Chapter 1040 Everything Is Calculated

——The Fifteenth Rebellion.

Whether it's the quantity in the front or the verb in the back...if you put it in any other country, it would be an earth-shattering event that would make countless people panic. And intuitively speaking, I feel that these two words should not be put together at all.

But only in Iris, it feels so appropriate.

Not only does it not feel out of place, it even sounds a little funny.

"--good.

But in response to Aiwass's words, the old man known as "Bing Xin Gong" just smiled happily and admitted calmly: "You guessed it right, Aiwass."

Not only did Aiwass's guess win his heart...even the phrase "grandfather" sounded so pleasing to his ears. This serious and cold old man, who gave people a sense of inhumanity and indifference, now seemed more kind and kind like a normal old man.

"Hey, father...?"

Anne on the side opened her eyes in disbelief: "Why... we have to do that, that kind of thing?"

Her emerald pupils are a different color from Aiwass's dark blue pupils.

As the eldest lady who had studied in Avalon, she was obviously different from other Iris people - she didn't even dare to speak the word "rebellion" outright. It might even be considered cowardice for a fleur-de-lis who dares to curse Parliament in the street.

"Today's iris flowers are almost at their limit."

The old man said bluntly: "If this continues, our country will become the laughing stock of the international community. At this point, there are not many effective methods left."

"this……"

Anne and Yassen were immediately speechless.

Sherlock laughed "ha".

His laughter was soft and low-pitched, but the room was extremely quiet except for the crackle of the fireplace, so it seemed extremely clear.

The old Duke did not look back at Sherlock, but moved his gaze from Anne to Aiwass, and his tone became calmer: "And... there is not much time, right."

"……time?"

Anne murmured and repeated.

"really."

Aiwass nodded slightly: "The troubled times are coming... The Fallen Heavenly Division will not be the last Tiansi to come, and the Transcendent Path will not be the only path to be unlocked."

"...how did you know?"

Yassen couldn't help but ask his expensive father-in-law.

"Hmph," the old man just snorted coldly, "Think about it... If only the path of transcendence could be liberated, Sand Time would have taken action against the transcendants long ago. He would not allow any of the paths to override Other paths...this is not in line with the principle of balance.

"But now the angels of Sand Timepiece are silent and don't have any reaction. I know that this will definitely not be the end.

"At least... it has to be one of the nine heavenly beings who come in turn. Let's not say whether the heavenly beings of the path of beauty and the path of love will come to the iris and make the iris look like the star antimony before. Same... Even if they fall aside, the balance between Iris and the two parties will be broken. Wouldn’t that also lead to chaos? Remember to think before you speak, Yassen!”

The old Duke scolded his son-in-law Yassen.

Obviously, he didn't expect Anne to make any correct or critical decisions, but he had considerable expectations for Yassen's talents. Because of this, the old man didn't scold Annie at all when she asked the same question, but as long as Yasen asked a question that shouldn't be asked, the old man would immediately give him a blow.

Aiwass admired it: "I didn't expect you to be able to see this without completely understanding the situation in the dream world..."

"Hmph...it's nothing."

The old man closed his eyes slightly: "When you are older, you will know that in the final analysis, things in this world are just matters between people.

"Even those gods who are aloof and immortal are just special 'human beings' in nature... Whether they are Tiansi or Zhushen, they are attracted by the essence of Yuanhe and bound by the principles of the Tao. It is actually easier to predict the intentions of these superiors who can determine the direction of history than to predict mortal emperors... because the former has a clear behavioral logic, and mortals themselves do not know what they want, their brains are always chaos.

"——What I said is correct, Your Majesty the Pope."

"Indeed."

Aiwass crossed his fingers on his knees, crossed his legs and relaxed on the sofa, assuming a rather uninhibited posture.

He did not correct the "former pope"'s question, but simply nodded slightly and said: "Your understanding of the gods is very appropriate. Pillar Gods are people with only one kind of nature, while Tiansi has many more. But they also have demands..."

“Anyone who has an appeal can be exploited.”

The old man continued slowly: "Anything that has expectations can be predicted."

"Exactly."

Aiwass nodded: "It is too difficult to predict the future. No matter how good astrologers and prophets are, the future predicted may change. If you believe in that kind of thing too much, you will harm yourself; but As long as you know the purpose of Pillar God, you will know the direction of the future."

This is just like the nobles and officials in the world.

Of course they cannot know the future, but they can know the king's personal inclinations and the interest orientation of officials in the DPRK. Knowing the directionality of these "powerful people" is equivalent to indirectly knowing the future.

"So... Father means that we need to take away the power of Iris?"

Annie frowned slightly, she still couldn't understand why this was all for: "Will Iris get better if we come to power?"

"Of course not."

The old man said calmly: "Those problems are there, no matter who comes, it will be useless."

"Then..."

"--But we can kill those things that cause problems."

The old man's words were cold: "For example, the Son of the Moon."

And Arsen immediately understood something: "I understand, so... the family will cooperate with the Hawkeye Organization!"

He was once a member of the Hawkeye Organization.

According to the Hawkeye Organization's principle of "withdrawing from the organization without permission is considered betrayal", he should have been executed by the "discipline enforcer" in the Hawkeye Organization - that is an assassin killer with specialized hunting, one-on-one, and anti-stealth capabilities, an assassin who specializes in executing assassins. Even the fourth energy level can surpass the level of single-killing the fifth energy level, and it is also an important component of the cohesion of the Hawkeye Organization.

Only when people realize that the "rules" can be guaranteed to be enforced, will they believe in and abide by the "rules".

It was because of the relationship that the Duke of Vendome had that he was able to continue to live.

Now it is probably because of the Duke of Vendome's permission... that he can get the "Blade of Separation of All Things"!

Thinking of this, Yasen looked at Sherlock who was drinking tea slowly.

He suddenly understood why Sherlock was not afraid.

—— As early as when Sherlock sent the letter, the old duke had already understood everything. The old man's intelligence was far beyond his own expectations, so that the code that Yasen thought the old man might not know or understand was probably deciphered before it was sent out.

I think it should be so... Even if the Duke of Vendome himself couldn't understand it, there were other capable people in the Duke's Mansion. They couldn't crack the secret of the third treason, but it didn't mean that they couldn't understand the code in a letter.

However, because Sherlock saved face for the old man and didn't choose to tear his face and ask for help directly... So the old duke also chose to give Sherlock a face and decided to let him go. So after that, he could get the dagger he had wanted for a long time - it was because the old duke felt that "the time had come" and finally gave it to him!

Thinking of this, a bit of fear appeared in Yasen's eyes.

He now realized why he got the dagger so smoothly, and no one even came to chase him when he entered the dream... It was because of the old duke's permission.

The old duke wanted to release Sherlock, but since Sherlock's letter had been sent out, if he released him directly, it would be as if he was afraid of Sherlock; he needed a step, so it was appropriate to let Yasen go to the dream world to find Sherlock.

On the other hand, he did not stop Yasen from going deep into the dangerous dream world, which was also a punishment for his "betrayal of the family" and "acting arbitrarily"!

He tried to release the important prisoners held by the family, which was undoubtedly a betrayal of the family; and when he was about to enter the dream world, he had not investigated how to enter the dream world from other people's dreams, nor did he know the specific information of the dream world. This was arrogant and ignorant, and acted frivolously.

Everything was calculated by the old man!
