Advanced NPC

Chapter 138

Hathaway stood in the center of the hall, her expression changed from the panicked look just now, and she was smiling, calm and confident.

Sirul raised his eyebrows, realizing something.

I always feel that the temperament of this little girl is a little different all of a sudden.

Was that just... pretending?

"Not long ago, another son of the king of the Silver Empire, Shirhai, died. He was probably murdered by his brother - the reason was that he was trying to compete with the Black Prince for something, I thought it was the throne, but now it seems , It’s not that simple.” Hathaway smiled, “Because their struggle involves the goblins, as well as you.”

"so what?"

"You said that the dwarves are here to protect themselves - the ambition of the black prince makes you uneasy."

Shirou was silent.

"Ambition, how much ambition does it have to allow him to extend his hand to other races and decide his throne by the survival of other races? In other words, where does he get the power from?" Hathaway asked back.

"Who knows..."

"The goblins know." Hathaway pretended to be naive, and what she said was as cold as a blade, "They knew one thing from thousands of years ago, so Finger, the goblin king, had some worries with the original silver land thousands of years ago. The member, Jerosa, signed a contract to provide a lost goblin land, disguised as the taboo demon temple most familiar to the Hitt brothers and sisters, and guarded a seal for the ethereal Jerosa."

Hathaway has been ignoring some things.

Black Prince, why can you, and why do you want to target the goblins?

Does the domestic power struggle really involve the race with the Millennium Covenant?

Obviously, the black prince's ambition is related to the protection of silver, and the elves know something.

They hold a secret that has led them to be hunted down by humans today.

"Patriarch Xilu, come and listen to my deduction, right?" Hathaway said softly, "What secrets does the goblin clan hold? I don't know how to start with this question, because I haven't had any contact with today's high-level goblin clan. , so let me rephrase the question - who and what is Fingley doing for?"

"Of course I am..." the angry Finger was about to speak.

Hathaway gave it a warning look.

Fingley: "..."

Just shut up.

"Of course it is helping Jerosa. What is Jerosa doing? False, in order to become a phantom, she used half of the phantom power as a medium during the phantom process, and at the same time created a seal, turning the purple phantom Half of the power has been fixed." Hathaway continued, "I don't know the purpose of what you said, 'Phantom is the seal', but you are changing the concept secretly. Phantom... Although the name is very powerful, But in fact, it is a special kind of phantom spirit, it is life, as I said just now, it is an unstable existence, with different abilities and different forms. However, I don't know what state they are at this time, It can only be understood that they are wandering in Hiranvia.

"In addition, the source of the phantom's silver protection power, so can this be understood as if mastering the phantom's power, you can master the power of silver protection?
"Silver protection is the key to the ruling order of this continent - this equation has now become... whoever can control the phantoms can control the order of Hiranvia."

The ambition of the Black Prince—I'm afraid it's not, is to "control the order of Hiranvia."

Sirul sat up straight again.

Hathaway stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Go on." Siru waited for a while, but couldn't wait for her to continue, so he said, "You haven't finished talking—what does this have to do with the secrets known by the goblins?"

Hathaway raised his eyes and glanced at him, with a delicate expression, and moved his fingers lightly before continuing: "Gerosa tried to control a phantom, established a seal, and succeeded-then, Fingoli, tell the truth ——Does the contract you established with Jerosa require you to..."

She paused: "Prevent King Hitt and those who support him from discovering the Lost Fairy Land."

The ruins are very hidden, located in the ancient forest - to be precise, it is not the territory of the human race, it can only be noticed by people of other races.

The purpose of Jerosa's doing that was to control a phantom, and after sealing it, naturally, no one would be able to "completely" gather other phantoms to achieve the goal of controlling Hiranvia.

Just think about it—"Who would have such an unbelievably ambitious ambition?" You can guess who Jerosa is defending against.

Obviously, not everyone knows that the phantom's power is a silver protective pillar—at least as far as Hathaway herself is concerned, what she knows is only superficial.

Very ironic "surface".

——The only people who can know this layer and truly have this ability are the members of the original Silver Land.

Among these people, those who have the greatest ambition to control order and have a "not so good reputation", Hathaway will only think of King Hitt.

"...Didn't you guess it?" Fingoli touched his nose, feeling a little emotional, "Back then, Jerosa was desperate and couldn't trust other people, so she could only ask the Phantom Spirits for help."

As a race that had never participated in the creation of the Silver Protection, the Phantom Spirits would lose their cool once Human King Hitt truly controlled the Silver Protection.

There is no longer even the right to speak.

This is obviously the original intention of Fingeri in agreeing to Jerosa.

"The Black Prince...should have known about this." Hethaway said slowly, "I don't know what that Prince Hill Sea thinks, maybe he wants to prevent the Black Prince from doing the same thing as King Hitt. things, or want to replace the black prince and become the one who controls phantoms—but at least, this is the reason why the human race is attacking the goblins."

"I see." Siru paused, "Indeed."

This point - as the patriarch of the dwarves, he can confirm it.

Hathaway's expression didn't improve, she looked at Xilu: "Patriarch Xilu, there is something I want to ask you for advice."

"Say."

"You used me to find Doruma, why?"

Shirou was silent.

"You told me about Gerosa, let me discover her story and her identity, and led me to continue digging that ancient ruin, why?"

"After I gained the power of phantom, you deliberately put all the responsibility on me, trying to make me think that I have shaken the silver protection. Why?"

Perhaps at the beginning of the establishment of Silver Protection, people's hearts were just to avoid the disaster brought by the Destroyer Demon God. What about after a thousand years?
To control the silver protection, is it for Hiranvia...or for her own race?

"I used to think that the peace of Hiranvia was necessary, and everyone was working hard for it. It was just that King Hitt was ambitious and intended to take advantage of all of this." Hethaway closed her eyes, took a deep breath, Slowly opened again—the dark green eyes were like a deep pool and unfathomable, "But I was wrong, you all have your own ambitions, and it doesn't matter which race you are in."

What she once believed in was shattered.

But at this time, the destruction was even more thorough.

When she "died," she thought for a moment that someone had gone mad.

When she was "accused" by Xilu, she felt that the whole continent was crazy.

But now she feels that the mainland may be normal, but her thinking is too naive.
