Chapter 153 The Only Possibility
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the calm lake, shining brightly, and it looked like fish were swimming on the lake.
A woman with long purple hair stood in front of the lake. She was wearing a dark dress, looking mysterious, noble and elegant.
"Nifede, are you thinking about him again?"
Hearing such words, the End Song Yin Nifede couldn't help but turn around and look at the woman who was talking to him, "Curse Song-Hana", one of his deputies in the Curse Master Alliance.
"Just standing here to admire the sunset and the afterglow, you have to consider him?"
"It's not hard to guess, Nifede, only he can make you feel at a loss - you only come here when you are confused."
Hana walked to Yin Nifede's side: "What happened in the Elf Kingdom is no secret. There were too many high-level leaders of various races and forces there that day. There were too many people who witnessed his arrival and killed the Elf Queen. Even if the Elf Queen herself is not as strong as you, but in the ancestral land, united with the Elf Mother Tree, you can't beat her."
She said this quite directly: "So, the world already knows that the hero is not only not declining, but even terribly strong. As long as he wants, he can take away the head of anyone in the world and make a person's brain no longer belong to him - facing such an existence, who can remain calm?"
Yin Nifede retracted his gaze and looked back at the calm lake: "So, what do the other allies think? Do you want to push me out to face his anger? I heard that his hair is still gray now."
"I think many people have the same idea, but you are very powerful and no one dares to say it directly. However, it is not ruled out that someone will contact the hero privately and test his attitude. If they get the hero's instruction, I am afraid that some people will be able to gain enough courage from it. By then, resisting you may not be just talk."
"Isn't this ridiculous?"
Yin Nifede's eyes stayed on the water: "We assisted him in resisting the Demon King in order to get a better life, and betrayed him because he failed to fulfill his promise. But now, we have to surrender to him because of his powerful strength, and even let a 'culprit' like me pay the price for it - then why did we help him in the first place?"
"Of course this is unfair, Nifede." Hana stood with her and looked at the water together, "But so what? This world has never said that hard work will be rewarded, and that if you make a choice and pay a price, you will get something. After paying hard work and paying a price, the final result is unsatisfactory, or even bad... It is the norm in the world. As the leader of the alliance, such an idea is childish and naive. I shouldn't have to teach you this."
Yin Nifede couldn't deny such words.
It is actually a very luxurious thing to be rewarded for hard work... She is clearly aware of this. If you pay a price, you will definitely get something?
If everything you pay will be rewarded, what a wonderful thing it would be.
From the perspective of the Curse Master Alliance, in fact, whether the decision is correct is no longer important, because for many organizations in this world, it is no longer a question of whether to make money or not, but whether there is still a chance to continue to exist.
Who knows if the hero will suddenly become fierce?
Some time ago, he was able to suddenly descend on the Elf Kingdom and kill the Elf Queen. Will he suddenly land in the Curse Master Alliance later?
Now there are all kinds of small-scale local wars in the world. Besides that, what do the major organizations do first?
Hide!
Use magic, curses, alchemical tools, and various other means to hide the location of their headquarters. Whether it works or not, it is always a kind of psychological comfort. Not letting the heroes find themselves is the simplest solution, whether they support the heroes or betray the heroes.
Yin Nifede is very clear about all this.
It is precisely because she knows these things that she came to the lake and looked at the lake water, which can make her calm down a little.
"Are we wrong?"
"So, right and wrong are meaningless. We are not strong enough to change the world, so we can only adapt to the world. If we have the power of the heroes, then no matter what happens, we can do things according to our own wishes." Hana spread her hands helplessly, "But we are not, so in the face of changes in the world, we can only change ourselves. Let ourselves survive hard. We have always been like this."
Curse master -
in the territory of the demons, it is considered that the weak and insidious guys will learn and use the power, and it is regarded as an "ominous" power among humans.
A power that will not be favored or cherished no matter where it is.
Struggling to survive is the norm for curse masters. Generally speaking, normal people will not learn to curse.
There are so many broad paths to choose from in the world, so many choices to live under the sun. Those who eventually become curse masters always have some helplessness of their own, perhaps because they have nowhere else to go, or perhaps because of something else - or simply because they are bad people... The group of curse masters is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous groups in the world.
Such a group is really...
"If, I mean if, I was killed by A. Godola, would he continue to attack the Curse Master Alliance?"
Hana turned her head and looked at the other party: "Are you serious about this?"
"If it is really necessary."
"Don't say such ridiculous things. Do you think anyone will be grateful to you?"
"I didn't say this for the gratitude of others."
Yin Nifede's expression was very calm: "After all, if this is something that will happen sooner or later, perhaps it would be more... decent to take the initiative to seek such a result. If you use all means to survive, or escape, or conspiracy, or shameless flattery - if you want to survive, you have to choose one of these options, but this is obviously meaningless. Even if it is ugly, desperate struggle, it will eventually lead to death. It is better to face death yourself and have some heroic spirit."
Decent.
The group of curse masters is actually very dishonorable.
After all, the next job is often to find dirty and tiring work, but correspondingly, what is most lacking is emphasized the most - this group is the most respectable group, even more so than the people in the Magician Guild, which is mostly composed of nobles.
Everyone dresses very formally, no matter what they do, they are as serious as attending a party.
There are also many so-called internal "rules".
Many people even call themselves "artists", the so-called "art of cursing", "art of killing", "art of assassination", "art of torture"... Many people who are not familiar with the Curse Master Alliance will think that this is a certain artist association.
They always dress themselves noble and elegant.
"What a proposal full of the style of a curse master. It is a good remedy. If he can approve it."
Yin Nifede then took out a plan and handed it to Hana: "This is the plan sent by the wise king."
Hana took the plan and browsed it carefully, and her expression kept changing.
Yin Nifede then asked: "What do you think?"
"What do you think... Does he really want to kill the hero?"
"Shatti and Adeline seem to think that the wise king really wants to kill A. Godora, but in my opinion - this is like a suicide plan, which describes in detail how we are going to end up with our own death."
Hana closed the plan: "As a curser, I can only say that I have the same feeling... It will only involve high-end combat forces. It is a plan about all grudges. If the hero and the demon king cannot be killed, then everyone will die there. No one else will be involved. The death of the leaders declares the end of the past. The world only retains the hero and the demon king, or only retains any one party... With them as the protagonists, the pages of the world are turned over again. It can feel like this."
"You really think so, right?" Yin Nifede was not surprised by Hana's answer. "I didn't tell Shatti and the others about this feeling, and I don't know if they have the same feeling as me. Maybe they are already prepared."
"Are you going to implement this plan?"
"If this plan can allow the Curse Master Alliance to continue, then it is worth implementing."
Yin Nifede put his hand on Hana's shoulder: "I think the wise king should have made all the arrangements. After his death, there may be a coup in the Central Empire of Humanity, and the Heroes will become the leaders of all factions. I will give you the same mission, Hana. After I die, you will become the president of the Curse Master Alliance, and make a choice between the Demon King and the Hero based on your own judgment."
Between the Demon King and the Hero?
"But they..."
Aren't they united now?
Yin Nifede did not directly answer her doubts, but continued: "The Demon King was once defeated by the hero, but now she has returned again - do you think that kind of life form would be willing to be defeated by the hero? At least, what the Demon King did before told me that she was not willing - so the return of the Demon King is actually something to look forward to. Now that the hero is extremely powerful, the only one who can defeat the hero is the Demon King who has returned and is more powerful than before. But who is more powerful... you can only judge it yourself. I can't make this judgment."
