"Who helped her break through the intermediate barrier last night?" Anthony asked.
Rossi took a long drag on his cigarette and replied: "Not David Duran."
"Is this good news?" Anthony said, "I guess so."
"From the perspective of not letting others have their own misfortune, this is indeed good news," he said. "At least I wasn't the only one who couldn't get everything he wanted last night."
Rossi remained silent, and the only thought in his heart now was that "the agency is too clever".
"Ah, this seems to be really good news." Anthony took a puff of cigarette and immediately changed his words, "Our goddess can always surprise us. I seem to have found an opportunity to break through the hypnosis system for her."
"What is it, my lord?" Rossi asked.
"I originally planned to let her break through the hypnosis system and the growth system at the same time, but let's do it one by one. Difficult bones like Li Shen should be left to people with more courage." Anthony replied, and then he was silent for a while, and suddenly asked : "Rosie, do you know what love is?"
"It should be some kind of dream-like self-hypnosis -" Rossi thought for a moment and replied.
But Anthony interrupted him: "No, I don't mean women's love. I understand Gu Hanhan's superficial and naive view of love very well. I mean men's love - do you know why, Rosie, like David -Why would a man like Dulan think that he is in love with Gu Hanhan, and think so hard about it, taking huge risks?"
"That's not very clear..." When he said this, Rossi felt empty in his heart.
"I really want to know what the so-called pure love will be like in the end." Anthony smiled, "It seems I have to change another reference book."
Rossi thought: David Duran would fall in love with the goddess, and meet an opponent like Lord Critikus. It would be really unlucky.
They finished the whole cigarette, and then Rosie said goodbye: "I'll take Rowling home first and meet De Feiling."
Anthony nodded slightly: "Xiao should come to the door soon. I don't have to worry about Lin Xiao standing in front of me. You can deal with him for the time being and don't teach him to see the flaws. Marrying with the Defelin family is a good way. Well, If the wedding date is set later, it shouldn’t matter after a year.”
"Yes." Rossi lowered his head slightly and said thanks, "My little sister is so ignorant, it's really scary."
"Ah, no need to be polite," said Anthony, "I wish to treat you as myself."
After Rosie left, before the servants came in, the room was extremely quiet for a brief moment. The setting sun from the lighthouse star shone in through the window, and dim orange light spread all over the floor. Dust particles floated in the stagnant air, and the dusk was heavy. , the coolness came and entangled with the heat in the room, making people drowsy. Anthony felt lonely for a moment, so cold and somber that he almost had the urge to abandon the world.
Anthony closed his eyes. After a while, Sasha quietly pushed the door open and came in, kneeling down by the floor-to-ceiling window from a distance.
"Do you know what a woman's love is?" An Dongran, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly let out a sigh, and then he asked himself and answered: "A woman's love is when you think you have prepared everything, but she can always do it. Give you a blow in the head at the last moment, leaving you speechless. All your infallibility, all your logic, calculations, and everything you use to conquer the universe are no match for her whim."
Anthony said quietly: "I once thought that women's love was pure and simple. It was an illogical, emotional, and irrational existence that would only bring disaster and trouble to the universe. They are naive and stupid, whether it is their love or themselves who are obsessed with love. But now it seems that it is men who are naive and stupid. In fact, you can deceive them only if they are willing to be deceived by you. This universe There is nothing more profound, complex, and difficult to defeat than a woman's love. Compared with it, the ultimate energy rules are nothing more than elementary school students' calculations. Because they are emotional, illogical, and non-rational, there is no way to use any Use reason and logic to defeat her, you will never be able to fool her.”
The cold wind blew in from the window behind Sasha and poured into his neck, blowing off the cold sweat all over his body. It was so cold that he just wanted to shiver.
Sasha tried hard to tell herself that Anthony didn't say anything, and he didn't hear anything, and then she suppressed her trembling voice and reported: "My lord, David Duran broke off his engagement with the Heidi family last night."
Anthony's voice paused, his deep gaze focused closer, staring at the exquisitely crafted vase on the shelf, and a mocking smile pulled out of the corner of his mouth. After a while, he spoke again, but he went completely off topic——
"I remember that the first time I saw Kagora was on the front line of the battle with Posis. The war was raging and death was everywhere. I was fifteen years old that year, or maybe I was already sixteen years old. I was in Ogra The space fleet is a space warrior. Kagula is forty-eight years old and was recently elected as the emperor of Ogra with a high vote."
"At that time, I had not broken through the high-level barriers. I had just accumulated a little bit of strength, and it was time to prepare to join the world. But even so, everyone around me started to make irresponsible remarks and do things in front of me. All kinds of calculations. There is an endless stream of messengers of all kinds, and all relatives, from distant relatives with little blood connection to close relatives' parents, have become lobbyists, using their mouths to speak for others. These buzzing The rattling sound not only makes people confused, but also makes people feel bored and angry, and they want to destroy the whole world."
"One day, I finally couldn't help but burst out, lost my temper, and left everyone behind. But I still didn't know how to choose, my country, my future. So I was alone Wandering aimlessly in the universe, I was about to go back to the planet where I grew up as a child, but I ended up running into a fight between Ogra and Posis."
"Persis's fleet broke through the border, penetrated deep into the hinterland of Ogra, and surrounded the retreating Ogra fleet into the Betica star field. They didn't even wait for the civilians to be evacuated before they started attacking. There was no strong support from the Ogra fleet. , there were no reinforcements inside, but they still fought hard. They urgently recruited combat resources within the entire Betica star field, so the sergeant major at the temporary recruitment point threw me a military uniform and was forcibly recruited into the space force. Team. At that time, I thought, since I met and entered, let me fight for Ogra. After all, I was born as an Ogra, and I lived in the Betica star field until I was at least nine years old. There is no reason to run to join Persis instead.
"The fighting years are always beautiful. Looking back now, the two months fighting in Betica should be the happiest time for me. There was no pressure to break through the super power, and I didn't have to think too much about the energy level. The most important thing is No one is hanging around you like flies and hyenas. You are surrounded by teammates who have to eat together, sleep together, and go to the battlefield together. When you go to the battlefield, you have to leave your back to them. Some of them died, Some people survived. Oh, I was the Xiao I knew at that time. He was an unlucky guy at that time. There was nothing to see except his face. I had to save him again and again, and then I had to be beaten by him. Eat the supplies until you're hungry. It's pretty silly now that I think about it... All in all, everything was perfect, even though we did lose the Betica War in the end."
"I retreated all the way with a fleet that broke out, and finally met with the reinforcements sent by the capital. Two months after the war broke out, Kagula finally convinced the great nobles in the country and personally led his troops to the battlefield. Yes, he is a good man, always has been."
"After ten minutes of talking with Kagula by the starship transfer hatch, I decided to return to Ogra and choose it as my country. Although choosing a historically powerful country like Ogra is far less important than choosing those weak countries. I am in a better position, obviously throwing myself into the whirlpool of Machiavellian struggles, and my authority is bound to be more constrained and challenged by those in secular power, but I have decided that this is it!”
"——Although later at the celebration banquet for repelling the Posis invaders, Kagula confessed to me privately that the reason why the Ogra fleet retreated all the way to Betica and was surrounded there was because Including the chance encounter and conversation between me and him, apart from the coincidence, it was indeed his intention, but I don’t feel any regrets. Since we have fought side by side and won our common victory, why bother again? Do you mind why we got together in the first place? Or maybe the relationship between men is like this. This universe is already full of machinations and calculations, so why bother using machinations and calculations as machinations to plot against like-minded friends? Since Kagula uses The future and destiny of the entire country are staked on me, so I should be a 'great emperor' in return."
"I decided to choose Ogra, but things are not that simple. I have to clear out the opponents within the family first. This is a hurdle that almost every potential candidate cannot escape before entering the world. Surrounding the choice of joining the world, there is an undercurrent within the family. The turbulence will eventually set off a huge wave of opposition. The weak potentials who have not yet finally broken through will accidentally become the puppets of the strong vassals - I hadn't met Samantha at that time, and everything was up to me. Come. At that time, I was nauseated by the smell of blood on my hands for a while, and I felt that I would never do it again. But later, I could use whatever excuse I wanted to rectify and clean up my family and vassals. again and again."
"When Kagula died, I was really sad. We had just annexed Posis, the situation was still in chaos, and everything was waiting to be done. Everything had just begun. How could he die? Because of this sadness , I was always dissatisfied with the succeeding Emperor Ogra. During that time, I really killed a lot of emperors. Every time I killed an emperor, I could easily reorganize the family, eliminate some people, and accept some. Approximately Kill the four emperors. Posis and Ogra have completely integrated into one and become a stronger country. I think I should not be sad anymore, and Kagula should be able to rest in peace underground..."
"It seems that David Duran is doing what I did back then. Marriage and love have always been useful tools. I also used my engagement with Jennifer. But David Duran uses it more easily. I was much more proficient when I was young, or perhaps because he was born in a family of thousands of generations, he received more influence than me..."
