Chapter 187: La Folia: I Think My Looks Are Quite Capable ()

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another day went by.

Because he truly realized where the danger of Lin Que lay, Qi Yi, who had always been high and mighty, became rarely serious.

Under his full operation, in less than a day, Lin Que's actions had spread throughout the world.

Bloodily purging the high-ranking officials of Itogami Island and Nihon soil, and forcibly occupying them to establish an Empire of Night.

Such bloody actions instantly shocked the entire world.

And just as everyone was thinking about whether to join the Sanctuary Allied Forces to crusade against the Fourth Progenitor.

Nangong Nayue, who had long prepared the notice, conveyed Lin Que's words to the whole world at the same time.

"[If you don't want to be killed for no reason, declare your allegiance to the Fourth Progenitor within three days.]"

In the Kingdom of Aldegia, inside the royal palace of the capital city of Valtres, a burly man wearing a silver cloak looked at the officials below.

"This is the notice just sent remotely by the Fourth Progenitor's messenger, urging us to pick a North North North Side as soon as possible; what do you think?"

"He is very confident."

The minister standing at the very bottom replied: "Facing the Sanctuary Treaty institutional army assembled by the three great Progenitors, he not only doesn't look for allies but instead tries to provoke additional enemies."

"Either the Fourth Progenitor is truly stupid, or he has absolute confidence in his own strength, believing that even facing the enemies of the entire world, he can still win."

A very simple multiple-choice question.

Even Lucas, whose brain wasn't very sharp, understood that the Fourth Progenitor couldn't be a fool.

"Even facing the three great Progenitors at the same time, he still believes he will win......"

Lucas was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at a row of women sitting next to him.

"Queen, who do you think we should help."

"I don't know."

Facing such a choice concerning the fate of the country, even Polifonia, who usually helped Lucas manage the country, didn't dare to make a decision easily.

"What kind of person the Fourth Progenitor really is, we currently only know through written intelligence."

"Whether he is truly confident or has unknown motives, it's impossible to make a judgment right now."

"However, compared to other countries, our options are undoubtedly a bit more."

Most countries in the world today are divided into two types.

One type is countries that have joined the [Sanctuary Treaty], established friendly relations with the three great Empires of Night, and even had their lifelines grasped by them.

The other type is human powers that have not joined the [Sanctuary Treaty] and have long been in conflict with the three great Empires of Night in the dark.

The former basically all joined the Sanctuary Allied Forces after the War King of Extinction went to the Whispering Garden to hold a meeting.

The latter are still in a wait-and-see state, repeatedly jumping between joining the Fourth Progenitor's North North North Side to resist the Sanctuary Allied Forces and continuing to wait and maintain neutrality.

And compared to these two types of countries, the Kingdom of Aldegia is more special.

Although they joined the [Sanctuary Treaty], on the surface, they ended the long-standing war.

But because of their geographical location and the fact that they border the Domain of the War King, they still have friction with the other party in the dark.

"Whether it was during the war period in the past or the peace period after signing the Sanctuary Treaty."

"Dimitri Vatra and Peris Aradaor of the Domain of the War King have both caused a large number of casualties in our country."

"The Fourth Progenitor who killed these two people, regardless of his behavior, has a certain foundation of goodwill in our country."

"Whether it is following the Sanctuary Treaty to join the Sanctuary Allied Forces or withdrawing from the Sanctuary Treaty to join the Fourth Progenitor's North North North Side, both are feasible for us."

"At present, our best choice is to send a messenger to make contact with the Fourth Progenitor before the deadline arrives."

"Only by truly understanding the other party's personality and abilities can we make the best choice."

"Is that what you think."

After listening to his Queen's speech, Lucas was silent for a moment, his gaze looking at the crowd below.

"I agree with the Queen's idea; is there anyone among you willing to go to Nihon as a messenger to make contact with the Fourth Progenitor?"

"......"

As Lucas's voice fell, the spacious hall instantly fell into silence.

The ministers below looked at each other, not a single one daring to stand out.

To be honest, they actually agreed with this idea very much—to make contact with the Fourth Progenitor first before making a decision.

However......

Agreeing is one thing, but who goes is another.

That is the Fourth Progenitor.

The Fourth Progenitor who bloodied the high-ranking officials of Itogami Island and Nihon soil at the slightest disagreement, with an unpredictable temper.

If they went to make contact with the other party and something didn't look right, they might just be gone.

No one wants to die.

After knowing how dangerous this mission was, the ministers originally responsible for diplomacy chose silence in unison.

"Sigh, is it really like this."

Lucas, sitting above, sighed helplessly.

"Since no one is willing to go, then I will disguise myself and go make contact with the other party personally."

"Father, that is too dangerous."

Just as Lucas made his decision, a pleasant voice came from outside the hall.

Under everyone's gaze, a young girl wearing an exquisite military uniform and having long silver hair walked in.

"Let me be the diplomatic ambassador and go make contact with the Fourth Progenitor instead."

"Simply ridiculous!"

Lucas patted the armrest: "The Fourth Progenitor is so dangerous; how is you going any different from sending yourself to death!"

"Is there any difference if you go, Father?"

La Folia spoke bluntly: "The Fourth Progenitor was able to make the War King of Extinction take the initiative to form an allied army; his strength is imaginable."

"If the other party really wants to kill someone, can you guarantee you will survive, Father?"

"This......"

A complex expression appeared on Lucas's face.

To be honest, he didn't have that confidence.

"But even so, I cannot send you!"

As a veteran daughter-obsessed father, Lucas still insisted on his own position.

"Anyway, the danger is the same; it's better to let me, the King of Aldegia, go."

"If the status is high enough, the possibility of making contact and talking with the Fourth Progenitor is also greater."

"The high-ranking officials of Nihon might have thought the same when they surrendered."

La Folia calmly gave an example: "And then they were killed by the Fourth Progenitor."

Lucas: "......"

"Besides that, I don't agree that the danger is the same."

Seeing Lucas fall into silence, La Folia continued to talk about her own thoughts.

"I think you must have seen that intelligence, Father, the situation of the ten percent of Nihon's high-ranking officials who survived."

In terms of a contest of power, La Folia considered herself average, only able to fight within the scope of a spirit ability user.

But if it came to comparing looks, La Folia, known as the [Silver Princess], still had enough confidence.

If she went to make contact with the Fourth Progenitor, regardless of the outcome, at least there was a high probability she could survive.

"La Folia makes sense."

The Queen, who hadn't said much after giving her opinion earlier, also stood out at this time.

"Lucas, as the head of a country, you must remain calm; don't be stubborn at a time like this."

"Sigh~ fine, since you've all said so, then I'll listen to you."

Facing Polifonia's follow-up attack, Lucas couldn't insist on his own position anymore.

"Be careful, you must come back alive."
