Chapter 1646 465: Mouse and Butterfly (Part 4)
Is it interesting?
"Understanding...is not so certain."
Luo Yan thought for a while and said with a touch of humor in his voice, "If I truly didn't understand at all, guess how this butterfly ended up in my hand?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of envy flashed clearly in Urgos's eyes, along with a hint of greed and desire.
His followers greatly outnumber the Deceitful Fog by more than a magnitude, spanning countless universes, yet the lack of knowledge is his eternal pain.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge is either snatched away by the Crown of Pride or deceived by the Deceitful Fog, and they would never choose him.
He also wishes to lead his children in conquering countless planets, to cultivate deeply within his universe and expand the domain of faith, but it's impossible.
Moreover—
Not just the secret treasure of the Deceitful Fog, he also desires the man in front of him.
He has capability, ambition, and desire!
If he could convert this guy into his Chosen One, perhaps his domain of faith could expand by another magnitude!
Making him a Native God would be a waste of talent!
"Kid, let's make a deal."
"Oh?"
"That butterfly is of no use to you, you can't even fly out of your own planet, nor traverse between universes. Why not give it to me, and I'll give you the Nest City of this world... No, I'll even throw in a better one!"
Facing those tempting whispers, Luo Yan smiled faintly and cast his gaze towards the king clinging to life.
"Then when I die, it goes back to you, right? Just like those stray dogs we saw before, cycling in your Nest City."
Dealing with demons at most sells your soul in this life, but trading with chaos cashes in all future blessings.
Moreover, it's not that he intentionally derides this guy, is there such a crude method of poaching?
Selling your soul to the "Crown of Pride" at least lets you mix as a Sage, selling to the "Eternal Hunger Claw"... hasn't seen anyone end well.
Clearly hit the nerve, Urgos attached to the mouse froze in place, unable to utter a word.
He really did think so.
Just didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.
At this moment, the dying elder suddenly looked at the window sill, saw the mouse and butterfly standing there, and showed a hint of surprise.
A butterfly is fine.
How could a dirty thing like a mouse appear in his palace?!
Zaied was about to explode, suddenly noticing something, a cold sweat unconsciously slid down his age-spotted face.
He vaguely recalled hearing from a witch doctor that mice and butterflies are spiritual things, although he always told those around him he didn't believe in it, he was actually the most suspicious.
Especially recently he kept dreaming about "Grove" and "Gopal", these old friends he killed many years ago, he always felt they weren't doing well down there.
He finally realized where the gaze from the void came from, it's at his window, not under the bed.
He took a breath and said with his aged voice.
"Distinguished guests... where do you come from?"
Urgos was quite restless, really didn't feel like engaging him, so casually brushed him off.
"None of your business, just go back to sleep."
Zaied never imagined the mouse would speak, truly startled him pale, but still forced himself to calm down.
"Are you from below? Or above?"
He tentatively asked, but the two divine beings didn't respond to him, just chatted amongst themselves, treating him like air.
Zaied couldn't help but feel a little irritable, wanted to explode, yet feared the two might have come to fetch him, causing a rash resentment isn't good.
Moreover, he felt his time is almost up and probably needs to arrange his affairs.
In a softened tone, he looked at the mouse who previously engaged him, rare reverence shining through.
"Respec—um, Lord God, I won't trouble you with others, just humbly wish you could fulfill a small wish of mine, I'll repay you one day!"
Urgos didn't speak, but Luo Yan was intrigued by the king who awakened spiritual abilities, curiously said.
"Oh? What wish?"
Zaied coughed.
"I have thirty children, but I haven't decided who will be the crown prince, I need to choose someone to succeed me, could you... give me a suggestion?"
Before the butterfly beside could answer, Urgos impatiently said.
"What difference does it make, none of them are yours anyway."
None are...
Zaied's face turned completely white.
His despair mirrored that of Selas standing outside Twilight City, like a gambler who won it all but lost everything in the last round.
Thinking that this guy would soon take his last breath, return to Aus Continent twenty years ago, relive the despair he just experienced until Twilight Province's "Nest City" collapses, Luo Yan wasn't sure whether to pity this unfamiliar old man.
What immense sins he committed.
And right then, the continuous space suddenly rippled in transparent waves, pausing everything in this world.
Or perhaps, the only ones frozen were the mouse and butterfly on the window sill.
"Since you refused me, we have nothing left to discuss, you can roll out of my room—"
