Plural Apostles

"Before you ask me, you have to talk about your own problems first." Siegfried flipped the barbecue and sprinkled some salt, "You guys who have lived longer than I don't know how long, why are you so different? You have all the problems? Sakura can't let go of killing the people in the same village, even if she was induced by Feiyuwan, Fu Hua is suffering from the things she has forgotten, what are you now... entangled and unable to make a decision?"

Karen frowned and stared at the grill, her eyes were lost for a moment, and then she pursed her lips slightly: "I feel very confused... I don't know where to start, and I don't even know my own problem."

"Mess? Then start from the beginning to sort it out, then it won't be a mess...here." Siegfried put a piece of barbecue into Kallen's bowl, "Eat while talking, you were poking the rice bowl for the dinner just now. "

"Oh..." Karen nodded subconsciously, but in her current mood, no matter what she ate, she felt as tasteless as chewing wax. As for why she came to find Siegfried...

Because she felt that the other party could answer her own confusion and questions, although Ji Zi seemed to be able to solve her own doubts, Karen felt that she was not familiar with the other party, and Ji Zi might be prejudiced in some places.

People here have different attitudes towards Otto, and Jizi should be more inclined to oppose it.

Teresa and Kiyana will not talk about it, and I guess they won’t be able to ask anything. Sakura’s words, although I feel that Sakura doesn’t have any special views on Otto and is very indifferent, but Sakura will only support herself. resolve without suggesting...

Fu Hua, Karen thinks that Immortal is in a mess now, so don't bother her.

After counting and counting, Kallen finally thought of Siegfried.

"Where did you start talking about all this?" Karen munched on the barbecue, lost in thought, "If I want to say it, it should start from 500 years ago..."

"Oh." Siegfried sprinkled salt on the barbecue.

"At that time, Destiny was still in Europe and existed in the form of a church. According to the current view, it was a theocratic society... Destiny had only two families at that time, one was Apocalypse, the other was Kaslana, and Destiny The meaning of existence is to fight against the 'god' that has existed since ancient times—Honkai."

"The Kaslana family has a weapon called the Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire. Now, that thing should be called the Seventh God's Key." Kallen chewed the barbecue and said slowly, "Father is very happy." Strong, but he still died early, at the cost of his life to liberate the power of the Heavenly Fire Sect, defeated the enemy, protected the people, he himself turned into coke, and when he was buried, I couldn't even see his appearance .”

"My father told me since I was a child——Karen, Kaslana is the shield of the people, and members of the Kaslana family must protect everything, even if it is reduced to ashes."

"The responsibilities and obligations of the Kaslana family are things that my father often talked about, and he also carried out this mission until the end of his life." Karen ate a little bit of barbecue, and Siegfried kept giving him caring thoughts. She added, "Although this kind of mission belongs to the family, I never regret taking over my father's responsibilities to protect the people and defeat Honkai."

"Before my father died, I met Otto. He was the second son of the Bishop of Apocalypse. He was thin and often alone, but he was a very smart man who knew a lot and could do some things that I saw at the time. Here's something interesting."

"My childhood was quite carefree. I was born in a family and had no worries about food and clothing. I just needed to study... and after my father died in battle, my childhood was over." Karen said softly with nostalgia, " Inheriting my father's behest and carrying on the family's mission and glory, I hated my past play at that time, if I was stronger, would I be able to help my father?"

"Of course that kind of thinking is just a kind of regret... How strong can a ten-year-old girl be? How can she help her father? After that day, I used all my time to train myself, and I had a goal— —to be like my father, to fight for the people, to be a true Kaslana man, to be the shield of the people."

"Exercising, working hard, I spent all my time on becoming stronger. At that time, Otto also came to see me a few times and persuaded me a few times, but a guy with an inflexible mind like me only knows how to keep his feet on the ground. The earth became stronger... Later, I went to the battlefield for the first time, defeated the dead soldiers and the Houkai beast for the first time, and protected the people under the minions of the Houkai. I carried out my father's will, and at the same time I carried out my own will... ...Before I knew it, several years passed, and I became the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and the captain of the Destiny vs. Honkai Knights."

"During that time... all I could think of was training, fighting, training, fighting. I grew up, and Otto grew up. On the battlefield, I also heard about Otto. I invented some very useful things, and I felt very gratified at that time, the little guy who was alone and thin back then has become a trustworthy friend, and we are all fighting against the Houkai, I am very happy."

"You said Otto loved me before? Maybe there were signs of it at that time, but all my life is spent on fighting, rushing to one battlefield after another every day, and I don't have the thought and time to think about other things."

Kallen ate the barbecue in a trance: "Later, the frequency of Honkai slowed down a little. I returned to my daily life from the battlefield and had a relatively long leisure time, and then I noticed a lot of things... ..."

"Do you know the Atonement Scroll?"

"I know this. If in the history of ordinary people, the Atonement Scroll is something that the European Catholic Church declared to buy the Atonement Scroll, they can be exempted from the 'punishment'. It seems to say that some people are born with sins, so they have to atone for their sins." Zieg Fly salt the roast.

"Destiny was the structure of the church at that time, it was against the 'God' and protected the people... I always thought so when I was fighting, and my companions on the battlefield did the same, until I saw with my own eyes the civilians in the city of the Church of Destiny "Karen silently ate the barbecue, "Destiny collects money from the civilians under its rule, of course it's not some 'atonement bill', according to the current saying, it should be protection money."

"In a general sense, it is the destiny to protect you. You need to donate money. I asked Otto what this meant. He said that the battle must have enough supplies. These things are not free. You fight in front, and the destiny will naturally do it. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the logistical work at the time..." Caroline ate a piece of barbecue, "The relatives of the dead in battle have to spend money on comfort fees, burial fees, weapons and armor, etc. in many places. I don't understand what economics and politics are, but I also understand."

"There are people who stop all the wind and rain and suffering in front, and those who can live in peace and stability silently provide help behind. There is nothing wrong with the relationship between the two. They are all working hard for human beings until..."

Caroline paused, then slowly raised her head to look at Siegfried: "I saw with my own eyes that the people of destiny wanted to take away girls who were unable to donate money. Sweaty money, I saw with my own eyes that the patrol soldiers dragged away the corpses of starving and freezing corpses. The corpses were dragged on the floor, leaving bloodstains, and pairs of dull eyes looked at the bright sky , I questioned those patrolling soldiers, and they said that these people died of illness..."

"Kaslana is the shield of the people. I do everything I can to carry out the will and mission passed on to me by my father... But who am I protecting? What are I protecting?"

Chapter 370 Love Is Not Fair

"Shouldn't the Mandate of Heaven be established by human beings to defeat the Houkai? Isn't the duty of the Mandate of Heaven to defeat the Houkai and protect the people? Isn't the Kaslana family a shield for the people? Didn't I die on the battlefield just to implement my father's message? Give me the will?"

Karen chewed the barbecue, her movements were slow, and her voice paused: "During that period of leisure, I suddenly realized that something was wrong... Life was a little bit harder, it was nothing at that time, as long as peace was enough, but... …Why is life so withered and withered in times of peace, when there are no accidents? Why is there no smile on everyone’s face?”

"Otto is very smart, so I asked him, but he just told me not to worry about those things, he went shopping with me, took me on picnics, I knew he wanted me to forget about those things, and let me relax, but I can't let it go, because those things in the city are negating the hard work I have put in for so many years, and denying my life and death on the battlefield!"

"Afterwards... I set foot on the battlefield again." Kallen looked at the barbecue that Siegfried added to herself, and continued to eat bit by bit, "The troops of Destiny went to the Ming Empire in the east and encountered a powerful enemy, so I was sent there... Then I was even more surprised. In addition to the knights fighting against the Honkai, the Destiny also had an army. The members are ordinary human beings, and I just found out that Destiny has been using this army to go out and expand its territory."

"Honkai weapons? At that time, the destiny is not afraid that its army will be eroded into an army of dead soldiers?" Siegfried sprinkled salt on the barbecue, and listening to Kallen's words, he also felt something... Love love love this In Karen's previous life, she never paid any attention to this kind of thing.

She is confused about her pursuit and looking for her own path.

"And in that battle, I met the immortal who protects the land of Shenzhou from being attacked by Houkai... that is, Fu Hua. By the way, the weapon I was holding at that time was the Judas' oath unearthed from the ruins. Although I wanted to inherit my father's Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, the upper management finally decided to give me Judas' oath. Now that I think about it, it should be Otto's proposal. look." Kallen ate the barbecue, "Well, let's talk about it."

"I was defeated by Fu Hua. At that time, Otto rushed to the battlefield to block Fu Hua... To be honest, I didn't notice Otto at all at the time, but when I wanted to fight Fu Hua, what Fu Hua said With those words, I could feel that Fu Hua had no intention of killing me at that time, and also felt that Fu Hua had seen through my confusion at that time."

"...'The key of restraint is used to protect human beings. What are you pursuing to come to this battlefield'." Karen lowered her eyes slightly, "The Eastern Expedition of Destiny failed, and I returned to Europe. Then I started to investigate some things. Otto kept persuading me not to investigate, not to pursue... Now that I think about it, he is so smart, he should have known that if I investigate those things and learn about those things, I will definitely break with destiny. … At that time, I was stopped by him, but my confusion did not dissipate at all."

"What am I guarding, what am I pursuing..."

Karen chewed on the barbecue. She talked a lot today, but she also felt that some confused things gradually became clear as she talked about the past: "Later, I met a person who had a great influence on me, and that person was named Shakespeare."

"...Well, why is it so influential?" Siegfried continued to sprinkle salt.

"The first time I saw her, she was wearing a mask... the half-mask with a bird's beak. She gave a speech in the square, saying that destiny is a group of greedy people who wantonly exploit and squeeze in the name of protection. People, and then she was almost captured by the destiny, but I deliberately interfered and let her go."

"She can solve my doubts and my confusion. I felt this way at that time. When I heard her speech..." Kallen pursed her lips, "I met her later and proposed to her She gave me the mask and said, 'Where is the money, it's easy to find if you want'."

"At that time, I finally made up my mind to investigate those things secretly, and I began to wonder what Otto did. Why did he stop me from investigating those things?"

"The final result came out soon. The money was not used on the people or on the battlefield. The money was saved by the nobles and treated as their own private property, which was ready to be passed on as family property..." Karen moved He pursed his lips, "After I investigated it, I was confused about what I should do... Destiny, in my mind, is not an organization that strives for human beings, or it hasn't been from the beginning, but I didn't realize it at all."

"During the day, I try my best to help the people in the city. After all, Kaslana is considered a big family. I have fought for so long, and I have a little money. Moreover, my identity makes people who force people to pay money and rob girls They are all quite afraid, and now that I think about it, it is quite ironic, I am questioning the purpose and practice of destiny, but I can only make those people afraid by virtue of my status in destiny."

"However, my efforts were of no avail to so many people. I started to respond to the higher authorities, and started to ask the bishop of Apocalypse, which is Otto's father, but everything was useless..." Caroline tumbled At the corner of his mouth, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "What he promised casually will never be fulfilled, and he said seriously the bullshit that he might have believed. This side pushes things over there, and the other side pushes things back. Now that I think about it , in the eyes of those people, I'm probably just a troublesome but stupid ball, just spend a little effort to mention it to other people, and if I drag it, I will resign to my fate."

"So, order and managers can't come up with a plan that satisfies you and the people, and your mind can only think of violence?" Siegfried sprinkled salt on the barbecue.

"Well... At that time, Otto had been comforting me and persuading me, but if I continued to be so confused and just admitted it, then what was I doing? All my years of hard work and my father's death were all in vain. What's the point? Is the Kaslana family protecting the people, or helping the tyrants?" Karen ate the barbecue, and she probably didn't taste the taste, "At night, I turned into a strange thief and went to the houses of those nobles to steal them. The family's money...the money was scraped from the people bit by bit."
