Chapter 123: The Gambling Contract
Link wants cooperation, not defection, he will not be subservient to others, and Sylvanas opened his mouth and closed his mouth as a reward for his subordinates, which made him very unhappy, and also made him understand that if he couldn't let Sylvanas know now that they could only be collaborators, not master and slave, even if the Father's Church developed in the future, he would be subject to people everywhere.
Therefore, Link decisively showed a strong side.
After listening to Link's words, Sylvanas narrowed her eyes, and a strong murderous aura suddenly erupted from her, making the air become viscous, which was definitely not something that could be achieved by killing a few or even dozens of people, even in the murderous Altaïr, Link had never felt such a strong murderous aura.
Suddenly, Link remembered Sylvanas's nickname, the Nightmare of the Stars!
There was a barbarian rebellion in the north that year, and Sylvanas, who was only sixteen years old, personally led the army to suppress the rebellion, only 13,000 people broke the 40,000 barbarian army, and afterwards, she killed more than 80,000 barbarian people, and made the heads of 40,000 barbarian troops into a skull jungle, and the fierce name spread throughout the continent of Ou Rui, which frightened the surrounding enemy countries that were ready to move when they saw the barbarians in rebellion, shouting that Sylvanas was simply a nightmare for the stars, and this nickname became synonymous with Sylvanas.
At the age of sixteen, she did the murder of people, which shows what a cold heart Sylvanas has under her beautiful appearance, and it is not for nothing that she would have such a strong personality.
Link and Sylvanas competed against each other, how could the latter not be angry? The overwhelming murderous aura enveloped the entire room, if it were a different person, I was afraid that he would be directly crushed by this murderous aura, but Link stood still, as if the rich murderous aura was just a gust of fresh wind.
In fact, the murderous aura really didn't have any effect on Link, although it was quite bluffing, Link didn't feel any discomfort. Because at the same time as the murderous aura struck, the holy power in Link's body was suddenly activated, as if giving Link an invisible shield, resisting all the murderous aura of Sylvanas, and unable to cause any impact on Link.
This made Sylvanas a little surprised, there are not many people in this world who can withstand her murderous aura, in the face of her murderous aura, everyone below the seventh order has to kneel, could it be that Link is a seventh-order powerhouse?
Thinking of this, Sylvanas didn't have any panic or fear. On the contrary, he found it interesting, his eyes narrowed and he said: "It seems that you still have some ability, and you can face Lone's murderous aura, at your age, it is already very rare." Could it be that you, like Lone, have received the inheritance of the ancient sage?"
The inheritance of the ancient sage? I see, no wonder the lord in front of him is only twenty years old and so powerful, and he is the same as the protagonist in the novel! It is true that it cannot be viewed with common sense. However, Sylvanas did not shy away from telling her secrets, what did she think?
Thinking to himself, Link couldn't help but look into Sylvanas's eyes. There was only pride, self-confidence, and indifference, and Link understood Sylvanas's thoughts - she didn't think much, but she had a disdainful self-confidence and overlooking the arrogance of everything, which was this extreme character. It made her disdain to hide her secrets.
At the same time, it is also a demonstration, saying that even if Link gets the inheritance or relic of a certain big person. She will not be afraid, for she is too.
Faced with this situation, Link smiled slightly and said: "Father God is above, Your Royal Highness Princess, I have never received any inheritance from the ancient sage, everything I have is given by the noble father, and the noble father is comparable to the so-called ancient sage?"
"Father, hmph......" Sylvanas smiled disdainfully, as if she knew something, but instead of delving into the topic, she withdrew her murderous aura and said lightly, "Neil Night, Lone doesn't care if you tell the truth or not, Lone only asks you, do you dare to make a bet with Lone." ”
Link raised an eyebrow: "Bet, bet on what?"
Sylvanas stretched out a finger: "One year, one year, within one year, Lone can let you do anything, but it won't help you, if you can unify the religious circles of the Red Moon Province within this year, then, Lone can change the relationship between Lone and you from 'king' to 'cooperation', if you can't do it within a year, you have to swear allegiance to Lone-how about it?"
It is not difficult to say that this matter is difficult to say, it is not easy to say, with the current situation of the Father's Religion, as long as there are no accidents, there is absolutely more than enough time, but it is the word 'accident', which makes this gamble a little uneasy.
Thinking of this, Link asked, "God is above, and I am very touched by Her Highness Princess's proposal, but how can I be sure that Her Royal Highness Princess's words are true?
In the face of this questioning, Sylvanas narrowed his eyes, but he didn't get angry, just raised his head and said arrogantly: "Lone doesn't disdain to lie, if you can really unify the religious circles of the Red Moon Province within a year, then it means that you are indeed capable and qualified to talk to Lone Peer, but Lone warns you, if you can't unify after a year and you have to repay the debt, then Lone will personally lead a large army to level your Father's Sect and kill all of your Father's Sect!"
In the end, although Sylvanas did not exude a murderous aura, he was still murderous, causing the temperature of the room to drop a lot.
But this arrogant and threatening speech also showed Sylvanas's arrogant character of disdain for breach of contract, which reassured Link a lot, and then, he discussed some details of the bet with Sylvanas, and finally made a magic contract to determine the matter, and after a year, it was up to Link to decide whether he was an ally or a king.
However, after making the magic contract, Sylvanas showed a playful smile and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, although the major churches in the Red Moon Province are like that on the surface, as far as I know, there are some hidden masters in the five major churches, and among them are still a group of seventh-order powerhouses, if you can't find a way to fight against that group of seventh-order powerhouses within a year, my unified action will probably die." ”
Link's face changed, and then he walked away with a gloomy face, and Sylvanas didn't care, and began to deal with her business with a triumphant gesture.
Seeing Link's gloomy face, Lothema knew that Link was afraid of a dark loss at Sylvanas's hands, and he didn't say much, so he had to comfort a few words to show kindness, but Link only nodded in response, making the atmosphere very depressing, and he didn't say much all the way.
It wasn't until he returned to the villa that the gloomy look on Link's face disappeared, replaced by a faint smile: "Hmph, I really think that this kind of thing is only known to you? When the countless film and television dramas and novels I have watched are fake? Like the big forces of the five major churches, how can there be no hidden masters? Even if Count Lothar doesn't know, can I still think of it? This kind of thing has been prepared for a long time, and it will develop at will in a year, and with the current strength of the Father God Sect, it is really not difficult to unify the religious circles of the Red Moon Province." It's just that the Inquisition must be built as soon as possible, and the manpower is a problem......"
With the current harmonious atmosphere in the church, Link felt that it might be difficult to expand the Inquisition in a short period of time, unless ...... Something can happen that provokes the wrath of the people.
Thinking of this, Link's thoughts were heavier, and the night passed quietly.
The next day, Link was about to leave the capital, but Lotherma suddenly arrived, saying that Sylvanas wanted Link to stay for a few days, because in a few days there would be a good show.
Although Lotherma didn't say clearly what the so-called good show was, Link could guess a little, and after listening to it, he didn't ask what the so-called good show was, but just stared at Lotherma and said, "Your Royal Highness, why do you want to support Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Hearing this, Lotherma said with a faint smile: "Because, Sister Wang will support my dream, but Father will not. ”
"Dream......" Link nodded, no longer continuing the topic, the heavenly family is ruthless, this is even more ruthless guy in front of him, although I don't know if his words are true, but it is certain that he really doesn't care about his father's life or death.
After that, Lotherma left, but Link had already paid attention to this prince, compared to Sylvanas's domineering and cold, although Lotherma's attitude and bearing were more approachable, but more mysterious, it was impossible to see what he was thinking, and Link felt from the bottom of his heart that this guy was very dangerous, maybe his mind was really not on the throne, but his true purpose was unknown.
Link immediately summoned Altaïr, Lin Xi, and Reimu to tell them about Sylvanas and Lothima, and after learning about the two crown princes, even Reimu, who has always been indifferent to the outside world, said that the two siblings were too special, and that they were both people who would do anything to achieve their goals, and that they could not have any good feelings.
However, Link didn't say this to make them feel good about the siblings, and after he told everyone to be careful in the next few days, they asked everyone to be careful and not to go out if they could, while Altaïr wanted to inquire more about the outside world so that he could keep abreast of the outside world.
In this way, Link and they waited quietly in the royal capital, and the outside world seemed to notice something, and the flow of people in the royal capital had decreased a lot in recent days, and finally, on the third day, an astonishing news appeared, the 'Nightmare of the Stars' Princess Sylvanas was critically ill, His Majesty the King was too sad and couldn't afford to hold on to his illness, and the huge kingdom of stars seemed to have lost its axis all of a sudden.
Suddenly, a large group of courtiers jumped out and let Lothmar take charge of the country, and His Majesty the King also issued a declaration next, saying that he was unwell, and that from now on Lothmar would be the regent and rule over all things in the country, and said that the Grand Duke Barnazar intended to rebel, announced the arrest of Barnazar, and ordered Barnazar to go to the palace immediately to be punished.
