Chapter 213: The Talks (Part II)

Freya tilted her head slightly and said, "What you said is not wrong, I did take advantage of you, but this is a decision made after full consideration. The intel I've gathered from my men tells me that you fought and defeated other candidates in both Tordheim and Greze. The policies that have been implemented in several countries are also development local policies, which made me understand that you and the Lodge you support have different philosophies from other candidates, so I made this win-win decision. So I hope, Richard, that you will give me a helping hand to stop the protracted war between gods and demons. ”

Richard shook his head and rejected Freya: "Although your conditions are good and can allow us to lose less, however, I am not used to the presence of people who hinder me. If I were to become King of Fluk, would you surrender your rights, such as guarding your people? ”

Freya said categorically, "No, it is my duty as a goddess to protect my people. ”

Richard said, "Yet, have I not become the king of Fluck? they have all become my people, and it is the king's duty to protect his own people." It is enough for a country to have one guardian. ”

Freya frowned, and Richard crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Since you are unwilling to call out the right, I will not agree to your conditions." Rather than be such a king, I would rather lay down a country without restrictions on my own. ”

Freya stood up and asked, "So, that is, the negotiations broke down?"

Richard nodded, "Yes." ”

Freya looked at Richard with an expression that had never been more determined: "Fluke longs for peace, but Fluke is never afraid of war. ”

Richard leaned back in his chair and said lightly: "Then let's see you on the battlefield! I originally thought that there were really people in the world who fought for the peace of all races, but it seems that I was disappointed again." ”

Freya, who had just turned around, stopped and turned to look at Richard: "You are slandering me. To this day, I still believe in the peaceful coexistence of all races, and this is not only my personal belief, but also the last wish of the late Frucker King Ode, and I have been working hard for it. ”

Odd is the ancestor of Fluk, and according to Diluka, Odd is Freya's ex-husband.

"Heh!hehe!" Richard scoffed, his eyes squinting at Freya, "stop kidding. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Richard's finger tapped on the table, "Your husband must have said everything you said about racial peace throughout." ”

Diluka turned her head to look at Richard, and she sensed that something was wrong with Richard's mood. Freya on the other side lowered her head and thought for a moment, then finally nodded.

Richard's smile widened: "The so-called requests are all fake. Everything you are talking about here is for the fulfillment of your husband's last wishes, not at all out of your own heart......"

If the life span is used to judge the length of time a creature has been in the world, the life of a human being is very short. However, what makes humans different from the Protoss, the Demons, and even the Orcs is that they have their own dreams.

The Protoss have no dreams from birth to death, and their lives are only to complete various missions, just like Diluka, it is her mission to protect Yug Delsiru. The life of the demon clan is a life dominated by desire, and the law of the jungle is their most basic law, and when they see good things, they have to grab them, and if they see something fun, they have to go to it. The vast majority of demons don't have a long-term plan, this long-term refers to a week's time, and the demons focus on immediate interests. It also has a lot to do with their race, because they don't know if they'll be alive by this time next week. The orcs are even simpler, reproduction and survival occupy all of their brain capacity.

Only human beings have their own dreams, some of which are realistic and can be accomplished with their own efforts, and some are unrealistic and cannot be completed in a few lifetimes. Some people want eternal life, some people want the power of gods or demons, and some people just want a stable environment to live in. It is precisely because of dreams that the vast majority of human beings have the motivation to survive and struggle, so human beings have become the most special creatures.

Audeh's dream was to bring about peace among the tribes, and after his death, Freya made it her mission.

Richard raised a mocking smile: "You didn't intend to achieve peace from the beginning, you are just fulfilling other people's dreams, you are just a trapped in the fantasies of a dreamer, how sad it is." ”

Freya's guards immediately drew their weapons, and Richard's side was not to be outdone, and the situation on the field suddenly became tense. But Freya only looked unhappy, and did not lose control of her emotions because of these insulting words, she said slowly: "There is no such thing, my wishes are sincere. ”

"Hmph. Richard chuckled and asked, "So, are you willing to sacrifice your people for peace? If you had to choose between peace and sacrifice, which one would you choose?"

Freya, who had been firmly answering Richard's question, did not make a sound this time, and Richard's questioning hit the nail on the head, and if Freya chose peace, the duty of protecting the people would be left behind, and if she chose the people, it would confirm what Richard had said before. Freya herself is now asking herself what she is after.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Richard continued: "I still said what I said just now. It's really sad, you, as the god who guards this place, should know better than anyone else that it is completely impossible for these hostile races to live together. ”

Freya regained her smile and said with some regret, "I was wrong. I thought you were different from other demons, but in the end, you were the same, deceiving, inducing, and rude...... The only difference is that you don't do it the same way. ”

"It seems that the negotiations have completely broken down. ”

Richard whistled, and the soldiers who had been lying in ambush around him jumped out.

Freya looked around and smiled more gently: "I'm really busy, so I won't waste time here, I'll go first." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers surrounding Freya turned their guns to attack Richard, and the prepared Diluka burst out with divine power to restore these bewildered soldiers to normal. But at that moment, Freya disappeared with several of her companions, and Richard could no longer find any trace of them.

"Huh" Diluka wiped her sweat and looked at the side, Richard was still sitting on the chair in a posture, not at all the same as the soldiers who had just been dispersed, and asked, "Why do you use that kind of word to describe your sister, you are obviously not disturbed?"
