Chapter 191: Going to the Imperial Capital (II)
I don't know how long I fell asleep, but Odin felt a pair of hands pick him up, and after walking a short time, he put himself on a chair again, and then Odin gradually regained consciousness.
Looking at it, this is a huge study, and the decoration in the room is several times larger than that of the empty water city lord, although the decoration of the items in the room looks a little old, but it looks like they are all precious things that have been precipitated over the years.
Looking up, his eyes were still a little blurry, and when he saw a figure looking at him, Odin softened his eyes, and then he was completely awake.
"Odin, you've finally woken up. ”
It was His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the current empire who was talking to Odin, but he didn't wear a military uniform at this time, he was dressed casually, and his slightly smiling face made Odin feel close from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, here it is?"
"In my study, you should be the first person to really step into this place and talk to me, besides my father and mother. ”
The second prince thought that when Odin heard this, he would pretend to be flattered even if he pretended, but he didn't expect that Odin still looked indifferent.
"Your Royal Highness, did you say that you wanted me to come here and have important things to do?"
"What do you say is the biggest problem facing our empire now?" the second prince did not answer Odin's question directly, but threw him such a question.
"It should be a war in the northwest" Odin until the answer to the question should not be so simple, but he really can't think of any other answer.
"You're right or wrong. Now we are indeed encountering a big problem in the northwest, but it is also because our people are involved, if we want to really eradicate these brute beasts, we can use the strength of our whole country to give me three or five years, and I can also calm down. ”
Odin looked at the second prince quietly, waiting for his next step.
"But you have to know that the Phantom Beast Master Guild is not our final say, but the people who followed Gramandas in the first place, and almost more than half of the Phantom Beast Masters in the entire empire listen to the Phantom Beast Master Guild, not our royal family. ”
"Do they want to take the throne?" said Odin.
Hearing this, the second prince was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha, although the rules of this world are biased in their favor, but this is the world and there are mages, and warriors, it's not that the phantom beast master is the only one, there are many who can restrain them, and it's not so easy for them to dominate the world, they are just dealing with the affairs of the Northwest Barbarian Beasts, which is diametrically opposed to us. ”
The second prince picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea gently, then continued: "Our proposition is that if these brutes can obey the rules of our humans, then what is the point of merging them into the human world, a thousand years ago, in ancient times, there were no elves, orcs, and dwarves to communicate with each other, as long as they were intelligent creatures, it would not be difficult for them to get along." ”
"Is the idea of the Phantom Beastmaster Guild to agree to merge into the human race, or does it want to kill them all?"
The second prince glanced at Odin, as if admiring Odin's clarity of thought, and replied: "In their opinion, these brute beasts are different from ordinary phantom beasts, and the phantom beasts that cannot be contracted are themselves weaker than phantom beasts, and they can't accept these brute beasts as a member of the human race. ”
Odin just wanted to say something, but the second prince seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said without a pause: "But these guys have never stopped studying these brute beasts for a moment, why do they have wisdom beyond ordinary phantom beasts, why can't they be contracted by the rules of contract, so, before the results of their research come out, they do not advocate letting these phantom beasts die, so that they lose the existing ecological environment, and thus lose the value of research." ”
Odin shook his head slightly, and said imperceptibly, "These old stubborns. ”
"Hahaha, although you are young, but when I first heard about this, the reaction is the same, yes, these are some old stubbornness, you must know that the wisdom of these brute beasts themselves is not weaker than us humans, and their physical fitness is several times that of our humans, if they develop, we will not be able to sit on an equal footing, or the result of becoming prisoners of the ranks. ”
"But what can I do about this? I'm just an ordinary Phantom Beast Master, and I'm not yet at the level of a high-level Phantom Beast Master. ”
The second prince shook his head and said: "I can't say anything yet, I had that feeling when I first saw you, but I can't be sure, I just regard you as a young man with potential, as for now, I can tell you with certainty that yours is not ordinary, and there are many things you can do." It's just that the current task is just to be my bodyguard. ”
"Guard?" Odin was a little suspicious of his ears, there are so many masters around the second prince, and he still needs himself as a guard?
"Haha, don't think too much, just think that before you go to the northwest, I will let you make some powerful people and let you have a good look at the face of this empire. By the way, you don't want to know what Hercules is learning?"
This made Odin feel a little awkward, and found an excuse to forget, "What is it?"
"Speaking of which, this is also a secret, you must know that phantom beasts and us humans cannot have children, and I don't know when, a phantom beast and a human gave birth to a child, and this child inherited the power of human beings, and also inherited part of the phantom beast ability. ”
"What! You're saying Hercules is half-phantom beast and half-human?"
"Don't worry, listen to what I'm saying, because the advantages of both are concentrated in one person, this person has achieved great success in the end, not only has the human rule power been thoroughly comprehended, but also has inherited the rule skills of the phantom beast by nature, and extended this ability to his own rule skills, that is to say, the rule skills he created can be condensed at the same speed as the phantom beast. Later, many people tried a lot, but there was never a single case of success. Later people were unwilling to explore this way of exercise, and finally there was a person with outstanding talent who made up for this method through acquired efforts. ”
He buried himself deep in the phantom beast, killing the phantom beast, almost dozens of them every day, and it was the same phantom beast, almost where he was was the corpse of the phantom beast in one place, in that era, he was directly chased and killed by the people of the phantom beast division union, but he still did not change his original intention, and finally one day he gathered the fragments of the rules that the phantom beast died and scattered, or the curse of the phantom beast, while inheriting the great affinity of the phantom beast rules, he also became a complete phantom beast, his thoughts were chaotic, and he would only destroy everywhere. ”
Odin looked at the second prince with some solemnity: "Could it be that Hercules will also become like this?"
"It's up to him, he's a warrior, and while he's on a path of killing and sanctification, I'm sure he won't be lost if he keeps his belief in humanity. ”
After the second prince finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
Odin bowed his head in contemplation, while the second prince looked at Odin with interest.
After a long time, Odin raised his head and said, "It's okay to be your bodyguard, but I just hope that you can help Hercules when he really goes on a rampage." ”
The second prince said very happily: "No problem. ”
