Chapter 916: Just a guess



"Your Excellency, could you please take the time to explain to me what you are talking about?" Old Volp furrowed his brows tightly, the mockery was clear in Robin's tone but he didn't dare to respond in a bad way.

"You are the one who deals with the Overlord? Well then, I have a few guesses and they are all bad, after you answer a few short questions I will give you the most suitable bad guess among them, how about that?" Robin opened his arms innocently, then looked into Volp's eyes seriously, "Tell me first, what does your Overlord look like, what is your general impression of him?"

"I don't know, the time we saw him on Planet Gudah he was a pure white soul fragment, and when I met him in prison it wasn't in his body wither, it was through a vague voice transmission device... I don't know what he looks like and I haven't heard his voice." Volpe nodded

Robin nodded again, "Very good... The planetary spirits know a lot, and they also attack any outside soul fragment that tries to enter the planet, perhaps the spirit of Planet Gudah knew something when that Overlord's soul fragment visited you... Didn't she tell you anything about it?"

"What do you mean she told us? Can we communicate with the planetary spirit before entering the middle planetary belt!?" Volpe raised one eyebrow and looked at Samson, who in turn shrugged his shoulders

"Heh~" Old Gu shook his head with a sigh.

Robin tapped his hand on his armrest, "I love foxes and I love those who love foxes~ That's an interesting sentence, is it a coincidence that an Overlord of the Middle Planetary Belt would find a planet that contains a fox-type beast king that he happens to love? And that in his first appearance, he also appeared at the altar? The High Lord's conversation with the Beast King Devos the Transcendent, which made him help you and give you his blood of his own free will is also a mysterious element, what could the High Lord have that would convince a beast to help a number of weak mortals like you and provide you with his blood, and even allow those you call the mediator to summon him in times of danger!? It is impossible that he forced him, if the High Lord tried to force one of the inhabitants to do something by force, the spirit of the planet would not remain silent..."

Robin didn't care about Volpe's confused reaction and continued anyway, rubbing his chin with his other hand, "...What if that Overlord specifically bought the coordinates for a planet that contains a powerful fox-type beast? Maybe that Overlord has a way to benefit from the fox-type beasts and perhaps increase their strength? Is that how he convinced Devos the Transcendent to help the locals?!"

"But why would he want to help the locals? ...Provide him with food without him having to hunt, and be cannon fodder in case an invasion comes, that's an easy question to answer! And for Devos the Transcendent to be more comfortable with them they had to be transformed into Demi-Foxes, not half-foxes as we see on all planets where the mutant takes an attribute or two from each species, but completely transformed into foxes that can stand on two feet!"

Robin slowly opened his eyes and looked excited, "What if the Overlord wasn't looking for a planetary empire to begin with but was just looking for an ancient fox beast? What if he wanted to build up forces around the fox to protect him until he safely reached the middle planetary belt? This makes sense, so he sent a small amount of weapons and a Minor Frost Law technique that were barely enough for any defensive operation! What if—"

"Your Excellency!" Robin was interrupted while talking to himself when he heard Old Man Gu's voice, "Please, that's enough for now..."

Robin didn't quite understand what Old Man Gu meant and wanted to rebuke him, but he caught a glimpse of a scene that immediately caught his attention...

Volpe had his eyes and mouth wide open, his head between his claws, shaking left and right in silence.
