The King of Chaos bent down to look at the tiny Mephistopheles and said: "No power can eliminate the soul and ensure that people can live in the world, which needs to deceive the 'knights' and involves a lot of inevitable connections, which is what you commonly call 'fate' and ' Time', the only way can only replace the original soul through the medium of life, even this is not perfect, don't think that with the help of our power can affect human beings, because we are all from the realm of the void, we and the power of God represent two extremes, the same our power and God have contradictions, human beings are God's masterpieces, you want to use our power to transform human beings, become the product of our power, will inevitably be restricted by the power of God, and our power can not be completely inherited, every time the inheritance power will be weakened, no one can inherit the original ability without reservation, you must be clear about thisDo you want to do that again? ”

Mephistopheles thought about the words of the Lord of Chaos, he didn't want to come here empty-handed, so as not to make the Grand Duke of Hell and the lords make fun of him, even if he didn't succeed, he had to try.

"Of course, my revered king, I still insist on using your magic power to fulfill my wishes. If I can get the help of the king and the queen, I don't think all these difficulties are a problem, and I will find a way to solve them. ”

The Chaos King looked at Mephistopheles so adamantly, he looked at the 'Queen of the Night Realm' and hoped for her advice.

"I think as long as we can embarrass God, and we have nothing to lose, I think we should help this little guy."

The Queen of the Night Country reassured, the King of Chaos also felt justified, he and the Queen of the Night Kingdom each squeezed out a drop of blood mixed with each other, fused with each other in the air, and slowly fell towards Mephistophelis, Mephistophelis took out the container from his arms and took the dark blood, the result was pitiful, at most only half a cup, he hoped to get more, but was reprimanded by 'rumors', 'speculation', 'harassment', and 'chaos'.

The Lord of Chaos showed Mephistophelis the way to Earth, and he flew in the direction indicated by the Lord of Chaos, who shuddered behind him, "Go, accomplish this feat, and don't let us down again, bringing strife, slaughter, and violence to God's proud world." ”

He was full of ambition just now, but now he became extremely excited, holding the 'Lord of Chaos' and ' The queen of the night kingdom's potion together flew to the earth, he saw the whole country clearly, the heavenly kingdom high above exuded a bright light, the heavenly kingdom was still shining, his eyes were hurt by this light, he hated and hated this light, a huge golden chain locked the dome of the chaotic empire, and the chaotic empire was connected to the natural world, and under these two huge desolate empires was hell, and hell was much smaller than the desolate empire, he didn't care about these scenes, his current purpose was to fly to the earth immediately to spread this kind of dream of the results, and watch him blossom and bear fruit。

Because the words of the Lord of Chaos have been echoing in his ears, the first thing he did when he went to the human world was to find a group of humans to experiment, he wanted to add his own blood to merge with the 'blood of the ancestors', and use the 'blood of the ancestors' to weaken the dependence of the power of God on the souls of humans, and his own blood to provide the power of hell for the new humans. The gray sky, the scattered snowflakes left behind after the blizzard, now that the people are hiding in warm houses to keep warm, except for the hunters, everyone else is as free as possible from the outdoors, and from a distance a carriage full of goods comes, a young man walks with difficulty in front, the groom pulls the pegs of the horse, and the young assistant pushes the carriage behind, and the three of them are heading for a castle not far away, where they want to rest before dark.

The axles of the carriage creaked against the snow, the crows of the dusk hovered in the sky, standing on the dead branches and making that dull, ominous rattling sound, the winter night fell quickly, the sun sank into the mountains, the groom lit the headlights and continued on his way, the groom complained that even the horses were tired from the ghost weather, and a young gentleman was not infected by this weather, he had been on the road for a long time, and his face remained as excited as before, As he walked, he told the coachman and his assistant about things that they did not understand and were not interested in, and no one could understand what he was saying, and the coachman sometimes wondered if the owner was obsessed with the so-called science.

In this way, I walked through the forest path one foot deep and one foot shallow, and when it was time to pass the meal, I arrived at the stone bridge of the castle.

The sound of the latch knocking on the door, the wooden door creaked, and an old man opened the door followed by a guard with long hair, the old man held a lantern high, and saw a young man outside the door, with a fur cloak wrapped around his whole body, and a top hat on his head, standing outside and trembling his body.

"Hello, may I ask this lord, why is you knocking on the door so late?"

The young man touched the brim of his hat with his finger and said, "Hello, I am from the south of England and I am Morpheus. Torr. Lord Phyllis, my assistant and the coachman and I have travelled here, we have recently been in a snowstorm overnight, we have not had a good rest for several days, we are all too tired to walk, and the horses need some forage, I would like to spend the night here, let us rest, I can pay the corresponding remuneration and commission, and we will leave tomorrow early without disturbing the rest of the owner of the castle, I do not know if it is convenient, please let me know. After saying that, he handed the old man a family crest badge that he had brought with him.

The old man took the golden family crest and looked at it, looking up at this young man, he became a lord at such a young age, and the strength of the family was self-evident.

"Oh, then, Lord Phyllis, I'll go and inform my master at once, please wait here, and I'll be back soon." With that, the old man slammed the door back shut.

Soon the old man opened the gate again, greeted them in, he arranged for the servants to settle the carriage of the groom and the goods, and took the groom and his assistant to the kitchen to eat, and the old man led the man Phyllis into the main hall of the castle, and when he entered the gate, the servant took the initiative to take Phyllis's fur coat and hat, and he took his silver-headed cane and stopped to look at the magnificent layout of the castle, and admired the great achievements of the castle master, who was also a theocratic knight.

There were several huge oil portraits of people hanging in the hall of the fire, looking at the lifelike portraits, Lord Phyllis turned to the old man and asked, "May I ask ...... you?"

"Master, I'm Francis, the butler here, whatever you need, you can tell me, and I'll help you out."

"Presumably these lifelike portraits are the owners of this place."

"Yes, it is my master, the Duke of Herbert, and the Duke is also a model of the theocratic knight who protects the Church, and the Herbert family has always religiously upheld the status of the Church." The old butler is respectful and shows the highest and most sincere courtesy to the guests who come from afar.

Phyllis sighed, "It is a great honor to meet Lord Duke Herbert today. ”

"Yes, Lord Phyllis, please come this way, I have prepared a sumptuous dinner with you, accompanied by the Duke himself, I hope you enjoy everything here."

Phyllis smiled and nodded, and followed the butler into the dining room, the fireplace was already blazing, and the warmth and serenity filled the whole room, the room was already lit with candles, the huge long table was made of fine mahogany, and the smell of wood filled the whole hall, the silver cutlery and wine vessels also shone in the candlelight, all the cutlery was ready, ready for the master and guests to dine, the servant pulled out the chair for Phyllis, he sat on the soft cushions, the stiff spine of his back slowly relaxed.

The butler took out the wine vessel and said, "Master Phyllis, please order an aperitif, the dishes will be coming soon, I hope today's lamb chops will make you appetite." ”

"Thank you very much, Francis."

"My lord will be here in a moment, please wait a moment."

Phyllis tasted delicious wine, which brought him physical pleasure, made him even more jealous of human life, which is a pleasure that cannot be obtained in hell, and also hated God for giving the best of all things to mankind, and fragile life is consuming the best things, and he is even more determined to make God lose face because of injustice.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open by the butler, and from the outside came a burly middle-aged man, walking with a calm footstep, wearing a red robe in a silk and wool mixed blouse, and wearing a prince and nobleman's temperament, this is the owner of the castle, Duke Herbert.

"Good evening, Lord Phyllis from afar."

Phyllis stood up and gave courtesy, holding a broad, powerful and rough hand, a brave and warlike hand that held a weapon for many years, and he was a devout believer, and the gold cross around his neck showed his status and faith, and his vigorous and resolute style did not excite, and the two of them sat down directly.

The two had a sumptuous dinner, and Phyllis recounted his experience of traveling to other countries, from taking a boat to the East to appreciate the vast civilization of China and the strength of the empire, and visiting India to visit the nobles and ruins there, and then to Persia to learn the knowledge there, and describing the majesty and splendor of Rome vividly, etc., Herbert was surprised by the strange things on the way, and he never felt so rich and interesting.

Phyllis put away his words and asked curiously, "Dear Duke Herbert, with all due respect, I have observed a trace of annoyance and uneasiness in your eyes, I would like to ask you what makes you so anxious and melancholy?" ”

Herbert secretly agreed in his heart that the lord in front of him had such good eyesight, and the pain he had been hiding in his heart made him see it at a glance.

He sighed and said, "To tell you, honorable Lord Phyllis, there are indeed some things that make my heart ache and grieve, but I don't know how to deal with them, and I don't want to show my uneasy look, and since you have asked, I will tell you the truth." ”

"I would love to hear from you, and if I could, I would like to repay you for your hospitality, Duke Herbert." Phyllis rests one elbow on the arm of the chair in a curious, listening gesture.

"To tell you the truth, Lord Phyllis, my beautiful wife and I are faithful believers in God, my beautiful wife and I pray daily with sincerity, we keep God's teachings and commandments, we sing praises of God's merits and virtues, and God's mercy has sent me a beautiful daughter, a happy family, unfortunately God wants to take my beautiful wife and end my happiness......" Herbert wept secretly at this point, and he wiped away the tears and continued: "She is in a very bad condition, and weakness is crushing her bodyI prayed to God every day that God would send down the light to save my wife, but God did not answer my request, and my wife's life was passing day by day, and I guessed that my wife would soon be at a great end, which really made me unhappy. Herbert said that at the end, his expression was very painful and tears were left.

"Oh God." Phyllis exclaimed. "How unfair, how could God give up the request of such a devout believer, it was so unfair, was he ready to disappoint such a happy couple? It's just infuriating. ”

Herbert did not stop Phyllis from denouncing God, he took a sip of wine to stabilize his mood, and put the glass down, "Yes, I think so too, I am really very sad, we are so humble and respectful, but we cannot meet my little request, I now doubt that God really exists." His face glowed red.

His devout faith is wavering, and it's a good one, and it's the opportunity I've been waiting for.

"Dear Duke Herbert, I have traveled so many countries, and I have found that God is not what we advertise, no one has seen God's true face, God has not shown miracles in front of the public, everything is just a word of rumors from ignorant people, those legends are rumors, just exaggerated beautiful stories, I think we should believe more in the power of science, only science is what we should really believe in' God, this is the only way to cure our diseases, to make our wishes come true, to help us increase our production and to bring us wealth, this is something that is really in front of us, and I think we should give up that illusory thing and go to science that gives me practical results. ”

"I don't know what you mean, you're very rebellious when you say that." It was the first time Herbert had heard such a rebellious word, and he held back his inner unhappiness, but he did not want to give up the opportunity to save his wife.
