Whether it's the quantity in the front or the verb in the back... if you put it in any other country, it would feel like an earth-shattering event that would make countless people panic. And intuitively speaking, it feels like these two words are completely the same.
They shouldn't be put together.
But only in Iris, it feels so appropriate.
Not only does it not feel out of place, it even sounds a little funny.
"--good.
But in response to Aiwass's words, the old man known as "Bing Xin Gong" just smiled happily and admitted calmly: "You guessed it right, Aiwass."
Not only did Aiwass's guess win his heart...even the phrase "grandfather" sounded so pleasant to his ears. This serious and cold old man, who gave people a sense of inhumane indifference, seemed normal at the moment.
He is a little more kind like an old man.
"Hey, father...?"
Anne on the side opened her eyes in disbelief: "Why... we have to do that, that kind of thing?"
Her emerald pupils are a different color from Aiwass's dark blue pupils.
As the eldest lady who once studied in Avalon, she is obviously different from other Iris people - she does not even dare to speak the word "rebellion". For those Iris people who dare to curse the Parliament on the street
Say, this can even be considered cowardice.
"Today's iris flowers are almost at their limit."
The old man bluntly said: "If this continues, our country will become the laughing stock of the international community. At this point, there are not many effective methods left."
"this……"
Anne and Yassen were immediately speechless.
And Sherlock laughed "ha".
His laughter was very soft and low-pitched, but the room was extremely quiet except for the crackling of the fireplace, so it seemed extremely clear.
The old Duke did not look back at Sherlock, but moved his gaze from Anne to Aiwass, and his tone became calmer: "Besides... there is not much time, right."
"……time?"
Anne murmured and repeated.
"really."
Aiwass nodded slightly: "The troubled times are coming... The Fallen Heavenly Division will not be the last Heavenly Division to come, and the Transcendent Path will not be the only path to be unlocked."
"...how did you know?"
Yassen couldn't help but ask his expensive father-in-law.
"Hmph," the old man just snorted coldly, "Think about it... If only the path of transcendence was allowed to be liberated, Sand Time would have taken action against the transcendants long ago. He would not allow any of the paths to override the
Other paths...this is not in line with the principle of balance.
"But now the angels of Sand Timepiece are silent and don't have any reaction. I know that this will definitely not be the end.
"At least... it has to be that the gods of the nine paths will come once in a row. Let's not say whether the gods of the path of beauty and the path of love will come to the iris and make the iris look like the star antimony before.
The same... Even if they fall aside, the current equilibrium situation between the two parties of Iris will be broken. Wouldn't it also fall into chaos? Remember to use your brain before speaking, Yassen!"
The old Duke scolded his son-in-law Yassen.
Obviously, he didn't expect Anne to make any correct or critical decisions, but he had considerable expectations for Yassen's talent. Because of this, the old man didn't scold Anne at all when she asked the same question.
As long as Yasen raises a question that shouldn't be raised, the old man will immediately attack him.
Aiwass admired it: "I didn't expect you to be able to see this without completely understanding the situation in the dream world..."
"Humph...it's nothing."
The old man closed his eyes slightly: "When you are older, you will know that in the final analysis, things in this world are just matters between people.
"Even those high-altitude, immortal gods are just special 'human beings' in nature... Whether they are Tiansi or Zhushen, they are attracted by the essence of Yuanhe and bound by the principles of the Tao.
It is easier to predict the intentions of these superiors who can determine the direction of history than to predict the emperors in the world... because the former has a clear behavioral logic, and mortals themselves do not know what they want, their brains are always
chaos.
"——What I said is correct, His Majesty the Pope."
"Indeed."
Aiwass crossed his fingers on his knees, crossed his legs and relaxed on the sofa, assuming a rather uninhibited posture.
He did not correct the "former pope"'s question, but directly nodded slightly and said: "Your understanding of the gods is very appropriate. Pillar gods are people with only one kind of nature, while Tiansi has many more.
But they also have demands..."
"Anyone who has an appeal can be exploited."
The old man continued slowly: "Anything that has expectations can be predicted."
"Exactly."
Aiwass nodded: "It is too difficult to predict the future. No matter how good astrologers and prophets are, the future predicted may change. If you believe in that kind of thing too much, you will harm yourself; but
As long as you know the purpose of the Pillar God, you will know the direction of the future."
This is just like the nobles and officials in the world.
Of course they cannot know the future, but they can know the king's personal tendencies and the interest orientation of officials in the court. Knowing the direction of these "powerful people" is equivalent to indirectly knowing the future.
"So... what father is saying is that we need to take away Iris' power?"
Anne frowned slightly, she still couldn't understand what this was for: "Will Iris get better if we come to power?"
"Of course not."
The old man said calmly: "Those problems are there, it will be useless no matter who else comes."
"That……"
"——But we can get rid of the things that cause problems."
The old man's words were cold: "Like the son of the moon."
And Yassen understood something immediately: "I understand, that's why... the family will cooperate with the Hawkeye organization!"
He was once a member of the Hawkeye organization.
According to the Hawkeye organization's principle of "leaving the organization without permission is considered a betrayal", he should have been executed by the "discipline enforcer" in the Hawkeye organization long ago - that was a specialized pursuit, one-on-one,
An assassin with anti-stealth capabilities, an assassin who specializes in executing assassins. Even the fourth level can surpass the level of single-kill targeting of the fifth level. It is also an important component of the cohesion of the Hawkeye organization.
Only when people realize that the "rules" can be ensured to be implemented, will people believe in and abide by the "rules".
It was precisely because of the connections established by the Duke of Vendôme that he could continue to live.
Now, I am afraid that it is precisely because of Duke Vendome's permission... that he can obtain the "Blade of Separation of All Things"!
Thinking of this, Yasen looked at Sherlock who was drinking tea slowly.
He suddenly understood why Sherlock was not afraid anymore.
——As early as when Sherlock's letter was sent, the old Duke already understood everything. The old man's intelligence far exceeded his prediction, so much so that Yassen thought that the old man might not know it before, and he might not understand the code.
It was deciphered before it was sent.
It should be so if you think about it... Even if the Duke of Vendôme himself couldn't understand it, there are other capable people in the Duke's Palace. They can't decipher the secret of the Third Rebellion, but it doesn't mean that they can't understand the code in the letter.
However, because Sherlock saved face for the old man and did not choose to break up and ask for help directly... so the old Duke also chose to give Sherlock face and decided to let him go. So after that, he could get the one he wanted.
The dagger he had held for a long time - it was precisely because the old Duke felt that "the time had come" that he finally gave it to him!
Thinking of this, Yasen's eyes showed a bit of fear.
Only now did he realize why the process of getting the dagger was so smooth, and no one came to chase him even when he was sleeping... It was precisely because of the old Duke's permission.
The old Duke wanted to let Sherlock go, but since Sherlock's letter had already been sent, if he let him go directly, it would be as if he was afraid of Sherlock; he needed a step, so he asked Yassen to go to the dream world to find him.
Sherlock is a perfect fit.
On the other hand, his not stopping Yassen from going deep into the dangerous dream world is also a punishment for him "betraying the family" and "acting at will"!
He tried to release important prisoners held by the family, which was undoubtedly a betrayal of the family; but when he was about to enter the dream world, he did not investigate how to enter the dream world from other people's dreams, nor did he know about the dream world.
specific information, this is arrogance, ignorance and frivolous behavior.
