Faced with Otsutsuki Goji's teasing, the Lord of Egret City was not overly angry.
After all, he has been the overlord of one party for so many years.
I still have a bit of spirit.
What's more, what he really cares about is not the small role of Otsutsuki Goji.
Although this guy is very smart and shrewd.
But after all, his strength and age are too immature...
Just a small pawn of the royal family.
What you really need to worry about is the Japanese elder Otsutsuki in front of you!
"Elder Japanese, I need you to answer a question."
The Lord of Egret City stared at Natsume and asked very solemnly.
Natsume: "What's the problem?"
"Did she do it voluntarily?"
Natsume did not hesitate and answered very readily for a certain goddess of the underworld:
"Of course it's voluntary."
So much so.
'An Mitsuha' immediately cursed in Natsume's mind.
What is voluntary?
It was obviously done voluntarily!
If she didn't have any choice, she wouldn't want to cooperate with this despicable and shameless Otsutsuki!
Now this bastard has the nerve to say that he volunteered?
Believe it or not, I blew myself up on the spot for you to see?
Will I take you with me?
certainly.
Natsume completely turned a deaf ear to these roars and didn't take them seriously.
Even if it is voluntary, isn’t it still voluntary?
Besides, I have never done it myself.
Everything was persuaded by her ventriloquism. How could it be called coercion?
…
"Two adults, what are you talking about?"
"What her? What is it about voluntarily?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
Otsutsuki Yuji looked confused and confused.
However, both Natsume and Natsume ignored him at all.
"Voluntary?"
"Okay, let's call it a truce!"
"There is really no benefit in continuing to fight..."
The [Egret City Lord] sighed and quickly agreed to the 'cooperation' proposal.
Obviously, he is not a pedantic person.
This is the situation.
Keep fighting.
I am not sure whether this Japanese-style elder of my family will lose.
But there is a high probability that I will really burp.
He still has an unfulfilled wish and doesn't want to die here in vain.
…
Seeing that the city lord also agreed.
Otsutsuki Yuji was even more delighted.
I was secretly glad that I had saved my life.
Otherwise, these two demigods will fight again.
Make sure you burp your butt!
"that?"
"Have the two adults reached an agreement?"
Natsume snorted:
"Why, do you have any other advice?"
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
"I am truly happy for the reconciliation between the two adults."
"Cut the nonsense!"
"Tell me, how are you going to deal with the follow-up issues here?"
"How do you royal family plan to control the entire [Dragon Palace City]?"
Natsume continued to ask.
With the arrogance of the royal family, how could they allow an egret that was not under their control to continue to control the [Dragon Palace City]?
If they want to completely control [Dragon Palace City], they will definitely have other means.
Although, I don’t care about the subsequent ownership of [Dragon Palace City].
But it wouldn't be a bad thing if we could learn more about the royal family's plans.
Maybe we can take advantage of it?
"this……"
Otsutsuki Yuji obviously hesitated a little:
"I'm not too sure about the specific follow-up plans."
"It won't be long before the royal family will dispatch specialized personnel to handle the follow-up matters related to [Dragon Palace City]."
"I'm just a small role. How could your Majesty and the others tell me all their plans!"
"But don't worry, Japanese-sama."
"When the royal family sends new people, they will definitely notify me in advance."
"At that time, my lord, you will be able to follow the opened [Well of Dragon Palace] and leave here..."
"It's not just [my council] who holds the key and can open the well."
"This is part of our kindness to you."
It's said to be goodwill, but it's actually a bargaining chip.
After all, Natsume will eventually leave [Ryugu Castle].
Either complete the mission and leave by opening the wellhead on Otsutsuki Kyoshi's side.
Either rely on the royal family and leave with a free ride.
Or, choose to take the [ancestral blood vessel] path full of uncertainties...
Anyway, these are the three choices.
As for how to explain the failure of this secret mission to the [Home Council] after leaving.
That's something to consider later.
As long as I can leave [Ryuugu Castle] and return to the Otsutsuki family.
So, Natsume, who holds the identity of the Japanese-style elder of the family, is almost equivalent to having a gold medal to avoid death.
Moreover, he is still a great contributor to the [House Council].
No matter how crazy Otsutsuki Kyoshi is, he cannot harm himself in public.
If he really wants to do that.
The entire [House Council] will surely put everyone in danger and destroy itself without attack.
I guess the royal family has to laugh out of their dreams, right?
…
Although Natsume was convinced that Otsutsuki Yuji was most likely lying again.
He must know more about the royal family's secret plans.
But now is not the time to delve into it, so I can only agree temporarily:
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
"Then Mr. Japanese, do you have any other instructions?"
Otsutsuki Yuji asked for instructions in a flattering manner.
At this point, Natsume was no longer reserved.
Immediately spread out your left palm and point it directly at the opponent.
The meaning is very obvious:
Make money quickly!
Don't be stunned!
If you don’t give me money, I will beat them up!
…
…
Soon, Natsume received a large amount of 'mental compensation'.
And the other side.
A certain [Egret City Lord] whose physical and mental injuries were more serious.
But he was bitterly taking back the [Artifact Core], controlling the [Dragon Palace City], and unblocking the [Ancestral Vessel].
Soon, the high-speed chakra liquid like a torrent surged again.
At the same time, several people quickly left the [Ancestral Vessel].
Returned to [Dragon Palace City].
As for the blood vessel gap that was blasted, it is also rapidly repairing itself.
Its repair speed is even more exaggerated!
In just a few tens of seconds, more than half of the gap that was hundreds of meters long was automatically repaired.
It’s almost as fast as the Ten-Tails’ self-regeneration speed…
You know, this outer wall is as hard as a [semi-artifact]!
In just a few tens of seconds, a large area of [semi-artifact] was repaired...
Is this the self-healing ability of the true form of the ancestor of Otsutsuki?
It is also very likely that it is just an unconscious passive self-healing ability...
It’s really scary!
…
After returning to [Dragon Palace City].
The three parties also separated immediately.
[Egret City Lord], whose soul was seriously injured and almost shattered, naturally went back to retreat for cultivation as soon as possible.
As for Otsutsuki Goji, he led a group of spies placed in the city by the [Royal Family] and the [House Council] and rushed to deal with the aftermath of the war.
After all, this war caused quite a stir.
If you don't handle it properly.
It is very likely that the spies of [My Council] will discover clues and deduce the truth of the incident.
Fortunately, Otsutsuki Goji is now a high-ranking double spy for the royal family and the parliament.
The men on both sides obeyed his movement and command.
Just arrange it properly.
It's definitely enough to bury the truth and conceal the truth.
What's more, the entire upper level of [Dragon Palace City] has been razed to the ground, which is even more beneficial.
As for Natsume himself.
Then he returned to his temporary residence alone.
On the one hand: I also have to recover my exhausted soul power and sort out my current situation and future ideas.
On the other hand: I need to test the large amount of 'mental damage fee' [my royal family] compensates me!
A total of three [semi-artifacts]!
This is the real bargaining chip that Otsutsuki Yuji cruelly paid.
A 'good price' that Natsume couldn't find any reason to refuse!
…
