Chapter 651: Above the Ants (Below)
Looking at the throat bone's hand, Saladin didn't show any surprise, and he said calmly, "As I expected, you are no longer human. ”
Laryngeal bone was a little surprised: "You already knew?"
Saladin said, "You have fallen to the devil, it is not difficult to guess. ”
"The devil and the holy messenger are just tools of the false gods to deceive the world. Laryngeal Bone withdrew his hand into his sleeve: "I represent a new race, and I represent a great force. ”
Saladin shook his head and said, "You have embarked on a path that is hostile to all living beings. ”
That's because all that remains in the world are some backward and ignorant races, who are immersed in meaningless desires and pursuits, and who deceive themselves in a life of drunkenness. ”
The eyes of the larynx are as sharp as a blade: "Life is like a poison, it poisons people's minds, so that people only see their own desires, but they dare not think about the world after death, and dare not question God's decisions." It lived like this for decades, and finally rotted and died without dignity like a cantharid. ”
"What I'm doing now is just to dispel the poison from the body for everyone, so that they can get out of matter and examine the relationship between man and God. ”
Saladin smiled slightly: "It's quite interesting to say, life brings human desire, and desire blinds the eyes of truth, and death is the key to guiding everything......"
The larynx took two steps forward, approached Saladin and said, "Join us." ”
Saladin shook his head noncommittally.
"You don't need me to remind you, you should know your situation, too." ”
Saladin: "You mean I'm running out of time?"
Throat Bone: "Become a necromancy, you will be an immortal king, your kingdom will last forever, and your people will create an eternal empire." ”
Saladin looked playfully at the throat bone and said, "What's in it for you?"
Throat Bone: "I will establish a religion that belongs to the Necromancy, and you will be the secular king of the Kingdom of the Dead." ”
Saladin understood, "You want to be the Pope of the Church of the Necrons, like the Church of the Heavenly Father?"
Throat bone: "Necromancy, unlike humans, is not deceived by desires, and does not fight for selfish gain. If there were only necromancy in the world, then war and destruction would be far away from us. ”
"And how can the Church of the Father, that place of lies, ignorance, and confusion, essentially a group of people pursuing their own interests in the name of God, compare to us?"
Saladin thought for a moment and said, "Let me sort out my thoughts. ”
"You think that the Necrons who abandon their lives and embrace death will focus their energy and time on working together and progressing because they are no longer hungry for food, wealth, spouses, and power. As a result, the whole world will no longer have hunger, pestilence, and war. ”
"That's right. ”
"You came to me today to let me join the ranks of the necromancy, so that the army under my command will become an army of necromancy, which can help you establish a secular necromantic world, and you can become the pope of the necromancy with peace of mind. ”
"And you, on the other hand, can truly escape the shadow of death, your empire will continue to move forward under your leadership, and as for the academic truths that you care about most, they will grow in the land of the dead," added the throat bone. Isn't it all wonderful?"
Saladin whispered, "It does sound beautiful. ”
"So, you promised me?"
Instead of answering the question of the larynx, Saladin asked something unrelated: "Do you know about humans, larynx?"
The laryngeal bone was stunned.
Saladin poured a cup of hot tea from a plate beside him and placed it in front of his throat bone.
"Allah Allah created out of clay the saint Adam, who is the ancestor of mankind. ”
Saladin dipped his fingers in the water, rubbed a piece of dirt around the edge of the blanket, and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"Clay can change a thousand forms, round or square, long or short, and the addition of different substances can change its color, texture, hardness, and even shape it into pottery by baking it with fire. ”
Saladin threw the clay back into the earth: "However, the clay that has been kneaded and formed will deform when water is added, the clay that has been added to the material will return to its original shape when it is filtered, and the clay made of barbecue, if it is mashed and polished, will eventually be clay." ”
The throat bone asked coldly, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Saladin said softly, "No matter how different in appearance, age, or occupation, whether the body is alive or dead, a human being is a human being. As long as the human soul exists for one day, then its essence does not change. ”
"If, as you say, they no longer need to eat, they no longer value wealth, they no longer care about their spouses, it doesn't mean that human desires will disappear because of this, it just means that they will start craving other things. ”
Saladin gently twisted the earth beneath him: "There is sand in the earth, and the thirst for desire is engraved in the human soul. It does not deviate in any way due to the change in its survival form. ”
The larynx looked a little confused: "Isn't death enough to annihilate the greed in human nature?"
Saladin looked at the throat bone and said calmly, "If you don't believe it, there is an example in front of you. ”
"What?"
"You. ”
"Me?"
Saladin stretched out his thin fingers and pointed to the chest of the throat bone and said, "Isn't it a desire that you want to become a god?"
It is conceivable that when the Necronomicon Kingdom is truly established, there will be many Necrons who will focus on power and status. Saladin laughed and said, "While they are alive, food, wealth, and women can distract them somewhat, but after they die, they will push them into the darker abyss of desire." ”
The face of the laryngeal bone became ugly for a moment.
Saladin said softly, "You are a very intelligent young man, and you should understand what I mean. Pushing the whole world to death will not change the world. Everything will be as usual, sunrise, noon, sunset, night, dawn...... The cycle repeats itself. ”
"I'll admit I can't tell you, but I'd like to invite you to join the necromancy. ”
"Why?"
"I'll tell you the truth, I value your talent for kingdom management and military warfare, and your wisdom has given me a great ...... Inspire, I need your help. ”
Saladin closed his eyes and said slowly, "I can't help you. ”
"You hate the Necromancy, so you don't want to join?"
"Everything exists, and Allah has arranged everything. Your appearance, the appearance of the Necromantic race, these signs must have a deep meaning. I admire Allah's pull on the thread of fate, and how can I say that I am disgusted?"
"Aren't you afraid of death? When you die, the empire you've worked so hard for so many years will collapse completely. ”
"There is a rise and a fall, and there is life and there is an extinction. Saladin's face was filled with bitterness: "I cannot protect this empire forever, all I can do is obey the call of Allah." ”
Throat said angrily: "What about revenge?!, you were poisoned by the Council of Elders, and now you have to be helped to walk." Don't you want to get a new lease on life and get revenge?"
Saladin said calmly, "Although the poison came from the Council of Elders, guess who is the poisoner?"
Larynx frowned and said to himself, "As a caliph, you have many guards and physicians, who can poison your diet for a long time without being detected......"
"It's my son. ”
The laryngeal bones opened their eyes wide and didn't know what to say.
The two were silent for a long time.
Saladin pointed to the tea that had cooled in front of his throat and said, "Taste it, it's hard to get a lot of maryed tea." ”
The laryngeal bone took a sip as he said.
The tea flows slowly through the mouth, esophagus, and finally through the broken chest cavity of the larynx.
Saladin, who saw this scene, drank the tea in his cup and said lightly: "It's a pity. ”
