Chapter 941 Value
The brief silence was broken by the sound of choking.
On the ground, dust was flying.
"Hiss... oh... you really haven't changed at all from back then..."
Russell lay on the ground, turned over with difficulty, and looked at Ekaterina's indifferent appearance: "She spurned all weak emotions including love and tenderness, but she became Gaia, who is known for her love and compassion... …Katya, when will you be able to face yourself honestly?"
boom!
On the floor, there was a big hole where Russell's head used to be.
Russell had miraculously floated up from the floor and regained his balance. Opposite him, Ekaterina seemed motionless and just said calmly:
"Of course, after I can face you calmly——"
Russell sighed: "I understand your resentment and misunderstanding of me, but didn't we break up peacefully back then?"
"Peace?" Yekaterina was puzzled: "You mean you framed me on the eve of the selection of clerks and caused me to lose my qualifications?"
Russell's expression froze for a long time, and he said solemnly: "That was an accident!"
"An 'accident' involving you?"
Ekaterina shook her head, "Russell, you are never involved in accidents, you are the accident itself - I believed in your innocence and promise at the beginning, but how did you repay me? More Lies, more deception - you sensed the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven in advance, but you didn’t say anything and instead deceived me into the present situation!”
"Because apart from saving you, everything is too late."
"This is no reason to stand idly by!" Ekaterina sneered: "You are simply embarrassing your teacher."
"Ah, that's indeed what he said, but I also have my own reasons."
Russell sighed, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and puzzled: "It seems that I really can't wash it off?"
"Do you need to wash it?"
Ekaterina took a step forward, and the solemn nun stretched out her neck and whispered in his ear: "Do you really think I don't know what you are hiding, [Mimir of Dusk]?"
Russell was silent.
After a long time, he raised his hands helplessly: "I give up, can we stop talking about this topic?"
"Then let's talk about how you can compensate me for my losses?"
The female bishop sat on the chair that grew on the ground, with a dignified and distant posture: "How about a public apology? Admit your original frame-up and conspiracy? Then resign, and give up those things you don't deserve."
"Then, leave it to you?"
Russell laughed and spread his hands: "Look, Katya, such a burning desire for control and such a strict moral standard cannot tolerate a single unstable factor or a stain - I can tell you responsibly, even if it is you Even if you pass the selection, you won’t be able to become a clerk.”
He shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Why don't you want to admit it? You are the one who was abandoned by fate, just like me."
"Then what are you doing now?"
"I?"
Russell thought for a while and shrugged: "I just accepted my fate, and you should be like me."
"Look, Russell, you who regarded everything as child's play back then have actually started to fear your fate? It seems that aging will really increase your virtue - but isn't your destiny just to go with the flow? Why do you have to appear in front of me again now?"
"Maybe a big wave is coming?"
Russell didn't care about the other party's humiliation and replied with joy: "To tell you the truth, duckweeds like me have also caught up with the trend of fate. Do you want to know? Do you want to know why? But I won't tell you. …”
Ekaterina's expression became colder and colder.
"It is impossible to reconstruct the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven, you should understand."
"Then who said this to me?" Russell asked, "Ekaterina of the Kingdom of Heaven? Or the old godmother of the Russian Federation?"
"Both." Ekaterina said coldly: "You need to answer carefully. This not only determines the next decision of the Russian Federation, but also determines the attitude of the Divine Essence Department."
"You cannot fully represent the path of the divine essence, Katya." Russell smiled proudly, "Isaac is still helping me."
Ekaterina shook her head: "Come on, Russell, although I don't know what pie you drew to seduce my unlucky student, but do you expect him to disobey me?"
"Just having him on my side is enough."
Russell said: "Even without the support of the Russian Federation, I can reorganize the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Katya, you made a mistake - the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven can never be rebuilt with help."
"No one can help us rebuild the Kingdom of Heaven, only ourselves. Not Rome, not even Eastern Xia. Even without the support of America, I will go my own way.
You are accustomed to power and think that power can do everything. Indeed, power can do everything, but it is something beyond everything - didn't you also devote yourself to the lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven because of this value that cannot be copied? , Katya? Why can't we join hands?
You and I, the two of us join forces, and the reconstruction of the lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven will be a foregone conclusion! "
"That sounds great, Russell. No matter what happens, a man like you can say such irresponsible words to others, as if he is living in a dream forever."
Ekaterina sighed: "Promise a lifetime, promise happiness, but don't understand the weight of marriage and eternity to a woman."
"I once loved you, Katya, more than I love myself."
Russell said solemnly: "You should understand."
"This is a church, Russell. If you had said this to a chaste nun here four hundred years ago, it would have been enough for you to be burned at the stake."
The old godmother shook her head coldly: "I have already converted, Russell. Whether or not the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven is reestablished has nothing to do with me. This is not an excuse. You should understand."
Russell said no more.
He once loved the woman in front of him deeply, just as the woman in front of him once loved him so much.
Unfortunately, they are all the same people, with the same things that they love more than themselves.
Whether it is Russell's deep-seated freedom and looseness, or Ekaterina's desire for control, they are high walls that cannot be crossed between each other.
Love may be important, but it will never be the main theme of life.
It was precisely because they believed that human life could have more value that they went to the Utopia, met each other because of this, and would never compromise.
Because of this, conflicts broke out during the selection of the Destiny Secretary.
The so-called accident was just a prelude.
Both parties know very well that unless the other party withdraws, only they will fall at the door of their ideals. Even if it is the love of a lifetime, there will never be any compromise.
After the fall of the Republic, Catherine, who was deceived by Russell into the present situation, became disheartened and chose to convert, becoming a chaste nun and joining the Russian Union lineage.
This is also what she hates about Russell's inaction - the current situation is never an excuse for inaction. If he really wants to do something, the situation can be changed no matter what.
He violated his duty.
People's talents must be used to their full potential. If this approach doesn't work, then find another way.
From then on, for seventy years, she never slacked off for a day. To this day, among the believers she baptized, she has trained 191 Templar Knights and thousands of priests and nuns. Every ascendant who has received her kindness is willing to call her godmother.
Even if she is a woman, her influence is not inferior to that of the Patriarch. She is a saint directly blessed by the God of Nothingness. Even the capital of the Ural region is named after her.
The Church on Spilled Blood here is where she used to execute traitors.
Gaia of the Russian Federation, everyone called her that.
She has already achieved something, and she cannot easily leave everything behind, change her ways, and rejoin the fragmented lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven.
"You should understand that even if the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy can be reorganized, it is meaningless. You are so old, what else can you do?" Ekaterina asked: "Rebuild the Utopia? Stop dreaming."
"I originally thought you would tell me that you should do as much or as little as you can, and you should always do it."
Russell shook his head: "I have been decadent and idle for so many years, but as a teacher, you must set an example, right? Katya, even if I can't do it, there will be students who will take over the mission from my hands."
"The young man you came to bring?"
Ekaterina understood and sighed with pity: "It's a pity that I found the wrong teacher. If it can be called the Sword of Disaster, it may have greater achievements in the future, right?"
"He is the successor I personally chose, Katya, don't underestimate him."
Russell laughed happily: "He will be far better than me."
The words just fell.
A low muffled sound erupted from beneath them, far apart.
The two of them looked at each other in unison.
Ekaterina looked subtle.
Russell was a little embarrassed.
And at their feet, further away, there was a surprised cry: "The fight is about to begin!"
"...Well, young man."
Russell scratched his face and coughed twice: "It's normal to be aggressive."
Ekaterina looked at him deeply and said calmly: "I just hope that the Sword of Disaster will not chop off anyone's head in front of my godmother."
Ten minutes ago.
Underground of the Cathedral on Spilled Blood, the training ground was in full swing.
Alexey stood in the distance with Huai Shi, and softly introduced the new blood in the field to Huai Shi. Although they are said to be new blood and young people, in fact, they are all about the same age as Huai Shi, and some are even much older than him. They look almost thirty.
But no matter who is blessed by any saint, they will only be called new blood when they come here, preparing to become a Templar Knight one day.
And right in the field, those sublimates who were training also noticed the people on the sidelines.
A burly young man who had just stepped off the ring came over, wiped the sweat from his face, and respectfully nodded to the priest: "Mr. Alexei."
"You go on, don't worry about me." Alexey said warmly: "I'm just bringing guests to see."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked at this 'guest' who seemed younger than him in confusion. As if he remembered something, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and couldn't hide his fighting spirit: "Is he Huai Shi? The Huai Shi from the Astronomical Society?"
Huai Shi's heart suddenly tightened.
Be suspicious and hold back your joy.
Is this the legendary show of force?
Good guy, it’s finally my turn to write a cool story about ‘pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger’...
"Exactly." He nodded reservedly, suppressing his excitement and making a calm gesture.
The burly man was stunned for a moment. After studying Huai Shi for a moment with his sharp eyes, he suddenly took a step forward, then bowed ninety degrees and pointed the back of his head at Huai Shi.
Huai Shi retreated subconsciously, wary of the legendary Russian headbutt stunt. Then, she heard him and all the strong men behind him pleading with admiration.
"——Please guide us!"
? ? ?
Huaishi, stupid in place.
