Capítulo 1336: Chapter 1336: Terms of Alliance
“Honorable Emperor Xuanwu, I hope Your Majesty can overlook my previous offenses.”
Zhao Guang looked sowhat surprised at the person before him, the infamous King Lusis he had heard so much about yet never t.
He hadn’t expected that even though Lusis’s country had been destroyed, Lusis himself had silently made his way to this place. To be honest, Zhao Guang did not hold a favorable impression of this individual.
If it weren’t for this person constantly spreading all sorts of nonsense, his business wouldn’t have been so adversely affected. That aside, the frontlines were continually being pushed back.
Due to so of their strategies, countless civilians had died, and it was all their fault.
The most critical issue was the relentless advancent of the undead, which was a calamity for the entire world. At this point, Zhao Guang’s main goal was to delay, to hold out until his breakthrough mont.
The people from the Temple weren’t worried, as they were waiting for their divine intervention.
However, Zhao Guang didn’t want to pin his hopes on the whims of those divines. From the beginning, he had not factored them into his plans. He detested the upper echelons of a country like Lusis.
Yet, despite everything, the opposing party had co to him, and he couldn’t just start berating them.
As a king, there were things he needed to consider to ensure the proper developnt of a nation.
“Honorable King Lusis, there is no major conflict between us. Please take a seat, and let know what brings you here.”
Zhao Guang paid little heed to diplomatic language and got straight to the point.
Although certain formalities needed attention, being a demigod, granting this eting was already a huge gesture. Not to ntion, Lusis had only a nominal existence now; the nation was no more.
If it weren’t for the external invasion, even their country’s na might have been erased.
King Lusis bowed slightly, sothing he never would have done in the past.
“I have co to seek assistance, hoping to form an alliance with you.”
This person’s arrogance was legendary, yet it was a surprise to see it firsthand. The attitude might differ from the tales, but the sense of superiority remained. How dare they propose an alliance?
Internally, Zhao Guang criticized, feeling his ti was being wasted.
He could use this ti to study sothing more worthwhile.
Just as Zhao Guang was about to refuse, King Lusis quickly said, “Please wait, hear my conditions first.”
“Very well, state your conditions.” Zhao Guang was already showing impatience.
Dealing with soone so oblivious was a waste of ti. Zhao Guang planned to reject him once he finished speaking. Conversing with such a person was just lowering oneself.
Unexpectedly, King Lusis presented a colorful sphere.
“This is my sincerity, the Elental Heart.”
Initially, Zhao Guang was indifferent, but then his gaze shifted slightly. This Elental Heart contained an unimaginable and pure form of elental power.
One could even perceive various elental laws circulating within, crystal clear.
If given to a peak Mage, they might comprehend these laws and breakthrough into the demigod level. Indeed, demigod-level laws are not always self-created.
If one could understand external laws, they could adopt them to enhance their own.
However, external laws naturally belong to the world, and understanding them ans integrating into the world step by step.
Before Zhao Guang could inquire, King Lusis explained.
“This Elental Heart is ford by compressing an entire elental plane, containing everything from within. I think it could be very useful even for you.”
Zhao Guang squinted, consciously aware of the King’s intent.
“This gift is sincerely offered, but an alliance is unnecessary. However, I can provide so assistance.”
Before arriving, they must have researched his situation, or they wouldn’t have brought such a tailored gift.
The Elental Heart was useful to him, but not significantly.
However, for Jeana, the Storm Priest, it was different. Storm Power can reference Elental Law to accelerate its developnt. Through the Soul Contract, Jeana’s strength was nearing its peak.
But achieving a breakthrough was no simple feat.
Jeana lacked the support of Hell Power and the Dragon Clan’s formidable Bloodline Power.
Solely relying on herself, who knows how long it would take to breakthrough, and it was sothing he couldn’t aid with yet.
But with this, Jeana could achieve demigod-level status in a short ti. This was sothing Zhao Guang couldn’t refuse, though using it as a basis for an alliance fell short.
“Rest assured, Your Majesty, I aim to form an alliance with the Xuanwu Empire, not with you personally.”
Zhao Guang understood this ant the contract imposed no constraints on a demigod, affecting the empire only in na.
His reputation was seemingly well-utilized, and this person wasn’t as foolish as rumors suggested.
With this realization, Zhao Guang nodded, “In that case, it’s agreeable. I can provide so assistance.”
“Thank you for the trouble.” The other party respectfully placed the Elental Heart in front of Zhao Guang.
“Let the negotiations proceed down the ranks, as per tradition.” Despite King Lusis’s urgency, he did not oppose this. Soon after, he departed.
Staring at the Elental Heart, Zhao Guang was filled with wonder.
“Truly a heritage-rich empire, its depth beyond common comprehension.”
Even in ruins, their possessions were astonishing.
Compressing an elental plane into this form wasn’t sothing an ordinary demigod could achieve. At the very least, it required a peak elental demigod.
Perhaps multiple demigods collaborated to accomplish this.
As for its exact purpose, Zhao Guang was unsure, but he surmised it might serve as energy. How it ca into the Lusis Empire’s possession, only to be revealed now, was a mystery.
If employed sooner, their nation’s power might have reached new heights.
