Chapter 2130 Madness

Carter Horton is right.

But that theory only applies to humans.

In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is vulnerable.

Just imagine, when you apply that theory to the dragons, will the dragons be moved by your sweet words?

No, no, they will just treat your words as ridiculous insect noises. If they are in a good mood, they may ignore you. If they are impatient, they can crush you to pieces at any time.

That's the difference in power.

Don't think that you ascended to the position of king by conspiracy and trickery. You are just a poor worm lying under the shadow of your ancestors.

The reason why I compare you to a pitiful creature is that, after all, Zephyr Continent is not a world where you can become tyrannical by relying on intrigues. It relies on absolute strength, personality charm, and finally, machinations.

If Carter Adams didn't have absolute strength and only relied on a mouth and a smart mind, how could he be honored at the ceremony? How to be followed by powerful people? How to be loved and followed by all people?

I listened quietly to Carter Horton's last sentence. From beginning to end, I didn't make any sound, and I didn't bother to refute the last word.

It's no longer necessary.

Carter Horton has been completely hypnotized by his own Machiavellian tactics. He does not believe in disasters, historical documents, or any outsiders.

He only believes in himself.

In terms of trust, he is like a trembling mouse hiding in an isolated city, afraid to take a step out of the isolated city for fear of being swallowed up by the outside world.

I breathed out softly and softened my tone: "Sir Carter Horton, I know you don't trust me, and you don't trust any foreigner, but at the end of this, I still beg you to let go. Hold on to your own dignity, put aside your harmful and useless stubbornness and prejudices, think about your family, think about your country, listen to my advice and stop digging. Under the Gobi, there is not only fine gold and mithril, but also fine gold and mithril. A terrible disaster.”

"Disaster. Disaster! Besides disaster, what else do you know?" Carter Horton's tone suddenly became high-pitched, like a singing donkey: "Whether it's you, Fergus Raphael, or Lesta, you three, since the last time we met, are like flies, constantly nagging in my ears about disaster, disaster, disaster! If there really are so many things hidden underground in Zephyr Continent, If there was a disaster, this world would have been over long ago!”

"Stop mentioning Disaster to me. Disaster has been wiped out by the ancestors long ago! You keep talking about Disaster to me over and over again. Don't you just want to take the opportunity to stop my mining of adamantine and mithril?" Carter Holden sneered: "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You just want to collude with Da Sai City and use horrifying legends to force me to dare not set foot in the Gobi so that you can occupy that great mineral deposit!"

I was stunned speechless by Carter Horton's misunderstanding.

But in fact, it is normal for him to think this way, because it is difficult for any monarch to resist the temptation of huge mineral deposits, especially this mineral deposit is still in public territory.

Just when I was thinking hard about what to say, Carter Horton's cold voice sounded: "An Xiaoyi, put away your ridiculous threatening remarks and be your prime minister of Dashai City and elder of Moonlight City. This Maybe it's a good place to end up. If you want to take a step further in the political arena with your little cleverness and little tricks, you will most likely fall from the pinnacle of power and be shattered into pieces. Haha, politics, you play It doesn’t turn.”

After that, he hung up the call.

I silently put down the phone crystal, feeling a little helpless and a little sad.

After thinking for a while, I dialed the crystal again and contacted the Orc King.

"His Majesty."

"Call me father-in-law."

"father in law."

"You are contacting me at this time to tell me about Carter Horton, right?"

"Um."

"I already know." The Orc King's voice was unusually calm: "Your strategy is good, but unfortunately, you met Carter Horton. He is a suspicious person. The more we force him, the crazier he becomes. This is like a spring."

I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't laugh because I felt guilty. I was silent for a few seconds before whispering: "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. I just said that your strategy is very good. So, tell me, Xiaoyi, what are you going to do next? Do you have any preliminary plans?"

"Yes." I hesitated for a moment, then gritted my teeth and said, "I contacted some powerful friends and borrowed troops from them."

"Oh?" The Beastman King was a little surprised, a little surprised: "What kind of friend? A mercenary?"

"No," I said, "It's some stronger friends."

Hearing this, the Beastman King smiled: "Why, you can't even tell me?"

"No, I'm just worried."

"What are you worried about?" The orc king said, "Worried that I will steal your soldiers? Haha, don't worry, although I like strong men, I will not steal my son-in-law without grace."

I pursed my lips and hesitated.

"If it's not convenient to say it, then don't say it, so as not to embarrass you."

"Well, thank you, father-in-law." After pondering for a few seconds, I added: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but you must be calm and don't make it public. Don't tell anyone except my mother-in-law. Can you promise me?"

"Well, it seems that this is really important to you." The Orc King pondered for a while and said loudly: "Okay, I promise you, before you agree, you will never say a word to outsiders, otherwise."

"That's enough, that's enough." I quickly interrupted: "As long as you have your guarantee, nothing else is needed."

Taking a deep breath, I whispered: "Father-in-law, to tell you the truth, those friends of mine are from the Dragon Clan."

On the other side of the crystal, there was silence for dozens of seconds before suddenly bursting out with an exclamation: "What! Dragon Clan! Xiaoyi, you..."

"Father-in-law, please be careful."

"I, I, I"

The Beastman King thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Dragon Clan? Xiaoyi, tell me, when did you get involved with the Dragon Clan?"

"I dare not hide it from you. We got to know each other when we were excavating the tombs of the goblins. Later, through their contact with each other, we solidified our friendship. Well, it's a friendship, yes."

"Did the Dragon Clan negotiate terms with you when they lent you soldiers?"

"No," I confessed, "These troops are not perfect for the Dragon Clan, that's why they were willing to send them to me."

"Hiss, ah" the Beastman King took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Dragon Clan, that's the Dragon Clan. Haha, a powerful race that was once called disaster. Even I felt frightened when I heard this. This terrifying existence turned out to be my son-in-law. Friends, haha, haha, hahahaha!”

The orc king looked like he was crazy and let out a burst of wild laughter.
