Chapter 19 The King's Promise
Caesar lowered his head, trying to calm his messy mind, and then slowly sorted out everything Elaine had saidβ
He is Caesar, a wind and thunder mage, who comes to the northern kingdom with Russell, the craftsman god, to investigate matters related to the "return journey" and "completeness". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The specific investigation process is very dangerous and exciting, but Elaine has limited knowledge, and she can't tell what the process is.
What is certain is that in the final stage of the investigation mission, he and Russell faced the Great Commander of the Northern Kingdom, and in the Black Wing Battle, the battle was turned upside down.
At the last moment, he broke through, or awakened something, his strength improved greatly, and his appearance, body, soul, and aura all changed.
Then, he may have noticed something that no one else was aware of, and no one knew what he had noticed, and Caesar himself had forgotten.
But at that time, I made a judgment that this matter should be difficult to deal with, very difficult.
Therefore, in order to deal with this matter or problem that even Caesar himself could not talk about at the moment, he chose to cut himself down, giving up his rank, energy, and even memory, and also in exchange for something more important.
As for what in exchange......
Elaine looked at Caesar and burst out of her lips a suffocatingly heavy word: "Rules." β
"Rules ......," Caesar was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Even if I lose my memory, I still have an impression of such a thing as rules." Isn't that something that can only be touched on by a legend?" said Caesar, spreading his hands, "I think I'm like this, like a legend?"
Elaine also smiled and said meaningfully, "Caesar, you don't have to rush to clear up the fact that you have the power of rules. You are still wary of me, I can understand that. But you know very well in your heart, is there any other explanation for what can allow you to defeat the members of the Bauhinia Army and the Northern Commander with a wave of your hand in a state of no rank and no energy?"
Caesar was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Indeed, what other power in this world can explain this series of incredible things besides the legendary rules.
Elaine is really smart, and those eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts.
She deliberately turned her gaze away from Caesar, and said in an understated tone: "As for why you have the rules, why you are so strong, all kinds of secrets on you, and ...... What is your identity, what is your origin, who are you -- these are questions that I will not touch. β
Caesar's heart sank, and after learning that he had the rules, Caesar did think about the question of why he had the rules, why he was so strong, and who he was. and the trouble that these problems may bring to themselves after being known by others. Unexpectedly, Elaine didn't wait for Caesar to speak, and directly expressed such a state.
"Since you don't touch any of these questions, how can you be sure that one day I won't become an enemy?" asked Caesar.
"Oh, I'm not sure. Elaine smiled calmly and beautifully, "I only know that since the person who sent me to answer you did not mention this, it means that in his judgment, none of these problems are problems. If he doesn't think it's a problem, I won't ask more. β
"Someone who told you to answer me......" Caesar frowned slightly, "Someone from the Moon Chamber of Commerce?"
According to what Elaine just said, the reason why he and Russell were able to penetrate deep into the northern country was thanks to the support of the Moon Chamber of Commerce, which should be a dark chess piece planted by Earth Street in the Battle Dynasty.
To Caesar's question, Elaine just shrugged her shoulders and didn't want to say more.
To be honest, Caesar felt that everything Elaine had said so far should be credible, and no one could make up such an unbelievable thing out of thin air.
But Caesar is not gullible towards the world in his bones, which may be related to his upbringing before he met Phoenix.
So to say that to let go of scruples and wariness and walk with Elaine, Caesar can't do it.
Of course, with vigilance and reservations, Caesar was still happy to negotiate and communicate with both sides.
The current thinking is actually very simple, first, what Elaine said about her voluntary sacrifice of rank and memory in exchange for the rules can be believed. Second, Elaine said that she would not explore Caesar's secrets, which Caesar believed for the time being, but would never let his guard down completely.
So there's really only one question left --
"With all that said, what is your purpose in sneaking all the way to the north to meet me?" Caesar asked, smiling, looking Elaine in the eye.
A look of appreciation flashed in Elaine's eyes, in her eyes, the young man in front of her was able to go straight to the current point without being too entangled in so many questions, which was actually quite a manifestation of courage.
If you change to someone else, lose your memory, and suddenly run out and say a lot of things that can't be verified 100%, I'm afraid you will take care of one thing and lose the other, and think a lot.
Caesar was different, and it was evident from the look in his eyes that he was really putting aside what he had and didn't for the time being.
Since Caesar was so straightforward and decisive, Elaine didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The Second Civil War is now officially started, and the form of the south is not very good, I hope you can help." β
Caesar laughed, "Although I was originally going to the south, if I remember correctly, you just said that I am now a wanted person in the Empire." β
Elaine shook her head and said, "It's not for you to help the empire, but to help the south." β
"Is there a difference?"
"Absolutely. Elaine said, "You and Russell came to the north to investigate, this matter has nothing to do with the Imperial Military Department, I asked you on behalf of Earth Street." You must know that the Wind Thunder Empire is indeed the leader of the south, but it is not all of the south. Helping the Empire, and Helping the South, are two different concepts. β
"So you're here to woo me to join Earth Street?" Caesar understood a little, glanced at Cassadine in the distance wearing an Imperial military uniform, and continued, "Earth Street came to woo me, how could there be people from the Imperial Military Department traveling with me?"
Elaine said: "Cassadine and Green Eyes are not here on behalf of the empire and the military department, they are only here on behalf of female generals, this is another matter, I can leave it ...... for the time being."
Speaking of this, Elaine paused for a moment and said in an aggravated tone: "And I want to correct one point, it's not that I want to win you into joining Earth Street to play for our Earth Street." At this point, the person who sent me the message specifically told me to make it clear to you that I should answer you and trust you unconditionally, that this is the judgment of that person, and I will not interfere. And I, that person, also gave me the right to judge, and in another matter, I can completely call the shots, and that person will not interfere. β
"Your judgment?" Caesar was stunned, "judging what?"
"Judge you. Elaine's expression at this moment was extremely solemn, "Your strength, your ability, your potential, your ...... In all respects, I will look at them in the coming days. And in the end, if my judgment is to approve of you completelyβ"
Elaine stopped again.
The air seemed to freeze.
After a long pause, Elaine took a deep breath and said in a sonorous voice: "-- Earth Street, I will honor you as king." β
Caesar: "......!"
......
......
Desert oasis.
As the largest city in the vicinity of the Black Wing War, and the second largest city in the entire Battle Dynasty, the Desert Oasis is to the North what Phoenix is to the South.
It's just that this once prosperous and extravagant city is now empty, empty, like a dead city.
Like Black Wing, the Desert Oasis has been emptied, as have all the cities and villages around Black Wing, forming a no-man's land.
The headquarters of the Moon Chamber of Commerce has grown many weeds.
A few wild cats roamed leisurely past, and these fearful creatures probably didn't know that there was actually a person standing next to them, less than two meters away.
The president of the Moon Chamber of Commerce was standing in front of the gate of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters that was empty except for him at the moment, his face was a little sad and a little embarrassed.
This man had chosen to join the battle with three of his most powerful men in the final battle of the Black Wing War.
Now the three subordinates are gone, and only the president is left.
The Moon Chamber of Commerce was also empty in a short period of time, all the chamber of commerce properties were taken over by the dynasty's top management, and all the chamber of commerce personnel were also subject to strict investigation.
And this man, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, disappeared from the sight of all battle mages.
To put it simply, the Moon Chamber of Commerce, the dark chess piece planted in the northern country by Earth Street, has been exposed and does not exist.
Now all that is left is the president of the Moon Chamber of Commerce alone.
"It's still a little sad, watching the Chamber of Commerce that I built up single-handedly just throw away from my hands. The man took a bottle of wine from his bosom, sat down on the spot with a grin, and now poured some in front of him, before raising his glass and drinking it.
"But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter, anyway, the main body of the Chamber of Commerce is still composed of battle mages, and there are only a few people who really know the true face of the Moon Chamber of Commerce except me. β
"Hmph, those battle mages, probably can't even think of the president they admire, in fact, they are not battle mages at all! Of course, I'm not a wind and thunder mage, I'm not a person from this world at all......"
"It's just a pity that the three of you, follow me, obscure for a lifetime, and in the end I couldn't take you back to your hometown, but let you die under the fist of the Great Commander. β
"You ...... You won't blame me. β
"Okay, it's definitely weird, I'm the boss but I'm going to die with you, how can I not blame me?"
The man was a little drunk, and he didn't know what kind of wine he was drinking, and it was so strong.
But he didn't mean to stop, and he was still gulping. He was hanging on to the three men who had followed him in the battle of the Black Wing without hesitation.
All three were dead.
When the last drop of the bottle was drunk, the man lay on his back to the ground, drunkenly looking at the southern sky.
"I miss you so much, Elaine. β
The man said softly.
"I still have a reason to stay in the north, so I can't go back for the time being. As for the southern side, I trust your judgment, and the rest is up to you. β
The one who sent the message to Elaine was naturally the president of the Moon Chamber of Commerce.
But in fact, he only sent a message for Elaine to quickly answer Caesar, and did not mention any more follow-up matters.
In other words, the promise of honoring Caesar as king has nothing to do with men.
From the beginning of the promise of the king, it has been Elaine's own judgment. (To be continued.) )
