Zither Emperor Chapter 839 Chapter 267 The Wise Light Tower Master Part 3

839: Chapter 267: The Wise Light Tower Master (Part 3) 839: Chapter 267: The Wise Light Tower Master (Part 3) Zi Shen said, “That means Yin Zhu’s guess was correct.

The reason why your reinforcements arrived so late was not solely due to delays, as you said, but also because you wanted to use the battle before to test the strength of our Qin City.”

Without speaking, O’Brien simply watched Ye Yinzhu in silence, the admiration in his eyes being even more evident.

He was quietly waiting, waiting for Ye Yinzhu’s choice.

He believed that a smart person would never make a foolish decision.

“Alright, I agree to your proposal and am willing to take over Sloan’s position in Faran,” Ye Yinzhu’s voice was calm, but firmness shone through the calmness.

O’Brien had not expected Ye Yinzhu’s response to be so quick, and after being slightly surprised, he couldn’t help but show a smile that he could not contain, “Thank you, Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, for your understanding.

From now on, Faran and Qin City will be one family.”

“Yin Zhu—” Zi couldn’t help but call out, even Glacis and Ming behind him frowned slightly.

In their eyes, the enmity between Qin City and Faran had already formed, and the current Tower Master of the Tower of Light, O’Brien, was obviously wily and cunning.

Their biggest fear was that Faran would harm Ye Yinzhu or use him for their own purposes.

Ye Yinzhu didn’t let Zi continue, addressing O’Brien, “I can join Faran, but I have several conditions.

As long as Faran agrees to them, then I will bee one of Faran.”

O’Brien nodded, “Alright, say them.

As long as Faran can do it.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Firstly, starting from now, Faran must lift its own Seal as well as its support for the Landias Empire.”

O’Brien thought for a while and said, “That can be done.

Do we need to switch to supporting the Milan Empire?”

Ye Yinzhu thought for a while before shaking his head, “No, a unified empire may be easier to control.

But Master O’Brien, have you carefully considered how many wars are necessary to create a great empire and how many warriors will die because of this war?

The might of the Abyssal Plane we’re about to face is beyond anyone’s knowledge.

The more power Ryuzakinus can preserve, the easier it will be when facing the Abyssal Plane.”

After some hesitation, O’Brien replied, “Forming a unified empire is a method prescribed in Faran’s Law for dealing with the loosening of the Seal.

However, the Law is not immutable, and we can discuss this matter in detail after you join Faran.

We will respect your opinion.

If, as you said, stopping the war is more effective, then we will modify the Law.”

Ye Yinzhu stated, “Good, we can set this matter aside for now.

Third, I hope Faran publicly declares its support for the rightful status of the Purple Beastman Tribe and announces to the countries across the continent that they should engage in equitable trade with the Beastman Clan.

Of course, once Zi has unified the Northernmost Wilderness, he will also promise the Human kingdoms that, under the premise of fair trade, they will not lightly wage war against the Human World.”

O’Brien looked at Ye Yinzhu, thinking to himself that in such a short period of time he could e up with so many conditions.

He truly was extraordinary.

“We can support Emperor Zi’s status, but equal trade might be more difficult.

After all, the Beastman Clan is inherently powerful.

If they were to obtain the weapons and enough food supplies from Human nations, it could create a sense of insecurity among all Human countries.

Usually, Faran does not directly involve itself in these matters.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Really not involved?

Then what is the Faran Army doing right now?

If not for direct involvement, you wouldn’t have e to our Qin City.

Let’s make a deal, as long as Faran agrees to this condition, when it es time to face the Abyssal Plane, I can ask Zi to lead at least eight Divine Beasts, bringing no fewer than one million of the strongest Beastman warriors to appear on the main battlefield.”

“Eight Divine Beasts?” A spark of intensity flashed in O’Brien’s eyes.

He definitely understood how powerful the force of eight Divine Beasts could be, and he couldn’t help but be tempted.

Just as Ye Yinzhu had said, Faran’s Law was set by Faran itself and could be changed at any time.

Just like this time, despite being in the middle of a ten-year Seal, they still waged war on Qin City.

After careful consideration, O’Brien said, “Alright, I agree to it.

However, if the Beastman Clan bees powerful in the future and wages war on the Human World, then Faran will directly join the Human Army to face the Beastman Clan on the battlefield.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “It’s a deal.”

Zi’s emotions clearly became agitated.

If it were not for the presence of outsiders, he probably would have embraced Ye Yinzhu directly, expressing his gratitude in any possible way.

To Human kingdoms, equal trade was a basic thing, but for the Beastman Clan, it held extraordinary significance.

The reason why the Beastman Clan waged its autumn pillaging wars was precisely because their own resources were insufficient to sustain themselves.

The Northernmost Wilderness was rich in various minerals, but not conducive to the growth of plants, especially crops, which were difficult to cultivate there.

Moreover, without exception, the Human countries bordering the Northernmost Wilderness economically oppressed the Beastman.

If the Beastmen wanted to trade resources for food with Humans, the price was almost five times or even sometimes ten times higher than what human nations would trade amongst themselves.

As for trading ore for weapons, that was even more unrealistic.

If there were equal trade terms, with the abundant mineral deposits of the Northernmost Wilderness, why would it be necessary to sacrifice so many Beastmen lives to launch plundering wars?

According to the original plans of Ye Yinzhu and Zi, after Zi united the Northernmost Wilderness, they could covertly purchase a large amount of food from the Milan Empire through Qin City.

Given the relationship between the Milan Empire and Qin City, and with the Beastman Clan not invading Milan territories under Zi’s control, purchasing food could still be guaranteed, but buying weapons and other things would be very difficult.

Now, with Faran’s public support and directives, it’s likely that several countries in the north of the continent wouldn’t dare to defy them.

The Flore Kingdom had already been greatly weakened, and the Milan Empire was a handful for them to deal with, not to mention offending Faran.

As for Milan and Ascoli, they definitely wouldn’t offend Faran just after it had changed its stance.

Facing Faran’s extortionate demands, Ye Yinzhu first managed to secure a huge advantage for the Beastman Clan.

With this, Zi had full confidence that he could rapidly restore the vitality of the Beastman Clan, which had been in a state of war for so long.

O’Brien said, “Do you have any other conditions?”

Ye Yinzhu replied, “Yes, I request that some people from Qin City enter Faran with me.

Since we are to fight against the Abyssal Plane, the stronger our strength, the better.

You also said that Faran is the best place for cultivation.”

O’Brien replied with a bitter smile, “You, kid.” He was somewhat helpless, but the conditions Ye Yinzhu laid out clearly had not crossed his bottom line, “Is this your final condition?”

After contemplating, Ye Yinzhu said, “There is one more.”

O’Brien replied helplessly, “More?

Ye Yinzhu, don’t be too excessive.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly and said, “My last condition is quite simple.

I want absolute freedom.

I can help you reinforce the Seals as the Master of the Dark Tower or deal with the Abyssal Plane.

However, Faran cannot order me to do things I do not wish to do.

Also, so long as there is no issue with the Seal, I can decide my own actions.”

After thinking for a moment, O’Brien said, “As long as the Seal is maintained, I can promise you that.

Faran is absolutely sincere about cooperating with Qin City, and that cooperation is based on equality.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly and said, “The things you promised today can represent all of Faran, right?

I hope there will be no changes in the future.”

O’Brien replied, “Of course they can.

Frankly, if there was not a major issue with the Seal, I fear the oute of today’s events would have been quite different.”

After all, Faran is Faran.

Who would want their dominion to be shared with others?

However, the strength demonstrated by Ye Yinzhu and Qin City had taken Faran by surprise.

Although O’Brien was confident that the Faran Army could annihilate Qin City, it would undoubtedly also greatly weaken Faran, which he did not want to see.

With a Master of the Dark Tower already lost, if casualties were to occur among the Seven Tower Lords of Faran, it was likely that the breaking of the Seal would be much sooner than within thirty years.

Ye Yinzhu said, “Oh, by the way, if I bee one of the Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower, then I can also have a close view of the Seal left by our Divine Dragon Ancestor.”

O’Brien responded seriously, “Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have.

For many years, the Masters of Faran’s Seventh Tower have always felt that the Divine Dragon King of the Eastern Dragon might not have died.”

“What did you say?” O’Brien’s words caused a huge uproar in Ye Yinzhu’s heart.

The Divine Dragon King not dead?

This was of immense significance to the Eastern Dragon, just as equal trade was to the Beastmen.

O’Brien continued, “We are not certain about this.

Since we’ve decided to cooperate with Qin City this time, I hope you, as a direct descendant of the Eastern Dragon, will explore the secrets within.”
