Successors of all mankind

Chapter 51 You should have said so earlier!

Now, Yu Le actually understands a little bit about how those barbarians feel.

“I’m afraid your family doesn’t know you’ve returned, Lord Karl Robespierre.”

The traveler's smile completely vanished.

This was his only hope.

But to my surprise, the other party immediately saw through it.

So, he simply gave up and sat down on the sofa, facing Yu Le directly, and said:

"Yes, I said that on purpose. In reality, my family probably still thinks I'm in Albion. After all, the only two people who know my whereabouts are, one won't tell, and the other thinks I haven't returned."

At this point, the traveler was even a little speechless.

To please him, the ambassador would not proactively inform his family of his return.

To surprise Anna, he didn't tell her he was back...

“But, in any case, I am Robespierre, so, sir, what do you wish to discuss with me?”

The traveler didn't intend to make the atmosphere too stiff.

After all, his life was in the other party's hands.

This made Yu Le laugh even more.

This scene really feels so familiar!

When he was taken to the black market dealers, he was treated in a similar manner: "Although you have me under your control, I am still a noble lord. You should consider the consequences yourselves."

Seeing Yuraku laughing even more, the traveler became very uneasy.

He is indeed very talented, but that doesn't mean he's not afraid of death.

After laughing, Yu Le asked with great curiosity:

"Karl, is it alright if I call you that?"

"Of course, sir. As you wish!"

"Have you been to Numenor?"

Yu Le was initially completely unaware that the other person might have realized something.

For him, it was just a perfectly normal chance encounter.

It was just an awkward situation where the fake met the real deal.

But after he left, she suddenly realized that she probably shouldn't use the name "Yu Le".

Especially since the other party is Robespierre!

After all, as long as he has been to Numenor or had contact with people there.

So this might be a flaw, or a problem.

In particular, upon closer reflection, it seems that after hearing that his name was Jules, the other party took the opportunity to reveal that he was Robespierre, as if to test him.

So Yu Le, being a little more cautious, deliberately told the female knight to turn around and take a look at the corner.

It would be best to invite him over.

Sure enough, the other party actually returned!

The result is obvious: the other party probably went to Numenor and heard some information.

“Yes, Lord Jules, I have been to Numenor. And I…I have heard some of your deeds.”

After a brief silence, the traveler wanted to send some signals that would be advantageous to themselves:

"My lord, I must say that you have left a flaw. The divine machine you repaired is not powered or supplied with raw materials, yet it is still frantically producing the corresponding parts."

"It's true that the Machine Soul Great Joy can produce such a situation, but I've never seen one last this long."

Yu Le raised an eyebrow slightly, and the knight lady couldn't help but glance at him.

Holy crap, I had no idea that thing needed a power supply!

An unexpected flaw appeared before Yu Le's eyes.

He had always thought that the magical device was like Pandora, and didn't need to be charged.

After all, he didn't seem to see the device that needed charging.

So it turns out you really did steal things from warp!

While I'm happy that Shenji is so pleased with my arrival, isn't this a bit too much...?

"Rest assured, sir, I have already informed the people you have helped about this issue and have left them with enough wealth to ensure they can continue to supply it with a stable power supply without revealing this fact."

He knew he was in a bad situation, so he was extending goodwill, just like I was back then...

The increasingly strong sense of déjà vu left Yu Le with mixed feelings.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Le said to the traveler:

"Karl, what do you think is the reason I called you here?"

Here it comes, the big one is here!

How should I answer? What will happen if I answer incorrectly?

The traveler immediately tensed up.

The traveler had witnessed similar events far too many times, each time with unimaginable carnage and bloodshed.

At the same time, he rarely saw such incidents where no one died.

"My lord, I don't know, but I know it should be your decision."

After much deliberation, the traveler spoke of the best way to save his life.

Yu Le smiled and said:

“I just think we could work together.”

Robespierre was a top nobleman in France, whose status was almost equal to or even surpassed that of the Four Pillars.

After all, this country doesn't have dukes, and the status of nobles isn't really determined by titles.

It cannot be easily quantified.

Regardless, Robespierre was one of the most powerful nobles in the country.

"Cooperation? Cooperate on what?"

The traveler relaxed slightly, which meant his life was safe.

But what does the other party want to do? What do they want to cooperate with us on?

"However, Your Excellency, as a vassal of France, and the spear and shield of His Majesty and His Highness, there are some things I cannot agree to!"

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he took the initiative to express his opinion.

After looking around briefly, Yu Le pointed in one direction and said:

"Where am I supposed to go, the Zero Site you're talking about?"

Relic Zero? One of the greatest treasures of the French Empire?

Upon hearing this, the traveler couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He then calmly stood up, slightly straightened his collar, and said proudly:

“Lord Jules, I am a Frenchman, His Majesty’s vassal, His Highness’s blade, and a son of Robespierre. I will absolutely not agree! Whatever your purpose or intentions may be, I will never agree!”

"Now, do whatever you want to do."

"French men are not spineless!"

At that moment, the traveler felt incredibly cool.

He fulfilled his oath to the royal family and his loyalty to the princess and the king.

I am worthy of the name Robespierre!

Looking at this traveler whose face was completely calm, but whose legs were trembling violently.

Yu Le paused for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled:

"I was thinking of offering to help you in exchange for the Robespierre estate, which you have passed down through generations but have never been able to enter."

For this mission, Yu Le obtained a lot of potentially useful knowledge from Pandora.

And he has been taking extra classes to improve his health.

This includes the Robespierre family!

Upon hearing this, the traveler immediately rushed to Yu Le's table and enthusiastically said:

"My lord, that's no problem! Ah, next time something so important, please let me know sooner. After all, I have my pride too!"

Seeing the traveler's rapid transformation, Yu Le exclaimed in surprise:

"Didn't you say you were French, a vassal of your king, and a sword of the princess?"

Chapter 52 Am I the imposter?!

The traveler waved his hand and smiled:

"Yes, that is certainly true, but I am first and foremost Robespierre!"

My vassal's vassal is not my vassal.

So many years have passed, and it still hasn't changed.

Yu Le couldn't help but chuckle, but then, as if remembering something, he tentatively said:

"At the same time, I remember that you and Robespierre of Rattay are different branches of the same family line, right?"

"Yes, sir, I don't know what you mean?"

Although Robespierre of Rattay and Robespierre the Great of France share the same ancestor.

However, their relationship was not good, otherwise they would not have separated.

"I need the dwarves of Rattay to help me make something, so I was wondering if you could contact them through them?"

"I'm sorry, sir, our relationship is extremely bad. We don't want to deal with them, and they won't pay attention to us either, otherwise we wouldn't have had to separate."

The traveler then spoke with even greater seriousness:

"We are simply enemies we haven't declared war on!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was not quite right.

Because he seemed to have just said something similar.

Yu Le squinted at him and said:

“Is that so? But I also want to say that if you can successfully help me, maybe I can help you actually get something from Robespierre’s estate?”

"Actually got it?"

The traveler was taken aback.

"Yeah, once you actually get your hands on it, something you can use at will, it might be something you really want?"

Why are you so confident, sir?

"What will you lose if you fail? You can wait for me to fulfill my promise."

The traveler's lips curled into a smile, and his brow relaxed.

“What you said makes sense, so I think we can help with this too!”

"Really? But didn't you say you were just enemies who haven't declared war on us?"

Yu Le, who had been waiting here, looked at the other person with amusement.

The traveler, with the righteous indignation of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, declared:
