After the conversation, Xiute and others were imprisoned in a remote courtyard in the palace, and 20 magic net walkers were arranged to monitor them day and night.

Settled down a little in the other courtyard.

Shute was complained by his wife Elias:

"Xute, I told you not to talk so much, why didn't you listen? We originally only had to stay in a dark place for about 10 years at most, but now, you've messed up everything!"

His wife's words made Xiute lower his head: "I...how do I know that there is our child suddenly in your belly? We have been married for ten years, and I have long given up on the fantasy of becoming a father."

Shute's wife, Ilyas, suffered a serious injury during the nearly 20 years of wandering with him in the world. Unfortunately, she lost her fertility. The doctor diagnosed that there was no possibility of pregnancy. Ilyas was desperate. She asked Shute to leave her countless times, but how could the man she loved let her be hurt again?

With a happy DINK family, Xiute has nothing to be dissatisfied about. He feels it is perfect.

But he didn't expect that Elias still gave him an unexpected... shock.

"Eliyas, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shute said helplessly.

"I thought I might have it last month, but I wasn't sure. I planned to observe it for a while and then give you a surprise, but you..."

Ilyas shook her head: "You are really... stupid today."

"me……"

Shute slapped his head in frustration, "How did I know things would turn out like this?!"

Misstep.

Shute now realized that he had made a complete mistake!

The reason why he dared to boldly put forward all his guesses just now was that he was actually gambling!

One, I bet His Majesty Emperor Noctis, is the target they are looking for!

At this step, his bet was successful, and the emperor frankly told him that his guess was correct.

The second is to bet that this young emperor has the ability to help others connect to the Magic Network, so that he can explain where the hundreds of "Magic Network Walkers" came from.

He also made the right bet on this step.

The third step is to bet on the young emperor's ambitions and dreams, which must be very big... On the premise that he has an empire and no less than 100 magic network walkers, he must be eager to change the world.

This time he made the right bet again!

The next development of things will definitely enter the rhythm designed by Shute.

The fourth step that Xiute had to do was to tell the young emperor that his idea was great, his talent was amazing, and he would definitely become a great emperor... After some words of praise, , starting to turn into "but".

But what?

However, the Blue Hand Guild is very, very powerful. It can mobilize tens of thousands of times the power of the Orunian Empire, and can easily defeat His Majesty the Emperor.

Considering that Noctis was only 15 years old and could not listen to his persuasive words, Shute also organized a more polite and implicit language and cited some less irritating examples to let the young emperor in front of him know what he wanted. How powerful is the object of the challenge?

In short, as long as he gets into Shute's rhythm, Shute has a way to make the young emperor Noctis willing to listen to his words, accept the meaning of his expression, understand the difficulty of the challenge project, and finally give up some of the things in his mind. Intend.

Then the Shute Council suggested that Noctis adjust his plan and join the "Blue Hand" union. With His Majesty's ability and talent, he will definitely do something impressive in the union.

The union will also give him many opportunities to display his talents and reach higher and higher positions... and even become the highest magic network manager.

Anyway, as long as Noctis joins the "Blue Hand", his dream can still be realized, and it will even be easier.

However, Shute's idea only reached the third step before it came to an abrupt end. Instead, he received a piece of news that was either surprising or joyful. He had his soul string cut off, lost almost all his strength, and fell into even greater passivity. .

Only then did Shute realize that he seemed to have entered the rhythm of the young emperor, using up all his cards and unable to bargain any more.

"Eliyas, what should we do? What should we do?" Xiute scratched his head in pain, his heart was completely messed up.

"Wait, wait patiently, we are already on the chopping block." Ilyas said expressionlessly.

"I'm still young and I don't want to die so early anyway," Atlam said.

"I heard that the consequences for betraying the union will be very miserable, and you won't be able to escape the pursuit!" Pickel, who had already realized something, said with a look of despair.

…

Three days later.

Zhou Ming walked into this courtyard and met Xiute and others.

The first thing he said was: "How is it? Have you thought about it? It's been three days, I guess you should be mentally prepared, I want to ask you: Can you just give me what I want to hear? Please reply so as not to waste too much of everyone’s time.”

"Dear Your Majesty, I still hope you can give me a chance to finish what I have to say... just give me a quarter of an hour."

Xiute walked up to Zhou Ming, bent down and saluted.

"Are you trying to say that the Blue Hand is very powerful, and persuade me to give up my plan to fight against them, and even join the Blue Hand and become one of you, climbing up from the bottom, and with my talents, I will eventually become Achieve something and embrace a successful future?”

Zhou Ming said directly.

"This...Your Majesty, you..."

Shute was stunned. How could Noctis even guess what he wanted to say?

"Swallow what you are saying. I know everything you want to say. I also know the power of the Blue Hand. There is nothing I don't know about everything you know."

Zhou Ming said: "Now, the only thing I want to know is: did the four of you make a choice and make a right choice?"

After hearing this, Xiute and others were silent for a while.

After a long time, he said: "Sorry, Your Majesty, we haven't thought about it yet."

"Well!"

Zhou Ming nodded: "Let me make my words clear. There are only two options before you: surrender or death. Choose one of the two. Of course I know that this choice is difficult to make, so... three days , I’ll give you three more days to think about it.”

"After three days, tell me your answers...I won't let your hesitation and discussion waste too much time."

"See you in three days."

After saying that, Zhou Ming waved his hand and left the villa.
