Chapter 891: Take the initiative
In Henry's eyes, both the earth and the Faeron continent are the same, there is no so-called good and evil, only the conflict of ideas and the distribution of interests are the eternal themes of the struggle.
As the saying goes, justice is nothing but the prerogative of the victors, who can whitewash their greedy, ugly faces with propaganda. Time can cover up a lot of things, and when more than 90 percent of the population begins to forget the pain and devastation caused by strife, a new round of war will break out.
If you look closely at the history of the continent of Faeron, you will find that war and peace, good and evil, like the two goddesses of creation, Shar and Suren, are intertwined, and neither can truly defeat the other.
Because in essence, they are not very different, there is darkness in the light, and there is also light in the darkness, so as long as there are two intelligent beings with independent minds in this world, then the struggle will never stop, and it will accompany the birth of the universe to its destruction.
"The Lord of Shadows is above! You're just a madman! I'm starting to regret participating in your program a little bit now! It is conceivable that the whole thing will definitely go out of hand in the end......" Arcanis was visibly shocked, his eyes widened, and he muttered to himself.
He originally thought that good and evil were the embodiment of human nature, and he didn't dare to imagine that he could consciously manipulate it.
There is no doubt that from the perspective of a normal person, this mental state of forcibly controlling and changing one's way of thinking is definitely a bit crazy, and it is also very dangerous.
After listening to the words of the legendary thief, Henry laughed and stood up, looking out the window at the view. Explained in a rather excited tone: "Crazy? Maybe that's right. Some of the ideas in my head are really crazy. But this time...... It certainly won't get out of hand this time. All the qiē was planned, and I wouldn't even cross the other party's bottom line. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked, "You know what?" Actually, my original idea was to start a bloody storm in Port Carlin and kill the current ruler, Serge Pasha. Lalan, followed by teasing all the nobles and starting to fight each other for power, although the magic talisman will control about half of the noble families, but the other half is in a state of disorder. I can do it before the other person reacts. Bring these people together to form an evenly matched rivalry, and finally force them to submit with absolute force. ”
Arcanis gasped for this highly feasible plan, put down the plate in his hand, and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I must express my sincerest apologies, you are not crazy, this title is an insult to you, those scholars should invent a word for you." Tell me, what made you change your mind? ”
Kalinsan was originally a country full of intrigues, he could almost imagine it. The consequences of the complete division of the aristocracy into two factions could well mean decades of devastating war. And if there is no victory, the country will be split in half, and blood and death will be enough to cause a blood feud between the nobles, and it will never be possible to gain unity again.
"Hahahaha! Man, I love your sense of humor. Since you want to know why, it doesn't hurt to say it. What made me change my mind was none other than the large population. As the most prosperous and densely populated area in the entire Faren continent, it would be a pity if it was destroyed by war, so I think it would be better to negotiate and solve it. Also, impersonating Artemis these days. How does Ntreuri feel? Is there an urge to disappoint yourself completely? A hint of curiosity flashed across Henry's face as he spoke.
He knew very well that the legendary thief in front of him had always been known for his self-discipline and restraint, especially in the execution of tasks, he never acted emotionally, he did not let go of the one who should be killed, and he would not die even if the other party resisted with a weapon.
In order to continue to delve into the hearts of intelligent beings, the orders he gave in the past few days were very vague, just to see how the other party dealt with them.
The results were astonishing!
Arcanis, who seems to be sticking to the bottom line, not only kills all the enemies that can be seen, but also enjoys the enemy's incredulous expression before he dies, which is to use a technical word to describe it as a complete enjoyment of killing, which is diametrically opposed to the efficient and ruthless appearance of Xiàn before.
Henry found this phenomenon very interesting, so he planned to try to see if he could release his inner self and completely transform one's personality. If you succeed, you may be able to dig into the corners of the bloody head, after all, legendary thieves are a scarce resource, especially if they are so principled.
Arcanis obviously didn't understand the sinister intentions, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It's okay, the feeling of not being restrained is a bit special, as if it is a freewheeling indulgence that can bring spiritual pleasure." As for Ntreili, I've heard that he was a ruthless assassin, and in terms of personality and style, the two of us were not much different. ”
"No, as far as I know, you are much different from him, there is no similarity in terms of upbringing, combat skills, or way of thinking, and you are completely a person who lives in two worlds. First of all, he came to Port Carlin at the age of nine, stood out among the gangsters, managed to occupy a street, and at the age of fourteen he successfully joined the strongest guild of the time, and became the right hand of the guild master in just a few years. ”
Speaking of this, Henry paused, smiled and pointed at the legendary thief and asked, "And you?" Born in the Shadow Thieves Guild, grew up in the Shadow Thieves Guild, and even received the key training of the guild, he has always been loyal to his organization. In a way, he's more like a lone wolf, and you're the strongest of the pack. Lone wolves, though more dangerous, can never be a match for wolves. So in my eyes, you are ten times stronger than Entrili. ”
With the two being equal, it is impossible to defeat an opponent with a team alone, and this is an obvious truth, and most of the upper echelons can tell the difference with little to no consideration.
"It's a great honor to receive your compliment, I ......"
Before Arcanis could finish his words, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open, followed by Vahid Xing rushing in and shouting, "Boss! What's New! Someone is spreading the feud between the Sharp Tooth and the Night Thief Guild, and both are now extremely nervous, and a little flame can detonate the underground forces of the entire Port Carlin. Opportunity! The opportunity you've been waiting for is coming soon! ”
"Hahaha! Do you hear that, my friend? An all-out guild war is about to begin, and it's your mission to ignite it with your own hands. Go ahead, start with the Sharp Tooth Guild, the beasts have always been more impulsive, but be careful, don't kill too much, we need to keep the balance and let this fight continue until they fall apart completely. After saying that, Henry's eyes reflected a cosmic projection, and the whole person looked mysterious and terrifying.
Arcanis, who has always belonged to the action faction, directly moved his muscles and bones, smiled and nodded: "Understood! I promise they'll be fighting before it gets dark. ”
As soon as the words fell, he turned around sharply, instantly disappeared into the shadows, and completely disappeared without a trace.
Witnessing the legendary thief's amazing hiding methods, Wahid's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What a terrible stealth skill!" He...... Who is he?! ”
Henry glanced at Arcanis's movements, smiled mysteriously and replied, "He is a powerful ally, and as for the name, it is not the time to sue you." Prepare a wagon after dark, and I'm going to talk to another ally. Remember, try to keep a low profile. ”
"No problem, I'll go and prepare." Wahid answered, and was about to turn to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and said: "Oh, by the way, there is another thing worth noting, the people of the Camel Guild suddenly became quiet, you better be prepared, I bet they will definitely make a big move in the next few days, maybe the target is us." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, their target is definitely not us, but the black sail next door. Wait and see, it won't be long before the four most powerful guilds in Port Carlin will be fully launched, and the small guilds around them will all stand in line, and when they divide their camps, we will be the only third party, an important weight that can make the balance unbalanced, and just play the drama of betrayal twice can make these guys lose a lot. Now go and prepare the carriage, and when one of the most important pieces is in place tonight, the big show will begin. With that, a meaningful smile appeared on Henry's face.
In fact, ever since learning about the Camel Guild, Nurman has been a key part of the whole plan. This ambitious man longs for power and wants to get rid of the control of the sand thieves, and he takes a fancy to this, so he doesn't hesitate to push it.
You must know that for the Camel Guild, Nurman's role is like the heart, responsible for making the entire guild run like blood, and he also has a lot of information, especially the location of the sand pirates.
After all, no matter how ferocious the robber is, he is also a human being, he needs to eat, drink, and rest in a place where he can hide from the sun, and there are obviously not many such places in the desert, so as long as he gets the refuge of this guy, it is equivalent to digging the foundation of the sand bandits, and winning victory is completely a matter of course.
After getting along for such a long time, Wahid simply admired the brains of his boss, and all the seemingly impossible things happened, and they came so quickly that people were caught off guard.
But now he was mentally prepared, and patted his chest hard: "Don't worry, boss, I will always follow you to witness this miracle, no matter what the final result is, we will be the most dazzling guild in the history of Port Carlin." ”
After saying that, the middle-aged man with a meaty face licked his lips, rushed out of the room, and walked straight to the tavern on the first floor. All he wanted to do at the moment was to calm his excitement with a glass of the strongest wine, so that he could continue to keep a cool head and assist the guild leader in making the right judgment in time. (To be continued......)
