Han Jin slowly walked out of the magic laboratory, leaving behind a bright starlight. A figure stood silently in the starlight, like a lifeless statue.
The moment the wall closed, Guevara saw the figure. He whispered, "Raphael, have you removed the seal?"
"Yes." Han Jin nodded.
"Did he agree?"
"He didn't say yes, nor did he say no. It seems … it will take some time before he can fully accept his past memories." Han Jin said, "However, I have given him enough freedom. He can leave the God of War anytime and anywhere. Catherine should be able to find him and save us some trouble."
"You're letting him go just like that?" Gao Bin frowned.
"What else can I do?"
"With your magic power, it shouldn't be difficult to leave some …" Gao Bin wanted to say something but stopped.
"Some what?"
"Some small means to control him."
"It's useless. I can control his body, but I can't control his heart." Han Jin shook his head and said, "It's better to give him freedom so that I can gain his trust." “
"Using emotions to move him? That doesn't seem like your style. "Gao Bin laughed.
"What style do I have?" Han Jin also laughed.
"At least, you won't place the key to success or failure on his trust in you."
Han Jin sighed softly and used his fingertips to sweep his chest as if he was brushing away dust. Then he winked at Gao Bin, turned around, and walked towards the corridor. "Wild children also have to go home, right?"
Gao Bin was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly understood. He immediately felt Guevara's gaze and turned his head. Both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Wild children also have to go home. Others who heard this sentence might not realize anything, but Gao Bin and Guevara almost simultaneously guessed Han Jin's hint.
If Lennon was an unruly child, then the Battle Robe of Light was Lennon's home. If the Battle Robe of Light was destroyed, Lennon would not be able to continue living. The angels summoned from the Divine Armament Set were different from other angels. To be precise, their nature was similar to Harley's. They were weapon spirits. As long as Han Jin was in control of the Battle Robe of Light, Lennon would not be gone forever.
Guevara quickly caught up with Han Jin and whispered, "Raphael, now that we have solved Catherine's problem, we can finally take a breather. But as for what to do in the future, you need to quickly come up with an idea."
Han Jin stopped in his tracks and was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "We've already endured for too long, so from now on … let's be a little more unbridled."
"Unscrupulous? Sir, what do you mean? "Zenglin asked in astonishment.
"That is to say, I don't want to endure anymore." Han Jin said, "Mr. Zenglin, when do you think we can have a batch of Demon Annihilation Crossbows?"
"Miss Yalina has just mastered the craftsmanship of the Demon Annihilation Crossbow, but she is not very proficient yet. Hogan and Kane can only be her assistants temporarily. They still need at least half a month to learn." Zenglin frowned. "With only the four of us … I think it will take at least three years."
"What if we gather some mages from the Immortal Bird Mage Legion?"
"Raphael, you have to think carefully!" Gao Bin hurriedly said.
"I just said that we don't need to worry so much." Han Jin said, "In order to resist the threat of Black Dragon King Valentine, Dragon City and Dragon Realm have already started to cooperate. Do you think we can still count on those Superior Dragons to be fooled by us? Let's just treat it as … the truth is revealed! "
"Okay." Gao Bin shrugged.
"Mr. Zenglin, you haven't answered my question yet," Han Jin said.
"Immortal Bird Mage Legion? I have heard a lot about you … "Zenglin thought seriously for a moment." There are enough magic crystals here. If we can get more than ten mature mages to help us, I am confident that we can make the first batch of Demon Annihilation Crossbows within three months. "
"Okay, let's do it." Han Jin said, "Majordomo Gail, please contact Grand Duke Solomon immediately."
"I understand." Majordomo Gail nodded.
"Unscrupulous?" Guevara laughed. "Then I have a new idea."
"What idea?" Han Jin asked.
"The messengers from Morrisons and Sassoux have returned," Guevara said. "According to them, at the beginning, Lord Malith was very friendly towards Morrisons and Sassoux, but when it came to cooperation, he would try to change the topic. At that time, he probably hadn't decided whether to join us or not, haha … If he wanted our help, he knew that he had to pay a price. Chesam, on the other hand, doesn't want to confront us. With Depew City between us, it's much safer. That's why he withdrew his main force, greatly reducing the pressure on Malishen. That's why he thinks he has room to bargain.
"What happened after that?" Gao Bin asked. He knew that Guevara wouldn't say so much for no reason.
"There were two things that greatly affected Malith," Guevara said with a smile. Guevara smiled and said, "Chesam forming an alliance with us is undoubtedly a huge blow to Malishen. His Depew City is in grave danger and could be destroyed at any time."
"When Raphael returned from Cold Shadow City, I told him that Morrisons and Sassoux were about to return." Gao Bin smiled. "What about the other thing?"
"Depew City's situation has always been bad. To the north is Kuman City, and to the south is Holy Crown City. Malith's strength is the weakest, and the only reason he was able to struggle until now was because Kuman City had been doing its best to resist Cold Shadow City's invasion. Meanwhile, Holy Crown City and Black Raven City were engaged in a chaotic battle and didn't have the energy to look back," Guevara said slowly. "But Malith was well aware of the danger he was in. More than a decade ago, he had his younger brother join the Freedom Federation, leaving a way out for himself."
"That was a wise choice," Han Jin said.
"Yes, I can see that Ma Lishen is also a little smart." Guevara smiled. "Unfortunately, the army of the Abyss World has appeared. Haha … Malith's younger brother sent him an urgent letter. In just a few days, three cities of the Freedom Federation have been completely destroyed, and the main army has suffered heavy casualties. He estimated that the Freedom Federation could only hold on for another four months at most, so he decided to escape with his personal army and followers."
"Escape? They want to return to Depew City? " Gao Bin said, "Interesting. Malith was barely able to maintain the current situation, but his escape route was cut off."
"This should be the reason why Malith made up his mind," Guevara said. "The day after tomorrow, or three days after that, Morrisons and Sassoux will arrive at Holy Crown City, and Malith will be coming along with them."
"He's coming in person?" Majordomo Gail asked.
"To show his sincerity," Guevara smiled.
"How did Morrisons and Sassoux know about this?" Han Jin asked.
"He used to avoid answering our requests directly. Of course, he has to give us an explanation now," Guevara said.
"That's right." Gao Bin said, "He's using that letter to tell us that he has nowhere to go and has given up. He sincerely wants to join us, and as long as we treat him better, he will never betray us."
"Mr. Guevara, what you just said is …"
"Malith only wants to keep his current rights and interests. If you want him to feel at ease, Raphael, you can confer him the title yourself," Guevara said softly.
Everyone was silent. Everyone knew that Guevara's reason was to let Malith feel at ease to join the Holy Crown City Group, but secretly, he wanted Han Jin to be the king. Only the king was qualified to confer the title of a lord. Malith came to Holy Crown City only to reach a cooperative relationship. Even if it was a servile cooperation, it was still a kind of alliance. Would he agree? What would Chesam, who had already reached an alliance, think?
This kind of thing was extremely complicated. Considering the relationship between the Capital of Elements and the Holy Crown City, those who knew the inside story knew that Han Jin and Solomon would always cooperate with each other sincerely. It was impossible for them to cause any conflicts, because both of them were idealistic but not ambitious. The former preferred to be a pure scholar, while the latter was devoted to cultivation. However, if Han Jin really became the king, the relationship between them would become delicate. The father and son-in-law might still be able to trust each other, but it would be difficult for others to do so.
Majordomo Gail tightly pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be wrong. Persuading him to join the Capital of Elements was tantamount to betraying the Capital of Elements. Opposing him would mean offending the powerhouses of the Holy Crown City.
Gao Bin's expression was also very complicated. From a personal point of view, the higher Han Jin went, the happier he would be. However, from the perspective of the Elves, submitting to the rule of humans was undoubtedly a great sorrow.
Only Guevara's eyes were the most resolute. This used to be his dream. A few years ago, he had pinned his hopes on Han Jin and was willing to do anything for this dream.
If Jeddis were here, his expression would be even weirder. When Nicholas became the king, he was extremely excited. His friend's pride was also his pride. He even put his arm around Nicholas' shoulder and got drunk together. History was always surprisingly similar. However, he had already had a carnival in his life. Thinking about it now made him feel helpless and sad. He would not be as excited as before if he had another one.
Han Jin was silent for a long time, and said softly, "Let's wait for Malishen to arrive at the Holy Crown City and see his reaction."
"Okay." Guevara was surprised and happy. He thought that Han Jin would refuse, and the others might also object. The reason was very good. The Abyss World was invading, and the situation was critical. Rashly claiming the title of king would destroy the unity. However, Han Jin did not agree, nor did he disagree, which meant that he had succeeded halfway.
"Let's go." Han Jin changed the topic. "Today is Yalina's big day. Don't let her wait too long."
Of course, Han Jin and Yalina's wedding ceremony was still far away. However, today was the day when Yalina would officially wear the badge of Grand Magus. The badge would be presented by the former president of the Magic Guild of the Grand Light Empire, Glynn. In a sense, this was much more important than the wedding. Countless young people got married every day, but there was not a single Grand Magus born every year.
