Section 599: Judgment (3)
Well played.
This is Marin's compliment to his heir, this child seems to have completed the absorption and utilization of the legendary nano enhancer of the Pretender, if it weren't for Marin's ability to directly observe everyone's soul fluctuations, even he wouldn't be able to see through what the little leopard girl in red shoes was.
At the same time, there is some melancholy - how can such a lovely girl be such a guy Mars? But this girl is really cute when she fights, but it's a pity that it's her own little cub who becomes.
Thinking of this, Marin took a step back, let go of the short sword that came from the horizontal slash, and at the same time noticed the double blood groove on the short sword - this is the standard weapon of the Eastern Human Kingdom, I didn't expect that these guys are still using them now, are these Eastern Yankees so poor for two thousand years?
With this exclamation, Marlin continued to take a step back, reached out and caught the flying bullet with his index finger and thumb, and then sent it back the way it came, and the bullet smashed into the gunman's head, knocking the sneaker to the ground, revealing long flaxen hair and round cat ears full of white fluff, and a little like a Mayan girl.
As for the bullet, it bounced off and knocked another dwarf into the shadows, who was holding his face and had teeth flying out when he shook his head.
This girl...... It's my heir.
Don't play anymore.
Thinking of this, Marin slapped the halfling who jumped over and wanted to assassinate him with his Hidden Blade on the wall, looking at the small Assassin Order insignia on their chests, Marin looked up: "Mars! Get the hell out of here! β
In less than ten seconds, the little leopard girl in red shoes walked down the bell tower, she looked at Marin with an innocent face: "You know me?" β
This answer was not expected by Marin, he still nodded: "That's right, I know you, I've known you since you were six years old." β
The first time this little bastard was hunted down and killed was at this age, so when Marin said this, Mars's face changed, and he scratched his head: "What you said ......" "You should remember the events of that night, but when you find that the guy who is chasing you has disappeared, don't you feel surprised." β
Marin said as he turned his head to look at the halfling who was still about to assassinate him, who was pinned to Marin's side by psionic energy, and the Hidden Blade in his hand was only a few centimeters from Marin's head.
"Which brotherhood are you?" Marin's question made the elf's eyes widen with the short sword: "Who are you, how do you know the ancient elven language." β
"Old Elves, what's that?" The big guy in the alley asked his little buddy.
The latter gave him a blank look and seemed to say? Oh? My dear old friend, your status as a giant hybrid has taken a terrible toll on your IQ.
And Marlin noticed the confusion and confusion on Mars's face? The latter looked at Marin: "How do you know these things. β
"Because fate made me see you that day? Child, don't you talk about things between you and me? I wonder what's going on between you and why the fraternities are fighting each other. "Speaking of which? Marlin made a gesture on his own chestβa premise he made for the Brotherhood in the book.
"Are they lackeys of false gods? Even after two thousand years, I still believe in the so-called gods that have long since passed. The elven girl was the first to kneel in front of Marin: "Greetings to you, Your Excellency the Great Teacher. β
"Four leaves, he definitely can't be a great mentor? It is impossible for any great guru to be as young as him? He must be a monster who has broken through the barrier of the crystal wall! The halfling roared.
"You faithless fool, you can suppress you so much, you can catch bullets with your bare hands, you dare to say that he is a fake, where do you get the courage." The halfling with the big man sneered.
"Damn? He's a monster that jumped out of nowhere. The dwarf, whose forehead had been broken by a ricochet, covered his head and sat up: "Enough, little Dot?" We're no match for him at all, and he'll even be able to talk to us while you're being suppressed? Little Ella, are you alright? β
He looked at the leopard girl? This made Marlin know the name of this stupid girl? Out of love for your offspring? As soon as he reached out, the silly girl who was loading behind her screamed and was dragged towards Marlin by the revolver in her hand.
Everyone watched as the stupid leopard was dragged all the way to Marin.
Mars slapped his forehead, and the big man and halfling smiled helplessly.
The old dwarf sighed: "Little Dot, what are you waiting for, waiting for this legendary Excellency to lose patience. β
The halfling, who was still struggling to move forward, eventually retreated, only to realize that he could actually move, a discovery that eventually made him step aside: "Hats off to your staircase, Your Excellency Legend." β
"Tell me what your brotherhood is all about, and why you're fighting each other."
As soon as Marin raised his hand, the masonry under his feet turned into a chair, and he sat down and looked at the old dwarf: "Who is the elder, you or the elf." β
"Of course it's me, Your Excellency, I've lived for almost two hundred years, and although I've only been a nowhere to go, I've lived at least longer than this elf silly girl, and your question starts more than 1,700 years ago."
So Marin listened.
In the memories of this old gnome, Marin heard for the first time the story after the last Demagogue in its entirety, in that era, the gods and chaos suddenly disappeared, the churches eventually split, most of the sects established the Knights Templar, but some sects joined the Brotherhood, because everything needs to be balanced, if the gods are not visible for a long time, the church will eventually split, if the churches are all in the Templar Order, maybe there will be a terrible scene.
Marin is sure of thisβwhen the true God that restricts human nature is not revealed, all kinds of hypocrisy and hypocrisy will appear, and these sects that join the Brotherhood will ...... I have a heart.
But Marin would never believe the family's words, so he looked at the halfling with a slightly swollen face: "Since they are sects that have joined the Brotherhood, why do you have to fight each other with blades." β
"That's because three hundred years have passed, and there has been a rift between the Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, and we have watched those hypocritical sects establish their false beliefs, the gods have not appeared for six hundred years, and the Knights Templar have long since transformed from an organization that saves people to an ambitious freak, and while they are establishing a new false religion of all the gods, they stretch out their hands to the mortal world, and the western human world has been devastated by this, and the most tragic time, Only the glorious union of Sidney and Farol remained committed to the non-use of slavery and the False Cult of the Gods and Goddesses, and for the next four hundred years, our Brotherhood and the Knights Templar fought each other, just as the two mortal groups fought seven world wars in four hundred years. β
"Then, someone must have stepped forward, right, or you wouldn't have protected the Templar member they were about to kill." Marlin didn't mind if the kids knew he had just eavesdropped.
"Yes, Your Excellency, after four hundred years of war with the Knights Templar, after which the mortals grew tired of all this, their kings, tribunes and protectors began to break away from the Templars, and we and the Knights Templar decided not to involve mortals in the war anymore, so there were no more battles in the city, but in secret, the war between us continued until six hundred years ago, when the Great Grand Master and the most enlightened Patriarch of the Templars concluded a peace treaty, All false god beliefs were outlawed, and it took two hundred years for the Knights Templar to complete the internal purge...... And we...... Out of the Order of the Ancients such a freak. β
The halfling was snorted by the old dwarf at this, and then he looked at Marin: "Your Excellency, the Brotherhood branch from their sect has reconciled with the Templar Order, but we must not forget the suffering caused by the Templar Order, the average life expectancy in our eastern region was only thirty-nine years in the era of their rule, Your Excellency, do you know what a terrible monster those innocent people who died tragically day and night, and their family blood was cut off because of this, Who but those of us who are so-called rebels who have sworn to the ancient covenant remember that we only kept our oaths to kill all the Templars in the world. β
Speaking of this, the dwarf sighed: "Your Excellency, will you understand us?" β
"Of course I understand you, if you say that you can clear up the wrong things that your elders have done, and then kill some dissidents to be able to dress yourself up as a lost child, then what do you need justice and justice?" Speaking of this, Marin turned his head to look at the combination of the big man and the halfling: "What about you, do you have anything to say?" β
"We really don't have much to say, but the Patriarch signed the name of the Patriarch with our Grand Master on the Treaty of Reconciliation, we should not ignore the efforts of our predecessors to seek peace, I do understand the hatred of you Order of the Ancients towards the Templars, but is it useful to embrace only hatred, the world has been at peace for hundreds of years, humanity is trying to regain its glory before the Great Destruction, Catholics, why can't you still let go of hatred."
"I ...... I can't. The leopard girl suddenly spoke.
Marin raised his eyebrows: "You can talk about it." β
"My grandfather said that our family must not forget this hatred, and when our group was hunted down by the Templars, all the members of the family had died, leaving only the young ancestor and a butler, who at the last moment replaced the grandfather with his grandson...... Jiazu watched as his friend was picked on a musket bayonet...... We must take revenge, this is the meaning of our existence. The leopard girl said this, and looked up at the halfling: "Your sect brotherhood always says that hatred will disappear, and humans will join hands, you are wrong, the history of mankind is full of all kinds of conflicts and hatred, the target we are going to kill today, his ancestors are the people who hunted down my family, his ancestors killed my people with their own hands, why did the descendants of the butcher become the high-level of the mage tower, and we poor people who were slaughtered to the point that even our own clan name and emblem had to be abandoned, but we will be reduced to rats in the gutter." , never turn over. β
At this point, the girl glanced around, "Is this all supposed to be, fellow Brotherhood of the Sect, have you forgotten that the entire eastern part of the Western Human World has still refused to accept any organization or business of the Templar Brotherhood on their land; The anti-church region, centered in Copenhagen, is still forbidding both of you from faith; The Fort Carter area is also rejecting any statue that belongs to your church; In all the provinces west of Sidney near Fort Carter, bonfires are held every year to this day...... Even our greatest Great Mentor, Wynne Gayat, died at the hands of the extreme Templar faction of Assassins, and this operation even led to a world war that should have happened, with hundreds of millions of dead and wounded, and the Wynne lineage was cut off for this, all because of the regrets that the ancestors of your good friends did, and if you still think that everything is a pity, then I can only say, it is a pity, a pity, a pity, so regret that we have to face each other. β
Marin sighed, he reached out and took the child's hand: "Your name is Ella, right, what about your last name." β
"We are Ella...... Ella Kan Walding, our family has inherited the old butler's surname, we will never forget, we will never forgive. β
"You should have been surnamed Gaiat, my heir, but I have no objection to your choice, and I will repay ten times the favor, so I also understand and affirm what you have done." Marin stroked the girl in front of her, she was surprised at first, and then when she looked at her friends, there was already some surprise on her face: "I always thought that my grandfather was lying to me, and I am not a son of grace. β
Marlin patted her on the head, then turned to look at Mars, "But before I swing the Hammer of Judgment, Mars Gayat, my other heir, tell me why you saved that man." β
Marin waited for an answer, and his heir immediately stood up, the top pretender smiling and telling his story.
ββ¦β¦ I remember him, too, that my father was killed a long time ago, that he was present on the spot, and that he was later killed by an assassination and received the Knights Templar's Silver Oak Leaf Medal...... I've always wondered who he picked up at noon today, what that man told him, and why my father and his family perished. With that, Mars reached out and patted Ella's head.
Then he looked at Marin: "Your Excellency, I don't know who you are, but my heart tells me that as long as you are here, I have not received an answer before, but I think that after today, I will regain the meaning of my life, and like Ella, I am also living to repay the hatred inflicted on my family." β
After saying that, he looked at Ella and stretched out his hand with a smile: "I'm Mars Gayat, hello, my cousin. β
"I'm on the loneliest road, just like you." He said.
