Savuo smiled, showing his satisfaction. Duraxi, who was standing behind him, also felt a little scared; he did not think that Savuo was so cunning.
On Earth, Duraxi was just an ordinary person, a worker in a large factory, so he was nothing special. Therefore, he did not have any understanding of politics or stratagem.
After seeing what Savuo had done, he felt that he was dangerous, as he was able to fool all the people in the kingdom. In fact, the people of this kingdom weren't fooled; they knew that what Oynix said was bullshit.
However, they didn't care about that; they just needed a reason to overthrow Selvih.
Back to Duraxi: he was now stronger than before thanks to the things Pharmacodi had left in the space bag. Anyway, Pharmacodi was also a UR pharmacist enchanter, so Duraxi certainly obtained a small fortune.
Just as Hikaru thought, Pharmacodi had a lot of assets that could help Duraxi become stronger. More specifically, among the pharmaceuticals that Pharmacodi possessed, there were drugs that could help replenish soul energy.
Pharmacodi had prepared that potion to prevent his death so that he could use his spirit to continue living like Guhi.
In the end, however, it was all left to Duraxi to enjoy. Duraxi immediately used that potion to replenish Guhi's soul energy, then Guhi used all of Pharmacodi's resources to make Duraxi stronger.
After Savuo reassured the people of the kingdom, he and Duraxi returned to the room.
At this moment, Duraxi frowned and asked, "Tomorrow, will they rise up and help us overthrow Selvih?"
The "they" in Duraxi's mouth were the inhabitants of this kingdom. Just now, they expressed their determination to overthrow Selvih. However, if they were so determined, they would not have been silent for 2,500 years.
That was why Duraxi was confused, as he couldn't believe what was happening.
Savuo said with a smile: "It is true that the inhabitants of this kingdom are afraid of Selvih, but it is not because she is very strong; her strength is only slightly higher than mine."
"Then why?" Duraxi asked.
Savuo said as he walked, "Because they were afraid of what she would do if they failed. In other kingdoms, if the royal family did something wrong, they had a chance to continue living. At worst, they might have their property confiscated and turned into civilians, but then they could still live on."
"Not being able to kill nobles, especially those of the same bloodline, has been an unwritten rule for over 10,000 years."
However, what Selvih did was the exact opposite. "The day she became the queen of this kingdom, she killed almost every member of the royal family, including my mother."
When Savuo said this, his eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent as cold as ice.
Duraxi frowned and continued to ask, "Your mother? Does that mean you and Selvih are also of the same bloodline?"
Savuo shook his head and said, "No, we are not related by blood. In fact, from the earliest days of the Dark-Elf Kingdom, the royal family was formed by the strongest Dark-Elf families at that time."
"This created a balance that prevents other families from rioting as they would be stopped by the other families."
"Besides, the marriage between the royal families also ensures the non-transmissibility of power to other people."
Duraxi nodded at that. He felt that this was a bit similar to feudal countries.
Savuo continued, "That's why it's almost impossible to kill a member of the royal family." However, Selvih did it; the day she became the queen of this kingdom was also the day that all members of the royal family became evil spirits under her sword."
"Because of that, those who want to rebel are afraid. In other kingdoms, if a noble or a member of the royal family led a failed rebellion, the worst thing would probably be life imprisonment or banishment from the royal family."
"However, Selvih will do the opposite; she will kill all the rebels without exception." In the past, when she just became queen, I tried to incite some groups of people to rebel; I wanted to see how she would react. "Do you know what she did?"
Duraxi frowned and nodded.
Savuo laughed and said, "She killed them all; she didn't care if they were nobles or commoners; they all died, no one survived. Even the families of those in the rebel group were annihilated in one day."
Duraxi frowned. He felt a little scared but also excited. Men love to conquer, especially high mountains; the higher the mountain, the happier they are after conquering it.
The excitement of conquering a mountain that no one has yet conquered is incredibly magical. Men are like that, especially someone who always thinks of himself as the main character, like Duraxi.
In just a second, the feeling of fear in his heart immediately disappeared, replaced by a feeling of excitement. The more Duraxi heard about her, the more he wanted to make her his.
Savuo glanced at Duraxi and coldly smiled: "You like Selvih?"
Duraxi stammered: "I… I…"
Suddenly, Duraxi realised why he was stammering. He looked like someone who had been caught cheating. Inwardly, Duraxi scolded himself: "Damn it!" Are you stupid? You like women; you don't like Savuo; and no, you don't like men.
Duraxi took a deep breath, then boldly said: "Yes, I like Selvih; not only Selvih, I also want Anno."
When Savuo heard this, his eyes were blazing; he was like a child who had been robbed of his toy. However, that gaze quickly turned into a big laugh: "Hahaha. Don't be shy; every man likes Selvih." Anyway, it's a man's nature to conquer; I understand that, although Selvih is cruel, that doesn't stop a lot of men from flirting with her.
"The number of men flirting with her is probably more than the number of residents of this kingdom."
Duraxi frowned and said, "So... has anyone succeeded?"
Savuo shook his head: "No one has succeeded yet." Any man, no matter how noble his status, can only meet her once. "It could be said that Selvih has not come into contact with any man until now."
Savuo remembered Raven. Of all the men who pursued Selvih, Raven's status was the noblest. Although Raven had pursued Selvih for more than 2,000 years, what she received was a meeting that lasted less than a minute.
During that meeting, Selvih sat on the throne, and Raven stood below her; the two were more than twenty metres apart. After that, Selvih just said a few polite words and used the excuse that she was sick to end the meeting.
Of course, Selvih also never received any gifts from the men who pursued her. Although Savuo hated Selvih, he also admired that she could not easily be tempted in the face of such temptations.
One must know that as long as Selvih agrees to be Raven's mistress, his plan will turn into a farce. At that time, thanks to the power of the Ancient Kingdom, Selvih would be able to build an army of her own.
And that army would definitely be stronger than the royal army. After all, the Ancient Kingdom's power was immense, so helping Selvih build an army stronger than the Dark-Elf royal army was easy.
Savuo also secretly felt lucky that Selvih didn't take advantage of Raven or any other man.
Back to Duraxi, when he heard Savuo say that Selvih had never met any man, he frowned and said, "No way!"
"Hm? What's wrong?" Savuo asked, confused.
Duraxi recalled the days he spent at the Pharmacist Tower and said, "When I was at the Pharmacist Tower, she had intimate contact with someone named Hikaru."
"Hikaru?" Savuo frowned upon hearing that, and he immediately tried to rummage through his memory for information about a person named Hikaru. However, he didn't find anything, as this was actually the first time he heard that name.
Savuo asked, "Who is that?"
Duraxi froze, and he immediately replied, "I think you already know who I am talking about." At that time, Selvih and Anno were intimate with that person; Anno even said that it was her fiancé.
Savuo frowned. In his memory, Duraxi was Anno's fiancée. The senate wanted to cancel Duraxi's role as her fiance, and this was also Savuo's opinion because, when he saw Duraxi's image, he did not want Anno to possess this young man.
However, he also did not receive any information that Anno had chosen a new fiancé, so he was a little worried in his heart. Anyway, this was information that was outside of his plan. Even though he had prepared everything perfectly, due to this new information, he felt a little nervous.
Savuo shook his head and said, "In my memory, there is no one named Hikaru. Do you have any information about that person?"
Duraxi felt a little confused. "You don't know? Isn't he controlling this kingdom?"
Savuo frowned: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I saw that Selvih and Anno were very obedient to that man." In front of Hikaru, they were like kittens.
"Kittens?" Savuo asked.
Duraxi was startled; he realised that this world didn't have cats, so he immediately explained, "I mean,... Selvih and Anno both obediently listened to that young man; that's why I thought he was controlling this kingdom."
"Impossible." Savuo shook his head, as he immediately said: "If anyone or any organisation interferes with this kingdom, I will know immediately."
Despite saying that Savuo was still extremely worried, he asked Duraxi, "Are you sure Selvih and Anno were obedient to that man?"
"I'm sure, even though their expressions seem like they didn't want to come in contact with Hikaru, they still tried to do what the young man said." Duraxi said.
Savuo's brow furrowed even tighter; he couldn't believe it. In his memory, Selvih had never listened to anyone, especially men. Therefore, he found what Duraxi had just said extremely hard to believe.
However, although it was hard to believe, Savuo did not think that Duraxi would make up such a myth.
