The Dark King
chapter-618

“Oh?”Richelieu raised his eyebrows and slowly sat up from the bed. “Controlling twelve elders? When did our outer wall region produce such a powerful figure?”

The gray figure lowered his head and said, “According to the Fei Lan family’s spies, this person seems to be the previous elder of the Ninth Division.”

“It’s him?”A trace of surprise appeared in Richelieu’s eyes. Others might not know the identity of this previous elder of the ninth division, but he knew it clearly. That little fellow had gone missing for less than a few months, and he actually had such ability?

“Tell me the situation in detail. Among the twelve elders, is there any insider of his?”Richelieu’s expression was solemn as he stared at him.

The gray figure was just about to speak when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew in from the slightly open window, causing the soft muslin curtains in the hall to flutter slightly. At the same time, a voice that was as indifferent as the cold wind rang out, “Pope wants to know the situation at that time. Why Don’t you ask me?”

Both of them were surprised. They turned their head and saw two figures standing quietly outside the soft muslin curtain. It seemed that they had been standing there for a long time.

“Be careful!”The gray figure quickly reacted after seeing the two of them. Cold Lightning flashed in his eyes. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and hid it behind his back with one hand, he suddenly stabbed out when he was close to his body.

Dudian’s expression was indifferent. He raised his hand and grabbed at the gray figure. He said to Richelieu: “Pope, if you don’t want to face the power of the pioneers then it is best for you not to make a sound. I don’t want to kill you for the time being.”His voice was calm, his palm was like lightning as he grabbed the gray figure’s wrist.

The gray figure shook his wrist and suddenly threw out a dagger. At the same time, his other hand suddenly slapped toward Dudian’s face.

Dudian’s eyebrows twitched. He didn’t expect that this person’s skill was not bad. He was far better than other senior hunters he had met. However, the rapid change of the moment was still hard to escape from the vision. He turned his wrist, the force shook off the palm that he had slapped away. At the same time, two fingers came together and stabbed out like a sword.

Puff! The gray figure couldn’t Dodge in time. His throat was pierced by Dudian’s two fingers.

The fight ended at the same time. His fingers touched the gray figure’s warm blood and tissue. He mercilessly pulled out the tissue from the depths of his throat and hit his chin with the back of his hand, he overthrew the gray figure.

The gray figure stared at him in a daze. His eyes were full of disbelief and shock. His body fell down like a falling barrier. Richelieu’s face was full of shock.

Richelieu wanted to shout for help when he saw Dudian appear. However the word ‘pioneer’in Dudian’s words made him swallow the cry for help.

If Dudian used other words to threaten him then he wouldn’t care about it. But the existence of ‘Pioneers’was high-level news in the inner wall. Almost no one knew about it in the outer wall, even the name of the existence of hunters wasn’t known to many people, let alone the top pioneers!

The weight of these three words in his heart had gone deep into his bones. It was the same as the civilians who would subconsciously lower their voice when they heard the nobles. It was the fear and awe of the long-term rule!

By the time he reacted, he saw the gray figure had fallen down. The smell of blood permeated in the hall.

He looked at Dudian in a daze. He couldn’t believe that the young man was a civilian who didn’t have any background!

Dudian saw that Richelieu didn’t shout: “You are smart.”

Richelieu’s face turned gloomy as he stared at Dudian. At the same time he looked at the slim figure behind him. He felt that the silent figure was more dangerous.

“What do you want to Do? If I remember correctly I didn’t offend you. Do you want to kill me and become the Pope?”Richelieu narrowed his eyes.

Dudian shook off the sticky blood on his fingers: “I don’t need to kill you. But you have to cooperate with me.”

Richelieu’s eyes flashed with a cold light. His wrinkled face was gloomy as he said: “You should take off your mask and we will talk about it. Mr. Dean.”

“Alright.”Dudian raised his hand and pinched his face. He quickly pulled out a thin film and revealed his original appearance. He didn’t care about his appearance being exposed, “Since the Pope knows about the dark church, he should be able to guess the reason why I came here.”

Richelieu’s face was gloomy, “If I’m not wrong, you are crazy!”! “Do you know what you are doing? You control the dark church and want to control the underground forces in the outer wall. You are courting death. I believe that the monastery will soon get the news and send out strong people to suppress you. Even if you have the support of the Pioneers, you won’t be able to defeat the monastery!”

Dudian had some guesses when he spoke about the pioneers. Dudian’s original physique had disappeared for a few months but now he had such powerful strength, it was not strange that he had resources from the giant of the pioneers behind him. The only strange thing was why did the giant of the pioneers do this? Did he want to use him as a chess piece to declare war against the monastery?

His mind was filled with thoughts and speculations.

“If my enemies are like you and are in danger, I think I would be very touched.”Dudian’s expression was calm as he looked around, he slowly led Aisha to a chair and sat down: “Since you are so enthusiastic, why don’t you pass your position to me?”

Richelieu saw that Dudian was fearless and his face sank: “My position? Don’t tell me that you want to be Pope as well as the Dark Church?”

“What’s the difference?”Dudian asked.

Richelieu was a bit stifled, he suppressed his anger: “I advise you not to think too much. The position of Pope is not something that I can pass on to anyone. Even if I am willing to pass the position to you, but with your identity and your resume, how can you assume the status of Pope? The church will not accept you. The elders will not accept you. The civilians and nobles will not accept you! Not everyone can sit in the position of Pope.”

“I know.”Dudian indifferently said: “So I have another candidate. This person is someone from your holy church. You just need to pass on the position to him.”

Richelieu was surprised: “Who is it?”

“Are you willing to give up your position?”Dudian didn’t answer but asked.

Richelieu’s face was ugly. He didn’t expect that there would be a spy under his nose. Moreover he was bought over by an unknown kid. It was a disgrace! He slowly clenched his fingers and took a deep breath: “Can you tell me why you are doing this? Is it because you were wronged and went to prison so you want to take revenge on everyone?”

“It seems that I have overestimated you.”Dudian said: “I am just doing what I want to do. As for hatred and hatred, you are not worthy of my hatred.”

Richelieu sighed, “I have seen your identity when the monastery sent you to be the elder of the ninth district. I know that you have suffered a lot along the way. However, you have come so far because the god of light is looking after you. The God of light will pay back all the wrongs you have suffered. You are still young so don’t be blinded by hatred. Hatred will pull you into the abyss of Evil.”

“Hatred will only make people miserable and blind.”There was a trace of compassion in his voice, “When you put down your hatred, you will embrace the light. You will see the world clearly. It is not as dirty as you think. The Darkness will make people blind and unable to see the future. You just need to put it down and you will be free.”

Dudian quietly looked at him: “Don’t forget that there is a strong light in addition to the darkness. Do you think it is possible to use this trick on me?”

Richelieu was startled, he bitterly said: “You are too deep in this world. If everyone is like you and is controlled by hatred, the world will be destroyed. Do you think that the world dominated by killing will be able to last for long?”? Everyone will suffer setbacks. But if you encounter setbacks then you will hate the world. In the end you will only destroy yourself. Even if you don’t believe in God, at least you have to believe in a truth — only a world of love and peace is the most perfect world, isn’t it?”

“Is it?”Dudian asked.

Richelieu stared at him: “Isn’t it?”

“No.”Dudian denied as he looked at him: “Have you heard a story?”

Richelieu was startled: “Story?”

“Once there was a farmer who built a sheep pen. There were white lambs inside.”Dudian slowly said: “Every lambs lived happily and happily. Although they competed for food but they didn’t cause any casualties. So every lambs could eat delicious food. The farmer was happy to see such a situation. However, as the days passed, the lambs in the sheep pen grew bigger and fatter.”

“The gentle farmer finally raised his knife and slaughtered the lambs one by one. He sold them to the meat market.”

“Until that day came, the happy lambs realized the true fear.”

Richelieu frowned as he listened to Dudian’s story.

“The next year, the Farmer bought a group of lambs.”Dudian continued: “These lambs lived happily in the sheep pen. But one day, the wolf came. The wolf rushed into the sheep pen. All the Lambs were scared and ran out of the sheep pen to hide.”

“The farmer rushed over when he heard the news. He saw that several lambs were bitten to death and the others were scared away. He was furious and hated the wolf. The Lambs who ran away also hated the wolf because the wolf had made them lose their stable residence.”

Dudian looked up at him: “Do you hate the Wolf?”

Richelieu’s face was gloomy. He knew that Dudian was asking him to make a choice. He wasn’t choosing whether to hate or not. He was choosing where to stand!

He was silent for a long time: “Have you ever thought that even if these lambs know their final fate, they will still hate this wolf?”

“Oh?”Dudian looked at him with interest.

Richelieu said: “Because in this sheep pen, they can at least live until they are old. But if they leave the pen, they will be in danger. They might die of illness or starvation. Compared to such days, living in the sheep pen is the greatest happiness, right?”

Dudian nodded: “You are right. This is the end of the story. In the end the farmer killed the wolf and found the lamb. This is a happy story.”

Richelieu opened his mouth but didn’t know what he was going to say.

“But…”Dudian’s tone was gentle: “We are human and not lambs. There is a big difference between humans and lambs. Humans have dignity. Of course, there are many people who don’t have dignity.”

“But at least some of them have dignity. They don’t want to be lambs.”

“So in real life, not everyone will hate this wolf.”Dudian looked at him: “The existence of the dark church is like this, isn’t it?”

Richelieu’s lips moved: “You are right. But because of this, it is sad!”

“Do you also think it is sad?”

“What I said is sad. It is not that some people are willing to be lambs.”Richelieu shook his head: “But those smart lambs who think that they have seen the world outside the sheep pen and predicted the farmer’s behavior! They know their own ending so they don’t want to behave themselves. They like to cause trouble. But in the end they are just a sheep. Even if they are angry and irritable, what can they do? They will only hurt their own kind but not the farmer.”

“Therefore, the smarter the person, the more dangerous, the more rational, and the more cold-blooded. When dealing with smart people, don’t share your heart.”

Dudian slowly nodded: “You are right. The world is in the hands of smart people and will be destroyed by smart people. However, if you want to not be destroyed then you have to be the smart one.”

Richelieu said: “Your idea is no different from those smart lambs.”

Dudian was silent for a long time before he slowly said: “If I accept my fate then there is no hope. If I don’t try how will I know that my horn won’t pierce the farmer’s neck?”

Richelieu looked at him: “But have you thought about how many of your kind will be hurt?”

“There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who accept their fate are one kind and those who don’t accept their fate are one kind.”Dudian coldly looked at him, “Every chess piece on the chessboard has the effect of killing the enemy. In that case, you should be prepared to be killed.”

“You are completely blinded by the darkness.”Richelieu sighed, “Hatred will only lead to destruction. Your current actions are just like that. Even if you have gained the authority of the radiant church and the cult of Shadows, what can you do? “You have broken the stable order of the monastery governing the outer wall region, and you have also broken the rules of the various factions in the inner wall region. Do you know how serious the consequences of breaking the rules are? You are rebelling against all the citizens of the giant wall of Sylvia! ”

“You have broken your own rules. It is called perfection and modification. Other people have broken these rules. It is called Rebellion.”Dudian slowly said: “You don’t have to scare me with all the people of the giant wall of Sylvia. I have seen a vast world that you have never seen before. If you want to say that I am rebelling then do you choose to submit or to be honest and unyielding?”
