Even if Iglau didn't have any accidents, this trip to Yasaph Castle was part of Qi Lang's plan. He had planned to discuss with Old Henry about the possibility of Credon hiding in Snow Wolf Canyon, but now that the fact was almost certain, they were indeed there, hiding under Old Henry's nose, and the unexpected disappearance of Igro probably meant that they would take action soon.

If there is a huge change on the side of the Luman Empire, it means that the chain of the anti-Otto Empire alliance will be broken, and once Jenny unexpectedly launches an attack in a few months, the entire continent will be plunged into a bitter battle, and at that time, the war situation will be full of uncertainties, and the final victory will go without worry, and innocent civilians will definitely suffer greatly. Therefore, Creedon, who is hiding in the dark, must be cleared as soon as possible.

With the badge that Henry Sr. had brought with them, Chiran and Gulf passed through the three gates of the castle of Asaph and were led into the reception hall of the palace by a high-ranking officer.

Old Henry was already waiting there. He was a lot haggard, the wrinkles on his forehead were deeper, and the beard on his cheeks was already gray, it seemed that Marcus had been missing for nearly a whole year, which had dealt a great blow to him, but he still had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were still bright, which showed that a generation of kings had not been crushed, even if the god of vengeance was standing in front of him, he still had the strength and courage to fight to the death.

"Finally, we meet again, soldiers. King Henry gave a joking salute.

Qi Lang and Gulf hurriedly took two steps forward. He bowed deeply to old Henry, "How are you, King Henry?"

"I was fine, but now I'm not good. Old Henry waved his hand at the two of them, "for it is not proper for me to see a king forgetting his identity and treating another king with the courtesy of a courtier." ”

Qi Lang smiled: "I don't think there's anything wrong with that, Uncle Henry, because you are my grandfather's student, that is, you are my elder." It couldn't be more right to salute you. ”

"That's right. Old Henry pointed to his chair. Motioning for Qi Lang and Gulf to sit down together, he stretched out his finger and drew a circle towards the waiter behind him, which should be the instruction for serving tea: "I heard that there are new variables here, is that so?"

"Yes. His Majesty the King. Qi Lang nodded solemnly. "My judgment in the letter has been confirmed. And I expect them to act soon, hence ......"

"Don't be in a hurry, you're talking too fast. Old Henry still smiled faintly. "You should lower the speed of your speech a bit. If you are fast, you are prone to make mistakes, and that is a common problem of you young people. There are situations where we can't make mistakes, and we should put an end to them. ”

"Yes, you're right. Qi Lang nodded respectfully.

When the tea was offered, old Henry took a cup for himself, and motioned for Qi Lang and Gulf to take a cup each, and sat there slowly blowing open the tea, smelling the tea, and then sipping it gently with great enjoyment.

The scene fell silent for a moment, so quiet that Gulf could almost hear the other two swallowing. He couldn't sit still: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but ...... We're afraid we'll have to do it quickly, or we'll be too late once those Credons get moving. ”

Old Henry laughed, "Your name is Gulf, isn't it? I've heard of you, and Marcus seems to call you Little Goo." It is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to meet you last time you stayed in the palace. Tell me, do you think my palace is still magnificent?"

"Uh...... It's magnificent. Gulf was a little confused, "uh...... Well, it's big and looks exquisite. But...... How many soldiers do you have on board? I hope the more the better, after all, according to what we know, there may be a lot of people in Credon......"

Old Henry still smiled: "Look, do you see the metal bars in the joints of the walls, which are gilded and very rare, and this floor, which is marble, each weighing more than a ton, and the chairs on which you sit, which are hand-carved rosewood, and covered with sea lion skin, are extremely precious." ”

"Oh yes, that's a rarity. I guess Gulf was secretly already rolling his eyes, "But I have to say, we're going to be too late." ”

"You guys are some of the most anxious guys, and I like that. Old Henry smiled happily, "I was like this when I was your age, and every day I was so anxious that I burned like a fire in my buttocks, and I was eager to destroy what I couldn't see at once, until a noble elder told me to plan and then act." He looked at Qi Lang: "That was taught to me by Mr. Luo Wu, don't you think that makes sense?"

Qi Lang picked up the teacup smoothly and nodded slightly: "I'd love to hear more from you." ”

Gulf turned his face in surprise with an expression of disbelief, which means, what the hell are you doing, this is not a good time to chat!

Old Henry continued: "You probably don't know what I'm talking about, for you've been busy with business, and you've gotten into it so much that you've developed a habit of neglecting to think. But if you use a little bit of your brain, even one in ten thousand, you will find that the things that make you anxious, panic, anxious are not so serious at all. In fact, all of us are the same, the most important thing to do is to avoid mistakes, thoughts, words, actions, decisions...... All that will have an impact on the outside world, mistakes need to be avoided. ”

"May I think so?" Qi Lang finally broke the silence, and as old Henry prompted, he also lowered his voice, "Are you analyzing Credon?"

Old Henry stared carefully into Qi Lang's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up little by little. "Yes and no. "I'm just dissecting myself...... I think that's going to work for you, the first king we've ever ever ever really renounced the throne of their own accord. ”

Qi Lang nodded, falling back into silence. But it was the silence of deafness, the silence of beginning to think seriously.

"Do you know why we love to use wheels to describe history?" Old Henry's question did not really require an answer, for he explained it himself, "The wheel of history rumbles forward, unstoppable, rushing towards progress." 'Forward', what a good illusion, as if the galloping carriage would eventually reach its destination. But don't forget, it's a wheel, it goes on and on, like a patch on a tire, always going around and then coming back to us again. ”

"That's reincarnation, isn't it?" asked Gulph for Zilang. He had heard this word from Gila that was difficult for him to understand and was impressed.

"Reincarnation, yes, is reincarnation. Old Henry raised his finger again, drawing circles in the air, but this time it was not a signal for tea," to put it simply, it was repetition. We repeat everything we have done, some good, some bad, some right, some wrong. Of course, just history will always magnify our mistakes with malice, and then the advanced historians will jump out and proudly declare, "Look, you despicable human beings, history repeats itself again." ”

Qi Lang put the teacup in his hand aside, savoring Old Henry's words seriously. Obviously, he wasn't just chatting, and he wasn't simply complaining. All this he said may be difficult for him to understand in the short term, but he is a very wise elder, and what he wants to express should be closely related to his future. Reincarnation, the deceased Mr. Dustless has also brought up this topic, but he is speaking more ethereally, and old Henry, by expressing his regret about Credon, is now making the concept of nothingness more concrete—that will help, and probably have something to do with the final way out.

"Hundreds of years ago, or more, I don't know. He continued, "At the beginning of the liberation from ignorance, the people saw the light in the new kingdom, and for a moment, the people were inspired and the world was turned to their hearts. And so, the wheels spun and rolled unstoppably towards the country of everyone's dreams. But as time went on, one mistake after another accumulated, and patches began to appear on the wheels, which grew bigger and bigger, and became more and more obstructive to the wheels to roll. The wheels began to slow down, began to jolt, and began to be unsustainable. So, let's change the wheel, abandon the old, and let the new be born. But in the end? The good times didn't last long -- as soon as the wheels were on the road, trouble was bound to come in. Whether it's my Luman Empire or your brand new Zonghao Kingdom, sooner or later, there will be mistakes. ”

"But......" Qi Lang was confused, "is that inevitable?"

Old Henry took off his crown, revealing the top of his head, which was almost bare, and smiled: "Mistakes, it is inevitable—no matter how careful we are, no matter how slow we speak, no matter how deliberate, how careful we are...... It's always going to happen. Because, we are only human beings, and we are far from the omniscient gods. So, don't resent the world, which is the result of our own mistakes, and don't resent the gods, who gave us the world and let us experience his painstaking efforts over and over again in our mistakes - he is forgiving enough......"

"Then what we should do is ......" Qi Lang figured it out a little, although he was not quite sure, but in his guess, the answer was the way out - the final way out. (To be continued......)
