Chapter 119 Negotiation
"Lauren, what should we do?" Sigley asked, "Should we meet those two people tomorrow?"
"No." Lauren objected immediately: "If those two people are really demons, let's not talk about whether we can defeat them. If we really fight in the imperial capital, it will affect ordinary people."
"Is the devil trying to make us be cautious?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The four glory-level adventurers of 'Valkyrie' were in a dilemma. What if it was really as they guessed, that the man and woman were disguised as demons? If a fight broke out in the imperial capital, the consequences would be unbearable. What's more, if it alarmed the national level, it would be even more difficult to end. After all, the cause of the incident was still Lauren's magic spear.
The aristocrats will certainly use this to force the emperor to make some concessions.
The situation in the Kendenia Empire is now quite tense. The country is vaguely divided into two major factions. One is the imperial faction headed by the emperor, and the other is the aristocratic faction headed by several major nobles.
The struggle between the emperor's faction and the aristocratic faction takes place almost every day. When the previous emperor was in power, the basic power was controlled by the aristocratic faction, and they almost became puppets. After Clarence VI came to power, he endured humiliation for a long time and vigorously cultivated Angele, who was extremely talented as a warrior. During Angele's growth, he encountered several obstructions from the aristocratic faction, but the emperor risked his life to deal with them for him. This is how the "Imperial Sword" that swears allegiance to the emperor today came into being.
With the support of Angele the Breaker, and the secret winning over of the Eloyeken family, one of the former leaders of the aristocratic faction, and some of the original forces of the emperor faction, Clarence VI finally began his real clash with the aristocratic faction.
Today, the emperor faction has already surpassed the aristocratic faction.
If chaos breaks out in the imperial capital because of Lauren's affairs, the aristocrats will certainly not let go of this opportunity. In this case, all the advantages that Clarence VI has worked so hard to gain will be wasted.
"Now we have one most important thing to do," Lauren concluded, "which is to confirm the identities of the man and woman. If they are both human, then it means that we are worrying about nothing here."
"If they are really big demons, then things are a bit serious."
"A great demon has come to the human world. This is no longer something that a few of us Glory-level adventurers can handle. We need to gather the strongest people from all over the world to deal with them."
"How can we confirm this?" Aiqier said with a bitter face, "We can't just ask them directly."
"I'll go." Rosa stood up and said, "You guys can't do it, I'll go."
Rosa was right, she was the most suitable among the four people present.
Lauren and Sigri are burdened by their respective backgrounds and are destined not to be involved in anything with such a high risk. Aiqier is even more special. If the other party is really a big devil, then she has almost no chance of survival.
From this point of view, Rosa is indeed the most suitable candidate. As a thief, she is very good at judging the aura. Otherwise, she would not have been able to discover the aura of the magic gun on Luo Qiu after just a brief contact.
Moreover, when it comes to the means of escaping and saving lives, she is far superior to Lauren and Sigri.
But this job is really dangerous.
The Valkyries had no specific idea of how powerful the Great Demon was, but they were all very clear about Aiqier's strength.
Although it is announced to the outside world that Lauren is the leader of the Valkyrie, they themselves know that Lauren, Sigri and Rosa are all at the same stage in the Valkyrie, that is, the level of glory-level adventurers.
And Aiqier's strength is two levels stronger than theirs.
In short, this seemingly small loli is the strongest person in the Kendenia Empire.
Because Aqir is a reincarnated angel, her essence is not human, but an angel.
So she was far ahead of humans at the starting line.
Even if Lauren and the other three joined forces, they would not be a match for Aqir.
The Great Demon was a terrifying existence that even Aiqier feared. If Rosa's identity was discovered by it, she would definitely die. Lauren was very conflicted. If it was just because of the magic gun, it would be fine. Although she was reluctant to give it up, she would definitely not choose the magic gun compared to her teammates' lives.
But the matter of demon invasion is too big. If she can determine the intelligence of the demons in advance, she can inform her father to make preparations early in order to minimize the losses of the empire.
On one side are countless people of the empire, and on the other side are her reliable teammates and close friends. It is really difficult for Lauren to make a decision.
"Let me go, little Rosa. I am stronger than you. I am the most suitable person to go."
Aiqier said hurriedly: "Even if they are demons, my magic power can restrain them. They can't do anything to me."
"You're lying." Rosa shook her head slightly, disagreeing with Aiqier's opinion.
"I can be resurrected after my death, but you can't."
Rosa's reasons were very sufficient. Among the three of them, the one who could not afford to take risks the most was actually the strongest Aqir. To resurrect an angel, it was not something that could be done with ordinary resurrection magic. Even if the Holy See held the largest resurrection ceremony, it might not be able to resurrect an angel.
And if Rosa dies, there is still a chance of resurrection.
Aiqier can resurrect her with her own ability.
"But!" When Aiqier wanted to say something, Lauren stopped her.
No matter what, Lauren would not let Aqir take this risk.
"Rosa, no matter what happens, remember to put your own protection first, okay?"
When Lauren said this, it meant she had made her decision.
"Don't worry." Rosa nodded.
When Rosa said she had to prepare some things and leave early, Sigley spoke with some concern:
"Lauren, isn't it too dangerous to let Rosa go alone? How about we think of another way?"
"That's right. Let's think about it. There must be a safer way. It's too dangerous to let little Rosa come into contact with those two people directly." Aiqier also agreed with Sigli's idea.
"Trust Rosa, she's our teammate." Lauren raised her hand to push a strand of blonde hair behind her ear and said in a firm tone, "I will never let anything happen to Rosa."
"What are you going to do?"
"Since Rosa has already made contact, we must not alert her, otherwise she will be in danger. We should prepare for the worst." Lauren's eyes flickered. "Just in case, I will also remind father in another way and ask him to strengthen the protection of Milanzel in the next two days."
"Then what should we do? Just sit here and wait?" asked Aiqier.
"You and Sigri go investigate some things, I'll stay here and protect Nellis."
Lauren said with a headache: "What if the people of Black Heaven colluded with the devil? That would be even worse."
I was shocked when I opened the author's background just now. Thank you to my book friends Aotu Hai Xingkong and Tyrannosaurus Beast's Journey for your tips! Thank you also to my friends who voted for recommendations!
