XVI. The Cycle of Power

I'm used to human beings killing each other, doing whatever it takes for profit. Human beings are undoubtedly noble, but they are undoubtedly despised.

It's hard to generalize about this.

Lamia said: "Why does she think so? If there is a misunderstanding, then solve the misunderstanding, and if you continue to fight like this, you will only lose both, and the winner will not have a good time in the future. ”

Yes, the purpose of war is to end the war, whether it is to destroy the opponent or inflict pain, it is to draw a stop.

Boren: "I told you, my wife is the sister of a former king, I myself am an earl, and my family has been a powerful family for generations. ”

I said, "Just the thousands of you, the titles are quite complete, or what generation of powerful people?" ”

Bolun smiled, "Kind of ridiculous, isn't it?" At this, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and I could tell that he was hiding his uneasiness.

After laughing, he said: "The former king was my brother-in-law, but also my friend when I was young, and after he came to power, I was his biggest supporter. It can be said that we are very close, and I can say that I am fiercely loyal to him. ”

I said, "But...."

He was stunned and said, "How do you know I'm going to say 'but'?" ”

"Because there's always going to be a but, the old routine."

Bolun then changed his words: "However, he suddenly had an inexplicable ambition! He believes that we should get out of the Aether and retake the city of London, and to do so we must do everything we can, pushing ourselves to the limit little by little, and squeezing all the potential. ”

Lamia said, "Isn't that the same as Queen Ranna?" ”

Bolun hung his head and said, "Yes, yes." This matter has been unanimously opposed by both inside and outside the court, and we can mobilize about 3,000 troops, but at this point, human beings may die in an instant in the face of 100,000 or even a million demons.

The Prime Minister at the time, my father, De Laine, advised the King: What we need to do is to recharge our energy and study the Aether until the time is ripe, or there is a great turn of events within us. If we do not see a clear light, we will only bring about our own destruction.

But the king was stubborn and arbitrary, and he refuted his father's advice. He said, 'Very well, Delane, you never took me seriously. Do you always think that you have the truth and control the court? Then I'll let you see who's the boss. ’

He banished my father from the Aether Sea, and my poor old father, he will not survive. Those who interceded on my father's behalf were whipped by him, but he was not at ease at this point. He had one of the Hunters assassinate them, except for me, because I had kept it to myself.

At that time, if according to the king's will, the people of the Black Building, the entire Miracle Street, would be tied to the chariot by him and rushed to hell from which he could never recover. So I thought of poisoning. After taking the medicine, the king died that night. ”

The Titan God sighed, "And we fought with the King's executioner, Dales, killed him and took control of the situation. The king's perverse behavior has long been unpopular with the people, so when we declare that he was suffering from a terrible disease and died violently, there is not much opposition. ”

The god of the earth said, "Except for Queen Camu." ”

I asked, "Is that your wife?" ”

Bolun said sadly, "yes, it's her. She loved her brother dearly, and felt that he was right in everything he said. The king has no heirs, his wife has passed away for a few years, according to the constitution, Camu will inherit the throne, we all know that she will come to a reckoning, and then.... Fulfill his legacy, and she makes no secret of it, her temper has always been very similar to that of her brother. ”

Lamia frowned and said, "She's dead too." ”

Boren said, "Oh yes, yes. She also died. ”

Lamia: "Honestly, you poisoned her?" ”

Bolun shook his head and said, "No, no, my Camu has always been in poor health, and the worst thing is that she can't trust anyone around her, especially me, she never eats what the royal chef cooks for her, maybe it was too much pressure that caused her sudden death." ”

If he's lying, we don't see the clues. After saying this, he began to drink tea sadly.

Lamia asked me through the headphones, "Do you think it was his hand?" ”

I said, "No, he has already confessed to killing the king, why doesn't he admit to killing his wife?" ”

"Because Queen Camus is not guilty, she has done nothing, and she is not a tyrant whom everyone recognizes, like the king," Lamia said. ”

"Yes, he has to maintain his reputation in front of others. Well, it's been so long, and I can't say he's completely wrong..."

Lamia glared at me, and I immediately said, "Of course, I hate those who treat my wife badly the most, can they still be considered human?" I think we can just cut off the prime minister's head and use it to give his daughter a vote. ”

I knew Lamia's character, and when she heard that I was going to extremes, she would persuade me to use a compromise approach, and this time was no exception, and sure enough, she sighed: "No, now that I have chosen a side, I can't be capricious, continue to listen to him." ”

Bolun: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

Lamia said: "The most critical place, you and your daughter Ranna. ”

Bolun said, "Yes, yes, Ranna. After Kang Miu's death, Rana was the heir, and she showed no doubt about Kang Miao's death at the time. Alas, she has been so good at forbearance since she was a child. I let my guard down and assisted her wholeheartedly, but I didn't know that she had been secretly cultivating her own power. Ten years later, when I found out that four of the Ten Hunting Methods were dead set on her, I found that she was secretly planning and preparing for a move.

I think I'm a good father, I love my daughter, and I can sacrifice my life for her, but I can't let her go wrong. Because it will kill a lot of people, just like her uncle, and if she is in power, then we old ministers will have to die, and the soldiers will have to be forced to go on expeditions and fight that battle with no chance of victory, and thousands of good soldiers and good soldiers will become food for the devil.

I had no choice but to strike first and put her under house arrest in advance. ”

I crossed my hands over my chest and said, "Indeed, after all, you have already used her suit on the former king, and you are much more skilled than her." ”

Bolun bowed his head in pain and said, "My benefactor, you must understand that I have no choice, and my every move is not about me alone, but thousands of lives!" ”

Yes, I understand all the better, because I have faced the same problem when I was crying, sacrificing a loved one, saving thousands of civilians, it sounds insane, but this is the bloody reality that great heroes must face.

The difference is that Yao Chi sacrifices herself, while Bolun wants to sacrifice his professed loyal friend, his beloved wife, and his beloved daughter.

Lamia: "How did Rana escape?" ”

"She predicted mine, and I never expected her to be so clever," Boren said. She knew that I would not kill her easily, so she pretended to agree to be my prisoner, however, the Phantom God quietly rescued her, and I knew nothing, and then, just when I thought the matter was settled, an ambush came and nearly killed me.

Her command was decisive and fast, but we, the veterans, had also been in battle for a long time, and after that, the two sides of the Chu River and Han Realms were so deadlocked. She's looking for my location, and I'm figuring out where she is. But who would have predicted? She actually has angels to help her. ”

I said, "You can't say it's very wrong.," which made Lamia snort, and I immediately said, "But look at what you have done, you are vicious, saying one thing and doing another, and a righteous person like me, who is called the Friend of Women, will never tolerate it." ”

Bolun looked at me pitifully and said, "What would you do if it were you?" Let everyone be sent to the fire pit by them? ”

Lamia said, "I repeat, you must shake hands and make peace. Otherwise, even if you kill Ranna, or if Rana kills you, the situation will continue to go on and on. ”

Bolun said, "Why don't I know? But if you know Ranna's temper β€” God, she's as stubborn as her mother and uncle β€” you know that even if she's forced to the point of exhaustion, she won't throw in the towel easily. I always thought we should continue to live, she would never agree, what should I do? Deposed her? But she doesn't have an heir yet. ”

I said, "Then, whether it's right or wrong, hand over what you promised to us, and then it makes sense for us to continue working together after we get paid." ”

Bolun had that old old man on his faceβ€”just like Mster had done when Kara had convicted him of the crime.

I said angrily: "Do you want to admit it? With that, I took a step forward and stretched out my hand: "Hand over the Ancestor's Flame of Darkness!" ”

I didn't mean to hurt anyone, but several Spell Hunters stood in front of me at the same time, and even if it didn't turn into a black nightmare, they wouldn't want to stop me. Their posture made me want to intimidate them.

Bolun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You must understand our difficulties. ”

I asked, "Difficulty?" Didn't you say you could save it, and you all rescued it? ”

"We know, but we haven't rescued more," Boren said. ”

Lamia and I were speechless for a moment.

Boren: "This was originally the Ruimore site, which I learned from the documents left behind. But in fact.... In fact, another facility has been built underground, which is also mysterious and unknown to us. ”

I said, "Don't you babble, what's mysterious?" This relic is hundreds of years old, is it possible that it is low, and what is strange? ”

"That's the lab where Ark Motz was resurrected," Boren said. ”

I stood up suddenly, and after a few moments, sat down slowly.

I said, "Just below Miracle Street?" ”

"No one knows why they appeared, but this is the source of the disaster that caused the whole city, and it seems that they built a university or something on the site," Bolun said. I don't know what the hellfire you are talking about, but it should have been sealed inside the laboratory. ”
