261. Hypothetical equilibrium
At the royal council, after King Sworthy told the rest of the royal family of Adam's request, some controversy ensued.
The Titans have ushered in a respite that has not been seen in more than 4,000 years, and the advanced knowledge brought by the visitors from the different planes is bringing rapid changes to the Titan society, and at this time, no one wants to break this situation.
Even if they know better than anyone else in their hearts, this is just the calm before the storm, and once the next war begins, it will be a battle of life and death.
Especially when among their enemies, there is a presence close to the Protoss.
If a Titan had asked for such a scout mission, they would have done their best to prepare for him, but now that Adam had made the request, they couldn't control themselves from thinking too much.
The royal family thought about it from the standpoint of the race, if one Titan was in the rest of the world, if the war between the two races was profitable for the Titans, what would they do?
The answer is clear.
But after all, Adam has done a lot for the Titans, whether he is snooping on the secrets of the body and fire of ordinary Titans, he has brought development to the entire race, and they can't refuse such a request, otherwise it will be easy to cause the whole process to collapse and the fire to self-destruct.
"Can you guarantee it?" King Sworthy said, staring at Adam tightly, "my friend." β
Adam looked at him sincerely and said, "Please rest assured, provoking a war will not do me any good, the interests of the Titans are my interests, and I have no reason to harm it." β
Adam is telling the truth, the existence of the Devourer is not only the sword of Damocles hanging over the Titan's head, but also threatens Adam, without certainty and sufficient preparation, Adam will never be stupid to provoke it to kill itself, unable to connect to the magic net, unable to leave the plane, and now Adam is really fighting alone, without the mage world as a backer to give him a backing.
I don't know how much King Sworthy believed it, but he didn't bother with the question anymore, and asked instead, "What do you want to know about the territory of the Gold Eater?" I think the information obtained by the Titans over the past 4,000 years can already give you enough knowledge about those traitors. β
The Titans' understanding of the Gold Eater is all focused on the combat aspect, such as the combat talent, the characteristics of the attack and defense force field, the distribution of nests on the border line, etc., and the rest do not know anything, after all, they have been suppressed for a long time, and the most they can contact is the border line, and in the deeper territory, what the Gold Eater is doing and what they want to do, they don't know at all.
"Why is it that the Gold Devourer Clan obviously has the power to destroy you, but they are still satisfied with the state of confrontation, as long as the Devourer is willing to take action, IMHO, the forty-seven royal clans together can only be stopped for a while, and the final outcome will not make a difference except for the order of death. β
"You should know better than I do that what you think is a balance is based on assumptions. β
"What do they want? Why are they so obsessed with encroaching on the origin of the Titan plane? Why do they insist on staying in this metal-only plane when they have mastered the way to other planes? I don't think there are many races in the Void that can resist them under the leadership of the Devourer, there must be a reason you don't know yet. β
"These are the things I want to know, and they are the important information that can really affect the strategy and direction of the war. β
King Sworthy was speechless, it was not that they had not thought about these questions, but under the burden of life and death, they did not have the extra energy and ability to seek answers, he sighed and said, "Maybe what you said is right. β
There is another reason why Adam didn't say it, the information captured by the telescope at that time Adam had already translated it, and the few scattered words made him very concerned, if the person who sent this message was the god of Titans, the situation in this plane would be even more confusing than it is now.

"I originally thought that the next time I met you, it would be when you became a top wise man," Iron 27 looked at Adam, who was suspended in front of his eyes, and his figure was not even as tall as his eye sockets, his eyes were complicated, "I didn't expect this to be the case, at that time I didn't believe that you were not a Titan at all." β
"I'm sorry..."
"No, you don't need to be sorry. I believe that you have no ill will towards the Titan, otherwise you wouldn't have needed to kill the mother with us at that time, besides, the changes you brought are very good, the combat effectiveness of the Iron Castle is several times stronger than before, and the clansmen who went out on patrol have not lost for a long time. β
Adam said that he killed his mother because he would not die, and he helped the Titans because it was beneficial to himself, although the result was good, but the purpose was not pure, but he didn't say it, emotional intelligence was about zero when he first got his body, and although it wasn't very high now, at least he would still say a white lie or something.
Qi 31 patted Tie 27 on the shoulder fiercely, and echoed: "That's right, no need to apologize, we are all grateful for all you have done, but don't you really consider recruiting more generals? It's just the two of us, maybe we can't protect you." β
In fact, Adam's choice of companion at the beginning was only Iron 27, his terrifying defense can come in handy, Qi 31 took the initiative to join after knowing about it, Adam couldn't resist him, so he could only agree.
It's not that he doesn't want to bring some more people, it's just that Garfield's spatial ability can only hide the two of them at most, and even Tie 27's current height is not qualified.
"You need to zoom out a little bit. Become as tall as he is. Adam said, pointing to Qi 31 at twenty meters.
"Forty meters is my limit, and if you want to shrink, it depends on your ability. β
Adam nodded and the two of them came to an open area, where he prepared special metal for Iron 27 to ensure that his strength would not be weakened after shrinking, and because of the increased density, his own defense would be stronger.
βββ
A day later, all the materials needed by the two during the mission were in place and stored in the weapon space, at the same time, Garfield pretended to be tired and returned to Adam's side, and after handing over the space anchor to Adam and reporting the destination coordinates, Adam did not give him a chance to continue talking nonsense, and directly deprived the space titan of the control of his body, Garfield's personality was too jumpy, and this mission was very dangerous, Adam couldn't trust him, and the most important hidden work was to let him rest assured that he was in control.
With all preparations in place, Adam and the two of them left the Iron Keep and headed for the interior of the Gold Eater, which had not been entered by Titans for more than four thousand years.
