Jobtran bit his lip, and the salty taste of blood and the mellow aroma of cigar mixed in his mouth.
Faced with Bismarck's invitation, Jobtran found it difficult to refuse, but he was rebelling in his heart.
Yes, in history there have always been people who need to bear stigma in order to do certain things. This is a necessary step in the development of human civilization.
Just like a play, if there are only heroes but no devil, it will definitely be a play that is widely criticized and no audience will even be willing to watch it.
Everything in the world has two sides, just like day and night, light and darkness, justice and evil.
There are absolutely no extremes in the world. Instead, the world is composed of four basic elements that are interconnected and check and balance each other.
Among all living things, there are absolutely no individuals that are exactly the same. Even the snowflakes created by nature are all different.
Human beings are a complex collection of contradictions, and society composed of human beings is even more so.
There are two sides of human nature, good and evil, and now Bismarck's duty is to be the bad guy in society who is condemned by everyone.
People respected him because he had established a great reputation and had made enough military achievements;
People fear him because he is cruel and ruthless, yet tough;
People admire him because he has superb skills and a comprehensive view of the overall situation.
But all this was achieved step by step on corpses.
Jobertrand found it difficult to convince himself to follow Bismarck's old path. Although it was a great mission, Jobertrand never thought in his heart that he would become a power-grabber.
Whether in his childhood in Arkham Orphanage or his life in Ulm, he never dared to hope that he would become a person in a high position.
Moreover, Jobtran had been taught many teachings of the Holy Light Church since he was a child, so he couldn't bear to be stained with the blood of his own kind.
The sixth commandment of the Ten Commandments of the Holy Book of Light is: You shall not kill.
In his life, Jobtrand never thought that he would become an executioner. He didn't want to do that.
He still remembered that during the Umr's Sorrow, in order to protect himself, he accidentally killed the possessed Captain Brandon.
This incident left a heavy mark on his heart and he felt guilty for many days, but at that time Jobtran had no choice.
After that incident, Jobtran secretly made a promise to himself that he would never harm innocent people except pagans.
Thinking of this, Joe Butran's eyes became firm, and then he replied,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bismarck. I can't do that."
Bismarck waved his hand and didn't seem to care.
"Everyone has their own choices, and everyone carries a different mission.
I respect your choice.”
After stubbing out the half-burned cigarette, Bismarck supported himself on the ground and slowly stood up.
After standing up, Bismarck brushed off the non-existent dust on his butt and said hello to Fabia.
"Let's go. Contact me if you have anything else. Although you have nothing good to say to me."
Fabia responded with a smile.
"If you take care of yourself and take good care of yourself, you still have a dozen years to live."
Bismarck spread his hands after hearing this.
"Whatever. Let's go."
Then he left the archive room in a leisurely manner.
When he stepped out of the door, Bismarck turned back into the dignified and iron-blooded chancellor, as if he could only be his true self in this archive room.
When the two bodyguards saw the Iron Chancellor coming out of the door, they hurriedly followed him and then asked Bismarck about his next itinerary.
The Iron-blooded Prime Minister exuded a murderous aura, which made the two bodyguards feel chilled at the same time.
The two looked at each other and said, "Someone is going to be in trouble."
"First go back and send a telegram, calling for the Third Army to come."
Bismarck said with narrowed eyes.
The two people behind him showed surprise in their eyes, but immediately responded yes.
"Are they going to start a full-scale war? Are they actually going to send out the Third Army?"
The two couldn't suppress their shock in their hearts and their faces were full of panic.
The 3rd Royal Marine Corps of the Prussian Empire, commonly known as the 3rd Army, is a marine corps equipped with the latest gunpowder technology.
Its victory rate reached 80%, but its damage rate was extremely low.
Every soldier inside can be transferred to other teams to serve as team leaders.
Whether it is close combat or long-range shooting, everyone in the Third Army has received the most rigorous training.
If it were placed in the ancient era of cold weapons, the Third Army would be the most elite spearhead.
Throughout the history of the empire, there were very few occasions when the Third Army could be deployed, and it was usually used as a trump card.
I don’t know what kind of conflict will happen in Munihei next, which requires the Third Army to be mobilized here.
The three of them slowly left, and Fabia looked at Joe Butran and asked,
"Don't you regret it?"
Jobtran shook his head and said nothing.
"Actually, I know you will refuse. You are not that kind of person."
Fabia played with her hair with her fingers and continued,
"You can't do it, or you don't want to dirty your hands."
Joe Butran smiled bitterly and said slowly,
"I'm not fit. I can't even support myself, let alone support others."
Fabia sighed and adjusted the thick glasses on her nose.
"It's up to you. Bismarck will lead the way for us, and we just need to deal with the aftermath."
Fabia felt sorry for Jobtran's choice. As Bismarck said, he was old, but he had not found a successor who could inherit his will.
But Fabia did not blame Jobtran for his choice, because everyone has the right to choose their own path in life.

Butler Baird collected some letters from the mailbox outside the door, which contained some bills that needed to be paid in the near future and flyers from nearby shops.
It is worth noting that there is a letter that was specially sealed with a wax seal. There is no signature on the envelope and no indication of the recipient.
On the wax seal of the letter there was an imprint of the sun on the horizon.
Baird looked around and when he found that there was no one around, he opened the letter and took a look at it.
The note read: "Leave Munihei for now."
Baird thought about it for a moment and then looked puzzled.
This letter was sent to him, he is the agent codenamed Dusk.
He lurked beside the Teutonic Duke for more than 40 years. In his middle age, he was recruited by the Iron Chancellor's faction and became a spy under the Chancellor. He monitored whether the powerful old duke had any rebellious intentions. Later, he found that the confused old Teutonic Duke decided to stand on the opposite side of the Iron Chancellor, so he secretly executed the old duke.
It wasn't just a coincidence that he was lurking around Eugene.
As one of the largest tycoons in the country, Eugene is the object that all forces want to please.
Under the Prime Minister's deliberate arrangement, Baird successfully lurked beside Eugene and eliminated the spies planted by other factions and forces around Eugene.
It was he who secretly murdered the unfortunate chef from France.
Who would doubt an old man with gray hair
After Baird finished reading the letter, he took out a match and burned the letter in a corner.
Little did they know that Veronica saw this scene outside the door from the window on the second floor.
Veronica, who was also lurking in Eugene's house, had been on guard against Baird for a long time. Now that she knew that Baird's identity was special, she wanted to see what extraordinary things Baird would do.
Mrs. Kirk has been spending her time practicing the piano recently, and from time to time she can hear the sometimes passionate and sometimes melodious piano sounds at home.
Little Albert's daily life naturally fell on the shoulders of the pleasant Veronica. Eugene did not react too much to this. After all, Veronica had taken very good care of Eugene's daily life, and even gave Eugene a feeling that "this woman makes my life more stylish."
Not only the decoration of each room, but even the fragrance and furnishings, Veronica fine-tuned these details to make Eugene's life no longer boring.
Every morning, the thoughtful Veronica would place a Munich newspaper and a refreshing drink on Eugene's study desk.
Eugene's eyes gradually became extremely gentle when he looked at Veronica. Sometimes, Eugene even wondered if he was beginning to fall in love with this woman who took care of his life so meticulously.
Veronica retracted her gaze so as not to attract Baird's attention.
At this time, little Albert was no longer interested in the ornaments on his head that were sparkling and tinkling in the breeze.
He concentrated on holding the compass given by Elphis in both hands, and then shook his chubby white hands.
He found that no matter how he shook or adjusted the direction of his body, the compass always pointed in the same direction.
Albert became curious about this magical physical phenomenon.
"Kaka! Kaka!"
A clear childish voice came out of Albert’s mouth. This was his way of calling Veronica.
Albert can now speak some relatively simple pronunciations, but every time before speaking, he seems to think for a long time to make sure that what he says is correct before he speaks out.
Veronica turned around and gave the cute little fat boy a bright smile.
The sunlight shone in through the window, making Veronica seem to be carrying a holy light.
Who wouldn’t like a woman with such a diverse style
The little pervert Albert especially liked to take a nap in her arms.
“Kaka!”
Albert placed the compass in his hand in front of Veronica who turned around. Ever since Albert received this special gift, he couldn't let it go.
He called Veronica over, naturally to show her his favorite things.
And every time Veronica would explain the principle of the compass to little Albert with a smile.
This is exactly what little Albert likes to hear the most. Compared to those bedtime stories that deceive children, Albert seems to be more interested in these physical principles.
"Oh, I know, I know. This is a compass. In the far east, they call this Sinan.
On the axis inside is a thin needle made of magnet. Under the influence of the natural geomagnetic field, this magnetic needle can rotate freely and remain in the direction of the tangent of the magnetic meridian.
The south pole of the magnetic needle points to the geographic South Pole, which is the North Pole of the magnetic field. We use a compass to determine direction.
You know, the earth is a big magnet. There are many minerals underground that create a large magnetic field.
The compass indicates north and south through the principle of magnetic repulsion. "
Veronica spoke patiently, while Albert listened with relish to the physics knowledge that was enough to make one sleepy.
I don’t know when it started, but Albert has developed the habit of observing and daydreaming. There are always some strange fantasies in his cute little head.
In his subconscious, he resisted this knowledge, but at the same time he was attracted to it.
He began to develop a strong curiosity about life, the world, and the surroundings, that is, a desire for knowledge.
Hearing those sad and moving stories would only make him drowsy, but these boring academic knowledge would make him energetic.
Albert showed talents and habits different from ordinary people, which destined his life to be extraordinary.
The clock struck twelve and it was time to prepare lunch for Albert.
Veronica glanced at the clock, then opened the door and went to prepare a sumptuous meal for Albert.
Albert looked at the compass in his hand, which was spinning wildly at this moment.
No matter how Albert shook it, the needle wouldn't stop moving.
——
Holding a briar pipe, Elphis lay on the comfortable sofa, smoking the tobacco transported from Ying Country.
This tobacco has a fresh, pandan-like scent, but also has a strong, spicy flavor.
This tobacco comes from a mysterious forest that has long been called the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is located beneath a dormant volcano, where compasses fail and the forest during the day is as dark as night.
The towering trees blocked the sunlight from the sky. Strange mushrooms and thorns grew in the dense forest, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time.
There is a local legend that there are man-eating monsters living in the Black Forest, and many people have never walked out since they entered the Black Forest.
Some lucky and brave people have encountered human remains torn into pieces in the Black Forest, and fled from this ominous forest crying.
In fact, the Black Forest is the stronghold of a Yellow Group.
These natural conditions are very suitable for the people of the Yellow Group to gather here. Ordinary wild beasts dare not come into contact with these people who carry an extremely evil aura. Instead, they avoid them for fear that they will turn themselves into delicious meals if they are unhappy.
Evelya, who has a good figure and red hair, wore a pink mini dress today. She put on a delicate and generous makeup on her face, and matched it with bright red lipstick, making her charming and attractive.
Evelya has been in Munich with Elphis for four or five days. Life here is much more interesting than the boring life in Ulm.
She changed into this outfit today to visit their new neighbors.
She couldn't help but feel some anticipation in her heart.
Although Evelya moved around among the young and promising nobles and upper classes in Umr, she was never tempted.
With Elphis, she was completely devoted to him.
Every time she attended a banquet or other event with Elphis, she hoped that Elphis could give her a surprise.
It doesn't have to be a shiny ring or jewelry. In fact, she is more looking forward to Elphis saying in person that she is now with him as the hostess.
Maybe this is Evelia's little woman mentality.
Evelya liked staying with Elpheus very much, because Elpheus was always so mysterious and full of wisdom. Even in bed, Elpheus occupied her heart all the time.
This was a quality that Evelya had never seen in any other man.
Other men might be excellent, but Elphis was like a mine that could never be dug to the bottom, which made her look forward to the secrets that Elphis hid underneath.
Evelya threw herself into Elphis's arms and said coquettishly,
"Honey, it's almost time for us to leave."
Elphis held the pipe in his left hand and gently stroked Evelya's beautiful red hair with his right hand, and said softly,
"Yeah, almost."
There was a look of reluctance and a hint of nostalgia in Elphis' eyes.
His eyes were fixed on Evelia's hair. He picked up a few strands of fragrant hair with his right hand and put them to his nose to smell the fragrance.
It was the alluring scent of roses, mixed with a small amount of rare night-blooming cereus scent.
"Evlea."
Elphis called her name softly and looked affectionately at the beauty sitting on him.
"Um?"
The beauty in his arms lowered her head shyly, ignoring his gaze and looking directly into those deep eyes.
Every time she looked directly into Elphis' eyes, her heart was always moved.
“You always tug at my heartstrings and I can’t take my eyes off you.
Your beauty always reminds me of my late wife who has left me."
Elphis murmured.
Evelya felt a little sad after hearing this. She thought to herself,
"Even though I stayed by his side and tried every way to please him, whether it was those shameful postures or seductive underwear, I still couldn't compare to that dead woman?"
Then Evelia pouted her lips and asked angrily,
"You never tell me what kind of person she is, but you always mention her in front of me. You are going too far."
Elphis was stunned when he saw this, then smiled and said,
"It doesn't matter what kind of person she is, my lovely Evelya.
She has left my side and gone to the Most High God.
It's you who is by my side now, isn't it
You shouldn't get angry with someone who is no longer alive."
After saying this, Elphis hugged the angry Evelia into his arms and kissed her forehead.
Elphis looked at the sky outside the window. It seemed that there was a star shining brightly in the daytime sky, silently revealing something to Elphis.
"Yeah, time is running out."
