For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 171 Interview

"Are you crazy?"

   After listening to the other party's plan, Ward was silent for a long time, and finally he could only ask this sentence.

   "It's possible."

   Remedios nodded lightly and replied, the expression on her face was still terribly calm.

   "But...it's impossible."

The first fog king in history dispelled the dense fog that enveloped the blockade of Awa, and in the history of tens of thousands of years, there has never been a case where the fog completely isolated Awa - although not only one fog king claimed that He could do it himself, and the Last Mist King used it to threaten the rebels before he was overthrown, but he didn't do it until his death.

  The Continent Lord is the King of the Mist who only wears shackles in terms of authority. Since no King of the Mist has done it, from a rational point of view, Ward should not believe that the other party can do it...

   "I have my own way."

  Remede replied without caring.

   Looking at the other party's face without the slightest emotion, Ward was still panicked:

   "You don't care about your spirit at all... Well, I guess you really don't care about your soul being annihilated. But if you do, then for Avazhou..."

"The entire Awa continent will be isolated from the world by fog, time and space will be disordered, the boundaries between self and others will be blurred, and we will be closer to concepts than reality. Simply put - back to a state closer to creation - or, according to the Tacoma theory, from causal time to cyclic time... Is that so?"

   Remedios answered for him.

   "You know..."

   Hearing Remedios answer calmly and methodically, Ward said weakly.

   "Then why do it?"

   "Because I have no choice."

   Remedios replied.

   "This is the only way I can think of to protect Ava Continent from the expansion of the empire."

"Protect Ava Continent? What does it mean to so many kinsmen living on it? Without the distinction between 'you' and 'me', and the perception of past and present, are we really alive? Or are we still alive? Just as a concept-driven puppet?"

  Ward asked immediately.

   "Is that so? I really don't know how resistant you are to being a 'puppet'."

  Although there was still no emotion in Remedios’ voice, Ward could still hear irony.

   "This and that are completely different things. Cooperating with the Empire does not mean that I will become their puppet. This is just an exchange of interests. We are in an equal position."

  Ward looked solemn and said.

   "Secondly, even being a puppet of the empire is better than being transformed by the primordial spirit into a ghost that circulates in reincarnation."

What   Remedios intends to do is almost equivalent to letting all the elves in the entire Ava continent jump into the Phoenix Sacred Fire, so that the souls of all elves can be immortalized.

   This is only a true lunatic who can do this kind of thing.

   But who can say that the man in front of him who has lived for more than 1,200 years is not a lunatic?

   "As I said, I have no choice."

   Remedios repeated again.

"What does it mean to have no choice... Even if you give up the peace talks and gather the strength of Ava Continent to fight against the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the outcome is only three to seven, which is always tens of thousands of times stronger than your self-defeating plan. More than that?"

   "Gather the strength of the continent?"

   Hearing Ward's words, for the first time, a stiff smile appeared on Remedios' face.

   She now looks like a rigid, unspiritual sculpture.

   "If I don't get you here first, I'll be impeached and ousted in three days. Tell me, do you have any better advice for the power of the continent?"

   "I just hoped that you would give me a chance to negotiate with the Empire, not to be blinded by the main war factions around me..."

   "No one can blind my mind."

   Remedios interrupted.

   "Then your mind is to deprive all minds? I would rather die by the sword of the Imperial Expeditionary Force."

  For the Windsong family, the yearning for freedom and distance is a deep imprint in their souls. Therefore, blocking the coastline with fog and returning Avazhou to chaos is an ending that he absolutely cannot accept.

   After saying this, Ward suddenly calmed down. He looked at the back of Remedios turning around and said to her as if he understood something:

   "You're actually threatening me, right?"

"How do you understand it is your freedom? Without the maritime support of Ys City, without the logistical supplies of Fengsui City, and without the equipment support of Clockwork City, the probability of defeating the Imperial Expeditionary Force is less than half. Blocking Avazhou is not enough. My only option."

   The other party replied.

  Ward's heart dropped a little when he heard this.

   The opponent is really using this as a bargaining chip to threaten himself, not really crazy.

   Since he is not really crazy, then he has the capital to continue bargaining.

   "I don't understand, why are you unwilling to try to make contact with the envoys of the empire? It's not that everything can be solved by swords and magic, the possibility of reconciliation has always existed."

  Thinking of this, Ward immediately regained his previous momentum at the Moon round meeting:

   "For over 10,000 years, we have maintained a neutral attitude, which is the biggest reason we have been able to prosper, and now. If we talk to the Empire now..."

"Can."

  Ward's words were not finished, and Remedios, who was stroking the dragon glass on the showcase, replied casually.

   Such a decisive agreement made Ward not react for a while.

"Can?"

   he repeated suspiciously to make sure the other party was right.

"The members of the Eighth Religion who were supposed to come over to discuss various matters about the peace talks with you and are going to baptize you have arrived. You can have a good chat here, and this is what I invited you over this trip. reason."

  Ward was quite critical about the two points of "please come here" and "baptism", but Remedios ignored him, just clapped her hands, and the two heavily armed Phoenix guards outside the door walked in.

   "Let them all come in."

   she said.

  …

   "Is this way you can go in?"

  William looked at the white and elegant castle in front of him, shimmering like a layer of moonlight, turned his head to look at Moulton beside him and asked.

   "You don't need to check if you have a weapon or something?"

   "This is Moon Law City, sir."

   The other party looked at William with a smile on his face and answered.

"Ever since the empire's mission assassinated the last continent lord here 800 years ago, no one from the empire has stepped into this city. There are more defenses against you humans than yours. imagine."

   said, he pushed open the door that was as white as ivory.

   The day after tomorrow, the normal update will resume.
