8. The foot sound of military boots (7)

As a meeting place that determines the direction of historical trends, a ten-square-meter room is too shabby. Considering the status of the participants further, the shabby atmosphere was completely sloppy.

It's like the big demon king is so depressed that he rides a women's bicycle to a fast food restaurant every day to work to support his family, and at the same time announces that the Sanping room is a dignified demon king city......

Finally, the furniture and refreshments are still handy, and the Darjeeling black tea and chiffon cake are also of high grade, otherwise it is estimated that some people will not be able to bear it and walk away.

"It's rude to only serve guests with coarse tea. ”

"No, it's enough. ”

"We're not here for afternoon tea anyway, are we? ”

Louis crossed his feet, sneered and gently blew away the heat of the black tea, and in response, his lips turned into the shape of a speaker.

"If you want to have tea, I would suggest a more suitable place. ”

As if genuinely sorry, Ji El sighed, gracefully circled the teacup with a silver spoon, and then asked:

"Sister, Jane. What do you know about Siegfried Otto Lelin?"

Totally unexpected.

Before the start of the meeting, Roland envisioned various opening remarks, greetings, politeness, weather, situation, allusions...... He never imagined that Ji El would start with the final boss of the enemy.

Surprise is a matter of moments, the calm expression is flawless, symbolically sipping the black tea, Roland replied:

"A mysterious weirdo?"

The tone is a little uncertain, and the answer is a standard model, and the combination of the two is seamless.

When people in the world talk about Li Lin, they will definitely think of his many titles. Rogue tycoons, house demolition maniacs, mysterious tycoons, ambitious conspirators, dead merchants who count money with blood-stained hands...... Wait a minute. There are many reviews, some good and some bad, but one thing is common: "very rich and mysterious eccentric." ”

This is the image deliberately created by Li Lin, and through this disguise, it is easy to carry out intelligence operations on various actions of the consortium, so as to cover up the true intentions. The vague and mysterious image of the "weirdo" is preconceived in people's consciousness, which derives a fixed impression that "it is not strange if it is Li Lin", thus covering up the unnaturalness of various behaviors. If it weren't for the "Night of the Long Knife", no one would have thought that the consortium and the elven camp that had long since faded out of public view were actually two sides of the same coin.

Roland knew this, but at the moment he was attending the meeting as the "Holy Maiden of Orleans", and Jean Dalke, who had never had in-depth contact with the consortium, did not know more about it than ordinary people.

Therefore, the answer can only be an official answer.

"For most people, that's right. ”

Ji El smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"A small number of people know that Li Lin is the head of the elven camp and the destroyer of the world order. But only a few people know that Siegfried Otto Lilin is a new generation of 'Divine Will Agents' after the head of the Golden Hen Knights, Linardo Darke. ”

β€œ......”

The conversation paused for a full five seconds. Ji El observed the girl sitting on her right, and the result was satisfactory to her.

The expression of being shocked and unable to speak after receiving information beyond imagination is genuine, and now is the perfect opportunity to unilaterally instill information and induce thought.

"Unbelievable, huh?"

In the face of a bitter smile, the girl who seemed to have just come back to her senses nodded, and Ji El continued to speak in a sighing tone.

But it is a true fact that the man is acting on behalf of God, and everything he does is the will of the Mother God. ”

"Including this coup?"

"That's right, the tragic incident of the other day was the same. ”

Ji El's tone became sad.

"As far as we know, that is only the prelude, and then there will be more terrible killings, destruction, and death on the earth, and at its worst, human ...... and all living things in the world will become extinct. ”

"It's unbelievable. ”

The girl raised an eyebrow.

"The 'Divine Will Agent' in your mouth does not seem to be a messenger of God, but a demon intent on destroying the world. With all due respect, this is not like a statement that should come from the lips of a clergyman, let alone from someone of your stature. ”

Mu Ran looked at Ji El and the crown prince, who had been staring at him since just now, and Roland sighed in a low voice.

The moment Ji El revealed Li Lin's true identity, he was sure of the Church's true intention to bring about the convergence of the crown prince and Minerva, and the central topic of the meeting.

(It's crazy!!)

Just as he was considering the words and sentences to persuade Gille to give up that crazy thought, he heard the holy woman ask sadly:

"Sister, what do you think of God?"

β€œ......”

"The Mother Goddess is the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Supreme Being, who created the heavens, She set the earth, She created all things in the world, and loves all that She has created, as is the opening of the Holy Scriptures. Maybe that's right, but loving everyone equally is essentially no different from treating everyone coldly. ”

Treat all people equally in life, regardless of whether they are high or low, whether they are old or young, and all of them are regarded as a quantitative unit.

equal respect;

equal renunciation;

Putting the quantification of life on both ends of the scale, weighing the gains and losses, adjusting and eliminating existing problems and objects, and then ensuring that the world "continues to exist in the right way", is the truth of the complete equality of life, and the essence of the Mother Goddess and the agent of the divine will, in a sense, it is no different from a measuring machine. A cold machine doesn't care about the laughter, tears, joy, sorrow, effort, or struggle of the subjectβ€”people's emotions and thoughts have no meaning to the machine.

"As long as the world can survive, it doesn't matter what happens to the creatures that are created. When needed, sacrifice a portion to ensure the survival of the majority of life. In extreme cases, sacrificing the vast majority of lives to ensure the safety of the world, even if it is only a barren dead place - the Mother Goddess and the Substitute follow this mechanism. Humble human beings can only sit on the sidelines, and even if the result is death, we can only accept it. ”

Ji El finished speaking in one breath, and added a sentence slightly tiredly:

"For the gods and their messengers, maintaining our existence is pure work, and there is no room for emotional involvement...... Yes, God doesn't love us. ”

"Should I say that this is at least better than the extinction of all things?"

Louis, who had been silent, interjected in a mocking tone, and Roland couldn't help but be silent.

What would the world be like without the Mother Goddess, the Divine Agent?

Without God's interference, I am afraid that the speed of civilization will increase in one go, and it is not impossible to develop a technological system that surpasses that of Alfheim today. But to the point where a large-scale war breaks out, the danger of the entire world falling into extinction increases.

In this regard, the suppression of the mother goddess and the surrogate on the civilization of the intelligent species is of positive significance.

That being said...... Mother Goddess and Li Lin are not humanitarians, and their moral concepts are even weaker. As long as they are seen as obstacles, they will be ruthlessly removed, and when they deem it necessary, they will launch a world-wide purge.

When asked about the better words of extermination and purge, of course it was the latter - but one could not cheer at such an act.

Roland already knew this, and it was his disgust with the black-and-white dichotomous rules that he finally chose to turn his back on the elven camp. He fully agrees with the gods' brutal and excessive interference in the human world.

However, opposition does not mean the end of the problem, still less does it mean that as long as we oppose it, we can get the ideal future, and that is only the beginning of the escalation and intensification of contradictions.

Li Lin has a mean saying: "The best party in the world is called the opposition party, as long as you want to oppose it, you have as many reasons as you want, or even no reason, you can oppose it purely for the sake of opposition." But there are always few opposition parties that can solve the problem. ”

This is true of mortals, let alone between man and God.

Once the opposition is clearly declared, that is the beginning of a full-scale confrontation between man and God.

It may sound tragic and exciting to the audience. Unfortunately, this time there were no spectators in a safe area, and no one could admire and exclaim while enjoying the magnificent and bloody scenes. An unprecedented catastrophe will befall everyone equally.

This is by no means alarmist. In their eyes, human war is not even a family, at most a few swarms of ants fighting. In front of the mushroom-shaped clouds and cross-shaped pillars of fire made by Li Lin, the strength of the country, the heroic team, the prayers, and the wailing...... All will come to naught in the face of absolute destructive power.

It was precisely because he knew this terrible prospect that Roland made every effort to explore the way to seek the coexistence of the kingdoms and the elves without touching Li Lin's bottom line. This hasn't made a big ugly man yet, and these two are already planning an all-out war with the gods...... For a moment, Roland really wanted to drag these two to a brain doctor to see if they were brain-dead.

"In order to get rid of this irrational system, we should ......"

"Stop. ”

Ji El's slightly trance voice stopped abruptly, her eyes blinked a few times, and she looked at the girl with a serious face in confusion.

"Can't you?"

The saint of the church tilted her head and asked, her innocent and pure voice like a child who begged for a toy and was rejected.

"You guys didn't figure it out. For the gods, keeping the world running for a long time is the ultimate goal, and bringing about the rise of the elven camp is only the meansβ€”the least costly. You want to abolish this tactic, create a fait accompli, and force the Divine Will to recognize the hegemony of the human camp and Charlemagne. But I didn't think about the possibility that the other party didn't bother to compromise with you at all. Such self-righteous behavior will only drag everyone into the abyss of destruction. ”

The tone and attitude were as calm as usual, but with Roland's cultivated temperament, this was already an extremely spicy rebuke. He was not so much angry at the ignorance of the Church and the Crown Prince as he was anxious at the ignorance and stupidity of these great men who could decide the lives and deaths of thousands of people with their words.

-- This is our victory;

-- The history of the future will be dominated by us humans;

- The world will operate under our management;

-- We human beings are the rulers of the world;

-- We will reign at the top of the world;

The roar of the behemoth "Church" echoed in Roland's mind.

(That's what they really think-)

Roland thought with sadness and anxiety.

That's right, whether it's good or bad, human beings are absolutely insatiable creatures, even if they get something, once they get used to what they have, they turn to seek more and better, and human desires have always been a bottomless abyss.

It's the same this time.

After learning of Li Lin's true intentions, the church was afraid of losing power, and at the same time, it was also coveting more power and wealth, and even abandoning the current world system and establishing a system with the church as the core and completely dominating the world.

In this way, the long-standing object of worship becomes the greatest obstacle.

Maybe the church is the last thing you want God to exist......

In the long history, they have only been able to be powerful by virtue of the power bestowed by the mother goddess, and to put it bluntly, they are nothing more than foxes and tigers. Obviously, he is not at the top, but he only gains strength by being in second place, but he unconsciously becomes more and more unbearable with the fact that he is in second place. Taking advantage of this opportunity, all ambition and resentment erupted in one breath.

So there was this crazy tea party-like meeting.

"Give up, you can turn back now. ”

Roland slowed down his tone and tried his best to persuade sincerely:

"No one can negotiate with the storm, no one can bargain with the earthquake and tsunami, you can't control the gods. ”

"Oh-"

Louis deliberately dragged out his voice, and sneered in return:

"Brave as a holy maiden, are you also afraid of the power of the Substitute?"

Roland put on a straight face and said:

"I've made it very clear that you overestimate yourself and at the same time underestimate your opponents. In fact, your imaginary contest cannot be established at all, it is nothing more than self-......"

As he was talking, a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly hit, and then turned into a definite exhaustion, taking away Roland's physical strength little by little.

(That cup of black tea...... οΌ‰

"You ......"

"It's such an unforgiving mouth, it's a pity that it's such a beautiful face. But that's okay, I'll teach you how to talk to your husband...... In bed, of course, starting with how to please a man. ”

Conspiracy.

The moment the word came out, Roland had already built up an operation system to maintain his sanity, and when he was about to start, he suddenly had a spasm all over his body.

It's not a direct impact like a fist, but a more powerful shock that runs through the whole body. The paralyzed brain and body could no longer hold on, and Roland sat down on the ground.

Ji El swung away the arc of electricity wrapped around her fingertips, and the closed wooden door opened, and several men in robes rushed in. Roland was tied behind his back with his outstretched hand, while the other reached out and covered his mouth with a soaked cloth. I am afraid it was an anesthetic similar to ********, and the pungent smell went up from the nasal cavity - dissolving the contours of Roland's consciousness.

(It's over...... Their real purpose...... Next Goal...... Yes, of course...... οΌ‰

Thinking is forcibly truncated and unable to integrate, and consciousness quickly slides into darkness.

As if their bodies were lifted up, their dim and hesitant gaze caught a man and a woman talking, their silhouettes distorting into a strange shadow.

(...... Notification must be ...... They're ......!!)

The strength of the whole body roared, but it could not burst into a realistic sound at all, and Roland's consciousness was completely interrupted. (To be continued.) )
