Chapter 583 The Evil of Human Nature (Part 1)

It was already noon when Shi Dong woke up.

Although the sky was still dark.

In this city without light, it seemed that there was no difference between day and night. Time had frozen here, and the city fell into eternal sleep, with only shadows walking on the streets.

Westminster Abbey was also empty.

In the past, it was crowded with people, with countless carriages and people coming and going.

Now even sparrows are unwilling to come.

Only dead leaves fell from the dry branches and scattered on the ground, and no one picked them up.

"Don't you have even a handyman here?"

"They have all been evacuated."

Mephisto said: "The Royal Academy, the Royal Academy of Music, Amber Heavy Industry...the reserve people in important institutions are on the first list of secret evacuations. They were secretly transferred to Birmingham long before the war began.

All those young priests were sent away by me, and only some old men like me were left."

Speaking of this, He sighed, "Someone has to stay and lead those who don't want to leave or can't leave for evening prayer, right?

I inherited this church from the previous bishop and vowed to protect it for life. Now it seems that it is difficult to fulfill this promise."

"That's normal."

Shi Dong yawned: "When the opponent is a natural disaster, the war always loses more than it wins. It doesn't matter if the church is destroyed. If it can't be defeated, let the next generation build a new one.

My father is a stonemason. When I was very young, he taught me one thing-the old house will collapse, and you can't just think about repairing it."

Mephisto was silent for a long time, and said bluntly:

"You There is something wrong with my father's education."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Shi Dong shrugged, shivered, pulled up his pants, and looked back at him: "Have you finished peeing?"

"It will take a while."

Mephisto said, "Don't look at me, I get nervous easily."

"Aren't you blind? How do you know I'm looking at you?"

"I know someone is looking at me, it has nothing to do with whether I'm blind or not!"

"It would be great if you could have replaced your prostate with an artificial one like me."

"Aging is also one of the pleasures of life." Mephisto curled his lips: "People like you who like to replace parts won't understand."

"...Let's stop talking about the old man's nonsense here."

Shi Dong sighed, Leaning against the toilet wall: "Don't take advantage of your age in front of me, little Mephistopheles. I raised you by myself."

Mephistopheles scratched his hair, and a carefree air suddenly emerged from his old and frail appearance. He took out a pack of cigarettes from the inner pocket of his robe:

"Smoke?"

"I dare not, it will damage the artificial lung."

Shi Dong shook his head: "But you actually smoke? This is not like the saintly look you always put on."

"Come on, Mr. Shi Dong, only the dead are saints."

Mephistopheles lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled, relaxed, and squeezed out two more drops: "I am so old, I don't molest little boys, don't embezzle public funds, don't keep a lover, abide by the church law, and have been a virgin all my life... Life is pure and healthy to the point of being abnormal. For someone like me, if I indulge myself occasionally, God will forgive me. "

"...Who did you learn the religious law from?"

"Mr. Kada."

"No wonder." Shi Dong shook his head: "He died two years ago."

"He was over a hundred years old, very normal, how did he die?"

"He was beaten to death by his queen, in bed."

"..."

"So, don't talk about the religious law you learned from a pervert."

Shi Dong glanced at him, "We don't have many common topics anymore, let's talk about something we are both interested in, such as natural disasters, such as wars..."

"What do you want to know?"

"Leviathan."

Shi Dong said: "Of the three seals that were set up, which one has it reached? "

Mephisto smoked a cigarette and remained silent.

In order to seal Leviathan, the emperors of Anglo-Saxon dynasties had set three seals for its three stages. The breaking of each seal means that Leviathan has entered a stronger level.

The revival of Leviathan's consciousness means that the first seal has been disintegrated.

Leviathan's body began to revive, which means that the second seal has been opened.

And when the third seal is broken, Leviathan, a natural disaster with both body and spirit, and one of the 'four living creatures', the top monsters of the aliens, will come completely.

After a long time, Mephisto said in a muffled voice:

"As far as I know, the second seal has been unlocked."

Shi Dong was silent for a long time, "I thought you were holding back your energy by not talking for a long time, and I wanted to cheer you up just now."

"Shut up, don't interrupt."

Mephisto paused and his voice became lower: "I'm still brewing, it's almost done. "

"Let's not do that. It's so embarrassing to piss yourself when you mention natural disasters."

"..."

Mephisto stopped talking.

For a long time, the sound of dripping water was heard for a while, and then disappeared.

Mephisto breathed a sigh of relief, fastened his belt, and finally got rid of the fatal embarrassment.

Aging is really terrible.

-

In the empty courtyard, two people sat on a bench and talked about what had happened in the past few days.

Shi Dong pondered for a long time and scratched his bald head.

"How long are you going to keep it a secret?"

He said: "We have to let those people know when they die, right?"

"After all, it is a shameful thing." Mephistopheles also frowned. Halfway through, he lowered his voice and said, "Can you help me see if there is anyone around?"

"no one."

Shi Dong's face was expressionless: "Don't worry about smoking."

"I'm sorry, I finally managed to get rid of this pot before Avalon was destroyed. I became a little lax after leaving office." Mephisto lit another one: "I'm under a lot of pressure. I'm old and my heart can't bear it. , let’s leave it to the young people.”

"Is that why you handed Westminster over to our Grand Inquisitor?"

"Yes, otherwise." Mephistopheles asked, "This is called accepting orders in times of crisis, a type of political wisdom... By the way, where did we just talk?"

Stone looked at him and said, "Shame on you."

"Yes, it's embarrassing."

Mephistopheles didn't seem to hear Stone's curse, and looked indifferent: "After all, it is a shame for the royal family."

"Anglo and Leviathan are old enemies, but hasn't the royal family ever explained it? There are so many countries on the sea, but why has Leviathan focused on only one country, Anglo, to cause trouble for so many years..."

"Explain? How to explain?"

Mephistopheles: "You can't say that this is all the sins of the ancestors, right? You see, in order to explain how wise King Arthur is, they even invented a fairy in the lake."

"Who's paying attention to this? It stinks so much... Look at the script written by that third-rate writer."

Stone couldn't help but want to spit, "The wise and mighty King Arthur was loved by the fairy in the lake. The fairy gave him a sword, a kiss and a blessing, and he became the destined king.

Conquered the seven seas, made Avalon the capital, and built a heaven on earth. Using this as a betrothal, he married the fairy in the lake and became his queen, allowing her to give birth to his dragon-blood descendant.

God knows where the dragon blood came from. Before Arthur met the Lake Fairy, he was just a fisherman... From the beginning to the end, you have refused to admit that the so-called royal family is the real evil son of the sea.

The so-called Fairy of the Lake, the so-called Queen—is Leviathan who was killed by King Arthur! "

"I can't admit it."

Mephistopheles shook his head: "How could you admit it?"

In silence, Stone leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and hummed the hallucinatory song:

"The king and his accomplices kidnapped the queen and imprisoned her in a dream... Now that we have the power, where should we wander? Hooray, thousands of hands, hoist the sail high!

Alas, thieves and beggars, we shall have eternal life..."

"Stop singing, I'm so scared."

Mephistopheles dropped the cigarette on the ground and crushed it.

"It's ridiculous, Mephistopheles, that a natural disaster would fall in love with a human."

Stone said lightly: "She loves Arthur so much, loves a human being, and does not hesitate to give him her own power, and does not hesitate to fulfill any of his wishes... She uses the power of natural disasters to pay for Arthur's ambitions."

Mephistopheles shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, this interest is too high for Arthur's descendants."

"People have to pay their debts after all, Mephistopheles, Angel should have gone bankrupt long ago."

Stone said coldly, "It's like what I said - the old house is going to collapse, so you can't just think about repairing it. Now I have a little understanding of why Maxwell is rebellious.

Such a kingdom is built on a false foundation from the beginning. "

"In fact, he was always the guy fixing the house."

Mephistopheles smiled bitterly: "Without him, I am afraid that the weakened royal family would not be able to survive now, even though it is still suffering from internal and external troubles."

"I've been wondering, is he the incarnation of some old ghost?"

"Probably not. If you have such ability, why bother hiding behind the scenes? Besides, choosing such a person as your chess piece is not that it is difficult to control, but it is too dangerous."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"You can almost say, you know nothing."

Mephistopheles shrugged, "He is a person who suddenly appeared in this city, with no roots, no father and no mother, just like jumping out of the stone split by the sword in the stone.

In the beginning, when he first appeared, he was the personal secretary of the previous emperor. Later, he succeeded him as the dean of the Royal Academy of Music. Then, his power began to expand rapidly and out of control.

On many occasions, he acted without any scruples, and was so arrogant that no emperor would tolerate it. However, he was still deeply trusted, and even appointed him to be in charge of the Sword in the Stone, entrusting many powers in the country to his hands, and even let him He formed the monstrous spy agency known as Section 5.

His own ability can only be said to be vast. He knows everything about what happens in this city. For decades, all of Avalon was a toy spinning in his hands..."

"Royal blood?" Shi Dong asked.

"Impossible, there is no record, and no one can match him in these years. If he has royal blood, how can someone else get the chair?"

Mephistopheles sighed, "It's a pity that he is not the emperor."

"yes."

Shi Dong smiled and gloated, "Fortunately, he is not the emperor."

Mephistopheles was silent for a long time, and his expression became alert:

"What are you planning again?"
