Warhammer Inquisitor
Chapter 497 Rebirth from the Ashes: Closing Show
The loud noise did not affect Jack, he turned a blind eye to what was happening in front of him, and focused all his attention on the armrest of the throne that his fingers were stroking.
He stroked the little silver snake lightly, and he remembered asking his aunt why the silver snake was carved on the throne instead of the family's rose pattern.
Olivia told him that in order not to forget the past, remember the pain and fear of the past, he asked her, what is in the fear? Why remember it.
"Courage is born in fear, and this is the most important talent of the governor. You have to remember it. When you need it, let fear bring you strength."
Jack always remembered that sentence. He learned a lot from Olivia, but for some reason, that sentence was the first thing that came to his mind.
Perhaps it has something to do with the current environment. All the surviving noble families gathered here, and Anthony Brutus preached loudly in front of them, using his eloquence to exaggerate the current crisis atmosphere, and elected "appropriate "The importance of the candidate for acting governor.
It was a coup, and now Jack knew it all, he had been recalling and piecing together memories during this silence, and now he knew who the guy really was.
The leader of these rebels is not Tierfan, and he is just a pawn, played by this sinister outsider.
Jack sat on the throne behind Anthony. He glanced at the people in the palace. All the living people are here. The loyalists and rebels are in this hall, and the gates are guarded by guards. It is not difficult to see that the guards Who is listening to.
There is also a big difference between the two factions. The loyalists are full of worry and fear, while the rebels are also full of suspicion. It seems that they are not fully sure of success. Facing Anthony's speech, their morale is not high.
Before coming in here, Master Morgrim originally followed him, but he was blocked from the door. Tierfan said that this was a matter of human beings and had nothing to do with demihumans, although he was more like talking about aliens at the time.
Morgrim was shut out, and now he was sitting here alone, but soon Jack realized his mistake, and pink hair fell from his hands.
His fiancée was sitting on the side, on a chair next to the throne, her eyes were calm without any panic, as if she was a queen who was in danger, solemn and authoritative.
To be honest, she was more like a governor than herself, and she should sit on this throne. The rebels didn't dare to look at her, as if Olivia was still alive.
But Jack also noticed that something was wrong with his fiancée, not because she changed into men's clothes, and her hair was braided for the activities.
She was not a traditional aristocratic lady in the past, she could ride a motorcycle, and naturally she often wore clothes that were not so beautiful but more convenient for activities, but this time she seemed to be very different.
Jack suddenly felt that she was very strange, and there was a sense of mystery in those familiar eyes. She always looked at him with a half-smile, silent, but seemed to be urging himself, reminding himself to do something.
Jack looked at her, put his hands on the backs of hers and made a decision, the young governor pushing up, the rap of a chair interrupting Anthony, who turned to look again.
Everyone in the hall looked at Jack in front of the throne, that child who was only fourteen years old, who was full of momentum at the moment, without the slightest weakness of a child.
He took a deep breath, looked at them and said, "Lord Valsim, when you were still unknown, you were my adoptive mother. Governor Olivia brought you a chance, and you have your current status." , but you chose to betray."
Lord Valsim stood in the crowd, bowed his head in shame after hearing the words, he did not roll up his sleeves to show signs of betrayal, but his previous silence still made him ashamed.
"Master Korti, you are the entourage of the previous traitor governor. Many people suggested that we kill you, deprive you of your property and exile your family, but Olivia didn't. My mother let you go, But you betrayed her."
Jack said sternly, and Corti buried his head silently below, while the other person looked at him, and was soon called by his name.
"Master Gorov, I remember that you were a worker at the bottom of the hive city. I have known my mother for a long time. After she returned to the position of governor, she did not forget you. She rewarded you, but you stood with the traitor. Together."
The mottled-haired Gorov didn't reply, but he was obviously ashamed, and the others around him also looked at each other silently.
Anthony frowned watching them, while Jack behind him continued talking.
"Master Dix, your son died for the Emperor, in the war against Chaos, but you turned to a traitor. If you knew, what would you think of his surname?"
As before, facing the questioning of this fourteen-year-old child, the audience was silent and no one answered, no one responded, whether it was a rebel or a loyal person.
"The emperor lied to us. He raised up what should belong to us, and made us kneel before him." Anthony immediately opened his mouth, trying to restore the atmosphere of the scene, but he was quickly caught by the person he had never properly understood. The boy who saw it pressed back.
"You have received the favor of the emperor, and we all have. The emperor may have hidden a lot from us, but we owe him as much as he has favored us."
Jack said that the boy showed the backbone that he shouldn't have at that age, and the fiancee beside him looked at him with a mysterious smile.
"The Johnson family will never forget, and neither will the people of Victoria. They will never forget today's betrayal, your treachery."
Jack continued to speak with his head held high, he looked around the crowd, "You have chosen to betray, your family name will be discredited forever, but I will not, I am a member of the Johnson family, I will not let my family name be humiliated. "
As soon as these words came out, Tierfan also frowned and fell into entanglement. Jack didn't look at him, not at all, but glanced at Anthony and then turned to his lover beside him.
"Sorry dear, this traitor wants me to kneel and surrender to his master of Chaos, who promises to keep you and me safe."
"But let me say, fuck it, I'm not going to surrender to Chaos, I'm not going to kneel to traitors, so I'm sorry, I think you're going to die here with me."
She smiled back at him, then nodded silently, Jack took a deep breath, and he looked at the people looking at each other in front of him, in which Valcim stepped out, and he looked at Jack.
"I chose to remain silent earlier because I don't know whether you can be trusted, whether you are as worthy of entrusting everything as your adoptive mother." His Excellency Walsim said.
"But I was wrong."
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people, especially Falti.
"Jack Johnson is Olivia's heir. I swore to be loyal to her, and I will do the same now." Walsim said as he drew out his gun, and he aimed it under the gaze of everyone. Anthony, then came to Jack's side.
Anthony glared at him. "You made the wrong choice, Valsim, you took the wrong side."
Before Anthony finished speaking, Corti also came out from the crowd behind him. He ignored Anthony's glaring eyes and looked directly at Jack standing in front of the throne.
"I joined the rebels, and I will regret it for the rest of my life, but if you make a mistake, you can only ask for forgiveness."
Jack looked at him and spoke after a moment of silence, "My adoptive mother always told me that compassion and forgiveness require more courage than punishment, my lord."
Tierfan listened to his words, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then pulled out the knife in front of everyone, cut off the skin on his arm with pain, cut off the mark of Tzeentch with blood and threw it on the on the ground.
He drew his gun and came to Jack. Anthony looked at him with a puzzled and surprised expression. Jack stood there overlooking all living beings.
As if moved by the eyes of the fourteen-year-old child, the crowd made a choice, some went over there, and others stayed.
Blood fell to the ground along with the Tzeentch-marked skin, Marble was sipping hungrily, Anthony glared at the crowd around Jack, they all drew their guns.
"You have made the wrong choice and this is asking for your own death."
"Death is better than betrayal." Jack said, he was tall and tall, standing out among adults.
"Your plan has long been exposed, didn't you see it? You are just an arrogant coward, hiding behind the exploited. You have no future to speak of."
"You try to play that ridiculous mortal game with the marshal, but you don't realize that he is a god, and you, always, will always be a mortal, Antony Brutus."
These words seemed to make Anthony furious. He raised his hand, and the guards behind him raised their guns.
"You have chosen the wrong path, Jack Johnson. You could have chosen the right path."
"This is the right way, loyalty, the only way." Jack said firmly.
"Then pay for it."
Anthony said, but what he got in exchange was not gunshots, but an explosion of flesh and blood. Behind him, the heads of the guards all exploded, like a gorgeous fireworks.
Anthony was taken aback, while Jack himself looked at his fiancée standing up from the chair. She stood up slowly from the chair, her eyes shone with golden light, and she changed her appearance in the blink of an eye.
She takes the form of Vito.
Shocked, Jack looked at Vito, and Vito smiled at him in relief.
"You'll make a good governor, Jack Johnson, just as your aunt told me."
Vito said coldly, and for a moment Jack seemed to understand everything. He remembered what Master Morgrim had said to him before he came in.
"Remember what you've learned, put them to good use, and you'll pass."
At this moment, he understood everything. He looked at Vito in surprise, and he looked at Anthony with a smile, and his expression became stern in an instant.
"Now, the game is over."
He said softly, and before he realized it, all the heads on the rebel side exploded, even Tierfan was no exception, and they all died on the spot before they could react.
Blood rain splashed in the air, Anthony took a step back immediately after being startled, he took out the box containing the black fragments, but his arm broke suddenly, and his legs twisted a whole circle amidst his screams.
Jack watched him fall to the ground, screaming endlessly, and Vito walked up, his face was indifferent as if he had no emotion.
"I understand one thing now."
he said coldly.
"You are not Tzeentch, you are just one of his tricks to entertain us, although, his sense of humor is as bad as ever."
"I still need to face his real conspiracy, and you."
Vito didn't finish speaking, as if it was unnecessary, those contemptuous eyes made Anthony's anger on the ground overwhelm the pain.
"The Lord of Change! He will tell me everything, and you! Will live forever in the Emperor's lies!"
Jack looked into Vito's eyes, and there was a pathetic pity in those eyes.
"Poor man, you know nothing about anything."
Anthony roared angrily. He lifted the box in front of him with his broken elbow. He recited the spell aloud, and the space behind him began to distort in an instant. Jack was surprised to see the torn subspace rift.
Countless arms stretched out from it, howling and screaming, and more terrifying things that terrified Jack emerged from it, as if rushing towards reality.
Anthony laughed, "Let's see who knows nothing!"
Anthony hadn't even finished his sentence when the gap closed instantly and all fear disappeared without a trace, he was amazed and Jack saw only a contemptuous smile on Vito's face.
"Know nothing."
After he said that, Anthony's head and body exploded, and the body of the betrayer collapsed, and Vito turned around.
Everyone looked at him in shock, especially Jack, but he just smiled faintly.
"Ninety points for you, don't be too proud."
"But you get down from that position, your mother asked me to send you a message, she is not dead yet, don't rush to sit on it."
