Chapter 916: Just a guess
"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.
"He didn\'t he tell you how to communicate with the planet\'s spirit?! You were kept in the dark to the point ...? Hahaha, this is more interesting than I thought." Robin burst out laughing, "Well then, next question... When he gave you the weapons on your last visit, were you told anything? Either by him or one of his followers?"
"...They just told the group to go back and use the weapons to prevent the invaders from bothering Devos The Transcendent." Volpe\'s brows furrowed even deeper, "And that shouldn\'t have come as a shock to us, the first time the Overlord visited us he said that \'He loves foxes and loves those who love foxes\' and that\'s why he started dealing with us in the first place."
"Well then, my guess is 90% complete, there\'s just one more thing that will complete the picture..." Robin pointed at Volpe, "Let me guess, your planet is less than five thousand years away from being promoted to the middle planetary belt, right?"
"There are only 2000 years left actually, how did you know?" Volpe looked at Samson, then turned back to face Robin in surprise.
Old Gu was shocked by that amount of time and then turned back to stare at Robin\'s face, he almost understood what he was getting at...
"Then the case is solved~" Robin clapped, "It seems that that Overlord really wanted to establish his own planetary empire in the Young Planetary Belt, so he obtained the coordinates of your planet in one way or another to pack you up for this mission, but when he found that there was only a short period left before you moved to the Middle Planetary Belt and that you didn\'t have time to establish an empire strong enough to do anything significant, that Overlord preferred to give you a few things to defend yourselves with until you reached the Middle Planetary Belt, and then he could occupy you himself!"
"....!!!" King Volp opened his eyes wide, he wanted with all his being to reject what he heard but he couldn\'t find anything to say.
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..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
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.
