"That's right, that's him, it's complicated to be alone, and even more so than not, he's a little monster...... Although he is just threatening those two people this time, hostages are difficult to deal with, when others threaten you with hostages, you can only use the simplest means to express that hostages are not important, in order to truly ensure the safety of the hostages,"

The girl's voice slowly faded, but Strand's laughter began, "I'm sure he'll do his best to get the best out of me." But I also don't doubt that he will do that if necessary. Because that's the kind of person he is. ”

"But...... But isn't he your friend?" the girl's eyes widened at this answer.

"Yes, he is my friend, good friend. ”

The girl's question made Stran stunned, and her smile was a little bitter. "But, after all, it's a friend, Leila, you know, friends are only based on mutual benefit, and you can't expect a friend to do anything for you all the time. ”

"So, he shouldn't be a qualified friend, right?" the maid bit her lip: "I know that there are many kinds of friends, but the best one, shouldn't it be for the other party to bear anything?" ”

"Let's just say that although friends can stick knives in each other's ribs, it is also based on the premise that you will not betray, if you can't help your friend when he is in trouble, or even make trouble for him, then how much point does your friend have?"

Strand's smile slowly gathered: "Friendship can indeed be overdrawn, but it can't be overdrawn indefinitely." ”

After a pause, he said softly: "In this world, no one will selflessly dedicate themselves to others, only my mother will do that. The rest, whether it's love, friendship, loyalty, or whatever, has a purpose, and maybe that purpose can be insignificant, but it's not insignificant. No matter who it is, they have a bottom line of their own...... Or rather, the price code. That's what Edward once told me. He said. As long as the price you pay is big enough, there is nothing strong enough in this world to be unaffected. ’”

"But in this way, don't we have a chance to run into great trouble, if Mentor Edinson pursues him, he will definitely think that you have something to do with Viscount Edward. What if he makes the wrong decision in a fit of rage?"

"yes...... What's the way about it, our power. It's simply not enough to be involved. We are just pawns. The only way to do this is to try to become chess players, even if we can control it. ”

The young prince sighed.

"It's gratifying that you seem to have broken new ground in your strength. ”

Thomas Edinson looked Edward up and down. A gentle smile on his face – genuine enough to warm his heart. Although the Vice-Teacher's Qiē was nothing more than a false illusion composed of distorted light and shadow emanating from a gem, the jewel ornament was clearly a powerful magic item that was extremely well-made. Now that Pandor's amulet is high in the sky, the image of the sub-mentor can still be transmitted vividly, and even the subtle wrinkles on the robes are vivid.

"Where, it's just a small achievement. ”

Edward only casually greeted the other party's sincerity, and without even looking at the apparition of the sub-mentor, he sat down straight from a spot in the tent, picked up a bottle of wine next to him, pulled the cork on it, smelled it, and poured himself a glass.

His natural presumptuous attitude made the man and woman who followed him turn violently, and Rose Black couldn't help but want to open her mouth to scold, but before she could speak, those silver eyes had already swept over her.

It seemed to be just a casual glance, but it made the female leader of the national mage tremble—the two silver dots of luster seemed to have become two needles nailed to her mind from the beginning, and as long as they were touched slightly, it would bring a sharp pain to the bone!

"If this is just a small achievement, then I really don't know how to deal with my wasted thirty years. Thomas laughed, "But Your Excellency, I've heard that you seem to have some kind of friction with the temple of Ransendel?"

Edward's eyes narrowed, allowing the faint cold light to flicker away.

"For a moment, they built a temple in my territory for no reason, but you know, my personal god of the dawn has a so-called justice, haha, and I don't have any good feelings. He snorted: "My territory is just a grass creation, and the funds are not abundant......"

Of course, Edward would not expect this evasive answer to prevaricate the other party's doubts, after all, the fact that he was hostile to the Temple of Dawn was actually not an absolute secret at this stage - although he had made some necessary cover-ups in the previous attempts to destroy the Temple of Ransendel, but for a genuine ** Division, this is not impossible to appear, and that Rudolph has enough time and reason to investigate the strange events that are inexplicably put on top of the heads of the Demon Wolf Legion.

Moreover, the other party does not need to really confirm the authenticity of this matter, as long as there is doubt, it is enough.

However, there is a saying that it is better to be known than seen.

It's one thing for this guy to know, but Edward admits it's something else. Just like the other party has a certain understanding of the kingship in his hands, but Edward can still choose to die and not admit it, unless the other party can come up with strong evidence.

"No, no, no, you don't need to answer anything, I don't want to get an answer to this question...... Whether it's the outcome of the accidents in the occupied cities, or in the Lansendel church in Tumenis, it's your own business. ”

Somewhat unexpectedly, Thomas shook his head, stopped someone's boring explanation, and then gave him an unusually generous assurance: "Your affirmative answer is enough, and what I want to say is, I." can fully support your actions. ”

"What do you mean?" Edward's heart moved, but the calmness on his face was even more confused.

"I can support your actions in exchange for some help from you. ”

"I don't understand. ”

Putting down the wine glass in his hand and smiling lightly, the telemancer stared at the red figure: "What kind of action do you mean by action?Or Deputy Mentor Thomas, I think you have misunderstood something, right? There is only a small friction between me and His Majesty Lansendel's temple, besides, how can I question His Majesty Lansender because of the problems of some local temples? It is a high god!"

That relaxed and innocent expression. The female mage and the Marquis of the Demon Wolf who were standing quietly on one side couldn't help but glance at each other, and then cursed in unison in their hearts - this damn little bastard is simply playing tricks, even if it is as clear as what is in front of him, he is still unwilling to take even the slightest responsibility!

Or, rightfully so...... Because of the purpose of this damn imp. It was so terrible—was he going to provoke a god?

How is this possible?

The two of them. For this guy named Edward. They all knew that when they met Rudolph, the Psychic Warlock was just an apprentice to magic, and Rose Black was one of the first to witness his arrival—and that's why they did

With that little imp who has only been exposed to magic for a few months, can the power of one person make such great progress in such a short period of time?

"Okay. I see what you mean. ”

Thomas was also unimpressed by the slickness of the Psychic Warlock: "The gods are high, and although they are always right, it is not the gods who support the temple. It's people. It is not surprising that the appearance of silverfish in the temples in some places is not a surprising thing, and if Your Excellency the Marquis wishes to correct such an injustice, I will naturally not hesitate to help me. ”

"Yes, it's just a problem with some local temples, not a big problem. Edward smiled slightly, no longer beating around the bush - "I'm more curious about your purpose. ”

"My purpose? It's not that I can't reveal it to you, in fact, as you should have guessed, yes, I have a goal I want to accomplish......" Thomas's smile was equally calm and gentle, "and in the process, I need a lot of souls." ”

"World domination?"

"Hahaha...... Good sense of humor, Count Vincent, but alas, you and I are well aware of how ridiculous this answer is, and I have no interest in overturning the knowledge base that a mage should have," Thomas just laughed disapprovingly at the man's interruption and malicious speculation, and his voice seemed unpretentious: "I don't think I have the power to do what even the gods can't do." ”

"So, what are your plans for His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Edward smiled, if he just looked at his expression, no one would suspect that the psychic warlock was being infected by the other party's affection, and gradually became happy: "After you have achieved your goal?"

"Oh, Your Highness, Prince, I know that you and he are friends at first sight, and that it is a virtue to care for a friend, but I must point out that your question is somewhat strange. "Thomas straightened up.

He raised his head, his gaze seemed to fall on the distant horizon, and his slow tone became a little ethereal, but it seemed to have some kind of affection:

"I have a lot of goals, mostly for myself, but I also have some expectations. Your Excellency the Earl. ”

"I hope that this situation of human strife on the Big 6 will be ended, and I hope that such a stupid war will not happen again. I think that about the country, about all the human beings on this Big 6, they need a wise and wise king. And there is no doubt that our Highness, with such qualities, will bring an unprecedented life, a peaceful and stable life to this human being on the Big 6. Therefore, I also hope that he will be able to be"

The voices in the tabernacle fell silent for a moment.

The man and woman standing quietly on one side raised their heads at the same time, their eyes flickering. And Edward raised his eyebrows, and then gently stroked his palm:

"What a great deed, and your generosity, I am a little embarrassed, Your Excellency. He said, "It's rare in the world that one person can do this." I thought it was only outside of the main material plane, in that almost infinite plane, that there was such a ......"

What like that?

It seems a little hard to describe...... Edward's gaze rested on the national mage, and the young leader of the demon wolf. The genuine adoration on their faces made the Psychic Warlock feel like he had really come up against a formidable opponent - two men who were not absolutely intelligent people who could be deceived by such stupid rhetoric...... It can only be said that the red-robed old monster in front of him has completely controlled their heads.

At least for him there is no suspicion, absolute loyalty.

"Your Excellency, you have praised it, this is just my personal dream. It's not great. ”

Thomas nodded slightly, as if he didn't know that the telemancer's 'almost infinite plane beyond the main physical plane' was referring to the infamous bottomless abyss: "But actually, for me. Our Royal Highness the Prince is undoubtedly the best person to unify this country. ”

Other words. What he needs is a superficial name to start a war. And in terms of results, he only needs his soul, and he can leave the rest of the defeated territory, thrones and the like, all of which he can leave to James.

Finding the truth from those hypocritical words is a nasty game. But at this moment, you can only play according to this rule.

Thankfully, if that's all there is, it's a good deal. After all, even if he needed more souls, he shouldn't be able to kill the entire Big 6 - if that were the case, things wouldn't need Edward to worry about, because it would already be a cataclysm that the gods needed to consider.

But is that really the case?

"War...... Although war is indeed cruel and disgusting, for Tuminis, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, in order to complete the great rejuvenation of the motherland, a war is inevitable after all, whether it is for the people or the emperor, it does not need much hesitation. ”

Thomas said, seemingly helplessly:

"I know it's not easy to convince you of this, but I think you should know that it's not difficult for me to become a king, it's just that it's a very meaningless thing for me at all, and I don't need to expend such strength if it's just to achieve my own ** - in fact, I can even start a civil war after mastering a few nobles in the whole country, whether it's easy or because of the density, it's a good way to go far beyond a national war, isn't it?"

"yes......"

Edward nodded slightly, but there was only a sigh in his heart-if it weren't for the interference of the two ** divisions, how could you choose such a troublesome path of copying puppets?

However, this also seems to prove from one aspect that what this ** master said is not false.

"Interesting answer, but what can I get out of it?"

"Our power is limited, Marquis Vincent. Together, there are two benefits, and there are two evils, this is a proverb from another big 6 in the distance. Thomas shook his head: "It means that cooperation always leads to better results, otherwise our goals will always be unnecessarily hindered and cannot be accomplished." And cooperation is beneficial to both parties. ”

I have to say that for today's Edward, the conditions proposed by this guy are indeed very attractive,

To induce the advent of the Dawn God, Edward would have to destroy the very roots of his faith on a massive scale, and destroy his mass base—and to do so, it seems that the strength of the thousands of soldiers at his disposal is not enough.

Now that the war has begun, the support of a country is undoubtedly much stronger than acting alone.

So, what about the danger?

It's not surprising that he wants to exchange for his own support, in the previous few days of fighting, his mage regiment followed behind Edward's army, and at least tens of thousands of superior souls were brought in, in this world, when it comes to weapons of mass destruction, I'm afraid there is nothing at the moment that can be compared to the psychic warlocks who control another weapon idea.

The question is, what does he want so many souls for?

There are too many souls, they are one of the most primitive energy sources in this multiverse, whether it is a god or the most powerful part of the devil or demon, they can rely on faith to increase their power, and the source of faith is the soul, in addition, Edward has heard that in the lower realms of this world- At the intersection of hell and abyss and Heavenly Mountain, there is a war going on all the time, endlessly, demons, angels and demons are investing countless forces in trying to overwhelm each other, and in this war that is rumored to have spread almost to the entire multiverse, the soul is the source of all soldiers.

"Ah, speaking of which,"

Even though it was just an image of nothingness, the moment Edward's gaze met the silver ring, an inexplicable throbbing was transmitted from his left hand.

Undoubtedly, it was a fragment of royal power,——
