Chapter 247 Live up to Others, Family Inheritance
Otto's shot pleased him, but Europe was in complete chaos.
Destiny has just taken over the political power of various European countries, is preparing for the Eastern Expedition, and has attacked the most powerful rebels. Everything seems to be developing in the best direction for some people.
As a result, the archbishop of Tianming died suddenly!
He was still killed by his youngest son!
Nicholas was also an outstanding person when he was young, but he turned out to be dull and immoral when he was old. He died in a ridiculous way.
It's really sad that he could end up like this.
The death of Archbishop Destiny was unexpected by everyone, even Francis.
What's going on? Why did you kill your father? !
Why hadn't he noticed before that Otto, the kid, would be so awesome when he grew up? !
The "back wave" is really terrible!
For a moment, Frances wanted to marry Karen to Otto.
Of course, this was just a thought. The most important thing for him now was how to save the child Otto.
Due to the death of Nicholas, the royal families and nobles of various European countries have rekindled the "fire of hope" in their hearts. In order to regain power, many of them secretly contacted various rebel leaders, and even Some rebel armies were founded by themselves.
Therefore, today's destiny is very difficult. Moreover, if the archbishop dies, who will take his place?
Otto would definitely not be able to kill his father with his son. He would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame and be spurned by people for generations.
Of course, things have two sides, and Otto's evaluation is not all bad, there are also positive ones.
The various organizations that lurked in the dark and resisted the destiny of heaven established Otto Apocalis as a model of sacrificing his life for righteousness and annihilating relatives for justice. They called him the "light of dawn", respected him as the "holy son", and established a memorial ceremony for him. Statues of wise and mighty gods.
There are even many rebels who have united secretly, and they are planning how to rescue the "Holy Son" from the prison of destiny.
Nowadays, it is impossible for Otto to become the Archbishop of Destiny, even if there is no one sitting in that position.
finally.
Through the unanimous selection of the top management of Tianming and the Castle Council, the position of Archbishop of Tianming fell on Ferdinand Apokalis as expected.
He is the eldest son of Nicholas and has an excellent political mind.
period.
Otto's eldest sister Bianca (the same name, not a silly goose), second sister Lisa, and second brother Fabian did not raise any objections, and even gave in on their own initiative.
Because they are not qualified to compete with Ferdinand for that position. Even if there are many forces with bad intentions behind them, it is not enough.
However, just because there is no dispute on the surface does not mean that it will stop secretly, and it is impossible for Lisa to just watch that position being taken by Ferdinand.
Fabian, who seemed arrogant and stupid, actually hid it from almost everyone, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In short, Nicholas's death had a great impact on the destiny, and even delayed the Eastern Expedition.
Of course, it won't take too long. The greater the internal contradiction, the more important it is to have an external contradiction to share the pressure.
Therefore, Ferdinand's heart was more inclined to the Eastern Expedition.
On the other hand, it was precisely because Ferdinand's ideas belonged to the Eastern Expedition faction that he was able to sit in the position of Archbishop of Destiny.
destiny,
Underground cell.
"You go out first. We, father and daughter, want to talk to Master Otto alone." Francis ordered.
"Yes! Lord Francis!"
The captain of the guard guarding the prison saluted and led his men out.
In the cell, Otto sat with his legs crossed on the ground, his clothes were sloppy but his expression was calm.
Outside the cell, Kallen squatted in front of him, neatly dressed but with worried eyes.
There was only an iron railing between the two, but it was this fence that seemed to separate two different paths in life.
"Don't worry, Otto, my father and I will definitely save you." Kallen suppressed the worry in her eyes and encouraged, "You are the only one who can cure the black plague at the moment. If destiny needs you, it will not be allowed. You’re going to the execution ground.”
"Karen, thank you! But there is no need to comfort me. The prison is very quiet, so I have sat here and figured out one thing these past few days." Otto said with a smile, "Studying medicine cannot save Europeans. .”
"..."
Otto suppressed his smile and continued with a serious look: "I can save their bodies, but I can't save their corrupt and ugly hearts. I can make them healthy again, but I can't make them get rid of ignorance and servility.
"Even if you really try every means to save me, what can you do?
"I will continue to serve destiny in order to survive.
"This is not what I want.
"Destiny's Eastern Crusade will inevitably fail, and my death will awaken the minds of the European people! Let them dare to draw their swords against Destiny and dare to overthrow Destiny's decadent rule.
"Karen, the enemy of humanity is not Honkai, but... humanity itself."
"But, Otto, have you forgotten the agreement we made when we were children?" Kallen said excitedly, holding the iron fence with both hands, "When we grow up, we are going to China. We are going to find Yae Sakura, and you have to be my companion.
Mother, you want to see me put on my wedding dress and marry her. Have you forgotten what you once said? "
Francis came back to his senses. He was very concerned about the Yae Sakura mentioned by his daughter.
Who is this Yae Sakura? It turned out that my daughter already had her heart set on belonging? Why did Kallen fall in love with that Yae Sakura? Why has he never heard of this kind of agreement between Kallen and Otto?
Francis was already feeling very uncomfortable, but now he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Karen, that is just our ideal. However, there is a gap between ideal and reality. Even if I can survive, I will never be able to leave my destiny."
Otto paused and smiled: "Karen, don't care about me anymore, let alone come to see me again, you have a brighter future.
"But I...have long been trapped in darkness. If you still respect me, let me die and use the last weak light in my life to illuminate the future path of the European people."
"Then we, father and daughter, will feel guilty for the rest of our lives, right?" Francis said suddenly.
"Why do you say that?" Otto pretended to be puzzled, "You saved my life and don't owe me any favors."
"Don't hide some things from me anymore. Although I am stupid most of the time, I am also very smart occasionally."
Francis said calmly: "You are not an impulsive child, and it is even more impossible for you to kill your father knowing the consequences. You would not have made that choice that night unless you were desperate.
"As far as you are concerned, only if Kallen and I's safety is threatened can you commit patricide, right? You are doing it to protect our father and daughter.
"You told me before that my reputation among the people is unusually high, like a saint, and the rebel army I funded was surrounded and suppressed that night. I have basically guessed what Nicholas said to you. .
"So, at that time, you thought that if Nicholas did not die, then I would definitely die. Even if we could survive that disaster, we would no longer be qualified to oppose your father. Sooner or later, we would die. am I right?"
"..."
Otto was silent for a moment and said: "I just want to live up to the faith in my heart. Even if I protect you indirectly, it is just to repay your kindness for saving me. You don't have to feel guilty."
"Maybe you're right, I should pretend to be ignorant, but that's not me. I won't watch my and Kallen's savior be killed by the dirty enemy in my heart! The only option is to survive. Go die! You obviously have the ability to save people from fire and water, but you choose to die. This is a cowardly act!"
"Bang!"
Francis kicked down the iron fence that separated the three of them.
Then, he stretched out his hand and said: "Come out! Good boy, let's fight it out together! From this moment on, I, Francis, resign from my destiny."
"I, Karen, will quit my job too!"
Kallen looked a little excited when she saw this. She took out the two guns Wutong gave her and was eager to try them.
She was still young and had not experienced any real beatings, so Kallen was not afraid of anything.
But Otto was indifferent and said: "No! I can't leave here. If I leave here, then you will become a sinner, and the honor of the Kaslana family will also..."
"The honor of the Kaslana family is to protect the people!"
Francis walked into the cell, held Otto by the back of his collar, and forcibly dragged him out.
"Kaslana has never been a lackey of destiny!"
Otto grabbed the iron fence with one hand and said hurriedly: "Calm down! You have to think about your and Kallen's future!
"You must also know that it is impossible for us to defeat the destiny now! Because the people of Europe have not lost hope in the destiny!
"There is an old saying in China: 'He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.' Even if you lead the entire Kaslana family to rebel against the destiny, or even form a rebel army, it will not be possible!"
Karen opened Otto's fingers on the iron fence with one click. Seeing this, Frances nodded to her daughter with satisfaction.
Kallen deserves to be his daughter! so smart!
Francis smiled and said: "Then we will hibernate in the dark and wait for the day when destiny is closer to the cliff.
"Believe me, sooner or later, we will overthrow the corrupt rule of destiny!
"Also, don't be so negative. Thanks to your father, I have a high reputation among the people, and you are also called the 'Holy Son' by the rebels. We may not win the hearts of the people.
“In addition, most of Tianming’s attention is currently focused on the Eastern Expedition, so we may not be able to become a force.
"The Kaslana family still has some heritage!"
Francis extended his hand to Otto, who was sitting on the ground, and said with a smile: "Child, the advantage is with us! Because we have justice in our hearts! For the sake of mankind, let us join hands to open up a brighter world!"
Otto was silent for a while, and finally took Frances' hand.
"Why is this so? You and Karen obviously have a more relaxed and bright future..."
Francis laughed and patted Otto on the shoulder, interrupting: "Hahaha! I told you just now that I am stupid most of the time. How can you be more serious about the stupid choice? This may be the reason why we are stuck. It’s the inheritance of Silana’s family! Maybe the ancestor of our family is just a fool!”
"..."
After speaking, Francis took out both guns and said: "Karen, protect Otto, follow me and fight out!"
"Okay!" Kallen said excitedly.
