Section 116 The Moving Castle (II)
"Otherwise, your choice is definitely to kill me directly, and you won't go to such great lengths to give me a chance to speak. ** Solomon gave his reasoning.
David rubbed the fat on his chin, then patted his fat hand and said with a smile: "Smart, you guessed well." If it weren't for that, I'd just kill you, why bother with it. It has awakened and grows as you grow, and even if it kills you, it will automatically look for the next host. Of course, that doesn't mean I can't imprison it temporarily, which is why I came here myself. But if you kill you, you have to trouble my old man to keep staring at this piece of stinky meat for a long time, or even a lifetime, it will always be a very troublesome thing. โ
Solomon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the other party was a little unexpected to him, but finally did not lose and only left his underwear.
"Besides, if you kill me, there will be other troubles. Solomon weighed the words and said that the chip had to be carefully pushed out, reminding the other party, but at the same time not provoking the other party.
"Oh, what's the trouble?" asked David, casually, as if slightly curious.
"You should know that not long ago there was a plane war in Asturias, in Yugudral. โ
"You know, you know, there's still a war going on in Faroucion. โ
"Yes, before that war, I was nothing more than an insignificant pawn for the kingdom. But now that my importance has increased, I am now the Count of Asturias, and more importantly, my relationship with the Orcs and Dwarves, and I have a resource in my hands that is vital to the kingdom. If something happens to me, the kingdom's fair will be affected to some extent. There will be a lot of detours. And now the external environment of the kingdom does not allow for too many mistakes. So I'm important to the Kingdom now. If you kill me, you will definitely be in trouble, and if it is not enough to destroy the Miรจ Hidden Alliance, it will be enough to force you to leave the Asturian sphere of influence for a long time. โ
David didn't speak, he touched the soft flesh under his chin, and Arthur next to him snorted coldly, "Even if you are really so important, you can't threaten us." The Hidden Alliance has survived in the underworlds of various countries for hundreds of years, and our roots are far deeper than you think. Just like this time, we didn't kidnap you and easily moved you out of the city. โ
"You hear it all. David spoke, and although he said with a smile, his words were not at all kind, "Although Arthur's words just now underestimated you a little, well, according to the information I have, it seems that your position in Asturias is indeed beyond our expectations. But what you just said is not enough. Even if the Hidden Alliance withdraws from Asturias for a long time, it may not be worth the risk of allowing the "seed" to awaken and grow. โ
David's meaning is clear. Killing Solomon, while it may provoke a full-scale suppression of the Hidden Alliance by Asturias, will certainly not be acceptable to any Terran nation.
If the dark forces of the underworld dared to kill a dignitary of the kingdom in such an obvious way, even if it was an upstart who had just begun to attract attention, it would be a stern provocation.
This will make most of the nobles in the kingdom feel insecure, so it will inevitably invite a counterattack from the kingdom's forces.
No matter how deep the roots of the Hidden Alliance are, they will not be able to compete with all of Asturias, and even the Dark Council will not be willing to confront it head-on, because that will only attract the support of other countries for this position.
Whether it is the Hidden Alliance, or the more powerful Dark Council behind them, although it also has the support of legendary powerhouses, it is still only an underworld level magnified by a thousand times.
No matter how powerful the underworld is, it can only be dominated by drug lords like Mexico, but when will they be able to shake the real power?
Therefore, if Solomon dies, the Hidden Alliance, at least in Asturias, will be taken seriously and attacked like never before, and it is very likely that all the true bloods will have to withdraw from this kingdom to avoid the limelight for a while.
This must be very uneconomical for the Hidden Alliance, because not only do countries have borders between countries, but the gray and black forces in the underworld also have their borders, and it is your business to withdraw from Asturias, but it doesn't mean that you can come to me to plant the flag.
If the Hidden Alliance marries out of Asturias, it will definitely cause turmoil and even war in other regions, which is not in line with the purpose of the Hidden Alliance, and it will be the price to pay.
But David said that this price cannot be equated with allowing the "seed" in the flesh and blood to continue to grow.
"It doesn't seem to make you change your mind. Solomon sighed.
"There's no way around it, and I don't want to. The fat man spread his hands, like a frustrated merchant, not at all like a prince of the blood clan, and spoke as if it were not Solomon's life or death, but as if he was sorry to refuse a deal that made him a little excited.
"It's really not enough, if you can come up with a few more reasons to convince me. David said with a sad face, "Actually, I really don't want to waste my strength to imprison it after killing you." But if one day Phil uses it to come to Keos, most likely it will be going to trouble us, and we have to think about it. โ
"What if the above reasons add that I have a good teacher?" Solomon sighed deeply, and then suddenly said sharply, "My teacher is Strauss the Dragon Slayer. โ
The fierce light in Arthur's eyes flashed, but his face changed and he didn't speak.
This is another situation that they did not expect, the operation against Solomon was formulated before the outbreak of the Battle of Yugudral, after Prince David's personal consideration, it was believed that although the disposal of Solomon would bring a lot of trouble to the Hidden Alliance, it should only be affected for a period of time, just like after Barbasahn made a move to Solomon before, although the kingdom severely pursued the Demon Banquet Alliance for a period of time, but with the urgency of the external war also relaxed.
However, after the temporary end of the Battle of Yugudral, Solomon was promoted to the rank of earl, which was not as important as previously expected.
However, this still did not change the mind of the Hidden Alliance, and the bottom line was still that he could kill him if necessary, unless he could come up with the bargaining chips to change this tragic fate.
Just now Solomon added another bargaining chip, and he is now a disciple of Strauss.
After the Hidden Alliance's crimes, if it can't bear the wrath of Asturias and temporarily withdraws from Asturias, the kingdom will probably only be pursued here, and it is unlikely that it will be anything better.
Because if it is pursued further, it is on the territory of another country, and it is impossible for the Asturian property to risk war to hunt down, and Solomon is not so important that it is, and it is not Edward who was assassinated, but a legendary mage may do this.
Moreover, Strauss and Cleveland are good friends, and at the same time they are called dragon slayer law or dragon slayer, basically offending one of them is equivalent to offending two.
Even if the Prince of the Bloods is not afraid, not every other Bloodline can escape the revenge of the legendary mage.
"Before, I didn't seem to have heard of Strauss having such a disciple as you. David's eyes narrowed into a slit and he looked at Solomon.
Solomon casually put his hand up and raised the dragon bone ring on his finger, "It is true that it was not long before I came under his door after the battle of Yugudral. โ
David stared fiercely at the dragon bone ring on Solomon's finger, he was a man of knowledge.
Then he lowered his head, as if he couldn't make a choice for a moment.
After a long while, he raised his head and sneered, "It's still not enough." โ
At this moment, the room suddenly shook violently, and the floor and walls suddenly began to squirm.
The whole room is constantly deformed, but in this deformation, the room type and the furniture in the room are changing.
At the same time, the smell of blood that was vague before became stronger and stronger.
The whole room, and even the whole castle, seemed to come to life.
Rao is Solomon had already guessed that this room, and even this castle was very weird, but he didn't expect it to be so weird, and the touch from the floor under his feet was completely a feeling of flesh.
In other words, it's like being in the flesh and blood cavity of some kind of monster.
Arthur couldn't help but be shocked and angry, David's expression suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes looked out, as if he could see through the thick walls of flesh that were constantly wriggling.
"Someone came to save him, it seems that he really didn't lie to us just now, and it is a bit important for Asturias. โ
This sentence sounded like an acknowledgment of Solomon's value, but when Solomon heard it, he only felt a burst of murderous intent, and at the same time, David also seemed to be a different person, although he still looked like a fat man, but the huge and astonishing sense of oppression came from him, firmly locking Solomon.
With Solomon now almost reaching the spiritual strength of a high-level mage, he will feel like he will be crushed at any time in front of this spiritual coercion.
This is David's real strength table, this is the coercion of the legendary powerhouse.
The tremor of the room, and even the castle, intensified, swaying, sloping, and the floor that had been horizontal became oblique, and even spread vertically.
Solomon struggled with the pressure of the Legendary Blood Prince, and at the same time had to contend with the ever-changing terrain.
However, he knew that his opportunity was fleeting, someone came to save him, David really killed himself, if he couldn't convince this blood prince, this time his life would really be over.
But how to convince the other party? The other party doesn't even care about the revenge of the kingdom and the legendary mage.
Profit, interest, there must be interest to impress the other party, not just threaten.
At the moment of life and death, Solomon suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Wait, what if I have a way to make you appear in the open, and even affect Asturias, and all the Terran nations?"
