The dull atmosphere permeated between the crowd, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Especially Ripa and Chris, their hearts were completely tense, and they could no longer say a word.
The same was true for Annelotte, looking at Rozen, unable to speak for a long time.
Because no one expected that after coming here, the first question Rozen asked was actually that.
That could be said to hit the nail on the head.
Among the many secrets, the one Rozen mentioned was definitely the most secretive and the most undisclosed thing.
Therefore, Annelotte and others could only fall silent.
And Rozen was not in a hurry at all. He looked at Annelotte quietly, his eyes were full of brilliance.
Looking at Rozen like that, everyone, including Annelotte, had a trace of admiration in their hearts.
Being able to look at the current situation calmly in such a situation, it showed that Rozen was brilliant, and he was no different from what the rumors said.
But …
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this yet."
Annelotte took a deep breath and gave such an answer.
"Is that so?" Rozen narrowed his eyes and said, "But I seem to remember that His Majesty Pope took this as a reward and was going to tell the winner of the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, right?"
Hearing that, Annelotte smiled bitterly instead.
"Mr. Rorelles, you are a smart man. You should be very clear why I used such words as a reward for the winner of the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, right?"
Annelotte actually said that.
But Rozen had already guessed that Annelotte would use this kind of words as the winner's reward, just to attract the airships of the floating cities from all over the world, and then use them to fight against Jayz's faction.
In addition, the eyes of Jess's faction would definitely be attracted by this so-called reward.
In that case, the Aerial Martial Arts Festival may become the stage for the duel between the Papists and Jess Faction.
"So, now is not the time to tell you." Annelotte said helplessly, "If Mr. Rorelles chooses to join us, then we will naturally tell you more secrets."
There was nothing wrong with that.
It was just like when Rozen transferred Ramina to another team. Although he had an important mission on hand, he could not tell Ramina the details of the mission before she joined the S128 Special Agent Team to prevent important information from being leaked.
Annelotte was the same. He definitely had information that could be called "The Truth of the Creation of the World" in his hands, but due to the importance of the information, he could not tell unrelated outsiders.
And now, Annelotte was not sure if Rozen would join them.
Since that was the case, he naturally couldn't tell Rozen about such an important secret.
"I can only tell you that we know more than you think."
Annelotte seemed to be tempting Rozen and said one by one.
"What are Magic Beetles?"
"Why did they appear in this world?"
"Why did humans become enemies with them?"
"What happened four hundred years ago?"
"We know all of this."
Annelotte said to Rozen in a strong voice.
"As long as Mr. Rorelles is willing to join us to defeat the Magic Beetles, then I will definitely choose to share these important information with you."
The implication was that if he did not join, then Annelotte could not tell anything to Rozen.
That was not a threat, but a right he deserved.
No one would choose to tell important information to an outsider, unless that outsider became one of their own, which was another matter.
Naturally, Rozen was aware of such a thing.
It was just …
"You have the right to keep the information, then I also have the right to choose."
Rozen said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty Pope, please be clear that I did not come to see you because I want to know this so-called secret."
In fact, even if Rozen didn't know the secret, it didn't matter to him at all.
Otherwise, Rozen would not have been hiding in Mistergang to persist in his own research, but he would have flown around the world to find the truth.
And with Rozen's ability, was it difficult to know the truth?
The reason why he did not know was not that Rozen did not have the ability to know, but Rozen did not have the idea about it.
Therefore, Rozen came here not to make a deal with Annelotte, but to give His Majesty Pope a chance.
That's right, a chance.
"I will choose whether to join you or not according to the truth you reveal."
Rozen said bluntly.
"Please be clear, now it's not that you want to exchange the truth for my combat power, but can you give me an explanation and convince me to join you."
That was the meaning of the conversation.
That was the form of negotiation.
However, these words fell into the ears of others, and it was not easy to be appeased.
"What do you mean by that?" Ripa's eyes widened, and he said to Rozen angrily, "Since you are a human pilot, then in order to prevent humans from being destroyed by the demon beetles, you should fight with us!"
Obviously, everyone did not expect that Rozen would disregard his position as a human and say such words.
Rozen couldn't help but laugh.
"If that's the case, I would like to ask." Rozen looked at Chris and said, "Head of the academy, you are a demon beetle. Since you are a demon beetle, why did you choose to stand on the side of humans and betray Jess?"
A simple sentence made Chris's gaze fluctuate, and made Ripa even more speechless.
This was simply the most incisive counterattack, was it not?
"Presumably, the head of the academy has her own reasons. That's why as a demon beetle, you stand on the side of humans, right?" Rozen said indifferently, "Then, although I am a human, who can stipulate that I must stand on the side of humans and not the demon beetles?"
If it was not so, why would Jess do everything possible to rope in Rozen?
Therefore, race did not mean anything at all.
It was not that Rozen did not want to help the human race. It was just that in a war between two great races, the starting point of both sides, and where was the greater good, were very important.
"I will not blindly choose a side, and I will not be biased towards one side because of race. As long as you can convince me, I will join you. It's that simple."
Rozen expressed his thoughts.
"Jess failed to convince me and even attacked me, so I will be his enemy."
"If you can't convince me, then I will leave directly. If you want to attack me, I don't mind being your enemy."
"As for the result of your fight, it has nothing to do with me."
"I just want to say that I don't have to deal with all demon beetles. As long as I deal with Jess, I can complete my purpose of coming to Vibelle."
"Do as you see fit."
Leaving such words, Rozen turned around and left.
Only Annelotte, Chris, and Ripa were left, watching Rozen's departure, speechless for a long time.
