"Apprentice knight, we are running out of time."
After waiting for a few seconds, Winston said in a low voice when Greg was silent: "I know what you are thinking, but our duty is only to follow orders, and the chair of the elders has a more long-term and comprehensive plan... At times, we cannot have our own ideas, otherwise it will only lead to more unpredictable consequences.”
"For the sake of your being a disciple of Joseph, I only remind you this time."
"Joseph's character is too upright... I grew up with him in the nurture department, and it is no exaggeration to say that I know him best. He is indeed the fearless and invincible white flame that you worship, from the past It has been so until now.”
"However, this impression in your eyes is based on the result that he has disobeyed the tower's orders countless times and made his own choices in the mission."
Greg was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "Those are..."
"You might think it's a good thing? Because every time it ends, everyone is happy? Oh, have you ever seen Joseph dying from a serious injury... It seems cruel to say that, but it's true, I've seen it countless times. "
"When fighting side by side with him, he always deviates from the arrangement of the elders' seat. Obviously, as long as we follow the plan, we will be able to solve the problem at the least cost, but he does not allow even this cost, and resists everything. It seems cool on your own, but once you experience it yourself, you'll understand how heavy it is."
"If he didn't have that strength, those luckless luck... He would have died on the battlefield long ago, and there is no place for the title of 'Undefeated Saint Flame'."
Greg wanted to continue to refute like this - what they worshiped is the Joseph who created this name and can create countless miracles on the edge of life and death and save everyone.
But the words stuck in his throat, and the teenager suddenly realized that this was not the smear of Joseph's enemies, but the confession of Joseph's friends.
He said these words, not to say that Joseph's achievements today depended on luck, and his subsequent fall was a manifestation of his incompetence...
He just wanted to say that Joseph is not as perfect and bright as you worship. He is not an undefeated fairy-tale hero, he is just a powerful and somewhat willful human being.
Or maybe he just wanted to tell others that Joseph was human too.
And as long as it's human, it will...die.
Greg inevitably remembered that in the rainy night, Joseph's body that seemed to never collapse, collapsed without warning in front of the bookstore owner.
"Some things don't happen how you think. You, or I, are neither Joseph, nor can they be. The tower's order is the core of our actions. If you want to do the second Joseph, How do you deal with the possibility of ruining everyone around you if you make a mistake?"
"In this world full of holes that may be invaded by dreams every moment, fate will not allow you to fail even once."
Winston was a little disappointed as he spoke, and looked up at the expanding hedging field, the center of terror that was brewing the ether storm.
Judging from the previous data, the struggle between the gods usually does not last for a long time, but it is not too short. It can be as short as a few hours, as long as a few days or even a few months. Cause unimaginable disasters, especially when these two are mortal enemies.
And in the past, it was outside Nuojin, but this time it was in the city...
This seemingly stalemate situation now must also be the result of some grumpy bastard trying his best to hold Wilde.
Like countless times in the past...
Before long, this battle will come to an end, regardless of whether Greg completes the mission or not, what decisions the Arcane Tower will make.
And the one who came out of the ruins was the last victor after two years of chasing.
Winston looked back.
“…Sometimes, the necessary sacrifices are unavoidable.”
But are these sacrifices really necessary
Greg couldn't help but ask this question in his heart, but he understood that there was really no point in arguing now, so he could only nodded and said, "I understand, I will try my best."
Winston: "Just understand, apprentice knight, keep in touch and report at any time. Everything you do now is for Nuo Jin."
Although he said that, Greg doesn't know how to test himself... It's better to say that he has tried it just now, but failed.
Now the demon on the other side is still waiting for his answer.
He said that he would contact the report at any time, but he didn't dare to ask in front of people how to answer it.
In the end, does he still have to rely on himself
Greg couldn't help but truly experience the "possibility of ruining everyone around him if he made a mistake", so... Is this the pressure that Joseph-sama has been facing all the time
He took a deep breath, put down the communication device and looked towards the opposite side, just in line with Lin Jie's gaze.
Boss Lin looked at him and asked, "This phone call... I mean, this communication has something to do with Joseph and me?"
Knowingly ask!
Greg was sullen in his heart and nodded. He worded his words and felt that he couldn't be more straightforward: "It's a friend of Lord Joseph. I just asked something about the things you used to help him and the tasks you are currently performing."
"That's it... Those are just trivial contributions, and I don't need to remember them now."
Lin Jie waved his hand humbly and said, "You should have an answer to that question just now, right?"
Greg raised his head, clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and said, "I think—Lord Joseph will win!"
Yes, he can't go against his own thoughts, even if he thinks about 10,000 possibilities, he can only say - Joseph will win.
"Oh… "
Lin Jie knew that he chose Joseph after struggling for so long. Although he could see that he was very confident in Joseph, he had to spend time thinking about it even if he was so confident. He must have a high opinion of Wilde.
He must have thought about Wilde's victory.
Greg felt as if he was going to the execution ground, rubbed his hands, and his heart was beating: "This is my personal idea... What do you think?"
Lin Jie, of course, followed the flow of kindness: "I feel the same way."
"?...!!!!"
Greg was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, so excited that he almost jumped up, his mind suddenly felt like he was going to faint.
He held the table tremblingly: "Really, really? You also think... Lord Joseph will win?"
"Of course." Lin Jie has always followed the customer and said leisurely: "Although Wilde is better at planning, Joseph's execution is stronger, and more importantly, he has countless supporters like you, right? Even if the process is somewhat The twists and turns, presumably the result will be good.”
