Chapter 2720 Transformation
I was shocked by Master Dewey's analysis.
What also worries me is that, if his analysis holds true, Carter Horton isn't just crazy—he's a complete lunatic!
The purpose of stimulating the source of disaster is no longer to blame, but to control it. He wants to master the disaster through experiments.
Once he succeeds, Zefeng Continent will truly fall into a state of catastrophe.
I was anxious and asked: "You are an expert. What do you think is the success rate of this kind of experiment?"
"I don't know," Master Dewey said, "I have never done any similar experiments."
Master Dewey's answer was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
what to do?
Want to stop it?
I was thinking wildly in silence.
Will blocking really be effective?
No, it's difficult. The Airui City army did not attack other countries, nor did it invade any territory. It was simply attacking the disaster. Even if it was stopped, they had a reason - 'This is an action that is beneficial to Zephyr Continent. Our purpose It is to eliminate disasters! ’ “Why stop it? Is it wrong to eliminate disasters?”
Even I can come up with a lot of excuses in a very short time.
It is impossible to stop it. The only one we can rely on is Dashai City.
Just like last time, no matter whether the old Duke trusts me or not, I will still say what needs to be said - it is his loss whether he listens or not, and it is my attitude whether he speaks or not.
After hanging up the call, I immediately contacted the old Duke and told him about the military attack on the source of the disaster in Airui City.
The old Duke's tone was calm and a little careless: "Just impact, is there anything else?"
Seeing that he was indifferent and a little impatient, I stopped talking and hung up the call.
This time, I began to hesitate. If disaster strikes again, should I come to the rescue?
Cagalli may be sad, but the reason for her sadness is not me, but the innocent people and acquaintances of the nobles. She is sad that they will die in the impact of the disaster.
But my ability is limited to this. At most, I can rescue her father, queen, mother, brothers, sisters and others, as well as my men. The rest can only seek their own blessings.
Thinking of this, I made up my mind. This time, I would rather cry and grieve with Cagalli than help the old Duke.
This old man is ruthless and untouchable.
After returning to the house, Cagalli came up to me and asked me who I had just called. I didn't hide it from her and told her everything I could. Cagalli became even more worried. I comforted her: "Don't worry, if anything happens, you will be there." I will bring my father, queen, mother, one brother and two sisters."
"Can't you save my people?" Cagalli begged, "They are also innocent."
"I know, but forgive me, I can't." This time, I simply refused: "If the disaster was caused by myself, I would save it regardless of circumstances and reasons, but the disaster was caused by someone seeking death, I It’s really impossible to save him.”
Slowly lowering my head, I said softly: "I am not a savior. I can't save too many people. The Destroyer Legion is used to protect my family, not to take the blame. In the last battle, I have lost hundreds of Destroyers. If If we lose hundreds more by taking the blame, the expellers will no longer be able to act as a deterrent to the country and the organization.”
I raised my head and apologized: "I'm sorry, but can you understand how I feel?"
Cagalli looked at me in surprise. After a long time, she nodded slowly. This time, she was no longer persistent.
The days were as usual, the only difference was that I started to pay attention to the developments in Airui City.
Information was sent one after another, and I had a detailed understanding of the operations in Airui City. At the same time, Boss Ren also contacted the hidden lines buried in Airui City and Dashai City.
Through hidden clues, I learned that although this order was given by Carter Horton, the initiator of the idea was not Carter Horton, but someone else.
Not only that, there is another more important clue: Carter Horton absolutely implemented this suggestion.
This is very intriguing.
Given Carter Horton's personality, whose advice would he listen to and follow?
The concubine is definitely not the one, and the prime minister is definitely not the one. His two sons may listen to his words, but they will not fully implement them. Take the decree to expel foreigners, Carter Scott’s original intention was Killing them all, although the impact is not good, can establish absolute prestige.
Carter Horton's attitude was that Achilles would kill some of the rebels, and the rest of the foreigners would adopt a strategy of expulsion.
What was ultimately implemented was also the expulsion strategy.
A similar thing happened to Carter Nelson, but again it was not always enforced.
In other words, except for himself, anyone else's opinions will only be implemented.
But this time, he absolutely executed it
Just when I was puzzled, another secret letter made the mystery even more confusing - Carter Horton actually released a group of foreign prisoners in prison for the first time!
This news was like a depth charge, instantly setting off huge waves in the seemingly stagnant mainland media.
It can be said that this group of prisoners is the first group of prisoners released since Carter Horton took over.
Carter Horton has never regarded prisoners as real human beings. They are just labor, labor tools that can be used for free and can create value. They do not need to be paid, as long as they are fed three meals a day.
However, this time, he changed so much, which really surprised me.
Carter Horton, what the hell happened to him?
There are various inexplicable signs that something is wrong with Carter Horton. Has his mind been controlled by someone and turned into a puppet that can only give orders?
When I asked the Fairy Queen if there was any similar magic, the Fairy Queen shook her head and said: "There is hypnotic magic, but it lasts very short. After being hypnotized, I am still conscious, but I am not sober."
According to the Fairy Queen's words, Carter Horton is unlikely to be hypnotized. After all, he will change any political order at any time if it does not conform to his wishes.
Since he was not hypnotized, it would be strange. Did Carter Horton really change his personality, from retribution to being tolerant?
This is completely impossible!
Otherwise, how could it be regarded as the truth and be passed down through the ages if "the state of affairs is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change"?
But Carter Horton's actions are clear to his eyes and beyond doubt!
Ever since, I began to consider whether to have a phone call with Carter Horton or have a face-to-face conversation with him.
The idea was rejected by Rennes boss before it took shape.
"Even if Carter Horton has the possibility of changing his mind, he is still a poisonous snake good at disguise. Once he gets close, he is likely to be injured or even fatal."
