Chapter 1949 The Price of Strength, Try to Turn Around
Zhou Yi's answer made Frank feel a little dissatisfied. Because he didn't get a positive answer from Zhou Yi.
Although he did not object to his revenge in words, he also revealed that he was willing to lend his strength. But without hearing him express his attitude, without hearing his own thoughts and opinions on this aspect, Frank was still unable to completely let go of his heart.
He also knew that he was a little overwhelmed. But he had to guard against a certain possibility of it. His father's death had taught him a few things after all, and caution was probably the most important of these.
Of course, although he has one or another worry, it doesn't mean that he will say it in person and force Zhou Yi to make a statement. That was an irrational behavior. Although he did have the urge to do it, reason still restrained him and prevented him from doing it.
The reason for him to control himself is very simple, that is, this kind of face-to-face questioning may not have any other effect other than making Zhou Yi unable to step down. And for him who is currently almost relying on Zhouyi to have the possibility of revenge, embarrassing Zhouyi's face is not a profitable thing. So he wisely kept silent, and after expressing his unwillingness to ask questions, he answered Zhou Yi like this.
"I want power. If possible, I even hope to get the divine power you bestow."
There is such a record in the mage about the gods, that is, if there is a god who is willing to bestow divine power, then it is easy to pull the mage's power to a height that ordinary people cannot match. Although there are some hidden dangers in doing so, it is the best way for him to gain strength. Moreover, compared with the hidden dangers that take a long time to show their clues, it is difficult to climb to a sufficient height, which is probably more regrettable for mages. Therefore, except for a few mages who are born to stand on a higher ground, most mages will not refuse such an opportunity. However, for Frank, such a choice is only a mixed blessing.
His own aptitude determines that he will be one of the few mages who are born to stand on a higher ground. As far as the future is concerned, as long as nothing goes wrong, he will definitely go further than those mages who enjoy the blessings of the gods. If you choose the gift of the gods at this time, it will undoubtedly interrupt your future way out. Under this premise, whether his future will be smooth or not is probably something that no one can say.
Of course, this is only the downside. There are also advantages, the most important of which is that he can get a powerful force immediately.
After all, Zhou Yi is the emperor of heaven, not an existence that can be compared with other idle gods. So even if he only grants a negligible amount of power, he can easily lift Frank to an unimaginable height. Frank even guessed this way, if everything he knew about Zhou Yi is true, as long as he is willing to give himself strength,
Then in an instant, I can stand on the pinnacle of the god-given mage for thousands of years.
The biggest advantage this brings him is undoubtedly that it saves a lot of time. After all, it would take hundreds of years for him to climb to the same level by himself. And being able to save these hundreds of years is undoubtedly very important for his great cause of revenge.
In terms of future and time, he chose the latter, which is why he made this choice. But hearing his request, Zhou Yi frowned, and asked him back.
"Do you know what the result of being given power by me is? Once you accept my power, it is equivalent to being controlled by me. Whether it is life or death, you will be labeled with me. Forever and ever only Being able to exist as an envoy of the Heavenly Emperor. Can you accept such a price?"
Zhou Yi is not joking, this is something he only knew after he became the Emperor of Heaven and had contact with many secrets of the Heavenly Court. In ancient mythology, most of the angels who acted as the messengers of the emperor of heaven were colorful birds and other divine birds, and it was certainly impossible for the majestic emperor of heaven to send a message from a bird. The real reason is that most of these divine birds are incarnations of humans who were empowered by him.
The power of the Emperor of Heaven is enough to distort the essence of human existence, turning him into an existence close to his own power. The most powerful of the eight ancient masters is God, so the incarnation of a bird is a symbol of God's authority.
Zhouyi's current power has long been self-contained, and the eight masters are mixed into one. In terms of divine power alone, he is far superior to the former eight masters. At the same time, he also has his own symbol of authority, which also means that once he bestows divine power on a mortal, the form of this person will undoubtedly change in the direction of his authority. According to his estimate, it was either Guangxia or Three-legged Crow. And no matter which one it is, I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to exist as a human being.
This is the price for gaining the power of the Emperor of Heaven, which fits the old saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Judging from Zhou Yi's personal thoughts, he definitely doesn't want to see that the descendants of his old friend can't even do it alone. So he didn't give Frank any chance to speak, and directly refused him.
"No, change another condition. I can't let Tony's son become a strange thing in my hands. The Stark family can't die because of me."
"This is my business"
"No, when you put the matter before me, it's already my business. I have the right to refuse your improper request, don't I? And besides, if Tony is here, I think He certainly wouldn't want you to make such a choice."
Waving his hand, interrupting Frank's insistence, Zhou Yi expressed his attitude very strongly.
"Change it, change it to a request that I can accept."
Zhou Yi had already said so, and Frank naturally couldn't ask for anything more. After all, he still didn't have enough capital, so after taking a deep breath, he made such a request to Zhou Yi.
"Then I hope you will allow me to learn spells from God Erlang. He has a spell in his hand that I think may help me avenge me. If possible, I hope to get it."
"Yang Jian, what do you say?" Without giving Frank a direct answer, Zhou Yi first set his sights on Yang Jian. After all, Yang Jian's identity is there, even if he has such a need, he still needs to ask for his opinion first.
"If this is His Majesty's intention, the subject will naturally be willing to obey."
It's just a spell, and Yang Jian is not going to go against Zhou Yi for it. So after Zhou Yi asked the question, he immediately gave a submissive answer.
"Very good, so be it. Frank, follow Yang Jian to learn the spells you want to learn. As for whether you can take revenge, it depends on whether you have that ability."
Having said this, Zhou Yi seems to have lost the nature of having a deep talk with Frank. He winked at Yang Jian, and Yang Jian understood it, and immediately said to Avalokitesvara.
"You take him down for now, and I'll come later."
Avalokitesvara is certainly not a small envoy, but in front of these people, she really has no right to refuse. Seeing that Avalokitesvara pulled a reluctant face and Frank disappeared in front of his eyes, Zhou Shang, who had been silent before, finally couldn't help it at this time.
"I don't believe it's true, Father. How could Grandfather do such a thing?"
"It's a pity, Shane. This is true. Maybe he behaved well in front of you, to the point that he can satisfy you. But this does not change the fact that he is a bastard himself. If Lingdie and Yuriko say you You don't need to believe it, but when the sufferer has come to your door, don't you still want to believe it, is this a fact?"
The reunion with his son is certainly gratifying, but it also has various problems. First of all, the biggest problem is that his son and he have a huge disagreement about Smith Week. In his opinion, Smith Zhou was insidious and cunning, and he acted unscrupulously. Although there may indeed be a blood relationship between them, this relationship exists in name only, and there is really no need to take it seriously.
But his son didn't think so. In Zhou Shang's view, Smith Zhou was actually a good man, the grandfather of a person in charge. It may be said that there are some conflicts and conflicts between him and his family, but in Zhou Shang's mind, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved.
After all, they are still family members. Are there any unresolvable conflicts between the family members?
Zhou Yi couldn't say that there was anything wrong with this idea, but he felt that it was more applicable to those ordinary families. The contradictions between ordinary people can naturally be resolved easily. But the contradictions in their family are not within this category. Smith Chou is a madman, a complete madman. What kind of things he can do for his own purpose is something that no one can estimate.
Just imagine that even he, who is almost out of the way, can be plotted and exiled because he doesn't want to agree with him. If this is in front of him, does he still care if you are a family member?
Zhou Yi was very determined in his heart. The words of Lingdie and Yuriko are enough to prove his point in disguise. After all, being able to reach out to the women and children at home is enough to show that Smith Zhou has no bottom line in his actions. However, even though Lingdie and Baihezi had already told the truth, Zhou Shang was still reluctant to believe it. Even now, Tony's son has come to complain, but he still doesn't want to believe it's true.
Although he didn't understand what kind of soup Smith Zhou was feeding his son, but he could somewhat understand his son's thoughts. It can be seen from his maintenance of Smith Zhou that the relationship between him and Smith Zhou is already quite close. Zhou Yi was not sure whether Smith Zhou had paid his true feelings for him, but he was sure that his son definitely regarded him as his grandfather.
But now he suddenly told Zhou Shang that the grandfather he identified, the person who was related to their blood, actually did such a thing to his family. This kind of almost betrayal behavior is of course unacceptable to Zhou Shang.
He wanted to argue for something, but the cruel facts did not allow him to make any sophistry. Seeing that the situation has turned to such a point, Zhou Shang is probably the only one who knows how frustrated he is.
He is not only worried about the safety of his mother and the others, but also worried about the conflict between his father and grandfather. After all, he has experienced some things, and Zhou Shang's vision is enough for him to see the subsequent development of things clearly. There is no doubt that his father and grandfather will stand on the opposite side completely, and once the two parties conflict, no matter who wins and who loses in the end, it will be an unacceptable result for him.
He really wanted to prevent such a thing from happening, but the kidnapping of his family made him unable to say such things at all. Facing his father with a gloomy face, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zhou Yi.
"Father, I want to know how to deal with him when you interrupt!"
"Him?" Looking down at his son, Zhou Yi's answer was unusually decisive. "If the person you are talking about is Smith Zhou, then I can only tell me that I am afraid I will resort to force against him. What he has done is no longer worthy of forgiveness, so violence is the best solution."
"But, but" Zhou Shang remembered panicking, this was not the answer he wanted to hear. He didn't want to change Zhou Yi's mind, after all, he also knew that Smith Zhou had gone too far. However, even if it is just a little more room for turning around, it is much better than this kind of answer that completely tears the face. For this reason, he racked his brains, but he could only think of few reasons. "What about mother and the others? They are still in the hands of that person. If you deal with him directly like this, won't it endanger mother and the others?"
"He won't have this chance. Because this time I will do my best. No matter what tricks he plays, no matter what calculations he has in his heart, this time I will use the fastest speed to wipe him out. Uproot him and his ambitions!"
With the power of his father and the power of the gods he brought back. Zhou Shang really didn't doubt the possibility of him saying this at all. And it was precisely because he knew this possibility so well that he became more worried.
"But what about that guy named Frank? Didn't you acquiesce in his revenge? If you did, how could he take revenge? Shouldn't you give him a chance first?"
"Why, do you really think he has the ability to take revenge?" Asked this, Zhou Yi didn't realize that this was Zhou Shang's plan to delay the attack. He didn't want Zhou Shang to have unrealistic hopes, after all, such hopes would only bring more pain. So he quickly cut through the mess and told him directly.
"Don't waste your time, son. These things are not something you can get involved in. During the recent period, you just stay here honestly. I will tell Yang Jian to take care of you. After a long time, you will naturally forget .”
"No, father, you can't do that".
