Twilight War

Chapter 65 Journey to the West

——Do you have Wanhe Forest in your heart?

01

Blood dried up on the white iron walls, and Huangxuan Jin walked through the long corridor of the Iron Hall accompanied by Irene, the secretary of the Inquisition Office.

Since Isabel took over, I don't know how many people have been executed in this corridor in the name of heresy.

After the signing of the "Magna Carta", the power of the monarch of Vana was no longer as good as that of Alfonso XIII, and that girl was still supervising this huge empire through the Inquisition.It's just that all the blood no longer passed through her hands on the bright side.

When those who were convicted of heresy were shot in the corridor of the Iron Hall, and blood was splashed on the white iron walls, Isabel may still be praying in the church in Corinth, pious and holy like the six-winged lily angel Gabriel.

"Aren't you going to clean it up?" Huang Xuanjin frowned and turned around to ask Irene beside him.

"Anyway, there will be new ones soon." Irene said nonchalantly, holding the file folder, "But every Saturday, soldiers will come here with tin buckets to clean it up."

"What is the purpose of Major General Huangxuan coming to the Inquisition?" Irene asked.

"Well, what I said may be considered by you as a bit too... whimsical, and I'm not sure whether you will trust me." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Major General, can you be more specific?"

"What I'm going to say has something to do with witchcraft, I guess you won't believe me." Huang Xuanjin said.

"This is the Inquisition House, and we are responsible for executing all witchcraft and heretics." Irene said with a smile.

"Stop making trouble, pretend I don't know, this is a political|political|prisoner execution base disguised as a religious trial." Huang Xuanjin said.

"This is what the ministers of the Senate think, or rather, this is what we want them to think." Irene pushed open the door of the Iron Hall cabinet.

"What we're really responsible for—is that final twilight."

Huangxuan Jin raised his head and saw the huge mural painted on the entire wall of the cabinet of the Iron Hall—the Twilight of the Gods.

Jormungandr returned from the mud bed of the deep sea, Hull took the ship of dry bones, and behind the No.13 god Loki was the endless dusk.

"So the Heresy Inquisition is actually a three-layer sandwich biscuit. The officials in Vana think that you are political | Um, an institution similar to the Hall of Valor?"

"You can think of it that way," Erin said.

"Okay, then I'll say it." Huang Xuanjin said: "I don't think the fire in Corinth in the old aristocratic district 30 years ago was not an accident at all."

The boy looked into Irene's eyes with a rare serious expression.

The flames that lingered in Corinth in the west decades ago, the souls struggling in the ruins.

But Irene suddenly snorted and laughed, "Then major general, do you know the real culprit behind the fire?"

Huang Xuanjin shook his head, "It all happened 30 years ago, how could I know."

"Major General, did you come here just for this kind of thing? Do you think the Vana Empire would think that the fire was just an accident? Regarding the fire 30 years ago, the Corinth Governor's Office investigated it for more than ten years, and finally had to close it down." file processing."

"We all know that the fire can't be just an accident. But we don't need someone who asks questions. If you can't solve this problem, then don't ask any questions." Irene put the document in her hand on the table, Then he opened the chair for Huang Xuanjin.

"What if I say that the fire-like tragedy will happen again in the near future? And it may be even more tragic." Huang Xuanjin said: "The trees grow bigger and bigger, and the nutrients they need will only increase."

"Where did it happen?"

"I don't know." Huang Xuanjin shook his head.

"And how do you know that tragedy will happen again?" Erin asked.

"Well... If I tell you, I entered a fantasy..."

"So, you got instructions from God in the illusion?"

"It should be the instruction of the witch." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Major General, if this is still the period of witch hunting, you will be burned at the stake." Irene shrugged.

"Look, you still don't believe me. But I always think it will be true, so, can you send me some people, just a few hundred guards."

"If you want to transfer troops, you must have a sufficient reason. Here is a report form. Fill it out and report it to the higher authorities. The military department will make a decision." Irene put a thick stack of report cards in Huangxuan In front of Jin, "But nine times out of ten, they won't be passed." The girl raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Huangxuan Jin.

"Forget it, trouble." Huang Xuanjin glanced at the thick list and said, "They will only take my words as the ramblings of a witch."

He waved his hand and turned to leave the Iron Hall.

"Major General Huangxuan, is this your rise?" The girl in military uniform suddenly said behind Huangxuanjin, her tone was a little sarcastic, and the girl tilted her young face, "You are here under the name of the three surnamed servants. Queen Isabel has been a Knight of the Guards for two years, and now you have become a major general of the empire, but you still refuse to fight for anything?"

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to conquer the wild like a waking king of wolves? Do you want me to rush to the senators in the Senate and point a gun at them, forcing them to give me soldiers? Do you think I'm Gou Jian who is trying to save his life or the king of Chu Zhuang who hasn't flown for three years? Please, I'm just a Donghuang traitor waiting to die." Huang Xuanjin said with his back to the girl, he chuckled.

"Do you want me to be like fireworks, usually piled up in ash in the warehouse, and then one day when I meet a spark, I will suddenly burn brilliantly and rise up desperately?"

"Just being alive is already hideous enough."

He was indeed the king of wolves, but his wolves were long gone.

He is now just a lone wolf wandering the wilderness.

Even if one day he is put on a collar by the shepherds to guard the flock, even if he is called the wolf king again by those shepherds, it is impossible for him to hunt and kill desperately again.

Now, even if he tries hard to rise up, he is just working hard absent-mindedly.

He has long been used to seeing the dusk, so how could he try his best to chase the dawn.

His efforts were only half-efforts.

The young man pushed open the door of the Iron Hall cabinet and walked out along the corridor. His finger slid across the white iron wall, and his fingertips were full of dried blood, leaving a crooked line on the bloody wall. .

"Huang Xuan Jin!"

The door of the cabinet was opened by Irene, and the girl walked quickly into the white iron corridor on high heels, and then threw a silver coin to Huangxuan Jin.

Huang Xuanjin took the silver coin in confusion, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and found that this silver coin was somewhat different from ordinary ones.

One of the rose petals on the back has withered.

"There are Inquisition Flares in many hidden places in Vana. With this silver coin, you have the authority to release the flares. If something urgent happened at that time, the Inquisition will send out the executioner." Ai Lin said.

Huang Xuanjin turned over the silver coin in his hand, looking at the withered petals.

"In Corinth alone, there are more than ten places where signal flares can be released. This kind of signal flare is specially made and can be clearly seen even in the foggy weather in Corinth." Irene added.

"Thank you very much." Huang Xuanjin put the silver coins into his pocket.

"Huang Xuan Jin." The girl called Huang Xuan Jin's name again.

"Huh?" The boy raised his head.

"Even if you don't plan to soar into the sky, at least you can flap your wings to put on a show." Irene said suddenly, her eyes seemed to be complaining and a little angry.It's like the older sister looked at the younger brother who refused to learn to fight and smoke all day long and knew that he would not listen to her, so she hugged the book and sighed.

"En." Huang Xuanjin nodded.

Irene sighed and shook her head, then turned around and walked back to the cabinet stepping on her exquisite high heels. In an instant, she became the capable secretary of the Inquisition Office again.The cabinet door was shut again.

In the dim corridor, Huangxuan Jin turned his back and used his fingers to draw a slightly distorted smiling face on the blood-soaked white iron wall of the corridor, and then continued to walk forward.

Palace of the Holy Rosary.

Huangxuan Jin sat on the dark red sofa in the Queen's bedroom, waiting for the girl behind the curtain to finish her grooming and makeup.

Today is the day for his work report. Generally speaking, he should hold a thick stack of documents to prove that he has done some work.But he didn't bring anything and came here empty-handed.

At this moment, he was a little bored watching the floating shadows cast by the sun on the ground through the organza curtains.

The girl who finished her grooming opened the curtain, "Tell me why you came here."

"Today is the day for the work report, of course I have to come." Huang Xuanjin said with a chuckle.

"Come on, for you, unless today is the day of salary payment, even if I say that everyone must be here, if you have nothing to do, you still won't come."

"Do you still remember the fire in Corinth 30 years ago? It is very likely that the same tragedy will happen again in the near future." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Why? Why? Why?" asked Isabelle.

"I don't know anything about it. I just came here to tell you this." After speaking, Huang Xuanjin stood up while supporting the armrests on both sides of the dark red sofa, his fingers sunk in the suede fabric.

"Also, I want to ask, what's going on at Huayin's place." After Huang Xuanjin stood up, he drew circles on the suede with his fingers.

"You mean the silver mine of Juyuan in Donghuang?" Isabel asked.

Huang Xuanjin nodded.

"If you mine the silver of the giant abyss, so many people shouldn't die." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Huangxuanjin, I am the queen of Vana, not Donghuang's. No matter how many people die in Donghuang, it has nothing to do with me." Isabel said with her head tilted.

"En." Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and reached out to smooth the suede of the sofa.

"Why, do you want to complain to me about those dead Donghuang people?" Isabel suddenly laughed.

"You know, I don't want to care about any politics anymore. The matter of Vana and Donghuang has nothing to do with me. The reason why I am still here is only to bring the Huangxuan family back from the country of the dead." Xuan Jin said.

For that young man, everything in the world was just passing clouds to him.Even if you pass the sword past him, he will just raise his eyes lazily.He didn't want to put his flesh and blood into the huge meat grinder of national politics for a long time, and grind himself into blood foam.

Only bringing the Huangxuan family back from the kingdom of the dead was the only thing he had to hold on to in the dark.

People can't help but think that once this little lighthouse light is extinguished, he will fall into the abyss as a whole.

And now, facing the light of this little lighthouse, he didn't even dare to work too hard.

He was afraid that once he paddled hard to reach the other shore, he would find that everything was false.

All shattered.
