Chapter 313: Another Dilemma
Seeing off the Holy See of Light, Thor knew that the matter was not over yet. The fellows saw themselves like flies to carrion, oh no, like a hungry village woman to a handsome nobleman.
However, this group of guys is not too difficult to deal with, and it is clear that years of hiding and hiding have smoothed their edges.
Think about it, no matter how strong your character is, you can't wear time after all. Gradually, you will find that the things that you have been thinking about are finally no longer important. So, in the long river of time, how brave must you be to remember?
After Thor's personal identification, the holy daughter Eletha obviously belonged to a new type of mushroom monster, and the whole person seemed to be ...... But it's normal, she shouldn't have been in the world for a long time, or maybe she hasn't been deeply involved in the world.
How can there be so many talents and appearances?
Thor suspects that there should not be many people in this world who are as intelligent and beautiful as himself, and who are the embodiment of bravery and fearlessness.
In the past, Thor didn't really care much about his appearance and wisdom, but there was no way, from the adoring eyes of his own mushrooms, Thor finally realized. What should shine will always shine, and it can't be covered.
Standing on the street in early spring, the street lights on the street seemed to have softened a lot, but Thor was suddenly a little at a loss. He turned his head to look through the dark and distant canopy in the direction of Odrenza, the main city of the South.
Thor knew that he was standing in the calm before the storm, and he knew that something must be brewing in the group, even if it was a nidal situation. But he couldn't figure out what to do, so he was at a loss.
This was not some kind of persecution paranoia, and the big fight at the Odrensa ball was tantamount to slapping everyone in the face of the Dark Council.
The glory of the ancient system, the decency of those in power, and the deep feud of blood all piled up for a variety of reasons, making the whole thing a storm that will eventually come. It's just that this time I'm no longer the protagonist, but I've become the one who gets revenged.
It's the early spring of the year 720 of the Dark Calendar, and it's been more than a year since that event.
In this year of quiet time, my life full of spider webs has finally been cleaned. And I can finally stand in the dark shadow of death and raise my head and take a closer look at what life really looks like.
It's a pity that good things don't last long.
The Dark Council has been enduring it for a year, and it should be about the same.
If you want to say that you are afraid of it now, Thor is actually afraid.
It's just that he is not afraid of his own destruction, but of losing those who surround him.
In the past, Thor was powerful, and a person should be born and die. Anyway, there is no one close to him, and if he dies, he will not affect anyone. It is said that people who have nothing are the most powerful, and Saul has always been in favor of this sentence.
But life is like this, there are too many ties, and the character can no longer be sharp.
After burying the villagers of Lucia and Undercurrent, Thor went to Odrenza with his heart on his own. Old and cursed, a monster without even a heart, Thor never thought he had any chance of surviving.
When the people die, it's a big deal to let those people grind their bones into powder and feed them to fish and farm, and it won't affect anyone anyway.
But this is where the world is unpredictable, and he survived.
Now, every shiitake mushroom in the family, even the companions of Staunt and Diller, has become his own weakness.
If the three eighth-order old hairs of the Dark Council joined forces to attack, there might not be many people on this continent who could stop it.
No, it should be said no.
But the current situation cannot be walked away by itself.
Once you disappear, in order to force yourself out, the people around you who have a relationship with you will inevitably be targeted and persecuted. And even if he survives alone again, what he gets is nothing more than the next life of revenge.
And it is unrealistic to escape with everyone, one is that the goal is too big, and the other is that Saul believes that from the moment he escaped from Odrenza, those people have never let up their surveillance of him.
In this regard, Thor has never doubted the organizational background of others, an ancient organization that has been in operation for hundreds of years, if it doesn't even have this intelligence ability, then it is better to close its doors and sell salted fish.
It is impossible to escape into the secret realm, there is no food source is a problem, the most important thing is to wander in the secret realm for a long time, and the probability of encountering those secret realm nightmares will become inevitable. What collectors those who come at random, still do not understand.
In short, as long as you are still on this continent, there is no escape at the moment.
Standing on the street where light and shadow meet, Thor suddenly remembered the question his mentor had asked him many years ago when he was still in Grayscreen.
"What would you do if one day you were besieged by three powerful enemies who were several levels superior to you and blocked all your escape?" asked the mentor at the time.
"My answer is that I will choose a way to die and try to preserve my last dignity. But I think the point is not in the outcome, but in the pre-situation. ”
"If I'm cautious enough before then, I might be able to detect the enemy's malice in advance through some channels. As long as I have the first opportunity, I can lay out them one by one in the shadows. ”
"Even if I find out that the comer is invincible, I can take advantage of the opportunity to escape while I still have the strength to spare. ”
"In short, when the three-person siege was formed, I had no chance to correct my mistakes. I made a mistake for not paying attention to the enemy until then and ended up putting myself in danger. ”
"Then at the end of the day, I'm going to die. That was Saul's answer at the time.
To this day, Saul still vividly remembers the way he talked at the time. Huaxiu Chinese
Unfortunately, answering questions is a simple matter after all, and many times we can come out of the blue, or open our mouths, and even if we answer incorrectly, we will not bear any consequences.
It wasn't until it came to an end, or a casual Q&A many years ago that Thor truly understood the horror of reality. I can't fight or escape, and reality itself has become an unsolvable dilemma or a cage.
The choices you can make are very limited, and the difference is just to face it alone or with a group of people.
It's a pity that both of them are dead ends, the strength of those eighth-order old monsters is not something that Thor can catch up with without sleeping for a few days and months without sleeping, it may take many, many years.
There are even many who spend their entire lives still on the path of seeking strength to this day.
Then forget it.
Compared with the bleak life in the corner with his knees huddled in the past, he can be regarded as having seen a beautiful life now.
Thor decided not to think about it anymore and let it be. At this moment, even if you stand on this street as a sculpture, or even as a philosopher, you can't solve this unsolvable problem.
Leaving the street, Thor went to the quartermaster of the military headquarters to ask again about the readiness of the supplies and told them to be ready to go. War is about to start, do what you can, living in the moment has always been Thor's principle.
The white-robed Archbishop Bernate has made it clear that they will not meddle, intervene in, or support any form of territorial war, at most they will take advantage of the beginning of the war to find an opportunity to steal a chicken, this treacherous old bachelor.
At the dinner table, Thor was as silent as ever, but everyone was used to his quiet appearance.
The mushrooms chatted happily and happily.
"Yes, the craft has improved. Sensing the expectant gaze of Andor and Fincki's sprouts, Thor smiled and nodded.
Receiving Thor's compliment, the two sprouts smirked with satisfaction, as if they had picked up money.
"What are you thinking?" said Beth, looking softly, shoving her little hand into Thor's hand, passing the warmth of her fingertips.
Thor shook his head slightly.
"What else can you think? This guy must be thinking about how to take back the Holy Maiden of the Holy See of Light, that woman is deliberately veiled, she should have some possibility. Petty pursed her lips with a look of disdain.
Thor subconsciously turned his head to look at her.
Petty, who was ready to fry her hair, was stunned, she saw that Thor's gaze was calm, as if there was still some ...... Empty?
After dinner, the mushrooms made an appointment to go to the market, and it is said that the new fabrics are in demand. Thor waved his hand, he would never take the initiative to suffer such suffering, anyway, the safety of the mushrooms was followed by guards, and he didn't have to worry about it.
After Andor and Fenki packed up their cups and plates and hurriedly chased them out of the door, the entire Lord's Mansion fell completely silent.
Thor poured the warm tea from his cup and returned to his room to pour it on the bed.
"Tom~tom. "There was a sudden knock on the door in the room.
"Who?" Thor was a little puzzled, and at this moment the lord's mansion seemed to be alone.
"I sneaked back halfway. Petty explained as she pushed the door open, then glanced quickly down the hallway.
"What's the matter?" looked at her mysterious appearance, Thor couldn't laugh or cry.
"I am...... Come and see you. Petty clutched her skirt.
You're coming to see me? You're actually coming to see your lifelong enemy? Is your conscience finally hurting?Or is this some new mushroom tactic?Thor sat up from the bed suddenly, his shocked expression as if he had heard Staunt lay a nest of eggs himself.
"I'm done, I'm leaving. Seeing Saul's startled reaction, Petty Shiitake angrily turned around and twisted the doorknob.
"Stop, do you think the lord's room is a place where you can enter and leave as you want? Thor clasped his hands.
Petty hesitantly walked to the bedside, where Thor dragged him and sat across his lap.
Then Thor lay on her lap, his arms on his back, his head arched, and his eyes closed.
The surroundings are quiet.
Silently watching his appearance, Petty thought that his judgment was right, and he seemed to be a little tired. Petty stretched out her little white hand a little nervously, first on the tips of her fingers, then on her palms, and rubbed it on his head, but the guy didn't react.
"Is it because of me?" said Petty, gently stroking his stiff hair.
"Because of you?" Thor asked in a muffled voice.
Petty breathed a sigh of relief at his tone, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
"I thought I was arguing with you a lot, boredoming you and making you angry. Petty subconsciously explained.
