Chapter 88 Star Tears, the content of the transaction
In the middle of the night, Adeline came to Moher's room.
At this moment, a very old oil lamp was lit in Moher's room, and she was reading a book in her hand.
"Does the Demon King have the habit of reading "The Sacred Records"? "
"This is a good book, which always reminds me of how I was conquered." Moher put away the book and put it aside.
Adeline took out an alchemical lamp, illuminated the room, and placed it on the table.
"Whether it is magic or something else, lighting is a very easy thing, right? Do you have to use such an oil lamp?"
Moher smiled and said, "You can see clearly without lighting. I just think the oil lamp is very atmospheric. When you came in, didn't you feel that I had a very mysterious feeling? In the ancient mansion, a beautiful girl who lights an oil lamp to read a book... will have a kind of weird beauty, right?"
Adeline didn't know what she was talking about. She felt that there was a big gap between her ideas and those of the Demon King.
"You don't seem to have reabsorbed your right hand. He should have gotten it back for you."
"I'm not in a hurry about this. After all, you humans are not in a hurry."
"You are also a human now, right?"
Moher looked calm. She shrugged indifferently: "You may be right, but it won't affect anything."
As she spoke, her eyes were looking at Adeline: "I thought you would appear in Mr. Doro's room tonight. What's the matter? Compared to Mr. Doro who has become an uncle, do you prefer a young and lovely girl like me? Your taste is really good!"
"...You obviously knew I would come, so you waited for me here, right?"
"I have the habit of reading every night, and it is not diverted by anything. Sleep is a boring thing for me who has a long life. Why don't you sit down first?"
Adeline sat down on another chair in the room: "Of course I am here to discuss cooperation, Miss Moher. The Horn of Destruction and the Horn of the End are not the alchemical props that I want with enough deterrence."
"With your current alchemical level, you can make it yourself, right?"
"——I can't make it."
Moher looked at her deeply and said, "You are really cautious. You are the source of miracles. It is because of miracles that you are an alchemist who has finally created alchemical items such as World Reflection...right? Even if you do it again, you can't replicate it...so you can only take away the Mirror of Abinu, repair the Sky Barrier, and then find alchemical items that have appeared before from other places-you don't have the ability to make such things yourself. You are very ambitious, Miss Adeline."
When a person has to hide something no matter what, it can only mean that this person is not holding back anything good.
Adeline can obviously make powerful alchemical items by herself, but she is always looking for alchemical items that have appeared in history and are recorded. It's nothing more than wanting to hide her ability to make such items, and want to make a big explosion at the critical moment.
Moh became slightly interested. She crossed her legs, looked at Adeline with interest, and asked, "Why don't you tell me, what item do you want? Many have appeared in history. Some were given to others, some were destroyed by you, and some I kept for myself. Which one do you want?"
"I want Star Tears."
"Eh~"
Moh stretched out his voice, "You are really cruel~ Miss Adeline, you should know that this alchemical item is not something that can be used casually - once it is started, it cannot be stopped, and there is a long silent time, but correspondingly, once it falls, it will be devastating to all living things, leaving no trace. It is enough to destroy an entire city and leave only a deep pit~ The Horn of Destruction and the Horn of Doom. If you are lucky or have good strength, you can still survive. Aren't you going too far?"
Adeline nodded, "But only this can achieve the effect I want."
"Miss Adeline, wild beasts will often show their fangs and claws when facing an enemy they feel threatened, and try to make themselves look as terrible as possible. Your behavior is no different. You have such demands out of fear, which is not a good thing." Moh gave honest advice, "If you really use this kind of thing, I'm afraid Mr. Doro will not show mercy. You can't make God come."
"So this kind of thing will never fall on the city. I just want to show my military power."
Moh nodded: "There is nothing wrong with your consideration, but since it is a cooperation, what can you bring to me?"
"Isn't it your demand that I have disputes with other forces?" Adeline frowned slightly, "What else do you want?"
"What you said, Miss Adeline, is that if I don't give you the props, it seems that you will not have disputes with other forces. Now that things have come to this, do you think that your Alchemy Association can stop? Some things cannot be turned back once they are done." Golden light flowed in the girl's eyes, brighter than the light of the alchemy lamp. "You must admit that from the day you became the president of the Alchemist Association, you have been on a path of no return, all of you."
Moher's sight seemed to be able to see through history and see the distant future: "So, this is not the content of our cooperation. Since you plan to cooperate, you should show more sincerity."
Adeline's expression became ugly. Of course, she knew that Moher would make demands, but the pressure of confronting this demon king was too great. She always felt that she might not be able to accept the demands made by the demon king.
"Let me think about the content of the deal - yes, how about Xia Di? Whatever you want to do, I don't care, but you have to find a way to deal with Saint Xia Di. She is really a very troublesome opponent. Duo Luo himself couldn't kill her. In terms of being close to God, she really makes me feel threatened. I have to get rid of her. I don't want another Godora in the world, which is terrible."
"I can't guarantee it."
Mo He took out a pocket and took out a "tear" from it.
This tear looked as clear and transparent as crystal, shining under the light of the alchemy lamp.
"Is this, Star Tear?"
Mo He nodded: "Yes, Star Tear, what do you think of the shape of this tear? I think it is quite artistic - this is the inspiration I got when I was making this alchemy prop. I imagined that when everything was destroyed by it, I subconsciously felt pity and shed tears. I am simply generous and kind."
If you are really generous and kind, you won't make such a thing.
The words of the Demon King can only be listened to. After all, the Demon King theoretically has the ability to bewitch people... Although in the previous crusade against the Demon King, this existence did not seem to want to use such power, but the current Demon King would definitely not mind doing so.
"She locked herself in the tower of the White Church, wanting to further communicate with God - although she is already God's agent in the world, I think she should want more, and she will not come out casually. She is probably scared by Godora."
Adeline always felt that she seemed to understand that feeling. If it was herself, being treated by Godora with a killing attitude, I am afraid that there would be great fear in my heart, and I would not even dare to face such a reality. Xia Di probably would not be much better. In any case, Godora is a very special existence to them.
This is not something that can be easily ignored.
"This is not something I should consider. But... I can give you a suggestion." Moher's eyes rolled around, and she obviously had some sinister plans. "I heard before, from Doro, that Xia Di and the Wise King were engaged, whether it was for political interests or some other reason, or even if the two people really had feelings for each other... If the pressure can't be put on Xia Di, then put it on the Wise King.
She can be forced out anyway.
The Human Central Empire and the White Church are basically tied together now, although there must be some filth in it - what do you think?"
I think?
"Good suggestion, I will try to work on this aspect."
Moher then handed the tear to Adeline: "Then the deal is done, Miss Adeline.
Ah! By the way, if you force Xia Di out, and she really wants to marry the Wise King, let them get married before taking action against her. I think this is something we are all looking forward to."
"I will."
...
"Well~ I seem to have drunk too much last night~" Lastina stretched lazily, she felt that she hadn't slept so deeply in a long time.
Miss Moher's mansion is really a nice place. As the eldest daughter of the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce, she always has to consider various things and often relies on drugs and magic to restore some energy. Like this, she doesn't have to worry about anything. She falls asleep naturally after drinking, which makes her feel happy, as if the sky outside the window has become brighter.
Just at this time, Adeline knocked on the door.
"Good morning, Miss Adeline."
"Good morning, Lastina, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Adeline said bluntly, "You know, I have a lot of things to do. Being able to attend a dinner like this is already the limit. I have to leave."
Lastina said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, Miss Adeline, I delayed your time."
"No, don't worry about it. I have heard about your situation. I will write a letter to talk to your father and see if he can reconsider your marriage with the nobles. But he may not listen to my opinion."
"Is this a bit too much trouble for you?"
Although she said so, she was already happy. Obviously, this is something that Lastina really needs.
Adeline couldn't help but feel a little amused: "No need to do this, we are friends, this is what I should do."
