Chapter 188: Younger Sister (2)
by Jessie@AFNCCChapter 188: Younger Sister (2)
…A month ago, Elesol went to the Elder with her sister. They found him in a tent wrapped in the desert wind. The leader of the Demon Blood greeted them with a weaker face than she had ever seen before from the man.
“Hello.”
—Long time no see.
Ellie spoke, and Elesol signed. The Great Elder gave them a small smile.
“It’s been a long time. You’ve grown up so fast.”
—No. This is not the time to talk about the past.
“But there is no need to hurry.”
—…
Elesol narrowed her eyes. The benevolence of the Great Elder didn’t appeal to her these days.
—Take this.
Elesol held out a stack of papers containing the plans for assassinating complicating factors, including Deculein and the liberation of the concentration camps.
“…You have prepared many things.”
The Elder read the preface with a stiff look. However, his answer wasn’t different.
“Kid. It’s just a chain of hate.”
—Then.
Bang!
Elesol knocked on the table.
—What do you think of it, Great Elder? The clan is at the crossroads of extinction.
“Kid. What do you think?”
—It’s simple. Resist. So that the costs of suppressing the Demon Blood outweigh the benefits.
If the Empire could receive 100 Elnes of profit by suppressing the Demon Blood and confiscating their property, retaliate with 200 Elnes of harm. Let them find no value in suppressing the Demon Blood.
“What does the Empire gain by oppressing us? They are oppressing us for nothing.”
—No. They wanted our land in the past. This time they want wealth and talent. Hence, mutually assured destruction. That’s our way. If they have nothing to gain and know that their lives are precious, they will grow tired.
“To do that, we also need weapons and strength commensurate with the Empire. Do we have the power to destroy them?”
-Yes. The Demon Blood have power. There is the talent that the continental people call the power of the devil.
Elesol looked to Ellie. She wore an affronted expression.
