To put it bluntly, a captive king cannot be called king, because in Su Mo's knowledge, nothing can be above the king.
It's impossible to break a tree, not even a god!
Without the king's understanding and responsibility, the entire Nathan Island only lives for a broken tree.
Therefore, Sumer wanted to ask Elijah, is the king of Nathan Island worthy of being called king?
Elijah didn't hesitate at all.
"It's a stupid question, because there is no one in this world who is more worthy of being a king than the king."
However, he began to think again about Su Mo knowing about Wang.
It seemed that the group of people in front of them had made sufficient preparations before choosing to go to the island, otherwise they would not have known about the king's existence.
I just don’t know if I know the identity of my ‘Nathan Wei’.
But even if Su Mo knew this, Elijah wouldn't be particularly surprised. After all, the identity of 'Nathan Wei' is not a big secret to big shots.
It's normal for someone as powerful as Su Mo to know.
"Then are you loyal to the sacred tree, or to the king in your mouth?"
With a smile in his eyes, Su Mo started to get more difficult.
This is the most humiliating thing for the king.
In ancient times, which emperor could tolerate his confidants and right-hand men not being completely loyal to him, but would also offer loyalty to others?
The point is still that the loyalty of one's confidants to others is higher than one's own.
This is an extremely explosive thing in any period of history, and it is also something that is not allowed.
But it is the norm on Nason Island.
In fact, the king is not as important as the sacred tree, because at a certain moment, the king must also devote his loyalty to the sacred tree.
This 'king' is simply a consumable.
So he really doesn’t deserve to be king.
In this regard, Su Mo had only one sentence.
You are not loyal!
Facing such a half-hearted guy, if it were him, he would just load the bolt gun without saying anything.
Blasting the opponent into scum is the final fate of such a person.
After Elijah, who was sitting on the ground, heard this, he also fell into deep thought. Should his first loyalty be to the sacred tree or to the king?
"Loyalty can't be divided into two halves. There will always be things that need to be broken up, so you are loyal to Elijah. The 'guard' who is loyal to the king and is willing to die for the king, to whom will you dedicate your loyalty."
Su Mo easily exposed Elijah's identity, but he was not surprised.
He was only thinking about Su Mo's problem right now.
Because this is a very difficult decision, the identity of 'Nathan Guard' is decided by the sacred tree, not the king.
Therefore, from birth, they, the people of the gods, were inculcated with the concept of sacrificing their lives for the sacred tree.
But during the long years, they were accompanied by the king
For any 'Nathan Guard', this is a decision that cannot be made, or it can be said that it is impossible to make a decision.
They will never give up on anyone.
But for Elijah, in the process of thinking, he already knew who his loyalty would be dedicated to.
And because of this, a seed had already been conceived in his heart. This was the seed that was born after seeing the current decline of Nathan Island.
In this plan, he would betray part of his loyalty!
It's just that he didn't say any of the answers he thought to Su Mo.
After just a moment of silence, he asked again.
"I believe that no one would be idle enough to waste several months of their time by checking whether a complete stranger's body is adequate, right?"
Obviously changing the subject.
"Of course there is no such idle person."
Su Mo's smile grew thicker. Since Elijah was not ready to answer, let's end the topic: "But if you cannot complete the equivalent exchange of my gifts to you, then I will naturally not tell you any of my purposes."
Hearing this, Elijah fell silent, indeed, but mainly because he could not answer at all.
But just as he was thinking, Su Mo's voice came to his ears again.
"Give you a choice."
"What choice?"
Elijah became vigilant. Was he trying to persuade him to surrender?
impossible!
Although he is not as loyal to the king as the sacred tree, he will never surrender to others easily.
Elijah strengthened his heart and planned to die here, but Su Mo asked lightly.
"Do you choose to die here or get out of my room?"
"what?"
Elijah pointed at himself in confusion: "Do you mean you are going to let me go without killing me?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will go back and inform the king of your whereabouts?"
"If we had taken precautions, even you would have paid a heavy price."
Su Mo turned around boredly and sat on the chair again, not looking at Elijah's embarrassed appearance.
"You can get out of here as a waste, then remember to report to your so-called king about my upcoming arrival."
After saying that, Su Mo looked out the window quietly.
In fact, it didn't matter whether Elijah informed them or not, because it was very likely that the king would know about it from the moment they set foot on Nathan Island.
So it doesn't matter.
Elijah is also very interesting. This guy took the main credit for the fall of Nathan Island.
Because he was the one who broke off the golden branch and challenged the throne, and he was also the 'sinner' who attracted 'Behemoth' to Nathan Island.
It can be said that he single-handedly brought Nathan Island to everyone's attention.
Therefore, Su Mo was looking forward to how he would react to his actions in the future.
With a smile on his lips, Su Mo was looking forward to the giant beast 'Behemoth' appearing on Nathan Island.
Crushing without waves is very boring. There must be some unknown changes in the middle to make people look forward to it.
After thinking for a long time, Su Mo looked back at Elijah and found that he had not left at all, and his position had not moved.
Because at this time Elijah was in surprise. The other party had obviously investigated Nason Island, but why was he still showing such a posture now?
It is simply that Nason Island is completely ignored.
"So, your choice is to die here?"
"not at all."
Elijah shook his head, with wisdom flashing in his eyes. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Mo.
"If it is me who is requesting you to let me stay with you for a while, I think you won't refuse me, right?"
In the few short conversations before, he discovered Su Mo's true nature. The man in front of him was an arrogant person.
He didn't take himself seriously at all, he probably wasn't even a shit, so he didn't even bother to do anything.
Although it hurts his dignity to think like this, this is indeed Su Mo's idea, and Elijah interpreted it perfectly.
To Su Mo, he was just a waste, and it didn't matter whether he was with him or not, as long as he was valuable.
As for me, I could just follow Su Mo for a period of time to see if I could figure out his purpose.
Also try to find out what trump card he has that makes him so confident and regard Nathan Island as nothing.
So without waiting for Su Mo to speak, Elijah began to explain his own usefulness.
"I can introduce you to the situation on Nathan Island. I just won't tell you any news about our divine people."
"Hey, since you don't introduce anything, why are you following us? Do you believe that we will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?"
At this time, Suzaku, who had been quiet all this time, spoke.
She was completely shocked by the strength of Ma Xianhong and Barun.
I don't know where Su Mo found so many strong men. They were everywhere like cabbage.
An enemy that he was not even sure about was easily defeated. Doesn't this mean that even if he is involved, the final outcome will be like this.
He felt a little anxious in his heart, worried that there were too many strong men around Su Mo and that he would become a vase. This was the scene Su Mo didn't want to see the most.
After coming back to his senses, he heard Elijah's words and couldn't help but speak out.
"Following us is a lie, but trying to find out our purpose is the real thing."
"That's not important, beautiful lady."
Elijah did not answer Sumo's question directly, but looked at Su Mo seriously.
"What do you think?"
"Since you are so willing to follow me, then follow me, but don't do anything to make me unhappy, otherwise, you will die miserably."
"I am Nathan Wei, a man who lives to keep his promises."
As a result, the Sumo team, except for Barron who could slip away at any time, once again gained Elijah, a young man of .

After settling Elijah's matter.
Su Mo and his party were trapped in a situation with nothing to do, they just had to wait for time to go to Nason Island.
