Chapter 723: Secret Talk

In the end, the few people came to a stalemate on how to deal with this matter.

Duke Carrot and a ninth-order extreme guardian believed that with the strength of the [Ring of Truth], they were qualified to negotiate with the Olivendi family on an equal footing and could engage in negotiations with them.

However, [Zero Degree Ice Crystal] Pomona and another ninth-level guardian believed that there was no need to let the Ring of Truth come into contact with the silver key in the family's hands just for the location of the door.

After it was suspected that it had taken control of a new floating city, many forces privately assessed that the Circle of Truth had already reached a level comparable to that of the Continental Magic Council.

In this situation, the other party has the coordinates of the door, while the key is in our hands. If we continue to maintain a hostile stance, it will not be of any benefit to us.

After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was not big, and the Olivendi family could not obtain information from the Ring of Truth by force. Similarly, it was basically impossible for the people of the Ring of Truth to snatch the key from the Duke.

Then, the best way is naturally for both parties to sit down together and discuss cooperation.

However, some people are not satisfied with this result.

"This is too risky! Even if the [Ring of Truth] has the door, what can it do?! We don't even need to look for that door. The power contained in this key is enough to serve as a ritual medium and open the road to legend."

After the projection meeting ended, [Zero Degree Ice Crystal] Pomona, whose consciousness returned to his laboratory, was so angry that he waved his hand and froze all the instruments and experimental materials in the room into ice sculptures.

"And that idiot Carrot, who was awarded the title of the youngest ninth-rank master in the empire, became so arrogant that he couldn't recognize his own position. He even treated the experimental subject as his own daughter. It's absolutely ridiculous! Does he think the family plan is a child's game? Young people are really unreliable!"

After cursing for a while, Pomona became angrier and angrier. After absorbing the ice covering the entire laboratory, he prepared to go back to Carrot to talk "reason".

However, before he actually took action, a strange black crystal amulet in his arms suddenly vibrated and emitted a peculiar wave.

Looking at the changes in the amulet, Pomona was stunned for a moment, then reached out and grasped it.

As he moved, a tiny green flame suddenly lit up from the center of the transparent amulet, like an open black eye.

"...How about it, Your Majesty, the Honorable [Zero Degree Ice Crystal], have you made a decision on our previous proposal?"

A cold spiritual message with no recognizable features suddenly came out from the "pupil".

"Although I don't know why you came to me, I will never agree to it. Don't mention it again."

With a cold snort, Pomona rejected the amulet's proposal without thinking.

"Your Majesty does not seem to be calm. It seems that your philosophy has just diverged from that of other ninth-order beings, right?"

The amulet trembled slightly and a message came out.

"Humph... so what? This is an internal matter of my Olivendi family after all. I won't betray my family for such a matter!"

Pomona sneered coldly, and then prepared to end the connection directly.

"You misunderstood. We don't need you to betray the Olivendi family. Your position and goal do not conflict with ours! Because the one you want to summon through that key is also one of the greatest beings among the foreign gods we serve!"

As if sensing Pomona's impatience, the Amulet's tone became hurried.

"……What did you say?"

Hearing this, Pomona finally stopped moving.

"Yes, we are very clear about the key. As one of the holy objects, we naturally have our own methods of detecting it."

Noticing the unexpected turn of events, the information in the amulet became normal again.

"You want to call upon 'Him' through that key and use its power to break through the legend. This does not conflict with us. All we need is to let Him look at this world.

However, as the price of the secret ritual, the only one qualified to be the sacrifice is the girl [Fiona] with the ancestral legendary bloodline guarded by your family.

And this is exactly in line with the prophecy: the shining star rises on the crown of the crystal bird.

With Fiona as the sacrifice and the 'Silver Key' as the medium, he communicated with 'Him' who was far away from countless worlds but was omnipresent. He finally succeeded in breaking through the legend and became the star that hangs high in the dome and never extinguishes! "

"What exactly do you want to do?"

After a moment's silence, Pomona finally spoke again, but there was a barely perceptible struggle in his voice.

Breaking through the legend is the deepest and greatest obsession in the hearts of all ninth-level people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Nothing...it's just that, now that His Majesty Duke Carrot is the head of the family, it should be difficult to realize the plan with your own strength, right?

Of course, we don’t think you are not strong enough, but because you are a member of the Olivendi family, many things are inconvenient for you to do. "

The spiritual message from the amulet came faintly.

“Gloria III is missing, and the princes and princesses in the House of Lords are only concerned with infighting. The royal family’s control over the four major families has been reduced to the lowest level. This is the best opportunity that comes once in a thousand years.

As far as I know, the other three families have already started their own secret plans. Your cooperation with us is not a betrayal to the Olivendi family, but the greatest loyalty.

Your strength increases, and so does the Olivendi family. If you can find a way to break through the legend, then all the different voices will disappear. Because you have proved with facts that your choice is the right one!"

After hearing what the other party said, Pomona remained silent for a long time.

He wanted to crush the amulet directly, but after the disagreement with Carrot and others in the previous meeting, a different voice emerged in his mind.

Why not give it a try? Just as the other party said, this would not be a loss for him. After all, this was originally the backup plan prepared by the family, and now he was just launching it ahead of schedule.

Especially at this time when the royal family's energy has been completely involved in the disappearance of Gloria III and has no time to care about the small actions of the four major families, it is even more necessary to make a decisive decision! Otherwise, according to Carrot's slow plan, when Fiona's bloodline power is improved enough to break through the legend, there may not be many unexpected situations in the middle.

It is more likely that Fiona disappears again due to some bullshit fate and her whereabouts remain unknown, leaving the family with nothing!

Trying hard to find reasons to convince himself, Pomona calmed down and made a secret decision in his heart.

Since Carrot is ready to cooperate with the Circle of Truth, what does it matter if he cooperates with the [Songxing Esoteric Cult]? "Tell me about your plan..." . ….…. (End of this chapter)
