While Elsa and Tessehákro were chatting, Abedon gave Tang En a look. Then, Tang En left the living room with him and went to the courtyard.
"Please."
Abedon poured a cup of tea for Tang En. The two of them sat under the shade of a tree by the pond and looked at the sparkling water as they tasted the fragrant tea.
After Abedon took a sip of the hot tea, he looked at the water and said in a low voice, "I said I wanted to look for you before, but then I left Ellington and couldn't find an opportunity. I only came back two days ago. I hope I didn't make you wait too long (see Chapter 970 for details)."
Tang En smiled and explained, "No, I was too busy a while ago and forgot about it. I didn't come to find you."
Abedon also smiled, "It seems that today is a good time."
"What do you want to talk about?"
After Abedon pondered for a moment, he suddenly said something that made Tang En stunned.
"Tang En Majesty … I don't know if you can move Ellington away?"
Tang En felt as if he was hearing things, "What did you say? I think I misheard. "
"Your Majesty Twain, I'm not joking. I hope you can seriously consider this matter." Abdon repeated himself and added in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, I'm not joking.
Tang En realized that Abedon didn't seem to be joking. His expression became serious, "I need a reason."
Move Ellington away? This was simply impossible to achieve!
Ellington was no longer the small village it used to be. Now, the Datang Chamber of Commerce was in full swing. The entire Ellington was about to become the economic and financial center of the Irus Empire. Although it was located in a remote area, there was an endless stream of merchants coming from the highway every day.
Hundreds of thousands of people lived here, and the total number of people was increasing every day. Ellington was also actively attracting outsiders. The large labor shortage and the need for talents made it the best city for employment. Also, because of the advanced planning concept, developed urban infrastructure, and perfect residents' welfare, it became the most suitable city to live in.
If there were no accidents, in less than five years, this city would surpass Alinx and become the largest city in the Irus Empire.
Now, there were too many people who had taken root here and deeply loved this land, loved this city, and saw it as their home.
If there wasn't a strong enough reason to convince them, how could they move?
Even if he didn't talk about the residents, Tang En himself wasn't willing to suddenly move the city. Wasting money and manpower was a small matter. In the process, he would lose development time and break his long-term plan. This was the most important thing.
In the long-term plan, the entire surrounding area of Ellington, including the Ladya Forest, the Ladya Plains, and a part of the Emerald Forest, as well as the Ambris Mountains in the upper left corner, had been included in the future development plan. He, Fiona, Kloto, Izali, and the others had spent a lot of effort to perfect the plan. How could they move the city just because of Abedon's words?
Of course, Tang En knew that Abedon wasn't simple. He was very mysterious, and the Dragons had asked him to protect a secret. But if he didn't tell Tang En the secret, how could Tang En casually make such a big move?
"The reason …"
Abedon fell silent again. He looked back in the direction of the living room, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps, you should ask Your Majesty The Dragon King to come. After all, I've promised him to keep this secret until death. I don't want to break my promise."
"Sasaglot?"
"Yes, if he's willing to tell you, he will definitely tell you the secret, but it shouldn't be from me."
Abedon sighed. "All I can tell you now is that I hope you can move Ellington away."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tang En frowned slightly. "If you had told me the secret here earlier, maybe I wouldn't have chosen to start the long-term plan here in the first place."
Abedon smiled bitterly. "When we first met, I didn't expect you to have such a great talent … I thought Ellington would at most become a small village. Who would have thought that in just a year and a half, this place has become a big city with a population of more than 500,000!"
"According to the current development speed, in less than five years, the population here will break through the one million mark. By then, this place will become a huge city on par with Alinx, Shengge City, Nanilla, Bloody Rock City, and New Bul-Kathos!"
"If a disaster happens to a village, the loss is still acceptable. But once it develops into a city like this, if an irreversible disaster happens again, the loss is unacceptable."
Abedon sighed. "I've been struggling for a long time, and finally decided to tell you in advance. I hope you can make a choice as soon as possible."
Tang En looked at Abedon thoughtfully. "Disaster? How terrible is it? "
"If an accident really happens, it will be terrible."
Tang En gently tapped the armrest of the chair. "More terrible than the Dark Serpent? More terrible than the Chaos religion? More dangerous than the creatures of Chaos? "
"Yes."
Abedon nodded. "Compared to them, the Dark Serpent and the Chaos religion are like docile and harmless little animals. They are as dangerous as the creatures of Chaos, and in some aspects, they are even more terrible than the creatures of Chaos."
Tang En noticed that he said "they".
He racked his brain, searching for relevant information in his mind, but he couldn't recall any relevant information.
In the game "War of Chaos" on Earth, there was no relevant background description. Even the hidden mission didn't reveal any relevant clues. It should be noted that the game was created by the gods, or a mysterious helper of the gods, specifically to select a savior. The background of the game was almost completely modeled after Prandal.
In other words, there was no information about this so-called disaster in "War of Chaos". There was a huge difference between the real Prandal and that game.
"I can't say more specific information. This is a man's promise. If you want to know, you can ask Your Majesty The Dragon King."
"Can't Azorkamanda do it?"
Although he didn't like that guy, he had to admit that the success rate of breaking through from him was the highest.
"Although he knows, he can't say it without the permission of Your Majesty The Dragon King."
Abedon reminded Tang En, "No matter what your decision is, please be prepared as soon as possible."
"Why?"
Tang En frowned. "As far as I know, there should be an agreement between you and the Dragon King. Your duty should be to guard or solve this trouble … Is there any trouble?"
"No, there's no trouble. Everything is fine for now."
Abedon said with a wry smile, "It's just that your relationship with Elsa and Elijah is already like this. I just don't want to see you guys get involved. This is a little selfish of mine."
Tang En was slightly relieved when he heard this. He said with a smile, "So it's just you worrying for nothing. Don't worry. Even if there is a disaster, I can solve it."
His mission in this world was to deal with the ultimate crisis that could destroy the world. If the army of Chaos was not here yet and it was solved by a small disaster, what would that be?
It was like a hero's mission was to challenge the Demon King to save the world. In the end, the hero died in the hands of the Demon King's soldiers before he could kill the Demon King. Wasn't that nonsense?
At this moment, he forgot that a hero who died in the hands of a soldier couldn't be called a hero.
The so-called hero was a theory of cause and effect. It was precisely because the result was destined to be able to defeat the Demon King and return alive that the hero was a hero. Otherwise, he would only be a stepping stone for the real hero, a nameless skeleton in the wilderness.
It was the same for him. Choosing him to save the world didn't mean that he would definitely be able to save the world. Only when the mission was completed, he would be an absolute hero and savior. If the mission was not completed, he would just be one of the countless people who could save the world.
Abedon shook his head. "Although I believe in your strength, I still hope that you can be more cautious."
"I know. I'll ask Sasaglot. If necessary, I'll take your advice."
"That's good."
Abedon was relieved. He smiled and said, "I'm making lunch with Clairat. If you don't mind, stay and eat with us."
"Although I also want to try Aunt Clairat's cooking, the Lord's Mansion should already be preparing lunch. If I don't go back, those guys will probably be waiting there."
Tang En smiled and stood up. "I'll go first. I'll leave you two … no, I should say, leave some space for your family."
Tang En believed that Tessehákro and Murphy-haxha must have a lot to say to Abedon and his wife. Elsa, who had been separated for a long time, also needed time to accept her two biological parents. It would be inappropriate for him to disturb them at this moment.
After saying goodbye to Abedon, Tang En directly returned to the Lord's Mansion. After lunch, he returned to his room. He sat in front of the table and closed his eyes to think for a moment. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and disappeared from the room. He appeared in the Temple of Order on Dragon Island.
"Your Majesty The Dragon King."
"Ah! Tang En! You gave me a fright! "
Sasaglot was lazily lying on the ground. In front of him floated a comic book that was bigger than a house. The original comic book was too small and strenuous to read, so he used a transformation spell to enlarge it hundreds of times …
As soon as Tang En appeared, he instantly put away the comic book. The sharp-eyed Tang En caught a glimpse of a corner of the book. The scene was quite hot and exciting …
"I didn't expect you to have such a refined interest."
Tang En made a dig at Sasaglot. Yes, this guy was actually reading a comic book in such a sacred place. It was simply unbelievable.
"Heh heh, I'm just bored."
Sasaglot said with a smile. The Megalosaurus' expression was very subtle. He couldn't tell whether this guy was embarrassed or not.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. I have something to talk to you about."
Tang En went straight to the point. "What deal did you make with Abedon? What secret is he guarding for you? "
