"You sent Mandehara to the Queen's Castle?"
Angor nodded.
Iron Granny sipped her tea and considered for a few seconds. "Mandehara, one of Goman King's Thirteen Daughters. She's a good pawn if used properly.
But she's yours, so you can do whatever you want. If you want to get involved with the Goman Kingdom, I can teach you how to use her. "
Iron Granny paused and gave Angor a serious look. "But I have to warn you to stay out of the Goman Kingdom's business if possible. You can get something out of it, but the biggest benefit of all — the desire for power — is not for you. As for the other benefits, I don't think you're interested in the Dream Wasteland. "
"Lust for power? You mean the desire to be in control?"
"You can think of it that way. But it's not just about power. There's something else going on. It has something to do with an ancient ritual in the Abyss Plane. Otherwise, Goman King wouldn't have chosen his territory. "
Angor didn't expect Goman King's desire for power to have something to do with the Abyss Plane's ritual. That was a shocking secret.
"Secret ritual" actually referred to a "secret ritual", which was an ancient and primitive ritual.
Ancient rituals didn't mean they were more effective. They just meant they were more complicated and tedious than modern rituals. Of course, there were some reasons why they were difficult to decipher.
Primitive rituals didn't mean simple. They meant they didn't contain any morals, morals, or values. They were the most primitive forms of cruelty and bloodshed.
This kind of ancient secret ritual was often filled with a large amount of killing behind it, and it was even a massacre of a certain nature.
It wasn't a big deal in the Abyss Plane, where demons ran rampant. But in the wizarding world, such acts were considered an insult to civilization and values. This was why such rituals were considered taboo in the southern wizarding region.
Because of this, Angor began to question himself.
Before he could ask, Iron Granny spoke first. "You're wondering why Goman King didn't get punished for using the Abyss Plane's ritual?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. Didn't the Supreme Cult have their eyes on him?"
Iron Granny smiled. "Of course they have their eyes on him. Besides, the Supreme Cult isn't the only one who has their eyes on him."
Angor considered. "So you're saying that the major organizations are also keeping an eye on Goman King?"
"Yes," Iron Granny replied.
"Then why is Goman King still alive?" He had even become a huge force.
Iron Granny: "I can answer your question with the words of your first mentor."
"Initiator? Granny, you mean Jon?"
Iron Granny nodded. "Yes. When Jon was compiling the library in Foundation City, he asked me about the southern region. I also talked to him about the various countries, and we talked about the Goman Kingdom. "
"I have to say that your mentor is a wise man with great insight. He is much more shrewd than you. He only needs to give some pointers for him to see the truth behind many problems."
Iron Granny said that Angor was not as smart as Jon, but Angor did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he felt proud of it. After all, he was Jon's only student who taught him everything he knew.
"When Jon was summarizing the chaos in the Goman Kingdom, he said something that fits your question perfectly." Iron Granny paused for a second and said slowly, "The desire for power is a way to balance things."
"Balance?" Angor pondered for a moment and realized something. "You're trying to drive the tiger to chase the wolf?"
Iron Granny was dazed for half a second. Then she smiled. "Comparing a tiger to a wolf, as expected of Jon's student. Both of you are using the same analogy."
Iron Granny nodded. "Yes. That's what I meant."
Angor already knew what was going on.
The ones who wanted to kill Goman King must be the Supreme Cult, and the ones who were used by Goman King to chase the wolves away were most likely from the major wizard organizations according to Iron Granny's hint.
Goman King used this method to maintain a very subtle existence, keeping the other parties in check and balance, which made it safer.
"But to use a tiger to chase a wolf, you need to lure the tiger with benefits. In other words, Goman King still has a bargaining chip that the tiger is eyeing and using. And that bargaining chip is the desire for power? "
Iron Granny nodded. "To be precise, it's the result of the desire for power.
"It's like a person doing a forbidden experiment. Outside his laboratory, there are two groups of people who don't agree with the experiment. However, these two groups also have their own ideas. One group wants to kill the person doing the experiment to solve the problem. The other group thinks that since this experiment is about to end, they might as well see the final result of this forbidden experiment."
Of course, Angor understood what Iron Granny meant.
Goman King was the experimenter. He used the result of the experiment as a bargaining chip to gain the approval of the major organizations, which allowed him to keep the Supreme Cult in check.
"I can understand why the experimenter wants to kill the experimenter. As for the group that wants to see the result, I don't understand. Aren't they worried that the experiment will go wrong? Forbidden experiments are forbidden because they are dangerous and uncontrollable. "
"The answer is simple. What if the result of the experiment happens to touch a knot in the minds of the higher-ups?"
The result of the experiment, the knot in the minds of the higher-ups … Angor began to understand.
The so-called upper echelons naturally referred to the upper echelons of the various major Magus organizations. There was only one thing that was bothering them.
They wanted to become legendary.
"For example, Mister Monkey's knot?"
Iron Granny glanced at Angor. "Why don't you just tell us who's in charge?"
"Mister Monkey, you're the leader of this group?" Angor was surprised.
Iron Granny replied, "Of course. If they didn't have the support of the Moonfrost Union and Monkey, they wouldn't have let it go so easily."
It was no wonder that the major adept organizations treated the Goman Kingdom so strangely. On the surface, they didn't like Goman King, but they didn't do anything to him. They also didn't assign any tasks to their subordinates, even if it was just to ease the situation.
Goman King also allowed the major organizations to send their spies to the Goman Kingdom. Sometimes, he even gave them some benefits.
This was a tacit agreement between the two organizations.
"Goman King is still a long way from becoming legendary. His words might not be true. The result of the experiment might not be related to the breakthrough."
"Well, it might be related to the experiment," Iron Granny said. "Even if it's just a small chance, he'll still give it a try."
Angor didn't say anything.
Mister Monkey would really do something like that.
If he dared to scheme against the descendant of a demon god, the Abyss Ritual of Goman Kingdom was nothing to him. Given Mister Monkey's stubbornness, he wouldn't give up even if there was only a small chance.
Iron Granny continued, "But Goman King has a death wish. He wants to profit from the center of the storm while also becoming a third party. That's how greedy he is. He thinks he can become a chess player, but his weakness is being controlled by someone else. Otherwise, Monkey wouldn't have helped him.
Anyway, I don't think he'll have a good ending. "
Even without Iron Granny's explanation, Angor already knew that Goman King's weakness was the bloodline of the Goman royal family. Otherwise, Iron Granny wouldn't have said that Mandehara was a good chess piece.
However, Angor wasn't interested in the mess that was Goman King and the Goman Kingdom. Besides, he didn't want to get involved in the tripartite scheme. Besides, Mister Monkey was the leader.
However, there was one thing Angor wanted to know.
What was Brute Cavern's stance on this matter?
