The motivation that drives Red Prime Minister Peng Bonazi to usurp the country is not madness, willfulness, power, desire... but his love for Xing Antimony.
He loves Star Antimony more than anyone else.
It’s just that what he loves is the original star antimony, an “engraved” love like carving a boat to find a sword.
That is not because of love, but because of his hatred for Bashir for ascending to the dream world alone and leaving himself behind;
Maybe it is not because of hatred, but because Disappointment that Valentine hates iron for not becoming steel;
Perhaps it is not because of disappointment, but because of the beautiful memories of the pure struggle before the founding of the country;
But in the end, It’s not because of memories, but because of [love].
Because of the madness and selfishness of the path of love——
“No wonder,” Aleister suddenly laughed, “I have tasted a little bit of decay from you before. The smell is like the bottle of wine you kept.
“At first I thought it was an illusion. After all, you have lived for so long... People always want to reminisce about the past. "
"...Huh. "
Pomponacci's face suddenly darkened.
He guessed what "Lady Bayard" wanted to say, but he did not interrupt or deny it. .
Aleister looked at his face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Sure enough, you guessed it yourself...
" - Your path has deviated. We have gone to the [wrong] road.”
That is the road above the source of [error]... the twilight road that symbolizes eternity and stagnation.
The concepts of "engraving" and "reminiscing" belong to Lingpo Tiansi. In the case where Amber rarely answers prayers, Lingpo Tiansi is the spokesperson for the Dusk Path.
The "old man smell" emitted by the red phase is not an illusion - just like rotting flesh and blood will emit a smell and attract insects and flies. Once the extraordinary person on the path of love turns to dusk, he will become like this crazy person.
"Maybe."
Peng Bonaqi's words gradually became sharper, no longer as polite as before: "This is also my own choice."
p>Probably because what he wanted to say has already been said - as the founder of Star Antimony's most prosperous era, he looks down on the Star Antimony people of this era. Just like a paranoid old man, he arrogantly believes that "young people don't understand anything at all" and "this era is rotten."
Even those direct descendants whom he transformed into children of the moon, he looked down upon. Pomponazzi believed that they did not understand him at all, and they did not deserve to understand him.
But at the same time, he has an urgent desire to talk to others - no one can share the pressure in his heart, even if it is just a tree hole without response.
He was so eager to express his distress, just like a man in an online game that has been ghosted, looking at the dense gray in the guild alone.A veteran player who feels melancholy because of the pornographic avatar.
Looking at the sporadic stupid questions from the newcomers on the World Channel, he just wanted to sneer - those were the questions he had enthusiastically repeated countless times in the past, but now he simply couldn't muster the interest to answer them. One word. After all, they wouldn't be able to stay for long before they left. No one could accompany them, and they didn't understand the lively joy of pioneering the land. "The games back then were not like this at all."
But now, Baroness Bayard, who also existed in the Empire era and was a member of the same clan as the Children of the Moon, and even had a higher status than him back then, is naturally worthy of this "listening role." person’s identity.
It was like when Peng Bonazi was on the verge of giving up the game, he suddenly found that the guild veteran back then was back online!
——Lady Bayard, last logged in one day ago.
Peng Bonaqi will naturally feel a huge surprise and hang online every day. I just want to catch the other person online, have a good chat with them about the past, and reminisce about the past together.
But now, he has finished everything he should say and misses everything he should miss.
After confirming that the irreversible past was indeed irreversible... Peng Bo Naqi completely let go.
"If this is really your choice, why are you so painful and confused?"
"Bayard" crossed his legs, shook his glass, and spoke like As sharp as a knife: "Or do you really agree with Bashir's philosophy from the bottom of your heart?"
"The Star Antimony Way, which was born from the experience gained from an unequal empire, has brought more inequality. Have you really never questioned this path itself?
"The Way of Star Antimony puts the capable at the top - but who determines the capable? Is it a monarch? An expert? Or is it just the level of the path? Can people follow the path? Will it make them stronger if they go deeper? Is it because a person is stuck at a certain energy level because he doesn't work hard enough, or is inherently inferior?"
"—Otherwise? "What?"
Peng Bonazi asked: "Isn't this the case for the Bayard Group? The survival of the fittest is like this. Nature can provide a relatively fair fighting field, and it has eliminated most of them. Most of them are unfair."
"But the 'unfairness' you exclude is the biggest 'unfairness'."
Aleister did not hesitate. Refuting: "Does a person's talent only have one direction? Does his personal success only depend on his efforts and talents? Luck, opportunity, choice, persistence and giving up, personal performance, social support... these Can all factors be ignored?
"In the Star Antimony Way, the so-called 'winners' will always continue to compare upward, and the 'losers' will completely lose their dignity. People will not openly pity the weak, because they are just the 'outcasts', the sand in the gold that has been screened out. People will think that their failure is either due to stupidity or lazinessLazy...weakness has become the original sin at this moment.
“Prince Szijjarto is already quite talented as an alchemist. He can reach the third energy level at this age. In the future, he will have a deeper understanding of the way of balance and gain more knowledge. It’s only a matter of time before he reaches the fourth level.
“Albert is undoubtedly a genius, but he also feels pressured by the huge expectations placed on him by society. In order to be recognized within this social system, he must continue to become stronger - any personal achievements other than his own job cannot be recognized by society and will only be regarded as a plaything to lose one's ambition.
“In the eyes of outsiders, they are already quite successful people, and they are all real big shots. However, they are still subject to the expectations of others and tortured by everyone’s gaze... because they are once again in a The new evaluation system continues to fight against the new strong ones, with no peace and no end.
"And once they do. If it falls, its former glory will turn into a sharp blade. People are eager to trample these people who fall from heights, as if it proves that everyone is also a loser. It seems that one's own failures can be forgiven.
"On the other hand, if a person becomes a strong person in this system, then he will naturally think that he deserves everything he gets. It is logical and natural that he should enjoy everything. Because he is the embodiment of perfection, higher than losers in terms of personality, essence, talents and efforts... and everyone under his feet is relatively a loser.
"——Just. Same as you. "
Aleister said word for word: "This is a disease, the disease of snake body and mind - the Ouroboros of transcendence has bewitched you. Let you embark on a paradoxical road that has no beginning and no end, and can never reach the end. ”
It was a gesture like the Möbius Ring.
Originally, Aleister believed that Star Antimony should generally adhere to the principle of balance.< /p>
The Wangli Alchemy Association, the Demon Society, the Ziggurat, the Red Castle...many forces gather here to maintain a dangerous balance. Any party that takes the lead will be suppressed by the other parties. Thus spiraling up in this infinite swing
But now Aleister deeply realizes that all of this is just a disguise.
The way of Star Antimony. The essence is meritocracy, and what those alchemists pursue is the way of transcendence.
The difference is that the demonologists of the society follow the Fallen Sky Division, while the alchemists follow Huantian. Si.
As the original founder of alchemy, Huantian Si does have the possibility of being followed by alchemists.
"Bashir...Valentine I," Aleister looked at the gloomy-looking Peng Bonazi and asked, "He is the apostle of Huantiansi, right? ”
“So what?” ”
Peng Bonazi defended him, as if he wasDefending oneself: "From the stagnant stagnant water, even the emergence of a circulating river is a kind of progress!"
"——Is that a kind of progress or a kind of progress?" What about "Beyond"?
Aleister continued to torture Pomponazzi.
Finally, Peng Bonaqi seemed to be unable to bear it any longer.
"Huh...isn't it the same with the Bayard Consortium?"
Peng Bonazi counterattacked: "Obviously they are a family of ritual masters serving the snake father, but they are married to a family of witches. ——Who didn’t know that you responded to Ying Tiansi’s hug?”
Come.
Aleister's heart moved, and he realized that Peng Ponacci had broken his defense.
So she frowned while pretending to be unhappy, and defended feebly, trying to find out more secrets: "Curse and ritual... are not separate at all. They are both techniques of transcendence. , what's the difference?"
"Haha...the difference? Isn't the curse skill of transcending the path passed down by your Bayard family? You think the power of the ritual is too mild. Tao at all costs, absorbing talents and skills from all over the world, including curses, deceit, and potions - even betraying the way of transcendence itself.
"It is precisely by relying on these skills that the Bayard Consortium is founded. Only then could he reach the top of the empire in just twenty years. Every bit of your family's wealth is stained with blood and curses!
"If we are contaminated by the way of transcendence, you have never escaped from the way of transcendence."
Peng Bonazi's finger tapped the armrest hard, letting it There was a crunching and cracking sound.
He frowned slightly, looking a little anxious and annoyed.
Looking at the silent Baroness Bayard, Peng Pona asked in unison: "Did you really go to Taichu? I think you went to the ancient country of Anthia to study. You are far away from what you once were. There is no such viciousness, the words are like a stabbing knife.
"I know you went to Avalon after you came back - why, you were checking how the curses you sold in the past were being maintained. ? I heard that you fell in love with Aiwass of the Moriarty family... I'm afraid this is also the deceitful love that witches are good at, right?
“The curse of oblivion that surrounds the Moriarty family was originally imposed by your mother! In order to complete this curse, you still keep the reward that the first Moriarty pledged to you, right? Now that the seventh life has passed, the curse should have expired - but do you really plan to return the deposit to them?"
Peng Bo looked at Bayard and remained silent. Na Qi snorted coldly, as if feeling a little proud from the victory of words: "You may have forgotten, but I have not forgotten-" Mordred's Clarent Sword in the past , right where you are? But did you ever return it to Aiwass? I think... there shouldn't be, right? ”
“That’s enough. "
Aleister exhaled and felt satisfied.
"——It is indeed enough. ”
Peng Bonaqi frowned and replied in a low voice: "I have had enough with you.
"I am very disappointed, Baroness Bayard. I thought we would be the same kind of person..."
