Lü Luo returned to the surface. Wu Yi, Wu Yeji, Zhang Zhangming, and the others were already waiting for him here.
Seeing Lü Luo in a daze, most of them already had some guesses about this negotiation.
Zhang Zhangming walked over directly.
"Do you want to go for a drink?"
"Ah?" Lü Luo was a little surprised. He really felt that the entire Empire was now in the shadow of the apostles.
He had no clue at all. It would be too irresponsible of him to go for a drink.
But Zhang Zhangming's next sentence woke him up.
"I feel that you are under a lot of pressure? Actually, there is no need to be like this. The pressure will never be on you alone.
You are also not the savior of the entire human race.
Even if the human race really needs a savior, there are still many people stronger than you. It will not be your turn! "
Lv Luo was taken aback when he heard this.
These words ….. were very reasonable. He actually could not refute.
He did not know why during this period of time, he always took all kinds of responsibilities on himself.
He even thought of himself as a savior.
Many things, if he did not do it, no one would do it.
No one was vigilant against the apostles. No one saved the human race.
Why did he have such a strange thought?
If he did not do it, would no one do it?
No, Nolan was doing it, Gu Tianfeng was doing it, and the other people in the Inspection Department were doing it too.
When it really came to a crisis, Lü Luo knew without thinking that the members of the Empire's royal family would definitely unite.
Then what was he so anxious about?
Lü Luo stood in place and began to carefully think about the reason for his anxiety during this period of time.
Family? Maybe it was a part of the elements.
Dream? No.
Responsibility? Also no.
Then ….. was it the apostles? Or was it the fear of the apostles?
It seemed to be a little bit!
He did not know when it started, but he had been living in the shadow of the apostles.
The eighth, ninth, and tenth apostles were Leviathan, Aotu, and Meiqi.
These three apostles were closely related to him.
Lü Luo had been living in the shadow and control of the three apostles.
He wanted to get rid of this relationship, which was why he was so anxious.
He had a nagging feeling that these three fellows would destroy everything.
However, the reality was that even if these three fellows could really destroy everything, they might not necessarily destroy him.
His nature was very special. If he really defected to the apostles, he would be able to do so.
Meiqi would probably let him go, and even his family.
Let him live the rest of his life in peace.
It could be said that from the very beginning, Lü Luo was already in an invincible position.
All the tension and urgency were self-imposed by him.
He was unwilling to compromise, which was why he was so anxious and fearful.
"Minister Zhang's words have cleared the clouds and allowed me to see the sun."
Zhang Zhangming didn't expect that Lü Luo's reaction would be so obvious.
"It's good that you've thought it through. There are many things that are not your responsibility alone.
No matter what you do, you have to take care of yourself and your family. "
"Minister Zhang is right. I've been too impatient recently."
"Do you still want to have a drink?" Zhang Zhangming invited again.
"Go, go, go. Just treat it as relaxing."
Lü Luo suddenly thought it through. It couldn't be said that he thought it through. He just didn't want to burden himself with so many responsibilities.
There was no need. Humans didn't belong to him alone. The country didn't belong to him alone.
So many princes and princesses were just doing nothing. Why was he, an outsider, so excited?
Since everyone wasn't anxious, then he didn't need to be anxious either!
…
The two of them walked into the city. At this moment, the Imperial Capital was still peaceful.
They couldn't feel any threat at all. There were only things related to the apostles and the end of the world.
In the perception of ordinary people, they couldn't feel anything.
They couldn't feel that kind of anxiety at all. Most people were still worried about what to eat for lunch at work today.
When Lü Luo saw this scene, he suddenly felt relieved.
That's right. The apostles' matter seemed to be a matter of the entire world.
However, in reality, it was a matter of a small group of people.
He didn't need to be so anxious. Many people weren't anxious.
"How ironic. What have I been anxious about these days?"
"You don't need to feel bad. Everyone has their own choices. Everyone's status is different."
Zhang Zhangming pulled Lü Luo and sat down in a small tavern.
They ordered ten kilograms of beef and some wine.
These dishes seemed like a lot, but for two seventh level experts, it wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Actually, Zhang Zhangming hadn't eaten for a long time.
He wasn't someone who cared about food like Lü Luo. Thus, when he had enough energy, he didn't need to eat for a long time.
Lü Luo was different. If he didn't eat for a day, his entire body would feel uncomfortable!
"Let's drink!" Zhang Zhangming filled Lü Luo's cup.
This was the first time he took the initiative to pour wine for Lü Luo.
The two of them had known each other for a long time. However, this was the first time they drank together.
Zhang Zhangming didn't expect that the shrewd Lü Luo would need someone to comfort him one day.
"Mm, let's drink until we're drunk today."
Lü Luo said with a smile. The two of them drank one cup after another.
The atmosphere gradually became lively.
"What do you plan to do about this matter?"
After three rounds of drinking, they had to return to the topic of conversation. Although Lü Luo said that he didn't need to care about this matter,
Zhang Zhangming knew that Lü Luo just needed some time to breathe.
Once he had enough space, enough thoughts, and enough ability, he would still take care of this matter.
That was why he asked at this time.
Lü Luo didn't make a fuss. After pondering for a while, he shook his head slightly.
"I don't know yet. The situation is worse than I thought."
Lü Luo thought of the current situation in the palace and Madam Nolan's request for help.
It seemed that he hadn't done a single thing that he had promised.
Whether it was the help of the Bai Family or the resources of the Investigations Department, he didn't have any.
As for the method that Gu Tianfeng mentioned … … the method of sacrificing Madam Nolan to find the truth … … Lü Luo could only agree.
Sacrificing an eighth-grade master and the forces under her.
If he could really get rid of an apostle, then was this deal worth it?
When Lü Luo had this thought, a voice immediately appeared in his heart.
[It's very worth it!]
But he immediately shook his head. This kind of thing shouldn't be judged by him.
He didn't know when he had become so cold-blooded.
If one day, he was really like Gu Tianfeng, who used quantity and the value of items to measure the lives of humans.
Then what was the difference between him, the apostles, and Gu Tianfeng?
Nightmare had once mentioned this problem. Once one's strength increased to a certain extent.
Then they would gradually lose their humanity. Lü Luo felt this problem, and so did Nightmare.
In this negotiation, Lü Luo actually saw the same problem from the other masters.
Bai Mo's method was to strengthen his humanity and exaggerate his own humanity.
Nolan's method was to play with people's hearts and let herself be in the negotiation with people's hearts.
Gu Tianfeng's method was to let nature take its course. He ignored humanity. But in fact, Gu Tianfeng's method was to follow the choice of his heart.
If Lü Luo followed his heart, he would probably ignore people's hearts at this time.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for Madam Nolan's matter." Lü Luo lowered his head.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhangming asked simply.
"Chief Gu Tianfeng wants to give up on Madam Nolan.
What he means is to use an eighth-grade master to kidnap an apostle and use Madam Nolan to lure the apostle out of the palace.
Then, the Inspection Department will take action and completely eliminate the hidden danger in the palace.
Once the apostle is eliminated, the problem in the palace will be solved and the emperor's investigation will be much easier. "
Lü Luo simply told Zhang Zhangming Gu Tianfeng's idea.
This kind of thing should be a secret.
But Lü Luo didn't hide it, and Gu Tianfeng didn't ask him to hide it before.
Many people with discerning eyes should have felt that something was wrong.
Perhaps the only person who didn't know was Lü Luo!
After hearing this, Zhang Zhangming nodded slightly.
"Do you think this method is right?"
"I don't know. Previously, I felt that something was wrong. But now that I think about it, this seems to be the best method.
He said that Madam Nolan's past was not glorious. She climbed to her position by stepping on the bones of the dead.
So, sacrificing her now will not only solve the problem of the apostle in the palace, but also give an explanation to those who died innocently.
His words are twisted logic, but I can't find a reason to refute it.
This is the most troublesome thing! "
Lü Luo drank a mouthful of wine gloomily. Sacrificing Madam Nolan seemed to be the best choice.
But why did this choice make him so gloomy?
This was also a question that Lü Luo couldn't figure out.
"It's because of responsibility. Or rather, it's because of your promise.
You and Madam Nolan have reached an agreement. You want to fulfill your promise to each other.
That's why you're distressed. The current you no longer has the ability to fulfill this promise.
Am I right? "
Zhang Zhangming looked straight into Lü Luo's eyes. The meaning behind his words made Lü Luo feel ashamed.
He didn't know where his shame came from.
Could it be that Zhang Zhangming was right?
"I don't know either. Perhaps it's because of responsibility. I do want to fulfill this promise.
But now, I feel that this kind of promise is a selfish thing to do.
But if I don't fulfill it, it will seem like I'm denying many of my actions in the past.
But if I don't do it, I feel relaxed. I'm very confused. That's how it is. "
Towards the end, Lu Luo's words were somewhat incoherent.
Zhang Zhangming frowned slightly. He already had a certain understanding of Lü Luo's situation.
This didn't mean that Lü Luo was wrong, but Lü Luo wasn't right either.
His current problem was that his worldview was in conflict with the worldview of ordinary people, as well as the worldview of interests.
The difference in cognition and denial of cognition caused everything to become chaotic.
Zhang Zhangming really wanted to say something to enlighten Lü Luo, but he felt that anything he said would be useless.
Lü Luo's ability was far above his. This kind of thing could only be judged by Lü Luo himself!
"I don't know how to persuade you, but the only way I can think of is to let you relax.
You're not alone. You have your friends and lovers. You have a lot of things to cherish.
Lü Luo, if you feel tired, you can go home and take a look. "
"Go home and take a look?" Lü Luo was slightly surprised. Did he have freedom in the capital?
Although he had an alliance with Wu Yeji and Wu Yi.
He had never forgotten that the Inspection Department and the royal family were in a state of surveillance.
"I'm afraid you really can't go back in the past, but the situation is different now.
You've already met my teacher, Gu Tianfeng. His judgment and opinion are the judgment of this city.
Before His Majesty the Emperor appears, his choice is your future.
You walked out from the deepest part of the Inspection Department, which means that he has already let you go.
Therefore, you can choose to go home and take a look at your wife and children. Have a good chat with them.
Talk about your children's growth and your future.
At the same time, you can think about your own future. "
Zhang Zhangming's suggestion tempted Lü Luo.
He really wanted to go home. His home was in the mountainside villa!
He wanted to see his children. This seemed to comfort his heart.
"Thank you, Old Zhang. Your suggestion is really good.
Although you're a little weak, you're still good at enlightening others. "
"Get lost. You're always talking about me. Why would Hitomi Hakuzuki like a beast like you?"
The two of them started cursing at each other again.
In fact, the friendship between men was that simple, as long as their relationship was good enough.
If their relationship was good enough, then they would often recognize each other as father and son.
…
The next day, Lü Luo woke up with a hangover in the tavern.
With his physique, he shouldn't be drunk at all, but he was indeed drunk because of his indulgence.
Zhang Zhangming's indulgence, The Observer's indulgence, and the non-believer's indulgence.
The Observer sensed Lü Luo's annoyance, so he didn't say anything.
The non-believer also sensed Lü Luo's annoyance, so he didn't even have the immunity effect.
The sequence was something that served the host!
Lü Luo looked at the note beside his hand. It should have been left behind by Zhang Zhangming.
[Rest well. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up.
You're not the tallest one, so this matter doesn't have much to do with you.]
Lü Luo smiled and turned the note in his hand into ashes.
"Yes, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. That's not wrong.
But if one day I become the tallest person in the world, will there be any possibility of me backing down? "
Lü Luo's thoughts were a little crazy. If he said this, many people would probably laugh at him for being arrogant.
But only Lü Luo himself knew that he would definitely become an Eighth Grade master. There was no possibility of any accidents.
That was because he had now touched the threshold of Eighth Grade.
He wasn't very sure when this threshold appeared. It seemed to be the conversation with Gu Tianfeng.
Or it seemed to be the drinking session last night.
In short, he felt it. He really felt it.
He needed some accumulation. He needed some breakthroughs.
Perhaps when he reached Eighth Grade, he would be able to clearly understand the responsibility this world had given him.
And this world's attitude towards him.
"Ah, let's go home!"
