Overturned Tower

There was only sarcasm in Maltjiu's tone: "So, she had sex with my father by concealing her menstrual period. And she took maternity leave as an excuse by fabricating that she was 'married'. She secretly sent me was born.

"Of course, she's not married. So I can't be her ostensible child... In order not to be found out by the HR department in the company, she gave birth to me in a black hospital in the lower city.

"I didn't report this to that man when I was pregnant because I was worried that he would ask me to kill me; I didn't report this when I was just born because I was worried that he would send me to the church orphanage. Of course, this is not the case. To think for me...but to bind me to her."

"So, she raised me secretly after I was born. When I started to learn to speak and recognize people, she showed me pictures... and told me that the man in the picture was my father.

"...I don't remember much about that time. But the only thing I can remember is her pupils that shone like molten gold, full of urgency and desire.

"That eye is not love, but a kind of urgency."

She shook her head with a sneer, and murmured in a low voice, "What a stupid and greedy woman."

"What happened next?" Russell asked.

"You should also be able to imagine that she failed."

Malt Wine said with a smile: "She never thought that that man was already married. So she became angry from embarrassment and threatened me to raise her status in the company. Otherwise, she would expose this matter." .”

Russell raised his eyebrows: "So she died?"

"To be precise, almost."

Malt Wine mocked: "She got her wish and became an executive of the company, in charge of the personnel department. But in the first week after taking office, she watched the employees she recruited die in front of her eyes - the cause of death was poisoning. Because she Seeing that the other party was a little nervous, he gave up his coffee to the other party.

"And after he finished drinking, he died immediately. She was startled, and then she reacted.

"So she immediately took away all the company's property that she could take away, and went home to roll up all her property—including me of course, hurried to the black market to remove the chip, and fled into the lower city.

"Soon, she was wanted for theft of company property and murder."

Having said that, Malt Wine took a deep breath: "Until seven years ago."

"……Um?"

Hearing this familiar node, Russell was slightly taken aback.

What Malt Wine said next made his eyes widen—

Chapter 34 Fate and Dragons

"She said to me the other day...'Li, Mommy is going to take another gamble. If it works this time, we can turn things around...and if it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose.'

"She said that this time, there were big figures from the Tianen Group to give her a base and provide her with convenience.

"Because Tianen Group wants to obtain a certain technology from a certain person, but he dare not give the company face. So the company has to teach him a lesson...

"She was chosen because the person they're going to deal with... is my father. If things are revealed, it can be blamed on her—because she does have a motive for revenge.

"...Since then, she has never returned."

Malt Wine smiled sarcastically: "And that year, I.

"I am powerless... I have no prosthetic body modification, no combat training, no spiritual awakening, and I don't even have a gun. When she left me alone in the lower city, she didn't consider that I should How to live; she never saw herself as a downtown resident, because she was always looking forward to the day when she would turn around.

"Fortunately, she taught me carefully before, all the knowledge she has mastered, literature, music, dance, body. She taught me how to guess other people's hearts through sight and expression, taught me how to get along with people, how to deal with different fields how to make yourself likable, how to eliminate the hostility of others, how to control others quietly... and how to seduce men and how to identify strong men who can cling to.

"How she lives in downtown, I can only live. But fortunately, even in this line of work, I am more talented than her... I quickly found a good opportunity, poisoned One of my lovers, the leader of a fraud and theft group in the lower city, and realized that he had prepared a complete chain of evidence to plant another unpopular high-level in the organization. Afterwards, I used the name of revenge for the leader Under the banner, a group of people was recruited... This is my original team.

"...Of course, they will be suspicious one day. I can't guarantee that I can pretend like this for the rest of my life.

"So after I settled down, I killed them all one by one."

Malt Wine sneered: "It's the same for men. After shooting all the things, the vigilance and reaction ability will be reduced to the minimum. Just a glass of poisoned wine can send them away.

"But after I killed everyone who remembered that, I felt a great void...

"If you want to stay clean, kind, and righteous, and become a big man on this basis, it is so difficult to keep your conscience... But if you are willing to give up all of this and push everything to destruction...it is so simple.

"Of course I know how difficult it is to survive in the downtown area. If you become a leader in any organization, you must have endured great suffering. Everyone's life is a thick book, a book soaked in tears. wet book.

"But if... to destroy them, it's so easy?

"Since this is the case, how many lives and blood must be shed just to maintain and develop this world?

"But if someone wants to destroy it all, how easy can it be?"

Malt Wine murmured softly: "I was so deep in thought that I fell into a dream world.

"When I woke up again... I found that I was in a desert, and an old man looked at me.

"He said, 'Fate led me here'. He said his code name was 'Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation'. As early as in the 'Earth Age', he was the controller of the Floating Tower, the world's most powerful eight One of the sorcerers. He took me as a student... Said it was his destiny."

When she said this, she looked at Ultramarine beside her.

The mage apprentice of the Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation School said in front of Qun Qing what he had never said in front of the godfather: "Besides that, he has another identity.

"His real name is Baglis (BAGLIS), and he is a director of Sogo Group. He maintains the fate of 'balance'.

"I flattered my mentor's ideas and created the 'Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation' organization on Happy Island...you must know our style of conduct.

"We are adhering to the idea of ​​'accelerating all the slow-moving destruction and ruin, making people completely give up their illusions and risk everything. And this triggers the world's balance mechanism to bring everything out of balance back to balance', and many people...including Many people inside Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation think this is just an excuse to 'let us do evil as we please'."

Malt Wine lowered his head, unable to see his eyes clearly.

She said faintly: "But what if, from the very beginning...all this is true?

"If 'accelerated destruction' is just a method, our ultimate goal is really... for [balance]?"

"...Is that why you will accept the recruitment of the Fuji Society?"

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are not loyal to the godfather, but are you able to better maintain 'balance' under his hands?"

"Exactly. The future I see is related to balance. When the world is about to become unbalanced, the mages of our school can be warned."

Malt Wine said, and took a deep look at Russell: "I don't know what happened when you went to Tongshen Island, but I think... there must be some kind of imbalance and return to balance, right?"

"……Yes."

Russell nodded slowly.

If the malt wine hadn't reminded himself, and he was killed by the monkey-faced eagle in the end...then the balance of this world would really be broken.

...but is even ale actually a pawn of the elves?

"I have a question," Russell asked slowly, "Since your mentor has granted you the power of destiny.

"So, has he ever told you... What exactly is [Fate]? Why can you be warned by Fate?"

"The old man did say so."

Malt Wine nodded, and said without hesitation: "He also said at the time that if someone in the future whom I peeped into the future through 'fate' and saved asks this question, he can tell him without hesitation."

Hearing this, Russell opened his eyes wide, held his breath, and looked deeply at the malt wine.

It dawned on him that although Ale hadn't recognized the Godfather as Ultramarine.

But her mentor recognized him from a farther distance in time and space.

Therefore, he will support the godfather by channeling ale.

…Ale was the first to support him after the Godfather's speech.Even if what Russell was attacking at the time was the perfect ripeness that belonged to malt wine, was completely controlled by her and had been with her for a long time.But when she was making a choice between Quanshu and herself, she chose 'hairdresser' without hesitation.

So she was able to defeat the angels head-on, but did not fight them;

So she was able to easily defeat Ultramarine and the inferior, but chose to escape at that time;

So, as an uncoded person, she dared to appear in front of Qun Qing and save his life;

So when the godfather could not threaten her life at all, she was so loyal to the godfather.

——As early as when Malt Wine hadn't even seen Ultramarine, and didn't know that the godfather was Ultramarine, she had already been manipulated and guided by "fate"!

But at this time, the malt wine gave an answer that Russell did not expect at all:

"[Fate] is a notch, a key, and a pointer."

"……what is that?"

"It is the 84 kinds of notches that are condensed in the depths of all human beings."

The malt wine said solemnly: "If you take it apart, it can be divided into seven days and twelve hours a day. These twelve hours are the twelve hours contained in the night; and these seven days... It is said that it symbolizes 'Seven days in which God created the world'."

"...Then why is it missing half?"

Russell was keenly aware of the problem: "What about the remaining 84 hours?"

Malt Wine shook his head, and said a more precise secret: "To be more specific...

"'Fate' is the half of the god worshiped by the 'Cyber ​​Church'.

"Split it into 84 parts—that is fate. And if the remaining part is also divided into seven parts...

"—that's 'Dragon'."

Chapter 35 God Is Dead

God, wreckage—

Russell's eyes widened suddenly, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly realized.

No wonder……

The various behaviors of the Cyber ​​Church cannot be called "righteous people" in any case.But they were able to grasp the power of the Holy Order instead...

The purest man-made angels will even cause the power of the Holy Order to decline because of being outdated... But they are not as holy and righteous as their elf directors, but they can master the stronger power of the Holy Order.

I'm afraid that even the most devout Cyber ​​Church believers would never have thought that the "god" they worshiped really existed.

——Not only does it exist, it has even been artificially divided into more than 90 parts.

"The dragon symbolizes the day, and the name-striking elves represent the night..."

Russell murmured: "There are seven empty islands... that is to say, each empty island symbolizes the 'day of creation'. Under the dragon that symbolizes the day, the commander of the dragon that symbolizes the twelve moments Twelve elf directors. Then it is understandable that elves have a lower personality than dragons..."

Dragons are not completely superior to elves.

Rather, they are equal—it's just that the status of each giant dragon is equal to the sum of the twelve elf directors.

The malt wine on the side was even a little surprised to see that Qunqing accepted this fact so easily.

"You...do you believe my words so easily?"

"Because I can see that you didn't lie to me."

Qun Qing looked back at her, thought for a while and added: "And, this is indeed very reasonable. But, what is the 'key' you are talking about?"

Malt Wine pursed his lips, and asked back, "Why do you think the dragon and the elves divide their authority like this?"

Russell thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

He already had an answer in his mind, but to prevent preconceived ideas, it's better not to say it.

If nothing else happens...

It should be to prevent re-aggregation.

Among the elf directors of each sky island, only six are from the mainland, and the other six are from other sky islands.Before, Russell simply thought that these directors were just "local leaders" and played the role of a foreign ministry.

But now that I think about it... it seems that something is really wrong.

The top person in charge of other sky islands, even if directors are needed to be in charge and command, there is no need to be elf directors with a higher status.Not to mention, they almost never leave the empty island where they are, and if they leave for something, they will go back immediately... Compared to being sent abroad, this is more like exile.

But what if this is exile?

The purpose is to make it impossible for every sky island to gather the "twelve hours that belong to this day"!

And the answer given by Malt Wine was indeed as Russell expected: "Because there are two kinds of keys.

"One of them needs to collect the authority of 'whole day'...that is, including a giant dragon, plus the approval of all the elf directors of the giant company to which the dragon belongs; the other one needs Gather the authority of 'the same hour within seven days'. In other words, it requires the simultaneous approval of all the elf directors or seven-headed dragons who govern a certain moment in seven different sky islands. In this way You can temporarily regroup the gods of 'one day' or 'one moment'."

"What is this key used to open? What are these two keys used for?"

"I don't know. I don't even know if I need just one key or both."

Malt Wine shook his head helplessly: "You can't think that I know everything. I can only know what the teacher told me.

"But I think...if it's not something like 'the power of the gods', it should be something that is extremely dangerous and has huge benefits. Otherwise, it will not divide power in this way to ensure that no one or any organization can piece together a complete key without being discovered by other authorized persons.

"It's like... when a group of people went out to sea, they discovered a gold mine at the same time. Everyone didn't have the ability to swallow it alone, but everyone was also afraid that others would kill themselves and swallow it up. So this group of people got together , and partnered to create a security system that stores its real location. It requires everyone to be present to open it... The feeling they give me is this kind of jealous and greedy feeling."

The corners of Malt Wine's mouth raised slightly, revealing a silent sneer.
