Chapter 1559 I'm Not Stupid
Island No. 1 is said to be the largest island, but in reality it is not that big.
Basically, just treat every island as a city.
In the Patton Empire, people still don't know that Jabar has surrendered to the Great Zhou, so his identity as a royal wizard is still useful here.
After revealing their identities, the fleets on both sides temporarily stopped their actions. Jabar quickly landed on the island and rushed to the castle as quickly as possible.
Bai Tu seemed very relieved about Jabbar's departure.
Or he was sure that even if Jabeur had ulterior motives, he would not be able to escape their control.
After all, the opponent has already used his most powerful mantra spell, 'Giant Waves'.
A wizard who has entered the holy realm has all the magical powers but no corresponding mantras. In the end, he can only be used as a power bank and is not to be feared at all.
This is a good opportunity to test the other party and see if he is truly willing to surrender.
During this period, Bai Tu also took the initiative to ask a question.
"Would you like to arrange a few guards for you to ensure your safety?"
Obviously, Bai Tu was afraid that the other side would turn against him and kill Jabbar directly.
But Jabbar confidently shook his head and refused.
In this regard, Bai Tu did not force it and allowed the other party to take subsequent actions according to his own ideas.
There was no obstruction along the way. As soon as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar stepped into the castle, the elderly Patton III came running over...
"Godfather, you are finally back. I didn't hear from you for such a long time that I thought something happened to you!"
Patton III, who received the news in advance, was filled with excitement, and his voice was even a little choked up, he almost cried in public.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Badon Empire. How many times have I told you to be careful about your manners?"
Looking at Patton III, who was still in this state at his old age, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar felt speechless and helpless.
I thought to myself that neither I nor his mother were like that.
His mother was courageous and wise. As a mage who had entered the holy realm, he must be calm and resolute, right? How could a son of his have such a personality?
Did he really not inherit any of the good qualities of his parents? If Barton III's facial features were not 70% similar to his own, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would have doubted whether he was his son.
After being scolded by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Patton III was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed twice.
Seeing this, Jabbar felt even more helpless.
"Your Majesty, let's go to the government office to talk."
The two of them quickly moved to the government affairs room, and during this process, Patton III's entire state of mind was visibly relaxed.
It seemed that as long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was back, there would be nothing for him to worry about.
This situation made Jabbar even more helpless. For a moment, he really didn't know how to start.
After all, for Patton III, what he brought back this time was not good news.
But think about it from another angle. Patton III's personality makes him unfit to be an emperor. He also has no talent for cultivation. He is now over sixty years old. In modern society, it is time for him to retire.
Now if there is a chance, it would be a good thing to let him spend his old age comfortably.
Thinking of this, Jabbar calmed down a little and spoke in a deep voice...
"Your Majesty, please prepare yourself and listen to me."
Patton III listened and nodded quickly.
In Jabbar's opinion, Barton III did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
"This time, our opponent is much stronger than we expected. We are no match for them. If we continue to fight, the Barton Empire will be destroyed."
"The only way to ensure our safety now is to surrender."
During the entire process, Jabbar kept a close eye on Barton III's reaction.
But Patton III didn't react at all throughout the whole process.
It was as if I was listening to something that had nothing to do with me.
This surprised Jabbar a little, but he decided to finish what he wanted to say first.
"I have negotiated with the other side. The Barton royal family has announced its surrender. In exchange, the other side will ensure the safety of you, your wife and your descendants, and provide you with a life without worries about food and clothing."
When Patton III heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's great!"
“…”
"What should I do? Just say I surrender?"
“…”
Although on Bai Tu's side, Jabeur patted his chest and said that he was confident that he could persuade Patton III to surrender, the current situation was still completely beyond his expectations.
The Patton III in front of him gave him a feeling that he was tired of being an emperor.
But then he changed his mind and quickly figured it out.
Although he had spent most of his time in seclusion practicing over the years, he was not unaware of Patton III's situation.
To put it bluntly, in the Patton Empire where various nobles were fighting for power, Patton III did not have much real power.
Under this premise, he still had to live in fear every day when facing this group of powerful officials.
I’m afraid that someone will suddenly want to be emperor one day.
By then, if the rebellion can be successfully suppressed, that would be the best. But if the suppression fails, the Patton royal family will most likely be killed, and their heads will be hung on the flagpole outside!
In this era, the only benefit of being the emperor was that he enjoyed a wealthy life that only existed in the fantasies of ordinary people.
Apart from this, Patton III did not think there was anything good about being an emperor.
Thinking about the life his son had lived over the years, Jabbar couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Looking back over the past years, he had thought about spending more time with his children, but under that situation, if he didn't improve his strength quickly, how could he ensure that his son could sit firmly on the throne of Patton?
At this moment, seeing that his son no longer had to be the emperor Patton, Jabbar actually felt a sense of relief in his heart, and even the tone of his voice had changed subtly...
"After things are settled, I have something to tell you."
Jabbar, who said this, obviously made a great determination.
When Patton III heard this, his expression was startled at first, then he quickly relaxed.
"Is it about our relationship, Father?"
"!!"
Jabbar was obviously surprised when he heard this, and even stuttered a little when he spoke.
"You, are not."
He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but quickly realized that there seemed no need to deny it now.
"I mean, when did you know about this?"
At this moment, looking at the obviously nervous Jabbar, Patton III smiled, and smiled happily.
"I may not be cut out to be an emperor, but I'm not stupid."
“…”
