Supper was the best consolation after a tiring day.
The two of them focused on the crayfish in front of them, chatting occasionally, and toasting from time to time. It wasn't that sweet, but there was also a blissful warmth.
"Do you think Amy will be angry if she comes downstairs and sees us having supper behind their backs?" Irina asked Meg with a smile as she sucked her fingers.
"Maybe. She must be super fierce." Meg nodded with a smile as he looked at the smiling Irina. "But she's still growing, so it's not suitable for her to have supper at night."
"Are you going to Rodu with her the day after tomorrow?" Irina asked as she took a bite of the mutton skewer.
"I won't be going. With the Crassus' power and status in the Roth Empire, Amy will definitely be safe." Meg shook his head, and added, "There's a Delicacy Conference in Chaos City three days later. I've already promised the Food Association's president that I will attend."
"Mm-hmm." Irina nodded slightly. Crassus was like a godfather in the Roth Empire's magic world. Andre must have had the intention of roping him in by inviting him back to host the Magic Caster Conference, so there wouldn't be any danger. "Did anyone from the Roth Empire come to look for you today?"
"I didn't see anyone." Meg shook his head. "Besides, they probably don't know where to look for me."
"That's true. A powerhouse who has no scruples is the scariest." Irina nodded with a smile.
"Compared to that, I'm actually more worried about where the remaining half of the Great Old One is sealed. Since the Great Old One in the Thunderstorm Mountains could break free from the seal, the remaining half would most likely be able to do it too." Meg put down his wine glass with a grave expression.
"During the celebratory banquet held by the city lord's castle previously, the powerhouses of the various races had already reached an agreement. Every race would search for possible traces of the Great Old One within their territories. Once they find anything, they would inform the various races immediately and deal with it together," Irina said.
"I'm just afraid that they've been sealed in a desolate place, or in some dangerous places, or even in the vast ocean. You have to know that Lantisde was also a continent 10,000 years ago." Meg was still not very optimistic.
"If I can fully control the Holy Light, perhaps I can purify them directly," Irina said after some thought.
"Before that, all the races of the Norland Continent still have to work together to make some preparations. At least, the first step will be to renew the peace treaty during the peace conference a few days later."
"I don't think the Roth Empire will agree. They have the power to challenge the dragons, but their territory is almost the same as the goblins."
"Actually, I also agree that we should redivide the territories of all the races. 100 years ago, during the peace negotiations, we divided the territories according to the power of each race. However, we used a racial war that engulfed the entire Norland Continent to verify the power of each race.
A hundred years had passed, and there were differences in strength between the various races. It was already different from back then. The size of the Roth Empire's territory is the lowest among all the races. More than half of it is frozen land that can't be cultivated or used. This is a huge obstacle to the survival and development of humans. "
"You want to restart the war?" Irina was a little shocked.
"No. What I want to do is to put aside the war, and rearrange the power of each race on the negotiation table. After that, we will redivide the undeveloped lands according to the power of each race.
The dragons occupy the Dragon Island, but the land under the Dragon Island that is several times bigger than the Roth Empire is completely deserted. There is also a large piece of deserted mountainous land in the southwest of the orcs' territory. There is quite a lot of such land.
If we can give some of these lands to the Roth Empire, it will be enough for the Roth Empire to settle down their citizens. "
"Do you really think Andre will be satisfied with this bit of land? Moreover, I'm afraid the other races will find it hard to accept such an act of ceding land. "Irina didn't agree.
"I know Andre's ambition, and I also know that the other races won't be able to accept ceding land easily. However, if Andre doesn't have a valid reason, he won't be able to make the Roth Empire fully participate in a racial war that engulfs the entire Norland Continent. This will be fatal to his plan. " Meg smiled. "Although I am no longer a general of the Roth Empire, I should still have some influence."
Irina's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be deep in thought.
"If we can maintain 100 years of peace, we only need to work hard to remove the barriers between the different races in these 100 years, and let the entire Norland Continent be like Chaos City. All the races can live together on equal terms and become one. Then, we can solve the possibility of racial war," Meg continued.
"Although I feel that this won't be an easy task, at least Chaos City has already proven that it is possible." Irina nodded, and looked at Meg with admiration.
…
"Scram! All of you, get out!!! "
The expensive tea set and porcelain were all over the floor, and the whole bedroom was in a mess. A few maids ran out of the room in a panic.
The two 10th-tier knights guarding the door looked at each other, and closed the door helplessly.
Josh, whose hair was disheveled, leaned against the corner of the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the floor. He picked up the wine flask in his hand and poured it into his mouth. His eyes were a little dazed.
His left ear had been shaved off, making his originally handsome face look a little strange.
"Alex! How can you get up again and again … "Josh clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deep into his flesh as he growled like a wild beast.
It had been two days since he returned from Chaos City, but he still couldn't walk out of the shadow of that sword.
He lost an ear, his dignity, and his courage to face Alex.
The phrase 'I'll come and take your life at any time' echoed in his mind every day like a curse. Even the slightest movement outside would make him extremely nervous. If he didn't get himself drunk, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
However, for the past two days, even getting himself drunk had become such a difficult task.
Alex attracted the lightning to blast the demon, slashed Westin with his flying sword, and cut off his ear with one strike. He had left an indelible mark in his heart.
"Become my servant. I will bestow upon you the great power that has been passed down since ancient times. I will let you kill all your enemies, and let those who are not loyal to you fall into the boundless hell …" A tempting voice sounded in his heart.
Josh looked up at the wooden box under his bed, and his eyes flickered.
…
"Josh is already crippled. Alex's actions have done me a huge favor." In the First Prince's residence, Xiao En stood in front of the hall, wearing his armor. He looked toward the south with a carefree smile on his face. There was a small ball of paper beside his feet, which had been shattered by the power of his finger. Then, it was blown away by the wind.
What happened to Josh in Chaos City naturally didn't escape his ears. For the past two days, Josh had shut himself in, and his incompetence and rage were all within his control.
The road to power had never been so smooth.
