Chapter 622: 622
Chapter 623-The Meat-Eating Man
“The Empire and the Council…”
Darila hesitated.
Kant’s pupils constricted.
He instantly understood what the other party meant.
After hearing Kant’s warning and report, every country knew about the shocking event that had happened in the Broken Islands. They knew that ferocious deep-sea monsters had surfaced and that they were a destructive threat to ships at sea. They even knew that a terrifying deep-sea monster was about to awaken.
He knew that the other party had the ability to threaten or even block all sea trade routes.
As for the Silver Moon Council, the elves used it to restrict the interests of the royal family. When they learned of the matter, their first reaction was to gather a fleet and send a vanguard army to bypass Kant and carry out their mission.
Other than arrogance, there was also doubt and greed in this decision. They did not believe Kant’s words and information, at least not completely. They were also interested in the so-called deep-sea monster.
If it can block global maritime trade, then if it can be used by us, doesn’t that mean that the elves can firmly control global maritime trade?
At the very least, they had to ensure that Kant or other countries and organizations would not be able to control it.
Therefore, acting alone became an inevitable choice.
Then, the problem came.
If that was what the elves thought, what about the Council and the Empire?
Kant took a deep breath and took out his phone. Get me Neola and Henry Becker!”
The two commanders of the Azure Fleet and the Empire’s Fourth Fleet became the communication link between Kant and the two countries. The communication bracelet that he carried with him was quickly connected.
Kant did not wait for the two of them to speak.” Send my warning to your boss, the Emperor, and the Chairman immediately,” he said sternly. Before all the refugees and soldiers of the Broken Islands have evacuated, do not play any tricks! Tell their fleet to stay further away from the Broken Islands! Now, the monster needed flesh and blood… Forget it!
Where are you now? I’ll go find you!”
Hearing his furious roar, Darila sighed silently.
The Phoenix King watched Kant open the Realm Gate and disappear without a trace. He stood there in a daze for a moment before shaking his head.
About fifteen minutes later, the Omniscient Tower and the Court of Kings both received a furious but patient warning from the Skyquaking Dragon. He warned the two rulers that the sleeping behemoth on the Broken Islands was very dangerous and that they could not let it get more flesh and blood. Therefore, they must not send any teams to act privately.
At the very least, he had to wait until everyone had successfully retreated.
In the court of the Omniscient Tower, this warning letter was publicized.
In return, he was met with a wave of ridicule and ridicule.
“Who does he think he is? The gods chose? The Son of Descent?”
” What?” Councilman Oxington slapped the table and laughed.” You’re actually teaching the Arcane Magic Council?” We have maintained the peace of this world. Countless years have passed since then, and we have experienced and fought countless disasters, invasions, and crises. Is it his turn to teach us what danger is?”
“He must be trying to hide or delay something.”
Another representative said in a deep voice,” Since he’s so afraid of us participating, he must have some unspeakable secret. This Aurora citizen must have discovered something in the Broken Islands…” Or worse.”
“He wants to control the deep-sea monster?”he asked in unison.
“That’s right.”
Another councilman agreed.” According to our intelligence, he has captured the ruler of the Broken Islands, Island Master Pating. The timing of the appearance of those sea monsters was too coincidental. Most likely, Island Master Pating had no choice but to release them in response to Kant’s attacks and threats. Now that he has been captured by Kant, with his merchant nature and temperament, he will definitely choose to use this secret to seek a way out.”
” If that’s the case, I can’t fall for Kant’s trick.”
” No wonder the people of Aurora made such a huge commotion,” said Councilman Oakington.” They even took out a giant flying device that could cause fear in other countries. All of this was just to divert our attention. He used this evacuation as a cover to hide his true purpose. He just wanted to buy time and distract us. He wanted to move the survivors of the Broken Islands away so that he could carry out his real plan.”
“Control the power under the deep sea.”
He looked at his colleagues.” We can’t let the people of Aurora get what they want. As you all know, the prosperity and development of the civilized world today are based on maritime trade. If the lifeline of the economy is controlled by the people of Aurora, do I have to remind and predict what will happen in the future?”
Then, he looked at the Chairman.
At this moment, a silent objection slowly sounded, What if this is true? Let’s assume that Kant harbors ill intentions and even acts in a hostile manner. If everything is as Kant says, then the deep-sea monster will be out of our control. Not only will we not obtain anything, but our relationship with Kant will also be greatly damaged…”
” What?” Councilman Oxington glanced at the person who spoke and sneered.” Sir Fermat, do you really want Kant’s candy business that badly?” Are you that afraid of offending him?”
” What?” The man raised an eyebrow and retorted sarcastically.” Councilman Oxington, you’re in such a hurry to make an enemy out of Kant. You’re afraid that Kant will sell his alchemical weapons to the council and ruin your family’s livelihood, aren’t you?”
Oakington was furious and stood up.
The other party also stood up and stretched his neck.
The first rule of the Omniscient Tower forbade the use of offensive spells and weapons, especially during meetings. This ensured that differences in opinions would not turn into bloody duels. However, the original rule makers were more honest, or rather, they overestimated the lower limits and integrity of the successors.
Although offensive spells and weapons were prohibited, fists and kicks were not prohibited.
Therefore, in order to convince the opposition in the fierce dispute, the councilmen mostly used a good martial arts. For the mages who had many interests, this was considered a fitness regime.
Councilman Oxington was famous for the Imperial Army’s Catching and Wrestling Technique. It was a wrestling technique that originated from the elves ‘battlefield martial arts. This was because the elven sword saints had discovered that in a small-scale melee against an enemy who was also heavily armored, the most efficient way to kill the enemy was to knock the enemy to the ground and then use a big axe and hammer to attack the enemy. This was much more efficient than directly slashing.
On the other hand, Councilman Ferma took a different approach and hired a wandering warrior from Aurora who learned the dashing punch and cannon hammer. With this, he ran amok in the parliament and killed countless pandas.
Battles between representatives had become a traditional art of the Arcane Magic Council, and it was enjoyed by the masses. In fact, the representatives even enjoyed it, so much so that several generations of speakers felt that it was not very honorable. They wanted to change the rules and add a rule that no fighting was allowed. In the end, the opinions of the representatives were surprisingly unanimous, and they even set a record for the highest number of votes in favor of it. They rejected it with the excuse that ” the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed.”
Seeing that another arena match was about to begin, the Great Chairman’s thunderous voice came. The supreme ruler of the council expressed his views and suggestions.
” Councilman Oxington’s point of view is very valuable, but Councilman Fermat’s worries are not without reason. We are not making an enemy of anyone, but for the benefit of the council and the entire world. Investigate the truth, eliminate the threat, and ensure that powerful forces will not fall into the hands of evil. This is the guide for our actions.”
” That’s why we have to investigate the Broken Isles incident independently. We can’t believe Kant’s words completely. Of course, this isn’t out of hostility or distrust towards Kant. This is our responsibility to the Council and the world. Now, clerk, draft a reply to Kant.”
” Just say that we thank His Highness Kant for his reminder, and that we will seriously consider his warning. The powerful fleet and brave investigators of the Arcane Council will use their prudent and wise attitude to identify the threat, and their excellent combat ability and professional skills will not only protect the interests of the council, but also protect themselves.”
” The Arcane Magic Council is grateful for everything he has done for world peace, and sincerely hopes to continue working with the great Forbidden Mage to ensure the stability of the mortal world and the safety of the living.”
“Let’s put it this way…It doesn’t hurt to be a little humble.”
The Speaker gave the clerk an order. He thought for a moment and said,” Send another order. Order the fleet and the vanguard to explore and advance in a more cautious manner. We must keep in touch at all times. We must be vigilant. We must be on guard against sudden danger and the enemy from underwater.”
In the imperial palace of the imperial capital, low laughter came from the magnificent palace.
“He’s anxious.”
The common lord of the human world was like a god on the top of the clouds, looking at the people in the room playfully.
His sons and daughters, his ministers, surrounded him respectfully and with smiles on their faces. Everyone tried to hide their flattery to avoid making him look too explicit and lowly. They all tried their best to show off and rack their brains to please him. This was the beauty of power. Sometimes, he indulged himself in it. Occasionally, he would throw out a little bread crumb, and the hungry dogs would fight over it endlessly and make a scene.
The person who spoke was his eldest son, Alex. His right hand looked a little stronger.
He had already finished half of his homework.
At that moment, the First Prince looked at his competitors, his younger brothers and sisters, and a sneer appeared on his face.” No one would think that Kant has made such a huge commotion, spent so much money, worked so hard, and even saved the lowly peasants and beggars just to satisfy his suddenly noble moral sentiments. He has no other intentions, right? It can’t be, right?”
“What if that’s really the case?” The Emperor suddenly asked.
” Father?” Alex was shocked, and his face turned pale.” Father?”
The ruler of the empire treated his eldest son like air. He looked past him and looked at his children.” Do you know why Kant even saved the commoners and beggars of the Broken Islands?”
He pointed at his second son to answer, and then one by one, the children’s voices, either confident, timid, trembling, or uncertain, sounded one by one, but no one answered the point.
Kant wanted to use this opportunity to hide something.
The people of Aurora were trying to buy people’s hearts.
He wanted to accept all the wealth and value of the Broken Islands.
All kinds of guesses were filled with contempt, arrogance, and stupidity.
The Emperor of the Empire sighed silently.
None of the answers were what he wanted, and none of them spoke of the possibility that he was really worried about.
Kant really wanted to save those commoners.
Although this answer was inexplicable and absurd, it was indeed the most terrifying and worrying thing.
It was also what made him…His killing intent was boiling.
“Write back.”
The Emperor pinched the space between his eyebrows and sighed tiredly.
He was the true ruler of the human world. How could he allow Kant to order him around? It would be a huge joke if he withdrew his army and obeyed Kant’s orders just because of a letter from Kant.
The Emperor was suspicious, but the King would never trust him easily. The Empire and Kant had been at odds for a long time. He did not believe that Kant would tell him everything. He also wanted to know the secrets of the Broken Islands.
The two replies ended up in Kant’s hands.
One of them was full of content, while the other was extremely simple.
However, the arrogance, contempt, and stupidity in his words were all reflected on Kant’s face.
The Fire Stealer’s face was ashen.
He finally realized a huge problem.
He realized that he had overlooked something.
He did the right thing and acted according to good intentions. He launched the largest air evacuation operation in the history of the other world. He saved the innocent and mobilized the masses. He gained recognition and support and also demonstrated his strength.
After clearing the fog of the truth of the world and peeking at the true body of the enemy from beyond the heavens who looked down on the mortal world, although the enemy was powerful, it was not invincible. The young Fire Stealer was full of ambition, planning, advancing, designing, and fighting. He not only wanted to destroy the body and soul of this vicious so-called ” god “, but he also wanted to fight against the enemy that was about to come in the apocalypse prophecy. He had already made plans and assumptions and put them into practice.
They would use this opportunity to reveal the cruel intentions and despicable acts of the Star Palace to the kings and leaders of the various countries and organizations. They would gather the power of the entire world to fight against the enemies of the entire world.
Such a plan incorporated the unique temperament of the Fire Stealer. It was not to gather the heroes of the various countries to fight against the Demon King, but to call on all the people to fight together.
His temperament, thoughts, and ideas were not formed out of thin air. It was the result of the education he had received since he was young. Kant’s generation had been taught to ” work for the liberation of all mankind.” The voice they heard was ” build a human community.” The slogan they were most familiar with was ” Long live the great unity of the people of the world.”
He was naturally familiar with such ideals and plans and took them for granted. He believed that in the face of crisis and difficulties, all living beings in the world would abandon their racial, language, and national prejudices and fight together for a common goal. He had always believed so.
This was because his country, despite decades of harsh international conditions, still educated its citizens to believe in a certain great cause and belief. It was not the prosperity of a nation, but the prosperity of the entire human civilization. Such influence and infiltration were the power of civilization, and it would make every individual of this civilization unconsciously act according to the same creed…He had always subconsciously believed in this ideal.
Until today.
He had issued a warning to the kings of the various countries and made invitations. He was full of hope to defeat the powerful enemies from beyond the heavens with these powerful countries. The other party had also agreed readily. The situation was so good.
But under the table, undercurrents were surging, and every leader had their own plans.
He suddenly realized something that he had subconsciously overlooked.
Reality was never as beautiful as one imagined. The selfishness, stupidity, greed, and arrogance of intelligent creatures were endless. They did not care about logic, or rather, they had their own set of logic.
Those who eat meat are despicable and cannot plan far away.
Well said.
In fact, they were not despicable. They just had their own interests.
They were too smart.
Kant took a few deep breaths when he heard the reply.” Thank you for your hard work,” he said calmly.” Go back to your work.”
Master Niola and Colonel Henry, who did not even dare to breathe loudly, ran away in fear.
Kant’s expression changed several times after he closed the door. It went from anger to rage, then from rage to fury. He suppressed his anger, and the flames in his eyes raged as he pressed a hand on his shoulder.
“If you’re angry, shout it out or chop something to vent your anger.”
” When I’m angry with those shameless and greedy elven elders, I’ll use this method to vent my anger,” said Derila. Do you want me to lend you my sword?”
“.. No need.”
Kant suppressed his anger and regained his composure.” There’s no point in being useless and furious. It’ll only make me feel worse.” Delia, we have to stop these idiots from prying on us. Can you please warn those two bastards in the name of the Phoenix King?”
” Kant, it’s useless.” Delila smiled bitterly.” I believe you because…” In short, don’t expect the ruler to trust you. Just like how they will never believe that you have no selfish motives, they will never believe that you will tell them all the truth and information. They will never do this themselves.”
Kant sneered.
“Even if I warn them, do you think they will believe me? No, they wouldn’t believe me. They would only suspect that I had come to some sort of agreement with you and colluded with you. They would think that you wanted to join forces with the elves to swallow the big secret of the Broken Islands…They will really think so.”
At this point, she stole a glance at Kant.
Unfortunately, Kant kept his head down and his expression was grave.
“F * ck, so f * cking stupid!”
Kant cursed. He realized that the situation was in an unsolvable predicament.
Even if he could monitor the fleets of the two countries, he had plenty of ways to sneak in. He did not know where the other party came from, nor did he know if they would be intercepted by the God of Star Palace. He did not know anything. Even if he discovered the other party, there was nothing he could do.
Kill him first?
If the news were to leak out, a war would break out.
That was simply putting the cart before the horse. The enemy from beyond the heavens would laugh to death in the sea.
“.. I have no choice but to do my own thing first!”
” Hurry up and evacuate the civilians,” Kant said coldly.” Get ready for battle.” He had learned a good lesson today. The Empire, the Council…Just wait! There will be a time for you to cry!”
