Chapter 252 Angel Tribe "Visit"
……
One month ago, Western Continent.
The Alans Empire also received the good news.
A new divine king beast was born in the Eastern Continent, and it was born at the royal level!
Now, the East Continent is destined to remain at the top of the beast world.
There was a lot of discussion in the court.
The relationship between the East Continent and the West Continent has never been good. For tens of thousands of years, local wars and frictions have often occurred on the border between the two territories. There has never been a large-scale war between the two continents, and a balanced peace has been maintained. However, once the balance is broken, the West Continent must prepare for a rainy day.
Some are optimistic, some are pessimistic.
"Not necessarily. It's not like there are no Descendant God King Beast Tribes in our Western Continent."
"If we really fight, it's unclear whether we'll win or lose."
"At present, the newly born beasts of the ancient gods in the East Continent have not grown up yet, so there is no need to worry. But what about the future? What about thousands of years later?"
"Yes, it is really worrying. I don't know what luck the Eastern Continent has. I heard that in just a few years, three natural king beasts with the bloodline of the Lost Gods were born one after another. On the contrary, the Angel Clan has not had any news of the birth of a new bloodline in a thousand years..."
"The angel clan gave birth to the only divine angel in the world thousands of years ago. He has already broken through to the supreme realm. There is no need to worry." Some people also said in awe.
There are constant conflicts and struggles within the Western Continent for territory.
But they all have only one belief——
The angel clan, in charge of the temple.
On the surface, the beast kings of all parties rule the city-states, but in reality, all kings are under the jurisdiction of the temple.
The Temple has the absolute power to appoint and dismiss the Beast Kings of the major empires. Only the King Beasts who are loyal to the Temple and receive the Temple's blessing are qualified to become Beast Kings.
Throughout the years, the Beast Kings of the major empires in the Western Continent were nothing more than puppets appointed by the Holy Temple… However, in the past thousand years, the Holy Temple no longer had jurisdiction over any issues in the Western Continent and gradually disappeared from the public eye, leaving the world to contend for supremacy and for each party to establish its own separate regime.
I don't know if it has something to do with the angels' gradual decline.
"I heard that the Holy Son is infertile and has been nowhere to be found for a thousand years, which is equivalent to having no descendants..."
Someone said something and the ministers fell silent.
If a male cannot reproduce and continue his bloodline, what is the point no matter how strong he is.
Duotu had no intention of listening to these words. He stared at the report in his hand and did not speak for a long time.
He didn't care about the newly born God King Beast in the East Continent, but instead paid attention to the female biological mother who was only mentioned briefly in the report.
His fingers traced the half-line of writing, "…Who is this female? Is there any information about her?"
The ministers below heard the Beast King speak and asked this question.
Someone reacted.
"Yes, when did such a female king beast appear? Her fertility is so amazing and unheard of?"
"I heard that she is not one of those noble female king beasts native to the East Continent."
"She is the new companion of the Phoenix Emperor of the East Continent. She was crowned shortly after giving birth to a child. She is well protected. There is almost no news about her in other continents. The people in the East Continent must know more. I will send someone to inquire about her."
"Ah."
The ministers all noticed that His Majesty seemed a little absent-minded.
Could it be... that he was thinking of the deceased queen?
Speaking of the queen, who wouldn't say it's a pity? She was also a very outstanding royal female who gave birth to a precious and outstanding little prince for the royal family. Unfortunately, she was short-lived and was killed by treacherous officials.
Duotu asked all the ministers to leave. He stayed alone and read the news.
The emerald green eyes were as dark as ink, and his fingers tightened slightly.
Over the years, he only knew that she was the one who could give birth to the king beast's offspring so easily.
Although he knew it was not the same person, he couldn't help but think of her.
He had always known very well that she had never loved him, either before or after she knew the secret.
She had wanted to have a child with him back then, only because she was attracted by his innate power... Oh, if she were still alive, she would definitely not let the Beast King of a country go.
Duotu had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He suddenly frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about. He picked up his coat, quickly stood up and walked out.
"Someone, go to the Imperial Mausoleum..."
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The little prince is missing!"
Someone hurriedly came to report, interrupting his thoughts.
"Hephis is missing?" Duotu's face suddenly turned cold, and his voice was low and fierce, "It was still there this morning. What are you doing? You can't even take care of a child!"
"It was the little prince who said he wanted to practice flying after lunch this morning, so we accompanied him to play over at the Flower Forest Sea. But when we turned around, the little prince didn't know where to go! We searched everywhere nearby but couldn't find the little prince, so we had no choice but to come here to inform His Majesty."
"You should have told me this earlier! If Hephis is missing, you guys should come to me with your heads!"
Duotu hurriedly took people to Hualinhai.
Although he has secured his position as the Beast King by keeping out the enemies at home over the years, he has made more enemies. Countless eyes are staring at the palace. What if Hephes is targeted by those people and something goes wrong... Duotu couldn't even think about it. He would go crazy!
The son was not found in the palace.
Duotu was so anxious that he mobilized the army and searched all the possible places.
Fortunately, just before he collapsed, the little lion came out from the bushes and shouted, "Father!"
Duo Xiang seemed to be alive again. He hugged his son tightly. The surprise and fear of regaining his son made his body tremble uncontrollably. "Where have you been running off to again!"
Hephesus shrank back in fear when he heard his father's cold and sharp rebuke, realizing that he might have really gotten into trouble this time...
My father usually dotes on it and gives it whatever it wants. No matter how big a mess it gets into, my father has never been as angry as he is today.
Hephis looked up and saw that Duotu's eyes were red. He was startled and almost thought that his father was crying. He hurriedly said,
"I'm sorry, father. I will tell you where I'm going next time..."
"Well, you are the only one your father has, and he doesn't want anything to happen to you." Duotu took a deep breath, and his low voice couldn't stop trembling.
"No, father. I didn't run around this time. I was playing in the garden when some strange uncles suddenly appeared and said they wanted to take me away! I wanted to stay with you, father, and I wouldn't go with them! I was also afraid that they were bad guys and wanted to take me away, so I hid here secretly." Hephes said.
Duotu frowned fiercely.
At this time, another servant came to report.
The voice was a little apprehensive.
"Your Majesty, someone from the Temple has arrived and said they want to discuss state affairs with Your Majesty."
Duotu was also stunned for a moment, then his face became even colder, his sword-like eyebrows twisted deeply into a "川" shape, "The people of the Temple want to interfere in the affairs of Alans? Haven't they stopped asking about the affairs of the major empires over the years?"
The orc lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and whispered, "It seems that they came here this time to take the little prince away."
"The people that Your Highness met this morning were the servants sent by the Temple."
Multi-image, "…where are they now?"
"The temple attendants are waiting in the council hall, just waiting for your majesty to come over."
Duotu looked down at the little lion in his arms, a hint of obscurity flashed in the depths of his eyes. He knew he could not hide it anymore, and after hesitating for a long time, he took it to the meeting hall.
