For the next few days, Iroh was tormented by the vision.

He seems to really know Iroh, and maybe even what he calls "Iroh's true self".

If he kept telling the words of sowing discord, Iroh would not be moved, because Iroh knew very well that without the Holy See and the royal family of New Cruz, Iroh would starve to death in the streets of the New Cruz royal capital sooner or later.

And in the years that followed his life, it was the old pope who taught him, and he was well aware of the situation in this world. Human beings have just gained a foothold in this world, and if they want to develop, they must stop infighting, coexist peacefully, and cooperate and expand.

But peace is not free. In a peaceful world, if someone is ignorant, there must be someone who has the nobility to educate the ignorant, and if someone is greedy, there must be someone who has the tolerance to tolerate greed. Peace is never about settling all sins on trial, but about settling things in a way that is higher than judgment – which is why the executors of the Holy See are not called judges.

Therefore, the illusion did not tempt Eloh with the selfish desires in his heart, because there were no selfish desires in Eloh's heart.

In order for Iroh to be compliant, he must always mention righteousness in his speech.

On the twelfth day, the vision reappeared in front of Eloh.

"Don't borrow this skin anymore." Iroh stared at the illusion, the other still using the face of Iroh's adoptive father.

The old man looked kind at first glance, and for Iroh, the face had an inexplicable magic.

"Do you think that's right?" Instead of answering Iroh head-on, the illusion asked rhetorically.

Iroh raised his gun, ready to shatter the illusion.

But it was in vain, and the next day, the illusion would still appear on time, and after shattering the illusion, Iroh would fall into an endless state of confusion, and he even felt that he was somewhat dependent on the illusion.

It's not that he agrees with the illusion so much, but that every word of the illusion says that Iroh wants to refute. Refuting illusions as usual made him a habit, and Iroh even looked forward to what the illusions would say the next day, and what new songs they would bring.

"Do you think it's right for New Cruise to take credit for other people's work for generations?"

"I don't care." Iroh said.

"What about His Majesty Anthony and the dragon slayer before him? Does that dragon slayer care? The illusion questioned again.

"This is just your one-sided statement, it's not clear whether it's true or not, I don't think there's any need to discuss it." Iroh said again.

"Okay." A smile crossed the corner of the illusion's mouth, "Then if you don't care, it means that other people don't care?" Does New Cruise mean that the whole world doesn't care? How many warriors in this world competed with Prince Edward to slay dragons, but lost to Edward because of you, a monster that fell from the sky, and you assisted in cheating, and the rest of the people cared or not? ”

“……”

"At least let the real dragon slayer wear the laurel crown, and not let the person who deceives the world ......"

"Edward is not a man who deceives the world, he becomes a dragon slayer and contributes to the stability of the whole world. And the truth has been buried, and the matter will be suppressed for decades. "In the face of dragon slaying and the survival of human civilization, this kind of continuation of life is not worth mentioning at all. I may be sorry for the other contenders, but they must understand that dragon slaying is not an honor to be fought for, that dragons should have dignity of their own, and that their strength should be a threat to all of humanity - if I didn't exist in this world, all soldiers and warriors should be gathered to fight against it. ”

"Oh? You're thinking about the dragons? The illusion asked playfully.

"Realistically, that's exactly what happened. If the dragon is not a threat to humanity, then humans should not try to touch it. "Iroh wasn't joking about the illusion's words, he had faced dragons, so he knew exactly what kind of threat they were to humans.

"If Anthony had this kind of thought, maybe there wouldn't be so much in the future. Although you inherited his martial arts, you did not inherit his head melon seeds, which is not bad. The illusion narrowed his eyes, and then his figure began to blur.

He also seemed to have let go of all his pretense about Iroh, and no longer stole the figure of the previous pope, replaced by a figure in the black fog, wearing a hood and a cloak, and even his own face was obscured by a mask.

At the same time, his voice became muffled, and at first glance it sounded a little hoarse, making it difficult to distinguish between genders.

It was probably Iroh's previous answer that made the illusion a little happy, so he stopped using the illusion to fool Iroh.

"Not really, if I were His Majesty Anthony, I would also get rid of the dragon first, and then the god." "From beginning to end, His Majesty Anthony has made no mistakes, and it has proven that two of the greatest threats to humanity have been eradicated. ”

"And you have to learn from him for his perfidy?" The illusion gritted its teeth, a slight hint of hatred in his tone.

"You're too narrow-minded." "If it were for the sake of human civilization, I would be willing to be buried with all my honor, and I would be willing to die without a place to be buried." I've done this kind of thing. ”

"Paladins are really interesting." The illusion said, walking past Iroh.

In terms of time, this was supposed to be the time when Iroh should have smashed him with one shot to end the conversation, but today Iroh's mood was stable, and the illusion did not say anything that angered him, so the meeting between the two sides ended amicably for the first time.

"By the way, have you ever wondered what would happen if the power of the dragon was used by you, and a whole dragon helped you expand your territory?"

"I'm not going to think about it, it's going to be expensive, and it's not going to happen. Frontier expansion is not based on whimsy," Iroh replied to the illusion without looking back.

"But the opportunity is in front of you, and you can afford the price." The illusion said.

"Tell me about it." Iroh said.

The illusion walked behind Iroh with silent steps, and said in a very soft, hoarse voice, "I want you to kill someone." ”

"I'm not going to kill Edward." Iroh said.

"You've got a flaw, little knight." The apparition let out a horrible grin.

Iroh also knew exactly what the flaws in the illusion were. Iroh says that he can sacrifice for human civilization, but this sacrifice only includes himself and things that have nothing to do with him.

There is always a weakness in his heart, even if he has been educated by the Pope since he was a child, he cannot be absolutely noble.

"Maybe that's why I can't become a pope." Iroh thought to herself.

If there is a conflict of interest between the Holy See and New Cruz, then there is a chance that Arlo will not be able to deal with it rationally, and it may be because of these considerations that the old Pope did not let his most proud adopted son inherit his position.
