94. The sorrow of the earth

Parr said coldly:

"You don't have to quibble. ”

Alec says:

"When I was five years old, my parents sent me to the church for further study, and at the age of eighteen I made a statement in the Holy Church that was scolded by the world as a deviant, which shocked the entire fire bearers of the Holy City, and in the same year I joined the Eastern Crusade Army, joined the army as a military priest, became the commander of the Seventh Army at the age of twenty-nine, became the deputy commander of the Fire Bearer Army at the age of thirty-eight, and became the president at the age of forty-five, until the end of the war at the age of fifty-six.

"We have killed countless monsters that have rioted, but I have never killed an inhuman sapient creature that I have captured during the Crusade, but have given them to the witchers to judge whether the captured inhuman creatures are guilty or not. ”

Parr lowered his eyes, he didn't hate witchers too much.

He knew that witchers were one of the few professions that would treat non-human species as humans, and that this was because a witcher named Hervendelenge had publicly argued for the existence of non-human creatures.

The inhuman sapient race is equal to humans, and it is almost a matter of course among the Witchers, and if he gets a chance to meet the guy named Hevendelenge, he might say thank you for his kind.

Alec continues:

"When I returned to the Holy City, I could have waited a few years to become the new cardinal, but I wanted to get the Church to abandon the old notions of burning heretics, hunting inhuman races, burning at the stake, and the extravagant waste of money by the bishops.

"I thought that the Pope, who was so smart, would support my decision, but I don't know why, he told me to reflect on it and keep me away from the Holy City. ”

Parr grinned and said:

"Since you support us, why don't you help me destroy the Primordial Flame together. ”

Alec refused:

"The Primordial Flame is my home, and despite the wrong choices they made, their intention was still for the safety of humanity.

"A large part of the inhumane sapient species are inherently evil races, but the Church has no interest in distinguishing between good and evil in monsters, and they take the sinless lives among them as necessary sacrifices to ensure that the evil part of it, the harmful part of it, can be destroyed with maximum efficiency.

"It was a choice they made for humanity, a wrong choice, a decision that came from a misunderstanding of humanity about the inhuman race.

"Humans think of them as monsters, not as intelligent races like themselves.

"It's a mistake that can be reversed, I'm going to change them, and if you join forces with me now, we can change that. ”

The bishop stretched out his right hand to the parasite and sincerely invited.

Pal pondered for a moment and asked:

"And what about my fellow hunters, who plunged their blades into the chests of my kind?"

Alec replied:

"They are just coerced and driven by so-called traditions and ideas to do wrong things, and they are not our real enemies, but the real culprits are the ideas themselves and those in power who benefit from spreading them. ”

Alec's voice, though low, was full of strange seduction:

"Let's change the world. ”

Parr smiled with relief:

"I see, thank you for everything you've done for our kind. ”

Alec said happily:

"That ......"

Parr refused:

"But! I didn't come here to change the world.

"I am here for revenge, so that my fellow human beings, who have been burned alive by you, may find a shred of peace and solace in the underworld.

"Our people are now so powerful that no one can threaten them, but the price is too great - nearly all the lives of our kind.

"You are right, this is a choice, the primordial fire chose to kill the innocent inhuman race for the sake of human life, then for my revenge, I can also choose to kill innocent people. ”

Pal smiled sincerely:

"I don't hate you, but I want to thank you, thank you for making me grow.

"If my past self was obsessed with revenge, blinded by hatred, and regarded all members of the Primordial Fire as walking demons.

"Now I have learned that even in the Primordial Flame there are good people, and I have learned that the death of you innocents is a necessary sacrifice in order to achieve my purpose.

"I have grown up to see only revenge, but to be able to incorporate greater things into my eyes, and since sacrificing the sinless Primordial Flame cult is a necessary sacrifice, then other human beings, and even other races, are things that can be sacrificed for my purposes.

"I choose to sacrifice you. ”

Pal bowed like Alec:

"Thank you for making my journey of revenge smoother. ”

With that, Parr had a look like a freshman.

That expression is a calm that clearly understands how dirty and cruel the evil deeds you have committed are, and can accept them calmly and indulge in evil.

Alec knew he couldn't convince Parr anymore.

And he had been procrastinating for so long, but Hewen still hadn't made any moves, so there was no reason for the conversation to continue.

The archbishop asked:

"Why, aren't you going to do it?" Mr. Wright, haven't you made up your mind yet?"

Alec felt no guilt at all about revealing Hervin's identity, and he was happy to watch Herwin and Parr dog-eat-dog.

In his eyes, Hervin was no better than Parr, who could have stopped all this in the first place, but watched Nona be taken captive.

Alec didn't know why Hevin had betrayed his organization, but it wasn't for justice, he must have had his own purpose.

In a sense, what he thinks is very close to reality.

Gary turned his head to look at Hervin, and his little brain had no idea that Alec was lying to him.

His knees were bent, and energy seeped into the muscles of his thighs.

"Bless me. ”

Boom!

Gary jumped with all his might, and the marble bricks of the church instantly cracked outward with the center of the circle where he stood, forming a circle with a diameter of more than ten meters and composed of fragments of stone bricks, and dozens of orange-red sparks were burning in the stone cracks in the center.

This time, Gary didn't spare anything.

He grabbed Herwin directly by the throat, and Hewen was grabbed by him like a rag doll, and was pressed into the wall more than five centimeters in the process of stone shattering and falling.

There were several wounds on Herwen's body, but strangely not a single drop of blood came out.

Gary says:

"Traitor, today is your end, and if you dare to live up to Lord Tyr, you will be torn apart by me, what kind of face does a despicable villain like you have to survive in this world. ”

Hewen coughed lightly:

"Didn't you think Alec lied to you?"

Gary was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Did he lie to me?"

Hervin smiled and said:

"He's not, but someone has lied to you, and that's Tyr. ”

Gary's face changed, and he raised his hand angrily, and punched Herwin in the head again, and the surrounding stone and sand were knocked away by the strong shock wave, and the brown smoke and dust spread to the surroundings.

By the time Gary listened, Hevin's head was no longer visible, his entire head sunk deep into the wall, and his body hung limply outside.

Gary says:

"It turns out that you are nothing more than that, I thought that after you got the reward of the adults, you could at least struggle, it seems that the weak are weak after all. ”

Just as Gary was about to turn his head to face Alec, Hervin's "corpse" held up a finger, as if telling him to wait.

Bang!

A dull voice came from his body hanging from the wall, and since the sound was so muffled that Gary even wondered if he had really heard something.

Then he seemed to hear something very clearly, and there seemed to be a sharp and helpless wail from beneath the earth, above the abyss, in the crust beneath their feet.

This is the groan of the earth.

Then it dawned on him that it was a heartbeat.
