Chapter 470: The mediator's dark plans. 2
-This situation is easier to solve than you can imagine; it is just enough for one of you to abandon his thirst for victory in favor of the other. As a mediator, I would promise the latter to protect her alternates until the end of time.”
“…”
Seeing them silent, as if they had not just heard him make such a senseless statement, he smiled ironically.
Yes, this proposal is probably the most stupid he could do. A quarrel is a fight but not necessarily serious. But here, we are not talking about a street fight or quarrel, but about a war between the most important factions of the universe.
Does he play with their patience? The question arises.
In any case, Alvine and Isolet were deaf to his proposal. He, therefore, had no choice but to deepen his explanations.
“You have surely noticed the consequences of your presence at both and at the same time in this universe. Laws are beginning to change little by little; it’s only a matter of time before everything collapses. And when it’s too late to backtrack, you and the reasons that push you to fight will only be in vain.” He finally stops, waiting to see if one of the two would join the conversation.
“Why is this happening?” Isolate asks.
“It’s simple; have you ever seen a kingdom run under the control of two kings?” He answers her question with another while taking a peek at Alvine.
He was listening, but without saying anything; Alvine.
Unlike Alvine, Isolet seems to be ready to go all the way. “…In this case, what proves to you that these changes are related to our presence? As far as I know, we are not the only ones representing the four universal elements; why do I have to swallow your explanations without having concrete evidence?” She persists while looking at the mediator with inquisitive eyes.
Naturally, the latter understood that she was accusing him of something.
Hence his grandiose smile following Isolat’s question.
“Of course, by deciding to give up, it is not only with a few millennia of sleep with the hope of reincarnating; it will disappear forever. His powers as a shadow or her light will be assigned to me until I find another candidate better suited to replace her/him.
-But note that this decision will be right to me; it is up to me, and to me alone, who will decide when and whom I must bequeath these powers.”
“Don’t try to bypass my question.” Not in the mood to listen to the bullshit that the mediator was debating, Isolet brings her previous question back to the carpet of the conversation.
By the way, Alvine serves himself another glass after emptying the first one, as if he were just a blank sheet in their conversations.
“I hear what you say, but look around you, you will already see the changes in question. I even think that the other invisible man (Alvine) has already noticed these changes.” The mediator cleverly gives this answer while waving to the blonde waitress.
The latter rushes at a horse’s steps to the mediator. “Dear customer, what can I help you?”
“A tequila, please.”
“…Right away, sir.” With a professional smile, the blonde, who looked like a part-time high school student, turned around to place the mediator’s order.
‘Hmm, a tequila in this restaurant? I would never have guessed it.’ Alvine mumbles without his mind as if he didn’t listen to anything from their conversation.
In addition, Isolet used her magical perception to check the famous changes the mediator was talking about.
But despite her ultra-sharp senses, she could not grasp the meaning of the mediator’s words.
“This Whisky becomes stronger and stronger after each sip.” Unfortunately for her, Alvine interrupts her efforts by making such comments out of context.
“…” Isolat frowns at his lack of seriousness.
“It’s suspicious.” He adds while looking at Isolet.
He then fills his whisky glass and pushes it towards Isolet.
“…What is the interest of..-
“You must taste it to understand.” The mediator interrupts her before she refuses Alvine’s glass.
“…” Feeling that it had something to do with the mediator’s puzzle, she accepts Alvine’s offer and takes a small sip.
-!
Her eyes instantly widened with amazement when she realized that Alvine’s whisky had residues of magical energy in it.
To confirm her suspicions, she tastes the tea she has not yet touched since the beginning.
‘How the hell is this possible? However, I’m sure that this tea was just a simple tea.’ She was thinking in her mind.
Alvine also frowns when she sees her reaction. ‘It’s suspicious, I had just taken this bottle of whisky to kill time, but I would never have believed that my action could fall to such a result. The most ironic thing is that they won’t believe me even if I said I hadn’t noticed anything before my last two sips.’ He smiles in the face of this unexpected chance.
Perhaps out of laziness to explain himself, he decides to keep his thoughts to himself; letting them believe what they want.
“In this case; what am I supposed to believe? You may have infused mana into the core of this planet without our knowledge.” Isolet decides to keep her usual position; suspicious.
“…You may be right, but despite everything, how will you explain that the energy that is gradually manifesting around us is of the same nature as yours?”
“…”
Seeing Isolet silent, the mediator crosses his fingers on the small dining table and takes a severe look at her. “I created this planet based on a small blue sphere that I had visited before; the only difference is that it did not have the slightest ounce of mana.
-Moreover, you refused to drink your tea because it was not suitable for your taste buds which only appreciate food and drinks made with mana. This phenomenon of mana manifestation would not be possible if you were not both in the same place. You know what I’m talking about since it only happened when the invisible man joined you.”
“So, you mean that we are responsible for these changes? Do you think I’m a beginner to let my magical energy wander out of my control?” Isolet also retorts.
“I didn’t say anything like that. All I say is that the energy of darkness and that of light come into conflict as soon as their two hosts present themselves. As you can see, this influence does not yet have a great impact; it is necessary to be endowed with unprecedented caution to hope to notice it. Plus, the wear is also less to cause serious damage.”
As soon as the mediator finished presenting his evidence, Alvine finally joined the conversation. “What will be the consequences if it goes into a spin?” He suddenly asks.
His intervention, of course, attracted the attention of two.
“I don’t know.” The mediator responds instantly.
“Oh, I see.”
But seeing Alvine immediately disinterested in the question, the mediator explains himself in a somewhat hasty tone, as if he were disappointed to see him so disinterested.
But Alvine did not listen to his explanations, he was completely immersed in his thoughts.
‘Each of us has roles to play at the moment to hide our true intentions. Isolet makes his ignorant while deepening his theories and suspicions about both of us. Chronos does his best to guess our true intentions; finally, I believe. But for my part, I don’t really have a specific goal in this meeting; therefore, it would be better to remain in sync with them while finding the essentials.
‘At first glance, Isolet does not seem really determined to go to the end of this war; but it is only a facade, she is no longer the person she was before. I would even say that she makes me as uncomfortable as the mediator, and will know why I am so suspicious of her, I would say that it is my intuition that speaks to me.
If I am not mistaken, Mr. Chronos agrees with me. His prudence has skyrocketed since our first meeting. I would like to make the situation more spicy, but it is better not to rush things. Let these two fight with their words while staying out of their sight.
While the two continued to exchange and debate about rather obvious things, Alvine looked at Adonis with suspicious eyes.
‘I must still admit that she has no less weak assets than mine. This groundhog is as powerful as Askald, or even more. But knowing Askald, I am convinced that he will have no problem killing him by other inconvenient means.
-The problem is that he’s not there to gauge the power and level of dangerousness of this guy. But I have no worries about this level.
-Askald is an outstanding strategist, but at the moment, he’s the weakest among my three monarchs. He was more powerful than Elena, but this is no longer the case, especially since Elena stole Kimiko from me; sigh, I already miss this little boy. To one what I hope for these two, is that they manage to understand each other and cooperate together.
The nature of my powers changed, so Kimiko had trouble adapting. It’s a wise choice that…-
“What do you think?” Suddenly, he was interrupted by Isolet who asked him this question.
“What do I think about it?” He frowns, naturally unable to grasp the situation (since he was not listening to anything.)
“…”
The two look at him, waiting for him to speak; this puts him in a dilemma.
But out of caution, he takes a look at Reha.
-Nod.
Seeing this last nod at him, meaning that he had to agree; Alvine smiled slightly. “I don’t agree with you.” He replied without even knowing what the two were talking about.
“What!? How do you not agree??” The mediator and Isolet exclaim together, no longer understanding anything.
The most ironic thing was that Alvine himself did not understand either.
But his serenity in the face of this situation sweeps away any doubt in the memory of both.
The other four escorts were all as surprised as their masters, of which Alvine was also a part.
“Think; do you think I would accept that? It’s to know me badly.” He retorted while frowning with a threatening air.
The two interlocutors remained silent without saying anything for a short time; apparently shocked by Alvine’s unexpected refusal.
“…Huhuhu, I see that you are always ungodly than before.” Chronos made this sarcastic comment.
“…Thank you for the compliment, I guess.” He said while watching the blonde come with the tequila that the mediator had pre-ordered.
**My dear master, do you intend to involve innocent people in this war?**
Taking advantage of the situation, Reha asks Alvine this question.
[…What if that were the case?]
Reha’s eyes became skeptical following Alvine’s answer as if she didn’t believe what Alvine had just said.
‘It’s funny, I feel that this mystery will lose all its meaning if I decide to rummage through Reha’s mind to find out what they were talking about. Although, the conversation was so boring that I couldn’t help wondering a little. Moreover, from her question and the expression they showed me, I can roughly guess what they were talking about; probably the place where the war will take place.’
“In this case, do you have a place in mind? I find it hard to believe that you want us to fight without respecting the life rights of others.” Isolet resumed the threads of the conversation while wearing a black face.
As Alvine had concluded, the two were talking about the same thing.
After the waitress’s departure, Alvine looks at Isolet in an inexpressive way. “Is it normal for you to teach me? Remember that it is your subordinates who have begun to recruit allies from the four corners of the universe.”
“?! – I was not present when they acted in this way. Don’t mix them–
“But it’s still your troops now, the allies that your subordinates had recruited, am I wrong??” He questions Isolet while glancing at Adonis who opens his eyes slightly.
