Chapter 80: The General Trend of the Chess Game

Recalling the past, the cold face of the circus director was also somewhat softened.

Having said that, when the truth is not completely laid out, people will stick to their ideas and even attack those who hold the truth, as is the case with Copernicus. ”

"Fortunately, no one can put the priestess at the stake, although TAROT was not organized at that time, and the so-called priestess was just a lone blasphemer, but her strength was undoubtedly very strong. ”

After that, the matter was 'shelved', because at that time the nine places had already appeared, and the blasphemer had to face not the 'philosophical three questions', but how to live. ”

"Maybe you know a little bit about what happened after that, and I won't go into details, all in all, the three major blasphemer families at that time had basically been born, and TAROT at that time had already shown the momentum of the leader, that is, at that time, the priestess announced one thing to the outside world. ”

"It is true that the birth of the desecrator was influenced by the East Island incident, but even the destruction of the East Island has little to do with the leak and explosion. It is logically inexplicable that there is not a single survivor of a nuclear explosion that will not completely destroy a city. ”

Later, however, she recounted an 'illogical' claim that the real cause of the destruction of the East Island was due to a stone inscription called Tritoglaia. ”

Hugo's eyes widened, he really couldn't imagine how the priestess knew the real reason for the whole incident, as a direct participant in the destruction of the East Island, Hugo can be said to be very familiar with the details of this event, but in Hugo's impression, there is no character like the priestess, so how did she get rid of this core secret?

"Although her statement is much more bizarre than the nuclear explosion theory, TAROT at that time had a very high status among the blasphemers, so it also had more power and majesty, although everyone was full of doubts about the priestess's statement, but they did not question her reasons and evidence, so they also accepted this statement half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, and the stone inscription of Tritogramia also existed in our minds." ”

After telling this story, the circus leader looked at the stone inscription not far in front of him and said: "I remember that the clown said that he also mentioned it when Spider defected, and at that time I thought that he was deceived and completely brainwashed by TAROT. I don't want this thing to really exist. ”

"It does exist. Hugo replied in the affirmative.

The circus director nodded slowly, and then said, "Can I take a look?"

"Please. Hugo made a gesture of please.

The circus master carefully picked up the fragment of Tritoglaia's stone inscription and placed it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully, his eyes wandering over the intricate inscriptions, as if trying to find some useful clues in them, but in vain.

Then the circus master squeezed it in his hand with two fingers, and suddenly he was surprised, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Hugo looked at the circus director curiously, and thought to himself, he could also enter the space inside the Tritogramia stone inscription?

After a while, the circus master put the ornament back on the table and said, "It's a little weird. ”

Hugo stared at him, but the circus master did not say what was strange.

The circus master looked at Hugo again and said, "Although this stone is a little strange, I still don't see its value. It doesn't matter whether it's the culprit of the destruction of the East Island or not, I guess it can't bring people back to life. ”

Hugo said: "Although it can't bring people back to life, it can heal people to a certain extent." ”

The circus master raised an eyebrow and motioned for Hugo to continue.

Hugo said: "I want to use it to treat the wounds of the paper kite." ”

This statement surprised the circus master, and he immediately turned his attention to the ornament again.

Hugo said: "I can't guarantee it completely, but I think it's the only way to make the paper kite heal quickly." ”

After a pause, Hugo said: "I know that Yiyi's death is extremely sad for everyone in the circus, but now is not the time to cry sadly. The situation is now worse than we can imagine, war is coming at any moment, and we have too many enemies. Neither the current regime nor the neo-Victorian era has a place for us. ”

Hugo said with a serious expression: "We need combat power, and the paper kite is our indispensable strength." ”

The circus director looked at the emotional Hugo and said, "I didn't mean to blame you. ”

Hugo coughed lightly and said, "It's me who is a little excited..."

The circus master shook his head and said, "No, what you just said is right. It can be said that each of us is a pawn on the chessboard, and it doesn't matter which move the piece takes, but the victory in the chess game. ”

After a pause, the circus leader said: "Even if I am the one who dies today, as long as I can win the chess game, I can sacrifice for this." ”

"Thank you. Hugo thanked him again.

The circus director said: "How sure are you that you can use this thing to cure paper kites?"

Hugo hesitated for a moment and said, "Less than seventy." ”

The circus master laughed.

"Seventy percent, that's enough. As long as there is a hope to be implemented, our time... Not much, really. ”

Hugo nodded solemnly when he heard this.

The circus master suddenly said, "According to what you said, it seems that you know a lot about the stone inscription of Tritoglaia. ”

Hugo pondered for a moment and nodded, although the circus side had become his solid ally, Hugo still did not want to tell him about his connection to the stone inscription of Tritoglaia.

The circus master seemed to see Hugo's thoughts, and he was not reluctant to do so, but smiled lightly: "Knowing yourself and knowing that you are invincible, no matter what, there is finally one of us who knows what is comparable to a priestess, so that I will not be passive all the time, I have had enough of those days." ”

With that, the circus master stood up and said to Hugo, "Take me to see Yiyi." Hugo nodded and got up.

The two of them came to the basement, and under Natsuran's somewhat stunned gaze, Hugo opened a frozen cabin.

Looking at Yiyi's immature face with a bluish and white chill, the circus director's face showed uncontrollable grief.

Gently brushing Yiyi's cold cheeks, the circus director said softly to her: "Little Beanding, don't be afraid, we... I'm going home..."
