Chapter 289 Three Questions, Four Answers

Emperor's Tent

The blond young emperor was still sleeping soundly, but her sleeping posture was not very good. She kicked the soft quilt aside and hugged the pillow, clamping it tightly with her two big white legs, as if she thought the thing in her hand was someone else.

From time to time, she would frown and whimper helplessly like a little animal, and the tears in the corners of her eyes would also flash a little light in the darkness.

At some point, a white-haired man was sitting on her bed, quietly watching Nero's sleeping face, expressionless.

Reaching out his hand and gently stroking her cheek, the girl rubbed it as if she was attached to it, and then her brows frowned even tighter, as if she had fallen into a nightmare. Her eyelids trembled slightly, and a few strands of crystal light seeped out.

It was like walking through the sunny past, but finally found that the end of the road was the bottom of the deep border prison, and there was no possibility of escape.

But this time, the man did not comfort her, but sighed silently, stood up, opened the curtain and left the tent.

The brief light disappeared, the curtain of night fell, and the sleeping girl suddenly opened her eyes, with a look of doubt in her red eyes.

————

Outside the tent, the servants of the Roman Empire gathered together, looking vigilantly at their former colleagues, now the leaders of the rebels.

Facing the invisible deterrence, the white-haired general smiled slightly like a spring breeze, but when he saw a black-armored swordsman at the end of the crowd, his smile froze unconsciously.

"We have allowed you to meet His Majesty Nero." Boudica said with a serious face, "Now it's time to fulfill your promise, General Shuoyue, answer our three questions."

Agree to let me meet His Majesty Nero, and I will answer your three doubts-this is the exchange condition proposed by Shuoyue. Because of fear of the unfathomable Shuoyue and the premonition of some major event, everyone agreed to this request after discussion.

Of course, if Sakutsuki suddenly attacked Nero, Fujimaru outside the door would immediately activate the command spell and let Saber, the strongest one, rush in to cut him.

"Please." The white-haired man waved his hand, and the blood gathered into a chair and sat down, signaling everyone to go ahead.

Everyone exchanged glances, and soon Fujimaru stepped forward and threw out the first question they had thought of:

"Mr. Sakutsuki, why did you betray the Roman Empire?"

"It's a good question, although I really want to fool it..." Feeling the sharp eyes from somewhere, Sakutsuki's mouth twitched, and continued, "But since I'm here, it's to reveal information to you. After all, only after understanding the rules can you participate in this drama."

Without waiting for everyone to react, the white-haired man continued:

"You should have understood it during your long time together-His Majesty Nero is no longer, or not completely, the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius."

Hearing this, Fujimaru was stunned, and looked at Boudica, and immediately recalled the abnormality shown by Nero when they first met.

"Is this the reason why you chose to betray?"

"Not only that, even if His Majesty Nero is not abnormal, our ideas are destined to be different. Rather than answering the question, Shuoyue is explaining her reasons to someone, "She loves Rome and the world widely, and can even forgive the captives, but I am different."

The blood-red pupils are full of seriousness. The man straightened his back and said his ideas word by word:

"Compared to forgiving and betting the future on the illusory trust of the enemy's reform, I would rather believe that death will eliminate the source of all troubles."

The emperor who gives love to others can never coexist peacefully with the general who kills to stop killing.

This is the ideological dispute between the famous generals of the Qin Dynasty, including Shuoyue and Nero Claudius, and it is a gap that cannot be crossed by each other.

After understanding this, everyone stopped trying to ask questions, and Boudica stood up and asked the next question.

"So, what is your next battle plan? "

"What a brazen conspiracy..." Shuoyue chuckled and told everyone frankly.

"I will launch an attack early tomorrow morning, and I will not stop until I capture the capital of the Roman Empire and capture the emperor."

"Only you?!" A follower exclaimed.

"One person is enough. "The man raised his lips.

Hearing this, Boudica almost scolded Shuoyue for being ignorant of the world! But looking at the general's calm and oppressive figure, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Perhaps, no, this famous general can definitely do this...

This is not an inference that arises from reason, but from some immeasurable level, from the climbers of the way of military strategists, and the almost fanatical worship and belief in the peak people.

If such an amazing general can't do this, who else in the world can start this war of annihilation?

Boudica simply fell into silence. Seeing that the servants were silent, Fujimaru stepped forward and wanted to ask the third question, that is, to ask what the abnormality of the United Empire was, and what kind of enemy the so-called demon beast He was, but before that, a dark figure had gotten ahead of him and made a cold voice.

"You are ready to do this?"

"Saber? ! "Fujimaru was surprised, but he saw that the swordsman who never took off his armor looked calm. On the contrary, Sakutsuki was uncharacteristically smiling, thinking for a moment, and answering seriously.

"I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but what I can say is that I don't expect that in return."

Although his words were unclear, everyone clearly understood what Shuo Yue was answering at that moment.

In the silence, the man could only be heard continuing:

"In the final analysis, does that love belong to friendship, out of gratitude, or is it due to the contact and experience in just a few days?"

"Everyone here knows that this is just a dream that is destined to wake up. I can accept it without any concern."

How simple is that?

You fall from the sky like a prince charming, perfectly in line with all the fantasies of a young girl in love. She trusts you so much and relies on you so much. As long as you smile at her, she will feel happy and joyful. As long as you give her a hand, she can't wait to give her heart to you. None of this was defensive to him.

Even if you are willing, you can conquer this delicate flower of Rome, you can even show off your power, and then start doing whatever you want on the bed...

But then what?

Then you wake up from a dream that has lasted for a long time. When you wake up, you lament that good times are short, and start to look forward to meeting the next person who can do whatever they want without any responsibility?

Singularity, Lostbelt, World of the Moon... there are too many real dreams that are not connected to the current world. Even if you make a mistake, you can just walk away and continue living in another world line. .

But what is the difference between this and garbage?

"The difference between man and beast lies in the masochistic rationality." Shuo Yue stood up and said calmly, "People must be responsible for what they do. I have walked all the way until today, not to degenerate into what I can do from the beginning. What a scumbag.”

In the silent atmosphere, the white-haired general nodded to his future opponents, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Mr. Shuo Yue!" Suddenly, the black-haired young man stopped him and blurted out the words that had been lingering in his chest for a long time.

"How do you feel facing His Majesty Nero now?"

This is the fourth question, Fujimaru.

Shuo Yue wanted to answer this way, but he still stopped unexpectedly and replied with a wry smile:

"Perhaps I should have taken the sword of victory from the beginning."
