Chapter 163: The Dog of Imagination (5k)

To the southeast of King Baratheon's Palace is a small palace covered with mirrors of various colors.

It was built by the ninth Baratheon monarch, when he ascended the throne, and was not officially completed until the day after his death.

Because the power of the Baratheon royal family began to decline during that period.

Therefore, this palace, known as the Mirror Palace, was tabooed by the Baratheon royal family.

Not only were there very few royal family members who came here, it was even nearly demolished several times.

However, because the imperial power fell into the wrong hands, even the demolition of the mirror palace failed.

Today, Moon specially entertained Miss Benalana here.

One is that the scenery here is nice, and the second is to tell people that there is no need to be superstitious about this mirror palace.

But anyway, as soon as he came in, Moon suddenly felt that maybe the rumors had some truth to them.

Due to design issues, Moon saw his own reflection in countless mirrors of different sizes as soon as he entered the door.

Plus the weird angle the designer placed it at.

Moon's shadow was not reflected in its entirety, but different parts of his body were reflected on different mirrors in different positions.

This looks just like the unlucky player who accidentally chose the wrong option, not only causing all his previous efforts to be wasted, but also causing himself to be chopped to pieces by a hatchet.
With just one glance, Moon knew that people's superstition about this place was really justified.

What kind of genius designer would come up with this kind of design?
Or does he really think that this patchwork of 'reflections' is very artistic?

Because so many years have passed, Moon doesn't know what the former designer was thinking.

However, Moon really wanted to dig him out of his grave and ask him if there was something wrong with his brain.

But now that I have come this far, there is no way that a king like me would just change places for such a reason.

That's too embarrassing.

So Moon ignored everything and walked in.

But the further he went inside, the more Moon wanted to greet that genius designer.

Because he is the king, he naturally takes the main seat, so when the others are reflected completely on the mirror, only he is fragmented in different mirrors.
Wait until the royal knights outside closed the door.

Bella, who had been quietly following Miss Benalana, suddenly spoke up:
"The designer of this palace not only has unique insights in architecture, but also has a very high talent for mathematics."

"Otherwise, mediocre people would not be able to design such an exquisite building."

"This palace, thanks to his efforts, uses all its unique features to highlight the owner of the palace, the person who must walk in the center."

Very well said, this designer is undoubtedly a genius, but he is also a guy with extremely low EQ.

Also, the voice was very soft, and even made Moon feel that it was a bit like Aurora, the woman who was the embodiment of charm.

But it was the sound of a dog.

Following the sound, Miss Benalana was already standing behind Bella.

The positions of master and servant seemed to be reversed.

Seeing Moen's gaze sweeping over, Bella said seriously:
"Do you mind if I sit up here?"

Moen stretched out his hand and said:
"Of course, after all, this trip is to entertain you."

After a brief pause, Moon added:
"The true master of the Eastern Business Union."

There is no doubt that in the room of the Eastern Commercial Union, the golden retriever in all the portraits on the wall is the one in front of you.

No wonder Miss Benalana would keep stroking the golden retriever every time she discussed important matters with her.

At first, Moon thought that the matter was too serious and she was seeking comfort from her pet, but now it seems that it was completely because she had no way to make the decision, so she asked Bella for her opinion.

Ah, thinking about it, for some unimportant things that Miss Benalana is indeed hesitant about, she will make a decision after Bella calls her twice.

This is such a bad taste.

"Thank you for your leniency, Your Majesty."

"Also, you are wrong, great Sword and Shield King. I am not the master of the Eastern Business Union. I am just a dog."

"Bena Lana respects me only because I have taken care of her since she was a child. Of course, the same goes for the rest of the people. After all, who made me the one who has lived the longest in this family?"

Looking at the big golden retriever talking in front of him.

Moon felt it was a little weird. Even though he was used to all kinds of outrageous scenes, this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

When he first saw this very smart pet dog, Moon wondered if the young lady had given it a potion and it might have a not-low sequence.

But Moon never expected this to be the case.

The dog is the master.
Mo En nodded subtly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bella continue:

"You are right. I have almost guessed everything. You really surprised me from the bottom of my heart, Your Majesty."

Obviously, because of my own uniqueness and Moon's actions.

Bella, the big golden retriever, is currently the first and only person who has directly guessed Moon's identity.

Saints, Trajan, the Eternal King, all identities that Moon had handed over as 'authentic' were equivalent to being exposed in front of it.

After all, at the beginning, Moon never thought of guarding against a dog.

I have read a famous book in my hometown that warned people to be careful of dogs around young ladies.
But compared to Moon's helplessness.

Bella was deeply shocked.

It was the first time it saw someone actually challenge the original iron law.

The Eternal King, the King of Sword and Shield, the Shadow Sun.

One man, three kings.

How terrifying!
And even that's just what it knows.

So Bella said again:

"I am surprised to the point of fear, Your Majesty."

Moon smiled bitterly to show his understanding.

Then Morn's eyes flicked to Benalana.

Bella noticed this and said directly:

"She doesn't know, Your Majesty. The secrets hidden in you are not something a mortal should know, so she is completely unaware of this."

"She believed in everything you arranged from the bottom of her heart. Your Majesty, your operation was very sophisticated. If I were not too special, no one would have discovered this."

"Also, there's no need to worry about her hearing and reacting."

As Bella's voice fell, ripples appeared on Miss Benalana's body.

It was obvious that Bella had hidden everything she could hear.

"But I can't guarantee the goddess's side. But with your ability, I'm sure the goddess won't pay attention to this side at all, right?"

"Yes, I told Ansha about this."

Moon likes to talk to smart people because it saves trouble.

This is today
Never mind, a smart dog will do.

Thinking of this, Moon asked Bella very seriously:
"You are of a very high and special status, but you are not God, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I just have a little unique trick. And Your Majesty the Goddess has never thought of paying attention to a dog."

"Uniqueness is no small feat."

Moen's words made Bella fall into silence.

This is the goddess's kingdom. After thinking about it, Mo En could only think of one way to hide it.

And Bella's silence let Moon know that she knew what she wanted to say.

So, what I just said was a polite refusal.

But Moon pretended not to understand.

"You are really smart, Bella. Your name is Bella, right?"

"Yes, your majesty. My name is Bella, it's the name my master gave me. I love it."

"The first president of the Eastern Business Union?"

"To be precise, she is Mr. Morrow's daughter. She is named Benalana, just like this child."

Moon looked at the current Miss Benalana with a little surprise.

After a brief thought, Moon asked:
"Are they similar?"

"There were many times when I thought she really was her, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Moen smiled knowingly and said:

"It seems that Yuanchu still loves us."

"Yes, praise the original, and His love."

After Bella said this, she suddenly changed the subject and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, I must seriously reiterate one thing. The Eastern Business Union is just a purely commercial organization. We will always abide by this."

"Because this is all she left me."

This is the real reason why the Eastern Business Alliance has been able to stick to its original intention for an era.

The human heart is a fundamentally unreliable thing.

However, the one who controls this business empire is not a man, but a dog.

Dogs are much better than humans.

Moen said directly:

"Beishan has just been removed from the list."

Bella said seriously:
"Your Majesty, her last wish is more important than anything else, including my life and this Chamber of Commerce."

Moen waved his hand and smiled:

"That's not what I meant. I told you this just to tell you that everything has changed."

"The me in front of you is the best proof."

Without waiting for Moon to continue, Bella looked at Moon with her wise eyes and said:

"Bei Shang's actions determined that you would definitely take action against them, but you deliberately chose to do this in front of us just to tell me directly that everything has changed."

"A business empire without the full care of gods, no matter how huge it is, is just a joke in front of the Supreme Being." "You know that I am unique, and you know that I should be qualified to become a god."

"You even have a way to make me a god."

"So, you want me to become a god, right?"

Smart dogs are just different.

It said everything Moon wanted to say, and it even knew it a long time ago.

"Yes, I hope you become a god."

Bella sighed. It was clearly a dog, but Moon could see the helplessness and sorrow of a noble lady in it.

"Your Majesty, I know what you mean, and I even know that you know it, but I have clearly said it so many times."

"I won't agree to it. You will never give me this throne for nothing. However, I will not go against her wishes."

The price of the deity is obviously not something a chamber of commerce can afford.

Bella knew well that the ancient king wanted the new god as a staunch ally.

But doing so would certainly go against the fundamental principles of the Eastern Commercial Union - merchants who abide by their duties and remain neutral forever.

As Bella said, this was her last wish, and this point was more important than anything else.

Moen shook his head in disbelief.

"To even give up the Eastern Business Union for this is too stupid, too stupid to describe."

This is indeed stupidity that no intelligent person can understand.

But Bella just said calmly:

"Some people have to do stupid things, your majesty."

After saying this, it laughed:

"Besides, I'm a dog, and it's normal for stupid dogs to behave stupidly."

Moon's face gradually turned serious and cold as he said:

"This is my palace. You don't think you can walk out alive after rejecting my kindness like this, do you?"

This should have been a sentence that froze the atmosphere instantly.

But after hearing this, Bella showed a strange look:

"Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

It was clear that Moon had no intention of doing so. This seemingly most terrifying sentence was not as oppressive as the previous calmness.

Because it repeatedly rejected the kindness of the most ancient king for reasons that normal people could not understand.

Moen suddenly broke down and laughed:

"Because it's cool!"

"Sorry, I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I wanted to find something fun to relax."

Bella said sympathetically:
"I'm sure I can't fully understand your state of mind, but I also know that just by thinking about it, I can understand how much pressure you are under. It's simply despairing."

Ah, to be pitied by a dog.
And there is no room for rebuttal.

After forcing a smile, Moon said seriously:

"That's the end of the joke. Although I'm disappointed that you didn't cooperate, it's precisely because of this that I'm sure that you and your Eastern Business Alliance are indeed the ones I should cooperate with!"

Since we are all willing to do stupid things for the sake of our own persistence, then we can really cooperate.

For the first time, Bella didn't understand:
"Your Majesty, didn't I tell you that?"

"Ah, you said, you said the Eastern Business Association would never violate its own principles."

Moon leaned on the table and said in a voice that seemed to carry magic:

"But what if I say I won't let you go against your principles?"

Bella was just stunned and said:
"This is impossible."

Moon was pleased with Bella's reaction, it was really surprising and satisfying to see that in a dog.

"That's just what you think is impossible. So do you agree?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, are you sure you can do this?"

Bella still couldn't believe it.

It was clear what Morn's presence represented.

That was almost destined to be a world-class nightmare.

And the king must be working hard to avoid this.

In this case, why was he so sure that he would not let a new god who represented a great help from heaven 'watch'?
Moon chuckled and said:
"If I don't do it, or if I intend to make you violate your own principles, then you can just give up on me. After all, if a contract is breached, even the most neutral and responsible businessman has the right to fight back, right?"

That's true, but Bella still reminded:
"Your Majesty, in this case, what we gain may not be proportional to what we pay."

Moen shook his head and said:

"You think I don't get enough."

Bella was silent again. After a long while, she stretched out her claws and said:
"You do live up to every noble evaluation of you in any era."

"And I promise, Your Majesty."

Moon reached out and held Bella's paw with satisfaction.

This was the first time he had made an alliance with a dog, and it felt really subtle.

After a moment, Moon looked at Benalana who was still completely unaware of everything.

After thinking for a moment, Moon still wanted to give a reminder.

Not for profit or fun.

Just out of the kindness of my heart:
"She's not like her."

The original sent the departed king back to the human world.

The same goes for everyone else.

But Bella found it early.

It didn't even look for her, she just came back naturally.

Return in a way that is different from that of a king and in line with the identity of a mortal.

Bella looked suddenly at Moon.

Moon didn't say anything more.

Because more than that, it is not for outsiders to tell, it needs to find out everything by itself.

In this matter, if the answer is not obtained by yourself, it is of no value at all.

After patting his clothes, Moen stood up.

Moen plans to leave.

But before leaving, Moon still looked at Bella curiously.

"Before I leave, I have one more question for you. It's not for any other reason, it's just out of my personal curiosity and selfishness."

"What do you want to ask, Your Majesty?"

“Is your approach a visionary?”

"Your Majesty, you should know that there is no path called Visionary in this world."

That’s right, there are no dreamers and no audiences in this world.

It was just a wonderful fantasy presented in a beautiful work of my hometown.

However, Moon didn't want it to stop there, so he stopped where he was and said to Bella again:

"Can I ask you a favor, Bella?"

"If you can agree to that."

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. It's just my personal expectation."

"Bella, if I'm not mistaken, your path is wealth, right?"

The path to wealth is a colloquial term that has become popular among the public.

Its real scientific name is actually desire.

It was only because of the promotion of a certain eldest son that it was gradually linked to wealth, thereby erasing some of His terrifying abilities and turning Him into a righteous god that could be widely contacted by the world and the public.

Rather than being regarded as the path of evil gods like the plague as before.

It is adjacent to the pure white that represents charm and the glory that represents dominance.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am Sequence One of the Path of Wealth - Gilded Hall."

It doesn't look like a Sequence One title at all, but rather like a place name.

In fact, this is indeed a place name.

Because the turning point from desire to wealth is completed in the gilded hall.

It is said that it was the palace originally given to the eldest son.

Therefore, it possesses supreme power.

To Bella's confusion, Moon said:

"Sequence Zero can re-determine the name of his own path. This is the naming right granted by the Origin."

“So after becoming a god, you can change Sequence Zero’s name to Visionary?”

"Anyway, you will have the ability to turn your fantasy into reality by then."

"If that's the case, of course, Your Majesty. But why?"

Bella had no reason to refute, and Moon smiled and said:

“It’s just my small hope.”

Fantasy Dog, how great!
