"The twin of Odin with EQ zero?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yes." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Odin is good at hiding his thoughts, but he is not good at it. After I realized that Odin and his men's vigilance might have come from the imitation world tree, I glanced at the tree intentionally or unintentionally several times. This should have been my flaw, but it was precisely this action of mine that exposed the flaw of that guy."

"When I looked at the huge tree, the guy's body would involuntarily block between me and the tree." Xia Mi said, "It's more like a defensive posture than saying he didn't want me to see the tree."

"What he is afraid of is that you will target the tree?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

"To be precise, he was afraid that the tree would be destroyed by us." Xia Mi corrected, "He revealed a flaw, and this flaw is fatal. If he is really afraid of what Lao Tang and I will do to the tree, then it can at least prove two points."

"First, they rely on the tree very much," Xia Mi held up two fingers, "Second, they are afraid that the tree will be destroyed by me and Lao Lao Tang, which means that Lao Tang and I have the ability to destroy the tree."

"Your analysis is correct." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Then I have a bolder guess." Xia Mi said, "Odin lost interest in me and Lao Tang because of the tree. He could get more benefits from the tree than eating the Dragon King. Or maybe the benefits were not that great, but Odin was afraid that the fight between him, me and Lao Tang would affect the tree. This means that the tree has not yet grown strong enough to ignore the threat of the Dragon King. But based on the attitude of Odin and the others, it is possible that the tree will evolve into an extremely powerful existence one day in the future."

"You can still think of so many things in that situation." Lu Mingfei nodded and said to Xia Mi affirmatively, "Junior sister, your brain is really useful."

"There's no point in being anxious. In any situation, you need to calm down to find a way out." When Xia Mi said this, she glanced at someone intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "It's just like the use of force. It's better to find a precise point and kill with one strike than to use force randomly."

"So you used that tree as a breakthrough point at that time." Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi.

"It wasn't us, it was me. This guy didn't realize it at the time." Xia Mi glanced at Old Tang, "I didn't take the initiative to tell him. On the one hand, I was afraid of exposing my thoughts to Odin, and on the other hand, I was afraid that after this guy knew about this, he would rush towards the tree like an idiot again. Then Odin would definitely not let us go again."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Old Tang's defense was broken again. "You already know the opponent's weakness. What else are you thinking if you don't attack it? Are you waiting for the opponent to hide the weakness? Or are you waiting for the opponent to expose the weakness and wait for you to break through it? Do you think the other party is an idiot? If you think so, you are the real idiot!"

“Junior sister, it was a wise decision not to tell this guy your thoughts at that time.” Lu Mingfei said with emotion, “Otherwise, you might not be able to get out.”

"Anyway, this guy doesn't understand the meaning of judging the situation at all. I now feel that his brain is on the same level as Fenrir." Xia Mi said, "It feels like Odin and I are each carrying a burden."

Xia Mi's "burden" does not mean that Old Tang and the guy wrapped in shroud are not strong enough, but that their brains are really useless in this kind of situation. Xia Mi and Odin have to use their brains while guarding against Old Tang and the other guy revealing their flaws.

"Odin thought for a moment, and finally decided to order Lao Tang and me to leave." Xia Mi said, "Odin said that he would forgive Lao Tang and me for our rude behavior of trespassing into his Nibelung, but we must leave immediately and accept his request. He would erase a part of our memory and forbid Lao Tang and me to set foot in the Arctic Circle again."

"Isn't this a bit...too overbearing?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frowning. "It's okay to leave immediately, and it's okay not to step into Nibelungen again, but why can't we enter the Arctic Circle again? He is the landlord and this is his land? The Arctic Circle is so big and I just like to go and see polar bears. If I have a fever and take off all my clothes and run naked in the Arctic, he won't care, right?"

"The most crucial thing is the second condition." Chu Zihang also spoke. He looked at Xia Mi, "Voluntarily having your memory erased, this condition is too harsh. Is it possible that Odin will take this opportunity to tamper with your and Lao Tang's brains?"

"Of course it's possible. If he uses this ability on me and Old Tang by force, it's fine. But if he wants us to voluntarily let him tamper with our memories, it's hard to say." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "It's possible that in addition to this incident, he took this opportunity to tamper with more of our memories at the same time. It's also possible that he took this opportunity to stuff some memories that didn't originally belong to us into our brains. That guy can even take this opportunity to mess up our brains. Even brain surgery has risks. If he does this, what if he accidentally turns Old Tang and me into two idiots? You know, Old Tang's brain is not very smart to begin with."

"Hey, hey, hey, I said, every time you talk about something, you don't know how to speak unless you take the opportunity to scold me, right?" Old Tang glared at Xia Mi with an unhappy face.

Xia Mi once again chose to ignore this guy.

"So I absolutely cannot agree to Odin's proposal, but I can't reject him directly, because Lao Tang and I are indeed at a disadvantage in this matter. If I don't want to expose my leverage over them, what I should do now is to negotiate with him." Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, "I told Odin that Lao Tang and I will leave immediately. We are here to remind him and to form an alliance with him. Since he rejected our proposal, there is no need for me to stay any longer. However, I have already given him a warning. There really is unimaginable power among humans. I emphasized this point and I definitely did not lie to him."

"I also told Odin that Lao Tang and I will never give up looking for other allies because we have failed. Our current fighting force is me, Norton, and Fenrir, and I still have a small part of the White King's dragon bones." Xia Mi recounted the tone of the time, "If he is willing to accept our proposal, we still have a chance to reach an alliance. In that case, we will have five dragon kings in our station, and once we rescue Constantine, there will be six kings. At any time in history, this is a force powerful enough to change the world pattern." "Are you making promises for that guy?" Lu Mingfei said.

"An empty promise? Not really." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "These are all forces that do exist in the open. If Odin agrees to my proposal, from his perspective, we have really gathered an unprecedentedly powerful fighting force. Although our cohesion is not high, and we can even say that we have our own ulterior motives, in the minds of ordinary dragons, no matter what kind of conflicts and contradictions we have, when facing the racial enemy of humans, we should be united, just like he and his twins will not kill each other in front of me and Lao Tang, but will only consider how to deal with us, but..."

After saying "but", Xia Mi suddenly shut up. What she wanted to say next was, but what Odin didn't expect was that if this covenant was really established, he would have stepped half into a trap, because it was hard for him to imagine that Xia Mi and Lao Tang would really abandon the dragon clan's position and join humans to deal with them.

Rather than saying that Xia Mi and Lao Tang will betray the dragon clan's position at that time, it is better to say that they have been standing on the side of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang since they approached Odin from the very beginning. Their original intention was to help humans... They have already gained emotions and interests from humans that can overcome the species' position.

Xia Mi suddenly stopped talking because she had just denounced Odin and his men for secretly doing things that violated dragon taboos in their Nibelungen, but wasn't she and Old Tang doing the same? Their behavior had even fundamentally betrayed their own race, so what qualifications did she have to spit on and despise Odin?
It turns out that even something as powerful as the Dragon King can have a completely different way of living. As people at the top of the food chain, they have chosen several completely diametrically opposed paths.

It was quite sad to think about it this way, but Xia Mi did not regret it, so she did not tell Chu Zihang or Lu Mingfei about her sudden thoughts. She just took a few seconds to sort out her feelings and then continued.

“Then I told Odin that if Lao Tang and I walked out of Nibelung today and found new allies, once our strength reached a certain level, it would not count if Odin contacted us again.” Xia Mi said, “I want Odin to feel that this is a request from Lao Tang and me, and also an opportunity to gain the cooperation of several dragon kings. If he doesn’t cherish it, it will be difficult for him to have such an opportunity again. Once we gain enough strength to take revenge on others, we may be enemies in the next dragon civil war.”

"Is this a threat?" Chu Zihang asked softly.

"One counts, but this is also a fact. The four kings are in a competitive relationship. There is only one supreme throne, and everyone wants to reach the top. Although a cooperative relationship may not be reliable, the weak ones without allies will inevitably be eaten first." Xia Mi paused, "In fact, I didn't intend to threaten him originally, and I was afraid of pushing him to the limit, but I had to do what I did. If this matter can be resolved peacefully, it will be replaced. If I really have to take action, I should at least explain the interests to him clearly. Although I was deceiving him, I was also deceiving myself at the time, so my praise is very real."

"Is Odin the type who would be threatened?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"At that time, the golden eyes under Odin's mask were staring at my face. He remained silent the whole time, looking a little angry, but also a little moved." Xia Mi said, "Maybe my last sentence was too straightforward, he felt that his dignity was challenged, but at the same time, what I said did make sense. Whether it was starting a war in Nibelungen or letting Old Tang and I go, he was probably wondering in his mind which of the two hidden dangers of soybean oil next Tuesday was smaller."

"I don't think Odin will agree." Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a while.

"Well, he was silent for a few minutes, then shook his head at me. What he meant was that he would not consider forming an alliance for the time being, but he might change his mind in the future. If the old man and I found a stronger, more solid and reliable ally by then, he would not ask for trouble." Xia Mi said, "He decided to stick to his original idea and let Old Tang and I leave."

"So I can probably guess what Odin is really thinking," said Xia Mi. "I've talked to him so far, using both soft and hard tactics, and trying to make him understand the truth, but he still has concerns. This proves that the tree is more important to him than I thought."

"So my attitude became tough. I told Odin that I would leave with Lao Tang immediately. We would not tell anyone what we saw in Nibelungen. We would never set foot on his territory again, and we might even never set foot in the Arctic again." Xia Mi paused, her tone becoming sharp. "But the only thing I cannot accept is erasing my memory."

"Then Brother Odin must be extremely anxious, right?" Lu Mingfei said.

"No, he was calmer than I thought. He probably guessed that I couldn't accept this, so he just looked at me and spoke calmly." Xia Mi said, "Odin said he could swear an oath to erase only the memories of Lao Tang and me after we entered Nibelungen. He would not tamper with our other memories, nor would he take the opportunity to do anything to us. He was very generous. Until we leave Nibelungen, he will absolutely guarantee our safety."

"Is his guarantee convincing?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It doesn't matter whether it's convincing or not. I once again strongly refuted Odin. I said he had no right to do this. We are all equal. Although Lao Tang and I were a bit reckless, we didn't mean any harm. But his behavior is absolutely humiliating." Xia Mi raised her head, "If Lao Tang and I let him erase the memory that we both know, what's the difference between this and actively putting your face under someone's shoe to leave a shoe print?"

"Junior sister, you are quite talented in giving examples." Lu Mingfei didn't know if he was being sarcastic or really complimenting her.
"Odin said this was the most perfect solution he could think of. If anyone else entered Nibelungen, they wouldn't even have a chance to leave." Xia Mi said, "According to Odin, it's because he respects me and Old Tang that he doesn't plan to fight us. He has already tried his best and made enough concessions. He hopes that Old Tang and I will also make some concessions."

"But the more he says this, doesn't it prove that he is more fearful?" Lu Mingfei said, "He is very afraid that you and Old Tang will destroy his tree."

"I'm sure of this, so I confronted him directly." Xia Mi spread her hands, "I said to Odin, didn't someone escape from this Nibelungen?"
