Chapter 573 Uninvited guest?
"Well, what you said makes sense. So let's skip this plan. Now everyone agrees that we can solve it on our own, right?"
To Elhaysen's surprise, the traveler did not explain too much in this regard, but quickly compromised. This was a bit unexpected for him... Originally, he thought that even if the other party didn't use this method, he would at least prove his innocence, or prove his innocence for her friend.
"Oh? Are you compromising so soon? Yes, of course we have to solve our own affairs by ourselves. What's the point of always thinking about asking for help from others? Traveler, I'm optimistic about you!"
Desiya was obviously a little surprised, but she knew that the relationship between the traveler and the executive was not generally good.
But unlike Elhaysen who was lost in thought, Desiya didn't get too entangled in this aspect.
In her opinion, her own affairs should be solved by herself. When it comes to Xumi's troubles, the Xumi people should find a solution themselves.
Of course it doesn't matter if travelers don't have a clear position, but what does it sound like to always think about asking for help from other countries?
"The compromise is faster than expected... Anyway, let's start discussing countermeasures."
Seeing the rapid change in the traveler's attitude, Elhaysen realized that there might be something wrong with one of his previous guesses, so he stopped worrying about it.
Perhaps the purpose of this traveler's three plans was just to make one of the extremely difficult plans look more reasonable and better.
After all, option two is indeed very risky, and many people may hesitate to take it out alone.
But if the other two even more unacceptable options are presented, then the extremely difficult option will also become the optimal solution.
But I didn't realize that this seemingly upright traveler was also so scheming...
"Originally, we wanted to vote to discuss the most suitable direction. Of course, I don't have to hold on to one... Anyway, now the second option has been unanimously approved. Now let's discuss how we can rescue the people imprisoned in Jingshan Palace. Nasita."
Elhaysen was right about one thing. She really didn't want them to choose to ask Zuo Xi for help.
The reason is very simple. Zuo Xi himself has too much time to take care of himself now. The reason why he can live for five years is because of the gift of the Ice Queen...
In the final analysis, this incident was the action of the Joint Executive Officer of the Order Council, and Zuo Xi had no reasonable reason to help them from his position.
If he really intervened and ruined the Fools' plan by himself, I don't know if this would be considered his "betrayal". I don’t know if the gods of Winter will regard this as a betrayal.
She didn't even know if there was any will from the gods of Winter behind this matter... After all, they were planning for the gods of Sumeru. With such a situation, it wouldn't be surprising even if there was the shadow of another god behind the whole thing.
Zuo Xi relied on the Winter God to survive. If he disobeyed the other party because of this, it was hard to say whether the "gift" that had been given would be taken back.
Five years...five years may not be able to find a solution, but it is definitely better than half a year.
What's more, this half-year doesn't start from now. After so long, it's hard to tell how much time is left.
If the Ice Queen really wants to punish Zuo Xi and withdraw the "treatment" given to him, then it is not impossible that Zuo Xi will die suddenly in a few days at the moment of withdrawing it.
All in all, Ying doesn't want to take this risk. That's why she didn't give any explanation and let them question Zuo Xi's position and ability.
The result was as she expected, everyone unanimously chose option two.
"Ha... I say it as if this is something you can decide. I said... what do you think Zuo Xi is? A convenient tool that can be used anytime and anywhere?"
A voice that did not belong to everyone present suddenly sounded, instantly arousing everyone's alertness. The suppressed anger in the voice made people feel chilly, and everyone couldn't help but shudder.
There is someone, and the person who comes is not good!
When she realized this, Ying noticed that frost had begun to float in the surrounding air... The cold breath was not an illusion, the temperature in this palace was really dropping rapidly.
"Although I don't get along with you, a woman, I rarely agree with this point... You guys really make me unhappy."
Another voice sounded, and the words also contained anger. The concentration of water element in the air suddenly increased, and together with the sky full of frost, it condensed into ice crystals and adhered to the surfaces of everyone present.
Ying summoned the edgeless sword and stood in front of everyone. The one who made the same move as her was Desiya.
At this moment, she had taken out her usual big sword, and the fire elemental power was wrapped around her body, competing with the ice and water elemental power.
Ying frowned, she recognized these two uninvited guests.
"...[Master]...and, [Ms.]."
