Chapter 165: A Conversation with Clement
() Olin VI's manial laughter came to an abrupt end, and his body suddenly fell backwards to the ground, where he did not move again.
At first, Wren thought that Orin VI had just passed out intermittently, as before, but it didn't take long for him to realize that the situation might not be what he thought.
I'm afraid that this time Olin VI will not stand up again......
Wren didn't confirm his suspicions, he hid behind the wall of the hallway, not daring to go out, even though he knew very well that he was just hiding his ears and stealing the bell, and those who watched everything in the dark knew that he was hiding here.
After the fall of Orin VI, the whole of Reisburg was once again calm, and nothing was to be seen except Clement, who still stood under the street lamp.
Wren crouched behind the wall, both worried about the change and expecting everything to return to normal.
In fear, he stuck his head out of the wall and looked in Clement's direction. The old man seemed to see him and beckoned to him, and Wren's heart couldn't help but tighten.
After a psychological struggle, Wren walked out from behind the wall, thinking briskly about Clement.
But the bigger the step, the more it proves how nervous Ren is in his heart, and the current momentum is just a strong outsider.
Because he felt that he was close to the truth about those who were behind the scenesβbut unfortunately under the watchful eyes of those who were behind the scenes.
Walking up to Clement, the other party smiled at him kindly, but the ghost light in his eyes made Wren look down and dare not look directly, but when he looked down, he could see the lower half of the ghost's body.
"You don't mind walking with me, do you?"
Clement spoke first, and he invited Wren to walk around the campus with him.
Wren looked at Orin VI, who was lying on the ground not far away, meaning leave him alone.
Clement smiled, so that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, "Seeing me like this, he left happily, maybe it was a good ending for him." β
Wren nodded and followed Clement's side.
He felt that the other party took the initiative to call him out, there must be something he wanted to tell him, and maybe he could answer a lot of his doubts.
"You must have a lot of questions for me." Clement said unhurriedly as he walked slowly with Wren in Reisburg, not like a ghost wandering at night, but like a grandson who walked after dinner. "But before I do, I want you to answer me a question."
"What's the problem?"
Unexpectedly, after starting a walk with Clement, Wren suddenly felt as if the previous tension was gone, and asked this question very calmly.
However, Clement didn't ask a question, but closed his eyes and told the story, maybe because Wren was looking at him, not wanting the other party to be frightened by the cold soul fire in his eyes, maybe he was just remembering something.
"You know what? During the reign of Olin VI, he was called 'the Great Olin VI' by his people, and was highly revered, and if it had not happened to him, he might have appeared in the history books and was regarded as a model for the people as a son, if not considering his cruel methods to foreign races. β
"But for a long time before that, no one cared about the aliens. I remember my father on my 10th birthday when he captured ten dwarven civilians and cut off their heads to celebrate me, and before that, I had the impression that the people in the realm called him 'Merciful Lord'. β
Clement recounted all this in a calm tone, and Wren did not say anything, just listened silently.
"I didn't agree with my father's approach from that time, no matter how much I killed, the world didn't get better, and the people in the territory didn't have a better life. So I left home and traveled for a long time, during which time I realized that everyone was suffering the same thing, but everyone was making it happen all the time. β
"As you should have heard, I and some friends founded the city of Brica and pushed for the signing of the armistice, and of course, during this time, I also placed my king, Orin VI, under house arrest. I told others that I could convince him that with his help, our plans would go more smoothly. Everyone agreed, and I did the same, but every time I faced Orin VI, I was met with endless curses. Then, one day, I killed him by mistake. β
βοΌοΌοΌβ Wren's eyes widened, and he was taken aback by the news that came out of Clement's mouth, which seemed to be somewhat different from what Orin VI himself had said, and ......
"But, he just ......"
Clement's eyes were still closed, and he took Wren around a corner, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I pierced his heart with a sword and buried him with my own hands, this guy may have crawled out of the ground with extreme unwillingness." The original king was like a beggar, but the real funny thing was me, he saw me like this, but he died laughing to death. β
Wren was silent, the birth of ghosts is often because of unwillingness or unfulfilled wishes, and they are living in pain when they die, Clement's appearance is no better than that of Orin VI, I'm afraid that Orin VI laughs at this.
Thinking of this, Wren gradually understood something, he looked at Clement, "I know what you want to ask me, now that Olin VI has left happily, you want to ask me, did you do anything wrong, right?" β
Clement nodded, and stopped under his feet.
"Yes, we did a lot of things and gave up a lot of things to get to where we were. At that time, we were single-mindedly focused on the goal, and we became more and more crazy, willing to remove all obstacles for the goal. But after I killed Olin VI, I kept wondering, is he a damned man? We have sacrificed so much, should we be? β
Wren sighed, "Why do you people always like to ask me questions like this? β
Clement's words seemed to implicit anticipation: "So what's your answer?" β
Wren pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to answer, but instead of looking at Clement, he faced the dark place, "I think, Mr. Clement, everything has been done, it was all hundreds of years ago, you are already a dead man, and it has been written in the history books, don't think about it so much, anyway, you can't do anything if you think about it now." If you're really wrong and there's something bad, then somebody is going to realize it, and they're going to point to you in the history books and say, 'Look, this is this fool who did all that stupid thing!' If no one says that, either you've done nothing wrong or they're a fool better than you!' β
When Clement heard this, he was stunned at first, and then began to laugh out loud.
The laughter grew louder and louder, and Wren suddenly had a bad premonition......
