MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 263 trap
Chapter 263 Trap
Sacred Tree City, Imperial Embassy.
In a secret room that was shielded by the triple barrier and could not be found by any ordinary detection method. The three people who had returned from the Bone White House were sitting in front of a simple stone table. All three of them said nothing, as if they were waiting for something.
Silence filled the air, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
After a long time, the previous envoy gently tapped the table and said:
"What do you think about the Duke of the Holy Tree?"
His demeanor and tone of speech were no longer as decent as they were before. Rather, he looked more like a superior than the other two.
"Powerful..."
After a long while, the senator of the Star Council replied in a low voice.
Then he continued:
"It's terrifyingly powerful... Let's say it first, if our final mission is to fight her in that palace, I won't accompany you to go crazy."
In response to this answer, the envoy frowned and said:
"I don't know much about magic...but is that exaggerated?"
The senator sighed after hearing this:
"Bone White House is not so much a palace as a temple. It is hard to imagine that without the help of the Star Council, someone could actually create a magical position of that level... Relying on the World Tree as the source of magic, she can at least play With his combat power three times his own strength, plus the flexible tactical options brought by various spells engraved in advance, if you want to defeat her in that palace, you need at least four combat powers of the same level."
"In other words, if she can lead Remedios to that palace, then she has a good chance of winning?"
The envoy tapped the tabletop as he spoke, and his gaze swept across the two of them. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he continued to ask:
"This is what we came here for this time, is there any problem?"
The archbishop on the side cleared his throat and said:
"Let's not talk about the order of the Senate for the time being, Remedios is a person who has lived since the days of the Tribunal. Even if she really steps into the trap according to the ideal situation, I think the final chance of winning is probably the same. Only about 30%."
You can't be too cautious if you want to besiege a member of the Tribunal.
"In other words, if there is no reinforcement of additional combat power, the possibility that the two of them will be defeated if they don't want to end... is extremely low. And to be honest, based on my understanding of the Duke of Sacred Tree, that woman is definitely not a similar person. As she has shown before, she is extremely loyal to the empire. If you count on her, I am afraid that she will be sold by her if she doesn't change hands."
The Archbishop said with a look of disgust.
The hypocritical appearance of the woman who said that she was absolutely loyal to her contract with the Eighth Holy Spirit was really disgusting to him - it was obviously because of the lack of support in the Jade Province that she was forced to hug the thigh of the empire. Now he shamelessly pulls up the contract between the forest elves and the eighth holy spirit more than 800 years ago, and swears his loyalty... It's disgusting.
"The worst case may be that the two of them join forces to silence us. Believe me, Flaro is definitely the type who will win and help who. If we can't put the absolute overwhelming power on the In front of her, let her understand that we are the dominant party, then..."
"There is no extra combat power to support."
The envoy interrupted, and then he continued:
"The three of us are the only people appointed by the Senate to complete this task."
"Just the three of us? Need to complete the task of killing Remedios and Flaro at the same time?"
Senator asked with wide eyes.
In other words, if they can’t ensure that the Duke of Sacred Tree and Remedios can fight to the death, the only thing they can do is to protect themselves as much as possible.
"After the Seventh Legion has withdrawn to the Dragon's Back Mountains, the military operation against the Blackwater Province will begin. The Platinum Circle and other experts from the Star Council will be transferred to take the City of Thorns and resolve the abnormality of the Mourning Mountains... nothing more. The fighting power can be placed here."
The envoy shrugged and continued:
"We can optimistically assume that they will attack each other... Of course, in the end, it is self-defeating for them to join forces against us, which must be the worst case. But if that happens, I need the two of you to do your best to delay. Five minutes in Flaro."
The two nodded subconsciously, and then they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
If you don’t aim to defeat the opponent, it’s easy to delay for five minutes, but what can you do in five minutes?
The "envoy" in front of him has no extraordinary power in his body - he is neither a magic singer, nor a goddess, nor a person of authority... But he was still appointed by the Senate as the commander of this special operation.
"Five minutes, after I kill Remedios, I'll free up my hands to help you guys get Flaro on the road together."
said the man.
…
Camilla originated from another time line, and if the ceremony of his birth, as Neh had investigated in the past, was the massacre of the primitive humans of Ravenwood by the ancestors of the forest elves, then his life gate should be there. On a treeless human who didn't die.
The power of the rotten lady is the "entropy" that symbolizes the inevitable depletion, and the premise of depletion is that something can be depleted.
There is no loss of complete silence.
Therefore, as long as the treed human beings are found, the fulcrum that maintains each other will be destroyed. Then at least in theory, it can cause a huge blow to the existence of the opponent itself.
It’s like in the past, when conquering the realm of various nihilistic kings in the game, you needed to complete pre-tasks such as “turn off a few lights”, “fuck a few shows”, and “win a few gladiators” to destroy the symbolic things that weaken the power of the king of nothingness.
But the difference with this time is that before William was a symbol of destruction in the moon realm, and the moon realm is a place where reality will change according to will. And the life of the rotten lady is in this world, a place where anything that happens will be fixed as a certain reality.
The "symbol" of the moon realm is destroyed and can be reshaped, but the carrier of the "symbol" in the present world is destroyed if it is destroyed.
So, the first question now is, how should he go to another timeline?
For this, after learning some secrets about the starving lady from the "secret-keeper", William has some eyebrows.
"Lord Judge, can I ask you why you did this?"
Flaro asked after a long silence.
Although there was a veil, William could still see the surprise in the other's eyes.
"Simply put, the reason that drives those undead to have cognition like living people has been found, and their state is probably the same as you. Of course, like Neh, they are all lich whose soul and body are separated."
And the soul box that stores their souls is the forest elves that were treed on this side. They communicated two timelines through the illusory channel of dreams.
Dreamland…
Is the Nightmare Lord also involved in this matter?
If the Nightmare Lord is also involved, what about the Whispering Queen?
How likely is it that the whole thing is actually a trap?
Speaking of this, William stopped. On the one hand, he thought about the conjecture carefully, and on the other hand, he also gave the other party time to digest his previous words, and then he asked:
"From what I know about Neh, if there were no reasons why he had to do it, he would never pass on the method of converting to a lich. So, tell me how you got Neh's inheritance. And, how did Neh go in the past to find out what the Rotten Lady planned?"
…
at the same time…
"...The current situation is like this. Although I am very embarrassed, but based on the current situation, you may need to bring Judgment Seven to Sacred Tree City in advance."
The Broken Sea, an ancient elf ship, William with the holy emblem of the Holy Spirit on his neck, said this to the fair-haired elf standing on the bow.
"Rivenwood Forest?"
Probably remembered something, and seemed to let out a long sigh. Remedios, the Lord of Ava Continent, turned her head.
"I need to discuss this matter with the staff first. After all, my early departure will have a great impact on morale... Please act on the premise that I will be there within three days."
William nodded, then turned to look at Liz, who was nibbling on the special elf fruit.
"Understood, now, you're going to let me do the coolie again, right?"
With a face full of juice, she muttered very unhappily.
Remedios turned her head towards the cabin, but stopped halfway there, she turned her head to look at William and said:
"I take the liberty to ask, Your Excellency William. How likely do you think the whole thing is to be a trap?"
