404: 140.
Dawn of the Crimson Castle_3 404: 140.
Dawn of the Crimson Castle_3 There will be no more disgraceful famines forcing good citizens to risk smuggling arms in order to protect their families, to ensure their children have enough to eat.
That madness won’t be repeated.
It will be a beautiful future!
It will be a new era where everyone can live freely just by abiding by the law.
I seem to have already seen it…Yes, a stable life will no longer be just a fantasy, even though it may be a legend in other places, but in the city we will build together, it will be a reality!
And it must beco a reality!”
He patted Xiao Wan’s shoulder, causing the bandit-like chef to lower his head and wipe his eyes.
He didn’t know how Sir Morphy knew about his past, but at this mont he was willing to believe this “romantic” and “gentle” promise from the Midnight Clan’s mber.
“Of course, my city will also be a place of religious freedom.”
Morphy walked to the silent Madam Jules, gently placing his hands on the old woman’s shoulders who had been through many hardships in her life, he said softly:
“There won’t be any tragedies where different beliefs lead to family separations and friends turning against each other.
In my city, in my territory, all law-abiding believers are free to choose to worship their own God.
Even if it’s a religion that was declared rebellious ten years ago!
Perhaps it’s hard for you to believe, Madam Jules, but the truth is that the God of Nature, Avalon, has whispered to .
He said I am a different kind of vampire, He inford that among my followers there are His devout believers, and He commanded to take good care of her.
I certainly will do so.
Faithful Madam Jules, I will do so!
I will erect a magnificent church for the God of Nature, Avalon, within my territory.
Of course, I will do the sa for followers of the Winter Wolves Religion, I will allow followers of Mother Earth to build altars underground, even followers of the Dragon of the Star Realm from the East, and followers of the Creator from the vast desert in the distance
Because, the new city we will build together will open its arms to all the holess.
Not only to feed their bodies, but also to comfort and properly look after their souls…”
“Oh, Avalon above.”
The silent old nun felt her soul trembling.
She didn’t know if her God was using Sir Morphy’s mouth to convey a clear divine ssage to her, but she could definitely feel the warmth in her soul.
Just like the tis when the Old Nature Cult hadn’t collapsed, when believers of nature still had a place where their souls could return.
She was willing to believe that it was a promise from the Divine Spirit through Morphy, a sacred place for believers would slowly rise in this bitter and dark land, even though it currently seed like rely a beautiful fantasy.
But even to dream, one must first fall asleep.
“In the city I am about to build, every coin will be put to good use, and every ordinary person dreaming of getting rich can realize their wish, rather than having ample talent but having to spend decades in obscurity under the oppression of a bunch of idiots.”
Once again, Morphy moved forward and put his hand on Miss Pailian’s firm shoulder.
He whispered:
“The pursuit of wealth is not a shaful downfall, only those who know how to utilize their wealth can achieve sothing truly aningful.
And it’s not unacceptable for soone who hasn’t achieved anything on their path to dreams despite being well into their life.
After all, as long as the spark of ambition is not extinguished, you still have the next fifty years to realize the ambition of your childhood.
Yes!
You will beco the richest businesswoman in the entire continent.
I have no doubt about this.
I also believe that the city we will build together will be the starting point of your wealth legend.
Right here!
Right now!
Ah, listen to the wonderful sound of gold coins rolling, it will guide our helpless souls to the real city of wealth, the ambitious city constructed by Miss Pailian herself.”
“Can…
can I really do it?”
Miss Pailian nervously asked:
“Can I really beco a wealthy person?”
“Of course, my lady.”
Facing the anxious soul awakened by desire, Morphy said with a smile:
“I firmly believe that your future wealth will make everyone envious, all you need is a little courage,”
he said, moving to the last family mber.
He gently placed his hand on Mr.
Portman’s shoulder, then let out a light laugh, leaning into the ear of this flustered, balding forr policeman to whisper:
“My new city will be a real city of desire, where all n will view it as heaven, and those big-bottod girls yearning for wealth will offer their beautiful bodies to the city’s power figures.
Just a little bolder, Mr.
Portman, it’s the life every man desires.
Not just humans!
Dwarfs, half-body n, and even those abstinent elves!
If you wish, power will make it co true for you.
Don’t hide it, Sir Portman, it’s also the privilege of those in power to enjoy desires.
Yes, when you beco a real person in power, you’ll realize that the perfect world you imagined is nothing compared to the world of perfect desires.
Why should you be restrained by a boring marriage?
n like you who possess a strong desire can fulfill their ideals, chasing happiness isn’t just a dream of the decadent.
You just need a little courage.
Of course, you might want to start exercising now, in the na of your wonderful future life…
Have you ever considered becoming a vampire?
It can make you energetic every night.”
“Of course, of course, if I have the opportunity,”
Mr.
Portman coughed a few tis.
He sat upright, trying hard to show a gentleman’s expression.
All of this was seen by Murphy.
He had walked around and said six paragraphs to six mbers of the family.
When he took the first step, everyone including Milian was filled with fear and anxiety.
But when he returned to his seat, everyone saw the glimr of a vision, well…
Let’s not kid ourselves.
It was a glimr of “desire”!
It burned in their eyes and hearts, overpowering their fear of danger, overpowering the restraints of reason.
For the first ti in their lives, their desires, with the nas of ambition and ideal, were laid bare in all their raw truth.
Like a wild fire once lit, it becos very difficult to extinguish.
“I will build a new city in my territory!”
Murphy spread his arms and said loudly:
“I will call it ‘Crimson Castle’!
It will be the City of Glory, Equality, Justice, Faith, Wealth, and Desire!
I can’t do it alone.
But I believe that as long as I have your help, all our dreams and ambitions will co true!
It will be a city that carries all our dreams, it will stand tall in Transylvania!
It will stand for ten thousand years!
Now…
Everyone!
Tell your answers!
Leave?
Or stay!
Flee?
Or hold fast!
Be a coward?
Or choose to be a hero?
Tell your answers!
Your lord is waiting, don’t keep waiting too long…”
