Chapter 101: Purge
Clear Sky's words opened up another train of thought for Theresia, and she began to seriously consider her own responsibilities.
Staying in the Holy Lun City for so long has allowed this Holy Judge Angel to jump out of the circle of Sky City and be able to examine the problems of the angels from the perspective of a third party.
The archangel and the Archangel of Gold can see that the rule of the Glittering Gold has left an indelible mark on the angelic civilization, and they want to return to the era when there was no dispute with the world, and turn the "justice" of angels into romance given to the world.
Archangels, led by the Sword of Oath, are reeling from the scars of ancient wars. Although the war has been over for a thousand years, the extremes of "authority" and "justice" have left their hearts stuck on the battlefield. They said that the young angels were idols to be worshipped, so the overall atmosphere of Sky City was created now, and even the archangel could only compromise to some extent.
And with the revival of the World Tree, the discovery of artifacts, the turmoil of the source of divine power, and the increasingly intensifying contradictions in the secular world, it seems to herald the resumption of a new all-out war. The contradiction that Sky City has been suppressed is naturally revealed, and the assassination of Archangel Elzelie by a Holy Angel has brought this contradiction to light.
Theresia had always thought she was on the side of the Sword of Oath, but now she had wavered in her position.
The first thing that Teresia felt was fear!
He was questioning the Sword of Oaths and the faith he had held on to since joining the Inquisition.
I even had the idea of changing the Inquisition!
"Miss Weathersky, this may be the way the secular world solves the problem, but I can't accept it." Theresia took a deep breath to calm the restlessness in her heart: "For angels, my changes also belong to the pollution of angels, and I don't look like a real angel. Before I figure out what I've changed, bring the ideas I've received here into Sky City, and I don't know what kind of impact will be.
It seems that I am not suitable for the competition of the Archangel, continue to stay in the Sanctuary of the Holy Lun City, and figure out what is wrong with me...... That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Theresia's answer was very unexpected by Clear Sky, she thought that Theresia would compete for the archangel after listening to her words, but she didn't expect people's ideological consciousness to be so high.
"You have such an idea, which means that human civilization has indeed had a great impact on you, and it has changed subversively compared to when you directly led the angels to descend on Shenglun City to surround the imperial palace." Clear Sky didn't continue to persuade Theresia to go back to Sky City, anyway, the fire was burning, and missing her didn't make much of a difference.
Hearing Qingtian mention the mess she had done, Theresia couldn't help laughing: "I used to be arrogant and ignorant, looking at today's human civilization from the perspective of a thousand years ago. The more I know about them now, the more ridiculous I feel about the scenery at that time. At that time, Queen Christina and Agatha Eldest Princess looked at me not with fear, but with surprise, right? ”
The atmosphere lightened up in Theresia's self-deprecation.
Qingtian also laughed: "It's very surprised, but there is also a feeling of fear." That's why so many transcendent projects have been specially approved for execution, and the Empire's Golden Shield Samurai, the Extraordinary Warriors developed by the Oulu Academy and the Moonlight Royal Court have all made major breakthroughs.
The Wizard Titan, developed separately by Raging Waves, has proven its effectiveness in the Emerald Forest.
We should thank you that without that stimulus, these studies, which require a lot of investment and multi-sectoral collaboration, can be launched, and I am afraid it will take a long time of coordination to get started. ”
Theresia's smile instantly turned into a wry smile.
"I don't know if I've created a strong enemy for Sky City. To tell you one thing, now Sky City is also forming the Valhalla Legion, and I hope we will not be enemies in the future. ”
Clear Sky said jokingly, "I know Sky City is forming the Legion of the Immortals. Meteor told me that Angry Waves has received a lot of orders for building Heroic Spirits, and Angry Waves is working overtime to produce for delivery, ensuring that quality and quantity are delivered to you on time. ”
Theresia was a little dumbfounded: "The meteorite knows that those are the components of the Heroic Spirits?" How is this possible! I placed the order anonymously, and the components were split up to different alchemy manufacturing plants.
You can see that too! ”
Clear Sky drank tea with his hand: "Theresia, you still have a lot to learn in the Holy Lun City. Even if there is a war in the future, it will definitely not be what you know about ancient wars, it is more complicated.
Politics, Economy, Military, Intelligence, Science and Technology, Public Opinion...... All known and unknown areas will be battlegrounds. Sky City's formation of the Valhalla Legion only strengthened its military strength, and it was far behind the Glittering Gold in other aspects.
I dare to assert that if the angels and the Glittering people go to war now, the winner will still be the Glittering Man. ”
Theresia asked vigilantly, "Now that the Golden Shield Empire is challenging the Glittering Gold People, does it mean that you think that the Golden Shield Empire is also stronger than Sky City?" ”
"I'll correct you...... The Golden Shield Empire did not challenge the Glittering Gold Empire, the Golden Shield Empire only challenged the World Bank. These are two concepts, and now economic confrontation is the main thing, supplemented by military confrontation.
The Saint-Lun branch of the Oulu Academy is preparing to start an elective course in politics and economics, inviting imperial economists and some officials to give detailed explanations of the current situation. My original intention was to keep my students more informed about current events, and if you are interested in this course, you can sign up. ”
Hearing that Clear Sky invited herself to class, Theresia thought about it seriously and said, "Okay, I'll go!" When does this elective start? ”
"Soon, I'll send someone to deliver the timetable to the church. If you're still interested in military affairs and intelligence, I can ask the Meteorite Leader to give you a few audit spots at the Imperial Military Academy and the Intelligence Division.
Those angels of yours are idle, so it is better to learn more. After you think about your identity, you may be able to rely on your current team to return to Sky City at a critical time to turn the tide! ”
Theresia looked at the clear sky with a very strange expression.
"Do you want to use human civilization to influence me more deeply?"
"The angel has proved that romantic justice without the support of force is a castle in the air that can be destroyed at any time; Authoritative justice is now more like the remnants of colonial ideology. Fallen angels are both white and black, and the complete abandonment of justice is obviously not the path that can be accepted by angels; And the hunting of angels, which is even more undesirable.
It seems to me that the angels have not yet found a path of their own. Malus recognized this, and as a result, he cherished every moment of his time absorbing every piece of knowledge he could see. He broke his wings in his mind and really completed the self-transformation, which is also what you think is pollution, and his purpose is to find a suitable position for the angels. I think he's going to be a great philosopher, but not a leader......"
"I regret coming to see you this time!" The belief that had just been stable was shaken again, and Teresia said indignantly: "You make me not know what I am now!" ”
Clear Sky asked, "Can't you take these classes yet?" ”
"Up!"
"Then pay the tuition!"
As Trecia walked out of the museum with a handful of payment receipts, she looked back at the retro building and couldn't help but smile wryly.
This step goes out and doesn't know what the future holds.
Perhaps what happened to the fallen angels was their own end.
Still...... It's better to go back to Sky City and fight for the archangel!
Dressed in human clothes, Theresia gets into the carriage and goes back to the church to arrange for the angels to report to the various schools.
Sunny Sky stood by the window and watched the Templar's carriage move away and planted a seed in a pot.
I don't know what kind of fruit it can produce.
Suddenly, there was a large number of Secret Service cars whizzing past the streets outside. Vicious Imperial agents quickly cordoned off the streets, occupying high points, and some people with bullhorns ordered everyone to leave the streets immediately......
Clear Sky calls Jenverny: "The CIA is arresting someone!" Close all the doors and windows of the museum, set up barriers, keep an eye on the children, and no one is allowed to go out or enter! ”
"Yes, Miss Sunny Sky!"
The museum was completely closed for a short time.
The city of Saint-Lun.
Under the long-planned planning of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, the Imperial Secret Agents completed martial law in the entire city in a very short time. Roads are completely blocked, and citizens are either confined to their homes or find a place to stay.
The next step is to arrest people.
The goal is to prepare forces that thwart the new emperor's accession to the throne during the celebration. The CIA has identified the masterminds, along with those who have been brought in to cause trouble and sabotage, and are all surrounded by Imperial agents in their residences.
Brief battles broke out in some places, but the rebels were quickly crushed by well-prepared Imperial agents.
One by one, the criminals were escorted out of the house by the Imperial agents, pulled the prepared prisoner cart, and drove to the headquarters of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
At this time, the celebration was approaching, and the people who needed to be arrested were concentrated in the imperial capital, so it only took less than a day for the Imperial Intelligence Bureau to complete the suppression and arrest. The lockdown was lifted in the evening as if nothing had happened.
In the dungeon of the headquarters of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, the gloom and thick bloody atmosphere added to the terrifying atmosphere here.
Because there are a lot of prisoners added today, and some of them have very special identities, so a lot of guards have been specially added.
The prisoners were restless, cursing loudly, revealing their identities with badges and other symbols, demanding that the agents let them out immediately, or what would happen......
Some people even revealed their royal identity: "I am the nephew of Augustine the Great, and the duty of your secret intelligence bureau is to protect the royal family!" Let me out, I want to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I want to see Her Royal Highness Alec! ”
"Are you going crazy or not? Even Lord Gabriel dares to arrest him, he is the former Imperial Chief!
Let the Falling Stars come! I'm going to ask him face to face what crime we have committed, and why the CIA is arresting us!" ”
Gabriel, the former chief assistant of the Empire, sat in the corner of a cell. He remained silent, letting the others make noise, as if he were not in prison, but in his own home.
After a while, a group of Imperial agents walked outside the cell. They opened the cell door and violently pressed everyone else against the wall.
An inspector walked up to Gabril and saluted politely: "Lord Gabriel, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wants to see you!" ”
Gabler glanced up at the agents, then stood up. He patted the folds of his clothes and the stained straw, stretched out his hand and said to the inspector, "Take me to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”
At this time, Agatha sat in the interrogation room of the dungeon, and the light from the chandelier above her head shone on her face, showing the coldness of the intelligence chief.
Gabler, shackled and shackled, is brought in by the agent.
"You may be seated, Gabriel."
Gabriel sat down across from the interrogation table, and he put his chains heavily on the iron table, and asked, "Agatha! What imperial law have I broken to make you do this to me and to the officials and nobles who have dedicated their lives to the empire!
We are all important ministers trusted by Augustine the Great, do you want to persecute us like this in order to steal the empire? ”
Agatha saw that Gabriel was still stubborn, so she took out a stack of papers and threw them in front of him.
"Gabriel, these are the charges related to you that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has collected during your tenure as an Imperial official and as the first assistant.
This includes, but is not limited to, bribery, favoritism, shielding, persecution, embezzlement of other people's property, and homicide. My father knows all these crimes, but he still protects you......"
Without waiting for Agatha to finish speaking, Gabriel shouted emotionally: "It is Your Majesty who protects me, and I will give all my loyalty to Your Majesty." I will never see Your Majesty's empire stolen by you, let alone that you are all suspected of killing the king!
Agatha, you have been blinded by the meteors!
You are giving him the empire of the Augustinian family with your own hands!
Now is the last chance to save the Empire...... Let us out, and we will proclaim you the Empress of the Empire. ”
Agatha said calmly: "Gabriel, we did not kill the king, it was my father who chose death. Meteor once offered to put me on the throne as Empress, but I refused, so we chose Empress Christina. ”
Gabriel said excitedly: "If you don't want to ascend the throne as the empress, you can let your brother His Royal Highness Alec be the emperor." Empress Christina is a puppet of the Meteor, can't you see it? ”
"Let Alec ascend the throne as emperor?" Agatha sneered, "Does the Empire want to continue to raise you vampires?"
Each of you will only make profits for yourself and your family, and some of you will be for the empire in your heart! ”
Gablel retorted, "Isn't the meteor also for his own profit? Look at the current court, it's all his people! ”
Agatha shook her head and smiled bitterly: "You people are selfish, and you think that everyone in the world is like you. Talking to you about ideals makes me look like a fool.
I am only meeting you this time to give you one last chance, after all, you have indeed contributed to the rise of the Empire.
Confess your sins, and you and most of them will return to your homeland alive. ”
Gabriel looked at the charges in front of him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have been able to sit in the position of first assistant for so many years, but it is not something that you can convict casually. You have added so many charges to me, can you show evidence? ”
Agatha put away her smile: "Gabriel." The opportunity has been given to you, and you don't cherish it...... Don't blame me! ”
Gabriel's face changed: "Agatha, what do you want to do?" I'm ......."
Before Gabriel could finish speaking, the agent behind him plunged a needle into his neck artery. With the liquid injected, Gabril quickly hung his head.
Agatha waved her hand: "Lift it down, replace it!" ”
