Next, King Akaola and Advisor Asbylan tried to inquire about the details of the [Extremely Effective Immortality Technique] from Sha Duo, but Sha Duo ignored them on the grounds that it was the teacher's secret.
Now that the decision has been made, the matter of extending life is of course urgent. When the two sides are about to finish talking, the elf lady official who brought Xia Duo in before appears again.
But this time she brought an elf child, who looked weak, ignorant, and ignorant. Seeing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but frown secretly.
Could this be Consultant Asbylan’s parent and child?
Shado cast doubtful glances at the three elves in the reception room. This time, it was Prince Foss who came forward to explain, "The youngest child of his consultant Asbylan - Dale! I will leave it to Lord Shado next."
!”
What does it mean to leave it to me?
Chateau was very dissatisfied with Prince Foss's statement. Should he still let him cut out the heart from the chest and abdomen of the child named Dale?
Is this the image of Master Nese in the hearts of elves?
Just as Sha Duo was about to question, the elf lady officer had slowly retreated, along with Prince Foss and Advisor Asbylan.
At the same time, behind the throne where King Akora sat, a portal suddenly appeared, revealing a dark and gloomy passage.
King Akora stepped down from the throne, picked up the dull-eyed Dale, and even rubbed his head affectionately, and then said to Sha Duo:
"Lord Xia Duo, please come this way. I will give you an explanation later."
After hearing King Mian say this, Xia Duo gave up and followed him into the dark passage behind the throne.
After a brief period of darkness, there is light.
This is a secret chamber that is somewhat similar to when Shado first arrived. It is generally a place where elf mages conduct spell research, similar to the spell laboratory of Nese mages.
There are protection, concealment, confinement and other facilities inside.
After entering here, Akora Crown King first sealed the passage from which he came, then cast several spells on Dale, and then placed the elf who was completely asleep on the experimental table in the corner of the secret room.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and at this time, King Akoramian finally spoke -
"Lord Xia Duo, if I say at this moment that I don't want to live longer, would you believe me?"
"Don't want to extend your life? Why?"
Xia Duo's first thought was that the other party might be acting again, but to be honest, with the other party's king-level acting skills, he really couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
Regarding Xia Duo's doubts, King Akaola did not answer directly, but talked about another thing——
"Not long ago, the special envoy of King Cormanthor came to Akaula and presented King Elisir's idea of the final unification of Listal Forest.
"King Elisir proposed that his youngest grandson be united with one of my children, and his offspring will be the irrefutable ruler of Listal Forest. To be honest, my heart is moved!"
"this--"
For a moment, Xia Duo was speechless, but he also knew that since King Akaola said this, it meant that he had rejected Cormanso before.
Otherwise, he would really want to run away.
At the same time, King Akaola continued to speak, "But this matter cannot be decided by my heart. There is widespread opposition in the country. Do you know who has the most decisive attitude?"
"Consultant Asbylan?" Shado said a name tentatively.
Isn't it decisive enough to even abandon his own son? Sure enough, King Akaola confirmed Sha Duo's guess and said: "Uncle Asbylan raised three objections.
"One is that the basis of Cormanthor's existence is the Divine Sword Trial. Even the descendants of Mian Wang may not be able to successfully pass it. Moreover, the first generation of Mian King has existed since thousands of years ago. It is not known how long it will exist in the future. Once merged, the future
Akora may leave no trace.
"Second, Elise's attitude changes too easily. Even if he does change, will his original supporters continue to support him? If he cannot get widespread support, then the so-called 'equality and common prosperity of the five races'
', is just a slogan, if Akaola joins it, it can only be lost to the public in the end.
“Finally, it’s the opinion of the Northland Alliance, mainly Netheril and Elfaran, of course. It can be foreseen that these two parties will never allow Listal Forest to unify easily.
"In the end, I was persuaded by Uncle Asbylan and rejected Cormanso, but in fact, what Uncle Asbylan was always obsessed with was the inheritance and growth of our upper-level family. How much benefit would it bring to the people of Akola?"
Woolen cloth?
"There may still be various shortcomings in Comanso, but how can Akaula be any better? Joining Comanso may be a good way out for the people!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Duo immediately felt his scalp numb. Looking at the shimmering secret room around him, he instantly lost his previous calm attitude.
"Are you going to become Akora's vote to join Cormanso?"
The alarm bells blared in Xia Duo's heart, and the look he looked at Akora Mian King changed from doubtful to vigilant now, and he was ready to evacuate at any time.
Of course, the situation has not reached its worst yet. He still wants to hear what the other party wants to say. If he really wants to be hostile, is it possible that the villain is naturally talkative?
"So Prince Mian wants to join Comanso?" Sha Duo asked tentatively.
"Of course not, it's just based on my feelings. As the head of the Pure Gold Sun Crown family, how could I not think about the family's descendants! But -"
Having said this, Akora Crown Prince changed his subject and his eyes became sharp, "Dale is also considered my descendant, and it is impossible for me to trade his life for my own survival.
"I believe that Master Iolum must have a more advanced life-extending spell that can extend my life before next year. If not, I believe that Cormanthor will not treat my family too harshly."
Um?
Shado narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was still a dangerous light emanating from them. At this time, he not only represented himself, but also represented the Severnton Council, Netheril, and one of the five permanent members of the North.
Akora is just a small country, where does it have the confidence to threaten itself?
"Does King Mian know what he is talking about?"
"Yes, I know very well. I know this will offend the envoy and make your country dissatisfied, but this is my only choice."
King Akaola looked at death with a look that made Xia Duo angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. What else could he do? The other party was about to die, so he only tried to deal with the surrounding big countries for the sake of future generations.
Who does it mean to take refuge in someone else? What’s more, Cormanthor also has natural bonuses from the same race.
