Watching Rommel's back fade away until it melted into the hazy night, Richard let out a sigh of relief.

He sat down on a stone on a small dirt slope with a serious expression.

He was thinking, he was seriously thinking about Rommel's proposal.

It must be admitted that Rommel showed the greatest sincerity in "surrendering" him, and the conditions for "surrendering" were indeed tempting.

Rommel showed up to say that he was deeply touched by the experience of killing the Golden Ring of the Truth Society.

After all, all he had done to the Truth Society was to destroy the East Coast branch - twice, the Silver Ring Steward - two, and some Iron Ring members - hundreds.

He may have won in quantity, but Rommel was a cut above him in quality—the other party had killed the Golden Ring—and as far as he knew, the Golden Ring was scarce in the entire Society of Truth, and there were no more than twenty in the sky. Excluding those sent to remote places such as the depths of the sea to guard them, the number left on the mainland can be counted.

Of course, this is not a competition, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, what matters is the attitude given by Rommel: as long as you are willing to join, you can not blame the past. As long as you take refuge sincerely, you can make up for it.

In this respect, if the Truth Society is willing to give him the opportunity to play, he can guarantee that it will bring more than ten East Coast branches to the Truth Society.

And with the full support of the Truth Society, he can no longer be sneaky, and can conduct all kinds of research in the open, and figure out some doubts more efficiently and quickly. It is even possible that many doubts are answered directly by the so-called true God without having to explore them.

To put it simply, if he joins the Truth Society, he can play the role of one plus one about two, and it will be a win-win result.

Rommel was right, the Truth Society was a great organization, and its core members were more qualified than elsewhere, and they were excellent collaborators, assistants, and ...... Test subject.

If you know that the members of the Truth Society can be resurrected, then some dangerous experiments do not need to take time to move forward step by step.

Do you still need to do experiments on mice, on dogs?

There is no need to be so troublesome at all, just fool a few "volunteers" and directly conduct human trials.

All in all, the Society of Truth can provide the environment, resources, technology, personnel, and other support that the rest of the world simply cannot provide.

And the price of all this is simply to be baptized in the light and believe in the true God.

For a moment, he really felt a little excited.

But it was only for a moment, and after the time had passed, he calmed down, and he shook his head silently in his heart.

Believe in the true God and be baptized in the light?

To be honest, in fact, these superficial things are acceptable to him, and he can completely communicate with the truth.

But there was one thing he couldn't bear at all.

That is, the so-called loyalty brand is engraved on his soul, so that he never has the ability to resist and question.

All along, what he has pursued is the truth of the world. To this end, in a scientific way, we have been exploring step by step from scratch.

Perhaps the so-called true God, as Rommel said, represents the absolute truth, which can take him on a shortcut, and he can lead to success without continuing to work hard.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The problem is that even then, he has to have the ability to say "bad" and question.

In the world, if there really is truth, then it should be allowed to be questioned - it is not allowed to be questioned, there is no falsifiability, then it cannot be said to be truth, but superstition.

From ancient times to the present, all the things that human beings take for granted have changed many times.

From the center of the earth to the heliocentr.

From the four elements of earth, water, air, and fire in the world, to the three laws of classical mechanics, and then to the theory of relativity.

Only when one is allowed to question can truth come to terms as it really is.

Only when we are allowed to question the strangeness of the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the solar system, and only when we are allowed to question the existence of such irrational things as "eccentric circles" and "rotating circles", can we derive Kepler's laws and figure out the appearance of the universe.

The truth is not afraid of being questioned, it is not afraid of debate – the more it is debated, the more it is true.

On the contrary, it is the pseudo-science and false truth under the premise of superstition that are afraid of being questioned and are not allowed to be questioned.

If the true God can allow questioning, it doesn't matter if He believes in the other person.

But the true God does not allow to be questioned, and he still believes in the other party, which is equivalent to completely destroying the principles he has always adhered to—science has become superstition, doubt has become fanaticism, and the pursuit of truth has become the satisfaction of lies.

He will no longer be him.

He will cease to be him completely.

Maybe he still retains almost all of his memories, maybe as Rommel said, with only a slight change in personality, but that's only the equivalent of a copy of him—a copy that is ninety-nine percent similar—and the one percent less is his most core soul.

So do you still have to choose?

Refusal, of course.

It was impossible for him to be baptized in the light and believe in the true God.

So......

In the darkness of the night, Richard got up from the stone, took a long breath, exhaled it slowly, and turned to walk towards his dwelling.

......

The other side.

Rommel walked back to his abode.

This is a very remote stone building in a corner of Pompeii, and compared to the rest of the stone buildings, it does not appear tall, but is even lower, only two stories high.

Because a large part of the building was buried deep underground, and the walls were specially reinforced, on the one hand, to isolate the detection of spells, to give Rommel a hidden resting area, and on the other hand, to prevent the aftermath of spells from spreading to the outside when Rommel occasionally tested spells in his residence, which had happened before.

So, Rommel's dwelling looks a bit like a bunker.

Rommel walked to the vicinity of the "bunker" at this point, and saw Inova standing in front of the door.

When Inovakova saw Rommel returning, she quickly greeted, "Director, are you back?"

"Hmm. Rommel replied and asked, "Is there something?"

"Yes. Inuokova nodded, "I'd like to ask you how to deal with some of the next situations, such as how to place Inspector Chekaf, what attitude should be on Wizard Richard's side, and whether the construction of the new energy system should continue?"

Rommel thought for a few seconds and gave the answers one by one: "The construction of the new energy system, let's stop first." After all, the whole project is still relatively large, and there is no hurry in the next day or two.

Chekav, on the other hand, arranged him like an ordinary steward, and tried to meet him as much as possible if he had any requirements. If he has a problem or a dissatisfaction, you can let me know.

As for Richard the Wizard...... For now, he is still an excellent member of our organization, allowing him to move freely, as long as he does not leave Pompey. As long as he gives me a satisfactory answer within three days, he will not only continue to be an excellent member of our organization, will remove Chekav's doubts, but will also be my public successor. ”

Speaking of this, Rommel paused and said to Inogova: "From now on, I will stay in the residence all the time, and there is nothing urgent to do, so don't come and disturb me." I will wait for Wizard Richard to give me a satisfactory answer, and then Pompey will be a new beginning. ”

"So be it. Rommel finally said, pushing the door open and entering the dwelling, slamming it shut.

Inuokova looked at the closed door for a long time, said nothing, and turned to leave.
