Chapter 3585 Greed for Life and Fear of Death
Listening to Ozma's request, I suddenly remembered the past story about Ozma and Kazan that Michelle told me.
Kazan is the strongest adventurer of the Peruvian Empire and the strongest general who controls all the armies of the Peruvian Empire.
Ozma is the strongest magician in the Peruvian Empire, and is also the strongest think tank in the Peruvian Empire - of course, specifically in terms of war.
If my guess is correct, that knight's short sword and that warrior's armor were what Kazan was wearing when he was alive.
That staff and that robe were Ozma's equipment during her lifetime.
Since they have such a strong sense of recognition for their respective equipment, there is no need for me to win over others - anyway, there must be a mountain of treasures in the tomb of the monarch of the Peruvian Empire. Apart from these four items, don't all others belong? Me?
I can't help but smile when I think about the mountains of treasures that have become my private property.
This is all my private money. As long as I hide it well and don't let Cajiali and the others discover it, I will have a lot of private money to squander~
"I always feel that your smile is full of evil intentions." Ozma stared at my face for a long time and murmured. Then he became a little excited and said: "It seems like you You are very talented as our pretender, do you want to join the pretender organization and think about it, dear?"
I was disgusted by Ozma's overly affectionate attitude and overly bright smile, so I raised my hand and pushed his handsome face away, "No date, get out!"
Ozma did not force me to join the Roush Pretenders. On the one hand, he found that he could not seduce me. On the other hand, he was afraid that Casillas, who was eyeing him not far away, would suddenly rise up and stab him.
It's not that Ozma bullies the weak and fears the strong. In fact, even when he faces the first apostle, the king of the demon world, and the fateful Kahn, he still looks cynical.
But Kahn will not just slash with a knife if he disagrees. He has the dignity and demeanor of a strong man. If he wants to chop you, he will usually remind you in advance: Be prepared, I am going to chop you.
But Casillas is different, he has no awareness of this at all.
If he feels unhappy, then he will see the truth under the knife, and draw the knife to cut at any time, no matter the occasion, no matter the demeanor, go to hell!
What Ozma is most afraid of is that people who are peaceful one moment and are at war with each other the next moment make him live in fear every day.
After the meal, Held went to the balcony specifically to find me.
The balcony is a place where many men and women fall in love. However, facing such a terrifying woman, I really can't think of flirting or teasing at all.
Even if my strength surpasses her, I probably still can't have any thoughts of teasing her. After all, facing a woman who is so deep-minded that I can't see through her, I can't have any love at all.
Held had no intention of falling in love with me at all. She always had an enigmatic look, and a face that showed no expression except surprise.
I would rather she would be more surprised, or at least a little more humane.
But obviously, she would definitely not agree to such a request. After all, it was inconsistent with her character.
Held looked at the brightly lit town under the night sky and said slowly: "Casillas was defeated by your monsters, and twice?"
"Yes" my answer was concise and to the point.
"Do you have information about that monster?" she asked again.
"No."
"Can I buy it?" She asked again: "I'll pay for it and you buy it for me."
"Probably impossible," I said, "As far as I know, no one has conquered the 40th floor of the dungeon so far."
"Don't all the powerful men in Zephyr Continent want to make progress?" Held narrowed his eyes and asked.
"This shouldn't have anything to do with not being enterprising," I explained: "Among the group of adventurers, there are very few loners like me. Most of them form groups to attack dungeons, especially those pioneers who open up wasteland. With the country as a unit, form a strategy team to conduct a progressive strategy for the dungeon."
"Today's dungeon has only been conquered to the thirty-fifth floor, and the land below has not been cleared yet."
"But Casillas has conquered the fortieth floor," Held said solemnly: "Don't the humans in Zephyr Continent want to form a group with him and conquer together?"
"Are they worried that Casillas is too strong, covering up their shine? Or are they too pedantic and do not recognize strong foreign players?"
"That's not the case," I said. "If it was just for the purpose of clearing up wasteland, the 40th floor would have been conquered long ago. There is no shortage of strong men in the Zephyr Continent who can defeat Casillas in one strike, but they did not do so. The main purpose It’s still about cultivating new people.”
"I don't think that's the case," Held said with a sneer on his lips, "Is it because the strong men in Zephyr Continent are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"If you must say so."
Held turned his head. Looking at me quietly.
I guess she must be thinking at this moment that if I become angry, she will continue to add fuel to the flames, and then after calming things down in the Demon Realm a little, she will urge me to urge the strong men of Zephyr Continent to conquer the 40th floor.
Smiling slightly, I changed the subject and said, "It's not that it can't be understood this way."
Held was slightly shocked and confused.
"The former protectors of the Zephyr Continent were two ancient races. Perhaps you have heard of this?"
Held thought for a few seconds and nodded.
"But since experiencing the catastrophic disaster at the end of the ancient times, the two ancient races have disappeared and been replaced by the forest elf tribe, which later became the elf tribe and the elves. You should do this You’ve heard a little bit about it, right? You probably only know the identity of Infernal One Iqi, right?”
Held nodded again.
"This period is called the period of goblin rule," I said, "that is, the period when you transferred Long-Legged Lotus to the back of the giant beast of the sky."
"But later, with the decline and end of the goblin rule, the true protector of Zephyr Continent no longer exists, at least on the surface, it can no longer be found."
"The Zephyr Continent, which has lost its patrons, has actually fallen into a very dangerous situation. Any foreign invader may capture the Zephyr Continent - provided that the Zephyr Continent really has no patrons anymore. I mean There is no such thing as a protector either openly or secretly.”
"The strong men belonging to various countries no longer call themselves the protectors of the planet. Instead, they fight on their own and protect their own countries."
"This is why strong people will not easily take risks, because the death of any top strong person may bring unimaginable disasters to the country to which he belongs, unless this strong person has cultivated a strong relationship with him. A successor of similar strength can take his place at any time."
"This is also the reason why the strong men of Zephyr Continent are unwilling to go deep into the underground city - it is too mysterious and strange, and even the most powerful adventurer may be killed if he is not careful."
