"Why?" Luo Heng asked.

This sentence has no subject and no object. To the listener, it looks like asking someone else, but it's more like asking yourself.

But even so, Ringu answered as best he could:

"The Crimson Moon is actually a Blood Moon. Although scientists who have embraced the new thinking have seen them as a shield from light, believing that only red light through the clouds forms them. But it's easy for them to overlook one of the most important factors, and that is the power of the world's origins. Whether the old gods or the new machines are just a joke in the Creator's terrible dreams. We, the human beings, can only seek the most suitable way out in the face of the ridiculous rules he specified. Ringu smiled wryly, got up from his seat, and watched the spreading red pictures together.

Looking at the distant flames that kept surging upwards, Luo Heng frowned for a long time before slowly putting the fire gun back on his waist and said, "I had a dream of going to the underworld, where I saw the leader of the six-pointed star shield. ”

"Who?" Lin Gu felt a little surprised, not knowing why Luo Heng wanted to mention this.

"Spiritual void. Luo Heng's words were short and powerful, and he didn't want to choose to hide anything in front of his only ally.

"Lingxu, the No. 0 person of the six-pointed star shield, I have heard of him, and I heard you mention this organization last time. Didn't they want to start a rebellion against you in Nandu? I remember that you killed him with your own hands. Lin Gu asked casually on the surface, but he actually observed Luo Heng's every move.

"Yes, but I saw him in my dreams. You know, it's not just seeing, it's talking to him head-on. And that dream was also very strange, I didn't enter it normally. I, I don't even know how I got in, maybe it was the liquor given by this emperor, maybe it was the loss of consciousness in the psychedelics. Anyway, I saw him, and he said he was from the underworld. Luo Heng covered his face as he spoke, trying to keep himself absolutely awake as much as possible.

"It's an instruction. In the Epibishop, the underworld exists, and of course, in the ancient religion of this empire, the underworld also exists. They all carry out the task of judging prisoners. Did you have a wound on his body when you saw the Spirit Void?" asked Ringu.

"No, he doesn't look any different than usual. Luo Heng recalled.

"That's another possibility. He was accepted by the legendary underworld to serve them. Of course, it seems that he is not here to punish or retaliate against you, but more like to give you some hints. Lin Gu said, looking at Luo Heng like a magic stick.

Naturally, as dark demon source powers, most of them are part-time divination and other duties in this continent. In the first twenty years of Luo Heng's life, he did not do less in order to make a living, until the Lin family obtained the supreme power of the empire.

"He just said one word, and then I went back to reality from there. Luo Heng said, the beads of sweat that continued to ooze from his forehead made his composure seem so pale.

"What?"

"All who have come into contact with the scarlet will die, except me. Luo Heng paused and continued: "Of course, I didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence at that time. Until you mentioned the Crimson Moon. If, according to you, it was the weakest night after the arrival of the dragon clan, then everyone had to die, how can you explain it?" Luo Heng asked rhetorically.

"The meaning of the blood moon is naturally not conducive to the abundance of light's demonic power, so it will prevent the dragon clan from emitting power, and they will enter the most vulnerable moment. But if the dark magic source is more abundant than the light, it may bring disaster. Your dreams are more of a foreshadowing. Of course, no one has ever been to the underworld or anything, and its existence or absence is not worth exploring. This may be a warning from the God of Flame, or more like a prophecy from some god you believe in to save you. Luo Heng analyzed, and sat back at the table, his right hand just resting on a map of the Flame Empire.

"That is the prophecy of death, does it mean that all of us who see the power of the dragon clan will be devoured by the darkness? or will we be swallowed by the power of the dragon?" Luo Heng asked, his thinking seemed a little confused.

"As I said earlier, the power of dragons is very weak, and it will definitely not be the power of dragons that will devour us. Of course, although the power of darkness is ubiquitous and much more abundant than before, it is not enough to cause disaster. There are two interpretations of the phrase 'all have to die'. Luo Heng analyzed.

"How do you explain?" Luo Heng also sat back at the wooden table, like a student listening carefully, listening carefully to Teacher Lin Gu's lecture.

First, the prophecy may not refer to the present, but to the more distant future. But if that's the case, it's scary. I've heard some prophecies from the palace. It seems to have come out after Ye Mingyuan was hypnotized. ”

"Ye Mingyuan, he, what did he say?" Luo Heng leaned his neck forward slightly and asked curiously.

"Endless karmic fire, lost cities, like heavenly punishment from the gods. Ringu recited like an imperial poet.

"This ...... Isn't this ......" Luo Heng guessed with some panic.

"That's right, right now, it's everything you and I have in front of you. In fact, you don't have to think about it to guess the source of that flame ray, the little emperor is in the dragon realm, his country of the Flame Empire, and the emperor is his capital. I am the state, and it is impossible for him to destroy the political center of a country. Based on what you and I have known him in the past three years, he is not a faint monarch like Emperor Shang. Therefore, before he came out, it couldn't have been from the Ground Dragon Realm. Of course, if he came out and saw the scene in the imperial capital, he couldn't figure out what he would do in anger, and he couldn't say anything. Ringu analyzed, looking extremely serious. Qianqian

Careerists must be meticulous in discussing conspiracies, even if they are unimportant details or speculations.

"That's one of the reasons you told me not to be so anxious to execute him. Luo Heng added.

"That's right. Luo Heng looked at Luo Heng, whose forehead was still wet, with a relieved expression, "Well, back to the topic just now." The little emperor with the dual power of flames and dragons is not the initiator of these flames, so there is only one possibility, the Lost City. Of course, we can't guess who started the Heavenly Punishment Flame now, but it must be one of the forces involved in Longqing. Of course, guessing these doesn't help us much. So, the second point......"

Lin Gu coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and continued:

Death does not mean death, just as the word death in the former imperial text means to flee. All have to die, as if referring to our fate, or the fate of this empire. Now that you and I can see the chaos in the imperial capital, I think that even if you are the prime minister, even if you barely control the situation in the empire, the huge and unified Flame Empire will not appear again. In the central square of the imperial capital are the elite of the empire, even if these people are only half dead, the empire's external military power will be weakened by eighty. Of course, in exceptional circumstances, with hard work, there is also some hope. But in short, there is a high probability that you will get your hands on an empire that is falling apart. Perhaps this phrase alludes to the decline of the empire. And there is another sentence in Ye Mingyuan's prophecy, which has attracted my attention. ”

"What?" Luo Heng asked, sighing, as if he were partially accepting the future fate of the empire.

"The frozen wasteland will replace the flames as the dawn of a new era. Luo Heng continued to recite, and then, he actually stood up and waved his right hand completely like a poet.

In normal times, Luo Heng would definitely say that he was crazy, and then leave angrily, but at this moment, fear and doubt are the dominant emotions for him, and he only pays attention to the content, not the form of expressing them.

"That must be the fall of the Empire, that's right. Luo Heng sighed, and then remembered to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After about a few seconds, Luo Heng felt that his somewhat depressed mood had been relieved a little, and only then did he slowly stand up, spread out the map of the Fire Empire on the table, and motioned for Lin Gu to look.

"Brother Lin Gu, look here," Luo Heng pointed to the westernmost side of the map and said, "When Lin Zhao was the prime minister, Anke Mountain in the western border had already rebelled. Of course, the Empire's army had been superior for the past month, besieging him in the city of Shangbang, leaving him breathless from being suppressed. However, after the fall of the Empire's army, this place will definitely no longer belong to the Empire. ”

"That's right, we must only have half of what we can control in the future. Ringu added, looking back at the map.

"You and I can control the imperial capital and the southern capital, as well as most of the Otani Province, but the northern border under the jurisdiction of those rangers of the empire will definitely be out of control, as well as the easternmost Zhaoming, the southwest Plateau Province, and several southern provinces, we don't have the strength to govern them. Perhaps after we have a new emperor, the empire will really exist in name only. After Luo Heng finished analyzing, he clenched his right fist and smashed it towards the map.

"The fall of the empire does not mean the fall of the Lin family and the Luo family. Although I represent part of the Lin family, we can still control more than half of this empire. Think about it, Prime Minister, in front of the little emperor, both the Lin family and your Luo family are chess pieces, and they are chess pieces that cannot resist in any way. Now we are like the pawn who has gone to the bottom, and can become an omnipotent queen in one step. Ringu said, finally revealing the sinister face of a careerist.

Naturally, it is more sinister than Luo Heng.

Knock, knock, knock.

Although most of the Imperial Church was destroyed by the flames, and the bell tower near him was gradually eroded by the flames, at least at this moment, the six successive bells were still striking dullly and powerfully.

In less than an hour, day and night will fall. After that, the Scarlet Moon arrives, and it will be the pinnacle of all confrontation.

"Now we have one more issue to consider. Lin Gu didn't continue to go around in circles, but said bluntly: "If the little emperor doesn't come out of the dragon realm when the scarlet moon comes, we will destroy the dragon altar, but the dragon clan's weak strength will definitely be able to succeed." If he walks out of the altar, we will be the chancellors of the rescue, and we will take the opportunity to control them. Some of the new equipment from the Central Empire that you have purchased, as well as my dark demonic power, will suppress the dragon clan to the death. ”

"It seems that this decision is foolproof. Luo Heng said approvingly, and finally reluctantly showed a smile.

"Now all we have to do is wait. Ringu said, sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

However, the violent explosion from outside the Lin family's base still woke him up, making him a little unhappy.

"Report, report. A soldier in the uniform of the Imperial army shouted, breaking through the door of the top room of the tower.

"What's wrong? Ringu looked a little angry.

"Oh no, someone came in with a body of flames. ”
