Natsume took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.
I have to admit, if this information is true.
Then it does matter.
If he had been really impulsive just now, he would have directly killed the [Egret City Lord] with all his strength.
maybe.
At this moment, he has become the 'Prisoner of the City Lord' of the entire [Dragon Palace City].
The torture of being imprisoned here forever is indeed terrifying!
That's almost the same as waiting to die...
certainly.
If it really comes to that.
For Natsume, it is not completely unsolvable.
at least.
On his side, he also has the 'Japanese Soul Clone' and the 'Dark Mitsuha', two semi-god-level souls.
It can be used as a passive binding carrier for the [Artifact Core].
It should be enough to get away with it.
But no matter which one is lost, it is expensive!
Losing the soul clone will not only greatly reduce one's combat power, but also lose the identity of Otsutsuki Hashiki, which is very worthless.
Without An Mitsuha, he would also lose a lot of help, and he would also lose the ability to use the sacred weapon [Yellow Spring Seal], which was also very uneconomical.
Of course, Natsume would not give it up if it was not necessary.
no way.
I had no choice but to let the [Egret City Lord] go for the time being.
Natsume didn't want to lose either of her two major helpers.
…
"First he wanted to get rid of me, and now he claimed that he was saving me..."
"Otsutsuki Yuji, what words from your mouth can I trust?"
Otsutsuki Yuji smiled slightly and quickly said to please:
"Isn't it because the plan can't keep up with the changes?"
"Japanese-sama, your great strength is the opportunity to change all this!"
"Everything is negotiable if you want!"
Natsume continued to stare coldly.
He really wanted to kill this shameless old man with a knife.
However, in order to explore the truth of this conspiracy and game, we must be patient.
"Are you really Mr. Kyoshi's undercover?"
Otsutsuki Goji: "Yes."
"Otherwise, why would the chief elder entrust me with such an important task?"
"So, you are a double undercover agent?"
"No, no, no, I have always been loyal to the royal family and His Majesty!"
"Are you a subordinate of [King Zhenruo]?"
Regarding this issue, Otsutsuki Goji admitted very readily and sincerely:
"That's right!"
"My father is Otsutsuki Otsuo, and your Majesty is my cousin."
"With such a relationship, why do you gain the great elder's trust?"
"I have betrayed many secrets and interests of the royal family."
"Very many! Very big!"
"I'm so big that even your Majesty and father can't protect me once I'm exposed..."
"In the eyes of that chief lord, based on these evidences alone, there is absolutely no possibility of my betrayal!"
Natsume: "But you still betrayed..."
Otsutsuki Yuji defended: "This is not a betrayal. My heart will always be loyal to the royal family! For your majesty, I can sacrifice everything I have!"
Natsume was speechless: "..."
…
"So, what is your purpose?"
Otsutsuki Yuji: "Of course it is to seize [Ryugu Castle]."
Natsume gradually understood.
In the beginning, I represented myself as the [House Council] faction.
Of course, it is a huge obstacle for the royal family to seize [Dragon Palace City].
That's why Otsutsuki Yuji tried his best to use the hands of [Egret City Lord] to kill him.
As a result, I found that my obstacle was too strong!
Even the Lord of Bailu City who controlled the [Artifact Core] was killed by him.
How about a spanking?
I have to replace it with a win-win strategy.
otherwise.
If you really let yourself kill the egret, take over the artifact, and take charge of [Dragon Palace City].
This [Dragon Palace City] will fall into the faction of the [House Council]...
And now I think about it.
I'm afraid that the royal family and the Lord of Bailu City have already been in secret contact, right?
No wonder when he arrived at [Dragon Palace City], the city lord had already hid in the lower bubble prison in advance.
It's no wonder that this decisive battle was obviously a temporary location, but Bailu was able to arrange multiple barriers and a large number of troops in advance.
Even now, he is still listening quietly from a distance, with no intention of fighting back.
etc……
This was obviously someone who had tipped off the news a long time ago!
In the end, I was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Being treated as one of the pawns in the game between the two sides.
This feeling is really uncomfortable!
But luckily.
My own combat power far exceeded their calculations, and I broke the situation directly with my strength!
This created the current situation that is quite beneficial to him.
Otherwise, Otsutsuki Yuji is the sixth child.
You would never lick your dog's face like this to curry favor with or win over yourself.
Sure enough, status and power.
You have to fight it out on your own!
If you blindly rely on fake status, you will be exposed sooner or later...
Fortunately, I have never relaxed my pursuit and improvement of strength.
…
"Okay, I understand the situation."
"For me, the best choice now is to kill you directly!"
"Then leave here and report all this to the chief elder..."
"Or do you have a better solution?"
Natsume waved the magic sword in his hand, the threat was very obvious.
Taken together, this is indeed the best choice at the moment.
Otsutsuki Yuji quickly encouraged:
"That's my proposal."
"Japanese-sama, join us!"
"Following that old guy Otsutsuki Kyoshi will not end well..."
"You have also seen that he has every possible plot against you and wants to kill you!"
"Is such a guy still worth following?"
"Is it still worthy of allegiance?"
Hearing this, Natsume cursed inwardly.
Loyalty ass!
I wish I could kill that old monster Otsutsuki Kyoshi!
If it weren't for maintaining the identity of a Japanese elder.
I have already scolded all the eighteen generations of Xu Shi's ancestors...
oh!
That old monster probably doesn't have many ancestors.
Eighteen generations of his descendants should be scolded...
Of course, Natsume couldn't express the anger in his heart.
Instead, he deliberately asked:
"Are you relying on your poor words to try to instigate an elder's loyalty to the parliament?"
A moment.
The smart Otsutsuki Yuji understood Natsume's hidden meaning of "you have to pay more".
So, he immediately came up with a smile on his face.
And secretly transmitted the message:
"Sir, this is the bargaining chip we can offer..."
"..."
After a few seconds.
Natsume's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat.
You know, most of the time.
The so-called loyalty is just that the chips offered are not enough...
Not to mention Natsume, who has no loyalty to Otsutsuki.
Immediately afterwards.
Otsutsuki Goji continued to strike while the iron was hot:
"Besides, we don't need you to betray any [my council's] interests."
"You just need to stop today for the sake of your future."
"Following up, just keep it a little more confidential."
"The rest does not require you to take risks again..."
"In addition, we will also deal with and close any loopholes."
"And this is just a cooperation between you and [Dragon Palace City], and it has never involved the royal family."
"What do you think?"
I have to admit that Otsutsuki Yuji's eloquence is indeed good.
Very good at deceiving people.
It's very similar to how he looked when he fooled Obito, Madara, Kaguya, etc.
It’s so nostalgic!
However, this also proves his current strength and value.
If it is not of sufficient value, it does not have the powerful strength to defeat the [Egret City Lord].
But no one will ever try to trick me...
…
Natsume deliberately hesitated for a moment, he couldn't act too hasty.
As an elder in my family, I still have to be more reserved.
Then she responded faintly:
"Is it just a deal with [Dragon Palace City]?"
"What a good excuse to deceive people's hearts!"
"However, it still depends on the opinion of the city lord?"
Hearing this, Otsutsuki Yusi was immediately overjoyed.
I could already hear the implication that Natsume was willing to cooperate.
He quickly shouted to the Lord of Egret City in the distance:
"Hey! Lord City Lord, you have been hearing this for so long."
"How does it feel?"
"Do you want to agree to join forces?"
"Why don't you express your opinion quickly?"
"If you don't give in soon, you will die!"
Lord of Bailu City: (╬￣ Pan￣)
