Chapter 493: 493
Chapter 494-Slaughtering the Monster Tower
“How could you do this!”
After his wife and father-in-law quarreled, Kant and his sister-in-law began their fight.
Stella flew into a rage when she learned that Kant had already told everything to Madame Long.
She slammed the table hard and roared like a little lioness,”Why don’t you tell the whole world?” He actually told this to a dragon? This is a major event that concerns the fate of Goethe’s country. If the news is leaked, we will even attract the siege of the entire world!”
The Second Princess’s face was red and she looked very angry.
“Sir Ferndt and his apprentices are still locked up in the laboratory, not contacting anyone, just to keep this secret! And you actually used this matter to pick up girls?”
Kant felt a little awkward after being yelled at.
Stella didn’t know about the Fire Stealer, nor did she know that his relationship with Lily wasn’t just about the Dragon’s Oath. From her point of view, it was indeed a bit stupid.
Stella stared at him fiercely, panting, and then looked at Lily who was sitting lazily beside her.
Long Niang felt her gaze fall on her and instinctively looked back.
Lily had always been good at reading the eyes. When she was young, she had been quietly observing the attitude and likes and dislikes of the dragons towards her. After she became sensible, she slowly traced her father’s past through their eyes and attitudes. After she officially became an assassin, she used this ability to carry out better assassinations.
This kind of skill was like boxing, it was already instinctive.
As for Princess Goethe’s gaze, it was classic and playful. There was only 30% fear and 70% uneasiness in her eyes.
The fear and wariness were directed at her. They were probably afraid that she would spread the news back to the dragons. The uneasiness was directed at Kant. This was rather interesting.
In other words, the princess didn’t seem to be worried that she would leak the information to the dragons. This meant that she had a great deal of trust in Kant and acknowledged his judgment. Then, the problem was, since she acknowledged Kant’s judgment, she shouldn’t have lost her temper over him telling the information to a ” dragon “. However, she did lose her temper, and there was uncertainty and unease in her eyes.
What was she worried about?
Hehe.
Before Kant could explain himself, Lily started to stir up trouble.” And you actually used this to pick up girls. It seems that this is the main point.”
She slowly leaned to the side. Her tall figure dragged the table and twisted into a lazy bend as she leaned against Kant. Lily put one hand on Kant’s shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, she cast a threatening glance at the Second Princess.
” What do you think?” She reached out and nudged Kant’s chin. Her eyes darted around as she murmured,” Lend him to me for fun. I’ll keep your Goethe secret. How about that?” You guys didn’t lose out on this deal, right?”
Stella was stunned at first. Then she was so angry that her whole body was trembling and her hands and feet were cold. She said angrily,” Dissolute!”
“That’s you.” Lily straightened up. From the beginning to the end, she had a cold and indifferent expression. Long Niang looked at Princess Goethe and said disdainfully,” Humans, don’t use your short lives and lowly instincts to judge the noble long-lived species. Our lives are a hundred times longer than yours. Desire is only a small part of our lives. Compared to love, we value kinship and friendship more.”
” In fact, only short-lived races would think about mating all day long in order to continue the race, and try to link everything to love. This is a boring and interesting part of your race.”
“But it has nothing to do with me.”
” What I’m pursuing is to establish a strong and great relationship with Kant that you can’t imagine.”
” This doesn’t involve any love or lust. I’m not interested in this. Only you would value this superficial and instinctive so-called love and a fragile stick that can be broken with a pinch more than anything else. That thing is only compatible with humans. I don’t need it. You can keep it for yourself and use it with your sister.”
She stood up coolly and cast a proud glance at Kant, who was also dumbfounded. She lifted her chin.” Take care of her. Call me when you’re ready to discuss business.”
Then, she walked out of the tent.
Only Kant and Stella were left in the tent.
” What is she talking about?” The Second Princess was stunned for a moment before she flipped the table over.
” I don’t know,” Kant quickly comforted her.” Dragons and humans can’t understand each other. Just treat her as a lunatic, okay?” Really, you’re always saying strange things that I don’t understand.”
Horus whispered,” Father, you’re lying. You clearly understood. After Lily said those last few words, you must have thought,’Ah, so you want to play Wenai, right?”
“..”
Where the f * ck did you know this word from? What? Speak!
The rebellious child had been getting more and more rebellious recently, but Kant had no time to care about this rebellious child. Stella was obviously in a state of anger, and Lily’s anger before she left was a little scary.
He sighed and comforted her softly.” Alright, I admit it. It was my fault for telling her about this without discussing it with you. But I was caught red-handed by her as soon as I came back…”
Stella’s expression relaxed a little.
Horus cheered loudly. He actually managed to get to the main point of the question by accident!”
“Go back to the White Fog World!”
It was so hard. The rebellious son was very difficult to deal with, and he had to coax his wife’s sister.
Was this the hardship of a middle-aged man?
Kant explained in a sincere tone,” She was already suspicious at that time. She probably discovered the problem with the monsters when she was blocking the cave entrance. She also saw us go to watch the demonstration of the research results. After that, I disappeared for a long time. She obviously guessed something. So, we could only take a gamble.”
” Is that it?” Stella stared at him.” Is that it?”
Kant was silent for a moment.” That’s only one aspect,” he said.” On the other hand, my relationship with her…”
“You’re starting again!” shouted Iron Son.
Kant turned a deaf ear to her and continued,” My relationship with her is actually more complicated than you think. There’s a bit of history between us, and the details involve her privacy. I can’t tell anyone before I ask for her permission. It’s precisely because of this that I have a certain amount of expectations and trust in her. After considering all sorts of factors and judgments, I’ve decided to trust her for once. That’s all.”
The Second Princess lowered her eyes and fell silent for a moment. Then, she slowly exhaled.
“Yes,” she said softly.
Horus’s voice shook.” Huh?!???”
After a while, Stella whispered again,” Did you feel unhappy when I shouted at you just now?”
Kant was taken aback. He shook his head and said,” From your perspective, you don’t know about my relationship with her and the inside story. It’s such an important matter, and I told it to a dragon without discussing it with you. Of course, you would find it unacceptable. It’s only natural that you would be angry. It’s normal.”
“Is this how you lie to girls?” the Second Princess asked in a low voice.
– What? Can you use thinking in other people’s shoes to pick up girls?
Stella understood Kant’s surprised expression. The princess burst out laughing and sighed softly. I’m actually very afraid.”
” We fought against the elves and almost lost our country. We finally won, but things kept happening, especially this one. I don’t know what to do.”
” You said that Father and Tina quarreled. I understand their thoughts. Both of them understand that I want to use that new energy to make the country strong so that the other countries won’t dare to look down on and bully us anymore. However, I’m also afraid that the news will leak out. Goethe is at the center of the storm and will be crushed into pieces with a single step.”
” Sometimes, I think that we should just pretend that nothing has happened. After all, with you around, there won’t be any wars for a while. It’s not bad to recuperate and restore the people’s livelihood. But sometimes, I think that if you get tired of it and leave one day, what will we do?”
She sat on the chair and looked up at Kant.
The furious little lion had already disappeared.
Right now, she was like a golden retriever looking at her master with a gentle and pleading gaze.
“I understand the logic…” She said softly,” You can’t rely on others. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong. But this is easier said than done. No matter how hard Goethe tries, he can’t compete with the elves. What can we do? This mysterious new energy seems to be our only hope, but that’s just a facade. In the end, Kant, our only hope is still you…”
Her hand trembled slightly as she slowly grabbed Kant’s hand.
“So…” She whispered,” Don’t leave, okay?”
First, it was the elves, then the dragons. The Goethe people’s sense of crisis was constantly provoked.
Stella was different from Tina. She had not experienced the storms and disasters with Kant. She was only afraid and confused because she was worried about the country, the people, and her family, as well as the future.
Even…
Her heart was pounding in her chest. The princess ‘mouth was dry, her lips were trembling, and her face was burning. After a long time, she whispered,”If you…” If it was true…Then…”
The next moment, her hand was freed.
The girl looked up instinctively and saw Kant slowly squatting down in front of her.
“I’ve told you many times about his story.”
Kant said in a low voice,” You don’t believe that one person’s actions can change the fate of another person, or even change the fate of a country or a world, but it can be done. I told Tina that I still haven’t forgotten the night when Oakland died. I haven’t forgotten the roars of the Valentans. Of course, I haven’t forgotten the support that all the spellcasters in Lucerne had given me not long ago. Lily is right. There is more than just love in the world. Time will prove my words.”
” Time will prove everything, silly girl. You don’t have to use yourself to prove anything. Besides, what I want is a relationship where our hearts are connected and we are at peace, not an exchange based on benefits.”
“So…”
He reached out his hand and pinched Stella’s cheek. It was pink and tender, and it felt good.
“Don’t have such embarrassing thoughts anymore. I can’t bear it either.”
Then he stood up and looked at the time.” Let’s discuss the detailed plan in ten minutes, Stella. By the way, I need your permission this time.”
After whispering to Stella for a moment, the Fire Stealer left like the wind.
Only Goethe’s second princess was left sitting there in a daze, not moving at all.
After a long time, she slowly covered her face.
“Idiot.”
“Greedy,”she muttered softly.
After leaving the tent, Kant breathed in the fresh air and stretched his body against the sky.
“Chicken and duck talk.” Horus said,” People are different. Father, tell her about your deep friendship with Mr. Clevelandt, the shock and touch from Mayor Valentine, and the tacit understanding between you and the Goethe people. It’s all useless. It’s completely useless.”
” She looks like a very insecure person. The war has magnified her uneasiness. She doesn’t believe in those illusory things. She wants something that she can see and touch, something that can make her feel at ease and have something to rely on. Don’t you understand?”
” What’s the point of that?” Kant shook his head.
Horus was stunned. What do you mean?”
Kant did not answer. Hong San!”
” Yes!” After about ten seconds, Hong San quickly got into position.” Your Highness, did something big happen?”
“You guessed it again?” Kant squinted.
Hong San’s smile was unfathomable.” It all started from when Miss Lily walked into His Highness ‘tent with a solemn expression. After a long time, the two of you came out together, and His Highness Lily’s face was filled with joy…”
F * ck.
Are the female creatures around me a barometer in your eyes?
Kant had a complicated expression on his face. Alright, don’t force me. I’ll tell you directly.”
” This way please, Your Highness. I’ve already set up a soundproof room suitable for a private meeting.”
Hong San extended his hand.
Kant was surprised.
The smile of the people of Aurora was still gentle and reserved, like the winter sun.
“I know Your Highness won’t hide it from me.” He bowed and smiled.” As I expected, I’m honored.”
“.. Hong Xiu, I’ll give you a box of snacks later?”
” Your Highness, please don’t drink chicken soup for the time being.”
The two of them walked side by side, occasionally chatting and laughing. Kant reached out and punched Hong San’s shoulder. Two people with black hair and yellow skin walked through the campsite of the Investigation Corps. The guards and mages bowed to avoid them along the way. To the people of Aurora who could not easily distinguish the appearance of foreign races, the two of them were like brothers.
This was interesting.
Behind them, Stella slowly opened the curtain of the tent and watched the two of them leave side by side. A trace of confusion flashed through her eyes.
On the other side, Lily was also looking at Kant. She was motionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Ah Xing was beside her, staring at her.
Long Niang sensed the gaze from the side and shook her head. Kant had actually sent Ah Xing to keep an eye on her. He did not hide his intentions at all. He seemed to be on guard, but she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This fellow…How strange.
Moreover…
She glanced at Hong San again.
What was that feeling?
“I see.”
Hong San took about two minutes to digest the information after Kant finished.
“Really…It’s quite shocking.”
It was indeed quite shocking.
Something that could change the power of a country, or even the progress of an entire civilization.
He actually appeared so casually.
He glanced at Kant.
That mysterious energy could enhance the effects of elements and strengthen substances. It was indeed shocking. However, Hong San’s focus was not on this, but that this thing had actually appeared in Goethe.
It was because Kant was actually able to turn the new energy, which had such a huge side effect, harmless.
He frowned and pondered.
” What are you thinking about?” Kant asked.
Hong San said solemnly,” I’m thinking, this kind of unheard of magical energy has appeared out of nowhere, coincidentally in Goethe, and combined with Your Highness’s divine power. Is it because my lord is blessed and destined to achieve great things, or is it because there’s a terrifying almighty with unimaginable power plotting against you?”
Whether this thing was a cheat or a candy wrapped in poison, it was hard to say.
The latter was even more likely.
“What should we do when the army is at the city gates?” Kant said,” Whether it’s a gift from the demons or a blessing from the gods, we’ll talk about that later. The most important thing now is to find the dragons that are trapped in this place and seal off the news to prevent it from spreading and causing endless trouble.”
If Goethe had the secrets of this area and the underground, he would still have time and opportunity to consider whether to exploit it or seal it up and destroy it. However, if the news leaked out, it would not be up to Goethe.
When all the countries arrived, the overwhelming diplomatic pressure, economic pressure, political pressure, and even military pressure would be enough to suffocate Goethe.
Blocking the news meant that he could take the initiative.
“Understood.”
Hong San nodded and said,” However, this will not be easy. There are too many of those underground monsters, and they are difficult to hurt with swords. Even if we want to go deep underground, we will have to fight a tough battle. Even with the Scarlet Queen and the Dragon Clan’s young lady’s martial arts to open the way, it will be extremely difficult to advance. There are also many variables. Although Your Highness’s equipment is sharp, it will be difficult to use it in the complicated terrain and narrow, dark underground. Does Your Highness have a plan?”
“Yes, I was just looking for you to perfect it.”
Kant said,” First of all, it’s not wise to go deep underground and fight against groups of monsters. We have to avoid getting caught up in a stalemate with unfamiliar enemies in complex terrain. The way of war is to make the best use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. I want to think of a way to reduce their numbers before we go deep underground.”
” Furthermore, large-caliber weapons cannot be used underground, and small-caliber weapons are not powerful enough. If we want to increase the killing efficiency, we have to attack each other’s shield with each other’s spear. To put it simply, we have to use the mysterious energy to strengthen the ammunition. However, if we want to do this, we need more corpses to extract energy. However, doing so will require us to open the seal and fight against those large numbers of monsters, so…”
Kant could not help but laugh.
He suddenly thought of a set of pictures.

“So?” Hong San asked in surprise.
“So…” Kant took out a piece of paper and a pen.” Let’s build a monster grinding tower first.”
MC players were fearless.
