Chapter 103: Reunion
After the salute, the goddess of knowledge looked around, looking at the evil gods in the chaos camp who had grown into a lump and the four goddesses in the order camp who had not reacted from beginning to end, like a piece of wood.
"Tsk, you're so boring, you guys don't react at all." The goddess of knowledge glanced at the divine light on them and continued. "The complete dominance of divinity allows you to have more control over your person, and at the same time you can fully adapt to the almost infinite time of becoming gods, a few days or tens of thousands of years, all for you."
"But everything is between gain and loss, and there is gain and loss. The dominance of divinity has given you great strength and resistance to time. At the same time, it also makes you lose your joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, your curiosity about all things, your pursuit of truth, and your awe of the world. ”
Lying back, the whole person sat down on the lazy sofa again, and the clothes on his body also turned into a set of green cartoon dinosaur costumes.
"The world is the fairest, and you, the gods who have been granted rules by the world, should likewise be fair to all things and maintain order in the world."
The goddess of knowledge reached out and pulled out a packet of potato chips, then ripped them open and ate them again.
"But you have never done your duty. Even in the most peaceful age of death and the sun god, you are just a bunch of selfish ghosts who forcibly contaminated the world into a perfect world in order to satisfy your own selfish desires. ”
"Hehehe, the god of death and the god of the sun have joined forces to create a world where all races live together peacefully," the goddess of support leaned back against the sofa and looked up mockingly at the giant dice of fate in the sky, "Based on human beings, the great god of death and the sun god have created a world full of beauty. ”
The goddess of knowledge's tone was full of mockery.
"All nations recuperate in this vast Star. There were no wars, no inter-ethnic tear-offs, no discrimination. The wolves and sheep run together on the grasslands, the elves and dwarves drink together, and sometimes the dragons even act as airships, carrying other races to different places. Races that are supposed to be opposing live together in peace, and countless races come together to sing the praises of peace and imagine the future. The Goddess of Knowledge's tone was full of sarcasm, and it seemed that she was singing the praises of that good era, but in fact everyone could hear that she was laughing.
"In the end, the great sun god played with the god of death and was devoured by his own personality. This seemingly beautiful era created by the sun god and the god of death has actually broken the natural rules of the world. ”
"Survival of the fittest, natural selection, weakness is the original sin. But aren't you looking for death by artificially interfering with the natural laws of the whole world? Of course, if you don't become God by person, but by strength, then I didn't say it. ”
He was pointed at by the goddess of knowledge and scolded all the gods and the dice of fate, without the slightest reaction.
"Cut, boring." Supporting the goddess, seeing that they didn't have time to react, she turned her head and continued to eat her chips silently. She just hoped that a god would come out and match her to relieve this loneliness.
In this starlight chessboard, whether it is the righteous god of the order camp or the evil god of the chaos camp, the way for all gods to become gods is to control the rules and obtain the person. And there is an outlier among them, and that is the goddess of knowledge. The goddess of knowledge is the only one among them who has become a god by force.
Theoretically, it is impossible to become a god completely by one's own strength, and it is dozens of times more difficult to become a god in this way than to become a god in person.
To become a god with one's own strength, the accumulation required is dozens of times that of becoming a god in person, and to cause qualitative change with quantitative change, and at the same time, it is necessary to understand and control a law.
In particular, the last one is stuck in the hands of all those who want to become gods by force, because even the gods have to rely on the person of that rule to fully understand and control it. And for an ungodly creature to understand and control a law is simply difficult for a strong man. Not to mention learning, you can't even sense the law.
This is equivalent to someone else obtaining a doctoral diploma, which only needs to be accumulated in a single field. And if the goddess of knowledge wants to obtain a doctoral diploma, she must reach the level of a doctorate in many fields. At the same time, the goddess of knowledge also has to study doctorate-level knowledge on her own at the high school level.
And after becoming a god with strength, no one knows how strong the goddess of knowledge is. Because from ancient times to the present, even in the most dangerous war of the main gods, no one has seen her make a move.
Although the gods did not react on the surface, they were already frightened by this madman inside.
They could feel that the goddess of knowledge was constantly reducing her divinity in an almost crazy way. At the same time, the magic power as vast as the sea gushes out from the body of the goddess of knowledge and is fed back to the world.
This is how the goddess of knowledge breaks away from the starlight chessboard and returns to reality. Reducing one's divinity and giving back all of one's power to the world, so that the world consciousness allows itself to return to reality.
And the price is to fall off the throne, turn back into that weak creature, and lose an almost infinite lifespan.
…………
Eastern Xia Empire, imperial capital, Tianque Building.
Li Zhiguo sat in his office, looking at the virtual floating window in front of him, dealing with several times more government affairs than in the past. The change of position did not reduce his workload, but rather became more important because of the reform and the Southern Xia Democratic Republic.
Now that the Eastern Xia Empire has abolished the parliamentary system and restored the original absolute monarchy, everything has returned to its original trajectory again. Li Zhiguo's own position has also changed from the prime minister of the cabinet to the first assistant of the cabinet, and there is an extra person above everyone's heads.
Although the state system has changed from a constitutional monarchy to an absolute monarchy, the top power class has not changed much because the leaders of each class are internal ghosts. It's just that the middle management has undergone a major change, and the new imperial party has come to power.
At the same time, although Li Zhiguo has changed from the original prime minister to the cabinet chief assistant, it seems that his power has been greatly weakened, and he can no longer decide the country's major policies. In fact, his power has not been weakened, but has become greater. At the same time, the policies he promulgated were no longer weakened by parliament and could be implemented quickly and effectively.
All this is because of the emperor's decentralization, Xia Xuan knows that although his mentality has completely changed from an ordinary person to an emperor, it does not mean that his ability to manage the country is stronger than Li Zhiguo.
Rather than directing blindly, it is better to leave it to the professionals. Therefore, Xia Xuan handed over the country's government affairs to Li Zhiguo, and he only needed to hold the military power and control the overall situation.
At the same time, Xia Xuan does not have the energy to deal with domestic government affairs, and he now has to focus entirely on the development of another world.
Therefore, Li Zhiguo's power is now greater than when he was prime minister, and because there is no obstruction from parliament and capitalists. Once his policy is issued, the new government will implement it quickly. Now Li Zhiguo can be said to be under one person and above 10,000 people, just like in the past, he had to be favored by the parliament and those capitalists.
Now Li Zhi's heart is very happy, one word: cool!
After the new government came to power, Li Zhiguo promulgated one policy after another, and these policies all revolved around one point: people's livelihood. Improve the welfare of citizens, increase the employment rate, and improve the health care system......
In fact, these are not new policies, he had already promulgated them a year ago. It's just that it was stuck by the council, and the layers of the middle level were weakened, and finally it became an ornament.
"There is Situ Ming on the Nanxia side, and some neutral factions have begun to guide the family side. Now as long as there are no accidents in the situation in the Southern Xia Democratic Republic, Situ Ming and they should be able to clean up all the opposition forces and the grass in two months. Li Zhiguo said.
At this moment, a virtual floating window popped out in front of him, and the picture showed an elderly man in his sixties, standing on a podium and shouting loudly.
Seeing this old man, Li Zhiguo smiled disdainfully and said, "No matter how you struggle, you can't stop the reappearance of Great Xia. Everything will return to its original trajectory, and any action you take will be nothing more than a death throe. ”
Then, Li Zhiguo raised his hand to remove the floating window, he had no time or interest to watch the old man scream on the stage.
Li Zhiguo clicked on a proposal, looked at the contents inside, and said: "Although Daxia can still press them to the ground and rub them now, the appearance of nuclear bombs has raised the difficulty of Datong in the world by several notches. ”
"I have to admit that it is almost impossible to achieve the unification of the world by force now. In other words, even if our Great Xia can successfully destroy other countries, it will suffer heavy losses, and what we want in Great Xia is not a cloud star that has fallen into a nuclear winter. ”
[United Nations Draft]
"Stabilize these guys first, and wait until our technology in Great Xia will increase a few times. In the previous three world wars, each time you united to resist the light of great virtue of my Great Xia, this time I used magic to fight you, see how you plagiarize. ”
…………
Goblin Slayer World, Base 0.
After handing over the domestic affairs to Li Zhiguo, Xia Xuan returned to the First Military Region all the way back to the First Military Region in the secret levitating bullet train under the palace last night, and returned to Base 0 through the portal.
Xia Xuan sat in the office and looked at the virtual floating window, which was the information collected by the pioneer troops during this time in the imperial capital of the Crimson Pupil World.
As the Pioneer forces' assassination operations ceased, the night raids resumed, and their assassination operations resumed. As the night raids continued, they had already fought several times with the special security forces led by Estes.
In these several encounters, the night attack was very rational and did not go head-to-head with the powerful special security forces. They changed their previous Musou assassination and became silent. Almost every time, the night raids by the time the special security forces arrived, they had already withdrawn.
Although the battle lasted for nearly a month, there were no casualties on both sides, but the special security forces found out the details of the other side in the night attack, such as the emperor of both sides, and all the members of the night attack were on the wanted list.
"Due to the collective action of the special security forces, the Fashion Doctor capture program has not been carried out." Xia Xuan looked at all kinds of information and intelligence on the virtual screen, and his thoughts were racing fast, looking for a way to break the situation.
For a scientific and technological genius like a fashion doctor, the Eastern Xia Empire gave the highest level of attention. The human body modification technology in his mind can allow the Eastern Xia Empire to renovate the technology on the human body.
Even his robotic arm technology can be used in various fields, and even the arsenal wants to use his technology to try to develop power armor and robot soldiers.
"Maybe you can reveal the location of the base of the night raid to the fashion doctor like in the original book. At that time, the fashion doctor who wants to capture all the members of the night raid back for experiments will inevitably lead his army of reformers to go alone like the original book. ”
Xia Xuan called up the picture of the night attack on the base again, and at this time, it could be seen from the outside that this base had been abandoned by the night attack.
"Although it is an assassination organization that opens Wushuang, its vigilance is still quite high. They must have moved out of the base by the first time they met me. Give the location of this abandoned base to Dr. Fashion, and with the IQ of Dr. Fashion, he will inevitably send a reformer to investigate the situation first. If it is found that this position is fake, it is very likely that it is not worth it. ”
Xia Xuan raised his hand and waved away the picture of the night attack on the abandoned base, and then opened the 2D map of the imperial capital. Zoom it in, and there is a red dot in the forest on the east side of the imperial capital. It was the first time he had seen the signal from the satellite phone given to them by the night raid.
"Fortunately, their new base is not too far from the ground and has not left the signal range of Qingfeng's communication network."
Xia Xuan once again changed out a set of pictures, which showed a two-story cabin.
"According to the drone, this is the new base for the night attack. It's exactly the same as the second base in the original book.,No.,It should be half the size.。 It should be due to the actions of the pioneer troops that the original world line was changed, so that the members who should have died in the night attack did not die. In addition, the number of new members is relatively large, and the wooden house is also larger than the original. ”
After deciding on the plan, Xia Xuan directly connected to the communication channel of General Li Anguo of the military department. And explained the capture plan of the fashion doctor, so that the military department can make a detailed plan with this as a framework.
[Yes, I will obey your will] Li Anguo gave a military salute.
This can be regarded as an idle move before the swarm operation, for Xia Xuan, this capture operation is the best success, and it is not successful. Anyway, now the main character in the original plot is only Minister Sila of Earnest, who led his group of high-level powerhouses recruited from all over the world and has not yet appeared.
But according to this development, Sheila should be back soon. As soon as he shows his face, the Pioneer forces will definitely go to recover the Emperor's Tool: Dimensional Phalanx.
At the same time, one of the two special talents that the Eastern Xia Empire was interested in, the alchemist from the Western countries, Dotya, was also in Sheila's ranks.
The stage has been slowly erected, and the actors have taken the stage one after another and started their performances. Just wait for all the actors to take the stage, and the Eastern Xia Empire can end.
In the next hour, Xia Xuan watched all kinds of government affairs and materials accumulated during this time, as well as events.
The guns promised to be given to the Ten Kingdoms have been airdropped by the Eastern Xia Empire to their respective palaces using transport planes. Among them, those dwarven kingdoms are the happiest, they have long hidden their guns, but they don't know how to ask the Eastern Xia Empire for how to make them. And now that they have a batch of samples, even if they can't make them, their dwarves can also see some clues with their exquisite forging skills, such as gunpowder.
The Eastern Xia Empire didn't care about this at all, even if they were given lathes and various manufacturing machines, without an industrial base and a large number of professionals, the dwarves would not be able to manufacture firearms in batches.
The Elven Kingdom, on the other hand, was not very interested in these firearms, because after the Third Legion of the Eastern Xia Empire's development army settled in the Elven territory. The cult organizations and monster caves that had just begun in the three major elven kingdoms were instantly suppressed in the face of the force of the third army.
The domestic society is stable, so that the elves are not hungry for firearms, at most it is to give the elf guards a fresh picture.
At the same time, the transportation network of the three human kingdoms has been completed, and the Eastern Xia Empire has begun to build heavy industrial factories in these human kingdoms according to the plan. In the future, the Eastern Xia Empire will also transfer some of the most polluting heavy industries in the country to here.
With the continuous improvement of the transportation network of the ten countries, tens of thousands of tons of minerals were transported to Base 0 for refinement, and then transported back to the Eastern Xia Empire to feed the country.
This was just the beginning, and with the subsequent improvement of the transportation network, there was also the establishment of factories. In the future, more and more resources will be shipped back to China like a snowball.
Then he turned his attention to the system panel, clicked on the skill panel, and looked at the newly acquired skills.
[True Me] (Active): After use
…………
Slash the Crimson Pupil World, the Imperial Capital.
The sun sets, and the silver moon is in the sky.
The soft moonlight sprinkled on the bustling imperial capital, and after a day of work, the tired commoners fell asleep.
The upper classes, such as officials, aristocrats, and wealthy people, became panicked by the assassinations carried out by the Eastern Xia Empire and the night raids during this time. Everyone stood on their hair at night, for fear that if they closed their eyes, they would not be able to get up tomorrow.
Officials and nobles were relatively better, and because of their relationship with power, they moved to the vicinity of the palace. The injured were not so lucky, and they had to spend a lot of money to hire a large number of security guards to protect themselves.
However, even so, many officials, wealthy merchants, and nobles were assassinated by night raids. Especially the group of security guards who looked very imposing from the wealthy businessmen, they were directly killed by the night attack every time.
Especially the one who used to be the strongest in the empire, the red pupil, killing people is like mowing grass. Every time the black demon knife swung, it rolled up a stream of dead air and tore people apart.
At this time, on the west side of the imperial capital, in a dilapidated manor.
"Please, don't kill me!" A man dressed as a businessman, fat into a lump, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The fat on his body trembled with every kowtow he towtowed, and at this time his face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, and his mouth pleaded: "I didn't do anything hurtful, I just introduced them to a job that could make money." I'm just an ordinary businessman, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't rob, please let me go! ”
"And I still have parents to support, I still have a wife and two children, they need me, please let me go!" As he spoke, snot and tears flowed from the businessman's eyes.
And the three members of the Night Raid standing in front of them, Sayo, Iyeas, and Brand, looked coldly at the merchant who was kneeling on the ground.
"Introducing jobs? You should be clear about what job you are describing. Countless women have been tricked by you into being so-called waiters, which are not waiters at all, they are brothels! Iyeas slowly raised the sword in his hand and walked towards the merchant who was kneeling on the ground.
This merchant was the waitress provider of the largest brothel in the imperial capital, and almost every day a woman was tricked into the brothel by him. Hardly any of these women survived, and every woman who entered it was forced to smoke a highly addictive drug. In the end, these women, without exception, will sell their bodies in order to be able to smoke this medicine cigarette, until their bodies collapse and die.
He didn't kill anyone, but he indirectly killed hundreds of people and ruined countless families.
When the rich merchant knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, he got up from the ground, and then collapsed on the ground because his feet were weak. Looking at the bright sword, his face became more and more pale and said, "No...... No, I'll give you money, lots and lots of money, I'll give you all the money, please spare me! ”
Iyeas ignored him, aimed at his neck, and waved his right hand.
Swish!
With a flash of silver light, bright red blood splattered, glowing slightly in the moonlight shining in from the window, and a head fell to the ground.
After seeing the merchant's death, Brand, who was dressed in armor-type imperial tools, spoke, "The mission is complete, let's go." ”
"Hmm," Iaias and Sayo nodded, then followed behind Brand.
The three of them walked out of the room, and the corridor was full of the corpses of security guards at this time, which was basic for a matchless killer organization like Night Raid. Coming to the first floor, the three of them swaggered out through the gate.
Just as they walked out of the house, Brand suddenly reached out to stop Sayo and Iyeas, and said, "There is an enemy. ”
Click.........
Footsteps came from afar, and a man in silver armor and a silver-white sword walked in the moonlight.
After seeing the comer's face clearly, Iyeas and Sayu subconsciously shouted, "Tazmi! ”
Tazmi came to a distance of 10 meters from the three of them, and looked at the two unusually familiar faces behind Brand. After confirming that it was his two childhood sweethearts, the right hand holding the sword appeared with green tendons due to excessive force, and said in a hoarse voice: "Shayou, Iyeas, why?" ”
The moon tonight is very round, very beautiful, and the soft moonlight shines down, scattered on the three teenagers and girls who came to the imperial capital with dreams.
Obviously he was born in the same village, grew up in the same environment, and set off to the imperial capital at the same time. But in just one month, the three of them have embarked on completely different paths.
The long-awaited reunion of the three arrived, but this reunion was not as happy as imagined. On the contrary, this reunion was like a knife inserted deep into the hearts of the three people.
