Chapter 1223: The Movement of the Divine Sin
The internal war in the Kurkut Empire has intensified, and without anyone knowing, Ruerno Luches has single-handedly pushed the prosperous and powerful yet decaying empire into the quagmire of war.
He intends to use this civil war to propel the empire into the next era, otherwise, with the temperament of that group of nobles, he will definitely make the Kurkut Empire fall behind the times.
A few years ago, when he made this terrible plan, he had already seen that the future would be a rather radical era, and from the great changes in the world of Assatom today, the future era was far beyond the imagination of their old men.
In this case, the guys who can't keep up with the times should retreat bravely, instead of continuing to control the empire with a dead face, so Ruerno made such a plan - because he knew from the beginning that those nobles would never be willing to let go of the power in their hands, even if they died.
Since they are unwilling to give up power, they have to let them die.
Ruerno Luches is now like a cold and ruthless monster, soaking in potions that only the dead can brew all day long, calculating everything, most of the nobles of the empire have become a group of pests in his eyes, and human life is just an ordinary number.
He has become the kind of person he once hated the most, but he doesn't care, because now his brain is extremely rational and he will no longer be mistaken by 'sensibility'.
Now in his heart, I am afraid there is only one thing left......
Perhaps, I should have stopped him in the first place!
Looking at the old man who was soaked in the potion and stared at him indifferently, the current head of the Palace Mage Association couldn't help but sigh: "Is it worth it?"
He had already asked once before, but when the civil war intensified and it seemed likely to be beyond Rurno's control, he couldn't help but ask again.
Charlemagne understands very well what a person will behave before he dies, and his long life has allowed him to see many former friends die one after another, and the children of friends grow up and then die......
It was useless even if he was tired of these things, they were deeply imprinted in his mind, in his deepest and indelible memories, even if he wanted to, he could not forget them.
Some people are able to live peacefully and calmly before they die, while others become moody because they are afraid of dying when they grow old.
As a legend, he had never experienced the despair of waiting for the power to pass through his body and he could do nothing, and even in the future, he could not experience such a thing, because there was a high probability that he would die in battle, or die on the path of searching for the truth, even if he finally died - as a legend, until he died, he was still a legend.
But his old friend's time was running out, and the plan was only halfway through.
He had read the plan and had been involved in the development of that plan, so he knew exactly what the current state of the empire meant for that plan.
Now Charlemagne is afraid that this old friend of his will do something that he regrets before he dies, and if this is the case, even if he wants to kill him here, he can do it!
"It's worth it!" the cold synthesized voice echoed through the dimly lit room, and Urno's entire emaciated body was soaked in the potion, his eyes dark.
No matter how you look at it, Charlemagne feels that this old friend of his is very much like a 'ghoul', a ghoul who has lost his life and humanity......
Before Charlemagne could say anything more, Ruerno took the lead and said: "Charlemagne, I know what you're thinking, even if I'm dying, I'm still a legend, I can't go against my heart, I still expect to make the empire better......"
"Otherwise, I would have killed you a long time ago!" Charlemagne rolled his eyes, "If it weren't for knowing that you were still concerned about the Empire, I would have killed you a long time agoβit's better to let you die sooner rather than this painful ordeal!"
"If I don't love this empire anymore, I wish you could kill me right now......" Ruerno forced himself to squeeze out a smile, though it was evil on his skinny face.
Rather than lingering, it is better to die sooner and no longer harm the empire he once loved is what he hopes for the most.
Ruerno knew what he could do now, as long as he no longer loved the empire, but tossed it for his own will, then soon, the Kurkut empire would fall apart.
Now what he does is like dancing on the tip of a knife, and one carelessness can plunge the empire into a state of no return.
Seeing that Lu Ernuo forced a smile, Charlemagne sighed in his heart and laughed along, but the smile was not very natural.
"Can you keep going? If you go according to the original plan, you can even say that it is 'just getting started'. Charlemagne asked, tilting his head and smiling.
With a stiff smile on his face, Ruerno shook his head slightly, "I definitely won't last that long, and the longest will only be two or three years to live, but I dare to conclude that I will definitely not live that long, and living another year or two is already a 'gift'." β
"But don't worry, my students will help me carry out the plan, whether it's His Majesty or Donald......" As if thinking of something again, Ruerno laughed dryly, and continued, "Maybe it won't be long before Donald gets the position of 'chief'!"
Charlemagne raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face did not fade, "It's better to say that it's exactly what I want." β
β...... That's all for the old friend's reminiscence!" The two of them laughed at each other, and eventually, Ruerno put an end to the reminiscence, "Is it because of the Arcane Empire?"
Hearing this, Charlemagne also smiled and lamented: "The Arcane Empire has not yet returned, and the dragons are also heading to the Inland Sea area to search for their traces, so we don't need to worry about it for the time being." Rather, it is a matter of iniquity...... The time has come. β
After a moment of silence, Ruerno asked in a low voice, "Those fishmen in the ocean have been affected a lot, right?"
These things were not told to him, and he knew that they were requested by Charlemagne and Maggie Easy, and that no one could hide them from him now without their orders.
They were afraid that after he learned of the news, he would immediately leave the jar and go to fight the gods.
None of them knew what the God of Light and the God of Justice were up to, and until now, the two gods had not done anything against them, and they didn't seem to have any intention of doing so.
If you can't seal it in the world of Assatom, then wouldn't it be better to seal it to the other plane, and if you exile the gods to the bottomless abyss, that's a good idea.
But the two gods didn't do anything, as if they were going to watch the world die.
It was very wrong, but they couldn't ask, the two gods should have their own plans, and all they could do was take precautions.
Charlemagne's eyes lowered, and he replied truthfully: "There are two gods flying in the direction of the empire, and all the gods are flying towards Sloe Mendes after wreaking havoc on the southern continent, and on the way, they were caught by the sea tribe, so they didn't arrive so quickly." β
Otherwise, at the speed of those gods, they would have come to Sloe Mendes a few months ago.
The desire for destruction once again overrode the fear of the gods, and those brainless and quite powerful monsters finally headed in the direction of the continent of Sloe Mendes.
"It's a big problem...... "Ruerno sighed, and this time, Charlemagne didn't say anything.
That's the way it is, they are really in big trouble.
