Chapter 455: Thoughts
As Xiao Qiang left, the law enforcement hall fell silent again, only the scattered figures were lying on the ground, and the golems seemed to have become witnesses to the facts in front of them.
But the golem is a dead thing after all, even if it has magic in it, but in the face of absolute power, in a state of no one to control, dead things are dead things after all, they can't change everything in reality, they can't have any impact on reality, just like Xiaoqiang in the past, it's just a tool for outsiders to manipulate.
The dead silence in the law enforcement hall lasted until sunset, and with the slightly dim afterglow slowly sprinkled in the law enforcement hall, Lu Feng, who had been fainting all day, slowly woke up at this moment, and what came into his eyes was an empty high platform, and the cold wind around him and the cold touch made Lu Feng confused for a while.
"What's wrong with me? Why is it in the Law Enforcement Hall? ”
There was a thick doubt in Lu Feng's voice, it seemed that he had forgotten his previous memories at this moment, and as his arms were supported by his body, he looked around and realized the scattered figures that had fallen to the ground, these people Lu Feng knew, they were the knights of the Punishment Palace, but why did he fall with them in the Law Enforcement Hall, could it be that he was attacked?
Thinking of the existence of this possibility, Lu Feng's confused head woke up instantly, and while looking around, he didn't see any traces of the battle, only more than ten piles of ashes on the ground were placed there like mounds, as for the rest, Lu Feng didn't find anything, and even everything with Xiaoqiang this morning seemed to have been forgotten at this moment.
Lu Feng, who was not in the same situation, dragged his heavy body to the front of a knight of the Punishment Palace, and when he used his magic power to make the other party sober, he asked about the doubts in his heart.
"Why am I in the Law Enforcement Hall? Have we been attacked? ”
The Knight of the Punishment Hall who was woken up also had a blank look on his face, and the look of confusion in his eyes for Lu Feng's inquiry was no less than that of Lu Feng when he was awake before.
"Lord Lu, I don't know, I really can't remember."
For the punishment knight's answer, the doubt in Lu Feng's heart also became more and more intense, as if in order to verify some guesses, he woke up the other fainting knights one by one, and after the same question was asked on dozens of people, the strange thing was that the answer he got was surprisingly consistent, and it seemed that everyone present had forgotten what had happened before.
Lu Feng is not a fool, he naturally understands the strangeness of the current situation as he has been in a high position all the year round, so he took out a scroll, even if the magic in it was activated, but as the magic light enveloped everyone, the doubt in Lu Feng's eyes was even stronger, just because the magic that probed the curse was not the slightest abnormal, it seemed that they were not cursed.
"It's not a curse, what is it? Could it be that someone erased all of our memories? ”
Thinking of the existence of this possibility, Lu Feng's eyes suddenly became solemn, and he immediately sat down cross-legged, mobilizing his divine thoughts and began to investigate his own situation.
But as the divine thoughts wandered around his body, and even probed in the spiritual sea for a long time, with Lu Feng's strength now, he still did not detect the slightest abnormality, which made Lu Feng panic inexplicably, and slowly got up and looked at the catalog on the high platform of the law enforcement hall.
As if he had found a clue, Lu Feng walked over quickly, picked up the document and read it, but as he passed bit by bit, the confusion in his eyes did not fade at all, but showed a more and more puzzled look on his face.
"What's going on? Why are there detailed information about the children of the thirteen halls in the Law Enforcement Hall, and have I done anything? ”
Lu Feng, who didn't know why, sat down slowly, but the chair behind him was already crumbling because of the previous attack of the violent energy, and it immediately shattered into dust under this seat.
This scene surprised Lu Feng, and he immediately observed the state of the chair after stabilizing his body, and saw that the chair made of iron and wood had turned into dust under his touch, Lu Feng didn't think that he could reach such a point with his own strength, obviously there must be another reason for all this.
Lu Feng is not stupid, after simply thinking about it, he concluded that there must be an answer in his disappeared memory, but if he wants his memory to disappear, unless someone can reach the Pope's strength, even if the Pope forcibly erases his memory, with Lu Feng's current strength, it is impossible to completely remember it, and the sporadic paintings will still remain in the memory.
But now his memory is all about it, and he can't remember everything before, this kind of means and strength have surpassed the Pope, beyond Lu Feng's cognition of this world, and invisibly Lu Feng's heart tightened, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately left the Law Enforcement Hall, and then flew quickly in the direction of the Pope's Palace.
And at this moment, the old man in the Papal Palace was staring at a huge crystal in front of him in a daze, like a stump of Alzheimer's tree, motionless, but the strange thing is that the breath on the old man's body seems to be combined with the huge crystal, and the frequency of the breath revealed by the two is the same, not to mention, it is even more difficult to distinguish from each other, as if the old man is the crystal, and the crystal is like the old man.
The quiet atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of footsteps, and the old man with closed eyes slowly opened his eyes at this moment, there was a flash of fluorescence in those eyes, and there were infinite stars circulating, as if there was a different kind of world in the seemingly cloudy eyeballs.
The footsteps behind him were a little hurried, which the old man heard in his ears, and when he slowly turned around, he saw Lu Feng kneeling on one knee with a solemn face, and his breath was a little scattered.
"Lu Feng, is there something wrong?"
Lu Feng lowered his head and said in a panicked voice.
"Your Majesty, my memory seems to have been erased? I don't remember anything that happened inside the Law Enforcement Hall, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't get the slightest clue. ”
The Pope nodded slowly, there didn't seem to be any surprise in his eyebrows, and even surprise, even frowning, did not appear, but when Lu Feng's voice fell, his figure slowly came to the other party's body, and when the dry palm gently pressed on Lu Feng's forehead, the pictures that seemed to be sealed also appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes again.
When the palm of his hand was withdrawn, the Pope sighed softly and said words that made Lu Feng extremely puzzled.
"What should come will come."
Lu Feng looked up and asked.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."
And the Pope did not give any explanation, but simply reassured.
"You go and rest first, I understand everything."
The Pope had an order, and Lu Feng had to go to the village, but because of the confusion and panic in his heart, he disobeyed the Pope's words for the first time in his life, and still knelt on the ground without saying a word, as if waiting for the Pope's explanation.
Seeing this, the Pope sighed again, his fingers were raised slightly, and a ball of energy containing some memories instantly hit Lu Feng's head, and when a burst of familiar and unfamiliar pictures appeared in Lu Feng's mind, his whole person was stunned in place, and the horror in his eyes exploded like never before.
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on? Are these my memories? ”
The Pope nodded discretionarily and said.
"You've been forcibly sealed with certain memories, and that's why you're confused."
Lu Feng seemed to understand when he heard this, but after recalling the appearance and consistency just now, his expression became extremely solemn.
"Your Majesty, did the Holy Son really kill those thirteen hall disciples?"
Papal tract.
"Isn't it good to kill?"
Lu Feng was startled, looked at the old man in front of him incredulously, and said in a panic.
"However, killing them will cause chaos within our Divine Cult Empire, Your Majesty, can't you see it?"
Lu Feng's face was full of worry, and it could be heard from the worry in his words, he was really for the Divine Cult Empire, otherwise, when he recalled everything before, why would he put aside the person who gave him the seal, and instead mentioned Xiao Qiang's actions for the first time?
At this point, the Pope saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also satisfied, but when answering Lu Feng's question, the old man who seemed to be drooping burst out with a sky-high aura, and said in an extremely confident tone.
"They can try."
Seeing the Pope's attitude, Lu Feng didn't dare to continue to ask, but he knew that this behavior would definitely provoke countless rights and wrongs, but the worry in his heart did not completely disappear, even if there was a discretionary response from the Pope, even if it was an admiration for the Pope's strength, but with a big chaos, the strength of the Divine Empire would inevitably be affected, and it was not a good thing for the Divine Empire to explain that other empires took advantage of the situation.
It was precisely because he was able to see everything clearly that the worry on Lu Feng's face became even stronger, and the Pope sighed slightly when he saw it in his eyes and was worried.
"Lu Feng, how many years have you followed me?"
Lu Feng responded.
"It's been thirty years."
"Thirty years, it's really a flick of a finger, a lot of things have happened in the past thirty years, I see every scene in my eyes and remember it in my heart, but do you know my ambition?"
Seeing that the Pope sighed, Lu Feng seemed to be together with some of the past events of the year, and said in an unidentified tone.
"Your Majesty, I still remember the oath I made back then, and I have never forgotten it."
"Yes, you haven't forgotten, but what about the others?"
"They? ......, they may have been distracted by the luxury in front of them, and forgotten their former glory and purpose, but I think that as long as Your Majesty gives the order, they will definitely carry out your orders without going to the death. ”
The Pope shook his head and said slowly.
"No, no, when people get old, they will be afraid of death, and when people are comfortable, they will not want to come out of there, and the oath they once made may become child's play, and when they are really used, the drag behind them will make them disobey my orders, don't you see this?"
"I ......."
Lu Feng was a little speechless when he was said, and he had the intention to defend the hall master of the Thirteen Palaces, but thinking that what the Pope said was true, he had no choice but to keep silent.
"Look, you can see and understand clearly, can't I see it?"
"But, but this can't let the Holy Son kill the children of the Thirteen Palaces, those people are implicating the Lord of the Thirteen Palaces, I'm afraid that they will be angry and kill each other."
"Isn't that bad?"
The Pope's words suddenly stunned Lu Feng, and after finally digesting the other party's words, he said incredulously.
"Your Majesty, you really want to move the Thirteen Palaces."
"It's time to move, otherwise, I, the Pope, will be dead in name."
At this moment, Lu Feng seemed to understand the Pope's painstaking efforts, but there was still a lot of reluctance in his heart, after all, the Thirteen Hall Masters had a good relationship with Lu Feng, and coupled with the feelings of his colleagues over the years, he was really a little reluctant.
But at the moment, the Pope's words are firm, and he has obviously moved his heart, no matter how Lu Feng dissuades him, he may not be able to change His Majesty's mind, if he really does that, he may attract the Pope's dislike, or even suspicion, so after struggling for a long time, Lu Feng finally chose to give up.
The Pope is not a fool, and his understanding of Lu Feng's character is deeper than that of himself, so when he saw Lu Feng's struggling expression, he was a little disappointed, Ci is not in charge of the army, this is a lesson for thousands of years, and Lu Feng seems to be fair, but the weakness of his heart will be revealed in front of the Pope all the time.
Such a person may be a big piece of material as a confidant, but it is a little insufficient to let him attack the city, it is precisely because of this realization that when no one is available, the Pope will arrange for the Holy Son to deal with the affairs of the children of the Thirteen Palaces, and the purpose of choosing the Holy Son is actually to see that the Holy Son has nothing to do with the Thirteen Palaces, and he is already hostile to the Divine Empire, so the Pope has already expected the result when he gives the order.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Lu Feng used the scroll he gave him to save his twin brother and then caused some uncontrollable things, which surprised the Pope and at the same time was helpless.
Helpless, but the Pope didn't care too much about the current situation, just because he had many means in his hands to control Xiao Qiang, even if the other party wanted to have the mind of the Divine Sect Empire immediately after killing the children of the Thirteen Palaces, the Pope could still let him obediently stay here to serve himself.
Slowly retracting his thoughts, the Pope's vain gaze looked at Lu Feng again, seeing that the worry on his face still hadn't disappeared, and he also lamented the other party's character in his heart, so he said.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about things you shouldn't think about, there's still a lot of things to deal with right now."
The Pope's words also made Lu Feng's mind come back and asked.
"Did Your Majesty mean the matter of the Holy Maiden?"
The Pope nodded.
"That's one thing, and the second is the reaction of the thirteen halls."
Lu Feng's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked.
"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with the backlash of the Thirteen Palaces?"
"It's very simple, everything is handled by the Holy Son alone, no matter what mess he makes, everything is up to me, you don't need to intervene, and you don't need to help which party, when things turn upside down, I will naturally sit back and reap the benefits."
