Chapter 118: A Gentleman Can Be Bullied

Judging from the current situation reflected in the Demon King War, Solomon is indeed a threat to the five elven kings, but how could he threaten the dark elf king? He is the reincarnation of the Dark Elf King in the human world, and it is said that the more powerful he is, the less the Dark Elf King will be threatened, right?

People in this world may not understand this question, but Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan both know very well that the thing that will threaten the Dark Elf King is the Darkness of the Otherworld, which is destroyed indiscriminately.

The darkness of the other world will not distinguish who is the dark elf king, who is the five elf kings, who is the holy maiden, who is the demon king, all the existence of the elf world and the human world, the darkness of the other world will pollute it.

In the original work, the Dark Elf King was eroded by the Darkness of the Otherworld early, and the core part of the dark elf Restia that it created, which is responsible for guiding the awakening of the Demon King, is also the Darkness of the Otherworld, which shows that it is likely to be the first to be poisoned, and it may even be Solomon's attempt to do it - this is really simple, he himself is the reincarnation of the Dark Elf King, and Restia is by his side in order to guide the Demon King's awakening, and there is no way to guard against it.

The dragon king Bahamut may have obtained such information from some channel, or analyzed such information, so he was wary of Solomon, and even faintly put on a hostile posture.

This is also the key reason why Li Qinglan and Lin Yuedong think that they can convince the Dragon King to help them.

"Thou art shrewd." The Dragon King said, "I do suspect that Solomon is not the reincarnation of the will of our Lord, but of some other scheme. However, this does not mean that I am on the same position as you. Everything in this world is not black and white, and the situation in the world is not either/or. I am not willing to fight with Solomon, but I am not willing to help you against him. ”

"So the Dragon King wants to remain neutral?" Li Qinglan immediately asked.

"I'm just following my old habits and not meddling in human affairs. I am the deity enshrined in the Duchy of Dolagunia, but not the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Dolagunia. The affairs of the world are to be solved by you. Bahamut said categorically.

"Is this what the Dragon King summoned us for?" Li Qinglan frowned slightly.

"Yes, I'm here to make this clear, lest you have unrealistic expectations." Bahamut said politely.

Li Qinglan was a little disappointed in her heart. Their plan in advance was to spread the news in the country, so that the people would expect the Grand Duke to send troops. When the Grand Duke does not move, the people will naturally turn their hopes to the god in their hearts, Bahamut, and pray to Bahamut to send troops to the principality, so as to alarm Bahamut and let Bahamut know of their existence.

Bahamut was not a fool, knowing their existence and the news that had recently spread in the principality, he would have guessed that this was their handiwork, and he would have been able to deduce the purpose of their visit—to ask Bahamut to issue an oracle to the Archduke of Maphilyon to suppress the royal power with divine power and popular opinion. For the sake of both sides and the same camp, Bahamut should not refuse this request.

So they have been waiting for Bahamut to be summoned, which means that Bahamut has already responded to this request. Li Qinglan and Lin Yuedong analyzed in advance and felt that the probability of agreeing was more than 70%, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would be exchanged for a neutral statement, which was equivalent to rejecting the request of the three in disguise, which could not but disappoint.

However, it is not surprising that the Principality of Bahamut has replaced the descendants of the Grand Duke of Maphirion to rule the country more than 500 years later, and the current Bahamut is still not interested in power. Maintaining a neutral attitude is also a sign of respect for the regime as a religious leader.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, you have chosen to remain neutral, and I admire your respect for the weak as a powerful being." Lin Yuedong took a step forward and said, "But Your Majesty the Dragon King, sometimes this kind of respect is a kind of harm. ”

"How?" The Dragon King asked.

"Because of your neutral attitude, the Duchy of Dolagunia still does not dare to devote all its energy to the war, maintaining a posture of advancing and retreating. For this reason, the Demon King Army and the coalition army have been tug-of-war many times, but they have not been able to gain an overwhelming advantage, resulting in the war being dragged on for a longer and longer period, and more and more human beings are dying in the war. These people were killed by the armies of both sides, but why not for you? Lin Yuedong said sharply.

"This ......" Bahamut was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to be able to look at the problem from this angle.

Indeed, the Duchy of Dolagunia did not go all out, and the Demon King Army and the coalition army on the Eastern Front were in a stalemate, and the result that no one could suppress anyone was that the two sides were colliding every day and were dying. If the Duchy of Dolagunia had sent out its full force early, and the dragon elves had attacked with all their troops, maybe the Demon King Army had already failed, and then there would be no need to kill so many people.

"War is not a dinner party, it is not an embroidery, war is a machine of destruction filled with life, and the longer it lasts, the more it will be destroyed. If possible, we should not let this machine run for a long time, but end it as quickly as possible, otherwise it will not be good for anyone, whether it is the Demon King Army, or the Coalition Army, or the Duchy of Dorakunia. Lin Yuedong looked at the curtain with burning eyes, "If the people of the Principality of Doragunia believe in you, and you sit back and watch them be wiped out in this machine, then I have to say, they are really stupid." ”

"Are you accusing me?" Bahamut's voice was inaudible.

"Don't dare, I'm just sorry for those people. The object of their worship is a god who has no responsibility. They build the temple for you, make offerings, and provide attendants, not so that you can sit idly by while you can save them—that's exactly what you do. Solomon is destroying everything, and you are standing idly by, Your Majesty the Dragon King. Not revolting in dark times means complicity, and I hope you remember that phrase. The more Lin Yuedong said, the more stern he became.

In fact, he is sophistry, stealing concepts. The belief of believers is not a reason for the gods to act, and the casualties caused by the war can only be blamed on the commanders of both sides who keep throwing people into this destruction machine, even if the war cannot be ended quickly, what does it have to do with Bahamut, who has not participated in the war?

But Lin Yuedong believes that Bahamut cannot tell this. She is a good person, and a good person will be deceived by such a statement, as the so-called gentleman can be deceived by the party.

"Not resisting in the dark times means being complicit......" Bahamut sighed lightly, "So, my neutrality is actually helping Solomon?" ”

"Solomon's ambition was to destroy the world, and now war and otherworldly darkness are achieving it. To stop him, it is necessary to end the war as soon as possible and kill him. Lin Yuedong said, and then immediately added, "Of course, the Dark Elf King will not die because of this. Demon kings will be reincarnated from generation to generation in the human world, and I'm sure you should know that. ”

"Yes, I know the power of my Lord." Bahamut apparently doesn't care whether Solomon is dead or alive," you have some truth in what you say. Perhaps, I should make my attitude clear. ”
