Gerald, the Lord of Darkness, is the King of the Root of the Destruction System.

But although he is recognized as the king of roots, his identity is very embarrassing. First of all, he is not a traditional mage, second, he has a bad history of killing lords, and last but not least, he is a demon who only thinks about battle and destruction.

Frankly, except for the demons and the madmen, no sane mage would see him as a leader, but on the other hand, the identity of the Root King and the birth of the demon doomed him to the sworn enemy of the gods. And unlike the ordinary Root Kings, the gods don't even bother to be false with him, and the Root Kings also think that he is unreasonable.

All in all, he's an anomaly on both sides.

Dealing with such a fanatic, for a moment, everyone almost thought that Charlotte, who had proposed the proposal, had been driven crazy by the current predicament.

"Are you crazy?" said Dema, who was thinking about the crowd.

"No, I'm not crazy. In response to the participants' doubts, Charlotte calmly explained the reason, "In fact, everyone knows very well that with our current strength, it is impossible to complete the set task. Even if Claire's reassurance just now was not unfounded, the plan still had to be under his control to be effective. Of course, I don't say this because I fear for my own safety. ”

The latter sentence does not need to be explained. Nancy already had a fair amount of trust in Charlotte, "My suspicion is that even if you say we are not strong, co-opting Gerald will only create another element of instability in the plan. You haven't dealt with the Abyss Legion, and trust me, those Abyss demons have no discipline at all. ”

Suffering from this, Neham nodded approvingly, "Honestly, I don't want to work with demons anymore. ”

When Neam finished speaking, Kethling remembered the past and sneered.

Nancy was referring to the experience of the Annihilation War, but she didn't know that Charlotte and Claire had also fought in that war in the Endless Corridor, so they were sensitive to the madness and indiscipline of the Abyssal Demons.

"I don't think Charlotte meant that. Claire quickly understood Charlotte's thoughts, "Charlotte meant that since the plan was no longer under control, it would be better to introduce greater uncertainties to muddy the situation. In this way, whether it is the gods who have been prepared for a long time, or Victor, who is secretly planning something, will be somewhat caught off guard by the change in the situation. ”

That's what it means. Charlotte nodded in agreement.

"But how can you guarantee that Gerald will target the gods? If he takes aim at us, it will be a joke. "As far as I know, those demon worshippers have been beating you two brothers' ideas. ”

Charlotte was silent for a moment, then replied, "Then communication and covenants are needed. ”

Snort –

Dema sneered in a humiliating manner, "Communicate with Gerald? I think you're crazy." ”

Claire leaned her head on her cheek and muttered, "No! Although Stee's defense mechanism has been loosened recently, in addition to the special mechanisms of the Abyss and the main material realm, Gerald is still sealed by Sylvia-sensei after all. If this is used as a bargaining chip, it is not impossible to conclude a treaty. ”

"Do you want to open the passage between the abyss and the main material world and release Gerald?!" Neham, who was extremely hateful to demons now, was the first to object, he looked at everyone, but found that everyone had a thoughtful look. So, he was furious, "I think you're crazy, do you know how much harm this will do to people!......? No, even countless worlds will be destroyed by that madman!"

"The district clerk has no right to question the attendees!" he didn't say, but this statement immediately annoyed the eccentric Dema, "If something happens to the master, then Icewind Castle or the North Frontier will be fine...... I don't care if the world will be destroyed or not, I just need to save the master from the gods!"

"Chief Dema!Are you serious!?" Seeing Dema's rage, Neham looked at the rest of the participants, "Everyone, as the heads of major organizations, are you so reckless!?Claire!Charlotte!"

"Although this decision is very difficult, Teacher Sylvia is kind to me, no matter how difficult the choice is...... "Claire's eyes wandered rarely, "Besides, if I can rescue Teacher Sylvia, there must be a way to counter Gerald." ”

"And what about before then? Maybe several worlds will be destroyed because of our decision! Can you bear to let hundreds of billions of lives disappear?!"

Claire bowed her head evasively, and Kathling tugged at Nancy's sleeve, seemingly disapproving of the plan.

"It seems that this proposal needs to be considered in the long term. Nancy was silent for a long time and said, "If there is really no other way, it is not too late to discuss this proposal." ”

Dema snorted coldly, but she let out the same long breath as her sister Dinah.

But Charlotte, who initiated the proposal, insisted on going her own way, "I don't agree with you, the so-called 'there is really no other way to discuss it' is just an evasion that does not want to face reality." It is clear to everyone that we are far from strong enough to stand up to the gods. Without the addition of the King of Roots and the support of the Old Gods, it would be wishful thinking for us to enter the Land of the Gods. If we don't make a decision, any of our plans in the future will be just talk!"

His words silenced the attendees, and everyone looked at Charlotte intently, as if they were reacquainting themselves with this gentle man who used to be affectionate, had a bottom line, and would think about strangers.

"Tsk!" said Dema, "you've really grown!"

I don't know if she is more relieved or sarcastic when she grows up watching Charlotte grow up.

Charlotte, who is familiar with her personality, ignored it and continued, "But I don't mean to release Gérald now, but to make a promise with him for a later trade." ”

"What do you mean......," Kathling guessed, "just a promise to him that he would help him break the seal, and then have him send his men to assist us?"

Charlotte nodded, "Not only is it easy for him to send his subordinates, but if necessary, he will also summon his projection or borrow his power in other ways." ”

"That's a good idea. Dinah asked, "But it's too much to be taken for granted! Gerald is unreasonable, but not stupid, and wants him to help us with a promise? ”

"Commitment is certainly not enough. "I'll make a covenant with him so he doesn't worry about me going back on it." ”

"Is this really good?" Claire was a little worried. Make an alliance with the strongest demon like Gerald, and if you want to repent, even your soul will be enslaved by it.

"What's so bad. Charlotte spread her hands, "If we fail, the covenant will naturally be avoided." If it succeeds, there will still be someone to deal with Gerald when I release him. ”

"You name it, Gerald can think of it. "Dema hit the nail on the head.

"yes, he can think of it. Charlotte nodded, "But we all know Gerald more or less, and when he is trapped in the abyss, doesn't he want to have a fair duel with Sister Sylvia, who once sealed him?

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Claire smiled rarely, "You're yours, Charlotte." I agreed to this plan!"

With his approval, the attendees showed their approval. 166 Reading Network
