Dawn of the Super Seminary
Chapter 367: Negotiation failed?
……
It is now 2 PM North Star time.
Carlos has already set off from Qin Village to the location his third brother sent him.
However, because the distance was too far, even if he used a void wormhole to travel quickly.
It still took almost an hour to reach the vicinity of Devil One.
Inside the Sky Hall of Devil One. [Command Center]
Morgana was sitting in a chair, leisurely sipping red wine and playing on her tablet, looking completely carefree.
On the tablet, Morgana is playing a match-3 game.
And they played it very seriously, and I really don't understand what's so fun about those casual games.
"Here's a set, hurry, connect them quickly, time's running out!"
At this moment, Rose is "directing" Morgana in playing games.
The atmosphere between the two was fairly harmonious.
"I know, I know"
Reminded by Rose, Morgana quickly connected and eliminated the group of "fruit" icons.
Just as the two were engrossed in their game, a series of beeping alarms suddenly sounded in the hall.
Morgana's thoughts were interrupted by the alarm, and she looked up and asked.
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty, someone is rapidly approaching Demon One."
Captain Ferro glanced at the radar and saw a red dot rapidly approaching the Devil One. He immediately realized that its location had been exposed.
"Weren't we in stealth mode? How did we get exposed? Switch the camera to this view so I can see who it is."
Morgana was a little panicked when she learned that someone was approaching her flagship (base).
He immediately threw the tablet aside, and even his brows furrowed.
"clear"
After saying that, Ferro switched the surveillance footage outside Devil One to the main screen of the Heavenly Secrets Hall.
In the scene, a purple-haired man wearing a white robe and clothing similar to that of the planet Lieyang is rapidly approaching Demon One.
Without a doubt, this person is Carlos.
To show his "respect" for the Demon Queen, he specially changed his trendy Earthling attire back to his old-fashioned ancient style.
Morgana burst into laughter upon seeing the person on the screen.
"They've finally arrived, Ferro. Open the energy barrier. Ator, go out and greet our distinguished guest."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After responding to his queen, Atto left.
Judging from his chest, which has now fully recovered, Yuqin certainly went to great lengths to treat the demon.
When I said I needed to rest for a while, I meant I couldn't fight in the near future, not that I was bedridden.
When Qiangwei saw that Mu Xingchen's master had arrived, she didn't know what to feel.
Of course, she was happy for her comrade.
Because in just two days, his master came to rescue him.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, blaming Mu Xingchen for not begging his master to protect the earth.
If there really is such a great god protecting Earth, why would she sell her future to the devil?
Her current predicament is inextricably linked to Mu Xingchen's inaction.
At least that's what she thinks.
"Rose, would you like to leave for a moment?"
Morgana knew that Carlos had attacked the Giant Gorge and fought against the Super Soldier Corps and Dukao.
So she was afraid that Rose might not want to see Carlos.
"Okay, you two talk."
Rose nodded and then left the command center.
It's not that she's afraid to see the person who attacked their Super Soldier Squad.
I just felt there was no need to stay and disturb their conversation.
Unfortunately, Rose had only walked a short distance from the command hall when Atto arrived with Carlos.
Carlos recognized Ducao's daughter, of course, but he only glanced at her and did nothing to her.
There was no intention to eliminate Dukao's lineage as there was last time, when they attacked the Juxia.
Because he read her memories, he knew that she had suffered a lot of grievances from his apprentice these past two days.
Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to argue with the already dead Ducao anymore.
When Rose realized that the person seemed to recognize her, she quickly lowered her head and walked away into the distance.
Her main concern was that Carlos might transfer his hatred for her father onto her.
Soon, Ato led Carlos to the hatch of the Heavenly Secrets Hall.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the guests have arrived..."
After the hatch opened, Ato reported to Morgana, who was sitting with her back to them.
Upon hearing Ato's voice, Morgana spun her chair and looked directly at the person entering through the door.
"Carlos? What a rare guest! What brings you here today?"
As she spoke, Morgana stood up from her chair, looking quite "surprised".
That's an extraordinary amount of showing off!
"It has indeed been some time since we last met, Your Majesty. How have you been lately?"
Carlos knew Morgana was just putting on an act, but as the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you.
He didn't want to strain their relationship as soon as they met.
I exchanged some polite words with the other party first.
"You're calling me 'Old Man' again... and 'King of Apocalypse' again. Fine, fine, I'm not going to argue with you. Let's go, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go to a coffee shop."
Morgana resisted the urge to say "I'm an old lady," and instead took Carlos's hand and left the Heavenly Hall.
That guy was so enthusiastic; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were some close old "friends."
"..."
Carlos was also a bit bewildered by Morgana's move, but he still didn't retaliate.
He let his "sister-in-law" pull him away.
And so, Morgana took Carlos to the isolation pod that had been converted into a café.
The two sat down by the window.
At that moment, a young waiter dressed like a bartender walked over.
"What would you two like to drink?"
The young man wasn't unfamiliar with their Queen Morgana; he simply understood that their queen disliked putting on airs.
Especially when he's cultivating his mind in this coffee shop.
So he deliberately avoided calling her Queen to avoid spoiling her mood.
"Give me a mocha, what about you? What would you like to drink?"
Morgana suppressed her inner tension and unease, and continued to pretend that nothing was wrong.
"Latte, please."
Carlos was familiar with the tea and snacks of Western countries, so he casually ordered a cup.
"A mocha, a latte"
Morgana said something to the waiter.
"OK, just a second"
Upon hearing the Queen's "order," the young man immediately turned around to prepare.
However, the coffee shop was indeed sparsely populated. Apart from Morgana and Carlos, who had just arrived, there was only the young man who was guarding the place.
It seems those demon soldiers simply "dare" to relax in the café that their queen specially set up for Rose.
It's estimated that only Yuqin and Ato, those high-ranking members of the Demon Group, will be able to come.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly remember me? You haven't decided to become my devil king, have you?"
Seeing that Carlos was silent and had a half-sullen face, Morgana decided to joke with him a bit.
She didn't want the atmosphere to be too oppressive, and she was nervous about not being able to "win over" this guy later.
"Hehehe, King Apocalypse is joking."
Carlos felt slightly embarrassed when Morgana deliberately brought up the previous incident.
"Alright, let's get down to business. What brings you to Devil One this time? I don't believe you really came here to catch up."
Morgana certainly understood why Carlos had come here, but she couldn't say it outright.
She could only pretend she didn't know for now, wanting to see how he would react to the matter.
"It's nothing major. Just a couple of days ago, my unfilial disciple's signal suddenly disappeared. I thought about it, and the only one on this planet Earth with space-based shielding technology is you, Apocalypse King, so I came to ask about it."
Carlos had no interest in idling with the demon queen and directly stated his purpose.
There was absolutely no intention to downplay the seriousness of the matter.
"Ah? This... uh... well, General, you're certainly being frank. Indeed, I did invite your esteemed disciple over as a guest a couple of days ago."
Morgana couldn't help but look embarrassed when asked so bluntly.
She knew she couldn't keep up the act any longer, so she had no choice but to come clean and admit it.
At that moment, the young waiter came over carrying an elegant silver tray.
After placing the coffee and sugar on the table, he smiled and bowed to the two of them.
"Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen."
Carlos didn't immediately start accusing him; he picked up a sugar cube from the table and put it into the latte.
I stirred it a few times with a spoon to dissolve the sugar before taking a small sip.
Seeing that Carlos didn't seem to care about her, Morgana put the sugar cubes into the cup and stirred them slowly.
"Actually, the main reason I invited your apprentice over was because I couldn't contact you, so I resorted to this tactic. You won't blame me, will you?"
As she spoke, Morgana gave Carlos a look that seemed to say, "You're not really that stingy, are you?"
"I wouldn't blame you, but I wonder what difficulties the Heavenly King has encountered that compels him to see me?"
Carlos put down his coffee and looked at Morgana across from him with a normal expression.
"Since the general is so straightforward, I'll get straight to the point. You should know Hua Ye, right?"
Seeing that they really didn't intend to cause trouble, Morgana directly stated her purpose.
I'm not going to play games with him anymore.
"Of course, what happened to him?"
Carlos had just heard about Hua Ye's comeback from Karl a few days ago.
Now that Morgana has mentioned the Heavenly King, he suddenly understands why she kidnapped his apprentice.
"That old rogue has received strong support from Karl, and I heard he's recently recalled his old troops in preparation for an attack on the Heavenly Court of Melo."
Morgana's gaze remained fixed on Carlos's face as she spoke these words.
She knew that this envoy from the void seemed to have a connection with He Xi.
She wanted to see if he really cared about Angel Nebula's safety.
However, Carlos did not show any emotion, but simply picked up the latte on the table and took a small sip.
Then he said in that indifferent, detached tone.
What Hua Ye is doing doesn't seem to concern me, does it?
"Now that Holy Keisha has fallen, Karl has helped Hua Ye make a comeback, and that Triangle has somehow reappeared from some unknown corner of the universe, the universe is in too much turmoil and the situation is unclear. I have to think about my own future..."
As she spoke, Morgana also showed a melancholy expression.
However, it is not difficult to tell from her words that she also keeps a very close watch on China.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have known about the triangular attack on Juxia City from the East China Sea.
"King Apocalypse, speak your mind."
Seeing Morgana chatting with him about these random things, Carlos frowned slightly.
"Then I'll be frank. I want to kill that old scoundrel, but I heard he's armed with some kind of void engine that Karl gave him, and his strength has greatly increased. So I want you to come and help me deal with him."
Morgana also understood that her method of inviting people over this time was not entirely reasonable.
So while she was saying this, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the other person's face.
Try to discern his attitude toward the matter from certain facial details.
"..."
Carlos didn't reply to Morgana immediately, but instead sipped his latte with a furrowed brow.
Seeing that the other person was silent and even frowning, Morgana felt a little anxious.
But she didn't urge him to do anything; she just sat there quietly and waited.
After about ten seconds, Carlos finally put the half-finished latte back on the table.
Why should I help you deal with Hua Ye?
Clearly, Carlos also doesn't like being used as a pawn.
What's more, that person didn't even invite him politely; instead, they threatened and coerced him by kidnapping his successor.
The fact that he didn't immediately turn hostile is already a sign of respect for the other party.
After all, he had no connection with this demon queen.
They had only interacted once.
"Name your terms. Even if you really want to be my Demon King, I'll grant your wish, but afterwards you have to help me destroy that damned Karl."
Hearing that the other party was not very willing, Morgana had no choice but to state her conditions.
Moreover, it shows great "sincerity".
Whether what she said was a worthless promise or not, nobody knows.
"You may have misunderstood me. I meant why I should help you, not what my purpose is in helping you."
Carlos narrowed his eyes, and his tone was no longer as humble and gentle as before.
It seemed as if they were deliberately displaying that aloof attitude.
"What do you mean? I've already offered these conditions, and you're still not giving me face?"
Morgana was also annoyed that the Void envoy had so bluntly refused to help her.
The look in his eyes turned fierce and displeased.
"I have withdrawn from the world and do not wish to participate in your disputes."
Carlos ignored Morgana's swearing and took another sip of his latte.
"If you've gone into seclusion, why did you place your apprentice in the Super Soldier Corps? Do you dare say you don't have designs on Earth?"
Morgana didn't believe Carlos's reasons at all.
She even took the opportunity to "find out" what the Void Envoy intended to do to her second home.
That's incredibly shrewd!
That was his own decision; it has nothing to do with me.
As he spoke, Carlos put the coffee back on the table and deliberately showed a displeased expression.
"So his safety is none of your concern?"
Morgana got a little annoyed when she saw the other person giving her the cold shoulder.
He decisively used his apprentice as leverage.
"King Apocalypse could give it a try."
Carlos understood perfectly well that Morgana was threatening him.
So at this moment, he narrowed his eyes, making a face as if he was also unhappy.
