Chapter 39: Fukumitsu Island - Disaster

It was already noon.

After writing this paragraph, Su Xinghe slowly stopped writing and went to the lounge to eat and replenish his energy.

By the way, I lay down on the massage chair for a while.

Due to yesterday’s explosion of popularity, his live broadcast room firmly holds the top spot today and no one can shake it.

When I left the contestant's chair, the number had soared from 70,000 to 400,000, and was still rising.

The audience's enthusiasm was extremely high.

because--

It is visible to the naked eye that the story is about to reach its climax.

All the foreshadowing that has been laid before will soon explode in the following plot.

Su Xinghe also understood. After taking a rest, he immediately went back to continue writing.

[Chapter 3: Losing my love forever, looking around in ruins]

"Huh? The Calista episode is over?"

Seeing Su Xinghe's new chapter title, Chen Kaige on the jury exclaimed in surprise, "This title is very interesting. The eight characters before and after are very vivid. It is obviously Viego's dialogue or lines."

Liu Ciping narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out the meaning:
"I have lost my love forever, and everything I see is ruined"

"Is the worst going to happen?"

He couldn't help but recall the horrifying scene of Viego locking himself and Isolde in the tower.

Those cold eyes were filled with hatred and resentment towards the world.

If the world ruthlessly deprives me of my ultimate beauty, destruction is its natural end.
Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Tao meaningfully and said with a smile: "Here comes the finishing touch you wanted."

"The Sword Eagle ship has re-entered the sea."

"On board the ship are Viego, Kalista, Hecarim, Ledros, Nubio, the corpse of Isolde, and dozens of elite soldiers from Kamavia."

"A few days later, the white fog quietly descended."

"It is still so high up in the sky, invisible to the sun."

"But this time, under the guidance of Grayer's roadstone, the Sword Eagle passed through the Holy Mist without any hindrance and arrived at the Helia Pier Harbor."

"It was just after dawn, but the dock was heavily guarded."

"The guards of Helia City, wearing sharp weapons and holding halberds, surrounded the Sword Eagle ship with nervous expressions."

"The masters of the council also hurried over after hearing the news."

""Why are you here, Kamavians? How do you get through the sacred mist?!""

"Elder Batek was furious and shouted from atop a container at the dock."

"The expression on his face was one of fear and anger."

"Hecarim was about to rebuke Bartek for his rude shout, but was pushed aside by Viego."

"Viego, standing at the bow, instantly attracted everyone's attention."

"Kalista began to feel uneasy. She was worried that Viego's mood swings would lead to a conflict between the two sides."

"However, what she was worried about did not happen—"

"On the contrary, Viego, like a humble gentleman, sincerely begged the masters to save his lover's life."

"He even kneeled down and begged, regardless of his dignity as King Kamavia."

"Respected masters! I am here today because your island is famous. I only hope that you can generously help me."

Viego stood at the bow of the ship with his arms open, as if embracing the city of Helia.

He smiled warmly and shouted loudly to the masters.

Seeing this scene, Calista breathed a sigh of relief.

She prayed in her heart that Viego would always maintain this humble attitude.

but.

For Viego's compliments and requests.

The masters on the island turned a deaf ear and did not respond.

Seeing this, Viego stood more respectfully.

Then he bowed his head, knelt on the ground, raised his hands and prayed:

"Kamavia is a great country that has lasted for thousands of years. Its kings have been wise and brave, and have never bowed their heads or bent their knees to others. Today, I bow my head and pray, no longer as a king, but as an ordinary person - I beg you to save my beloved wife Isolde."

"My beloved is poisoned and in critical condition! I beg you to save her life! I swear to the spirits of my ancestors: If you can save her from danger, we will leave immediately and never return to this place."

"As God is my witness, may you all have mercy on my beloved queen, who has suffered innocently!"

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room felt mixed emotions.

"So, how much do you love her? You would be so reckless that you would even abandon the dignity of a king."

"I can see that in Viego's eyes, there is only Isolde. Without her, the whole world has become dim."

"I feel that his character is too complicated, hateful and pathetic, but from time to time there are some heartbreaking scenes."

"Yes, he is always so unpredictable. Perhaps it is this changeable temperament that gives him a special charm."

"A true pure love warrior, he still refuses to give up even after all this, what a deep obsession and love."

"For Viego's sudden kneeling."

"Kalista's face suddenly changed, Hecarim was shocked and furious, and the common soldiers were all shocked and looked at each other."

"And the masters, masters, and students of Hailia City were all surprised and whispered to each other."

"At this moment, a shout rang out from the crowd."

"Have mercy and help him!"

"Kalista recognized it. It was the voice of Shindakaya."

"So, under her leadership, more people joined in the support and prayed for the masters to lend a helping hand."

"Finally, another master stepped forward."

"Your Majesty, King Kamavia, I am Archbishop Margusa. Your humility and sincerity are impressive. Please stand up. No one needs to kneel in Helia, let alone the king of a country."

"Master Margusa has promised that she will convene a council to discuss countermeasures and will give a reply before noon."

"However, she asked Viego and the others to wait on the boat and not to go to the island until they have reached a conclusion."

"Viego readily agreed."

"Callista wants to go back to her room and rest for a while while we wait for news from the council."

"But she didn't expect that Hecarim and Nunnio were waiting for her in the room."

"They want to have a conversation with her."

"Nunio said we must prepare for the worst in case something unexpected happens."

"He was worried that after getting the answer, Viego would still refuse to accept the reality and become furious and lose his mind."

"By then, he will no longer be able to govern."

"The entire Kamavia will be leaderless, declining, and eventually disappearing into the long river of history."

"So, in order to be prepared for any eventuality, their proposal is to let Callista take charge of Kamavia."

"Hecarim completely agrees with this."

"You are the heir to the throne. The common people are loyal to you, and the common people also support and love you very much."

"Besides, you have the support of the Iron Group."

"It was unexpected."

"Kalista was very cool about this proposal."

"She said she didn't want to sit on the Silver Throne, and she didn't want to be a usurper and traitor."

"Moreover, she firmly believes that Viego will recover as before."

"Hecarim continued to persuade. He quietly approached Kalista and tried to hold her hand."

"When the time comes, I will stay by your side as your husband and fully support you in governing the country."

"Kalista dodged his outstretched hand."

"She sensed that something was wrong with Hecarim's tone."

"His attitude is too sincere, more like a false pretense."

"She stared at him like a stranger."

"She saw in his eyes the hunger that he tried hard to hide but couldn't."

"She had seen this hunger before, but she didn't pay attention."

"At the time, she thought it was just ambition."

"But now, she finally realized that Hecarim's ambitions were beyond her imagination."

"Why is he in such a hurry to marry me? Why does he want to dismiss Viego?"

"The answer is obvious—"

"He wants to get his hands on the Silver Throne."

"Faced with such accusations, Hecarim flew into a rage."

"He thought she was as unreasonable as the mad king."

"At this moment, Kalista finally saw Hecarim's true face."

"So he announced on the spot that he was breaking off the engagement, summoned the soldiers of the Shu army, arrested him and locked him up in the cabin."

"After this incident, Kalista was finally able to face her own heart."

"She thought a lot and finally figured out who she really liked."

"She came to the deck of the ship, walked slowly over, stood beside Lytus, who was guarding the king, and whispered in his ear."

"I have been a fool. We can talk about this after this is over."

"Feeling the tenderness in Callista's words, Lexus immediately became so nervous that his breathing became rapid and his face turned red like a shy child."

"Kalista couldn't help but smile."

"Okay! That's how it should be written. It's enough to have Viego as a lovelorn person. How can we also play the regret and tragedy of love on Sister Ka?"

"I support the CP of Sister Ka and Levitra. Hecarim, go!"

"Xiao Hezi, why are you still so angry? Now you've exposed your chicken feet, right?"

"Zhendakaya, I'll remember this, you're such a good man!"

"Master Malgusa seems to be a good person. I used to think that all masters were hard-hearted."

"."

After this paragraph was written, the audience was immediately freed from their complex emotions towards Viego.

Seeing that Kalista had seen through Hecarim's true face, she decisively broke off the engagement with him and expressed her feelings to Levos.

They clapped their hands and danced with excitement.

"The Helia Council has made the final decision."

"They invited the best physician in Helia, a skilled practitioner who is proficient in external healing and arcane medicine, and an expert in Gu."

"Master Margusa said they will do everything they can to treat the queen."

"Viego cheered and cordially invited them to board the deck of the Sword Eagle."

"Everyone came to the royal palanquin where the queen was."

"In order not to disturb Isolde, Viego asked them to let only one person in at a time."

"Malgusa agreed."

"However."

"Just after the first robed doctor entered the clinic, an unexpected event occurred."

The curtains were thrown aside angrily, and the doctor walked out in a rage.

"Is this a perverted joke of Kamavia?" He shouted angrily behind him, taking off his glasses with trembling fingers, "She is dead, my God! And she has been dead for a long time!"

"Dead?" Elder Batek exclaimed, his face horrified. "What do you mean?"

Archbishop Marcusa looked as pale as paper and asked in a low voice, “Are you sure?”

Callista understood their anger.

But Malgusa's expression looked almost horrified.

Is she afraid that they can’t save the queen and Viego might seek revenge?

Or is there another hidden story?

"Ah, it is quite true; see for yourself!"

The doctor will pull back the curtain and show what's inside.

Viego knelt beside the bed, holding the cold, slender hand of the queen's corpse tightly.

shocking!

Even from a distance, everyone could see that she was a dead body.

Despite being surrounded by the magical light of Saint Michael, her skin had turned into a dull earthy gray, and her flesh had shrunk, tightly wrapped around her skeleton.

Callista's face was filled with sorrow, and her eyes fell on a rag doll with empty eyes beside her pillow. What did Isolde call her?
Gwen?

Viego was seen stroking Isolde's hand and whispering to Gwen, as if she was Isolde.

When the people of Hailia saw this scene, they all gasped and fear began to spread in their hearts.

Kalista quickly stepped forward and drew the curtain, trying to hide the horrifying scene.

But it's of no avail.

Viego's morbidity and idiocy have been completely exposed to everyone.

"Hiss! This scene makes my spine go cold and my hair stand on end!"

"Things are getting worse and worse."

"I'm getting nervous. Do you think Viego will transfer his hatred to the masters of the parliament?"

"If he can't save Isolde, he'll probably do anything."

"Under Malgusa's horrified questioning, and Tyrus's confusion."

"Kalista can only tell the truth."

"She said: The purpose of their trip is to use the mouths of the masters to make Viego accept the truth that Isolde is dead."

"So, Marcusa had all the doctors announce in public that Isolde had already died."

"But Viego still caressed Isolde's hand, whispered softly to her, and was unwilling to leave."

"Faced with the masters' order to expel us, Kalista said that their king needed to be mourned and she would persuade him to leave."

"The masters had no other options, so they could only temporarily take their entourage away and instruct them to return the roadstones before returning."

"Kalista guarantees it."

"Hailia's team of masters left, but one person remained on the ship."

"It's the Guworm expert."

He had a grim face, a hood covering his face, a cane shaped like a crescent shovel, a short and strong figure, and a bottle of clear liquid hanging around his neck.

The portrait is a gravedigger.

Kalista heard from Master Malgusa that he was from the Twilight Brotherhood and was well versed in the subtle boundaries between life and death, with few equals in the world.

"She is very calm."

“Beyond the pain, beyond the struggle.”

He stood not far behind Viego, as if listening to something that no one else could hear, stumbling over and speaking strange words in Kamavia.

"She is in the light."

“Or rather, she is the light.”

"She also said she missed someone."

"Gwen? Is that right?"

"Her best friend, or sister?"

Hearing the words of the man in black robe, Kalista was immediately shocked and felt her hair stand on end.

Can you really communicate with the dead?
Who is this person?

And these words successfully attracted Viego.

He finally turned his gaze away from Isolde and looked up at the black-robed man, his face a mixture of grief, surprise and panic.

"So, she's really gone?"

The man in black robe nodded slowly and smiled with sympathy.

"Rest in peace."

Viego buried his face in his hands and began to sob.

Finally, he began to mourn his lost wife.

"Fuck, who is this guy? He's so cool! He speaks so coolly."

"He is well versed in the subtle boundary between life and death. He is the legendary ferryman of the dead?"

"Gravedigger, Twilight Brotherhood, and some more details. I've written them down in my little notebook."

"It's incredible that Viego let go of his obsession with just a few words."

"Perhaps Viego believed him after hearing him say Gwen's name."

"Ah? That's not right. If you look at it this way, the story ends here?"

"Su Dada is still writing, why not continue reading."

"Everything is going well. Viego has finally accepted Isolde's departure."

"So, under the command of Callista, the crew began to get busy and prepare to return."

"However, just as we were about to set sail."

"But Kalista saw a thin figure hurrying over to the dock."

"When she saw the person coming, she felt something was wrong."

"It is the Thresh Warden—Erlok Greyr."

"Before the ship set sail, she quietly jumped onto the shore, told him that they were about to return home, and dissuaded him from leaving quickly."

"But Grayer said he wanted to speak to His Majesty the King."

"Kalista's expression was solemn. She knew that this person had a dark heart."

"You're rushing here to see Viego now. I'm afraid you have some bad intentions."

"So she refused sternly and refused to give in at all."

"Greyer rebuked her for her dishonesty."

"In anger, he suddenly jumped up and shouted at the Sword Eagle ship."

"I want to talk to His Majesty the King. It's a matter of life and death! !"

"Viego was startled and came out of the cabin to the deck."

"Seeing the strange man on the dock, he asked Kalista and learned that this man was the climber who brought the roadstone and the water of life."

Grell shouted coldly: "The masters lied, but I know the truth."

"What truth?"

"There is a way to save the queen. Even if she is already dead, as long as she is placed in the Wanzai Well and immersed in the water of life, she will be resurrected."

"Are you serious about what you said?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

"Absolutely true!"

"Viego stared at the thin man, and for a moment, his wishful thinking was rekindled in the darkness."

"Seeing this, a strong feeling of suffocation instantly wrapped Kalista tightly."

"At this moment, she only felt endless despair."

"How to do?"

Grayer grinned and pointed to the most majestic tower in the center of Helia.

"The bottom of the tower is the Wanzai Well. You just need to bring the queen to the well. I guarantee that she will come back to you."

"lead the way!!"

"Just as I expected, there is a twist!"

"I give in to this old idiot!"

"Here comes the key figure to muddy the waters. Remember him, Thresh Warden-Erlock Greyr."

"I knew he was not a good person!"

"It should have just ended like this, but why did you have to create more trouble?"

"Don't forget, the final outcome is tragic. Also, think about the words of the prophet Sokara."

"I feel like things are still not that simple, and there are still many clues that have not been revealed."

Seeing this, the four judges also lost their composure.

"I am increasingly confused by this Su Xinghe."

Chen Kaige frowned deeply. Should he continue writing?

Do you really intend to write about the two sides going to war against each other?

"I think everything is within his plan." Liu Ciping explained, "Otherwise, why would he spend so much time and effort to portray Greyer as a supporting character?"

"If you think about it carefully, he can string all the details together and make them play an important role in the plot."

Hearing this, Chen Kaige began to think carefully.

After a moment, he glanced at Su Xinghe on the stage and was secretly shocked.

What a terrible layout ability.

Not only can he imagine a grand view of the universe, but he can also grasp the details perfectly.

Where on earth did the innate story holy body come from?

At this time, Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled and said:
"As long as he can stay on topic and keep writing, there won't be any big problems."

"After all, a good story naturally has ups and downs in the plot."

"Even though Calista tried to dissuade him, Viego refused to budge."

"Under Gray's sinister smile."

"He carried Isolde's body and walked towards the city step by step."

"The common soldiers on the ship were all stunned, not knowing what to do."

"Even though Kalista was struggling internally, she could do nothing about it."

"Fiego is the king of Kamavia after all, and she must do her duty to protect him."

"So, she ordered dozens of common soldiers to form a circle and protect Viego in the middle."

"Under the leadership of Grayer, the group marched towards the Shimmering Tower."

"until--"

"Halfway along the way, in front of a section of light-colored marble leading up to a higher place."

"They were stopped by a group of masters and guards."

"Master Malgusa is among them. The previous kindness is gone."

"Tyrus is among them. He is extremely disappointed with Kalista."

"Kalista felt so guilty that she couldn't even look him in the eye."

"The farce ends here! We have already said that the queen is beyond redemption, and this place is meaningless to you! Return to the ship immediately, leave the Blessed Island, and never come back again!"

Malgusa's voice was angry and cold.

"Let me through!" Viego growled, "I want to take my wife to Wanzai Well!"

"When the masters heard the name 'Wanzaijing', they were all shocked."

"They naturally know what the disclosure of this secret place means."

Malgusa narrowed his eyes and looked at Kalista: "You are indeed a spy sent to explore the way! If we had known this would happen, we should not have let you set foot on the Blessed Island."

Kalista was immediately ashamed and her face was burning. She was unable to explain: "That's not the case. You misunderstood."

But how could Marcusa believe her again?

"The last time you came, we rejected you because we found someone breaking into Wanzai Well, and some people in the council suspected that you were involved."

"I have disputed this and believe you are innocent."

"It seems that you deceived me."

In this regard, Kalista was just confused, she really had never been to Wanzai Well.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, not knowing how to explain.

But the current situation is indeed caused by her.

Margusa looked at Grayer beside Viego again: "Dead Corpse Man? It turns out that you are colluding with the people on the island!"

"You self-righteous vicious woman! You laugh at me as a dying corpse, but many years ago, it was you who brought me to this point." Greyer laughed at himself.

Tyrus stood up and said, "Erlok Grey, you are a fool who deceives yourself. I was really stupid to feel sympathy for you."

A sneer appeared on Grayer's face. "Haha, where I am today is all because of you. You are to blame for everything that happened now!"

Margusa didn't want to listen to these useless arguments anymore. She looked at Viego and Callista and said, "You know nothing about the power of Wanzai Well. You have no idea what the consequences of doing this will be."

Greer yelled, "She's lying, they just want to keep the water of life for themselves."

Viego's eyes were burning with anger. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "Let me pass."

Calista's heart suddenly tightened, she knew that Viego was about to lose control.

"Every word I said is true. For the safety of the people of Hailia, I am willing to sacrifice my life." Margusa was firm.

Viego suddenly calmed down, and turned to look at Kalista:

"Okay, kill them then."
