The flames in the fireplace continued to burn, and a crackling sound came from it, and the heat released by the fireplace flames made the entire inner hall warm, and it can be said that this warmth greatly relieved the atmosphere between Hugo and Li Du.

Since the first time Hugo met Li Du, there has not been any fixed theme between the two, everything seems to be chatting randomly intentionally or unintentionally, but in fact, there has always been a fixed theme in the hearts of the two, or their respective purposes.

Now Hugo is beginning to show it clearly.

Faced with Hugo's question, Li Du smiled meekly, as if he were facing a childish inquiry from a junior.

"What answer would you like to hear?"

Hugo shook his head and said, "I just want to hear your answers." ”

Li Du said: "I know that things can't go back to the past, so why is there any need to make a senseless answer." The answer I give is bound to be the answer you want to hear. ”

Hugo smiled and said, "How do you know that the answer is what I want to hear?"

Li Du said: "I have been sitting in this position for many years, and the battles I have to face every day are not all completed by mechas, but used here. With that, he pointed to his forehead and continued, "So you think I won't be able to see what you're thinking?"

Hugo nodded and then said: "In that case, let's be open and honest, don't think about any interests and disputes, but simply talk about what is in our hearts." ”

Li Du smiled, "Don't tell me that you came to the Holy Hall to find the truth in me, in that case I will think that you will humiliate me." ”

Hugo shook his head and said, "I don't think so, I think you are one of the few people in this world who can be honest with me. ”

Li Du shook his head and said, "Why?

Hugo said: "Because you are strong enough." ”

Li Du was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, I really didn't expect that I could get your praise, Hua Lian once said that you are a young 'old old-fashioned', but now it seems that you are not a dull person." ”

Hugo said: "I don't understand what Hua Lian's young and old-fashioned people represent, what I said is just the truth. Don't you think so?"

Li Du smiled slightly, then leaned back, and at the same time put one leg on the other, revealing a rather relaxed posture, and then said: "You slept right, in the entire Moon Island, I don't think that any side is as strong as the Holy Temple, even the blasphemer who destroyed Tianying in one fell swoop can't be compared." ”

At this moment, Li Du is no longer the middle-aged man who looks like he asks, but a peerless overlord who exudes infinite pride.

Li Du's personality had long been expected by Hugo, and he knew that no matter how elegant Li Du was, he was an extremely proud and fierce person in his bones, otherwise he would not have become the chief knight who led the Templar.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and then said to Li Du: "Then can you answer my question now?" ”

Li Du nodded, then shook his head and said, "I won't kill you." ”

Hugo was still a little surprised by this answer, but Li Du continued: "My answer is from my heart, not to please you. ”

Hugo nodded the same and said, "So, why?"

Li Du thought for a while and said, "There is no special reason, it just feels unnecessary." ”

There is no need, that's all.

Hearing this, Hugo laughed unconsciously, Li Du's answer really made Hugo not know how to face it, it seems that he is just an insignificant character in Li Du's eyes.

Li Du said: "I have to admit that the reason why Tsukishima has become like this is due to the influence of the blasphemer, but you should also understand that even so, the initiative of the matter is no longer on the blasphemer." ”

Li Du used the word blasphemer, which surprised Hugo, and part of Li Du's attitude can be glimpsed from this simple title.

Li Du said: "The main forces of the Holy Hall, Tianying, the government, the military, and the Moon God Family can be said to be independent, except for the close connection between the government and the military, the rest can be said to be almost on their own. With that, Li Du opened his palm and stretched out to Hugo.

"They never really became a fist. ”

Li Du's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "The power generated when the five fingers are closed and clenched into a fist is definitely not comparable to a simple collection of five finger strength, that is the real destructive power." ”

Hugo could imagine the horror of an unprecedented concentration of power, a high concentration of political, economic, and military aspects, and that Tsukishima would become an unparalleled state apparatus.

But in the end, Li Du shook his head and put down his palm, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this kind of fist-clenching scenario can't be realized even in an extremely utopian environment. The palm of the hand is clenched into a fist because it is controlled by a common thought. But politics can never be controlled by one person, and that is not something that one person can control. ”

Hugo raised an eyebrow and said, "Even in the face of a common and powerful enemy?"

Li Du couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Do you mean the enemy in your mouth?" Hugo silently did not make a statement.

Li Du said: "Okay, then I will answer your question." First of all, the problem of blasphemers is serious, but it is not an unprecedented enemy. Let's put it this way, the desecrator will not make any worse noise than Adolf Hitler, and humanity has survived the Second World War. ”

Hugo frowned when he heard this, he wanted to say something, but before he could organize the language, Li Du asked him: "Do you know that history?"

Hugo nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Li Du smiled and said: "It seems that Hua Lian is right, you are indeed quite full of learning, which is very good, and it saves me a lot of effort." ”

"From the beginning to the end of World War II, the whole process is a history of human political contests, and in my opinion, it is not the generals who command thousands of troops and horses who really make a big impact on this stage, but the oligarchic decision-makers on the political stage. ”

"Rommel's military talent is unmatched, but his understanding of the strategic situation is much worse than Hitler's, so he can win a war, but he can't change the whole situation of the world. ”

"In the years before the start of World War II, there were actually many forces that could have prevented it in advance, Germany's internal politics could have prevented Hitler's dictatorship****, and Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union also had countless opportunities to sanction it, but all opportunities were abandoned without care. ”

"All of them make compromises for their own interests, and in order not to damage their own troops, they can ignore the joint jump, they can ignore the life and death of their allies, and they can invade in collusion with Germany. It wasn't until Hitler's shells were getting louder and louder all over Europe that everyone realized that something was wrong. ”

But even as the French army cowered behind the Maginot Line, Stalin had illusions that Hitler would keep his contract. At that time, the ambitions driven by profit were completely visible in the political arena. ”

And when everyone began to realize the seriousness of the problem and began to formally unite, they still had their own agendas. If all sides could really make a fist, the war would not have lasted that long. But then again, if Hitler hadn't been divided, the Battle of Dunkirk might have had a different outcome, and that war might have had a different outcome. ”

After saying that, Li Du put his hand on his knee and rubbed it gently: "Now do you understand what I mean? All the actors on this stage want to play their roles well, but at the same time, no one wants to quit the stage after a play, everyone has two strong desires to perform in their hearts, if the conditions allow, no one cares about becoming a drama bully." ”

"And if you want to stay on stage for a long time, you don't have to play it well, you have to make your character last. ”

Hugo grinned: "That's why the palm of the hand can't be clenched into a fist." ”

Li Du nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "Then you didn't think that one day the desecrator would clench into a fist?"

Li Du smiled unconsciously when he heard this: "Of course not, in fact, the many forces in Yuedao can't be clenched into fists, and it's impossible for the blasphemers." ”

"If what I know is correct, you don't have a good relationship with a lot of blasphemers. And your friends will never be friends with enemies. ”

Hugo didn't say anything about this, and Li Du didn't need Hugo's affirmative answer, he just smiled: "Look, it's that simple." No matter how powerful the blasphemer is, the essence of his heart has never changed, and human nature is always unpredictable, but there are always rules to follow. ”

Although Hugo still didn't say anything, he didn't agree with Li Du's point of view very much in his heart, but he also had to admit the viciousness of the other party's eyes.

Li Du said: "Besides, the blasphemers are a lonely group. Hitler was not the only one who turned the world upside down, but also Italy, Japan, and other Allied countries. But you know, these countries came together because they shared the same ideology at that time, and more importantly, they all had human blood in their bones. If Hitler had been a Bimon orc or a fire elf, no one would have been his ally. ”

"Although the blasphemers have been transformed by humans, in the eyes of the world, their veins have long ceased to flow with human blood. ”

Li Du raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you understand? That is to say, although this world is big, there will be no force that will become an ally of the desecrate, so the desecrate will always fight alone." ”

Hugo blinked and said, "Then aren't you afraid that the blasphemer will take another extreme path?"

Li Du said: "Forgive me for being stupid, in my opinion, there is no other path for the blasphemer except to perish, even if it is an extreme path. ”

"The biggest failure of the desecrators lies in their numbers, the number of desecrators is actually not small, as far as I know, the desecrators on the entire Moon Island Continent can reach nearly five hundred. Hehe, this number is really not friendly enough, if it can reach 50,000, it can form an army that threatens the world, but unfortunately it is not. ”

"And if there are only five people, it is possible to form a religion by virtue of its ability, and I believe that with the 'miracles' that it has shown, this religion can gain countless followers in a very short period of time, and it is possible to shake even several major religions, but it has not been able to do so. ”

"Although the blasphemers are scarce but not rare, in the eyes of the world, the blasphemers are not a body, but just an alien race, and this race is a threat to the human race, so the only option for both sides is to go to war. ”

"It is true that the blasphemer has power in his hands that cannot be underestimated, but this power is limited after all. ”

"Tianying was destroyed by the blasphemer, but you also know that the real Tianying was not completely destroyed, Qiu Jianlin still has the trump card power in his hands, and this power cannot be erased by the blasphemer. ”

After that, Li Du stopped slapping his knees and said to Hugo: "Do you know how many assassinations of blasphemers I have experienced in recent times?"

Hugo was taken aback when he heard this, he did not expect that anyone in this world would dare to assassinate the Grand Knight of the Templar. However, on second thought, this kind of thing is also very likely to happen, as the information Tarzan gave him before, TAROT is an important part of the execution of his war plan, assassination.

The person who would have taken such a risk to assassinate Li Du must also be a TAROT person.

Li Du stretched out four fingers and said: "There are four times, and two of them are less than two hours apart before and after the assassination, it seems that I am still valuable in the eyes of some people." ”

"These assassinations were all carried out by one person, and it can be seen that he is actually a promiser of great strength, although these assassinations have failed, but they have all escaped, and I don't even know his name. But again, he didn't hurt me a single hair. ”

"I have to admit that the blasphemer has extremely strong strength, but at most he can only be regarded as a martial artist with good strength, and no matter how strong a martial artist is, he will not become absolute after all. The plots that can single-handedly go straight to the head of the enemy generals in the midst of thousands of armies will only appear in movie scenes. ”

Hugo suddenly laughed, and said to Li Du: "As you say so, I1 suddenly found that I now have an advantage that the assassin absolutely did not have, at least there is no army between you and me. ”

The meaning of Hugo's words is obvious, and it is full of naked threats and provocations.

Hugo didn't want to kill Li Du, but he was quite unhappy with Li Du's previous tirade, so he wanted to frustrate his prestige and pride at the moment.
