I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1115 - 586: Protagonist, Antagonist, and Mastermind Gather for a Discussion
"At first, yes, even though Green Sorrow mentioned it, but after going over the timeline, Green Sorrow was created by you, and I should also be something you created, used as a pawn to restrain Green Sorrow, right." Ruben was no fool; even if he didn't want to admit it, he thought about it seriously during this time.
During this time, he discovered a lot of clues and corresponding flaws. Previously, he ignored them because he hadn't thought deeply, but now he calmed his mind.
Gu Shanhai was actually quite surprised by Ruben's identity; at first, he was indeed a villain, and this positioning was not wrong.
But after he left, because of Destructive Frost, which caused the Wizard World to save itself, in this way, as Ruben had strong power, his identity was forcibly shifted, becoming a supporting character assisting the main character, Green Sorrow.
If Gu Shanhai hadn't returned in time, after another period of adaptation, the supporting role identity would have been confirmed.
One can only say that a villain or a supporting character is like a brick; it goes wherever it's needed.
"That's right, speaking of disasters, Green Sorrow, you should know how it started, right?" Gu Shanhai meant that if Isso wasn't brain-dead, a series of bizarre events wouldn't have happened.
But Green Sorrow's understanding seemed a bit different from Gu Shanhai's.
"Of course, I know, isn't it because of the greed of the nobles."
"If it weren't for that fool Korsi coveting Isso's magic device, none of this would have happened."
"These things were originally meant for Isso, but he not only wanted to seize them through conspiracy, but also wanted to enslave Isso, eventually causing the magic device and bloodline on him to mutate, forming a terrible curse." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Green Sorrow succinctly summarized it.
"Actually, this counts as a good thing. If you hadn't merged with all the nobles and priests, they might have backstabbed you by now." Gu Shanhai didn't correct but joked.
"That's right, if it wasn't for that fool Korsi, I wouldn't have been born either." Green Sorrow couldn't help but laugh coldly; of course, he should be grateful.
Ruben was also helpless about these annoying matters because he understood that even if he had known about them in advance, it wouldn't have made a difference.
When he wasn't thinking, he could just kill, kill, kill. But once his mind turned back online, as a noble, he would think about many things, such as influence, interests, human relationships, etc., rather than simply cutting up people as before.
If when he obtained the King of Kings bloodline, his mind hadn't gone offline, he wouldn't have made a great fanfare about expanding outward, but would have used interests exchange, conspiracies, and tricks, in short, using noble ways, not the ways of the barbarian.
Also, he wouldn't have possibly handed over all the nobles to be merged by Green Sorrow, but would have held them as his own foundation, even if this foundation might backstab him. As a noble, he would have gladly accepted it, because this is the way of noble survival.
"Alright, whatever you needed to know you've known, now please leave." Gu Shanhai issued an order to leave, thinking it's already very considerate not to slam the door in their faces, especially since he was in a good mood today, he would even chat with them for a bit.
"Wait, I want to ask, how can I join the academy with my family?" Ruben now expressed his core question, knowing that, upon entering Hogwarts Witchcraft Academy, that the academy's barrier could withstand the Destructive Frost to the greatest extent.
So if he wanted to survive, the best way was to join the academy.
"If it was just you, I wouldn't mind, you could even take on Hagrid's role, but with your idea to bring your family, I'm afraid that won't work." Gu Shanhai said slowly.
Though Ruben could make sense of it, his sisters, brothers, uncles, and aunts, all still carried their noble airs, thinking highly of their status. Truly bringing them into the academy, a bloody event might just happen.
Did they really think Gu Shanhai would treat them as nobles? No, he would just make them work, like cleaning or garbage disposal. With their 'noble' identities, how could they tolerate such humiliation?
"I can pay, I just need..." Ruben said helplessly.
"Well said, here, I have a copper coin, try spending it." Gu Shanhai, saying that, casually took out a copper coin from his pocket.
This meaning was clear, what's the use of money, you wouldn't even be able to spend it, everyone's dead, the so-called gold coin is only worthless scrap metal.
The value of currency is given by people, not inherent.
Now there are only a few living beings in the Wizard World, money is utterly useless.
"Since you returned to your normal character, you've become more and more nonsensical." Green Sorrow also mocked, using money? That's the biggest joke he's heard.
"Then what do you need?" Ruben asked again, what else could he do?
"Me, I don't need anything, moreover, what I want, you can't give."
"Even everything you have now is due to the King of Kings bloodline I gave you, not your own effort."
"Theoretically speaking, you're actually mine; isn't it a bit inappropriate to use my things to make a deal with me?"
After Gu Shanhai finished speaking, Ruben didn't know what to say.
He really wanted to refute using his noble ways, but sitting in front of him was Gu Shanhai, a powerful wizard who could shape his own will at a whim.
If he spoke up, it would be like asking for humiliation.
Because he knew in his heart, Gu Shanhai was telling the truth, everything of his came from him.
The other person could give him, but he could also take it back.
"Am I like this too?" Green Sorrow asked out of curiosity.
"Ah, actually it wasn't like this at first, I intended to make Isso my disciple, but after observing for a while, you should be clear about Isso's situation, right?"
"So I gave him a test, he not only messed it up but also caused this kind of blunder, making me have to fiddle out another King of Kings bloodline to deal with it."
Gu Shanhai, without any hesitation, shifted the blame.
Anyone can be blamed, but it definitely can't be his fault.
Hearing this, Green Sorrow's eyes lit up: "Then do I still have a chance now?"
Green Sorrow shamelessly approached, wanting to become a disciple.
"Not possible, your mind is too complicated, not suitable for my line of teaching." Gu Shanhai sternly refused.
Green Sorrow, having merged with a large number of humans, is considered extremely fickle; now he seems harmless because his power is not as great as Gu Shanhai's.
Thus, this doesn't fit with Gu Shanhai's disciple line at all; he doesn't want to accept a thankless person as a disciple.
"I can change, teacher, if you think it's not okay, you say how to change, and I'll do it!" Green Sorrow grabbed this chance for survival.
"Can't change." Gu Shanhai spoke decisively.
Change could certainly be achieved, only Gu Shanhai is too lazy to do it, whether it's mental formatting, soul alteration, or spiritual reshaping, Gu Shanhai could easily do it.
But why should he help him?
Without any special relationship, just because he's the main character? If it was the Wizard World's main character, Gu Shanhai wouldn't mind lending a hand, but unfortunately, now it's just a little Wizard World and it's on the verge of annihilation.
So the value is too low, coupled with the failure to become a disciple from the start, Gu Shanhai lost interest in bothering a second time.
"Then would you give me a job in the academy, I can do anything." Green Sorrow retreated to a lesser option.
Gu Shanhai turned his head to look at Little White, who looked at Gu Shanhai with some confusion, indicating why he was looking at him.
"You're the damn headmaster, not me! Who else would I look at?" Gu Shanhai complained, seemed Little White hadn't gotten into the role yet, probably because upon seeing Gu Shanhai return, he threw his thoughts away, considering no need to work anymore.
