The original god, the zero-seat executive of the Fools

"So what should we do now? Can we persuade Ling to end the war quickly?" Paimon, who obviously did not understand the current situation, said: "If war is an accelerator, there is no need to run it until the progress is completed, right? ?”

Nasida sighed and shook her head: "I have persuaded you many times..."

"Sure enough, persuasion is of no use?" Paimon said dejectedly: "It's just like it was in the Coral Palace before, except that the heart that was taken away from power last time was replaced by Nasida this time..."

"...I have not been seized of power." Nasida said: "In fact, most of his decrees were promulgated after discussing with me and obtaining my consent. No matter in name or in substance, I am The supreme ruler of Meru.”

Paimon raised his head in surprise: "Then this war..."

Nasida sighed: "He never issued any orders about who to attack, right? It is better to say that it is the result of his promotion, but it is better to say that it is the choice of those Gilded Brigades. Every order he issued is a violation of Sumeru. , I have no reason not to agree to anything that is beneficial to the Sumeru people. It may be a bit too strong, but I have also made some reductions and modifications... Regarding the control of people's hearts... or the understanding of the evil side of human nature, He is much stronger than me."

"And Nacida cannot and will not order him to end this war initiated by those gilded brigades..." Ying murmured and added.

Paimeng swallowed, and there was an obvious look of awe in his eyes: "It's so awesome...no, it should be...so scary..."

Chapter 163 Responsible

During war, sudden battles are always common.

Led by Messis, the commander of the Third Legion of the Grass God Guards and the former leader of the Molten Furnace of the Gilded Brigade, a thousand Guards soldiers in green armor raided a place of twelve Gilded Brigades at midnight. The joint rebel army's station was awakened in the long night in just a moment.

Fire shot into the sky, and murderous intent boiled.

While such a scroll of Shura Hell was being scrawled on the ground, two figures were quietly watching the scene on the hillside covered with green velvet not far away.

Knox sat on the grass, with one hand on the ground and one hand on his knee. Next to him, Columbia sat beside him. As the evening breeze blew, a wisp of wine mixed with The red hair tips touched the side of his face, and the refreshing fragrance mixed with the fragrance of green grass into his nose.

Although the sense of smell has been weakened by three-sevenths like other senses, the smell is still fascinating.

Knox looked at the battlefield where life was withering away and allowed himself to be bathed in the bright white moonlight.

Columbia looked at his side face, with soft lines and delicate skin. If she ignored the indifferent expression without any warmth, I believe anyone who saw it would be tempted to have the idea of ​​taking him as their own.

Her silver hair shone with a dreamy rhythm in the moonlight, and her purple eyes shone charmingly in the dark night. Columbia approached Knox's shoulder and leaned her cheek against it. She said softly: "Why are you so concerned about Xumi's affairs?" What about the heart? Is it just because of the God of Wisdom?"

Rarely, Knox did not avoid the girl's approach. He looked at the station where the war was getting more intense and said calmly: "Didn't you say you know everything about me?"

"Oh, you really hold a grudge~" A look of helplessness appeared on the girl's face: "But I'm right. Of course I know about you, but it's limited to 'you' yourself."

Knox was speechless, but a certain cold-toned light deep in his eyes became more intense.

"It's so sad..." Columbia suddenly said something very inappropriate.

Knox glanced at her: "What? Will you still be sad?"

"After all this time, I thought we were at least close to each other, but you are always wary of me. Isn't it sad?"

"..." Knox's eyelids twitched, but he still said calmly: "Shouldn't I be wary of a guy who I don't know, but knows everything about me?"

"Well..." The girl tapped her delicate and beautiful chin with her index finger: "That's right, after all, you have such a strong desire to control~"

As she said that, she moved a little away from Knox, and she just sat casually on the grass under the moonlight, with her clothes falling on the grass, her hands gently spread out, and her smile more attractive than the moon in the sky. : "Then what do you want me to do so that you can let go of your guard against me?"

"It doesn't matter what it is~"

"No matter what it is?" Knox smiled: "What if I want you to die?"

"Of course it's no problem." The girl smiled sweetly: "As long as you really hope so." She put her hand on Knox's, and the two people's powers under the authority of the night echoed each other.

This powerful response within his own authority clearly told Knox that what Columbia had just said was not adulterated in the slightest bit.

Such an answer surprised Knox and made him even more confused.

Why?Such thoughts can't help but appear in my mind, just because my future self went to see her in the past?

And during the moment when he was stunned, the girl's body had already slipped into his arms, and she was caught off guard and thrown to the ground.

The girl's beautiful cheeks caught Knox's eyes along with the night sky.

I saw an ethereal smile on that unreal face like a work of art: "Because I love you~"

Knox narrowed his eyes, rainbow light flashed in his eyes, love?Just for such a boring reason?

After a moment, the coldness on his face melted and turned into a warm smile: "For you, this kind of feeling is indeed very addictive, so what allows you to give birth to this kind of feeling without restraint? I think it's probably It’s about my future self.”

Columbia was condescending, but there was a hint of emotion in her ethereal, child-like look, which was the love that finally no longer contained any restraint: "That's right, so, you are responsible for this -"

I always thought that he was a hidden danger of the same kind, but he turned out to be a person who could give birth to such a boring emotion as "love". The worries before seemed unnecessary, but in the future - maybe I can write more articles on this?

Knox's smile grew wider, but the answer he gave was exactly the opposite: "How can someone be responsible for something they didn't do?"

"It's not too late to do it now."

The girl's close cheek made Knox frown slightly. When the warm breath hit his cheek and the familiar touch was about to come again - his fingers on the ground trembled slightly.

Buzz... black flames rose up, and Knox's figure disappeared.

The girl sat up holding on to the grass, tilted her head and whispered softly: "I ran away..."

......

When Knox flew in from the broken window, Nacida was not surprised. The moment he landed, she immediately stepped forward and said: "The death rate of the soldiers has reached 17.00%, can't the war stop? "

Knox didn't speak. He glanced around the room casually. On the hammock where he usually liked to stay, Ying and Paimon were lying on it, sleeping soundly.The office was dark, with only the radiance of the moonlight outside as the light source.

Under the moonlight, Nacida's cute face was full of worry and intolerance. Knox paused and said: "30.00%."

Nasida's face stiffened slightly: "Is this the only way?"

"I will not take action until at least the death toll reaches 30.00%."

Knox's voice was very calm, but the coldness in his words made Nasida feel powerless.

She nodded slightly, with unconcealable sadness in her voice: "I understand..."

After saying this, Nasida turned into a burst of green fluorescence and flew out.

The dark office also fell into a quiet atmosphere. Only the gentle breathing of Ying and Paimon on the hammock behind them added a touch of tranquility to the night.

Knox sat on the chair and leaned on the back of the chair. He looked up at the ceiling. His expressionless face made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but he sighed softly: "Now that you're awake, don't pretend to be asleep."

Chapter 164 The moonlight that fills Sumeru

In the hammock, Ying opened her eyes and sat up with some embarrassment.

"You can see it..."

Knox didn't look back, just looked at the ceiling and said, "Your breathing is always very quiet when you sleep. I can hear you clearly with my hearing now, what do you think?"

The corner of Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and the tips of her ears felt a little hot. She quietly left the hammock and sat down on the chair next to Knox.

The moonlight shines in through the windows, making the atmosphere feel like a fairy tale.

Ying silently stared at the bright moon like a jade plate for a while, then turned to Knox and whispered softly: "Nacita... she doesn't like what you are doing."

"It's no use if you like it. It's useful." Knox said nonchalantly.

"It suits your personality... But after all, Nasida has helped you a lot, hasn't she? How about paying a little attention to her feelings?" Ying's soft voice gave off an ethereal feeling in this atmosphere.

But it had no impact on Knox. He continued to stare at the ceiling in a daze: "I'm just helping her now."

"...Isn't this similar to what you said before, 'This is all for your own good'?" Ying said softly: "You are doing it for the good of Xumi and also for the good of Naxi. I know, Naxi Da also knows, but Nacida doesn’t like such help. All the benefits brought by the war are based on the casualties of her people.”

"Nascida is a wise god. It must be a very, very painful thing for her to let her people who believe in her sacrifice one after another... Let's end the war, okay?"

"War is the choice of the Sumeru people. From the beginning to the end, I just issued a few decrees that sacrificed part of the interests of the Gilded Brigade to benefit the entire Sumeru." Knox smiled contemptuously: "This is how human beings, in their own In front of interests, nothing else counts. Killing your own compatriots and launching a war against your own country - I have never ordered or guided anyone to do this. They made their own choices, so why should I be responsible for them?"

"But the one you want to help is not Xumi, but Nasida, isn't it?" Ying looked into his eyes and said seriously.

"..." Knox said nothing.

He closed his eyes as if he was sleepy.

Yingye stopped talking and just sat next to him, accompanying him silently.

......

Ying was woken up by Paimon.

"Hey! Wake up..."

Ying opened her sleepy eyes, still feeling a little dazed.

"Why did you sleep here? Did you sleepwalk at night?"

Ying sat upright while holding on to the table, and then realized that she had fallen asleep on the desk at some point.

She quickly looked around and saw no one else in the office except Paimon floating aside.

Noticing that the sky outside was still dark, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Paimon, "Paimon woke up very early today..."

"Oh! It's so early! It's already afternoon! It's just that the sun hasn't risen today!" Paimon said quickly: "Don't you think this scene is like a vision caused by spirits fighting?"

Upon hearing what Paimon said, Ying suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief. At the same time, unparalleled cheers erupted from downstairs.

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, and then Ying took the lead and jumped out of the broken window nearby, followed closely by Paimon.

There were people celebrating jubilantly both inside and outside the teaching compound. Ying stopped a few scholars who were gathering and cheering on the roadside and asked, "Excuse me, are you..."

A female scholar wearing glasses smiled and said: "Don't you know yet? The war is over and we have won!"

Ying hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Didn't you say before that the form was very unfavorable to the Teaching Council?"

Another young scholar laughed and said: "That is based on the fact that our gods did not come forward! Although Lord Ji Xiangcao King exhausted his power for Xumi 500 years ago, gods also have friends. This time Lord Lucky Grass King invited a strange god from somewhere and executed all the rebel leaders of the Gilded Brigade. Then those rebel guys were immediately scared to death. One or two of them were so arrogant before. , as soon as they saw the power of God, they immediately laid down their weapons and surrendered. Now they have all become prisoners and will soon be sent everywhere to become laborers!"

After that, the group of people left talking and laughing.

Ying and Paimeng were left alone, looking at each other.

After a while, Paimon said in surprise: "Ling actually took action to end the war?! Who persuaded him?"

Ying didn't speak, but a heartfelt smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

......

As the night fades, the afterglow of the evening sun reveals its true appearance. As a prelude to welcoming the stardust falling into the mortal world, the dusk on the distant horizon shines on the tall buildings of the Order.

Knox was sitting on the edge of the building, and his shadow was pulled by the light to the feet of a figure behind him.

Nacida's eyes were shining brightly as she stared at Knox's back with her long hair hanging casually behind her back. She quickly walked forward and hugged him from behind. She said softly: "Thank you..."

Knox's eyebrows twitched, but when he felt the violent heartbeat of the girl behind him and the hot cheek pressed against his back, he just half-closed his eyes and said nothing.
