Casting spells

Since even the negotiated agreement can be violated, it is probably nothing to violate it again.

Because of that thing, once a direct conflict breaks out, the Shadow Guard cannot be the opponent of the parliament at all, so he hopes to have an external ally.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since the two boys are full of hostility and vigilance towards the council, they are naturally potential allies who can win cooperation...

The first thousand 370 chapters two internal contradictions

"Joint cooperation?"

A playful smile appeared on Luke's face, and he turned his head to look at his brother.

Because he felt that the reason why the other party put forward such a condition was probably because they didn’t know that the guy who also belonged to the Shadow Guard had already been dismantled and studied several times from the inside to the outside, and he was currently imprisoned in a In an airtight container.

"That's right! I believe you should know that the main power of Darente civilization is concentrated in the hands of the parliament. This situation has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and it has even become a customary rule similar to tradition. But in fact , Earlier, there were two parallel power systems, the parliament was only a subsidiary body responsible for managing the lower classes, and we were the ones who really controlled the power."

While saying these words, the face of the leader of the shadow guard showed strong unwillingness and resentment.

Especially the two eyes, both empty and lifeless, as if caught in the ancient memories of the past.

"So... you want to use the two of us to return to the center of power, at least the periphery of the center of power, and try to make a comeback?" The boy took the initiative to take the topic.

He could feel the fire of desire burning in the heart of the other party.

This is by no means a trap and deceitful tactic, but a real strong dissatisfaction with the parliament.

Although he didn't understand what differences, contradictions, or problems left over from history had arisen among the Darentes, it didn't prevent him from using this to achieve his ulterior motives.

The leader of the Shadow Guard nodded bluntly: "Yes! Maybe you don't know yet, those guys in the council have secretly established a research center, trying to figure out the secret of the dark blue liquid in the crystal body day and night. According to me As far as we know, they have successfully weaponized it and intend to use it against both of you."

"arms?!"

Luke's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard the word, and he subconsciously clenched the silver pendant hanging around his neck.

The boy undoubtedly noticed this subtle movement, and a trace of longing and greed flashed in his eyes, and he continued to ask: "Why? Why did you choose to betray your own race and cooperate with us?"

"The reason is very simple! I believe you have read the history of the Darente, and you understand that there is a watershed in our history. Before it was the era of theocracy, and then it was the era of magic. Unfortunately, the Shadow Guard is a legacy of the era of theocracy. Although we have great power, from the moment we were born, we were doomed to curl up in a dark corner and protect the entire civilization in obscurity. No matter how great sacrifices we make and how many threats we eliminate, we will never be able to gain power , wealth and glory. Remember, this situation lasted not for a day or two, nor for a year or two, but for thousands of years. If it were you, what would you do?" The leader of the shadow guard meaningful rhetorical question.

As a saying goes, time is the cruelest and most ruthless thing in this world.

It can make the noble man mean, and the kind man cruel.

Nothing can be eternal, especially the complex inner world.

Perhaps the earliest members of the Shadow Guard at the beginning of its establishment were indeed willing to sacrifice themselves and silently guard the war-torn civilization.

However, with the rapid development of the Darente's knowledge, technology, and power, those who joined later were no longer voluntary, but with a certain compulsive nature. Coupled with the long-term isolation from the world, it is inevitable that they will become depressed. More and more distorted, more and more angry, more and more unwilling.

It was discovered that the two sides have long been in the same situation. Although they still maintain cooperation on the surface, they are only a step away from turning their faces into enemies.

"I see... I think I understand." A thoughtful expression appeared on the boy's face. "But I still have a question. Since you have such a powerful force, why don't you directly launch a coup and fight for your own rights?"

"Hahahaha! That's a good question! It's not that we don't want to launch a coup, it's that the council has a powerful magic item, and this magic item is our natural enemy. The members lost all their strength and became lambs at the mercy of others." The leader gave the answer with a big smile.

"So the real purpose of your cooperation with us is to seize or destroy this magic item?"

Luke seemed to understand the real intention of the other party's cooperation, and exchanged a look with his brother while rubbing his chin.

But unfortunately, the latter shook his head calmly and rejected his silent topic.

The leader of the Shadow Guard discovered the communication between the two, and immediately broke it down with a sneer: "Don't waste your efforts! If you want to seize that magic item to control us, it is absolutely whimsical. Let's not talk about the use of this magic item. The method is only known to the previous Speakers, just restricting the fact that only Darente can activate it will make you give up your unrealistic illusions."

"Oh? If that's the case, then what's the benefit to both of us by cooperating with you? Why should we risk our lives to return to the control of the Darentes?" Luke questioned unceremoniously.

"Isn't it enough to help you get rid of the endless pursuit?" Another member of the Shadow Guard retorted.

"Not enough! Of course not enough! This universe is so vast and boundless, and there are civilizations stronger than the Darentes, so it's not too difficult to get rid of you." The boy began to bargain blankly.

Although he had made up his mind a long time ago, he had to go back and take back what belonged to him no matter what.

"Then what do you want?" the leader of the Shadow Guard cautiously asked.

"It's very simple! I want you to help me decipher the secrets recorded in that stone pillar! Everything! Nothing is hidden!" The boy made the condition without thinking.

But before the leader gave the same or no answer, one of the shortest members of the shadow guard couldn't help jumping out and scolding: "Dream! That's a taboo for the Darente, let alone you, even It is the speaker of the current parliament, and he is not qualified to know the content recorded above."

"Taboo? I'm most interested in taboos! Either give me what I want and I'll help you destroy that magic item, or become an enemy and continue this endless hunt. Believe me, it won't take long, you guys You will find out who is the hunter and who is the prey. Don't forget, we are still young and have unlimited room for improvement..."

The first thousand and 370 chapters of the enemy's enemy are friends

"Boss! You can't promise them! You know, only our shadow guards have the qualifications to read and keep the content on the origin stone pillar. In addition, anyone who tries to interpret it, no matter who is objective, will become our immortal endless enemies."

"Shut up! It's not your turn to tell the leader what to do!"

"What do you mean? Do you want to break the oath you made?"

"No! I'm just tired of these endless responsibilities and obligations!"

"That's right! It's time to make a change! This time we are for ourselves, so that we will no longer be enslaved."

…………

There is no doubt that for the Darente, the stone pillar in the center of the dark lake is absolutely supreme.

That's why the boy mentioned it, which immediately sparked a fierce dispute within the Shadow Guard.

On the one hand, it has followed the tradition and heavy responsibility for thousands of years, and on the other hand, it is related to the vital interests of everyone.

Often at this time, the ugliness in human nature can be seen more.

In just a few minutes, they were divided into two different factions, and they stared at each other with swords drawn, as if a life-and-death battle would start in the next second.

Seeing this scene, Luke couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and said to the brothers around him through sign language: "Good job!"

"No! I didn't do this, but they have always had internal problems. What I did was to amplify these differences." The boy also responded silently with sign language.

While the two were secretly communicating in private, the leader of the Shadow Guard finally couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Enough! What do you want to do? Are you planning to kill each other and make the bastards in the council laugh at you?"

"But……"

"No but! Remember your own identity and position!"

The leader glared viciously at his subordinates who were trying to continue arguing, turned around and took a deep breath and said, "I can satisfy your request! But the premise is that you must let me see the magic item first, and then you will use it. I will tell you how to interpret those symbols."

The boy nodded slightly: "Yes! It's fair! Now, you can tell your plan."

"My plan is very simple! As you two continue to flee, it is best to help the inhabitants of this planet build a strong resistance force, and then seize the opportunity to severely damage the expeditionary force controlled by the parliament. In this way Come, we can develop our forces in the dark and revive the power flowing in the blood of the Darente. When the parliament finds out, it will be too late to reverse the situation. At that time, we will cooperate with each other to play a show, let the shadow The guards successfully captured both of you..."

The leader's plan is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple and old-fashioned.
