Chapter 117:
Probably because it tasted good, Cao Cao unexpectedly joined the ranks of enjoying sushi.
Because the consumer price of this store is too high, there are not many customers who come to patronize. Several young people are chatting in twos and threes, all of which are fashionable young men.
"Before talking about other things, I would like to thank you for helping us get rid of Matthew. After all, if he escaped, we would also be worried."
Although I don't know whether Cao Cao is an enemy or a friend, he killed Matthew and helped Roman to get out of his confidant, and he should be grateful.
But in this way, when eating the sushi in my hand, I will feel a little guilty.
"This is actually our internal problem. Killing Matthew should be regarded as our apology. Besides, I don't believe that this knight is by your side. You still need to worry about a small role like Matthew."
"It's overrated, that warrior is also a warrior worth fighting for."
It's a polite compliment. Roman is not very clear about whether Matthew is strong enough or not, but Lancelot still slashed and killed Brady with one enemy and two, which shows that Lancelot's martial arts are far superior to them, so Lancelot Lott's compliment is more of a victor's show.
Didn't expect you to be such a Lancelot.
"Wait, you said just now, this is your internal conflict?" Roman looked at Cao Cao in surprise, "Could it be that Matthew and Brady were once members of the 'Hero Faction'?"
Cao Cao nodded, his appearance made it impossible to see what he was thinking.
"Matthew and Brady were once members of the 'Hero Faction', to be precise, my subordinates, but unfortunately they defected from the 'Hero Faction' two months ago. As former bosses, I have the responsibility to deal with this situation. The thing, um, is to eliminate the traitors myself. But I seem to be a step late, and when I catch up, Brady has been killed, and I only have time to kill Matthew who escaped."
Tsk, this is really complicated enough, I didn't expect it to involve a novel-like plot.
After the traitor escaped from the organization, he was chased and killed by his boss. His companion sacrificed his life to let him escape, but was finally found by the boss of the organization. Roman felt that if Matthew hadn't happened to be caught by Cao Cao, he might have become the hero in the novel.
In this way, a lot of things can make sense.
Although Matthew and Brady have betrayed the "hero faction", they have not yet reached the level known to passers-by. They suddenly attacked Roman who had nothing to do with the "hero faction" and was killed, and the innocent victim Roman was very It is possible to put this account on the head of the "hero faction". That's why Cao Cao decisively sent the spear to Roman's house after killing Matthew, in order to put aside the relationship between the attack and the "hero faction".
This is the sincerity that Cao Cao said, it is really heavy.
"Why did they attack me? Didn't you say it? They have already betrayed the 'hero faction'. Although they were hunted down by you, they could be said to be half-free. Is it because of the artifact in my body?"
"It's not that they saw the artifact on you, but other people saw the artifact on you, and Matthew and Brady were just hired to bring your body back."
"—"
who is it?
Roman thought that he didn't have a grudge with outsiders, and would not be hated to the point of killing him quickly, but he didn't expect to be targeted by others because of the divine weapon, and Cao Cao's meaning was very obvious, the other party had already targeted Roman , and the goal is clear.
Also, when did the thing being targeted start? Who are the other people?
"It's a fallen angel."
Cao Cao did not intend to continue to whet his appetite, and gave the answer to the question very directly.
"Fallen Angel..."
"That's right, it's a fallen angel. The leader of the fallen angel, the governor of the 'Overseer of the Son of God', is a person who is very interested in artifacts, and when he sees a special artifact, he will take it and study it. But this Whether it's just pure interest or planning to study artifacts to enhance the power of the Fallen Angels is unknown, but in my opinion the latter are mostly the latter. Obviously, I don't know when it happened, and the Fallen Angels' power in the human world discovered You can pick up the artifact that resides on you, and report it to Asazel, but because Azazel can't come to the human world in person, he can only hire outlaws to do this dirty work. From their proficiency Look, it shouldn't be the first time that this kind of thing has happened. You should already know about Matthew and Brady's failure and killing. As for whether Asachel will continue to send people over to find you, it depends on Let's see if he is still interested in your artifact."
- Yes, he will not give up.
Roman said in his heart, he was very convinced that Azazel would not give up the "artifact" on Roman.
As the leader of the fallen angels, Azazel must be very powerful, and as a fallen angel, its predecessor is naturally an angel. There is no such thing as an artifact on Roman's body at all, but because Mr. Big Light Ball is hiding inside, others mistake it for a boarding artifact. But this didn't stop Azazel from attaching importance to Roman's "artifact", because it was the power of light, the power of God.
Angels who once served God must be very familiar with the power of God. Even if they have fallen into fallen angels, this familiarity cannot disappear. When Asachel learned about Mr. Big Ball of Light that Roman was hiding, he would definitely take away Mr. Big Ball of Light, so that he could gain an advantage in the forces of "Angel-Demon-Fallen Angel".
Looks like big trouble is coming. If the other party is a human, Roman can at least have a good discussion with the "same clan" as a link, just like the current Cao Cao, although the relationship between the two is unknown, but at least they can sit down and chat slowly in a friendly atmosphere.
If the other party is an angel, let alone an angel. According to Mr. Daguangqiu, angels are a group of idiots with good personalities. As long as they do not encounter mortal enemies such as demons or betrayers such as fallen angels, they can If you sit down and have a good chat, you will never do it.
Only demons and fallen angels...
It should be fortunate that the forces among others are complicated. If not, Roman felt that Asachel had already brought his troops to fight.
"It seems that you already understand the seriousness of the problem, so save me the effort of continuing to explain. Your artifact should be the ability to communicate or control the dead."
Cao Cao glanced at Lancelot in front of him. Although he knew that Roman had hidden "artifacts" and even possessed "rare artifacts" that the Fallen Angel Governor would not hesitate to hire human powerhouses to **** them, Cao Cao himself did not have the ability to see through the essence of "artifacts". Roman's ability to show up makes Cao Cao misunderstand that Roman's artifact is the ability to target a dead influence like Lancelot.
"If you use it properly, you might be able to create a group of heroes. It's no wonder that Azazel cares so much."
No, you guessed it wrong, I don't have this ability at all, and I don't have an artifact at all.
However, this misunderstanding will let Cao Cao continue to misunderstand. Roman can't correct him and tell him that he has no divine weapon at all, just a big ball of light hidden.
"It's really helpful. If you hadn't come to explain it, I wouldn't know that I'd be in trouble."
"It doesn't matter. Actually, this time, besides apologizing to you for Matthew and Brady, I have one other thing to do."
Another thing?
Whether it's the "Hero Faction" or Cao Cao's, it has nothing to do with Roman. Since it is mentioned here on purpose, does it mean——
"Are you interested in joining our 'hero faction'?"
"Actually, this is the real reason why you are looking for me, right?"
Approach Roman and gain Roman's goodwill; tell Roman that he is being targeted by fallen angels, and let Roman know that he is in crisis; finally, he proposes an invitation to the organization, and when Roman thinks he has nothing to do, he can escape from the crisis. The way of life.
This is almost a perfect solicitation plan. Both the rhetoric and the steps are seamless. At least Roman feels that if he is really just an ordinary human with an artifact, he really can't find any other way to avoid the fallen angel, and then Without hesitation, he turned to the "hero faction". Of course, the premise is that Roman is just an ordinary person with an artifact, not a humanoid with the ability to link the beginning and the end of the infinite world with the ability to link the beginning and the end of the infinite world with Mr. Orb of Light.
"It's just to let you understand your situation before making a decision. If you don't know anything, you may lose your life when you are confused."
But after understanding the situation, you will walk into your trap, right?
No, it's too much to describe it as "trap". Cao Cao should not have concealed and deceived Roman, because the friendship obtained by concealment and deception cannot be long-term, and it is impossible for him to deceive a person forever. Otherwise, the defection of Matthew and Brady is bound to happen again.

Chapter 207 Chapter 46 The Death of God
"Before I answer, can you tell me what kind of organization the 'Hero Faction' is?"
"'Heroic faction'...Let's not mention other places for the time being. The 'heroic faction' is mainly a place where the descendants of a group of heroes gather, and there are people who hold the power of artifacts."
"What do you mean by 'not mentioning other places'? And I'd like to know what you guys with the power of the artifact are doing when you gather together."
Cao Cao froze suddenly, not knowing what he was thinking, but Roman did not urge him.
After a long time, Cao Cao said: "If I say it is for human beings, would you believe it?"
"Don't ask me to believe you or not, at least try to convince me."
It was such a high-level reason at the beginning, no matter who would feel that "he is lying". But for the sake of Cao Cao's sincerity, let's just listen to him and continue.
However, Cao Cao began to talk about the complicated situation in the human world.
In fact, I probably heard some of these from Mr. Daguangqiu's mouth, but because Roman didn't take the initiative to understand, there were only vague impressions in the end. But after speaking from Cao Cao's mouth, Roman really understood the complexity of the human world and the position of human beings in all forces.
Compared with other races, humans have always been in a weak position, which Roman has always been aware of. There is neither a long lifespan nor the innate talent inscribed in the blood and soul. If you do not master the use of various tools, even a beast with undeveloped intelligence cannot be defeated. If you only compare it with the body, the human body may be. At the bottom of the world.
However, humans are worthy of being primates. After a long period of development, after generations of development and inheritance, human beings have finally become the strongest race on earth. Perhaps the human body is still weak, but the world cannot be compared only with the body, and there are many comprehensive abilities combined.
Wisdom, technology, and the unity of mankind, this is the way for mankind to become the hegemon of the earth.
However, what happens when humans encounter primates from another world?
Let's not mention it too far, let's talk about the three races of the "Bible", angels, fallen angels, and demons.
Not only do they have a strong physique and wisdom that is not inferior to that of human beings, but because of the experience brought by their long lifespan, they are much stronger than humans in all aspects. Whether individually or as a group, humans are powerless in the face of these races. If it weren't for the complexity of the human world, perhaps human beings have already become slaves of other races. From this perspective, it is a lucky thing that human beings can become the overlords of the earth in these years.
"If not a thousand years ago, the God of the Bible led angels to wage war against demons and fallen angels, resulting in countless casualties among the three tribes, and even God was killed on the battlefield, perhaps the human world has become a subordinate branch of heaven's shelter. ."
"What? God...die on the battlefield?"
Roman's face was in disbelief, his face was full of shock, his eyes widened at Cao Cao, and he unconsciously repeated what he just said.
Perhaps it was Roman's shock that made Cao Cao very satisfied, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he nodded.
"Surprised, right? This is not a news that everyone knows, the demons of the new generation are not qualified to know, nor do the angels and fallen angels who did not participate in the war a thousand years ago, let alone other gods. I got this news in a very unexpected situation, and then I finally understand why the biblical theology is not active in the human world, and I have to say that I live in a very lucky era."
At the end of the speech, Cao Cao sneered, and the laughter was full of biting coldness.
Cao Cao still thought that Roman was shocked by the news of God's death, but he didn't know that the reason why Roman was shocked was not God's death, but the reason why God died.
Did God not die by sealing the nameless beast, but on the battlefield?
Regarding the God of the Bible-God is dead, Roman has always been very clear, because Mr. Big Ball of Light hidden in Roman is the wreckage of the dead God, and now he can't even take a bubble. Observing secretly, it occasionally appeared in Roman's dream, and it has been in a state of being half-dead. It even made it clear to Roman that it could no longer be alive.
But why should it deceive him. Mr. Daguangqiu said that he died to seal the nameless giant beast, why are some people now saying that God died in the field?
Roman couldn't figure out who was real and who was fake.
Logically speaking, Mr. Daguangqiu, as a dying god, can even be said to be a dead god, his words should not be false. But Cao Cao didn't need to deceive Roman, because Cao Cao's understanding of him left the ordinary life on the surface, he didn't know anything about Roman's essence, and Mr. Daguangqiu hidden in Roman's body, and he didn't spread false information at all. necessary.
There is no need for the two of them to lie, but their words are contradictory, which means that there is a lie among them.
Who on earth is it?
It's really hateful, although he has eyes that can see through the trajectory of time, but Roman is too weak, even Mr. Big Light Ball, who only has the wreckage, still can't see through.
If from the beginning, Mr. Daguangqiu began to deceive him four years ago...
Roman couldn't imagine it.
"Akiman, what are you thinking?"
"Sorry... this news is so shocking."
"It doesn't matter. When I first heard the news, I was shocked by it for a long time. It's normal for you to be surprised."
There was already a small plate on the table in front of Cao Cao. It seemed that while Roman was shocked, he had already eaten another piece of sushi, which meant that Roman had been shocked by this information for a long time.
He was not angry because Roman was distracted. On the contrary, Cao Cao was very considerate and tolerant of Roman's rudeness.
Don't worry about anything else, just from this one, Cao Cao is definitely worthy of the same name as his ancestors.
Roman temporarily suppressed the shock and doubts about the information just now to the bottom of his heart, and now he should focus on Cao Cao.
"This is a good opportunity, Akiman. The human world is intricate, the gods are on the decline, and the various races have become exhausted in the war. Only the human race thrives in the chaos. This is the best opportunity for mankind. Among the conflicts and restraints of various races, there is a great opportunity to stand out and become the hegemon of a world. Think about it, Akiman, before us, our ancestors have been oppressed by foreign races, and human beings can only survive in the cracks of various races. , I finally waited for such an opportunity. As a part of human beings with power (artifacts), shouldn't we contribute to the prosperity of human beings? You should become a strong man who controls your own destiny.”
well said! But am I human?
To be honest, Cao Cao's words made Roman's blood boil, and there was a great urge to rise up against fate. But soon his enthusiasm cooled as he found himself not in the position to do so.
First of all, he is not a human being, at best he is only a humanoid. Secondly, Roman's identity is actually very embarrassing. He is not from this world, and he does not know how long he can stay in this world. I am afraid that he will suddenly disappear that day. Most importantly, Roman is not alone, she also has a lovely daughter.
He is not afraid of death, but he has to think about Xiao Zi's comfort. Although Xiao Zi has been infected with Roman's existence characteristics, it does not mean that Roman is willing to put Xiao Zi into crisis. It is as if the injured person will not die, but no one is willing to cut his finger with a knife. Furthermore, from the fact that Xiao Zi is only a gap monster and can become a special monster through Roman's existence, although Roman's existence has been separated from Akasha, there are flaws in other angles.
What's more, what about Xiao Zi?
"Allow me to think again."
Roman said, while watching Cao Cao's expression change.
But in the end, I couldn't see anything, and I didn't know whether Roman's ability to observe words was too poor, or whether Cao Cao was too good at hiding.
"I was ready for rejection before coming because I could see that you prefer a quiet life to our lives dealing with death. You didn't reject me outright, for me It's a good result."
It seems that Cao Cao's investigation of him is not simple. At least he knows Roman's life tendency very well. He even thinks that Cao Cao may have investigated his life in the past four years.
In fact, Roman had already been moved just now. Cao Cao's remarks made his heart still unable to calm down. If he hadn't calmed down in time, if he hadn't had a daughter at home, Roman would have agreed to Cao Cao's invitation now.
It's not wrong to yearn for a peaceful life, but it's actually quite normal to be attracted by the great cause that seems to usher in a new era.
Although Roman is not a real human, how much difference is there with humans?
He has the same blood as human beings, and lives in the human world with a human attitude, and has always called himself a human. Although that shocking origin is unacceptable, it seems that it has become less special in this world. In this world where gods are flying all over the sky and heroes are walking everywhere, anything can happen, even if it is difficult to understand for a while, it will feel normal after a long time.
"Please let me think about it again."
Roman wanted to end the topic because he was afraid of further persuasion from Cao Cao, and he would agree to Cao Cao's invitation on a whim.
If that were the case, it would be fatal.
Chapter 208 Chapter 47
"It doesn't matter, I can still afford to wait for this time. Liu Bei can still pay attention to the thatched cottage. Although I don't think I can match the benevolence of Duke Xuande, I am still willing to spend a little time on talents."
Cao Cao didn't have any aggressive plans. He was very lenient in giving Roman time to think about it, and he also understood that this important matter should not be answered immediately.
Really happy words. Although Cao Cao thought that he was inferior to Liu Xuande, his words made people feel that he was using Zhuge Kongming to describe Roman. Although he knew it was not the same, it was inevitable that he would feel sad.
