Chapter 213 Negotiation (Part 2)

Freya tilted her head slightly and said, "You are right. I did use you, but this was a decision made after careful consideration. The intelligence collected by my men told me that you fought with other candidates in Tordheim and Gretz and defeated them. The policies implemented in several countries were also local development policies. This made me realize that you and Rocky, whom you support, have different ideas from other candidates, so I made this win-win decision. So I hope, Richard, You can lend me a helping hand and stop the protracted war between gods and demons."

Richard shook his head and rejected Freya: "Although your conditions are good and can reduce our losses, I am not used to having someone around to hold me back. If I become the king of Fluke, will you give up your rights? For example, protect your people."

Freya said decisively: "No, it is my duty as a goddess to protect my people."

Richard said: "However, haven't I become the king of Fluke? They have also become my It is the king's duty to protect his people. One protector is enough for a country."

Freya frowned, and Richard crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Since you are not willing to exercise power, I will not agree to your conditions. Compared to being such a king, I would rather conquer a country without constraints by myself." Freya

stood up and asked: "So, that means the negotiation broke down?"

Richard nodded: "Yes."

Freya looked at Richard, her expression more firm than ever: "Fruk longs for peace, but Fruk is never afraid of war. . "

Richard leaned back in his chair and said lightly: "Then let's meet on the battlefield! I originally thought that there really were people in the world who were fighting for the peace of all races, but it seems I am disappointed again."

Freya, who had just turned around, stopped and turned to look at Richard: "You are slandering me. Until now, I still believe in the peaceful coexistence of all races, and this is not only my personal belief, but also the last wish of Odd, the deceased king of Fluke. I have been working hard for this."

Odd was the former king of Fluke. According to Diluka, Odd was Freya's ex-husband.

"Ha! Ha!" Richard sneered, glancing at Freya. "Stop joking."

"What do you mean?"

Richard tapped the table with his fingers. "Your husband said everything you said about racial peace."

Diluka turned her head and looked at Richard. She felt that something was wrong with Richard's mood. Freya on the other side lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Richard's smile became even brighter. "The so-called request is fake. Everything you negotiated here is to fulfill your husband's last wish, not from your own heart at all..."

If the life span is used to judge the length of a creature's existence in the world, the life of human beings is very short. However, what makes human beings different from the gods, demons, and even beasts is that they have their own dreams.

The gods have no dreams from birth to death. Their whole life is just to complete various missions, just like Diluka, whose mission is to protect Yggdrasil. The life of the demons is dominated by desires. The law of the jungle is their most basic law. If they see something good, they will go to grab it. If they see something fun, they will go to play. The vast majority of demons do not have long-term plans. This long-term refers to a week. The demons focus on immediate interests. This is also closely related to their race, because they don't know whether they will still be alive at this time next week. The beasts are even simpler. Reproduction and survival occupy all their brain capacity.

Only humans have their own dreams. Some are practical and can be accomplished through their own efforts, while some are unrealistic and cannot be accomplished in the next few lifetimes. Some people want eternal life, some want the power of gods or demons, and some just want a stable living environment. It is impossible to say whether dreams are right or wrong. It is precisely because of dreams that the vast majority of humans have the motivation to fight for survival, so humans have become the most special creatures.

Odd's dream was to achieve peace among all races. After his death, Freya took this as her mission.

Richard smiled mockingly: "You never planned to achieve peace from the beginning. You are just fulfilling other people's dreams. You are just a bitch trapped by the fantasy of a dreamer. It's really sad."

Freya's guards immediately drew their weapons, and Richard was not to be outdone. The situation on the field suddenly became tense. But Freya only looked unhappy, and did not lose control of her emotions because of these insulting words. She said slowly: "That's not the case. My wishes are all from the heart."

"Huh." Richard chuckled and asked, "Then, are you willing to sacrifice your people for peace? If you have to choose between peace and sacrificing your people, which one would you choose?"

Freya, who had always answered Richard's questions firmly, did not make a sound this time. Richard's question hit the nail on the head. If Freya chose peace, her duty to protect the people would be thrown behind her; if she chose the people, it would confirm what Richard said before. Freya herself was now asking herself in her heart what she was pursuing.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Richard continued, "I still say the same thing just now. It's really sad. As the god who guards this place, you have lived for so long and should understand better than anyone that it is completely impossible for these hostile races to live together."

Freya regained her smile and said with some regret, "I was wrong. I thought you were different from other demons, but in the end, you are the same, deceiving, seducing, rude... the only difference is that your approaches to these things are different."

"It seems that the negotiations have completely broken down."

Richard blew a whistle, and the soldiers who were ambushed around jumped out.

Freya looked around and smiled more gently: "I'm really busy, so I won't waste time here. I'll go first."

As soon as she finished speaking, the soldiers surrounding Freya turned their guns to attack Richard. Diluka, who had been prepared, burst out with divine power, making these confused soldiers return to normal. But at this moment, Freya disappeared with her companions, and Richard could no longer find their trace.

"Huh" Diluka wiped the sweat off her face and glanced at the side. Richard was still sitting on the chair in the same posture, and he was completely different from the soldiers who had just been dispersed. He asked: "Why do you use that kind of words to describe your sister? You are obviously not disturbed?"
