Chapter Forty-Eight: Marriage?
In Xia Fan's room, nothing happened that Lena expected.
Opposite.
Lena even felt a little lost.
It's nothing more than Xia Fan selectively telling her some truths after checking her physical condition.
"Brother, is this anomaly completely affected by the fragment of the god Hades of the underworld?"
looked at Xia Fan, who was sitting at the table and handed himself a cup of tea.
Lena's mood was a little heavy.
"Yes, because the fragment of the godhead of Hades has been completely fused with your soul, so you will be more or less affected by this fragment of the godhead, once I helped you seal the power of this fragment of the godhead, but unfortunately, as time goes by, when your soul power becomes stronger and stronger, the fragment of the godhead that is fused with your soul will inevitably become equally powerful, in other words, unless you can stop cultivating, you will inevitably be affected by this fragment of godhead in the future......"
Xia Fan explained softly.
"Isn't there even a solution for my brother?"
Lina bit her lip lightly and looked at Xia Fan in a daze.
"Yes, all I can do now is curb the influence of this Godhead Fragment on you by deepening the seal. ”
Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone.
"But you don't have to worry too much, if you can't solve the problem of this godhead fragment now, it doesn't mean that my brother can't solve it in the future. ”
"I was relieved to hear my brother say that. ”
Hearing this, Lena breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know if she believes in Xia Fan too much, or if she is affected by Xia Fan's dismissive attitude, or both.
Deep down, though, she still harbored uneasiness.
But at least it's not as heavy as it was when I first learned the truth.
"Now that I have helped you re-strengthen the seal on your soul, as long as your soul power does not fluctuate drastically, you will not be affected by this fragment of Godhead for a long time to come. ”
No one knew Lena's situation better than Xia Fan.
But he was rather optimistic and relaxed.
Because he didn't want Lena to suffer too much psychological pressure for this.
In fact, a long time ago.
Xia Fan knew that he could only seal the fragment of Hades' godhead for a while, and he couldn't seal it for a lifetime.
As long as Lena's soul power continues to grow.
Sooner or later, this Godhead fragment would break through Xia Fan's seal.
Lina will have a mental abnormality, that is, the power of the Godhead Fragment has loosened the seal imposed by Xia Fan.
If you sit idly by.
And so on.
Lena's temperament will change dramatically under the subtle influence of this Godhead fragment.
In other words.
In the future, she may no longer be who she really is.
But Xia Fan would never allow such a thing to happen.
At this stage, he really can't solve this Godhead fragment, and only when the time is ripe can he solve it through other means.
"Then again, you have dreamed in a dream that there are many vague figures in a temple who are silently observing each other, and if you are not mistaken, these vague figures are all people with fragments of the Godhead of Hades. ”
Maybe it's to distract Lena.
Xia Fan also deliberately changed the topic.
"Do you remember how many figures there are in the temple?"
"I want to think about it...... I think there are thirty or forty of them. ”
Lena was stunned, then thought for a moment.
"Thirty or forty? I remember that in the earliest days, there seemed to be hundreds of Godhead fragments scattered by Hedes in the God-given Continent, and now there are only thirty or forty left, which means that in the near future, someone will soon be able to fuse the complete Hedes Godhead. ”
Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.
“...... Brother, what do you mean...... Maybe someone with a fragment of the Godhead of Hades will come to me in the future?"
Lena was silent for a moment.
"It's inevitable. ”
Xia Fan said lightly.
"So you have to be as careful as possible in the future, let Yaya pay more attention to strange strangers, although there is a brother who will not watch you have an accident, but there are some situations where you have to be on guard. ”
"I know, brother. ”
Lena said solemnly.
"Alright, it's time for my brother to cook for you. ”
After speaking.
Xia Fan stretched his waist.
He got up and walked out the door.
Lena stayed at the manor for a total of ten days.
It's not long, it's not short.
Although on the surface, she still likes to be intimate with Xia Fan as usual.
But whenever I am alone.
She would involuntarily fall into deep thought, and no one knew what she was thinking but herself.
Lina's occasional abnormality naturally can't hide from Xia Fan.
But he didn't say anything.
Lena has grown up.
She is no longer the little girl who used to like to stick to herself all the time.
She has her own thoughts, her own thoughts, her own worries, her own pursuits, and so on.
She doesn't need to continue to rely on Xia Fan for everything.
Xia Fan believed.
Even if you leave by yourself in the future.
She can live just fine.
However, after the matter of the fragment of the Godhead of Hades.
Xia Fan, who originally planned to stay in this world, had to continue to stay.
He will not leave until it is satisfactorily resolved.
"Vivi, what was the outcome of the negotiations between the human side and the Alliance during my absence?"
When Xia Fan sent Lena back to the Domon region.
Lena immediately approached Vivi to inquire about the situation.
“...... Big sister, things are a little complicated. ”
Looking at the returning Lena.
Vivi's face showed a strange and unspeakable look.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Lina instantly said with a solemn expression.
"Has the human side decided to break up the alliance at all costs?"
"No......"
Vivi shook her head and looked at Lena with a complicated gaze.
"In fact, the envoys sent by the human side this time are unexpectedly kind to speak, and they have an attitude of recognition and support for the establishment of the alliance and the development trend of various tribes, and are even willing to increase the reciprocal trade ...... with the alliance."
Vivi took a deep breath.
"But...... The messenger made one condition. ”
"Conditions?"
Lena was stunned when she heard this.
At first, she almost thought Vivi was teasing herself.
You must know that the human side, out of fear, has been suppressing orcs and orcs as much as possible for many years.
Now that the human side has taken the initiative to show goodwill, it is impossible to think about it.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
When Vivi said that the human messenger had made a condition.
Lena immediately realized that this was the key.
"Eldest sister, don't be angry after listening to me. ”
Vivi looked at Lina, whose face was uncertain, and said cautiously.
"Why am I mad at you?"
Lena asked rhetorically, frowning.
"Alas......"
Vivi sighed softly.
"Big sister, you should know that the human side actually knows that we are the masterminds behind the development of the alliance until now, right?"
"Of course, after all, I've never underestimated the human aspect. ”
Lena nodded, unexplained.
"So the conditions put forward by the envoy this time are related to us, more precisely to the eldest sister. ”
Vivi's tone suddenly deepened. see
"Something to do with me?"
Lena was even more confused.
"Weiwei, don't beat around the bush for me anymore, if you have something to say, just say it!"
"Okay!"
Wei Wei shook her head, and her face immediately became serious.
"The condition put forward by the envoy this time is that the new king of the Baker Kingdom wants to marry the eldest sister! If the eldest sister agrees, the Baker Kingdom will not only allow the alliance to continue to grow, but is even willing to vigorously support the alliance......"
"What?"
Lina's eyes widened subconsciously when she heard this, full of disbelief.
"The new king of the Baker Kingdom wants to marry me? Vivi, are you kidding?"
"Big sister, do you think I'm joking?"
Wei Wei said helplessly.
“...... One thing I wonder is, how did the Baker Kingdom know about me, and the most important thing is why the new king of the Baker Kingdom insisted on marrying me?"
Lena fell silent.
Half a day.
She stared at Vivi and said slowly.
"Eldest sister, although we have been secretive all these years, someone has always seen our true colors, so it is not unusual for the human side to know about us, or rather, the eldest sister......"
Vivi said in a deep voice.
"As for why the new kingdom of the Baker Kingdom wants to marry the eldest sister, the messenger who came has made it very clear that the Baker Kingdom needs to borrow the power of the alliance, but they also know that it is impossible for the alliance to trust humans, so they hope to stabilize the relationship between them through marriage......"
Lena, the new king of the Baker Kingdom, certainly knows who it is.
The other party is the little prince who defeated his uncle.
When I returned to the manor before.
Xia Fan had already reminded Lina.
The civil war in the kingdom of Baker is over.
The human side has been able to pull out its hand against them.
It's just that.
Lena didn't expect it.
The human side reacts so quickly that even the way to "deal with" them is unexpected.
As for the matter of marriage.
Lena felt that the messenger might not be telling the truth.
True.
Now that the Baker Kingdom has been battered by the civil war, it really needs to recuperate, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Baker Kingdom is in a weakened situation, it is not difficult to deal with the Alliance.
But the kingdom of Baker made a shocking choice.
Marriage!
What do humans want to do?
Lena definitely didn't believe that the other party would be so kind.
Is it to support the orcs to contain the orcs further north?
After all, although the orcs identify with the half-orcs, they can't talk about any kindred feelings with each other.
Say something ugly.
On the surface, they seem to have a harmonious relationship with each other.
In fact, everyone treats each other as if they were another race.
Orcs do not recognize half-orcs as orcs.
Orcs also disapprove of orcs.
The relationship is very complex.
Think about the earth in a past life,
Obviously, we are all human beings, but we still have serious mutual discrimination.
Even among ethnic groups of the same color, there are serious prejudices and discrimination.
So let alone orcs and half-orcs.
It's just that now everyone is a difficult brother, and there is a common enemy of mankind.
Therefore, each other can ignore these things for the time being.
If the orcs rise again.
It is estimated that orcs will directly divide half-orcs into inferior people, and their status is only a little higher than that of humans.
If the human side wants to use the orcs to contain the orcs, or even deliberately provoke hostile struggles with each other, and the human side only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, this is indeed a good way.
"What if I choose to say no?"
This moment.
Lena thought a lot.
After all, the alliance is the hard work they have worked so far.
It was impossible for her not to think about it.
"The human envoy has vaguely stated that if the eldest sister chooses to refuse, the Baker Kingdom will immediately send troops to Domon to forcibly suppress the existence of the disbandment alliance......"
Wei Wei's face was a little ugly.
"It's a naked threat. ”
Lena's eyes narrowed, and anyone could feel the murderous intent emanating from her eyes.
Marriage?
All the way.
Lena didn't even think about it.
Because in this life, she will never marry anyone but her brother, even if she is a god.
“...... So, big sister, what should we do next?"
Vivi said with a heavy heart.
It's nothing more than that she knows it just as well.
It is impossible for the eldest sister to agree to the marriage.
"What is the reaction of the tribal leaders of the alliance now?"
Lena thought for a moment.
"It's a bit bad. ”
Vivi shook her head.
"Except for a few clan leaders who strongly oppose the marriage, the other clan leaders are silent, although they say that everything is according to the eldest sister's choice, but in fact, who doesn't know that deep down they are in favor of the marriage......"
"In other words, if I refuse to marry this time, these clan leaders will be very disappointed, and they may even shake the foundation of the entire alliance......"
Lena thought deeper.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Why are the tribes willing to agree to an alliance?
It is nothing more than the existence of the alliance that allows the tribes to live a better life.
Once Lena refuses to marry.
This means that all tribes must face the human front.
The slightest carelessness is the end of the extinction.
Lena used her interests to tie the tribes to the chariot of the Alliance.
When the chariot of the Alliance is likely to overturn at any time, how many clans will choose to jump out of the chariot directly?
In this matter.
One is not handled well.
Lina's years of hard work will be completely wasted.
“...... Let's get started with our back-ups. ”
I thought about it for a long time.
Lena seemed to have made up her mind.
There was a look of fierceness on his serious faces.
"Big sister, are you sure?"
Wei Wei was stunned.
"I didn't want to start our hands at this time, but the humans didn't give us time to prepare. ”
Lena shook her head and said indifferently.
"Since humanity wants to go to war, then satisfy them!"
"What's more, not only the Alliance, but all the clansmen need to use a baptism of blood to declare to the world that the orcs will never be slaves!"
"Good!"
Infected by emotions.
Wei Wei couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"I'll let all the sisters know right away!"
Lena, what are the backhands they left behind?
It's actually quite simple.
It is nothing more than forcing all the tribes of the alliance to take their side through the power of propaganda and public opinion.
