Endless Debt

Nathaniel took deep breaths repeatedly. He had guessed at Albert's plan, but no matter what, he never expected that Albert was actually doing these things.

He pulled a chosen one in. Nathaniel believed that Albert must have known this when he imprisoned Boluogo, and he did not tell anyone about this information.

Looking at Boluogo, he had no exact knowledge of the identity of the chosen one, and such a chosen one had been locked in a dark prison by them for sixty-six years.

Nathaniel noticed that Albert did this on purpose. It was time to see him again to verify his ideas, but before that...

"Bologo, please first tell us about the beginning of the Wrath of the Scorched Earth and the end of the Fall of the Holy City as far as you know."

Nathaniel asked Borogo, "Why do you think all this started?"

"The rise and expansion of the Kogadel Empire triggered a conflict with the Rhine Alliance, which evolved into a war sweeping the continent."

As the craziest war in modern times and even in the entire human history, the cause of the Scorched Earth Wrath is common knowledge that everyone is familiar with. Bologo did not understand the purpose of Nathaniel asking these questions.

"As for the fall of the Holy City..."

When it came to the fall of the Holy City, Boluogo also seemed hesitant. For him, the fall of the Holy City was a real mystery.

The Chogardian Empire, along with the Rhine League, destroyed King Solomon's sacred city, turning it into burning ruins.

In previous exchanges with TEDA, Bologo had speculated that King Solomon touched the rank of the Crowned One, which triggered a crusade between the two sides. In subsequent events, Bologo saw the Holy One in the Abandoned Land. The ruins of the city...

“Was King Solomon destroyed because he touched the Crowned One?”

Boluogo put forward his own guess, maybe Nethaniel can give the answer.

Nathaniel smiled meaningfully, "The crowned one? Interesting guess."

Borlog asked, "What does all this have to do with the Chosen One?"

"Well, don't worry, let me tell you about the true origin of the war. You may understand a lot."

Nathaniel poured a glass of wine for Borogo, filled a glass for himself, and clinked the glasses gently with Borogo.

"This is good stuff."

He raised his eyebrows at Boluogo. A large part of the field department's funds was used by Nathaniel to enjoy life. Apart from Bailey, he was the one who deserved strict investigation.

"Brogo, do you think the devils are united?"

Facing Nethanil's question, Bologo thought for a while. He thought of the tyrant, the scarlet matron, the astronaut...

"No... they are not united."

Boluogo analyzed rationally, "There is no need to deify the devils. In the final analysis, they are just a group of greedy businessmen, longing for our souls, but the soul is limited, and greed is infinite."

"They are like a group of competing businessmen, trying their best to plunder the wealth of souls in the market of this world."

"Yes, that's it!"

Nathaniel drank all the wine in the cup, "Although the devils are called brothers and sisters, they are not united. In the incalculable history, they regarded each other as enemies, and they attacked and killed each other constantly."

Bologger listened quietly.

"They are both devils, omnipotent. No matter how fierce the conflict is, they can't do anything to each other, so the devils have made an agreement with each other. When there is a dispute between the devils, they will downgrade their power to find Agent, fight for them.

The world is like a huge gambling table. They are the gamblers, and the agent is the pawn on the gambling table, carrying the devil's chips. If the agent loses, it also means that the devil behind him loses. "

Boluogo's heart was touched by Nathaniel's words, and he vaguely sensed something. The truth of a certain mystery was revealing its true side to him.

"There can be many agents, such as debtors. They are all chess pieces who bear the debt of the devil and act on their behalf. But the chess pieces are also divided into high and low. They do not have the devil's bargaining chip. Even if they die, it does not matter.

But the chosen one is different. The chosen one carries chips on his back, just like the king on the chessboard. If the chosen one falls, it also means that the devil has fallen.

You...are the chosen one by the devil, carrying his bargaining chip and becoming his king. "

Nathaniel stretched out his hand and pointed at Boluogo himself, "How are you feeling now?"

Boluogo froze on the spot, his mind going blank.

Boluogo, who has the axis of time tracing, naturally knows that he is of great significance in the eyes of the devil, but he did not expect that there is this level of significance.

As for what the astronaut told himself back then, about how he lost when he lost.

In fact, Boluogo didn't pay much attention to it. He completely regarded it as the devil's rhetoric. He had heard enough of this kind of talk from tyrants alone.

Rarely, this time the devil wasn't kidding.

Nathaniel showed a cruel smile, "The good news is that we know why you are so connected to the devil. The bad news is, Bolog, you seem to be involved in the disputes between the devils."

Boluogo ignored Nathaniel's teasing. Instead, he paid attention to another thing.

"In other words, the Wrath of the Scorched Earth seems to be a war sweeping across the nations, but in fact it is just another... dispute between demons."

"Yes, that's it. The chosen ones fight each other, and ultimately end with the destruction of the Holy City."

Nathaniel confirmed Borogo's guess, and this was what he was going to tell Borogo.

The bone-chilling cold came, and Bologg felt a headache. The information Nathaniel told was not much, but it made Bologg feel deeply pressured.

Now Borogo is getting closer and closer to the mystery of history.

Boluogo murmured to himself, "Whether it is the wrath of the scorched earth or the fall of the Holy City, they are just reflections of the disputes between the devils in reality..."

Just as Jeffrey had talked to himself when he joined the job, the devils were influencing the course of history and manipulating the world behind the scenes. Now Boluogo has truly faced that dark conspiracy and has never felt better about it. Feeling powerless.

"So what about the fall of the Holy City? What role did King Solomon's destruction play in this dispute?"

Boluogo asked further, looking at Nathaniel excitedly.

As his understanding of the world deepened and the mysteries of the past gradually became clearer, Boluogo discovered that he seemed to be inextricably linked to the fall of the Holy City and King Solomon.

"The information known so far is that the disputes between the devils triggered the wrath of the Scorched Earth. Their chosen ones represent several forces and are constantly attacking each other, and King Solomon is one of the chosen ones."

Boluogo said in shock, "King Solomon? The Chosen One?"

"Yes, there was also a devil standing behind King Solomon."

"Then the destruction of the sacred city..."

"Several selected people have reached an agreement and are ready to join forces to kick out this competitor first."

Boluogo was silent for a moment, "What exactly did King Solomon do? Will the other chosen ones temporarily put aside their conflicts and choose to destroy him first?"

Compared with the Rhine League and the Kogadel Empire, King Solomon's power seems so weak, and he is the least competitive among the many chosen ones.

Then King Solomon must have shown sufficient threat in other aspects, such as...the crowned one.

"I don't know," Nathaniel said lightly. "In fact, until now, we haven't figured out much about the specific circumstances of the fall of the Holy City."

"Because everyone involved died? There was a light, a light that destroyed all life, along with King Solomon," Borogo said.

A little surprise flashed in Nathaniel's eyes, and he smiled, "You know more than I expected."

"I've been looking into this."

"Almost, all the participants in the Fall of the Holy City are dead, including King Solomon. For this reason, that period of history has been lost. I am afraid that only the dead know the full truth."

Borogo continued, "But we definitely know something, right? We won the Secret War and occupied Oath City Opos, and the ruins of its predecessor, the Holy City, are buried beneath the Great Rift. In the Abandoned Land.”

There seemed to be thunder in his mind, and Bologo suddenly woke up and looked directly at Nathaniel.

"So that's it...that's why the devils gathered in Oath City Opos. Even after the fall of the Holy City, there are still countless disputes surrounding this city."

Nathaniel still kept smiling and said little.

"King Solomon did something, something that was enough to threaten all the chosen ones, and even the devils. They wanted to completely eradicate this threat, but they didn't expect King Solomon to use that light to destroy everyone.

King Solomon and the participants are all dead, but the thing has not been destroyed. It is buried somewhere in this land and is constantly emitting threats. As long as it is not destroyed, the dispute will never end. "

This is a long war, and the desires of the devils are far from being satisfied. Only by deciding the real winner can the world gain short-term peace.

Then the next dispute begins.

"It's almost as good as our guess."

Nathaniel looked at Borogo with admiration, "The worst part is, we don't know exactly what King Solomon did. We only know that an unknown threat exists."

Knowing the existence of something, but only knowing its existence, and knowing nothing about other information.

"Everyone is dead..."

Burlogo murmured, "No... not everyone is dead."

In the light that burned everything, there was still one person who survived, even if he forgot the experience.

Boluogo felt a heavy stone pressing on his chest, and he asked tentatively.

"That unknown thing, could it be me?"
