Chapter Forty-Eight: Amirus, the Great Conspirator
"What are you thinking, with a sad face."
Seeing that the vessel of the gods remained silent, Amirus asked in a friendly manner, "Is it that I can't tell where I said?" Need I elaborate on that? β
ββ¦β¦ Need not. I'm just wondering if I shouldn't have come to see you at this time. β
"Well, there used to be a saying on the earth...... It's called 'Covering Your Ears and Stealing Bells'. It's not that you don't know or hear something, and it won't happen. β
Amirus said gently, "Since you became my hero...... Or maybe before that, when you appeared in front of me with the beheading of the saint I gave to Alice and saved me, you couldn't get out.
"Your uncle is aware that Alice may have joined an organization that cannot be said. How could I not know?
"She saved my life after all. Have you ever wondered, also being rescued, why did I make you a hero but not Alice? β
ββ¦β¦ Because my mother didn't say yes. β
"No, because she had already joined the Tower of Babel. And you weren't from Babel at that time. β
Amirus took a deep look at Russell: "It's different now.
"You've become like her...... Should I congratulate you? β
The vessel of God was silent.
Because he realizes that Amirus knows far more than he could have imagined...... In this case, it is too much to say and more to be wrong.
β¦β¦ Although he has no chance of going wrong.
The secrets that Amirus knew were enough for Russell to be pinned down by him.
Considering that elves can't be killed, and elves' memories can't be erased, I'm afraid this handle will always be pinched......
No wonder Amirus had no doubts at all about why he was able to teleport at will...... It turned out that he had known something about the Tower of Babel for a long time.
But soon, the vessel of the gods realized a strong sense of disobedience:
- Why is the amount of information on Amirus's side, which is also an elven director, completely different from that of Kamalse and Tovatus?
Kamalser didn't even know that the people of the Tower of Babel could teleport through the door at will, and Amirus even knew that the deerhead was the real Torkiphath.
And this sense of disobedience also gives faith to the vessel of God.
He pondered for a while, then asked cautiously:
ββ¦β¦ What do you want me to do? β
"Oh, yes. I still have to respect the old man. So that the old man will help you. β
Amirus smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
This elven old man with a temperament that would remind Russell of Dumbledore or Professor X has finally been fully valued and respected by the Vessel of God.
There is no need for the threat of force or the deterrence of power, but only through words to make people respect and obey......
"Little Russell," said Amirus lightly, "you don't want your status as a subordination to the Tower of Babel to be revealed. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you need me as your reincarnation body? β
"If you want to, I'm not against it."
The old elf just laughed, noncommittal about it.
And the vessel of the gods also tasted the deeper meaning of his words: "Then what do you want me to do?" β
Amirus smiled and didn't answer the question directly.
He just said lightly, "Your father used to be with me. β
The vessel of the gods raised an eyebrow.
He figured everything out in an instant.
The "bishop" sent by the Tower of Babel to break into the cyber church was a double agent belonging to the church from the beginning.
So it's no surprise that Amirus knows these secrets......
"You want me to ...... Be your eyes? β
"I want you to take your father's place."
The smile on Amirus's face narrowed slightly: "I am very sad that he betrayed me. I think I'm not bad for him.
"Of course, you know that he has betrayed you as well. Betrayed the Tower of Babel, betrayed your mother, betrayed his disciple Nan Liujing. also betrayed ...... You.
"He gave up everything he could and went to the only place where he could feel peaceful."
"Where did he go?" The voice of the vessel of the gods raised slightly.
It was a sense of urgency that belonged to "Russell". He imitates it well.
"Elven Director, Church, Babel...... He betrayed everyone. Who else can you turn to? β
"Dragons."
Amirus replied, "He knows something he shouldn't know." So he decided to give up everything he had and take refuge in the dragon at all costs.
"That's why I just told you those secrets. It is an exhortation and a warning.
"The last person to know the truth was your father. He's gone crazy. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you know the truth of history? β
"Of course I do."
Amirus said flatly: "I sincerely advise you not to understand those things. β
"You just said that no knowledge is dangerous."
"That's true. Contrary to what you think, there is no irresistible force in the deepest part of history, any sanity-distorting pollution. There is nothing in it, only the truth of despair and nothingness...... In this sense, the dragon is indeed for your own good.
βand that's what motivates us against the dragons. It's also the reason why we're powerless to fight the dragon. β
The old elf did not shy away from it, and directly stated that the elf's position was "against the dragon".
The corners of the God's Container twitched slightly, but he couldn't help but mock: "I thought the instinct of the elves was to worship the dragon. β
Amirus shook his head and didn't answer the question.
He took a deep look at Russell: "Your mother saved me on the island of happiness back then, and I gave her the beheading of the saint as a thank-you gift;
She beheaded the saint and gave it to Nanliujing as his ordination;
"Your father took refuge in me on the island of happiness and betrayed me at the end;
"And now you have a desire to kill him, holding the saint and beheading him to the island of happinessβ
"As I said when I saw you. There is no doubt that this is a kind of causal cycle. β
The old elf said and smiled: "The next time we meet, behead the saint to me." I'll give you an upgrade of your prosthetic hand. This serves as a deposit.
"I made you stare at the Tower of Babel, and there was nothing specifically asking you to do...... It's a simple thing.
"If you really find out the truth of history...... Don't worry, think about it.
"Think about it. Think about the consequences of all your choices before deciding whether or not to hand them over to the Tower of Babel.
"I trust you more than your father. He is an overly ideal literary and artistic youth, so it is easy to fall into philosophical myths and go to the tip of the bull's horns. But you are a more 'pragmatist' person. You and I are the same kind of people. I think you'll make the right choice.
"Of course, if you will...... I can also give you the name 'Amirus'.
"It's a real gift to you. You know what I mean. β
The old elf said slowly, "I'm not like them. I have lived for more than a thousand years and have been through everything. It's long since enough to live. β
The Vessel of the Gods stared at him and asked rhetorically, "Is this a gambling agreement?"
"If I'm willing to destroy the real history, give me your name."
"Whether you destroy it or not, I can give you my name. But if you become Amirus, your position changes. You won't be able to look for history anymore β because you'll know the truth straight away. But I believe in you, and I believe that you will find out everything before I die.
"This isn't my Riddler. I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, you still don't know that history will be happier. β
Amirus laughed, "You can think of it as a branching ending to the game. Destroy history, bury history, or make history public. But unlike games, you can't save every ending here...... You'd better be cautious. Think clearly, you only have one choice.
"I've never liked to force people to do something. Those who can be persecuted by violence will also be forced back by others with violence. I like to reason with people.
"Interests, right and wrong, cause and effect. Spread out, crumple, and make it clear. At the end of the day, people are willing to do it. Because I am telling the truth...... Not the kind of one-sided truth, but the real truth.
"Some say I'm the biggest conspirator in the world, the demagogue. Some people say that I am a wise man or a sage, a precursor to the heroes......
"But I think I'm nothing. I'm just letting me get the benefits and making everyone get the benefits. In this way, it is inexplicable that there are many people who are helping me.
"But I've always thought that I have never had any special talents, old man, but I always have everyone in my heart. That's all. β
The old man smiled gently.
His hands were crossed with his fingers crossed in front of his chest.
It was only then that he opened his mouth for the first time and asked Russell why he was here: "You came to me this time, what's the matter?" β
ββ¦β¦ I caught the heavenly send. He has awakened demons...... And the demons in the body are too dangerous. I hope you can make it a psionic arm, at least so that the demon doesn't respawn again. β
The vessel of the gods was silent for a long time, but decided not to pull it anymore and honestly said it all.
- Don't say it, I'll order it.
For the first time, he was at an absolute disadvantage when it came to verbal confrontation with people.
If Russell had been here, he would never have been so disadvantaged.
He wasn't really Russell after all...... It's just a vessel made by God, and it doesn't have the ability to imitate others and learn in an instant.
"So you've already guessed the nature of psionic weapons...... It's you. I was not mistaken. β
Amirus smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, no problem. Use it as a deposit...... No, forget it. Think of it as an employee benefit.
"Send it in, I'll make it myself. When it's ready, I'll see if I can find a prosthetic hand to put it on and send it directly to you.
"I hadn't tried to stuff a psionic weapon into a prosthetic body before. This is a new inspiration that I have had since I met you......
"It's a pity...... Even though I only have a year to live, the inspiration is endless. β
