Chapter 196: Parting Ways

The other two people who escaped from the chaos were naturally Barot and Atholl.

Although Arthur is not strong, his judgment of the crisis is still very accurate.

Clearly judging that it was dangerous to stay back, he pulled Barot and escaped at the moment when the nobles' counterattack began.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the time, the two of them were unaware and successfully got out of the battlefield.

After escaping, he first hid in a house in the upper city occupied by civilians.

By the time all the civilians were coming to the aid of the battlefield, and the streets began to become quiet, almost empty.

The two of them walked out of hiding together, and then quickly ran towards the outskirts of the Steel City.

The moment they finally stepped out of the Iron City, both of them fell to the ground panting.

The frightened running all the way really made the two of them consume a lot of physical strength and were in a state of physical and mental exhaustion.

After a long breath, Barot sat up and said, "We have escaped, what are you going to do next?"

Arthur still lay on the ground and said: "What else can I plan, now there are wars everywhere, of course, to the west, hoping to find the territory of our twelve golden nobles, or the army, which can be sheltered." ”

Barot turned his head to look at Atholl, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go to church with me, with Teacher Cotro here, we should be fine." ”

Arthur shook his head, "No, I'm not going to see Cothro, he's no longer my teacher. ”

Barot sighed helplessly: "Are you still blaming, the teacher threw you back to the family back then, and let you be sent to the Viscount of Lane?"

Arthur fell silent and lay there thinking for a long time: "No, in fact, I don't blame him anymore. ”

Barot asked a little puzzled, "Since you don't blame the teacher, why don't you want to meet the teacher?"

Arthur sat up: "I don't think it's necessary to see him again, we have gone down different paths, and we are destined to go in opposite directions. ”

Hearing this, Barot was very puzzled: "Contrary to the truth?

Arthur sneered and replied, "Sun God?" Hahaha, do you really believe that there will be any sun god?"

In a word, Barot was speechless, and he didn't know whether to believe that the sun god was real?

Seeing that his friend was speechless, Arthur continued: "Even if the sun god exists, then it will not be able to redeem us. ”

"Therefore, I will not return to the Holy See, I will go and find my way, the way that belongs to my Atholl. ”

Hearing this, Barot also didn't know how to answer, or Barot never thought about this question.

For Barot, his initial goal of survival was to prove to the family that even if he could not inherit everything from the family, he could create his own glory with his own hands.

After entering the Académie des Popes and finally successfully graduating, he was personally awarded the title by the Pope.

The moment he became Lord of the Empire, Barot felt that all his hard work had paid off, and that he had got everything he wanted.

However, when he took the badge of the Lord in his hand and returned to his hometown to meet his father.

But he found that everything he had gained did not attract even the slightest attention from his father.

For his father, it seems that his lord is just a title, a dispensable brand.

At that moment, when I saw everything in my father's land, I saw the rich farmland, and I saw the inheritance that belonged to my father.

And the brother who doesn't have to do anything, just waits for his father's title.

and the brothers and sisters who are intriguing and trying to get a share of their father's business.

Barot finally understood that everything he had gained, and the effort he had put in, was nothing to mention in the eyes of his father and siblings.

Because my father was born with a knighthood, and my eldest brother is about to inherit my father's title.

Those siblings don't need a title at all, they just need their father to give them an inheritance, and then they can live the rest of their lives without worry.

It turns out that I was not the same kind of person as them from the beginning, and I didn't need to compare myself with those people at all.

Because from the very beginning, the father and siblings were not their opponents and never had been.

Away from his hometown, Barot was in a state of confusion for a long time, the kind of lost soul that had lost his purpose.

At one point, Barot wasted everything, feeling like a dispensable dregs.

Just when he was on the verge of despair, Cotro appeared, a man who had succeeded in giving Barot a new purpose.

To this day, Barot remembers that under the control of his own scheme, he killed a lord with his own hands, and took back the lord's estate and handed it over to the Holy See.

On that day, a lord who turned his back on the sun god was duly punished, and the sun god took back everything that belonged to the sun.

received Cotro's praise, and that moment really made Barot suddenly see the meaning of life again.

It turns out that he is valuable, and he is needed by the supreme sun god, which is beyond the comprehension of all ordinary people.

From that day on, Barot was reborn, he no longer lived to prove himself, he lived for the sun god.

But today, when he suddenly heard Ather say that he wanted to live for himself, Barot suddenly realized that he had not thought about it that way at all.

But after a short period of confusion, Barot thought to himself: sure enough, Arthur was not needed by the sun god, and he was.

Arthur didn't know what Barot was thinking, and seeing that Barot was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but speak: "Since you are going back to the church, then let's separate here, I hope you can gain your own value from the sun god." ”

Seeing Arthur stand up, Barot also stood up, and the two friends who were about to part ways hugged one last time.

When they separated again, the two took steps towards their own paths.

After walking a little way, Arthur turned back again and looked in the direction of his friend.

Barot didn't look back, he seemed more determined about his path and didn't need to look back at anyone else.

Seeing Barot's determined back, Arthur couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it looks like I'm going to lose another friend." ”

"What does it matter if a friend is lost? The so-called old does not go to the new, and we can become new friends. ”

The sudden sound made Arthur instantly creepy, and a biting chill hit behind him, making Arthur shiver.

Then, slowly turning, Arthur saw the most terrifying scene he would never forget.
