Chapter 1606 The Clown
Chapter 1606 The Clown
While the frontline soldiers are defending their country, there are always some people who are considering what price they can fetch for their status and position.
This battle was no exception.
Yizi has a very glorious surname and an even more glorious birth. Probably in this island country, at least 99% of the families are not as good as this family who is regarded as a living god.
But she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she only caught up with the tail end of the family's glory.
In the half century dominated by modern states, most countries not only lost the so-called imperial power, but also swept the monarchy and feudal system into the dustbin of history. In the memory of these "born nobles", they were still a privileged class decades ago, but now they have to be careful to avoid mobile phones and cameras when they even lose their temper with servants. They are no different from "common people".
A mascot, an "antique" that proves that its people have history and culture, is how the Sakurajima royal family positions itself internally and externally.
But Iko didn't think so. When she was young, it was the end of Sakurajima's golden age. When she was a child, she followed her uncle and saw a militaristic war country. At that time, the royal family was the real imperial power. When she walked outside, the cheers, the enthusiasm and tears from the heart, all became the past that she was unwilling to walk out of.
But don't get me wrong, she ultimately took this path not to revive her family and era, but
“I haven’t had enough good days yet, why am I getting old?”
The once pretty face had begun to show wrinkles, and by the time she was in her late thirties, the “Princess” could no longer endure it.
She could accept the passing of time, but could not accept the end of her wealthy life. She could not accept herself with crow's feet when she accidentally appeared on the TV screen. What she could not accept even more was that she actually found out that she had some invisible genetic diseases and it was very likely that her later years would be uncertain.
".I want to live happily, just like the little princess I was back then, without having to worry about anything."
So she mobilized all the strength she could.
"Your Highness, birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws. There is no way to solve them."
In the era when supernatural powers began to emerge, when she asked for local supernatural powers but received no response, she naturally began to learn some traditional skills of the island country.
".As long as I can regain my youth, it doesn't matter which of the eight million gods in which world it is."
The worship of evil gods and cults is a traditional art in many countries outside the East, and even the top leaders of many countries have been completely trapped in it. After all, on the one hand, they already have everything, and human hearts have no limits, so they will naturally pursue such illusory things as longevity and the afterlife. On the other hand, with their voter mentality, they allow themselves to enjoy all this with peace of mind, and will instinctively find a so-called belief and righteousness in death.
In this world, evil gods really exist. When the evil gods of this world cannot satisfy Princess Yiko, she naturally turns to evil gods from foreign lands.
Thus, she became the "inside agent" before Octopus arrived in this world.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't just happen to find the Eight Claws, but among the more than thirty real and fake evil gods she was looking for, the Eight Claws happened to be one of them.
Once those who betray their country and their race cross that bottom line, they will not hesitate to sell out a few more companies.
And those evil gods from foreign lands never think there is anything wrong with making random promises.
Moreover, many "promises" do not need to be fulfilled. Even if the contract really needs to be fulfilled, there are countless classic ways to misinterpret them.
For example, someone who desires immortality can be turned into a living stone, and someone who desires a healthy body can simply have his head replaced. As long as he is still healthy at that moment, the contract is naturally considered to be reached.
In order to fully realize the "wish", a professional legal worker and a dictionary-style contract that the opponent cannot find loopholes in are needed, but obviously, most "believers" cannot negotiate conditions with their masters, and Yizi's brain is not rational enough to this extent.
".I gave you the layout of the defense, gave you the plane coordinates, and helped you put the original defense commander in jail, and you treat me like this??!"
Yizi couldn't understand, really couldn't understand why she would suffer such a misfortune.
He had obviously given everything he had, and had even directly caused the collapse of the defense line. During that last period of time, he even sold out his brother and family, causing the royal family's escape to fail and all the clan secrets to be leaked, and in the end, he was given this?
"I have fulfilled my promise, given you a young body, and married you." In front of her, lay a huge whale man as big as a mountain. He was her master and her husband.
The words of the "Murloc Lord" elicited undisguised laughter from the onlookers.
Everyone knows that this fish man has at least hundreds of creatures.
In front of him, the one who was leaping with rage was a "little guy" who was not even as tall as his knees.
An ugly half-merfic had been twisted by anger and humiliation, and on the ceiling nearby, there were mocking merfic heads hanging. Pouring the brain of life into the merfic to give it "new life" was a fairly mature technique for these high-ranking members of the octopus clan.
Yizi is not smart, but what her staff told her is correct. The contract with the alien creatures is the prerequisite for making a deal.
And before she sold everything, she did think carefully about the future of the main base. In her impression, outsiders came to occupy her country and needed local agents. She, with noble blood, was the best candidate.
She could restore her youthful self and marry a rich man. She was not stupid enough to succeed by seducing people with her sex. Marrying with a foreign partner could increase her value as a "comprador". Family marriage was the most reliable way to form an alliance. For some things, she was willing to give up her body.
Even if we only consider the royal family, being able to regain youth, being able to transform from a decorative royal family into a real king, even if there is a bunch of fathers above you, is better than now. At least in the past, that's what she thought.
But now, not only was she placed in the body of a young fishman, she inexplicably contracted a bunch of skin diseases and illnesses, her entire body was itchy, and she was also witnessed by her "brother" and "tribesmen" who laughed at her ugly appearance.
The "human heads" hanging from the ceiling are the few dead family members of hers. They are still alive after being squeezed out of all their value, which means that her "husband" wants to make fun of her.
In this hall, every face is laughing at herself. What's even more tragic is that Yizi knows that she has become a clown, but she acts even more angry and aggressively, more like a clown.
"Otherwise, they might think I'm useless and just step on me to death." She was terrified. She had seen her husband's expression of "I'm tired of her, I want to step on her to death" several times.
At this point, the good education and life experience she had received in the past finally came into play. She had lost her value and was able to survive, which meant that her "husband" needed her, the clown, to play time.
Only if you are valuable can you survive. If you are worthless, then at least you are interesting. The "clown" thought so and started the first round of performance.
"I am a princess, you must respect me and love me"
"Haha." Then the whole courtyard was filled with happy laughter.
In the shadows of the hall, Lu Ping'an also laughed very loudly, and his laughter merged with that of the other fishmen, making them indistinguishable from each other.
