Chapter 594: Above All Lives
Translator: Lonelytree
โBut Edmond is also thinking for the sake of the Alliance. If I were to choose a mage other than the Seven Saints to be the leader of the Alliance, I would choose Edmond without hesitation. He may not be a good person, but he will be a very good leader. โDo you know what a good leaderโs basic qualities are?โ
Matthew blinked.
It meant that he didnโt know anything. Soria smiled gently and continued,
โ That is to understand the art of compromise.
โImprisoning Isabelle was a compromise between the Alliance and the gods. In that era, the foundation of the Alliance wasnโt stable yet; natural disasters occurred frequently in the prime material plane, and the outer planes were even more unstable.
โAs one of the leaders, Isabelle never understood what compromise was.
โShe thought she was Yin.
โHowever, she did not have Yinโs strength.
โTherefore, she became the target of compromise.
โSheโs a very extreme person, so she canโt understand what weโre doing.
โShe swallowed the Chaos Mystery Lock and transformed herself into a Divine Lich.
โBut you must not imitate her.
โBecause she has the ability to transform back at any time, but you donโt. โThe two Lich Apprentices who followed her back then have long since been
reduced to ashes.โ
Soria said this with a smile in his eyes and a gentle tone.
But Matthew heard a strong warning.
What she meant was-
If he cooperated with Isabelle, he would be reduced to ashes!
Matthew could only lower his head deeply, then lift it up forcefully and look at Soria.
I will make a decision that follows my heart.โ
Soria smiled.
โI hope your heart is guiding you in the right direction.
โBut then again, Isabelleโs idea is somewhat correct.
โAfter getting used to compromising.
โSome people might not be able to be tough anymore.
โIf he could always sacrifice a small number of peopleโs interests in exchange for more of his own interests.
โThen who would be willing to fight to the death?
โTo put it bluntly.
โThose whose interests were sacrificed would never have the chance to make a sound on a higher stage, f๐ซe๐we๐n๐จ๐el.๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฆ
โAnd their predicament.
โWhat does it have to do with us, existences above all living beings?
โWe are holy mages, legendary mages, and we hold power that they cannot look directly at.
โWe can even comfort ourselves that we didnโt compromise but only made a better exchange.โ
When she said these words.
A strong sense of self-mockery appeared on her face.
Matthew was a little confused.
He realized that he did not understand Soriaโs position at all.
If Isabelle was a firm radical, then he had once thought that Soria was a conservative like Edmond.
But now, it seemed likeโฆ
She seemed to agree with some of Isabelleโs ideas.
Matthew could only sigh and say,
โ These things are still too far away for me. Iโm not much different from the common people you mentioned. Forgive me for not being able to feel the vision and structure of the common people. After all, Iโm just a small mage with low magic power.โ
Soriaโs eyes flickered when he heard that.
โ Not to the extent of a little mage. Although I canโt see much of your background, a person who can catch Ronan and Isabelleโs eye is definitely not an ordinary person.
โDo you think that the spells that I solidified for you are something that ordinary people can enjoy?
Itโs just that Isabelle placed a bet on you, so I naturally had to follow up. In order not to arouse her disgust, I delibera tely took your money.โ
Matthew was stunned.
These words implied that there was a strong tacit understanding between Soria and Isabelle.
They called each other best friends.
But that was fake.
However, on a deeper level, they seemed to still maintain a tacit understanding.
But was there a need to make it so complicated?
Just as Matthew was confused.
Soria said even more clearly,
โActually, she asked you to come and look for me today because she wanted to send me a friendly signal.
โShe wanted to ally with me against the nameless mageโDo you know the nameless mage?
โHim, Isabelle, Link, and I are the four known Holy Mages of the Alliance.
โStrictly speaking.
โI replaced Isabelle, who betrayed the Alliance and became a Heavenly Mage.
โShe isnโt actually a member of the Alliance now.
โHowever, her prestige in the Alliance was too high, so her enemies could not completely eliminate her.
โAnd the most powerful enemy was the supporter behind Edmond, the nameless one who was also a holy mage.
โThe nameless had no name.
โHe was Yinโs descendant, but his ideology was completely different from Isabelleโs.
โThe nameless Wizard was very low-key, and his strength was unfathomable. In the Alliance, you would hardly hear any legends about him.
โHe was truly a nameless person.
โHe is also Isabelleโs greatest enemy.
โYou donโt have to know too much about him. Just like you said, youโre still very weak. If you enter the higher-upsโ game early, youโll be at risk of being crushed at any time.โ
Of course, thereโs no need for you to be frightened by what youโve seen today. You donโt even want to eat or drink. The game between Holy Mages is dangerous, but weโre also much more tolerant than you think.
โTo put it more bluntly, Isabelleโs goal will be achieved if you come to me.
โShe asked you to help her kill Edmond. The symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning. She only wants your loyalty.
โThe key to this matter is to let you come to me in the name of seeking advice..โ
