The bronze clock made a ticking sound, and the sound of pages flipping could be heard from time to time. It was very quiet here, and the curtains blocked the sunlight, filling the room with an oppressive atmosphere.
"Then Lord Klaus, I found that the King appointed you as the highest law enforcer. In the process of restoring the Empire's economy, you have the power to temporarily change the laws of the Empire. This is illegal. No matter what, according to the rules of the world, the Brave are not allowed to use their own power to interfere with the laws of any Empire, whether directly or indirectly."
Gotha of the Union's investigation team raised his head. He was holding a large book in his hand, and on it was recorded the laws of various countries.
"Apart from being a Hero, I'm also Karlis' general. I don't think it's appropriate to deprive me of my authority as a general just because I've somehow become a Hero. Furthermore, I've never used my identity as a Hero to gain anything …"
"Lord Klaus, Lord Klaus, please listen to me. You have misunderstood my meaning. I did not say that your status as a general will be taken away. This is about your authority to influence the laws of your Empire, as well as your military power. According to the rules, after you become a Brave, you should return them to the King. You have a more important mission to accomplish. You are not only a general of the Kalise Empire, but also a Brave of the entire human race. You should have a higher consciousness. The survival of the human race should be your first priority."
Gotha abruptly interrupted the Demon King's words, which made the Demon King a little unhappy.
"Speaking of which, this status of a Brave makes me feel a little unreal. Furthermore, before this, as far as I know, other than me, the other Brave didn't seem to act like you said. They are all standing on the side of their Empire. Including the two great Brave who have already sacrificed themselves. Am I right? "
The Demon King looked at Gotha. Gotha's expression didn't change. He smiled faintly and nodded: "My view on this is somewhat different from Lord Klaus. In my opinion, they are all carrying out the great mission of resisting the Demon Race."
"But they are not working together. They are fighting alone. As far as I know, the Demon King's numbers are already less than the Brave. As long as the Brave work together, I believe that the war will end quickly. But now? The Hero of the Luas Empire is missing, the Hero of the Dragon Boat Empire is injured, the Hero of the Rhode Island is still cultivating on the island, and the Hero of the Myriad Serpent Tribe … Hmph, I think you should investigate that Gianna before suspecting me of being the Regent. I heard that she is called the Queen by the people. "The Demon King sneered.
"As for Gianna the Hero, she was originally a member of the royal family and had a certain amount of political power. In reality, she was not a queen, nor did she claim to be a king. Our Guild is currently working hard to unite the Brave Ones. We hope that you'll be the first to stand out and become the one to rally the other Brave Ones. "
"I will."
Hearing this reply, Gotha was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be a little surprised that the other party actually agreed without even thinking about it. He beamed with joy and was about to say something.
"But not now. What I want to do is to make the Kalis Empire rich and strong. If a hero abandons his own people and leaves them to live in famine and war, then what's the point of being a hero?"
Hearing this, Gotha nodded. This was the reply that he had expected. He was already prepared for it.
"You're right. I agree with you very much. However, these two things don't have to be a choice. You can work together with our Adventurer's Guild while revitalizing the Kalis Empire. Moreover, we can help each other, just like how our Guild helped in the past."
After saying this, Gotha leaned back on the chair as if victory was already in his hands.
"The one who helped me was Miss Rayle Phoenix from the Guild. She risked her life to help us, which made the people of Kalis very touched. Before this, when the Eagle Group threatened the survival of the Kalis Empire, may I ask where the Adventurer's Guild's support was? "
"We can't interfere with internal affairs. We also hope to help, but we must abide by the world law."
"As far as I know, in your eyes, Miss Rayle's support doesn't seem to abide by the so-called world law. If you really want to cooperate with me, then let Miss Rayle talk to me."
The Demon King replied resolutely, which made Gotha's expression turn ugly. Duke Matthew couldn't help but chuckle. After knowing that the Guild was also rejected, he felt delighted. They were originally here to investigate if the power of the hero had exceeded the limits. In the end, this damn guy actually brazenly tried to recruit the hero in front of the two empires. Both empires were delighted to see that the hero failed. At least the Guild didn't have a hero to hold down the fort. A Guild without a hero was a joke. They also heard that the Guild was trying their best to please Gianna and Rhode Island's Longevity, but the results were the same.
"I'll try my best."
Gotha forced a smile and said.
This was an unpleasant conversation. Hero Klaus rejected the Guild, the Luas Empire, and the Dragon Boat Empire's invitation, including the mine business. In the later part of the conversation, everyone almost forgot the purpose of this investigation. It became an auction where everyone competed to offer conditions to the hero.
In the end, the Duke exploded.
"Don't be too complacent! You're not the only hero in this world. You should know how many heroes have died for nothing! What exactly are you dissatisfied with our Luas Empire? "
He cursed loudly with the Duke's unique vulgarities. They gave up on using sugar-coated bullets and turned to threats.
"The hero relies on the people, Sir Klaus. There have been many heroes in history who acted alone and didn't care about the big picture. Without exception, all of them ended in failure. We hope that you can understand the heavy responsibility on your shoulders. This is a crucial period for mankind. Your strength is important, but it isn't indispensable."
Gotha added.
They said a lot, but they couldn't shake Klaus.
"I heard that the Guild will rank the current heroes."
At this moment, the Demon King suddenly said something that was hard to guess. They instinctively sensed danger and shut their mouths.
He smiled, but his eyes were emotionless and flickered with a dangerous glint.
"I want to know how you rank us. Is it based on our strength? Then, how do you know our strength? Don't tell me that you want us to fight like slaves in a gladiator arena? "
Hearing this, everyone present shuddered. They felt a cold breeze on their backs.
"Clang! Of course not. The heroes strictly fight among themselves. We rank them based on their performance in the war. The ranking doesn't represent their strength. "
Gotha hurriedly said.
Everyone suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere became awkward. Looking at the silent Hero with a strange smile on his face, they had a very bad premonition.
The seventh hero was very dangerous and battle-hungry. This was not good news …
