Chapter 40 The prince will have a kind of Xiangning
"It seems that the outsiders are getting carried away, aren't they?" Skaha interrupted, and it was only then that Lin Moyang and Green realized that what Adonis was saying now was nothing more than playing with the theocracy of the Shadow Country, and Skaha was already magnanimous if he didn't sentence him to death on the spot.
"No, we didn't mean that, now the problem is imminent, and we all want to solve it. Green hastened to make a round of action, and if he angered Skaha, the consequences would be devastating.
"Lord Green, you're right, but now I want to know how much you're hiding from me, how many secrets are you hiding, if you're just ordinary people who accidentally fell into the Shadow Country, why do you keep sending reinforcements to you, what are you here for?"
"Let's ......" Green glanced at Lin Moyang, he was thinking about how to perfunctory Skaha with a more clever statement, but lying is such a thing, it is good to keep him silent, let Green lie, it is too difficult for him to make up a lie.
"We are the sword of Damocles, subordinate to the Council of the Round Table. Lin Moyang thought for a while, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he actually told all the facts.
Green's face changed, and Skaha's reaction to saying these words was not to be said, but Adonis was still here, and he was a member of the hostile forces.
Lin Moyang nodded to Green, signaling that he knew what he knew, and then he straightened his tone and explained the purpose of the establishment of the Sword of Damocles and the responsibilities they shouldered.
Skaha's face became cloudy, especially when she heard that their duty was to stop the resurrection of myths and hunt gods, and the empress looked as if she was about to bounce off her seat at any moment and plunge her spear into the chests of both of them, but in the end she only sighed, and her face gradually returned to normal.
"Everything I say is true, we did hide it before, but now that I have told you all the truth, it is your right to do with us. Lin Moyang said frankly, he believed that Skaha's character would not be punished for such strange reasons, and that Skaha was a wise ruler, not a tyrant who estimated his face and was about to be indiscriminate.
Sure enough, Skaha waved his hand: "Forget it, I know you are telling the truth, although it sounds uncomfortable, but you did manage to be sincere to me, I can't imagine that the human beings outside have grown to this extent." Skaha's worldview has been shocked, she once thought that the human race in the real world may have developed to a very advanced level, but she didn't expect that the outside world has become like this, the world's organization, and the organized hunting of gods and mythological activities, which greatly exceeds Skaha's worldview.
"Thank you for your understanding, we have a mission, and we didn't know where you stand before, so we didn't tell you the truth, but we don't mean to deceive. Lin Moyang nodded, and a big stone in his heart was also put down, just now his heart was actually full of thinking about if Skaha turned his face, then if they wanted to find a way to escape from here.
"The Sword of Damocles, is that the name of your army of warriors?" repeated the name, Skaha dipped her hand in some mead and wrote the term in Celtic script, an allusion from a Greek tale that was unfamiliar to her.
"We are not a group of warriors, we are a group gathered together, and we are not all warriors in our team, our purpose is to be a vanguard scout of mythological resurgence and anomalous phenomena, and the current situation is something we have not seen, and rashly sending ordinary personnel will only cause casualties, so the Sword of Damocles must be the best of the new generation, so as to avoid a complete reconnaissance and summary of the situation in the case of casualties. Green took over at this time, he was more familiar with this information than Lin Moyang, since he had decided to confess everything, it would be better for him to carry it out.
"It's not a warrior regiment, by the way, you said before, you're a knight?" Skaha nodded, Green did say that he was a knight before, although Skaha didn't know what a knight was, but in some ways, Green was similar to these warriors, and maybe some aspects were more obsessed with the process and the like, such as having to salute before sparring with her, and never turning his back on her when sparring.
"Yes, I am a knight, and according to time, knights also appeared after the Celts, after your time, a great king, Arthur, who formed the Knights of the Round Table and turned the Warrior Order into a more formal order. Green introduced.
"Well, I admit your honesty, and I won't pursue your concealment, and as for this Mr. Druid, although you have used the theocracy of this kingdom as a tool, you have not caused serious consequences, so I will not pursue it. Skaha generously offered forgiveness to the outsiders, which should have been a happy thing, but Adonis shook his head and said, "It is useless, whether you forgive me or not, this kingdom is hopeless." ”
When Lin Moyang heard this, he really wanted to shut the mouth of this broken jar and broken oath, everyone is trying to save your life, don't be here to seek death, okay!
"What strange things are you talking about? Even if Ivor has already obtained most of the divine power, even if we take away most of the divine power of the hive, plus more than half of Ivor on our side, it adds up to the same as Empress Skaha, and the divine power gathered on our side is similar to her, and it may not be impossible to defeat her!" Lin Moyang retorted, at this time, we must save the life of this guy who doesn't want to live!
"Yes, we still have half of the theocracy, which is why we can still sit here and talk, but this Shadow Nation is not as simple as you think...... Ivor is a human inheritor this time, and in terms of inheritance priorities, she is far greater than us, once she stabilizes the divine power, Ivor on this side will gradually disappear, and she will become stronger and stronger...... You and I both know what kind of woman she is, she is a femme fatale who does not hesitate to let her children and his biological father fight each other in order to take revenge on Cúchulainn, she has been tortured by aging for so many years in the country of shadows, her hatred for humans has long been overflowing, she will not spare her hand, she will not have a trace of mercy for us, she will kill us, seize the country of shadows, and then elevate this divine realm to the real world, and then shake the foundation of the entire human world. Adonis buried his head on the table, and in his opinion, it was a mortal situation, but it was not the reason for his sadness, but because Ivor would slowly disappear, and he could not find any way to stop it from happening.
"Indeed, he was right, the Ivor I knew was indeed the one who would do that. Skaha sighed, although Adonis's words were not very respectful, but she could feel the sadness in this human discourse, and she forgave Adonis for the offense, and turned to Green and Lin Moyang: " Indeed, the current situation is not good for us, it is better to do this, now that the Shadow Country is very close to the human world, I will try to send you back to the real world with the divine power that I can control now, and then I will fight Ivor here to the death, if I win, I will keep my promise and block the Shadow Country, and if I lose, the Shadow Country will definitely be led back to the real world by her, please be prepared to deal with it at that time. ”
"No, I'm not leaving. Before Green could consider this proposal, Lin Moyang had already shook his head and refused.
"Why?Moyang? This is not a good proposition, now that the appearance of the Shadow Nation is inevitable, we might as well return to the real world as soon as possible and prepare for war!" "Green was very puzzled by Lin Moyang's decision, and he was very skeptical that Lin Moyang was acting rashly.
"This incident started because of me, and it was my quick mouth that led to such a bad situation, and I know that if we go back to the real world, Adonis will not leave, because he has no motivation to live, but I can't just leave him here, or even His Excellency Skaha. Green, tell me that you will leave the lady on the battlefield and retreat for the sake of victory in the battle?" Lin Moyang shook his head, he glanced sympathetically at the heartbroken Adonis, and then at Green.
Green's blue eyes flashed with a look of hesitation, and Lin Moyang knew that this knight was thinking, "Brother Fenglong taught me that if you need to sacrifice, then please sacrifice yourself first." We are fighting to save humanity, and it would be unfair to sacrifice anyone for that purpose. If the humans we save are the kind of beasts who are willing to sacrifice others for their own goodness, then even if we save them, they are not human anymore. Now I also understand the meaning of what Brother Fenglong said, we are not just to save lives, but to save 'humanity', no matter how our position changes, we can also change the definition of the word human by deception, but you and I both know that concepts do not deceive people. We can't do things that go against human standards in our own hearts. As far as this matter is concerned, I can't throw my mistake to someone else to solve, I will not be able to do it. ”
Lin Moyang didn't know if he understood what he said, to be honest, he didn't know what he was talking about, but just now, he suddenly had a little understanding in his heart about what Fenglong once said, "fighting as a human being", why not fight as a hero, as a saint, as a savior, or even as a god? It is because "human beings" themselves are very important!
Green was stunned for a moment, and then the knight's face also showed a helpless expression of being defeated by Lin Moyang: "Is this the logic of Chinese? Even if the country is destroyed, it must preserve the characteristics of 'Chinese', so that China can be reborn from the ruins again and again...... I heard Dr. Martin Jacques speak and he said that China is not rising, but revival, because China has never fallen. Now I understand, while surviving, it seems that I need to preserve more important things?" Green stood up, he clenched his hand into a fist on his chest, and saluted Lin Mozhong: "Taught, Sueyang!"
"......" Lin Moyang almost didn't cry in his heart, why did these wizards and knights have such good reading comprehension scores, he didn't even figure out what his feelings were, and Green had already summed it up?
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, we won't run away at such a time, since it is us outsiders who have caused the trouble, then I will leave it to us to solve it, and we will never leave the problem in your realm. Green returned to his seat, and the knight solemnly rejected Skaha's offer while nodding to Lin Moyang.
"So, is there any way you can solve this problem?" asked Skaha, she was the ruler of the Shadow Country, and she was very familiar with the Shadow Country, but her systematic knowledge of these aspects of the gods and spirits was not as good as Lin Moyang and the others, so after she confirmed that Lin Moyang and the others would not leave, she was not polite, and immediately turned the topic to the solution to the problem.
"There is a solution, but it is simply not realistic. Adonis raised his head at this time, his eyes were red, but his voice was much more normal, it seemed that he was also eavesdropping on what Lin Moyang said just now.
"You say it first, as for the current unrealistic, we'll talk about it later!" Lin Moyang encouraged, at this time, the only one he could count on was this oath who didn't seem to be very reliable.
"Embrace a new king, the divine right is the most powerful when it is first obtained, and it will not be unusable due to oppression, as long as we can support a new king, so that we can regain the divine power from the hands of Ivor. Adonis said, "Just like the previous Hive Empress, but no one can meet this condition anymore, if you want to obtain the divine power here, you need to have the corresponding inheritance right, this right is only owned by Skaha and Ivor, unless we can transform the divine power of the Shadow Country into another form of divine power like the previous Hive Empress." But we don't have the qualifications and the ability to do so, so this proposal is just a consolation. ”
Not to mention comfort, you are talking here about supporting the new king, aren't you slapping Skaha in the face! Lin Moyang watched Adonis's big mouth go farther and farther on the road to death, and he really didn't know when he would be directly slapped to death by Skaha.
"Is my daughter okay?" said Skaha, instead of being furious, after a moment of thought. She really thought about the idea!
"No, because there is no record of your daughter inheriting the Shadow Kingdom in mythology, at least in mythology Ivor once fought with you for power, which is the origin of her inheritance, and the influence of bloodline is not very important. Adonis shook his head, Green had thought of Ushaha before, but he was rejected before he could bring it up.
"What's this, since that's the case, Green you try, I don't think this has to be qualified. Who knew that Lin Moyang on the side suddenly said with a pure face.
"Ah, why, royal power is not such a simple thing, it must have enough qualifications, you ...... Moyang" Green suddenly remembered something, and even Skaha looked at Lin Moyang with interest.
"Your Excellency, are you a member of the royal family in reality?" Skaha suddenly became interested in Lin Moyang.
"It's not...... Flat-headed little people, why do you ask that?" Lin Moyang was furious by Skaha's eyes.
"Do you remember when I said that you have what it takes to be king?" said Skaha.
"Karma?" Lin Moyang recalled in a circle, as if, it seems, maybe...... Skaha really said it!
"Wait, wait, why me! Do I look like a king?" Lin Moyang pointed at himself, so that others thought that he was chosen to be shot at the execution ground.
"Not really, but you do inherit power in the Shadow Realm. Skaha clapped his hands.
Adonis's eyes also lit up, he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Moyang vigorously, his head was about to reach Lin Moyang's face, and he sighed in surprise: "I didn't find it before, really! You can really assume the power of the Shadow Country!"
"Sueyang, could it be that your ancestors are some Celtic?" Green speculated, touching his chin.
"Don't talk nonsense, are the Chinese with red roots? If you say so, when the human race is still in Africa, everyone is still a family? Don't make such jokes, hey!" Lin Moyang hurried to stop this terrible speculation that could make his mother shoot him to death, and he quickly thought of the reason to explain this unreasonable phenomenon: "To have this qualification, must you have the blood of a king?"
"Bloodline, concept, or you have a relationship with Lord Skaha...... Adonis touched his chin, he saw hope, the man was literally resurrected on the spot, "Your Majesty Skaha remembers if any of your male companions look like this?"
"Your uncle's, don't guess!" Lin Moyang hurriedly stopped this strange topic that had been crooked, but what he didn't expect was that Liliel suddenly opened her mouth to mend the knife at this time: "I seem to know why Moyang can have this qualification......
"Nani?" Lin Moyang didn't expect this guy to have been silent, and he actually ran out to mend the knife at this time?
"Doesn't it mean that concepts can be qualified? I think Sueyang, your qualifications come from concepts. Liliel said with a determined expression.
"What is the concept? I don't remember that I have the concept of fighting for power? That's the standard configuration of Diao Min, right? I'm a good citizen. Lin Moyang swore with his finger to the sky.
"No, I think Chinese have this concept...... I think about it, it seems to be called ......" Liliel suddenly cleared her throat, and in her sweet voice, she said in Chinese, "The prince will be Xiangning?"
