Chapter 382: Venomous Snake in the Treasure Vault
Translator: ih the people in the tiny cockpit appeared to be discussing major issues that could shakecasually, as if they didn’t feel they were discussing anything important
“Bardi… Orloss means you should hand over the assassins and treat this as a case of a personal grudge Of course, the Mage Country should also sign a fory and ree At the very least, you should hand over the assassins They’re just a few Dark Elves Otherwise Orloss won’t be able to explain it to his citizens”
Evelyn didn’t mince her words in the least Who knew if it was because Copper Dragons naturally loathed Dark Elves or if it was her who didn’t like my Dark Elves?
“If you truly understand me, then you should know that this is absolutely impossible I only listen to softballhardball with me… Fine then—actually, neither method works on me You can call me overly protective or unreasonable, but I have zero intentions of handing anyone over”
All that happened was that my Dark Elves killed an evil cri And since , as their boss, how could I possibly retreat and co me? They wanted me to hand the Dark Elves over? Never
” Tsk ! As stubborn as in my memories I suppose it’s to be expected If you were soainst the entire Bardi Empire by yourself back then And, the Eve—the Cher from that year wouldn’t have fallen in love with you”
She whispered the last part in a tiny voice, but I still ed to hear her clearly However, I preferred to pretend that I didn’t, as I truly did not want to know the events of the past
“Aren’t you curious?”
“…I would be lying if I said I wasn’t, but considering the troubles I’ll meet after I remember, it’d be for the best forI absolutely rit her teeth in anger
“…An even slyer smile than what’s in ht then, I didn’t knohether I should laugh or cry It seemed I accidentally stepped on some landmine
However, it was fortunate that we represented the negotiation between two major factions Cher, especially, si all personal issues aside For the ti, at least
Once we finished our discussion, Evelyn got up and said goodbye She took Cher along with her, saying that she wanted to “Have a long evening talk with Cher to deepen our hter relationshi+p” However, I felt that Evelyn intended to tell Cher about the entire messy relationshi+p from back in the year
I considered the fact that I needed to cure Cher, so I would also need her cooperation Rather thanlots of effort to obtain her trust, it would beto her I didn’t stop the two of theh , this relationshi+p is iet it Let’s let things play out naturally”
“You’re just avoiding the probleht that I don’t even kno to counter you, silly cat”
The ht about s were I decided instead to concentrate on the main task at hand
“Aso… I truly underestimated you”
From a certain standpoint, Aso was an incredible individual
There was no need to go into any more detail about his nu, at the age where we needed to brag about our achievelory” to people as old as us would typically be nothing more than burdens and frustrations He had personally led and coordinated all the invasion efforts by himself and had left several hidden killer chess pieces, such as the potential Bardi “Undead Plague” or the Salo’s Crystal “nuclear bomb” aimed at the Truth Syness
At the very least, if I were in his position, there was no guarantee I would do any better
Perhaps the only part where he was lacking was in luck
In the game’s history, Aso had successfully led the undead invasion, but hetheir hands into the same pocket He just happened to run into the revived titan Giants—he could only end up fighting against them
Yet in this version of the world, once Aso discovered that his scheme was exposed and that the few Di the Tark Republic’s plan to return, he unhesitatingly sacrificed himself All in the hope that the Tark Republic would be able to inevitably return
The flip side of the coin was that he had led the entire undead invasion by hireat authority, he had been far too important to the Tark Republic
As a typical Undead Emperor, he lacked trust in both his subordinates and fellow Undead Emperors The end result was that after his death, the secrets that only he kneere lost His killer traps didn’t have anyone to activate the to die off just like this and take all his knowledge to the grave This great sche for several centuries would be ruined just like this
And so Aso had handed over the keys to his knowledge to the only other Undead Emperor present at the time—me But he didn’t tell me much Obviously, he didn’t trust ainst me
However, a nuclear boas the activation code existed, it would forever be a threat That’s why, as long as he handed over the activation code, he wouldn’t lose out in the end
Since I no about the lock, finding the right key on the keychain was simply a matter of tiredients Only a miniscule amount of this potion needs to be dispersed on the air, and it will begin the mutation of the bloodlines all Bardi citizens who inhale this fragrance And this ins”
