The man put away the other two scepters and said to Cecilia, who was still in a fighting posture: "Relax, Cecilia - the gray snake will not humiliate itself again."
"Hmm——" Cecilia retracted her movements and stood up, holding the black abyss white flowers with both hands, "I think so, Bishop."
"Eh?" Otto frowned, "Did it affect the wound?"
"Well...actually it's not bad," the woman shook her head, "My wounds have basically healed, but...I'm still a little unsteady."
"Then hold on to me," Otto stepped forward and let Cecilia hold his arm. "We can't let our destined saint walk from London to the headquarters with the white flowers of the black abyss."
There was a lily-like aroma coming from around her. Compared with her previous ignorance and simplicity, Cecilia, who had recovered her memory, had a more mature charm. It was like an old wine that had been sealed. People couldn't help but want to taste the depth of it. fragrance.
Otto's nose was slightly raised and he narrowed his eyes in contentment.Of course he can construct a wheelchair, but - well, yes, he's also out of power, and the God Key isn't omnipotent.
"Thank you Bishop."
Cecilia didn't think much about it. After playing too crazy more than ten years ago, Otto also supported her when she was mentally tired. It wasn't until the distance between the two became farther and farther.
Of course, her respect and love for him have never changed, which is why in the end, even if his Honkai fission bomb is about to take away her life, her mood is just helpless, smiling bitterly as if resigned to her fate, unable to mention it at all. I felt every bit of resentment towards him.
——But now, all the helplessness has turned into reverence and surprise. The bishop brother is still special to her in the end. Even if he insists on going his own way and violates his will, the current bishop has never regarded her as useless like he treats other people. piece.
She knew his methods well, and therefore she was ecstatic about this unfathomable preference.
Cecilia took back the Black Abyss White Flower, staggered, and hugged Otto's arm.She didn't intend to use too much force, but when Otto tilted his head and said "Huh huh" in question, he smiled sheepishly and attached the other snow-white arm.
The two walked slowly in the passage, Otto slowed down so that Cecilia could walk without too much difficulty.
"Are you planning to go somewhere else? I asked Amber for a month's leave."
"No need, Bishop," Cecilia stuck out her tongue, "Four years of playing time - Cecilia is already very satisfied."
"Hmm? Little guy," Otto stretched out his other hand and tapped Cecilia's forehead skillfully, "have you already started teasing me?"
"Cecilia doesn't dare." The woman smiled, her eyes sparkling.
"It's still like what I said when you lost your memory," Otto said, "You have already completed the path you should take. You are free to go wherever you want."
"free……"
Cecilia's eyes were blurred for a while, and then she seemed to remember something, and her eyes suddenly looked a little sad.
But she didn't seem to want to convey her emotions to the people around her, so she changed the subject and said:
"By the way, Bishop, why do you make the matter so clear to the intruder?"
Chapter 46 Otto is never bright
"Do you think it would be better to induce the Gray Snake to give up the Jackal Raven and then do what I say?"
Otto's pupils dilated slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned to look at Cecilia,
"Wait, let's not talk about anything else - Karen, have I led the Holy Maiden of Destiny to evil?"
The woman lowered her head, turned her eyes and looked up at Otto. Her pink lips were raised and slightly opened, and her beautiful face that was both dignified and elegant had a hint of girlish playfulness:
"Whatever my brother thinks, that's what it is."
There was a comforting familiarity in her heart.
During her outings in the past, she had been so free and lively in front of Otto.
Even if he surpassed the man in front of him in the game he valued most, he would only get a small punishment of being banned. In the end, he even got an extra day of vacation.
Once a year, this is already a great favor; Cecilia is not a dissatisfied person. The position of the Saint of Destiny brings her honor and power, and naturally she has to be restricted by it to a certain degree of freedom - this is fair;
Based on this, Otto can give her extra pleasure. This kind of favoritism that no one else has is enough to make her, a young girl in the past, ecstatic.
It was a period of stable youth that made people cherish, indulge, and even be obsessed with it forever.
Yes, it is delusion.
is eternity.
"You, you," Otto said with a non-negative eye roll, "you still need training."
The blond man smiled like Cecilia, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He knows, he knows better than anyone else, that the more distant it is, the more illusory it is; the more illusory it is, the more it resembles beauty; and in the end, the more beautiful it is, the more it is missed.
Otto knew what she was thinking and was in charge.
Apokalis is never bright, a talent that this family has had since the beginning of civilization.
"Conspiracy and conspiracy - this is the method used to disrupt and destroy,"
The man helped Cecilia to the place where she was thinking before and opened the door - by this time Rita had left,
"We don't have to do this. With Tianming's size, any form of confrontation with the World Serpent is a waste of Tianming's resources."
Of course, that was before Kevin's fighting power returned.
It was known to everyone 5 years ago that he was invincible under [Endgame] and [Salvation].
If Kevin returns to the World Snake at this time and regains his strength, the entire current civilization's combat power will not be enough to defeat this old guy.
But it's not like there's no chance to kill him... It's just that even if he tries every step of the way to leave Kevin with only a trace of health left, he can still defeat civilization in a fancy way...
The blond man's thoughts were racing and he helped Cecilia to the sofa.
"Little Cecilia, you don't think that World Snake can solve what I'm talking about on its own, do you?"
Otto asked, then shook his head in reply,
"Then the World Snake can't be called the World Snake, it should be called the Destiny Snake. They simply can't have enough followers while ensuring everyone's loyalty."
"Why?" Cecilia looked confused, her big green eyes blinking.
"People are selfish,"
Otto sat in his original position and explained patiently,
"The selfishness in my mouth includes the simplest desire of 'survival', as well as the seemingly selfless existence of 'realizing self-worth'. Religion itself, in its initial stage, will definitely have a lower level of 'selfishness'. Enough article."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and took out the mug and milk powder from the space of Void Manzo.
"In the final analysis, in human life, the 'heart' will guide most of the time. Any kind of words, formulas, rules, beliefs, and dogmas cannot do what the 'heart' can do. No matter how lofty the religious belief is, If they cannot follow their 'heart' and satisfy their egos, then - they will surely perish."
"But there will always be people who survive because of their faith."
Cecilia looked at Otto steadily and said softly.
There seemed to be too many emotions hidden in her gentle, watery eyes, and she seemed to have turned all her thoughts into a kind of pure devotion.
“… Of course, we cannot underestimate all reverence for greatness;”
Otto's hand stopped for a moment, then quickly continued, gently stirring the milk in the mug.
"It's a pity that despite many beliefs, for most people, it is just the various instincts that dominate us - yes, selfishness, instinct!"
The man said something in admiration, and then said calmly,
"Belief in selflessness is rare, Cecilia. When the Holy Son revered by mortals went to the cross, his devout disciples also denied it; when Karen went to the gallows, no one but me ran for her. .”
"When it comes to the depths, the entire reality, the entire nature, and faith itself are all "self" to people. In other words, no matter how lofty the church's faith is, there are always people who have selfish intentions; and where there is selfishness, there will be betrayal ."
He handed the milk to Cecilia. The woman was stunned for a moment, took it unconfidently, and lowered her head.
"Little Cecilia, do you understand what I mean? There is no need to rush to answer."
...Are you asking me?
Cecilia frowned a little uncomfortably and did not speak immediately.She was not stupid. The woman understood the Bishop's meaning almost instantly - but she was not clear either.
What she knew clearly was the meaning of the man's words; what she didn't know clearly was the meaning behind his words - it was indeed difficult to pronounce, but it was not difficult to understand:
Simply put, Otto talks too much now.
Of course, Cecilia never meant to dislike it.She likes the atmosphere with sounds in her ears, which makes her feel alive - wait, she also seems to like the silence when the bishop combs her hair...
Well, she admitted that it didn't matter whether it was spoken or silent, what was important was that the bishop was by her side.
But then again, why would the current bishop state so much and lay out all Otto Apokalis's thoughts in front of her almost sincerely?
A long time ago, the Lord Bishop certainly asked her to think, understand, and analyze - but he would not speak in such a candid and detailed manner as today. She was so serious that she was a little flattered.
It was so concise and concise in the past. It should be said that it was guidance, teaching, teaching her how to view the world, and helping her grow.
This is not Cecilia's patent. As a leader and the master of destiny, Otto will treat every Valkyrie with great potential in this way;
But...but like now, making milk for her, dissecting oneself bit by bit in front of her, putting all actions and thoughts in front of her so that she can understand empathy, this is...
Only people who are close to each other can talk in such detail, right?
The white-haired woman stirred the soaked milk, pushed her hair back, glanced quickly as her arm passed her eyebrows, and looked at Otto cautiously.
The blond man was watching with a smile, his emerald eyes were as mysterious as before, but they contained a small version of her.
Cecilia's heartbeat quickened slightly.
By doing this, brother, is he showing her his inner world?
Was he allowing her to get closer to him and get to know him better?
Chapter 47 Destiny
"How's it going, Cecilia? Do you have an idea?"
Otto saw the white-haired woman raise her head and asked.
Cecilia's chaotic thoughts calmed down, and her beautiful eyes pretended to be calm and calm.She took a sip of milk and replied:
"Well, I personally think what you mean, Bishop, is that the reason why a religious organization can be accepted and expanded is to satisfy people's [self] needs; as long as World Snake is a world-class organization, as long as it is not powerful If there is no need for people to maintain its operation, then there will definitely be believers who are not devout, and it will definitely be solved from within.”
"Therefore, World Serpent's current problem will not be solved by redeeming the two hostages, and it has nothing to do with them at all; you just induced that gentleman to combine the two things of 'redemption' and 'World Serpent's future' 'Reality' is mixed together to obtain a benefit without cost?"
"I'm so glad you understand, Cecilia," Otto's smile finally showed a hint of sincerity, "When the collective steps into grandeur, [Purity] no longer exists, and [Faith] is just an excuse." , a kind of curtain through which many instincts operate—a cloth that shames and blinds certain instincts.”
It is true that World Snake has a mechanical body like Gray Snake that can take on thousands of incarnations, and there is a person like Yu Rabbit who can support half of the Stigmata Project.
But there are mercenaries like Raven who pay to do things and always bet on both sides in the end, pseudo-scientists like Jackal who can’t do anything but harm the No. 1 person, and Chen Tianwu, the ultimate young man who is also a licker. How can an organization’s internal system be any better if everyone can become a senior cadre?
Unless Gray Snake really relies on its own mechanical body to run the entire World Snake - but in that case, as Otto said, he would be happy to reduce his opponents to puppets.
500 years is enough time for Bishop Tianming, who is now at the peak of civilization's intelligence, to research the technology of incarnation to the end.
