Chapter 567: The First
The Elven Empress pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry I can't answer every question, but I can tell you that sending Lirea to the Hero's Tomb is indeed to prevent Carter Scott from awakening the Hero's Squire." β
"Since you knew about the existence of the Hero Squire early on, and you also knew the exact location, why didn't you choose to wake him up in advance, or destroy him outright?"
"It is risky to destroy," said the Elven Empress, "if he is only asleep, it is tantamount to waking him up early and adding a disastrous enemy to himself; As for awakening him, this kind of thing can't be done by us elves. β
"Why?" I asked, puzzled.
"If you want to awaken the heroic squires of Ari City, you need the bloodline certification of the descendants of the heroes of Ari City."
"Yes, if you are not a descendant of heroes, you can't awaken the heroic squire," the elven queen said, "Moreover, the bloodline required to awaken the heroic squires in different towns is also different. β
"In other words, if you want to awaken the heroic squire of Ari City, you must be a descendant of the heroic bloodline of Eri City, even if you have the bloodline of other heroes, it is absolutely impossible to awaken him, right?"
"Yes."
"By the way, there's one more question I want to ask you."
The Elven Empress nodded.
"Do Hero Squires hurt Hero Descendants? Or is it possible for him to watch the descendants of heroes suffer and ignore it? β
When I asked, I thought of the hero's mausoleum that collapsed into ruins, and with the strength of the second young master alone, he would definitely die, but if Achilles chose to save him......
I didn't think any further, because the Elven Empress had already begun to speak: "If nothing else, the Heroic Squire will definitely choose to protect the Hero's descendants, because they are the most loyal subordinates of the legendary Hero. β
I sneered, "Well, it looks like Cartridge escaped." β
The Elven Empress was silent.
"Well, Your Majesty, I'm done with my question, is there anything else you want to ask me?"
The Elf Empress said: "I want to ask An Xiaoyi, what do you think of this Zephyr 6?" β
βοΌβ I was blinded by this question, and at the same time, I also chuckled in my heart, did she already know that I was not from this world?
The Elven Empress continued: "Don't get me wrong, An Xiaoyi, I just want to know what kind of attitude you have towards this world, or about your current life. β
He pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "It's good, anyway, I think it's pretty good, I eat well, sleep well, and have three fiancΓ©es...... Oh no, it's four, and another one has been added recently, and a bunch of siblings, and in short, I'm pretty satisfied. β
"Have you ever thought about it, what would happen to you if one day, none of these things exist?"
The Elven Empress's words made me uncomfortable, but Cagalli on the side secretly pressed my hand, so I had to be patient and said, "I don't think these will be born, anyway, no matter what kind of disaster becomes, I will try my best to protect my family." β
"But there are disasters that you can't ...... imagine"
Hearing this, I seemed to understand the true intentions of the Elven Empress, so I sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you still don't go around in circles, let's get to the point." β
The Elven Empress smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you have understood, okay, I will ask you directly, if you want to consider establishing an alliance with us to fight against the awakened heroic squire together." β
"Why?" I said, "Why fight him?" Let's not talk about whether it can be fought against, it has only been a few days since Achilles woke up to now, and it seems that he hasn't done anything harmful, so why do you have to try your best to eradicate him? Is it because he's strong? β
The Elven Empress was silent, and Cagalli kept pinching my hand behind her, but none of this stopped me from continuing: "Zephyr 6 is a martial 6, adventurers alone account for nearly one-tenth of all population, so what's wrong with being strong in a world that attaches so much importance to force?" β
"If," said the Elven Empress, "what are you going to do if the strongest person is bewitched and becomes a disaster?" β
I was stunned: "What do you mean by that?" β
The Elven Empress waved her hand, and one of the old women handed over a paperwork.
I took the paperwork, unfolded it, and read it word by word, and the more I read to the back, the colder my heart became.
This is a document that reports the latest developments in Ari City, and it contains something I have never heard ofAchilles, the squire of the legendary hero, who actually slaughtered three large guilds with his own hands!
And these things are actually stated in a praise text sprinkled with hundreds of words, on which there is also a drawing, in the drawing, Achilles holds a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and stomps on the wreckage of the building majestically, on his side, the second young master is smiling, standing quietly aside, and around them, there are corpses all over the field, and at the top of the praise, there is a line of title: Heroic attendants, exterminate the rebels, promote justice, and work hard for the long-term peace and stability of Ari City!
At my side, Cagalli's hands were trembling slightly, not only with excitement, but also with fear, for I also saw that somewhere at the feet of Achilles, the mangled corpse of an orc, was being trampled.
My hands were shaking, and it was anger, utterly, utterly angry.
I admit that I did slaughter many guilds and kill many people, but all of this was premised on the premise that those people did it to me first, wanted to kill me, or intended to harm my family!
However, Achilles, such a powerful and powerful man, actually carried out a brutal massacre of a large adventurer's guild of hundreds of people for the sake of so-called justice, which is simply ......
I didn't know what words to use to describe it, and, in my anger, I asked the Elven Empress tentatively, "What is this......?" Are you sure? β
The Elven Empress nodded: "We elves never lie. β
Taking a deep breath, I asked, "Why are you showing me this?" β
"I want you to understand the current situation."
"And after that?" I said, "What is your purpose?" β
"I hope you can join us in the fight against Achilles."
"Why me?" I asked, staring at the Elven Empress.
"Because you're strong," she said lightly, "Moreover, I need a strong person to join." β
"Zephyr 6 is much stronger than me," I said, "you should go to them." β
"Yes," the empress had a determined glint in her eyes, "but you are the first." β
