The Ninth City, Carlite's private residence.
The Titan, who had lived on and off for hundreds of years, rarely felt bored again. Even when the Ninth King asked him to return to his post, he did not feel so uncomfortable.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have been tougher when he refused.
As far as he knew, after the meeting, the human Marn followed Zasna to the treasure house. He heard that Zasna specially took him to see the "Chasing Sun" weapon that would be used to cooperate with humans. After observing the weapon, Zasna took Ma En to the Floating Book Island and introduced him to a lot of Titan history and knowledge.
Although when they went to these places, they were followed by heavy soldiers, and the suppression device around Ma En's neck had no intention of taking it off. Moreover, they had sealed off the area in advance so that the human would not come into contact with it. Other Titan civilians, but him being allowed to enter these places has shown that the Titans of the Ninth City really agree with this human's point of view. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Ninth King is awakened in advance.
Thinking of this, Carlite felt a little annoyed. He never thought that Ma En would successfully convince the other Titans during that "interrogation". He originally thought that the human would be easily frightened by him. After all, he was just An ordinary human being who has never seen Titan civilization.
But the result was that he was rendered speechless by the other party. He could not think of any words to refute this human being who he thought had never seen the world. In the end, he could only watch Zasna's plan succeed.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Ninth King wakes up.
Winter, winter.
"Come in." Kallet said in a low voice.
The person who opened the door and walked into the room was none other than his son Yin Luo. However, his more important identity at this time was to find and personally capture the Titan who had captured Ma En. This was why Carlite called him here. reason.
"Father." Yin Luo also knew the reason why he was called here.
Carlite did not mean to talk nonsense or cover up, and went directly to the topic and said:
"You know I don't want Zasna to wake up the Ninth King."
Yin Luo nodded and said:
"Well, because the Ninth King will probably agree to that human's proposal after he wakes up, but those humans are not worthy of our trust and rescue at all, and we shouldn't take any risks for them at all."
Yin Luo looked a little indignant when he said this. In fact, his thoughts are very common among young titans. The ninth king's attitude towards humans should be the most positive among the thirteen kings.
She often openly expresses positive views on humanity, such as claiming that humans are not as bad as most Titan books record, and objecting to war against the entire human race because of the gods.
What she said actually made sense, but when she talked too much, many young Titans became a little disgusted with her attitude towards humans. Kalet knew that Yin Luo had the same view deep down in his heart.
In fact, he once mentioned this phenomenon to the Ninth King personally, but she didn't particularly care.
The Ninth King just replied:
"This is an inevitable situation. The prejudice against humans in Titan culture is too deep-rooted. It has been deeply flowing in their blood and is affecting them subtly.
"And to put it bluntly, what I want to do will be quite harmful to them in the short term, and they can't see any long-term benefits, so they will naturally exclude helping humans.
"But in my opinion, we are not qualified to decide whether humans live or die."
Kallet did not completely agree with the Ninth King's views. Although he did not think that he was a bloodthirsty monster, he still agreed with the proposal to destroy human civilization and race.
He just felt that the Ninth King's vision was too unrealistic to realize, and the Titans could not afford to take such risks.
As a Titan, he didn't think they had any need to consider the survival of humanity. After all, he wasn't like the Ninth King who was once a human. As a "pure-blooded" Titan, he didn't care that much about the human race.
But in fact, Yin Luo was wrong. These were not the real reasons why he didn't want Zasna to awaken the Ninth King.
It was impossible for Yin Luo to figure out Carlite's real motive, because in fact, his idea was extremely simple. He just felt that waking the Ninth King in advance was too dangerous for her safety.
Awakening early means extremely serious risks. This danger does not come from the gods or the outside world, but from the remaining twelve kings. If the ninth king wakes up early for Ma En now, and wastes a lot of time traveling around for his proposal Running around.
This will cause the awakened Ninth King to be quite weak. This may not be a problem in the short term, but when the Fifth King fully awakens, the weak Ninth King will face the powerful Fifth King.
Over the years, the hatred between them has completely ceased to be the original dispute over ideas. It is also the worst relationship among the kings, so Kalete is actually very worried and afraid that the fifth king will pose a real threat to the ninth king.
The real decision for him to make was not the risk that the Titan civilization needed to take, but the Ninth King's.
However, Kallet didn’t have any intention of explaining to Yin Luo:
"Well, but the current situation is not ideal. Zasna has convinced those fools. They all think that the Ninth King will indeed be willing to wake up early to meet this Man.
"Actually, after this incident, I became somewhat suspicious of the so-called human being who accidentally entered this place. What he did here was too smooth, as if he was really a well-intentioned spy.
"I know that Zasna and the others will definitely think that I am too suspicious. We have done all the examinations related to the gods on Ma En and have also put on a suppression collar, but this is what I really think.
“It’s my job to be skeptical.
"And if we want to convince them, we have to find the problem with Ma En, then...
"Did you notice anything strange when you caught him?"
Yin Luo fell into memories for a moment, but after thinking for a long time, he just arched his nose and frowned and said:
"I didn't think of any problem. His performance at the time and his subsequent confession were completely consistent. But if I try to remember it harder, I might be able to think of some reason..."
Speaking of this, Yin Luo glanced at Carlite, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
What he meant was whether he should make up some reasons to frame Ma En.
The old Titan, who saw what Yin Luo meant, shook his head slightly:
"Forget it if you can't think of it. In fact, it's not easy to stop them now."
Even if fabricating lies can delay some time, it can't really prevent the Ninth King from awakening. The other Titans are not all fools, and this little trick can't deceive them at all.
Just when Kallet gave up the idea of stopping Zasna, there was a sudden knock on the door.
But he didn't remember having any other guests.
