PS: Looking for votes at the end of the month! I'm not asking you to put your lives on the line. As long as you can get 1000 votes and the Emperor can draw a prize, it'll be a success! It's up to you whether you can help us or not. The Emperor is kowtowing to you!
The elves were always interested in the meeting, but Laing was already tired of it. Or rather, to the Brittany knights and dwarves, such political games and negotiations were meaningless. It had been a few months, and the army stayed in Nur without much movement. Compared to the endless wrangling, the Brittany knights and dwarves were more willing to fight the Armageddon.
But Laing also knew that it was impossible to not engage in diplomacy. Fighting the Chaos alone would never have a future. In the long wrangling, the Alliance of Order grew stronger and stronger.
In short, if you don't engage in diplomacy, you can't unite. It's that simple.
"Who is our enemy? Who is our friend? This is the most important question in the war against the Chaos. " Laing walked out of the meeting hall and looked at his son, Devenhill, who was in a bad state and had dark circles under his eyes. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to transfer the Twilight sisters away? You look like you can't do it. "
Suria's face was pale. The Knight King gently squeezed his son's shoulder and said, "Don't focus on those things all day. You need to strengthen, enrich, and improve yourself."
"Pfft, Devenhill, rest more. Don't stay up too late." Morgiana, the Goddess of Spring Water, looked at Devenhill's current state. It was as if she remembered how Laing's face turned green when he couldn't get away from her. She felt sweet and happy. Among the generations of Lake Goddess Witches, Morgiana's ending was unique. Most of the Lake Goddess Witches would hold the position for one or two hundred years. As they grew older and received oracles from the Goddess from time to time, they would gradually become unsuitable to hold the position.
At this time, the Lake Goddess Witches would imbue their power and knowledge with magic to the most suitable of the Lake Goddess Prophets. As the power dissipated, the Lake Goddess Witch would usher in the last few years of her life and begin to age rapidly. At this time, the Lake Goddess Witch would have two endings.
The first was to find a sacred place of the Lake Nymphs and live there. They would grow old in front of the Goddess' shrine until they died. The second was to enter the Great Forest of Azeroth and enter the Goddess' divine kingdom under the guidance of the Lake Nymphs. They would continue to serve the Goddess as a heroic spirit.
From this point of view, the Lake Goddess was very kind to her Chosen One. However, Morgiana was still an unexpected accident. First of all, she had received the blessing of spiritual runes from Laing and her lifespan had been extended. Also, because of Laing's existence, the Lake Goddess didn't need to use the Lake Goddess Witches to express her will. This way, even the loss of power was saved.
In the end, due to her many years of service to Leon, as well as her conscientious work as a Lake Goddess Witch, she was given the title of Goddess of Spring Water and became the luckiest existence among all the Lake Goddess Witches. Now, as long as the Goddess Temple in the lake was repaired, there would definitely be a place for her.
"Aunt Morgiana." Devenhill greeted Morgiana. The Baron could naturally tell who was sincere to him. Aunt Morgiana was the one who was sincere.
"Devenhill, your body is your own. You have to take good care of it. Nestra and Alohan are female elves who have lived for hundreds of years. They are the daughters of Queen Aleil and are now the new Elven Gods." Morgiana helped Devenhill adjust his collar. She had always treated Devenhill as her own child, even if she didn't have the right. "Don't force yourself. You won't be able to grasp the situation and win."
Laing's face turned a little green. He had a feeling that Morgiana was hinting at something. As expected, the Goddess of Spring Water glanced at him. Her eyes were full of shyness and charm, as well as deep love.
"If a friend needs help, we should do our best to help and fight alongside them. Humans are social creatures. They can't exist without social relationships. With the help of friends, many things can be done more easily. With many friends, they can form an alliance. Even if it's a group fight, the momentum will be greater. If a friend makes a mistake, we should help them realize it and improve. 'Learn from past mistakes to avoid future mistakes.' That should be the principle of how we treat our friends. If we can help them, we help them. If we can save them, we save them. This way, friends can grow. Friendship can go through trials and tribulations, and mutual trust and understanding will deepen. " Suria continued to lecture Devenhill. "Look at how your father does things. He always makes friends everywhere. He always makes more friends and fewer enemies."
"Then, what is an enemy and what is a friend?" Devenhill pondered seriously.
"There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends. Most of the time, it's not up to you or them to decide whether they are friends or not. You have to know how to judge. When they are friends, you have to know how to unite. When they become enemies, you have to attack them mercilessly." Laing continued, "Most of the time, you may be friends in certain aspects, but in other aspects, you are still enemies. However, given the current situation, we will still be friendly on the surface but secretly compete with each other. "
"Then, what should we do in this situation?" Devenhill asked.
"Turn on the left light and turn right." Laing smiled mysteriously. Outside the venue, Malecis, the Eternal King, was already standing there. Malecis was wearing the Phoenix King's robes, looking very formal. From his eyes, it was obvious that he was here to see Laing.
"I've been waiting for you." Malecis walked to Laing. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still used a little elf's etiquette to show respect. "Can I talk to you in private? Can I ask your … wife, child, and this god to leave for a while? "
"Do we have any secrets that can't be revealed?" Laing was surprised. He spread out his hands. "Your Majesty, I don't remember that we have much to do with each other. If there's anything, you can say it directly."
"What if I insist?" Malecis saw that Laing was unwilling to comply, and his expression immediately turned ugly. The Eternal King walked to Laing and got close to Laing's face. "I have some things that I want to know from you."
"If I say no, what will happen?" Laing thought to himself. Do you think you are the Witch King? Are you threatening me?
Malecis' face darkened. He thought carefully and realized that he really couldn't do anything to Laing. Seeing this, the Eternal King changed his tone. He whispered in Laing's ear, "I know what Lilith wants to do, and I know what you want to do. Listen, I don't dare to argue with you now. You just need to answer my question. I think you need support among the elves, right?"
"I need support, but I don't necessarily need your support," Laing said lazily.
Why was Malecis still so petty after becoming the Phoenix King, oh no, the Eternal King?
"… I have some things to discuss with His Majesty Laing. Can you leave us for a while? It'll be quick, just a few minutes. "Malecis saw that he couldn't persuade Laing, so he immediately turned to Suria.
"Okay, you go ahead. Laing, we'll go back to the camp first." Suria didn't care about the Knight King. The virtuous queen smiled at Malecis and left with Morgiana and Devonshire.
"You have a very beautiful wife. She's very outstanding." Malecis couldn't help but look at Suria. Even in the eyes of the Eternal King, who had lived for nearly 7,000 years, Suria was still a great beauty. However, the Eternal King soon remembered that he had relied on Goddess Olica's medicine to regain his masculinity for a few days, but soon he became unresponsive no matter how much he teased. He couldn't help but secretly hate Laing. Who knew what role Laing played in all this?
"If you called me here just to say this, then I'll invite Her Majesty Alariel to have dinner with me now." Laing thought to himself. What kind of nonsense is that? I don't know if my wife is beautiful or not.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Malecis didn't care at all. "If you like, invite her. Can I stop Alariel? The Eternal Queen is free. If she appreciates you, it's your honor to spend the night with you. But I advise you not to. Her Majesty Lilith doesn't like her things to be tainted by others. She has told us about you. If you really want to, then go ahead. "
"… Forget it. I'm not interested." Laing immediately scolded himself for thinking of the Elves as a human again. Throughout history, the Eternal Queen and the Phoenix King had their own affairs after giving birth to the little queen. Malecis obviously didn't care. "So what do you want to say to me?"
"Where did Tyrion go?" Malecis was happy to see Laing's deflated expression. He struck while the iron was hot.
"How would I know?" Laing was stunned.
"Don't lie to me. I saw it. At the wedding, you said a few words to him before he left. You don't know?" Malecis habitually used his threatening tone. "Tell me, where did Tyrion go?"
"Is that important? Tyrion promised to be there on time. "Laing was even more confused." Why don't you ask Tegris? Why are you asking me? "
"Tegris doesn't know either. I asked him to contact Tyrion. He only succeeded once. Tyrion said that he had already said goodbye to Tegris." Malecis saw that Laing's expression didn't seem to be fake. He was still angry. "Damn it, where did that guy go? Are you sure? What did he say to you? "
"What does that have to do with you?" Laing and Malecis talked as they walked. They came to a courtyard outside the wedding. Helplessly, the Sun King told Malecis part of his conversation with Tyrion. He then said, "Do you still think he's a threat to your throne?"
"Hmph, who knows?" Malecis was still paying attention. "Anything else? Think again. Did you miss anything? "
"That's all. We only said a few words." Laing shook his head. "Can I go now?"
"Is that all you have? Can you swear? To your lady? "Malecis pestered.
"What are you afraid of? My dear Eternal King? "Laing finally lost his patience. He said to Malecis," What are you afraid of? You are the Eternal King appointed by Lilith. You are Asuyan's successor. The entire race of elves, be it high elves, dark elves, or wood elves, have sworn allegiance to you. The most likely threat to you, Alariel, has also acknowledged your position. You are also a pinnacle Saint-realm warrior and a pinnacle Saint-realm sorcerer. What are you afraid of? "
"I …" Malecis was speechless for a moment.
"You are afraid of Tegris? Tegris is Lilith's first Chosen One. He has already been named the Lord of Wisdom. Will he not obey Lilith's order? Are you afraid of Tyrion himself? What is there to be afraid of? Cain has fallen, and Cain's Sword has become scrap metal. Even if Tyrion is the incarnation of the Wind of Light, he can't crush you, right? Are you afraid of Tyrion's influence? My lady, Tyrion is a dead man in the elven society. How many elves has he killed? Who is willing to accept him? Who wants him to come back? " Ryan really felt that Malekith was an Alesby, so he simply scolded him. "He's already a dead man with nothing left. Why are you still staring at him all day?"
"Tell me, great Eternal King Malecis. What are you afraid of?"
After being yelled at by Laing for a while, Malecis was stunned.
That's right, I'm the Eternal King personally conferred by the God of Gods, the chosen successor of Asu, the husband of the Eternal Queen Ariel, and the leader of the Elves. What am I afraid of when facing Tyrion, a warrior who has already died?
What am I afraid of?
Malecis was stunned. The Eternal King's mouth was open for a long time, but he could not say a word. He suddenly took a deep breath as if he was out of oxygen.
"Is there anything else? If not, I won't keep you company. I don't want any bad news to spread. For example, the two kings had a secret meeting. "Laing wanted to leave if the Eternal King continued like this.
"Sun King, do you understand the importance of the throne to me?" Malekis spoke. His eyes were no longer fierce and full of malice. Instead, they were unexpectedly melancholy. His tone also softened. "Do you understand the pain of having something that you desperately want and hope to obtain eventually being forced to give up because of the discrimination and conspiracy of others? During the King Selection Assembly, those people treated me like this. They ignored my father's achievements in saving the world, just because … "
"Just because they were afraid of Cain's curse?" Laing said casually. He had heard this story too many times.
"And it's not easy to control." Malecis put his hand on the railing, "Do you know how important the throne is to me? The Phoenix King is everything I have been holding on to for thousands of years. As an elf, my lifespan has long exceeded that by several times. I am not like Morasi and Heliben, who rely on Cain's blood to prolong my life. The secret to my life is hatred and desire. Through these emotions, I let black magic enter my life, allowing me to live forever. "
"That is actually Asuyan's favor. Otherwise, I have never heard of a creature who can continuously inject the Wind of Chaos for thousands of years. There is also an existence who wears a perverted crown and roams the realm of Chaos without anything happening." Laing complained, "Be content. You have already received enough compensation. Isn't the Eternal King of the Three Essences Not enough? No one cares that you have cooperated with Chaos many times for Ossouin. "
"So! So!! " Malekith's emotions suddenly became agitated. He punched the railing made of white granite, and the tyrannical power exploded like thunder. "So this is the throne that belongs to me! It is mine! I will not let anyone have it!!! I know, yes, I know that Tyrion and Alariel are still in love! Do you understand? Just a few days after my wedding, when I sent Alariel to the top in my arms, she was still calling Tyrion's name!!! Tyrion! Only he, only he is left! Tyrion!!!! "
Laing was speechless.
The Sun King looked at the emotional Eternal King and did not know what to say.
After a few seconds, Malecis realized that he had lost his composure. He did not know why he said this to Laing, but when he thought about it, only Laing, who had nothing to do with his interests and was the husband of his deity, Lilith, and an insider of a series of things, could say a few words without fear of being mocked or tarnished.
Sure enough, Laing did not mean to mock him, "So, we have an agreement?"
"Sort of." Malecis's breath gradually calmed down. The Eternal King reached out to the Sun King, "I understand your attitude. Very well, then, I will support your decision, but only before everything is over. I will promise with the Eternal King's throne."
"So easy? This is not like you. "Laing's tone was very playful," Tell me your conditions. "
"Of course, there are conditions." Malecis nodded. He hesitated for a few seconds, and his tone was a little embarrassed, "That … Pale Queen is your personal maid, right? Can you do me a favor? "
"What favor?"
"Ask her, that … erm … erm … erm … erm … that last time … that medicine of mine, does she still have it?"
"Let me ask for you?"
The two kings shook hands, "Deal."
