Chapter 110: The Ambition of the Councillors
Snow didn't know how to describe his current state, sore, dizzy, as if all the strength of his body had been withdrawn from his body, and this feeling of powerlessness appeared for the first time since his ability awakened.
He barely opened his eyes and found himself lying in the dark space, with a swing of his body, a tense sensation in his wrists, and the sound of dragging iron cables echoed far in the quiet space.
"I'm not dead yet?"
Realizing this, Snow began to slowly prop up the ground with his hands, supporting his almost de-emitted body against the cold wall behind him, and there was a stinging pain from the contact between his palm and the ground, which Snow knew was caused by the abrasion of his skin.
But Snow soon realized that something was wrong, after his ability was awakened, the various functions of his body were greatly strengthened, and this little friction could actually cut through his skin?
Isn't my ability to exist anymore?
Snow suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, from the initial panic and uneasiness after the awakening of his ability, to the habit of being familiar with the ability, he has adapted to having the ability, if the ability to survive all his life is gone, then what else can he do with a crippled body?
"Whew...... ...... exhale" Snow gasped for breath and began to recall the images before he fell unconscious.
Assassins, sneak attacks, rally points, escape from the air territory.
Until the appearance of the councillor, his consciousness fell into darkness......
By the way, it was the Councilor who used the Eye of Darkness to devour his own abilities and make himself lose his ability to resist!
So, did the companions escape smoothly?
Snow was just about to think about something, but a sharp pain came from the depths of his mind, interrupting his train of thought, and Snow couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
"You're awake. ”
In the darkness, a clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Snow could tell almost instantly that it was the voice of the councilor.
The light was blazing, the darkness was dispelled in an instant, Snow endured the stinging pain in his eyes, and after a brief blindness, Snow looked at his surroundings.
He was still in the main hall of the palace, but the difference was that his hands were shackled and tightly locked to the iron frame of the closet next to the wall, and in front of him, there were no less than twelve corpses.
Snow saw a familiar figure among the corpses.
It was a member of the Left Court, but he didn't agree to leave with Snow, they had eaten together before, but now he had fallen to the ground, forever in darkness.
"He died at the hands of the assassin, and I didn't have time to save him. Councillor shrugged his shoulders, "But his death is worth it, and the Eye of Darkness has been repaired for the most part, and he has a part to play in that." ”
Did you not have time to save it, or did you not want to save it at all?
Snow gritted his teeth in anger, but let out a weak breath, now that he couldn't even stand, how could he avenge his dead companion?
"I still haven't killed you until now, Snow. Because it seems to me that you are not the same as those short-sighted guys, you know what it means to be in a situation. The councilor shook his head and sneered: "Compared to the lord of the air crossing who has a large number of troops, I am really not competitive when I am alone, with your ability, even in the air crossing territory, you can also seek a high position, right?"
"Do you still think that I led my companions to the Kongdu Collar just in exchange for my status and salary?" Snow suppressed his anger, "I am thinking about the lives and future of my companions, they can live a better life than they do now, they don't have to worry about death that may happen at any time, and they don't have to worry all day long to avoid the pursuit of the Holy See!"
The councillor sneered twice, "If you choose to follow me, then in the near future, I can also create such a life and future for you, and even with the power of the Dark Eye, we can become true gods." ”
"The Pope has ruled the world for thousands of years in the name of God, but all the people have been deceived by them, they are just a group of gods with powerful troops and good at controlling the people with faith!" The councillor paused and said, "Only we are the ones who can truly convey the will of God to the world, or we can replace God and become new gods!"
"If the demon seeds of the entire continent are united, starting from the conversion of the common people, we can overthrow the dictatorship of the Holy See step by step and create a Protestant Church that is strong enough to oppose the Holy See," the councilor turned his back to Snow, "We can perform miracles anytime and anywhere, with the help of the power of the gods......"
"The Holy See doesn't think so, it's from the gods, and people won't believe you. Snow shook his head.
"Devils and gods, hehe. “
"Don't you understand?" said the councillor in a mocking tone, "only the victor is qualified to say that he is righteous." ”
"The Holy See has persecuted us for almost a thousand years," the councillor said word for word: "The reason why we are exterminated is because we have the power to shake the foundations of the Holy See." ”
"Faith is the root of the Holy See's foothold on the mainland. ”
"I will unite all the demon seeds on the continent to establish a holy land that belongs to us, and return all the pain that humans and the Holy See have given me. The Pope who has it all?" The councillor clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "I want, take his place!"
Snow grew his mouth, he thought that the councillor just wanted to fight against the right court, but he didn't expect his ambition to swell to such a point, although from his point of view, he didn't do anything wrong, but Snow knew that the councilor's behavior was to jump into the fire pit with his companions.
"The Holy See has swept through the Four-Nation Alliance, and the Paladins have defeated dozens of times their number of enemies in a head-to-head battle," Snow said loudly: "The Holy See's means of ruling the continent for thousands of years are not just ethereal beliefs, they have the most powerful army, they can't fight it with the power of the demon seed alone, we need to rely on the help of the human nobles! Rand Capet has the same idea as us, we can cooperate with him and fight together!"
"I've been a slave to the nobility for a long time, but all I get in exchange is betrayal and abandonment, and I don't want to find any more masters for myself. The councillor shook his head, and a cold wind blew in, "This time, I'm going to be the leader of everyone!"
Snow shouted in vain in his heart, it is clear that Rand's thoughts are surprisingly consistent with yours, so why are you looking for another way?
"Two paths, different paths to the same end! If you don't go to the end, how do you know who will win?"
The Councillor seemed to see through Snow's thoughts.
"I won't kill you, I'll keep you alive and watch over me, and that lord of yours, who can reach the highest peak. ”
"Perhaps the day will come when you will fall down before me and call me the new god. ”
