Chapter Ninety-Five: Equivalent Exchange

As the head of a country, Lucifer Lestus has always read and studied ancient historical books, which are naturally treasured by the kingdom of Lestus.

The king's words also made Mogan think deeply.

As the oldest and most powerful ancient kingdom among the four surviving kingdoms, the kingdom of Lestus is coveted for its texts, which is one of the reasons why scholars from all walks of life want to apply for admission.

"I don't want to create conflicts, and I don't care about the trivial matters of finding candidates...... Unless it's easy. But after discovering Austin Clare's lineage, I realized that Lestus's account was different from the facts, and it may not be fair. ”

Although he was talking about the loopholes in his country's chronicle, the king of Lestus was quite frank, only with a solemn expression and no reservations between his words.

"The combination of different ethnic groups is generally not able to produce offspring, and most of the births are stillborn. According to you, it is not surprising that Austen's half-breed is not surprising, after all, there are similar origins. ”

"Offense interjects......" Mogan raised an embarrassed eyebrow, "you should know thisβ€”about me being a Terran with half-dragon blood, or a dragon with Terran blood. ”

Humans and dragons do not always possess what the Kurans call "similar sources."

"It's another thing if you're different. All in all, in what I've read, merfolk are indeed the product of the evolution of the Kuran people, but the merfolk are different. They are the descendants of wisdom and the weapons of the gods. ”

"Weapons?"

God's Weapon, and ...... Kraken.

It was a ferocious beast that wreaked havoc on all parts of the sea, especially in the western sea, and capsized ships in hordes.

Lacking in wisdom, but powerful with strength and huge body is terrifying.

Because of this, whether or not you can kill the Kraken in the dangerous sea is also an important criterion to measure the strength of the fleet.

It must be said that their habits are indeed almost the same as those of the mermaids. However, the Kraken itself is also one of the mimics of the Kuran tribe, who are also sea creatures, and it is normal to be similar to them.

At the same time, Mogan's mind instantly recalled the gags within the Blue Eagle Pirates when Lucifer was "wholesale wands" before.

At that time, in response to Melissa's surprise and suspicion about her wand preferences, Austin expressed her displeasure with the Kraken Fishbone Staff presented by the two Lilliputian pirates, and then spoke like this.

"Whenever you fight with people's bones and smash people with skull loads, I'll be able to take that staff!"

No matter how you look at it, there is some deep meaning in this statement.

"It's just a small flaw, it doesn't really mean anything, and there can be many other explanations, but there is a little coincidence, and I can't ignore it."

Lucifer slowly looked up, his expression solemn, and his gaze went straight to Mogan.

"It has been three thousand five hundred and four years since the establishment of the kingdom of Lestus. You don't have a record of the birth of the mermaid and the merman, but what I have seen is described. ”

Mogan held his breath.

Two people are still standing on the edge of the beach.

The wind is blowing the waves, and the beach that has just been soaked by the rain has returned to its former dry appearance, and even the dense footprints have been washed away by the high tide.

As the sun sets, the entire sea level is dyed a golden yellow.

In the mountains and forests in the distance, the canopies of the trees swayed, the branches and leaves swayed, and occasionally a few birdsong or animal roars were heard, with echoing aftersounds.

This is what Lestus has been saying for a long time. Although it may not be the original text, it has included as many points as possible. ”

Lucifer's eyes twinkled, and he snatched words out of his mind and whispered them.

"'The merfolk are not satisfied with the gift of magic, and are more greedy for the divine power to control the weather, and are cursed for it. It all happened at the beginning of the kingdom, and the most honorable messenger in the world wrote down the cause. ’”

The most honorable messenger in the world.

In the important books of the kingdom of Lestus, the object of this description can naturally only be one person.

Mo was reluctant to move.

"So, you mean ......"

"Every generation of kings or queens of the kingdom of Lestus has been both a mage and a leader like meβ€”not necessarily with the same magical powers as me, but it is."

Lucifer nodded.

"If your understanding is correct, the situation will go down according to the best possible situation, and the culprit who transformed the merfolk and caused the Kuran to disappear may be the first king of the kingdom of Lestus."

Even if it was the predecessor of his predecessors, Lucifer's face did not change color in the slightest,

It's like not talking about a divided civilization, but just idle, talking about other people's housework.

Seeing the king's expression, Mogan also flashed this image in his mind:

The Kulan tribe was sent to the palace in the form of a half-human, and the learned mage who called himself the messenger next to the throne smiled confidently, and stepped forward to preside over the transformation, revealing the face of Lucifer Lestus.

- It's not that Lucifer looks like a bad guy, it's mainly that this is really "from the same source".

Truth be told, Mogan didn't know how he should react.

Being too calm may have a reason to look down on the blockbuster news, but the reaction is too intense, and I always feel that it will not seem too pompous.

Still, Mogan thought of a countermeasure.

"So, what do you think?"

Shifting contradictions is an eternal and unchanging classic way of dealing with them.

Before Mogan could be complacent about his thoughts, Lucifer took the initiative to end the topic.

"All in all, I'm going to take advantage of the years I've been away to check that some of the accounts of Lestus are correct. So Grande, it's your turn to tell me what it takes for you to cooperate with my plan? ”

Hearing this, Mogan gave the king a deep look.

Lucifer was also keenly aware of this, for fear that Mogan would suddenly regret it again.

- It's just that Mogan seems to be able to read minds, and immediately dispels his doubts.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to go back. Just knowing your other purpose has made some changes to my chips. ”

Lucifer hadn't let go of this breath yet, "And what do you mean?" ”

"The initial quid pro quo was a metaphor, but it still works – since you use 'deal' to describe it, I can communicate with you in a more 'businessman' way, if I don't mind."

Lucifer bowed his head to confirm his proposal.

"First of all, there is no conflict of interest between my current purpose and your plan. Second, it is unknown whether the ultimate killer result will be achieved. ”

Mogan stretched out two fingers and paused in the air for a moment, giving him enough time to react and let the special negotiator in front of him understand clearly.

According to His Majesty the King, it naturally consists of two parts.

The first is to learn from Lucifer, starting with the aforementioned "Interrupt Spell Casting" and studying ways to fight against the strongest mages.

The second is the real practical step, and the king himself cannot determine the outcome. The main purpose is to kill people - to be a temporary killer with a definite target and an unknown time.

Now Mogan can indeed accept Lucifer's so-called "kill him" proposal, unlike in the past, when he immediately retreated because the result of the second step might involve the shadow in his heart.

Because he found a problem.

It's so simple that it can be shortened to one sentence: the mage may be too strong, and he is still too weak.

Even if he has the blood of a dragon, the talent of a warrior, the endowment of a mage, and wisdom that surpasses ordinary people...... And a lot of money that doesn't go out much.

But that's not really the power of insurance.

It's a world of magic.

Although it is not respected as a mage, and it is accompanied by all kinds of tragedies and shortcomings, no one can deny that on the twin continents, magic is largely a part of the construction of this world.

An indispensable part.

If you want to prevent yourself from losing your life or wealth due to irresistible magic, you can become someone who can deal with the most powerful all-powerful mage.

Although it is quite risky, and in Mogan's opinion, the success rate needs to be improved, but it is indeed a method.

Maybe maybe even the only way.

"As for the next point, I'm afraid it's a little more than you expected. What has always made me think hard and difficult to choose is not the bargaining chips you have to pay, but the price I have to pay. ”

Lucifer's eyes widened.

Rao is also unable to understand how the extremely shrewd Mogan Grande could dig a hole for himself and think of conditions for himself.

The wizarding king of the kingdom of Lestus clearly threw out the temptation of great profits, and in this case, Mogan chose not to accept this gift again, but to find out what price he would pay.

Isn't this nothing to do?

But how much ill-intentioned intentions are mixed in, only Mogan himself knows for the time being.

"You have to look into the history of the possible errors in the account of Lestus. But this kind of negotiation is very difficult for you. And the price I offer is to have me as a 'guide' to help you achieve this unconditionally. ”

At this time, Mogan quietly changed his honorific title while continuing to give some explanations.

The point is that it is not completely against his will, and the right balance is just enough for His Majesty the King to understand and be more convinced.

Mogan's eyes were like torches, looking directly at Lucifer, who was seeking a reliable answer, and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Lestus, I am a businessman, and I am good at fair trade rather than unearned. Estimating the price code is also my strong point - the teachings of the strongest mage are much rarer than the task of being a 'killer'. ”
