"Apprentice Knight, we don't have time."
Winston waited for a few seconds, and when Ge Leige was silent, he whispered, "I know what you're thinking, but our duty is only to follow orders, and the Elders have a more long-term plan … When carrying out a mission, we can't have our own thoughts, or else it will only lead to more unpredictable consequences."
"Since you're a disciple of Yue Sefu, I'll only remind you this once."
"Yue Sefu's personality is too upright … I grew up with him in the Cultivation Department, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm one of the few people who understand him the best. He is indeed the fearless and undefeated white flame that you worship, and he has been like this since the past."
"However, this impression in your eyes is based on the countless times he disobeyed the orders of the Tower and made his own choices during missions."
Ge Leige was stunned, and he subconsciously retorted, "Those are all …"
"You might think that this is a good thing? Because every time something happens, it's a happy ending for everyone? Heh, have you ever seen Yue Sefu being seriously injured and dying … This may sound cruel, but I've seen it countless times. "
"When we fight side by side with him, he would always go against the arrangements of the Elders. As long as we follow the plan, we can solve the problem with the least cost, but he doesn't even allow us to pay such a small price. It may seem cool to carry everything on his shoulders, but once you experience it, you'll understand how heavy it is."
"If he didn't have that strength and that one-in-a-million luck … he would have died on the battlefield long ago, and he wouldn't have the title of 'Undefeated Holy Flame'."
Ge Leige wanted to continue retorting like this — they worshipped Yue Sefu, who was able to create miracles on the edge of life and death countless times and save everyone.
However, the words were stuck in his throat. The young man suddenly realized that this wasn't Yue Sefu's enemy slandering him, but the confession of Yue Sefu's friend. Remember this in a second: http://m.9biquge.com
He wasn't trying to say that Yue Sefu had relied on luck to get to where he was today, and that his subsequent downfall was a reflection of his incompetence …
He just wanted to say that Yue Sefu was not as perfect and bright as they worshipped him. He was not an invincible fairytale hero. He was just a powerful and somewhat willful human being.
Or rather, he wanted to tell others that Yue Sefu was also human.
And as long as one was human, one would … die.
Ge Leige couldn't help but recall that rainy night when Yue Sefu's seemingly indestructible body collapsed without warning in front of the bookstore owner.
"There are some things that will not develop according to what you think. Neither you nor I are Yue Sefu, nor will we ever be. Tower's command is the core of our operation. If you want to do the second Yue Sefu, how are you going to face the possibility that you will kill everyone around you if you make a mistake? "
"In this world riddled with holes where dreams can invade at any moment, fate will not allow you to fail even once."
As Winston spoke, he felt a little disappointed. He raised his head to look at the hedging force field that was still expanding. It was the terrifying center of the aether storm that was brewing.
Based on past information, the battle between gods usually didn't last long, but it wouldn't be too short either. It could be as short as a few hours, as long as a few days, or even as long as a few months. However, such a short period of time was enough to cause unimaginable disasters, especially when these two were mortal enemies who wouldn't rest until one of them died.
In the past, it had always been outside Nuo Jin, but this time, it was in the city …
The current stalemate was definitely the result of a certain hot-tempered bastard using all his strength to hold back Wang Erde.
Just like countless times in the past …
Soon, regardless of whether Ge Leige completed his mission or not, and regardless of what decision the Mithril Tower made, this battle would come to an end.
And the person who walked out of the ruins was the final victor after a chase that lasted for two years.
Winston retracted his gaze.
"… Sometimes, necessary sacrifices can't be avoided."
But were these sacrifices really necessary?
Ge Leige couldn't help but ask in his heart. However, he understood that there was no point in arguing now, so he could only nod and say, "I understand. I'll do my best."
Winston said, "It's good that you understand. Apprentice Knight, keep in touch and report to me at any time. Everything you're doing now is for Nuo Jin."
Although he said this, Ge Leige didn't know how to probe … Or rather, he had already tried just now, but failed.
Now, the demon opposite him was still waiting for his answer.
Winston said that he would keep in touch and report to him at any time, but he didn't dare to ask him how he should answer in front of him.
In the end, he still had to rely on himself?
Ge Leige couldn't help but truly experience the possibility of "a mistake could cause the death of everyone around him". So … this was the pressure that Lord Yue Sefu had been facing all this time?
He took a deep breath, put down the communication device, and looked at the other side. He happened to meet Lin Jie's gaze.
Boss Lin looked at him and asked, "This phone call … I mean, this communication, what does it have to do with Yue Sefu and me?"
Asking the obvious!
Ge Leige cursed in his heart. He nodded and thought that he couldn't be so straightforward, "It's a friend of Lord Yue Sefu. He just asked about you helping him before and the mission you're currently carrying out."
"So it's like this … Those are insignificant contributions. There's no need to remember them until now."
Lin Jie modestly waved his hand and said, "You should have an answer to the question just now, right?"
Ge Leige raised his head and clenched his fist to encourage himself, "I think — Lord Yue Sefu will win!"
Yes, he couldn't go against his own thoughts. Even if he thought of ten thousand possibilities, he could only say — Yue Sefu will win.
"Oh …"
Lin Jie understood. After hesitating for so long, he still chose Yue Sefu. Although it could be seen that he was full of confidence in Yue Sefu, in this way, even if he was so confident, he still had to spend time thinking about it. Presumably, he also had a high opinion of Wang Erde.
He must have also thought about the possibility of Wang Erde winning.
Ge Leige was nervous as if he was going to the execution ground. He rubbed his hands, his heart beating like a drum, "This is my personal opinion … What, what do you think?"
Lin Jie, of course, readily agreed, "I think so too."
“？ …!!!! "
Ge Leige was stunned, and then he was ecstatic. He was so excited that he almost jumped up. His head was thumping, and he felt like he was going to faint.
He trembled as he supported himself on the table, "Re, really? You also think … Lord Yue Sefu will win? "
"Of course." Lin Jie always went with the flow. He said leisurely, "Although Wang Erde is better at planning, Yue Sefu's execution is stronger. More importantly, he has countless supporters like you, don't he? Even if the process is a bit complicated, the result will be good. "
