Attack on Mindless Giant

Chapter 160 Knowing the destiny

The atmosphere in the northern port of Marais is a bit subtle.

Jake is as stable as an old dog on the surface, but he has begun to feel timid in his heart.

In front of him, almost all the people standing were his old friends and faces, which made him feel like he was back two years ago.

Nothing changed, he was still tied up and thrown to the ground without dignity.

From the moment he came into contact with them, Jike found that he had never won once, and some of them were defeated badly.

Today's plan has been laid out for a long time and planned carefully, and it is already impeccable.

Aiming at several points where problems may arise, error-proof measures have also been arranged. I never thought that in the end, I would still lie here.

This can't help but make him feel dazed: maybe cooperating with Jiang Luo is the ultimate way.

"I am willing to cooperate with you and help you capture Marais!"

Jike thought to himself: at least he still has value.

He is not only the owner of the king's blood, but also a former high-ranking official in Marais. Due to reason, these guys from Parady Island will always get the benefits they need from him.

With interests, there is room for cooperation.

Jiang Luo didn't turn back into a human body. He squatted down and lowered his head slowly: "Cooperation? What capital do you have to cooperate with us?"

Jike squeezed out a smile: "I'll tell you about Marley, and I can help you activate the power of the ancestor giant."

Jiang Luo looked away, looked at Almin, then at the crowd, then nodded slightly: "Okay, now we want to know about that Duanmu Hong."

Jake paused for a moment, feeling slightly entangled in his heart, as if he had made some difficult decision, he nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you everything I know."

"This Duanmu Hong, I don't know when he started, but he has been behind Marai's backstage. If Duanmu Qiu was not born, no one would know that there is such a person."

According to the information Jike has, Duanmu Hong can be regarded as an outlier.

Looking at the entire history of the Marais family, there is no nobleman with the surname Duanmu, which also means that the Duanmu family is not a relative of the emperor, at least not related to the king of the Marais Empire.

Not only that, for so many years, there are only two people with the surname Duanmu in the entire empire.

According to Jike's secret investigation, at least four or fifty years ago, the surname Duanmu already existed.

So many years have passed and passed down to the present, there are only Duanmu Hong and Duanmu Qiu, and the population is not prosperous.

After Duanmuqiu was born in the sky, succeeded the Warhammer giant and made the prince a duke, this lonely surname finally entered people's field of vision.

They are too mysterious, even Duanmuqiu is a supernatural being, like a sudden rise of nouveau riche, but also a low-key rich man.

However, with Jike's in-depth investigation, he found that the rise of the Duanmu family was definitely not a nouveau riche. After in-depth investigation of various famous families and nobles, they can find that they respect the surname Duanmu.

Even the king of the Marais Empire cannot do without the shadow of Duanmu.

To be precise, the Duanmu family was only in the dark in the past, and it was not until these years that they gradually became known to ordinary people.

Of course, this is not the point that puzzles Jike the most. The point that puzzles him the most is: Duanmu Hong seems to be alive all the time.

After verifying with an old nobleman, I got a terrible fact: Duanmu Hong has existed since 50 years ago.Or, earlier!
Moreover, his appearance did not seem to have changed, and he always looked like a man in his prime.

This person is so mysterious that he has almost never shown his face. Except for a few core personnel who have met him once, no one else has even heard of such a person.

Under such concealed conditions, he has been wandering in the high-level of Marley, and after a long period of infiltration, he is almost rooted in the high-level of the entire Marley Empire.

"He is the real king of Marais!" the old nobleman once said.

After the investigation, Jake couldn't continue the investigation.The entire empire is intricate, and in the end it all vaguely points to this mysterious person.

It's a pity that except for these, Jike found out everything, until Duanmuqiu appeared a few years ago.

After Duanmuqiu inherited the Warhammer Giant, Zeng Jin was very high-profile, but in the end he disappeared for unknown reasons. The Duke of Duanmu, who was famous like a thunder, rarely showed up and rarely took action until he went to Parady Island to capture the ancestor giant. Get in touch with Jike and others thoroughly.

"But!" Jake finally said, "I didn't know until now that he is actually a giant of wisdom!"

After finishing speaking, Jike was still a little unbelievable: "Maybe we are all wrong, there should be ten giants of wisdom in the world!"

The rumors of the Nine Giants originated from thousands of years ago.

At that time, the written materials were not yet complete, and few materials have been passed down from that time to the present. Moreover, due to years of wars and giants ravaging the land, a large number of countries were destroyed. The inheritance of materials is naturally broken, and all that remain Oral legends.

Maybe after the ancestor Ymir, there were not nine giants, but ten giants, one of them was mysterious and unpredictable, and it was forgotten only after disappearing.

After Jike's explanation, everyone in the survey corps nodded and accepted it.Only Jiang Luo knew what was going on.

"When Duanmu Hong came here, he was a Wugou giant just like me!" Jiang Luo thought to himself, "It's just that he chose to be a Wugou giant all the time, and he didn't have the power to devour a giant."

The benefits of this are obvious.

First, he will not be limited by the 13-year lifespan.As Jake said, this guy has probably been lurking in Marais for decades!With his strength, wouldn't it be easy to devour the power of several giants?The reason why he didn't do this was to maintain his innocent body and become a truly immortal body.

Second, he discovered the true usage of the indefinite body.After shrinking, it is basically no different from humans, and it is much stronger than ordinary humans. At the level of humans, it is a real dimensionality reduction blow.After mastering random transformation and language, Wugou's physical body is much more fragrant than the wisdom giant!
Thinking about it now, probably before Duanmu Hong came to this world, he had experienced the same thing as Jiang Luo.

At this moment, Jiang Luo even wondered if the cave under the Dashui waterfall on Paradis Island was the place where Duanmu Hong once stayed.

Their early experiences were too similar. Maybe Duanmu Hong was also a master at playing with mud, and he also made a human body for himself.Only later, in order to complete the mission, Jiang Luo completed the devouring of Allen and became a wise giant.

The trajectory of life is completely forked.

Jiang Luo thought of the giant mad dog. If Duanmu Hong was really the owner of the cave, then the giant mad dog would definitely know him. In other words, Duanmu Hong was the previous owner of the giant mad dog.

Unfortunately, he set off in a hurry and sneaked out from the island.Moreover, the mad dog giant couldn't undo the giantization. On the land of Marai, the target was too obvious, and Jiang Luo didn't call the mad dog giant.

None of this is known now.

Jiang Luo remembered that Duanmu Hong had asked him before: how many years was the original world.

Thinking about it now, he must have traveled to decades, or even hundreds of years ago. He lived alone in this era for many years, so he lamented the time and felt that he would forget the original era.

The wind in the North Port blew Jiang Luo's hair, and his third eye became more and more obvious.

Jike finished talking about Duanmu Hong he knew, then raised his head and looked at Jiang Luo: "How is it? What else do you want to know?"

Everyone in the Survey Corps looked at each other, and Armin said indifferently: "Then you cooperate with us, what do you want?"

"Um..." Jike was speechless for a moment.

Of course he wants something, but what he wants, the Survey Corps will definitely not agree to.

"What?" Almin was a little puzzled, "Are you planning to help us for free? This doesn't seem to be called cooperation?!"

Cooperation since ancient times means that we have a common goal and each takes what we need.

Jike wants to cooperate but doesn't want benefits, which makes people start to doubt.

"Um," Jike said seriously, "I want you to rescue the Eldians in the Marais Empire!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

What he said was actually not against his will. His lifelong ambition, like Allen, was to save the race of Aldia.But the curse of the earth demon has firmly trapped every Eldian, and the intricate roads have covered the entire sky. How easy is it to save everyone?
All he could think of was for the Eldians to disappear from this world, dissipate forever with the power of the Titans, and the curse would end.

It's just that this set of rhetoric can scare the Survey Corps, but it cannot scare Jiang Luo.

"Puff!" Jiang Luo suddenly laughed out loud, looking particularly abrupt in the serious atmosphere.

Especially since he still maintains a giant body and has not lifted the giantization, this laughter is even more treacherous.

"What are you laughing at?" Jike looked sullen.

"I laugh at you talking nonsense with your eyes open!" Jiang Luo snorted coldly, "I know why you want to cooperate with us."

"?"

"Don't think that no one knows about your sterilization plan!"

As soon as the word sterilization was uttered, Jike's short-sighted eyes widened even further, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"you you."

For a moment, I couldn't speak, and only one sentence was in my mind: How did he know?
This plan was deeply rooted in his brain, and he never said to anyone, how could there be another person in this world who knew about it except himself!

"What sterilization plan?" Almin and the others were also at a loss, but seeing Jike's shocked face, they understood that Jiang Luo had poked Jike's weakness.

"Such an unreliable plan, you can only think of it, Jike Yeager." Jiang Luo did not answer Almin's question, but continued to say to Jike, "It's not even as good as your brother .”

The two brothers of Yeager's family are holding back their big moves in the bottom of their hearts and using each other.

"Then what's your opinion?" Jike asked back, looking a little excited.

Jiang Luo was silent and did not answer.

He really didn't know.

Having been in Marais for several days, he saw a huge gulf between the races.

The Eldians do the hardest and most tiring work, but have the fewest resources.Physical poverty is not the most terrible thing, but psychological poverty is the most terrible thing.

They have been completely brainwashed, and they have admitted their sins from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that they were born with original sin.

In fact, both Alan and Jike were right: as long as the power of giants still exists in this world for a day, the Eldians will not have a bright future.

But now, Jiang Luo has been involved in this game. It is precisely because of his intervention that the original world line has undergone tremendous changes. He has become the key to Jike and Allen's plan.

But when it comes to saving the Eldians, he has never thought about it at all.

A large part of the reason why he can come here today is that he was pushed here.

That inexplicable system led him from confusion into the vortex of struggle, and then quietly disappeared. In order to keep himself, he had to do so.

"Perhaps." Jiang Luo suddenly thought, "I came to this world just to solve this problem?"

He seemed to grasp something: "But, what am I going to do?"

This problem is so difficult that even the old thief Isayama himself can’t grasp it.He opened up such a huge pit, and finally threw a lump out amidst everyone's expectations.

What even the author of the original work can't handle, actually fell on his own head?

Jiang Luo was in a daze.

Seeing Jiang Luo's uncertain face and speechlessness, Jike snorted coldly: "I thought you had some real insights~"

"Hehe." Jiang Luo spoke, "Although I don't have any great ideas, I won't be so stupid as to let everyone die!"

The atmosphere became delicate again.

The wind in the North Port blew loudly, and everyone in the Survey Corps had no idea what the two were talking about.

"How about." Almin suggested, "Let's take him to the island and discuss whether we can cooperate?"

Han Ji also nodded.

Such an important matter should indeed be decided by the Royal Political Council.

"Then it's decided like this!" Almin said, going up to catch Jike, "Let, you put a signal flare to notify the airship!"

The airship has been circling nearby, just to return with a full load.

Jean nodded, took out a flare from his pocket, raised his right hand, and was about to pull the trigger.

"Jiang Luo, what are you doing!"

Suddenly, a slightly frightened voice sounded.

Everyone looked back, only to see Jiang Luozheng grabbing Jake.

The moment the bodies touched, the road opened, and one after another lights appeared in the sky. Jiang Luo felt the grotesque worm on the back of his neck start to stir again.

Jiang Luo raised his head and looked at the sky.

There was nothing there, but his eyes were staring, as if he saw something extraordinary. At the same time, the hand that grabbed Jike began to lift up, moving to the top of his mouth.

"Jiang Luo!" Armin trembled all over, knowing Jiang Luo's thoughts, "No!"

At this time, Jike finally became flustered. He struggled and roared loudly: "Jiang Luo! Don't forget, I have royal blood flowing on my body! Without me, you can't open the coordinates!"

"Sorry, you're not the only one now!"

Jiang Luo said, and let go of his hand.

"Ah!!!" Jike roared like crazy and fell into Jiang Luo's mouth.

The jaw joint exerted force, and there was a click, and blood gushed out.
