Chapter 404: 403, Meeting with Emperor Lai Yin_1
This time, Khadgar didn’t make the visit alone.
Apart from him, he also brought three high-ranking powerhouses, namely Anduin, Thor and Sylvanas, whom were all Su Yu’s old acquaintances.
After the three legends and one sanctuary landed, they formed a circle and surrounded Su Yu in the middle, scrutinizing him.
“Finally, you guys are here!” Su Yu turned off the official forum interface and exhaled, “Since we’re all old friends, you can let me out now, right?”
The four shared a glance.
Khadgar said, “Alright, I’ll let you out now.”
“However, Nemesis, remember this: if you display any suspicious behavior, Sylvanas will immediately extract and seal your soul, don’t blame us for not warning you!”
The noble families of the Lai Yin Empire were extremely afraid of Su Yu’s self-destruction. (They didn’t know that the self-destruction could only be executed on the territory of the Goldfinch.)
Grantex, a sanctuary-level powerhouse, was completely obliterated under Su Yu’s self-destruction. Khadgar was very worried that Su Yu would cause some major incident on their turf, so he summoned three high-ranking colleagues to escort Su Yu.
“Rest assured, gentlemen.” Su Yu’s face was full of sincerity: “I’m really here to negotiate a cooperation this time. Trust in my sincerity!”
“I hope so.” Khadgar remained unmoved, took out the chicken leg staff from his back and pointed it at the arcane seal above.
The deep purple sealing energy that was pressing on Su Yu dissipated quickly like a gentle breeze.
Su Yu regained his freedom, stood up and flexed his limbs and neck.
He also noticed Anduin standing to his west.
The complexion of Anduin’s face had completely turned deep black and his hair had changed from golden to purplish red. His looking might scare children if they saw him.
It seemed that in terms of “immersing oneself in shadows,” he was more thorough than Xi Fan was.
Feeling Su Yu’s gaze, Anduin said with an eerie tone:
“For Nemesis, Your Excellency, I think it’s necessary to add a term into the contract when signing – during the term of the contract, Nemesis, Your Excellency, is prohibited from causing any form of destruction in our country. Do you agree?”
After some thought, Su Yu responded, “No problem, I’ll simply not visit your country if that’s the case! Now, can you take me to meet your Emperor?”
“This way, please.” Khadgar turned into a raven and flew northwest. The trio of Anduin kept Su Yu in the middle and followed Khadgar.
…
Eight minutes later, they arrived at the Royal Palace of Lai Yin.
Two more minutes passed, Su Yu met Sean Violet, the Emperor of the Lai Yin Empire, in the main hall of the Royal Palace.
“You’re Nemesis?” His Majesty the Emperor sat high on the Iron Throne, looking at Su Yu with great interest.
Although he had seen Su Yu’s appearance through magical images, this was their first face-to-face meeting.
“Indeed, I am Nemesis, Your Majesty the Emperor of Lai Yin.” Su Yu paid him the mage’s respect.
The Emperor of Lai Yin, like Su Yu, was also a sixth-order sanctuary.
So now, Su Yu and the Emperor of Lai Yin are at least 20 meters apart, and Khadgar and his colleagues locked him down with their aura, not giving him any chance for self-destruction.
Su Yu didn’t plan to provoke them either; he stood obediently.
Looking at the Emperor of Lai Yin, Su Yu respectfully said, “Your Majesty the Emperor, I sincerely represent Her Majesty Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum to discuss cooperation with your country. I wonder if your country is interested in our proposal?”
“That…” The Emperor of Lai Yin paused.
Then he answered, “I have read the letter from your Empress. The Wind Chime Empire has indeed done some outrageous and foolish things, and they should pay the price for what they’ve done, but…”
Emperor Lai Yin paused again before continuing to say, “The Wind Chime Empire is our reliable ally. I will not betray my ally for this, so please return, envoy!”
After finishing his words, Emperor Lai Yin waved his hand. It seemed that he wanted Anduin to see the guest out.
However, Su Yu felt a lot more relieved because he understood the message behind Emperor Lai Yin’s words.
In the letter that Alyssa sent to Emperor Lai Yin, she did not mention anything about the Wind Chime Empire doing “outrageous and foolish things”. This was added by Emperor Lai Yin himself.
It was evident that he was ready to cooperate but was looking for an excuse to uphold his reputation. Otherwise, if it got out that “Emperor Lai Yin betrayed his ally for his own benefit,” he would be condemned.
As Emperor Lai Yin wanted an “excuse,” Su Yu naturally provided him with one.
He quickly opened the [Guild Master’s Chatroom]and asked inside, “Everyone, what atrocities did the troops of the Wind Chime Empire commit during the war?”
Seeing Su Yu’s question, all the online guild masters immediately replied in the chatroom. Even Snow Leopard, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, responded a couple of times.
Based on the information provided by the guild masters, Su Yu loudly said to the Emperor of Lai Yin,
“But Your Majesty, the crimes committed by the Wind Chime Empire’s army in the West Continent of the Goldfinch can be described as utterly conscienceless! For example, in Rongke Town of Song City Forest, they fought with peasants over food and eventually killed 134 unarmed peasants! In the Silver Horse River Valley, they once again brandished their butcher knives at 55 women who had no ability to resist… (1000 words omitted)…”
It took Su Yu a full ten minutes to recite all the atrocities committed by the Wind Chime Empire’s army.
After reciting all these gruesome details, Su Yu was filled with indignation.
Although the armies of all seigniorial empires were like this, had committed unconscionable ventures, were nearly devoid of goods. But speaking out about these actions had sparked a considerable amount of anger in Su Yu.
It seemed that this cooperation came about coincidentally. The atrocities committed by the Wind Chime Empire’s army indeed needed to be dealt with.
…
Unlike Su Yu’s indignation, the Emperor of Lai Yin, who had seen his fair share of bloodshed, was completely unmoved by the casualty figures.
He ruminated, “I know the Wind Chine Empire has done plenty of bad things, but as I said, we are allies after all…”
“Your Majesty!” Su Yu interrupted him, “Opportunities in war are fleeting. I hope Your Majesty does not miss this great opportunity because of momentary indecision! Moreover, as far as I know, a major event will take place in the Main Plane eight months from now, causing a world-shaking change! It will be too late if we miss this opportunity!”
“A major event in the Main Plane? What is it?” The Emperor of Lai Yin’s face tightened and he asked urgently.
The major event Su Yu was referring to was, of course, the “opening of the third expansion pack”, but he didn’t intend to inform the Emperor of Lai Yin. Instead, he shook his head calmly.
“It is a secret of heaven that must not be revealed. It will not work if I tell you. However, my prophecies have always been very accurate. If you don’t believe it, you can verify it with the elf Regent King.”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, the Emperor of Lai Yin, as well as Anduin and Khadgar, nodded in agreement.
They had, of course, heard of Su Yu’s feats in the Elf Kingdom. His prophecy could be defined as a godsend!
“Alright then!” The Emperor Lai Yin finally made a decision: “I need to discuss this with my ministers, and I will give you a formal response later.”
