Chapter 85: Love and Peace
Such a meeting was completely unexpected by Linya, and she hurriedly folded her arms to her chest and saluted back, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty Cassirer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I am ......" Linya was talking when Cassirer had already stood up, and he smiled slightly: "I know who you are, Your Highness, and I also know why you came. But I'm sorry, I can't say yes to your request. ”
Linya was stunned, she didn't expect his refusal to come so quickly and so bluntly, which was really a big contrast with her previous polite attitude.
He really knew what he was doing here? It seemed that there should be no doubt that he was an archangel and must have some magical powers. Moreover, he obviously knew that he was an Atlantan, and his manners spoke for themselves.
Linya was a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say. "Can't you really think about it, Your Majesty Cassirer, can't you help so many human beings who have been oppressed, enslaved, and killed?"
"Your Highness, please sit down with your friends. After Linya sat down, Cassirer sat down on the chair opposite the three of them, and said with a long sigh of relief, "First of all, I am not Your Majesty. Gregory is a federal state of many tribes, not a kingdom. You can call me by my name, or you can call me Commander or Grand Commander. ”
"Secondly, you also understand that I am not human, and I can only sympathize with the suffering of the humans of Karabim. But if you know enough about Glesia, you'll understand that the human conditions in Karabim are not the worst, at least worse than in many of the countries ruled by humans themselves - at least most of the humans there can fill their stomachs without having to go hungry. ”
"But this is a humiliating life at the cost of life, what is the point of living without dignity?" Linya stood up excitedly and shouted angrily. Of course, her anger was not directed at Cassirer, and everyone understood that.
Cassirer sighed and said slowly for a long time, "Your Highness, I understand that you have never tasted hunger. Perhaps in your mind, dignity and freedom are above life and everything, but the reality is often not as good as you think. Look at those countries ruled by humans themselves, with harsh tax rates, harsh oppression, chaotic order, endless wars, and a hundred times more people who die at the hands of humans than humans who have become food for the blood?
The price of exchanging the lives of a small part of humanity for the rest of humanity is reasonable and fair if you can look at it from the perspective of a foreigner. While humans are ruled by blood, humans are also ruling over other races, and in those human realms, dwarves, elves, and orcs are sold as slaves, driven, whipped and killed. This world is not the perfect world you imagined, Your Highness. Death, destruction, oppression and enslavement are everywhere. ”
"Commander Cassirer, are you trying to persuade me to give up?" said Linya, sneering with anger.
"Yes. Your Highness, you probably don't know the true strength of Calabim, the power of the Blood King is not inferior to mine, and there are many of them. They will select the best individuals from the human race, and use the magic of the Bloodlines to transform them from humans to their own kind, which will keep them in strength. In this long time, they have already established a set of effective ways of rule, where humans have no ability or opportunity to resist, and their minds have long been enslaved and domesticated.
They have powerful armies and good leaders, and you are alone, and your divine power has not yet awakened, how can you possibly fight them?If you really want to help them, the right thing to do is to go home as soon as possible, let the divine power awaken, and make yourself extremely powerful, and at that time, you can do whatever you want. What do you think?"
Why did everyone insist that they were the moon goddess? Linya really didn't know if one day her true identity was revealed, these people would press herself to the ground and kill her. Actually, I don't want to be a moon goddess, but Linya feels that she is really a little difficult to ride a tiger now.
She didn't dare admit it, and she didn't deny it. But if she doesn't speak, others will think that she has acquiesced.
"I admit that Calabim is indeed strong, but Gregory is just as strong. If Commander Cassirer and Gregory were able to join the opposition against Karabim, it would not be impossible to defeat them, would it? I don't understand why you would not want to destroy these evil vampires? Your country is also made up of humans, don't you worry that one day the vampires will come and harm your people?
Let's put it simply, since vampires can live longer by sucking human blood, there is no doubt that there will be more and more vampires, and more and more humans will need food. The number of humans was limited, and the only option for the Bloods was to wage wars of aggression and plunder land and humans to maintain their pyramidal structure. And among the vampire's neighbors, Gregory is the only country with a large number of humans, do you think the peace between Calabim and Gregory can really last forever?"
Linya also knew that it was very difficult to persuade Cassirer to send troops with her own mouth, so she also thought a lot on the way here, and made up many reasons, hoping to start a role.
"Pyramids?" Cassirer asked, a little confused.
"Oh, that's it. Linya hurriedly summoned an earth-based magic and formed a miniature structure in the shape of a pyramid on the earth in the air. "It's a religious structure I've seen somewhere, with the foundation at the bottom, like the many Calabim humans who are at the bottom of the hierarchy. The middle and lower levels can be understood as the managers of the Karabim humans, who are responsible for helping the bloodline manage the lowest humans, and are a minority of the human race. The upper-middle class can be understood as the proto-human elite who have been transformed into bloodlines by the primordial vampires, who are responsible for managing armies and ruling institutions. The gold spires at the top can be seen as those of the Native Bloods, who are at the heart of this ruling body.
Such a model of architecture may be justified. But the problem is that once the number of the top and upper layers increases, then the number of the lower and lower layers must also increase accordingly, so that the rule of the state can be maintained, otherwise it will collapse immediately. And the reality is that the number of bloodlines is only increasing, so what will be the fate of such a pyramid? ”
Cassirer nodded slightly. "You're thinking far ahead and right, Your Highness. I've thought about these questions for a long time, but I'm afraid I have a different idea than you. War, I've seen too much, and death, for me is almost numb. Except for God, life is only once for everyone, and there is everything in life. And war can only bring endless death. Maybe the war you are talking about will come eventually, but at least for now, all I can do is to bring peace and beauty to the people and enjoy this happy time to the fullest. ”
Linya was also a little speechless for a while. As the ruler of this country, the first thing he wants to do is to ensure that his country is stable and peaceful, and that the people are happy, rather than wantonly waging war for the sake of others. There was nothing wrong with his decision.
"The people who live in Gregory are not only humans, but also many dwarves, elves, and orcs. All intelligent beings are completely equal in Gregory, including the Bloods. Of course, the Gregorian bloods could not harm humans, and they had learned to live on the blood of animals. You may laugh at the fact that I would have delusionally wanted to create a dream world of freedom and equality here, free from pain and hatred. But as you said, if we don't work hard for our dreams, they will never become reality.
Therefore, Gregory never took the initiative to provoke a war. But even if the war comes to us, we will not run away or fear, because I know that our people will fight to the death to defend their freedom and dreams. So, in any case, there is no reason for me to plunge our own people into such a pointless war for the sake of another human and blood conflict. ”
When he said this, Linya finally understood that she would not be able to convince him. He was a thoughtful, rational man, he had his own values and worldview system, and he was a good king. It is precisely because he is a good king who cherishes his people that it is impossible for him to come to help himself. Is my idea really ridiculous? Maybe.
"I see. Linya stood up and saluted the venerable archangel again, "Your Excellency Archangel Cassirer, you are a great ruler and it is a blessing for these people to be able to live in your kingdom. Farewell. It's an honor to meet you. By the way, I like what you said.
There is no heaven in this world, only a hell, and we live in it. With love, this world is a beautiful paradise, and without love, this world is a desolate hell. You have renounced your status as a god and descended into this desolate world, bringing a rare peace and tranquility to this war-torn land. You are a greatest angel of all. No matter what others think, but I want to say that you are a true hero. ”
Cassirer froze. After a while, he covered up his gaffe with a wry smile and said, "No, it's not what you imagined, Your Highness the Princess. Listen to me, give up, please don't risk your life, it's not worth it. I can understand your feelings as a human being, but this human body is just a temporary guest of your soul, you are God, the greatest God, and your life is related to the whole world!"
"Maybe I'm wrong. But I'm not going to give up. Linya sighed, bowed again, and turned to leave the palace.
"Little angel, please protect Her Royal Highness. When Chloe followed Linya and turned away, Cassirer couldn't help but say to her. Even if this little angel has never given himself a good face, it is nothing to him after thousands of years. Chloe gave him a blank look, and couldn't help but pout, "You still need to say this, damn fellow!"
Cassirer watched her figure disappear into the afterglow of the sunset, his eyes full of sadness, and his mood was extremely lost.
She forgot, she forgot everything. She had forgotten what she had ever said.
At this moment, Cassirer suddenly wanted to cry, wanted to cry happily, it seemed that only then could he release the sorrow that had been suppressed in his heart for thousands of years.
While indulging in his memories, the door was pushed open, and one of the three maidens who had been there had returned again, and it was Victoria.
"It's strange that the god of love and peace would ask you to start a war. Viktolea looked at Cassirer with a smirk.
Cassirer's face darkened. "There is nothing strange about this, it is precisely because she is so simple and kind, and it is precisely because of your incomprehensible love that she would delusionally provoke such a war of great disparity. Even after thousands of years, her nature is still there, and her heart is still so flawless. ”
"Well said, Cassirer. Victoria applauded. "Looks like you know her better. But it's hard for me to understand why you rejected her? I thought you would agree without hesitation, so that you could gain her affection, and even affection, don't you? Don't you worry about making her resentful of rejecting her? If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll really lose, Lord Cassirer, your rival is very strong. I think that for her sake, you did not hesitate to betray the divine realm and fall into mortal worlds, and now you finally have the opportunity to see each other again, but what you did really makes me wonder - is it because of the passage of time, you no longer love her?"
"You won't understand. She started the war out of love, and made a pact with Hybrem for peace, and I rejected her for peace, and she would never resent me for it. Cassirer had calmed down, "You don't know what you know about the past, did your master tell you, little fish? And what did you want to do here, little fish? Maybe you can fool her simple and ignorant trust, but you can't fool others." Tell me, what are the intrigues of you and your master?"
"Well, is there any conspiracy to stay with Her Highness the Princess?" said Victoria, with a pitiful look.
"Then I really can't think of the point of you deceiving her trust and staying by her side. You know, didn't you lie to her to unlock the seal of the Temple of Water? I'm afraid until now, she didn't know that she had unintentionally lifted the seal on the Temple of Water, right? As for what your master has done, you won't tell her at all, will you? As for what your master wants to do now that the seal is lifted, you don't plan to tell her, right?" Cassirer said mercilessly.
Victoria shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Then you say, what do I want to do if I stay with her? Maybe you can teach me?"
"I warn you that if you dare to harm Her Royal Highness, the two main gods may tear up the contract of the gods in a fit of anger for revenge, and I advise you and your master to think carefully. Cassirer warned.
"If hurting Her Highness the Princess is not good for my master, then what do you have to worry about?"
"Well, that's enough. What are you trying to do this time?"
"Ah, I almost forgot to get down to business. It's very simple, I want to borrow some money from Your Majesty to spend it, but it's for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I don't think you want us to pay it back, right?" Victoria grinned.
"You want to recruit mercenaries?" Cassirer reacted immediately.
However, Victoria seemed stunned for a moment, but she quickly smiled again, "That's a good idea, too." You want to be a good king, and you don't want your people to go to war, but you don't have to worry about spending some money to hire someone to fight, right?
But Cassirer shook his head again after thinking about it. "No, I still can't do that. The gold coins in the treasury belong to all the people of Gregory, and we will use them to buy food and clothing, to build roads and bridges, and to open up farmland and pastures, not to kill each other. Xiao Yu'er, if you want to be good for her, you should persuade her to give up this plan that is destined to be impossible to succeed. ”
"Alas...... You're stubborn...... Okay, okay, actually, you misunderstood. One thing you must know is that Her Royal Highness is not only a princess of the divine realm, even if she is reincarnated in the human world this time, she is also an extremely noble imperial princess, who has been cared for and protected since she was a child, and has been favored. I think we all felt that she should obediently stay in the palace on the castle, with fine clothes and food, and live this life carefree. This may be the best outcome.
But this time, when he arrived in Glesia, he was far from home, and even the last guard was lost...... This time we can also take the waterway to Cap City, there is a small sailboat in Lanun to sit on, but if the next stop is to go to the Red Canyon, the boat will definitely not be able to sit, but we don't have the money to buy a carriage or anything, it seems that we can only walk over or fly there with wings...... Are you sure you won't feel distressed, Your Majesty Cassirer?"
"Someone will deliver a best wagon and a hundred Gree gold coins to the port tomorrow morning. Cassirer nodded.
"That's right," Victoria suddenly remembered something as she was about to leave, and smiled again, "If I'm not mistaken, that sentence was actually said by Her Royal Highness the princess herself." Isn't that right?"
Cassirer looked at her coldly and nodded.
There is no heaven in this world, only a hell, and we live in it.
And everything he did was to turn this hell into a paradise of his dreams. For her.
