"But will this help Sister Anthony?" Sophia still didn't understand what Dio said had to do with Antony. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"If Dio can really get Raymond to leave Yanjing, then he will naturally be able to let me return to the battlefield. Anthony looked at Dio and shook her head: "However, I think the hope is too slim, Dio, I'm glad that you can think about me, but have you thought about it, Raymond They are just extreme warriors, what are the chances of surviving when they really get to the battlefield? Even I, a wind martial artist, will inevitably be injured, so I don't agree with this method." ā
Dio smiled: "Of course I know, when did you see me do something that I am not sure of? Tomorrow I will go to see His Majesty Hoffman, you can just wait for my news." ā
Raymond only then reacted: "You go by yourself?"
"yes, what? Do you want to go too?"
Raymond waved his hand again and again: "Forget it, I don't think it's very reliable, and my uncle will definitely not agree." ā
Dio looked at the others and saw that everyone had similar expressions on their faces, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that everyone's expectations of me are not high." ā
Sophia glared at Dio angrily: "I thought you didn't know." ā
Dio just smiled and didn't say anything, although everyone was curious about where Dio's confidence came from, but looking at Dio's appearance, he knew that he definitely couldn't ask anything, so no one spoke.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Dio really went to see Hoffman, Raymond and the others were curious and a little expectant, because they all wanted to know if Dio could convince the always stubborn King Hoffman the Lionheart, and even Andrea and Rainston did not leave, but stayed.
Hearing that Dio wanted to see him, and that he was just a person, Hoffman was surprised and a little displeased, in his opinion, no matter what Dio had to do, he should go to the people of the Divine Domain to deal with it, and come to find himself what to do? Or did Dio think that in the name of immortal inheritance, he could enter and leave the palace at will, so as to prove something to some people? Hoffman thought that the latter might have a bigger surname.
"Let him in. Hoffman said lightly, and then continued to look at the papers in his hand.
By the time Dio entered the hall, Hoffman still hadn't taken his eyes off the papers, not even raising his eyelids, as if he hadn't noticed Dio's presence.
Dio didn't care, first bowed respectfully, and then stood there for a long time, leisurely looking at the layout of the hall.
Neither of them spoke, and the attendants in the hall did not dare to make a sound, and the huge hall fell silent, except for the slight sound of Hoffman's occasional reactionary documents.
After a long time, Hoffman finally raised his head and looked at Dio: "You are looking for me?"
Dio nodded depressedly, didn't he ask knowingly?
Hoffman smiled and continued, "Something to ask me?"
Hoffman's words are equivalent to blocking Dio into a dead end, and no matter how Dio answers, it will not do any good for the rest of the conversation. The answer is yes, Dio has undoubtedly fallen into an absolute disadvantage, but if the answer is no, Hoffman has every reason to reject Dio, and no longer needs to care about the identity of Dio's immortal inheritance.
Dio even had the illusion that Hoffmann already knew what he was coming from. Every time I saw Hoffman before, I was accompanied by Raymond, so Dio didn't feel much pressure, but now, Hoffman just said a simple word, which put Dio in a dilemma, and Dio couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these old guys who have become fine are really not easy to deal with.
Dio was silent for a moment before he spoke, "If you have to understand it that way, it's fine, because I do have something to ask for. ā
"Say it. Hoffman didn't continue to embarrass Dio, of course, if Dio didn't admit that he came here for the sake of face, Hoffman wouldn't mind kicking Dio out.
"We want to go to the southern battlefield. Dio said bluntly, Hoffman's attitude showed that there was no need to go around in circles, and the consequences of doing so were likely to lift bricks and shoot himself in the foot.
"You guys?" Hoffman looked at Dio with some surprise, on the one hand, because of Dio's directness, and on the other hand, because of Dio's request: "Do you think it is possible for me to agree?"
"In the current situation, of course you wouldn't agree. Dio looked at Hoffman calmly: "But what is the reason for your disagreement?
"Strength is only one of the reasons, you won't be unclear, Raymond is my only heir, right? Is there no one in the Lionheart Empire? I'm going to send my only heir to the battlefield as well?" Hoffman said with some amusement.
"It's because I know that I will make such a suggestion, as if you let Raymond go to the Death Song Academy to experience the same reason, the battlefield, isn't it an excellent place to train?"
"Raymond is at the Death Song Academy, I can guarantee his safety, but on the battlefield, no one can be sure what will happen, can you? Dio, whatever reason you have, I will not agree, if you are only here for this matter, then you can go back." Hoffman unceremoniously ordered the eviction.
Dio still stood still: "I want to take the liberty of asking, what do you think of the direction of this war?"
Hoffman raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"Actually, I don't have the slightest experience with this kind of large-scale war, but I think that the Moon Shadow Empire chose to provoke a war at this time, it will not be for no reason, and even if the Lionheart Empire, Sky City and God Domain are united, the outcome of the Moon Shadow Empire is probably still unknown, so I'm worried that if I don't do something now, it will be too late to do it in the future. ā
"It's not a small tone. Hoffman snorted coldly: "What can you do? Or rather, what can you do? You people are not even cannon fodder on the battlefield!"
"So, do you agree with me?" Dio was not ashamed of Hoffman's ridicule, but smiled: "Since the whole continent is going to be in war sooner or later, what is the difference between being later and earlier? You don't want Raymond to do nothing in the whole process, do you?"
"There are some things that you can't do if you want to. Hoffman said lightly: "Maybe your strength can still do something on the battlefield, but do you think other people's strength can?"
"What if I can raise the strength of everyone else to Martial Venerable?" said Dio quickly, he said so much, waiting for Hoffman's words.
There was a hint of surprise on Hoffman's face, but he quickly reverted to his original state: "Do you think this is realistic?"
"I'm a good example, you've probably heard that there is a way to quickly increase your strength in the Divine Domain, as long as there are enough star crystals, it's only a matter of time. ā
"Enough Star Crystals?" Hoffman chuckled: "Okay, even if I believe that the Divine Domain has this method, I believe that you can move them, but will the Divine Domain take out so many Star Crystals for the people around you? Don't think that I don't know the foundation of the Divine Domain, and they have already made a great sacrifice to promote you to Martial Venerable." ā
"You're right, that's why I'm here for you. Dio looked at Hoffman calmly: "With the background of the Lionheart Empire, it should be able to be taken out." ā
"Why?" Hoffman was genuinely curious, and seeing Dio's confident appearance, he didn't seem to be worried at all that he wouldn't agree.
Dio seemed to have expected Hoffman to ask such a question, reached into his arms, and when he took it out again, there was already an extra stone in his palm that emitted a purple halo and was only the size of Seihito's thumb.
Hoffman's gaze froze suddenly, and he looked at the small stone in Dio's hand in disbelief: "Star core?
Dio was very satisfied with Hoffman's reaction, and took a few steps forward and gently put the star core in front of Hoffman: "Use it to exchange star crystals with you, you won't refuse such a deal, right?"
Hoffman was a little speechless for a while, although Hoffman also had a star core in his hand, but he really didn't expect that Dio would casually take out one, how many secrets does this kid have?
In terms of value alone, the star core taken out by Dio can be exchanged for hundreds of star crystals, but the account is not calculated like this, and the extreme warriors can use the star crystals, that is because they can completely absorb the source power excited, but once the star core is activated, with the speed of the extreme warrior absorbing the source force, most of the source power can only be dissipated in vain. In other words, the Star Core cannot fully function in the hands of low-level warriors, and only high-level powerhouses can not waste the massive source power contained in it.
Hoffman suddenly felt that he couldn't see through the Dio in front of him, and after being silent for a while, Hoffman said slowly: "Although I also hope that Raymond can be promoted to Martial Venerable as soon as possible, I still want to know, what is your purpose in doing this?"
"I just told you that I'm worried, worried that if I don't do something now, it will be too late to do it later, this is my sincere words. "Dio is not lying, he is indeed worried, I don't know why, Dio always feels that the timing of the war is a little wrong, and the target he chose is even wrong, the Lionheart Empire is the existence of the Moon Shadow Empire in strength on the entire continent, if Jun Tuming attacks the Sky City first, and then turns back to deal with the Lionheart Empire, it will undoubtedly reduce a lot of losses.
But Jun Duming didn't do that, and he was not in a hurry to expand the scale of the war, as if he was deliberately giving the Lionheart Empire and Sky City and the Divine Domain a chance to join forces, all signs gave people a feeling that Jun Tuming didn't seem to be worried about losing this war at all.
Dio doesn't know why Jun Tuming has such confidence, but for Dio, this war is his only chance for revenge, if these three forces are not Jun Tuming's opponent together, then Dio will probably have no hope of revenge even if he cultivates for hundreds of years.
So even without Antony, Dio was already planning to enter the war, and it can only be said that Antony's appearance made Dio's plan a while ahead.
