Chapter XVIII Departure III

Late at night on the third day, when Persephone drove back to Leeds in her classic car again, Oberenne and Elena were gone, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. Soon, however, she noticed that the people in the town were looking at her strangely. The next day, the old man at the bar found her, and after some conversation, Persephone learned the root of the strange attitude of the townspeople.

It turned out that she was no longer welcome in them.

Oberen's method was simple, he simply told the people of the town that Persephone was the man of the Speaker Bebraz's ambitions, and that if he knew that she was here, the Speaker's army would come sooner or later, and anything that stood in the way of the Speaker's army would be crushed to ashes. To the residents of Leeds who had taken her in and spent time with her, the Speaker's army would never be polite. Therefore, Persephone turned into a disaster that would bring ruin to the town.

No one remembers that if it weren't for Persephone, Leeds would have been captured by an armed mob a month ago. No one remembers that the weapons they held were ten out of the wilderness that she had brought back and sold to them at a very low price. There may be people who remember this, such as the old man in the bar, but compared to the whole town, they are only a small part of the people, and they do not represent and influence the will of other people. Everyone likes Persephone, but liking doesn't mean being willing to fight or die for her.

After a night of contemplation, the townspeople's remaining guilt settled, and they became more able to think rationally. Persephone remained, and they were doomed. She is gone, and it is possible that they will survive in the mercy of the Speaker. Hopelessness and a glimmer of life are such simple multiple-choice questions, and most people choose their answers.

Persephone doesn't blame them, and in the face of real death threats, few people don't think about themselves. So knowing what was going on, Persephone packed her little packing and threw it into the back of the classic car, ready to leave the place at dawn the next day.

As for where to go, she hadn't thought about it yet, and she didn't want to think about it, it didn't make a difference anywhere anyway.

But it wasn't just Persephone on that old pickup, it was Rudick and his two brothers.

When Persephone decides to leave, Rudick also packs up simple things and wants to go with her. Looking at the strong man who kept scratching his head, Persephone said at the time: "I have a man and a child. ”

Rudick thought for a moment and said, "But I have been paid by you and have to work for you for a while." ”

So there were three more people on the pickup.

The smoke and dust from the classic car went all the way away. At the top of the hill where Ludendorff had stayed, Oberene lowered his binoculars and stood silently. After a while, Elena appeared beside him silently. She was in town just now, watching Persephone leave.

"That guy named Rudick is quite courageous." Oberyen said.

Elena said coldly: "There is only a thin line between courage and stupidity. This kind of Cheng dΓΉ's battle is also something he can meddle in? ”

Oberen sighed softly and said, "The priest said that without courage, miracles lose their foundation. ”

"What that guy who doesn't have the slightest ability can say seriously? Look at this world, if there really is a god, then God must be blind. Elena sarcastically said mercilessly.

Oberen shook his head and said, "The priest is incapable, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have wisdom. In fact, if you put aside the veneer of religion, I think he is one of the few wise men I have ever met who can understand the nature of this world. ”

"How can there be wisdom without power? The brain efficiency of capable people is several times or even tens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people! ”

"Intelligence is not the same as wisdom."

They argued as they left the hill. Oberen and Elena are no longer as rigid and monotonous as they were at the beginning, and in Elena's words, there is a real communication beyond regular mating. Oberen was very erudite, and he dabbled in art and religion, which were very rare subjects in this era. Elena, on the other hand, tends to see things from the other extreme, sometimes overly realistic, cold, and utilitarian. But it is undeniable that the serious discussion from different angles did inspire the two people's thinking, and thus have a deeper understanding. More realistically, they are also capable of being in the spell domain, but their styles are very different, with Elena being more obsessed with violent energy, while Oberen prefers nuanced control. The constant collision of the two paths allowed them both to go further on the path of spell-like magic.

The relationship between them is changing quietly but rapidly, and life and death are indeed the best melting pot, and countless battles side by side have gradually melted the two people closer. This is one of the reasons why Persephone did not feel the slightest hostility towards Elena when they met again.

Perhaps the only crack is Elena's dedication to the perfect offspring. Until now, there has not been a single offspring that has satisfied her. With her extraordinarily powerful abilities, even a small fertilized egg can test whether it is possible to give birth to a perfect human being beyond one qiΔ“.

For any offspring that is not perfect, Elena will ruthlessly destroy it. Although she didn't know what a perfect creature should look like, it was enough to have the ability to find what wasn't perfect.

Oberen and Elena hurried back to the north, without whom the Arthur family's front would be in danger. Powerful people are the heart and soul of an army, and now the attack of the Calamity Scorpion is indeed crazy, and there are even a large number of cultivated soldiers carrying high explosives on their backs, rushing into the battle line in a suicidal posture, and then detonating the explosives, and the enemy guarding the position will die together.

Fighting with the army of cultivated people is a headache for any commander.

The source of the headache for the entire Arthur family, the temporary brain and creator of the Calamity Scorpion, Generalissimo Diaste now has his own troubles, and the self-proclaimed title of Generalissimo does not allow him to get even temporary satisfaction. At this moment, he was sitting in a wheeled armored personnel carrier, galloping towards the Western Front at maximum speed. The armored vehicle had long since been converted into a command vehicle, which was stuffed with instruments such as intelligence, communication, and battlefield analysis, as well as survival and movement, so it had to sacrifice space and comfort. After adding the title of generalissimo to himself, Diaste's weight also rose in a straight line, and he increased by dozens of kilograms. The wide and fat body felt very crowded in the command car, and it was impossible to stuff those female adjutants who he liked to train people very much.

P: It's later. X
