Looking at Salain lying on the ground and Kelis kneeling beside him, Soshyan nodded slightly and praised slowly:
"Well, ten steps is pretty good. No wonder Zargarn has to use all kinds of conspiracies to defeat you."
The pressure was relieved, but Sarain was completely exhausted and had to rely on Kelis's support to stand up.
"Originally I had an idea to let you take charge of the Shadow Hub again, but..."
Soshyan raised his hand and pointed around.
"You also know about Zargarn's situation. He almost never leaves here, so it doesn't matter whether he is alive or dead. You can just choose a microphone at will to make the Shadow Hub operate normally. Obviously this is more trouble-free."
Hearing this, Sarah closed her eyes helplessly, with a painful expression on her face.
In the end, everything she fought for turned into the moon in the water.
"Your Highness, Sarayin can do better. She has a unique affection for this place. She will work harder than anyone else. I am willing to guarantee it for her."
"Ms. Kelis, according to the agreement, the Steel Eyes Pirates are already part of the Eternal Royal Court Navy. I hope you can remember this and your changed identity, and do not interfere with matters other than your responsibilities."
"Your Highness, Sarain is also willing to join the royal court. I am sure that her soul can be given a soul stone."
Seeing the beauty who was still condescending before and with contempt in her eyes now biting her lower lip with a pleading look on her face, Suoshiyang suddenly felt a little comfortable in her heart, and even felt a small sense of revenge.
"Well...think about it alone."
After Soshiyang pondered for a moment, he raised his hand slightly.
"You all go down, take Sarain down with you, and give her a room to rest. There are some questions you need to ask Kelis alone."
Kelis and Sarain looked at each other. She saw the worry in each other's eyes, so she shook her head slightly and said softly:
"I'm fine, you go and rest first."
Soon, the hall was empty except for Soshyan on the throne and Kelis opposite him.
"Is Salain worth your efforts?"
"We made a vow never to break it. Even in the most difficult times, she did not let me down. She would rather endure the torture of her withered soul alone than do those cruel and evil deeds. Although we had argued and separated, I firmly believe in her.
The soul can be redeemed... She is so persistent in the Shadow Nexus because she... has always wanted to have a home that truly belongs to her own."
Kelis spoke very sincerely. With her cold and arrogant nature, she had never been so humble before, but now she tried hard to use her own words to move this ape that she had once despised - and he was the most violent one among them, well-informed.
She saw early on that there was only one possibility for a human being with such a physique.
Astartes.
However, in the face of her "true feelings", Soshyan just smiled indifferently.
"Regarding her reputation, I asked people from the original Shadowthorn Cabal. Their evaluations are very polarized. Some people think that Salain is a crazy woman, while others say that she has special qualities that are rare compared to other consuls.
Tolerant, but without exception, few would say she was cruel, by Comorian standards...but her erratic temper is a ticking time bomb, as I'm sure you know better than anyone."
"She is already working hard to learn to restrain herself. These failures have taught her enough lessons. I hope His Highness will give her another chance."
"Chance..."
Soshiyang raised his head slightly, and then said slowly:
"Then can you guarantee that if you let her manage the Shadow Hub, nothing will go wrong? If you let her stay here, won't Victor or others in Commorragh notice it? If you let her regain her power,
, won’t she take revenge on those who betrayed and hurt her? Especially since there are many people in the Split Claw conspiracy who were once her subordinates. If she is allowed to take the position, will these people feel that their lives are threatened and turn around?
And choose to defect?"
Kelis could not answer any of Soshyan's series of questions. She even knew in her heart that what the other party said was right. With Sarah's character of revenge, those "old subordinates" in the past must have been her first
The target of revenge, and this act is bound to cause turmoil in the Shadow Nexus.
"What I need is the stability of the Shadow Hub. She can't provide it, and may even become a saboteur. In fact, if it weren't for your sake, the commander of the fleet, Giulio Pula Xingshuai, would have executed her at that time.
Except for you, probably no one will feel sorry for this."
Seeing that Kelis was about to defend himself, Soshyan raised his hand to interrupt him, then raised his head and stared at the dome in the hall that was filled with gems and the statue of Kane.
"Do you know about this Soul Reaver? You should know, right?"
"Back to Your Highness, this is the killing boat belonging to Kane's followers. It is a kind of ancient empire... the sacrificial ship. When there is a large-scale war in the galaxy, it will sail out from the Temple of Kane.
Go to the battlefield and worship Kane with killing and death. This ship has the unique ability to absorb the power of death, and can release the energy through the 'Kain's Roar'. This weapon can instantly plunge the life of a world into complete violence.
Hitting and attacking everything in sight, Zargarn found a damaged Killing Ship through the Stryxis and transformed it into an energy source that supplied the tower."
"In other words, it belongs to the Temple of Kane... No wonder, no wonder."
Then Soshyan pointed to the mask on his face.
"You must be curious why Gu is wearing this, because this is the reason why Zargarn doesn't go out. This ship is carrying it."
As he spoke, he took off his mask and revealed his true face.
Kelis was slightly startled when she saw this, then frowned, but immediately regained her composure, but her disgust at that moment had already been captured by Soshyan.
"Anyway, since you have joined the royal court, Sarain, who is related to you, can also get some preferential treatment. If she is willing to embrace the soul stone and change her evil ways, Nagu will arrange a position for her in the Phoenix Army. Her temper
It’s very bad, but her combat ability is pretty good. It’s just that the Shadow Hub is related to the future royal court’s grand strategy, and there’s no room for error... so she’s not suitable to stay here.”
"But Your Highness, after all, she developed this place little by little..."
"You are wrong. She is just the occupier. This planet originally belonged to humans. I believe you should know it. You can see it even with a glance. In other words, if we talk about the legal owner, then Gu has the right to speak.
, your reasons cannot convince me, I have already decided this matter."
"Then...how can I convince His Highness?"
Soshyan didn't say anything, he just looked at her quietly with his fist on his chin on the throne.
For a moment, Kelis stepped forward, and his high heels made a crisp sound on the floor.
Walking up to Soshiyang with elegant steps, the beautiful pirate queen pursed her lips. After struggling for a moment, she slowly bent down...
