Xia Zhe was of course very clear about this.
Among the countries in the Great Northern Civilization World, apart from Macedonia, Metonym is the strongest!
If Macedonia is allowed to destroy Methionion, a little Stobi like me will not survive for long!
However, the success rate of taking a risky attack on Thessaloniki is really too low!
If the conditions were not very attractive, Xia Zhe would never agree!
He had already made preparations in his heart. If he failed to reach an agreement with the envoy, he would call on the northern city-states to send troops and join forces to attack Stupla!
If Macedonia does not come to the rescue, it will be a good opportunity to get rid of this serious threat.
Lest Macedonia attack from this position someday and catch us off guard!
If Macedonia sent troops to rescue, it would be an indirect help to Methionian.
After all, this move would inevitably disperse Macedonia's military forces.
The siege of Metonymion in the East would no longer be so difficult.
"If the king is willing to send troops to attack Thessaloniki, I am willing to give you the Green King's Heart! Inside, inside is hidden the greatest secret of the world!"
In the end, Methonian's envoy was at a loss for words and began to talk nonsense.
Hearing this, the Prime Minister smiled and Lillian also secretly covered her mouth.
The messenger looked quite steady for his age.
When you get anxious, you dare to talk about anything!
What the hell is this King's Heart?
What the biggest secret in the shit world?
As if we were three-year-olds?
"The Heart of the King? The green one? Show it to me!"
Hearing these ridiculous words, Xia Zhe suddenly became serious.
Hearing this, the messenger tried to give it a try. He really reached into his arms and took out a crystal-like ball the size of a ping-pong ball.
The ball is crystal clear, like some kind of gem.
It was flashing green light and looked quite mysterious.
This world truly has the heart of a king!
Seeing the gem in the messenger's hand, Xia Zhe's face changed suddenly.
He clearly remembered that when he first played the game, finding the King's Heart was one of the ultimate tasks.
It is said that there are nine kings' hearts in the world, divided into nine colors.
If you can collect them all, you can go to the Temple of the Sun in Delphi and ask the sun god Apollo to appear and help the holder realize a wish!
Of course, this is just a side quest in the game.
The so-called wishes cannot be truly made.
It seemed like an unfinished idea of the designer that ended in failure.
But after traveling through time, Xia Zhe thought about it for a long time and felt that if this mission really existed, it would most likely be his way to return to his original world.
"What's the use of this thing? Is it valuable?" Lillian interrupted and asked.
Seeing that the gem looked good, Lillian misunderstood and thought that the messenger wanted to impress Stoby with the treasure.
"No, no, no! This is not an ordinary gem, this is the Heart of the King! Legend has it that there are nine Hearts of the King in the world. Whoever can collect them all can go to the holy city of Delphi and meet the true body of the sun god Apollo! Ask the god to fulfill a wish!" The messenger shook his head.
Hearing this fairy-tale-like statement, the Prime Minister and Lillian both looked disgusted.
We are all adults now. How dare you say such so-called legends to appease children?
However, Xia Zhe was already certain of it.
What the messenger said was exactly consistent with the ultimate intelligence he had!
I must get this thing!
Moreover, the location of the remaining eight will also fall on this messenger.
"I'm interested in this thing. Okay, I'll issue a call to action, requiring all city-states to send troops to gather here. However, you have to explain the ins and outs of the King's Heart clearly, including the location of the remaining ones! Moreover, I'm only in charge of calling, and I can't guarantee whether those city-states will respond. In the end, however many people come, it counts!" Xia Zhe answered solemnly.
The clue to go back finally appeared, and Xia Zhe had to catch it no matter what.
Attack Thessaloniki once.
Anyway, it’s fine as long as I don’t lead the troops to die!
What?
The king actually believed the fairy tale and really planned to send troops?
Seeing Xia Zhe so serious, the Prime Minister and Lillian were stunned.
But then the Prime Minister understood.
The king had actually long wanted to send troops to suppress the speed of Macedonia's expansion!
Everyone understands that it is good for Methonian to be weakened, but it would be a huge surprise if it were completely annexed by Macedonia!
The situation in the Great North will deteriorate significantly as a result! The rise of Macedonia will be unstoppable!
The king’s so-called interest is just an excuse to send troops!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! To be honest, this Heart of the King has long been enshrined in the Macedonian Temple. When Philip usurped the throne, the temple priests, filled with resentment, took it to Methonium! I also have some idea of the locations of the remaining Hearts of the King. As soon as I see the army marching, I will inform Your Majesty!"
He looked like an envoy from a kind and benevolent elder, and he was obviously holding back when speaking.
He felt quite emotional.
Sure enough, all true kings are the same!
Legend has it that the strongest men who have dominated the world in history all wanted to collect the King's Heart, hoping that God would grant them eternal life!
Although I have never heard of anyone collecting them all, there have always been people who enjoy doing it for thousands of years!
King Stoby is obviously one of them.
My attempt to save the dying horse as a living one finally worked wonders!
"Okay, then you stay here first. It's not too late to talk about it after I gather the army." Xia Zhe said.
Xia Zhe was not a fool, and of course he understood the little tricks of the Metonian envoy.
Although he felt a little unhappy, Xia Zhe didn't care too much.
I know myself well, I actually don’t have any ability!
