Chapter 157: The Obsession with 0 and 1
“So, since the outcome of this war is about to be decided, what will the Gottero Empire have to give up?”
Since Lewis knew about the international situation, Leon naturally wasn’t going to miss the chance to dig for more information.
“Probably an expansion of territory in the Gem Sea,” Lewis replied. “The Gottero Empire itself doesn’t have anything the Fengier Republic particularly needs. But its territorial waters… that’s something the Fengier Republic has always coveted. With victory this time, most of the islands in the Gem Sea will likely become Fengier territory.”
“Why is the Fengier Republic so interested in those islands?” Leon pressed.
“I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking. But almost every one of those islands in the Gem Sea has ruins and secrets from ancient times. That might be what they’re after.” Lewis lowered his voice at the end.
“Don’t tell anyone about what we talked about today. That includes anything about Pam. I’ll reveal the truth when the bus to the Calico Desert is repaired.”
“Alright,” Leon agreed.
After saying his piece, Lewis turned and went back to drinking with Marnie.
Having gotten the information he wanted, Leon didn’t linger at the Stardrop Saloon. He paid his bill, said goodbye to Emily, and left.
