Chapter 1085: The Neuer Family Talks
"Cindersa?" Lima didn't look surprised when she heard this name, but raised her eyelids slightly, "Patriarch, you...... What do you think? ”
"Lima...... You are a smart man, what do you think is the most fundamental condition for our family to be able to maintain this neutral attitude in the Pale Lair all the time? Lenzer didn't answer Lima's question directly, but asked rhetorically.
"The most fundamental condition?" Lima was a little confused by Lenze's question, but she quickly reacted, "Since the patriarch asked, then I'll make a bold guess...... It is natural for a family to remain neutral in the chaotic struggle of power like us, and not to participate in any entanglement of interests, but when it comes to the most fundamental condition, I think it should still be the power it has, which is what we often call autonomy, right? ”
"That's right, autonomy, only if the family is strong enough and not afraid of any party, can you win such rights...... And our Neuer family has been consolidating the family's soft and hard power for generations, in order to be able to ensure autonomy. Lenzer sighed softly and continued, "But just like the man who appeared in front of you just now, the so-called autonomy of the Neuer family is not worth mentioning in front of him at all, he can take the life of any of us and destroy anything he wants to destroy by jumping through the layers of guards, and frankly, I think he can do it even if he wants the life of the Empress of the Wrath. ”
"This ...... It's impossible! At this time, Selous, who had been silent, suddenly said coldly, "Patriarch, these words are reprimanding our personal guard troops for not doing their job properly?" ”
"I didn't mean that, Selous, on the contrary, the pro-guard troops you led did a good job, and it was because of you that the other families involved in the power struggle did not dare to do anything to us." Lenze didn't get angry because of Selous's words, he just turned his head and looked at him quietly, and said in a sincere tone, "But this person was different just now, and we all know revenge...... Cindertha has made an eternal pact with the goddess of vengeance, Squiook, and has gained the power of the goddess, and this Wenglas was once a servant of Squiook, a servant of a true god, whose existence is beyond our imagination. ”
"IMHO...... Patriarch. At this time, Lima on the side also raised an objection, "Is his identity reliable?" ”
"This is the second time I've seen him, and I don't dare to say if it's reliable." "But you should remember that our ancestors handed down some magic scrolls, and I didn't know what they were for until Xandersa returned to the Pale Lair's vision. ”
"I know that the patriarch is talking about those 'divine power scrolls', and legend has it that the scrolls will only enter the state of being ready to activate when they are close to the person who has divinity, otherwise it is just an ordinary piece of parchment." Lima nodded.
"You're right."
Lunze didn't say anything more, but took out a magic scroll glowing with blue light from his bosom and gently placed it on the table in front of him.
"This ...... It is the evidence of divinity in him. ”
The other two stared at the flickering magic scroll in Lenze's hand, their faces were a little cloudy, and finally it was Lima who broke the deadlock: "It's a definite fact that Wengras has divinity in him, but his strength ...... The Patriarch had just said that it would be easy for him to take the Empress's life, so why didn't he just do it himself, but came to us for help? ”
"First, he may not have sought our help, but simply ordered." Lenze's words were shocking, but the expression on his face did not change at all, "Second, Xandertha no longer has wings, or even a body, and although there is a Nemesis behind her, it is impossible for the people of the Pale Nest to accept a 'monster' as their leader...... Therefore, even if he clears the Empress's power, a second, third, or even more 'Boisel' will be born in the vast Pale Nest. ”
"So in the end, he's just using us as a springboard, as a tool that can assist Zendelsa to become the Empress of Wrath again?" Lima understood the meaning of Lunze's words, but she looked even more melancholy, "But like this...... Patriarch, what if, after the whole thing is over, we fall victim to Cindersa's return to the throne of Heavenly Fury? ”
"I have indeed betrayed the trust of Xiandelsa, and after her death, I maintained the neutrality of my family." There was a hint of sadness in Lenze's words, "But I know her...... Now our family has the only choice to do everything we can to help her, and in that case, maybe we can find her forgiveness and take a place in this coming great change in the Pale Nest. ”
"Patriarch, you are too pessimistic!" Lenzer's pessimistic remarks suddenly made Selous on the other side fall into a state of excitement, "Our Neuer family has a big business, it's a big deal to fight to the death with her, if we join forces with Boisel, even if it is the divine servant just now, it may not be our opponent, right?" ”
"That's a good idea, but if you don't want to have fresh fruit, with Boisel's person, will you join forces with us?" Lunze raised his head and looked at Selous with a cold look in his eyes, "I dare say that she will never treat us as reliable allies, and maybe at a critical time, she will abandon us to choose the best interests...... At that time, it will really be the end of our Neuer family. ”
"But ......"
Selous was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Lenzer raising his hand: "Selous, my old friend, I understand your unwillingness, and so do I...... But this is really a matter of no choice, if our family has an existence like Zagonas, we can really let go of the war, but what capital do we have now? ”
"But I don't understand, Patriarch!" Selous whispered, "Why do we have to give away our fate? Why can't we take control of our own destiny? ”
"Because the strength is not enough." Lenzer lowered his head and spoke softly, "Because we can't stop that Wenglas just now, and we don't have the certainty of destroying him before he kills all of our people...... That's all. ”
