Mystery: A Spark

"Mr. Alkavon, peace is hard-won."

"May our two countries conclude a lasting peace."

On the ship, Arthur reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged man opposite him, speaking with a sincere smile.

"I hope so. World peace has always been the lifelong pursuit of us Fusak people." The middle-aged man also had a gentle smile on his face.

The two exchanged high-sounding words, but their own thoughts were swirling in their minds.

After chatting for a while, the two groups cautiously boarded their boats and left.

"When it comes to blatantly lying, you're the better one."

Inside a room on the flagship of the Rune fleet, Klein joked.

“I just watched the news a lot back then,” Arthur replied.

"Is it even appropriate to say that?"

"...How about we change the subject?"

"Alright."

"By the way, how's the digestion of the potion in your body going?"

"Not bad, I've found quite a few good opportunities in the past two months. How about you?"

"I'll be close too. War has greatly boosted the Hunter path. I feel that Alcarvon should be almost there as well."

“If I could, I really wouldn’t want to see war break out,” Klein said in a low voice.

Although he gained many benefits from this sudden war, such as the progress of potion digestion and the powerful magic puppet.

However, the cruelty brought about by war still made Klein want to avoid such things as much as possible.

Hearing his words, Arthur sighed softly:

"No one wants to see war break out, Lao Zhou, and I don't want it either. But in any world, it's hard for countries to maintain long-term peace. There are always various factors that can cause disputes to arise and then develop into war."

"Let's not talk about the reasons in the mundane world. We've seen plenty of those before. The various contradictions brought about by the potion system alone are enough to cause strife in this world. If we want to get rid of this situation, we must find a new path."

For example, the Warlock system, and the Mech Warrior system created by Arthas.

Although these systems all have their own drawbacks, such as the warlocks currently lacking sufficient energy sources and the mech warrior system requiring a sufficiently strong physique, at least they all have the potential to become widespread and will not cause mental problems like the potion system.

The potion system was developed by the ancient sun god based on the blasphemous tablets. After the chaotic era of the ancient gods ended, it pointed out a relatively safe path for the advancement of extraordinary power.

From a macro perspective, the potion system has its advanced significance.

However, its core essence is actually the act of devouring the original flesh and blood and borrowing its power, which leads to all sorts of problems.

Arthur, however, took a different approach. He used the primordial power externally, thus avoiding the mental and physical distortions that would result from the potion system.

This is the Warlock system.

The Mech Warrior system is a derivative of the Warlock system, and the underlying concept is actually the same.

"It will be very difficult to change the potion system," Klein said.

He was unaware that Arthur was seeking to create a new extraordinary system, nor did he see the Scourge's uniqueness; his sensitivity in this regard was limited.

“It is difficult, so we need to solve the mundane problems first.” Arthur nodded.

"Mortal? You don't mean to..." Klein was somewhat surprised.

"Our ancestors already told us how to solve this situation, didn't they?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"Unification? That's too difficult. True gods are like nuclear weapons, no, I feel they are much more terrifying than nuclear weapons," Klein said, frowning.

“I didn’t say we had to follow Old Ying’s path completely; I was just referring to his ideas.” Arthur shrugged.

"Oh... anyway, you should still be careful. Doing this kind of thing can easily lead to a terrible death," Klein warned.

"I understand, I'll be careful."

After chatting for a while, Klein got up to say goodbye and leave.

Then, Arthas appeared out of nowhere and said:

"Arthur, Sister Bernadette has finished the magic scroll and asked me to bring it over."

"Oh? It took you this long." Arthur took the scroll and put it away.

“Also, there’s something else you might need to know,” Arthas added.

"what's up?"

"See for yourself," Arthas said, spitting out a piece of paper.

Arthur took it and saw several pieces of information written on the paper:

On July 14, a political party called "Silver Dawn" emerged in Intis and began to grow.

On August 28, the Intis Revolution broke out, and the revolutionary wave spread throughout the country in a very short time.

On September 11, the mysterious Queen Bernadette forcefully took over the White Maple Palace, assuming the position of consul.

Arthur:?

He stared at the intelligence report in his hand for a few seconds before realizing what had happened.

Just before Arthur led his army to fight the Fusacs, Bernadette, who was asked by him to cause trouble in Intis, actually did cause a huge incident!

she!

Mysterious Queen!

It has actually been restored in Intis!

"Holy crap... awesome!" Arthur uttered his only exclamation at that moment.

Sister, I only asked you to muddy the waters in Intis and hinder them so they couldn't send troops. How did you end up taking Intis so easily?

It's like the Nine-Headed Insect sent Benbo'erba to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples, but Benbo'erba not only killed Tang Sanzang and his group, but also stormed into the Great Thunder Temple, kicked the Buddha off the throne, and sat on it to become the Buddha himself.

This is more than just magical; it's downright magical!

Something's not right! Something's definitely not right, even nine-tenths wrong!

"Isn't the Church of the Eternal Sun reacting at all?" Arthur asked instinctively.

You should know that the Church of the Blazing Sun was involved in Roselle's death. Aren't they worried that Huang Beibei would retaliate?

“Before her initiation, Sister Bernadette visited the Church of the Eternal Sun. I don’t know what they said, but the Church of the Eternal Sun did not explicitly oppose the revolution, nor did it forbid its priests from protecting the interests of their respective families,” Arthas replied.

"Complete neutrality? What about the Sauron family?" Arthur asked again.

"The Soren family has split."

"Split?"

"Yes, some female members of the Sauron family are unwilling to change their gender. They believe they have the freedom to choose their gender and have abandoned the hunter path passed down through generations, choosing instead the assassin path."

“They felt that the family’s decision to force them to follow the hunter’s path was sexist and disrespectful of their gender, which is why the Sauron family split up,” Arthas replied in a strange tone.

Arthur:......

He silently covered his face.

"What's wrong? Why are you reacting like this? Wait, this can't be related to you, can it?" Arthas exclaimed in surprise.

"How could that be? What does the division of the Soren family have to do with me? You're being ridiculous." Arthur wiped his face and said calmly.

"Are you sure it's okay?" the puppy asked skeptically. "I remember you seemed to have dealt with a member of the Sauron family before."

"That has nothing to do with me. We've only talked a few times."

Who knew they would update the version because of this?

Chapter 299 Backlund's Return to Loyalty

The Sauron family split up because they updated to the European and American versions of the game, something Arthur would never admit to having anything to do with.

Even if there is a connection, it's with his past.

The person he was in the past is not the person he is now.

Therefore, rounding down, this matter has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, even if the Soren family hadn't split, it would only have caused some trouble for Huang Beibei's grand plan.

It's unlikely to be enough to turn the tide.

“So, it’s all the timing’s fault,” Arthur declared confidently.

And of course, he did nothing wrong.

"Who is Shichen?" Arthas asked curiously.

"A scapegoat."

"You're really good at being shameless," Arthas retorted.

Arthur flicked the puppy's ear as punishment, then turned his gaze back to the intelligence, pausing on the name "Silver Dawn."

"Do you think I should rename the Red Tide to the Scarlet Crusade?" A strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"The Scarlet Crusade? That name sounds a bit religious. Why change it?" Arthas asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I was just talking nonsense." Arthur changed the subject.

Although Arthas created the Scourge, this little thing is not the Lich King, and it is unlikely that a Lich King will ever appear in this world.

Therefore, there's naturally no need to create a "Scarlet Crusade" versus "Argent Dawn" showdown.

"What are the stances of the two factions after the Sauron family split?" Arthur asked Arthas.

“The Assassin faction is actively aligning itself with Bernadette, while the Hunter faction, severely weakened, has fallen into silence and has not yet shown any political inclination,” Arthas replied.

"Why would the assassin faction align themselves with Bernadette? Even if they split off, they're still members of the Sauron family. Aren't they afraid that Bernadette will turn against them?" Arthur asked, somewhat puzzled.

“In fact, these people have already abandoned their father’s surname, Sauron, and started using their mother’s surname instead. So they probably no longer consider themselves members of the Sauron family, and Sister Bernadette doesn’t seem to have any intention of settling scores with them,” Arthas said quietly. “As for why they’re aligning themselves with Sister Bernadette, perhaps it’s because they want a female leader?”

Arthur:......

Oh no, this toxic ideology has really taken hold!
