My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

The clan chief said calmly.

Ye Zimo was slightly taken aback. That's right, the Bloodstone resources originally belonged to the Teranti Islands.

Previously, the four nations believed that Atlantis was unclaimed land. In reality, the Nofele people had always lived beneath the vast land of Atlantis, peacefully managing the archipelago.

Previously, Ye Zimo had always thought that Mei'er was fighting a battle for survival.

No matter how you look at it now, what they are fighting is a war of plunder.

However, the battle for survival and the battle for plunder are often indistinguishable.

If Meor continues on the continent of Tiers, it will eventually be annexed by Innis due to internal and external troubles. Terantis is an opportunity, a chance to turn the tide.

While they could not defeat Innis on the continent of Tyrus, they had a chance to defeat him on Terantis.

Rewriting the fate of the Toridor race is what she, the golden child of Toridor, should do.

Therefore, she could never see this issue from the perspective of the Nofele tribe chief.

She could only follow her heart as much as possible.

"The holder of the V-012 Immortal Curse has been here. Now everyone on it is dead, but they still feel that they are alive. The Meor Alliance has decided to bombard the entire Island 1 with artillery fire after I return, to purify the island with flames. At that time, you may suffer annihilation, so I suggest you leave here first. This is from Toridor's friendliness."

Ye Zimo said earnestly.

The old patriarch raised his eyes, his dark green pupils flickering slightly, and for the first time, I could feel a fluctuation of emotion on his face.

Chapter 267 True Freedom

Although the old patriarch possessed remarkable intelligence capabilities, these were limited to the Teranti Islands. His perspective was also confined to this land, and he was unaware of any ancestral artifacts that could allow the dead to remain alive as if they were still alive.

He knew it was a form of pollution, but he didn't know how to come into contact with it.

Perhaps the outsiders knew this, which is why they chose to burn it.

But once the artillery fire reaches the Atlantis Islands, the underground world beneath the cemetery will also be destroyed.

Ye Zimo meant giving them time to migrate in advance.

They need to give up this island.

The old patriarch sighed slowly: "Why are you telling me all this?"

In the old patriarch's mind, all these outsiders had the same goal: to compete for the Bloodstone. Ye Zimo seemed to be a little different from the first wave of outsiders who landed.

First, she followed the clues in the cemetery and found their gathering place.

Secondly, she took the initiative to tell herself that the foreign army was preparing to launch a fire attack on the island.

"I'm just doing what I think is right. If you'd like, I'll arrange for a ship to come and escort you to Area 3. Area 2 has been occupied by Innis's army and is not suitable for relocation at the moment."

"There is no such thing as goodwill without reason. If you don't explain your reasons, I won't believe you."

The old patriarch spoke calmly.

At this moment, the totem of the Nofele tribe on the scepter in his hand began to emit a faint blue light.

Although Ye Zimo didn't know which number this ancestral artifact had, her intuition told her that it was very dangerous.

Despite this, Ye Zimo's face remained expressionless; she was as calm and composed as ever, and slowly said:

"Although the Norfiel race is good at gathering intelligence, they do not know that this world is not just the Telanti Islands. Across the Misty Sea, there is a much larger continent with four countries. Each kingdom's civilization has developed hundreds of years faster than yours. With the development of civilization comes the depletion of resources, and economic, social, and national conflicts have been intensified. Therefore, a world war will break out on the Telanti Islands. The battles that have taken place on the islands before are just the prelude."

If you wish, you may choose to join my camp. I promise you a peaceful place to live after the war, and I will have someone teach you how to properly use the Bloodstone, extract the blood from it, and lead you into the world of civilization.

At that time, the number of bloodstone veins you possess may decrease from countless veins across the entire Terratis Islands to just a few. However, your utilization rate of these veins will reach an unprecedented level, still satisfying your survival needs. In addition, you will gain residency status in the Kingdom of Meor, becoming citizens protected by the national military and its violent machinery.

I cannot guarantee whether wars will break out again, but I can guarantee that when war does occur, you will not be sold as slaves, servants, or commodities; you will not be homeless again; you will have human rights; you will not have to live forever in cemeteries, only seeing the sunlight after death.

Ye Zimo did not portray the Innis Empire as an evil invading country, distort the facts, or shift the blame to Innis and the other three countries. Instead, she claimed that Meor was there to rescue them and would become the savior of the Terratis Islands, thus deceiving the old patriarch into trusting her.

She chose to tell the truth, and she believed she had the ability to persuade the Kingdom of Meor to accept these natives.

Because if these indigenous people can be successfully recaptured, the help they will provide will be far beyond imagination. They are both allies and locals. They are extremely familiar with the geography of the entire archipelago, and can provide food and supplies, as well as excellent intelligence capabilities.

Ye Zimo believed that her other three competitors would also think of this and try to win over the local Nofele people.

The old patriarch's scepter emitted a faint green light, proving that Ye Zimo's words were true and that she had not deceived him.

This is a scepter that can distinguish between people who are telling the truth and those who are lying.

“We, the Norfele people, are used to a free and unrestrained life. We can do whatever we want in the underground world. We are not used to being controlled, nor do we want anyone to divide our wealth.”

The wealth the old clan chief mentioned refers to the bloodstone vein.

As Ye Zimo said, once the entire island is occupied by foreign troops, they cannot leave all these blood mines to the locals; the greedy ones might even want to take them all.

"Freedom is not about being able to do whatever you want, but about not having to do what you don't want to do."

Lin Mo spoke on behalf of Ye Zimo.

The old clan chief was slightly taken aback.

"Without strength, you cannot protect yourself and your people. You will be forced to do many things you don't want to do. The Nofele tribe has been isolated from the world for too long. You need to develop. War is a catalyst for development. Perhaps this war is an absolute disaster for your generation, but it may not be for your descendants. We will bring advanced civilization, technology and support, provided that you are willing to cooperate with us, Toridor."

Ye Zimo spoke without any emotion, like a calm machine.

The old clan chief had never seen anyone more composed than himself, especially a beautiful young girl. He always felt that the girl in front of him was not as young as she looked, and he had the feeling that he was communicating with an elder.

“We do not want to become vassals of other kingdoms, lose our own culture, and ultimately lose the pride of the Nofel tribe, becoming people without national faith, without homes, and whose souls will be unable to return to their homeland after death.”

The old clan chief's son spoke earnestly. He, along with the old clan chief's grandson and son, had been standing nearby eavesdropping. At this moment, they couldn't help but interject.

The old clan chief's grandson nodded repeatedly: "If someone attacks, we should fight back. Nofele tribe, unity is strength!"

'Unity is strength?'

Lin Mo felt a sense of déjà vu upon hearing those words.

'This is their Nofel tribe's tribal language: Unity is strength.'

Ye Zimo explained in her mind.

Because the two have descended many times, they can now communicate with each other in the realm of consciousness.

The old patriarch stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "You heard it too, my children do not want to become appendages of other civilizations, so although your opinion sounds good, we refuse."

As expected, gaining the support of the Nofele tribe was not so easy.

Especially when one is the aggressor on someone else's territory.

But Ye Zimo will not give up on winning this force. Her goal is victory in the war, and securing all conditions that are conducive to the victory of the Mei'er Kingdom is what she needs to do.

She didn't expect to convince the chief of the Nofele tribe in one go, nor did she resort to hypnosis.

“I will think of a solution that satisfies both sides, and I will tell you later. The most urgent thing is that you need to leave this island temporarily.”

Chapter 268 Trust

“We refuse to be part of Meor, but we can cooperate, provided you show us your sincerity.”

The old clan chief said slowly.

"?"

Ye Zimo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"We hope to cooperate with the strong. The first thing is that we will not relocate from this island, and you must solve the pollution on the island. Once you complete this task, we can sign a cooperation agreement, but we will be equals. We do not need the citizenship of the Kingdom of Meor, and you cannot treat us as commodities to be bought and sold."

The old patriarch said solemnly, "Once the cooperation agreement is reached, we will become allies. You will help us drive away the other invaders, and we will give you a portion of the blood mine."

For Ye Zimo, the blood mine was secondary; her real purpose was to help Torid drive away the people of the other three major clans, so this deal was very worthwhile for her.

Ye Zimo agreed to their proposal because, apart from fire, she had a way to deal with the remaining pollution on the island and eliminate the M virus.

Her confidence stemmed from the great wizard Lin Mo.

Lin Mo has already cleared out a private plot of land in her consciousness and begun to build a safe house "brick by brick".

Once this safe house is built, Lin Mo and Ye Zimo's consciousness can both descend into this small house, which is equivalent to opening up a small world, although the space is a bit narrow.

But it doesn't matter, Lin Mo's goal is simply to continue his passionate relationship with his girlfriend and have a space where they can meet anytime.

Since Lin Mo has been able to do this, it proves that his level of witchcraft has reached a level that surpasses all mortal wizards.

Therefore, his purification technique is absolutely incomparable to the purification ring of the cursed artifact.

Ye Zimo left the tomb and returned to the surface world.

'I kept saying I didn't need your help, but it seems I have to go back on my word.'

Ye Zimo and Lin Mo exchanged ideas.

'You're so outstanding that it makes me feel insignificant. Being able to help you at least proves I have some value.'

Lin Mo said self-deprecatingly.

'Then I'll leave it to you this time.'

Ye Zimo said.

'No problem, I'll purify these people, but don't you find it strange?'

'What's strange about it?'

'We previously speculated that the owner of the V-012 should be in Yud, Innis. Think about what the characteristics of the V-012 are.'

Ye Zimo was stunned. She had been so busy analyzing the situation on the island that she had overlooked this point.

The characteristic of V-012 is that it infects people with the virus, and although their bodies die, their consciousness does not. They may not even remember that they are dead. The deceased will continue to live according to their own will, just as if they were alive. They will not be aware of any abnormalities in their bodies.

In other words, Torid's soldiers will rise again after they die, believing they are not dead, and continue fighting, just like they are now.

Since the entire vanguard and scholars of Toridor have been killed, there is no reason for Yud to continue using V-012. This would only be adding to his own troubles and creating an invincible undead force for Toridor.

They are dead, and they will no longer be afraid of pain.

They believed that since they were not dead, they would maintain their military characteristics and continue fighting.

As the owner of V-012, how could Yud not have thought of such a team?

Unless, V-012 has already changed hands.

Moreover, it is currently in the hands of either Meor or Iraf. Area 1 is a shared territory of Meor and Iraf. Since the people of Meor are all dead, this ancestral artifact is very likely in the hands of the people of Iraf.
