83. People with good hearts
"Oh?" Sean's smile continued to decline, "Then please tell me what I want."
"You are here to ask about Grand Duke Asuna, right?" Roald looked at Sean and said calmly.
Sean didn't comment.
"My attitude is very simple. I always stand in the royal position." Roald said, completely ignoring the change in Sean's face. "I am the guardian of the previous kings and have the mission of protecting the stability of the Ryan Kingdom. In fact, it is not just me, including Duke Devin and many others, who have this attitude."
Sean frowned involuntarily: "Even if he was called foolish loyalty?"
"Yes." Roald nodded, then laughed, "I had made a vow before the throne that I would still be a knight."
The Knight's oath is an unbreakable ancient power. This power is as stable as the soul contract, and is something that every knight must abide by throughout his life. Just like Sean was relieved of Reina, it was because Reina had made her knight oath to Sean: she would never betray Sean and the descendants of Sean's bloodline.
Once this knight's oath is violated, the knight who takes the oath will be suppressed by the will of the world. Not to mention whether he can successfully break through the realm in the future, even the power he possesses will begin to show a decay state. Therefore, once he takes the oath, no knight will be willing to violate his oath. This is also the reason why all the lords and emperors of the Miracle Continent trust the knights so much.
Whether it is the violent Daiwen hidden in his temperament, or the other Ryan talents who were once called the pillar by Ryan VI, they were all those who made knight vows before the king. It is precisely because of this that even if they have any flaws, Ryan VI would use them without any scruples. Similarly, it is precisely because these people have never violated their oath that their strength has always been steadily rising.
Especially after annexing the Kingdom of Dabiang and seizing the country's foundation and momentum, the growth rate of these people became more obvious.
"But Asuna is your daughter..." Sean said, still trying to reverse Roald's position.
Roald shook his head: "She is my daughter. But I have more than one daughter."
This time, it was Sean's turn to remain silent.
He had heard Roald's implication: between the family and Asuna, the father undoubtedly chose the former. Although Sean could understand this approach, after all, after becoming the patriarch of a large family, the interests of the entire family group must be considered; but being able to understand does not mean that Sean can accept it. Perhaps because of a different thought, Sean felt that if his daughter had this situation, he would definitely declare war directly regardless of everything.
At this moment, Sean suddenly understood why Asuna was so determined to make Frhiz the king.
Because she really knows her father very well. If the royal family had orders passed on, then she and her father would definitely have to fight each other. This is very cruel for Asuna. After all, Roald is not only Asuna's biological father, but also her enlightenment teacher. It can be said that the relationship between their father and daughter is deeper than outsiders imagine.
Sean believed that if Roald was not the patriarch of the Evans family now, he would definitely not allow Asuna to become a prisoner.
Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but examine Roald seriously, and soon discovered the grayishness on Roald's temples. As a powerful Sanctuary Powerful Man, and a strong man who has also begun to attack the legendary realm, Roald could not have such aging phenomenon, but now there is a grayishness on his temples. This can only prove that Roald is really in a state of exhaustion.
"I understand." Sean nodded to show his understanding.
"His Royal Highness Gren is more cunning and difficult than in the phenomenon." Roald looked at Sean, and then suddenly laughed, "No one can know the truth about His Royal Highness Arlan's assassination, except for Miss Vanny. Because the battlefield was cleaned very clean, there were no clues at all, but it is certain that there were definitely many legendary strong men outbreaking battles there."
Sean's pupils suddenly shrank, and a little surprised appeared on his face: "Many legendary powerhouses?...Vanni, Elizabeth, Lauren. Isn't there only these three in the Kingdom of Ryan? If Elizabeth is not counted, the legendary powerhouses who can be called the pillars of the Kingdom of Ryan are only the Vow Knight Lauren, who is beside His Highness Adams, and His Highness Arlan, who is the elf sword master. "
"Didn't I just say it? His Highness Gren is very cunning." Roald smiled slightly, "With knowing that his brother and sisters are supported by legendary powerhouses, what gave him so much confidence to participate in this dangerous throne competition game?... He had gathered a large number of people in the bad blood plan back then. How do you ensure that there are no people with outstanding talents and potential among these people?"
When Sean heard Roald's words, his first reaction was that it was impossible.
If he didn't know the so-called concept of "national aura", then he might believe it. But since he got the statement about this concept from Levi, Sean knew one thing very clearly: even if he annexed a country, it would not be possible to fully acquire the country's foundation in a short period of time. Instead, it would take a relatively slow development period before gradually reflecting the corresponding foundation and level of a major country.
After Ryan annexed Dabiang, he developed for eight years before he gained his current power and strength.
However, Dabiang's Qi was not completely seized by Ryan's country, but was divided into three parts, and was seized by the Duchy of Void, the Kingdom of Ryan, and the Principal of Garrod. Although Qi was illusory and difficult to define and accurately calculate, the Kingdom of Ryan's directly possessed two legendary powerhouses and almost reached a relative development limit, not to mention that Dabiang's royal remnants were not completely eliminated.
unless……
"Grand conquered the remnants of Dabiang's royal family?" Sean asked tentatively.
Roald smiled and said nothing.
"So, Gren has at least two under his command... no, they are three legendary strong men." Sean suddenly found that his thoughts began to become clear, and many previously slightly vague places have gradually become clearer. "Since Black Hawk is not dead, he must be a legendary strong man now. That's why he can accept all the underground industries of Marquis Floris, because those guys are a group of unruly people, and they only believe in and follow the strong man."
"The other ones are the remnants of the Kingdom of Dabiang... They surrendered to Green, so they gave them the last bit of royal aura to Green. This is why Green's growth rate can surpass other royal members. Combined with the growth and development of the Kingdom of Ryan over the years, then Green must have a legendary strong man under his command, and there must be a legendary strong man in the remnants of the Kingdom of Dabiang, otherwise he would not even have the confidence to talk to Green."
"So... Sagi is very dangerous now!"
Roald was stunned for a moment. A trace of splendor flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that he could only mention one sentence to make Sean think of so many things, and even said something he had not considered before. Originally, Roald was more inclined to the saying that "Sean only relied on his followers and that damn luck to develop." But now after actually contacting him, Roald realized that this was not a lucky luck at all.
"Then I have one last question," Sean said.
"Speaking."
"Why tell me this?" asked Sean. "Since you are a royalist, you should know what I'm going to do next."
"I'm just loyal to the Ryan royal family." Roald replied with a smile, "Now. Are we still an ally?"
Sean was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of Roald's words. He stood up and bowed, not as the Grand Duke of the Void, but as the Grand Duke of the Void, but as the Connery: "I understand... I originally thought that if this conversation failed, I would probably have to borrow something from you, Lord Duke. Now it seems that I don't need it anymore, I know what to do."
Roald smiled and touched his head: "It seems that my head is saved."
"Then, I'll say goodbye first." Sean stood up straight with a smile.
Tung Ramo also appeared next to Sean. It seemed that he had never left. Even Roald didn't know when Tung Ramo came back. However, this time, the exaggerated giant wolf did not follow Tung Ramo, and the two of them quickly left the room.
Roald stood up and walked to the window and stared at the view outside.
The entire mansion still seemed calm and there was no turmoil, let alone the alarm. Not to mention the sound of an alarm. Not to mention the incoming and outgoing as if no one was left, the only thing Tungramo had just gone to find his son was not even a sirens, and Roald felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
However, after this sense of powerlessness, it was a fire of struggle that was rekindled. Roald had never had a moment of eagerness to attack the legend as he is now: "This old man is not simple either. I'm afraid he is either the peak of the legend or the super strong... In other words, in addition to the goddess who can surrender and the powerful Valkyrie, the Duchy of Void now has three super strong people. No wonder he dares to challenge the system of the noble code and wants to establish the eighth empire."
Just as Roald finished his feelings, the door was suddenly knocked open, and then an alarm sounded from the entire mansion. So, like a running gear, the operation driven by the mansion also prompted the entire fortress to quickly enter a state of martial law. Patrol teams immediately rushed to the posts that had been prescribed, and some ordinary merchants and civilians in the fortress also returned to their homes in sequence and closed the door.
The entire Saint-DeRoens Fortress completely showed a pair of steel fangs at this moment.
Athosg.g.Evans, the eldest son of Roald.g.Evans rushed in with several guards.
But at this moment, there was no one in the room except Roald.
"Sir, Father!" Athos spoke.
"Close the alarm." Roald did not turn his head, but judging from the aura emitted by Atos, he knew that his son had indeed been taught a lesson, but the other party did show mercy and did not hurt Atos's foundation.
"Where is that traitor?" Athos seemed to be a little reluctant.
"You can't even beat a guard of the Great Duke of Void. Do you still want to deal with the Great Duke of Void?" Roald finally got angry. When he turned around, the double majesty of the superior and the strong man on him completely burst out. "I want to start thinking about whether it is appropriate to take over as the patriarch of the Ivans family."
"Sir, Father!" Athos's face changed slightly.
Roald ignored Athos, but waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave and turn off the alarm. At this time, the guards finally knew what was going on here. But they could only accept this fact silently in silence. The guards all knew that they had seriously neglected their duties and they didn't even see the enemy. If this was an assassination incident...
All the guards dared not continue to imagine, and a sense of shame surrounds them.
Of course there is more. There is also a sense of powerlessness.
After all the guards left, Roald looked at his eldest son and said in a deep voice: "You always feel that you are very talented. So what do you think after seeing this Void Lord who is not even older than you today?"
Athos may be a little proud, but it does not mean that he is really a stupid person. After calming down at this moment, he naturally soon discovered many things. If he had not observed it as a hostile attitude, even Athos had to admit that Sean was much stronger than him. Not to mention the problem of followers, just the personal strength of both sides. There is a huge gap. Now he is still attacking the Holy Realm, but Sean is already a strong man who has half his foot in the upper Holy Realm.
“Very strong.”
"It's not just about being strong in personal strength." Roald shook his head, "He is unwilling to be the one who breaks the rules."
"Breaking the rules?" Athos didn't understand, "Has he had broken many rules?"
"It is the rule of the new era." Roald looked at Athos with a little disappointment in his eyes. "In the past, there was a suppression of the peaceful parliament, no country dared to launch a war at will. At least it had to occupy an absolute justice posture before it could launch a war. Even this war must be announced. Full preparation and buffering are given to the enemy country, especially the stronger the country is, the more restrictions it will be."
"But now... the Peace Parliament has been destroyed, and there is no more anything on the heads of the Seven Empires that can make them worry about, and even those stronger kingdoms that are qualified to attack the imperial sequence. There will be no more fear. So, what do you think the situation on the entire continent will become under such circumstances?"
"Chaos." Athos suddenly realized, "The age of chaos is coming again..."
"Yes, the age of chaos is coming again." Roald shook his head, "Which country has the power is strong enough. Then which country has more say. In this case, the seven empires, even those great kingdoms that can compete with the seven empires, have a very advantage. No other reason, just because they have super strong people, they are already above other countries."
"In the era when the Peace Parliament still exists, super strong people cannot take action at will. They are more of a deterrent force." Athos murmured, "But now... a country with a super strong side has an absolutely invincible overwhelming advantage in the country without a super strong side. You only need to let the super strong go, and you don't even need to fight a war... This completely changes the current form of war!"
"Yes, so Sean is also called the person who has created a new era by many countries." Roald nodded, "and we all know that Sean has at least two followers of super strong men under his command. As long as he sends out the super strong men, do you think the Ryan Kingdom can still be stopped?"
Athos remained silent.
The answer is not required for his answer, and he can know that as long as the super strong man takes action directly, no one can stop it. And fundamentally eliminate the causes of war, a war cannot be fought. Especially in the world where the Peace Parliament has lost its peaceful parliament to the point where the war has even been made clear to the point where there is no need for excuses. As long as you have enough interests, it will have the value of starting a war.
"But, why..."
"Because he doesn't want to be the first person to break the rules." Roald knew what his son wanted to ask, "Once this precedent is opened, the whole world will return to the chaotic era again. This will damage the origin of the entire Miracle Continent very seriously... I think you should know that the attacks of legendary strong men and even super strong men will fundamentally directly destroy the terrain and resources, right? So even Grand Duke Sean, he doesn't want to destroy this rule when it is not necessary."
"Perhaps, in his opinion, war is just a means to achieve one goal. In order to achieve one goal, he will adopt the means of war. But he will never be scruples or use any means. So if it were not necessary, he would not let the super strong enter the battlefield... Similarly, in the conversation just now, I also discovered that he essentially hopes to maintain the country's internal independence."
"Isn't this a contradiction..." Athos couldn't understand Sean's approach.
In fact, it is not just Athos, no one in this world can understand Sean's approach and meaning.
Because the nature of facts is completely different from what these people imagine.
Sean is the son of the plane.
War is indeed just a means of his, but it is not the ultimate goal. His real ultimate goal is to protect the plane origin of this world from being excessively plundered and destroyed. For this reason, he needs a position and background that can give him enough voice.
Of course, Sean doesn't mind using the super strong if necessary.
He is not the kind of pedantic and foolish person.
But at the moment, he really can't draw out the super strong man. And Asuna is still in Gren's hands. Sean cannot guarantee that Gren will not be defeated, so before Asuna is safe, Sean doesn't mind spending more time solving the problem.
"Tungramo, go back and tell William, just say that there is a big trouble in the Principality of Garolds, and then take my token to find Ximi to help her resolve the civil strife in the Principality of Garolds." After leaving the Fortress of Saint-DeRoynes, Sean spoke to Tungramo, "Then maintain a military state of confrontation with the Kingdom of Ryan, and do not launch an attack for the time being. At the same time, support the Principality of Garolds immediately."
"What about you?" Tungramo took the token given by Sean and said hesitantly, "If I'm not by your side..."
"It's okay." Sean said softly, "Your strength is too strong. You go anywhere like a light, and you can't hide the investigation of those who are interested. Now I don't want to reveal your identity and strength, so it's easier for me to act alone. Especially... I have to find Elizabeth and the others first than the guys in the Ryan Kingdom. Besides, if I really have something urgent, I will definitely contact you. Your portal is not a decoration."
Hearing Sean say this, Tungramo showed hesitation for a moment before nodding: "Okay... Then, I'll leave the tooth of nothingness to you."
As Tungramo's words fell, the black and silver giant wolf that Roald had seen before stepped out of the air.
The giant wolf stood at about two meters high, with a pure body of more than three meters long, and the wolf's tail was nearly meter long. The giant wolf was silver-white all over, but its back was black and its head cover was black, but it showed a hard structure similar to crystals. In addition, there was a circle of black temple hair on the four feet, which seemed to be stepping on black flames. The eyes were purple-red, with two white saber teeth exposed, and the tail was mixed with black silver. It looked furry but in fact it was all sharp fluffy like a needle.
This special monster has combat power that is not weaker than the legendary strong man. It can freely shuttle through shadow planes, chaotic planes and normal material planes.
During the shuttle, it is immune to all forms of attack methods, and at the same time it can avoid the perception ability below the legend. The reason why Sean and Turramo entered the St. De Roens Fortress as if they were in a no-man state is that the shadow barrier created by the tooth of nothing protects the direct shuttle. Of course, this is also because the St. De Roens Fortress is not as powerful as the strongest person or special props that can be discovered by the structure of the Novel Tooth of Novel Tooth.
Sean reached out and patted the head of the Void Teeth, and smiled, "Please give me more advice during this period."
The tooth of nothingness rubbed Sean with his head.
"It seems that this guy likes you very much." Tungramo smiled, "I'll be relieved if I do this." (To be continued.)
ps: I am still busy and I am not idle. The chapter you see at this moment was coded from other places. I was originally thinking that the God of Dharma has entered the fine products and wanted to celebrate it, but the result... I sighed. Let me talk about it when it is mid-month or late in the month.
Chapter completed!
