32.The Curse of the Crystal Seat
The woman sleeping peacefully was Rhine's mother, the emperor of the Rhine Empire.
As a mother who gave birth to an Imperial Guard, the Queen has the most noble goddess bloodline in the empire besides the Imperial Guard.
After twenty years of rule, time has not left any trace on her body. Judging from her appearance alone, she can almost call each other sister to Constance next to her.
Rhine has always been full of affection for his mother-emperor.
This is not only because she is the mother who gave birth to Rhine.
And it was even more out of Rhine's admiration for her,
Regardless of her bloodline or ability, Rhine recognized her as a qualified emperor.
Under her leadership, although Heyin has not yet reached the next level of prosperity, its development over the past few decades has been stable and peaceful. Its external methods are gentle and restrained, and internally it has maintained a benevolent government from beginning to end.
The Imperial Guards also got along well with her, as close as sisters.
She is a loyal believer, and she has been fulfilling her duties, replacing her gods, using peaceful means to maintain order in the world.
But unfortunately,
This emperor will pass away in less than two years.
It was not the lung disease that was officially claimed to be killing the queen.
But a curse.
A curse set by hundreds of top mages from all over the world.
The strength of the Hein Empire has undoubtedly made it the target of public criticism throughout the world.
Worship, awe, fear, hatred... Hein's name is branded in the hearts of all mortal civilizations in different colors.
There are countless people and groups hostile to the Hein Empire.
And the Queen of Hein, as the benchmark of the empire, attracted most of the malice.
In this world of high magic, assassinations through curses are very common, and naturally, the corresponding countermeasures have already been perfected.
That day, mages from all over the world joined forces to cast a curse, which penetrated the protection of the goddess's bloodline, causing the queen to almost die suddenly on the spot.
However, on that day,
By analyzing the curse on the Queen, the Empire quickly made a list of the curse's casters.
Regarding this assassination of the emperor,
The Empire showed no mercy.
The Forbidden Army came on the scene, teleported through space, and killed hundreds of top magic masters scattered all over the world overnight. Not only that, in order to warn the mortal countries, the Forbidden Army also carried out attacks on the countries where these mages were located one by one. Brutal revenge.
A spell caster is replaced by a city-destroying forbidden spell.
It was a catastrophe.
At the same time, it was also the largest, most bloody and crazy act of aggression in Hein during the Queen's reign.
One night later, Hein announced that the Queen's curse had been lifted and the incident was over.
But this is not the case.
The Imperial Guard wanted to roughly break the curse by killing the caster.
They almost succeeded.
But while chasing the last mage, they met their match.
Among these spell casters, there was actually a demigod.
An elven demigod.
When the imperial army came to him, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Then, in front of the Forbidden Army, he calmly activated the Forbidden Curse spell that had been prepared, decomposing his own existence and integrating it into the earth forever.
He destroyed himself, but will exist forever.
He will become an immortal anchor, forever damning the Imperial Crystal Seat until the end of the world.
From now on, all the emperors of Haiyin will bear his endless malice. .
Life withers, blood withers, Laita's anger will never be extinguished, until the sinful blood of Crystal God is completely cut off from the mortal world.
When the Queen dies, Rhine, who succeeds to the throne, will inherit this curse.
When Rhine dies, the next Emperor of Rhine will still be cursed.
Nowadays, the queen, who has been tortured by the curse for many years, must spend half of her time every day in the spell treatment of the demigod forbidden army.
And one day,
This curse will also come to Rhine.
"Let your Majesty know for me that I have to go out."
"I see."
The conversation between Rhine and Constance was still brief. After explaining the matter, Rhine left immediately.
.
Leaving the palace, Lain read Hela's name.
Immediately, a space crack opened, and Hela, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared in front of Rhine with a smile.
"Leave now?"
"That's right."
"Then the destination is...?"
"Leta."
"Elves' territory?"
"right."
"Then we can only teleport to the border."
"Um."
"Is this your first time teleporting, Your Highness?"
"Not really."
"That's easy to handle. Come on, please, Your Highness, hold my hand and don't let go."
The space was torn apart again. Hela gently held Rhine's hand and led Rhine into the dark rift.
