Chapter 1277 Pythia Prophecy (Part [-])
"Prophecy is just a reference and possibility. It is our duty to explore the possibility and find the right path." The emperor still flipped through the scrolls and books leisurely. There was a fine grinding sound. "I've spent too much time on this work. I've heard too many stories to be foolish enough to follow the path of prophesied tragedy, and we still have a choice."

"I believe you, but I don't know whose fate you know, so you stay in the library regardless." Victor von Doom turned his head and looked around.It is very quiet here, the bustling discussions in the front hall of the library are cut off by the heavy metal gate, the sunlight outside the window is also blocked by the black fabric, and the candle becomes the only light source for the emperor to read the text.Maybe there is also the dim light of the indicator light emitted by the fortress-type automatic battle robot when it is in standby, but the dim light like a firefly is too weak. "You have also approved all the official documents." The regent looked at the scrolls and books piled up beside the emperor, and sighed deeply, "How long have you not slept? How long have you not returned to the Oxfordshire manor?" ?”

"Since I came to Karma Taj. I have greeted the witches, and they allowed me to leave temporarily." The emperor said calmly, "You have the authority to approve official documents, Victor, you own me in Latvinia and All the power of the Immortal City."

"That's almost three days." The regent pretended not to hear the emperor's reminder. Hammurabi moved a chair for him, and then unceremoniously took out the wine that should have been lying in the emperor's wine cabinet from under the cloak. wine.He waved the opened curtains and looked carefully at the emperor's face.The long hours of sleepless nights did not weaken the emperor who studied the prophecy in a penance way. This guy was still in good spirits, without any signs of fatigue, and even his lips were still moist.The emperor didn't wear power armor, and his body wasn't connected to the intravenous fluid irrigation that combined the functions of dialysis and nutrient supplementation in the life support system. "Are you looking at the prophecy of the Pythian priestess of Apollo that led to the tragedy of Orpheus? Why don't you read Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy"?"

Although Victor von Doom's metaphor is very complicated, the emperor still understood the Regent's reminder of the "dionysian spirit", otherwise he would not have described the ancient Egyptian papyrus in his hand as the ancient Greek Apollo. The priestess prophesied.As Nietzsche described in "The Birth of Tragedy", the tragedy in Greek mythology comes from the individual's sense of powerlessness in being constantly fiddled with in the torrent of primitive life will and unable to fight against fate.The Dionysian spirit is to practice the cruel fate without hesitation and to pursue the tragic beauty of life when knowing the inevitable tragedy of existence.

This runs counter to the emperor's own thinking. The emperor's "Apollinian spirit" challenges the impossible with humble and fragile reason and order, and almost cold-blooded means.He is not unaware of what he is doing. The emperor's rational animal nature is compared with the emotional humanity of today's human society. It is a tragedy in itself to deviate from the simple emotion.However, the emperor also knew that this was the only way for the human race to get out of the abyss of tragedy. Human beings are surprisingly incapable of learning the lessons of history. Emotions can be restored, memories can be forgotten, and history can be revised, but objective facts will not change.

Victor von Doom is also aware of the price to be paid, but they still jump in without looking back, finding a way to the perfect ending from the endless possibilities.At the same time, Victor von Doom also made a small joke, taking the emperor's active reading of the prophecy as an Oedipus complex. "We are all fools, so for our stupidity, I don't mind having a glass." The emperor took the glass of wine poured by the regent, and this was the first time he drank water in three days and two nights.His period of time was not fruitless. From the ancient historical records, he found some behaviors that were very inconsistent with the thinking of human beings at that time. Needless to say, this must be a stupid thing done by time travelers.

To be more precise, it would be the Emperor himself, after all not everyone has the means to break into the temple of Apollo and take the priestess Pythia away and then do nothing but ask those beautiful young virgins to be washed for themselves.The emperor had foreseen the scene of his conflict with the Olympian pantheon, because such a thing would be a humiliation to Apollo, but he did not know whether he acted before or after the conflict .He is quite self-aware, and this kind of absurd thing is like what he can do after letting himself go. From the records written by the priestess, her attitude towards the intruder is not that bad, and she even writes It is called the Immortal, and several false deaths of this person are prophesied.

Like choking on a nosebleed while sleeping at night.

"Also, fuck Floyd."

"Go take a bath, it's not that you can't take a bath after penance." Victor von Doom said with a smile, "Hurry up, we still have a lot to discuss!"

There is no separate bathroom in the Karma Taj apprenticeship area, and it is common for apprentices, regardless of gender, to walk through the training ground from the bathhouse to the dormitory area with their dripping hair wet.Even now, the emperor's room is still arranged in the apprentice dormitory area, because he was living in the witch's apartment when he became a deacon, and there is no need to change his residence at all.Now Modu has re-arranged a room for the emperor. When Salomon left the bathroom shaking his wet head and was blowing air on the marble steps of the new room, the imperial guards Hammurabi and Amon were still coming from the old room. including his small fridge for snacks and some early gizmos.

"Aren't you waiting for me in the library?"

"Mordo is looking for trouble again." Victor von Doom sat next to the emperor. "He looks like he wants to fight me."

"I heard that you had a good relationship with him in the past." Salomon flipped his hair back. "Then you left Karma Taj without saying a word, which is like a defection."

"That's why I won't trouble Modu. At that time, I believed that Kama Taj could not change the status quo in Latvinia, so I left here to form a guerrilla." Victor von Doom shrugged.He felt that the emperor who was shaking his head was throwing drops of water onto his cloak, but he was not angry because he knew that the solemn and solemn appearance was disguised by Salomon, "My power armor neural link design draft It is also the knowledge I learned in Karma Taj, and I will not do it to the apprentices taught by Karma Taj's mystics and Supreme Masters."

"I suggest you fight with Modu, at least the spells used by both sides here are limited." The emperor said, "If you don't do it for a long time, Modu will think more and more, from anger to resentment. This It’s his character, it’s very easy to go to a dead end, the venerable has reminded me more than once to pay attention to Mordu’s mental state. Remember, it’s best not to use non-lethal spells, such as Hell Flame Ray, which can burn people. Use it, the spell in your and my hands is similar to a melta gun."

This proposal was quickly accepted, and Modu ran over excitedly, expressing that he wanted to let the traitor, Victor von Doom, know the consequences of betraying Kama Taj.At this time, the emperor had already returned to his room and began to look for something to eat. He didn't care about how Victor planned to deal with the relationship with Modu. He knew that his regent, as a seasoned politician, could handle the scale just right. Instead of being as excited as Modu, who is always enthusiastic.

Until there was a gunshot outside the window, the emperor was still chewing the snacks put in the refrigerator by the supreme mage without changing his expression. "Have some Johnnie Walker?" he said to a nervous Hammurabi. "Don't worry, Victor assures me that no one will die today."
