What did you do with the dice?

Before Rusalka could speak, Hydra pointed a finger at his lips and said, "Lord Pearl Tear, you know, throughout history, there have always been countless things that have made the world a better place. There has always been someone who was the first to do it. Why can't it be me?"
Sanita: (Look at the Paladin's awareness.)
Rusalka: (I sacrificed myself to feed Phoenix, which gave her the ability to care about the world. How can that not be enlightenment?)
As they were talking, the rain stopped.
The ceremony had already been broken, and it was clear that Mo Wujue, the host, had been lost. The parliament had long since fallen apart, and the nodes on the second and third floors of the twin towers, which served as the core, were almost all destroyed. Even when Ba Su was there, he was unable to borrow most of his power.
But at this moment, it started to operate on its own again, and the damaged nodes were not repaired. To Sani Iron Tower, this was completely inconsistent with the basic rules of the ritual. It was as strange as seeing a head that had been separated from the body but could still move on its own.
Sanitieta murmured, "Sure enough, how could Mo Wujue control this spatial ritual by himself? And the reincarnation technique couldn't have been completed by him alone. I was wondering before who was cooperating with him to ensure the reincarnation was correct. Now I understand completely."
"It seems that Basu's decision to entrust himself to him was not a sudden decision. I'm afraid that from the very beginning, perhaps even before the construction of the Twin Towers, there has been some kind of contractual relationship between Mo Wujue and Basu. This ceremony was actually controlled by "Him" in cooperation with Mo Wujue."
"Furthermore, gods don't 'die'; they simply return to their original place and continue to cast their gaze upon the world, and can even personally interfere with its operation."
"That place is the true 'Kingdom of God,' and it's the place Teresa is willing to give up everything and devote her entire life to pursuing."
After the heavy rain, everything was over.
The sky cleared up again.
Chapter 387 Welcoming the Sunrise of a New Day
"The Twin Towers were nearly destroyed, and the parliament is now on the verge of dissolution due to the loss of nearly half its members." These two things quickly spread throughout Estron through the radio station.
However, almost all versions are different.
The most magical thing about this incident is that in Esterlon, where the centralized system has reached its peak, radio reporters representing commercialization naturally have no reason and no qualifications to enter the Twin Towers.
Most people are jealous, and it is obvious that before Rusalka came, life in the Twin Towers was much better than that in the outside world, otherwise there would not be so many people who would try their best to get in and never want to get out.
Then what were these reporters, who wrote in a Spring and Autumn style, doing here? Exaggerating everything that happened inside and widening the conflict between ordinary residents and the Twin Towers in order to attract buyers?
The boomerang was finally brought by Rusalka. Now everyone knew that a very serious accident must have occurred in the Twin Towers, and it was even said that there was a fierce battle, but the outside world was unable to get even a glimpse through the walls of the building without doors and windows.
What happened in Yumobang? No one knows.
But the reason why the news was released smoothly was that one of the members of the parliament, "Hemorosi Sanshui Xinyu", took the initiative to appear in the outside world and held an emergency "press conference".
She only told the reporters a few absolutely objective facts in just five minutes, such as the fact that the Pearl Tear Army almost destroyed the entire second and third floors, burned all the land along the way, killed several members of parliament, and suffered heavy losses in the elite army.
Finally, the Grand Duke of Pearl Tears also withdrew his troops, and took the opportunity to lead the remaining residents to spontaneously organize and put out the fire. They achieved their goal, avenged the nun and the mermaid, and basically destroyed the parliament of Esterlun.
And then, it was all over.
She only said these few words, and after only two or three hours, at least a dozen versions of the story were quickly produced, enough to last for days and nights.
As for whether it was true or false, Sanshui Xinyu, who had returned to the Twin Towers, was no longer able to distinguish or clarify it, or perhaps she had never intended to "release the truth" from the beginning.
She has always wanted to muddy the waters and has been doing so all the time. As for what her purpose is, even Sanita cannot guess.
After all, if she really wanted to become the next ruler of Esterlun and hold power tightly in her hands, she should not allow all the bad news in the Twin Towers to spread, nor should she spread the information that "the parliament may be dissolved" to ordinary residents. Instead, she should strengthen the authority of the parliament and further centralize power.
At this moment, Sani Tower, who was sitting on the guided bomber parked on the third floor of the Twin Towers, had completed maintenance and was preparing to take off. He was taking advantage of the fact that he was still in Estron to listen to the broadcast from the last piece of stone in his hand.
This stone was a friendly gift from Doug Chamber of Commerce, and the corresponding radio station was of course also under their name. As the saying goes, people are in different positions and have different standpoints. He would like to hear how Doug Chamber of Commerce plans to publicize this matter at its headquarters in Estron.
After all, this matter certainly cannot be made small, and the Doug Chamber of Commerce cannot just do one business. The direction of the wind on Esterlen's side is very obvious, but whether it will incite the public's hatred towards Sinidi and even the Zhulei family is still necessary to hear.
After all, in the future, Sanita still hopes that Esterlund can hold the line for them during the final invasion.
Although I have robbed your gods of their power of faith and even built the Twin Towers in your capital with a plane, we are one family, all human beings. We are a community with a shared future for mankind. When it comes time to fight the demons, won't the -1000 relationship turn into friendly in seconds?
Rusalka: (You're really treating Estrom like an AI, aren't you?)
Sani Tieta: (This isn't just a dream. We'll have to see what these businessmen think. After all, this is the downside of the commercialization of broadcasting. Letting these profit-seeking businessmen have the loudest voice will surely make it difficult to control the public opinion in this country.)
If the devil spreads all over the world, in order to protect ourselves, the propaganda will definitely be about the attitude that the world is one family.
Rusalka said to Phoenix beside her, "Cat, luckily your ears are higher than your head, so it's hard for you to be bewitched."
Phoenix thought for a moment and slapped him on the tail.
Rusalka felt very aggrieved. Why is the cat so mean? I just told a joke and I got beaten?
Sanita: "It's your fault for always saying bad things to provoke Phoenix, causing her to lose trust in you. Now you deserve it."
Rusalka suddenly laughed out loud: "Pavlov's dog, Rusalka's cat, come here, Phoenix, suck, suck."
He got his wish and was hit on the tail again.
When Phoenix saw that he was beaten, he laughed even more happily, so he hung him up and beat him with the power of shadow.
This time, Sanita supports Justice Phoenix.
The mages on the bridge were stunned and began to whisper to each other:
"Is Lady Phoenix planning to murder the Grand Duke and rebel?"
"Please be understanding. This is the downside of marrying an orc. There's always a bit of violent tendencies in their bones. It's called 'beastiality'."
"How is that possible? She hit me with her tail, just for fun."
"Don't ask. If you ask, it's just about His Majesty the Grand Duke's hobbies. You know, the more powerful a person is, the more likely they are to have some strange hobbies."
As a result, Weishas saw it and ran over and said to Phoenix, "Cat, I want to play too!"
Phoenix was stunned for a moment, stared at Vishas for a while, and then hid in the shadow plane.
Weishas felt aggrieved. Why didn't the cat play with her?
"Well done, Yuyu! You drove away the evil demon king Phoenix. You deserve a reward for saving the emperor! What reward do you want?"
"I also want to be hung up and have the cat push me on the swing with its tail."
"Yuyu, good kids can't play this. Your idea is a bit too perverted."
Sani Tower:?

Just as they were talking, they heard the stone on the table vibrate with a buzzing sound. Sani Tieta injected magic power into it, and soon they heard the announcer's voice coming from it.
"Radio Aijiwang, bringing you the latest major reports on the war in the capital, Liberty City!"
"Just the day before yesterday, Council Speaker Mo Wujue declared a counterattack against the Sinidi invasion. Then, Sinidi's Grand Duke Pearl Tear crashed his airship into the Twin Towers. According to the latest intelligence brought back by frontline war correspondents at the risk of their lives, this vicious gang, after entering the Twin Towers, threatened to completely destroy the spiritual pillar of Esterlun."
"However, thanks to the selfless resistance of the numerous soldiers within the tower and the selfless frontline command of several council members, the enemy group that attempted to destroy the Esterlun Pillar was ultimately completely defeated."
"We have defended this symbol that has stood for a thousand years in Esterlen! The gods are on our side. From now on, the Twin Towers will continue to prosper!"
"For more details about the battle, please continue to follow and subscribe to our newsletter. We will compile and summarize the intelligence our correspondents have brought back, and in a few days we will publish a new, updated story that will immerse you in the defense of the Twin Towers."
"Stay tuned."
Wow, there’s even a preview of the serialization. As for how it will be written later, I guess there will be even more diverse versions. This will really become a serialized novel.
Rusalka was not only impressed by the nature of the Doug Chamber of Commerce, but also by the businessmen she knew. It was common for them to make money by taking advantage of national disasters. When the Sani Tower gave them enough benefits, they even dared to buy bonds issued by the Pearl Tear Territory, which was in disguise providing services to the enemy country, Sinidi.
However, considering that the Doug Chamber of Commerce is a global chain business group, but its headquarters is in Estron, it is difficult to define whether this is treason.
"What will be played next is an obituary. We mourn the loss of those who heroically died in this defense, as well as Council Speaker Mo Wujue, Council Member Qi Weiya, and Council Member Heng Zhi."
"Although Qi Weiya had her share of troubles in her life, she still chose to sacrifice her life for her country at the last moment. We should pay tribute to her."
Rusalka couldn't help but complain. Even the time and place of her death were completely different. How could she be whitewashed by public opinion? She even put it into a montage of history books, right? No, brother, go and revive her and explain everything clearly, then I will kill her again.
【Warning, your thoughts are at risk of breaking your oath.】
Your system has been quite quiet recently. I thought your threshold had become higher. How come it was fine when I was dominating in the Twin Towers, but not now?
Sanita: "Forget it, forget it. The dead are the greatest."
And the body is gone, where can we bring her back to life?
Rusalka: "Then am I the best paladin in the world? The false Lawful Good Paladin: protecting the weak and putting all people first. The true Lawful Good Paladin: turning everyone into the dead, so that they are all greater than a living person like me."
[Warning, your thoughts are at risk of breaking your oath]
You are not allowed to use memes after you win the war, right? What is the post-war self-discipline system?
The radio continued to broadcast:
"Hengzhi led his troops in a desperate fight against the enemy within the Twin Towers, even personally fighting on the front lines. However, he was ultimately outnumbered and ultimately detonated the holy light within him, perishing alongside the enemy."
Rusalka looked at Phoenix, who ran out from the shadow plane and also wanted to hear the news. Oh my god, she was "destroyed together with him".
Pat on the head.
Or, the person who died together in the news actually refers to Vishas. That is very reasonable. Vishas did die many times, but she just didn't die.
"When the enemy relentlessly pursued him and attempted to ram the city with an airship, Chief Mo Wu used his own strength to protect the entire Free City, but he himself died heroically due to an overdraft of magic power."
This is pure bragging. Gemini Tarushaka admitted that he was the one who crashed into Liberty City, but it was obviously Mo Wujue himself who caused the most damage to Liberty City.
"But this happened suddenly. The current Council President, Mo Wujue, hasn't nominated the next Council President. The Chief Judge is no longer a designated position. Does this also mean an unprecedented major change for Esterlun?"
"This station will continue to report and track for you."
Amid the lights of thousands of homes in Esterlen, countless residents were nervously listening to various versions of the news. Some sighed, some were anxious, and some thought this might be a good thing.
“If the parliamentary system is gone, will there be new bills in the future?”
"I guess there will be more. Isn't the law issued by God?"
"I don't know. If you ask me, Parliament is almost gone, and there's no one left to spend money, can't the gentlemen in the Twin Towers just repeal the tax law?"
"Stupid! The taxes collected aren't for the parliament, they're for the people in the Twin Towers. And I suspect we'll have to collect even more this time. Don't we have to pay for the soldiers' pensions and post-war reconstruction? Now that the capital has been hammered, won't the reconstruction costs be shared by the entire Esterlon?"
"Oh, why didn't Sneady just tear down the towers? We'll never be able to go to the Twin Towers, but we'll still spend every penny."
"That's not true. Although the Twin Towers are indeed unfair right now, they are at least better than the El Empire next door."
"Since you're competing with the El Empire, I have no choice but to obey you. Why don't you compete with the Sea Clan?"
The radio station was buzzing, and the announcer dutifully followed the script, informing the listeners of the subsequent national mourning arrangements and the station's temporarily changed program schedule.
In a place without the "Internet", news is discovered entirely by word of mouth, and most of the news is difficult to verify. Fortunately, Estren's radio station does not need to distinguish the truth from the false.
However, compiling interesting news and stories that can attract listeners every day is a very technically demanding job. It is rare that such a big event happened in the Liberty City, so it must be recorded in the canon. Of course, I have to make good use of the hype and wish I could finish a year's worth of manuscripts.
However, most people's attitude towards the Twin Towers incident was not as radical and indignant as imagined. Basically, most people just treated it as a story and were more concerned about the details of the Youmobang War.
As for the cause, process and result, just have a casual understanding of it.
The Grand Duke of Sinidi next door, who is roughly equivalent to the parliamentarian of Sinidi, had a fight with his own parliamentarian in the Tower of the Supreme Being in the capital. It is said that they were fighting for their respective truths.
But what does this have to do with those who earn 3000 yuan a month? For them, the most important truth is to increase their salary or directly give them money.
After all, Youmobang is almost completely isolated from the outside world. The Twin Towers are too isolated from the masses, and people can only have imaginary attitudes towards life there. It is difficult to empathize with the war happening there. At most, they can only be a part of Esterlen, condemn these thugs from Sinidi for being lawless, and then cover themselves with a quilt and go to sleep.
After all, even if the Twin Towers exploded, they still didn't have a day off tomorrow, and everyone had their own things to do.
Even after leaving the Twin Towers and Parliament, the sun in the sky will still set and rise as usual, and people will always usher in a new day.
Chapter 388 Before Returning
When the Guided Explosives stayed on the third floor of the Twin Towers for a few days before leaving to troubleshoot and recharge its magic power, the first person to find Rusalka and Sanita was actually [Libra] Hemorosi Sanshui Xinyu.
The other parliamentarians didn't seem to want to communicate with them, or they were afraid of being killed by Rusalka and following in the footsteps of Hengzhi and Qi Weiya, so it was better not to meet them.
They have all sat in this position. Except for Mo Wujue, who is truly absolutely neutral, and Sanshui Xinyu, who seems to have a tendency towards chaos and evil, everyone else is more or less very satisfied with the status quo and wants to continue living like this. They are afraid of death.
According to the theory of concession of the happy, Rusalka, the reckless guy who dared to drive a spaceship to create a tower, spoke the most arrogantly in the audience. They accepted the loss and wished they would never see him again.
It was nice to have some free time since no one came looking for me. There were still many places to store valuable things on the third floor of the Twin Towers. I could only say that they had done a very good job of protecting the research materials. Each room was isolated and protected by space spells, but the magic that could break all locks, [Knocking Spell], didn't work. The Iron Tower of Sani had to use [Dissociation Spell] on each door one by one before he was able to open both the barrier and the door.
The old wizard fled in a hurry, and Vishas put out the fire in time, so a large amount of precious research data fell into the hands of Sanita, who never missed anything he passed by. He waved his hand and ordered the troops in the Pearl Tears Territory who were playing cards in the Guided Explosion sub-plane to come out and help. They moved all the cabinets, tables and chairs, and anything that could be carried back into the spaceship.
Rusalka looked at the Sani Towers, which had been destroyed like a swarm of locusts, and couldn't help but complain, "Brother, moving this way will damage my karma. Then, when people open history books, they'll probably ask, 'Teacher, why is the Esteren Museum in Sneidi instead of Esteren?' The teacher will say, 'Back then, the Sneidi army invaded the Twin Towers, led by the evil Grand Duke Pearl Tear, and took everything. What they couldn't take was burned.' Then, if my black-and-white photo is hung in the book, people will spit on it."
"I can't use photos to explain to them that I didn't do that. I just wanted to knock down the Twin Towers. As for the burning, killing and looting afterwards, it was all done by my staff, Sunny Iron Tower."
Sanitieta disagreed. "Then why don't you just let the historian write my name? Besides, Your Honor, I need to clarify one fact. From an objective perspective, my client set the fire first and then stole the materials. In fact, under the circumstances at the time, he suddenly had a change of heart and risked his life to retrieve Esterlun's precious research materials and material assets from the fire. From a subjective perspective, this behavior is not robbery, but disaster relief. In terms of the results, he did protect a large number of Esterlun's research results and material assets from being burned. Therefore, it was a benign and legal act, not a malicious and illegal one. I recommend a commutation of his sentence."
Rusalka was stunned: "You can even defend this?"
"Why not? What's the problem? The evidence is overwhelming, the death row inmate is irrefutable. He paid us lawyers to defend him. Is it so we can just say 'I don't have any objections' in court? We should respect professional ethics. A good lawyer is one who can turn black into white. As for the judge's decision, that's the judge's business. I'm only responsible for defending him and collecting his appearance fee."
Rusalka gave him an upside-down thumbs-up and said, "Lawyers really deserve to be shot in a row."
