"There are also rumors saying that Inega II has been corrupted by a powerful ’Kindlewick Will’, facing unknown dangers... You know about the Kindlewick Will, don’t you? Yes, you know. So you should understand the unease felt by Inega II’s closest wife and legitimate son when they detected the abnormal changes in their husband and father, which combined with the lethality of the first rumor."
"What exactly Inega II was researching, we do not know. But at that time, there were indeed rumors saying that the Empire was conducting research related to ’world destruction’."
"Even the Empress and the Crown Prince felt terrified, which is sufficient to illustrate that the Pioneer had already indeed transformed into the real Black Sun—even the Huai Guang Church acknowledged this, so no one could stay uninvolved, and had to turn their attention to the Empire."
Saying this, Yafada provided Mahdi with another perspective of the Empire’s situation before the ’Dark Moon Turmoil’: "And at that time, due to Inega II’s reforms, undercurrents were already surging within the Empire, to the extent that even the First Legion Commander and the First Knight had several private communications or even face-offs. Of course, the First Knight won, but the Legion Commander remained unconvinced, because he believed Inega II’s reforms would disrupt the entire order of the Empire, leading to its collapse, weakening the National Domain he was safeguarding."
"Governor Bai Ji obeyed the Emperor, but He ’only’ obeyed the ’Emperor’. As long as there was no order from the ’Emperor’, He wouldn’t take action."
"Mahdi, over so many years, you must have traversed the Empire, you surely can understand, the internal situation of the Empire is so complex that it can’t be explained in just a few words—even though I wasn’t involved in any events related to the Dark Moon Turmoil, for the sake of Canaan Moore’s status and future, I won’t deny the decisions made by people back then."
"The Imperial People might still have the resources to believe in Inega II’s decisions, but how could people from other countries entrust their lives and future to a foreign emperor?"
The elf Yafada spoke slowly: "’You’ are the ’Imperial People’. And ’we’ are the ’Canaan Moore People’."
When humans divide each other with such terms, the Tower of Heaven has already collapsed.
To this, even Ian had no intention of retorting, he merely sighed and shook his head: "They moved too fast, and indeed, it wasn’t necessarily the correct path."
Yafada’s words were evidently another kind of partial view, but his agreement with Hiliard was in this point.
——They moved too fast.
——And it wasn’t necessarily the correct Dao.
However, Ian was also very clear.
Even if Inega II didn’t head in the right direction.
But, he was also the only one of that era to move forward.
"I will say no more about everything related to the Dark Moon Turmoil."
Yafada said, turning his head to look at the silver crystal, his gaze indifferent: "I was still young then, still playing around, the heir of the Yinmen Household was still my brother."
"He died." Raising his head, once more looking at the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, the elf seriously spoke: "I am also seeking revenge, just like you."
Controlling the dragon, Mahdi, Ian himself could see through Yafada’s reasons and thoughts for trying to cozy up, and he didn’t find it strange—Canaan Moore’s complete unification of discourse, the chance to end the millennia-old blood feud of the Blood of the Ten Kings was right before his eyes, how could such an important historical turning point not be favorable?
Ian believed, for Yafada at this time, if kneeling to him could earn his help, he would unhesitatingly kneel and kowtow. So-called dignity, shame, and the concern for face that only ordinary people would have, are but dust compared to belief and ’desire’.
And Ian was also very clear that if Yafada and others were to succeed, Canaan Moore would be reborn in flames like a phoenix—completing the unfulfilled grand unification endeavor of the Phoenix King Minal Wort several centuries ago under their hands.
And then, without internal strife, without self-consumption, the elves would reveal astonishing depths... Even though Canaan Moore is now an ally of the Empire, such a powerful force’s rise would also be a massive shift in the continental situation.
Ian is not an Imperial loyalist, if Canaan Moore couldn’t grow strong and divert the Empire’s attention, how could he develop his own force, masquerading as a loyalist to acquire resources? Follow current novᴇls on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Not to mention... If Yafada and others succeed, Ashlight Family, as one of the victors, would see a significant rise in power, and his friend Anfa is precisely the sole heir of the Ashlight Family.
Thinking of this, Ian collected his thoughts, ’Mahdi’ slowly said: "Then proceed to analyze Campari’s Split Soul, preparing for a deadly strike... I have other matters to attend to, so do not disturb me."
Upon finishing, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon turned around, ready to leave.
[Ah, wait, Knight Sir over there]
But at the same time, in Yafada’s pocket, a Core Chip rose up without wind, and the elf girl with black hair composed of a vague holographic image waved eagerly at the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon: [Wait a moment, I haven’t thanked you yet!]
Golan National Domain. The elf girl who played a key role at the last moment, stabilizing Campari’s Split Soul.
