"You are a madman." Rody said in a calm tone, "No, it is not accurate to say that, nor is it fair to you... But you are indeed a madman. A person with a heart as hard as iron and a calm mind." You are as crazy as an ice cube! Your madness does not lie in the madness of your plans - on the contrary, you are the most thoughtful guy I have ever seen; your madness does not lie in your arrogance... You are not arrogant. Face it all with such terrifying calmness, weaving your web like a diligent spider... You are almost the calmest person I have ever met.”
Roddy smiled strangely: "But I still have to say, you are a madman, and a poor madman!"
Seth sighed, shook his head, and whispered: "Are you trying to anger me? Then you are wrong, I will not get angry at all."
"Really?" Rody smiled more calmly: "Then you will be even more pitiful."
Rody glanced at Mr. Qiu, and then said slowly: "Actually, in the past, maybe I would have been persuaded by you, and maybe you could have used Nicole to bind me tightly. But unfortunately, not today." At this point, he glanced at Seth coldly and said slowly: "But I still have to say, you are a madman, and you are very pitiful."
"Keep talking."
Roddy sighed: "I don't understand many conspiracies. It's exactly what you said. If you follow your words, you have a great chance of success... If I am willing to obey your mercy. You will control the Tulip family in the empire." The most influential family, you will get the support of the army... You have the queen and your son, as long as you find a way to arrange the emperor's death - although I don't know your method, I guess you must have it There is a way for your son to inherit the throne. But everything you said is based on a foundation..." Rody said this and pointed to himself: "The foundation is that I want to be at your mercy."
Seth frowned: "Don't you agree? Are you still dissatisfied? You are just a guy struggling at the bottom of the empire. I have given you a glorious position, a person who is admired and cheered by millions of people. Chance… "
"Human nature!" Rody suddenly interrupted him and said these two words coldly: "Human nature! Seth, you have misjudged human nature! Your biggest mistake is that you did not take human nature into consideration! Or rather … You have no humanity.”
Rody suddenly took a step forward slowly and said calmly: "You said just now that you won't get angry or angry. But I know that not only are you incapable of anger, you don't even have any other humanity at all - you don't You don't know how to love, don't know how to feel sad, and don't know how to hate. You seem to have only your picture in your mind, without any humanity! So, this may not be your mistake, but it is your biggest failure! Because you have no humanity, you miscalculated the humanity of others—especially me!”
His words were still calm, but there was a calm and wise expression on his face: "As you said rightly, at first I was just a humble person. In my opinion, life comes first. Being able to survive is the key to my survival. The only purpose is that I have no other requirements or aspirations.”
"The situation suddenly changed. Under your arrangement, I entered a whole new world, which made me admired by countless people - but also put me under too much pressure! Life in the army It was very difficult, not just in life, I saw many things that I had never imagined.”
"Yes, I became the Tulip Duke, a great military commander in the eyes of thousands of people! I took my sword and my confusion to the battlefield! In those days, I discovered that life is so fragile, The vines that are still sprouting green leaves and buds today may be broken tomorrow and wither with blood. In those days, I don’t know how I survived. I saw that. Many people have become dim from their original brightness, and their originally graceful frames have become bent, gradually falling into dust. Some are harmed by others, and some are harmed by themselves. That fate is always there. Happens every day.”
"I have also killed people and tried the taste of blood on my hands, but my heart gradually stopped beating. I feel that killing is not a stressful action!"
"In those days, I didn't know why I still survived. It seemed that survival was for the sake of survival, and to survive in order to destroy another existence. Is this really interesting? Is survival really meaningful? I was once very confused, but a life The ending made me suddenly understand a lot of things!”
"Yes, if I am willing to listen to your arrangements and cooperate with you, then I will have many things that the common people in my past could never dream of! Glory, wealth, and the attention of thousands of people... But! I am talking about but. ! I will become a puppet, charging forward only after hearing your instructions, and thinking is just a boring thing."
"Of course, you think you are smart! Maybe in your smart mind, thinking is just a boring thing - for me, I don't need to think, because that's your thing, I just need to be an obedient tool That’s it…”
There seemed to be a noble light shining on Rody's face, and he said slowly: "To a certain extent, I want to thank you. Thank you Seth. You sent me to the battlefield, to hell, to hell. I saw the blood and the end of human life. So I changed! I understood what you didn't understand - maybe it's ridiculous, but it's true. . I understand a lot of things that should be understood by you. ”
Seth finally changed his color slightly. He frowned and said, "What do you understand?"
Rody took a deep breath: "The meaning of tulips!"
"I understand that the reason why I fight and charge is not because I want to survive. When I kill those inanimate fools, it is not for the sake of survival. It is for the sake of honor. The greatest thing in the world that cannot be tarnished. ! The greatness of tulips lies in their honor! The reason why tulips are admired by thousands of people is because they symbolize honor! At this point, Rody gradually darkened his face: "Not despicable conspiracy and Shameful trick!"
Before Seth could speak, Rody shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's strange, isn't it? I'm just an outsider, and you are the real son of tulips! But I'm telling you what the real meaning of tulips is - But I can still tell you that you are wrong!"
"Like everyone else, I originally misjudged you. I thought you were a person who didn't care about the family's responsibility. But now I find that you are a crazy guy who wants to revitalize the family... But your approach is too crazy. So crazy that you are destroying the Tulip family!"
"The tulip flag is admired by thousands of people precisely because it has been willing to be the pillar of the empire for hundreds of years. It is a strong city wall, a loud horn, and a long sword in the hands of warriors! It can be everything, but It’s definitely not an emperor, it’s definitely not ambition!”
“The greatness of tulips is that they are built with iron and blood under the sun—not with political machinations!”
Roddy smiled happily and calmly, and his eyes were clear without any impurity: "After I understand this, do you think I will still be at your mercy?" He said lightly: "The tulip flag can only Flying over the iron-blooded army, flying on the flagpole in the hands of the soldiers, flying in the fortress where there are many powerful enemies - and definitely not in a place like the palace! Tulip is a warrior, a fearless warrior, not an emperor!"
After saying all this, Rody looked at Seth and said softly: "And these are things that you, a person hiding in the darkness, will never understand!" His eyes gradually became extremely contemptuous and contemptuous. , said coldly: "Those who stand in the darkness will never understand the meaning of the sun!"
Seth finally changed his color. He looked at Roddy in front of him with an incredible look in his eyes, as if he no longer recognized the person in front of him.
Is this guy that silly boy? The guy who's always at the mercy of others? A guy who rarely has his own opinions from the beginning until now
"Are you surprised?" Roddy said lightly: "I admit that I am not as smart as you. I will never be able to plan such a huge conspiracy as yours, and I will never be able to figure out many complicated things... But I know that you are trampling on ! I don’t know whether the picture you described is good or bad. I don’t even know whether I was wrong or right in rejecting you today... But I know that you are trampling on human nature, trampling on me, and trampling on people’s feelings! "
The fists in Roddy's hands gradually tightened, and a look of evil appeared on his face: "Unlike you, you have almost no human emotions... You won't be angry - but I will! As a person who was teased by you I’ve been living with you for so long, and now I’m actually filled with anger! Do you know what I want to do most now?”
He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "What I want to do most is to dent your nose with a punch, and then see if you will have that heartless smile on your face again!"
Seth sighed, shook his head, and a smile slowly bloomed on his face. He still smiled so gracefully, and said lightly: "It seems that, according to what you said, should I give in now? You don't want to talk to me. Cooperate, then it seems like I should give up?”
He looked at Roddy, who was full of anger, and said with a bitter smile: "I really misjudged you. Are you really that Roddy? Why have you become so independent now? Why do you think so from a person with such a simple mind? Zhonghui said such a gorgeous truth..." He seemed to be sighing in a low voice and murmured: "What did you just say? Oh... The vines that are still sprouting green leaves and buds today will be tomorrow. It may have been broken, bleeding and withered..."
He frowned and raised his head to look at Rody: "Why can't you listen to me? Why don't you want to create that wonderful picture with me? Sigh... What an interesting thing that is... Now as long as You nod, we will recreate the great era of the Tulip Duke and the Sage Danton... Don't these be alluring in your eyes? "
"Yes!" Roddy admitted: "It's indeed tempting! I admit that I have been tempted by you, but now I understand that it was just a lie!"
"False?"
Rody nodded: "False! The truth is that the poor woman in front of me is crying, crying for her misery. The truth is something that I think is very serious and respectful. I originally thought that I was doing a great thing. , but in the end I discovered that it was all a joke in your conspiracy! The truth is that a madman is daydreaming!"
"Okay." Seth nodded and said lazily: "Then, since you are not willing, then I have no choice but to give up."
There was a strange look in his blue eyes, and he slowly said three words, three words that surprised both Mr. Qiu and Rody.
The conspirator said calmly: "I admit defeat."
"What?" Roddy was stunned for a moment.
Seth smiled and said: "I said I gave up... you don't believe me?" He laughed and said: "Then what do you think I should do now? Fall out with you... I can't beat you. Run away and continue to plot in secret, and then fight with you to death. Fighting? That's not my style... Perhaps my biggest mistake was you, Roddy. You really surprised me... Did I pick the wrong person?"
He shook his head: "But I always feel that I didn't pick the wrong person... Why do I still feel that I didn't pick the wrong person even though you ruined my plan?"
He suddenly patted his clothes lightly, then stretched and said calmly: "Mr. Qiu, I remind you that the Pope has known your secret for a long time... It just depends on how you solve it... Roddy, I have to say, you are the most interesting person I have ever met... Is it true that only simple-minded people can understand those things? "
He glanced at the dumbfounded queen behind him, walked over, kissed her hair gently, and said lightly: "I have no apology in my heart - because like that kid said, I am a guy who can't feel humanity. . But I also want to say sorry. My life with you is wonderful..."
After saying these words, the playboy who had maintained elegance from beginning to end stood in front of the three people and said lightly in a chanting tone: "Everyone, the conspiracy has been exposed and the performance has ended. It seems that It’s time for the curtain call…”
He walked slowly to the gate, looked at the three people, bowed gracefully in all directions, and then with a smile on his face, a ball of flame suddenly appeared on his body!
Before anyone could react, his body was already tightly wrapped in flames. The Queen only had time to jump up before she was grabbed by Mr. Qiu. Amid the Queen's cries, Seth's body quickly disappeared. Burning, ashes flying everywhere, and soon, in the raging flames, the ashes disappeared...
…
"You really just give up like that? Seth..."
"Yes, my dear old Mark... why not? It's not elegant to be entangled..."
“…”
"My dear old Mark, don't you think this is interesting enough in itself?"
“…”
"I mean Roddy, this guy really amazes me... He's like a growing beast... I even feel like, to a certain extent, I've succeeded... Think about it, we shaped it What an interesting person... Maybe, we have made history... "
"Oh...then what do you want to do now?"
"Haha..." After a chuckle, "That boy actually said that I have no humanity... I was really helpless when such a boy said those words, but I didn't have anything to say to refute him... So... I want to go Finding my humanity.”
"human nature?"
"Yes, whether it's love, hate, anger, sadness... I want to find this feeling... Think about it, the things that boy said seem very interesting, I really want to feel it Let’s have a taste of it…”
