another adult asked hopefully.
"I'm sorry, everyone. The Sages' Council does not support my proposal. To be honest, I have been expelled from the Sages' Council. I know this is very bad news, but I will still work hard for everyone."
Emilia hesitated for a long time, but finally told the truth.
Sure enough, when they heard Emilia's answer, the expressions on the faces of the people in the slums dimmed again.
Emilia was almost their only hope, but now that Emilia, a candidate for the king's election with a certain status, had failed, their future could only be described as bleak.
Looking at the disappointed crowd in front of her, Emilia didn't know what to say for a moment. The desperate atmosphere at the scene was so overwhelming that she could hardly breathe.
"I think Lady Emilia has worked very hard. Although there are not many achievements, we all know in our hearts that we have no future. This is definitely not Lady Emilia's fault. Thanks to Lady Emilia, we have a bite of bread to eat today. Isn't that enough? At least we don't have to worry about how to survive today."
An old man who took a loaf of black bread from Frandelica said loudly.
There were some sporadic voices of approval from the crowd. Many people thought carefully and felt that they had indeed been much better off in the past two days because of Emilia's help, and they should not expect more. The gloomy atmosphere at the scene gradually dissipated.
However, the old man's words made Emilia even more sad. These people were so considerate of her, but she couldn't do more for them. This made her feel deeply useless.
"Moyin, do you have a way to break the impasse? Can you help Leah? If she continues like this, she might be crushed by the heavy pressure."
Parker floated to Moyin's side and asked in a low voice.
"Parker, when you make this request, do you really understand what I said before? If you want to have a happy ending, someone needs to fill in the missing resources. Your request now is like asking me to fill in the missing resources in this system on behalf of Emilia."
"Although these resources are nothing to me, they are extremely huge resources for you. You don't really think that your words are worth that much, do you?"
"If you want to gain something, you have to give something up. You can't get something without working for it. So what is the sacrifice you are offering?"
Moyin asked with a smile. He could help, but it was a bit too arrogant for him to solve the current situation just because Parker made a simple request.
It didn't understand what it had said to Emilia earlier.
"…………I understand. I'll think about what kind of sacrifice to offer."
Parker was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Betty on the side felt a little distressed when she saw the lost Parker. After all, she loved her brother Parker very much. But the problem was that what Moyin said was right. If they wanted to make everyone in the slums happy, they would have to inject a lot of resources from outside the system into the system, after all, they had to feed so many people.
She wasn't thick-skinned enough to ask Moyin to help Parker to this extent.
On the other hand, Parker is just her brother after all, but Moyin is the person she has decided to follow for the rest of her life, so if she really has to choose, she will still lean more towards Moyin.
In the afternoon, after distributing rations to the slums, Emilia returned to the Roswaal mansion with a melancholy face, and then sat in front of the sofa in a daze. To be honest, this was the first time she felt so useless since she could remember.
Parker looked at Emilia hesitantly, but didn't know what to say.
Finally, Emilia seemed to have made up her mind, stood up and walked in front of Moyin.
"Silver."
"Ok?"
"I want to be a king. Can you be my master and teach me how to be a king?"
Emilia said seriously.
"It's hard to say. I've never been a king. A normal king who follows the rules would definitely not be elected as king, but I can make you the king."
Mo Yin said with a smile.
"The unchosen king?"
"Yes, you are a king who relies on your strength to become king. It is said that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. If you have this awareness and are willing to pay the price, I can give you strength."
Moyin replied with a smile.
"And what's the price?"
Emilia asked.
"Liya, this is not okay. It's as dangerous as signing a contract with the devil."
Parker floated over worriedly to stop Emilia.
"Pfft."
Mi Zhou on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
Parker looked at Mi Zhou with some confusion.
"You probably don't know how many people want to sign a contract with Moyin but are not qualified to do so. Even if he is a demon, he is definitely the biggest demon among all demons."
Mi Zhou said with a smile.
"Anyway, I can't let Leah do such a dangerous thing. If you need to use your soul or something else to sign a contract, then I will pay the price of the contract on Leah's behalf!"
Parker started talking.
"But unfortunately, I have no interest in your soul, Parker."
"So you really want the soul!!!"
Parker looked at Moyin with an expression that said I knew it would be like this.
"It's not limited to souls, but I'm thinking you don't have anything else to offer?"
Moyin said jokingly.
"Ah this..."
Parker was speechless for a moment. It really had nothing to offer except its fighting power, but Moyin's fighting power was stronger than its own. This put it in a very embarrassing situation. It had nothing that could impress Moyin.
"So, what's the price?"
Emilia asked, looking at Moyin.
"When you become king, you must conquer the entire world. I don't care what means you use, but when I want the people of this world to believe in a certain god, you must make sure that they will actually believe in that god. This is the price you have to pay."
Mo Yin spoke up.
He has a lot of believers now. With Elena taking care of the birth of new babies, he doesn't have to worry about accepting too many believers.
But several gods in his family have not yet recruited believers. Although the power of faith is not of much help in battle, it is indispensable for performing miracles, so he wants to recruit some believers for the gods in his family.
"This is difficult to do. In this world, whether it's a fairy tale or something else, dragons are supreme beings. There are no gods in our world. It would be difficult to suddenly ask people to believe in a god, even with the king's order, to implement it."
Emilia answered honestly.
Of course, she could agree here, borrow power from Moyin to become king, and then save the poor people in the slums.
But she didn't want to deceive a good person who was trying his best to help her, so she honestly told him about the current situation.
"Then let Moyin and I slay the dragon or control it. I just happen to want to get a mount."
Mi Zhou said with a smile.
"Slaying a dragon... may put you on the opposite side of some humans, because the conservatives believe that it is the dragons that protect the Kingdom of Luknica. Because of this, the Kingdom of Luknica is called the pro-dragon kingdom."
"Besides, the dragon, the great sage, and the first generation sword master sealed the witch of jealousy who almost destroyed the world four hundred years ago. The dragon is like a savior to this world. It is not good to kill the dragon."
Emilia answered.
"That depends on your own decision. My motto in life is that if you want to gain something, you have to pay something. You must do whatever it takes to become a winner. If you have conflicting ideas, I can't help you too much. You can only rely on your own efforts."
Moyin shrugged. There were not many absolutely kind people under his command. If Emilia wanted to maintain an absolutely kind personality, she would definitely not be able to join his camp. After all, as the god of killing, he had done a lot of things. Emilia would definitely fall out with him after knowing the truth.
Chapter 1060 Firut: I'm willing to do anything!
"Please give me some time to think about it."
Faced with Moyin's request, Emilia was a little hesitant.
Regarding what Moyin said about using any means necessary to become the winner, she felt that it was still necessary to abide by the most basic morals and conscience.
Ever since Moyin was willing to subdue an assassin like the Gut Hunter Elsa, Emilia knew that Moyin might not be the same kind of person as her. If she made a decision here, she might become the kind of... cold-blooded person she once hated.
When she came to the fork in the road that would determine her fate, Emilia was a little hesitant.
If she only had to pay a part of the price, she could accept it, but it was obvious that what Moyin wanted was not something so small.
"Okay, you can take your time to think about it. Mi Zhou and I are not in a hurry."
Moyin smiled and waved his hand.
"Well, I'll come back to you after I've thought about it."
Emilia returned to her bed and began to think about the trade-off.
Moyin took Mizhou, Betty, Ram and Rem to the kitchen to cook.
"Moyin, let's bet! Let's bet whether Emilia will accept your proposal."
"What are you gambling?"
Moyin asked while washing vegetables.
"If I lose, I will cook you a meal myself! If I win, you still have to cook."
Mi Zhou said with a smile.
"Good fellow, it would be more beneficial to me if you win the bet. If a gambler like you goes to the casino, the casino owner will lose a lot of money."
Moyin said jokingly.
You have to know that Mi Zhou is a little princess at home who has never done any housework. If you ask her to cook, the taste will probably be similar to that of Wajiang. Wajiang's cooking skills have improved after a long period of practice and learning, but for Mi Zhou, well, the only food on the menu will probably be instant noodles.
"How could that be! I cook delicious instant noodles! Trust me, before you found me, I ate instant noodles every day in the factory! The taste is absolutely guaranteed."
Mi Zhou gave a thumbs up confidently.
"Okay, what are you betting on?"
Moyin asked, he hadn't eaten instant noodles for a long time, it would be nice to have one occasionally, and if he won the bet he wouldn't lose anything, so it wouldn't hurt to play with Mi Zhou.
"Well, I bet she will accept it. I don't think anyone can refuse your invitation. Besides, she can gain too much power by hanging out with you."
Mi Zhou thought about it and spoke.
"Then I'll bet you won't accept it."
Moyin shrugged. There were only two options in this situation. Mi Zhou chose one, so he naturally had to choose the other.
"By the way, Ram, I didn't expect you, Moyin, to be so good at cooking."
