Chapter 530: The Estrangement of Loyalty
After listening to Chu Ming's words, Draenor simply sat down, he put his hand on his chest, and said slowly: "If digging out the heart can prove it, it is not a difficult thing. The one I respect most in my life is General Pros, who is dead. And I just learned that his death was more complicated than I thought. General Pross's teacher, Speaker Sylvanas of the House of Lords. I used to think she was a person of integrity and trustworthiness. However, I was told today that Speaker Sylvanas was actually the one who led the death of General Pros, which is the sad card of the moderate hardliners. The death of General Pross was a weight in their political struggle. Haha β
Draenor laughed, his laughter so sad, as if he wanted to mock everything, including himself.
"I'm not surprised, and I'm not interested." Chu Ming shook his head, he was already desperate.
"Then tell me something you might be interested in." Draenor quickly reined in his emotions as he sat down on the icy slab floor of the Imperial High Law Prison. He stretched out a hand and grasped an iron bar, the knuckles of his hand protruding, and the blue brilliance burned.
Draenor said slowly, "Skin is armor, blue forging is a weaponβthis is the Templar symbol." The Sanctuary does not need equipment, they can forge it themselves. The body can be forged into armor, and metal can be forged into weapons. Blue is a type of energy, so it can also be a forged flame. This kind of flame is what we call 'instrument flame'. β
Draenor said, the iron bar dissolving in Draenor's hand, changing shape from time to time. The molecular structure of this piece of iron has changed, becoming denser and more solid. The corners of Draenor's mouth twitched, and the topic introduced a more subtle scope:
"I know that you are very good at substitution, and you are more powerful than I guessed. You'll quickly understand how the 'Flame Works'. But I can tell you up front that the Templar actually needs equipment too. β
Draenor threw away the piece of iron, and he flattened his right hand, where there was a ring on one of the five fingers. Draenor turned the ring with his left hand. The ring is unpretentious.
Chu Ming turned his head, he was a little curious, looking at the ring, Chu Ming thought for a while and asked, "There should be more than one, right?" β
"Haha Smarter than I guessed. There's another one on my back, set on my spine. The Templar doesn't need to be equipped - it's an illusion. Both 'Skin' and 'Blue Forging' require an exclusive artifact, and these two artifacts are the secrets of the Templar, and no one can say secrets. This ring is the heart of my weapon. The sanctuary is called the 'Mother of Arms', and the other is called the 'Armored Soul'. It's the heart of my armor. Both of these things are the work of Master Isser Kafi. Master Isekafi is an eighth-level Holy Hand Maker, a substitute creator who can be described as 'great'. I think you'll get to his point. β
"It's interesting, go on, the dead will keep it a secret." Chu Ming also sat down, and there was a trace of fatigue in his calm expression, which could prove that he was no longer indifferent.
"Dead people can keep secrets. They don't care about secrets. Draenor said with a smile, he stared into Chu Ming's eyes, and his voice lowered: "The Holy Hall has secrets, this is their way of protecting themselves. Only the Templars communicate these things. There is another thing that the Holy Church knows, but they don't communicate with each other, do you know what it is? β
Chu Ming thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do." β
"Oh-" Draenor nodded with relief, "It's finally reassuring, if you don't even know this, I don't know how surprised Lu Dao should be." This is the Templar's greatest secret. It's about their lives. Do you know why the Dao Sanctuary is so powerful? What can the human body be so powerful? β
"I don't know how to overcome the limits of the body. Theoretically, the human body has unlimited potential. But the flesh cannot. That's why Wu Tixiu put himself into the mecha produced by others. β
"Yes, you're right about the essence, you're not simple. In fact, the secret is very simple, that is, do not treat this body as your own. Draenor pointed to his chest and said, "Strip your spiritual power and life force from your body, so you can transform your body infinitely." Do you understand? β
"Very clear." Chu Ming nodded, he himself had always been in this state, what he wanted to do was to fuse instead of peel off.
"It's good to understand. Think of the body as a 'substitute', so it can be as powerful as possible. And the spiritual power and vitality are condensed in a 'core', which is the 'life core'. This is the Templar's greatest secret, and the most effective way to kill a Templar is to destroy his 'life core'. Therefore, each church does not tell anyone the location of his 'life core', which is their cover door. β
"Do you want me to kill you? But I can't even cut a bar of soap right now. Chu Ming smiled and quietly waited for Draenor's next words. Draenor said so much, then he must have a purpose. This is the high-security Imperial High Law Prison, a place where even the Holy Church cannot come and go freely. And, even if there were a prison robber, it would never be the "loyal" Captain of the Draenor Guard.
"Miss Fillier is dead. The chief of staff of Cenarius also died. Suddenly and calmly, Draenor made a shocking announcement.
"Oh." Chu Ming responded indifferently.
"You won't be surprised, you should have guessed. However, the news shocked me. Even now, when I say it, I'm just as shocked, every time. Chief of Staff Cenarius died of a cerebral hemorrhage, while Miss Fillier committed suicide out of despair. The military gave her a dignified cause of death and a solemn funeral, and the death report stated that she had died in battle. β
"Sacrifice?! Hehe" Chu Ming smiled: "According to my understanding, the original meaning of sacrifice is to sacrifice livestock, but the Bolgeti League is a place of 'etiquette'. β
"Yes, politics is a wonderful thing, and it makes sense to kill, and the people who are killed and who commit suicide think they deserve to die. General Prows is dead, Co-Chairman Murphylin is dead, Chief of Staff Cenarius is dead, Miss Fillier is dead, and then, you will die too. The top brass of the former 507 Guards collapsed. If I don't understand that this is a conspiracy at this point, then I'm too stupid. Now that I think about it, this ending was doomed from the beginning of our first disobedience. The people above wanted us to attack the Huntingtons, but General Prows, along with you, turned some people's wishes into a joust. Thereupon. They felt like we were out of control, so they did it. β
"It's not that simple, but it must be simply a business for them. But you're still alive? Isn't it? Chu Ming asked rhetorically.
"yes, that's the most painful thing." Draenor sighed, "My mission is to protect the top of the 507 Guard, and my guard and I used to be proud of it. But now, the people who are protected are dead. Only one joke remains. I'm the leader of a bunch of losers, a great joke. Just now, I disbanded this 'joke', and thankfully. This is a right within my mandate. β
Chu Ming looked at Draenor, and his serious expression relaxed. He also sighed, and in turn comforted: "Draenor, at least you are 'loyal', I am not laughing at you when I say this." If you don't even have that, you'll have nothing. In fact, everyone has faith, and loyalty is your faith. And the freedom is mine. β
Draenor shook his head: "Loyalty is not my only faith, I also believe in justice. Now, the two faiths are in conflict, and I can't choose. β
"You've chosen."
"Nope! When I knew the truth of the Dao, I knew that the choice I made before the Dao was wrong. β
"You can't choose ...... again"
"Yes, I can't choose again." Draenor fell silent after saying this. After a long time, he raised his head again, and there was irrepressible sadness in his expression: "I once criticized Crickalis, saying that he is not a person who knows his mistakes and corrects them. I thought I could make a mistake and fix it. But when a mistake is too big to be undone. I don't know how to correct it. I was confused, I didn't know what to do. β
Chu Ming looked at Draenor, and from his expression, he could see that Draenor was not pretending, the spiritual pillar in his heart had collapsed, and a strong Sanctuary had been defeated from the inside. Perhaps this is also something that some people want to see, and Draenor is also considered to be the former high-ranking of the 507 Guard.
Rather than begging for forgiveness, Draenor said to himself, "I want to kill, but I don't know who to kill." I wanted to shout, but I couldn't. Do you know how it feels? I can't even say to people, except you. However, you are also dying. What should I do? β
"There will be a way to live."
"Nope! I can't. This breath has been in my chest for a long time, it will suffocate me! Draenor thumped his chest as if there was a struggling monster there.
"If you die, you're only fulfilling someone's wishes. Politicians always keep secrets like this, they only believe in the dead. β
"I know that I am also unwilling. But this time, I was defeated, and I was defeated. β
"Have you made up your mind? Kill yourself or find a chance to die in battle? Chu Ming didn't insist anymore, some people and some things can't be changed, just like Chu Ming himself.
"I like you, I like your directness and candour." Draenor's expression gradually calmed down, and he turned the ring on his finger and said, "Killed in battle?" Hehe, that's not for me, a grand funeral is a shame for me. I don't need this ring, so I'll give it to you. Hopefully when we meet underground, you can give it back to me. Plus, there's one more thingβ"
Draenor jerked to his feet, his body as if it had been hit by an incendiary bomb, and suddenly burst into flames of blue. In the midst of the flames, Draenor stood straight, gave a standard military salute, and then said in a loud voice:
"Report to the Chief of Staff of the Special Adviser, the 507 Guards Sky Guard is unable to fulfill its mission, and I request that it be dealt with under Article 31 of the Military Law of the 507 Guards. Since then, I have disbanded the Sky Guard in my authority. And I, the request is dealt with under Article 42 of the 507 Guards Military Law. β
