"And what did these experiences bring you?" asked Paul.

"When I first arrived in the Empire, I lived with guilt all the time. Although I had no choice but to escape from the expeditionary force, I felt that I was ashamed of Commander Richard, who had taken good care of me for so many years, and that I had violated my moral code all along. ”

"You also have a moral code?" Luo Songxi said sarcastically.

"Teacher Sinda is a moral and clean person, at least on the surface, and when she teaches us. ”

"So it turned out that during the years spent in the Western Military District as Michael Thaler, John and I had the same goal, I always hoped to use my ability and character to ascend to a high position in the Federation, and then use gradual reform to promote the Federation into an ideal country. ”

However, such an ideal is undoubtedly in the air. The Confederation is a country where class solidification is more severe than that of an empire. In the Empire, John can still ascend to the throne through Charles's connections, because the royal family has a strong personal voice in the Empire after all. ”

"But in the federation, no one has such a personal voice, and the big chaebols who jointly govern the federation maintain a balance of power and interests among themselves, and people who do not belong to this class have no way to get involved, let alone change and break this balance. ”

"John and I are both too idealistic, or rather, we are both too selfish. ”

"Selfish?" Luo Songxi asked inexplicably.

"Yes, when we built the Flower of Evil, we made a great wish, and we were willing to sacrifice everything we had in order to fulfill our ideals, to achieve a truly equal and just society, and you know, that is the highest doctrine of the Flower of Evil. ”

"Before, I thought that what needed to be sacrificed might include energy, wealth, family, and even our lives if necessary. ”

"But I found that there were more precious things that we were unwilling to sacrifice. ”

"That's our reputation, our principles, our so-called ethics. ”

"Before, we cherished these things more than our lives. However, if only evil can remove the original evil, and only by shedding blood can the existing abscess be removed, then in order to achieve our ideals and goals, even if we leave behind a monstrous notoriety, then what is the matter?"

"Did West teach you?" Luo Songxi asked him.

"No, West is a realist and egoist through and through, he has no ideals, he only desires. Even if he joined the 'Flower of Evil', it was because he saw through the personality differences between John and me, and wanted to use the organization to make him a person. ”

"But I have to say that the way he did things was very effective. If he can achieve his personal goals in this way, why can't I also use this way to fulfill my ideals?"

"When John and we first established the 'Flower of Evil', the meaning was to let all evil blossom into the flower of good. But then I learned that evil does not produce good flowers, but evil flowers can bear good fruits. ”

Luo Songxi glanced at Lin Xiaoman and was silent.

"After the assassination of Charlemagne, John left, and West took advantage of the situation to demand that he share the power of the organization equally with me. The result of my negotiations with him was that I returned to the Commonwealth, and he succeeded John on the Imperial side. In the organization, I was called the 'Great Prophet' and he was called the 'Great Protector', and he claimed that his status was slightly lower than mine, but in fact, from that time on, I could no longer command him. ”

Of course, West's plan to take power in the Empire also failed later, and he didn't expect Antonidas to rise to the god rank so quickly. But West's move to bloodied the royal family, after all, paved the way for Antonidas. The empire has changed a lot and quickly over the years. ”

"It's just that Antonidas's reform, which is the way of the Federation, is not pure enough and not clean enough. ”

"Then you returned to the Federation and became a Paul Councilor?" Luo Songxi asked him.

"It's not that I became Councillor Paul, it's Councillor Paul who became me. Paul Edwards said.

......

......

On the star-picking tower like a spray can, another round of incomparably brilliant fireworks erupted.

The fireworks died down, and West landed on the top of the tower, his face flushed. And Antonidas across from him was still calm.

"Don't waste your efforts," Antonidas laughed, "This tower is an enchantment jointly laid by Jill Gonzalez and the Elven Rangers, and only the royal blood can open this enchantment. ”

"And when His Majesty Carlinson was able to take over the inheritance of the Rising Sun Empire and ascend the throne as emperor, it was because Robespierre's bloodline could also open this enchantment that it was recognized, and he was also the chosen one. ”

"Oh," Antonidas said as if in a flash of realization, "so you want to bring that kid back, just to have him help you open this barrier?"

"It's a pity, your Jing Navy's intelligence system is too ineffective, and when you confirm his identity and send someone to the Federation to arrest him, he came to the empire. When you turn the gun and go to Giles to arrest him, he escapes back to the Federation. ”

"You still want to hide it from me?" said West, coldly, "how can there be any Robespierre blood in that child?"

"The empire has descended since His Majesty Carlinson, and what emperor has the blood of Robespierre?"

"Carlinson, Carlinson, I'm afraid Carlin is the real surname of the imperial royal family. ”

......

......

"Councillor Paul has become you, why does it sound so awkward?"

The silent wind still permeated every corner of the tent. It's been more than an hour since Paul arrived, but 77 still hasn't brought back any message.

Luo Songxi's perfunctory words to Paul have gradually become absent-minded.

Yet Paul was still in high spirits.

"I went back to South Fung in the southern part of the Union, and there happened to be a guy named Paul Edward, who had just run for the South Fung State Council. ”

"He was born at the bottom, alone, without a family, and he built up a lot of fame by fighting public interest lawsuits for workers and was elected to the state legislature, which is a very good fit for me. He happens to have the same name and last name as me. I didn't want to live under a false name anymore, so I took control of him with a psychic puppet that I brought back from the Imperial Family. Then, slowly, I became Councillor Paul. ”

"Does that Paul Edward look like you, or have you been living by disguise and disguise all these years?" Luo Songxi asked him.

"I don't even want to use a fake name, so how can I live with a mask? ”

"I made that Paul Edward, change a little bit every day. There is only a little change every day, and everyone around you will not notice it, or think it is natural. And then it took me three years to finally get him to slowly and completely become me under everyone's noses. In this way, I can rotate with him and act as a Paul Councillor. ”

"But I didn't expect Marco José to have a dog nose. ”
