"During that long period of ti, not all was darkness. Occasionally, flas could be seen. However, that was too little. During that period of ti, the thing I did the most was to escape. They escaped from the slave traders one by one and flew to the stars. Then, they were targeted by other slave traders and repeated the process. "It was probably at that ti that interest-oriented judgnt was ford," Edward laughed self-deprecatingly. "At that ti, no one helped . If I wanted to survive, I could only rely on myself. I can't make any mistakes. I can't do anything, so I have to calculate carefully and accurately every ti I act. To be honest, this kind of life is very tiring. More than once, I have thought of ending it myself. But I can't do that. I want to live. Only by living can I avenge the culprit who caused all this! "
Ellen frowned, "The culprit?"
"Yes, the culprit who destroyed our planet Maritan." Edward looked into the darkness of the street, as if he could see a planet on the verge of disintegration, and then his eyes were burning with rage, but he looked so calm: "I think the earth was an important turning point, where I t you, and Father Walker of the bar. Humans are also greedy creatures. You use all available resources to expand desperately, no different from the other aliens I've t. But I have to admit, even in your darkness, there are flas like you and Father Walker. You are the people I have t, and very few of you have ever thought of capturing or using . "
"That's why I chose to join you. I originally planned to borrow your power so that I wouldn't have to be a slave to soone else. Then, I unknowingly walked to this point. Now that I think about it, fate is indeed a very wonderful thing." "The universe is so big," Edward said coolly, "but the thread of destiny holds all the people and things involved, and pulls us together by so chance."
"Didn't you ask what I really want?" "I want revenge on that guy, the one who destroyed our planet Maritan," Edward said. "If I'm not mistaken, he's on Planet Paradise right now. And you've seen him!"
Ellen was shocked and said, "Could it be "
'"That's right, the man who killed Tangerio. I heard the description of him from Woodrick. Although it looked different, it seed that he was right in terms of style and ability. I won't forget his na " Edward gritted his teeth and said, "Pirate Emperor, Stark!"
Ellen nodded. "If it's him, don't worry. One day, I'll help you get rid of him, if you don't mind if I do."
Edward narrowed his eyes. "You don't seem to know how powerful that person is. I won't say anything else. Tangelio died at his hands. You've fought him yourself, right?"
"Of course I know." Ellen rubbed his chest. "That guy almost knocked apart with a punch, so what? Now that he's standing opposite us, sooner or later he'll have to fight again." And as I said, I'm already on my way back to my ancestral ho. Every day, I get stronger. When the day cos to the final battle with him, I will definitely not be so close to being killed as last ti. Besides, I also have a reason to kill him "
Even if that person wasn't Stark as Edward had said, he was still one of the voters on the Blazing Blood Path. No matter what, Alan had to kill him unless he was willing to die at the hands of the other party.
Of course that's impossible.
The path of burning blood left nothing to choose from, but it also made many things simple.
It was neither life nor death, but the sa was true.
Edward looked at him and asked seriously, "If that person was Stark, would you really take the risk for ?"
"Alright, don't be such a mother-in-law. We are friends, brothers who have walked together until now. Killing one or two enemies for you is nothing, even though he is a bit troubleso." Alan waved his hand and said, "But it's settled. So, cheer up, you too. We still have a lot to do. As the brains of our team, you can't just do nothing."
Edward suddenly laughed, tidied his clothes carefully, and finally half-knelt to Alan. He touched his chest with one hand and lowered his head solemnly, "From this mont on, my life will be yours."
Ellen hurriedly pulled him up. "Don't do this all of a sudden, okay? What is your life? My life, you better live well for , and then use your smart head to advise . That's the right thing to do."
Edward smiled faintly, and did not intend to continue to tangle with him on the subject. Anyway, there were so things that he could recognize and confirm. He coughed softly and walked to the table, tapping the map with his finger. "Since you're talking about business, let's have a good talk. Lord Alan, what do you think of our current situation?"
"Of course it's terrible. Although it's not desperate, it's far from what we expected when we went north." Alan smiled bitterly. He hadn't thought that Tangerio would die just like that. Now, with the confrontation between the two princes, the empire would split up into the north and the south.
Edward shook his head and said, "I don't think so. On the contrary, the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages. Of course, only for outsiders like us. For His Highness Julian, it's as bad as you say."
Alan frowned, "What do you an?"
"First of all, you must rember that we are not from the empire. Even you and I have titles. Oh, not anymore, but it doesn't matter. Hawson's voice can't reach the South anyway. I even suspect how many officials and lords will pay for him if we leave Oliska." Edward patted his forehead and said, "Go back to ourselves. The empire used to be strict in rank and perfect in system. To obtain a power as high as that of a duke in such a country, it would not be possible for us to operate for a few years, or even ten years in the long run."
"However, things are different now. The north and south are divided, and power is scattered. The entire empire will receive a power shuffle. If you take advantage of this opportunity, even if you don't have the na of Duke, it's not like you don't have a chance to obtain the real power, territory, and wealth of a Duke." "War brings disaster, but it also brings opportunities, even miracles," Edward said in a low voice.
Even though he was ntally prepared, Alan was still shocked when he heard this from Edward. Edward opened a window for him, and he could already think of the vast world outside. That's right, internal strife in the empire was definitely not a good thing for anyone, but for outsiders like them, it was a good opportunity to rise rapidly.
Especially since he still had the trump card of Julian in his hand. His Highness was the successor of the empire personally nad by Tangerio. Even if Hawson didn't admit it now, it didn't matter as long as people like Elizabeth and Hoey believed it. They still had a chance to take down Hawson and use the orthodox imperial lineage. In this process, there were plenty of opportunities for Allen to make a difference!
