Ryan didn't expect that Mother Herest would value him so much, and directly expressed her optimism about Ryan's promotion to the demigod king in her words. This made Ryan very moved, but the thought that followed was also unsettling. An uncontrollable thought came to mind: "What is the purpose of Mistress Hester doing this? Is it just to win over herself?"
Mother Hester seemed to see the doubts behind Ryan's excited expression. She pointed to the seat, and after sitting back with Ryan respectively, she spoke again: "Lian, I have spent hundreds of years carefully I studied and studied the deeds of dozens of demigod kings in the history of other worlds, hoping to find some rules or clues. However, I spent so much time and energy, but in the end I only found two words, and that is luck."
"Luck." Ryan was slightly startled when he heard this, because he had heard this statement from the God of Magic and Conspiracy, but he didn't expect that Mother Hester actually thought so too. Somewhat beyond Ryan's expectation, is this the so-called hero's consensus
Of course, Matron Herest didn't know that Ryan had ever seen the image of a real god. When she saw Ryan's dazed expression, she thought he didn't understand what she meant, so she explained in detail: "Speaking of the alien world, it has been here for many years. There are only dozens of demigod kings. Could it be that in such a vast space, countless creatures, and countless planes derived from it, there are just such a few outstanding figures for hundreds of thousands of years? No, then It's impossible. Apart from anything else, when I was still a strong player in the field, there were more than a hundred people competing with me at the same time, and many of them were better than me. But why was it that I finally broke through the bottleneck and stepped onto the stage? We’ve taken this step.”
"At that time, there were many adventures and battles. Even I thought that I had fallen into a fatal dilemma and there was no possibility of escape. However, I got the protection of the goddess Rose and miraculously escaped from everything. , but those peers whose amazing talents made me have to look up to them have slowly rotted with the dust and disappeared in the long river of history... "
The retelling of old events seemed to move Matron Hester quite a bit, and her face also showed the sadness of reminiscing. It was obvious that she remembered many unforgettable past events, but she quickly regained her composure and said again: "Lian Didn't you rely solely on strength to get to where you are today? I don't need to elaborate on this truth. You should understand it if you recall it carefully."
After seeing Ryan nod, Matron Herister continued: "When I found out that I was promoted to king and accepted the respect of the world, it was not because I was the best among mortals, but the luckiest one. I have been depressed for a long time, but I have learned a lot because of it. Ryan, you may guess my intentions in your heart, but I really have no other sinister intentions in treating you so well. It is just for the future of the dark elves. That’s all.”
"Ryan, your current strength is enough to disdain the strong men of the same level. Unless we seven old guys take action personally, who else in the other world can check and balance you and your companions? It can be said that you have become the one who currently dominates the other world. The most threatening hidden danger in the hearts of the seven races, these guys came to me just to get rid of this trouble. I am treating you like this. If Ryan, you are not lucky enough to become a demigod, why should I bother you now? If you take action against you, you will only let others take a big advantage."
"Furthermore, let me say something heartbreaking, do you think I haven't considered this possibility? It's just that your strength, Ryan, has improved faster than I imagined. You and I have fought against each other once in Proka City. At that time, you were nothing more than At the peak of the legend, there are at least more than a thousand people in this world with such a small character. I am absolutely sure to kill you, even if I just send out a clone, but there is no need to do such a meaningless little thing, but in just a few months you actually You became Aledia's ally, and quickly advanced to the realm during the battle. Then you made artifacts and killed strong men in the same realm. In the past few days, you have shown the ability of an enchantment master... "
Mother Hester's words made Ryan break into a cold sweat. He was also glad that he had made the right decision. If he hadn't stayed anonymous but swaggered around, he probably wouldn't have been able to wait until he reunited with his other separated companions. died at the hands of a certain king or a powerful person in the field sent by him,
At this time, Matron Herister sighed and continued: "Ryan, your biggest advantage is that you can go from the peak of legend to the advanced field, and then show signs of being promoted to demigod. In one year, even if a certain king wants to do something, it will be too late. At this point, even if any one of the seven of us takes action, there is no guarantee of completely annihilating you and your race. As long as a person is left far away. The king who escaped and took action has brought powerful enemies to his race that will never stop him. It is not surprising that he caused the genocide because of this. After all, we are all tens of thousands of years old. If Ryan, you are willing to remain anonymous. Hiding in a certain plane and quietly improving our strength, one day we will wait until the moment we fall, and there is no guarantee that we can find a new demigod king to continue to protect our people."
"Even if we find you at all costs, what can we do? Should we send out many strong men at once to fight you to death together, or should we send out our bodies in person to have a long and boring chase? But Who among the seven kings dares to leave his clansmen in other worlds and go to other planes alone? If you don't have to wait for thousands of years to come back for revenge, your bloodline and clansmen may have been exterminated by the other kings." After saying this, Matron Herister's tone changed: "You may have thought of some of these things, and you may not have figured them out now, but you will definitely understand them over time. If you are really lucky enough to be promoted to We are on an equal footing, why don't I let the dark elves have an additional ally instead of adding a deadly enemy? Boyardinas and Aledia's actions have already verified the consequences of these two situations. , As long as you are not demented, you will make the most correct choice."
"Of course, what really made me make up my mind were the few little things you did inadvertently. This is why I said before that I admire your character very much. That conversation at the White Rui Tower in Charregister City If you have any ill will towards us in your heart, you will be moved by it. In that case, I will have to take action even if I try to leave a problem. But you are completely unmoved, which shows that you may hate Boyadina in your heart. Silk's approach, but he is not hostile to the dark elves. The next work you did on Drolnimo almost directly destroyed a powerful race that dominated the other world. The puppet clone of the illithid mastermind has become angry in the past few days. An ultimatum was issued to me, and it was the first time in ten thousand years to see such an expression on that guy’s face, which made me chuckle, hahahaha.”
After laughing, Mistress Herest picked up another cup and took a sip, and said to Ryan: "The number of humans is far less than that of the dark elves. Even if you are given ten thousand years of development, you will never be able to reach what we, the dark elves, are now." At this point, Ryan yourself and your companions all lack ambition, so you are the best choice for allies. By forming an alliance with you, I don’t need to worry about future generations, and I can use your power to intimidate all parties. This is what I am determined to invite. The reason why you are here, Lion, are you willing to become an ally of the Dark Elves."
When Mother Herest asked this question, Ryan looked embarrassed. He was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he explained directly: "We are Aledia's allies, and I don't want to betray her."
"Haha, isn't Aledia a dark elf? Isn't she my subordinate?" A sly smile suddenly appeared on Matron Hester's face, and she said to Ryan: "Actually, after you accepted my After that letter of appointment, you are already one of my subordinates in name, and you and Aledia have also changed from allies to colleagues. As long as you do not do anything detrimental to her, the covenant between you will not change. There has been no influence, it’s just like the agreement signed secretly by Aledia and Wovanrilla, isn’t it?”
Ryan was speechless after hearing what Mother Herest said. Although he was tricked by the other party, this matter did not cause any loss to Ryan. Instead, he was successfully accepted into the dark elf system. Among them, although it is more honorable to become the eighth force of the alien world and compete with the other seven kings, as Matron Herister reminded her before, intentionally or unintentionally, Ryan's tribe is too small, and he can't even develop a completely different one. The Netherland plane that enters the sight of those domain lords in other worlds must also rely on the power of multiple allies including the Nagas, Sirens, Elves, and Dwarves. Even if it takes time to be promoted to demigods and become Heris The existence of the special mistress and the others are not qualified to participate in the Millennium War independently. Ryan and his companions cannot be allowed to fight alone on the front line, so they become interdependent allies with the dark elves. It is Ryan's best choice, which is completely in the interests of both parties. Ryan can't think of a reason to refuse.
"On behalf of humanity and our allies, I accept this proposal from the dark elves." After Ryan made up his mind, he stood up, stretched out one of his palms to shake it with the palm extended by Matron Herest, and then said every word He said solemnly: "From today on, we are each other's allies. We will never abandon each other to resist external threats. As long as the dark elves do not abandon us, we will be your most powerful comrades and companions."
