"I can do it, Elder Stone, of course I can. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ye Qingxuan replied calmly.

It was like describing things that were taken for granted, predicting a predetermined future to them, but the tone was not proud, nor impassioned, but just cold:

"As long as the industrial reform is accelerated first, and the Stirling external combustion engine type 2 that has been mothballed by the Royal Research Institute can be restarted.

Productivity will then be lifted across the board, and the lord system will be reopened.

I will promote a new generation of merchants and factory owners into the aristocracy, and weed out the old aristocratic faction that was clinging to its territory and population.

A large number of people will lose their land and choose to work in factories.

Within two years, the excess productive forces will have nowhere to be spent, and the high tax rates will be imposed on the lower classes of the common people through the policies of the upper classes, and the milk will be poured into the Thames because it cannot be sold.

The merchant aristocracy, eager for higher status, and the transformed and impoverished commoner class will begin to crave new land and markets, more opportunities to get rich and avenues to rise, and force the country to invade, to open up, to find new capital......

At that time, the 'Eastern Crusade' will come to fruition. ”

Looking at the stunned old people, Ye Qingxuan's face was expressionless, but it looked like a monster finally showing its teeth, revealing its hideousness in the dark.

"I can do it, Elder Stone, it's too easy. If you just want this, I'll do it better than anyone else. ”

He slowly got up, met those stunned eyes forward, looked down, looked down at the old man in the cable, and told him: "Not only that, I will use the excuse of saving the world to seize more power, and use the Eastern Crusade as an excuse to send people to the battlefield in a steady stream, and use war to plunder more and more power......

In the silence, only the muddy breathing of the old people was heard.

It was the ecstasy of the frenzy of war in my heart that was ignited, and when I embarked on the road to a sweet dream.

And also...... A hint of shock that could not be concealed.

It was as if a mortal raised his head and looked up at the huge shadow that covered the heavens, and an indescribable awe rose in his heart.

In the silence, there was a noise in the distance.

The sudden sound of the bell rang from the very top of the fortress, sharp and high-pitched, like the mournful screech of a crow, signaling the arrival of something ominous.

Outside the window, in the sea of darkness, the flames danced restlessly, illuminating the shadows that emerged in the sea, one after another, hundreds and thousands, and they came with the waves.

It seems endless.

There was a foul smell in the wind.

Hurried footsteps sounded from outside the gate, and Carol half-knelt outside the door, pushed open a gap, and reported: "The speed of the ocean currents has increased, they are coming early, please follow me to the underground shelter." ”

There was silence, no one responded.

In the gradual hissing, Stone lowered his head in thought, like a stone statue.

Only the monotonous sound of life-sustaining machines echoing through the room.

For a long time, for a long time.

"What exactly do you want, Ye Qingxuan?"

The old man slowly raised his head, stared into the young man's eyes, and re-examined his face, redefining what he saw.

He asked, "If that's all you want, then what are you up to?"

"For the sake of power, of course, Elder Stone. ”

Ye Qingxuan replied calmly, unabashedly, "I want to gain power, and I want to gain the power that everyone wants to look up to me."

If Anglo can give me power, I'll save Anglo. If the Holy City stands in front of me, then I will declare war on the Order.

I want to change the world, and no one can stop me.

The Crusade is only a small part of the plan for me, whether it is a glorious death, the rebuilding of a new Inquisition, or a sacred Crusades, I will give it to you.

Please pledge your allegiance to me, Elder. ”

The white-haired young man looked at him and told him:

"--I have more things that can change the world!"

In silence, Stone stared into his eyes.

The cloudy pupils turned red, and an inhuman aura rose from the decaying shell. Weariness and sleepiness were gone, replaced by an iron glow.

It is like a dying demon that opens its eyes and stares at the person in front of it, its eyes like a burning blade, trying to tear through all pretense and cowardice, distinguish between truth and falsehood, and penetrate lies.

But he couldn't see anything.

In those dark eyes, there seemed to be a huge wind tunnel, quiet and deep, constantly swallowing all suffering into it, never to return.

"It's like returning to the ruins. ”

Stone raised his hand, wanting to caress those eyes, but he didn't dare to offend in awe. For a long time, he picked up the holy belt in his hand towards Ye Qingxuan, as if holding a heavy crown.

He said, "Keep your head down." ”

Ye Qingxuan bent down, half-knelt on the ground, and let him put the solemn holy belt on his shoulder.

This time, the dark golden scriptures above the sacred belt were no longer silent, as if the souls in the eternal sleep had been awakened, and they glowed with the glow of the scorching sun, burning hot.

Ye Qingxuan got up, looked at the holy belt on his shoulder, and then heard a uniform voice.

It was all the old men who took a step forward at the same time, and they were half-kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads, and offering their loyalty without hesitation.

The sound of the sword being drawn rang out.

On top of the iron chair, Stone reached out and pulled out his rusty saber in the dark compartment.

The heavy sword, which had been sealed in the darkness for a long time, trembled, burst into a dragon groan, and shook off the rust and dust.

The mottled cracks and gaps could not hide the terrifying sharpness, and it had its own majesty.

In the lit night outside the window and the scorching night wind, the emaciated old man propped himself up, dragging countless cables and electric shocks forward.

Facing Ye Qingxuan, he knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and presented his sword to Ye Qingxuan.

"The war is about to begin. ”

Stone prayed softly, "Please bless us, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor." ”

Ye Qingxuan clenched the hilt of the sword and lifted it up, but he heard an illusionary roar, and suddenly there was a mountain of shouts in the quiet room.

It was the sonorous sound of countless iron armor rubbing, and the invisible souls seemed to return as a legion, entrusting the last obsession and remnants to the sword.

Then the hilt of the sword was as hot as scorching iron.

Immediately after, the spine of the sword rested on Stone's shoulder.

Ye Qingxuan looked down on him and read God's will to him:

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, who does not stand in the way of sinners, who does not sit in the seat of mockery, but who loves the law of righteousness, and thinks day and night, and to whom glory is given." ”

"All earthly glory be to you, Your Excellency. ”

The old men responded in unison in hoarse voices.

Ye Qingxuan lifted Stone from the ground and returned his sword to him. Stone used his sword as a staff to support his body.

Sacoly-clad attendants entered through the side door, quickly removing his cumbersome robes, putting on his steel skeleton, unplugging the cables, and wrying the new machinery back into his body.

Soon, Stone's emaciated body was covered in layers of steel. The heart rate monitor, the blood pump, the fluid balance system, the spinal syringe, the intracranial oxygen supply system, and finally, the mask made of cold steel.

Oxygen smelling of engine oil poured into the lungs, revitalizing the dying flame in the lungs.

"Please watch with me. ”

Stone inserted the saber into the scabbard at his waist, manipulated the steel bone forward, and led Ye Qingxuan forward: "Let me show you the way of war of the Witch's Hammer." ”

Ye Qingxuan walked in the front and smiled:

"Well, I'll see. (To be continued.) )
