354 . Return to the heavenly realm
"Am I going to come here to disturb your dreams if it's okay?" Sharplun took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the coffee table and teased: "Young people should be modest, otherwise I'm afraid that at my age..."
Sha Lan's face turned red, and Xiu Zhe also touched his nose a little embarrassed and said, "The Great Elder didn't expect you to make such a joke..."
"It's no joke, okay, let's get down to business." Sharprun coughed twice and continued, "It's been ten days since you returned to the kingdom, so it stands to reason that you should go and see Queen Maya, right?" Do you need the old man to arrest you in person? ”
"Great Elder, Elder Xiu has lived in the Tower of Despair for three years and has not rested for a moment, so I want to rest for a while and then meet Her Majesty, after all, if you go to see Your Majesty, it means that you must go to the Heavenly Realm again, and we have told Your Majesty in advance."
Sharpen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You Nizi is in a hurry first, and you really responded to the human sentence that the girl who married out spilled the water." ”
Seeing that Shalan's face was even more ruddy, Sharplun no longer said anything to tease, looked at Xiu Zhe and said with satisfaction: "It seems that the Tower of Despair has brought you a lot of changes, at least on the surface you no longer look like a child." ”
Xiu Zhe chuckled: "After all, I'm already twenty, so there's no problem with childishness on my face, right?" ”
Sharpen bowed his head lightly and said solemnly: "Actually, I don't want to object to you resting for a while, but just three hours ago, there was another incident in Ghent, and the princess Elejie has been kidnapped by Caller. ”
Xiu Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be calm, but he actually thought that he had heard it wrong for the first time.
"By what means? The power of space? ”
Sharpen shook his head and said, "According to Hesty's report, the Eaton industrial area behind Ghent is occupied by inexplicable creatures and the power supply is not available, and the current leader of Callert, Rantiluth, took the opportunity to break into the imperial capital and kidnap Elje. ”
"Aren't Hesty and the elders in the Imperial Capital?" Xiu Zhe frowned and asked, but soon he realized that he had asked a stupid question, if Hesty and they were in the imperial capital, how could Rantilus take Elijie away?
"You will learn more about the specific situation when you return to the Heavenly Realm." As he spoke, Sharpen stood up and walked towards the door and continued: "There is still so much assistance that the kingdom can provide, and Elder Sharan can't go with you, after all, the trouble now is not only in the heavenly realm, and you don't need to go to see Queen Maya, so let's move quickly." ”
Xiu Zhe nodded to show that he understood, and Sharpen, who had already brought the words, had no reason to stay here any longer and open the door to leave.
"I'm tired of life.." Xiu Zhe put his hands on his knees and stood up while sighing, now that Elejie has been kidnapped by Lantilus, Root must have become a mess, and the situation will be even more severe if the Delos Empire is mixed up with external and internal troubles.
"After all, some people don't allow you to enjoy a pure life." Sha Lan stood up with a smile and gently stroked Xiu Zhe's clothes, and said with a hint of reluctance in her tone: "Okay, let's go." ”
"It's not surprising that anything will happen this time, I'm not with you, you must protect yourself." Xiu Zhe gently stroked Shalan's cheek with his left hand and said softly.
Shalan bowed her head slightly, and she could feel the strong love contained in Xiu Zhe's tone
, which was enough for her.
"You have to be careful, too, it's not just for me." Sha Lan rubbed her cheek slightly against Xiu Zhe's hand like a kitten, and muttered.
Xiu Zhe's eyes were full of pampering: "Don't worry, I will never die until I give you the grandest wedding." ”
This time, Xiu Zhe and Sha Lan can feel it separately, it may take a long time, after all, the Delos Empire has been trying to do something, and the situation in the Heavenly Realm should be resolved as the highest priority.
Retracting his hand, Xiu Zhe gently kissed Sha Lan's forehead, turned to leave the villa, summoned Magadha, and sailed to the royal palace of the Duchy of Belmar, where he arrived at his destination after a few hours of flight.
At this time, Yong Shili, who received the news in advance, had already taken Ajialu to wait for Xiu Zhe at the gate of the palace, Ajialu didn't see Xiu Zhe for a month and a half, and immediately flew directly to Xiu Zhe's arms, rubbing his cheek against Xiu Zhe's chest and coquettishly said: "Master~ Ajialu misses you so much." ”
Yong Shili's small mouth pursed slightly, and she glanced at Xiu Zhe with some dissatisfaction, and stomped on Magadha and urged: "Hurry up!" You pervert! ”
Xiu Zhe coughed embarrassedly twice, and then touched Jialu's head dotingly, and smiled: "Are you hungry?" ”
Ajialu shook her head, Xiu Zhe had already made up for her before going to the Tower of Despair, and she hadn't used her magic to fight these days, so she naturally wouldn't feel 'hungry'.
Xiu Zhe smiled and nodded, grabbed Agalu's waist, jumped on Magada and flew to the west coast, at present, there are teleportation energy pillars in all parts of the Celestial Realm and the Arad Continent, but in the territory of the principality, only the west coast has an energy pillar leading to the Heavenly Realm.
The West Coast is still as lively as ever, and adventurers flying in the sky are everywhere, and there are even many people flying in the sky using celestial technology.
But when they saw the black Magadha glowing with a ghostly light, they all gave way to avoid it, not to mention the adventurers with a little higher strength, even the lowest-level bronze adventurers knew who the owner of this Magadha was.
"Sister Skadi told me that the army of the Dark Elf Kingdom was all arranged in the industrial area of Eton to defend against those humanoids after the arrival of Antun, and now that Elijie has been taken captive by Lantilus, Ghent is completely in a situation of internal and external troubles." Yong Shili sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but feel troubled by the current situation, and she also felt a headache.
"I've heard Sharplun say it, but I don't seem to know what he means by his words, and it's Antoun's men who are usurping Eaton's industrial area." Xiu Zhe held his left hand on the rudder, rubbed the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and continued: "In fact, I can feel that Sharpen is not going to invest in Gent anymore. ”
Yong Shili also smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Sister Skadi also has this meaning, the so-called alliance is established when the other party can help our two countries, and the current Ghent does not seem to have this ability, and the cost and reward required to support it are not equal." ”
"So when I came, I thought for a moment, if I can't save Elijie or before I rescue Elijie, Gent can't gather a force that satisfies me..."
A hint of fierceness flashed in Xiu Zhe's eyes and continued: "I can only use some tricks. ”
The so-called next resort is to borrow from Purmont
to brainwash the people of Ghent and force them to play the role they are supposed to play.
This is the ability that Xiu Zhe excavated in the Tower of Despair and the improvement of the fit with Pu Ermeng, which seems to be very convenient, but in fact there are many flaws and drawbacks. First of all, this ability has little effect on people with strong mental willpower, and can only be carried out imperceptibly in order to brainwash them, and secondly, this kind of control is not very stable, and large-scale brainwashing is required, which consumes a lot of Xiu Zhe himself.
But these are obstacles that can be overcome, but Gent is actually a force with potential, and if it can be supported, it will be far more profitable than if he can use this method.
Although Xiu Zhe didn't say what means he would use, looking at his cold face, Yong Shili also vaguely guessed what Xiu Zhe was going to do, and was silent at the moment without saying anything to dissuade him.
Retracting his thoughts, Xiu Zhe took a deep breath and chuckled, "If I really do this, I must have become a worse villain than Bakar..."
"Didn't you also say that only the living are qualified to distinguish between good and evil, and you will be shaken if you kill 500,000 people of Callert in one go?" Yong Shili lowered her eyelids and said softly.
"After all, I may make a move to send millions of people to death, no matter how cruel and cold people are, there will be some unbearable people..."Xiu Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, what made him feel sad was not that he was ready to use this method, but that he only felt a little sorry for it.
I don't know when the conscience of being a human being and the importance of other lives began to fade gradually, and the way of thinking became only from the perspective of one's own benefit, which automatically excluded other options, and even now, Xiu Zhe is only panicking about what he will become in the end.
"Don't be sentimental, we don't want you to save the suffering of the world in your body, every ghost and god is doing their best to assist you because they don't want to be a chess piece and be treated as a plaything and a chess piece by those inexplicable existences."
Kazan's voice sounded in Xiuzhe's heart, and Purumon also said: "Kazan is right, I told you a long time ago, your path can only lead to the worst evil and evil because of our existence, and you have no choice from the beginning. ”
Xiu Zhe smiled bitterly in his heart: "I don't want to take other paths, I'm just afraid that I will follow Jige's old path, and eventually live up to your expectations and kill people who are important to me." ”
"Jig, that old ghost is not an apostle, how could you follow his old path? What's so good about being human? Gig had always been a human before he became a ghost, what could a human do? Even the power of the ghosts and gods can't exert their power to disgrace us. Carlo said with a grin, his words full of disdain for humans, but he couldn't refute it, because the human body really can't do anything.
Because Kazan was once a human, he could not escape the fate of being framed and banished to the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain to wait for death.
Prunmont watched his beloved being burned to death by fire because he was once a human.
Because Saya and John were once humans, they had to kill each other because of the complex feelings of human beings, and finally buried together, and the accumulation of resentment turned into ghosts.
There are so many examples in front of Xiu Zhe to illustrate how useless and fragile human beings are, and Xiu Zhe is also very clear about these truths, but he is still afraid of abandoning his feelings as a human being.
