Chapter 136: Chapter 136
After experiencing that massive terror just now, not a trace of panic appeared on Jasper’s face.
Instead, a look of excitement emerged, the desire in his heart to win Adam over grew even stronger.
"Senior, if this one dares to speak even half a lie, may my soul be entirely obliterated, and may I never enter the cycle of reincarnation for all eternity."
Hearing Jasper’s solemn vow, the suspicion in Adam’s heart gradually faded.
The purpose of this person’s visit might be to win him over, but he would not be stupid enough to deliberately stir up trouble with lies. It seemed what he said was indeed the truth.
The South-Subduing King lineage! Adam’s gaze flickered uncertainly, he asked himself and knew he had absolutely no intersection with the South-Subduing King lineage, nor had he ever offended them.
Why would they strike such a heavy hand against him?
Seemingly aware of what Adam was thinking, upon seeing his flickering gaze, Jasper spoke up at the right moment.
"Senior, what you don’t know is that the South-Subduing King lineage is willing to pay such a heavy price to eliminate you because it relates to the current political situation in the royal court."
"The political situation in the royal court?!!!"
Adam let out a soft exclamation of surprise, not knowing what the situation in the royal court had to do with him.
Jasper leaned forward a step and continued. "Although the current Emperor has inherited the Silver Willow and has the support of the major Southern aristocratic clans behind him, he is still nothing more than a puppet in the hands of the South-Subduing King."
"Although your close friend is the ruler of Silver Willow, the entirety of Silver Willow is controlled by the South-Subduing King."
"But ever since you appeared, Senior, everything underwent a subtle change."
"Me?! What does this have to do with me? I have always been in the Inkwood Academy and have never stepped half a foot into the royal court. How could the royal court be influenced by me?!"
Adam’s eyes were full of confusion, he was just a mere Inkwood official who usually stayed in the academy.
How could he possibly stir up the winds and clouds of the royal court?
Jasper shook his head and said with a smile. "Senior, you are mistaken. Although you are not actively involved in the martial world, your very existence is a fatal threat to it."
"Senior, you have a deep relationship with the current Emperor and are his close friend. Even if you don’t wish to wade into the royal court, you have already been branded as belonging to His Majesty."
"Your unfathomable strength is already known by the South-Subduing King. If you were to lean toward the Emperor, His Majesty’s power would massively increase."
"This would severely threaten the status of the South-Subduing King lineage, which is absolutely intolerable to him."
"Therefore, to eradicate this hidden danger, the South-Subduing King did not hesitate to dispatch the Third Ancestor, wanting to suppress and kill you. It’s just a pity that he underestimated your strength, Senior."
He did not expect that his mere existence was actually viewed as a mistake by some people. After hearing Jasper explain the cause and effect, Adam finally understood what was going on.
A bitter smile appeared on his face, this was simply an unprovoked disaster.
Seeing the bitter smile on Adam’s face, Jasper felt the time was ripe and decided to reveal the true purpose of his visit.
"Senior, you can probably see it as well. For the South-Subduing King to deploy such a massive lineup yesterday, it was blatantly aimed at taking your life."
"If it weren’t for your heaven-reaching methods, Senior, I’m afraid you would have tragically fallen victim to his vicious plot yesterday."
"Yesterday, by taking action and killing the three ancestors of the South-Subduing King lineage, you completely tore all face with them. I’m afraid the South-Subduing King will let you off even less now."
"This one knows that Senior’s strength is unfathomably deep, and the South-Subduing King lineage might not be able to do anything to you. But being constantly harassed by these ghosts and monsters is ultimately not a good thing."
"Oh? Then what do you think I should do?" Adam gave Jasper a profound look, asking despite already knowing the answer.
Jasper forcefully suppressed the joy in his eyes and said excitedly. "Senior, you and His Majesty are close friends with a deep relationship. If you are willing to step forward and assist His Majesty, it would absolutely kill two birds with one stone."
"If His Majesty has your help, not only can he shake off his puppet status, but he can also eliminate the South-Subduing King lineage."
"Senior, you dislike being bothered by worldly affairs. If His Majesty can truly sit securely on the throne of the Silver Willow dynasty, with His Majesty there, absolutely no one in the Silver Willow dynasty will disturb your secluded life."
Jasper’s words were like a sharp blow to the head, instantly waking Adam up.
Previously, he only wanted to stay quietly in the Inkwood Academy and did not want to provoke worldly affairs. Although he knew Oswin might be a puppet, he only thought about saving Oswin’s life at crucial moments, he was unwilling to get involved.
But Jasper had just reminded him.
If Oswin could truly secure his position as ruler of the Silver Willow dynasty, the entirety of Silver Willow would be under Oswin’s command.
He was currently in urgent need of mythological texts.
If Oswin could truly sit securely as ruler, with just a single imperial decree, mythological texts from all over the Silver Willow dynasty would probably be delivered to the palace overnight.
Even if he could not comprehend divine abilities from those mythological texts, there were still mythological texts circulating in the dynasties surrounding Silver Willow. As the ruler of Silver Willow, acquiring those would similarly take just a single word.
This was much more efficient than searching alone! If Oswin truly secured his position, Adam would likely have a continuous and endless supply of mythological texts in the future.
Even if the vast majority of the records in these mythological texts were not real, and he might not necessarily comprehend any divine abilities or techniques from them, the advantage lay in their sheer quantity.
There would definitely be a few genuine mythological texts among them.
