Out of the office, it was already late at night. The night breeze was blowing, and Kane felt cold all over, only to find that the sweat had soaked through his underwear.

He never thought that the round hook was talking to him about joining the intelligence bureau.

"No, he's censoring you. ”

The voice of the child of lies jumped out of his heart, and he shuddered with fright. After entering the Unification Zone, the Children of Lies have not moved.

He responded in horror: "Since you know it's censorship, why did you still jump out?"

"Of course I came out when it's okay, I said a long time ago, there is no problem", the tone of the child of lies was a little smug, and he could hear that the censorship just now was definitely not as easy as it said.

"The bald chief isn't using his powers, he's just checking your details in a mortal way. The accent, the expression, the tone of the voice, the posture, nothing was spared. ”

The Son of Lies rarely admired: "That guy has a completely inhuman calmness, even beyond the heart of a mortal, but he can maintain a connection with the heart of a mortal." If it is an ordinary spy, or other professions disguised with magic and magic, as long as there is no legendary power, it will be difficult to escape his eyes. ”

Didn't use your divine powers? Who is really reviewing yourself? The woman who came in from behind?

"That woman, very pretty, you are not tempted, and you are still thinking about your little nurse? It was a fallen priest, and if I guessed correctly, she was once a high priest of abuse to the goddess. Now the conversion is incomplete, and the body is still tainted with the smell of the goddess of abuse. ”

"She's putting a lot of pressure on you, isn't she? That's right, she used to be good at oppressing souls by causing physical pain, but now she just squeezes souls with words and actions, which will make people involuntarily leak some soul breath. It's effective against other people, but it's not enough for me. ”

"The one who really used his divine power to examine you was the last officer to come in. Why, do you think that person is just looking for a bald head to talk about work? The work should be real, and you can do a review by the way. ”

"That's a standard-bearer, yes, it's the same profession as your direct boss in the legion, the brigade commissar. It's just that your boss, like you, cares for and loves the soldiers, boosts the morale of the soldiers, and takes the lead in battle. But you also know that this is just the first creed of practicing the profession of standard-bearer, and the latter creed is to check whether the faith is firm and whether the soul is true. ”

The thought of interacting with the standard-bearer made Kane sweat again.

The standard-bearer first warmly praised his bravery and firmness, but suddenly turned a cold face, accusing him of always acting recklessly regardless of life and death, and of acting impulsively even when he did not need to pay the price of his life, which violated the requirements of the crimson professional to face up to the objective reality and treat wisdom, strength, and courage equally, and was a bad example to the officers and men.

At that time, Kane's soul trembled, and he couldn't speak for a while, and the bald director said that he still needed to learn and improve before he could cope with the past.

The Child of Lies said, "Yes, he used magic when he accused you, and I could feel a powerful force washing over your soul to turn over the impurities hidden in the depths. ”

Kane gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, it would be good if he could turn it out at that time, and the painful torment would come to an end.

The Son of Lies chuckled: "Unfortunately, his strength is still not enough. If it's a legendary-level standard-bearer, I may not be able to hide it. It's only level four, it's easy to deal with, I just need to shrink into the depths of your soul. There might be a hint of breath outside, but it's not something he can spot. ”

Kane was first rejoicing, then angry.

Even if you evade the scrutiny of the Intelligence Bureau and the Standard-bearer, and cover up the truth that the Half-Demon is here to contact you, McGore will not let you go!

"Why is McGore going against me?"

The Son of Lies said, "For the sake of a mere half-demon subordinate, or a hapless bastard who has been brought in to do things temporarily." ”

"Kane, you've passed the censorship, and you're sure you're on the rise. When the time comes, the identity will be different, and the value in McGore's eyes will be higher. As long as he sends a signal that he is willing to continue to cooperate with him, he will wait patiently, after all, his current focus is not here. ”

"That's right, during those times when you have no memory at all, I did something to make sure McGore knew my progress and thoughts, so I didn't have to worry about him. ”

Kane shouted in his heart, you ...... Demon!

"No, seriously, I'm closer to the devil," the child of lies corrected him solemnly, and continued, "As long as you agree to the director's request to join the intelligence agency, I promise to get your consent before taking back control of the body." ”

I don't want to be an assassin, a killer, or a spy!

Kane said angrily, only on the battlefield of blood and fire, only by struggling between life and death, can he feel the truth.

This intelligence bureau is obviously doing shady things, how can he agree?

The Child of Lies patiently persuaded: "Think about it, only then will you be safer, and I will be closer to the truth, which is something that is good for both of us." ”

Kane firmly refused, don't think!

Downstairs, he was talking to the son of lies, and the whole person looked stunned, until a person called him for the third time, and he didn't come back to his senses.

In an instant, his hairs stood on end, it was the standard-bearer!

"I'm from the Organization Department, Captain Danhitt, I'm sorry, I used magic on you just now", the other party obviously regarded his reaction as the sequelae just now, and said apologetically: "Go back and take a hot bath, drink some beer, and sleep well, and you'll be fine." ”

"Yes......"

Kane subconsciously saluted, and suddenly froze halfway through his hand: "Captain?"

He's just a lieutenant as the squadron commissar?

The flag bearer smiled and said, "As compensation, I will tell you two good news in advance, the first is that you have been promoted." ”

Kane almost screamed with joy, but the son of lies followed and congratulated him in his heart, which made him lose a trace of joy.

"What about the second one," the standard-bearer continued, "you have been elected as a delegate to the First Plenary Congress of the Communist Party of Fergus to attend the congress to be held the day after tomorrow." ”

Kane's heart is swaying, go to the plenary meeting!?

He said bitterly, "I heard...... Must be Hero ......"

"There is a special seat reserved for heroes like you", the standard-bearer handed him a bunch of keys: "The legion has allocated you a dormitory in the Western Side Military Home, although it is not large, you should have everything." Wait for a car to send you over, don't run around tomorrow, the organization department will send someone to explain to you the precautions for attending the meeting. ”

The standard-bearer gave him a military salute: "Listen carefully to the instructions of the Central Committee and pour out your heart to the Central Committee, Representative Danhitt!"

He was taken by car to the military quarters and into the bachelorette suite assigned to him. After taking a shower, pouring half a stomach of beer, and slumping on the couch, Kane still hasn't shaken off the intense sense of unreality.

"I didn't even think of it, Kane, is it the convention that the doctors and nurses are talking about during the day, the convention that is going to give a full account of the doctrine, clarify the creed, and announce some important things?"

The son of lies kept saying in his heart: "Well done Kane! Your hard blow from the hospital bed sent us to the upper echelons of the Philip, and soon we will be able to get a glimpse of the true face of the Phillips Church!"

Kane thought bitterly, "And then, let me betray all of this again!?"

"Maybe ......"

The Child of Lies said: "But don't despair, the truth will certainly not be so simple." I was very interested in how they weaved lies and generated the power of faith, and I was very curious about what they could do. ”

Kane stared blankly at the night scene, and suddenly had a strong anticipation.

He expected to find out that his beliefs were all lies at the conference, and that the Fei Gong was not leading mortals to the path of justice and truth, but only the companion of the children of lies.

..................

"The three of you finally got together and made a career, but you want everyone to go back to your hometown. Frodo, what have you been through?"

In the adventurer's tavern in the northern district of Beta City, the three halflings were relatively speechless, and Mayne, who had changed into civilian clothes, arrived behind them, and only after listening to Sam explain the situation did he understand why the atmosphere was wrong.

Pique's eyebrows fluttered instantly, and his big nose flushed like a rosacea: "Yes, Norrie and I are preparing a new show, and that guy has finally accepted to put my name on the name of the show, and the two of us will definitely be popular all over Finn! Frodo, what do you want us to do back to Redstone and continue to catch those bugs?"

"New show?"

Mayne asked curiously, "When Sam and I picked you up from prison before, didn't you say that your adventures in the realm of the dead were enough to shock the world?"

"Uh...... That ......"

Peake rolled his eyes and laughed: "That's confidential, I made a Styx oath with the person concerned, and I must not say it!"

"I've been sternly warned not to make it up," Mayne laughed, "otherwise how could you be put in jail? ”

"Mayne, you're underestimating me! we're ...... with death."

As soon as Peake said two words, he quickly covered his mouth and looked left and right, as if someone would jump out and cut off his head at any moment.

Mayne said again: "Okay, let's listen to what Flodo has to say, since this is such a big decision, I have to explain it to everyone." ”

"What ...... I've been through"

Flordo took a sip of a small half glass of beer and said with a blurred gaze: "I have experienced the most terrible things in the world, and I have seen the most terrible power with my own eyes." ”

Sam clenched his fists and said, "If you say it's the Prince of Belino...... No, what King Belino did in the kingdom of Koster, why don't you bring Gomis back as well, why don't you stay here and work with us to eradicate that evil?"

"The same thing is happening here, but it's cleverly disguised so you don't notice it," Flordo said, shaking his head, "As for Gomis, his soul has been consumed by that power, and he is not the Gomis he used to be. ”

"He is now the king's third attendant, gathering the thieves and killer guilds of the entire kingdom, smashing and looting everywhere, looting gold bushels, magic wizards, and, incidentally, all the people and things that can be seen for himself. ”

Speaking of Gomis, Flordo's eyes flashed with endless pain.

He remembered that night, Gomis had taken him to the tavern again. The bar that once called Prince Belino but was scoffed at by the bartender.

There, Gomis cut off the bartender's head bit by bit with a knife, smashed every table and barrel with his own hands, and then dropped the torch and burned down half the street of the tavern.

At that time, he could not persuade himself, Gomis stared at him with blood-red eyes and said: "Didn't you think of doing this when you were ridiculed? Why did you stop me? You are no different from other people, you are disgusting hypocrisy!"

Flodo finally realizes that the former Gomis is dead, and like King Belino, his soul has been consumed by the power of the cruel god.

Originally, it took him a lot of effort to dispel Belino's suspicions, and he stayed with Gomis to observe what Belino was doing in Kester. When Gomis descended into darkness, he could not stay any longer.

Yesterday he returned to the Fallen Plateau, learned about the incident in the central street, and listened to Xiaohong's announcement, so he first quit his job as an agent for the Intelligence Bureau, and then went to Sam and Peake, wanting to take them back to Redstone's hometown.

Sam said, "You're looking into the situation of the kingdom of Kster for the Intelligence Bureau, doesn't that mean that we have to deal with Kest?

"We?"

Rubbing his forehead, Flordo said, "Behold, you too have been eroded by the power of the gods, and subconsciously regard yourselves as part of this place. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Mayne asked, "Do you think this is the same as the kingdom of Koster?"

"Of course it's the same!"

Frodo took something out of his purse and slapped it on the table: "Look at this proclamation, what says that God loves mortals and blesses mortals." Mortals believe in the gods, unite as one, and give everything to establish the kingdom of God on earth. To put it another way, isn't it the announcement made by the Fei Gong before?"

Sam shook his head solemnly: "Frodo, you should understand that the public ownership here is not the same thing as the divine property system of Casther. ”

"Perhaps," Frodo shook his head: "But why should it be publicly owned? Isn't it natural that everyone's property belongs to themselves? No matter how good the truth is and how moving the future is portrayed, overturning this natural truth means that everything is a lie!"

The handsome halfling young man, whose pupils were originally very clear, now looked cloudy and confused: "I have seen too many in Kerth, those who do not have enough capital to bribe officials and priests, men are arrested and labor like slaves, women are ...... Worse than a slave. The land that was once a wheat field or a steppe lost its color, and the rivers and streams turned scarlet and filled with mutilated corpses. ”

"Belino turned cities into barracks, frantically collecting and digging for all kinds of materials, and his priests used sound telephony, like the loudspeakers here in Beta, to sing praises all day long, boasting that the day when the kingdom of God on the ground was built, everyone would have eternal happiness. ”

Flodo glanced at his companion and Mayne, and said bitterly: "Isn't it the most terrible thing in the world to cover up their crime of plundering people's wealth and even their lives with incomparably beautiful slogans?

Mayne muttered, "Where is the Kerth...... Has it become so scary?"

She still remembers the ...... That person, along with four halfling companions, met Nicole in King Kester's capital, which was originally a country full of vitality.

"Flodo, you are not allowed to slander our cause!"

Sam was angry: "We've been here for a long time, and the Fei Gong in Beta City is definitely not what you say!"

"Then why does public ownership have to be used here?"

Flordo asked coldly: "Even if it is different from the divine system, it ultimately denies the truth that mortal wealth should belong to itself, doesn't it?

Peake shrugged and said, "As long as I can live stream my adventure show and then be fed and clothed, nothing else matters." ”

Sam sighed, "Isn't this the same thing as Mayne's previous story of sharing wealth and food with everyone in the Paladin?

"Did the paladins create a new order? Isn't it still divided, like the ......?"

Flordo quickly shut up when he said this, and Mayne shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can take it." ”

Saying that, Flordo changed the subject: "We still have something to do when we go back, I just received news from Redstone that the place in our hometown has been assigned to the Dukedom of Sylvie, and the city lord who pressed on our head has been driven away. ”

His eyes flashed with longing: "Sylvie is gathering local professionals, like me, who have a lot of land in the village, should be able to get the knighthood." ”

He said eagerly to Sam and Peake, "Go back and work with me, let's build our hometown together." Didn't Tessolus say that returning to our hometown and dying in the place where we were born is the complete life that a halfling should have. ”

Sam and Peake were relatively speechless, and Mayne asked, "Is it so important to you, Sir or something, Frodo?"

Flodo smiled: "When we came out, wasn't it because of Ge...... Can I be the princess's attendant?"

"If you think that's fine, I'm not against that, I'll send you goodbye", Mayne looked at Sam, "but they, I think they'd want to stay here." ”

"Sam ......"

Flordo looked at Sam, and his expression became very serious: "Are you really not willing to follow me, but want to stay?"

Sam bowed his head: "I ......"

Flordo smiled wryly: "Well, the oath we once swore was really a child's joke." ”

Sam's chubby body curled up in a ball, becoming more like a super-small chubby. He was silent for a while, then gave Mayne an apologetic look, and sighed to Flodo, "I swore in the name of Tesolos that I would take care of you for the rest of my life, and I would go back with you." ”

Mayne said incredulously, "Sam!, don't you care about what you're doing here?

Sam turned his head and said, "I'm a halfling after all, Mayne......"

Mayne blushed and slapped the table with a thick neck: "Go to Nima's halfling! Halflings are not human! Halflings have no souls? Turn to look at me Sam! Look me in the eyes and tell me what we have been through before, and the future we are looking forward to and fighting for, none of them can compare to your loyalty to another person! You are still just a slave under a noble lord!"

Flodo was also furious: "Don't think of my relationship with Sam as the relationship between the master and the slave!"

Mayne retorted angrily, "Then why force him to fulfill that bullshit vow? You wouldn't eat or sleep without Sam?"

Flordo was stunned, and Peake scratched the tip of his big nose to look left and right, and then at Sam, whose face was like ashes, with an expression of disbelief.

"I ......"

Sam struggled to speak, and as soon as he spat out a word, he and Mayne's sidekick shook slightly at the same time.

Open the text message from the Beta City Communication Center in the field of vision, and the content caused the two of them to freeze at the same time, and the cheeks slowly flushed.

Mayne muttered, "I...... Yes, it is represented. ”

Sam echoed in surprise: "You too, so do I!"

The smile that had just risen on the round face of the halfling dissipated like an epiphany.

"I'm a halfling, Mayne," Sam said in a low voice, "I owe it to Flodo, and I'll go back with him when the meeting is over." ”

"Okay, go back, and be the butler of the noble lord in the ravine", Mayne's smile disappeared at the same time as the flush on her cheeks, and she gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "I want to join the legion and smash your old world when the time comes!"

The girl strode away with her long legs, Sam and Flordo stared at her blankly, and Peake rubbed his nose vigorously on the side: "Then you don't need me, right?"
