Chapter 20 Two Gems
It is obvious that Victoria, who has full intelligence, does not look down on her sister who only has nine intelligence. Of course, Victoria also has the qualifications to be proud. After all, so far, the open and secret battle between Akelius and Victoria ended with the complete failure of the fool Nine Lady, and the record is a perfect number that is unbeatable.
"In fact, the trip to England is also related to her."
Lying lazily on the back of the chair, Victoria gently brushed the cover of a blank book and explained to Zhou Li: "In my observations at that time, you will get clues about Sister Eluma's life before heading to England. Those clues will guide you to the Third Court of the East, not England."
"But my stupid sister led you to Jordan after smelling the danger of Yingnan. In her senses, seducing a rabbit into a fatal trap is a perfect plan. But she was so stupid that she never thought that you are not a rabbit. Not only is Jordan not fatal to you, but instead..."
With his eyes swept over Eluma who was playing with the black fog casually, Victoria picked up the corner of her mouth and showed a meaningful smile: "It has allowed you and Eluma to gain a more perfect harvest."
Zhou Li nodded unanimously, but did not directly admit it. During his trip to England, Zhou Li eliminated the hidden danger of being manipulated by the black emperor, allowing Eluma to gain enough self-protection ability, and also obtained paper and pen gifts from the God of Literature. Of course, most importantly, he received crucial information.
Emma's life experience, the Golden Age and the God-Choice Age, the existence of the will of the earth, and the gathering place of all clues - the Third Oriental Court. This information was never contacted by Zhou Li, who only knew Tata in his previous life. This information also greatly increased Zhou Li's understanding of this world and laid a perfect foundation for his plan.
However, Zhou Li did not like a trip to South England.
Perhaps it was because he witnessed too many comrades dying in front of him in his previous life, whether in his previous life or in this life, whether he was controlled by the gods or not, Zhou Li attaches great importance to "bonds". Although he usually disdained this word and believed that two of them were empty, many times, Zhou Li maintained his bond with others.
In Jordan, he met Luo Ya, who was a little rigid in character, but inadvertently showed kindness to others. He was the initiator of blood on his hands, but he was also a warrior who fought for mankind until the moment of death.
When Zhou Li first met Christine, the man wearing a gorgeous general uniform and a very decent expression gave Zhou Li a feeling that he was a complete "politician", a general who was good at compromising and compromised.
But in that war where death is left, Christine laughed and rushed towards the falsehood. He was like the crazy boy twenty years ago, facing the ancient god with hot blood and wanton posture.
The demon hunter Gerost, who was joked about by fate, was clearly born to hunt the devil, but in the end he was told that it was the devil who created him. However, even so, Gerost, who was flowing with the blood of the ancient gods in his body, resolutely pulled the trigger, gave up the power given by God, and returned to ordinary people.
Zhou Li met several friends in Jordan, but on the day he left, except for Ista, who had broken his arm, only the buzzing of the bell tower and the smoke from the distance to see him off.
"The Yingnan and his team brought me a lot."
Zhou Li, who broke free from his memories, smiled complicatedly, "but he also took my friends away."
"Emotion is a burden to humans, this is what my sister said."
Looking at Zhou Li, who showed a fleeting sadness in front of him, Victoria smiled softly, with a hint of relief flashing in her eyes, "But I don't agree."
"In my long life, I can sense the changes in everything, and I can accurately calculate the time when the water droplets fall, the date of birds' death, or the future of a landslide and tsunami."
"But I can't calculate human emotions alone."
Looking at Zhou Li and Eluma, Victoria's delicate cheeks raised slightly and said seriously: "For other matters, I can do absolutely exquisite calculations, but only humans, only humans have emotions that cannot be calculated, so I have never seen through the future of human beings."
"Zhou Li, I will help you and help you find a perfect future that belongs to mankind."
As if he was telling Zhou Li, and as if he was admonishing himself, Victoria said slowly: "All things in this world are destined to be destroyed, but only your future is unknown, and it is the road covered by the fog of destruction I cannot see."
"I was wary of you at first because you came from the realm of God, and God was the root of decay in my eyes. But in these days, what you did tell me that this time the brave men are not fighting for God."
A golden mysterious pattern appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and a dazzling golden gem slowly condensed from Victoria's palm. She stared at Zhou Li and stared at the variables of this world. "Master Brave, I don't know if you and I know each other in another time and space. But I have seen your trust and kindness in me. That is pure, an emotion I have never seen before."
"I don't want to wait any longer. I have been waiting for enough days. I still haven't recovered after only a little bit of understanding. The smell of rottenness in this world is getting stronger and stronger. Now, I have to take action."
The golden gem condensed in Victoria's palm. It was a diamond-shaped gold jade, with a warm and dazzling halo spreading around it, adding a mysterious aura to this peerless gem. Victoria, who had a pale face, looked at the gem in her hand, and a decisive look flashed in her eyes.
"This is mine."
Putting the golden gem in front of Zhou Li, Victoria said solemnly: "You have lost the power of the Black Emperor, which is a good thing, but you will also be weak for a short time."
"I put half of my soul and power in my own image. She also has the ability to observe and calculate. Please accept her and let her witness your future on my behalf."
Looking at the gems flowing in front of him with a warm halo, Zhou Li fell into silence for a long time. He raised his head and asked, "What will you do?"
"Please rest assured, I will not die."
Shaking her head, it was obvious that after condensing her native place, Victoria was very weak. She looked at the books placed in the bookshelf around her, with a smile on her face, "These books, these words are my life and strength. I will just sleep for a short time, don't worry, I still want to witness your future."
"Do you need me to do something else?"
Looking at Victoria, Zhou Li was in a mess. He knew that Victoria in front of him was not the friend who knew him in his previous life. She would never secretly pour half a cup of white sugar into her coffee and make boring jokes with him.
But, she has been Victoria.
“It’s very simple.”
Standing up, pulling up a corner of the long skirt, Victoria bowed slightly and gave a perfect lady gift to Zhou Li and Eluma. She raised her head, with gentleness in her golden eyes and an ethereal voice.
"Please don't fight for humanity, it's unfair to you."
"Fight for yourself, brave."
Words, knowledge, history.
Victoria's body slowly dissipated, and countless flying words returned to the books of the big library like elves falling into the world. As if everything had been in her expectations, Victoria's disappearance did not make the library silent. On the contrary, the flying words and books made the library more vivid.
Zhou Li and Eluma stood quietly in the world of words. After a long time, everything returned to peace. Zhou Li took a deep look at the empty table and chair in front of him. He picked up the coffee pot, slowly poured a cup of black coffee, and drank it all in one go.
Very bitter and not delicious.
"Let's go."
Zhou Li stood up, and Eluma grabbed her hand, and the familiar warmth dispelled the bitterness at the corner of her mouth. Zhou Li did not look back and left the large library he was familiar with.
After walking out of the Victoria Library, Zhou Li and Eluma stood on the crowded streets, feeling like they were a different life for a moment.
There is no way, the amount of information is too large. Even Zhou Li didn't expect that Victoria could involve so many things.
"It seems that this time, we have to deal with another enemy."
Victoria's original character, the gem named "Lani" by Eluma lies quietly on Zhou Li's chest. Lani, who was just created, has no consciousness yet, but the ability to "block all outsiders to peek" is enough to make Zhou Li wear it all the time.
"Akelius?"
Eluma gently repeated the beautiful name and said with some regret: "Why can't she have a good conversation with Victoria, she is obviously a sister."
"I am still his father of Magnan III, and he is still rebellious."
After passing by the portrait of Magnan III, Zhou Li complained without hesitation: "This man is a pure cub. He agreed to give all the arms for free. As a result, the old boy played the trick of installment payment by himself. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and asked Lin Zi and the others to quickly buy the rest, otherwise I would beat him up in the palace."
"You still want to beat the emperor."
"Of course, I can beat him now."
************************************
"well."
Sitting in the palace, Magnan III placed the briefing in his hand casually aside, leaned against the soft throne, closed his eyes and began to relax.
"At the border of 323, a businessman quarreled with the British people because of customs. A fight broke out between the two sides, one died and three injured. The British people died, and the three seriously injured were Magnan people. Toreya, how do you think it should be solved?"
The empty palace had no echo, only Magnan III's own breathing. After a long time, he opened his eyes, looked at the empty palace, and sighed softly.
Be busy, be more busy.
In fact, Magnan III was not without children. When he was in his twenties, he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The two were in love with each other and there was no so-called benefit in it. But the good times did not last long. After leaving Magnan III with a daughter and two sons, his wife unfortunately died of postoperative infection. Three years later, his daughter also died of illness, leaving only two sons.
Magnan III did not have much affection for his two sons, just like the second generation was for himself. But the second generation was alienated from the third generation because the third generation threatened his status, but the third generation was alienated from his two sons purely because of his personal character.
Magnan III rarely expressed his emotions. His expression was always indifferent, and his voice was almost unchanged. Because of personal reasons, Magnan III did not care about rights, reputation, or even his throne. He might have governed Magnan very strongly because of his sense of responsibility, but he has been pursuing his lifelong wishes.
Star.
Magnan III had long been preparing to create a second brave man, but two crucial difficulties directly broke the plan. The first is that he could not find an existence with a talent comparable to the brave man. Even if it was properly operated, it would soon be exposed due to lack of ability and ruined the plan.
The second difficulty is what the brave himself means. Although Magnan III has never had contact with the brave, he knew that these people were all geniuses in all millions, and it was natural to be arrogant. It is inevitable that an unknown person would share the same contribution and reputation as himself.
These two difficulties prevented Magnan III's plan and made him very depressed. Over time, Magnan III changed from a passionate boy to an indifferent old man. He began to gradually forget his wishes, and also alienated his friends and relatives, and wanted to turn himself into an absolute political machine in revenge.
The appearance of Toreya and Zhou Li made Magnan III, who was already desperate, see the dawn. He also re-examined the "Second Brave Plan" that was once buried in his heart. Because of this, Magnan III began to feel lonely.
At the beginning, Toreya was a tool in the eyes of Magnan III, a tool to realize his dreams. However, Toreya had a pure heart similar to Eluma, which gradually made Magnan III accustomed to such a taciturn girl who was usually silent and had no scheming or planning standing beside her and discussing some political issues with herself.
Over time, when Magnan III looked at Toreya, she always felt like her dead daughter. Because of Toreya's company, Magnan III began to learn normal communication, became less indifferent and mechanical, and began to learn to adapt - referring to learning Zhou Li's spirit.
Magnan III knew that such days would not last long. Toreya would become the second brave man under her own arrangement, and she would completely defeat the disaster with Zhou Li, so that humans could see the stars.
But I can't see that day anyway...
