Chapter 1875: Chapter 628: Chino’s Attributes, Relic Selection

Cao Xing looked at Chino and then asked, "Mr. Chino, I heard from that centurion that your wife is still in the hands of the Watcher?"

The elder nodded and replied, "You probably guessed the course of events."

"My wife is afflicted with the Watcher’s Blood Withering Curse, and as a condition to remove the curse, they invited me to join the Watcher."

"I agreed... and then a series of events occurred..."

Cao Xing’s brow slightly furrowed, "So your wife is now..."

Chino knew what he wanted to ask, so he replied, "Her condition is still okay."

"They placed my wife at the Watcher’s headquarters, along with some other Watcher’s family members who are also there."

Upon hearing this, a trace of worry appeared on Cao Xing’s face, "This time, we’ve completely torn our face with the Watcher."

"I killed so many centurions in the Bloody Army and brought you back."

"Will they become angry out of embarrassment and directly target your wife?"

Chino fell into contemplation, his brow tightly knit, evidently also worried about this issue.

Cao Xing continued, "If the situation is urgent, I can call back all the legendary ones. You know the location of the Watcher’s headquarters, we can charge directly, taking them by surprise, and then rescue your wife."

Chino was silent for a moment and then shook his head, "This time, the Bloody Army has suffered heavy losses, and your power has already been revealed."

"The Watcher’s Leader also knows I will tell you the location of the headquarters, so he must have already shifted the headquarters now."

Upon hearing this, a look of regret appeared on Cao Xing’s face.

What Chino said certainly made sense.

The Watcher Leader is no fool; what one can think of, certainly they can think of too.

Chino continued, "Moreover, according to the Watcher’s rules and their leader’s character, there’s a high probability they won’t involve my wife."

Cao Xing thought for a bit and did not continue to pursue the issue.

He shifted the topic to the Watcher Leader.

"About the Watcher Leader, how much do you know?"

Chino organized his thoughts and replied, "The Watcher Leader has a single name ’Luo’."

"No one knows about his past or where he came from, only that he inherited an ancient legacy."

"This person... is somewhat elusive, and hard to define by pure good or evil."

"He’s not a pure villain; in fact, in certain ways, he is more devoted to salvation and promises than anyone."

"At least during my time with the Watcher, he indeed fulfilled his promises, even saying he never went against his ideals."

"However... his manner is extremely radical, his faith almost ruthless."

"At the same time, he is a very contradictory person."

Chino continued, "You should know his idealism; he believes everything the Watcher does is for humanity’s future."

"His ultimate goal is to overthrow the old order of the entire Continent and liberate all humanity, and no one can shake this."

"In this process, he will try to avoid harming those civilians and commoners, even sometimes displaying a nearly merciful restraint."

"But if encountering some obstacle, he will become ruthless."

"If sacrificing some people could save more, he would unhesitatingly choose sacrifice."

"Even to achieve his goal, the entire Watcher Organization, including himself, could become the price."

Cao Xing thought quietly to himself, "An extreme idealist?"

"Indeed, a bit hard to deal with..."

His brow slightly furrowed, his mind swirling.

"If it’s just having ideals without power, it would be okay."

"But unfortunately, he also possesses demigod-level power and a formidable force, alongside that fearsome Bloody Army employing every means."

"If he could actually succeed, it would be good indeed."

"Even I would support him."

"But the issue is, he seems never to consider the consequences of failure, nor truly caring for the life and death of common people."

From the descent of the Bloody Army to today, within the Kingdom’s territories, countless towns razed, life devastated, blood flowing like rivers.

It indeed matches what King of Velen said: ’Under the Kingdom’s thousands of years of decaying system, the number of dead civilians can never compare to the few suffered during the Blood Chaos.’

Of course, Cao Xing does not endorse what those filthy nobles did; these guys likewise deserve to be killed, to die.

But the problem is, the Watcher Leader’s method is wrong.

"He believes himself capable of controlling everything; everything can proceed according to his plan."

"But he made the wrong step in choosing to summon the Bloody Army..."

"He did not consider the consequences of failure, including the Bloody Army losing control, the Divine entities of the Nether Abyss breaking free, and beings from other planes flooding into the Main Plane."

"By then... it would be a disaster even worse than the Blood Chaos."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn’t help but sigh, "Ideals are indeed noble, but if at the cost of destruction, what significance does such salvation hold?"

Shaking his head, he turned to the elder beside him and said.

"I understand now, Mr. Chino, for now, stay in the Territory."

"We will continue to deal with the Watcher and simultaneously find a way to rescue your wife."

Chino was stunned for a moment, silently nodding.

At this point, he seemed to recall something, hurriedly saying, "By the way, I haven’t properly thanked Lord Cao Xing for saving my life today."
