The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Latest website: Realizing that the Inquisitor was testing himself, Soshyan calmly chose a very correct and impeccable answer.

"There is a suspicion of heresy, and we will examine ourselves on the same day."

The Inquisitor's eyes rolled again, and he nodded, turning back to his flowerbed again.

"If you're not busy, is it convenient to listen to a story?"

"What is it?"

"Before that, I want to ask you a question."

"Um?"

"What do you think of the current empire?"

Soshyang frowned. He didn't know if the other party was setting a language trap, so after thinking it over and over, he chose a cautious and unwarranted answer.

"We are the emperor's sharp sword, and we don't do what he thinks except beheading the enemy."

"Your words and deeds are very inconsistent."

"Judge, I don't understand what you mean, maybe you can make it clearer."

"Okay, then I'll tell you that story directly, it's actually from a friend of mine, I witnessed a debate that day.... There is such a first on the ancient earth Legends tell of primitive people who lived in caves deep in the mountains."

Somehow, the other party's voice suddenly became like a storyteller, and every gripping word was full of charm.

"These people are cut off from the world, they have never seen the world of light, and if it were not for the faint flame that burns in the middle of the cave, their lives would have been shrouded in eternal darkness, and they fed on the moss on the rock walls, Drinking the cold water of an underground river, they survived, but what they had was no life... those who sat around that fire day in and day out, staring at the sparkling ashes and dancing flames , believing that its light is the light of everything in the world, and the shadows paint shapes and patterns on the walls, which makes them rejoice, they have their own joy, and go through the years like this, never thinking about that Dancing everything but light."

Lennart Meyers paused and asked his audience to imagine the scene, painting the dancing shadows on the rock face in their minds.

"One day, however, a ferocious storm swept through the mountains, but the dwellings of those people were so deep that only a breeze could penetrate the cave, and the flames danced in the wind, and the people in the cave laughed and watched the fire on the rock wall. Many new patterns, and the breeze died away, and they continued to observe the fire, as always... but one of them suddenly stood up and walked away from the fire, much to the surprise of the others, who urged the man to return came to them, and the lone walker shook his head, for he was the only one who longed to explore the breeze, and he followed the receding wind out of the cave, over the cliffs, through the rift, and after all odds, finally looking ahead. There was a dim light."

"The primitive man climbed out of the cave, stood on the mountainside, and looked up at the blazing sun, the light dazzled him, the beauty and warmth made him fall to his knees, he was worried that his eyes had been burned to ashes, but his His eyesight was gradually restored, and he looked around cautiously. The entrance of the cave was high on the mountainside, and the splendor of the whole world spread around him: the gleaming emerald sea, the boundless green grass... This sight made him Weeping because he was saddened to realize that he had wasted his years in the dark, ignorant of the brilliance that was so close at hand, and the whole world had been here, but his short-sightedness kept him on his toes."

The Inquisitor paused, looked up at the stars in the transparent dome, and the rapt audience followed his gaze, as if imagining the dazzling sun in the story.

"The man knew he had to tell his companions of this miraculous discovery, so he made his way back to the cave, while the others were still staring at the fire, smiling blankly at the shadows on the rock wall, the one who had seen the sun The man who re-examined the place that was his home and realized it was a prison, poured out all his discoveries, but these absurd stories of a blazing eye in the sky left them unmoved - they wished Their lives were the same, they laughed at the lone walker, saying he was insane, and then continued to stare at the fire because it was all they knew.... the lone walker couldn't understand why his friends Unwilling to go to the world of light, but he is determined not to let it end because of their refusal, and he will show them that light, and if they will not seek the light, he will let the light come and visit them."

Gradually, Soshyan realized the core problem of the story.

"So the man went back to the world of light, and began to dig, he widened the hole, and labored for a hundred years, and then another hundred years, until he leveled the summit of the mountain, and then he dug down and cut out a The pit that leads to the heart of the mountain, and finally he reaches the cave, and his companions are still sitting around the fire, and those people are so shocked by what he shows, they have missed such a dazzling sight in their past lives. light, and if they could muster the courage to walk with him, they would have experienced the splendid joy, and they left one by one from the dark cave, seeing the real world, witnessing all the wonders and beauties, they turned their heads Looking back at the gloomy old homeland, I was terrified of my ignorance in the past, I can't stop praising the person who led them into the light, remembering his great cause, because all the treasures in the world are forever left to them to explore ."

Lennart Meyers fell silent, then looked at Soshyan.

"What do you think?"

Soshyan thought for a moment, then said:

"What if the man didn't see the sun?"

Lennart Meyers smiled, very happily.

"Ah, you always surprise me, Captain Soshyan, the man who described this story had a very tragic ending, so I realized that there was another ending to this story, and the light shown by that man made his The fellows were terrified because they saw no sun at all, there was only a terrible black sun in the sky, the world was shrouded in blood, the earth was devastated, and only twisted monsters were rampant, so they killed the loner , and then escaped into deeper caves with the fire, and lived in the eternal twilight, perhaps still in distress, but at least they survived."

Soshyan nodded slightly.

"The Empire may be cruel to its people, but it's one of the ways to survive..."

Hearing the last two words, Lennart Meyers raised his brows, but instead of expressing his opinion, he changed the subject.

"Although Abaddon was not eliminated in this battle, the results were still amazing. Terra's award will come soon, but as you know, some people don't want you to be in the limelight, so the focus of this award may be darkness. Angel, I hope you don't mind too much."

Soshyan shook his head.

"Loyalty is our reward."

However, Soshyan felt a little strange, and the other party's tone seemed to be able to influence the decision of the High Lords Council.

"This is good."

Lennart Meyers put his scissors into an oak, gold-trimmed box, then turned to look at Soshyan, giggling.

"You are philosophy."

In the distance, the church bells began to ring, a solemn, rhythmic sound, beautiful and ancient.

"I hope that when we meet again next time, Captain Soshyan, you will make new contributions to the Empire again."

"Of course, if you have time, you can also come to No. 4 Nathan, and I can show the friendship of the landlord."

"Yes, if there is a chance."

Then Soshyan turned and walked away slowly, leaving him in the sweet scent of plants and the sound of bells.

Not long after Soshyan left, from the depths of Lennart Meyers' garden, a huge figure stepped out, his body was covered under a black cloak, revealing only a gorgeous and eccentric golden spire Helmet, with silver thorns wrapped around it, and the face is covered by a golden mask that combines crying and laughter.

He walked over to Lennart Meyers and watched Soshyan disappear behind the hatch, so large that Soshyan had not noticed before.

"How."

Lennart Meyers sighed, a look of nostalgia on his face.

"Like, very similar, I even thought he was standing in front of me at one point."

"Then it's good or bad for the plan."

"You still like to simplify things so much~www.wuxiaspot.com~ People, how can it be so easy to distinguish between pros and cons... Let's see! By the way, if you have time, I hope you tell me Speaking of that Sid, I remember correctly, it seems that there is no such part in the plan?"

The man wearing the pointed helmet was silent for a moment, and then said helplessly:

"I have answered this question three times, and you are the fourth time."

"Oh? So, it's a change made by the first backup?"

"Every time you make some small adjustments to the plan, but that man, Seid..."

The peaked helmet shook from side to side.

"...It's a bit special."

After thinking for a moment, the judge nodded his head.

"Then tell me what you know."
