Longmen Memoirs

Chen Mo said:

"Because before this, no feudal monarch was willing to lay down his rights for the people. It depends on how much sacrifice you are willing to make for Sakaz."

ps: Is it dangerous for me to write like this? How about I be more subtle?

It would be great if Chen Mo was in Ursus, but unfortunately Ursus does not have the conditions of the Tower of Babel. Their situation is even more severe, and a group of infected people alone is not enough to support this theory.

When a person focuses on his own misfortune, it is difficult for him to imagine the suffering of others. People can never empathize with others, but they will probably have similar emotions due to similar experiences.

------

Theresia did not immediately give Chen Mo a positive answer, and Chen Mo did not persistently ask Theresia to follow the idea he said.

She is Theresia, with her own will and ideas, not someone's puppet.

It was Theresia who gave Chen Mo the idea to do something, so he decided to accompany Theresia on this path that he had never imagined before. He had to be careful and careful every step he took. It takes a lot of energy to think and refute, to practice and overturn.

Maybe all the enjoyment will not be able to wait for the rewards it deserves. Maybe there will always be many accidents on this land. These accidents and changes will become setbacks and difficulties that hinder those who want to go down this road. For all of us, perhaps one day, when all the dust settles, both Theresia and Chen Mo will be buried in the dust of history and will never be remembered again.

But that won't be now.

People always want to do something in life, whether it is selfish or something else.

"So, this is what you told Theresia." The doctor's voice was still as emotionless as usual. "What did she say?"

"Still the same, no clear response." Chen Mo replied calmly. "I'm not in a hurry. Your Highness will make a choice sooner or later, but before that, we have to make preparations."

Chen Mo looked at the doctor, then turned to look at the two bead pendulums he placed on the table that were constantly colliding.

"I just asked straight to the point, what's going on with Gray and Kebaril?"

"That was just a small experiment."

"What attempt?" Chen Mo asked, as if he remembered something.

The doctor looked at him.

"I'm very interested in the theories you mentioned."

"So you just built two mobile cities?" Chen Mo asked.

The doctor crossed his legs and rested his elbows slightly on his knees. Her eyes could not be seen clearly under the mask, and half of his body was hidden in the shadow of the light.

He always does.

"Aren't you surprised? In the past, both the lords and the city ignored this force. They focused on the infected and the poverty of Sakaz. Even though Theresia said that she wanted to change this country, no one I believe she can do it." The doctor said: "However, now, with a few people and workers in the city factory, they have easily changed their situation. I want to know how far this power can go, and how far it can go. How effective it will be in future wars."

"You think I know the answer to that."

"I think you know better than me. You know what to do next, but I have no clue and no energy to take care of it."

said the doctor, as if he meant something.

"I remember you once said that you need someone. This person must be decisive and ruthless. He must have Theresa's complete trust. He must have an army that belongs to him. He must also have strong force and courage. You need this A person needs his hands to be stained with blood, he needs to be able to withstand countless assassinations and conspiracies, he needs to be Sakaz’s nightmare, and he needs to be able to faithfully complete the countless dangerous ideas in your mind.”

"Yes."

The Doctor didn't deny it.

"Must it be?"

"Sarkaz's problem must be cured in this way. It's impossible for Theresia to agree with this kind of decision, and Trasis will not be stupid enough to dig his own grave." The doctor said: "You are just like me. There is no foundation at all in Kazdaele, so what we can do is actually very limited. Thearesia is trapped by the trust of the lord and his kindness. This is her advantage, and it is bound to become her biggest disadvantage, especially Resis is very aware of her weakness, which is also the weakness of the Tower of Babel. If she wants to win this war, she must first solve this hidden danger."

"You think I can be that person?"

"I don't know. You are a smart man, Chen Mo. You know what you can do. Just like the ideas you instilled in Theresia, whether you admit it or not, you are gradually trying to become what I said. That person." The doctor's deep voice sounded in the shadows: "And now the group of people in Grai have just verified your idea. If you can, you can probably take advantage of this."

Chen Mo is not stupid, so he can hear the meaning of the doctor's words, and he also understands that the doctor seems to have seen through his thoughts.

This is a horrible person.

He has even begun to make plans for Chen Mo's future. Although Chen Mo doesn't know whether the doctor did it intentionally or unintentionally, he would rather believe that what happened to Grai is not just an attempt as the doctor said.

"Are you plotting against me?" Chen Mo asked, but his voice was surprisingly calm, not even the slightest bit surprised.

"Yes, I'm plotting against you." The doctor replied without any hesitation: "I'm plotting against everyone, Theresia, Kelsey, and even the entire Tower of Babel and Kazdaele are within my plot. , I had to do it.”

He did not explain the reason, and Chen Mo also knew the reason very well. Because of Theresia's hesitation, and because of the current situation in the Tower of Babel that seems stable but is actually strong on the outside, Theresia only has nominal power to rule, but the majority In fact, part of the army is not at her disposal.

In the confrontation with Tracy, she seemed to be in an advantageous position, but she was really in danger, and her condition had not yet been solved.

"Why me?" Chen Mo hesitated for two seconds and asked.

"It can be anyone." The doctor put down his hand: "As long as they have the conditions to become the kind of person I need, I don't care about you or anyone else."

"In this way..." Chen Mo did not give an answer. He asked again: "Since your target is Grai and those cities, then the mercenaries entering the northern front should not be as simple as simply transporting supplies, right?"

The doctor raised his head slightly, seemingly surprised.

"How did you notice it?"

"Because you said try." Chen Mo said, "So the success or failure of those three mobile cities is actually of little use to you. Your purpose should be elsewhere."

"A very keen observation. In this case, can you guess what my purpose is?" Doctor [#

"I can guess it and why ask you?" Chen Mo asked back.

Chen Mo's words did not cause the doctor any displeasure. The military commander of the Tower of Babel rarely showed any emotion. Maybe even if he did, it would not be noticed by others.

"Hearth." The doctor said: "The industrial center of Kazdaele is also the largest industrial area in Kazdaele. The steel, military supplies, source stone fuel, and land cruiser repair and construction factories produced by Furnace are supporting the entire Kazdaele. This is the largest industrial area of ​​​​the war. If this area is not captured or completely destroyed, this war will never end."

"Don't tell me that your purpose of using Grai and transporting supplies to promote propaganda is to send people to blow up this mobile city?"

"Do you think a few people, or a small number of troops, can capture it?" the doctor asked, his words sounding a bit disdainful.

"so?"

"It was just a casual move for me to let people sneak into the Hearth. Anyway, there is nothing important this winter. Whether I do it or not is the same." He said it easily, as if he didn't care at all. For this "casual move" he said He easily incited countless people in the two mobile cities to fight for their lives. For a casual move, he hired Sarkaz's mercenaries to take huge risks and cross the northeastern front to sneak into the northern part of Kazdaele.

Chen Mo was suddenly speechless. He didn't think about how to answer because he wasn't sure whether he could become the person the doctor said was crucial to his plan.

But since the doctor told Chen Mo his purpose, Chen Mo naturally needed to give an answer.

The layout is small.

Maybe this is the way of thinking of big shots and chess players. At least Chen Mo didn't expect the doctor to answer like this. It's no wonder that Kelsey would look at him with that kind of extreme distrust or even vigilance.

Chen Mo left the private room where he and the doctor were. After he left, a figure pushed open the door of the room. The doctor was still sitting there, as if he didn't care who came in.

The figure of the visitor was hidden in the shadows where the light could not reach.

"Are you serious?" Her voice sounded in the darkness.

"Ascalon, it's time for Theresa to make a decision. We all know that if we want to maintain the status quo, the only thing waiting for us is to be expelled from Kazdaele, but leaving this land means that we have admitted ourselves. s failure."

"This is what you think. You'd better know your duty."

"Duty... You can't deny that Theresia's current behavior has disappointed many people, Askaron, even yourself... I know where Kelsey went, but I don't I think Rem Billiton’s first ship can change the current situation at the Tower of Babel.”

"Then in your opinion, he can do it? He is just a mercenary. Why would he give you such an illusion?"

"An ordinary mercenary is not worthy of Kelsey's attention." The doctor shook his head, and the shadow under his hood stared in the direction of Askaron: "An ordinary mercenary does not have those weird things in his mind. Concepts and ideas, Askaron, did you hear the name Feudal Era? He reminded me of something I had almost forgotten.”

"You want to tell me that he is actually an old monster who has lived for who knows how long." Askaron said with a hint of sarcasm. She rarely showed this emotion, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't.

"It's ridiculous!"

"It's normal for you to feel this way." The doctor said calmly. He stood up and put his hands into the pockets of his coat: "But maybe in the eyes of other people, this land is also a bit ridiculous."

"Theresia knows how to do it. The theories and ideas he brought to Kazdale can allow him to put them into practice one by one and become the melting pot of his practice. And Theresia will see some things in these practices that she ignored in the past. Something." The doctor said slowly.

"But Her Highness didn't tell anyone. She actually knew what you were planning." Askaron said.

"I won't hide anything from Theresia." The doctor replied, his steps paused slightly: "I think I can probably guess what Theresa is thinking, and I don't tell him because if this path It ultimately fails and he doesn’t have to suffer the consequences.”

Ascalon fell silent.

There is no need to bear the consequences. This is certainly Theresa's idea, but Askaron doesn't think so, because whenever you make a choice, you will inevitably bear the corresponding consequences for your choice.

She still feels a dull pain in her forehead.

She never dreamed that she would perform a somersault during that test, and this somersault caused her to face surprised and stunned looks for several days with her head wrapped in a bandage.

In fact, Askaron didn't attach much importance to the little mercenary, so she naturally had no disgust or resistance. She just guarded and monitored the safety of the entire Tower of Babel and Theresia in accordance with her duties.

She didn’t understand why Kelsey, the doctor, and Theresa all valued that little mercenary so much, but since that was the case, Askaron had no objections, even if Chen Mo took his original position, even if he was replaced by the little mercenary. The soldier's head was covered with blood.

June 1087, 1, Crystalline Era

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mo proposed the idea of ​​going to Grai to Theresia, but Theresia did not ask him why.

"Actually, His Highness should have known about the plan of the Doctor and I for a long time, right?" Chen Mo asked in the office of the Tower of Babel.

The doctor's words still echoed in Chen Mo's mind, and Chen Mo finally decided to test Theresia, or it was the first step in his answer to the doctor.

Theresa's full trust, every step that Chen Mo wants to do is inseparable from this. As the leader of the Tower of Babel, the wise and wise Theresia can't be so stupid that the doctor and his guards do what they want. Nothing is clear.

Theresia paused and put down the pen in her hand.

"I know, the doctor told me."

Chen Mo had to admit that when he heard this sentence, he suddenly felt helpless and slightly panicked in his heart.

"...Your Highness, don't you have anything to ask?"

"I want to ask, I have some ideas." Theresia thought for a while and looked at Chen Mo, with a faint smile on her lips: "Mr. Chen Mo always said that he joined the Tower of Babel with a purpose, but when So far, I have never talked about what I want to do. In my opinion, Mr. Chen Mo is more like my friend, companion and half-teacher. Your ideas and theories have given me a lot of help and inspiration. But I couldn't help Mr. Chen Mo. Even if Mr. Chen Mo said that he wanted to use the Tower of Babel, the distance between Longmen and Kazdaele should be very clear to Mr. Chen Mo himself that we can't actually provide you with anything, even Even our own situation is difficult.”

"So, the only thing I can provide Mr. Chen Mo is trust."

"Trust is very heavy." Chen Mo said.

"But Mr. Chen Mo, you are not a person who disappoints people, are you?"

Theresia's answer was cunning.

"I hope I'm not, but I can't be sure myself. Your Highness couldn't have used this kind of rhetoric to gather so many people to serve the Tower of Babel, right?"

"If I say yes, will Mr. Chen Mo believe it?" Theresia asked.

"I think I have to leave the Tower of Babel. Your Highness, I want to go to Grai and have a look. If possible, I hope you can sign a document for me then."

"Documents about what?" Theresa asked.

"As for the documents I told you about the ideas in my mind, I hope to try it in Kazdale. This may require the use of manpower and material resources from the Tower of Babel." Chen Mo seemed to have made some decision, and he looked at Theresia's gentle and delicate face.

"If one day, what I do makes His Highness angry and disappointed, I hope His Highness can still try to believe me one last time."

On the morning of the 28th, Chen Mo, as the commissioner of the Tower of Babel, arrived at the mobile city of Grai, which was transferred to the south.

He used his actions to give the doctor his answer.

I can try to be the kind of person you need, not for the Tower of Babel, not for Kazdael, Sarkaz and the Infected, nor for any lofty ideals.

Just because there is still a weak kindness left in my heart after coming out of the black wall. It tells me that I should do something that I think is right, even if it is wrong in the eyes of this era.

I might become a heinous sinner.

So what?

No one will remember me anymore.

Chen Mo actually knew very well that those memories of the orphanage when he was a child were just his wishful thinking.

1 A small goal

People always look from the life they choose to the life they did not choose, and thus feel envious and regretful.

------

southern industrial mobile city glai

The small mobile city stood at the end of the plain. It was said to be small, but compared to what he thought, everything around it seemed so small.

Entering the city from the lift port connection area, it seemed as if Chen Mo's arrival had been known for a long time. A group of major figures who led the workers' resistance in the city a few weeks ago, such as Hoge and Su Enyang, were already waiting at the trestle for the connection.

The turned-up collar of the black woolen coat blocked a lot of the severe cold in winter. The weather today was not bright, there was no sunshine, it was dark, dry and cold.

Jiexian Port is sparsely populated. In fact, after coming to the south from the city of Grai, except for a few people sent by the lords and commanders in charge of the local war zone, no one has paid any attention to it.
