Chapter 281: Aogude’s Memory!

The man in the dark suddenly grinned, "Do you know Duke Klosso? He took my things, can you help me steal it back."

"If you get caught, do you know what to say?"

Guland nodded repeatedly, "I thought Duke Klosso was wealthy, so I wanted to steal from him, that’s all."

The man in the dark waved his hand, signaling his men to take away the knife, "Smart, I didn’t misjudge you."

"Once this is done, you will work for me in the future."

。。。

The scene plunged into darkness again, Jiang Chen’s view shifted, and he saw the same secret room.

Guland placed a silver coin with a snake pattern on the table, which the man in the dark took.

"Indeed, it is the rat from the gutter, born to do these things."

"But starting from today, you are no longer a rat, you are my Akab’s dog, hahaha!"

Guland smiled pleasingly, but his fingertips had already deeply pierced into his own palm.

。。。

The scene shifted again, Guland had grown up, he put on armor, becoming a member of the city guard.

Once again in the same room, a man in the dark slammed a letter on the table.

"Get rid of the person who wrote this letter for me."

Guland picked up the letter and opened it. It was a report against the man in front of him, and he looked directly at the bottom of the letter.

In the line indicating the name.

Malthus.

"I don’t think you should have any problems, right?"

Guland looked up, "A weapon doesn’t need to know who it’s killing. I am your sword, wherever you swing, I will strike."

The man in the darkness laughed more and more joyfully, "Good, good, I really like you more and more."

。。。

The scene shifted again, with the man in the dark stepping out for the first time.

He was personally escorted to the gallows by Guland!

In front of numerous ordinary people, Guland put on the man’s clothes and also took over his position.

He held the sword to the man’s neck, and the man turned to look at Guland.

"Haha, the naughty boy has grown up!"

"I almost forgot, dogs can also turn against their owners!"

Just then, a scholar wearing glasses and looking refined suddenly arrived next to the gallows.

"Thanks to Gulandcaptain’s help, we finally caught this cancer of the empire."

The man stared sharply at the scholar, "Malthus, you are still so naive. Do you really think I am the only cancer of the empire?"

"The empire is already full of holes, corruption has seeped into every corner, you can’t catch them all, nor eliminate them!"

Malthus held a book and said, "If people are sick, there are people who can cure them. The empire’s illness, I will treat. One day, I will root out all of you cancers!"

The man grinned fiercely, "You can get rid of me, that’s my own problem, but if you dare to harm the people next!"

"I guarantee you will endure endless suffering!"

"You will suffer terribly, you will want to live but cannot, asking for death but unable to die, calling to the heavens but receiving no answer, calling to the earth but finding no help, facing true hardship!"

*Plop!*

The man’s head fell to the ground, and the scene came to a sudden stop.

。。。

Darkness engulfed Jiang Chen’s eyes once again.

"Malthus…"

Why is Malthus here again?

The scene lit up again, revealing a graveyard in front of him.

The elderly Malthus still wore those glasses, and at this moment, he fell into a pit, surrounded by numerous knights.

Next, a man wearing a fancy noble robe appeared.

Judging from the three moles at the corner of his eye, this person was Guland!

But at this moment, Malthus was badly injured, with various horrifying wounds all over his body.

"Why… "

Malthus’s weak voice echoed, but no one answered him.

Guland reached out his right hand, and a knight handed him a long sword.

"Why?"

"Even after so many years, you still don’t understand, the empire is beyond saving, everyone is your enemy."

"Every noble wants to kill you, what do you have to resist with?"

"Don’t blame me, blame the world instead."

Malthus’ glasses slowly slid down, he could no longer show a smile, only endless twisting and pain on his face.

"I thought you were on my side…"

Malthus’ words made Guland’s hand pause, "I’m sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else."

"Since I was very young, I understood one thing clearly: to avoid being exploited by crooked merchants, one must become a crooked merchant."

"To avoid being exploited by nobles, one must become a noble. To avoid being swallowed by darkness, one must become a part of the darkness."

"I’ve had enough of days living like a rat in the sewer, and enough of being treated like a dog!"

"I must climb upwards, I must climb upwards!"

"No matter the cost, I will reach the top, I will become the top person!"

"You’re very kind, Malthus. You’re a good person, but good people can’t save this already rotten empire."

"If there’s a next life, I hope you’re born in a time that suits you."

*Giggle!*

As Malthus passed away, the scene before him once again plunged into darkness.

。。。

When the scene brightened again, the massive and prosperous empire had been invaded by people and was falling into ruin.

But Guland did not die. He knelt inside the royal palace, showing the enemy the severed head he held.

It was a woman’s head, the very queen of this country.

And it was at this moment that, for the first time in this series of scenes, a person appeared to Jiang Chen whose figure he couldn’t make out!

The person’s figure seemed intentionally erased, his body covered in black mist and endless blur.

Guland knelt down, offering the queen’s head to him.

"Great Emperor Auzo, Guland presents to you the head of the feeble king."

This person is Auzo?!

Jiang Chen moved closer to the shadow, trying his best to observe it.

However hard he tried and however close he got, he couldn’t see what the shadow truly looked like.

The legendary Dragon Emperor Auzo was right in front of him now, but he couldn’t see clearly!

"Your full name."

Guland lifted his head, "I am an orphan, without a family name or surname, my name is Guland."

"I saw this name in a stolen book."

Without waiting for the dark figure to speak, a small figure beside suddenly said, "Guland means betrayal, Your Majesty, this person has a rebellious nature, cannot…"

The dark figure suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the small figure, "I do not like your name, but I need your help."

"In my homeland, people’s last names and first names are connected, it means your life is connected to your family."

"I will give you a new name, starting with my last name."

"From now on, you will be called Aogude."
