Chapter 216: The Empress's Wish
"This is the heart of the castle."
Semiramis took a few steps back in front of Shen He, and then lay directly on the bed, completely sinking into the soft quilt, she stretched her body lazily, and the beauty of her perfect body in this moment made Shen He's heart beat a little.
It is worthy of the role of the legendary king who easily seduced the king.
Even if he knew that she was a lethal poison, this charm was enough to make men move closer to her one after another.
Shen He bit the tip of his tongue lightly and sobered himself up with a slight tingling.
If he didn't even have such willpower, he would have fallen into the ** brought by the power long ago.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Joan of Arc and I don't really like too lavish accommodations." Shen He looked around, "If the sleeping place is too big, it will also shorten the distance from the person next to the pillow, it is still just right and the most appropriate." ”
"Huh? Think it's too big? ”
Semiramis pretended not to understand the meaning of Shen He's words, she lay on the bed and turned over, looking at Shen He with her head sideways.
"Lone doesn't like too big a dwelling, but what Lone enjoys is purely the taste of wealth."
"It was really enjoyable." Shen He remembered when he was taken away by Tony with a lot of money, and then shook his head lightly, "But after this kind of enjoyment, it often brings a sense of emptiness, okay, I said I was here to talk about business." ”
"Hmm." Semiramis made a sound from his nose, and patted the quilt beside him with his palm, "It's okay to come to bed and talk, Lone will listen carefully." ”
Shen He thought about it, and actually took off his shoes and climbed up, but instead of lying down, he sat cross-legged in front of Semiramis.
"I have thought about it carefully, and I want to develop the Sky Garden into a center of culture, economy, technology, and inheritance of human civilization." Shen He's voice was a little ethereal, as if he was looking forward to the future.
"Of course it's going to be the center." Semiramis played with the tips of his hair with his fingers, "However, Lone prefers to use the term 'God's dwelling' to describe it, master, in this world, the Chaldea can become a myth of this world, and only such a status can be worthy of the identity of master." ”
“......”
This is the first time Shen He has known about Semiramis's ambitions.
But if you ask her directly for reasons.
She would probably say that what she enjoyed was nothing more than the supremacy of the gods.
"When the time comes, the master will be the king of the gods."
Semiramis rolled down again, but rested his head on Shen He's lap, his fingers wearing black gems gently caressing the skin around his waist, and the sweet and seductive voice sounded directly in his ears.
"The followers of the Chaldeans will be your gods, you will receive the service of mortals, you will give them gifts, you will shine the light of the vast universe, and no one will be able to disobey your will, you ...... will touch the pinnacle that no one can match. ”
“...... It turns out ......" Shen He lowered his head and looked at the empress's jewel-like charming pupils, "Is this your wish?" ”
"It's the master's wish."
Semiramis's palm ran down Shen He's arm all the way up, and finally gently stroked his cheek, a drunken flush appeared on his face.
"Lone remembers very clearly, what the master said, grow, move forward, I hope to see what kind of things can be witnessed in this unusual life, and what kind of heights can be reached, and Lone has also promised that the master's wish will be realized by Lone."
“......”
In Shen He's heart, there was a strange emotion.
He found out that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
The empress, who has already enjoyed everything in her lifetime, does not have any real wishes, whether it is power, vanity, luxury or even status, it is not what she really pursues.
She just wanted to put everything she enjoyed, the pinnacle of things she understood in her time, the status of the king of the gods, into Shen He's hands, in order to fulfill the wish that Shen He told her when he summoned her.
Who would have thought that what is hidden in the heart of the "poisonous woman" is the purest expectation of carelessness, conspiracy, and girl's heart.
It's just that......
"Wrong......"
Shen He's face had an expression of distress and helplessness.
"Huh?" Semiramis looked at him puzzled.
"You're mistaken, Semiramis."
Shen He couldn't help but hold her palm, wrapping the slender and boneless touch in his two big hands, and then gently stared at her somewhat overwhelmed eyes.
"I ...... It is people who are born and live in modern times, times are different, for us supremacy, authority without disobedience, the status of king of the gods...... These are not the only pursuits, let alone my wishes. ”
People in modern society, in the case of information bombardment, have long been unable to think unilaterally about things.
Everyone envies the emperor's three palaces and six courts, and they are taken from life and death.
But everyone also knew the emperor's suffering, alone, suspicious, and trembling.
Therefore, not everyone will yearn for the so-called "no one is allowed to rebel" status, and in Shen He's opinion, he even shuddered, where would there be the joy of life.
"But, but......" Semiramis blinked, a little panicked, "this is the highest height that life can reach." ”
When she heard Shen He say that she wanted to keep moving forward and try what kind of height she could reach in this life, she always thought that it was a position above everyone.
And now, Shen He actually said that this is not the case.
"It's a matter of outlook on life and values." Shen He had a slight headache.
But this must be explained clearly today, otherwise maybe the empress will have something cranky in her little head.
"Let's put it this way, aren't there some heroes in your time who have dedicated their lives to protecting civilians? They are not selfless, because they find their own value in this kind of behavior, and for me, the outlook on life that belongs to life is separate from the values that belong to the goal. ”
Shen He tried his best to explain in words that the empress could understand.
Seeing her nod thoughtfully, she continued:
"The life I desired, in fact, was very simple, I enjoyed the affection with the people close to me, Joan of Arc, Violet, the two rituals. Kusuo Saiki...... I want my bond with them to last forever, and to use this bond to make up my whole life, and my values, which are my goals...... I hope to use my power to change the world......"
For Shen He, if there is any goal that belongs to the nature of work, it is undoubtedly to change the world.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will take care of the world.
Shen He can find his own sense of accomplishment by changing the world, and this is the source of motivation for his work.
As Shen He spoke for a long time, he took out his tablet and went online to give various examples.
Semiramis finally came to understand the meaning of Shen He.
And as her understanding deepened, her face became more and more red.
"Semiramis?" Shen He saw that the empress had not reacted for a long time, and couldn't help but scream a few times.
"Lonely, lonely......"
Semiramis blushed, trying to keep her composure like a girl at a loss, but after seeing Shen He's forced smile, she still broke out.
She buried her head in the quilt like an ostrich, hugged the quilt tightly, and whined, as if she would forget the shameful words she had said.
"Hahaha."
Seeing such a contrasting cute face of the empress, Shen He finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
The result of this was that he was kicked a few times by the empress's stockings-wearing feet.
However, this is probably the first time that Shen He has been kicked, and he is very happy.
He really didn't expect that the end result would be like this.
Originally, he came today to learn from Amakusa Shiro to express his firm will not to be moved by other things, so that his purpose overpowered the empress's purpose, and ignored her opinion, anyway, the empress would eat this set.
Who would have thought that everything was just a misunderstanding caused by the gap between the times.
Semiramis pretended to be an ostrich for a long time.
probably found out that Shen He had no intention of leaving at all, and in the end he couldn't pretend anymore, so he got up, still holding the quilt tightly in his arms, and the blush on his face completely dissipated.
"In that case, isn't Lone doing something wrong?" Semiramis bit his lower lip, "Lone has taken the power of the master's subordinates, which will probably make him feel a gap in his heart, and Lone is ready to expel his partner...... The announcement has been delivered. ”
Previously, Semiramis believed that the absolute authority of the Chaldeans and the Shen River should be established first, and that God would not allow mortals to have the same status as himself, but in modern society, win-win cooperation is the fastest way to develop.
"It's also my fault for not explaining it to you." Shen He smiled and comforted, "Everything has just begun, and the impact is not big, Tony has already made it clear, as for Coulson...... It's true that he's no longer fit to manage everything, and I'll find a better position for him, anyway...... Semiramis, one thing I know for sure is that I need your help. ”
“...... Really. ”
After being silent for a while, Semiramis suddenly sighed, then raised his head, and in this moment restored the beautiful and decadent empress.
"Although Lone is accustomed to being served, he is not accustomed to serving others, but ...... Who made you the master? ”
Although it was a helpless tone, the smile on the corner of her mouth had betrayed her.
Empress ...... I felt an experience that I had never experienced before.
"You still need to know more about the planning and development of modern cities." Shen He climbed out of bed and put on his shoes, "The Sky Garden can be said to have the characteristics of all developed cities, it may not become the 'abode of the gods', but it will definitely become the center of the world that everyone yearns for." ”
"Are you leaving?" A soft voice came from behind him.
Shen He's body stiffened.
Because he could feel the smooth stockings reaching into his shirt, gently rubbing against the back of his waist.
"Master......" is slowly moving forward.
Shen He fled in the wilderness.
