Longmen Memoirs

An outsider who is not bound by the laws of Kazdaele can do a lot of things. A person who is trusted by the Tower of Babel can also do a lot of things. And a person who is capable of wielding frightening force People can also do many things. When these are added together, the results are self-evident.

"Theresa kindly gave them the opportunity, but they failed to seize it. I am not her. I am not as kind as her, and I don't want to waste time on them."

Chen Mo heard the footsteps behind him, and he knew who it was without looking back.

"I've guessed that you would do this since you returned to Grai." The doctor stood in front of the fire: "But you left a group of people behind. When did you start contacting them."

"Li Ting has done a lot of things, and they don't all need to be known by the Tower of Babel."

"You don't trust the Tower of Babel?"

"I can't trust all the Tower of Babel. Without the help of those people, I wouldn't be able to go so smoothly."

The doctor was silent for a few seconds before retorting.

"They're not helping you, they're helping themselves."

"But I can't wait for Her Highness to wake up and give her an empty parliament. The Tower of Babel alone cannot support Kazdaele to continue. In fact, we all know that the end of the war is just the beginning, and new forces will Being reclassified, the prying eyes and gazes from the outside world will inevitably become more intense."

"Yeah..." the doctor said helplessly.

"It seems that some people are about to abdicate from the position of field commander of the Tower of Babel." Chen Mo put his hand around the doctor's shoulders. "What? Do you feel a little reluctant to let go?"

"The way you changed the subject was really blunt. Don't be sarcastic. Who would miss that position?"

"Can't wait?"

The doctor turned his head unaccustomedly and glanced at Chen Mo's hand on his shoulder.

"A bit, I still don't know what to do next..."

The doctor raised his head and the flames illuminated his figure, and he murmured.

"If it doesn't work out, you can also apply to be transferred to the logistics department. The reconstruction process in Kazdale requires a lot of manpower and material resources. There are still many enemies. There is always a place for you to shine."

"have a look."

"You don't object?"

"To tell you the truth, I am actually more familiar with business than commanding on the battlefield."

"...I almost believed it."

"So I told you the premise, but I didn't expect you to believe it." The doctor said calmly, and then asked: "How do you think the Grai newspaper will write about this matter tomorrow?"

"I know what newspapers across Kazdaele will write in the next half month." Chen Mo said: "In the first few days, they will write that the vicious men in black are brazenly persecuting Sakaz's life everywhere, and in the next few days, they will write Becoming, the wise and mighty warriors from the court successfully destroyed the Scar Market, which squeezed and exploited Kazdel, and brought heavy suffering to Sakaz, and then transformed into the great benevolent and wise monarch of Sakaz, Her Majesty Thearesia. Finally, his people were saved from the evil black dogs."

"Catch the wind?" the doctor asked.

"It's human nature." Chen Mo said. He coughed slightly. The doctor turned his head. Chen Mo put away his hand. The doctor could not see the black blood staining his palm.

Maybe he saw it, but he didn't expose it.

"Half a month, doctor, in this half month, not only must we end this war completely, but we must also overwhelm the remaining opposition forces, whether it is the Trasisi side or the Tower of Babel side." Chen Mo said:

"There is not much time, so I dare not. No, even if there is enough time, I cannot guarantee that no innocent people will be implicated. Whether they are bewitched or deceived by false news, I cannot guarantee."

"You actually don't have to tell me."

"You all know... Yes, you all know." Chen Mo put down his hand on the doctor's shoulder: "I will leave Kazdaele to you from now on. Take care of the Tower of Babel and Theresa."

"I promise you that."

Chen Mo raised his head and glanced in the direction of Rhode Island. Under the blazing fire, he left the city he had first taken over without looking back.

Nearly six years later, he is about to fulfill the promise he made when he was 16 years old.

Chapter 35 You are just an inconspicuous mercenary

Behind the Eastern Front of Kazdaele

Field Medic【<>

Hedley slowly woke up, his blurry vision gradually became clearer, and he saw the white ceiling. Along with the clarity of consciousness, there was a stinging pain at the base of his empty right arm.

Memories began to flow back, and Hedley gradually remembered what happened on the battlefield. He lost an arm. He was originally prepared to be buried in the battlefield, but he only lost one hand.

"you're awake."

Hedley heard a voice beside him, and a glass of water was handed to him.

"Thank you, thank you." Hedley said subconsciously, his voice hoarse and weak.

He then looked up and saw a black-haired woman in a hospital gown sitting on the hospital bed next to him, with a plastered arm hanging on her chest and a bandage on her forehead. It seemed that the place next door belonged to her. .

"Ines... Ines, are you still alive?" Hedley was stunned.

"Yeah, it's not just me who survived the catastrophe. Look behind you."

Hedley looked behind her and saw that W was lying on her hospital bed with her legs crossed. When Hedley looked over, she raised her hand and waved.

"...W?"

"What's that strange look in your eyes? Ines isn't even dead, how could I die behind her?"

"I won't die even if you die."

"Oh, how dare you say that? Don't forget who saved your life."

"Huh, I didn't ask you to do anything!"

"I heard that you almost cried afterwards? Is it true? Miss Ines, who was crying, didn't expect that you still have this side." W asked in a strange way.

"Nonsense!" Ines shouted.

The familiar sounds of bickering and quarrels. In the past, Hedley had always been tired of the noise between Ines and W, but now he missed it.

"What's that expression on your face, Hedley? It's so disgusting." w noticed Hedley's appearance at this time.

"I won't refute your point this time." Ines nodded and said, "It's indeed a bit disgusting."

Hedley: "..."

"No matter what, it's good to be alive. It seems that the three of us are standing together again in this way, which is not entirely a bad thing." A fleeting smile appeared on Hedley's face.

"Damn, you...were you laughing just now? Hedley." W pointed at Hedley's face in disbelief and asked.

"Ok?"

"You actually laugh, it's so weird."

"You read it wrong."

"Ines..." w looked at Ines.

Hedley also looked at Ines.

Facing the gazes of the two people, Ines tilted her head slightly.

"Same feeling." She nodded solemnly. "It's quite permeable."

Hedley: "..."

"How long have I been unconscious?" Hedley asked.

"You were the last to wake up," Ines replied.

"Eastern Front..."

"It's over, the Tower of Babel and the Parliament won the war."

"So the war is over?" Hedley was in a daze.

"Although it is a bit unbelievable, but..." Ines breathed softly and said: "Hedley, the war is over, the war in Kazdaele is finally over."

"I just woke up after a nap and the war was over. I'm so lucky." W whistled.

"What qualifications do you have to say such a thing, w."

"Can't even sigh? Such lenient management." W retorted: "We have missed a lot of wonderful and good things. Am I not allowed to even complain a few times?"

"……up to you."

"Then there are adults who are leaving the court..." Hedley continued to ask.

Ines suddenly fell silent.

"Leaving the court... They have been arresting Sakaz during this time. Many people have disappeared or... died. The Glei Parliament Building, including more than a dozen major members, was buried in a fire. Now Sakaz The noble families and nobles here are all in danger, but Her Highness Theresia has not made any clear statement at the Tower of Babel, and even the scar market we are familiar with is gone."

"..."

“It seems like a lot has changed in Kazdale during this time.”

"It's not just big." Ines sighed: "It's simply earth-shaking. Although we also thought that the scar market would disappear one day, we just thought about how deep the water in the scar market and those old guys was, and what was behind it affected Sa. How many forces and clan interests does Katz have?"

"Now they're all gone."

"After all the evil is done, isn't it a good thing that all these people are dead? I can't say it enough. The more these damn guys die, the better it will be for Kazdaele. The new Kazdaele doesn't have half of the land that can provide them with survival."

W said, his eyes lingering on Ines and Hedley for a moment and asked: "...or maybe you two are still missing your past life?"

"Nostalgic?" Hedley was stunned. He shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just... I'm inevitably a little confused. The war is over..."

"Do you need me to use pain to bring you back to reality?" W asked emotionally, "I'm happy to help."

"Thank you for your offer, w, but no need." Hedley refused.

w looked at Hedley's right arm.

He trembled his shoulders and said, "Yes, I see you are in quite a lot of pain right now. There is really no need to do it multiple times."

"What happens next?" Hedley asked Ines.

"After what?"

"After getting rid of these clans and forces, how will Li Ting deal with himself, and how will His Highness view Li Ting who did such a thing? I don't want to think about it like this, but I can't help but think about it. What if all this happens? This is all His Highness’s instruction, could it be that we misjudged Theresia.”

"You want to know the answer from me?"

"I just want to know if you've never had any problems with your spells?"

"How do you want me to answer you... Hedley." Ines said: "Actually, after asking this question, you already have the answer in your heart. Your Highness is still the same His Highness as before, but Kazdaele is no longer the past. We are familiar with the Kazdaele, and maybe we all have to try to adapt to a new identity. The experiences that we relied on in the past can no longer help us now.”

Hedley was silent.

He lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling above him.

"You think this is unfair?"

"It's not my turn to comment on this kind of thing."

"But your shadow didn't say that, it was refuting your answer." Ines said, and after a long time she sighed softly: "Hedley, I want to remind you, you are just an inconspicuous mercenary. , it’s not easy for you to survive, so don’t fantasize about things you shouldn’t think about all day long.”

After Ines finished speaking, she looked at W who was just listening to their conversation without saying a word.

"I know you're listening too, w."

She added:

"All three of us."

Her words were like a reminder.

Later, a story spread in Kazdaele.

They said that whenever Kazdaele enters the long night, there will be a group of people wearing black cloaks guarding Sakaz on this land in the night.

No one knows exactly who they are, anyone could be them.

Before Victoria falls into night, there is always a group of people responsible for lighting the street lamps and illuminating the dark road under the feet of every Victorian walking in the dark. They are called lamplighters.

But there was also such a group of people in Kazdale.

They swore to watch through the long night until the dawn of Kazdare came in peace.

"This was my job, my mission, and an achievement I'm proud of throughout my life."

The old Sakaz told the story of his youth to his longing grandson in front of the fireplace.
