Success came from hard work that ordinary people didn't know. Many knew that he lacked too many things to be able to reach where he was today. That extraordinary strength wasn't obtained through training step by step. It could even be said that his strength, in a sense, came from the figure in the sky.
Cridir.
The leader of the Black Dragon race. His status was on par with Evelyn and Hertz. Many could never have imagined that he would become the ruler of the Abyss Continent!
What exactly was the reason that had brought him to this stage?
The illusion still existed. Looking at Nerios's childhood, many felt a deep sense of helplessness. He had suffered countless hardships and narrowly escaped death countless times. He also had an incalculable amount of time and energy to learn. The reason why Nerios was able to go further than a small portion of the people in this world was not just because of his talent and intelligence.
"Rules. From the moment I was born, he didn't tell me how to change the rules. The only thought he instilled in me was that there are no rules in this world. Everything is just a restriction that mortals put on themselves."
This sentence seemed to enlighten him.
The illusion disappeared. Many looked at the women around him blankly and blinked. It seemed that no one noticed his strange behavior. Elder Sandinaran and Madam Vasaki were discussing the situation of the frontline troops. Pandora, on the other hand, was looking out of the window with interest as if she was enjoying the warm and humid weather.
Countless scenes flashed by in the blink of an eye. Everything that they had just experienced was like a dream. It was as if their minds had traveled to another space in a second. Many of them seemed to have gained a new understanding of the word 'domain' for no reason.
The Wall of Solameia was the first barrier of the human world against the army of the Abyss. From a strategic point of view, it seemed that it would be conquered sooner or later. This was not a difficult thing to imagine. In history, no city wall could become an impregnable fortress. Even Sirius, which was once known as the 'City of Invincibility', had changed its regime twice in a year. The city wall was completely useless like a wooden fence. This already showed some problems.
Should they take the initiative to attack?
Many of them had thought about this problem, but the consequences of attacking recklessly were obvious. As top-tier champions, many of them naturally understood that they could do more than ordinary soldiers. After staring at the Solameia Wall in the distance for a long time, many of them pulled their thoughts back to the present.
"What are you guys discussing?"
Many people looked at the women in front of them. They did not seem to be nervous about the upcoming battle at all. At this moment, Madam Vasaki was looking at the tarot cards curiously, listening to Sandinalan explain the meaning of the cards. Pandora, on the other hand, was listening casually at the side. Although the attitudes of the two sisters were different, they had an indescribable charm.
"What?
Are you going to make a decision? "
Sandinalan stopped her explanation and turned around to look at Duo Duo. She didn't seem to care at all. "Tell us, do you want us to rush up and throw a few Forbidden Spells?"
Madam Vasaki and Pandora laughed uncontrollably. After a long while, Madam Vasaki sighed and spread out her hands. "I don't dare to casually command this kind of thing. It would be terrible if one day you find me displeasing to the eye and cast the spell on my head."
"Yes, let's see if Flora and Sylvia can still get out of your bed the next day …" Pandora muttered to herself. Then, she started laughing with Vasaki. Only a succubus could make a joke like that. Lady Vasaki's face was a little red.
"Ahem, let's get down to business, let's get down to business." Many put on a serious face and coughed twice. "The armies from the Abyss should not have all arrived yet, but the three Sovereigns have all arrived here ahead of time. There must be some conflict between them. Otherwise, the Abyss Continent would not have been divided into three parts. The Wall of Solameia might not be under too much pressure recently, but I want to go inside and take a look at the enemy."
"Are you going to die?
That's not a wise choice. "
Sandilan shuffled the tarot cards in her hands skillfully. Many could not help but think of the poker cards in her mind. The elder's words were as straightforward as ever.
"I won't die. It's just a little more work."
"Those guys are not easy to mess with. The dragon from last time was strong enough, but it's still not as strong as them."
Pandora's slender and tight legs were crossed. She seemed to be playing with the ends of her hair unconsciously. She lowered her eyes and muttered, "It doesn't matter if they have a conflict or not. Everyone wants a piece of Roslorian's pie."
"This continent is not enough for them to share. There will definitely be people who will fall."
Many took out a piece of parchment. The parchment was densely packed with numbers. "I did some calculations. If the Abyss Race does not send anything else and only sends half of their army, this continent will also explode."
"If there are too many of them, why don't we just kill them?
The Abyss Race is not merciful. "
Although Pandora's words were unusually cruel, it was the truth. The territory that was plundered from war would never be as gentlemanly as the ideal. Even the members of the Holy Knights would burn, kill, and loot. There was no doubt about this. There were times of light in human nature, and naturally, there would be times of darkness.
"Of course, that's true. But the more important problem is that Roslorian is not a continent that is suitable for everyone to live in. A race that prioritizes personal benefits will collapse sooner or later when the benefits are not distributed evenly. There are too few continents like the Abyss Continent that have the same environmental characteristics."
Many only stated one aspect of the truth. In fact, his purpose was to have an idea that disagreed with the Abyss Race's internal opinion on this invasion.
It was an idea that might be considered strange, or perhaps uncreative.
"What do you need us to do?"
Madam Vasaki asked. It seemed that she would never ask any other questions.
"I need … You guys to lose less money when playing cards. The maids can play for Jia Luo. But you know, they don't have much money on them."
"There are so many beauties here. Why don't you pay more?" Pandora pouted. "Stingy Lord!"
"I surrender, I surrender …"
Many raised his hands in surrender. Pandora always seemed to like to use women to make fun of him. But then again, who would believe that with so many beauties around this lord, not a single one of them had slept with him?
Ahem, of course, the answer to this kind of inference would be, "Nonsense!
With so many women obedient to him, wouldn't he have done what he should have done? "
Many was not interested in being a saint, but he was even less interested in being a stud horse.
"That's all. I'll leave immediately."
Many stood up and left his last words for this personal mission. "I've written my will a long time ago. If I don't come back, I need everyone to apologize to Nana and Flora on my behalf."
"That's enough, Becky."
Although Pandora seemed to be joking, she couldn't laugh even if she wanted to. The moment she said it, her nose felt a little sour.
Many smiled and looked at the women in the room with different expressions. Then, he turned around and walked out of the room without any extra expression.
* * *
The sky was the territory of the Giant Dragons. But to many, this territory wasn't safe.
The Abyssal Tribe occupied a large portion of Velen's territory, and they were still expanding their territory. Troops continuously poured out of the territory day and night, causing the Abyssal Army's numbers to rise steadily. At night, there would always be countless stars in the distant mountain range. It was obvious that the Abyssal Tribe's numbers had already exceeded 300,000.
Many were standing silently in the sky, far away from the Abyss army. They could barely see each other, but many still decided to walk to this unknown and dangerous region.
However, just as he was about to land on the ground, an unexpected figure appeared in his perception.
In the darkness, there was an obvious dot of light on the undulating ground behind a low slope. Many squinted his eyes and recognized that it was a bonfire.
Who could build a bonfire in this desolate wilderness?
After crossing the Solameia Wall, the terrain gradually rose, and the temperature dropped continuously. At this moment, the area was located in the central east of Velun Country, and the temperature at night was less than five degrees Celsius. Even though it was midsummer, there was still a faint smell of air at night.
Many raised his eyebrows and used his perception to lock onto the figure sitting beside the bonfire. He was shocked.
Without saying a word, he strode over.
"Long time no see, my lord."
