Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

"A person tries his best to cut off the relationship and uses pollution, madness and necessity to escape the killings in his later years..."

"The other frankly admitted all his blood debt and didn't take it seriously at all: Yes, tell me again what you accused me of, it is absolutely correct. 1.4 million lives, I like this number."

“Isn’t it obvious at a glance who is truly human?”

"...There is so much humanity, Your Majesty. But what the gods need is not Huang Tao. How long will you play Huang Tao, Consul, Caesar, Tyrant, Slayer, Black Emperor, the great Russell Gustave? "

————

Before we start talking about the greatest emperor and the craziest count in the history of Intis, we must know a premise: the two kings were hostile to each other and sarcastic about each other, but they believed in each other more than anyone else under certain circumstances. When you can pay enough, the devil is the best deal in the world. Russell had no doubt that Edward would betray him, unless the devil had never been loyal in the first place. Edward never believed that Russell would reject him, because his great deeds and goals had already transcended the scope of mortals. Only he could put on sale products that matched his ambitions in a timely manner, and their relationship seemed so close and inseparable.

Of course, the young man is full of pride, just like all the time-travel novels in the old era. Even though most readers think that if they travel to the past, they will die in various ways, but Huang Tao Russell, who is young and had no ambition in his previous life, is so confident.

He indeed had the confidence to do so. With the help of the magic potion of "The Enlightenment", he gradually turned the great crystallizations of human civilization in the old era into reality. If most of the inventors and great people on earth stand on the shoulders of giants, then Russell stands on the heads of a group of Jenga giants. The books he has read, the plays and music he has listened to, the models he has played with, and the thermal weapons and mechanical illustrations he has studied due to his hobbies have all become the ladder for him to gain status in this era. He knows what he knows, acts for his own reputation and a better life, and dreams of laying a mark on the earth in this foreign land.

And the devil also came at this time.

The god walking on the earth noticed the vitality of the dead civilization, so he discovered Huang Tao. Which god worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of years to send this misfit soul to the present world? What benefits can this soul bring to itself?

And before Roselle started running wildly on the road of destruction at three times the speed of his own, it could be said that He didn't have a good impression of him at all. There are many reasons, such as personalities that are incompatible with each other at all, such as having no expectations or interest in the human race. Of course, the most important factor is that he has never used his true face to get along with him. Who would treat a person who was deceived by him in the early stage and in the middle stage? What is the interest of those who covet their own power and the huge benefits it can bring to him, and then begin to restrict and suppress him in the later stage?

If Edward Vaughn were a real angel, he would definitely be angry and dissatisfied for a long time. With the character of a devil, it would not be surprising if he suddenly went crazy and fought back. But the Decline King didn't take it seriously. Just as Roselle, who had become Sequence One, began to mention the name of the devil in a somewhat contemptuous tone in private meetings that excluded him. The Decline King also calmly appreciated it from a higher perspective. Russell's performance, enjoy this farce.

But if you say you care, that's a lie.

Hobbies and work must be counted separately.

It was impossible for Roselle to find the Sefirah. The generalist path had no interest in him. He was just an excellent employee who helped him hone his acting skills. He would no longer be needed after helping him hone his acting skills. But he really didn't expect that Roselle would be able to shine so brightly after becoming the Black Emperor. If his capital for becoming a consul was four points political talent and six points plagiarism, then the Black Emperor was basically his birthright. He has the courage, cruelty and selfishness to become a ruler.

As we all know, what the Blood Duke needed was a dukedom, but the Black Emperor only gave him a count. The position of Earl of the Palace is a wonderful irony beyond words. The emperor does not trust you, but he needs you.

Now back to before their break-up as if their relationship was as good as it could have been. It is impossible for any gambler to make a million-dollar bet the first time he enters the casino. The transaction between Russell and Edward was just a pen at the beginning: Russell got tired of writing with quills and "invented" Edward bought a pen, and Edward happened to see it, so he invested in the pen industry, allowing Russell to make a little money.

A piece of biscuit, a piece of cabbage and pork dumplings, and a plate of fried shredded pork with green pepper.

The victory of a conflict, the survival of a city of 400,000 people, and a large-scale economic crisis that brought down countries other than Intis.

Edward can always find the products that Russell needs most and give them the right price. For him, this is as simple as giving a glass of water to a thirsty person or a pillow to a sleepy person. You can not buy victory in a large war, but only choose an important turning point battle to defeat your opponent. The devil will not make fun of your stingy behavior, but will happily accept the souls and lives of those who died in vain. So you seem to have paid nothing, but won the final victory. All the books emphasize again and again that you cannot trust the devil, because no one can resist the frosting poison from the devil.

"One hundred thousand casualties at one time? You really have enough to eat." Russell crossed his legs and opened the battle report, smacking his lips, "You must be lying to me, right? You are actually a cold-blooded murderer on earth. Guilty?"

Edward replied: "After time travel, do you have to be a human being?"

Russell: "Did you directly travel through time and become a demon? How exciting."

This result is exactly what Edward wants. Interest is the strongest chain that binds them together, and common origin is Russell's life-saving straw. When Russell was in his twenties, their conversations rarely included the customs and customs of Earth, and they occasionally complained about the backward technology and the meager entertainment activities here. When Russell was in his forties, his children appeared in the conversation, mostly Bernadette and Charles, as well as Bonois, who frowned and dissatisfied whenever he mentioned them.

At this time, judging from their appearance alone, they were already the same age.

Russell liked to think a lot, and talked about how many fun and delicious things she would buy for her children if they were born on earth. At one moment, she said that she wanted to buy the best for her baby girl Bernadette, and at the next moment, she reflected on whether she was not enough. To be fair, is it too biased? Ciel would show a disappointed expression every time he looked at his sister. It's not that he doesn't want to stay with them, but that he is really busy. As the eldest son, Charles should be more sensible. Like Bernadette, Bonois never complains that his father comes back too late or doesn't play with him... …As he spoke, Russell became angry again. Irritably dropped the glass and walked in circles in the garden.

Edward watched him spinning in circles, spinning Russell before turning to him, and asked him half drunk and half awake: "Bonova was born as a Sequence 5. When he reaches the right age, the Church of Steam will definitely send someone to make him a Sequence 5." Demigod. My son has to lose part of his humanity before he can understand what a human is. The God of Steam is really good at planning! Is there anything you can do?"

"Yes, I have."

The devil said: "I can make his strength weaken, his self-awareness strengthen, and he becomes precocious and more like an ordinary child. What can you give me?"

Mr. Gustav was silent for a moment. He sat down again and looked at the blood-red moon in the sky. The drunkenness in him gradually disappeared without a trace. He narrowed his eyes and answered in a very calm tone:

"Since the fifth era, you haven't had much chance to digest the magic potion."

The conversation ended here, and neither of them understood the other's meaning immediately without further communication. Russell wanted his young son to become ordinary, so he chose to sacrifice the lives of countless children and their parents in exchange for what he wanted with the devil, and by the way, he used their corpses to build the ladder he wanted. This is to make the best use of everything. Politics is like a novel. The death of some people will make the world a better place. Since people are destined to die, let the dead people play the role of promoting the development of the plot, so that their death will not seem useless.

The next day, Russell saw that Bonova had changed from his usual cold and distant behavior, and became a little friendlier. He got closer to the playmate she had assigned him, and the two children played with building blocks together.

Bernadette stood far behind the door and peeked. Charles's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that this was his brother. After he got closer, he heard his youngest son timidly call him: "Father?"

Russell's eyes were hot and she almost shed tears.

The devil keeps his promise so much, so naturally he can't break his promise. Speech tours, mobilization rallies, private deals and various actions were carried out in advance. Within a few months, the entire Intis Kingdom was plunged into a frenzy of preparations for war. The call for Russell Gustav to become king became more and more intense. Come higher and higher. At the end of the year, Russell launched a coup, completely overthrowing the Sauron dynasty, transforming the country into a republic, and personally visited the throne and became the consul.

The following year, Consul Gustavus announced a campaign against Loen.

………………

Since the inauguration of Edward Vaughn as Supreme Inquisitor of the Republic of Intis, there have been far fewer whines in the country's courts and prisons than before. He has the ultimate pursuit of efficiency, and seems to have a pair of eyes that can directly tell whether a person is guilty or not. The interval from trial to execution is getting shorter and shorter, and finally it even reaches the point where the presiding judge announces direct execution at a glance. Defying the law but never seeming to go wrong. He seems to have no mercy for anyone, and just mechanically implements the contents of the code.

According to legend, Miss Bernadette once personally asked her father for a prisoner, but received her friend's head at noon that day.

After a guillotine was broken in the execution ground, His Excellency the Archon introduced the most efficient tool, the "guillotine." The wide blade and the cold light made the officials present feel heartbroken. They couldn't help but imagine themselves being held on top of it and their heads cut off by the sword. But the consul and the presiding judge smiled at each other and whispered to each other, as if they were some fun toys. Their reactions were more terrifying than the blades.

So the presiding judge simply set up a table next to the guillotine and "worked" while flipping through the files. Heads of all sizes rolled down at his feet, and splashes of blood splashed onto his cheeks and collar. He calmly read out hundreds of names one by one without changing his expression, without even moving his eyebrows. In the end, the long street and the hem of his clothes were dyed red with bright red blood.

In the consul's office, Russell met the presiding judge and asked displeasedly: "Why did you kill Bernadette's friend?"

Edward replied: "He heard our plans for the Southern Continent."

"so?"

"He was the eldest son of a superior senator and advocated the abolition of slavery."

Russell nodded, then stopped mentioning the kind young man, and started thinking about how to comfort his sad daughter. In His hand lay a letter from a nascent charity writing to the Archon in the hope of receiving some assistance. Russell thought for a while and decided to allocate some money. He quickly finished writing the note, turned around and saw Edward still standing in front of him, and couldn't help but be curious: "Aren't you very busy? What else is there?"

"I'm thinking about the Southern Continent."

Edward asked: "Do you really want to implement colonial rule?"

Russell found it very strange to be asked this question by people from the old capitalist countries on earth. This was what the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was best at, but it had always been reprimanded in his history textbooks.

"I thought you should hate this kind of behavior." Edward looked at Russell. At this moment, Russell felt as if he had become another person, asking with a scrutinizing look and a overlooking attitude. Because there was no disgust or affirmation in Edward's tone, nothing at all, "What's more, after you opened a new channel to the Southern Continent, a large number of merchants immediately went to this land to look for business opportunities, plus slavery... said To be blunt, do you even want to recreate the Triangular Trade here?"

"What does it matter? This is the necessary bloodshed for the development of civilization." Russell frowned, not caring, "The history of the earth also developed in this way. In the end, didn't the African people successfully become independent?"

"Besides, Intis is full of martial arts. If we don't fight and conquer cities, our preparations will be defeated. War costs so much, so it doesn't matter if we borrow the gold and land of the Southern Continent."

Edward looked at Him.

The Decline King looked at the human.

"What a wonderful idea, I like it very much." The devil said, "Of course I am subject to His Majesty's request. According to our plan, I will confiscate all the homes of the great nobles, and I will pay for next year's military and administrative expenses. It’s more than enough, and I’ve eliminated almost all the voices that oppose you. You can fight whenever and wherever you want.”

"That's right. Fenebaud has surrendered. Once Roen and Feysac are defeated by me, the next step is to conquer the Southern Continent."

Russell also relaxed and, as usual, told jokes that only each other could understand: "You are too young to call yourself Caesar. You should call me Napoleon or Alexander the Great! By the way, when it comes to comprador companies and colonization, it's you. I understand better, and I will leave the follow-up operations of this part to you... The East India Company, Balam in the Southern Continent is located southwest of Intis, so how about simply establishing a West Balam Company? Lay gas pipelines and build houses for the locals. and cities, open schools, and give them some of the civilization of the Northern Continent, that should be enough.”

"...They will be grateful to you," Edward said, "just like the black tribes back then."

"I don't want to hear words like triangular trade anymore." Russell said this seemingly casually, then called Edward to come closer, and leaned very relaxedly on the soft high-backed chair, looking like a He looked completely undefended and said with a smile, "It always feels like a strategy game. Have you ever played games from P Club? Especially Hearts of Iron. Ding, you have discovered a new continent, do you want to conquer their empire? Yes! Please choose what you want The dispatched personnel, select the troop formation, and then wait for the news - the Balam Empire has surrendered to you and been incorporated into the territory of the Republic of Intis!"

"Yeah." Edward also smiled, "It's really interesting."

Yeah, like a strategy game. "The natives of the West Balam Colony rebelled and killed the officers you assigned to revolt. Are you going to suppress it?"

"yes."

"Please give the combat order: "Clean up the place. ""

"Please choose a participant: Edward Vaughn."

So, two days later, the news was updated: "He has completed your mission. Now the rebellious city-state has completely calmed down, and the surrounding city-states that were rebellious have also calmed down and begun to accept your rule."

What an arrogant human being. thought the Declined King. What interesting humans. In his early years, for fame and influence, Russell still needed to fight his own battles and experience how difficult people's livelihood was. Now, the high-ranking Archon no longer lowers his head to look at the straw under his feet.

As long as orders are issued, casualties are reported, memorial services are held and speeches are given, who needs to know what happens in the process?

…………

A long, long time later, when wars broke out, the entire continent ushered in decline, and everything was like paradise. The Black Emperor sits on His throne, and the devil stands at His right hand. Under their feet were twisted black shadows, and the vast empire was shrouded in the shadows of gods and the wings of demons.

There are more and more followers, more and more speculators, and at this time Russell already looks older than Edward.

Many things have changed over a long period of time. The weak Kingdom of Intis became the king of the continent, and all the countries trembled and surrendered. The prosperous and peaceful southern continent ushered in war and destruction. Men were worth a horse, women were worth a piece of cloth, and children were cheap gifts. But some things remain constant, the throne high above and the words far away from the dust. Just like the Archon's study hundreds of years ago, the Angel of the Abyss stood beside His desk, watching Him write and draw on the world map, and listening to Him plan wars and coups in a calm yet excited tone, using understatement. The earth sentenced countless people to death.

The Tyrant and his executioners, the Black Emperor and the Angel of the Abyss.

Hypocrisy, intrigues, you don’t trust me, I also deceive you, you are a human, I am a god, but we are both cold-blooded. Our perfect cooperation can bring about the greatest glory and the most miserable fate for people.

However, among all the desolate beauty, the vibrant Intis and its emperor are such an eyesore.

So the glory ended and the emperor died.

Then, He opened his eyes and looked down at all living beings in the tomb.

"There are countless sins in the world, but those who betray the emperor cannot be forgiven!"

"You and I have committed such heinous crimes with blood on our hands, and we both deserve to die without a burial place! Come on, come on! My friend, my executioner! You must not live alone, you must be my companion as a Jedi of death!"

A group of friends reminded us that the Zhongsunia Company, "the southern continent is close to the Sunia Sea and is located in the mid-latitude area", was built by Lun En.

Finished in one shot.

Write about the plastic friendship that everyone seems to love to hear about.

A dear reader liked the love and murder between Lao Ai and Russell (?), which made me determined to write this extra story that I couldn't get rid of in my mind. I finally connected a lot of tiny things together. This article may be quite controversial (but I warned you at the beginning!!), so readers can discuss freely. I wrote the Rosette in my heart. Well, I'm very satisfied with this episode.
