"The childhood of the Duke of Lava?"
Fleivers and Villie cald their overly shocked minds, and they sat down cross-legged, showing an attitude of eagerly listening.
Athena imdiately began to narrate:
"Sir Lin Ke was born in the Viscount's Domain of Azanen in the southernmost part of the Black and White Kingdom. After his birth, his father, Garoce, was deceived by the Deep Blue Duke of the kingdom to go to a secondary plane to fight."
"Speaking of this Deep Blue Duke, there is quite a story..."
"The Deep Blue Duke was originally the brother of the Insomnia Emperor, but since the previous generation's King passed the throne to the Insomnia Emperor, the Deep Blue Duke secretly plotted for hundreds of years, ultimately aiming to assassinate the Insomnia Emperor to prove his father's error."
"He secretly allied with the Supre God of the Holy Life Alliance—the Sun God, and the Ratman Lord of the alliance, and then controlled the descendant of the Sun God's Phoenix, landing on the Lava Swamp at the border of the Gula Kingdom."
"The Lava Swamp has countless magical beasts, many of them at the legendary level, but they are all guarded by the Lady of Tides, whose mother is a Dominator Level existence, the Moon Goddess…"
As Athena was speaking, Villie suddenly asked in confusion, "What is Dominator Level?"
"Dominator Level?" Athena smiled and said, "A legendary level can crush dozens of Silver Cities with a finger, a dominator level can crush dozens of legendary ones with a finger, what do you think Dominator Level is?"
With this comparison, Villie and Fleivers understood.
"You should know, this used to be confidential, only now the tis are better, and even school children know this knowledge." Athena waved her hand: "Alright, don't interrupt, let continue…"
"The Deep Blue Duke seduced the Moon Goddess into his plan, but what he said is unknown, no one knows why the Moon Goddess would cooperate with the Deep Blue Duke."
"It was later analyzed by scholars that she knew the Deep Blue Duke had a conspiracy, but for her eldest son, the Eldest Prince of the Black and White Kingdom, 'Telang's promotion, she participated in planning this event."
"She and the Eldest Prince planned to incorporate the Lava Swamp into the Gula Kingdom's territory during his regency, thereby gaining massive feedback to promote."
"Incidentally, they could also root out the spies of the Holy Life Alliance within the Gula Kingdom, and at the sa ti, the bloodline 'Torrent' of the border Azanen Family could serve as a supplent to the divine office of the Moon Goddess's eldest daughter, the Lady of Tides."
"As for how many magical beasts or people would die as a result, the Moon Goddess and the Eldest Prince didn't even consider them, in their eyes, they weren't much different from ants."
"Then, the plan comnced..."
At this point, Athena's expression was solemn: "The Deep Blue Duke targeted the southernmost Viscount's Domain of Azanen, offering loans at extrely low rates, for the then-head of the Azanen Family, 'Viscount Garoce', to form his own Knight Order."
"The Azanen Family was once great, but later declined, and the current Azanen Family was in desperate need of a Knight Order to explore secondary planes and plunder resources."
"For the future of the entire family, Garoce left, choosing to fight for a chance at a future."
"Little did he know, under the influence of the Moon Goddess's dominator-level power, the Knight Order bought with loans fell into a bitter fight on that plane, gone for as long as six years."
"And when the six-year term was up, the Deep Blue Duke would go to the Azanen Territory to collect the debt."
"In the na of debt collection, the truth was the Deep Blue Duke wanted sothing simple: with the inco of Azanen Territory at that ti, it was impossible to cover such a huge debt, the ultimate result being the whole Viscount's Domain sold to the Deep Blue Duke to repay the debt."
"If such a thing happened, the Lava Swamp and the Viscount's Domain of Azanen would rge into a single one, countless magical beasts could march through the Viscount's Domain right into the heart of the kingdom."
"By then, the Insomnia Emperor would surely be battling on another main plane with the Deep Blue Duke, having no ti to attend, and by the end of the battle, perhaps the Gula Kingdom would already be destroyed."
"This was the plan the Deep Blue Duke had sched for a hundred years, and the most crucial mont was when that six-year term was about to end."
Athena deliberately cleared her throat, causing Fleivers and Villie to stretch their necks forward, nervously asking, "And then? What happened next?"
A conspiracy that spanned hundreds of years, the love and hatred of the previous generation, and the Deep Blue Duke also scheming for other main planes and a huge nation like the Holy Life Alliance.
It was truly terrifying!
They were now completely imrsed in Athena's story, very curious about what happened later between the Deep Blue Duke and the Insomnia Emperor.
Curious about whether the Deep Blue Duke succeeded, and curious about how Sir Lin Ke erged triumphant.
After all, the Deep Blue Duke, Moon Goddess, Insomnia Emperor, Sun God…these were all Dominator-level beings!
In the confrontation, conspiracy, and power of Dominator-level beings, legendary levels didn't even count as ants, at best dust or specks.
So how did Sir Lin Ke turn the situation around?
"Just at this critical six-year point, a miracle occurred."
As Athena said this, her eyes sparkled with a unique brilliance.
There was admiration, reverence, aspiration, and a subtle trace of affection invisible to the naked eye.
"The Azanen Territory was a loose sand, with all the nobles being rotten and foul mud. After Garoce left these years, these people had completely degenerated into parasites, however... Sir Lin Ke was different!"
"After his birth, with his father not by his side, he was raised and educated by the First Lady, his biological Second Lady, and Butler Billy."
"It is said that the First Lady was well-read, deeply understanding the way of education. Knowing that her sister was too naïve and wouldn't educate Lin Ke, she implented her educational philosophy on her most beloved Lin Ke, not hesitating to beco Sir Lin Ke's enemy, allowing him to grow in adversity, ultimately cultivating an invincible, strong, and steadfast will."
"Sir Lin Ke was intelligent and keen from a young age, loved observing and thinking, thus having many incredible discoveries and inventions, and began to stand out in the territory after enlightennt."
"Even to the point where, due to his powerful earning ability, the debt issue was resolved, the debt crisis was averted, and the Deep Blue Territory had no ans left."
"The Deep Blue Duke thought everything was proceeding smoothly, after all, at that ti in the Azanen Territory or the entire Gula Kingdom, there was absolutely no one capable of earning that much money quickly."
"So he answered the Insomnia Emperor's summon, went to the Star Realm to wage battle, with no ti for anything else."
"And because the Deep Blue Duke's confidential plans weren't revealed to others, no one in the Deep Blue Territory paid attention to the idea of obtaining Azanen Domain, casually sending a son, who, after obtaining the gold coins, didn't forcefully demand the retrieval of Azanen Domain."
"And in this crucial gap, Sir Lin Ke quickly matured."
Athena's tone was slow, but inherently filled with intense excitent:
"However, the Ratman Lord and other powerful figures of the Holy Life Alliance were not easy to deal with, taking advantage of the Deep Blue Duke's absence, they mobilized the magical beast rulers from the Lava Swamp to begin an invasion."
"In the first battle, the deity—the Lady of Tides lost her godly incarnation accumulated over hundreds of years."
"Next, the Azanen Territory would face endless magical beasts..."
