Chapter 930: Why Abandon [Order]? Abandon? No, I Never Abandoned Him

~7 min read 1,389 words

Why Abandon 【Order】? Abandon? No, I Never Abandoned Him

The crossbow bolt split the wind and left the string, accurately shooting into Ke Laoer's chest.

This High Inquisitor didn't even move, just letting Lideyala's hatred and anger nail him to the back of the chair.

He was truly dead. Cheng Shi and Sun Miao were very sure that the Ke Laoer in front of them had lost all vitality, but...

Since he was still alive in the history outside the dream, it meant that everything in front of them was far from over.

Sure enough, just as the two players were looking around, another Ke Laoer appeared silently behind Lideyala, gently reaching out to take the crossbow bolt from her hand, and then studying it carefully.

Lideyala seemed to have expected it long ago. She was not panicked at all, even with a sneer of sarcasm on her face.

"This is your confidence and means to kill Lord Esares, right?

Why, does our High Inquisitor want the High Inquisitor's seat in Katerou Court to be filled with identical inquisitors?"

Although Lideyala's words were extremely ugly, Ke Laoer didn't get angry. He just smiled and observed the short crossbow in his hand, pacing back and forth beside the other party:

"Look, this crossbow bolt is the crystallization of civilization.

From throwing, to pulling the string, to the mechanism, people have continuously improved their skills and finally made such a lethal weapon in this era.

But such a creation, which condenses I don't know how many years and wisdom, was actually used to kill its creators.

What does this explain?"

"Don't try to change the subject to blur your crimes!" Lideyala's sharp gaze always followed Ke Laoer's movement, and another short crossbow had already appeared in her sleeve.

"No, I am not guilty."

Ke Laoer smiled, stuffed the crossbow back to Lideyala, and said seriously in the face of the other party's stunned expression:

"The one who killed Esares wasn't me; that was a frame-up."

Lideyala's pupils shrank. She certainly knew it was a frame-up, but she thought it was Ke Laoer framing Altayle, so that he and the Grand Executioner would both suffer, so that he could achieve his ulterior motives.

But looking at Ke Laoer's reaction at this time, he actually denied it?

The High Inquisitor who had the victory in his hands didn't seem to have the need to deny it. Lideyala didn't come here to live and bring the truth out to the public.

She had long been prepared to sacrifice. Facing Ke Laoer, who controlled the entire Iron Law Knight Order, she had no chance of winning at all. What she sought was just not wanting to die without knowing why under the final gaze of 【Order】.

"You're lying!

Ke Laoer, we have worked together for many years. I have always regarded you as a senior, a role model, and a model. And you, you don't even want to give me an answer, a truth, before I die!?"

Lideyala's voice was somewhat indignant. She seemed to feel she wasn't wrong, but the Master of Deception told Cheng Shi that Ke Laoer wasn't lying.

People, he didn't kill them.

This is interesting. This means that the Grand Executioner Altayle, who was the only one guarding Katerou Court, was not a simple character either. At least he saw through Ke Laoer's thoughts and used Lideyala's hand to remove this "only remaining and only opponent."

His perspective was one level higher than the Grand Investigator's.

Ke Laoer smiled and walked back behind the long table, pushed the other self off the chair, sat down again, rested his elbows on the table, shook his head, and said:

"I gave you the answer, but you didn't believe it.

It's a pity that the Sword of Judgment wasn't brought out by me, otherwise, you could pick it up and ask me if I lied.

But you weren't wrong either. There might not be a real answer in this world. At this time, wouldn't I want an answer too?

But this answer, who can give it to me?"

Lideyala was stunned. Although Ke Laoer's true feelings didn't look fake, she still couldn't believe that the diligent and dutiful Lord Altayle would be a power-seeking person who played with people's hearts.

Could it be that the current confrontation was all calculated by him?

Lideyala fell silent. After a long time, she put away her crossbow, and said in a deep voice with a complex expression:

"Why abandon 【Order】!"

Ke Laoer shook his head again: "Lideyala, don't make yourself look so ignorant. It is 【Order】 that abandoned us, not us that abandoned 【Order】."

"But you knew it had a problem, and you turned away and avoided it. Isn't this blasphemy!?"

"Why not help it?

Why not remind us?

Why must you drag it until things are irreversible, watching with your own eyes the 【Order】 nation that generations of judgment courts worked hard to build collapse!?"

"High Inquisitor, answer me, give me your excuse for defense."

Ke Laoer looked at Lideyala, whose eyes were red, sighed, and said slowly:

"Sorry, Grand Investigator, I don't think I need to defend myself, because I have never abandoned 【Order】.

No matter what kind of glory the Grand Court of Judgment has experienced, no matter how pious you and I, including believers everywhere, are, we must recognize one point, and that is that all this is the practice of mortal life on the will of 【Order】.

But now, it is not us who are no longer practicing the will of 【Order】, but Him.

So, why can an 【Order】 that is no longer orderly still be called 【Order】!?"

"Ke Laoer, you!!??"

This was no longer a simple blasphemous word; this was simply pressing 【Order】 to the ground and insulting it.

This scene, placed on the Continent of Hope, which has always been fanatical about gods, had a blasphemy intensity no less than Cheng Shi sticking his face to 【Annihilation】 and spraying flowers.

Even Cheng Shi didn't expect this High Inquisitor to be a fellow traveler, but how did he dare?

Do you also have a patron called 【Deception】 to protect you?

That was clearly not the case.

Ke Laoer also said that he dared to blaspheme 【Order】 like this not because he abandoned 【Order】, but because he felt that his piety to 【Order】 had never changed.

"Since 【Order】 is no longer there, why don't we, who are lost on the road, unite and recreate a new... 【Order】?"

"You... are crazy..." Lideyala was already shocked by this blasphemous argument and couldn't speak. "He is a god, a patron, the foundation of civilization. Do you think it's the High Inquisitor's seat under your feet that can be infinitely rotated!!?"

"If the believers who practice the will of 【Order】 can be changed, then why can't the subject of the will of 【Order】 be changed?"

"You still say you are not blaspheming!"

"It was never us who blasphemed the faith, it was Him!

It was 【Order】 that personally blasphemed the piety of these hundreds of millions of people. Now, the piety of the people is gathered in the wrong direction. As long as we correct it, the faith of the entire continent might be able to create a new 【Order】.

This is what I am doing right now.

I have never abandoned 【Order】, I am just saving faith.

For this, I have a clear conscience."

"..."

The room was silent for a long time, and even the two onlookers were infected by the atmosphere of the confrontation and remained silent. After a long time, Lideyala walked out of the initial shock and suddenly sneered with a mocking expression.

"Why must it be creation, instead of correction?

Heh, Ke Laoer, don't tell me that the new 【Order】 you want to build is yourself?"

"..."

Ke Laoer fell silent. He didn't respond to the Grand Investigator's questioning, but silently took out a broken branch from the drawer under the table and placed it on the table.

All eyes at the scene were attracted by that branch, and when the two players saw it, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they said in unison:

"Fear Mother Tree?"

"Lele'er..."

Cheng Shi's expression changed, and he quietly pinched the Bone Servant Atoner's descendant ring between his fingers. ===== CHAPTER 931 =====
