Chapter 494: No More Secrets
The tension was like a taut string, almost freezing the air. Kano's heartbeat quickened, and every heartbeat seemed to echo in his chest, accompanied by an indescribable sense of uneasiness.
Fine beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.
Prime Minister William slowly walked into the coffee shop. The passers-by around him suddenly seemed to have lost their sense of surprise and began to do their own things without paying any attention to this place.
It was a very strange feeling, as if they were in a different world from Kano and the others, perhaps because of some extraordinary power of Prime Minister William.
"Dear Prime Minister Lorne, I want to show you something as important as this. It concerns the survival of the world. Please follow me."
The Son of the Sun God stared at Prime Minister Lorne, then stretched out his hand and unfolded a scroll.
Kano recognized it; it was the thing that bound him inside.
"You want me to go into that scroll? But how can I guarantee that you won't attack me?"
Prime Minister William's tone was calm, but in fact he was very alert and steady.
"Respected Sun Saint, your intrusion into Lorne without prior notice can be considered a provocation to Lorne. However, we have no intention of going to war with Terilla, who has always remained neutral, so we came to negotiate with you in a calm manner."
"Loen doesn't need you to pay compensation or apologize. All he needs is for you to leave immediately and release the members of the Fisher family... The Fisher family is an important ally of the empire."
He expressed his thoughts clearly and concisely.
"I have no intention of going to war with Lorne. In fact, what I want to do is something more important, which is to save the world together with the Lorne people."
"Save the world?"
Prime Minister William was slightly stunned and stared at the other party in disbelief.
Most people in the world are fighting for power, gaining greater strength, or offering something to the great being they serve, or even crazier ideas...
But "saving the world" is such a boring and funny idea, it can even be said to be a delusion, and it seems that almost no extraordinary people have ever thought about it.
However, he was fully aware that the Sun Saint in front of him truly wanted to fulfill his mission of "saving the world".
"Yes, it's about the six elements of destruction. In fact, the existence that the Fisher family has been serving is one of the six elements of destruction, and the Essence Tree also wants to master the six elements of destruction... In my eyes, they are all targets that need to be eliminated, and no one can be left alive."
The Son of the Sun continued.
"My power is not enough to destroy the Essence Tree and the Fisher family. I hope to join forces with the Empire... As far as I know, the Essence Tree has had many conflicts with you, especially their subordinate organization, the Spirit Clothes Hermitage. This organization has murdered many nobles of the Empire in order to obtain those so-called spirit clothes."
"And I have just wiped out the Spirit Cloth Hermitage, which is a gift to the empire."
"Um……"
Prime Minister William fell into deep thought and still did not express his opinion. Then the Son of the Sun God continued speaking.
His eyes were full of determination.
"Before I take you into the painting, I can swear an oath in the name of Jiaoyang that I will never attack you in there, but will take you to witness the truth that concerns the survival of the world!"
Kano's thoughts were like a wild horse running wildly in his mind. Sometimes he was worried about the possible consequences of the secret being leaked, and sometimes he was anxiously thinking about how to prevent all this from happening.
Time seemed to be stretched out, and every second was filled with torment, making him desperately hope that this was all just a nightmare and that he could wake up quickly.
Got it.
After thinking it over, Kano wanted to speak, but suddenly found that he couldn't open his mouth to speak. Then he subconsciously looked at the woman called wolf who was standing not far away.
She stared at his body intently, using some kind of supernatural power to control him so that he couldn't speak!
Damn it! The son of the god of the sun, thinking of the possibility that I might negotiate, simply let me only have the right to watch but no right to speak!
But who said that we can’t communicate without speaking!
Kano simply raised his hand towards Prime Minister William with a subtle look, his eyes full of eagerness and anxiety.
That was the gesture of a student asking a question to the teacher.
Prime Minister William, whose body was semi-mechanized, stared at Carnot Fischer and said calmly:
"If you really want to convince me and Loen, then don't worry about what others say. If you, Son of the Sun God, are confident enough about the 'truth' you hold, then let me listen to Fisher's side of the story."
"All right."
The Son of the Sun God nodded slightly and waved his hand gently, and the wolf closed his eyes.
Kano was able to speak immediately, exhaled, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Everything our great Sun Saint said is correct."
"The Fisher family indeed serves a great being."
Prime Minister William was very calm, just listening indifferently, as if he didn't find it very strange. Then he just waved his hand gently to let Kano continue.
He immediately changed the subject.
"However, there are already many secret organizations in the world that believe in gods that are not recognized by the church. Each of them has the potential to destroy the world in theory, right?"
"As far as I know, even so, the two empires and the church still had many temporary alliances with some useful secret organizations, and even heretical sects, right?"
really.
Theoretically, there are too many organizations that could potentially destroy the world, but in reality, none of them can really do that, even if the Fisher family is one of them.
As long as the losses are minimized, it doesn't matter even if the Loen Empire no longer cooperates with the Fisher family, as long as they don't send out hundreds of monarchs to surround and kill Fisher.
Kano's calculations were very clear in his heart, because as long as he could paralyze the opponent a little bit, as long as he could delay until his father was promoted to the eighth level... once his father was promoted to the eighth level, he would possess the legendary power equivalent to the apocalypse!
Moreover, with the blessing of rune power, it is even foreseeable that most of the ordinary lower-level transcendents of Apocalypse will not be a match for my father.
At that time, even if the Loen Empire sent out hundreds of powerful monarchs to surround and kill the Fisher family, it would be of no avail!
Yes, as long as we can hold off until that time, the family will be temporarily safe.
"Words spoken are but a performance; what is truly seen is more valuable." said the Son of the Sun God.
"But all you can give is an illusion, isn't it?"
Kano confronted the Son of the Sun God. The latter looked at him for a while, shook his head and said:
"Kano Fischer, I admit that I underestimated you. Also... it was a mistake for me to be soft-hearted towards someone like you."
Then, the Son of the Sun God raised his hand, looked at Prime Minister William and said, "Let's make an oath. Wait until you really see everything before making a judgment."
"It's actually just like what you said... I hope to truly convince you, so you won't be afraid of what others say."
A few dozen minutes later.
Prime Minister William's eyes were solemn, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. He slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently touched the thick black mist in the illusion, as if he had touched an unknown abyss.
His expression became extremely serious, his brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line, revealing his inner anxiety and determination.
The Son of the Sun God and Kano also watched it again.
No matter how many times he watched it, Kano would always feel extremely shocked; all the illusions seemed real!
After reading all the contents of the illusion, Prime Minister William gently closed his eyes. In a moment of silence, he seemed to be having a silent conversation with himself, weighing every possible course of action and the possible consequences of these plans.
Finally, when Prime Minister William opened his eyes again, his eyes were more determined and calm, and he said thoughtfully: "Let's go out and talk about it."
"good."
The Son of the Sun God nodded slightly, waved his hand, and the few of them returned to the coffee shop again. Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis arose in the deepest part of his heart.
Um?
And just as they left, a gem embedded in a customer's chest suddenly burst into dazzling light, like a star falling to the earth, illuminating the entire cafe like daylight.
The light quickly spread, forming a rotating aperture that enveloped all people and objects in the cafe.
"What's going on?"
Kano was stunned and tried to comprehend what was happening before his eyes. The world began to change drastically. The scene in the cafe gradually became blurred.
When the light faded, he found himself in a completely different world - an alien world that looked like the surface of the moon.
The sky here is a deep dark color, with sparse stars dotted in between. Underfoot is a bumpy, cratered ground covered with a thin layer of silvery-white dust, reflecting a faint light.
Where on earth is this place?
Kano could even see several towering craters of various shapes in the distance, as well as several winding cracks that looked like scars on the earth.
There was a strange, slightly cool fragrance in the air, which lifted his spirits.
"Isn't this the Krad World?"
The Son of the Sun God stood here calmly. There was no sunlight here, and his power had undoubtedly dropped to the lowest point.
His two followers, the wolf and the cat, were not here either, and all the passers-by in the cafe had disappeared.
Only three people were teleported here.
The surroundings were quiet, and Prime Minister William's voice quickly reached the ears of the Son of the Sun God and Kano.
"I believe everything you just showed me, respected Sun Saint."
"The Empire will destroy the Fisher family, don't worry."
He paused, then continued, "But I can't give up this opportunity and let you continue to exist... because you want to destroy all the six elements of destruction, but I think some of them are very useful."
"If used well..."
"The increasingly chaotic world of Krad lacks new gods, don't you think?"
