Chapter 562 The Bell Tower Dialogue
The lady of the Jeff family, An Jieer, was rescued by His Majesty Platinum, and the blasphemer who held him hostage was chopped into ashes by His Majesty Platinum's sword.

Although the martial law in Linjing City has not yet ended, and the army is still dragging the net to search for the remnants of the Redemption Society, this message has quietly spread among the upper class.

Among them, the topic of how An Jieer of the Jeff family would like to thank His Majesty Platinum for saving his life suddenly became hot.

The viscountess who wanted to marry An Jie'er into her family also silently forgot about this plan.

Everyone knows His Majesty Sardwin's hobbies, and everyone knows how An Jieer is a woman who can make men never forget.

If such a woman came into His Majesty Sardwin's eyes, it was already clear what would happen.

However, Zhou Mo did not live in Jeff's family mansion as everyone had guessed, and incidentally had a little incident with the beautiful An Jieer. Blade's search work.

When the news came out, in an instant, the work efficiency of the soldiers in the entire Linjing City increased several times.

The degree of cooperation between nobles and big businessmen has also doubled.

"Your Majesty, it has been done according to your request!" Soraya hurried back from the outside, and saw Zhou Mo standing alone in the yard, silently looking at the distant sky.After reporting in a low voice, Mrs. Soraya looked at the ruler of the Platinum Principality strangely.

"Well, as long as it's done!" Zhou Mo's voice was low, with a very strange emotion.

Soraya savored the moment with lowered eyes, and knew what kind of emotion it was, bleakness, a kind of bleakness after the prosperity has come to an end.

"Your Majesty, you?" Soraya asked tentatively.

Zhou Mo showed an unclear smile and said:
"The war ten years ago reduced the population of the entire world by a fraction."

"At that time, everyone was very unfamiliar with war. They had never even seen an established army, yet so many people still died!"

"What if there is another war? How many people will die in an organized, premeditated, and institutionalized large-scale war?"

"I'm thinking about it."

With Zhou Mo's current status, a twitch of the corner of his eye would make people around him jump in fear, and once he opened his mouth, he would involuntarily bring people into the scene of his words.

This is the charm of power, this is the halo of status.

Soraya was brought into the scene described by Zhou Mo's words.

Trembling fiercely, Soraya could imagine that the troops who were searching for the Godslayer in the city now suddenly received an order to massacre the entire city.

Then the entire Linjing City, within a day and night, would turn into a dead zone.

If the Seven Great Empires start war again, the dead will be counted in tens of millions, the bones will be piled up in every fortress, and the blood will turn every waterway hub into bright red.

Crows will crow indiscriminately, and the whole world will become a paradise for scavengers.

"Your Majesty, do you judge that there will be war among the Seven Great Empires?"

These words surprised Zhou Mo for a moment, and he realized that Soraya had misunderstood him. Looking at Soraya who was trembling from the fright of his words, Zhou Mo shook his head and laughed.

"How can there be wars between the seven empires? There are conflicts. The seven gods can exchange ideas and learn from each other, and they can be resolved."

Soraya was puzzled, and frowned, thinking hard. She didn't want to see the war happen, not only because she didn't want to turn this prosperous world into a ghost, but also didn't want to see the power and status she had just gained turned into water.

Along with the war, it is impossible for Soraya, as a woman, to continue to be in the high position of the lord of a city.

Men are the masters of war!
"Don't worry about it, these are not questions you should think about, and I just said it casually!" Zhou Mo comforted the woman.

Madam Soraya nodded, although she didn't mention it anymore, she kept the matter in her heart.

"The soldiers have already begun to announce the death of the Godslayer's two companions. From Anjie'er, see if you can let her come to see her. After all, you saved her."

The hint in Mrs. Soraya's words made Zhou Mo look at her dumbfounded, and thought to himself, it seems that Sardwin's trumpet is completely dirty.

"No need, just let her complete the task well, and send someone to watch secretly, this girl's temperament is uncertain, maybe when, because of something, something bad will happen!"

Soraya thought about Angel's character and age, nodded in agreement, and said:

"Girls at this age are the weirdest. If An Jie'er wants to sabotage the plan, what shall we do?"

"It's impossible for the monitoring person to be too close. If there is an emergency, I'm afraid it will be too late to deal with it."

Zhou Mo frowned, and said:

"Then we have to let Sous come out of Jeff's mansion as soon as possible. Let Sous stay with this girl, it's too dangerous!"

At this time, in Jeff's mansion, in the clock tower.

Sous' figure was hidden behind the copper clock dial, observing the situation of the entire Jeff mansion through the hollow hour on the clock dial.

A whole day had passed since he entered here, and it was already dark, but there was no news from An Jie'er.

"Young man." An old voice sounded from behind Soth.

Sous dodged and grabbed the neck of the bell ringer who was in charge of the bell tower with one hand. This elderly bell ringer shouldn't wake up at this time.

Sous was confident in his strength control, the bell ringer should be able to coma for a whole day and night, and wake up in the early morning of tomorrow.

However, just after nightfall, the bell ringer woke up, which made Sous vigilant.

"Give me a reason not to kill you!" Sous's voice was full of murderous intent.

The face of the aged man on the bridge was covered with wrinkles, and a pair of old eyes looked at Sous. Sous didn't like the expression in it. The bell ringer, whose life was in his hands, was pitying him.

"It seems that you are looking for death!" Sous grabbed the bell ringer's hand and began to exert force.

"No, young man, I haven't lived enough. Although life is monotonous and tasteless, I still enjoy being able to live quietly under the sun!"

There was inexplicable irony in the words of the bell ringer.

"What do you want to express? At the last moment of your life, just say it clearly, I will not vent my anger on a dead person!"

South's voice became indifferent. The lives and deaths of his two teammates were uncertain, and An Jieer, who he cared most about, had no news. At this time, he was anxious and irritable.

"Young man, I know who you are and why you are here, and I also know that for you who walk in the dark, taking my old life is the same as crushing an ant It makes no difference."

"But, you can't kill me!" The bell ringer saw South's state of mind at this time, but he still sarcastically said a word before explaining his reasons.

"You can only hide in this clock tower now. You have made a fuss about the Jeff family. Now Viscount Jeff wants to send all his forces here to protect the safety of him and his family. According to the emergency plan of the Jeff family, this time At that time, all the important people gathered together, guarded by Viscount Jeff with the top fighting power in the family."

"The entire Jeff mansion is like an iron barrel, you can't get out!"

"So, you have to rely on me, without me, you can only choose to starve to death in the bell tower, or rush out and be killed!"

The bell ringer had a good reason and hit South's weakness.

What Sous is most afraid of now is that Angel can't get in touch with him. As a result, he who is trapped in the bell tower is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered with blind eyes and deaf ears.

South's silence made the bell ringer mistakenly think that he was hesitating, so the bell ringer added weight to himself.

"It must be very flustered in Jeff's mansion during the day, so I didn't care that the bell didn't ring on time, but tomorrow, if the bell doesn't ring as usual, young man, guess, would Viscount Jeff think What? Like, say, a criminal lurking in his own clock tower?"

"How to make the bell ring accurately, and when to ring the bell, there are strict rules. Without me, you can't play!"

"So, young man, you can't kill me."

The bell ringer grabbed Soth's wrist, trying to remove Soth's hand from his throat.

Sous let go of the bell ringer, and he realized that this old bell ringer really couldn't die at this time.

He must be kept, ring the bell on time, and obtain the daily necessary food, and even want to restore contact with An Jieer, but also rely on this bell ringer.

However, how to control the bell ringer has become a problem.

Sous looked coldly at the bell ringer who moved his neck and stood up from the ground.

"Young man, you are really ruthless. If the old man is not quite strong, he might not be able to get up. Treat an old man with gentleness!"

Sous ignored the bell ringer's words, and suddenly asked:
"Are you a slave of Jeff's family?"

"Slave? No, no, old Jack is not a slave. Old Jack is a soldier who has been on the battlefield, the soldier who once saved Viscount Jeff!"

Sous was overjoyed in his heart, but frowned on his face.

"You saved Viscount Jeff, but he asked you to ring the bell for him? This doesn't seem like a good reputation!"

The bell ringer scoffed at South's words of injustice for him.

"Viscount Jeff is a good man, a kind and good man. If I were dragged into a cesspit on the battlefield, if someone pulled me up, I would immediately kick that person into the cesspit and drown him. It is best never to have a second person know about the embarrassing thing!"

"Viscount Jeff didn't do that. Not only didn't he kill me, but he kept me by his side all the time, let me survive the war, and then gave me this job, so that I could eat and clothe myself warmly. I am very satisfied and also I am very grateful, so I try not to communicate with the people in the mansion, the less I talk, the less possibility of leaking this secret."

South really frowned, what he was afraid of was meeting a bell ringer who was loyal to Viscount Jeff.

"Then why did you tell me this?"

The bell ringer began to work in the bell tower and said:
"I've kept things in my heart for too long, and I have to find someone to talk about. You and I, and Viscount Jeff, are not from the same world. I'm not worried about you telling others."

"Not from the same world? What do you mean? Am I living in another world?"

The bell ringer did not know which gear was turned, and the bell of the bell tower rang.

"Of course, you are a person from the underground world, a mouse who can never see the sun, and naturally we are not from the same world! We can all live in the sun and in the eyes of everyone, but you can't!"

The bell ringer stretched out a finger with a sense of superiority, and tapped Sous.

That appearance is exactly the same as when Sous was young, when he walked into the Colosseum through the dark door, the audience who cheered and pointed at him was exactly the same.

Killing intent surged in his heart, and there seemed to be flames burning in Sous's eyes.

"We created the empire, maintained the empire, saved the people of the empire from the suffering of war, and allowed the citizens of the empire to live and work in peace and contentment, and you will only destroy and oppose. Naturally, we are not people of the same world! We represent justice , you represent evil!"

The bell ringer used the posture of talking about the mountains to accuse Sous, who thought he was the messenger of the true god, expelled the rule of the false god, and let the glory of the true god reappear.

"Are we evil? Are you righteous?"

"You guys, are you referring to those high-ranking Holy See and nobles?"

After the last bell rang, the bell ringer adjusted all the gears neatly, and said as a matter of course:
"You are thieves, and we are the ones who catch thieves. Isn't that clear? Just find any ordinary person, and he will give you the same answer!"

Sous was silent, and the anger in his chest was burning, brewing, supercharging, and warming up, but he was suppressed by reason, but it can be expected that once it erupts, the end of waiting for the bell ringer will definitely not be good.

"Why, you are not convinced?" The bell ringer saw the suppressed anger in Sous's eyes.

"You are on the street, and you see someone being chased by someone, who is being avoided by everyone, who are they? They are all thieves!" The bell ringer said plainly and plainly.

"Whenever you see an aristocrat or a clergyman walking on the street, you will be chased and hidden by others, and everyone will look at them enviously, meet them head-on, and salute them respectfully, in awe of them power and status!"

"I heard what you did. You killed an archbishop of the Holy See and robbed His Majesty Platinum's gift to Her Majesty the Empress!"

"I don't know what people outside think, but the little Jem who brought me food told me that these nasty mice, it's fine to eat garbage in the gutter, they always like to come out to provoke people Disgusted!"

"Little Jem is only 13 years old. He is a sunny and obedient boy. He can not only help his parents with work every day, but also run errands for the wives and ladies of the Jeff family to earn money to subsidize the family. You let him spend a whole day with a copper coin." He didn't make any money, and the boy was only one day away from saving enough to go to the blacksmith's apprenticeship, and now, I don't know when the martial law will end, and little Jem's dream will be postponed!"

It was still a simple example, but it left South speechless.He could only hold back the anger in his chest for a long while before he said:
"What do you know, do you know what we do? Do you know what justice is? You don't know, you are covered by darkness, you can't see the light, we are different, we see the light, and fighting for it!"

"Brightness? Still struggling? Young man, you must have read the book, and what you say is so profound."

"Old man, I don't know what light is, and I don't know what struggle is, but I know that Viscount Jeff can let us live a stable and full life, and you will only break this stability and threaten our lives !"

"For example, old man, I will die under your hands at some point!"
