Chapter 177 Bird's Death
"What are you waiting for?"
Di Qi understood and immediately spoke in a muffled voice. His voice was so awkward that the Bubulu people had to suppress their laughter.
"Um...Lord Carter."
On the way, the soldiers couldn't help but point at Bubulu and the others, asking in awe, "You always like to be alone, so why are you followed by such a group of... uh... weird-looking guys today? And your attire is really..."
Diqi hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer. Seeing this, Jiaozi immediately approached him with a playful smile and said:
"That's right! We are all good friends of Lord Carter. Lord Carter specially changed into our traditional costumes to welcome us."
"Well, that's it."
Seeing the stairs leading down, Di Qi had no choice but to follow and talk in a panic.
.
Soon, the group arrived at Lang Sheng's main palace.
Sitting on the throne was a young man in his twenties. Upon seeing Di Qi coming, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"These are my friends who came from afar..." Di Qi gritted his teeth and explained using Jiaozi's words.
"welcome."
The emperor said in a friendly manner, "Carter and I have been friends since childhood. If you are his friends, you are also my friends. Don't impose on me. If you have any requests, feel free to ask."
"Thank you." Teacher Kuroisagi responded.
"Hey hey hey..."
Jiaozi smiled wickedly and pulled everyone over. "Even the emperor didn't recognize Diqi's identity. I'm afraid Diqi will still have this baby face when he grows up to be in his twenties! Hahahaha..."
At this point, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Fortunately, Teacher Kurosaurus glared back at them, which helped them to stop laughing.
On the other side, Di Qi was chatting animatedly with the Emperor, and everyone then understood the current situation.
It turned out that the emperor asked them to come this time in order to have them participate in the Harvest Festival to be held tonight - this was one of the reasons, and the more important reason was to hint at something and let Carter make a decision as soon as possible.
The Layton family has practiced martial arts for generations, using the "Golden Lion" as their emblem, emphasizing military strategy. The Sharna family, on the other hand, emphasizes literary strategy, using the "Black Fox" as their symbol. It was thanks to the assistance of Carter Layton and Dino Shar that the Emperor was able to defeat the other princes and ascend the throne.
However, the ambitions of the Sharna family grew rapidly, and they even attempted to replace the emperor. The emperor could not tolerate this and ordered the warriors of the Layton family to launch a surprise attack on the Sharna family on the night of the Harvest Festival to completely eliminate them!
"Carter, I respect your choice."
Tianzi's voice was slightly tired. "No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Everyone left the palace with heavy hearts. The Harvest Festival was tonight, and it seemed they had to make a choice.
The soldiers were startled to see Diqi come out. They had just come out when the real Carter went in. Jiaozi made up a lie to get rid of the soldiers.
"what should we do?"
Bubulu, who had always been upright, was troubled by this issue. "Do we really want to watch those unarmed people being slaughtered?"
Selina broke out in a cold sweat. "But we can't completely believe the emperor's one-sided words... But no matter what, the Sharna family has definitely committed a serious crime!"
"calm down."
Yi Yin shrugged. "Remember? We are now in the ancient kingdom of Langsheng, more than four hundred years ago, the night before it disappeared. Something big is bound to happen tonight, and we are destined to drift with the tide of history and become a part of it. No matter what choices we make, it will not change the general direction of history."
"So what's your suggestion..." Jiaozi asked in a daze.
"My suggestion is—"
Yi Yin suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Do nothing."
.
Doing nothing, it seemed that Yiyin had already grasped the essence of the magic conch. And everyone just listened to Yiyin's advice and waited silently.
That night.
The lively Harvest Festival was about to begin. Everyone found out the location of the Sharna family's mansion and quickly rushed over, intending to watch from the sidelines.
But they were still a step too late. By the time they arrived, the mansion had been ransacked and was filled with a heavy, bloody smell...
Diqi suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that Carter had already taken action?
Everyone searched the ruins for something, but found nothing. Their actions were too cruel and sophisticated, almost eliminating all signs of life.
But the spark of life will not be extinguished so easily.
As if sensing someone coming, a hand slowly stretched out from the ruins.
Seeing this, Di Qi hurriedly dug up the rubble. After digging the man out, Di Qi was stunned.
Those fiery red eyes look like Yuguka's!
"Carter...it's you. Why are you back?"
The man struggled to stand up, and everyone saw that he was protecting a frightened little boy under him.
Tiki quickly realized that the man in front of him was Dino Sharna. What should he say now?
Dino cried out in pain and pushed the little boy in front of Tiki.
"Carter, for the sake of our long-standing friendship, I beg you to take good care of him. He is the only flesh and blood of our Sharna family..."
"What's going on?" Di Qi asked hurriedly.
"..."
With a blood-curdling wail and two lines of tears, Dino told Diqi what had happened not long ago.
……
In the evening, Carter Layton went to Dino Charles's house for a dinner.
During the meal, Carter secretly told Dino the content of his conversation with Tianzi.
"The Emperor has issued an ultimatum to me. You must leave tonight, the farther away the better, and never interfere in Langsheng's state affairs again! Otherwise, the Emperor will not let you go!"
Dino, however, asked Carter nonchalantly, "Why should I run? If I run, wouldn't it just prove I'm guilty? My sincerity is evident to all!"
"Of course I trust you, and I know you well," Carter said helplessly, "but the emperor wouldn't think so! He'll fight to the death to concentrate power in his own hands. Dino, don't joke with the lives of your people. Staying alive is what matters!"
Under Carter's persuasion, Dino finally decided to escape.
However, as soon as Carter left, the emperor's trusted army brought a large number of troops and quickly razed the Sharna family's mansion.
When the Harvest Festival reaches its climax, they will activate a large number of explosive crystals to make the Sharna family disappear from Langsheng forever.
……
“Dino…”
Di Qi didn't know what to say. He knew that Dino was at the end of his strength and would not live to witness the end of Lang Sheng.
"Carter, you rejected the emperor's request. He will definitely send someone to do the same thing to you. Take your family and leave Langsheng quickly before dawn. Take good care of my child and don't let him forget the family's hatred. The blood of the Sharna family will always irrigate this ugly land of Langsheng..."
After saying that, Dino closed his eyes.
Everyone buried Dino early with heavy hearts.
"I'm not sure if I should ask you something," Yiyin said. "Dino looks to be in his twenties, about the same age as Carter. How come his child is already this big?"
As he spoke, Yi Yin gestured up and down, "Is this eight years old?"
"Just think of it like Lang Sheng and Taras. People can get married early."
Jiaozi accepted it quickly. "Now we should tell Carter, Dicky! If your ancestors are gone..."
Di Qi took a deep breath. If his ancestors died here, he would disappear as well!
Oh, this horrible grandfather paradox!
So, everyone worked non-stop, and while everyone was immersed in the fireworks display of the Harvest Festival, they quickly found and forced their way into Carter's house.
.
Facing several people who came out of nowhere, Carter himself seemed extremely calm.
"Let me think... What should I say now? Oh, by the way, I've heard some stories about my late father's romantic affairs. I believe you are the half-brother he mentioned, right?"
"..."
Di Qi's face was full of black lines, and he obviously had nothing to say.
Jiaozi leaned over to Diqi's ear and whispered, "Just like the relationship between me and my eldest brother, it seems Carter also has a half-brother! Diqi, I don't know how many generations older you are, you're simply winning."
