Chapter 253 What you know you can't do
The bell-ringer's words gave Soth nowhere to vent the anger in his chest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And Zhou Mo is also angry now.
"The Blade of Dawn has been taken away by the blasphemers of the Redemption Society, how can you let me go to Her Majesty the Empress? Do you want to see me, Lord of the Principality of Platinum, Sadjvan, making a fool of myself in the court, in front of Her Majesty?"
"If this is your plan, then I tell you, before I make a fool of myself, I must cut off your face and use it as a prop for me to entertain Her Majesty!"
His Majesty Platinum's roar made the entire City Lord's Mansion quiet to the extreme, whether it was Lady Soraya or the servants at the bottom, they all breathed carefully, for fear that this terrible anger would befall them because of a little accident.
As for the envoy of Her Majesty the Empress, who had been standing at ninety degrees bowed and standing in this position for a full quarter of an hour, he was even more drenched in cold sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to drip from his sideburns, breaking into several petals on the stall.
"Dear Majesty Platinum, there is absolutely no disrespect for you in your subordinates, but Her Majesty's will is here, as the Empress's envoy, please understand our duty!"
Zhou Mo looked down at the empress envoy and continued to roar:
"The Empress's will is for me to take the Dawning Blade to the audience, and now, the Dawning Blade doesn't know where it is, are you urging me to go to the imperial capital at the behest of Her Majesty?"
The waiter was speechless.
Zhou Mo still has something to say:
"You are qualified to stand before me because you are the emissary of Her Majesty the Empress Nalon, so it is best to find out what Her Majesty will give you when you make a request to the lord of a principality!"
The messenger's sweat became colder and colder, and the temperature of his whole body seemed to be drained away with Zhou Mo's roar, and His Majesty Platinum, who was standing in front of him and roaring, the murderous aura and majesty on his body made it difficult for him to breathe, and every roar sounded in his ears, like the murmur of death, making him worry that his life would not belong to him in the next moment.
"Yes, Honor, Your Majesty, it was my mistake, and I beg your pardon for my haste and carelessness with Her Majesty's will!" the messenger's instinct told him that if the anger of His Majesty in front of him burned any longer, he would not be stingy in taking their lives as fuel.
Hearing the envoy's apology, Zhou Mo nodded and scolded:
"Then get out, when you leave, I will inform you! The specific matter, after arriving in the imperial capital, this king will explain it directly to Her Majesty the Empress!"
The envoy sweated profusely and walked out of the city lord's mansion, and the passing knights cast inquiring eyes, but the envoy only lowered his eyes, although he represented Her Majesty the Empress, but his own status was very different from His Majesty Platinum, and the decision to come to the temptation this time was really a little immeasurable.
After the envoy left, Lady Soraya came to the main hall, only to find His Majesty Sadivan calmly tasting the desserts, without the slightest hint of anger.
"Your Majesty, after all, that envoy on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress, and the request he put forward is also within the scope of his authority, if you continue to force it like this, will it be difficult to explain it to Her Majesty the Empress at that time?"
Zhou Mo glanced at the woman and said:
"It's not something you should worry about, don't worry, sometimes it's a matter of guessing people's hearts and cooking good food, heat is the key, now is the time to simmer in the heat, and you have as much time as possible. ”
Soraya nodded as if she didn't understand, and then reported:
"The army has already scraped the entire Critical City, but unfortunately your subordinates are really excellent, they haven't even found a clue, the Divine Judgment Knights are on fire in the barracks, and the garrison guards outside the Critical City are already exhausted, if there are no two platinum knights you brought to press there, those Divine Judgment Knights have already demolished the barracks several times!"
"What are they doing? They also participated in the search, we didn't find anyone, didn't they find it all night?" Zhou Mo frowned.
Soraya spread her hands helplessly and said:
"Your Majesty, their team battle and two knights are missing, they disappeared when the army covered the entire Critical City, according to the analysis of the scene, it should have been a battle with the people of the Redemption Society, and then they were defeated and captured, and the people of the army analyzed the situation to them, but they were regarded as an insult by those proud fellows, so they made a fuss in the name of the incompetence of the army and the inability to catch the felons of the Holy See, and even threatened that if the army of the Principality of Platinum was incompetent, they could request support from the Holy See in the imperial capital. ”
Zhou Mo sneered and asked the Imperial Capital Holy See for support? What kind of nonsense is this, the remaining people in the Imperial Capital Holy See at this time are estimated to only have two or three big cats and small kittens, how can they give them any support.
"Very good, send a message, call the bishop of Platinum City to me, the trouble of the Holy See, let their own people appease!"
Soraya nodded, and then said:
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the public ** subordinate is almost dead in this turmoil, but the Critical City is indispensable for these people, as soon as the male ** subordinates die, the operation of the city will immediately be in trouble, and please give your Majesty some support to the Critical City!"
This incident made Zhou Mo embarrassed, most of the public ** subordinates came from the war ten years ago, where did he find so many prisoners of war to be slaves for Soraya at this time?
"A city can't run without some slaves? you have to figure it out for yourself, and if you can't figure it out, let your bureaucrats do the work area that the slaves are responsible for!"
Soraya bit her silver teeth lightly, with His Majesty Platinum's words, her work in Critical City would be much easier to do, and she just took the opportunity to pull out some jubilant bureaucrats and install her own henchmen by the way.
"Understood, Your Majesty, rest assured, Soraya will take care of all the troubles. ”
After speaking, Soraya looked at Zhou Mo's expression, and saw that His Majesty had no intention of letting her stay here, so she bowed down and retreated.
Soraya retreated, Zhou Mo's eyes shone brightly, this woman is really not simple, she can seize every opportunity to reap the benefits in her own hands.
This is very similar to Zhou Mo.
"Let's take a look!" was very hesitant in his heart about how to deal with the woman Soraya, and Zhou Mo decided to observe for a while.
"Sometimes trouble can be turned into good!" touched the chin that had stubble out, Zhou Mo's eyes were unpredictable.
Among the bell towers.
Soth and the bell-ringer share a lunch.
Although today's lunch was large, it was still a little bit insufficient for two big men.
"Young man, it seems that there are also your people in this Jeff mansion!"
In one sentence, the cold hairs on Suos's whole body stood up, what he was most afraid of was that because of himself, he would even affect the innocent and kind An Jie'er.
"What are you talking about?" Thoss tried to keep his voice steady.
The bell-ringer, as if I knew everything, pointed to the lunch in front of the two of them and said:
"Those shit in the big kitchen won't be so kind, what was frightened yesterday, eat more to suppress the shock, shit, if they have this kindness, the old man will hang his head on the pendulum!"
"No wonder your people are in the big kitchen, the food in the house has never been able to get up, it turns out that moths have come in!"
Soth was completely helpless with this old man who treated him as a tree hole and had no way to vent his desire to speak.
If the food in Viscount Jeff's mansion can't be done, can it also be related to the Redemption Society?
"Old man, our Redemption Society is committed to overthrowing the rule of false gods, restoring the glory of the true gods, and breaking the oppression of the people by the nobles and the Holy See.
The bell ringer, after thinking about it, felt that what Soth said made sense, and said:
"That's right, if your people really got into the big kitchen, then the people in this house should have been poisoned a long time ago, not just the food!"
Soth wanted to strangle the old man to death.
"So, your people are not in the big kitchen anymore? Who is that so short-eyed, and even a good life, and a relationship with people like you, it's too depraved!" the old man shook his head and sighed, which made Soth lose his temper completely.
"Don't guess, it's just that you didn't ring the bell on time last night, and Viscount Jeff felt that you were quieted, so as to show a little meaning, the nobles buy people's hearts and minds always work!"
The bell ringer shrugged his shoulders absently and said:
"Speaking of buying people's hearts, Lord Viscount has at least shown the benefits that we can see, but what about you, a group of hooligan bandits, apart from sabotage, what benefits have they brought us?"
"It's embarrassing to say that you want to overthrow the rule of the Holy See, and you still spit blasphemous words, it's really beyond your strength!"
Soth's face became serious, and he looked at the bell-ringer and said:
"Yes, we are self-sufficient, we don't have an army, we don't have high-level life, we don't even have a decent life evolution method, the people who take refuge in us are generally wanted criminals who have no way out, and villains who do all kinds of evil, just like that, in order to survive, for development, in order to have the strength to do something we should do, we are still persevering, or fighting!"
"What are we for? I am a black iron life, even if the combat power is not as strong as the Holy See or the official black iron life, but if you want to live a good life, it is not difficult!"
"Why should I walk in the darkness of which you speak, and why should I endure your reproach and still hold on to this path?"
"Is it for myself?"
Soth glared at the bell-ringer, wanting him to give him an answer.
The bell-ringer also looked at Soth, his eyes rolling to catch a flaw in Soth's words.
"Before you joined the underworld, you didn't have a criminal record, didn't you join those bandits because you committed a crime?"
After thinking for a moment, the bell-ringer looked at Soth with the eyes of a fool.
Soth shook his head solemnly and said:
"I was not subjectively or objectively driven to join the underworld, completely out of my own volition, completely for the sake of that bright and sacred goal, to join and fight!"
The bell-ringer's gaze turned sympathetic to Suos, nodded affirmatively, and said:
"Then you're stupid!"
"Are you stupid to join the underworld and think about what your future holds? Are you stupid, and you want your children, your grandchildren, to be as stupid as you?"
"You are a black iron life, your child should have been born into a wealthy family, had the opportunity to receive a good education, and maybe under your teaching, he would become a nobleman, then your family would have prospered, and you would have lived like Viscount Jeff's family. ”
"Be respected, eat the best, dress the best, future generations can receive the best education, born superior, and you give up such an opportunity, give up such a life, your descendants will scold you!"
The idea of the bell-ringer is as simple as ever.
But he saw that there was a little more pity and a little envy in the eyes of Soth looking at him.
"What kind of eyes are you, am I not right?"
Sos says:
"I envy you and sympathize with you. ”
"Envy that you haven't seen the darkest part of the world, so that you are carefree and content with the status quo. ”
"Sympathize with you for not seeing the darkest part of the world, so that you can't tell what is light!"
"The aura of kindness in the aristocracy, the status of being respected by others, and the luxurious and luxurious life can provide a high starting point for the next generation. ”
"These things, you're right, I can easily have them if I want them, but it's not what I want. ”
"Because it's built on darkness, it's built on people living in suffering, it's deformed, it's not fair. ”
Soth's whispering made the bell-ringer somewhat suspicious of his own worldview, because Soth's words were too real and his attitude was too deep.
"Isn't it something that everyone will aspire to to be a nobleman, to be a clergyman, to live a life that everyone envies, and to have a position that everyone aspires to?"
"You take someone randomly, give him a choice, ask him, if his child has two chances, one chance will make this child a nobleman, and the other will make this child a criminal in the underworld. ”
"I think even if you ask all over the Frontier City, no one will choose the second chance!"
The bell ringer used this example to strengthen his worldview and values.
Soth leaned down slowly, and his face slowly approached the bell ringer:
"This is the trap of darkness, this is the magic of false gods, people are greedy for vanity, they don't know what is really glorious, they are greedy for enjoyment, they don't know what is really valuable, they are greedy for comfort, they don't know that there is something in this world that is worth fighting for!"
The bell-ringer's face was a little unnatural, and Soth's words made his heart weak, but he still forced himself to say:
"You want to overthrow the Holy See, to overthrow the Empire? But this is impossible to do, you have just wasted your youth, your life in vain, and in the end it is a waste, and this is not a good deal. ”
Soth shook his head, a proud and confident smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Old man, this is not a sale. ”
"What is that? What do you mean by light and struggle? What is that, I really don't know, old man, and I don't think most people know either!"
The old man was enraged by Soth's smile, and the irony in his words grew stronger.
"This is right and wrong, this is truth and heresy, this is light and darkness. ”
"Just because we cannot see the light, the truth, or the right, we should not think that what is wrong is right, for heresy is the truth, and darkness is light. ”
"In words you can understand, yes!"
Soth's eyes lit up at this time, not to describe, but really lit up, his eyes were pure white and holy.
"It's something I know is impossible to do, but it's right, it's right, it's bright, then, I know it's impossible, and I'm going to do it!"
