Chapter 1944 Subversion
I will not do such disgusting things as acting as a light bulb and disturbing others to express their feelings.
Moreover, we are still brothers and sisters whom we have not seen for many years. Although I have not tried, I can somewhat understand the lovesickness and sorrow.
However, if the scene where the Elf Queen and Akahavi were alone was seen by others, especially some elders, then things would get serious.
At a small scale, I was derelict in my duties and ignored His Majesty's safety; at a larger scale, I was framed by His Majesty and shaken the foundation of the country.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hurriedly picked a few dozen wild strawberries, ran to the edge of the forest, and climbed into the canopy of a nearby towering tree.
As the saying goes, climb high and see far.
The location I am currently in is a tree crown dozens of meters high. Through the branches and leaves, I can look down at the earth, and I can see everything within a few hundred meters.
I was leisurely eating wild strawberries and looking around when the branches beside me suddenly swayed and made a soft sound.
I was startled by the sudden noise, and when I turned around, I saw Akahavi sitting firmly on another tree branch, with one leg on top of the other, and the other leg hanging dangling on the tree branch. Half empty.
Seeing that it was him, I breathed a sigh of relief, threw a freshly cleaned wild strawberry into my mouth, and said while chewing: "The conversation is over so quickly?"
"You look disappointed," Akahavi joked.
"I thought that with your brother-sister relationship, you would have to chat for hours. Even if you really have nothing to say, you would at least have to hug each other and cry for hours. This is considered a passionate brother-sister relationship."
"What do you think we are?" Akahavi asked with a smile, "Husband and wife?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"Of course not." He shook his head slowly and heavily: "Even if I ignore secular opinions and break the shackles of ethics, I still can't give her happiness."
"Hey! Hey!" I interrupted him loudly and said displeasedly: "Isn't it interesting that you are so timid? This is not like the behavior of a hero who has been able to hide until now."
"Hero?" Akahavi looked over in surprise and said unexpectedly: "You say I am a hero?"
"exactly."
He was silent, and the tips of his fingers resting on the branch of the tree trembled slightly, whether he was shaken or too excited.
"Why, don't you think so?"
He shook his head: "I am a sinner. I ended my young life with my own hands and led others to massacre most of the members of the goblin royal family."
"But you are actually in pain and troubled. Moreover, I don't think you, with such pure eyes, can be such a cruel person."
"Can pure eyes prove that one's nature is good?"
"At least that's what I think." Looking at him, I said softly: "The eyes are the windows of the soul and the direct reflection of the soul. No matter how much you can hide or deceive, you can't hide your gaze."
"Maybe" Akahavi smiled calmly.
"Do you feel a lot more relaxed?"
He nodded.
"The conversation just now was surprising," I said, "I didn't expect that the person who knows you best would be your enemy, right?"
"No" he shook his head slightly: "I have already thought of it."
"When did you start thinking about it?" I asked.
"From the time I sent out the first assassins."
"Are you referring to those weak assassins?" I asked again.
"Yes" he said.
"There's something I don't understand. Since you know those assassins can't hurt me at all, why did you send them to die?"
"It's very simple," Akahavi said seriously: "If they don't die, you will be the one who dies."
Looking at each other for a moment, I nodded: "I understand, it seems I have to thank you properly."
"What are you going to say thank you for?" he asked with a smile.
"How about this?" He spread his hand and handed over a few wild strawberries: "It's delicious."
He took the wild strawberries, counted them, and said, "If it's just these, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Spreading my hands, I said helplessly: "No matter how much you have, there won't be any left. I have to go down to pick them. But I guess, as long as I go down, you will leave here, right?"
Akahavi didn't say anything. He picked up a wild strawberry with a smile, put it gently into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Sighing softly, I said, "It seems that's it. I'd better not go down. Let's chat here for three days and three nights. We'll eat leaves when we're hungry and drink morning dew when we're thirsty. How about that?"
"This is not possible," he refused: "The most I can do is stay for a while."
"Well, tell me what I can do to repay you for saving my life."
"Take good care of Anasta for me." Akahavi's eyes showed warmth: "She is very lonely and helpless. She needs someone to support her, love her and give her courage."
"If it were you who did it, the effect would be very good." I shook my head regretfully: "It's a pity that you entrusted it to a fool who doesn't know how to cheer up."
"The person who can defeat the evil dragon is not a fool, maybe he is wise and foolish."
"I didn't expect you to know this rumor too," I said with a wry smile, "Rumors always come very fast, almost catching up with the spread of the flu."
"Rumors can be cured, but rumors are not that easy to cure," Akahavi said: "You have to cultivate your own power as soon as possible, and it is best to find a solid foothold on this continent."
"Is the force behind you planning to take any action?"
"Well" he whispered: "They have already noticed you. According to your current development speed, it won't be long before they start to pay attention to you. And by then, if you don't have a solid enough foothold, They will attack you."
"Like that to you?"
"Just like what you did to me, no, it's more cruel than what you did to me," Akahavi said seriously, "Because you have a family, a lover, and friends."
"This is a bit distressing. To be honest, I haven't found your headquarters until today. If one day, the forces behind you attack my family, I don't even know where to go to take revenge." Curling my lips, I leaned closer to him and whispered: "How about you tell me quietly where your headquarters is? Don't worry, I will never betray you."
"It's okay to tell you, but with your current power, it's difficult to hurt them," Akahavi said.
"Although my current power is not very strong, if I go all out, it will be enough to put any country into great trouble. Even if it is like this, won't it be enough?"
"Not enough, not enough at all," Akahavi said: "I can tell you very seriously that it is very powerful and has a wide range of influence. If it is strong enough, it can subvert any country."
"Even Wychburgh?"
"Even Fort Wich is no exception," Akahavi said seriously.
