Chapter 37 Puppet

   The game "Lost Watcher" has four endings.

  The best of them is the ending of the full moon. After the heroes of the Watcher of the End sealed the rift in the moon realm, they disarmed and returned to their fields and became a legend. This perfect archive of William's crossing was completed after this ending.

  The normal ending is the new moon ending. Although the protagonist repelled the invasion of the moon realm, the biggest rift could not be closed.

   Then comes the ending of the waning moon. The protagonist sacrificed his soul and turned into the incarnation of the seven holy spirits, and beat the three kings of nothingness, who had already stepped into the world, in the domain of destruction and returned to the moon realm. But after the sacrifice of the protagonist, the next invasion is brewing in the moon realm.

   And the darkest is the ending of the lunar eclipse. The protagonist betrayed the final watcher and became the 14th Void King. Together with other Void Kings, he used the world as his own chessboard to control the fate of mortals.

  William was dissatisfied with every ending, especially the last ending. If it wasn't for the purpose of completing the collection of all achievements, he would not touch that ending.

The reason is also very simple. In the game, those nihilistic kings who play with other people's fate one by one are really disgusting, but the game developers have not designed one that can rush into the moon and cut off the heads of those nihilistic kings. ending.

   Even in the entire game, the Void Kings didn't even light up the health bar, and the protagonists could only fight their avatars.

William doesn't know if there will be a chance to beat the King of Nothingness if there is a sequel to this game, but now that he has traveled here and can make choices without being forced by the developer's plot framework, then he will have a chance to make up for that regret. .

   is like a very controversial game in the early 2000s. If it wasn't for that option in the game, he would definitely kill the enemy who shot his adoptive father's head with a golf club, instead of choosing to forgive her.

   Of course, dealing with Luna is a war, not a simple RPG adventure, so he must seize power first.

   "Everything? What does everything include?"

   Vincent asked in a solemn tone.

   "What is included is not everything."

   William said.

   "Everything is everything, this mine, the entire source silver industry, the City of Thorns, the Blackwater Province, and more importantly - the people under your rule."

   "You want to be the king of Blackwater?"

   "I will choose a more suitable person to be the king of Blackwater Province, but that person will not be me."

   If someone else said that, Vincent would only think of him as a lunatic, but if a magic caster who has reached the realm of the gods said this, the weight would be completely different.

  There are many people who say that Duke Simon can sit firmly on the throne of thorns under such a strong ruling style, at least half of the reason is because there is a "first person under the legend" loyal to him as a box stone.

   Vincent does not fully agree with this sentence, but he also has to admit that his existence gives Duke Simon a lot of confidence when making some radical changes.

   If Duke Simon's political opponent had a magic caster with the same strength as him, the balance would definitely be broken.

   And this is just the pinnacle of the master field.

   What about the legendary realm?

What about    God’s Domain?

  Vincent has no doubt that this person in front of him has the ability to turn the entire city of thorns upside down, so he did not question, but said directly.

   "You choose a king, and then make that person a puppet you manipulate? Sir, we seek independence from the empire in order to prevent our own destiny from being manipulated by others."

   "So you choose to let your destiny be controlled by the Void King? That's really a good choice."

   "So you don't deny that the new ruler will be your puppet?"

   "That person will agree with my philosophy and will not have anything to do with the Moon Realm. If you think this is my puppet, then I have nothing to say."

   "What is your philosophy?"

   Vincent asked William's eyes.

   And the other party replied after pondering for a moment.

   "Humanity will never again be controlled by the gods."

   What he said earlier was not half as arrogant as this sentence, and for a while Vincent didn't know how to reply to him.

   It took a long time before Sente murmured.

   "This is impossible... Even as strong as William Kane can't cut off the connection between the moon and the world."

   "That's because he didn't have that condition before, but now he has."

   The person did not elaborate on the specific conditions, but continued to tell him.

   "I'm willing to tell you this, on the one hand, because I know your daughter, and she gave me some help before."

   Hearing William's words, Vincent couldn't help feeling a little toothache.

   It's good, Liliana.

   Vincent thought.

   But how could He De He, an apprentice-level magic caster, provide help to a divine domain mage?

  William ignored the other party's suddenly strange expression and continued.

"On the other hand, it's because I've noticed since you came in that you don't have the aura of the Moon Realm. So although you claim to be a believer in the Moon Realm, so far you haven't really had a relationship with the Moon Realm. Did you make a deal?"

   Vincent nodded slowly.

   Replacing the Seven Holy Spirits with the ancient belief of the Three Goddesses was the Duke's plan, and in fact he was against it from the very beginning.

   And the reason is as I said before, handing over your destiny from the hands of the Empire to the hands of the Void King is not necessarily the right choice.

   It’s just that they are all controlled by people, and the gods may not be merciful, but the cost of mortal greed is even greater than that of the gods.

After taking back the Origin Silver industry, the empire tightened its taxes on the Blackwater Province year after year, increased its support for rival families, and reduced the ration of magic casters in the Blackwater Province, and in various names, Several legions were dispatched to the border between Blackwater Province and Platinum Province.

   These real pressures cannot be ignored.

   Coupled with the "Holy Tomb" that Duke Simon used as the last card, if you want to awaken the power there, you must also get the help of the three goddesses.

   In this way, even from the most pragmatic point of view, it is imperative to replace the plan of the seven holy spirits with the beliefs of the three goddesses.

   Like many other choices, these are necessary sacrifices.

   But for Vincent personally, he only believes in his own strength. Therefore, he has never chosen to embrace the power of the Moon Realm like other compatriots in the Mage Hall.

  Even if the Duke found him a powerful moon spirit that would allow him to break through the legendary limit, he chose to give up that opportunity.

   On this point, he holds the same opinion as the mysterious magic caster in front of him, but he agrees because of his bad position.

  Power is what is yours and is yours, and no one else can take it away. The power borrowed from other places does not belong to him after all.

   "So what exactly do you mean?"

  Thinking of this, Vincent asked.

   "Didn't you say earlier that becoming the king of Blackwater Province with my help would only mean becoming my puppet?"

   William said with a smile.

   "Then if you believe enough in your own will, this puppet will be yours, what do you think?"

   Well, there is no third update _(:3⌒)_
