The gods can tolerate dictatorship, the existence of the Black Emperor, and even Eluma's disrespect for the gods.
However, they couldn't tolerate it. Their chess pieces were shrouded in fog, but they couldn't see anything.
This explains a lot.
"I don't care about the change of kingship, I don't care about dictatorship, I don't even care about my provocation to them."
Thinking of the gaze she felt from the gods during the Black Mist Coup, Eluma's tone was a little solemn, "I used the authority of the Black Emperor in that meeting, but there was no response from the gods. Until I used those skin care products I handed it over to the Drizzle Army, and the twelve moments of the gods directly warned me.”
Hearing this, a hint of shock flashed across Herining's old face, but what followed was a relief that seemed to have been expected.
"I might have figured it out a long time ago."
Clenching his hand and slowly loosening it, Herinen seemed to see his ten-year-old daughter put her hand on the back of his hand when his wife left that day, her eyes full of tears, but she still wanted to comfort him. He smiled bitterly, as if he was mocking himself, and his voice was trembling.
"It's just that I don't dare."
He still remembered the eldest prince Evan's calm expression as always when the news of his daughter's death was placed on the table in his office. He could also hear his second son Lorca roaring wildly and in disbelief. At that moment, he felt like he was separated from the world, his eyes were in a trance, and everything was false.
Then he accepted everything calmly. He picked up the report and pressed his seal. He didn't force his laughter, nor did he act irrationally. He finished his day's work as usual. When he returned home, he found that the person who always gave him hot water and towels in disgust was no longer there. The person who ate and didn't like it all day long because of his bad teeth was gone. There are no more people to eat. The shelf where the silver armor was originally placed was empty, just like this home.
Later, Herining found Eluma and Zhou Li. He wanted to know something, but he couldn't tell it. Until the end, Eluma, who noticed Herinin's feelings in the boring pleasantries, revealed that Tiya was ambushed and died. There should have been many people in her team, and the other party should not have noticed, but in the end, it should have been These two words became despair.
In fact, at that time, Herining noticed the strangeness through Eluma and Zhou Li's descriptions. A plan that encountered various obstacles from the beginning, and was eventually discovered by the enemy in an unpredictable way, was a "mistake" in itself. And there is only one kind of person who can make such a mistake.
At any time, you can participate in the twelve moments of the team.
"what should we do?"
Herinen figured it all out, or rather, he accepted what he had already figured out. He looked at Eluma and asked calmly: "How on earth should we fight against them."
Whether it was Eluma or Mr. Muqi on the side, they all saw that Herinen had figured everything out. After Du Zainan was silent, Mr. Muqi took over the words and answered:
"Three Eastern Courts."
"Three Eastern Courts?"
Helinen was stunned. He did not expect that he would get this answer.
"Do you know where I got this rune from?"
Stretching out his hand, the rune that obscured the god's sight and hearing slowly released energy. Looking at his old friend in front of him, Mr. Muqi did not show off, but said bluntly: "This rune was given to me by Ying Ji, the master of the Third Eastern Courtyard. He did not tell me about this rune at the time. What is the role of the rune? He just told me that if one day I know the fact that subverts everything, this rune will have its own role."
"So, you knew the truth a long time ago, huh?"
Helinen looked at the rune in Mr. Muqi's hand with complicated eyes, "Will it be the way for us to defeat them?"
"I guess not."
Shaking his head, Eluma said calmly: "Their plans for thousands of years, countless plans to overthrow and repeat themselves, and deep-rooted "seeds", I think unless we have a talisman that can truly destroy everything." Wen, otherwise, it is impossible for the gods to be shaken by a rune. They warned me, not because of fear, but because of disgust that something would happen."
"Huh~"
Helinen breathed a long sigh of relief, then he tapped his chest gently, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "You are going to the Third Eastern Courtyard, right?"
"It's not us, it's Eluma alone."
Mr. Muqi paused and added: "In other words, she went with Zhou Li."
"Can it be done?"
Frowning, Herinen said worriedly: "It's not like you don't know the attitude of the gods. Once Eluma leaves the surveillance fortress, I'm afraid..."
As early as the break with Eluma five years ago, Eluma has never stepped out of the surveillance fortress, even if it would make others have a worse impression of her and make others think that she is a complete dictator. Tyrant, hiding in his castle and controlling everything. But only a few people knew that what Eluma did was the right thing to do.
There was never a shortage of malice toward her.
On the surface, Twelve Moments has been accusing Eluma and refuting Eluma, and has never had a direct conflict with Eluma. But only a few people know that Eluma has been assassinated no less than fifteen times. These fifteen assassinations became more and more difficult to prevent, but in the end, Eluma managed to survive them all. Although these assassins had nothing to do with the Twelve Hours, and there were no assassins, they were just inexplicable natural disasters, but Eluma knew that these were all malicious intentions from above.
Helinen was not a fool. The moment he accepted the reality, he connected many things that he had been unable to figure out before and easily got the truth of the matter. Therefore, it was easy for him to guess who carried out those assassinations against Eluma.
As a surveillance fortress built by Elma herself, it is fitting that this building can be said to be impregnable. Whether it is the mithril stone powder technology used in the construction or the various runes engraved in the building, Eluma herself has personally debugged it. Therefore, this fortress that has been modified twice is not only effective against the Demon King, but in a sense, it has a powerful effect on any force other than humans.
"If I leave the surveillance fortress, I might be ambushed, and I might die a violent death."
Raising her head and looking at the old man in front of her, Eluma showed a faint smile, and then said softly: "But if I stay here, I will be ignoring the end of everything and waiting for the cruel ending. War is cruel, This is especially true in the fight with the gods. If I can't do it, it proves that I will definitely fail. But if I do it..."
"That proves that gods are never the incarnation of laws, but blood leeches attached to laws."
Herinen was silent. As someone who thought he knew Eluma relatively well, it was the first time that he saw such determination from this girl that he had never seen before. It was a calm depth, like the darkest whirlpool of the ocean, silent and deadly.
"Tariq will fully cooperate with all your actions."
Herinen is always like this, and the promise he gives is the hardest rock, "Eluma, since the gods have no good intentions towards humans."
"Then we don't need to compromise."
The Medal of the Protector, symbolizing the highest status, appeared in Eluma's hand. Staring at the strong and mysterious girl in front of him, Herinen placed all his trust in her. He slowly opened his mouth and said as Lord Tariq: "From now on, Eluma, you will become Tariq's Lord Protector. This is Tariq's secret tradition for hundreds of years. Those who bear the emblem shall enjoy the same rights as the king.”
"I accept."
The coat of arms of the Lord Protector shone brightly in the candlelight. She turned her head and looked at the sleeping young man beside her. Eluma said calmly: "I will bring him back here as the Lord Protector."
The black fog... began to disperse.
On December 2, War Era 15, the dictatorial tyrant Black Emperor Eluma dispatched all elite legions for the Northern Expedition. Moment Twelve was extremely dissatisfied with this, and issued a stern warning to Eluma on the grounds that "too much war will cause trauma to humans." Twelve Moments stated that if Eluma continues to be obsessed with it, they will take necessary measures when necessary.
Eluma replied:
That makes no sense.
On December 4, War Era 15, the United Guards attacked at the twelfth hour, targeting the elite corps.
Driving among the steep mountains of Tariq, Eluma, who was driving a magic car, lifted up her sunglasses and then clenched the steering wheel with both hands, a touch of sadness appearing on her beautiful cheeks.
From the Watch Fortress to the Three Eastern Courts, one must pass through the territory of Magnum. But the problem is that since Magnum III returned to his country a few years ago to rectify the resistance, an inexplicable attack caused Magnum III to disappear from the eyes of the world. After a ridiculous election, Magnum IV came to power and Magnum III's name completely disappeared from the eyes of the world.
However, the moment Eluma and Zhou Li learned about the disappearance, they understood that something unexpected had happened to Magnum III. As the staunch Eluma faction among the four monarchs, Magnum III has always been the most loyal dog of the gods and the most planned rebel. Of course, compared to Muqi and Herinen, the country of Magnum still relies too heavily on gods. Therefore, Magnum III finally disappeared into his own country without a trace.
Eluma and Zhou Li also wanted to find this old man who was decisive and ruthless, but also had a very broad vision. But under the control of Twelve Hours, Magnum's rejection of Eluma and Zhou Li increased to an astonishing level, and Eluma and Zhou Li even became Magnum's most wanted criminals.
Now, Eluma must pass through this country that is extremely unfriendly to her. And also going to their ports. The port is full of ships with Muqi and Tariq, but the problem is that entering the port itself is a difficulty. Eluma has the ability to break in directly, but the problem is that she is still bringing a sleeping Zhou Li with her. Once disturbed, it will be difficult for her to leave here intact with Zhou Li.
Therefore, Herinen and Mr. Muqi found a channel for Eluma. The owner of this channel is a chamber of commerce called "Zisha Chamber of Commerce". Eluma heard from Mr. Muqi that this chamber of commerce had been working closely with Twelve Quarters before, and their president also respected Twelve Quarters. But suddenly one day, the president of this chamber of commerce found Mr. Muqi and wanted to cooperate with him. The reason was that he did not believe in God, that's all.
"It's an honor to meet you."
Bowing slightly, the purple-haired girl's face was filled with indifference, and her tone and etiquette were just right. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor, please move my carriage with you and the brave man. I am the representative of Magnum's Chamber of Commerce, and no one will inspect my carriage." , trouble."
"I'm the one troubling you."
Eluma took a look at the girl in front of her without leaving any trace. She had purple hair, golden eyes, a beautiful and lovely face, and an expression as lifeless as a porcelain doll. She found that the girl in front of her seemed to have only obsession, without any heart or emotion.
But she didn't ask any more questions, after all, time was running out now. Since she was able to gain Mr. Muqi's trust, Eluma also chose to trust him. After all, although Eluma can smell lies, she cannot read people's thoughts at a glance like Mr. Muqi.
After placing the crystal coffin containing Zhou Li on Ah Zi's carriage, Eluma also entered the carriage and began to wait quietly.
After a while, the carriage started slowly. At this time, a girl named Lin Zi also entered the carriage. Looking at the Black Emperor in front of him, Lin Zi opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
"Don't say names."
Eluma shook her head and said, "As long as you don't call her by name, they won't be able to hear you."
"Do you want to save the brave man?"
It seemed that when talking about brave men, Lin Zi's lifeless cheeks became a little more emotional. Eluma was stunned for a moment. In her impression, she and Zhou Li had never met Lin Zi. But she didn't think too much, nodded, and said, "Well, I want to save him."
"A broken soul...can it really be cured?"
Lin Zi looked at Eluma, nervous emotions appearing in her delicate golden eyes. Eluma was silent for a moment, shook her head, and said softly: "Zhou Li's soul... is not broken, it is just divided into several complete parts, so it can be healed."
When Lin Zi heard this, her beautiful eyes were full of loneliness. But she didn't vent her emotions. She just nodded and whispered, "Thank you for your answer."
"It doesn't matter."
Eluma subconsciously reached out and touched the other person's hair. She could feel the emotions in the other person's heart, just like when she lost Tia, despair, sadness, and unconditional trust in any possible opportunity.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Just when Lin Zi was about to say something, the carriage was suddenly affected by a violent impact. After a miserable howl, overwhelming boulders smashed into the rickety carriage.
