Chapter 635: The truth was exposed (1)
Metheus had killed Lei Qie and taken the Fang of Time in an instant. The change was too sudden, and Lei Qie’s followers couldn’t react in time.
When they came back to their senses, they saw Lei Qie lying in the water, and no one knew if he was dead or alive.
The female lead cried out in agony. Gu Le hurriedly knelt beside Lei Qie, fed him a life-saving pill, and checked his injuries.
Gu Le’s face gradually sank into despair after the examination. The female protagonist looked at his face and begged him to save Lei Qie in disbelief, just like how she had saved him from the edge of death countless times before.
The shy genius apothecary was helpless in front of the woman he loved, who was begging him. His lips trembled, and he didn’t know how to tell the woman the bad news. Lei Qi’s heart had been pierced. He couldn’t survive.
The scene fell into silence. Many of the followers who thought they could complete the task of following the dragon looked frightened. The mystery and power of Metheus made them afraid. They thought that he was invincible. He was indeed worthy of being the god of the Kingdom of Aegros.
” Oh!” A man knelt down and shouted at Metheus,” Great Bishop, please forgive me for being blinded by the pagans!”
This was the first one, and then there was the second, and then the third…More and more people knelt down to Metheus, showing that they had been deceived. With the death of the heretics, their hearts were restored to purity.
The female lead shouted angrily,”You bunch of vermin!” Trash! Trash! You have betrayed Lei Qie’s trust, you deserve to die!” Then, she looked at Metheus with hatred.” You demon!
You’re not a messenger of God, you’re even crueler than a demon, you’ll suffer retribution, you’ll die a horrible death!”
Gu Le, who was beside her, was shocked. He quickly stepped forward to block her, his eyes cautiously and nervously looking at Metheus.
He was afraid that Metheus would attack the female protagonist, but he knew that once Metheus attacked, it would definitely be four people. He still moved faster than his thoughts to block in front of the female protagonist.
This pure and sincere feeling was undoubtedly touching. It was imaginable that everyone would be touched by Gu Le. Only the female lead herself seemed to not feel it. She said to Gu Le,” Gu Le, let go!”
” Don’t provoke him,” Gu Le turned back to look at her.” You’ll get hurt.”
“I’m not afraid of him!” The female protagonist gritted her teeth. Then, she turned her head and saw Lei Qie’s corpse again. Her eyes turned red again.” I’m not afraid of anything now!”
Gu Le opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
However, Metheus didn’t pay attention to them. He was looking at the dagger in his hand as if he was looking at a dead object.
” The Archbishop is the best master of the Fang of Time!” a kneeling official shouted.” You are the king who can bring the Kingdom of Eggros to prosperity!”
Everyone’s expression changed, and their minds began to move. Metheus had designed so many things just to get the Tooth of Time, so why did he want it? That’s right! In order to become the king of the Kingdom of Aegros! He was not of royal blood, so even if he was the faith of the people of the country, he could not become the king of this country. However, it was different with the Tooth of Time. According to the country’s regulations, the person recognized by the Tooth of Time was the best king in the Kingdom of Egros.
Perhaps Metheus not only wanted divine power, but he also wanted imperial power. He wanted to become the true and only ruler of the Kingdom of Aegros!
“Is that so? Metheus?” Aske also heard this. He thought for a while and said to Metheus,” If it were you, you would definitely do better than me.”
The faces of the officials kneeling below twitched. That was it! They could not be blamed for betraying their king, because their new king was too naive and unambitious. They were really afraid that the Kingdom of Egros would be destroyed by him.
“No, you are the king.” Metheus handed the dagger in his hand to Aske.
Everyone looked over in shock, unable to understand how Metheus could give the Tooth of Time that he had spent so much effort to obtain to Aske.
Aske did not think too much about it. He took it and lowered his head to study it.” It looks very ordinary. It’s not even as beautiful as my dagger.”
Metheus raised his chin at a God’s Servant below.
The God’s Servant turned around and brought a civil servant over.
This was a historian who was responsible for recording the history of the country and major events in all aspects.
These recorded things would be preserved and recited by future generations.
” Prince Aske has been recognized by the Fang of Time. He is the seventh king of Ageroth,” Metheus said to the seemingly upright official.
If Asker’s succession was not acknowledged by most people, then with the Tooth of Time in his hands, the history books would say that he was destined to be the king and respected by future generations.
The civil official looked at Asker, who was still studying the Tooth of Time, and then at the silver-haired priest. He sighed softly and took out the book and pen he carried with him, writing down every word.
The people present still couldn’t believe it. Metheus had done all this just to help Aske? What did this idiot prince have that was worth it for Metheus to do this? Oh right! They knew that Aske must be a puppet king controlled by Metheus. The more legitimate he was, the more prestige Metheus would have.
“Metheus…”
Metheus turned his head.
A dagger stabbed into Metheus ‘chest.
No one had expected such a change. The person who hurt Metheus was actually the most harmless and useless Aske.
“Hurry up! Close-up for Metheus!” Xiao Jin ordered from outside the arena.
The cameraman was an old master. Before Xiao Jin gave the order, he had already aimed the camera at Si Huang and captured the change in her eyes the moment she was stabbed.
Xiao Jin looked at the small television with satisfaction. He took a deep breath and shouted,”Cut!” Everyone, you’ve worked hard. Phoenix Si will go down to do her makeup, and Chu Heng will prepare for the next scene.”
Chu Heng was the actor who played Aske. When he heard the voice, he let out a long sigh and asked Si Huang with concern,” Are you okay?” I’m so nervous. I’m afraid that I won’t have enough strength to take a bad take, but I’m also afraid that I’ll really hurt you.”
“I’m fine.” Si Huang glanced at him and smiled faintly. With that, she went off to the makeup artist to prepare for the next scene.
Chu Heng followed behind and said embarrassedly,”Your acting skills are really good.” Actually, I’ve been wanting to get some experience from you for a long time. How do you think I should act in the last scene?”
“Act according to the script.” Si Huang said.
Chu Heng touched his head awkwardly.” I know, but I don’t know how to express that kind of feeling. The more I think about it, the more nervous I get. I can’t think of anything.” Then, he looked at Si Huang with anticipation,” If it’s you, you can definitely do it easily.”
