"Mr. Leonardo da Vinci. ”

The young glorified man looked at the middle-aged gentleman in front of him, lowered his gaze respectfully, and did not look at the other party: "I have a reluctant request." ”

He bowed.

The head of the Order's Equipment Department did not speak, but folded his hands in a listening posture.

"I have a friend," Amy deliberately slowed down to give herself a relatively good time to think, "he fought with me until the last moment—the Demon King Mammon tried to invade his body after being slain by me, but failed—and it left these words before dying. ”

Just the right pause.

"-You, you! How the hell did you provoke that being!"

After repeating the last words of the demon king who only existed in the illusion, the Glorious One pursed his lips: "At that time...... I don't know exactly what 'that being' refers to, just amazed and ecstatic, but now that I think about it, it's probably referring to the Lord of the Old Days that you are talking about. ”

The voice fell, and there was no response.

The alchemist standing on the side of truth was silent for a long time before nodding his head and saying a "yes" that was not salty.

Obviously, the only one who can make the false demon king who acts as the ultimate defense system in the fantasy realm so out of shape is the ancient god who once ruled the old world.

This is the information that Amy deliberately revealed.

The Order's disagreement with the Glorious One does not mean that he has to sit idly by and ignore the actions of the old rulers—after all, the minutiae of the path of divergent ideas and uneven distribution of interests are of no importance in the face of the overall situation of human existence.

Because, under the erosion of chaos, the sowing of darkness, and the cloud of death, everyone is equal.

Against demons, against darkness, against chaos -

This is the common interest of mankind and the general righteousness.

Amy, as far as she can, naturally does not hesitate to provide a little intelligence support to her allies who are also on the side of the order - of course, if she is within her power and does not harm herself.

It would be foolish to directly state the name of the King in Yellow, or to confess that he had ever met the incarnation of the Old Dominator.

What did he use to explain why he was still quite rational and still alive and standing here unscathed after encountering the old lord who lost his mind even by looking at him and felt that he knew that he existed, and became an out-and-out monster under the erosion of chaos.

Even if the Order, represented by Leonardo da Vinci, is willing to believe in his innocence, a rigorous scrutiny is necessary, which not only means that a lot of time is wasted, but also greatly increases the risk of his exposure.

The glorious man is not a bad person, and he will not do this kind of thing that harms himself and fulfills others.

So, he only picks what he can say.

Corbock is an excellent place to start, on the one hand, the demon king did say something similar, and on the other hand, Amy, who is blind to the current situation, can only help the Order, more precisely, the Order's higher-ups who can interfere with this trial.

Wish...... It's still too late.

The young Glory Man sighed, vaguely prepared for the worst.

"It's a pity," said the relieved middle-aged gentleman, cane, his eyes downcast, and a hint of hoarseness in his voice, "Cow Burke is not one of those lucky ones. ”

"So," Amy paused, "and he ...... He's dead. ”

"Maybe it's worse than death. Leonardo da Vinci shook his head and gave the answer, the answer that the young man in front of him cared about, "You are the last resuscitator, and the process from your consciousness to the awakening of your body functions lasts for a full three days, and you will not be able to carry the power in the stigma, according to the situation at that time, it is very likely that it will explode with a 'bang' - but the others are not as lucky as you, they either survived by luck and became the losers of the glory of the sword-wielder, or they simply had no bones left." ”

"What do you mean...... "The Glory Person, who has long been mentally prepared, is not difficult to accept this result," ...... Cow Burke.

"I never said he was either of the two," Leonardo da Vinci continued, "and he was a special case, the only one of a thousand people. ”

"What do you mean?"

"He, gone, lost. The middle-aged gentleman said word by word, "It means literally, in his dormancy chamber we found no flesh, no corpses, nothing." ”

"What does that mean?" Amy asked.

"I don't know," Leonardo da Vinci said quite calmly, "and perhaps no one will know—for humanity will never be able to understand a monster without reason or intellect from the height of the old dominators." ”

Could the King in Yellow be a monster with no reason or any intellect?

Not.

The glorious man who had met him knew this, but he would not arbitrarily dismiss da Vinci's claims, for he was equally ignorant of the gods who had ruled the past.

"But I am sure," continued the middle-aged gentleman, "that the next meeting between you is not destined to be pleasant. ”

"Hmm. ”

In response, Amy didn't take the implicit advice of Leonardo da Vinci's words to heart - he was never an indecisive person, and he would never be ambiguous when necessary, let alone ...... Rather than thinking about the distant future of the reunion of the demon in his form, it is more accurate, there are more realistic, more practical, and more pressing problems in front of him.

That's the true ending about Pandimaninan and about the Demon King Mammon.

Although the essence of the false trial of Pandimaninan and the greedy demon king in the false trial conducted by simulating the five senses or some other means is only an insignificant phantom, or a simple data stream that cannot be simpler, since they can exist so realistically in this false illusion, and everything is available, then the Order must have a template that can reproduce them.

And in the midst of that, there must be a real history.

He wanted to know that history.

Because—

Care.

He cared, cared about what Mammon had said to get his attention.

"The king is not human. ”

A simple sentence full of gimmicks, but for no reason, completely based on his own intuition, based on his own instincts, he felt...... Perhaps Mammon wasn't lying.

King.

Is the king who rules over mankind, over the territory of order, and immortal, really human?

The life span of human beings is extremely extreme, in the era of the pre-ancient kings, ordinary people can live to about 100 without disasters and diseases, and the glorious ones usually have a lifespan of 120 years, and even live to 15 to 200 if they live long, as for the chosen ones, because the sample is too small, there is a lack of reliable statistics, but according to some folklore and legends, they can probably live to more than 200, but that's all.

In the long history of mankind, no one lives forever.

The longevity of the Yuan is not the others, but the earth god who continues to exist in the living Canaan of the Order in the form of an eternal sleep.

According to Jiasu, he lived for nearly a thousand years from the end of the pre-ancient kings to the present.

Although he was much longer than the "kings" of the pre-ancient kings, and was revered as sacred by the Order, no one considered him immortal.

On the contrary, almost every king who died in battle because of the tide of darkness and chaos was regarded as immortal and immortal—even if they were just ordinary chosen ones before they experienced the ritual of the fire bearer, but after bathing in the mountains and being crowned, they all stood above the mortal world and became immortal "kings".

Is it because of the sacredness attached to kingship?

This explanation makes sense.

But Amy doesn't think the answer will be so simple, after all, all the glorious people who inherit the surname are the ruling class at the top of the power pyramid, and there are even some families who have really produced kings, in common sense, as the closest to the royal power, even if they pay the greatest respect to the owner of the Iron Throne, there is no reason to sanctify it and elevate it to the supreme one close to the gods.

It's just that...... His suspicions are nothing more than conjectures based on "maybe", and evidence that cannot be inferred.

The answer to this question may be to ask the real Mammon, or the Order with whom Mammon has dealt with her, and may even have killed her.

But...... How to ask.

The Glorious One knows very well that this kind of information related to the truth of the world is a real top secret anywhere, and it is absolutely impossible for him to access this level in his current capacity.

And Leonardo da Vinci, the head of the equipment department who favored him, and this big man who occupied a place even in the headquarters of the Order, might be a good breakthrough.

However, how to break through?

It's a real problem.

The topic just now was still in the Old Dominator, and it was still in Cowbock, why did it suddenly turn to Mammon?

Such an unnatural transition is too easy to make people suspicious, right?

Although it doesn't make sense in theory, I often don't know where to talk about it in daily life, but Amy, who is not innocent in her own life, doesn't want to leave a handle because of this.

So, there must be a suitable excuse for insertion.

For example—

Pandora.

Pandora's Seven Sins.

Mammon of greed may be a good place to start.

He thought, and then opened the conversation with this: "Monsieur da Vinci, it is not only Mammon's words that confuse me, but it also reminds me of something undesirable - you know, I am from Hemtica, and in that city I saw a monster...... A true monster, I learned her name from the Glory, Pandora. ”

"Pandora ......" As a high-ranking member of the Order, Leonardo da Vinci was no stranger to this name, "It is indeed a great monster." ”

It's just that, for some reason, Amy not only can't hear the disgust from the mouth of the middle-aged gentleman, but ...... Faintly felt his trembling, his ...... Glad?

"Greed," but now is not the time to delve into this, the Honorable Ones suppress the doubts that have arisen in their hearts, "she—Pandora once unleashed a monster in the name of greed in battle. ”

This was an outright lie, and although he later learned about Pandora's "Seven Sins Sect" from Jiasu, he never met the envoys in the name of humanity's great sins when he was hunted down by her.

Fortunately, the transmission of information was blocked in the middle of the night, and there was no reason for Leonardo da Vinci to know the details of the battlefield on the other side of the order.

This gives him, quite a bit of room to maneuver.

However...... Unexpectedly, the follow-up questions he prepared did not come in handy, and the middle-aged gentleman who loved cats fell headlong into the language trap he had preset.

"That's right," said Leonardo da Vinci after a short silence, uttering in a calm tone that surprised the Glory, "you guessed it right—the Mammon of Greed is the demon that Pandora possesses, or rather, one of the elements that make her up. ”

One of Pandora's Seven Sins Sect is the greedy demon king who once destroyed Pandimaninan and sacrificed dozens or even millions of people?

Of all the speculations Amy had before, even the most bizarre one had to bow down to reality.

Just now...... Not the time to delve into this.

Therefore, the Glory One simply asked, "Mammon, one of the Four Demon Kings in the middle of the Pre-Ancient Kings, and Pandora, and the Chaos Sect, they seem to have appeared a little earlier. ”

Stunned, he directly told the historical details that "Judas" should not have known.

Even without noticing.

On the other hand, Da Vinci, who was in a certain state of excitement, didn't care about the abnormality of the young man, but just gave an explanation quite casually: "At that time, Pandora was not yet a complete body, and what she embodied in the Seven Sins Sect was only arrogance, the life created based on the trampling of the gods by human beings, the synthetic life, one of the ultimate achievements of alchemy, and the final crystallization of the human body from nothing." ”

The alchemist who is on the side of truth has completely forgotten the existence of the Glorious One when he talks about his field of expertise.

"And how did 'greed' fall into her hands?" Pandora's background - it was a surprise, but Amy hadn't forgotten his original purpose, "Judging from the situation in the illusion, the Order should be imperative for Pandimaninan and the Demon King Mammon. ”

There will be such detailed information on those stone tablets in the Temple of the Dead City, it can only be said that ...... The Order was well prepared, and the enemy who needed to be cautious from one of the two poles of order was Mammon alone in Pandimaninan.

But in the end, it was Pandora of the Chaos Sect who took the fruits of victory.

A lot must have happened in the meantime.

And it is very likely that it involves the true secrets of the territory of order - after all, whether it is the demon king Mammon or Pandora, they are both peak powerhouses who stand at the peak of the territory of order and have experienced hundreds of years of time polishing, their cognition of this world will never stay on the superficial surface, and it is not surprising to know that part of the world is true.

But to the surprise and even horror of the Glory, it was Leonardo da Vinci's answer.

"Not really," said the middle-aged gentleman nonchalantly, "it's part of the deal. ”

After the words fell, before Amy could sort through the enormous amount of information contained in them, the Order's magnate narrowed his eyes, a dangerous reflection on the edge of the lens of his glasses:

"Sorry...... I just said something I shouldn't have said?"

"So- I'm sorry. ”

"Don't worry, it won't hurt, it's just a moment. ”

In a light-hearted, playful and slightly helpless tone, the alchemist who is on the side of truth speaks extremely dangerous words.

And then—

Acted upon.
