Chapter 2982 The Turmoil in Udinos (Thanks to Dameng S Equals kBlnW for the Reward)

"After that, what happened?" Joan asked her adopted daughter.

"Unfortunately, this 'will' that Lady Saoirse read out in public was immediately strongly opposed by most of the warlords and nobles, and the venue exploded."

"The beholders not only refused to accept the entrustment of the Supreme, but even questioned Sir Saoirse's suspicion of assassinating His Majesty in person, forged a will with ambition, and tried to support an Inanna who came out of nowhere to act as a puppet, and manipulated the puppet behind the scenes. A vain attempt to monopolize the power of the Demon Eye's Nest City and become the uncrowned king of Udinos."

"The council broke up unhappy, and after a short while, the ambitious warlords began to gather troops and attack each other, trying to seize the throne of Udinos by force... In this way, the city of Demon Eye's Nest fell into internal strife."

"Lord Saoirse tried her best to appease the forces of all parties, but things backfired. These days, the conflicts in the city have intensified and become more bloody. Only the return of the Supreme can bring Udinos back to peace."

"It is precisely for this purpose that Lady Saoirse wrote me this letter, asking me to persuade Father to return to Udinos to prevent the beholders from killing each other."

Finally, Inanna looked up at her adoptive father, her eyes bewildered.

"Father, what do you think should be done?"

Joan pondered for a moment, then asked her adoptive daughter: "Inanna, you refused to accept the throne of Udinos at the beginning, and now His Majesty Ishtar is no longer here, have you changed your mind and intend to pick up His Majesty Ishtar and abandon it?" The crown that I disregarded, brushed off the dust, put it on my head, and was crowned as the new queen of Udinos, to restore order to my hometown and bring peace to my compatriots?"

"Father, do you want to hear my truth?"

"certainly."

"Frankly speaking, there are two voices arguing in my heart, one of which persuades me to go back to the throne and benefit my people, and the other tells me not to be kidnapped by vanity, do things against my will, and bear the burden imposed on my shoulders. responsibility, otherwise I will regret it sooner or later, and I will be kidnapped on the throne of Udinos for the rest of my life, and I will lose my freedom and happiness since then, and my life would be worse than death."

Tears welled up in Inanna's eyes, her words choked with sobs.

"Father, these two contradictory voices seem to tear my heart apart, making me feel at a loss."

"The sense of morality and responsibility prompted me to choose the first path, returning to my hometown to play the role of the savior; but the true preference in my heart prompted me to choose the other path. If the price of saving my hometown is to sacrifice my own happiness, then I would rather be a selfish ghost! "

"Father, how do you say I should choose?"

Looking at the tearful eyes of her adoptive daughter-in-law, Joan couldn't help feeling pained like a knife, raised her hand to caress Inanna's hair, and said to her softly: "Forget about Saoirse's letter, Inanna, we won't go back to Udinos. .”

"My lord father, I'll listen to you." Inanna let out a long breath, smiling again on her face.

Seeing her daughter's relieved expression, Joan was both relieved and sad.

For the first time since adopting Inanna, he had made up his mind for his daughter, and it was not in line with his usual principles.

If a person fails to follow the inner voice to make a decision when faced with a dilemma, but uses the name of obeying authority to escape, it is tantamount to leaving a way out for himself. In case of regret in the future, there is reason to take "" This is a decision someone else made for me" to excuse myself and avoid responsibility.

Joan's personal experience is a lesson for the past. As long as you take the first step on the road of escaping from reality, you will sink deeper and deeper, and it is difficult to extricate yourself.

He didn't want Inanna to go down this road, but he couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer the torment in her heart, make a choice that was destined to bring great pain between the left and the right, and impulsively made it for her because of a soft heart. After making the decision, I reflected on it afterwards, felt guilty, and secretly warned myself not to make the same mistake again.

Things in the world are probably easier said than done.

Joan persuaded her daughter not to worry about Udinos' beholders who were withdrawn, selfish, and had no compatriot friendship, but after a short while, he broke his promise.

...

Three days after learning that Udinos had fallen into internal strife, Joan was teaching Inanna to learn new spells in Cloud City, when suddenly there was a wave of magic power in front of him, and three balls of red light appeared one after another.

"Father, who sent the 'short message technique'?" Inanna raised her brows in surprise, "I'm afraid there's something urgent about sending so many in one go, please take a look!"

Joan held the light sphere closest to her, read the letter, frowned slightly, and said to her daughter: "It's a letter from Saoirse, something big happened to Udinos!"

Under Inanna's apprehensive gaze, Joan read the other two communication light spheres one by one, and the contents were exactly the same.

Why did Saoirse send three sets of "SMS" with the same content?

This seemingly confusing behavior is actually to ensure that the letter can be delivered to Joan accurately and in a timely manner.

When Joan took Inanna away from Udinos, she revealed to Saoirse that she would take her adopted daughter to a paradise in another world far away from Vales Tianyu to live in seclusion.

When the "short message technique" is transmitted across planes, accidents may occur and information will be lost. It is precisely in order to avoid this situation that when communicating across planes, it is often necessary to send a few more copies, and use the number to hedge the risk of letter loss.

If you count the copy that was accidentally lost on the way, Saoirse probably sent more than these three letters to Joan.

Inanna was very smart, and immediately saw the seriousness of the situation behind the three letters with the same content, and couldn't help asking her adoptive father: "My lord father, is the civil war in Udinos... not over yet?"

"Not only is it not over, but it has deteriorated to the point where wolves are entering the house." Joan couldn't help showing anger.

"Saoirse said in the letter that the six 'Eyes of the Warlord' in the city all had the ambition to seize the throne, and they used their special ability 'Spiritual Control' to control a group of beholder nobles. .”

"Which faction does Lady Saoirse support?" Inanna asked softly.

"She doesn't support anyone. She leads a few nobles to remain neutral, and even speaks out publicly that she will support whoever overseer can defeat other competitors in the civil war."

"Lord Saoirse...is it appropriate to do this?" Inanna was rather disapproving.

"There is no 'Hive Mother's Eye' that can control all beholders in the city, and Saoirse is not good at the ability to forcibly control the will of the beholders such as 'myth control' or 'spirit control', no matter how hard I try Advocating peace, those ambitious warlords will not listen to her, it is better to simply let go and let the warlords in the city kill each other until the last one is left, and Udinos will be at peace."

Joan said to her daughter.
