A ripple appeared on the calm lake, and a red dragonfly landed on the tip of a budding lotus. Suddenly, the lotus bloomed, and the green turned into a gorgeous red. Strands of light red silk floated out of the flower core and hung on the dragonfly's body like a piece of clothing.
The white-haired king sat on the lotus leaf boat and watched all of this in silence. Fish of various colors circled around him. At this moment, the fish was suddenly frightened and fled into the darkness.
A young man in a red robe walked in. His clothes were still stained with white snow.
"Father!"
"Elijah, you're back so soon."
The king said calmly.
The one who came back was Elijah, who had escaped death. He had returned to the palace.
"Father, I found the seventh hero's weakness."
"Hmm, isn't this good news? Why do you have such an expression? "
Eliard lowered his head and closed his eyes heavily. Then he exhaled softly and said, "I don't know if this is good news for us. The seventh hero is involved with the magic seed. I already have evidence in this regard. Moreover, he's the main culprit behind the chaos in Stone. Count Arcas is just a scapegoat. He's the one who controls the borders of Stone. "
Hearing this, the king's expression changed slightly. He reached out and the lotuses around him suddenly closed. The lake suddenly retreated to two sides and the place he was sitting on suddenly turned into a bridge.
"Show me the evidence in your hands."
Elijah nodded. He looked at the reflection in the lake, his eyes dark. He knew that for the Luas Empire, roping in the seventh hero was far more beneficial than killing him. As long as there was hope, his father would do anything to get him to join their side. They were even willing to use marriage as a means. His younger sister or White's older sister could become a prop for the marriage.
However, he didn't want things to develop like this. He had seen Klaus before. The feeling he gave was like the night before dawn, cold and unfathomable. This person was very dangerous. He was definitely not someone the Luas Empire could control. Therefore, he had to convince his father.
He raised his head and looked at his father.
… …
During this period of time, the Union had not been peaceful. There were constant high-level meetings and frequent personnel transfers. This was all because of a small country, or rather, because of the Seventh Hero.
His appearance was the same as the death of the War God Anmihu, which caused a change in the world. No one would have thought that such an insignificant empire could cause two great empires and the adventurer's guild to fall into chaos. The Mana veins had broken the Luyas Empire's monopoly, and he refused to cooperate with the Dragon Boat Empire. At the same time, the birth of the Bravehearts changed the balance of the human side. No matter which side he sided with, the sky would fall. Not only the Dragon Boat Empire and the Luas Empire, but also She Wanfu and Rhode Island.
Amihu alone was enough to support the entire Adventurer's Guild, which was enough to rival the two major countries. This showed just how terrifying the Adventurers' influence was. Before the appearance of the seventh Adventurer, the human side was still able to maintain a balance. The Adventurer's Guild relied on its scale to barely match the two major countries. She Wanfu had become the third largest country. Although they were not as strong as the two major countries, their future was promising. Rhode Island was isolated from the rest of the world. They were an important line of defense against the invasion of the Demon Race from the sea. Everyone was happy to see them grow stronger.
But Karis could not. He was between the two major countries, and the Adventurer's choice would determine the fate of many empires.
"What! King Karis issued a new border decree? "
Gotha, who was at the Union headquarters, was shocked. He quickly took the envelope from his subordinate and tore it open impatiently to look at the contents.
The Karis Empire's border control regulations. The thick envelope was filled with papers. Before he finished reading, he suddenly ran to the Guild President's office.
"President!! Something bad has happened! "
"Come in, what's the matter? Don't tell me it's about the Karis Empire again."
President Marlon looked at Gotha with a straight face. The latter shrunk his neck and showed an awkward expression.
"This … is indeed news about Karis."
"Sigh, I guessed as much. Just say it."
Marlon said tiredly.
"Rather than me, you should take a look. This is the new law issued by the king. Our investigation team has all been chased out."
Gotha carefully put the papers on the table. Marlon frowned. He couldn't believe that the king dared to do such a thing. He picked up the letter and read it while asking:
"Only our investigation team?"
"There are also investigators from other empires, including the Luas Empire and the Dragon Boat Empire."
Marlon wasn't surprised at all. If it was only the Guild, then it meant that the Adventurer was unhappy with the Guild. But if the target was everyone, then it meant that someone had investigated something.
"Immediately call back the army from the frontlines. Keep an eye on Karis's movements."
"Yes, sir!"
Gotha quickly left the room. Marlon sighed and threw the letter in his hand to the side.
He felt tired, mentally tired. The Adventurer was too bold. He had done too many troublesome things. So troublesome that even if the Guild could get him to join them, they would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with him.
In the worst case scenario, the Guild would break off relations with the two empires. This was the last thing Marlon wanted to happen. He began to reconsider the pros and cons of getting the Adventurer to join them. Was he really worth it for the Guild to do that?
…
On the fourth day after King Karis issued the border management law, the Luas Empire and the Dragon Boat Empire sent messengers to negotiate with the king and the Adventurer. They hoped that the Adventurer would cooperate with the investigation, but the result was not good.
Soon, the Luas Empire held a world conference and invited most of the empires, including the Karis Empire, to participate. No one knew what they wanted to do, but they could guess that it had something to do with Karis.
The location of the world conference was the headquarters of the Union. This place was known as the safest place in the world. It was not a palace, but a fortress. However, everyone knew that this was something that happened when Anyhu was still around. No one would think so now.
The empires sent representatives to represent their countries. Many kings of smaller countries even participated in the conference. Most of them wanted to get rid of the Union's control. Some wanted to join the Luas Empire, some wanted to join the Luas Empire, some wanted to join the Luas Empire, some wanted to join the Luas Empire, and some wanted to join the Snake Wanfu Empire.
Surprisingly, Gianna of the Snake Wanfu Empire participated in the conference. She wore a blue dress and a pair of mysterious black gloves. She attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Behind her was the Adventurer of the Dragon Boat Empire, the second prince Xiang Long. Everyone heard that he was injured, but it seemed that he was recovering well. He still had a bright smile on his face. Perhaps the Dragon Boat Empire wanted to use this opportunity to tell the world that their Adventurer was healthy.
The person who called this conference, the king of the Luas Empire, did not participate in the conference. The representatives were his fourth son and the Luas Chief Justice, Mandaro. Unfortunately, the appearance of the two Adventurers made them less eye-catching. Of course, the president of the Union and the highest decision-makers were all present. Even the vice president, Nell Phoenix, was sitting next to the president.
However, the Karis Empire that everyone was looking forward to did not show up. As the conference was about to start, everyone began to talk. If they did not show up, then there would be a good show to watch.
Just before the conference began, a team holding the flag of the Liska Empire appeared.
"The representative of the Liska Empire has arrived. The representative is the Adventurer, Klaus!"
The person in charge of the conference read out the name of the man. Everyone gasped when they saw the man in black. He looked like he was not afraid of anything.
