The day after Chen Zhou arrived in Lionheart City, he was summoned by the Emperor.

The Star Folk were forbidden to have contact with the ruler, and the guards were not allowed to penetrate into the opponent's inner court, so he was the only one to be guided to the meeting hall.

Theoretically, it would be extremely rude to use a magical creation as a stand-in to meet the emperor, but Chen Zhou thought that the other party should have gotten used to it.

After traversing courtyards dotted with unknown wildflowers blooming in the Northlands, he meets alone the rumored Emperor Orkan, who is already on the verge of death.

Unlike Robert, who was still in his forties and fifties, Orkan, who was close to his age, looked very weak with atrophied muscles, gray hair, and dull eyes.

It is said that the other party's current state is due to the fact that he worked too hard in the original unification war and was seriously injured, and the priest of this plane is not good enough to completely heal all the damage - even the "regeneration technique" that can recover the broken internal organs and mutilated limbs (including the head) is the 7-ring spell.

Even the "Regeneration Technique" or even the "Complete Resurrection Technique" of the 9 Rings cannot cure natural aging and death.

At the end of the day, a warrior or similar profession is a battle that squeezes and overdraws one's body and life, and each heavy injury, near-death, or eruption simultaneously compromises the upper limit of life.

Therefore, it is natural that the stronger the warrior, the faster they age/die.

Just like those who have won Olympic gold medals, when their fleeting short careers are over, overdrafts and hidden dangers caused by the way they exercise in a particular event will continue to torment the retired athletes for forever.

Sprinting, weightlifting...... This is especially true of projects that are physically destructive, and even after retiring from the sport, they don't even coach properly.

An Olympic gold medal can be worth tens of thousands, a house, or nothing, and even selling it can't improve a life with no way out.

Just as Old Setan, who had finally been promoted to Rank 2 on his deathbed, still died last winter, there was no inevitable connection between strength and longevity.

The growth of knowledge and the enhancement of ability usually do not change one's physical ability or tap one's potential.

Although the physique of a powerful warrior is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is the product of daily training.

Once you have been hit hard, you have passed middle age, and you stop exercising, the problems that were once covered up will begin to come to the fore...... The caster will instead become more powerful.

※After all, since middle age, the buckle force sensitive body, plus wisdom charm.

Unless it is beyond mortal creatures......

"I've admired my name for a long time, Orkan."

Rumors of the old emperor's dying life did spread throughout the steppe, even to the point that many people became suspicious.

"Or your reputation is better." The old lion man sitting in the courtyard slowly raised his head and looked at each other with godless eyes, "A path walker with the power of myths, who is expected to become a legendary warlock, and even the power of the outer realm is willing to help you. ”

"Life is really full of all kinds of accidents and coincidences, but it's a pity that I met you a little late, otherwise I would have to invite you to plant the body of the tree of life in the grassland."

As a result, can anyone with a head and a face see the power of mythology?

Chen Zhou was dumbfounded, after all, the Goldmane Clan was in front of the imperial capital, so he went to Robert first.

"I still prefer to stay where it's cool."

"That's right, after all, you're a tiger man."

With that, the emperor looked up at the sky and said no more.

In the past, Olkan and other tribes had always maintained his energy after a day and a night, but now he felt tired even after a few words.

"What do you think is the problem facing the grassland now?"

After being silent for a long time, the other party suddenly threw out such a headless question.

"Maybe it won't be long before the world ends." Chen directly said something, "In my opinion, this half-plane is basically hopeless, and the entire plane may go to heaven together in a year or two." ”

The old lion man was speechless for a while, indeed, nothing was worth mentioning in the face of the crisis of extinction.

"It turns out that the problems outside have become so serious during my bedriddenness?"

After a pause, Orkan continued: "The safety of the half-plane is indeed important, and at the same time, the ongoing civil strife in the steppes has arisen as a result. ”

Orkan spent most of his life trying to unify the steppe and bring the tribes and tribes together.

But as a result, as his strength declined, all his efforts were in vain.

"The world is too fragile and too small, only enough to accommodate three or four countries on a continent, so that all the contradictions cannot be hidden.

"Although there are no restrictions on professions such as warriors, no spellcaster can reach the sixth order, so no one can have absolute power and absolute right to speak.

"At the end of the day, no matter how hard you try, you will have to start all over again decades later, and the endless strife will be repeated."

In short, the conditions in this world are not enough for any country to become a "nuclear state".

The royal power cannot last, and the divine power is difficult to reach.

Even if a country at its peak is temporarily ended, it will still be weakened, corrupted, divided, and eventually renewed.

Hearing this, Chen Zhou fell silent.

Before he came, he had imagined what kind of person the dying old emperor was, but he didn't expect it to be a person who was thinking about ending the troubled times?

It's a pity that even "nuclear deterrence" will eventually fail.

He traveled through the world where the former superpowers competed in economy, technology, discourse, and influence.

The ancient Holy Lauland Empire on Asta's side is full of nuclear bombs (legends), and even if the quasi-god comes, he can't eat and walk around.

In the end, it wasn't "everyone exploded together!" Leaving such a mess that has not been repaired to this day.

Hearing this, Olkan smiled a little sluggishly.

"Isn't this the last emperor of the empire and all the heirs suddenly all died overnight?

"Before that, Asta had a thousand years of peace and unity.

"In other words, as long as there is a strong enough person and country to be stronger than all the others combined, the strife between the various ethnic groups can be completely ended."

At one point, Olkan thought he would be that man, but there were limits to the warriors.

Either a Divine Profession or an Arcane Professional.

Either way, only the caster can have power over mortals.

"Olkan, you don't mean to say ......"

There must be one...... King Witchmeow?

"There must be a strong man with absolute voice to rule Asta, otherwise the curse from the Holy Laurent Empire will bring all races and countries to the end of the strife!"

It snowed all night, and I coughed all night, and I had a little fever...... After taking medicine for a day, it should be better tomorrow.
