Chapter 365: Debate and Audience

Northern Wind Castle, Iron Dragon Wing Palace.

Cassius lay on the huge iron throne, not far in front of him was the angry Olivia.

The silver dragon had now transformed into a human form, still looking like a silver-haired girl, still wearing a long dress with stars shining on it.

"Cassius, why are you still slaughtering those northern nobles? They have surrendered, there is no need to carry out unnecessary killings!"

"No, this is not a massacre."

"It's a trial."

Cassius opened his eyes and said calmly. He stretched out his claws lazily, and suddenly, a clear magic image appeared in the air.

"Death penalty! Death penalty! Kill him!"

The picture shows a crowd of angry people, who gathered in the square, raised their hands and shouted enthusiastically.

Cassius admired the scene and said with a smile: "Did you see it?"

"It wasn't me who killed them, but the angry northern people who killed them, or rather, the northern nobles who destroyed everything they had - even their lives."

"This is the price they need to pay, and it is also a trial that implements justice and fairness."

"If there hadn't been thousands of years of cruel oppression and exploitation by the northern nobles, how could the northern people hate them so much that they would drag them to the guillotine?"

"This"

Olivia frowned slightly, was speechless for a moment, and didn't know how to refute.

Because the trial was indeed completed under the supervision of the northern people, and it was indeed in line with their wishes. Although the kingdom was deliberately inciting emotions, this is still an indisputable fact.

For Olivia, who is a lawful and kind person, it is obviously inappropriate to explain this public trial with pragmatic reasons such as "dividing people's hearts and consolidating rule".

And the high-sounding words such as "just trial, resistance to oppression" are a good reason, which just fits the metal dragons' psychology of worshipping goodness.

Cassius thought to himself.

Olivia shook her head and whispered: "In any case, your methods are too extreme. I admit that oppression exists, but some of them are obviously not guilty of death."

"But this is still the choice of the people - isn't it?"

Cassius still answered like this.

Facing the red dragon's high-sounding slaughter under the banner of "justice", Olivia was speechless and could only hold her skirt tightly and sulk.

Cassius slowly stood up and shook his huge dragon body:

"Olivia, the process of unification is often cruel and violent. The old forces that are about to die will inevitably resist fiercely, and blood is inevitable."

"And only in this way can we bring a more lasting peace."

The red dragon turned his head to look at Olivia, and a faint light flashed in his light golden pupils.

"But absolute violence cannot maintain long-term rule, nor can it establish a new order, so kindness and order are also necessary for the existence of the country."

"And this is why I invite you to join the kingdom, my Councillor Olivia."

Olivia hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding the other party's deep, decadent gaze, and pursed her lips slightly.

"I, I know."

"I will definitely do my duty."

The hem of her skirt was wrinkled, and sweat oozed from her forehead.

Olivia had prepared for several days in her mind, and was fully prepared to confront and argue with the other party, and even prepared to provoke the other party.

But when she really faced this red dragon, she was still timid and couldn't say a word from beginning to end.

"I'm controlled by this guy again"

Olivia pursed her lips and thought to herself.

Suddenly, Cassius' voice interrupted her thoughts: "By the way, Olivia, how are your injuries?"

The silver-haired girl shook her head gently: "It's okay, the spear was not aimed at me, so I was just infected by a little abyss energy."

Casius smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for standing up at that time."

This sounded very sincere.

Faced with this sudden thank you, Olivia's tone suddenly stagnated.

Then, she said stubbornly: "And I stood in front of you at that time, not only to save you - but also to prevent you from being infected by the will of the abyss and bring greater harm to the creatures of the main material plane."

Suddenly, she flashed with tiny mana auras, her figure expanded rapidly, and turned back into the slender and elegant silver dragon, with chaotic energy injuries on her wings.

"Since you are injured, don't maintain the transformation spell anymore, and don't foolishly think about seeking justice for those nobles."

"Heal your wounds well."

Casius' voice sounded again.

Olivia only felt a silver-white light descending, soothing her wounds, and the feeling made her feel quite familiar.

"This is..."

"The power of His Majesty Bahamut?"

"Could it be that Cassius really converted to the Lord of the North Wind?"

Such a thought flashed through Olivia's mind, and then she slowly closed her eyes.

The slender and graceful silver dragon body rose and fell rhythmically with its breathing, the wound on its wings was recovering rapidly, and the chaotic energy was also being dispelled.

"Is this the power of order?"

Cassius pinched the "Bahamut Wind" that exuded silver light, and gently waved his right claw.

Along with the distortion of space, a portal appeared in front of him, and Olivia's dragon body was teleported to the side hall of the palace.

Now, the red dragon's control over the [kingdom] has reached its peak. If it is on the territory of the kingdom, he is even confident that he can defeat Osedro without any external force.

…

"Master."

A voice came from the magic mirror in the hall.

The seal of the magic net was lifted, and Rump's ugly face appeared on the mirror.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, I found a very promising human in North Wind Castle. She can access the third layer of the magic net at the age of nine, and she may have the talent to become a legendary warlock."

"In addition, she also hates the nobles of the North and has a strong sense of belonging to the kingdom."

"Oh?"

"What's her name?"

Kaxiu was immediately interested.

Without any magic education, she can cast a three-ring spell without a teacher at the age of nine. This can be called a gifted talent even in the entire Feansuo continent.

"Misha, her name is Misha."

Rump hurriedly replied.

"Misha?"

"This name seems familiar."

Casius's long-forgotten memories were once again awakened.

"Mad Fire Witch" Misha was sold as a slave to a noble earl since she was a child and was inhumanely abused in the basement.

Later, she went completely crazy, but also awakened her unparalleled talent for fire magic.

Misha burned hundreds of people including the earl to death, turned the entire city into a sea of ​​fire, and built the "Tower of Evil Fire" on the ruins covered with ashes with the goal of burning everything.

After the players came, Misha became the final boss of the [Mad Fire Witch] series of side quests and was defeated by the players. She died when she was less than seventeen years old, but she already had a challenge level of 16.

"This is interesting now."

"It is indeed a legendary talent, and even higher achievements in the future. Such a good seedling must not be missed."

Casius rubbed his chin and thought so.

"Trumpe, bring her here immediately."

"Yes, Master." (End of this chapter)
