Chapter 35: The Grand Duke of Steep Castle (Chapter, Chapter 1)
[You let that Ian Yinfeng come to me, as long as he dares to come, I will dare to give him the relics of Inaga II - as long as he dares]
[You're really thinking too much, there's a kind of clear stupidity]
For Bocaan's simplest method of agitation, Carlos's sharp comment was very direct: [Ian will take the initiative to find you? Going to Fort Steeps? Do you know what you're talking about, even if it's the fourth energy level, it's not like you can call it over, not to mention that Ian is a fifth energy level that is obviously stronger than you]
[You don't want to plot a prophet, do you? Bocaon, don't say such ignorant words, let me despise your wisdom]
And the Grand Duke of Junling Fort also said: [If I can leave Junling Fort, I am already talking freely with the Prophet of Yinfeng in the Quiet Sea now. Don't think of me as a keeper like you who dare not change, if I need to, I will do it, whether I like it or not, unless I can't]
[And I have no intention of plotting against the prophets, I do have in my hands a 'inheritance' that Inaga II gave me back then...... It doesn't count if it's a legacy, that's the 'core' we need the most. Otherwise, why do you think we didn't do anything when you withdrew the Northern Legion for the Flying Flame Expedition? ใ
[Do you really think that we don't dare to act because of unclear information and hesitation? ใ
Carlos didn't reply, but it could be seen from his subtle expression that he did think so, and Bocaon was directly angry and sneered: [Well, seeing that you are lazy when you become an emperor, I might as well go to Allegria, at least she is really willing to be an emperor]
[It's not an emperor like my father and grandfather, it's not interesting to be it]
Carlos shook his head and took another sip of wine, but he still took over and said, "Since it was the 'core' that Grandfather Inaga traded to you, why are you willing to return it now? Don't tell me that you revere your grandfather and his old man, and now when you meet the heir, you are moved to weep bitterly, and you must carry forward your loyalty.
He continued to comment: [You are just a bunch of freaks and bastards, good people are not appropriate, you have to be aliens, good empires and grand dukes are not appropriate, you have to be poor ghosts in the countryside]
[In this world, except for Huaiguang, no one can evaluate whether other people are human or not, and it is not your turn to speak] The Grand Duke of Iron shook his head slightly, too lazy to entangle with Carlos in this regard, he raised a finger and said seriously: [Because the path that Inaga II pointed out for us has come to an end]
[And now, I want to know a new way]
Raising his head, Bocaon was at the other end of the light curtain, looking in the direction of the Terra West, the Quiet Sea: [So, I want to ask for a lesson]
[The teachings of a sage of the time are enough to show us the way]
Carlos was silent for a moment.
After a while, he drank his wine glass, then looked at the light curtain and asked with a puzzled expression, "Since you respect Ian so much in your heart, won't you talk well and 'ask for advice'?" It's okay to please, you have to be willing to spend money, I don't think Ian would mind giving you some good advice]
And Bocaon sneered againโafter all, he was a man of steel, and he was very cold no matter how he laughed: [I have not responded to my diplomatic application for more than a month, and there is no way for me to go through formal channels, and it is impossible for me to write information about Inaga's legacy on my diplomatic rhetoric]
[In that case, it is better to provoke directly. He's definitely coming anyway.]
Carlos shook his head slightly, as Ian's hardcore ally, he did know the character of his ally very well - if someone asked a good question, he might just think the question was boring and pass it by.
But if someone uses 'so-and-so technology is just rubbish, it can't be used at all!' If he speaks in this way, then he will definitely go in and popularize science and educate this ignorant boy about what it means that there is no useless technology, only useless people.
But Carlos still replied: [Fool, you just wait to be beaten by Ian]
Grand Duke Bocaon hung up the call with Carlos, which was not very polite, but it was obviously the Emperor of the Western Empire who was impolite first. Many people always imagine how lofty the communication between the fifth level is, full of coercion, ancient honorifics, even the lost grammar of the pre-era civilization, or some grand proposition about the world and the future, but in reality, the fifth level is also a human being.
The communication between them, if not in front of other people, but just private conversations, was as simple, relaxed, gentle, friendly and pleasant.
After being hung up by the Grand Duke of Bocaon, Carlos thought about it, and waited until the day after Ian had completely ended all his visions in the Quiet Sea before contacting the other party and telling him all the thoughts of the Grand Duke of Bocaon.
[I've always felt that his emotional intelligence is a bit problematic, and he likes to be smart]
Carlos was honest with his thoughts: "But Bocaon is also a genius, and my father Axel has always wanted to solve the legacy of the Castle, but he never got a chance in his life - he really managed the Castle like a bucket]
[I know you will definitely be interested in your grandfather's inheritance, tell you, how to do it yourself]
"The 'core' that Inaga II handed over to Steep Castle?"
At this time, Ian, who had already returned to the Silver Peak Realm and tested his physical fitness after receiving the power of the Light Realm, couldn't help but be curious: "Inaga also pointed out the way forward of Junling Castle?" I don't really know that...... Axel obtained the Inaga memory bank, only the important events are relatively clear, and the others are skipped. โ
"Then again, you still have a private correspondence with Steep Castle? I only knew that the Elster family was a distant relative of Setar, but I didn't expect that you were sworn enemies on the surface, but in fact you had a good relationship? โ
"How did the Ridge Fort and the Empire split back then?"
[It's not better, this communication channel is scolding each other, after all, everyone doesn't want to fight, so they scold each other] Carlos said bluntly: [As for the separation...... It's actually quite simple]
[The Grand Dukes of the Empire are all high-level bloodlines that have once produced a fifth energy level, but do not have the blood of the top seat, and can only be achieved occasionally by genius and luck. They all have a very potential bloodline, so they are arrogant, and they always think that our Sethal royal family is lucky]
[The bloodline of the Elster family is the 'Thunder Vortex Spirit', a powerful bloodline of the wind and thunder system, which was also called the 'Heavenly Vortex Thunder Goose' back then......]
"Wait." Hearing this, Ian suddenly discovered a blind spot, and he interjected: "When I knew that the bloodline of Grand Duke Thorin was called the Luminous Bird by you, I was already a little confused, because that thing obviously has nothing to do with birds, but now I look at it...... Do you Setar royalty like to change the name of a bird in people's bloodlines to match your sun god bird? โ
[In short] Carlos did not pause because of Ian's interjection, but continued to say to himself: [At that time, they had the best relationship with our royal family of Setar, and there was even a prince who had awakened the blood of the sun god bird to join the Elster family, hoping that by adjusting the commonality of the two bloodlines in terms of electromagnetism, they would find a bloodline path for the Elster family that could lead to the fifth energy level]
[But unfortunately, this attempt failed.] The Thunder Vortex Spirit is the surging thunder light and wind spirit on the gas giant, although it is similar to the Sun God Bird, but it is still incompatible, and this attempt has also caused the bloodline of the Elster family's main vein to be 'polluted', and can only continue to lead back the bloodline from the side branches]
[Since then, there have been rumors that in order to weaken the strength of the Grand Dukes, my Sertal royal family polluted the bloodline of the Elster family under the pretext of improving the bloodline - it was really a fart, the main vein of his Elster family could not give birth to other children, and could only let the half-breed son pass on the matter of my Syetar family, it was their own inability! ใ
[But according to the results, this is a rumor that can't be refuted, to be honest, it's just that generation that has a really good relationship, and the next generation even wonders if his father really planned to do so, and even the fact that the Elster family has no other heirs is the result of the intervention of our Sun God Bird - if you really have this ability, the other bloodline families on the Terra continent don't want to have descendants]
[The truth is so, and as a result, the Duke of Peking gradually separated from the empire]
[But if that's the case, it's actually still going on]
[This fragile relationship lasted until the first Grand Duke of Junling Fort unearthed the 'Core of the Apocalypse']
