Seeing Closu Mira's slightly funny expression, Emperor Luo Hui froze in place, his lips trembling slightly, and he did not wait for anyone's answer:
"Qilome, tell me, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Staring at Emperor Luo Hui, Qirom sighed:
“The reason why we went to war with Wansheng Kingdom was all due to the Demon King’s conspiracy.
Your Majesty, do you remember receiving reports of the appearance of a succubus
They were probably the Demon King's advance troops who appeared on this continent early in the morning.
The truth was revealed on purpose to lure the hero over there. Otherwise, the hero would have exposed the succubus lurking in the royal capital.
The succubus's goal is to cause conflicts among the countries on the continent and weaken the continent's power from within.
In this war that lasted for more than nine years, nearly ten years, countless outstanding soldiers from both our side and the orcs died in the battle.
Our two countries have spent a lot of manpower and material resources on this war, but the outcome has yet to be decided, and it is they who are obstructing it.
We don't know where the devil will attack from, but even a fool knows that you have to pick the weak ones.
They will certainly begin their invasions in war-torn and vulnerable countries.
Our country and Wansheng Republic are the first to bear the brunt.
It’s such a simple truth, and the devil’s arrival is just around the corner, so why can’t the fighting between the two countries stop!
Why is that? Are you underestimating the Demon King
Or has someone guided you to ignore the devil?"
Emperor Luo Hui gritted his teeth bitterly, unable to accept what Qiluom said:
"How do you explain the ancient prophecies
The prophecy indicates that we and the sub-humans will always be irreconcilable. If we don't eliminate the sub-humans, we humans will definitely be killed by them.
It was because of that prophecy that I finally made up my mind to start a war!"
Qiluom's gaze seemed to penetrate Luo Hui, and he slowly said: "Your Majesty, who on earth told you this
Who told you that subhumans will replace humans
Who gave you this perception?"
Emperor Luo Hui looked at the ruins group in the corner. The ruins group leader and several officials knelt down with trembling legs and said:
“Your Majesty, the translation and interpretation of ancient texts should be viewed with reservations.
We don’t know what kind of mood the person who wrote the article was in, and we need to verify it from multiple sources before we can decide on a general interpretation of the translation.
I must have been manipulated by someone at that time, so I said such words in front of Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Emperor Luo Hui didn't know what to do for a moment, and even felt a little envious of those officials who had been freed from the enchantment.
If even he was bewitched, he would be able to smile and say to the people present at this time, "Damn succubus, I must catch all of you and burn you at the stake."
But Emperor Luo Hui was very clear-headed and he had never been controlled by a succubus.
Even if a succubus infiltrates the country's institutions, he is the one who makes the final decision.
It was still him who listened to slander, started a war, and pushed his country into the abyss.
Now he couldn't be so shameless as to say that since everyone was bewitched by the succubus, they should think of a way to expel the succubus from the country, stop the war, and unite with the orcs to fight against the Demon King.
Even if the ministers here can accept it, can the people accept it? Can the soldiers who died on the battlefield and still believe in the empire and fight on the front line accept it
Will those orcs who have been devastated by war accept it
I can't stop anymore.
Emperor Luo Hui was in a dilemma. He couldn't think of a way to solve so many problems at the same time, and he couldn't help but start to escape in his heart:
"When you said that, it was actually what you really thought!
The subhumans will eventually wage war against us humans and replace us. We are just taking the initiative.
You just hide the truth you believe in deep in your heart, and the succubus just reveals your inner heart to me, so I started this war.
Come on! Do you think so? You definitely think so, right
Don't be afraid, tell me what you really think.
I told you, tell me what you really think!
Tell me quickly!
Tell me it was right to start this war!"
The members of the ruins research team pressed their foreheads against the cold floor, saying nothing.
Even though they were bewitched by the succubus, the words they said indirectly led to this war.
In order to please the emperor, they could say that the emperor was right, but once it was proven that what they said was false, they would lose their heads.
If they don't answer now, the emperor will at most get angry and dismiss them from their posts, which is much better than losing their lives.
Each of them knows clearly what is more important.
"Why don't you speak? I'm asking you questions!" Emperor Luo Hui grinned and clenched his fists tightly.
Chirom couldn't help but burst into laughter. He called the emperor by his name:
“Hahahahahaha.
Luo Hui, you haven't changed much since before.
I advise you to find a mirror and take a good look at how ugly you are now.
Can this also be called the emperor of this country
Let me tell you.
Even if that prophecy was true, it has already been fulfilled.
”
Luo Hui grabbed his forehead with one hand and smiled as if he had found a glimmer of hope: "Realized? How is this possible! You are really getting old and confused. Aren't we humans all standing here now?"
Chirom stood up straight, restrained his smile, and said seriously:
"That depends on how Your Majesty defines human beings.
But no matter how Your Majesty defines human beings, it is probably different from the definition of human beings by the author who wrote that ancient text.
The person who wrote that ancient text might have lived during the war of gods and was one of the creators of the ruins.
The human beings they define are the truly pure human beings.
What about us.
Your Majesty, when do you think humans started living together with various subhumans
That was a long time ago that cannot be traced back. Even if the demihumans were expelled by us, it cannot change the fact that they were once widely distributed in this world.
Since they are widely distributed in this world, regardless of their number, intermarriage between demihumans and humans is inevitable.
The offspring born from the intermarriage between subhumans and humans will mate with humans generation after generation, and their physical characteristics will gradually decrease, until they are no different from humans in the end.
After many generations, if the offspring of humans and subhumans are placed together with ordinary humans, can you tell them apart
If there is no way to distinguish them, there is no way to prevent the fusion of subhuman and human blood.
Today, human blood is no longer pure.
Ancient humans were aware of this, so they wrote down the so-called ancient prophecies.
Perhaps, in the eyes of ancient humans, we are the sub-humans who are ‘dirty’, ‘barbaric’, and ‘disgusting like humans’. ”
Emperor Luo Hui stretched out his hands, covered his ears, and said:
"Don't say it anymore, I will never admit it."
Chirom shook his head: "Whether you admit it or not, it won't change the facts.
Besides, although you consciously ignore it, dragons seem to be a kind of sub-human.
Will there really be humans who can defeat such monsters in the future
Even if all the people died, dragons would probably still fly in the sky.
In the end, all this is just self-deception."
