Page 123 [The Victory of the Paranoid]
I need to talk about something with Murphy and Chen Senran.
The only intersection between Chen Senran and Murphy is Demacia and the war in the north. Judging from the fact that Karsus was able to intercept Chen Senran's carriage and sneak into his team, Karsus' intelligence is absolutely top-notch.
There is no doubt that he knows everything, so it is easy to infer that Karsus wants to talk about northern affairs, that is, he wants to form an alliance with Demacia and get involved in northern affairs.
"Your claws have stretched a little too long, Mr. Karsus." Murphy still crossed his hands and said in a calm tone, "What's more, do you think I will believe you?"
"Of course not. If it's normal, the moment the two of us meet will definitely be when one of us dies." Karsus didn't mind Murphy's attitude of being thousands of miles away, "That's why I spent so much time
I put so much thought into why I meet you in this way."
"Actually, it's no different. I'm just giving you some time to say your last words." Murphy lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "It's almost time now."
"No, no, no... it's still a little bit worse, because Mr. Chen Senran is here." Karsus laughed and waved his finger, which was wrapped in a thick glove and should be rotten flesh inside, "Mr. Chen Senran, you
Is that right?"
Murphy glanced at Chen Senran with some confusion, frowned and said: "Mr. Chen Senran, you... Sir Galen only said that you should go to the north smoothly." He paused mid-sentence, and Chen Senran used his feet.
I have thought about it, and what the other party wants to say is that you are not so ignorant that you have reached an agreement with Karthus in advance?
But it was obvious that Galen was very proud, and Murphy spoke very implicitly.
"You have to know that I was coerced all the way here. How could I have a good talk with Mr. Karsus?" Chen Senran touched his nose and said helplessly. This sentence clarified himself, but at the same time, it also gave Karl
Saas left a way out, he actually vaguely guessed something.
"Don't put it in such a bad way, in fact we get along very happily, don't we?" Karsus laughed, the laughter was extremely harsh, as if it came from the chest directly through the bones, "I also told you
What’s the story?”
He mentioned the story. In fact, even if Karsus didn't mention the story, Chen Senran already understood what he meant. The old guy kept hinting that he had a problem along the way, leading him in the direction he wanted, and then
He told himself a story, implying that he was Karsus. Firstly, it was to warn him not to think about escaping and lead the way. Secondly, he really wanted to tell the story...
"Yes, he told me a story, Mr. Murphy." Chen Senran smiled and accepted what Karsus said. This was consistent with his guess. Karsus wanted to use himself as a mouthpiece.
, he wanted to pass on the information in the story to him, including that he was a Demacian, that he was actually cursed, that he loved Elena deeply... In short, he wanted to tell Gao Jushang that he actually had no ill intentions.
Headed by Murphy.
Even though Murphy was just sitting on it.
"Tell me about it." The middle-aged Demacia general was noncommittal. He separated his crossed hands and knocked on the table three times. He glanced at Karsus, who was still sitting there as if he had a chance to win. He thought about this old man.
No matter what, this guy can't fly, so he couldn't help but want to hear this so-called story.
Normally, he would never have that Noxian time.
So in the next magical hour, Chen Senran told the story of Karsus in full and vividly, and even because of his excellent language organization and logic skills, he told the story even more excitingly.
, more gripping, and the ending is even more sad.
"Is that so?" Murphy had no reaction to this story that he should have listened to with great interest. He still had a noncommittal and calm expression. He tapped his finger on the table three more times, "You want to say, you are like this?"
The massacre that has been going on for hundreds of years is actually just because we disturbed your woman's rest, and you actually have no ill intentions?"
"General Murphy, you are indeed the person I admire. You are so smart." Karsus nodded, still looking calm and indifferent.
"Now you suddenly want to compromise with us... Why didn't you come before?" Murphy's question was still very sharp. Although he accepted Karsus' goodwill, he did not trust his sincerity.
"I don't want to come." Karsus' answer made Murphy speechless.
"Of course... more importantly, the reason why I came here this time is because I got some premonitions." Karsus did not wait for Murphy to continue asking this time, "You know I used to study space magic. Hundreds of
I have finally made some progress over the years, but in recent years I have felt uneasy. The world will undergo terrible changes and may even be destroyed, especially recently."
"So you think you may no longer be able to protect this land?" Murphy is obviously a very smart man. "You want to get Demacia's help to... save the world?"
"Strictly speaking, that seems to be the case." Karsus smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"You are so great." Murphy sneered and mocked, he still couldn't believe the other party.
The people who have been killing people who entered the swamp for hundreds of years were just because the woman they loved died here, and now they suddenly come here and tell themselves that they are no longer playing, surrendering, and want to cooperate because he wants to save the world.
Such jumping thoughts, such neurotic logic. What kind of paranoia is this?
Murphy couldn't understand, so he said.
"Are you wasting my time?" The middle-aged Demacia general frowned again. His calm face became sharp and angular because of the anger hidden in his words, and it looked like a lion's roar.
severe.
Karsus did not react at all to Murphy's anger. He said word for word: "Actually, if I blow myself up, everyone here will die, and then the Noxians can occupy this important road and completely cut off the Germans."
Due to the connection between Marcia and the north, those people will become a lonely army. It is absolutely impossible for Demacia to gather 5,000 people to capture this place in a short period of time. Those people will definitely die. After that, Demacia will all die."
"You're threatening me." Murphy suddenly stood up, pulled out the exquisite long sword placed on the shelf behind him, and pointed the blade straight at Karsus. The cold sword energy aroused Karsus.
The black gauze vaguely revealed his face with distinct bones and flesh.
"I'm threatening you," Karthus said.
The atmosphere in the tent was a little stagnant. Murphy held his sword and faced off against Karthus for a quarter of an hour, and then he laughed and put away the sword.
"I have to say, Mr. Karsus, your patience is really top-notch. You win." Murphy returned to the main seat, "Now we can talk about cooperation."
This is a battle between momentum, just like two swords clashing. In the final tug of war, Karthus' paranoia defeated Murphy's calmness.
So, sometimes, only the paranoid can succeed.
