Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cardin II
Snow shook his head, "If you insist on disagreeing with my proposal, then I will take away my companions who are willing to leave with me, and they have the right to choose their own path in the future. ”
The councillor was silent and waved his hand, he no longer wanted to discuss this issue with Snow.
Seeing the attitude of the Councillor, Snow's heart completely cooled, and he sighed and said, "No matter what happens after tomorrow, in short, thank you for taking care of Connor during the days I am away." ”
......
"I've heard about your proposal to the Councillor. ”
Back in the familiar room, Snow had barely had time to light the candle when he heard footsteps coming from the darkness, heavy riding boots colliding with the floor, and a sturdy boy walked in through the door.
"Wind" is his name, and as his name suggests, his abilities are flight and speed.
Snow ignored the blast and silently packed his bags, packing the notes and magical materials he had collected over the years, exactly like a traveler about to leave home.
"Hey, I said, are you really going to leave the Arctic Mountains?" said Wind, spreading his palms and following behind Snow, "You want to leave behind our fellow comrades and surrender to the human nobles yourself?"
Snow glanced coldly at Blast, paused in the movement of his hand, and said expressionlessly, "Surrender? Abandon? This is what you understand, my proposal?"
"Isn't it?" said Tempest, waving his hands exaggeratedly, "Fearing the assassination and threat of the Right Court, he fled in disgrace and hid under the protection of the human nobles, praying for a way to live?"
Wind's words were harsh, and Snow was not angry because of this, on the contrary, he knew Wind's personality very well, he was just a dumbfounded man with no heart, and he would say whatever came to his mind.
"The Arctic Mountains are no longer habitable for us, and staying here is a dead end. Snow wanted to persuade the wind to leave with him, "When I was in the Empty Crossing Territory, I saw the corpse slave created in the Right Court, although that evil creature is not yet perfect, but the power it shows is enough to shock, although I don't want to admit it, but I still have to tell you......"
"The time when the Dark Council belonged to the Left Court has passed, and for a long time to come, the Right Court will completely clear the obstacles and become the rulers, and we, as the Left Court, will either be killed or succumb to the power of the Right Court and become their slaves. Snow said word by word, as for the form in the Dark Council, he had secretly analyzed it dozens of times, and aside from various external factors, the possibility that the left court could survive the attack of the right court was almost zero.
"Have you forgotten our common oath?" said Tempest, staring into Snow's eyes, "Even if the Right Court wants to kill us, we can resist......"
"Resist?" Snow's tone suddenly raised, and he sneered, "The number of our companions is less than one-tenth of that of the Right Court, and there are no people who are proficient in combat, how many can you stop with the Councillor?"
Tempest had been aggressive and wanted to ask Snow for his crimes, but when he heard the news of Snow returning from the Sky Ferry from his companions, he was furious that Snow proposed to lead his companions to surrender to the human nobles.
Doesn't Snow know the attitude of humans towards the Demon Seed?
"I've never forgotten my vows, I'm not afraid of death, and to be honest, after so many years on the run, I've long forgotten what it's like to be afraid. Snow walked up to Tempest, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "But I don't want to die a senseless death, fighting alone against an enemy who is several times my own, although it looks heroic, but you and I both know that that kind of senseless sacrifice will not bring about a real change." ”
"But now we have in front of us not only the path to death, this is a golden opportunity, a human lord who does not hold prejudice against the demon seed and promises us a position and land. Snow said seriously: "How to choose, you tell me?"
The expression on Wind's face was no longer as aggressive as it had just been, and Snow's words had a great shock to him, and his face changed as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
And Snow is also very nervous at this time, his proposal is certainly very attractive, but the demons have a deep prejudice against humans, if you want to dispel the concerns of your companions, you must have someone to take the lead in responding to him, and there is a leader, then the opposition of the rest of your companions will be weakened a lot.
"Will Councillor agree?" said Tempest after a long silence.
Hearing the words of the wind, Snow breathed a sigh of relief, quietly wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and said, "People, always learn to make their own choices, and be responsible for their own choices. ”
......
The imperial capital, as the center of power in the Tieliu Kingdom, is far more prosperous than Lindongcheng, and as the most high-end palace in the empire, it is closely guarded as the king's bedroom.
The king of the Tieliu Kingdom is a puppet supported by the Holy See, which is well known, but as King Cardin II himself, he does not have too much shame and embarrassment, and even feels a little lucky, he does not have any talent and experience in commanding and managing the country in battle, if it were not for the Holy See planning behind his back, how could he have ascended to this throne and enjoyed the worship of the whole country to this day?
Although he had heard that the cause of the death of his father and several outstanding brothers was probably the black hand of the Holy See, in addition to fear, Cardin II had no anger and desire for revenge at all, and it was much better to be a lackey under the command of the Holy See than to be a prisoner of the Holy See.
The weight of the father and brother is heavier than the throne under the ass?
Hehe......
Cardin II smiled, and everything was silent.
The captain of the guard, Karan, walked in from outside the door and saluted Cardin II respectfully: "Your Majesty, the cardinal priest of the Holy See has arrived. ”
"Come in, please. Cardin II's face flashed with surprise, and his fat body struggled to his feet from his throne and trembled down the steps.
The gate was opened, and a red-clad priest led by the guards walked in along the Shinto, which was built by Cardin II for the clergy of the Holy See, which was under lockdown on weekdays, and even the royal family was not eligible to enter the palace from Shinto.
"Your Majesty!" the red-clothed priest did not bow down like the others, but bowed slightly.
Instead, Cardin II trotted over with great gratitude, and bowed down respectfully and with great effort, and kissed the priest's ring.
