Chapter 44: Choice
After the conversation, Xiut and the others were imprisoned in a remote courtyard in the palace, and 20 demon network walkers were arranged to monitor them day and night.
Settle down slightly in the annex.
Hut was complained of by his wife Elias:
"Xiut, I told you not to say so much, why didn't you listen? We would have only had to stay in a dark place for about 10 years at most, and now it's okay, you've messed everything up!"
His wife's words made Xiut bow his head: "I ...... How do I know, how can you suddenly have our children in your belly? It's been ten years since we got married, and I've long since given up the fantasy of being a father. ”
Xiut's wife Elias, and he has been in the rivers and lakes for nearly 20 years, has suffered a very serious injury, unfortunately lost fertility, the doctor diagnosed that there is no possibility of pregnancy, desperate Illyath has begged Xiut to leave her countless times, but the man she loves, how can she be hurt again?
Having a happy Dink family, there is nothing dissatisfying about Schut, he feels very perfect.
But unexpectedly, Illyath still gave him an unexpected ...... Scare.
"Illiath, when did this happen, why didn't you tell me earlier?" said Shut helplessly.
"Last month I thought I might have, but I'm not sure, I'm going to observe for a while and surprise you, but you're ......"
Illyath shook her head, "You're really ...... today Stupid to home. ”
"I ...... I ......"
Xiut patted his head in annoyance, "How did I know things would turn out like this?!"
Misguided.
Schut now realizes that he has completely made a mistake!
The reason why he dared to boldly put forward all his guesses just now was actually that he was also gambling!
One, betting on His Majesty the Emperor Noctis, is the target they are looking for!
He succeeded in this step, and the emperor calmly told him that his guess was right.
The second is to bet that this young emperor has the ability to help others connect to the magic net, so as to explain where the hundreds of "magic net walkers" came from.
He was right on this step.
The third step is to bet on the ambitions and dreams of this young emperor, which must be very large...... With an empire and no less than 100 Demon Netwalkers, he must have a desire to change the world.
He made the right bet again!
The next development of things will definitely enter the rhythm designed by Xiute.
The fourth step for Shut to do was to tell the young emperor that his ideas were great, that his talent was amazing, and that he would definitely become a great emperor...... After some compliments, the switch to "but" begins.
But what?
However, the strength of the Blue Guild is very, very huge, and it can mobilize the power of more than tens of thousands of times the power of the Orunian Empire, and defeat His Majesty the Emperor very easily.
Considering that Noctis was only 15 years old and couldn't listen to his persuasive words, Xiut also organized more polite and subtle language, citing some less stimulating examples, so that the young emperor in front of him could see how powerful the object he wanted to challenge was.
In short, as long as he enters the rhythm of Xiut, Xiut has a way to make the young emperor Noctis willing to listen to him, accept the meaning of his expression, understand the difficulty of challenging the project, and finally give up some plans in his mind.
Then the Xiut Society suggested that Noctis adjust his plan and join the "Blue Hand" union, and with His Majesty's ability and talent, he would definitely make some name for himself in the union, which was impressive.
The union will also give him a lot of opportunities to display his talents and stand in higher and higher positions...... and even become the highest manager of the magic network.
Anyway, as long as Noctis joins the Blue Hand, his dream will be just as real, if not easier.
However, after only the third step of his thoughts, he came to an abrupt end, and instead received the news that he did not know whether it was surprise or joy, and was cut off from the strings of his soul, losing almost all of his strength, and falling into greater passivity.
Only then did Hut realize that he seemed to have entered the rhythm of the young emperor, playing all his hole cards, and could no longer bargain.
"What should I do, Illiath? What should we do?" Schutt scratched his head in pain, his heart already completely confused.
"Wait, wait patiently, we're already people on the chopping block. Illyath said with a blank face.
"I'm still young, and I don't want to die so early anyway. Atran said.
"I heard that the end of betraying the union will be miserable, and you can't escape the pursuit!" said Pickle, who had realized something, with a look of despair.
……
Three days later.
Zhou Ming walked into this set of courtyards and saw Xiute and the others.
The first thing I said was, "How about it? Have you thought about it?" It's been three days, and I guess you're going to be prepared, and I'd like to ask you: Can you just give me a reply that I want to hear, so as not to waste too much of your time. ”
"Your Majesty, I still hope that you will give me a chance to finish my sentence...... Just give me a quarter of an hour. ”
Xiute walked up to Zhou Ming, bent down and saluted.
"Do you want to say that the Blue Hand is very strong, and persuade me to give up my plan to go against them, or even join the Blue Hand, become one of you, and climb up from the bottom, but with my talent, I will definitely achieve something in the end and embrace a successful future?" Zhou Ming said directly.
"This ...... Your Majesty, you ......"
Hut froze, Noctis could have guessed what he wanted to say?
"Swallow the words in your stomach, I know everything you want to say, I know the strength of the blue hand, everything you know, there is nothing I don't know. ”
Zhou Ming said: "And now, what I want to know is: Did the four of you make a choice and make a right choice?"
Hearing this, Xiut and the others were silent for a while.
After a long time, he spoke: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we haven't thought about it yet. ”
"That's good!"
Zhou Ming nodded: "I'll make it clearer, there are only two options in front of you: surrender, or death, choose one of the two, of course I know that this choice is difficult to make, so ...... Three days, I'll give you another three days to think about it. ”
"Three days later, tell me your answers...... I won't let you hesitate and discuss, wasting too much time. ”
"I'll see you in three days. ”
After speaking, Zhou Ming waved his hand and left this set of courtyards.
