Chapter 146 As the Lord of Humanity
"That's what happened."
Duke Reggus described in detail to the wise king everything he had experienced in the Land of the Ancestors.
He was a duke, and reporting to the wise king did not necessarily have to be in a very formal occasion. At this moment, the format was more like afternoon tea.
It was reasonable that he should not report in this way, but the wise king signaled him not to report first and come to him alone.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for being frank, what I can report should not be much different from the information everyone has received. I don't understand why you want me to report alone."
He was very confused. Duke Reggus was not a stupid person. His own strength was not enough to reach the level of a great element mentor. As a duke, this was actually not qualified enough, but Duke Reggus had his own advantages. As a talent specializing in diplomacy in the Human Central Empire, he was quite famous in the international community and was considered one of the cards of the Human Central Empire.
Therefore, even if he only talked about his appearance, he could be regarded as tall, mighty, handsome and handsome.
"Don't be nervous, Lord Reggus. There are only you and me here. I asked you to come alone, but I just have something to explain to you."
Only the two of us?
Even if the wise king said such words, it is certainly unbelievable. After all, theoretically speaking, the strength of the wise king is at most at the level of a great elemental mentor. He will not be without protection around him. As a minister, it is enough to listen to the words that there are only two people, himself and me.
Just treat it as the trust and favor of the wise king.
"Sir Reggus doesn't seem to believe it... But it doesn't matter." The wise king's attitude was very strange. "I asked you to come here, but I only have one question to ask."
"Please go ahead."
"In the struggle between the brave A. Godora and the elf queen that you saw, was the brave A. Godora still a human?"
Reggus was stunned. He was in charge of diplomatic issues and was also very good at dealing with people, but why would the wise king ask such a question? The brave A. Godora was of course a human...
He saw it.
Seeing the extremely serious look in the wise king's eyes, he knew that this was a very important question.
He closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he saw A. Godola descend. Although it was extremely chaotic at that time, and everyone was running for their lives, but...
"I am sure, Your Majesty, he is a human."
The wise king stared into Reggus's eyes, and Reggus responded to such a look positively.
The great king finally showed a trace of relaxation: "If that's the case, then it's good."
Reggus hesitated, and many doubts arose in his heart.
"Sir Reggus, I know the doubts in your heart, but it doesn't matter. Since I summoned you alone today, I want to tell you all the words. You can say all the doubts in your heart."
"Why do you ask the brave A. Godola whether he is still a human? Based on our understanding of that brave, even if he has established cooperation with the Demon King, he will not betray humanity... This is the answer recognized by many scholars."
The wise king shook his head slightly: "That's not the question, Sir Reggus, why don't you answer me a question first, what do you think of the Demon King?"
"Demon King?"
What do you think of the Demon King?
"The public enemy of all races. An existence that must be destroyed. A terrible life that once dominated the world with fear... and also an ultimate life form that has reached the pinnacle in all fields."
There are many descriptions like this.
He said some bad descriptions to show his position, and said some flattering words to show the power of the Demon King. If the Wise King is dissatisfied, he can also say that such a Demon King was also defeated under the leadership of the Wise King, which shows the greatness of the Wise King...
It should be a more perfect answer.
"I don't want to hear these repetitive words, Lord Reggus. I know your past very well. This has never been a secret. Like most humans in this world, you have been bullied by the demons and have a deep hatred for the demons. This is also the foundation for us to unite and overthrow the rule of the Demon King."
Reggus could not help but remain silent.
At this point, why did the Wise King say this?
Those nightmares that had been sealed in the dust should have dissipated with the wind with the death of the Demon King, but the Demon King is not really dead - the nightmares brought by the Demon King still appear from time to time in Reggus's sleep.
And now, that nightmare is reviving little by little.
Seeing the expression on Reggus's face, the wise king couldn't help but laugh: "You are a little nervous, Lord Reggus. I said this with no other meaning... I just have a question."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think humans can become like that?"
Become like that?
What would it be like to become like that?
Reggus actually knew what the wise king was talking about, but he didn't dare to think about it, and didn't dare to respond.
"I told you, there are only two of us here, Lord Reggus." The wise king opened his arms. "Have you ever thought about this? One day, other races will fear humans as much as they fear demons? Have you ever thought that one day, even if we do nothing and say nothing, other races will have to show goodwill to humans in order to protect themselves, just for fear of a small misunderstanding. Just like the Thunder Emperor who was once sent to the demons as a tribute, the demon king actually despised this... You have now reached this position, and your every word and action, every small move, will be taken seriously by others, and you can also experience the taste of such power... But it's not enough, right?"
The wise king's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Lord Reggus, this is not enough, right? The Human Central Empire seems to be very powerful, but the Elf Queen makes a deal with us, and the White Church also makes a deal with us. The Alchemist Association directly opened the island above our city, and the Curse Alliance doesn't know what it is doing in secret... Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
How should Reggus answer this question? This might be a question that will cost him his life.
"We have experienced the time when the demons ruled. Before the appearance of the brave A. Godora, before the major races really began to rebel, which race dared to talk about 'deal' with the demons? The closer we were to the time of rebellion, the more submissive we behaved. We didn't even dare to exchange too much extra information, like bugs in the gutter, for fear of being seen by the demon king and then stepped on to death at will."
The wise king reminisced about the past: "Human Central Empire! It sounds so great! We are in the center! But what's the point? If we can drive others to the border, we will naturally be driven to the border by others. Today's Elf Kingdom, tomorrow's Human Central Empire. In the next few years, it is unclear how many countries the Elf Kingdom will be divided into."
This is very presumptuous. Although it is very presumptuous, Reggus couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, what do you want..."
"Humans can become demons!"
Reggus wanted to cover his ears. He shouldn't hear such words. Maybe he shouldn't take up the job of the Elf Kingdom - no, he didn't have any choice!
"You have seen how powerful the brave A. Godora was. Unlike humans, the Elf Queen is undoubtedly the most powerful elf. Together with the Elf Mother Tree, she claims to be invincible in the Ancestral Land and no one can deny it. Even if the entire elf territory is destroyed, as long as she is still alive, the elves will not be defeated... She is also different from other elves. She has superb skills, iron will, and is not afraid of sacrifice or change. I am in awe of such an opponent... But she is dead."
When he said this, there was not even a trace of sadness in the eyes of the wise king: "Like a wild dog on the side of the road, he was easily trampled to death by the brave A. Godora! In the end, he was able to send away other high-ranking elves and the saplings of the Elf Mother Tree. I think it was not because A. Godora could not be killed, but because of his kindness that prevented him from doing it immediately. You should know! What a great power this is!"
"Your Majesty! Isn't this the worst case scenario?"
"The worst?" The wise king tilted his head, "What are you talking about? Such a great power, such a powerful life form, he is a human being!"
Human beings?
No, has the wise king become incompetent because of the political affairs over the years? The brave A. Godora was betrayed by humans, and you said he is a human?
"I know your worries. The brave A. Godora hates us so much. How can he forgive us for our betrayal?"
"In that case..."
"What if we die?"
The wise king suddenly said something incredible: "What if I die, Saint Xia Di dies, Adeline, the source of miracles, and Nifede, the song of the end - all die? All the betrayers are killed, and only those who are loyal to him, love him, believe in him, and follow him forever are left - will he still hate humans?" Reggus is a very
smart person, but at this moment, he still doesn't understand what the wise king is saying and what he is thinking.
"You don't seem to understand. You probably want to say that if that's the case, then it would be better not to betray in the first place... right?"
Reggus subconsciously denied it, but he couldn't speak.
"Human beings are very delicate things." The wise king stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab something. "Before I became the so-called wise king, I tried my best to grab everything. As long as A. Godola was there, there would be someone more dazzling than me. As long as he was there, I couldn't really control the human empire - A. Godola couldn't bring happiness to mankind. That's what I thought. But when I really sat in this position, when I really became the master of mankind - I suddenly devoted myself to the public."
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a bit funny to say, right? During the political struggle, I wanted to put everyone to death and gather all the wealth and power in my hands, but when you really became the master, you suddenly found that since the entire empire is my property - you want it to be better. After all, it's all yours, and it's a natural wish to make it better. At this time, I finally discovered sadly. Nothing can make humans better than the pure power of A. Godola. Just like the demons of the past."
"The internal strife among the demons is serious, but it doesn't matter. With such an existence, one can be superior. So - as the master of mankind. I will give you an order."
