Longmen Memoirs

But how to do all this, how to do it, how to choose, and where to start.

Chen Mo finally realized how ridiculous what he just said to Theresia was. It was as ridiculous as everyone knew to love the people as children, everyone only wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and everyone knew that change requires bloodshed. Sacrifice requires compromise and determination, but few people can tell you how to do it.

Chen Mo himself couldn't tell.

He still has a lot to learn. If he wants to embark on this path, he already has experience and knowledge far beyond that of others, but he still has to learn, learn to see the world, and learn to combine what he knows with this world. reality of the world combined.

Just like Chen Mo in the orphanage. Although he has a mature soul, his body is still a child. He must learn to be a child. He has to wait for himself to grow up, but when he grows up, he does not know that he is a child. What to do.

This is not ancient times, and there is no need to make salt and iron. This is not modern, and there is no need for the Republic of the Three People, no capital to sprout, and no society to be born.

There is not a ghost floating over Europe because this place is called Terra.

This is a completely different world, it has its own history, and it also has its own development law, even if this law makes it seem a little backward, causing gaps in science and technology, and causing the earth to move toward chaos and weakness. Let the infected become the target of public criticism.

But this is also its history, which is different from any other country or land.

Chen Mo was not prepared to do anything for this land or for Theresa, whom he met for the first time. He did not deny that Theresa aroused his affection. Just like ancient counselors and kings, they always cherished each other or There are some sensations.

Whether it's for profit or the idea in the other person's mind.

But Chen Mo didn't. Chen Mo and Theresia were not like-minded people, and he had no idea of ​​fighting for the infected and Sakaz. The encounter between the infected and Sakaz was certainly worthy of sympathy, but in the final analysis it was not enough. It resonated with Chen Mo, and besides, he still had something he had to do.

But Chen Mo decided to stay because of Theresa's words about seeing you next time and because of the contradiction in his heart.

He wanted to stay and see what Theresa would do. He also wanted to stay and see if there was really something different on this land. Maybe subconsciously, Chen Mo still remembered everything that happened in the black wall, no matter he Like it or not, this land already had a look in his eyes, but Theresia's appearance seemed to impact this fact, as if it was impacting Chen Mo's fixed ideas.

It also seemed to tell him that maybe it wasn't that bad, maybe the future that 052 was looking forward to might really come, maybe like what Karien and the children at the school said, His Highness is the future of this country.

Chen Mo was unsure. This uncertainty drove him to want to see more, and also drove him to want to get close to the white Sakaz.

Interactions between people are usually like this. Once there is an intersection, it is difficult to go back.

The knowledge in Chen Mo's mind gave him a longer-term perspective than most people on this land, and now he decided to forget it for the time being. He decided to look at this land and everything that happened in Kazdale with a simple perspective. .

The different future that the Sarkars hope for, Thearesia's seemingly unattainable ideal, the regent's pressing step by step, and Thearesia's people who are in a difficult situation.

Ideas and reality are different. Ideas are just one direction, and how to use this set of ideas depends on people and reality. Otherwise, why could the people who proposed those ideas, Marx and Eng, not be able to save their country?

Chen Mo cannot and cannot use a set of pale and specious things to refute a certain practitioner's ideas and her seemingly stupid beliefs.

Chen Mo only found out later that His Highness made a special trip to see him because of the similarity between him and the doctor in Kelsey's eyes, and because his words aroused Theresia's curiosity and Kelsey's vigilance.

Chapter 81 The flames of war continue ([-]) The past flowing into the wilderness

History is an old trace, a memory, and is remembered by those who survive by chance.

People have created history that should not exist, and history has also created people that should not exist.

Dawn has not yet arrived at the Kazdaele Wilderness Camp. There are a few bright stars in the black sky, no moonlight, and the air is mixed with moisture and mud after the rain.

A drop of rain fell from the tent into the dirt.

Theresia looked up and saw the white-haired lynx coming out of the shadows.

"Ah, you're here, Kelsey." The red eyes fell on Kelsey who appeared from the shadows, but she was not surprised at all.

"You knew I was coming."

"I just went to see Mr. Chen Mo. To be honest, what he said made me a little concerned."

"I heard."

"What do you think?"

Kelsey was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking, and gave an answer after a few seconds.

"I think what he said is right, Theresia, maybe you should focus on Kazdaele. We all know that the cause of the Tower of Babel depends on you alone. If you fail, We would lose the power to unite Sakaz, many people would not be able to accept this outcome, and the Tower of Babel might fall apart."

"You know that's not what I want to hear, Kelsey." Theresia shook her head slightly: "I mean, what do you think of the thoughts he mentioned?"

"I can't comment, Theresia, I'm not you, I'm not a leader, and I can't foresee the future." Kelsey replied calmly: "That's something you need to consider, but it's too far away to talk about it now. The development of an idea requires the right soil. I don’t know where his ideas came from, but his ideas are undoubtedly dangerous, extremely dangerous.”

"Is it dangerous?" Theresa murmured: "I feel the same way, Kelsey, it's very dangerous. There are few countries on this land that dare to use this method of pushing and imprisoning the king to serve the people." Winning freedom, no matter what the purpose, but my intuition tells me that he is right, remember when Colombia first became independent, you told me that it was an opportunity, and it could also be Kazdaele's The next disaster proved that Colombia has indeed embarked on a path that is different from other countries."

"This path is not necessarily suitable for Kazdaele, Theresia. Kazdaele cannot become the next Colombia. You should know this very well. After the establishment of Colombia, their arms exports, proxy wars and order trade are gradually Empty Kazdaele.”

"Then let's..." Theresa said expectantly.

She didn't finish her sentence.

"No." Kelsey shook her head slightly: "You know better than me, Theresia, it is impossible for Kazdaele to copy the repeated history of the countries in his words. He did not even mention the infected, and the infected In other words, ore disease is one of the main reasons for Kazdaele’s current situation, as you said, this is not just a problem for Sakaz.”

"Ore disease, and the terrible stereotypes caused by ore disease." Kelsey's words were very light: "I agree with him on one thing, Theresia, ore disease is by no means an incurable disease, but the consequences of ore disease The problem is definitely not infected people, but a stereotype, a fixed concept. It is difficult to get rid of this concept, because the stability of this land is built on the contradictions born from it. There are countless people will prevent you from doing this, they will all become your enemies, you need allies, you need soil...you also need enough time.”

Kelsey seemed to want to remind Theresa that your mission is not over yet, you still have a long way to go, and you can't just collapse and give up.

Her eyes were on Theresia's waist. The horrible and severe infection was like a dark fang that was eroding Theresia's life all the time.

How long can you hold on?

"I will find a way." Kelsey seemed to be saying to herself.

"Don't force yourself, Kelsey, I believe you, I will wait." Theresa said slowly, she was always so gentle and didn't want people to worry about her, even if she didn't think so in her heart.

"I have seen hope, Kelsey. Maybe Mr. Chen Mo has really seen the future."

Her words seemed to be false lies, but Kelsey failed to expose them directly. There was no cure for the terminal illness, and Theresia had already accepted her fate.

But Kelsey couldn't, like she said, he couldn't let the Tower of Babel fall apart, let alone watch Theresia die without being indifferent.

"That might be his delusion."

"No, Kelsey." Theresa's rare retort: ​​"You should listen to what he said in person. The firmness in his expression and words told me that it was not a lie. It was like he had actually seen it with his own eyes. The future, it’s a pity that I didn’t ask him what the future will be like.”

Kelly didn't answer.

She didn't want to hear such harsh lies anymore.

After a while, she said: "I remember I reminded you not to have contact with him. His identity is very suspicious. I can even suspect that he is not a simple Black Steel employee. He hides too many things. It's like what he told you, but he is only 16 years old and he should not have so many extraordinary ideas and visions."

"Maybe he will be the same kind as you?" Theresia smiled.

"Don't make such a joke, Theresia." Kelsey turned her head away indifferently.

"Sorry..." Theresia apologized softly: "But I think you can really have a good talk with Mr. Chen Mo."

"I will consider it." Kelsey's eyes fell on Theresia again: "But before that, I have to re-examine the guards and attendants around you, and you, Theresia, there is no next time ”

Kelsey's words contained admonishment and a hint of warning.

Theresia stuck out her tongue slightly, as if she didn't dare to refute.

Theresia's childish behavior made Kelsey sigh softly, feeling helpless and amused.

"Perhaps one day you may regret these words today, Theresia." Kelsey said softly.

Theresa seemed to be used to Kelsey's excessive worry.

At that time, Theresa still believed in the future, and she still believed that one day she and Kelsey could witness that future together. But since when, since when she felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, this The future was hidden in her heart.

Theresia knew better than anyone what her death meant to the Tower of Babel, and she also knew exactly what the current Tower of Babel was united by.

However, there is no antidote to loneliness, wandering has no end, and terminal illness cannot be cured.

------

The next morning, Kelxi found Chen Mo.

This was the first time Kelsey and Chen Mo met alone after nearly a month since Chen Mo said he decided to stay, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing and dull.

Chen Mo thought that Kelxi probably already knew about His Highness sneaking out to see him. She came to ask questions, but Chen Mo couldn't think of anything to blame, or to drive him away, but Chen Mo didn't think that she was so important. .

The worst outcome is that Kelsey knows the philosophy she instilled in His Highness. Chen Mo is the guy who is preparing to lead Kazdaele into the war. Kelsey decides to destroy him in advance.

But Kelsey's performance was too calm, and she couldn't even see any emotion other than indifference to anger, which made Chen Mo don't know how to respond.

Scout came over once during the process, and Kelsey just glanced at her lightly, so Scout closed the door faster than he opened the door, as if he was frightened.

The weather outside the window was beautiful, and although there was nothing worth seeing in this area of ​​Kazdale Camp, the clear blue sky was still worth looking up at.

"What's going on with the Great Revolution?" Kelsey finally spoke, with the deck on her raised legs. Her eyes slightly glanced at Chen Mo opposite, with no unnecessary expression on her cold face.

"???"

Chen Mo's mind was immersed in the blue sky outside the window. To be honest, if he didn't do this, it would be difficult for him to face the pressure brought by the woman in front of him, and it would also be difficult to resist not paying attention to her cool and beautiful face and the exposed clothes under her upturned coat. Half of the white calf.

The pair of sharp animal ears on top of Kelsey's head and the black hair on the auricles also made Chen Mo want to look at them from time to time. He thought he was used to facing such features, but people really can't deny themselves.

"Where is the Winter Palace that captured the Winter Palace? What is the October Revolution? How do you explain constitutional monarchy and republic..."

"!!!Cough...um..."

Chen Mo's eyes widened and his lips moved, but he coughed violently first.

Sure enough, Theresia betrayed him.

Chen Mo couldn't help but think, because he was very sure that he had only told Theresia, and he had been reflecting on it yesterday, but today Kelsey was here.

Kelsey's cold gaze made Chen Mo not sure how to answer. He wanted to say what he told Theresia again, but Kelsey's eyes told him that Kelsey was not as gentle as Theresia.

Chen Mo couldn't give an answer, but Kelsey didn't care. She also didn't care about certain thoughts and theories that couldn't be explored. No matter whether it was good or bad, at least in Kelsey's view, it had no effect now. It's just some unrealistic talk.

"Who are you and where do you come from?"

Chen Mo finally calmed down, and Kelsey raised her head slightly. Chen Mo's eyes subconsciously fell on the white calf. Kelsey noticed Chen Mo's gaze, but there was no reaction that a woman should have.

"I don't understand what you mean, Ms. Kelsey." Chen Mo said: "If you came to me to do something late, I admit that I may have said some things that I shouldn't have said."

"But you don't think what you said was wrong?"

"No, actually, I now think I might have made a mistake."

"What is wrong."

"I am too idealistic, and this land is more complex and contradictory than I thought, and it is also more single and pure."

"So in those futures of yours, you never mentioned any words about infected people and ore disease."

"Because in my future there will be no infected people, no ore disease, no Originium engine, and no deformed social structure like now."

"Deformed?" Kelsey's attention paused on these two words.

"Yes, deformed." Chen Mo did not argue: "Don't you think that on the premise that the industry has developed to this day, the interests of the monarch and the nobility can still guarantee the current authority. Isn't it a trend that goes against the trend of social development? Is it abnormal? In the history I know, when industry develops to a certain extent, the emerging aristocrats who benefit from industrial achievements and people who hope to meet their material and cultural needs will unite to gain more rights and benefits. And force the old nobles and emperors to make concessions for the continued development and stability of society."

"But not here, because the contradictions between people and nobles due to the dissatisfaction between the means of production and the means of living are covered up by larger contradictions, because the infected are naturally a group of oppressed people without human rights, because any Anyone can be infected, because there is no weapon that can give people who have never received training the ability to defeat the caster."

"Is this what you think?" Kelsey asked.

"I'm just talking about the situation, and I don't have any ability or idea to try to change and reverse this trend." Chen Mo said. "When Theresia asked, I could only tell her what I knew."

"But you know very well that these words of yours will seduce her."

"It's up to her whether she believes it, not you, not me."

"But you can't guarantee it." Kelsey's words were a bit cold.

"I don't need to guarantee." Chen Mo said: "I don't think you will cover up some things that you already know because of some unrealistic remarks and things that Her Highness already knows well."

"I warned you not to get close to Theresia. This alone gives me reason to deal with you."

"You are wrong. I am not approaching her, she is approaching me." Chen Mo replied honestly.

Kelsey couldn't help but sneer.

"What's your purpose?"

"If you want to drive me away, I have no objection and no right to refuse." Chen Mo replied.

"Then let's go back to the topic we just talked about. Where did you know what you said?"

"Can I lie?"

"Whatever." Kelsey said nonchalantly.

"I know a lot of things, Ms. Kelsey, and there was even a time when I wasn't sure if I had actually seen them."

"For example?" Kelsey raised her hand and leaned forward slightly, seeming to be a few centimeters closer. There was a rare trace of exploration in her eyes.

Chen Mo's eyes fell on the ears on top of Kelsey's head.

"I like your ears very much, I mean the pair on the top of your head." Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and fell on Kelxi's face: "For example, let me tell you that this land is actually a sphere. In fact, when you see it at night The stars are also spheres, and the sun is actually a huge fireball called a star. For example, people are not born as humans, but evolve continuously to become what they are today. Another example is that there once was a network. It covers the entire world through artificial satellites, and people do not rely on land craft to travel at all..."
