170 The Zones Of Extreme Phasma - Chapter 170

Fraus left the duo alone after the agreement was finished. He started walking in the city, in the streets. Some time later, he looks at a man and then smiles. "So, here I am."

The man he looks like is Arden himself. Arden looks at Fraus, and then the duo goes to a place they know. The place they went was the first place Fraus bought for himself. Unity Inn The Unity Inn has changed slightly since Nelson took over most of the operations.The prices were not increased much, but the quality of furniture and products has increased.

Other than Lilly, who went missing about one week ago, the other people who work in the Unity Inn are happy as can be.

They have no reason not to be happy as they are paid well enough. Compared to the standards of the industry, Fraus and Unity pay well to their workers. Fraus wanted it to be like this, knowing that if the people at the bottom were happy, then the people at the top would be happy too. which is a simple thing but most of the time can not be understood.

Sitting on the outside, Arden and Fraus looked at each other for about two seconds before starting to talk. The one who spoke first is Arden. As Fraus had nothing to say and Arden had questions to ask.

So, I am not sure where to start. Did you lie to me all the time? "

Fraus takes a deep breath and shakes his head as he starts to speak.

"First of all, I want you to know that my brain and understanding of events do not work the same as you like people."

Arden looks at the face of Fraus, frozen for a second, and then Fraus continues as the beers come to their table.

"I mean, what I did may seem wrong to others, but I was just trying to protect my interests." At the same time, I knew that the things I do would not be liked by you or others. Because of that, I hid them. I do not want you or others to know that I do "evil" things in your eyes. "

Arden took a sip of his beer and asked

"So you are saying that killing people for more power is not an evil thing in your eyes."

Fraus smiles and takes a sip too as he answers.

We always kill things, animals, monsters, or many other things for power, for survival. What is the difference? "

​

Arden was about to say something but kept his silence.

Fraus continued.

"When you kill a cow for its meat, do you ask it if it wants to be killed, or do you consider it an evil act from the perspective of that cow or its friends?"You may very well argue that a cow is not smart enough to understand these things. "

"But what about when it comes to other monsters? The Blue Bird Empire kills millions of intelligent monsters for their meat, bodies, materials, and more power."

"Did you ever think Blue Bird officials or your own organization Dream Sword Art were evil beings because they kill human-level intelligent monsters for their own good?"

Arden could not listen anymore. Not because the words of Fraus are not true, but because every word he says is true. When it comes to other creatures, monsters, and evil beings, it is easy to make these kinds of assumptions and understand that these things are always in the hands of humans.

When Fraus kills humans or the people they have something to gain from, he is evil. If he kills monsters, be they intelligent or not, he is ordinary or not evil. What is evil and what is good? Evil and good are basically matters of perspective.

A snake that eats a mouse is evil in the eyes of the mouse, and it is good for the snake, as it eats because of hunger.

Fraus is evil in the eyes of the Blue Bird Empire and Dream Sword Art Organization, as he kills humans for power, and good in the eyes of friends of himself because he kills because of more power, more security, and more survival. It is as simple as that.

Arden is an old-minded person who is true. But it does not mean that he is a fool.

He is not foolish enough to not understand what is right and what is true. This is something simple that he can understand all the time. Most of the time, people do not understand these things.

Fraus at that time finished the whole beer and ordered another mug before asking.

"Where are Alicia and Belgrum?"

Arden took a deep breath and added.

"I did not tell you about you."

Frau Fraus laughed and asked

"So, you told them a lie. Does that make you evil as you are lying to your friends with blood or just thinking about them?"

Arden just smirks and then speaks.

"I understand what you mean, Arden, so what is your purpose and future plans?"

Fraus shook his head and spoke.

I think of you as my friend, but your organization, Dream Sword Art, and the other organizations you people are connected to, think of me as my enemy. So it does not make any sense for me to tell you what I am going to do. In the end, you hear from me about my plans, and you tell them about Dream Sword Art, which is another thing.

If you start speaking about what I do here after I tell you, I would have no reason to hate you for it. It is just inconvenient for me. "

Arden nodded and Fraus's words made sense to him. He understands how Fraus's mind works to some degree now. Basically, he means that after he knew what Fraus was going to do, telling those plans to the organization would be a good thing from his perspective but not good for Fraus.

Even if he were to tell organizations he works with about the plans of Fraus, from his perspective, Fraus would not hate him because it is a good thing to do.

Fraus took a deep breath and left the Blue Bird City. Looking at the house built by Spirit Hands for himself, he nodded with a smile on his face. He likes the design and other things. The Spirit Hands needed to work much more for this house. Finding trees in the nearest forest and transporting the logs to Flabar Great Plains is more difficult than building a house in the Extreme Phasma Forest.

All things considered, It is a great building. "In the future, this place will be filled with many buildings," Fraus thought, as he could imagine other people, the people from Unity, living here. Imagining that Unity will be on top of the world and will be great in general is a great thought in his mind.

-

Dark Hunter and Snake Queen went on a tour of Extreme Phasma Forest, not only to find Fraus for whatever reason, but also to see if there were any other important things.The Extreme Phasma Forest is divided into five zones. Each zone is controlled by a peak deep fire level or an Awakened Level Being. Zone 2 is under the control of the Dark Hunter and Zone 3 is under the control of the Snake Queen.

Snake Queen is also an Awakened-Level Being and Monster. Zone 1 is controlled by Mountain Giant, Zone 4 is controlled by Devil Hound and Zone 5 is controlled by Mind Butterfly. Dark Hunter and Snake Queen consider each other as close friends and have a good relationship with Mountain Giant, Zone 1 Leader. The other two, Zone 4 Leader Devil Hound and Zone 5 Leader Mind Butterfly, are considered their enemies. The fact that Mind Butterfly has an ability that blocks them is mostly the reason that the trio did not use their collective power and monsters in their command to attack and kill Zone 4 Leader and Zone 5 Leader.

Like every rule, the rule of the Extreme Phasma Forest is simple. The strong eat the weak. The strong thrive for more power, and the weak get eaten as nourishment for the strong. Humans were not that different either.

All things considered, Everything is as simple as that.

-

After Fraus left, Arden went to the side of Belgrum and Alicia, as they were sitting in their room. Alicia starts to speak.

"Leader Nox" left the Blue Bird City for a mission. I believe she left with others most likely to find about Fraus and his motives. "

Belgrum asks.

"How do you figure ?"

Alicia looks at Arden first and then looks at Belgrum's answer. "Leader Nox is the first person that comes to mind to be appointed to a mission like this. Considering that it is a common fact that we are close with Fraus and she is the one who had direct contact with Fraus and has enough power, if I were to be leader, I would give this mission to her.

Arden then asked another question. When it comes to these kinds of things, they all believed Alicia's words. She is a good strategic planner and the smartest one among them.
