Chapter 511: General
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Hey, James. Are you really not a magician?” Miyamoto Musashi held the wine on the table and asked in a slightly tipsy tone.
“I think so.”
As they ate the food in the restaurant and clinked glasses, Miyamoto began to talk incoherently with Lei Luo. Linghua wasn’t with them, while Shinji Sakurakami returned to her room to rest.
One glass after another, Miyamoto Musashi’s mood became better and better. There were more and more wine bottles on the table, and the night gradually became darker and darker. It wasn’t until the restaurant closed that Miyamoto Musashi started to sleep soundly on the table.
Looking at this unconscious person, Lei Luo could only take out Miyamoto Musashi’s wallet with tears in his eyes. He helped him settle his debts, including the debt he owed previously.
This person was really boring. Even if he had money, settling debts was not really one of his strongest suits.
After throwing Miyamoto Musashi into a room, he walked straight to his own room. However, Lei Luo felt that his magic array had been triggered at the door.
Pushing the door open, a graceful woman with a white veil on her face sat near the window, looking at the scenery outside.
She was wearing a long red dress, and she looked extremely beautiful. The strokes on her face were like those of a fairy walking down from a painting.
Lei Luo did not hesitate either. He walked to the seat beside her, took the tea he bought, and slowly brewed it as if there was no one beside him.
“Hello, pseudo-grade-9 Mage Lei Luo. Nice to meet you.”
The woman seemed to be waiting for Lei Luo to speak first, but she did not expect him to not care about her at all.
“Hello, General Zili. I wonder what you’re doing here tonight?”
Lei Luo had long guessed that General Zili would send someone to his place, but he did not expect that she would go herself. In fact, the thought had not crossed Lei Luo’s mind. If not, he would take it that he had guessed wrongly.
Although Lei Luo had never seen General Zili before, the appearance of the flower of the northern borders was too obvious. Other than General Zili, Lei Luo couldn’t think of anyone whose appearance could compare to the woman sealed within the deity armament.
“I didn’t expect the military advisor to know about this little woman. I’m truly terrified.”
General Zili stood up and bowed. They were all waiting for the other party to speak first. After all, they still didn’t know what the other party’s situation was like. No one wanted to be at a disadvantage.
“I don’t think I can compare to military advisor Lei Luo. General, you must have mistaken me for someone else.”
Lei Luo brought the hot tea in his hand to General Zili, wanting to see if this general was afraid that he would rise up and kill her.
However, General Zili only smiled as he took the tea and said to Lei Luo,
“Thank you for military advisor Lei Luo’s tea.”
“Whatever you say.”
Picking up the tea that he had brewed, Lei Luo sat on his seat and took a sip.
“Nine days ago, advisor Lei Luo died after releasing a spell that far exceeded the current level of a magician.”
“Four days later, an unknown magician named James appeared on the northern border. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?”
Hearing General Zili’s words, Lei Luo’s heart did not waver at all. He knew that this matter was far from as simple as she said. There must be some conclusive evidence to prove that he was Lei Luo.
Sure enough, Zili looked at Lei Luo’s face with a hint of ridicule.
“I have contacted the Empire’s Marquis, Papafilin. They did not send an investigator to the northern border at all, so your identity is fake.”
There was no expression on Lei Luo’s face, but a disappointed expression appeared on his face.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Lei Luo put down the tea in his hand with an impatient expression. He knew that this person in front of him was still trying to rope him in. Although he didn’t know the reason, Lei Luo could still feel the urgency in her words.
“I know that Mr. Lei Luo intends to help Fu Yun, but do you know that Fu Yun is a member of the royal family and that the people that Ulysses supports are from the royal family?”
Hearing this, Lei Luo’s heart was still a little moved. He still did not expect Fu Yun to be a member of the royal family that had disappeared for many years. Did the royal family still have the power to fight against the general? That was really a terrifying thing.
“I know that Mr. Lei Luo and Ulysses have a good relationship, but now is not the time for internal strife in the northern border. Who knows when the gate of the demon world will open? And when that time comes, the northern border will be plunged into endless flames of war. I know that the Takeda family and the Nakajima family have long been in contact with the demon world, but the goal of the demon world is to open the node and invade the magic empire. How could there be a complete egg when the nest is overthrown? The northern border will still be the vanguard for the invasion of the demon world. Papafilin and I have agreed that as long as we don’t let the Takeda family and the Nakajima family open the gate of the demon world ahead of time, as long as Papafilin is free, we will help the northern border repel the demon world’s attack. And we have promised to give the northern border the right to independence. Isn’t this the best choice?”
Zili spilled everything about her deal with Papafilin as if he was pouring beans and as if he was talking about his own pain. However, Lei Luo knew that she definitely had some crucial information that she had yet to say.
“I hope that Mr. Lei Luo can tell the Sakakami family that if I help Takeda and the others open the gate of the Devil Realm, I will first cleanse the Sakakami family even if I have to die.”
Zili gritted her teeth and told Lei Luo that this was a very big decision. If the Sakakami family knew about this, they might not even be able to wait for the ceremony and start a war.
However, the Sakakami family was the key to Takeda’s plan, so Zili made this decision.
“I hope that Mr. Lei Luo can help me. When the northern border is stabilized, I will station troops for the Black Angel Army and control the northern border’s export and import channels. At that time, Mr. Lei Luo will be the left Prime Minister of the northern border, and he won’t have to do anything.”
This was already a very big condition for Zili. In Lei Luo’s ears, he felt that it was ridiculous. What did it mean to station troops in the northern border?
It was equivalent to putting a thorn in the general’s heart, and it could not be removed even if he wanted to. In addition to the trade rights in the northern border, it could increase his wealth by hundreds of millions every year.
Although Lei Luo still wanted to agree, there were still some things that Lei Luo did not know. He first needed to determine whether Zili was telling the truth or simply bluffing to gain an advantage.
“General Zili, please leave. I am not Lei Luo, and I can not accept such a condition. Please forgive me for not being able to do anything.”
Zili’s eyes clearly showed some disappointment, but she understood that Lei Luo had rejected her condition.
Looking at the still warm tea on the table, the beauty sitting at the side had disappeared. Lei Luo looked at the chair that was still warm, but he did not say a word.
