Chapter 1552: The So-Called Road
"Sit down...... Talk about? β
Ronald almost thought he had misheard.
In the past, when he was at war with the enemy, he usually came to make friendly negotiations. Then the two sides quickly collapsed, and finally split into life and death.
Who would have thought that when facing the leader of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], this enemy who can be regarded as the number one person since he crossed over.
The identity of this persuasion negotiation has been reversed.
For a moment, Ronald wanted to laugh for no reason.
Based on his own actual experience, he felt that the other party was playing a delaying trick with him.
But when the "Divine Comedy" spell spied on the other party's emotions, and saw the seriousness in Liya's gaze with his own eyes.
Ronald suddenly realized.
This man, not kidding himself!
Lilja Cologne, the current president of the Nine Rings Secret Society, is the greatest enemy of the Southern Voyage.
At this moment.
I want to talk to myself as an enemy from the bottom of my heart!
ββ¦β¦β
"You think you can convince me?"
Ronald was in disbelief.
His hand holding the sword of Santa Caterina did not relax in the slightest, and his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him:
"I have had such a long and intense conflict with your organization. In the end, you still think that we can solve our problems with conversation. β
Ronald had a word that didn't come out of his mouth.
- That's a bit naΓ―ve.
But there was not the slightest doubt in Lilya's eyes when he looked directly at Ronna, and his tone was unwavering:
"It's not like I'm trying to convince you, or to solve the problem of hatred."
"It's about at least really understanding the other person's thoughts and motives before fighting to the death. We have never even met before, and we should not simply act on hatred and contradiction. β
This makes so much sense that Ronald forgot to refute it for a moment.
At this time, Kostadt also circled to the side of the library.
The surging magic of the maid's body surged like ocean waves.
Ready to attack, she only needs Ronald's order, and she will blow the charge to start this battle.
Ronald was also unwilling to let the other party stall for time, and immediately gave instructions.
"Marda."
"If I'm not mistaken, that's your companion's name, right?"
At the moment when the battle was about to break out, Lierya suddenly said the name of the priest of the Holy Throne.
Ronald's movements stopped instantly.
And the president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] naturally took the opportunity to continue:
"If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't be able to find any trace of this companion by now. Even from this point of view, I think you should have a good talk with me. β
ββ¦β¦β
"You're threatening me?" Ronald's face was as low as water.
"It's not a threat, it's just a statement." Lilya, on the other hand, maintained a calm expression and remained unmoved, "Besides, a serious conversation will not do any harm to you and me. β
Ronald fell silent.
He could not have put the lives of his companions at risk.
On the other side, seeing that the threat he proposed was working, Lilya continued to chase after the victory:
"Mr. Ronald, I can assure you of her safety."
"Although the church has never had a good relationship with us, when the new world comes, I think wise people will also choose to let go of the hatreds and conflicts of the past and look at the new environment positively."
Ronald couldn't help but ask rhetorically:
"What you just said - people with strength should be responsible for the world. So what's your way of being responsible? Could it be that as we do today, we can break into a dangerous ruin that has been sealed for a long time, and then take out something equally dangerous to bring disaster? Is this your responsible initiative? β
Lilja smiled slightly:
"That's a bit one-sided."
"We are here to find the treasures of the past, and in doing so, to open the way for all to the future, there may be danger, but it is not our main purpose."
Lall noticed an important sentence in the other party's words:
"Unlocking people's paths to the future?"
Lil Adam answered:
"In the past, the mystical side, especially the upper echelons of spellcasters, mostly believed that mastering spells was a sign of detachment from the ordinary class. For them, this is not even a change in identity and rights, but as an essential division of life. β
Ronald continued to ask rhetorically:
"So you mean- you don't think so?"
Lilya nodded immediately, and her voice became louder:
"Of course!"
"You know, five years ago, I was just a mortal who couldn't master spell casting. Even though I have a lot of strength now, I understand how weak I used to be. β
"Spells come from the original texts, and people master the original texts and learn spells."
In other words, spells are just an acquired trait, and everyone has the potential to become a spellcaster. And mastering this ability is not an essential change at all. The essence of having power is like the difference between an unarmed man and a man with a sharp blade. β
Ronald continued along with the other party's words:
"So your purpose is to get everyone in the world to learn spells and plunge into the sea of the occult?"
Lilya's expression gradually became insolent:
"Of course, and that's not all!"
"Although the power of spells does not change the essence, it is a path, a path to the essence, a leap path that can truly achieve the transformation of life!"
"The future of mankind lies here!"
Lilya's meaning is already quite clear.
If Ronald is still the person who has just come to this world and knows nothing about reality, I am afraid that he is not qualified to evaluate at this moment.
But Ronald has been to the Four Directions and seen the final outcome of that reality.
I also know the reason why the holy capital was once shattered.
But this kind of talk has no effect on people who have fallen into obsession.
Ronald sighed and simply pointed out the current reality:
"The [Nine Rings Secret Society] has ruled the Southern Continent for a while, but in the reality that I have seen with my own eyes, I have not found the changes you are talking about."
The policy implemented by the [Nine Commandments Secret Society] is different from what the other party said.
This is an irrefutable fact.
In the face of such questioning, the president of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] still did not feel any guilt, but replied in a natural tone:
"There is always a gap between the ideal and the reality."
"We have to realize that most people in this world are ignorant, and even if you put the right path in front of them, they will not use it to pursue higher realms, but will use it to persecute others and even ruin our good plans."
Ronald's tone became cold:
"So you, as the people in power, are actively screening these people?"
Lilja did not deny it, but graciously admitted it:
"I've come to my senses."
"It's a necessary sacrifice in the pursuit of a better future."
Ronald finally asked:
"As you said earlier, you used to have no power. So what if you, too, are part of the common people and become the determined, outcast? β
ββ¦β¦β
Lilja didn't answer immediately.
And Ronald raised his long sword at this moment, signaling Kostat on the side to do it immediately:
"It seems that we have collapsed."
