Artluqi breathed a sigh of relief, but did not show it. Instead, she spoke in a rather cold and arrogant manner.
By now, she was already quite confident that Victor would win even if the fight continued.
"no need."
Hearing this, the Black Wing Prince turned to Altluki and explained calmly: "That attitude, that strength, and even the confidence in that look."
"Your Highness, they are so similar."
"Hmph, Your Highness, you who do not know what death is may never understand that the souls in this world are carried by birds and then enter reincarnation."
"And everything in this world is a cycle."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Victor, who had just been gritting his teeth and turning his wrists because of overdrawn energy, was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Your words are easy to be misunderstood."
Soul, reincarnation.
It sounded as if the Black Wing Duke's words were saying that he was like Zhu Yue's reincarnation, but he knew that this was not what the other party meant.
It refers to the similarity of the whole incident -
Since everything that happened before is so similar, the subsequent developments will naturally be similar.
It was like a huge reincarnation, reproducing everything that happened yesterday.
Even if he continued to fight, he would have a feeling that he would lose sooner or later. It was an intuition that came from his spirituality.
After catching up on some knowledge of divination, Victor knew very well that the higher the level of mystery, the more reliable the spiritual intuition.
His confidence also comes from this, and he feels that he can win.
This trend is actually a reminder that when life and death are at stake, we naturally need to fight hard to prevent the situation from going in the corresponding direction as intuitively expected.
But since this was not a matter of life or death, Duke Black Wing simply let things take their course and accepted the final outcome.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
"what?"
Victor just wanted to ease the atmosphere casually, but he didn't expect to receive a serious response from the Black Wing Prince.
He turned around and saw the Black Wing Prince's scarlet eyes looking at him, then he slowly knelt on one knee -
"Any dead apostle who returns from that era will surely understand the difference between you and him."
“And this is what I want to declare to you.”
Hearing the other party's serious words, Victor nodded slightly and his expression became serious.
He thought the other party was going to make a request, but then he noticed that although the Black Winged Prince was kneeling on one knee, his two wings were not placed on the ground with one hand on the ground and the other hand on the chest like the common knight's salute. Instead, his two wings were placed on both sides, quietly and vertically above the ground.
To be honest, this gesture is no longer the salute of a subordinate, but the salute of a servant.
Putting both hands on the ground indicates absolute obedience, which is similar to the ancient Chinese custom of keeping all four limbs on the ground.
"Newly born magus, there is only one ancient etiquette for losers, and that is death."
"Since you have defeated me, I am willing to obey and be at your mercy."
"But you should also know that you and that person are not different after all."
"That person's duel, let the heart live, in the name of death, intertwined with me, and finally recognized as reason, pardoned me, only then, I will willingly submit to it."
"And you, although your desire and domination are also a kind of recognition of me, I am willing to accept it, but you do not take recognition as a reason——"
What the other party said was complicated, but Victor understood it.
To put it simply, his fight with Zhu Yue was impromptu. He had no idea before the fight and simply wanted to kill the other person. But after the fight, Zhu Yue recognized him and he also recognized Zhu Yue. Therefore, he willingly surrendered and became a loyal dog for more than a thousand years.
But Victor is different. He is the kind of person who comes with a purpose, and the so-called recognition is also a "means" to achieve the purpose.
This is the biggest difference between him and Zhu Yue. Zhu Yue is actually more like Arteluqi, more casual and not so utilitarian.
Then why don't you just say that I don't have enough charisma?
Victor smiled helplessly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "So?"
"I will not break my promise. If you defeat me, I will let you do whatever you want."
"My life will belong to you from now on, but I will not be loyal to you or His Highness behind you."
Oh, you don’t want to be a loyal dog anymore?
The problem is that I don’t intend to treat you as a loyal dog.
Victor was speechless and said, "Mr. Blackwing, to be honest, I came here to seek allies. I never intended to treat you as my subordinate from the beginning, so..."
He stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "So you don't have to worry. Your idea is exactly what I expected from the beginning."
However, just when he thought everything was fine, the other party suddenly said:
"No, actually, you can use me as your subordinate, but I won't be your follower."
"……ah??"
Victor froze in place, with a big question mark popping up in his head.
You've got me confused! Brother!
He looked straight at the Black Wing Prince, but could only see eight points of seriousness and two points of solemnity on that bird's face...
The dead apostles around had already begun to sigh and some even chuckle.
"Hahahaha, Brakmoya, you are still as ridiculous as ever."
Finally, it was the White Winged Duke who broke the strange silence and laughed: "Okay, Leviathan, you can put this matter behind you. Anyway, congratulations on gaining your first supporter tonight."
"really."
Hearing this, Mei Lian, who had been keeping a low profile in the shadows, also said with a sullen face, "Give up on getting to the bottom of it, magician. You can't expect to get anything clear from a guy who advocates philosophy."
It was clear that he had hated the way Black Wing Duke spoke for a long time.
Okay... okay.
Victor looked at Altluchi behind him, and when he saw that she nodded in confirmation, he breathed a sigh of relief and pondered for a few seconds.
He finally understood that what the other party cared about was actually the symbol?
I have given my life to you, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, but my heart does not belong to you, and I am not loyal to you...
hiss……
So... he looked at the Black Wing Duke again, who stood up as if nothing had happened, and said thoughtfully.
This super E-man Black Wing Prince, turns out to be an extremely old-fashioned and stubborn person at heart?
Haha, it’s quite interesting.
Victor suddenly realized... the so-called Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles should actually be like this.
Each one of them is a very problematic, paranoid, weird guy.
It was just that the first ancestors he met were Altluchi and White Winged Prince, the only two normal guys, which made him feel that the twenty-seven ancestors were also easy to communicate with.
But it doesn’t matter.
Victor suddenly became excited. Although these guys were difficult to deal with, it had to be said that these strange personalities...
Very interesting too!
No?
……
"Then let's continue."
Lord White Wing gently lowered his giant sword and chuckled, "Now that the opening ceremony of the battle has come to an end, it's time to get down to business."
"Let me make this clear again, Leviathan."
Lord Bai Yi spread his hands in the direction of the crowd and chuckled, "This time, I followed your suggestion and mobilized all my abilities to invite as many ancestors as possible."
"Now, there are a total of sixteen ancestors left in the world who can move freely, and I have invited eleven of them in total."
"But the result..."
Lord Bai Yi sneered and looked at everyone and said, "You saw it too. Most of them didn't respond. Instead, there was one guy who came uninvited."
He really didn't invite Duke Blackwing!
That guy is a bull dung bomb in the Dead Apostles' social circle, no one wants to touch him!
In other words, apart from me and Stulut, there are only thirteen ancestors who can move freely, and they are not like the Millennium Lock or the Artificial Gastric Codex, who have become props. How can the White Winged Duke contact eleven of them? And one of the two excluded is the Black Winged Duke.
Tsk.
For the first time, Victor had the most intuitive understanding of Prince White Wing’s connections.
He glanced at Arteluqi next to him. If this was left to Arteluqi, I would lose if she could contact three of them!
When Victor glanced at her, Altluqi's face froze. After noticing the other party's strange gaze, she immediately gnashed her fangs in anger and glared at Victor with dissatisfaction.
What are you looking at!
"As a new student, I'll introduce you to you so that this meeting can go better."
Lord Bai Yi seemed to have noticed the little action of the two, but he ignored it. He just smiled faintly, looked at Mei Lian who had just spoken, and said first: "This is Mei Lian, Mei Lian Solomon."
"He belongs to the church and is the ancestor of the burial agency. Frankly speaking, I never thought about him coming back."
The reason why he mentioned Meline Solomon first was not only because he spoke just now, but also because the Burial Mechanism was well-known in the entire Dead Apostles world. He started like this to give Victor a big problem right from the start and then see his reaction.
However, what he didn't expect was that after hearing what he said, Victor was not surprised or stunned at all. Instead, he nodded calmly, looked at Mei Lian, and suddenly said, "Do you understand what I want now?"
Hmm? Lord White Wing raised his eyebrows, and the surrounding Dead Apostles also stopped talking.
"Ah." Meilian Solomon sighed and responded lazily. If he had been thinking hard about whether he had any intentions that would be worth the other party's plot, when he received the invitation from the White Winged Duke, he suddenly understood...
He wants his support.
Among the Dead Apostles, the White Wing Prince's faction is the largest, while the Black Princess Altuluchi has the title of the Son of Heaven but does not have a corresponding faction.
As for this resolution, the news we received was that the Dead Apostles wanted to unite. Since it was a union...hiss, this is really troublesome, as it would inevitably involve a struggle for the right to speak.
"So, are you willing to fulfill this promise?"
"Trouble...how to put it." Hearing this, Mei Lian sneered and said, "Although I am extremely reluctant and cannot decide, at least I have no reason to refuse."
"Well, in that case, until there's a conflict, on your side... just count me in."
"very good."
Victor nodded in satisfaction, looked at the White Winged Prince beside him and chuckled, "Two now."
Now, it was Bai Yigong's turn to be silent.
How did he suddenly realize...
This time, the Dead Apostles Resolution seemed to be developing somewhat differently than he had imagined...
Isn’t it different?!
Chapter 100: Dead Apostles Resolution - Everyone
"Hey, you're taking sides before the topic is even raised? Isn't that bad?"
The blonde girl who saw this happening was slightly surprised and said dissatisfiedly: "You guys, you really don't take it seriously?!"
"What does it matter?"
Hearing this, Meilian Solomon sneered and said, "How do you know that we didn't reach a consensus in advance? But speaking of this, Smeeley."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Even if the Black Wing Duke and I stand on the side of Leviathan, it will only level the scales, right?"
The 21st ancestor, the water demon Smily, is a drunkard and an alien species that can only exist in water.
There is nothing wrong with her position, because for her, it doesn't matter who she supports or who is the king. She is an absolute pessimist and believes that everything will eventually come to an end, the only difference is sooner or later.
But precisely because of this, she doesn't care about right or wrong, she just needs to bet on the people she cares about, and her best friend is the woman who wakes her up from her drunkenness when the show begins.
As mentioned before, the owner of the Demon Eye Train, after having a fight with Aozaki Touko, suddenly appeared in the territory of Lord Baiyi.
The eldest lady, Rita Rojian.
This is very interesting. Victor above nodded slightly, knowing what was going on.
