The Fool of the Gods

(Today's cup is big!)

No one expected that a prison calamity could be resolved in this way. Cheng Shi, a death-defying prisoner, was actually sent out by the official knights of the Grand Inquisition in the base camp where death-defying prisoners were "produced".

If Cheng Shi had not experienced this absurd process himself, anyone who shared it would have been labeled a clown and praised: It's a really good script!

But this is reality, a reality far more absurd than the script.

There is a long corridor outside the door of the laboratory, and the end of the corridor connects to an underground well and underground warehouse of an abandoned ore mining site.

Melina sent Cheng Shi there and guided him to leave from the underground elevator.

After Cheng Shi left, she returned to the laboratory alone and opened a closed iron door, releasing the helpless Iron Knights who were trapped inside.

"Melina, you violated the secret experiment rules, you have no right to stop us from entering!"

"Well, I have no right, but I shut it down."

"You...Melina, Lord Kernlauer said that Lord Galausa is not allowed to come here again..."

"I'm just a guard, I can't influence her decision, why don't you go and tell Lord Galausa in person?"

"..." The leading knight gritted his teeth, "You shut me up!"

"I didn't shut it down, I just touched it by mistake, I'm not a guard here, I don't know what's going on in the laboratory It is understandable that I am not familiar with the situation.

If you don't believe me, you can report me to the Knights' Trust and the Fair Arbitration Tribunal. If I have time, I will participate in the defense. "

"You...

Don't worry! I will!

And I will report to Lord Kernlauer that you blocked the support of the Iron Knights, delayed the laboratory's emergency strategy, and ignored the secret experiment rules..."

"You are free." Melina interrupted the guard for the second time, and then stood back at the door with an indifferent face, quietly waiting for the lord to come out.

At this time, the helpless guards had to be more active and rushed to the experimental workshop to investigate everything that happened in the laboratory today.

After that, they had a conversation with Galausa.

And it was after these guards rushed into the experimental field that the originally closed door cracked again, and a figure flashed in and hid behind Melina.

Melina frowned slightly and said in a cold voice:

"Why didn't you inform me in advance before the plan was launched? If I hadn't noticed the explosion in the arena, Lagarusa might have missed the opportunity when she came here.

We don't have so many trial and error opportunities, Grindel!"

The hidden figure was Grindel, the deputy captain of the 17th Iron Knight Squadron, who had taken a fancy to Cheng Shi in the arena and invited him.

When he heard this, his body stiffened and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

"I didn't launch the plan!

I just found a suitable person to detonate the explosives, but the explosives that had been buried for three months were detonated in advance. I was just rescued from the ruins and rushed here as soon as I got out.

What do you mean, the plan was launched?"

"?"

Melina widened her eyes in surprise, turned around and looked at Grindel without disguising, and said with an ugly face:

"A prisoner in the death row called out your name, I thought you started the plan in advance!"

Grindel's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot:

"You let him go? You let Serius go!?

Melina, how dare you! Have you stayed in the Grand Court for too long and forgotten your origins!

The great scholars are waiting for news from us!"

"Shut up, you idiot, it's you who didn't think it through. How could a trap master let others trigger your explosive trap?

And someone knows his name! Who is the person you are looking for, is he wearing a red prisoner uniform?"

Grindel was stunned.

It's him, Red No. 4! How is it possible? How could it be such a coincidence?

How did No. 4 get here?

The Tower of Reason investigated for several years before finally determining the location of Serius. He was just a prisoner. How could he come here directly, and just after I had contact with him...

What kind of script is this?

Countless thoughts flashed through Grind's mind, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Where is Serius? Is he dead?"

"Yes."

"You took action? Since you took action to complete the task, why do you still question me?"

"It wasn't me who took action. I used my lance to confirm that the death penalty prisoner didn't have any parasitic souls on him when he left!

I don't know if Serius was killed by him, but Serius is indeed dead, and the prisoner did walk out of the workshop where Serius was imprisoned!"

GrindLinde was confused again.

"Are you sure?"

"Unless there is a [Him] covering it up, otherwise, I am sure.

It's ironic that the person you found yourself knows nothing about him!"

"He was not like this before. Today he seems to have changed."

"What do you mean?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. As long as you are sure that the real Serius is dead, our mission is completed. I am tired of these rules and regulations. The damn [Order] is so paranoid that it drives people crazy."

"Be careful with your words. This is His kingdom. If you want to scold, go back and scold."

"Someone is coming. I am leaving. I hope we can see each other again next time, at the academic sharing meeting in Tusnat.

See through the essence, see the truth, and see each other again if we are destined to meet."

Grinde disappeared, just as invisible as he came.

Melina felt his departure and opened her mouth to pray silently: "See through the essence, see the truth, and see each other if we are destined to meet."

When she turned around and looked up, the little girl guarded by two knights had already walked up to her.

"Aunt Melina, who are you talking to?"

Facing Galausa, Melina was no longer indifferent. She smiled and said:

"No one. I am preparing a defense in advance in case someone reports me to the Knights' Trust and the Fair Arbitration Tribunal."

After saying that, she also glanced at the two knights behind Galausa.

The two little knights were sweating profusely.

"No, everything you did today was all in accordance with my orders. I will ask Lord Kernlauer to forgive your sin of ignorance.

Let's go. Grandpa Serius was killed. There is no need for me to come here anymore."

The guard behind the little girl hesitated for a moment, but still whispered a reminder:

"Lord Galausa, Mr. Serius is still packing up the information. If you want to ask him, you can still..."

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to a fake. You know what I mean by a fake. Let's go, Aunt Melina."

As she said, the little girl took Melina's hand and walked out quietly.

...

Montrani Court of Justice.

At the top of the notary court there is a luxurious suite. It was originally a place for the Court of Justice to make a pilgrimage to [Order]. But since the death penalty was promulgated, it has become the place where the Supreme Judge stays when he comes to Montrani.

It was already evening. It had been 7 or 8 hours since the explosion in the morning. The setting sun was still on the horizon and had not yet returned home. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm yellow filter over the entire Montrani.

Supreme Judge Kernlauer stood on the balcony of the suite, looking at the direction of the collapse of the Montrani Arena, his face solemn.

After a while, there was a knock on the door in the room, and then a little girl pushed the door and walked in.

He didn't even look back but already knew who the person was. However, his expression remained unchanged and he said with a serious face:

"Little Galausa is back. What did you learn today?"

The little girl walked behind Kinlaur obediently and said softly:

"I've learned that useless people should be abandoned and killed without mercy."

"Yes, who did you learn from?"

"You, the honorable Supreme Judge, my dear grandfather, Lord Kinlaur."

"Order is above, and the law is below. Killing people also needs to abide by the rules and cannot be done at will. I don't seem to have taught you these things."

"But your words and deeds are teaching me these things."

"Very good, little Galausa has grown up." Kinlaur's words seemed to be very relieved, but his expression remained unchanged, still so serious and cold, "Serius is not a good teacher. He shouldn't give you too early. Infuse those noises of [Truth]."

"I asked for it myself."

"You want to pursue [Truth]?"

"No, I just think that the three adults don't like [Order], so I want to ask another "Him" for the answer.

"Truth" sees through the essence and may tell me the reason."

"Tongzhen joking, as a favored god of [Order], I believe in Him and worship Him, why don't I like Him?"

"Adults live in lies, it's really tiring.

But Lord Kernlauer, I still want to ask a question."

"Yes."

"If one day, [Order] is no longer orderly, what will happen to us?"

Kernlauer watched the sunset gradually disappear in the sky, and the afterglow quietly passed away, without joy or sadness, he said:

"What you learned today has written the answer for you.

Go back, I still have some things to deal with."

"Yes." Galausa bowed her head and left obediently.

After she left, another figure appeared on the windowsill of the suite. The knight in the shadow half-knelt on the ground respectfully and reported in a low voice:

"Trap Master Grindel hasAfter leaving Montelani, the learned poet Melina did not move. She still stayed with Lady Garusa.

Sir, are we really going to let them go? "

"Why not?

No matter who led this chaos, there must be someone to bear the guilt, right?

The Tower of Reason is already in chaos, and the old guys in the learned president's council don't think they would mind more chaos.

Go, find a chance to tell Garusa about Melina's identity. "

"Sir, Lady Garusa still thinks she has let Serius go, so...

She is so young..."

"It doesn't matter, she can bear it, and she must bear it.

Otherwise, after I leave, how can the glory of [Order] spread to places outside the Great Court of Inquisition. "

"Civilization is on fire, and [Order] will last forever. "The knight in the shadow hit his left shoulder hard and retreated quietly.

"Yes, [Order] will last forever, and I also hope that it can last forever, but I have seen its decline and decay.

So, how can we survive?"
