country has been born with sea gods from generation to generation. Regardless of whether the power they get is strong or weak, they all have a foothold on the ocean. generation.

The king of that generation had no sons, only two daughters who were as precious as jewels. They inherited long silver hair, beautiful faces, and gentle temperaments, and they were called jewels on the ocean.

However, the most embarrassing thing is that the two princesses failed to awaken, so the country can only rely on the old king to encourage and protect it.

With the rise of Parthia, this country naturally became one of the achievements of the conquering king, and the sister of the two princesses became the first queen of the conquering king.

Not long after, the queen had a pair of twin boys, and the elder brother had awakened early to become a god-favored one.As if it was destiny, this child is the Sea God's Familiar.

The blood of the royal family flowed again from generation to generation, and the Sea God did not abandon their clan after all.

The old king who abdicated was very happy, not only because the sea god still cared about his family, but also because the elder brother of the twins seemed to him to be the next king of Parthia.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the younger brother of the twins suddenly awakened as a god of the underworld, and his power wiped out the royal court. The eldest princess in the royal court died naturally, and the old man who had already entered the aging period was far away on the island. Soon after the king heard the news, he too fell seriously ill, and went with his eldest daughter.

The family dispersed in the blink of an eye, leaving only the little princess who was about to grow up.

Not only to take care of her sister's son, but also to find family support. One year later, the little princess married her ex-brother-in-law and became the second queen of the King of Conquerors.

Another year later, Athena was born.

Not long after Athena was born, she also awakened as a god, the god of the forest.In the short few years he just remembered, he received the tenderness of his mother and the love of his elder brother.

He used to think that he had only one older brother, until the year when his mother died of a serious illness, he followed his mother's coffin to the forbidden area and met his second brother.

At that time, Calpurnia was standing on the high temple, his dark red eyes looked through the layers of white mist, Athena was standing in the life of his brother, and felt that the boy in the distance seemed to have eyes that could speak... …he heard his cry.

It was only later that Athena found out that his biological mother had also taken care of Calpurnia. In the few vivid memories of Calpurnia, he often recalled his little aunt's lively and bright voice.

And as the territory of Parthia opened up to the south of the Sea of ​​Leto, the third queen of the conquering king also came from the south.

This queen of noble birth and bright appearance is not a good person to get along with. She hates the prince who is favored by the gods. For the first time in Athena's life, she is confronted with strong and cold malice.

In those few years, Tileulius, who had fought with his father, had firmly protected his younger brother.The queen was vicious, and Tieuliu became even more ruthless. Perhaps Tieuliu, who was still a child at the beginning, lost more than he won, but within a few years, he would be able to force the queen to avoid him.

Under the protection of his elder brother, Atenai saw what was the real darkness of the court and what was the insidious means of killing without blood.

And Tieuliu began to learn how to pretend. He began to use a gentle smile as his armor, and he used the ruthlessness he learned on the battlefield as his weapon.

But even so, Tieuliu was trying his best to protect his younger brother. He taught him responsibility, taught him kindness, and taught him all good qualities.

Athenai is not good at scheming at all, and he is even more unaccustomed to getting blood on his hands. Fortunately, he has his brother's teaching, and fortunately he can get his brother's protection. grown up.

A few more years passed, and Tileulius, who was captured in the north by his father, was awarded the First King's Palace.

But Tieuliu was not very happy. He may have acted as complacent as an ordinary young man, but Athene knew that his brother was angry in his heart.

At that time, Athene asked him: "Why, brother is not happy?"

Tieuliu replied like this: "My strength doesn't need that man to crown me and affirm me."

In those few years, many children of the King of Conquerors were born. A concubine from the north who was born as a slave was favored. When she gave birth to her second son, her first son who was still in her infancy suddenly Awakened as the favored of the sun god.

This younger brother named Neskhis became the third... no, the fourth favored one among the princes.

The third queen was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She forced the duckweed-like woman to death with her backhand, and she also wanted to attack her two children.

Tieuliu didn't mean to stop her, he silently collected her criminal evidence, but replaced the two brothers with two ordinary babies at the last moment.

When the queen lied that the victim's mother and child were burned to death by the fire, Tieuliu brought down the queen in one fell swoop based on the evidence.

Only then did Athene know that his elder brother had started the plan to kill the queen a few years ago, and the stupid method of creating a fire was also "thought out" by the queen by Tieuliu.

The third queen was put to death, and soon afterward the King of Conquerors welcomed his fourth queen.

And this fourth queen, once she entered the royal court, sat firmly in the queen's position, completely breaking the curse of the queen's demise.

She is Cornelia, a rare beauty from the East.

The new queen was wise and quiet, and she was gentle with everyone, including her stepson, including the other women in the royal court.

However, Tieuliu sent Atenai into the temple without hesitation.

"She is more dangerous than the last one," Tieulius said to him, "but don't worry, Athene, I will protect you."

Then Vibius was born. As soon as the child was born, he awakened the God of Thunder and Lightning, which represented the favor of the king of gods.

At that time, Parthia had become a behemoth, and the only one that could compete with it was the ancient western country of Ilia.

Tieuliu's position became very embarrassing for a time.

"Atenai, one day, I will ascend to that throne." He seemed to be swearing, but also seemed to be telling the truth, "No one, no one will be able to threaten us."

"Brother..." Athenai said, "They are our brothers after all, please don't hurt them?"

At that time, Tieuliu asked in surprise, "Of course...how could I hurt my younger brothers?"

Immediately afterwards, Elijah launched a campaign against Parthia, snatching away the queen who was on the border of Parthia, and a year later, the king of conquest snatched his wife back.

The Queen returned to Parthia more tenderly than ever, and quietly took the prosperous Penza, and secured her position until the Conqueror got used to her company.

The days went on like this, and Neskhis and Oluka were also found by the royal court.

Athenai's brothers came of age one after another, and successively received the title of the king's palace.

Athena, on the other hand, has always chosen to stay in the temple.

No matter whether he is free and easy, or escaping, Athenai has always been lucky to stay away from the disputes in the royal court.

He knew his elder brother's firm ambition since he was a child, and he also understood his elder brother's resentment towards his father in his heart, but he never thought that the elder brother who has always taught him by example, the elder brother who told him what responsibility is, and the elder brother who built the rich Mychenae Islands, but in In the end, for his own ambition... he will sacrifice Ionia.

In the crimson sky, his elder brother turned his back to him and was manipulating the water flow. His back was so majestic, like the embodiment of authority and power... just like his father.

His elder brother had unknowingly inherited his father's desires long ago, and after all, he had become what he hated the most.

As for his brother's choice and actions, he, Atenai, was the only one who had no position to criticize.

But he couldn't forget, the dying brothers, the panicked and desperate people, and those who died unjustly in the sea of ​​fire, the collapsed buildings and the moaning Ionia.

Brother, why do you use this method?

If I had taken over the important task in your hands earlier, if I had left the temple earlier to fight side by side with you, wouldn't we have made it this far?

When Miao Xuan came to the forbidden area, he accidentally saw Atenai outside the Hades Hall.

He simply wore a white robe, which was out of place in the Hades Palace.He looked at the continuous tombs, silent, his emerald green pupils were covered by the eyelids, as if he had fallen into his own deep memory.

For a moment, Miao Xuan didn't know whether to step forward to disturb him.

Someone patted him on the shoulder, and Miao Xuan turned around and saw Kepurnia.

"Let's go." Calpurnia took him by the hand and led him into the temple, "I also know what Tieuliu has done these days... Maybe the most painful thing is Athena."

Miao Xuan looked back at Atenai's back, his pale golden hair was gradually blurred in a white mist: "Because they are brothers who grew up together?"

"Maybe." Calpurnia turned around, and Miao Xuan's shadow was reflected in the dark red pupils, "Atenai's most beloved person is Tieuliu. Whether it's him or me... we all owe Tireulius lives."

Miao Xuan was stunned for a moment before realizing it.

Calpernia's life probably refers to his mother with Tieuliu, and Athene's life is probably because of Tieuliu's kindness as a brother and a father.

"Maybe this is the only advantage of me not being able to leave Hades Palace?" Calpurnia said softly, "I have no choice, but Athene must make a choice now."

"If..." After Calpurnia spat out the word, he suddenly stopped talking.

Miao Xuan looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Calpurnia shook his head and turned around: "Nothing."

Miao Xuan followed him into the temple: "Then I'll come out to find Atenai later."

Calpurnia gave a soft "hmm", silently feeling the warmth from her fingers.

If I hadn't awakened in the king's court back then...if I hadn't been favored by the gods...if my mother hadn't died because of me...maybe all of this would not be what it is now, maybe Tieuliu would have become your truly gentle and reliable elder brother brother...

However, assuming itself is the most meaningless thing.

And I didn't realize until now that I was actually envious of Athena's pain.

After all, he who can suffer because of choices is the one who has the right to choose.

The King of Conquerors' exploitation of the Temple finally aroused growing complaints from the Favored, especially when the gentle remonstrance of the Temple of the First King was dismissed by the King of Conquerors.

To make matters worse, even if the King Conqueror confiscated the property accumulated in the temple for many years, it was still not enough for him to build his dream Ionia.

So the arrogant monarch ordered to raise taxes, and let the richest planters, well-known wealthy merchants, and giants with a large number of merchant ships in all parts of Parthia dedicate them to Parthia. property. *

Naturally, there are opponents, but anyone who opposes the King of Conquerors, no matter what his status is, whether he is favored by the gods or not, he has only one ending—death.

They were either assassinated or died of "accidents", and during this period, only the army belonging to the King of Conquerors was active in the whole country.

Dozens of subjects who had followed the conquering king died because of this, and the palaces of the king were silent. It's just that in just a few months, chaos broke out in the behemoth of Parthia.

People accustomed to peace recalled the past wars, and the ominous language once again spread in Parthia.

Why did the gods abandon Parthia?It can only be because of their arrogant and brutal monarchs!

In such an eventful year, nine-tenths of the new capital of Ionia has been completed. As estimated by Miao Xuan, the new king could not accept the original population, and many Ionian aborigines were forcibly driven out. their homes.

These citizens who played their part in the construction of the capital had to leave Ionia, some wandered away towards Parthia, and more people built their own land on the outskirts of the capital. They lived temporarily in a simple shack.

After all, this world is an era where monsters are rampant. Even though Miao Xuan has cleaned up the area for two years, for ordinary people, no matter which forest is hidden, there is danger.

There is no safer place in the world than Ionia.

But at this time, the construction of New Ionia was completed, and the King of Conquerors wanted to hold a grand celebration, unveiling his next plan, a plan that was more costly and financial-rebuilding the royal court.

The author has something to say:

* It was Nero who built the new capital of Rome, and that's what he did.After exploiting the temple, he didn’t have enough money, so he directly asked the richest family in the country to donate their property, and the method was very rough. Either the owner committed suicide and handed over the property to the country in the will, or the whole family was cold and the property was naturally handed over to the country. He also assassinated opponents in the Senate and bloodbathed Rome.In the end, rebellions broke out and his subordinates betrayed. Nero failed to escape and committed suicide.

So FGO, you are a big ass-eyed person, you set up fraud and use cute girls to lie to me.
