56. Cannibal
The wind whistled over the castle like a soundtrack, but everyone knew that there was no need for and should not have a soundtrack at this time.
Modal stood at the door of his castle, waiting quietly, and Albert put away his hippie smile and looked at the two black dots on the long road below, with the same serious face.
As he drew closer, Mordal clasped both hands on top of his staff, as if trying to crush the ornate cane. Albert placed his hand gently on his heart.
East and Anderson had already made their way through the lower town, heading straight for the castle in the upper town. On both sides of the road stood instead of well-dressed orcs, but extraordinarily well-dressed blood maidens stood on both sides of the road.
With every step Easter and Anderson took forward, the Bloodmaidens on the side of the road respectfully performed a court court.
Anderson's eyes narrowed, his body exuding terrifying killing intent, and he followed behind Esther like a minion. Easter, on the other hand, was calmer than him, and he didn't see any joy or anger on his face, just walking slowly step by step.
The central axis of the huge city is also the central axis of the entire Bloodline region. At that time, when the twelve cities were divided, they were also measured. At this time, Esther was in the center of the strict meaning of the entire blood clan.
"Welcome, my king. Modal whispered, looking at Esther, who had walked in front of him.
"You know it's me?" asked Easter.
"No, there is no need to be sure that you are you, my king. As long as it's you for us, that's enough. Albert humbly said, "I haven't seen you for a thousand years, and you're still the same, King." β
"You didn't like to call me king so much, Albert. Esther looked at the poet to the side and said, "You too, have never changed, Albert." β
"That's because I already know what I am like as a person, the years have not made me think, time has not made me precipitate, pain has not made me reflect, I am a hopeless person. Even if you save that damned prison, even if you help lift your throne with a kick, even if you are cursed by the Light. β
"I am still me, the wind cannot make me tremble, the water cannot make me grateful, the thunder cannot make me awe-inspired, the fire cannot warm me, the earth cannot bind my heart, the sky cannot carry my fantasies. β
"I am the most useless person in this life, and I am also the freest person in this life, and I give everything I have to that dream of freedom, and I indulge in it. I'm a madman, I'm a wise man, and I'm who I am. β
Albert chanted like a mad poet and a pastor praying before the dead.
"You are who you are, and you have never changed, so I said you have the qualifications to join us, because you have the closest soul to freedom, but you are never really free. Glad you are, too. Esther said with a smile.
"Of course, of course, what imprisons my whole body, my whole soul, and stuffs me into this prison, is freedom itself? Albert said with a strange courtesy.
Esther didn't answer his words, but looked at Modal who was standing in the darkness.
"It's been a long time, Mordal, your city is as gorgeous as you are. I love the decorations, how many undead adorn here? 100,000, millions, 10 million, or more?" asked Easter.
"Innumerable, as you said, real capital, as far as it is concerned, only cares about the income and expenditure in its own hands, and as for life, it is good to put it into expenditure according to its value. Modal whispered, "You taught me how stupid the so-called aristocracy is to use their own people. Brainwashing over and over again makes them believe that it is the masses who need the nobility to guide them, just like the pigs in their pigsty need masters. β
"Instead of this kind of low-level brainwashing, it is better to set a trap that is sweet enough for them to willingly give their lives. Make them believe that the world is fair, and make them believe that they can live better if they work hard. By burning these more convenient things into their blood, unconsciously servility has taken root. This is called capitalistic brainwashing. β
"The next thing I need to do is to slaughter the occasional enlightened people and let them remain ignorant forever. Modal said coldly: "Isn't this what you taught me? Overdraw the potential of a society, satisfy a small part of the wealth, first concentrate on cultivating a part of the rich, and then continue to increase the gap between the rich and the poor." β
"The first rich exploit the later rich, and while the total wealth of the whole grows, the vast majority of the wealth is sacrificed to ensure false prosperity. That's what you've taught me, the so-called aristocracy, they're too naΓ―ve, aren't they?" asked Mordal.
Esther looked at Modal in front of him and said word by word, "Yes." Modal, I'm glad that you're one of the best people with me in the end. β
"You told me you were going to show me a new path, Easter. "So I waited, I didn't see anything, I just saw a different way of plundering and exploitation." β
"You told me that there is equality in this world, and I waited, but even death has a choice. Modal said.
"You told me there was freedom in this world, and I sought it, but only locked myself in a new cage. Albert said.
"There has never been any freedom or equality, it's just a drunkard's dream. Albert said respectfully: "This is the truth you have given us, the truth of this world, that is, the organic entity spliced together by countless lies, I call him, despair." β
"Despair to give all right is all we seek, my God. Modal said suddenly.
"I am still the cannibal, the strong devour the weak and survive, this is the truth of the world. Just as there are always shadows under the sun, we can't create a world shrouded in shadows, because only light makes shadows. β
Esther listened to his two former subordinates without saying a word, and Anderson listened from the side of his god.
It's like a drug addict confessing to his priest, he will buy drugs in the first alley when he turns left out of the church, and then he will continue to use drugs and continue to repent.
The god seems to be a man who has forgiven everything, but how can he really care about the original sin of this life.
"Everything in this world is dark in itself, so why forgive it by the shadows. Everything in this world is itself balanced, how can it be changed by me. Instead of saving the world from falsehood, I pushed him into the abyss, didn't I?" said Easter with a chuckle.
"So, this is the world I've changed!"
"People who want to see equality, as I say, begin to exploit in the most efficient way. β
"People who want to be free, and what I think, put themselves in a cage. β
"I swore to bring dignity to the people of the world, and in the end, I left a world full of holes. I should have thought of it a long time ago, didn't I? It's obviously two worlds, how can they use each other?"
"I know the laws of shadow and become a god by it, but I am as weak as a baby for the so-called rules of the world. That's all in the end. β
For some reason, Esther burst out laughing.
In the underground secret room, Ralph looked at the information fed back by the circle in front of him expressionlessly, but Frank was smiling at this time. It seems that he is very satisfied with everything in front of him.
