Chapter 555: Qualifications and Conditions
A group of inquisitors of the living Inquisition. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Simply priceless!
At the beginning of the Golden Age, the Order, the Holy City, the nations, and even the human world used the power to create a miracle to open up the dark world.
Each of them is the elite and genius of the human world, and the money and materials spent to build them far exceed the amount of green gold that is equal to them.
Spread light to the world of darkness, open up the wasteland into fertile soil, and shine human civilization into the deepest depths of darkness......
They remained a myth until the arrival of the 'Great Retreat', which was swept by natural disasters.
Ye Qingxuan never thought that the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine would still preserve their existence!
Even if it is no longer the strongest first generation of people, even if it is the last generation before it is disbanded, even if it has nothing, it is dying, and it is dying...... They must still have the power they once had!
It was not a movement that could destroy mountains and rivers with the power of a thousand, but something more essential, something more essential that only the Inquisition could survive and create a steady stream of new inquisitors.
"Elder Stone, you should know that I am here to restore the Inquisition. ”
Ye Qingxuan looked at him, and his voice was solemn: "I promise you in the name of the sword bearer, if you help me save Anglo, then I will give you all the support on behalf of Anglu and supply all the material resources and talents you need."
Regardless of the attitude of the nations and holy cities, I will re-establish the Inquisition, and this time I will bring with me four hundred organists, enough to re-establish a new 'Witch's Hammer', a new Knights of Judgment......
I can assure you that you will establish your own armed group in the territory of Anglo, without the control of anyone but me, not even the Emperor of Anglo.
It's like the Chainsaw Brothers, as long as you follow me, I can give you the status and treatment they have in the land of Canaan. ”
Silent.
In the silence, there was only the noise of the group of old people scuffling outside the curtain.
Stone lowered his eyes, as if he was considering, but he looked like he was in a daze, just looking at the air in front of him, even if it was empty.
After a long time, he made a sound:
"I see. ”
But nothing else.
Ye Qingxuan frowned.
"Elder Stone, I feel that I have done everything I can to give with all sincerity and what I can, and I don't like to pretend to be high-level negotiations and trivial arguments. If you're expecting a higher price tag, I can't help it. ”
Stone sighed.
He raised his fingers, scratched his sad face, and made a voice with metal vocal cords: "Mr. Ye, do you know what my original position in the Inquisition was?"
Ye Qingxuan waited silently for an answer.
"Accounting. ”
Stone smiled, "I'm an accountant. ”
Ye Qingxuan was stunned.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I'm not a Purification Knight or Inquisitor, or even a Monk or a Priest. Stone chuckled, as if he had been looking forward to Ye Qingxuan's devastated expression:
"The year before last, the last great knight had died. I'm the only one who survived. ”
"Do you need an accountant? Mr. Ye, an accountant who takes accounts, lends money, and avoids taxes for you?" he said, "I promise, I'm the best."
In the name of the Holy City, I even lent war loans and bonds to the emperors of the nations, mercilessly taking away huge sums of interest from them every year, turning them into the Inquisition, the hammer of witches, and the printing press of the Templars......
But do you need someone like that?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. Our time has passed, so please don't be strong. ”
"Haven't you thought about re-establishing the Inquisition? ”
Ye Qingxuan looked at him and asked word by word, "Never?"
Stone laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I'm very old, Mr. Ye. ”
Stone whispered, "I'm two hundred and thirty years old, and few people can live as long as I do. I gave up a lot of things in order to survive. ”
He stretched out his hand, opened the curtain, showed Ye Qingxuan the hustle and bustle outside the curtain, and pointed to the old men who were slightly younger than him: "Look at them, they are still dreaming unrealistically."
And I'm so alive that I just want to die. ”
His words were filled with exhaustion from the heart, and he did not hide it, revealing his ugly face to the young man in front of him: "What you said just now is very good, all are good, they are all very precious opportunities, but for me...... Worthless. ”
Worthless.
Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes.
In the long dead silence, there was only the hustle and bustle outside the curtain, and Ye Qingxuan's low breathing.
After a long time, he raised his eyes again, looked at Stone, and asked word by word:
"You don't think I'm qualified to be a Grand Inquisitor. You are telling me these things to make me give up my thoughts. You'd rather bury the place of judgment in the grave than deliver it into my hands.
Because in your opinion, I am not qualified to inherit the property that belongs to you, right?"
Facing the young man's sharp eyes, Stone smiled.
He nodded.
Unabashedly showed his attitude.
"You're right. ”
"Who do you think is more qualified than me?"
Stone shook his head.
"It's not because of that, Mr. Ye, it's not. ”
His voice was hoarse: "If you don't bring this holy belt here today, you will see me in the welcoming procession the first moment you go to the island."
Next, I will pray for you to help us rebuild the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, and to ask for the help and strength of Anglo to continue the Congregation of the Doctrine at all costs, even if it is to kneel, even if it turns all the people into Anglo's mercenaries......"
He said, "You want our movement, our technology, our manpower, I can give it to you." But you're not here for that, are you?"
He raised his palm and held the holy belt in his palm:
"You want it, you want the Inquisition, but you can't. ”
Stone Says:
"- Impossible. ”
"Why?" Ye Qingxuan asked, "Because Michelle died because of me?"
"Of course not. ”
Stone seemed to have heard a joke: "There are more people in the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine who have died because of others, and the Grand Inquisitor has not killed his own people, don't say Michelle, even if you kill me, crush my bones to ashes, and sprinkle them into the sea as bait, no one will say anything."
But, Mr. Ye, you have to understand that 'Grand Inquisitor' is not just a title.
It's a lot of people's beliefs, you know? It's a lot of ...... The name of those who have died at all costs, sacrifices and fights. ”
Ye Qingxuan listened quietly, and bowed his head:
"So I don't deserve it?"
Stone waved his hand, "Do you know what a natural disaster is?"
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
No one in this world knows better than himself what a natural disaster is.
But Stone looked at him:
"I know your resume and deeds, and in this respect there are only a handful of people in the world who can compare with you, not even among the great inquisitors of all ages.
But Mr. Ye, do you know what a natural disaster is for ordinary people?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"Huge, terrifying, powerful, immortal...... Do you know how ordinary people feel when faced with natural disasters?"
Stone asked: "When I see an existence beyond human imagination, that kind of despair and powerlessness come from the bottom of my heart. After the perspective beyond the ordinary, thinking and doubting the meaning of human existence, laughing at and feeling guilty about the small self...... Can you feel it?"
"Can you face a natural disaster?"
Stone's voice continued: "It's not just you, but a group of people, thousands, tens of thousands, with those who look forward to you, those who trust you, and those who entrust their lives in your hands without hesitation......"
"Can you lead such people? give them the courage to fight against endless demons, impossible natural disasters, to fight for that glimmer of hope. ”
He looked at Ye Qingxuan, and his metal vocal cords made a hoarse voice of steel rubbing: "Then, can you mercilessly give the order to annihilate their entire army for the sake of victory?"
Can you make a big gamble with this world at all costs, even if it is to pull all the nations into the abyss, and gamble with all human beings?"
He asked, "Can you?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"This is a war, Mr. Ye, a war between humans and non-humans, a war that began in the Dark Ages, continues to the present, and will continue into the future. ”
Blow its trumpet.
This is the essence of the Grand Inquisitor and the Inquisition. ”
After a long silence, Ye Qingxuan smiled, as if laughing at himself:
"What do you want? What do you want...... Is this it?"
"Mr. Ye, I have already said: I am old, so old that I just want to die. ”
Stone closed his eyes wearily, "I just want to have a place to bury myself in the future, to die at the hands of the enemy in a glorious war, and to leave my bones on the battlefield."
Can you help me find that battlefield?
Can you find a battlefield worthy of our bloodshed, suffering, life, and soul-burning to step on?"
In the long silence, Ye Qingxuan suddenly laughed.
Laugh easily and happily.
"Well, let me change the conditions. ”
He looked at the old man in front of him and said indifferently:
"Is it enough for you to die on the way to the Crusade?"
Dead.
The deathly silence came suddenly.
In an instant, it was as if even the sound of breathing had disappeared.
Even the group of old people who were intoxicated with the deduction of battle flags and sweet dreams came to an abrupt halt, and everyone turned their heads stiffly and stared at Ye Qingxuan.
In the old and cloudy pupils, there was a red light.
Like a flame that never goes out in the embers.
Fanatical and dangerous.
Burn to ashes this guy who joked about the dream they would never forget!
It was like a longing, longing for something so far away that it almost didn't exist.
"Crusade?"
Stone no longer pretended to sleep, he opened his eyes, and the old man's languidness and politeness faded in favor of an iron hideousness.
He looked at Ye Qingxuan: "You said the Eastern Crusade?"
"That's right, the Tenth Crusade. ”
Ye Qingxuan said: "The real crusade, the real exploration, all the way to the easternmost part of Asgard, rebuild the White Stone Fortress, and penetrate the dark world." ”
"Can you do it?"
Shi Stone's body leaned forward, dragging the heavy restraints, looking at Ye Qingxuan, as if pressing a sword, his eyes became cold:
"Can you do it?" Ye Qingxuan!" (To be continued.) )
