Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: Chapter 492: Even if it Costs 1000 of My Lives and Souls (4K)_2 (2/2)

In an instant, crossing thousands of miles, the Child of the Sun God had once again returned before Karno, bringing back the forbidden rare artifacts that belonged to the Spiritual Tunic Secret Priory.

“I can kill your people whenever I want, how are you considering it, Karno Fischer.”

Having said this, he looked toward Karno calmly.

Karno fell into deep silence, pondering a great deal, and finally, staring into the other’s eyes, he spoke.

“I desire freedom.”

“Nobles, peasants, craftsmen, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers… The predestined identities people are born with make me feel restrained.”

“Being born into the Fischer family, I had to believe in the great Lord of the Lost, had to become an aide to the family, all of it was arranged, that’s why I did something that angered them… that is to break the rules, to leave the constraints of the family.”

“Free, rebellious, unbounded, eccentric Karno… that is how many people see me.”

His voice was very firm.

“I don’t believe a person’s fate is decided at the moment of their birth, but by his own will, which is a most precious thing.”

“Over the years I’ve been observing, there are very few who can transcend the established order; most people don’t even realize that they are unhappy with their current state, simply drifting through life.”

“And the few who do break out of the mold, often end up as criminals or exploiters. Perhaps, that’s just reality, truly wise men are always a rarity.”

“Therefore, I would rather lose my life than my precious free will, the most valuable thing I possess.”

Karno’s words were not heavy but rather light. He sounded like he was introducing a story he had written to a good friend, smiling while telling his concepts to the dangerous Child of the Sun God.

However, his speech was filled with power, unshakeable and resolute.

The Child of the Sun God remained silent.

During the time the other party was unconscious, he had already arranged for the cat to use the power of a forbidden rare artifact to search many memories in Karno’s soul. In doing so, the cat lost an eye but not in a way that could not be recovered.

The man was indeed a Fischer family member unlike any other, worthy of his respect.

And since he was such a man, there might also be the possibility of turning him. If he could help him, eliminating the Fischer family and the seal on that bottle would become easy.

Thus, the Child of the Sun God slowly nodded and said, “Since you dislike the Fischer family, then help me.”

“I need you to enter Cyart and take out the so-called sacred object hidden inside by Nasir, the bottle worshiped by the Fischer family, and bring it to me.”

However, Karno’s next words made the Saint of Sun’s eyes slightly widen, revealing a rare sense of astonishment that he hadn’t shown for hundreds of years.

“I refuse.”

His gaze was as if filled with Blazing Sun and lightning, causing the Child of the Sun God to frown and shake his head:

“You’ve said before, Karno, that you detest the you born into the Fischer family.”

“You’ve misunderstood, respected Child of the Sun God. I merely lust for the choice of free will, and after living for decades, now, I have made my choice with my own free will at this moment, and I shall have no regrets!”

Karno slowly stood up, smiled, and bowed lightly, continuing to speak in a relaxed tone.

“How could I detest the Fischer family? They have never wronged me, and many within the family strive to make the surrounding world a better place. Though not all within the Fischer family are honourable, most are more deserving of my respect than the vast majority of the Extraordinary nobility of the world.”

“As for your claim that the world will be destroyed after the Lord of the Lost is revived, and that seemingly real but illusory vision, they cannot serve as evidence or truth to me. On the contrary, I choose to trust Him… because after many years of careful observations, the great Lord of the Lost has never killed any innocent and good soul, nor has He ever required the Fischer to conduct bloody sacrifices!”

He wasn’t saying this out of fear of punishment for betraying the Lord of the Lost; on the contrary, if the Lord of the Lost’s actions over the years did not align with Karno’s principles, even if betraying Him meant instantaneous death, he would not hesitate to betray.

Karno’s tone was full of determination, and his eyes were increasingly friendly, finally nodding gratefully.

“Thank you, respected Saint of Sun, Your Excellency the Child of the Sun God from Terell. Without your questioning, I would have had no way to prove my true intentions.”

“And as for your hope that I would surrender and betray my family, let me give you a sufficiently formal response once again.”

“Even if it meant sacrificing a thousand of my lives and souls! I will never betray the Fischer, nor will I leave the Dawn Church!”

“You can burn my soul to ashes, but you cannot interfere with my will!”
