Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2119 is certainly not limited to this, but it is one of the essential parts!

The moment Brand finished speaking.

The human man, who had just been trembling, calmed down in an instant.

At the same time, the grey elves, including Virianna, quickly revealed a wary and hostile expression.

Hiding one's identity is one thing, but to pretend to be innocent and try to get away with it here?

It's hard to believe they came with good intentions!

Just as they expected, the human man then spoke in a hostile tone:

"That's quite a keen insight."

Or perhaps it should be said, "Truly worthy of being the legendary demon god who destroyed an entire continent?"

As he spoke, crimson cracks began to appear on the human man's skin.

These cracks are multiplying at an extremely rapid rate, and they are also rapidly expanding.

Lava flows and red flames burn high.

In the blink of an eye, the human man transformed in the flames into a humanoid demon wearing leather armor, with crimson skin covered in scales, and a head that looked like a lizard.

After carefully examining it, Brand recognized it as a relatively rare, disguise-savvy, mid-level demon race known as the "Red Lizard Fire Demons."

At the same time, this is also a great demon who poses no threat to them.

As Brand tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, pondering how to deal with this devilish man who didn't seem very friendly.

The Crimson Lizard Fire Demon, who had calmly revealed his true form, suddenly produced a crimson crystal with incredible speed and crushed it in an instant.

She watched calmly as the demon completed his actions, and then raised her hand to signal to the gray elves beside her, such as Virianna, not to be nervous.

Brand's eyes began to gleam with a faint magical light, and he spoke calmly:

"A space-based emergency communication method? That's quite ingenious."

Let me see. The destination is within Nightspire City, where your companions are located.

In addition... the Northwest Front of the Osia Continent?
Oh? They've come looking for us?

When Brand calmly and easily pointed out the target location for the emergency communication.

The Red Lizard Fire Demon's heartbeat involuntarily paused for a moment.

However, his anxious heart quickly returned to calm.

Because a curtain of flames appeared directly in the conference hall.

On the other side of this light screen, their revered and great leader, the [God of Magic and Martial Arts], Lord Gures Padres, was revealed!
—His mission has been successfully completed!

At this moment, the main character appeared.

Brand ignored such a minor character as the Red Lizard Fire Demon.

Their gazes were drawn to the old, burly demon sitting on a lava rock chair on the other side of the fiery light curtain.

As he continued to scrutinize him, Brand spoke in a low voice:

"It's good that His Excellency Gures contacted us directly."

I was just about to ask if your [Radiant Hall] tentacles have stretched too far?

This is the land under the protection of Frost, and an important celebration is about to take place here.

Arriving uninvited is hardly polite.

Upon hearing this, Gurez, who was also sizing up Brand, responded in a deep voice:

"Aren't you Frost people the same?"
On the continent of Osia, in the Emerald Realm, your lord, the Nine-Headed Mosasaurus, once thwarted our important war plans.

The grey elf lady next to you was also there with her mage party.

In fact, I don't care about the mischievous impulses of these young and energetic juniors.

"But haven't you gone a bit too far by bullying the weak?"

Brand shook his head and said:

"This is the homeland of the Grey Elves. You are outsiders, while I am a guardian."

[The Emerald Realm] It was the same there; you invaded and plundered there as outsiders. Virianna went to help her friends on the continent of Osia, while we, Frost, went to help her.

We, Frost, have not overstepped any boundaries.

So what you're trying to say is that we hindered your invasion and plunder, so now you're coming to cause us trouble?

Upon hearing this, Gures asked in surprise:
"I originally thought that you, who were called evil gods and suspected of bringing destruction to a continent, would be more accepting of thinking that leans towards chaos and self, rather than order and others."

It seems the rumors were wrong?

Brand said calmly:

“A mere unfounded rumor can lead you to form a preconceived notion and believe it without question.”

Arrogance and prejudice seem particularly evident in the demons of your [Radiant Hall]!

After saying that, Brand continued:
"Let's get back to the point and explain the purpose of your uninvited visit."

We will respond appropriately depending on the circumstances.

Gurez nodded and said:
"Let's get back to the main topic. The main reason we [Radiant Fire Hall] sent people there this time is to talk to you, Frost, about your specific stance."

We can let bygones be bygones.

However, I hope that you and Frost will view our war on the continent of Osia rationally in the future, and remain neutral.

After a slight pause, seeing that Brand remained silent, Gures continued:
"I completely understand your idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation as a third party."

But this war is of great significance to our [Hall of Blazing Fire].

Anything that stands in our way or hinders this war will be considered our enemy.

We do not wish to see you become our enemy.

Therefore, we hope that Frost will restrain himself to avoid doing anything that we will regret.

Brand continued in a flat tone:

"Your Excellency Gurez, I must say, your idea is very naive."

Years ago, when you embarked on this cross-sea expedition based on self-interest, you should have considered that:

If you cannot achieve victory cleanly and decisively.

Over time, everyone's attention will be drawn to this.

A wounded beast is certainly terrifying, but it is always easier to deal with than when it is intact.

Therefore, even if we in Frost remain neutral, there will still be many forces eyeing you.

Gurez shook his head and said:

"There are risks in everything, but there are some things we have to do, like this cross-sea expedition!"
Faced with the end of Vantim, we could certainly choose not to wage war against other nations and instead relocate our people to a barren place with little conflict.

But in doing so, our ethnic group will obviously decline generation after generation over time.

If we want to change things, we will eventually have to expand outwards and relocate our ancestral lands, either gently or radically.

Since this is something that is unavoidable, we should naturally choose to launch the most radical expansion when we are at our strongest, so as to lay the foundation for our people to last for eternity.

As for the final success or failure, it still comes down to this:

Everything carries risk; it all depends on whether we're willing to bear it.

Brand nodded and said:
"It's a very nice way of putting it, so I won't comment on it."

Now, let's talk about the practicalities.

We, Frost, are not incapable of remaining neutral, but what do you have to offer to convince us to remain neutral?

It couldn't be your power and influence, could it?

If that's the case, then we'll have to see for ourselves.

Gurez shook his head again and said:

"Of course, it's not just that, but it's one of the essential components!"
