Chapter 2513 The Thread Puller
Chapter 2513 The Thread Puller
"Ostaz Per Sindragos."
The Blood Lion Emperor narrowed his eyes and softly repeated the second name given by the other party. After pondering to no avail, he turned to look at his sister: "Eliza..."
"no impression."
From the beginning, the Second Princess of Griffin, who was quite knowledgeable in various subjects, had not felt the slightest fear of the arrival of this uninvited guest. She shook her head and said with an interested smile, "But the surname Sindaregos does not seem to belong to humans."
The middle-aged man who called himself Ostaz nodded slightly and answered concisely: "That's right."
"I see. Let me make another guess..."
Elisa leaned on Chivat, stroking her chin and said thoughtfully: "Gos...Gosa...Well, if the record I accidentally saw that year is correct, then as the owner of this ancient surname, you are not a male azure dragon over 5,000 years old, right?"
To be honest, Eliza's attitude seemed very respectful, but her choice of words was very offensive. After all, as highly intelligent creatures, although the words "bar" and "male" were not insults, they were definitely not polite.
However, as the object of Eliza's deliberate offense, this man, who had long been noticed by the Logan siblings as the 'Speaker of the Silver Wing Alliance', did not seem to mind and still maintained the same friendly attitude as before.
"I've heard that Her Highness Eliza is knowledgeable and intelligent. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed extraordinary."
Ostaz smiled slightly, then gracefully sat down on the spacious, comfortable, velvet-cushioned Mithril Rune Chair that appeared behind him in the blink of an eye. He then raised his hand and greeted the two siblings opposite him: "You two, let's sit down and talk."
So, before Chivat and Eliza could react, they had already sat on the ebony sofa in front of Ostaz, which exuded a faint fragrance, and suddenly found that there was a floating table filled with fruits, coffee and exquisite snacks between the two sides.
In addition, there are two lighting orbs emitting soft blue light, an elemental puppet made entirely of azure water, playing Griffin's famous folk song "The Garden of the Young Creatures", and several birds chirping to harmonize with the puppet. Instead of being noisy, they are even the finishing touch. Although still made of elements, they are lifelike and indistinguishable from the real thing.
"Ah."
Eliza smiled lightly, picked up a piece of dessert and put it into her mouth. She chewed it slowly and licked her fingers. Then she poked her brother gently and said teasingly, "Brother, take a good look at us. We are members of the imperial family that dominates one side, but we don't even have the romance of living like our elders."
Chiwetel did not cooperate with his sister's jokes, but just looked calmly at the unfathomable "Speaker" in front of him: "Let's talk business."
"Too rigid will break easily, Your Majesty Chiwat. In fact, in many cases, you can make your life easier instead of devoting everything to the legacy of the previous dynasty that has penetrated deep into your bones."
Ostaz sighed, then shook his head and laughed, "Sorry, sorry, I know you understand these principles better than anyone else, but maybe people like to talk too much when they get old. It was okay when I played the role of Speaker Basta all these years, but once I picked up the name Ostaz again, I became a little nagging."
"It doesn't matter."
Chiwete said casually that he didn't care, and smiled a smile that made him look a little more human. "I haven't heard this kind of 'nagging' for many years. It's a pity that being born as a king means shouldering the responsibility of a king. If I want to protect my empire, being both strong and gentle is obviously not a standard answer. Otherwise, I would choose to give way to Eliza and become a general or a musician or something."
Ostaz laughed dumbly and sighed, "Although I did hear about your extraordinary talent in art thirty years ago, I had never thought of hearing the Blood Lion Emperor admit that he once aspired to be a 'musician' before I decided to disturb you. To be honest, if the friends around Speaker Basta heard it, they would definitely not believe it."
"I don't mind letting this little thing become a topic of conversation between you and your friends after dinner."
Chivat raised his hand to politely refuse the coffee brought by another elemental puppet, and happily accepted it after the latter replaced it with the Holy Domain Specialty [Fire Burn]. After taking a sip of the spicy alcoholic drink, he repeated again: "Let's talk business."
"it is good."
Ostaz nodded, and then changed into a posture that allowed him to chat for a long time without getting tired, and slumped in his chair. "You can ask questions first. Considering the limited time, please ask briefly, and I will answer briefly."
"who are you?"
"Basta, the chairman of the Silver Wing Alliance, and Ostaz, the ancient dragon."
"What is an ancient dragon?"
"It is a giant dragon that has lived far longer than the average lifespan of its kind, but has not yet died of natural causes."
"Are you strong?"
"Very strong."
"How strong?"
"If your General Reinhardt of Griffin is ranked in the middle of the legend, then I am one of the top ones."
"Do you have any other identities?"
"Henry Wentworth, Spencer Pitt, Robert Eddington, Clement Macmillan..."
"Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, these names..."
"Yes, I am the founder of the Silver Wing Alliance, and I am also the Speaker of the Silver Wing Alliance, every Speaker."
"what is your purpose?"
"This question is too vague, Your Majesty Chiwat."
"What was your original intention in establishing the Silver Wing Alliance?"
"I don't like Dynasty of the Sun."
"What do you mean?"
"Especially after the destruction of the Sun Dynasty, it felt like a disgusting octopus that suddenly turned into a large number of tentacles in the gutter, soft, weak, slippery and disgusting."
"Griffin is not the Suns Dynasty."
"But if there is no check and balance, Griffin will become the second Suns Dynasty and gradually move towards a similar end."
"Okay, then why did you abandon your identity as 'Speaker' and come here alone?"
"Practice and implement the will of the great master in your own way."
"What is the Great Lord?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so shallow that I don't have the confidence to explain this to you."
"Oh? Could it be a god?"
"The so-called 'God' is nothing in front of the Great Lord, Your Highness Eliza."
"In other words, it was the great master who asked you to come here?"
"No, but this is my personal way of implementing the master's will. If it were someone else, the executor would be different, and the methods and approaches would also be different. It is even possible that the positions would be completely contradictory and tit-for-tat."
"So there are many people like you who are loyal to the great master and serve him?"
"rare."
"How much is very little?"
"There are only nine seats, and two are vacant."
"Seven people?" "Possibly, but we cannot rule out the possibility that there are multiple members in one seat."
"Who are they?"
"We have never revealed our identities to each other, which is a very dangerous thing."
"You are not united?"
"We are united under the Lord, but as I said just now, different executors have different methods and approaches, and it is even possible that their positions are completely contradictory and tit-for-tat."
"What benefits did the Lord give you?"
“Everyone gets a different gift.”
"What did you get?"
"A hundred times the life span and eternal lucidity."
"Can we join in?"
"Those who are qualified will be guided by the first pillar at the right time."
"Okay, I'm fine."
"Your Majesty Chiwat?"
"Let's stop here for now."
"Very good, then the question and answer session ends here..."
Ostaz nodded, then sat up straight and said to Chivat seriously, "Now, if I say that I hope you two will leave Griffin and live another life, are you willing to accept it?"
Eliza chuckled and did not give a direct answer. Instead, she turned to look at Chivat.
The Blood Lion Emperor did not give a direct answer. He just thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of another life?"
"As long as it's not the life of the Blood Lion Emperor, anything is fine."
Ostaz smiled slightly, spread his hands and said, "For example, you can be a musician as you just said. As for Your Highness Eliza, I heard that you seem to be suffering from your lack of talent as a mage. If you don't mind, I can try to make you a spellcaster who is at least above average."
"Very good, I am interested."
Eliza's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at her brother: "Brother, what about you?"
"Me too."
Chiwete raised his lips slightly, and said apologetically: "It's a pity that I am the emperor of Griffin."
"Tsk tsk, I don't care if I'm the princess of Griffin."
Elisa shrugged and winked at Ostaz slyly. "It's a pity that I only want to live my own life, and the life you just mentioned, the life with talents far above the average spellcaster, does not belong to me."
"This is sophistry, Your Highness Eliza, but it doesn't matter. After all, I already expected that you two would not agree to such an unreasonable request."
Ostaz said this in a very good-natured manner, and just as he was about to say something, he noticed that Chivat had sat up slightly straighter, so he considerately raised his hand to signal him to speak first.
However, this time, Chiwete's question was the first time that Ostaz, who had a very mysterious attribute, was unable to give an immediate answer.
"I'm curious, Mr. Ostaz, you just mentioned the two of us, but didn't mention Gavel... Is it simply because she's not here, or is there another reason?"
Looking directly into the other person's sea-blue eyes, the Blood Lion Emperor Chiwetel Logan said so.
Finally, after a long silence——
"Unfortunately."
Ostaz sighed silently, shook his head gently and said, "But based on my observation, it is meaningless to ask Her Highness Gavel such a question now."
Chivat frowned, staring at the ancient dragon in front of him, and asked word by word: "Can I understand that in your opinion, even Eliza and I have the possibility of accepting that ridiculous proposal, but Gavel..."
"Her Highness Gavel's heart is dead. I think I can give you two another life that will make you feel satisfied, but I can't fulfill Her Highness Gavel's wish."
Ostaz interrupted Chivat and said seriously, "She is hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, even if a miracle really happens, its background may not be as pure as she expects."
"Ok."
After hesitating several times, Chiwetel finally stopped hesitating and stopped his plan to continue talking about the topic of "Gorville". He asked in a deep voice: "Second question, what is the reason why you want to give Eliza and me another life?"
"compassion."
This time, Ostaz did not hesitate at all and said very straightforwardly: "Although for any Speaker of the Silver Wing Alliance, the most suitable ending for the Logan family is to wither and die, and finally be swept into the dust of history, but... old people are always nostalgic. It seems that since a long time ago, I, as Ostaz, have begun to regard each generation of Logan as a junior."
Eliza laughed playfully. "Oh? Aren't you afraid that you will be overwhelmed by this unreasonable emotion and do something stupid that will harm the interests of the Silver Wing Alliance? Or are our empire and that loose alliance just toys for you to kill time?"
"Of course not. I am different from those immortals whose 'humanity' will be gradually worn away by time. I have never considered myself to be a special existence, nor do I think I am qualified to treat anything as a toy."
Ostaz dismissed the other party's accusation and said calmly: "Of course, this is not because I am so special. As I said before, the master has given me a hundred times the lifespan and eternal sobriety. A sober person will not get lost."
Eliza nodded noncommittally and exclaimed, "I see!"
Chiwete then sat up straight again and nodded, "Then please continue."
"Then we get down to business."
Ostaz pressed his hands down slightly, causing the puppet to stop playing and the bird to stop singing. He said solemnly, "I promise that the Silver Wing Alliance will not intervene in any form while Griffin is at war. I hope that this war can be stabilized as soon as possible. If not, please ask the royal family to persevere without violating principles."
"So, we were really betrayed?"
"This is a gamble, Your Majesty Chiwat. You already knew that from the moment you put those nobles on the table, Griffin was destined to be shattered under the knives of your two 'allies'."
"It is a beautiful vision to survive in the face of death, but your opponent this time is not the Dream Pope Yueying and the Emperor William Bohe of the Chauvin Empire."
"..."
"Your plan, which seemed to be 'going with the flow', had already gotten out of control before it even started."
"what do you mean……"
"Your plans, your forbearance, your gambles, never belong to you."
"The man who plotted to kill Arthur Bohe was never after the Chauvin Empire."
