Chapter 621: Central Plaza, Regicide of the Iron-Blooded King

“Why did our previous king, Reynolds Eldoria, hand over his throne?”

“Isn’t he infatuated with the feeling of a king?”

“Isn’t he infatuated with the temptation of power?”

Three consecutive questions caused the tavern owner to fall silent.

The tavern owner stroked his beard and peeked around sneakily.

After confirming that there were no guards around, the tavern owner let out a sigh of relief and gestured for the drunkard to come closer.

“Come here, come here. If this kind of discussion about politics is heard, if you inform the guards, you will be beheaded!”

The tavern owner said in a low voice.

“Oh?”

The drunkard’s interest was immediately piqued, and he moved his ear closer.

“Because our previous king, the Iron-Blooded King Reynolds Eldoria, is more obsessed with one thing other than power.”

The tavern owner whispered into the drunkard’s ear.

“What?”

The drunkard listened attentively.

“Might, unrivaled might!”

The tavern owner’s words shocked the drunkard’s nerves.

“Might?”

“That’s right!”

The tavern owner said with certainty.

“Supposedly, before the Iron-Blooded King came to power, the underground city was in an extremely low state. Not to mention demigods, not even a single deity-level expert had appeared. The residents of the underground city lived in misery every day!”

The tavern owner’s words caused the drunkard’s mouth to widen.

“Ah?”

The drunkard said in shock.

“Why do you say that?”

“That’s because the residents of the underground city, the city-state of the underground city, had no way to defend against the attacks of magical beasts!”

“Magical beasts such as the wolves, vengeful bears, crying leopards…”

“These magical beasts invade our underground city every day. Our city-state had no way of protecting its own residents!”

“The previous king even came forward to discuss with these magical beasts. He decided that every once in a while, he would sacrifice a fixed number of victims to fill the stomachs of these magical beasts, in exchange for the safety of the residents of the underground city!”

“This…”

Hearing the story of the tavern owner, the drunkard was suddenly shocked. Such a miserable scene made it difficult to connect the prosperous and safe underground city to the past.

“Are you really not lying to me?”

The old drunkard looked at the tavern owner in front of him suspiciously.

“Oh, I’m not lying to you. It was really a dark era at that time. At that time, because of the continuous decline of the old king, the magical beasts at that time became more and more ambitious and their demands became more and more excessive…”

“At first, they only wanted the meat of young men and women. Later, not only did the number gradually increase, but they also began to demand children who had just reached the full moon!”

“Children who had only been born for a month. The magical beasts said that the meat was extremely delicious. It was tender and smooth. Hearing this request, the old king was muddle-headed. He actually agreed to it. He brought the guards around and knocked on the door. He forcefully took away the children of the commoners and offered them to the magical beasts!”

“At that time, Reynolds Eldoria was still a young man. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He witnessed the brutality of the officers and soldiers with his own eyes. He took out his own shovel from the courtyard of the farmhouse and killed the guards who came to their village to collect babies with one shovel!”

“This is not the end. The brave young Reynolds Eldoria even led the villagers to resist the guards. After chasing the guards out of the village, he also led the villagers to train their bodies and chase away the guards who came to take revenge!”

As the owner of the tavern spoke, he felt thirsty. He took out the wine jug at his waist, opened the cork, and took a big gulp of strong wine!

“Phew! This is satisfying!”

The old drunkard looked at the wine bag of the owner and felt a craving. He swallowed his saliva but he still suppressed his desire to drink.

Compared to the wine, he wanted to know the story behind the king more.

“What happened after that? What happened after that?”

The old drunkard swallowed his saliva and asked.

“What happened after that? That would make one’s blood boil!”

The tavern owner said excitedly.

“Young Reynolds Eldoria led the peasants who were bullied by the ignorant old king to form an army to fight against the magical beasts. They defended the safety of the village on their own and refused to offer human sacrifices to the old king!”

“Oh!”

The old drunkard let out a breath in surprise.

“The ignorant old king was instructed by the magical beasts not to follow young Reynolds Eldoria to fight against the magical beasts, but to lead the guards to wipe out young Reynolds Eldoria, who was openly fighting against the imperial power!”

“And then? And then?”

Under the old drunkard’s expectant gaze, the tavern owner took a sip of wine and moistened his throat before continuing.

“After that, young Reynolds Eldoria endured it again and again. He couldn’t endure it anymore. The young Reynolds, who clearly understood the old king’s stupidity, led his own army and engaged in an intense battle with the guards. In the end, they directly attacked the imperial city and pulled the old king down from his throne, took off his crown, and beheaded him in the central square!”

The owner of the tavern excitedly recounted the history.

“After that, young Reynolds Eldoria was crowned by all the peasants, becoming the new king of the underground city!”

“This younger Reynolds Eldoria is incredible. His governing methods were swift and decisive and he, who advocated martial arts, directly launched a protracted war against the magical beasts!”

“The citizens all practice martial arts as well. Everyone has the responsibility to fight against the magical beasts.”

“Under the leadership of young Reynolds Eldoria the imperial city has become a powerful and mighty city-state. And he himself is also known as the Iron-Blooded King by the citizens!”

“The Iron-Blooded King led everyone to defeat the various magical beast tribes. He beat them until they no longer dared to invade the human territory. That dark era had completely passed.”

As the tavern owner spoke, he took a sip of wine and sighed.

“What a great king…”

The old drunkard also sighed.

“Then, why did the Iron-Blooded King, Reynolds Eldoria, abdicate?”

The old drunkard was still very puzzled.

“Idiot!”

The tavern owner looked at the drunkard with disdain.

“What an idiot. As I said before, the Iron-Blooded King worships force and requires a great deal of energy to govern the affairs of the nation, which is why he immediately abdicated!”

“Reynolds Eldoria gave his throne to Leighton Eldoria. In other words, his son. As for him, he found a secluded place and went into closed-door training.”

“Supposedly, Reynolds Eldoria power, before entering seclusion, had already reached the terrifying peak of the demigod level. I wonder what sort of existence he will be when he reappears in front of the world!”
