I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1119 - 588: The Great Eruption of World-Shaking Wisdom (Part 2)

'Kidnapping Dumbledore shouldn't be too much of a problem; the only issue is that I have no way to get into the academy to make a move.'

'Unless we contact Green Sorrow.'

Ruben naturally knew that Green Sorrow would not be content to be a so-called security guard at the academy for his entire life. In his view, this was a huge insult to someone like Green Sorrow, who was of noble birth.

The reason Green Sorrow was willing to accept this insult was that he wanted to gain powerful secrets from the other side. Once he obtained them, he would naturally betray.

So as long as Dumbledore is kidnapped, the process can be skipped, directly obtaining the final result. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

As for failure?

To Ruben, it didn't matter anymore. If he carried on like this, he would be dead anyway, so he might as well take a gamble.

The only remaining challenge was how to persuade Green Sorrow. While Ruben was willing to risk his life, that didn't mean Green Sorrow would choose to comply.

The other could completely stall for time until he succeeded, or even wait for the next time Gu Shanhai went to another world to make a move, when the risk would be lower, rather than act when the risk was highest.

'So, I must come up with a plan that will not only make the other party agree but also use him as a scapegoat.' Ruben needed to plan carefully, ensuring he gained benefits while letting the other party take the greatest risk.

...

"Damn it, something is definitely wrong with the way that deer trains." Green Sorrow winced in pain.

During this period, he followed Little White every day, watching it train, memorizing all its moves.

To avoid any mistakes, he even watched multiple times.

However, when he began mimicking today, he discovered a huge problem. These movements were pure torture for him and had no effect, bringing him only pain.

And if he continued to mimic them, the best-case scenario would be injuring himself, while in severe cases, he might become paralyzed.

He couldn't understand why that deer could train, yet he couldn't.

"Could it be that something is missing?" Suddenly, Green Sorrow realized that the other party wasn't afraid of him stealing the techniques because they had left out a crucial part.

"But with that deer's intelligence, this likely wasn't its own idea, but rather intentionally hidden by the major shareholder."

A gleam appeared in Green Sorrow's eyes; he felt he had grasped the truth.

"As long as I find what's missing, I can understand why the major shareholder is so powerful."

"Obtaining these things directly from the major shareholder isn't realistic, but I can trick them out of that deer."

He had always looked down on Little White, just a fool. If it weren't for its luck, how could it have obtained such power?

Having powerful strength and not cherishing it at all. If it were following him, it would have been devoured immediately.

Fortunately, because the other party was a fool, it was easier to extract information, benefiting him greatly.

He tried mimicking the moves again, but unfortunately, once more, it resulted only in intense pain and had no effect.

Finally, he had to stop and take a good rest.

"Apart from that deer, there are those five Little Witches. Unfortunately, I'm just a security guard, so I don't have the qualifications to enter the library or attend classes."

"But I can coax their notes out of their hands."

"Just a bunch of kids who haven't seen the world."

Previously, he had always focused on Little White, subconsciously ignoring the five Wizard Apprentices. Now, having hit a wall with Little White, he naturally realized.

"Hahaha, the whole academy is filled with fools; no wonder there are still only five students here."

Thinking of this, Green Sorrow couldn't help but smirk disdainfully; once he gained control of this academy, he would... uh, at this moment, he realized that it seemed like everyone else in the world was dead, leaving only Ruben, his tribesmen, and the five Wizard Apprentices at Hogwarts.

As for the others, they were all within him, already absorbed as nutrients.

This left Green Sorrow quite vexed.

Clearly possessing great power, yet without even a single servant, how could this match his status?

"Fortunately, I don't have to worry about this right now. It must wait until I grasp powerful strength before considering it further." Green Sorrow said to himself mockingly.

Failure? That was impossible. He was a unique existence in this world, the wisdom of countless people fused into one.

He called it astonishing wisdom!

With such wisdom, even Gu Shanhai was of no concern to him. Were it not for his strength being inferior, why would he have to endure humiliation just to survive; he would have turned the world upside down by now.

Soon, he reined in his unwelcome demeanor, then stood up and left to find Little White.

Little White was still training at that moment. After all, over time, Green Sorrow had discerned Little White's daily routine.

When he arrived at Little White's dedicated training ground, sure enough, he saw Little White meticulously going through the motions, which brought a glint to Green Sorrow's eyes.

Though these moves were useless and harmful to him, on Little White they carried some peculiar power.

Seeing Green Sorrow's arrival, Little White didn't even bother to pay attention. It knew that Green Sorrow was secretly learning, but the problem was that secretly learning its three-piece set was useless; other deer couldn't train this way, let alone Green Sorrow.

So, it was actually eager for Green Sorrow to learn secretly, since it would be amusing; it often relied on Gu Shanhai and the Four Sacred Beasts, and while it might not be very smart, that didn't mean it couldn't sense the other's malice, at least restrain it a bit.

"Dean, you come here every day to train; do you have any tricks?" Green Sorrow leaned over, asking seemingly casually.

"Yo!" Little White pondered for a bit, then mentioned the trick was indeed having a good master or being luckily picked by one, and the rest was about holding onto someone's leg tightly.

Yes, that's how it succeeded; the rest involved finding a good companion who could give you a pull too.

It didn't know any other ways to succeed; it just muddled through to success.

Green Sorrow also discerned the meaning in Little White's words, leaving him at a loss, as these methods weren't something an average person could do.

Moreover, he wanted to latch onto Gu Shanhai, but Gu Shanhai wouldn't allow it.

As for finding a companion, he simply didn't have one.

Based on Little White's response, he could see that this deer was utterly ignorant, lacking any skills, and could only become strong because Gu Shanhai forced it. Otherwise, how could it be training obediently, hadn't it been bouncing around the academy already?

...

"As he got closer to me, the world's influence on Green Sorrow significantly decreased, so his personality became erratic again."

"But it seems to have become even more severe."

Given Green Sorrow's daily self-talk, how could Gu Shanhai not hear? Even Little White could hear; after all, it was part of the flock that ascended alongside Gu Shanhai, so it was certainly powerful; it's just that nobody brought it up.

"With Green Sorrow's actions, why does it feel like Lan Meng, just because both have a color in their name?"

"Hiss~ Don't say that; with Green Sorrow's start, it indeed feels like a supreme existence, yet his personality gets skewed?"

"So, it seems like there's hope?"

Gu Shanhai mused that letting Green Sorrow continue like this didn't sound optimal.

"I'll see if there's a tiger talisman or something similar, give it a try, and see if I can split Lan Meng from Green Sorrow's body."

"I have to say, playing it this way does seem interesting." Gu Shanhai rummaged within himself; there was no tiger talisman, but he found an octopus.

"Wang Chao's hat? Oh, I didn't eat you last time and kept you alive, didn't expect you to still be around, so you'll do just fine now."

Looking at the octopus, which was initially used to assist a Grand Celestial being, Gu Shanhai thought it was a perfect chance for waste recycling; else, eating it would be a shame.
