Chapter 723 Secret Talk
In the end, several people came to a deadlock over how to deal with the matter.
Duke Carrot and a ninth-level extreme guardian believe that with the strength of the [Circle of Truth], they already have the qualifications to negotiate with the Olivendi family on an equal footing and can negotiate with them.
[Zero Ice Crystal] Pomona and another ninth-level guardian believed that there was no need to let the Circle of Truth come into contact with the silver key in the family's hands just for the sake of the location of the door.
After being suspected of taking control of a new floating city, in the private evaluation of many forces, the Circle of Truth has vaguely reached a level comparable to that of the Mainland Magic Council.
In this case, the other party has the coordinates of the door, and the key is in our own hands. If we continue to maintain a hostile stance, it will not do us any good.
After all, there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, and it is impossible for the Olivendi family to rely on force to obtain information from the Circle of Truth. Similarly, it is basically impossible for people from the Circle of Truth to snatch the key from the Duke.
Then, the best way is naturally for both parties to sit down together and discuss cooperation.
However, some people are not satisfied with this result.
"This is too risky! So what if the [Circle of Truth] masters that door?! We don't need to find that door at all. The power contained in this key is enough to be used as a ritual medium to open the road to the legend. ”
After the projection meeting, [Zero Ice Crystal] Pomona, whose consciousness returned to his laboratory, was so angry that he waved his hand and froze all the instruments and experimental materials in the room into ice sculptures.
"And that idiot Carlot, who won the title of the youngest ninth-level in the empire, is so arrogant that he can't recognize his own position, and he really thinks that the experimental subject is his daughter, which is simply ridiculous!
Did he think the family's plan was child's play? Young people are indeed unreliable! "
After cursing for a while, Pomona became more and more angry as he thought about it. After casually absorbing the ice that covered the entire laboratory, he was ready to go back to Carlot to talk about 'reason'.
However, before he actually took action, a strange black crystal talisman in his arms suddenly trembled, sending out a special kind of fluctuation.
Seeing the changes in the amulet, Pomona was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hold it.
Following his movement, a small green fire suddenly lit up from the center of the transparent amulet, like an open black eye.
"...How about it, Your Majesty [Zero Degree Ice Crystal], have you made a decision on our previous proposal?"
A cold mental message with no identifying characteristics suddenly came from the 'pupil'.
"Although I don't know what exactly you have in mind when you approach me, there is no way I will agree to it, so there is no need to mention it again."
With a cold snort, Pomona rejected the talisman's proposal without even thinking about it.
"Your Majesty's mood doesn't seem to be calm. It seems that your ideas have just differed from those of other ninth-level beings, right?"
The talisman trembled slightly, sending out a message.
"Hmph...so what? This is an internal matter within my Olivendi family after all, and I won't betray the family for such a thing!"
Pomona let out a cold sneer, and then prepared to end the connection directly.
"You misunderstood, we don't need you to betray the Olivendi family, there is no conflict between your position and goals and ours!
Because the person you want to call through that key is also one of the greatest beings among the alien gods we serve! "
As if aware of Pomona's impatience, Talisman's tone became urgent.
"……What did you say?"
Hearing these words, Pomona finally paused.
"Yes, we know the key very well. As one of the sacred objects, we naturally have our own detection methods."
Realizing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, the information in the amulet became calm again.
"You want to call 'Him' through that key and use its power to break through the legend. This has no conflict with us. All we need is for Him to look at the world.
But as the price of the secret ritual, the only person who is qualified as a sacrifice is the girl of the ancestral legendary bloodline [Fiona] who is guarded by your family.
And this also corresponds to the prophecy: the shining star rises from the crown of the crystal bird.
Using Fiona as a sacrifice and the 'Silver Key' as a medium to communicate with 'He' who is far away in countless worlds but is everywhere, he finally succeeded in breaking through the legend and became the eternal one hanging on the dome. star! "
"What...what do you want to do?"
After a moment of silence, Pomona finally spoke again, but there was a trace of undetectable struggle in his voice.
Breaking through the legend is the deepest and biggest obsession in the hearts of all ninth-order people.
"It's nothing...it's just that now that His Majesty Duke Carlot is the head of the family, it should be difficult to realize the plan with your strength alone, right?
Of course, we don’t think that you are not strong enough, but because you are a member of the Olivendi family, it is not convenient for you to do many things after all. "
The spiritual message in the amulet came faintly.
"Gloria III is missing, the princes and princesses in the House of Lords are only focused on fighting among themselves, and the royal family's restraint on the four major families has been reduced to a minimum. This is the best opportunity that has never happened in a thousand years.
As far as I know, the other three major families have each launched secret plans. Your cooperation with us is not a betrayal to the Olivendi family, but the greatest loyalty.
Your strength is enhanced, and so is the strength of the Olivendi family. If you can find a way to break through the legend, then all different voices will disappear. Because you have proved with facts that your choice is correct! "
After listening to the other side's words, Pomona was silent for a long time.
He wanted to crush the amulet directly, but after the disagreement with Carlot and others at the previous meeting, a different voice emerged in his mind.
Why not give it a try?
As the other party said, this would not cause any loss to him. After all, this was originally the backup plan prepared by the family, and now he is just starting it in advance.
Especially at this time when the royal family's energy has been completely involved in the disappearance of Gloria III and has no time to take care of the small actions of the four major families, it is even more necessary to make a decisive decision!
Otherwise, according to Card Lot's slow plan, when Fiona's blood power is increased to enough to break through the legend, there may not be many unexpected situations in the middle.
It is more likely that Fiona will disappear again because of some shitty fate, and her whereabouts will be unknown, resulting in the family's efforts being in vain!
Trying to find reasons to convince himself, Pomona calmed down and made a decision in his heart.
Since Carlot is ready to cooperate with the Ring of Truth, what does it matter if he cooperates with the [Songxing Esoteric Cult]?
"Tell me about your plan..."
