Chapter 198: The Southern Army rebels

"Allie. Western Asia? The man muttered softly.

"Father?" Alicia was also a little unsure.

No wonder she was unsure, because the current Moriah was so different from the Moriah of the past.

Not only is he dozens of years younger, but the sick face of the past has also disappeared.

Instead, it was the appearance of a mature middle-aged man in his thirties.

But from his eyebrows, he can still see some similarities with Alicia.

Char's eyelids narrowed slightly, "Sebas said that his job in the imperial capital was taken over by an intern Grim Reaper, and it looks like it should be you." ”

Obviously, because of the war, Hades opened a convenient passage, so that Moria, who had just passed away not long ago, but had a gift, became a god of death in a short period of time.

If it were based on the kind of efficiency that Sebas had told Char before, even if Moria had the talent to become a god of death, it would have to wait for a while.

Moriah looked at Char, who he obviously didn't recognize, with a little doubt in his eyes.

"Forgotten?" Char teased, "You gave me that child, didn't you?"

Moria's eyes widened, apparently recognizing Char.

"You're the one!?"

"Find a place to sit." Char said.

Moriah silently put the things in her hand on the cabinet on the side, and said in silence for a moment.

"There are rules in the underworld, we can't easily come into contact with people in this world, especially our relatives, as a god of death, we must abide by the boundaries between life and death."

The reason why Sebas didn't mention Moriah to Char was actually because of this rule, because at that time, Char's next to him were basically Moria's children.

He also believed that as long as Char wanted to know something, he would definitely know.

In a sense, although Sebas is in awe of Char, he will still keep his rules.

"Don't worry, they won't bother you." Char said, "I know some friends in Hades. ”

Moria was silent, Sebas left in a hurry, and he didn't explain much, but he really mentioned Char.

Or, because he had already learned most of the things during the Reaper's training, most of Sebas's admonitions were about Char.

He admonished him to have absolute respect for the person in front of him.

Because even the Great Grim Reaper of Hades is so.

He came back to his senses, then nodded at Char.

They said they were looking for a place, but in fact they went straight to Char's tavern, found a corner and ordered a cocktail and sat down.

Moriah looked around, "I didn't know there was such a place in the Imperial Capital. ”

"Now you know." Char said, "You can come here more often in the future, and Sebas will come here often, but it seems that he didn't tell you." ”

"He told me you had a tavern." "It's just that I've never been here." ”

Char's jaw.

Moriah looked at Alicia and said with a soft look in her eyes, "During this time, I have been looking for news about you, and although this lord said that you are safe, I have not been very reassured.

Because not even the Book of the Dead of the Grim Reaper can't find your name. ”

This may also be why most of the people who have been chosen as the Grim Reaper in the past have been souls who have been in hell for hundreds of years.

Because the relatives and friends of these souls in this world are dead, and there are no bonds, or rather, the things they care about are in Hades.

In this way, the Grim Reaper who acts in the human world will not be distracted and will not do things that violate the rules.

And if there are relatives in the world, it will be difficult to avoid some abuse of power.

Moria's throat moved, as if he wanted to say a lot of words, but he swallowed them when the words came to his lips.

Because of Alicia's mother's affairs, Alicia's relationship with him has become very delicate in those years.

And after the marriage incident with West Farland, their relationship completely fell to the freezing point.

I want to open the conversation at the moment, but I don't know what to say.

After a moment, he slowly spit out a sentence, "How are you doing?" ”

"Good." Alicia nodded, "Or, better than ever, I have a new life." ”

Moriah let out a long sigh of relief and smiled in relief, as if whispering to herself and to Alicia.

"That's good, that's good."

"I read the letter you gave me." Alicia said.

Moriah looked up at her.

"Life is short, and if you always live in the past, you won't have a future, will you?" Alicia looked at him quietly, "You've already died once, so let all the past fade away with the end of your life." ”

Moriah was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief, "You said the same thing to your mother. ”

"Mother?" Alicia seemed to realize something, and looked up at him.

"I saw her in Hades." Moria said, "Because of the good deeds she has done, she is in bliss."

It is a paradise in this world, where you can enjoy all the happiness and joy.

However, the Grim Reaper is not a blissful soul, so even I haven't seen her a few times, and if I can turn positive and move up a few more levels, maybe it'll be fine.

I've heard that a certain level of Grim Reaper's retirement benefit is to go to Elysium. ”

This was undoubtedly good news for Alicia, who murmured softly with a light smile on her face.

"When my mother built a slum almshouse, she was criticized by many officials and aristocrats.

They say that the mother is a vase living in an ivory tower, completely ignorant of reality, and only wastes taxes. ”

After a pause, Alicia continued.

But time will tell, and these nobles and corrupt officials who oppress the people will eventually pay the price for everything they have done.

Regardless of what they were like in life, after death, they are all the same. ”

"The almshouse was not a complete handout, and Anya's cash-for-work approach was arguably the best solution at the time.

But alas. For various reasons, the almshouse was not able to open. Moria's voice was low.

"I'm a teacher in a school now." Alicia said.

After a pause, she said, "Actually, it's not just me, Isabel is also there." ”

Moriah raised her eyebrows in surprise.

But then Alicia told him about Hogwarts.

The scenery is stunning, and the environment is more comfortable than the palace.

And the magic lessons there, and some interesting stories about her experiences at that school, about her naughty students.

Moriah also recounted some of his experiences after entering Hades.

Whether the knot between them has been eliminated, Char doesn't know.

But at this moment, they are like ordinary fathers and daughters in many ordinary people's families, chatting about some common things.

Char didn't interject, just quietly sipping a cocktail on the side.

How many people in this world can sit down and chat with their deceased loved ones?

Life and death are a well-defined gully that no one can easily cross, and once separated is a farewell, unless they also step into death.

Those terrifying ghosts are actually people that many people want to see, but never see again

This is a great opportunity for both Moria and Alicia.

After a moment, Moria's attention finally shifted to Char, and he spoke.

"These days, I have also been paying attention to that child's affairs, the battle report on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, I will read it every day."

He sighed, "I actually hoped that this child could win the help of the royal family, but I didn't expect him to have such talent and ability."

His changes should be related to you. ”

"Char is Arthur's teacher." "He's been teaching him all these years." ”

Moria's head was not surprised, "This is also this child's chance"

"Want to meet him?" Char said.

Moriah was silent for a moment, "But he's in the south, isn't he?" ”

"Open the door from here and you're there." Alicia said.

"But I can't leave my post without permission." Moria said, "I've come to see you, it's already a violation. ”

Char silently raised the cocktail in his hand and drank it down, his deep eyes dancing with a star-like brilliance, as if the whole world was in his eyes.

After a moment, he said.

"Sebas is back, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the imperial capital."

Moria fell silent.

"You still haven't put it down." Alicia looked at Moria, "You're scared, scared to see Arthur, right?" ”

Moria's eyelids drooped, and after a moment, he took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said in a low voice, "He is a prince who should have had a prosperous life, but because of me, he became an orphan and never even met his parents"

"At the very least, let him see his father, even if he can't see him again later." Alicia said.

Moria didn't reply, and after a moment, he let out a long sigh.

"Let's go over there, even if we don't meet, it's better to see from afar.

And, something big is happening over there. Char slowly got up and walked to the door, looking at Moria and Alicia.

"It's all about you."

Moria's brow was frowned, and he glanced at Alicia, who was also a little confused.

He struggled for a moment, but got up with Alicia and pushed open the door to the tavern with Char.

Although the place where they came in was the imperial capital, after they came out at this moment, it became the streets of the steam capital.

Normally, they walked out of the tavern and saw what was supposed to be a deserted street.

Although the quarantine period has ended, there are still few people going out because of the fear of the plague.

But at this moment, they saw corpses all over the ground.

All dressed in Britannian uniforms, the streets were stained red with blood, the storefronts on both sides were riddled with bullet holes, and there were even deep craters in the streets from artillery.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant water spread wantonly in the air, and shouts and gunfire came from all around.

Some Grim Reapers, floating in the sky above them, harvesting souls, looking at the number of these Grim Reapers, there should be quite a few people who died in the steam capital this time.

Moriah frowned, and at this moment, a god of death jumped from the roof, hooked the souls of the corpses on the ground one by one with the scythe in his hand, and turned into a small ball of souls and threw it into a black pocket.

They ignored Char and the others, as long as they didn't want to, ordinary people couldn't see them, and learning to ignore passers-by was also one of the subjects they had to learn after they became the god of death.

Moria stepped forward directly and asked, "What's going on, has the West Asian Empire come in?" ”

The Grim Reaper stopped where he was, and he turned his head to look Moriah up and down, quickly recognizing his identity.

"You should have been sent down to help, right?"

Moria didn't speak.

But the Grim Reaper continued to ask disapprovingly.

"Didn't the people over there tell you when they came?"

Moriah shook her head, "No. ”

"That looks like it's too rushed." The Grim Reaper whispered, "The Southern Army has rebelled, and Prince Viktor has led his army and the army inside the Steam to attack the Steam Capital.

Now the 300,000 Southern Army is preparing to encircle and suppress the Northern Army and kill Arthur the Great.

It is estimated that the casualties will be very large in the next few days. ”

"What!?" Moria's pupils constricted slightly.

Then, he was puzzled and said, "How can you rebel at this time?" ”

"I don't know, I know so much about what to do." The Grim Reaper said disapprerovingly, "Before you became the Grim Reaper, you must have been a Britannian who had been dead for a long time, right?"

Later, you will understand that you will see a lot of disputes like this later.

When I was in Europe, many nations perished under my witness.

And the country I used to be has also dissipated in the long river of time.

Human beings are such beings that for the sake of power and wealth, they can not hesitate to wield a butcher's knife against their own kind.

And that's just the beginning."

He whispered, "After this war, the army in the south will be extremely weak, and the Western Empire will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack Britannia."

So, before long, there will only be more people dying here.

Look at it, you're not a Britannian anymore, you're a Grim Reaper, a Hellworld. ”

Moriah fell silent, his face turning unusually ugly.

Alicia's expression on one side also became very gloomy.
