Chapter 37: The Sea of Thunder
"We just need your help to do one thing. Skeletron said to Baroque.
"What's the matter?" Baroque asked.
Skeletron did not answer immediately, but said to Baroque, "Before I tell you this, I need you to swear by your soul, even if you do not agree to our conditions, you must not leak this matter." ”
Hearing Skeletron's cautious tone, Baroque suddenly realized the seriousness of this matter. He had to think about what was going to happen. ———— is afraid that this matter will be leaked, then it is bound to conceal the continental racial alliance led by the Holy See. And it is conceivable that if this thing is successful, there will undoubtedly be two effects. One is naturally able to inflict heavy damage on the continent's races, and the other may be able to make the dark forces skyrocket.
But no matter what the outcome is, it will allow the demon forces to reach a balance with the strategic forces of the continent, and even turn the situation around. Don't look at —————— now the dark army is attacking like the sky, winning everywhere and occupying a large territory. But after all, their foundation is too weak to last long, and perhaps the capture of the Eberon Kingdom is already its limit. On the other hand, although the Holy See and the mainland clans had just been defeated, their strength was still undamaged, far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones. On the contrary, because of this failure, everyone is truly alarmed. Once the terrifying war machine of the Holy See is fully operational, with the sheer number of human beings, the armies they can muster will be in the millions. At that time, there will be a headache for the demonic forces.
Baroque was a little undecided, and in all fairness, he didn't want to get involved in the war between the demonic forces and the tribes of the continent. The most suitable choice is to hide on the sidelines and remain neutral and watch from the sidelines, with his strength at the peak of a demigod, no one will be idiot enough to provoke him.
But Baroque had a hunch that Sauron would not remain in this state forever. Like a few years ago, who would have believed in the presence of demigods? They hadn't even heard of the demigods. But now even the most ordinary people know that the venerable demigods are all around them.
Therefore, no one can guarantee that one day in the future, suddenly there will be a true God on either side. At that time, the strength of the baroque demigods lost its meaning. As long as the true God does not please him. It wasn't that hard to kill him. There is nothing you want in this world, you still have to stand in line after all.
"By my soul, even if I can't make an agreement, I won't divulge any of your secrets. Baroque finally swore an oath. And it's the devil's side of choice. This is actually not difficult to choose, after all, the conditions given by the demon side are very tempting, on the other hand, on the Holy See side, it is good if they are not hostile to the Baroque, let alone take out a priceless treasure [True God Godhead]. Moreover, even if the Baroque made its choice. It's just a matter of agreeing to this one thing, and when the matter is resolved, he can still calmly choose neutrality.
"I am glad that Your Excellency Baroque has made the wisest choice. Skeletron chuckled.
"What is it now?" Baroque asked again.
"We need your full help to help us take Dragon Island. ”
"What did you say?" Baroque was taken aback, he never expected Skeletron to say such a thing. He wouldn't be too surprised if Skeletron asked him to help assassinate the Pope. However, Skeletron said that he wanted to take Dragon Island...... Not to mention the friendship between Baroque and the golden dragon king Obasekita, as well as the three-headed golden dragon demigod he just met. Even if the Baroque goes out to tear his face and fall out with the dragon clan, everyone should know that the dragon island in the open sea is the ancestral land of the dragon clan. There is bound to be a temple where dragons communicate with dragon gods. Even with the addition of Baroque, Skeletron and Hungry Devourer, with the power of only three demigods, how could they go to provoke around the Dragon Temple?
"I refuse. Baroque immediately refused, joking, isn't that going to death?
"Baroque, please listen to me. I know your concerns, but you can rest assured that the dragon temple won't make any difference. "Skeletron seems to have known Baroque's reaction for a long time. explained.
"I can reveal a little bit of the latest news to you, the great demon master is now leading the true god warlords of the abyss to launch an attack on the Sky God Realm. They have already fought several wars, and now it is our masters who have the upper hand. Moreover, in the battle, both the elf goddess and the dragon god were severely injured by the demon master, and they should both be recuperating in the divine court at this moment. Today you also saw the two demigods of the three-headed golden dragon and the elemental elf king, you should know that to send these two demigods into the mortal realm of the Sauron Continent, it takes a lot of strength for the main god. It will also greatly delay the recovery time of the dragon god and the elf goddess. In addition, we have some kind of [artifact] given by the demon master in our hands. So even if we capture Dragon Island, the dragon god is helpless. ”
"But you've probably heard that I have a good relationship with the dragons, and that the Golden Dragon King Obasekita was once a close ally of mine. Now let me raise the butcher's knife against them...... I can't betray my friends. Baroque said silently.
"Hehe, you misunderstood, Lord Baroque. We're not trying to attack the dragons, we're going to want their dragon islands. Skeletron paused and said, "Or maybe we need to occupy Dragon Island for a while, as long as we achieve our goal, we will naturally return Dragon Island to them." Even I can guarantee that Dragon Island will not have much change and damage. ”
Baroque was moved, and he couldn't figure out what Skeletron was trying to do. But it was clear that Skeletron wouldn't necessarily tell him unless he said yes. What to do? He was in a dilemma.
It stands to reason that if a person does not perish for himself, Baroque should agree to it, so that he will get a [Godhead]. With his current demigod peak, it can be said that he can become a true god without much effort, and this temptation is not small. But the price to be paid is also serious enough......... In addition to completely turning against the dragons, he will also offend another main god in addition to the beast god. Maybe the true god can crush all the demigods, but he still can't see enough in front of the main god, and he has become the object of crushing.
The Baroque thought about it and made a decision again and again, and it would be worth the loss to offend a main god for the sake of a godhead.
Hearing Baroque's refusal, Skeletron didn't regret it too much, but immediately put forward another condition that reduced the difficulty: "Although it's a pity, we respect your choice." Dragon Island is certainly difficult to attack, but it is not impossible, and we will find a way to do it ourselves. But the Baroque Lord must keep it a secret, otherwise it will ...... You know the consequences of breaking your soul vows. ”
Baroque nodded in agreement, after all, he didn't even dare to offend the dragon god, let alone a much more powerful demon"
Thinking that there was nothing to do, and just as he was about to say goodbye, Skeletron suddenly said, "But there is another thing that you may want to consider, and if you do that, our trading conditions will remain the same, and it will still be a [Godhead] reward." But first of all...... It was dangerous, and it could even make a demigod fall. ”
"What's the matter?" Baroque asked casually, not taking it seriously.
"In the depths of the open sea, even farther away than Dragon Island, there is a forbidden place, which we call the [Thunder Sea]. As the name suggests, it is surrounded by terrifying thunder and lightning all year round, and is known as a forbidden place that even the gods cannot enter at will. Lord Baroque, if you are able to penetrate into it and place what we have given you in the right place, then we will reward you with a Godhead. ”
It's the first time I've heard of this name. Baroque's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the power of purple electricity in his body! )
