Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 21 (Reissue

"Richard," I called to him, "what are you doing?"

The boy who was squatting on the ground and didn't know what he was doing turned his head, wiped his dirty hands on his clothes that were not much clean in a panic, stood five meters away and bowed his head to me: "Teacher."

"There is an old man in this village who used to help me. She is not in good health and can't see clearly. The children are not around, so I will take care of her when I am free." Matches, pens and newspapers for sale. In this era, newspapers have not been widely promoted. Only the capital Trier and the surrounding large cities have newspaper offices.The newsboy sells newspapers in the streets and alleys, and there are shoeshine tools in his bag. "I will read the newspaper to her, boil water to make tea, talk to her, and she will be very happy."

Richard Ernst was a special human being.

But it's not terribly special either.I looked at him, and through the unique sense of my authority, I saw dozens of thin transparent threads wrapped around his hands, the souls "saved through him and made important connections."Although he saved some people, he always did what he could. He went to help those he was able to save, like saving people from a war, but he never tried to stop it from the root cause, such as promoting the idea of ​​peace, Or openly oppose the radical aggressive thinking that blindly worships Russell.

From this point of view, he is indeed just an ordinary person.

"You're dirty." I said, "You can't go back with me like this, why did you make yourself like this?"

"...Sorry, she lives in a small alley in a slum area, where there is no complete sewer system." Richard was a little embarrassed.

I nodded slightly: "Then go back to my manor through the small door of the stable, and clean yourself up in the bathroom, just like before."

"Yes." he said.He followed me two meters away with his head down.

It was very quiet on the road, which surprised me.Because he always has a lot to say about various aspects.After all, as a young human being, his life experience is already very rich. For example, shortly after he became an Extraordinary, he was persecuted by his companions with different ideas in the organization, he was taken away by his teacher and other seniors, and then he encountered the indulgent group on the road. More than half of them were killed or injured in the pursuit and attack, and finally escaped to the manor of a nobleman, and then found that the nobleman was a "demon" of a similar sequence...

"You have something on your mind." I said.

He realizes that being protected by the devil is not a glorious thing after all, or is it that the remnants of the Temperance Faction came to him and took him back?

"... Teacher, I am very confused."

Richard opened his mouth softly, and the voice came from behind: "Obviously people can obtain funds through their own labor, obviously the nobles also help the poor, the gods established churches to protect the old, young, women and children, and obviously the son of steam implemented the "Civil Law" to protect people's livelihood "Code", all kinds of injury subsidies and compensation for the families of those killed in battle are also gradually improved, why do people still live in such pain?"

"Because no one cares about the lives of the people at all."

He showed a look of astonishment, but I found it strange.

Human beings act for their own interests, the gods are for anchors and fame, nobles are just leaking a little money from their fingers, the codes and subsidies promoted by Russell are to make the people fanatical to participate in the war, and no one is running for the people. Isn't this an obvious thing?
I think he can figure it out, so I didn't make any additions.

"Okay, okay, what you said...maybe..." After about 5 minutes, Richard responded hesitantly, as if his ideas had been shattered and reorganized, "So, then, how do we change all this... ...?"

"Change?" I asked him back, "Why change? People are as humble as grass blades and everywhere, and they don't need to be cared about. Even if they are burned by fire, drowned by water, and killed by disease, there are always more. More survivors. Humans will build their own nests, feed, reproduce, and only need a period of recovery to continue to thrive, which is a cheap renewable resource, why bother?"

His eyes were rounded, and his decades of life experience were not enough to quickly respond to my answer after the world view was broken, and his emotional color changed like a revolving lantern.After a while, he finally calmed down, but his whole body seemed to lose all color in an instant.

"...Is this how you actually look at the people?"

Richard regained his language skills and his usual calmness, and quickly began to think: "This has been the case for thousands of years...Could it be that gods and high-ranking people all use this perspective to look down on human beings?"

"You can think of it that way."

"No, it's not right." He suddenly noticed something, "What about you, teacher? You have always been different. As a demon, your killing is often at the end of the day, and you don't enjoy it. As an angel, the mythical From God, you never cared about your believers, nor your sect. Since all the gods are for anchors, why don't you need anchors?"

... righteous god?I sneered in my heart.

"Because I am a god who is more powerful than all the current gods on this planet." I calmly answered him. Although it is somewhat absurd to say these words as a Sequence 2 demon, the demon path is inherently crazy and unreasonable, " The weak are unwilling to forget where they came from, so they cling to their humanity. They obviously rely on human beings to maintain themselves, but they cannot love others equally, this is their cowardice and hypocrisy."

"I don't need humanity. Because I know what it is."

"However, if you want to save the people, I have another theory that I can explain to you." Before he completely despaired, I changed the subject. His talent is outstanding, and his performance is also very good.He was well-known among several batches of temperate fugitives. Although he was rejected by another group of people, he finally gained a firm foothold and was not afraid of being chased by the indulgent faction.This is a valuable chess piece that can only be cultivated. I don't mind wasting a little time to help him re-understand the world.

"What is it?" he asked me expectantly.

"The world is now in an era of capitalist capital."

"I know." The good student nodded, "This word was proposed by Mr. Russell, and it has epoch-making significance."

"..." I felt speechless for a second, and then said, "Theoretically, there is indeed a more advanced social form standing on top of it, which is considered the most perfect and necessary for human beings." The ultimate social form that will be reached. In the era of communism and communism, material resources are extremely abundant, and no one will go hungry or cold; everyone has received a good education and will not compete with each other; there is no need to work hard, as long as everyone Eight hours of work can feed all the people."

"...God, a world where everyone can eat and clothe themselves, enjoy education, and not have to work until they die? I can't imagine it." Richard muttered to himself, "So when will this era come?"

"It will never come." I interrupted his fantasy, watching him change his expression again, "In that era, everyone is equal. Everyone can live well by relying on themselves, what else does God need to do? ?”

Richard's face changed suddenly.

"You, you mean." A dense row of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, "The gods...won't let that era come? My God, the gods won't allow us to live on our own, because on that day people will Wouldn't believe in God...we'll never be saved?"

I smiled, and instead of answering the question directly, I called him to my side: "There will always be people who will be saved, such as the rich and the pious. Now that you know that this road will not work, do you still want to continue learning? "

Richard hesitated for two seconds, then nodded firmly.

"Well, starting with Capital, first of all, surplus value is..."

"On October 29th, Zaratul, the leader of the secret order, visited me secretly again. I can't guess his real intention. He seems to just want to strengthen the communication and understanding between the two parties?"

"I feel that Zaratul is more powerful and mysterious than the two church powerhouses I've seen, and he feels very similar to my fellow demons. So I asked casually if he was also an angel without any hope. In the end, he actually answered me!"

"He said he was the 'Master of Miracles' of Sequence 2!"

"Sequence 2? He, no, he is actually an angel!! I am surrounded by two angels. Compared with the halo of the protagonist of the era, I suspect that there must be some deeper reason behind this that I don't understand."

"Master of Miracles? A master who is good at creating miracles? The name of this potion is so imaginative! Is this the Sequence 2 of 'Seer'?"

"I tentatively asked Zaratul again, is the so-called miracle a miracle of fate? Does the 'Seer' approach belong to the path of gradually understanding and manipulating fate? Zaratul skipped the first question, and he told me that fate It's just a part of the 'Seer' path, the path that truly represents fate is the 'Monster'!"

"He gave several examples of the "monster" path for this, Sequence 7 'Lucky One', Sequence 5 'Winner', Sequence 2 'Prophet', and the 1 at the top of the sequence, 'Mercury Snake'! This is also known as 'Snake of Destiny'. It was the first Sequence 1 I knew of, and it totally hit me!"

"Zaratul has accumulated a very eye-catching knowledge. Out of curiosity about fellow demons, well, I admit that I still have a little fear. I asked him about the Sequence 2 name of the "devil" pathway."

"He glanced at me and seemed to see through my inner thoughts. He bluntly said that it was because of the existence of my fellow countrymen that he postponed the timing of the first visit, because demons are always crazy and cold-blooded. He said, "the devil "He doesn't know the Sequence 2 corresponding to the path, but the name of Sequence 1 is "Filth King". Want to set up a demon empire? Hey, I'm horrified when I think about it."

"..."

"As far as I know, the 'monster' approach should be mastered by the school of life. This school seems to have a partial sequence of the 'pharmacist' approach. They advocate the triple division of the world of absolute rationality, the world of spirits, and the world of matter, um, also Pretty cool."

"Zaratul also meaningfully added that the Life School worships the moon. Why is it the moon? And not the goddess of the night?"

The long diary was finally read, with a huge amount of information. Klein once again experienced the feeling of being filled with knowledge. This was the first time he learned the name of Sequence 1, and it was two at a time!
"Snake of Mercury" and "King of Foulness" all sound very exciting. Although "Master of Miracles" is also very powerful, I always feel that it is still a little less imposing than "Prophet". I don't know the sequence 1 of the Seer What's the name of the potion... Through the sequence name of the "monster" pathway that he had known long ago, Klein judged that Zaratul was not lying.The diary that followed still contained a lot of information, such as the fact that Extraordinary traits would be passed on to offspring, which answered some doubts about Extraordinary creatures, and conformed to the law that the number of traits does not change.Turning back, he also learned that the current "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon was born in the era of Emperor Roselle, and he is a high-sequence powerhouse over 150 years old!
After reading all the diaries this time, Klein's thousands of emotions were all covered by the gray fog.He paused for a while, tapped the top of the long bronze table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I want to issue a task."

Task!Audrey's eyes were wide open, both apprehensive and excited. At the same time, she found that "The Hanged Man" seemed to have not changed, but actually became extremely nervous. Only "Sun" was still ignorant, and everything was as usual.

"You can choose to pick it up, or not to pick it up." With the help of the "Joker" ability, he said in a normal tone, "One of my followers has arrived in Backlund, and he wants to complete a thing, but it's not convenient for him to come forward. "

Seeing that "Justice" and the others did not speak, but were thinking independently, Klein issued his own mission:
"What he wants to accomplish is to assassinate Bakerland Jean Madan, the ambassador of the Intis Republic to the Kingdom of Loen."

A handful of memories.

In the beginning, Richard was just an ordinary good guy.Later, he learned to live within his means and moths to the flame.

Re-edit: Oh, yes, I always feel that Edward’s character image gives me a familiar feeling. Thinking about it carefully, it’s white and black + has a scary hobby in a certain aspect + a very attractive appearance and personality + A middle-aged man who can fight well + his wife passed away and has a child + a cross.

Isn't this Kotomine Kirei?
