Chapter 373

I don't think it's a surprise to be told by theon. If theon can't see through, he's not theon anymore.

"I really need your knowledge and talent, Mr. theon," zero admitted

"I see." theon lit himself a cigar and handed one to zero.

For this rough "cigarette", he shook his head to show that he was not interested. Theon didn't think so. He put the cigar back in his pocket. He said, "it's a good thing. It's a pity that you don't taste it."

Zero fist slightly tight, although it is only a very plain sentence, but the meaning is very obvious. With theon's ability, it was not surprising that he would be solicited by the helbens. He hesitated and said, "you!"

"No. although the helbens lacked a housekeeper who was still able to deal with all kinds of situations, I refused their invitation." theon's face was uncertain under the glow of cigars. He looked at zero and said with deep meaning: "Trust me, zero. The conditions offered by the Helburn family are definitely better than you can imagine. If it was before, I wouldn't refuse. But now, I'm not the former theon. When remt was buried in the hands of those monsters, theon died. Now I just try to live so that PELA's sacrifice won't be wasted Just come. "

Take a deep breath. Theon looked at the dark base ceiling and sighed: "It's hard to live, zero. Can you imagine living aimlessly like me? Every night I have to drink a bottle of liquor to sleep. Every morning when I wake up, I always vaguely think I'm still in remtry. That fire not only buried me and Pera, but also completely destroyed my dream. Zero, how about a person without a dream To help you who are building your ideal blueprint. "

"I can't do it, because I'm afraid that all my efforts will still fail to escape a war." looking at zero, theon said faintly.

For the first time, zero felt the pain in the man's heart and uncontrollable despair. Now standing in front of him, theon, who was still talking and laughing in the VIP room just now, was just a body, but his residual instinct. Just like theon said, the real him, his soul died when remt fell.

But... "Can you trust me once!" zero looked at theon seriously and said: "I know it's not easy. I can feel the pain and despair in your heart. Because I have lost everything like Mr. Sean. The people I love, the people I care about, my friends and my comrades in arms. Those who used to be beautiful, because of the cruelty of the world, they left. Or helpless, maybe tragic, but I can't keep them. All this is because of my love Strength is not strong enough. So from then on, I hope to become strong and change the world. Whether naive or arrogant, some dreams always have to be put into everything; some battles are not allowed to escape. But I can't do this alone. I need partners, such as maple and belline. And Mr. theon, even if you lend me your ability Well, I will build that dream country in return! "

On the cigarette end of the cigar, the flame flickered slightly, like theon's confused thinking.

After a moment of silence, theon whispered, "very moving, zero."

He shook his head and said: "I know your ideal and your ambition. I'm glad you can feel my pain and helplessness, but these are not enough, zero. I've lost everything, and I don't want to change anything. Money, I think the income of this position is enough for me to spend the rest of my life; power, although I'm not a big man in this city, many big people are willing to make friends with me. As long as I want, I can get ten times more power than I am now. So, what can you give me, zero? "

This is a zero unanswerable question, but also a realistic question.

Theon continued, "if I were twenty years younger, maybe I would promise you. But I am no longer young. The rest of my life is given to me by perra. I can't spend it casually. So zero, if you want me to work for you, you must give me a reason to do so!"

Zero was silent. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't find it."

Theon smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "that's all you can do first. Come back to me when you find it. But before that, I can share with you my secret of doing things, just as I gave you a gift for the opening of your company."

"Please say," zero asked modestly.

As they talked, they walked to the entrance and walked down the street of the base. Theon asked, "what do you think of Douglas?"

Zero one sign, casually replied: "the superior, no airs, approachable. I get a lot of help from him. Although he has his own purpose, on the whole, I am very grateful for what he has done for me."

Theon chuckled and said, "it's like a kind old man, isn't it?"

Zero shrugged his shoulders and said, "roughly so."

"Even if you think so, I can only say that glass's image is very successful." theon said faintly, but there was something in his words.

Zero eyebrow slightly frowned: "you mean!"

"No, I don't mean anything else. Douglas really cultivated you very carefully and didn't mean any harm to you. There's no doubt about that. I just want to remind you that what you see is not all Douglas. Zero, you should remember that every big man can become a big man because they have ambition." theon said solemnly: "Ambition and desire are innate instincts of human beings. But ambition can also be divided into high and low. It is like a wilderness. A refugee who can only have one piece of bread every day wants to eat ten pieces of bread every day. This is also ambition. For Douglas, his ambition is not just an asgat. This is the difference between big people and small people, Douglas Si is investing in you now, and investment needs return, zero. "

Theon suddenly said with a smile, "so don't deceive your heart by giving a temporary favor. There is no free lunch, zero. One day, Douglas will ask you for something in return. Once you can't take it or don't want to take it, you will find that you don't know the old man so much."

Zero was silent, and theon's words had a great shock to him. Just like the man said, he had never thought about these things before. Now he was broken by theon, and zero found that he was really immature in many places.

For example, easy to trust people, even if he thinks he has been quite careful. Of course, theon doesn't mean to be careful of Douglas. After all, it's good and harmless for zero now. Douglas won't make any threat to zero for at least one or two years.

But in the future, who knows?

Nothing is invariable, but in the constantly changing things, interests always become the fastest.

With theon's reminder, zero suddenly realized that not all investments are worth accepting. Before accepting, he must consider whether he can get a return.

Among them, there is an invisible ruler, whose name is interest.

"Thank you, Mr. theon," said zero sincerely.

Theon nodded with satisfaction and said, "it seems that you are not a fool with muscles in your head. That's good, so you should be able to understand what I'm going to say next."

"Don't take yourself too high, zero. Never do this. Even if you are above ten thousand people, you should keep a humble heart." theon said faintly.

Zero opened his eyes wide, which contained too many meanings. Zero seemed to catch it and didn't understand anything. In his ears, theon's low voice sounded.

"Humility is not shameful. It allows you to see yourself clearly and will not do stupid things beyond your ability. It may not help you succeed, but it can at least reduce your mistakes and even make no mistakes. As long as you don't make mistakes, you will have half of your success. Only by maintaining your humility can you see a wider world. Lower your body and people will be more successful I'm willing to interact with you. But! "Theon stressed," humility is not cowardice. It's a kind of self-discipline and introversion. But the object of humility should be your elders, lovers, friends and partners. As for the enemy, naturally, you don't have to leave them any face. "

"Those who violate our territory should repay by thunder. This is the iron rule of the new era, otherwise how to establish their own authority!" theon said again: "Look at Douglas, how did the prestige of these great men come from? It was exchanged with the blood of their hands, but they never doubted themselves, because they firmly believed that they were right. There is never a smooth way to pursue the ideal, even if the end of the ideal is a country that can bring happiness to all. But the foundation of this country is also fresh Blood and white bone pad. If you don't have the faith to go on even if everyone points out, it's better to give up as soon as possible. "

Zero mood can't be calm for a long time.

He finally came into contact with the spiritual world of the superior.

As scholars in the old era always said, ideals are beautiful, and the process is cruel. No matter how beautiful an ideal is, it can not be paved with flowers and praise. Especially if zero wants to overthrow the existing world, it will inevitably shake the interests of some people, and the opposition and resistance will only become more intense.

He didn't think about it before, but it was not as clear and direct as what theon said now. Theon was not a soldier, but his words were like a sharp sword, tearing open the disguise of peace and putting the bloody facts in front of zero. That huge impact could not be expressed in words.

A moment later, zero took a deep breath in his airway: "I've been taught."

The wilderness is quiet, but it is also lively. Especially at night, the radiation intensity is much lower than that during the day, which is the time for a large number of mutant creatures to forage and even mate.

Every year, every month and every day. The environment of this planet is getting worse and worse. Even if there are variations, there must be racial extinction of some mutant animals after a period of time. This is the law of elimination of nature, which is much more cruel and realistic than any law.

So the mutant can only evolve continuously to evolve genes to adapt to the harsh environment.

The quickest means of evolution is reproduction. While mating, both sides will bury the evolutionary genes in the cells of the next generation. When the newborn baby is born, these genes will be released continuously, resulting in visible or invisible variations. However, these variations may sometimes be wrong or even fatal, so the outcome can be predicted See, nature is eliminated by the world.

In the evolution of all things, human pace can be said to be the slowest. Even if there are such aliens as capable people in their huge race, compared with the huge base of ordinary people, such changes are just a spray in the sea. No matter how big the waves are, it is no bigger than the tsunami, but the tsunami can not change the fundamentals of the ocean.

But human beings can still survive in such an environment. Although it is very difficult, it is an indisputable fact.

That benefits human wisdom, and even the technology derived from wisdom.

Technology changes life, this is not empty talk.

Although purification technology began to appear only 20 years ago, even now, it is not very clever. Such purification technology is not brilliant, at least until it is enough to turn the whole earth's environment around. However, its emergence gives the lowest guarantee for human survival.

Just like now, three modified black cars drive through the wilderness. In terms of style, they are no different from the cars of the old era. But in fact, cars, from materials to operating systems to built-in purification devices, are the crystallization of new era technology.

With them, even the most ordinary human beings can move in the wilderness.

Of course, they are expensive and not affordable to ordinary people.

Charles has no such concerns at all.

Although his family can not compare with the three giants of asgat, it is also one of the core affiliated families of the Helburn family. Charles is the next in line in the family. He is young and rich. The golden hair comparable to Apollo perfectly interprets the definition of nobility. As for strength, as a seventh level fighting master, Charles is very confident in his fist.

Those who dare to question have been defeated by his iron fist.

Exceptions? This word has never appeared in Charles' dictionary.

"Young master, zero company is coming."

After planning to deal with some things and going home, Charles, who was looking for a woman to spend the night, suddenly heard the driver say so. Charles nodded carelessly, but the word zero technology floated in his heart.

Charles really wondered why his father wanted to participate in the Party of this small company. Of course, Charles knew that the boss of the new company was called zero, as if he were an elite soldier of the hammer of destruction. Behind zero, there are Douglas and Beyonce of the black rose family.

But that's all, Douglas or black rose. They have made a lot of investment, and many people have been funded by them to become new aristocrats. But so what? The aristocratic world can't start by relying on war power or financial resources alone. More importantly, it takes time to accumulate.

Like a good wine, the longer the year, the sweeter the taste.

It was only his father's orders that could not be disobeyed, so Charles came. It's just an easy job for him. Because my father's order is very simple: let them not do even one business!

reason? Charles understands. It's obviously aimed at zero point technology. In fact, it's against the black rose family.

As for Douglas's anger, it is natural for the helbens to bear it. Although Douglas is the supreme power of asgart, the Helburn family is the first of the three giants. I think the superior will not offend the Helburn family for the sake of a small upstart. Then again, the Charles family would not have been so arrogant without the instructions of the helbens.

It's just such a job. Charles can call a family confidant or any cousin as he wants. Charles felt that his father was too shameful to ask him to do it.

"A local aristocrat," Charles sneered.

A moment later, the car drove into the range of the base. Charles got out of the car and entered the reception hall under the arch of several guards. The cocktail party has come to an end. Only a few young men and women are still in the hall, and the vast majority are still in the weapons exhibition room behind the hall.

Some young people in the hall knew Charles, but Charles didn't even have the courtesy to greet them. Bent on completing the task assigned by his father as soon as possible, Charles almost arrogantly walked through the hall and went straight to the exhibition room with his escort. So that several men who extended their hands to Charles to express friendly greetings did not know where to send their hands for half a time, and their faces turned green with anger.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of zero sum theon.

At this moment, zero is about to send theon away. They passed the corner of the hall without wanting to attract other people's attention. In addition, the hall was dimly lit and no one noticed.

Looking at the domineering Charles, theon smiled and said, "look, the troublemaker is coming."

Zero head, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Still walking slowly to the exit with theon, as for Charles, there are maple and belline. As theon said before, there can be no smooth road on the ideal road. From the fact that the invitation submitted when the company opened was categorically rejected by Helburn and planing, and even other families attached to them, zero knew their attitude and position, and knew that such trouble would happen.

I don't know much about politics. However, under the slight guidance of theon just now, zero probably knows what kind of situation is now.

The hall of heroes built the prototype of asgat, but the perfection and strength of this great city are inseparable from the contributions of the three giants and other nobles. On the other hand, the establishment of the Council is the performance that he can not ignore the voices of these aristocratic giants.
