Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique - Chapter 316
Chapter 316: Chapter 74: Contempt for Meat Eaters_2
They called upon the commoner class of the High Mountain Fairies, advocating not to bleed heedlessly, nor mindlessly sacrifice themselves.
They should keep their useful bodies intact, so to cooperate with the “visitors” from another world after the war, to build a better Fairy World.
In several royal court assemblies, the High Mountain Fairy Duke clashed heatedly with the eldest prince.
Now here he was, putting on a show of deep camaraderie.
Who was he trying to impress?
The nobility? Or the commoners?
Those in favor of war? Or those advocating for peace?
What message was he trying to convey?
Were the High Mountain Fairies preparing their entire clan to heed the royal family’s call and resist the “invasion” to the death?
Or was the royal family not planning to resist until the very end, intending to negotiate with the “demon,” no, the “visitor” from the other world?
For a time, the situation had become intricately complicated.
“Your Highness’s righteousness will not be forgotten by the Fairy royal family.” Standing outside the mansion gate, the eldest prince made pleasantries. Afterwards, he bid farewell to the High Mountain Fairy Duke, boarded his carriage, and prepared to visit the next house.
“Your Highness, remember our agreement. I won’t fail to live up to your trust and I hope that you will keep your promise and don’t go back on your word,” the High Mountain Fairy Duke suddenly interjected, his voice booming like a bell, echoing around the mansion.
The eldest prince, who was about to embark on his carriage, paused momentarily before returning to normal and boarding the vehicle.
The carriage drawn by two Tusked Savage Elephant Beasts moved steadily away.
The High Mountain Fairy Duke watched them leave, appearing somewhat reluctant to part.
Truth be told, both fairies were muttering complaints about each other in their hearts – one calling the other a miser, and the other deriding him for his excessive greed.
After leaving the mansion of the High Mountain Fairy Duke, the eldest prince’s vehicle immediately headed toward the mansion of the Fairy Demon Duke.
Today, the eldest prince planned to visit all the dukes of the major clans who had gathered in the royal court.
He hoped to persuade them all to send out troops to welcome the envoy of the “demon”—no, the “visitor” from the different world.
Afterwards, it would depend on his second brother’s ability to provoke conflict between the two parties.
Within the Fairy King Forest.
“Stop, rest.”
After speeding forward for more than an hour, Boss Otis suddenly issued a command.
The special task force immediately complied, halting their advance, maintaining a cautious formation, taking a break, hydrating, and eating on the spot.
Everyone, including Boss Otis, only consumed their own carried water and food.
Nobody shared their food or water with others.
Link took a note of that.
And reflected on his actions during the contest in the second district.
After a brief rest and observing that there was seemingly still some time before moving on.
Link took the opportunity to contact Assad in a private chat, asking for confirmation: “We’ve moved this smoothly, bypassing all the obvious and hidden sentries and fairy settlements along the way, does that mean our route had been scouted in advance?”
Although Betty, the “Black Cat”, had been controlling dozens of biomimetic hummingbirds and scouting around them throughout the journey.
However, the decisions on the route had always been made by Boss Otis in advance.
Betty’s reconnaissance was more like a precautionary measure, to avoid falling into traps.
Assad raised his eyebrows and explained with a smile:
“Conquering the heavens is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves dealing with people.
The first thing Sage Palo did when his army arrived at the Fairy World was not to build a forward base, but to send envoys to contact the ruling party of the Fairy World, the Fairy royal family.
If they were willing to become a subsidiary world to the Wizard World, willing to contribute, willing to help ‘influence’ the World’s Will of the Fairy World with that of the Wizard World, Sage Palo could retain their ruling position. Moreover, he could even help them develop.
However, the Fairy royal family refused and even audaciously killed the envoy, initiating the war.
That is why there was the first battle of reactive retaliation and the following equivalent retaliation of the second battle.”
‘Wait,”
Link interrupted Assad, asking skeptically, “An envoy killed?”
Given Sage Palo’s methods, and the usual practice of the Wizard World in conquering the heavens, if something as outrageous as the killing of an envoy had really happened, it wouldn’t have led to just two moderate battles. (The fairies weep)
They would definitely have launched the most thorough and craziest revenge. The entire Fairy World might already have been ploughed once by now.
Even if not completely wiped out, but certainly decimated at the least.
“It was just a puppet controlled by an Intelligence Mechanism Wizard, not a real person,”
Assad knew what Link was unsure about and promptly provided an explanation.
At this, Link suddenly realized.
If it wasn’t a real person, it wouldn’t be considered a significant event.
The most they would do would be to annihilate the Fairy royal family, demonstrating that wizards should not be disrespected.
And, incidentally, to take revenge for the innocent intelligent puppet who had been killed.
However, it would not result in wiping out the entire Fairy race.
At this point, Assad continued:
“Not just one puppet was sent out.
There were also four other puppets sent simultaneously to the High Mountain Fairy Tribe, the Fairy Demon Tribe, the River Demon Tribe, and the Deep Sea Fairy Tribe.
Sage Palo promised that as long as the leaders of the four major fairy tribes restrain their people, the Fairy World, after the extermination of the Fairy royal family, can be co-govemed by the four tribes.
As long as they are willing to represent the Fairy World and become a subsidiary of the Wizard World.
Who would not be tempted by such generous conditions?
As long as they are tempted, what information can’t be obtained?
What do the defense maps and route maps of Fairy King Forest amount to?” Link nodded, indicating he understood.
He had been thinking—from leaving the forward camp in the flying vehicle, to parachuting near the Fairy King Forest, and then, the response and route choice after entering the Fairy King Forest—everything felt a bit odd.
It was as if there was an invisible fairy leading the way in the front..
