Chapter 595: New Year's Event
912
"A nobody who can know the news of the Patriarch?" Medici looked at the other party playfully, "Although I am really limited in the number of people I can use now, you should really write a logical resume and submit it to me next time." β
Arnold replied calmly: "I made a mistake in the war with Rune, I was delayed, and the people of the Night Church recovered a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of 9-4, allowing a large number of Rune to evacuate from Winter County with their possessions, and also lost a lot of military supplies, and finally only got a ruined city as a trophy. Later, because he was unable to raise his rank due to the defeat in the war, and did not compete for the position of regional bishop, he took the initiative to give up all his war exploits and follow the predecessors of the Templar Qing Xiu. β
"It's not my problem."
Medici said: "You can follow the ascetic of the Templars, and you can learn about the deeds of the Patriarch, you should be undoubtedly a devout religious or even an asceticβand you have just called him the Holy See, which is not the words of a traitor who is about to betray his country." β
"From the bottom of my heart, I respect the Holy See, my predecessors and teachers, and I love the God of War, who was my Lord."
"I was supposed to be a devout believer."
Arnold said calmly, "But God died before me." β
β¦β¦
"Crazy! These people are crazy! β
Herwin Lambis crushed a head that was no longer recognizable, and cursed covered in blood.
There was finally silence in my ears, no more of the noisy screams, and the angry swearing and gunshots. As of now, there was not a single thing left in this banquet hall that could still talk and breathe, and on the floor lay food and jewelry, servants and nobles, dinner cloths and ornate evening dresses, and a few things that were mixed together and could not be distinguished.
Maybe some people escaped without any problems, but he didn't care about the little people who escaped.
And in this room, shouting in front of him, not listening to his orders and requests, turning a blind eye to himself, a noble demigod, and even daring to provoke himself under his own "dragon might"βHerwin Lambis could not bear the contempt of the weak, and was extremely angry at any resistance and disregard, whether it was a servant or a nobleman, an ordinary person or an extraordinary, he should reflect on himself.
After doing all this, he was quiet for a while, and began to regret that his emotions had just lost control.
"I should have left a few people down...... At the very least, some of the pious nobles who have donated a lot of money to the Thunder Church should be kept, and a few more earls and viscounts, so that the balance between the various factions of the country can continue to be maintained......"
He didn't say much, just muttered a few words to himself and then quieted down, reminiscing in his heart about what had just happenedβwhen he smashed the chest of the mortal who was just an ordinary viscount but had never been able to see the reality clearly and put on a face for himself, his heart suddenly erupted with addictive and twisted pleasure.
However, the room was too dirty, the smell of blood hit his nostrils, and the dark red splashed on it like graffiti also brought a lot of visual stimulation. Herwin Lambis opened the window and felt the cool night breeze outside, feeling a little better.
He carried the iron rod in his hand, scanned the messy room with bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but curse.
"Damn! Now where am I going to find out the management of a country......"
"Promote the children of these dead nobles?" He looked back for a moment, then looked away in disgust, "Forget it, let's talk about it." β
"Why doesn't the Thunder Church take care of it?"
Shouldn't He be an all-knowing and unquestionable absolute authority?
There was an untimely red flame spreading in the night scene, and Herwin Lambis didn't bother to care what was wrong, and after blowing the night breeze for a while, his mind gradually detached himself from the extreme emotions he had just had, and then his eyebrows tightened together.
"That's not right!"
Just now, his thinking seemed to be stuck in something, and only the most extreme, simple and crude emotions controlled his ability to think, but now, somehow, he suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"This could be a borrowed knife to kill someone! There are already signs of dissatisfaction with the nobility at the top of the Thunder Church, and if the nobility dies en masse all at once, then the church will have the opportunity to reclaim their land and all their property......"
"Eliminating the existence of the aristocracy on a large scale is also a good opportunity to weaken the imperial power, and the aristocracy must be canonized by the emperor, even if it is bought with money and land, it is too bad, this is bad......"
It seems that he has inadvertently broken the balance of the confrontation between the two god-level existences!
No wonder they don't care! I haven't had any reaction for so long!
A cold sweat erupted on Herwin Lambis's back, and he immediately entered a state of psychological stealth without hesitation, for fear that a large group of demigods of the Thunder Church would fly from the sky to capture him. They don't go to put out fires, they don't evacuate the crowd, they come here to arrest themselves after the matter here is over, and by the way, they tearfully accept all the property and land of the nobles who died in a place.
What's going on......
He suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around, holding back his nausea and looked at the debris and garbage all over the floor.
After a brief search, Herwin Lambis saw the upper body of Viscount Conrad, but found that there were no parts of the illegitimate daughter he had brought to socialize, the little girl from Fenerport and her maid.
"They fled early? How did they sense that I was out of control? β
"Could it be that 'gluttony' did it to me?"
"No, she's not here at all! Even if she had become Sequence 3 and had a clone use this completely irrational plague and hypnosis on me, I wouldn't have been completely unaware! β
"It's not her, so who's doing it?"
Is it the president? He could indeed help the Thunder Church gain a foothold here, but he didn't have to use me, and he couldn't let me fall for it without me knowing...... He must also want to leave Rune, so that he will not betray me, a loyal demigod.
If it weren't for the people on his side, and it wasn't like the people on the Thunder Church's side, then this matter would be even more terrifying.
Herwin Lambis didn't believe that such a big move was just to torture and kill some nobles, and secretly made a wedding dress for the Thunder Church, if it was really a third party who did this, it only proved that there was something bigger hidden behind this matter.
But what exactly would happen, he had no clue.
Hunting birds all day long is finally pecked in the eye by birds, and people who are obsessed with manipulating the hearts and behaviors of others have unknowingly become other people's knives. Herwin Lambis pondered the question of whether to flee or not to escape, and she stood still in front of the window as if she had become a sculpture. But, no matter what, no matter what the truth is, this time he has to take the blame, after all, it is indeed his hand.
After a moment of silence, Herwin Lambis laughed, and the doors and windows of the mansion closed automatically, locking the smell of blood firmly inside.
Immediately after, he picked up the few forks and knives left on the table and threw them away, allowing the not-so-sharp cutlery to cut through the gas pipes hidden in the corners of the hall.
Suddenly, the wall lamps began to dim, and the brightness of the entire hall dropped sharply, and the strong smell of gas instantly filled the place, wrestling with the bloody gas.
Herwin Lambis put on a special candle and left quietly.
After a few minutes, he stood on the far side of another street, looking at his watch suspiciously, wondering if he had set the wrong time just now.
Just as he was debating whether to go back, a shocking fire suddenly erupted from the location of the luxurious mansion, and an unprecedented loud sound was like thunder, and the continuous explosion made the earth tremble a few times. In the surrounding neighborhoods, the lights are lit up one after another.
Herwin Lambis breathed a sigh of relief, and he continued to evacuate with psychological stealth.
He always felt that the loud explosion just now seemed to coincide with the other sounds, but he didn't think much of it and hurried away.
"Killing so many Rune nobles, isn't it also a help to Intis? If I pray, ask for help, will the angels and the big men answer me......" he thought with the last shred of luck.
β¦β¦
"Are you going to seek revenge?" Medici beckoned the passers-by to pour himself a glass of water, and by the way, he also poured a glass for Arnold, and the atmosphere of the conversation gradually approached that of the interview scene, "I can tell you who the person who killed your former lord is, this question is free." β
Arnold shook his head: "I don't need to know those things, I just need to know that God is dead, and the rest should be left to the Holy See." β
"You should know that if you betray your country and your faith, it will be possible to swing a knife at your relatives, teachers and all those who respect you later, can you do this?"
"I don't have any family."
Medici nodded slightly: "You already have the qualifications and cheekiness to be able to join us." So, you're an orphan specially selected by the church, and you're not more than sixty years old, aren't you? Being able to become a demigod is indeed worthy of me giving you an offer of employment. β
"You've won a prize." Arnold smiled a little and said simply, "I grew up in an affiliated church and have been constantly sifting and cultivating for as long as I can remember. This institution is subordinate to the Inquisition, and we have a system of last elimination. β
"We pray three times a day to thank the god of war for giving us a chance to live."
"Say it three times a day?"
"Yes."
"It's really stricter than in the Tertiary Period, and if you talk too much, it only has the effect of hypnosis." Medici sighed, "It's good to mention things like this once in a while, we just talk about it once a week, and remember it the rest of the time." β
"We have to evaluate and evaluate the results once a week, we don't know where the last ones who are eliminated have gone, and the teachers say that they are judged to be untalented, and they are sent to other people's homes for adoption, or they go to other directions to train, or they are simply 'let go', and we will not see them anyway. It doesn't sound like a bad result, but we still trained hard and didn't dare to be the last one. β
Medici took a sip of tea, a little nostalgic for Fursac's breakfast aperitif:
"So, you should be the best of the bunch."
"The top 50 have a chance to get treatment after an injury, and I can only barely stay in that position." Arnold had a happy and nostalgic smile on his face when he talked about these horrible memories, "The school is really strict, obviously everyone is a child of the same age, and they are all the same sequence nine, but the teachers prefer to choose the best among us. β
"The top ones will be sent to the seminary, where they will be sent to further their studies like ordinary students, and then they will return to the inquisition."
It's a weird way to get promoted, but it's also in line with the mono-faith atmosphere here.
Medici drank all the tea and asked the passers-by to serve him another pot of tea.
"Later, the last position became the last five, and in this way, everyone racked their brains every day to survive, and abused their bodies in order to become stronger, and the teachers only encouraged us and told us, 'What the god of war needs is a resolute and brave warrior like us.'" It is children like us that the god of war loves, we are not outcasts, but we are chosen by God because we are abandoned, so it is natural for us to repay Him with our lives - we are special and loved, which makes each of us extremely proud. β
"I loved Him, believed in Him, and was grateful to Him, so I didn't learn anything other than loyalty, killing, and fighting."
"He taught me that we need to be valued in order to be valued, and that our lives are God's gift and are clearly priced."
"He taught me to use my strength to get a place where I could sleep in peace, He taught me that my life was for Him from the beginning, and I was going to fight for Him with a sword and for Him, so He was my Lord. β¦β¦ But now that He's dead, there's no such thing as a deal. β
"I don't know anything but these skills, and since He can no longer lead me into battle, then my faith in Him will collapse."
"If you can keep me fighting, then you are my master."
β¦β¦
Seeing Hugh's figure engulfed in flames, the man in the golden mask let out a sigh.
"It's a shame, I thought you would be qualified to wash away your father's folly."
"The more powerful and wise His Majesty the Emperor is, the more it proves that your father, Mason Deere, was short-sighted, and because of his so-called faith and loyalty to the Church, he immediately chose to ventilate and stop His Majesty from becoming a god...... Hmph, restore his reputation...... As long as His Majesty the Emperor shows His strength and majesty, your father will never be able to restore his honor. β
"The only way is for you to join our side and make meritorious contributions."
"It's a pity that even if I give you so many hints and help, you are still as stupid as him, and you can't see the situation clearly......"
After saying these words, the explosion in front of him had also calmed down, and the flames were silently burning on the walls, on the ground, and on the abandoned houses on both sides, perhaps developing into a fire under the influence of the wind, but the man in the golden mask did not care. He waited for a few minutes, and saw the small, burning, curled up corpse, taking the extraordinary properties that had been precipitated next to it.
He raised his head and said to himself to the sky:
"Calculating the time, they should also be near His Majesty's tomb of the Emperor, those guys who are good at divination in the Thunder Church will definitely try to stop it, I don't know if the demons have acted according to the agreement......"
At this moment, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion, and the earth shook violently, even an experienced extraordinary person couldn't help but tremble with fright.
"Have they already blown open the door to the mausoleum?"
He smiled happily, not noticing that he had said almost everything he could think of in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else, and immediately ran quickly in a certain direction outside the city.
But before he had run a few steps, his vision suddenly went dark, and his consciousness fell silent.

Audrey stood in the corner, looking at the golden-masked man lying at her feet, recalling the information she had just gained from hypnosis.
"Unbelievable." Susie was also shared with that information.
"I didn't expect their purpose to wake up Emperor George III during the Chinese New Year as a New Year's event, which is also too exciting." Audrey's expression was also not good-looking, "Plans always don't change quickly...... The third version of the plan is about to be abandoned, and that gentleman asked me to come back to Rune to investigate, maybe it was a deliberate attempt to amuse me, right? β
Susie shrugged.
"But it's good that you did it in time, Hugh is fine, I thought Furth would be nearby, but she ended up alone...... Audrey, why don't you go and say hello to her? β
"No need." Audrey said, "We have something to do right now. (End of chapter)
