Chapter 1070 Silvermoon’s Demonic Connection
"Hehe. How about it, boy?
Want to raise another rebellion and split the kingdom of Edinburgh into even more pieces?"
Nira asked playfully as she rested her head on the palm of her hand in a forward head posture. She looked at Eren intently as if trying to read the mystery that was surrounding him.
The butcher smiled before responding.
"This pond is already starting to get smaller for me. What will I do even if I conquer it? I"d rather enter a much larger pool like the one you guys are currently swimming in."
Nira became speechless after Eren"s response before breaking into a peal of laughter. She knew Eren"s background. The guy had established a prominent city in the Nightshade Duchy. It was like his mini kingdom.
Nira had played the same game. As a result, she knew how astute one needed to be to achieve something that Eren had achieved. Furthermore, he had done that in a very short time– while he was not even a high-ranked ent.i.ty. With no background and no financial blessing from anyone.
Therefore, Nira didn"t think that Eren was bragging in front of her when he said what he said. She chuckled before adding further.
"So where was I? Yeah… Emil"s move was politically motivated. There"s no doubt about that.
However, it prevented further escalation of conflict within the kingdom. The kingdom of Layos was also pacified when the city of Silvermoon stayed intact despite the flames of rebellion surrounding it.
That move cemented Emil"s self-proclaimed belief that the rebellion had taken place not to hurt the elven community but to nurture so-called oppressed humankind.
The two kingdoms eventually managed to form diplomatic ties. The elven royalty would visit the city of Silvermoon in a hush-hush manner every so often to relive their past. Some would even stay, promoting the city"s growth with their contribution.
That brat Jian was one such elven royalty who decided to stay inside the city of Silvermoon. He couldn"t handle the royal games so he decided to change sides.
Jian stayed in the city of Silvermoon for a long time before deciding to move to the city of Curar. There, he would go on to establish Healers" Nirvana.
Hehe. I find it funny that the brat who was most pa.s.sionate in his generation about becoming Layos" King was the first one to call it quits. He stepped out of that quagmire and never looked back.
Jian and his wife both managed to break into the Sage ranks just recently though. So I guess n.o.body can question their achievements anymore.
Incidentally, the kingdom of Layos doesn"t know about the couple"s breakthrough. So some of Jian"s enemies dared to attack his guild to smoke it out."
? Eren wasn"t shocked to learn from Nira about Jiana"s connection with Layos" royalty. However, he was shocked to learn that her parents had managed to break into the Sage rank.
Only now did Eren realize why the Layos" royalty was at odds with Jiana and her guild. The Jihang couple must have been seen as an eyesore by the Jian royal contestants of his time. After all, he managed to thrive in the enemy kingdom and proved Emil"s point right.ReadNovelFull.com
Nira"s eyes shone with a crimson hue as she continued.
We four Sages wanted to create a safe haven for ourselves by creating this kingdom. It would support us until we either manage to break through our current ranks or find a way to leave this world.
After all, it would be foolish to mess with the Anfang Alliance. It has an army of Sages loyal to its cause. We wouldn"t have stood a chance.
So we let Emil become the face of us. He aligned his kingdom with the Anfang Alliance and the kingdom of Layos followed in his footsteps. As a result, both kingdoms started taking a hardline stand against cultists, rogues, and demonic rankers.
The deep states of both kingdoms recognize that their origin kingdom, Silvermoon, had demonic connections. In fact, Silvermoon thrived on that connection until Emil"s rebellion.
Both kingdoms kept these things dark to prevent the Anfang Alliance from taking action against them. But both kingdoms aimed to amplify the demonic connection in the shadows to gain an edge over the other.
Sansara World was created by collecting spatial fragments of ruins from the past, an era that predates us. Lin created this special spatial dimension to hide the demonic connection it has."
Eren knew what Nira was talking about just fine. Alephee had also told him in the beginning that the Golden Globe hanging motionlessly in the Edinnica Arena was giving her demonic vibes.
His immediate thoughts, however, revealed a sense of curiosity before he asked.
"What kind of demonic connection?"
Nira Nightshade flashed a cunning smile before answering.
"This place hides within itself a one-of-a-kind demonic altar. A demonic altar dedicated to a very powerful demon I might add.
The kingdom of Edinburgh reported to the kingdom of Layos that it had destroyed the altar when both kingdoms still shared active diplomatic ties. However, Edinburgh"s traitor Isen Osan informed the kingdom of Layos that the altar had been kept intact.
Can you guess what Layos did after finding the news from Isen?"
Eren met Nira"s eyes and answered without a moment"s delay.
"Send in the infiltrators into the Sansara World to confirm Isen"s intel. And gain access to the altar, if possible."
Eren realized why the kingdom of Edinburgh didn"t take extreme measures against the infiltrators at the beginning. This was a secret shared by both kingdoms and they both wanted to keep it that way. After all, neither side wanted to provoke the Anfang Alliance.ReadNovelFull.com
However, he knew that all bets were about to be off once Edinburgh"s side found out that the infiltrators had managed to kill Rufus. He had added oil to the fire by using the demonic altar for himself as well.
It was only a matter of time before both sides turned openly hostile.
