Chapter 291: Nether's Aid
"Dragons? I had heard of it from my father's mouth, but I had not seen it with my own eyes.'" Hearing Atvance mention the dragons, Monasse also became a little interested, "But I'm still a little curious, why did you suddenly come here, if it's convenient, you might as well tell me what you did before."
"It's a shame to say what I've been through." Artevans laughed dryly, but he didn't mean to avoid it, so he continued, "Before, I went to the southern continent of Ostia through some means, and you should know about the southern continent, which is known as a remote place."
"Then, I planned to conquer the humans of the Southern Continent, so I made some plans and succeeded in taking control of the west. However, in an attack on a human city-state called Phochers in the center, I failed. The strength of the humans there was beyond my expectations and an eye-opener for me. The price was that Kaina and Rusa were so damaged that they couldn't participate in any battles for a while, and although Liel was fine, I gave her a rest."
"In order to gain sufficient combat power to attack the city of Phochers again, I wanted to fight a dozen dragons, but considering that I don't know anything about the strength of the dragons, and I don't have any available manpower at the moment, I thought of you."
"I promised Kaina that the conquest of the Southern Continent can't drag the entire demon clan into it, so if you can, I hope you can provide some assistance. Of course, I also figured out what you would get when it was done. How, are you interested?'
With that, Artevans grabbed the snack in front of him, ate it in one gulp, and took another sip of tea, waiting for Monasse's reply.
As for why he didn't directly ask for the help of the Netherworld to attack the city of Phetches, it was because of Artfans' ambitions. If he succeeds in breaching the city of Phochers with the assistance of the Netherworld, then he must give some of the resources to the Netherworld as a reward, but he is not willing to share the resources of the human territory in the southern continent with him.
However, the dragon clan is different, this was not actually within the scope of Artfans' consideration, his initial plan was to conquer the humans of the southern continent first, and then make the decision whether to fight the dragon clan.
Artevans said so much, Monasse understood, and he also guessed the reason why Artvance didn't directly offer to let him assist in the attack on Phocchess City.
Monasse thought for a moment and responded, "So, can you let me know what I can get?" Of course, it would be nice to be able to reveal a little bit about your plans, as far as you can.'"
Artevans had long expected Monasse to say this, so he smiled and immediately said, "There is a contradiction between the two major races of the dragon clan, the Holy Dragon and the Dark Dragon, and I plan to control the Dark Dragon and destroy the Holy Dragon. If you can help, after the matter is completed, I don't want any of the resources of the Holy Dragon, I will give them all."
"I think you can think about it, although you have never left the underworld, you must have heard that in this world, dragons are the most powerful alien beasts, they have amazing energy, and their body parts can also be used as raw materials for certain things, which is a huge resource."
As he spoke, Artevans took another empty cup from the side of the table, poured a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of Monasse, a subtle smile on his face.
Looking at the cup of tea pushed in front of him, Monasse fell into deep thought, he was weighing the pros and cons.
Monasse still heard about what Artevans had done a hundred years ago and in the past hundred years, and he knew that Artevans was not a pure-blooded demon, and he also knew that Artevans had some complicated relationships with the Divine Heirs.
Although he has never left the underworld, Monasse still knows a lot about this world, after all, in order to have the capital to become the emperor of the underworld, he has read all the books in the great library of the Netherworld, and can even memorize them, including everything recorded by the ancestors of the Netherworld when they once understood this world.
Monasse knew that Artevans wasn't lying, but he also knew that Artevans had avoided one thing, and that was about the Divine Heirs.
As for the current archbishop of the Divine Heir Clan, Taria, Artevans once introduced Monasse, and Monasse also learned about the conflict between Talia and Atlasia, and it should even be said that it was hatred.
Monasse had a hunch that sooner or later, what Artevans was doing in the Southern Continent would be discovered by the Divine Heirs, and if he helped Atfans, then the Divine Heirs would also point the finger at him. Letting the Netherworld fall into such a war is not what Monasse wants, not to mention that Monasse thinks that the strength of the Netherworld will definitely not be the opponent of the God Heir Clan.
Probably seeing Monasse's thoughts, Artevans said, "That's why I came to you alone today, as I said, it's not a matter of the entire demon race, nor is it about the Netherworld, but my private matter. Therefore, you don't need to think that if you help me, you will be involved with the people of the Netherworld. As for whether this action will be discovered by the Divine Heirs, even if Talia does find out, she can only do it to us, she can't help the demons, and she can't help the Netherworld, can she?"
What Artevans said is actually reasonable, as long as Monasse uses his own name to assist Artevans and does not involve the Netherworld, even if he really lets the Divine Heir Clan find out, it will not be a big deal.
As early as a hundred years ago, after the entire Divine Heir Clan left the Main Realm for the Divine Domain, out of caution, Artevans immediately sealed the natural entrance to the Underworld. Jumping off that cliff will never teleport to the Hellworld again, unless Artevans allows them to enter.
In order to go from the underworld to the main realm, you must first pass through the Underworld, and go to the main realm through a portal somewhere in the neutral place of Yelan in the Underworld. If you want to travel directly from the Netherworld to the Overworld, you must use the Nether's ancient teleportation spell. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the underworld is now almost impossible to discover by other races except the demons.
However, when Artevans said this, he also let Monasse know what Artevans was thinking.
"If I assist you in my own name, then I will not be able to use the Nether army, and likewise, I will not be able to use anyone but my cronies. Artevis, you're really good at this abacus...... Monasse looked at Atvance, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said.
"Even if you don't succeed then, you have nothing to lose, do you? If you succeed, you'll have enough resources to take your Nether's development to the next level, so why not give it a try?" Artevans also smiled delicately, saying.
There was no doubt that Monasse was indeed moved, but out of prudence, he still thought about it for a while.
Seeing Monasse deep in thought, Artevans knew that Monasse must have something in mind, so he was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Monasse to respond.
After a long time, Monasse seemed to have made up his mind, picked up the cup that Artevans had pushed in front of him, and drank the tea inside.
Seeing this, Artevans smiled with satisfaction, "Well, happy cooperation. I won't bother any longer, and in two days I'll be waiting for you in the Hell, and whatever you offer, I'll gladly accept it."
With that, Artevans grabbed another piece of snack and put it in his mouth, wiped his mouth, stood up and nodded slightly to Monasse, and turned to leave.
After leaving this hut, Artevans did not continue to stay in the underworld for too long, and returned to the Underworld.
——————————————
That night, in the main city of the Netherworld, in the newly built mansion of the Emperor of the Netherworld.
"I heard Serban say that Lord Artevans came to the Underworld alone today to talk to you about something, is that true?" As soon as Daisse entered the hall, he looked at Monasse, who was sitting in a soft chair, and asked.
"That's right, it's about teaming up to conquer the dragons in private, and I just want to talk to my brother about it." Monasse spoke, and told Daiser everything about his previous conversation with Artevis.
……
"If I'm not mistaken, you're taking the initiative to destroy a race." After listening to Monasse's description, Daiusse frowned and said.
"You can say that, but if we succeed, we have access to many resources. I thought about it seriously, the Netherworld has always lived in the closed underworld, although it can be self-sufficient by relying on the sufficient resources of the underworld, but without the support of external resources, it is difficult for the development of the Netherworld to make a breakthrough. I don't want to be satisfied with the status quo, I want to make the Nether develop better so that we don't fall too far behind the other races."
Monasse seriously told Daiser the truth about his considerations, which was entirely out of Monasse's consideration as the Emperor of the Netherworld, and it was no longer in the name of himself as Atfans said.
Monasse really couldn't be like Atfans, as the supreme ruler of a race, and still be able to completely separate his own interests from the interests of the race. Atvance wanted to do these things purely for his own ambition, and it could even be said that it was fun, and the second thing was to let the demons gain benefits.
But Monasse is different, Monasse's sense of responsibility to the Netherworld makes him always take the Netherworld into account when making these more important decisions. Therefore, even if he succeeds in conquering the dragons, Monasse will definitely use the resources he has obtained to fully use the construction of the Netherworld, rather than for his own selfish interests.
Daisse is also very clear about this, after all, Monasse is his own brother.
"Now that you've decided, follow your ideas, and if you need my strength, you can just say it." Daiser said, frowning.
Dianace's quick response surprised Monasse a little, "Hasn't my brother always disliked this kind of thing like foreign aggression? And ......
However, halfway through Monasse's words, Daiusse stretched out his finger, tapped Monasse's forehead, and said softly, "Indeed, as you said, I don't like this kind of thing that much, after all, the dragons have no hatred for us."
"However, I really feel the heart of your desire for the Netherworld to be able to develop better. So, as a member of the Netherworld, it is only natural for me to contribute. What's more, you are my younger brother, my only relative, and it is only natural for you to help your younger brother as an elder brother."
With that, Daiusse flicked Monasse's forehead lightly, and a smile could even be said to be doting on his face. Although Monasse is already an excellent Emperor of the Underworld, in Daise's mind, Monasse is first and foremost a relative whom he swore to protect, whose blood is thicker than water.
Hearing Daiser say this, Monasse also smiled, "So, it's decided......
