Volume 1 First Acquaintance Chapter 53 Walking the Road I Haven't Taken
Even though it was past midnight, the people standing at the door of the dormitory waiting to experience the glory of the machine god up close were still in sight.
They crowded the trails, but there was no pushing.
From time to time, whispers rang outβthe students who came first excitedly told the students who came later about the spatial teleportation ability that the machine god had just displayed, and then let out an exclamation together.
Space and time are two of the most elusive realms.
It is also two of the most powerful areas.
Listening to those discussions, Kanter smiled, and said to Shi Xie and Ed beside him, "Let's go, don't wait." β
Ed was a little puzzled, and said, "Isn't it to let the professor see the sincerity of the academy......? Sincerity is not enough. β
Kanter laughed, "It's no longer a matter of sincerity to keep the god of arms. β
After a pause, he added, "It's the young man from China." β
......
......
Back in the principal's office, Kanter snapped his fingers, the robot swayed in to make tea, and Shi Xie and Ed sat down consciously.
"Ask, I think you should need an answer from an old man. β
Shi Xie glanced at Ed and saw that Ed was also looking at him.
"One person asks?"
Ed nodded and asked, "Why did Professor Nirvana choose this time to come back?"
Kante raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, every year since Professor Nirvana chose to leave, the academy has sent someone to ask him back, and he has ignored him...... Rumor has it that he is tired of endless research and fighting, and why would he choose to come back now...... Don't talk about licking calves, it's fake. β
Kante smiled indifferently and said, "I don't know either. β
After a pause, he said again: "But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Han Qian chose to come back, Kulizar is a very beautiful place, he will fall in love with this place again." β
What is Beauty?
For those in the Divine Order, violence is beauty.
He looked at Shi Xie again and said, "It's your turn." β
Shi Xie frowned, thinking about how to speak.
After a few moments, he decided to get straight to the point.
"About half a month ago, the Earth Spirit Temple's nirvana list was updated once...... According to my information, this update was personally ordered by you to have Akatomi carry out......"
As he spoke, the robot entered the office with the brewed tea, and Kanter looked at the steaming pot of tea leaves and pouted without a trace.
And this update ...... Erased a person's name......"
Kanter poured the tea, savored it, and said, "Yes, I killed him." β
Kill whom?
Of course, it's Ichimaru Anko.
So his aftertaste can also be tasted with a lot of meaning.
It doesn't have to be tea.
Shi Xie asked with some surprise, "How did you do it?"
Kanter put away his smile, took a sip of tea, and recounted the events of that night, how he killed the griffin with one sword, how he fought hard with Ichimaru, how he was unexpectedly controlled by Ichimaru, and then relied on the power of the red pupil to turn the tables.
Kanter's tone was calm, but both Shi Xie and Ed could hear the danger in the story.
With the strength of the old man, it was not surprising that the eighth-order griffin was instantly killed by him.
But the next Ichimaru is a ruthless character.
He was the most gifted young man the Earth Spirit Temple had ever had since its inception, and the most terrifying traitor.
If you're not careful, Kanter could well have died in that cave.
Ed applauded, somewhat impressed by the old man's fighting power.
"Seventy years of hatred have finally come to an end. β
"Yes, I don't need to keep him in my heart anymore. β
Shi Xie was silent, he knew the life of this old man over the years.
But he didn't know the old man's state of mind.
Kante was trapped on that bloody night for 70 years, experiencing that pain every night.
As if he had tasted the guts, he cut out the final battle scene, and from then on he was the only one who could see the details of that bloody night.
Everyone else can only see the results of the bloody night.
"Actually, my extremism has been influencing the direction of the Earth Spirit Temple, but fortunately, the Earth Spirit Hall will not condemn me for this. Kante said suddenly.
"Of course not, you are the spiritual leader of the Earth Spirit Temple!" Shi Xie said.
"Wasn't Zou Ji also the leader of the Qi State back then? β
Shi Xie didn't know much about ancient history, so he had to be silent.
"Fortunately, I finally completed self-redemption, for a long time, the Earth Spirit Temple has regarded Ichimaru Yasuku as the number one enemy, and generations of young people have searched the world for the footprints of that bastard for revenge, and the spirit passed on to the next generation after searching for no result is the same revenge, this spirit is too boring. β
Boredom often means boredom, but the ancestors of the Earth Spirit Temple would never think that revenge was a boring thing.
Traitors should be put to death.
Shi Xie didn't say these words, he didn't want to refute the old man at this time.
"The Earth Spirit Hall will always take a different path, you are the first hall master after Edward, I hope you can lead the Earth Spirit Hall to another glory. β
Shi Xie nodded, he knew about this kind of thing as early as when he sat at the top of the Vermilion Bird Palace.
A qualified leader should never think about inheritance.
It's about carrying forward.
This was Han Qian's slogan when he first ran for the Lord of the Earth Spirit Temple.
Although Han Qian failed to become the hall master of the Earth Spirit Hall in the end, his words were still passed down and were regarded as classics by the new generation of the Earth Spirit Palace.
Ed listened to the communication between the two elders and seniors of the Earth Spirit Temple, and sat there boredly teasing the robot that had not yet left.
Then he heard Shi Xie say a word.
"You...... Do you really think Ichimaru is dead?"
He turned his head and looked at Shi Xie in surprise.
The young man from China sat upright on the sofa, the second-ranked sword in front of his knees, and the arc of lightning seemed to be in his dark pupils!
Kanter closed his eyes, frowned, and then released in a moment, his tone relaxed, "What a stubborn boy, I'm telling you this just to not want you to follow my old path!
Then he concluded, "Didn't you die?
......
......
Han Qian stood on the balcony with the endless sky above him and the cheering students below.
He smiled mockingly, and spoke in a mocking tone.
"Ridiculous. β
Han Feiyu followed behind his father and asked, "What's ridiculous?"
Han Qian didn't look back, he still looked at the excited students, and said, "As the future of the Divine Society, I am excited about the past of the Divine Society, and my joy is beyond words...... The main thing is that they have only heard of me and have not even touched me, isn't it ridiculous?"
Han Feiyu wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
If the subject is a very self-conscious father, he will express his thoughts and opinions.
But he was facing a god of machines with nothing in his eyes.
The man whose wisdom alone surpassed the blood of the highest combat power of the Divine Society.
He was speechless, and in addition to the despair that was too far apart, there was also a vague anger.
He was not an irritable person before coming to the Collizal Academy...... Or before meeting Zhurong.
"You stand on the bridge and look at the view, and the people watching the view stand upstairs looking at you...... I'm the one who sees the scenery, both under the bridge and upstairs, and in the end, it's just a show. β
Han Feiyu was a little puzzled by the meaning of this sentence.
"Don't understand?"
Han Feiyu nodded.
"Then be stupid. β
Han Qian returned to the bedroom, closed the balcony door, and closed the curtains.
"It's just too noisy and uncomfortable. β
The dormitory was on the sixth floor, and although many people below were cheering for seeing the true face of the machine god, the noise that reached the upper floor was not too loud.
"Is there one?"
"Yes. β
"Oh. Han Feiyu was silent again.
Han Qian frowned and flipped through Han Feiyu's messy desk.
"What are you doing here, do you want to import the program for Red Hitomi to organize the desktop?"
Han Feiyu said angrily: "Anyway, they are all children that no one wants, why are they so good-looking?"
Han Qian was stunned, and heard the dissatisfaction in Han Feiyu's tone.
He slapped Han Feiyu on the back of the head and scolded, "Little rabbit cub!"
Han Feiyu hugged his head, a little painful.
"Blame me for such an irresponsible father?"
Han Qian ignored Han Feiyu's complaints and began to help Han Feiyu tidy up his desk.
It's good to throw the snack bag on the ground, anyway, the bedroom has an automatic cleaning function.
Books can't be put casually, Han Qian's attitude towards books has always been rigorous, and he put them neatly one by one against the wall of the table.
His gaze froze suddenly, and he stared at a book motionless.
A Rough Explanation of the Blending of Mechanics and Spiritual Powers
"This book...... Old man Ivan gave it to you?"
Han Feiyu nodded and replied, "Hmm." β
Han Qian's eyes flashed when he got the answer, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he asked after a moment.
"The Earth Spirit Temple has existed since the establishment of the Divine Society, and the Student Council is an organization that emerged after 1700, what are you going to choose?"
Han Feiyu suddenly felt a gaze shoot on his back, and his heart was as disgusting as a worm drill.
He wanted to look back, and then he heard Han Qian's question.
There are some doubts.
"Why should I choose? Isn't it good to be an ordinary student quietly?"
"You have to choose, it's up to you. β
Han Feiyu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll choose the Earth Spirit Palace." β
Han Qian raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
Han Feiyu said honestly: "Because Shi Xie is Chinese, it is easier to get along." β
Han Qian smiled and said, "Isn't Tang Rou also a Chinese? β
Then he looked directly into Han Feiyu's eyes and said, "Elect the student union." β
"Why?"
"Because the Earth Spirit Temple is very boring, an organization with the purpose of revenge will not do anything. β
"Revenge?" Han Feiyu was taken aback.
Han Qian took the book and flipped through it casually, asking, "Do you think the most powerful organization of the Divine Society will not take revenge after going through that kind of thing?"
Only then did Han Feiyu remember that the protagonist of the bloody night was not so much Ichimaru Angu as the Earth Spirit Palace.
He felt sick when he thought about that night of blood and sin.
"Will the students take revenge on Ichimaru Yasuko?"
Han Qian said lightly: "If you encounter it, if you kill it, if you don't meet it, it doesn't matter to yourself, will the students use this as their purpose." β
When you encounter it, you have to kill it, and it really doesn't matter.
"Why is it none of my business? Isn't Ichimaru Angu a ghost? It's really okay to let it develop?"
Han Qian put the book away, rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and said mockingly: "The hatred of the Earth Spirit Hall does not need to be intervened by others, that group of wastes did not inherit the strong strength of their ancestors, but they insisted on that stupid pride well. β
In a few words, Han Qian denied the belief in revenge that the Earth Spirit Hall had insisted on for a long time.
Han Feiyu had done a lot of homework in private in order to join the Earth Spirit Palace, and he was a little unhappy when he heard his father's words.
There must be a reason for an organization to exist for thousands of years, the survival of the fittest and the elimination of the unfit, and the prosperity of the hundred schools of thought is not only a few three or two sects?
"I don't think the Earth Spirit Temple is as unbearable as you say, and if you have to kill that Japanese, maybe it's not revenge......"
"Oh, tell me, what is not revenge?"
"It's execution, Dad, if the two parties are not related, you kill my whole family and destroy me, forcing me to wander the world to survive, and then kill you when I return from my studies, this is revenge. And for a traitor who defected from the organization, if I carried a knife to the ends of the earth and finally beheaded him, it can only be called execution. β
Han Qian was stunned, and then smiled, smiling a little proudly.
"Even if what you say makes sense, I don't want you to join the Earth Spirit Temple?"
Han Feiyu snorted, his dissatisfaction overflowing.
"Don't you even give me the right to choose freely?"
Han Qian rolled his eyes, he had never made this expression in the past few decades, which made Han Feiyu a little surprised.
"There are many reasons why you are not allowed to choose the Earth Spirit Temple, but the most important one is the most important. Han Qian paused: "I want you to take a different path." β
