The previous chapter had the wrong name......

Everyone was silent, Memmy raised the silver cup to her lips, but forgot to sip the sweet juice in it, Gülen licked her lips and lowered her head, looking at the coin between her fingers, Berdwin placed his only hand on Carriben's shoulder, and Leona gently lowered the sample of "tobacco" in her hand, the flower was a little withered, and the bright color could still almost match her hair.

They were all waiting for Cremar's response, especially Kerryben, who, according to the Elves' calculations, was probably just a hatchling like the current Cremar, and the Dragonfire Islands had not inflicted physical wounds on him, but had left a deep imprint on his spirit. In the decades since, he has been torn between repentance for his arrogance and contempt, and the two innocent lives he lost at his own hands. It is still haunted to this day. Today, Cremar is under thousands of times more pressure than he had to deal with in the first place—there are 100,000 slaves on the side islands, and most of them are controlled by this abominable potion.

The Elven Ranger was more worried about the other half of the blood flowing in the black-haired spellcaster's body, and from the words that Cremar had inadvertently leaked, he initially thought that Eya's husband was a human, possibly a lord on the Dragonfire Islands, after all, the Dragonfire Islands were not so far from the Emerald Forest Island, and almost all of the lords had a touching good look, but this speculation was quickly overturned by himself, as Cremar mentioned that he had been served by his father's servants in the palace until he was fourteen years old, and also mentioned his "mother" , and the Dragonfire Islands had only slaves and no servants and wives.

Mage Alva had half jokingly and half seriously believed that the other half of Kremar's blood came from dragons, and perhaps the dragons were evil and corrupt, and that they could use the dragon's body to be with their kind. They can also transform into human, humanoid bodies and mingle with other creatures, and they are never subject to gold coins and coats of arms, and they are knowledgeable, talented, strong, handsome, and possess great magical powers, even if they know that they are insatiable, evil dragons, it is difficult for anyone to break free from the sweet net they have set up.

For elves. The other half of the bloodline has become an inconsequential thing, although the bloodline is an important key, but it can open more than one door, which is why the Singh elves are willing to take in other humanoids and children raised by humans and elves, for them, the cubs with half of the elven blood in their bodies are precious Mithril, and the next want to make them into daggers or pins is the work that can only be completed by later education - they firmly believe that in addition to demons, devils, With the exception of dragons and orcs that have spawned from the mire of evil, all humans and humanoids are inherently good, even if the other half of their bloodline may belong to the former.

Kerry's concern was that Cremar's paternal line might be a human. It is quite possible that Cremar had inherited from him the impulsiveness and fragility of humanity - he thought that the kindness of the dark-haired half-elves was commendable, but as a mage who was still a toddler for an elf and a young man for a human, it was hard not to have some thoughts of depression and irritability after such a direct and cold blow. Like those who have crossed paths with the Dragonfire Islands, they have tried to help these slaves for various reasons, but when they are frustrated to find that what they are doing is not only not helping the weaker people they thought they were. Instead, they put themselves in a dilemma - they may not want anything in return, but the result is desperate - the person they want to help is still a "cow horse" or a dead "cow horse". They have neither thoughts nor emotions, but only obey orders and instinctive calls, not understanding how much their master has paid for them.

In the end, these people will almost only go in two directions - One group of people felt that they had been fooled, and they did not hesitate to associate themselves with those whom they once despised and hostile, and regarded the Dragonfire Islands as a good place to be unscrupulous, where even the lowest prostitute or sailor could buy a slave for a few silver coins, and even if they could not leave the islands, they could enjoy the pleasure of life and death for a short time, while the other people became cold and rigid, they did not want to see any slaves or hear anything about them, they did not want to leave their ships, and they only talked to eunuchs or soldiers or mages hired by the lord, and they were even more biased than the formerBecause they are the ones who really see slaves as cattle and horses, and what human being would want to meet cattle and horses, talk to them, or discuss something with them, no, that's what they think, and that's what they do.

The latter are not all wicked, some of them are so cowardly that they are completely unable to face the darkness and evil that are too deep, and when they find themselves truly powerless, they can only close their eyes and plug their ears, and deceive themselves into excluding the slaves of the Dragonfire Islands from the ranks of the human race, so that they may be at peace not to see and hear, or let their hearts tremble terribly in their conscience.

Cremar may not belong to either of these two people, and Kerry was worried that he would go to the third, which is not a mistake, but may lead to a more bitter end - Cremar is a cute child who is soft like a rabbit fur, and the elves of Greyridge think so, but Kerry knows that he also has steel and lava in his body, but it is rarely exposed- All of this was concealed by his good temper and soft eyes, but the Elven Ranger had fought alongside him more than once, and he knew that the child would become unusually cold and cruel when necessary.

Kerry had to be wary of what was hidden in his soul and eventually indulged in the temptation of power - how many lords and knights were lost in this abyss of evil recorded in Wanvelin? They had fought to put an end to the injustices and evils of the world, but when they ascended to the throne and thought they could finally grant their wishes, they looked back at the corpses of their enemies, friends and relatives, and they were left alone and alone to go on - and only because they were already in debt that they could not pay.

Unfortunately, only the devil or the devil awaits at the end, and it is only then that they realize that they may have gone against their original ideals from the beginning.

And now Cremar is so similar to them.

The decisions he makes, no matter how small, will directly affect the entire side island and the humans it carries, whether slaves or free lords, who number more than 100,000 and are a force to be reckoned with anywhere.

The best solution is to make concessions, the key is that Cremar is so young, so young that he has never been so completely defeated, and it is not easy for such a young man to understand the truth that retreating can only be used to charge forward.

But to everyone's surprise and reassurance, Cremar was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Then," he said in a flat tone, "let it continue to grow." ”

He picked up the withering flower and threw it to Dada. (To be continued.) )
