Simir's expression became even worse.
Allen, however, had no intention of stopping. He continued, "Besides, it's too ridiculous to pin your hopes on a single person. That's the fate of your entire race. Is it really okay to put it on a legendary figure so casually? Besides, how do you know that Andorra is definitely worth entrusting hope to? Even if that person is still alive, where was he when your people were captured? Where was he when the planet was destroyed? Do you still expect someone who doesn't dare to stand up in the face of a calamity that threatens the survival of your race to lead you in resistance? "
"Stop! Stop! "Simir shouted as she covered her ears.
She was a strong girl, but at this moment, tears were welling up in her eyes. Her long-held beliefs had been cruelly pushed down by Allen. It was already good that she didn't collapse immediately. Although she didn't want to admit it, there was another voice in Simir's mind that kept reminding her that Allen might be right. If someone else had said that, Simir would have laughed it off. But if that person was the emperor of the Specter Kingdom, the weight would be completely different. Therefore, she didn't want to admit it, but her rationality told her that Allen was right. This made the girl rather conflicted.
Allen separated her hands and said, "Instead of betting on a Sunstrider, why don't you consider cooperating with me? Simir, give me the information on Omega. There's no need to go to Loz. Come back to Agares with me tomorrow. After I quell the rebellion, I'll attack Omega with all my strength. Your people will be saved, and I can give you a territory to recuperate. "
"No, the Sunstrider is definitely still alive. His Majesty Andorra will liberate us. I believe in him, I believe in him!" Simir shook off Allen's hand, jumped out of bed, and rushed out of the door.
Allen looked at the door and sighed. Just as he was about to close the door, his heart stirred. A hand pressed against the edge of the door, and Tarot's face appeared in front of Allen. The old man whispered, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Allen. I heard your conversation, and I actually agree with your proposal. But Miss … No, Princess. She had always believed in the legend of the Sunstrider, the man who was her great-grandfather, and that Andorra would definitely liberate the Gus. These beliefs are the driving force that has supported her all the way, so she can't accept your opinion for a while, even if what you said is a better solution at the moment. "
"It's okay, I'm just giving you a suggestion. Of course, if she insisted on going to Planet Luo Zi, I would go there as well. But after that, you must hand over the information on Omega to me according to the agreement. "
"Of course." Tarot stepped back and said, "Excuse me."
Allen nodded and was about to close the door. Taro added, "Actually, you are right. We Gus do not have the courage to resist the Kidds. During the hundreds of years of slavery, those who had the courage had long since died at the hands of the Kidds. The rest were nothing more than trying to live. The princess knew this as well. She also knew that she did not have the power to awaken the courage of her people. That was why she persistently pursued a legend. She thought that maybe His Majesty Andorra could give them courage again … "
"I see." Allen closed the door.
Looking at the tightly shut door, the old man sighed and left with heavy steps.
The next day, Allen was having breakfast on the bottom floor of the tavern when Himir walked over. Her eyes were a little swollen. It seemed that she had cried a lot last night. The girl bowed to Allen and said, "Good morning, Your Majesty."
"Are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Himir spoke politely, but there was a sense of alienation. "If Your Majesty doesn't have any instructions, I'll go eat."
Allen nodded. He naturally didn't need to curry favor with a little girl, even if he knew that she was speaking to him in such an attitude in a fit of pique. In fact, this was also an immature approach, but thinking about how Himir had just reached adulthood, it was normal for her to do so.
After they ate breakfast, Old Bloo called a land car to take them to the starship's berth. Before leaving, Old Bloo said to Himir, "Please be careful, Your Highness."
"Got it." Himir closed the door.
It would take more than two hours to get to Planet Loz. After the starship took off, Allen stayed in a small room. He planned to return to Agares after escorting Himir on this last trip. When the time came, he would go to Demonic Ring City and see if Lamar had the guts to sit on the throne in the Shadow Hall. If Lamar dared to do so, then Allen wouldn't mind letting him be the shortest emperor. The next step was naturally to deal with Omiska. Since Saffron had given him such a big gift, it wouldn't be right if he didn't reciprocate. There was a knock on the door, and Allen called out, "Come in." The automatic door opened and Tarot crawled in. The moment this old Gus crawled into the room, the space immediately became crowded. Tarot rubbed his head and said, "Sorry, Your Majesty. It would have been better if Miss Himir came … "
Allen knew that Himir was still angry and nodded. "It's okay. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. I want to explain to you some things you need to pay attention to when you get to Planet Loz." Tarot said, "Although we have Mr. Thom's information, we still have to keep a low profile in our search for the Sunstrider. Although Planet Loz is not a colonial planet of the Kidds, the Kidds have also set up a few armies on that planet. If it's not necessary, we don't want to clash with the Kidds. "
Ellen said "Oh" and said, "No problem. I'll settle my accounts with the Kidds later."
Tarot thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, if we can't find the Sunstrider, I wonder if you can help us escape from the Kidds' enslavement."
Allen smiled and said, "Don't you think it's better for Himir to tell me about this?"
"If that's the case, then I understand."
"I don't understand." Allen asked, "Your Majesty Andorra has been missing for so long. How are you sure he's still alive?"
"This matter happened two years ago. At that time, we accidentally discovered an item belonging to His Majesty Andorra. After investigating, we found the person who brought it out. In his contact with him, he seemed to have seen someone who looked like His Majesty. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he was killed. We believe it was done by the Kidds. Thus, we downloaded the information about Omega, especially the data about that spatial weapon, and escaped. "
"In that case, you plan to use Omega's information to threaten the Kidds if necessary."
Tarot nodded. "That's right. If that information is made public, Omega will be an undefended stronghold. The Kidds will be afraid, and they won't dare to kill until they get the item back. Otherwise, Fini wouldn't have captured Thom to threaten him yesterday. She would have charged in directly. "
"Understood." Allen didn't say anything else after he finished speaking. Tarot was tactful and got up to leave.
Planet Loz was poor in resources, but the planet produced a special mineral that could produce enormous energy by refining it. Unfortunately, the people of Loz did not have this kind of refining technology, and they had never discovered the value of this precious mineral. When the Kidds discovered it, they easily occupied hundreds of important mineral veins on the planet. As they continued to dig, the environment of Planet Loz quickly became worse, which was an even worse disaster for the natives of the planet. The Kidds only gave this mineral a number, and the people of Loz called it the Blood of Loz.
If the entire Yordon Domain was regarded as a huge city, then Agares would definitely be the place where the rich people lived. As for Planet Loz, it would undoubtedly be the slums. The Gus' starship landed in a wilderness. When Allen walked off the deck, a gust of wind with the smell of rust blew in his face. The wind carried a large number of metal particles, hitting the outer armor of the starship and making a sound like frying beans. If it hit a person's face, it would even cause blood. Therefore, Himir and the others wrapped themselves from head to toe, and even wore goggles on their eyes. Otherwise, it would be difficult to move on the ground in this climate. As for Allen, he was not afraid of this kind of bad weather, but in order to not attract attention, he also put on protective clothing like Himir.
Tarot was directing the ship's personnel to put down a land vehicle. The land vehicle, like the starship, looked very old, as if it could be thrown into a garbage dump at any time. However, after sitting on it, he found that the space inside was spacious, and the performance was not bad after starting it. It was enough to camouflage the starship. The land vehicle left the starship's berth and drove into a town more than an hour later. The buildings in this town were low, and a row of chimneys could be seen from afar, continuously emitting thick black smoke into the sky. The town was filled with filthy air. When Allen jumped out of the car, his keen senses became a problem. He could easily distinguish the smell of rust, oil, and a dozen other smells in the air. These smells were all caused by heavy pollution. Green fluorescent sewage could be seen everywhere in the town, and the unprotected drainage ditches were filled with a stench.
Beside the drainage ditches, there were Luo Zi children playing, as if they didn't care about the sewage beside them at all.
The Luo Zi people had big heads and small bodies, and they looked a little like green children walking upright. Their skin was dark in color, and there were proliferating muscles on their bodies, but it was unknown if it was a mutation due to environmental pollution or if it was originally like this. Apart from the children, the adult Luo Zi had lifeless eyes, like soulless walking corpses. They only glanced at Allen and the other outsiders, but they didn't dare to pass by. They didn't seem to be vigilant towards strangers at all.
