"Caliph, don't let him leave like this!"

Elem walked quickly to Saladin's side and said anxiously, "All the things he did were demonic acts!"

Saladin looked at the stack of books in front of him, picked up the Confessions from them, and turned the pages to see that there were dense annotations everywhere.

"Do you remember the first time you saw this young man with a laryngeal bone, what he looked like?"

Elem was stunned: "The first time I saw him?"

"He is like a demon who has just crawled out of hell, with nothing but malice and hatred for the world in his eyes. Saladin whispered, "At that time, he was pursuing the vision of the end of the world, longing for the end of the world. ”

Elem clenched his scimitar: "We should have killed him then!"

Saladin shook his head and said, "He is still the same evil spirit, but he has one more thing in his eyes, something precious. ”

Elem gritted his teeth and said, "You shouldn't let him go because you cherish his talents, right?" I dare to assert that the throat bone is a scourge, and sooner or later he will harm the entire empire!"

Saladin did not answer Elem's question, but suddenly changed the subject: "I ask you, how long do you think I will live?"

Elium deliberately avoided Saladin's gaze: "What are you talking about?!Your body is getting better day by day!"

Saladin smiled and said, "I told you before that you can't look around when you lie. ”

Elium hung his head and said nothing.

Saladin asked, "I ask you again, who after my death will take my place and continue to lead the empire into the future?

Elium opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he did not speak.

"You should be well aware of the dire situation within the Empire. Saladin sighed: "The counterattack of the old imperial forces, the confrontation of many religious forces, the hearts of the governors everywhere are ......."

"This empire looks so powerful, but in fact it is already in tatters. ”

Elium said worriedly, "Your Majesty ......"

Saladin waved his hand: "Don't comfort me, there is no such thing as eternity in this world, and everything has an end...... If there is anything that will remain the same, then there is only the word truth. ”

"Truth?"

"The law of all things, the law of the universe, the meaning of life...... I believe that behind all this, there will be a cruel yet true explanation that exists there. Saladin gently closed the Confessions and carefully brushed the dust off the surface: "And the young man of the throat bone, what he is doing now is to seek the truth behind all things, and this is the reason why I am reluctant to target him. ”

Elium asked, "So what should the empire do......"

Saladin arranged the books neatly, closed his eyes and said slowly: "Everything has its own reason, and Allah will arrange it." ”

In the dark and damp basement, Karin, who had lost her sight, groped with her hands as she walked forward.

With a thud, she crashed into something hard and fell to the ground.

The strange sound of uh-uh in front of her made Karin recognize the other man's origin, the strange man who couldn't speak, but was immensely powerful.

"Get out of my way!"

Karin struggled to get up, trying to get around the other way, but ran into the weirdo again.

Annoyed, Karin kicked the stranger, only to find that the other party did not move at all, still standing in her way.

"I told you! Get out of here!"

The strange man let out a uh-uh pleading, but still didn't get out of the way.

Just as Karin touched the ground, looking for something to attack, an old voice stopped her movements.

"Don't embarrass him. ”

Karin straightened up, turned her head in the direction of the voice, and said in disbelief, "I recognize your voice, you are ...... Master Myris?!"

The withered Myris, who came out of the darkness, stood in front of Karin, looked at the once ignorant and innocent face, and sighed deeply: "Fate has sent you back to us again. ”

Karin excitedly grabbed the corner of Myris's clothes, "Why are you here? What is this place? Can you take me out?"

Myris lifted Karin up, sat him back on the edge of the stone bed, and said softly, "Kid, let's take our time. ”

"In that fire in the city of Taylor, we found you dying and brought you back for healing. Myris whispered, "You have extensive burns all over your body, and it's a miracle that you've survived." ”

Karin was silent for a long time, touching her face and saying, "What about my eyes?"

"I try my best to heal, but I can't guarantee that you will regain your sight. ”

Karin lowered her head, suppressed her sadness, and said, "I want to go back to Twilight West." ”

Myris shook his head slightly: "Next, the second thing I want to say, I can't send you back now." ”

"Why?"

"Because this is Baghdad, the capital of the Southern Empire. ”

Karin froze.

Myris continued, "Above our heads is the military center of the entire empire, and soldiers patrol around every day. Here, not to mention running away, even trying to send a letter out is as difficult as reaching the sky. ”

Karin was a little confused: "But how could we? Why are you ...... here?"

Myris replied, "I have some reasons why I have to stay here for a while. ”

Karin digested the information for a long time, then asked again, "Why can't I use abilities here?"

"The building material here is very special, it is a magnetic ore from the Supuha Mountains, which can inhibit the exertion of any ability, which is one of the methods used by the Southern Empire to deal with xenomorphs. ”

"So, this is the prison?"

"Not exactly. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"You don't need to understand. ”

Myris stood up and said to Karin, "But I have good news, I guess it's Todd's credit, you already have regeneration and constitution enhancement in your body, and your wounds are healing faster, which is a good thing." ”

Karin suddenly asked, "In addition to you and me, there is another person in this room, who is he?"

Myris turned her gaze to the weirdo and opened her mouth to speak.

What Karin couldn't see was that the weirdo was desperately waving at Myris and shaking his head, as if he was afraid of revealing his identity.

Myris sighed heavily: "He...... He's just one of my servants, taking care of your food and daily life...... You can trust him. ”

Karin nodded, not speaking again.
