The people from the Dream Supervision Bureau wanted to come, and Liao Ji naturally would not refuse, and the two took advantage of the gap in the middle, and William chatted with Liao Ji again.

"I just heard from the staff that Dr. Liao Ji and Professor Einz had a very happy conversation and discussed a lot of topics about the Emperor, and I really admired Dr. Liao Ji's academic skills to have in-depth exchanges with such an academic authority."

"I can't talk about it, but it is Professor Einz who pointed out and corrected many of my mistakes."

"Heh, Dr. Liao Ji is modest, speaking of which, in fact, I have always had a question about the emperor that I want to ask, just taking advantage of this idle time, I want to know. What do you think of such a legendary figure as the "Ash Emperor"? ”

After this question, Manager William really showed that he was listening carefully, and Liao Ji thought about it, and it didn't take much time before he said bluntly:

"In my opinion, the Ash Emperor is more like a symbol of the times than a character."

"A symbol of the times?" William clearly didn't understand.

"Well, I believe that even if there are no ashes, there will be the next Ember Emperor, the Gray Emperor, the Dark Ember Emperor. The era of turbidity will be ended, the world will definitely usher in redemption, the emperor is a symbol of salvation, everyone can become the emperor, but this time it happened that the person named "Ash" took it, that's all. ”

It can be seen that Liao Ji's words completely exceeded William's expectations, making the chief manager on the other side open his mouth, as if it took a long time to recover.

Later, William admired a little and said: "Should I say that Dr. Liao Ji's perspective is very novel, or is it very bold?" I have never heard a scholar dare to say such about the Emperor, you are the first, sure enough, Professor Einz will chat with you, not without reason. ”

"It's just," William's voice changed.

"I'm sorry Dr. Liao Ji, but my thoughts are the opposite of yours, you think that the times create people, but I think that this is an era created by people."

"It's not that there will be an emperor in this world, but because of the ashes, the world can be saved, and we can sit here and chat."

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Dr. Liao Ji has ever heard of the organization of the Old Alliance?"

Without waiting for Liao Ji to answer, William continued as if talking to himself: "I only learned about this organization a few years ago, and legend has it that the members of this organization all refer to themselves as "forsaken", and the reason is that their ancestors are all from those subordinates who were abandoned and abandoned by the emperor. ”

"I dug deep into this and discovered many older secrets of the old times, such as . The human body is refined, and legend has it that the emperor will select the Doomers with similar abilities, deprive them of all their abilities, and finally gather them into the body of a certain person. ”

In addition, the emperor will also specially like raising domestic animals, so that some races with special abilities, called "special", continue to multiply in the rear, expanding the number of races, so that when a certain type of special is needed on the battlefield in the front, it can be immediately consumed like bullets. ”

"For example, the Emperor will deliberately put some of his subordinates, even his cronies, in danger, just to force out their potential."

William gave Liao Ji a lot of examples, he used the old alliance as a clue to investigate the cruelty of the emperor, but after that, he showed a "yearning" look to Liao Ji.

"Don't get me wrong, Dr. Liao Ji, I said this, it's not an accusation against the Emperor, it's completely the opposite, I really admire the Ash Emperor, because these behaviors, if it's me, I really can't do it without changing my face, I can do it so ruthlessly, rationally, cruelly, and ruthlessly. Everything is for the sake of victory, against turbidity. ”

"Dr. Liao Ji, I believe you are the same, because we are all human beings, and if we are human, we will have feelings, and to a certain extent, feelings are precisely the biggest obstacle to our progress, isn't it?"

"If you can't abandon humanity and everything in the cruel old world, I'm afraid the end of the world will only usher in destruction."

"That's why I think that not everyone can become an emperor, throughout the history of five hundred years, only Ash alone has truly given up his emotions and is willing to sacrifice his humanity in exchange for the salvation of the world, this sin and psychological pressure, I will tremble just thinking about it, I am sure that there is no one, and there will never be a second Ash Emperor in this world."

Speaking of this, William let out a long breath, leaned his back slightly against the back of the chair, and he looked up at the ceiling, as if he was talking to Liao Ji, and as if he was muttering to himself.

"It's a pity that I wasn't born in that era, so I might as well join the ashes queue if I fought to death, and I wanted to talk to the emperor."

Liao Ji caught a trace of excitement and excitement from William's body now.

The color of "yearning" that appeared earlier shows that William will see the Ash Emperor as a goal, a person he wants to be.

And now the trembling excitement seems to say that William feels that he is moving forward on this path, chasing the back of the Emperor, and in a way, he sees himself as the successor of the Ash Emperor as well, no. Should it be said that he is the inheritor of the spirit of the Great?

And what he called the spirit of the Great is

Sacrifice.

In order to achieve a grand purpose, it is possible to abandon everything, even the spirit of humanity.

As for what William now sees as an incomparably great goal that can also lead humanity to progress and prosperity, it may be.

The AI in front of the office desk suddenly popped up a screen, which was a prompt for a visitor, and through the AI monitoring screen, it could be seen that outside William's office, there was a mother and son waiting nervously.

William gestured to the AI screen to give passage, and the office door immediately opened, letting the mother and son in.

Liao Ji glanced at it, this should be William's so-called person from the Dream Supervision Bureau, but the other party's image is a little different from Liao Ji's imagination.

As a government department, the Supervision Bureau, in front of William, the head of a company, looked very nervous and restrained, and even the mother was holding her son's hand, still trembling faintly.

As for the little boy in his mother's hand, perhaps he was still young, but he was much more relaxed than her mother, just looking at the manager's office with big eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

Formal meetings will certainly not be accompanied by relatives, which should be private.

"Lord William" The mother glanced at Liao Ji who was sitting next to the sofa, and then quickly moved her gaze to the manager in front of the desk.

"Mrs. Grande doesn't have to do this, just call me William, are you still here for your husband's business?"

"Yes, that's right, Lord William, the day after tomorrow is David's birthday, can you please give my husband a day off, just, just one day. No, half a day is fine! ”

In the face of Mrs. Grand's pleading, William looked apologetic, and after asking Mrs. to sit down as usual, he made a cup of tea, and then said in a regretful tone:

"I'm sorry ma'am, but your husband has an important task for the company now, and even I have no right to contact him, and it is likely that I will not be able to reunite with my family during this time, I am very sorry for this."

"Important task. Tell me the truth, Lord William, if my husband is not, is he in Zero Illusion." The mother seemed to be unable to control her emotions at once, covering her mouth and trembling, her voice choked.

Seeing this, the little boy next to his mother was immediately anxious and puzzled, and he asked in a childish voice, "Mom doesn't cry!" Don't cry! Me, I don't care, it's okay if Dad doesn't come to the birthday, I. I'm fine! ”

"You don't understand David, you don't understand."

The mother hugged the little boy tightly, and after a long while, William saw that his mother's mood was a little more stable, so he comforted him: "Madam, I'm really sorry, but this path was chosen by your husband himself, and he signed a contract with the company, and what I can do after that is to inform you as soon as I get the news." ”

"Understood, I see, I got it, thank you, Lord William"

The mother was about to turn around and leave with her son, when William introduced Liao Ji next to his mother.

When she heard that Liao Ji was an expert in ancient studies and had a lot of research on the old world, the mother immediately thought that if her husband came out in the future, she could learn some ancient knowledge from a university scholar like Liao Ji, which would be life-saving for her husband's current work!

Therefore, her mother immediately respected Liao Ji very much, and for Liao Ji to know about the Dream Supervision Bureau, she agreed to make an appointment this afternoon, and when she went home and settled David, she would meet Liao Ji in the café.
