Chapter 30: The Moth
"So, there is no way to purify the land?"
Simon remembered what Sinclair had said to them earlier. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Of course not, unless the gods themselves intervene."
Hinkley said that there was no way to do it.
"The world has been twisted, full of monsters and madmen. Does survival of the fittest mean that able-bodied human beings are no longer adapted to the world? Maybe in the eyes of those monsters, we so-called normal people are real monsters. ”
After hearing Sinclair's words, Simon frowned and opened his mouth to retort.
"The world has not changed, it is God who has changed, can God represent the whole world? Humans are by no means puppets, and they cannot succumb to the fate of destruction, and humans are the most tenacious race, aren't they? You must know that everything we do is the first, whether it is good or evil, human beings always do the extreme, since there is the extreme of destruction, there must be an end of new life! ”
The sonorous words shattered Hinclair's babble.
"You're different, Simon. You don't look like an ordinary survivor, your presence is too dazzling, illuminating others while burning yourself, maybe you're also a madman, a madman trying to save the world. ”
Simon smiled lightly, his voice indescribably dreamy.
"If that's the case, I'm not crazy enough, please let me be a little more crazy."
Christina was confused by the words of the two, is this the friendship between men?
"When I see you, it's like seeing my past self. But unlike me at that time, you are strong, not about strength, but about your heart. You are strong, stronger than me. ”
Sinclair looked at Simon meaningfully.
"Back to the point, because the area occupied by the Brotherhood of Steel is a remote realm that others don't want to pay attention to, we were able to avoid the attacks of other powerful organizations, but it also laid the foundation for the Brotherhood's decline. At the moment the only way out is to rely on ourselves, and I have another way that I may try. ”
Christina asked hurriedly.
"What's the solution?"
"Keep it secret for now, let's go back and talk about it, this is not a place to stay for long."
What's more, there are still two unconscious people, and if another enemy appears, everyone is afraid that they will be in a dilemma.
"Well, that's right, and while my strength hasn't disappeared, I can escort everyone back to the headquarters alone."
Hincley is a little curious about Simon's current strength.
"You mean your current strength is temporary?"
Simon nodded and said to the two.
"Yes, I'll be back to where I was after a while, so we have to go back as soon as possible."
Neither Sincley nor Christina saw Simon's strength with their own eyes, but since he could kill the vampire elite Neham, his current strength must be above everyone else.
"Then let's go. Christina, you don't have to worry about me, I can go by myself, you and Simon just take care of those two. By the way, Simon, don't forget to see if there is anything left behind after Neham's death, although there is not much hope, but let's go and see. ”
Hearing Sincley say this, Simon remembered, he hadn't looked at his loot yet, and after Neam's death, his entire body was reduced to ashes, leaving only a book, the pitch-black cover inlaid with a miniature skull, the whole book was very soft and comfortable to the touch, but it smelled of blood.
"When he died, he left only this book, perhaps a record of spells, and I was going to go back and see it."
Christina carried Vanessa on her back, while Simon held Aphrodite in her arms and fastened the Skyfire Sword to her back.
"But in that case, Simon, how are you going to fight?"
Faced with Christina's doubts, Simon didn't say a word, and the heavenly fire instantly turned into a shuttle, and began to cruise around his body.
"This is?!"
Unlike Christina's shock, Hinckley's expression was more inquiring.
"This sword is so beautiful, it deserves the name of Heavenly Fire, if it weren't for the bad situation now, I really want to study it carefully."
"There's time when you go back, don't you?"
"Indeed, it will be a long time later."
Sinclair whispered in response, and the crowd began to make their way home.
Before they came, the Brotherhood of Steel had a bright hope for the future, but now when they return, they are only left with a hole in their hearts. And Simon's heart was as empty as his chest before he came, but now it seems to be filled with flames, full of high fighting spirit.
No matter what the dilemma is, there will be a solution, Simon is so convinced.
Along the way, Simon gave full play to the power of the heavenly fire, which can be called devastating, and led everyone back to the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel with a strong crushing attitude. Although Simon's strength has been revealed before, Christina still feels a little trance when she sees it with her own eyes, because the difference between before and after is too big, if it weren't for comforting herself that this is a temporary increase in strength, I'm afraid I would have questioned my years of training. But what they don't know is that Simon's strength is stronger than what he has shown so far, in fact, if he is alone, Simon only needs a moment to run back directly from the air, and that kind of volley can definitely surprise them.
After returning to the headquarters, everyone's expressions relaxed, there are many protective circles here to protect, as long as they are not attacked by the corpse tide like last time, there will be no danger. Hinkley spoke out loud after a few brief words of explanation to the Brotherhood.
"Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock there will be a steel conference, inform all the members of the Brotherhood of Steel, assemble on the basement level, and I will announce important matters. This is about everyone's future and the survival of the Brotherhood, and I hope that everyone must not be absent. ”
Exhausted, the group prepared to go back to their rooms to rest, and before leaving, Sinclair said to Christina.
"In two hours, come to my room, I have something to say to you."
Christina nodded, then braced herself to her tired body and began to arrange the affairs of the Brotherhood.
It can be seen that after returning this time, the atmosphere inside the Brotherhood was a little stiff, as if they felt the impending storm, and everyone was silent and did not say a word.
Simon gave Aphrodite to the Brotherhood to settle in, and after signaling to Christina, he prepared to return to his room. After all, he is an outsider and is not an official member of the Iron Brotherhood, so he is not prepared to get too involved in the internal affairs of the Brotherhood.
But then Christina stopped him.
"Simon, if you want, I can be your guarantor and let you join the Brotherhood of Steel."
Christina bit her lip in front of her, her dry lip was bitten out of blood, and she had to use this way to calm herself down.
"Let me think about it, okay?"
"Okay, give me an answer tomorrow."
Simon watched Christina turn away with a brisk turn, his heart a little complicated.
For Simon, who is alone, joining a local organization is a good option to have a place to live, meet more friends, and expand his network. But Simon knew that the Brotherhood of Steel was on the verge of extinction at this moment, and if it couldn't get out of the predicament, it would just be a train to the end of the road, accelerating towards death.
But Simon returned to his room, and after thinking about it, he was ready to join the Brotherhood of Steel.
He didn't want to use the power of the Brotherhood, he just wanted to do his part to give these poor people a little hope of survival. Vanessa saved his life and was the first friend he met since he came into this world, isn't it natural to do something for his friend?
However, Simon was planning to help the Brotherhood of Steel out of trouble and leave, because it became clear that he wanted to rebuild the Rangers here, or create the Rangers to be precise. He wanted to carry on the spirit of his hometown here, to strive for self-improvement, mutual help and mutual benefit, so that the flag of the Rangers could fly in this equally desperate world.
After a brief dinner brought to his room, Simon realized that it was already night.
"Let's make it clear to Christina tomorrow before they have a meeting, and tell her what I plan to do, and I hope she understands that I am not destined to belong here."
Simon took out the black book that Nerham had left behind, carefully opened it and flipped through it. Simon couldn't help but be surprised that there didn't seem to be any sinister spell traps set up inside, but what gave him a headache was that the language written inside was not ordinary words, but strange words like flowing liquids. It is worth mentioning that Simon has automatically mastered the lingua franca of this world since he woke up, and it is also the language and script that almost all intelligent beings use, but he does not understand any other languages.
Putting down the book, Simon lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
I don't know if Sinclair can help translate it, after all, he is a rune craftsman, so he should be very proficient in various languages and symbols. By the way, and Vanessa and Aphrodi don't know what's going on, so let's go check it out tomorrow.
With this thought in mind, Simon slowly fell asleep.
Christina, who came to Sincla's door, was a little apprehensive, not because she was afraid of being blamed, but because she didn't know what Sincley would say at the steel conference tomorrow. As Hinckley's assistant, she knows what to expect before any meeting, and this one was no exception. Christina felt a little distressed about Sincla, who was responsible for the safety of the Brotherhood of Steel, and although Sincley was old enough to be her grandfather, she still had a crush on Hincla, which was an open secret within the Brotherhood.
But in Christina's adoring eyes, Sinclair was like a real piece of steel, and although she did not directly refuse under her pursuit, there was no response, which made Christina's heart full of grievances. But the more she stayed by Hincla's side, the deeper Christina sank, knowing that she was a moth to a flame, but she couldn't control her feelings.
"President, I'm here."
Christina, who knocked on the door and entered, looked at Sincley and felt that there was something different about Sincley tonight, and she sensitively felt that there was a tenderness in Hincley's expression that was rarely seen in her life.
"I'm afraid you've already guessed that you've been called here for tomorrow's conference."
Sinclair stood up and walked over to Christina.
"Do you remember when I carved a passage on the right shoulder of the Hexagonal Golem?"
If our will is rusty, death will run rampant; May the adversity inspire our determination.
Without waiting for Christina to reply, Hinclair continued to speak to himself.
"Command: Moth."
With Hinckley's words, the bookshelves in the room flipped to reveal a pitch-black passageway.
"Come on, I'll show you our future."
Sincley gave Christina a warm smile. Take her hand and step into the dark passage.
Christina, who was made trembling by Sincley's sudden intimacy, didn't notice that Hinclair's eyes were as cold as ice.
