Chapter 476: Chapter 152: You’re Freeloading Here

The kings, they have been guarding the mysteries throughout the ages. In a sense, the king is the number one person in the mysterious side of this world.

They are also the nominal leaders and the strongest.

The reason why they are only nominal is that after becoming the king, they must stay close to the mysteries and become the gatekeepers of the mysteries.

So... they become a symbol?

Li Changhe is not clear about the nature of the mysteries.

But if he had to choose, he would not abandon his friends and family for the sake of the so-called mysteries and cut off all ties to become the miserable gatekeeper.

Is it not miserable? Even if they glimpse the truth and become invincible in the world.

But cutting off their connection with everything is no different from death.

Life can bear responsibility, enjoy happiness, and experience suffering. It can also create life.

As for exchanging it for the elusive truth?

At least Li Changhe does not have the mindset of ’learn the truth and be willing to die in the evening.’

However, despite this, the king’s position is still coveted and sought after by the vast majority of mages.

But now to learn that such a coveted position is merely a pawn for some existence.

The mage version of controlling the emperor to rule the lords?

The Han Emperor would probably be stomping on them in rage.

"So, didn’t you people take any precautions?" Qiu Wentian asked: "Since you already know there will be problems with the king, with your abilities, you should be able to do something, right?"

"First of all, we have to rule out the spread of this news." Li Changhe started: "If those mages know that the Carmen family has an existence that can glance upon the mysteries, what would they do? You have to know that becoming the king and dying are not much different, and not everyone has the courage to be the ’king.’ But now there is an existence that can glimpse the mysteries and stay alive safely. After learning all this, they would not try to take down the so-called king, but directly attack Carmen Heavy Industries..."

"To snatch me."

The woman in the container blinked and said, "Exactly, this is a more likely scenario. And spreading other rumors would instead arouse outsiders’ suspicions. So, we did not reveal this secret to anyone."

In the face of interests, face and inside stories are irrelevant. If exposed, Carmen Heavy Industries would face the scrutiny of mages.

"So...if I know about it now, won’t I have to be silenced?" Luca looked shocked. He was not a member of Carmen Heavy Industries, a complete outsider. This was a secret that even the members of Carmen Heavy Industries did not know.

"Because there is no need now." The old man who spoke before said, "When the Seven Kings War is over, even if the family master can survive, she can no longer peer into the mysteries."

When her brother, who was a king’s pawn, finally died, the Carmen family master would no longer have the ability to peer into the mysteries. In fact, it was even worse. Without her brother’s Protection, she might soon pay the price for peeking into the mysteries.

"He is getting weaker and weaker." The woman in the container spoke again, "In this container, I can only stay awake for about an hour intermittently every day. But after the Seven Kings War started, my clear-headed time became longer and longer. The evil spirit is getting weaker; perhaps it’s because my brother’s body, which serves as the vessel, can no longer hold up, or maybe it’s because he’s suppressing something else..."

"You guys... should know what that is."

As the electronic synthetic voice said this sentence, Li Changhe and Qiu Wentian’s hearts moved.

Suppressing something else... the real heroic spirits? Getting weaker and weaker... is it because the [Players] are entering the world one after another, and he has to suppress or prevent those heroic spirits that should have appeared?

Moreover, according to the family master’s meaning... she has already figured out the identities of Li Changhe and the others?

Regarding the opponent’s weakening, it isn’t surprising.

In the eyes of the [Evolution Game], although the [Players] are treated like stepchildren, at least they won’t let the players die in vain.

Otherwise, players like Li Changhe wouldn’t even reach LV10 and would have to fight divine creatures with their heads?

"No wonder you’ve already peeked into the mysteries and figured out that we’re [Players]," Li Changhe thoughts and then asked, "What was the existence of the previous Ninth King?"

He was the strongest mage of his time. During that Seven Kings War, he fought alongside the champion.

Several heroic spirits together couldn’t defeat them.

Perhaps it was because the champion had left behind some kind of countermeasure, or maybe it was due to his own strength that he barely escaped from the clutches of the evil spirit.

So, not long after the Ninth Seven Kings War ended, the Tenth Seven Kings War began in another city.

The evil spirit must have been panicked at that time.

But that king also got tainted by the substance that humans should not touch.

Anyone who touched it would go mad; it was the embodiment of human sin, Black Mud.

No wonder those who died were all suicides, they could not bear the frenzy and chose to end themselves.

And because of his own strength, that king persisted for hundreds of years, and he also went mad for hundreds of years.

His ideals and justice turned into carved-in-bone hatred and paranoia.

"In the end, he figured out a way to threaten the evil spirit. That Berserker Rank was his means to deal with the evil spirit. The attack on our Carmen family this time was just to hone the Berserker’s strength." The woman inside the container said through the synthetic voice, "It’s his revenge. When you killed the Berserker, he completely despaired. In the last moment, he gave up everything to elevate himself to a height close to that of the evil spirit...and cursed you, trying to make you become a similar existence to the Berserker, and complete his revenge."

"Now it seems that his all-giving curse ... has failed." The woman in the container looked at Li Changhe, her eyes full of Abnormality.

How could it not fail? Big Lead was even cracked open!

"So, after the Spear Rank is summoned, it will be his weakest moment." Li Changhe didn’t say much but concluded, "Which is tomorrow."

"Yes, our Contractors have already died and no longer possess heroic spirits." The old man spoke, "As the king, he has a natural suppression ability to us mages. The only ones who can defeat him are heroic spirits. So we would like to ask the two of you..."

"To pull that evil spirit off the throne!"

"So, you guys just watch us from behind?" Li Changhe held Qiu Wentian’s shoulder, indicating her not to agree too quickly.

At such a moment, you can’t be too hasty.

"We will provide remote support and protect your Contractors."

"Talk about something more practical. I don’t like putting my life in others’ hands. We can take care of our own Contractors," Li Changhe laughed, "I mean, what other benefits?"

"Benefits?"

"We have other ways to complete this Seven Kings War. Since you want us to deal with such dangerous things, you shouldn’t expect us to do it for nothing. This is simply taking advantage of us!"
