Silent Crown Chapter 574: The Evil of Human Nature (Part 1)
It was noon when Shi Dong woke up.
Although the sky is still dark.
In this city without light, there seems to be no difference between day and night. Time has frozen here. The city has fallen into an eternal sleep, with only shadows walking through the streets.
Westminster Abbey is also empty.
In the past, there was a crowded place here, with countless horse-drawn carriages and people coming and going.
Now even the sparrow is reluctant to come.
Only the dead leaves fell from the dry branches and sprinkled on the ground without anyone picking up.
"Don't you even have a handyman here?"
"All have been evacuated."
Mephistopheles said: "The Royal Academy, the Royal Academy of Music, AMB Heavy Industries...the reserve personnel in important institutions are all on the list of the first batch of secret evacuations, and they were secretly transferred to Birmingham before the war began. I went.
The young priests who came here were all sent away by me, and only some old men like me remained. "
Speaking of this, he sighed, "There is always someone to stay and bring people who don’t want to go or can’t go for evening prayer, right?
I inherited this church from the ancestors of the bishops and vowed to protect it for my life. Now it seems that I am afraid it will be difficult to fulfill this promise. "
"This is normal."
Stone yawned: "When the opponent is a natural disaster, the war always wins more and loses less. It doesn't matter if the church is destroyed, you can't let the posterity build a new one.
My father is a stonemason. When he was very young, he taught me one thing-the old house is going to collapse, you can't just think about repairing it. "
Mephistopheles was silent for a long time, and said bluntly:
"Your father has a problem with his education."
"Who said no?"
Stone shrugged, shivered, lifted his pants, and looked back at him: "Did you finish peeing?"
"It will take a while."
Mephistopheles said, "Don't look at me, I get nervous easily."
"Aren't you blind? How do you know that I am looking at you?"
"I know someone is watching me, it doesn't matter whether I am blind or not!"
"Like me, it would be nice to have a man-made prostate."
"Aging is also one of the joys of life." Mephistopheles curled his lips: "People like you who like to change parts won't understand."
"...Let's stop here for the old man's silly things."
Stone sighed and leaned against the wall of the toilet: "Don't lean on the old man in front of me, little Mephistopheles, you were the one who took care of the big one."
Mephistopheles scratched his hair. Suddenly there was an air of carelessness in his old-fashioned look, and he took out a pack of cigarettes from the inner pocket of the teaching gown:
"Do you smoke?"
"Dare not, it will damage the artificial lung."
Stone shook his head: "But you actually smoke? This is not like the saint you have been holding."
"Come on, teacher Shi Dong, only those who are dead are saints."
Mephistopheles lit his cigarette, took a deep breath, sighed, relaxed, and squeezed out two more drops: "I am so old, I don't molest a little boy, I don't embezzle public funds, I don't care for my lover, I'm obedient Li, be a virgin for a lifetime...Life is pure and healthy to abnormal. For people like me, if you indulge occasionally, God will forgive you."
"...who did you learn the teaching rules from?"
"Mr. Qatar."
"No wonder." Shi Dong shook his head: "He died the year before."
"It's over a hundred years old, it's normal, how did you die?"
"He was beaten to death by his queen, on the bed."
"..."
"So, don't talk about the doctrine of following a perverted study."
Shi Dong glanced at him, "There are not many common topics between us anymore. Let me tell you something we are all interested in, such as natural disasters, such as war..."
"What do you want to know?"
"Leviathan."
Shi Dong said: "The three seals that were erected at the time have reached the first one?"
Mephistopheles was silent, smoking a cigarette.
In order to seal Leviathan, successive emperors of Anglo had set three seals for its three stages. The breaking of each seal represents Leviathan's stepping into a stronger layer.
Leviathan's consciousness resurrected, which means that the first seal was broken.
Leviathan's body begins to resurrect, which means that the second seal has been opened.
When the third seal is broken, a natural disaster with both body and spirit, Leviathan, one of the "four living creatures", one of the top monsters of the alien species, will come completely.
For a long time, Mephistopheles muttered:
"As far as I know, the second seal has been unlocked."
Shi Dong was silent for a long time, "I thought you were holding back if you didn't speak for a long time, and just wanted to cheer you on."
"Shut up, don't interrupt."
Mephistopheles paused, and his voice became lower: "I'm still brewing, it's coming soon."
"Farewell, I urinate when mentioning natural disasters, what a shame."
"..."
Mephistopheles stopped speaking.
For a long time, the pattering voice sounded for a while, then disappeared.
Mephistopheles breathed a sigh of relief, buckled his belt, and finally got rid of the awkward embarrassment.
Aging is really terrible.
-
In the empty courtyard, two people sat on the benches and exchanged what happened in the past few days.
Stone pondered for a long time, scratching his bald head.
"How long are you going to hide?"
He said: "Always let those people die to understand?"
"It's a shame after all." Mephistopheles also frowned, half-talking, and lowered his voice: "Can you help me see anyone around?"
"No one."
Shi Dong has no expression on his face: "You can smoke without worry."
"Sorry, I finally got rid of this pot before Avalon was destroyed. After leaving office, I felt a little relaxed." Mephistopheles lit another one: "I'm stressed, I'm getting old, my heart I can't stand it, so let's leave it to the young man."
"You gave Westminster to our Grand Judge because of this?"
"Yes, otherwise." Mephistopheles asked, "This is called being ordered in danger, a kind of political wisdom... By the way, where did we talk?"
Shi Dong looked at him and said, "Shame."
"Yes, shame."
Mephistopheles didn't seem to hear that Stone was cursing, and he didn't care about it: "After all, it is the shame of the royal family."
"Angel and Leviathan are rivals, but haven't the royal family explained it? There are so many maritime countries, but why has Leviathan been holding on to Angelo for so many years to do things... "
"Explain? How to explain?"
Mephistopheles: "I can't say that this is the sin of our ancestors? You see, they even made up a fairy in the lake in order to explain how King Arthur was so wise and martial."
"Who's paying attention to this? It's stinking home...Look at the script written by that third-rate writer."
Stone couldn't help but want to spit, "The wise and powerful King Arthur was loved by the fairy in the lake, and the fairy gave him a sword, kisses and blessings, so he became the destined king.
Conquer the Seven Seas, establish the capital of Avalon, and build the heaven on earth, using this as an engagement, marry the fairy in the lake, become her own queen, and let her give birth to her own dragon blood descendant.
God knows how the dragon blood came from. Before Arthur met the fairy in the lake, he was just a fisherman... From the beginning to the end, you all refused to admit that the so-called royal family is the real sinner in the sea.
The so-called fairy in the lake, the so-called queen-is Leviathan who was killed by King Arthur! "
"I can't admit it."
Mephistopheles shook his head: "How is it possible to admit?"
In silence, Shi Dong leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and hummed the hallucinating ballad:
"The king and his accomplices took the queen abducted and imprisoned her in a dream... We have the power, where should we wander? Wow, tens of thousands of hands, raise the sail!
Hey, thief and beggar, we will have eternal life..."
"Stop singing, panic."
Mephistopheles dropped the cigarette on the ground and crushed it out.
"It's ridiculous, Mephistopheles, a natural disaster fell in love with humans."
Shi Dong said flatly: "She loves Arthur so much, loves a human being, she does not hesitate to give him her own power, and she does not hesitate to satisfy any of his wishes... She uses the power of natural disasters to pay for Arthur's ambitions."
Mephistopheles shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, this interest is too high for Arthur's descendants."
"People have to pay their debts after all, Mephistopheles, Angluo should have gone bankrupt long ago."
Stone said coldly, "It's like I said-the old house is going to collapse, and you can't just think about repairing it. I now have a little understanding of why Maxwell's rebellion.
This kind of kingdom was built on the wrong foundation from the very beginning. "
"In fact, he has always been the character who repaired the house."
Mephistopheles smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the debilitating royal family would not be able to survive now, although it still has internal and external troubles."
"I have been thinking, is he the incarnation of an old ghost?"
"It should not be. Why should you hide behind the scenes if you have such an ability? Besides, choosing such a person to be your own **** is not difficult to control, but too dangerous."
"Do you know anything about it?"
"You can almost say, know nothing."
Mephistopheles shrugged, "He is someone who suddenly appeared in this city, without roots, bottoms, fathers and mothers, just like jumping out of a rock split by a sword in a stone.
In the beginning, when he first appeared, he was the personal secretary of the previous emperor. Later, he succeeded the dean of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Then, the power began to expand rapidly, and he was out of control.
In many times ~IndoMTL.com~ his acting style is also unscrupulous, so presumptuous that any emperor will not tolerate it, but he is still deeply trusted, and even appointed him to be in charge of the sword in the stone and hand over many domestic powers. In his hands, he even set up a deformed spy agency like the Fifth Department.
His own ability can only be said to be vast, as long as he knows everything that happens in this city. For decades, the entire Avalon was a toy turning in his hands..."
"Royal blood?" Shi Dong asked.
"Impossible, there is no record, and no one has been able to correspond with him in these years. If he has royal blood, where can someone else do that chair?"
Mephistopheles sighed, "Unfortunately, he is not the emperor."
"Yes."
Shi Dong smiled happily, "Fortunately, he is not the emperor."
Mephistopheles was silent for a long time, and his expression became alert:
"What the **** are you thinking again?" (To be continued.)
