Eblana: It's All Your Fault, Kal'tsit!

So all that was left on the sidelines was Kal'tsit was cleaning up the fruit platters.

Indeed, after decades, this time the Royal Court meeting finally had a fruit platter.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

After finishing the cleanup, Kal'tsit found Huang Cao, who was roasting sweet potatoes with the King of the Scavengers, based on her Remembrance.

"Grandpa, how does it taste? This is the best sweet potato in my territory."

Nizere took a sniff of the enticing aroma emanating from the sweet potato, and his ancient body nodded involuntarily.

"It smells much better than the stench of rotting corpses; even I had to stop and rest."

"Why is the old man so artistic... Say something that ordinary people can understand."

Give me ten!

Watching the old man and the child roasting sweet potatoes on the Demon King City, Kal'tsit increasingly felt that the world was going mad.

Is this still Terra?

Huang Cao handed the roasted sweet potato to the King of the Scavengers, and the ancient god of war swallowed the sweet potato whole in one gulp.

"Speaking of which, old man, is the corpse tastier or this nuptial pot?"

"Young man, believe me, stale meat will never taste good. Even in nature, scavengers often have no choice but to eat carrion."

Nizere's voice was deep yet resonant, as if it had traveled through countless years back to the glorious era of his race.

Born for war, and died because of war.

"The Speaker, may I address you by this title?"

When this ancient Scavenger Royal Court, uttered those four words, Kal'tsit was secretly watching from the side, paused in her breath.

Oh no, does this mean today is the day the war starts?

But Huang Cao didn't react at all, as if she had expected it, and handed the roasted sweet potato to Nizere.

"Old man, I knew there were still smart people in this country, but I know you won't do anything to me."

"I would never make such a foolish decision. On the contrary, I learned a lesson from that lich."

"Nizere said."

Huang Cao: "I guess the principle is that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket."

"The Speaker truly wise, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Nizere laughed like an amused old man.

Then his expression hardened. "Actually, I originally planned to tell His Highness about your situation and imprison you during the meeting. But when I saw my former enemy standing next to His Highness, I felt that I couldn't understand this era anymore."

Kal'tsit felt a chill on her neck...

"Since Your Highness can work with former enemies, I can also show my tolerance. Kazdel needs change and external stimulation. I am powerless to change this country."

"Therefore, I am willing to place my bet on Your Highness and you."

The commotion at Eden was so great that it couldn't possibly satisfy everyone.

As the god of war, Nizere has just as many spies as any other country.

They had already gathered information about the Garden of Eden not long ago.

He was instantly shocked when he learned of what Huang Cao had done.

This behemoth is thriving right under Kazdel's nose, and could easily overthrow the country with a single move.

But faced with such a prosperous Eden, Nizere hesitated, a rare occurrence for him.

Because most of the inhabitants there are Sarkaz, the people of Eden enjoy a happier life than anywhere else in the whole of Terra's land.

Do I really want to destroy the happy lives of my fellow countrymen because of this so-called Demon King?

In the past Nizere would have done it without hesitation.

But the long war had changed his heart, and a glimmer of hope had emerged from the endless numbness...

Originally Nizere wanted to extinguish this last glimmer of hope at the meeting, but Kal'tsit's appearance made him hesitate again.

Your Highness and your former enemy...

If Theresia can do that, why can't I place my hopes for Kazdel's future on someone else?

I can also choose the monarch I approve of.

You betrayed us first!

Kazdel does not belong to the Demon King; the Demon King belongs to Kazdel!

"Mr. Huang Cao, if you can prove yourself, I will make you king."

Nizere spoke to Huang Cao in a low but firm voice.

Chapter 151 Nizere: It's all your fault, Kal'tsit!

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; we cannot completely ignore you just because I, the Scavenger Royal Court, usually don't talk much.

The Corpse Eaters were one of the Royal Court that contributed the most during the war, but many of them also perished in the conflict.

After all, being hard to die doesn't mean you won't die.

Therefore, he also harbors a hatred towards Kal'tsit. In the original storyline, he had no choice but to choose his own boss.

Even if you really dislike this cat, you can only put up with it for the sake of the bigger picture.

But now this ancient Immortals has a choice.

Moreover, there's no harm without comparison. Look at how others have developed, and then look at how we have developed. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Since you, Theresia, can choose your enemies, I can also choose a better ruler than you.

This is the astonishing wisdom of this pink-haired one girl; she truly treats her colleagues as obedient NPCs.

They don't consider other people's feelings at all when they do things; do they really think they're the only one in this country?

How to send out your strongest fighter using a Kal'tsit.

If it were someone else who had allied with Kal'tsit Nizere wouldn't have done something like this.

The problem is that the one who reconciled with this cat was the spiritual symbol of the entire nation, namely the Demon King.

This immediately broke Nizere; forget about atonement.

I'd consider it an honor that Your Highness has tried her best if Kal'tsit even wore an iron chain on her wrist.

Oh no, Your Highness is really going to be all alone now.

Kal'tsit stood at the doorway, watching this scene in disbelief.

It was already extremely difficult to deal with Huang Cao alone, and now they also have to add the Banshee and the Scavenger Royal Court.

Is this game really that hard to play?

Just as Kal'tsit was about to leave, a green-haired girl dressed in a maid outfit came running quickly from a distance.

And in an instant, he snatched the roasted sweet potato.

"Take me with you, and from now on, Huang Cao, you'll be my boss!"

Shapeshifter Collective! And where did you come from?

Kal'tsit was incredulous. When exactly did Master Huang connect these two Royal Court?

I haven't missed anything crucial in all these decades...

Seeing the Shapeshifter take all his sweet potatoes in one go, Nizere instantly stood up and smashed the slime into a pile with a single blow of his staff.

It's clear that he really enjoys roasted sweet potatoes.

"Don't be so stingy~ Just ask the Speaker to bake a few more for you."

The Shapeshifter Collective, which had transformed back to their original form from a mass, rubbed their thick but elastic armor in front of Master Huang.

She then gave Kal'tsit a provocative look before pulling two paper cups out of her pocket.

"Master Huang, I have something good to show you, but I'm a little shy about doing it in front of so many people..."

The Shapeshifter Collective blushed as they spoke.

Huang Cao checked the time and, thinking it was still early, followed along to see what tricks this slime was up to.

About five minutes later, when Master Huang returned, he had two steaming cups of "tumor milk" in his hands.

"Try it and see how the quality is."

The Shapeshifter Collective looked at the Huang Cao in front of them with expectant eyes and wiped their maid outfits on their chests with paper.

Having witnessed the entire process, Huang Cao gained a new understanding of the Shapeshifter race.

Goodness, this body-shaping ability is almost on par with Abundance; it can even imitate this.

This completely shattered Huang Cao's worldview.

"Oh, how could this be... These two cups were all created through my own hard work, absolutely no other person's genes involved~ If you're willing to contribute, I wouldn't mind..."

Nizere turned around, feeling that the birth of such an oddball in the Royal Court was a disgrace to the Sarkaz.

In the end, the two milky white drinks could only be consumed by the Shapeshifter themselves, who drank them while eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Nizere wasn't too surprised by the sudden addition of the Shapeshifter, or rather, he had been mentally prepared for it.

After all, this person's age is comparable to Kal'tsit's, almost on par with the entire history of Kazdel.

It's a true relic of the past; even the Blood Demon Lord and the King of the Scavengers would have to call it their grandparents.

Moreover, because of his fun-loving personality, nothing he does is too strange.

After all, you can never predict what a person who only thinks about happiness will do in the next second.

You might feel that life is meaningless one second and die the next.

"Don't speak so soon, sir. I have no plans to take over this country yet, and you can continue to serve under Theresia."

Nizere bowed slightly. "As a subject, I will do everything in my power to be loyal to the Demon King, unless Kazdel has another way out in the future."

"At least in my heart, you have become the second choice for this country."

After saying that, he gave Kal'tsit a sharp look, who was staring intently at everyone from the side.

This is all your fault!

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to choose between Your Highness and Huang Cao!

The boy sighed and stretched in the bright sunshine. "Okay, actually, I just don't want to take over."

Kazdel's future is indeed in my plans, but it's a very low priority. I don't want to deal with this mess that's going on for the siblings.

"You mean you can handle it?"

"It's been thousands of years, but no one has been able to change the Sarkaz's fate," Nizere asked curiously.

"Because these self-proclaimed wise men did not live in a good era."

Huang Cao shook his head, but he also affirmed his own abilities.

"So before I take complete action against this country, I should let Theresia get the infrastructure sorted out first, so that I don't have to do everything myself later."

Taking over now is just too much trouble.

Even if you don't personally take charge in the future, you should at least think about the employees who will take over this country in the future.

There are still 80 years until the War of the Four Emperors begins, and 140 years until the Tower of Babel storyline.

Even if Theresia and Kal'tsit possessed extraordinary wisdom during this period, they shouldn't have been unable to build Mobile City in Kazdel.

By then, the infrastructure should be mostly completed, making it easier for the siblings to take over after they've done the groundwork.

Moreover, the siblings will later engage in a civil war, so it will be convenient and easy for me to reap the rewards at that historical juncture.

If we take over on a whim now, Huang Cao will truly become a poverty alleviation project.
