Chapter 156: [Roddy's Smile]
Luo Di was still sitting in a courtyard outside the city at the moment, gently holding the fallen leaf that Mr. Qiu had left that day that had been divided into two halves, and was silent. γReading.comγ
"Thorn to the warmth of spring, stab to the arrogance of summer, stab to the style of autumn, stab to the coldness of winter. Luo Di muttered softly to Mr. Tianqiu's words, and sighed: "It's really a little complicated." β
He picked up the dragon tooth sword from his side, looked at it lightly, then stood up, and with a soft click, the sword in his hand slashed down like lightning, only to hear a loud bang, and he blasted a deep pit in the ground. The tree next to it was shaken, and its leaves were falling one after another.
"Still can't do it......" Roddy shook his head: "Is it not possible to do it with more power?" He slowly stretched out a finger and clamped a leaf falling from the tree in his hand, and then gently raised it, and the sword in the other hand swung out quickly.
The leaf was stained with the fighting qi on the blade of the sword, and it immediately shattered and turned into a cloud of dust......
"No, you can't do that. Mr. Qiu didn't know when he had come behind him, and frowned: "It's not that the stronger the strength, the stronger the strength." What's the difference between you having a sword in your hand or another weapon like this?"
With the distress in Luo Di's eyes, Mr. Qiu smiled faintly: "This bottleneck is not so easy to break through...... You're already strong now...... Very strong. He said slowly: "With your strength, you have actually reached the realm of the Sword Saint Warrior, but cultivation is not so simple...... If you meet a strong person in the realm, you will become like a baby who has no ability to resist. β
"Control!" Mr. Qiu said in a low voice, "Control is the true meaning, why are the gods powerful? Because they can control this space, they can make snow fly in June, they can make winter thunder bursts, they can freeze time and space, and they can distort space. So the gods are powerful and can be above all things!"
He paused for a moment and said, "The reason why the so-called domain powerhouses are called human beings close to the gods is because they can carve out their own 'realm' in the world created by the gods, and in this realm, they themselves become the masters of everything!"
Mr. Qiu gently patted Luo Di's shoulder, looked at the sky, and said lightly: "Everything in this world has rules! Why are there stars in the sky, why are there sunrises and moonsets, why do there are spring and autumn, why are there summer rain and winter snow...... As long as you can understand these rules, you can control everything in your hands!"
Luo Di realized something in his heart, looked at one of his palms, and then slowly shook it, and muttered: "Comprehension ......"
"Yes!" Mr. Qiu said slowly: "I can't teach you any ways to improve your strength, in fact, your strength is already very strong, but you don't know how to control it!
"Learn to control your power first, and then learn to control everything around you. Mr. Qiu picked up a withered branch from the ground and gently held it in his hand, a ball of light appeared from the tips of his fingers, and then fresh shoots sizzled out from the withered branch, and the verdant green seemed to carry infinite vitality......
Mr. Qiu's face seemed to have some kind of brilliance: "Everything in the world is like this. The moon always rises after sunset, spring always comes after winter, everything has a cycle, it's just how you comprehend it. β
Roddy slowly took the branch from Mr. Qiu's hand, but as soon as the branch reached Roddy's hand, the shoots on it immediately withered.
"This ......" Luo Di's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Mr. Qiu: "You have ......"
Mr. Qiu smiled slightly and nodded. Then he said lightly: "I can tell you these truths, but when you can really comprehend it, it's not for me to help you...... You've been resting here for a few days, so come with me to a place today. β
"Oh, where are you going?"
Mr. Qiu said lightly: "Go to the palace." He said in a strange tone: "It's time for you to know something...... I don't have much time. β
Luo Di frowned: "Mr. Qiu, what did you say?"
Mr. Qiu shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault...... It's ridiculous that I didn't have the courage back then, and then I still didn't have the courage! I watched her hurt by two people...... If I had stopped him then, I wouldn't have hurt her now. If I had ...... Now I won't watch her secretly cry every day. She's just a weak woman, and whoever it is, if I want to hurt her, I'm not going to sit idly by anymore...... Not even that guy!"
He looked at Roddy and whispered, "In the past few days, I have made a decision. I'm going to leave here forever with a friend. But before that, I need to understand one thing, see one thing. β
"What?"
A woman's voice in the palace whispered, "I'm worried...... But why didn't you come to see me for so many days? And Jojo...... Where the hell has Jojo gone?"
The woman's voice continued: "Your Majesty has sent people to see me these days, but I have concealed it...... You...... What do you want? Do you really want to watch me die?"
A voice seemed to sigh and said slowly: "It's not easy for me to come in once, don't worry." That man will soon die, and our son will be the new ruler of this big 6. The world will change because of us...... What a fun thing to do. β
The woman's voice seemed to be silent, and suddenly a clear voice was heard saying slowly, "He is deceiving you." β
Then the door was pushed open, and a slender figure slowly walked in.
Seth frowned and said in a low voice, "Mr. Qiu." β
Mr. Qiu glanced at the queen who was unable to sit behind Seth, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and when his gaze slowly swept over Seth, he showed a bit of solemnity: "Have you forgotten what I warned you back then?"
His tone gradually became cold: "I warned you when you first returned to Her Majesty the Empress privately. Do you think that if you are his son, I really dare not kill you?"
Seth's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Of course you dare." Then he shook his head and said, "But you won't kill me." β
In the face of Mr. Qiu's murderous aura, Seth slowly took a step forward and said lightly: "I know that when a man falls in love with a woman, everything is done. Don't say I'm the son of tulips, even if it's the son of God, you still dare to kill me...... But you won't do that. β
There was a bit of mockery in Seth's eyes: "Mr. Qiu, although I don't have the strength of you, I know a lot of things. His voice was low: "You love her, but she loves me." So, you're not going to kill me. Others may do that, but you won't," he smiled, "because you're Mr. Qiu." β
Mr. Qiu's gaze was shocked, and the chill in his eyes increased a little: "Of course I won't." There are many things I may not know, but now, I do. β
He took a deep breath, looked at the queen sitting in the back, and said softly, "Don't you understand? He doesn't love you." He won't fall in love with any woman...... He knows Jojo just to be close to you. He approached you only for his own sake! Back then, you begged me to protect you and not let your affairs be discovered by others...... Haha......"
Mr. Qiu smiled suddenly, but there was sadness in his eyes: "For you, how many people did I kill?" Anyone who accidentally knew your secret was secretly killed by me...... But are you really happy when I do this?"
Seth shook his head: "Mr. Qiu, you really surprise me......" He smiled: "I thought you would stay by her side all your life and be an invisible bodyguard, can you tell me, why did you suddenly become so courageous today?"
Mr. Qiu shook his head: "I don't care what you want, you have ambitions, that's your business." Even if you go and kill the emperor now, I won't frown. He took a slow breath, "But now you're using her as your bargaining chip." Use her as a tool for your ambitions!"
Seth shook his head: "You're wrong again, this world needs to be changed! The history of the empire for hundreds of years has been covered with too much decay, and I am the one who changed all this!"
Mr. Qiu smiled faintly: "You can keep these words and talk to Luo Di." It's a pity I'm not Roddy, he might be moved by you, but I won't. β
Seth raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "You already know about Roddy?" Alas, what a pity...... I've been secretly avoiding you these days, and I'm afraid to come to the palace, just for fear of being bumped into by you...... I didn't think you still knew. β
He looked at Mr. Qiu squarely, and suddenly said loudly: "What am I doing wrong? I have added an invincible tulip commander to the empire, and for this I would rather give up my title and be willing to hide behind the scenes! I am willing to give up all the glory that originally belonged to me! I will also remove a stupid emperor for the empire, and I will change the dying and decrepit empire and make it rejuvenated! With me Seth, a great empire will rise again on this big 6! The Rochenthal of the Northwest, the Marquis of Caroline, the Minister of War, are nothing but passing clouds in my eyes! I will give the empire a new life! The empire wants a big ship, now controlled by a mediocre helmsman! I will drive that mediocre helmsman away!"
Mr. Qiu shook his head: "What are you for?"
"For what......" A strange look flashed in Seth's eyes
"For Tulips!" Seth said slowly: "For hundreds of years, Tulips have been called the guardians of the Empire, the walls of the Empire, and the pillars of the Empire! But why do Tulips always have to bear these responsibilities? The Thorn Flower Family is a royal family, why don't they come to bear these responsibilities? For what? Let me tell you! In order to replace the Thorn Flower Family, which is long overdue! Let the Tulip Family become the real master of this Big 6!"
His eyes flashed with excitement: "My son will become the emperor of this big 6! The bloodline of the tulip family will become the new master of this big 6!"
Mr. Qiu still shook his head, he looked at Seth with a radiant face in front of him, and suddenly whispered: "I misjudged you! Everyone misjudged you......
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Mr. Qiu's mouth: "Everyone thinks that you are a person who is afraid of taking responsibility, a playboy who escapes family responsibilities...... Hmph, I didn't expect you to work hard for your family all along...... It's just that you're more dedicated and dedicated than Nicole!"
Seth said slowly: "When I was very young, I read a sentence from Mr. Danton's notes, although many of his notes were recorded in a strange language, but those things recorded in imperial writing, I read them when I was very young...... Do you know what that phrase is called?"
His face was calm, and he said slowly in a low tone: "That sentence is called: retreat is advance!"
"In my hands, a new era is about to begin, and the empire will have an invincible commander of tulips, and I will be a wise man like Danton! I and Luo Di will create a glorious era for the empire! Mr. Qiu, do you still think I am wrong?"
Mr. Qiu's face was a little complicated: "You are very strange - you look very ambitious, but you don't seem to be interested in the throne, you ...... What are you doing all this for? What are you doing all this for?"
Seth smiled slightly: "No why. There was an eager look in his eyes: "Just for that wonderful picture! To see a great era in my hands! Am I for myself, you say?"
Mr. Qiu nodded and sighed, "I don't know how to describe you - you are despicable and insane, shameless and admirable. β
Seth bowed slightly, as if in an elegant curtain call, and he smiled, "Thank you for the compliments and compliments." Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Qiu, do you still think that what I did is wrong? I actually need your strength...... I need you to help me deal with the Pope's people, I need you to help me deal with those guys in the Northern Big 6...... But I don't think they're heretics. In fact, I've never believed in any gods!"
Mr. Qiu looked at Seth and said lightly, "I won't!"
"What?" Seth frowned slightly, then sighed, as if he was very sorry: "Then it's really a pity...... Okay......" He said lightly, "Then Mr. Qiu, tell me." What are you here for today? Are you going to kill me right now?"
The queen behind him was trembling slightly and crying, Mr. Qiu felt a pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I misjudged you back then, I thought you were a person without ambition, a person who stood outside the circle of right and wrong." So what happened between you and her, I once sincerely blessed you...... Now, it's time for me to make amends. β
Seth's face did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Oh, you have made up your mind, then kill me." I'll watch you do it!"
Mr. Qiu slowly stepped forward step by step and said in a low voice, "I still won't kill you...... But I'm not going to let you use her as a tool. I'll take her away!"
As soon as these words came out, Seth was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. Laughing more and more wildly, as if hearing the most ridiculous joke in the world!
Mr. Qiu frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
Seth couldn't help laughing, looked at him coldly, and whispered, "Finally mustered up the courage......?" It's a pity......" His eyes were playful: "It's a pity that your courage came too late! If you had this courage before she entered the palace! If you had this courage before I came into contact with her...... But your courage came too late!"
Seth turned around, looked at the queen who was sitting there in a daze, looked at the haggard face, and whispered, "Tell me, and tell her too, are you willing to go with him and leave me?"
The queen's dull gaze swept over, gently swept over Mr. Qiu, and then glanced at Seth, with a deep meaning in her eyes, and then her voice seemed to come very empty.
"No!"
Seth sighed, instead of a smug expression, his eyes showed a trace of pity and pity, and he couldn't help but gently stretched out his hand to touch the queen's head, and said in a low voice: "Infatuated woman, in fact, what he said is very right. I'm a horrible bad guy. And you are the tool in my hands...... In this world, others may lie to you, but Mr. Qiu will not lie to you. β
The queen shook her head, her eyes showing a heart-rending gaze, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "No! I won't leave you!"
Seth smiled faintly, turned to look at Mr. Qiu again, and said coldly, "What else do you have to say?"
Mr. Qiu's originally calm face finally showed a trace of grief. Even when facing the powerful blood clan and the legendary magic weapon, the eyes that had never wavered, but at this moment, they collapsed a little.
Seth shook his head and sighed, "Don't you understand? Once a woman is not blinded by love, she will not be able to see the world clearly!"
Mr. Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really from the Tulip family, why do you have such a devil's heart?"
Seth smiled, and he still smiled, as if he were smiling calmly.
"I'm Tulip's son. All my blood belongs to Tulips!But I'm the best descendant of the Tulip family ever!" He said coldly, "Is Roddy outside?"
As soon as he said this, Roddy had already strode in from outside. His face was full of rage, and he glared at Seth fiercely!
Seth looked at Roddy and shook his head: "It's a pity...... It's a pity that although you are very good and have a lot of potential, you are not a conspirator by nature. I've always thought it's better to use my brain than my handsβso when I was very young, I wondered if I was going to be the invincible commander of the Tulip family, or a wise man like Mr. Danton."
Mr. Qiu smiled bitterly: "The answer is already obvious. β
Race headed: "Yes, obviously. It's more fun to be a conspirator than a hero, that's my choice. He glanced at Luo Di, not caring about the anger in Luo Di's eyes, and said lightly: "Then what about your choice? My dear duke, my sister's lover, don't look at me like that, you love my sister deeply, so even if you hate me again, you can't kill me...... So, what's your choice? Tell me...... Will you work with me to usher in that great era...... Let our names shine together in history?"
Roddy didn't answer, his heart was full of mixed feelings, one moment at a loss, the next with anger.
Seth looked at him coldly and said lightly: "You are Roddy, a year ago, you were just a civilian struggling in the mud. You will worry about the cost of living next month, and you will worry about whether you will have bread for your next meal...... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today, and you wouldn't be a hero of all kinds! There wouldn't be thousands of people cheering for you, shedding blood for you, and dying for you! You wouldn't get the love of my sister, and you wouldn't get the glory that the whole Big 6 admired! But look at you now! You took off your mask, and you showed your original face! Do you think it's good?
He smiled gloomily, suddenly stretched out a finger, pointed at Mr. Qiu, and said coldly: "This person is your example! Even if you have the same invincible strength as him in the end, so what? Even if you are now strong and can stand at the peak of power, so what? Look at Mr. Qiu! Look at this person! He is now facing a woman he loves, and he has no way to do it! What is power? Let me tell you, it is not a field or a god or a devil! But control!" He stretched out a hand, then clenched it fiercely, and said loudly: "What's so great about personal strength? With my cleverness, if I wanted to become an invincible master, then I would have done it a long time ago! But I tell you, it's useless! When you master this big 6, personal strength is only small! Even if you have the power of Mr. Qiu, so what? Unless you are another Mr. Qiu! So what? Can you experience the joy of creating a new era? Can you appreciate the kind of accomplishment that makes everything flourish in your hands?"
Seth suddenly laughed again, "You know what? I've always been very optimistic about you, Roddy!"
He smiled as if he was very proud: "Out of the thousands of students in the Empire, I picked you at a glance! Do you remember how you came to the Tulip Family? How did you meet my sister?"
"Is it you? Is it you...... You arranged it?" Roddy frowned.
"Yes!" Seth said in a calm tone, "I was the one who paid you to be a thug outside the city. You all think you're attacking the wrong person, but you're not. I paid you for it...... Well, you know what? I've been watching you for a long time...... Your swordsmanship course has always been number one, you have a lot of potential, you have good qualifications, your character is strong, and your body is similar to me...... You have a very pure character, no vices and bad habits, you have no background, just a commoner...... It's so much, it's been a year, and I think you're a man who can be made a hero! It's perfect...... Except for your face, but luckily, I know that my sister has a magic mask in her hand, and I happen to know my sister's personality very well...... So, I gave it a bold try! I didn't expect it to work!"
"In order to get you hooked, I first inquired about your friend and knew that you were short of money. I paid that friend of yours to make him a fortune. Then I knew he would definitely come with you...... So, I succeeded! That night, you were hired as thugs and you attacked the wrong target...... Actually, no, it was not a mistake, but a 'coincidence' arranged by me! Under my arrangement, with the help of old Mark...... You! Roddy! A commoner boy who has entered the tulip family! Who do you think I left so many books and so many notes for? I am Roddy for you! I can't be by your side, but I want to teach you to be rebellious, to be strong, to teach you the ability to be a qualified commander! Teach you the true qualities necessary to be a hero! Gradually transformed into a new hero of the empire!"
"These are all ......," Roddy began to tremble.
"Yes, it's all me. Seth said coldly: "I did it!"
This person, with a high-spirited attitude, looked at the two top powerhouses in front of him, but the gaze in his eyes seemed to have a lofty look: "Now, choose!"
Silent......
Roddy's eyes were dead, and he could only hear his heart beating again and again, and there seemed to be an indescribable bitterness and humiliation in his heart! Then, his body trembled slightly, as if a strange emotion filled his whole body......
His expression was also complicated, with anger on his face, excitement on his face, disappointment and sneer......
Mr. Qiu raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.
At this time, Luo Di suddenly laughed!
Roddy stood up straight, like a javelin, the blankness in his eyes was finally gone, he smiled happily and calmly, and the anger and anger of his previous time were gone...... Disappear into this smile.
He looked at Seth in front of him and said softly.
His words were not as exciting, as high-spirited, and as gorgeous as Seth's.
But his tone was very serious, as if he was saying something very simple......
Roddy smiled and said this:
"Seth, I think, you're pathetic. Really pathetic!"
