Chapter 82 [Character and Choice]
Back at Monroe's treehouse, there was a little dispute, and the fat man recognized Newton as the spirit who had robbed Seth that night, and almost stepped forward to do it, but when he saw Seth come back safely, he got an explanation, so he rolled his eyes and went back to the house to continue drinking.
A few people entered Monroe's treehouse, and saw Seth's face full of questions, Monroe knew his thoughts, chatted with Anne for a few words, and found a reason to let her leave first, and after there were only four people left in the house, Seth couldn't hold back anymore, holding the sign in his hand, his eyes were slightly red, his voice trembled slightly, and he stared at Merlin: "This sign is yours...... I...... As you said, my surname is Solomon, and my father's name is Loubor...... What kind of man is he? What's going on with the Babylonian Empire......"
There were too many questions in his heart, about his life experience, so he was a little incoherent for a while, and the questions asked were very messy, Merlin walked to the window and sat down, his face was a little stunned, and he didn't seem to hear Seth's words, Seth walked all the way, held it for a long time, and couldn't help but want to ask a second time, Monroe next to him pushed him and asked him to wait for a while, at this time, Newton spoke: "I don't know anything else, but I know something about Solomon and the Babylonian Empire......"
Seeing Seth's turned gaze, Newton smiled slightly: "The Babylonian Empire fell more than a hundred years ago, you probably know this, and then split into three countries: Maya, Byzantium, and Atlantis, and the kings of these three countries are all ministers of the Babylonian Empire, well, ministers with great power, and they are also powerful families......"
"And the Solomon family is a far more powerful family than the three of them, so to speak, if it weren't for the sudden disappearance of Ares, the domain powerhouse of the Solomon family at that time, the Solomon family seems to have a little problem, and there is some chaos, these three families would never dare to have the idea of rebellion......"
"The Solomon family is known as the first family of the Babylonian Empire, and even the royal family cannot be compared with it, and in each generation of the Solomon family there will be an amazing figure, either wisdom or force, so to speak, if the most powerful people in the continent will definitely appear in the Solomon family, they are loyal to the Babylonian Empire, protect the country, and win the spontaneous support of the Babylonian people...... However, under such glory, it is not a good thing, the royal family is both borrowed from Solomon and afraid, so all along, the Solomon family has naturally been secretly suppressed, because of these reasons, the Solomon family in order to avoid suspicion, gradually faded out of the power class of the Babylonian Empire, but as long as the empire encounters a crisis, they will appear......"
"Because of the problems of the Solomon family itself, coupled with the avoidance of suspicion, these reasons made the three families dare to rebel, otherwise, as long as the Solomon family exists, this kind of thing will never happen in the Babylonian Empire...... Even if they split the Babylonian Empire and killed all the Babylonian royal family, the people of the three families were still not at ease, and they continued to exterminate the Solomon family......"
"At that time, there were too many dead, the continent was in chaos, although the Solomon family was strong, it was difficult to resist the strength of the army, and I didn't know what problems had happened internally, and they were almost wiped out, and over the years, the three countries have not forgotten the people of the Solomon family......"
Seth's face was calm, but his heart was like waves, not only anger, but also unspeakable sorrow, the Solomon family, he had heard of it, but few people mentioned it, and when he mentioned it, he would only say one sentence. Oh, that bastard family that caused the Babylonian Empire to split', obviously, these comments are not based on facts, but from the privilege of the victors, who have modified the truth, Seth only stayed in such a small place as Woma Town, but even in such a deserted place, the vast majority of people will have this understanding.
In the elven clan, perhaps only this true statement can be heard, Seth suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in a low voice: "So, what kind of family is the Solomon family?"
He asked this very sincerely, although he knew the truth of the matter, but he still wanted to draw an evaluation from other people's mouths, Newton's face became solemn, he thought for a while, and said slowly: "The Solomon family is a respectable family, and it is also the only human family that can obtain the friendship of the elven race...... If that's the case, it's just a powerful family, and the key thing is that this family ......"
At this point, Newton paused, and then said: "Virtue, this is a very ethereal word, very difficult to judge a person or a family, but at that time, whoever it was, even if it was an enemy of the family of Solomon, had to stretch out his thumb and praise: the character of this family is impeccable. Even if the three families of the Babylonian Empire were divided at that time, at the beginning, they did not want to exterminate the Solomon family, but after working hard, they felt that they could not buy this loyal family, so they could only choose to slaughter ......"
"There have been many things in history that confirm the character of the House of Solomon, and of course, may now be erased from the annals of mankind...... There was a war, when the battlefield happened to be in a tribe, there were many old and weak women and children who did not have time to evacuate, when the two armies confronted each other, a team of people rushed into the center of the battlefield, facing sharp arrows and various attacks, saved countless women, children, old and weak, if there were no them, those lives would definitely be lost in the war, these people, it was the Solomon family, they died a lot in the center of the battlefield, and finally, the two sides of the battle invariably stopped fighting, waiting for them to rescue those people, at this time, they only had three people left......”
"More than 200 years ago, there was a kind of plague on the mainland, not only human beings, but all kinds of races were almost wiped out in the plague, and there were no traces of people in many places on the continent...... The Solomon family developed a potion to solve this disaster, not only that, but they also sent people from the family to go deep into the center of the disaster everywhere to rescue the affected races, not only humans, elves, but even the alien races in the north, the nomadic barbarians in the west, they all sent people, and the hundreds of people sent out, and in the end there were less than ten people who came back, and now you also know that the alien races, elves, and barbarians in the west still exist, this is the kindness of the Solomon family......"
After saying such a big call, Newton seemed to be a little excited, let out a long breath, and looked at Seth seriously: "You are the descendant of the Solomon family, their character is worthy of respect, and it is a sentiment that transcends race, so ......"
Seth looked up and showed a somewhat mocking expression: "So, the Solomon family was exterminated, right?"
Newton was choked by this sentence, his old face turned red, he couldn't say a word for a while, and after a while, he waved his hands and shouted a little unreasonably: "I'm just telling you the character of this family, it has nothing to do with anything else, you just need to remember your identity, you only need to remember the sentiments of your ancestors, as for the rest, it's an accident......"
Seth shook his head: "If it is according to their behavior, what they should get is respect, what they should get is glory, not extermination, I don't need to remember those useless so-called moral ......"
He took a deep breath and became serious: "Thank you for what you just said, let me know a lot of things, if my surname is Solomon, then, I will not repeat that kind ......of tragedy, as long as it violates my family, my friends, I will never compromise, and other people's lives and deaths, what does it matter to me? If I don't have the surname Solomon, then I will take this as a warning, and I will not be as stupid as the Solomon family in the future."
Newton's face was full of anger, and he couldn't help but shout: "You guy, why are you so stubborn? The Solomonic family has a noble character, and I say this to let you know their nobility, not to let you learn what selfishness ......"
Seth looked at Newton coldly and asked word by word: "Then let me ask, what did they get in exchange for such a high moral character? You said that they had rescued the crisis of various races on the continent, but what were all the beneficiaries doing when they exterminated their race? The three families did not hesitate to exterminate them for their own interests, while the elven race, the alien race in the north, and the barbarians in the west have been standing idly by and watching them in the process of their destruction?" I bet that under the circumstances at that time, no race would have dared to do such a despicable thing if any race came forward, and those three families at that time would never have dared to do such a despicable thing!"
Newton opened his mouth and couldn't speak, but Seth smiled slightly and pointed to his head: "I know what you mean, but I have my own ideas, and I will have enough respect for this family, respect their character, and respect their deeds, but ...... If my surname is really Solomon, then I will change the tradition in the future, I will not continue the foolish behavior, what I want to do is to make my life better, let ......"
He glanced at Monroe, and a little tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Let the people around me live happier, that's all, if it's ......" After a pause, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face: "Someone wants to break my life, then I will not hesitate to defend my dignity and freedom with blood!"
Monroe smiled like a flower, Newton also showed a thoughtful expression on his face, Merlin, who was standing on the side, had tears flashing in his eyes, suddenly stood up and walked to Seth's side, hugged him in his arms, and choked up and said, "Good boy, you should think like this...... If...... If Lou Boer is your idea, he can live happily for the rest of his life......"
Seth said emotionally, and was suddenly embraced by Merlin, feeling uncomfortable, he couldn't help but retreat, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Are you sure that I am the descendant of the Lou Boer you said?"
Merlin looked at Seth, his eyes rose with tenderness, and he stared at Seth for a moment before he said slowly: "When I met Lou Boer, twenty-three years and four months ago, at that time, he was about thirty years old, although he was much older than you are now, but you ...... When I first saw you, I was puzzled, because it was so similar, and when I learned that you had this sign, I was convinced of it......"
"Lou Boer is a very good person, but because of the family tradition that binds him, he has always been unhappy, when he left, I gave him this brand, and now the brand is on you, then, you must be his closest person!"
Speaking of this, Merlin stared at Seth and said categorically, "Believe me, son, you are definitely the last person in this world with the surname Solomon...... At the beginning, Lou Boer told me that there are few of his people, and their lives are very difficult, because of the pursuit of the three families, there is not even a day of peace, and many times, they will be killed by sudden killers in their sleep, in this world, there is almost no place for them to live, perhaps, in the island country of the eastern sea, there are still some people, the people on the island country of the eastern sea, after the three families split the Babylonian Empire, they are unwilling to be ruled by them, and they fled from the past, there are about some people from the Solomon family, but according to Lou Boer, those guys are no longer the people of the Solomon family, they have deteriorated......”
Merlin gently stroked Seth's head and said softly: "Child, I don't want you to try to restore the glory of the family, nor do I want you to want to revive the family, I just want you to live a happy life as you just said, remember what you just said, can you promise me?"
Seth glanced at Monroe and nodded solemnly, Merlin squinted at Newton, who was a little indignant on the side, and smiled lightly: "Senior, you seem to be a little dissatisfied?
Newton snorted, "Do you want me to stand out? Those old fellows died early, or else......"
After saying this, he suddenly froze, his face slowly regained his calmness, and nodded: "Also, I just admired the character of the Solomon family in the past, so I hated this kid a little, but from another point of view, he has this kind of thought, and it should be, he can admire the character of the Solomon family, but he will never continue that kind of tragedy......"
After solving Newton's obsession, Merlin turned to Seth and said, "Take a good rest, tomorrow we will see the Mayan mission, we will leave, because there are some things that still need to be confirmed...... Also, if we want to live in the Mayan country in the future, we must also have a good relationship with these guys!"
