It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"That's my honor."

Tom turned his head to look at the silver-haired girl with a slightly confused expression.

"Honorable Executive Officer Williams."

"Our enrollment time is only one year apart. When you were the student council president, we met many times."

He put a smile on his face and said in a nostalgic tone.

"I'm Tom Miller. I don't know if you have any impression of this name."

Ella was wearing a long white dress that resembled a court mage's robe, a flame-like gray crystal crown and a shawl of the same color, and her demeanor became more dignified and indifferent.

This is a kind of concretization of the rules of the Kingdom of God, and her image is unconsciously close to the one described by her honorable name.

Ella tried hard to remember the other party's name.

This scene seems to have appeared many years ago.

What she was sure of was that the other party should be a certain magic apprentice she had met in her student days, but she couldn't recall anything more.

"Perhaps what you say is true. I do have some vague impressions."

"But...forget it."

After a while, the girl gave up her plan to continue recalling, and tapped the ground with a scepter whose material was similar to a bone and whose top was inlaid with black gems.

Tom's vision flickered, and he found himself in a tall black palace.

The environment here seemed out of place with the entire island. On the pure black smooth floor tiles of unknown material, precious metals and gorgeous jewels could be seen scattered everywhere.

The silver-haired girl was sitting on a throne made of bones of different creatures, and behind her was a Gopher tree made of countless strange rings.

She looked down at the small figure in the empty hall, and her tone gradually lost warmth.

"Whoever you are, explain."

Saying so, a poorly made puppet appeared in Ella's hand.

Only then did Tom feel that his chest pocket was empty, and the things that had been there had disappeared at some point.

"Mr. Miller, why do you have that man on your body...why do you have Ulysses Philip's stuff?"

143 For this world

The invisible but huge pressure prevented Tom from moving a finger. He knew from the beginning that he would not have any chance to resist in front of the executive.

Everything here is under her control. When Tom entered the island with a stand-in puppet that obviously had a strange smell, the owner of the country had already noticed him.

So even the current situation was somewhat within Tom's expectations.

But even though he was already mentally prepared, his instinctive fear made him unable to respond for a while.

"Maybe I should give you a little hint so you know exactly what you've been doing."

The girl leaned back slightly, leaning casually on the throne.

"He sent you here."

In this sentence, Ella used a declarative tone.Even if he lacked common sense, a wizard of Tom's level would not make such a stupid mistake.

Even if he became Philip's man for some reason, there was no need to carry a double puppet that would expose him if he wanted to get some information here.Not to mention hiding Ella from the Kingdom of God, even some other relatively important places will have barriers to detect magic items.

His appearance was too deliberate, so that people could see at a glance that he did it on purpose.

"Ulysses probably thought that friendly communication between him and me was impossible, so he found a messenger for himself. It's only understandable, and it's very like his style."

"I just don't know, since when did the honorable executor start this side business?"

Ella sneered and sarcastically said.

As an executive, she has no sympathy for a traitor who breaks her oath.

But Tom raised his head with some difficulty, and met the cold and contemptuous gaze, with a serious expression.

"Chairman Williams—no, Your Excellency."

"I have never broken the oath I made. Ulysses Philip did not help me shield the influence of the Silver Banner. The fact that I am still alive proves that I am still willing to fulfill the oath and protect the world on the ice." world."

"Even if the ice layer is now full of cracks."

His gaze did not waver in the slightest, and every word he said came from the heart.

This statement made Ella shake her head slightly, but her tone did not become kinder.

"I've seen the report on that mission, Mr. Miller."

"Half a month ago, in order to prevent the scale of that war from continuing to expand. The acting executive once sent a senior executive and enough combat power as an envoy to represent our will to meet the Emperor Napoleon III."

"The mission went smoothly. Whether it was the French emperor who really accepted our conditions, or the wizard's excellent spiritual magic and successfully completed the hint, we all got the promise and secret letter from Napoleon III. And a A powerful and reliable heroic warrior will stay in Sedan Town to protect his life, with such guards, even the salvo of artillery from hundreds of mortal worlds will not pose the slightest danger to him."

A handwritten letter made of exquisite materials, which has been unpacked, is embodied in the girl's hands. Its tail has a golden eagle coat of arms on a blue background that symbolizes the royal family.

It was engulfed by gray-white flames in an instant, turning into a few whitish ashes.

"But Napoleon III still died under the bombardment of the kingdom, and even the special heroic spirit with a name couldn't keep him."

"Our people followed up to check the town and ruins of Sedan Town, but did not find the heroic warrior or her wreckage. Although this convinced us that there was a mysterious factor with a very high level in the Battle of Sedan—but It was too late, and the world changed, like another invisible wave."

Ella flicked the ashes off her fingertips.

"Unfortunately, the person in charge of that mission was you, Tom Miller."

"I guess you met Ulysses in Sedan. He persuaded you to hide it temporarily, so that we missed the last chance to intervene."

"Is there anything else to add about this matter?"

Her guess is almost the original appearance of the incident.

This reminded Tom of the conversation in the greenhouse garden. At that time, he was also completely in control of the initiative, and even fell into the trap of knowing it, and got such an answer through his own thinking.

Indeed, only such existences can be rivals... Only they can...

After a moment of silence, he let out a breath.

"No, your judgment is very accurate."

In his eyes, Miss Executive gradually lost all expression on her face, and even the cold smile couldn't be maintained.

"So, you betrayed your colleagues to protect the world?"

Tom answered decisively, without any hesitation.

"Yes, but I did not betray my colleagues."

"You concealed the news and let hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians die under artillery fire to protect the world?"

This time, his expression was gloomy and he was silent for several seconds.

"...yes, I'm sorry"

"The scale of the war is out of control, more countries are directly involved or are preparing to act behind the scenes, and the number of dead will exceed one million or more - is it also to protect this world on the ice?"

Tom smiled wearily for the last time.

"Yes...as you can see."

Ayla sat up slowly, resting her fingers on the top of the scepter inlaid with black gems.

Huge pressure began to brew around the throne, and the master's anger caused the entire kingdom to tremble and resonate.

Outside the palace, the flames on the strange trees on both sides of the road suddenly jumped more than ten meters high.The freezing clouds in the sky began to rotate, and in the dull thunder, the falling ashes and snowflakes turned into clusters of gray-white fire rain.

The skeletons stopped busy and prostrated themselves on the ground. They prayed to God and begged Him to appease their anger.

The girl's voice became calm and gentle again, but the content was already extremely dangerous.

"Now, give me a reason not to kill you."

Tom shook his head,

"My life is insignificant. Even dying for atonement cannot offset the sins I have committed... I must pass on his will to you, because you are also the guardians of the human world."

"War and death are not the purpose of Ulysses, it is the preparation stage of a great ceremony..."

So Tom Miller unreservedly told what he knew, including the origins of the apostles and electors, as well as Philip's fantasies.

Ella's expression became a little bit stunned, and she fell into a sluggishness because of the huge shock. For a while, even the divine part of her consciousness was weakened and suppressed by emotions.

Philip's crazy plans exceed Ella's imagination.

"He wants to... give up the planet."

She instinctively wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything when she opened her mouth.

Because reason told her that this is indeed the safest and most likely successful solution at present, and it is also very likely that this world—no, it is the last retreat of human beings.

But... after the emergence of human beings, are they still human beings?

She recalled the priest who confronted her in the void world, and couldn't get an answer for a while.

Chapter 144 Every choice has a price

After a long silence, the snowstorm gradually calmed down, and the palace stopped shaking.

Ella looked a little tired, and the coldness that was repelling thousands of miles away disappeared, and there was more of an ordinary person on her face.

"What does he want from me?"

Ella compromised to a degree by ultimately choosing not to pursue Tom Miller and his betrayal.

The current situation could not afford another fight between her and Philip, and every bit of hope counted for the world.

This made Ella feel exhausted and helpless from the bottom of her heart.

After the knowledge and level she has mastered reached the current level, she can no longer act according to her own will like in the past, because every choice she makes will affect the fate of countless people.Until today, she began to really understand Kleist and his seemingly unreasonable choices.

Tom didn't feel relieved or grateful for the change of attitude on the other side, and all kinds of different emotions finally converged into a silent low sigh.

The young man expressed his intention to come,
