Chapter 136 The Lost Luck

At Sipyrus, the sacrifice of fire and blood began again.

The loyal servants couldn't find the "untouchables" in a short time, so they began to arrest those who lived a normal life.

His master acquiesced in his approach.

It's scary, it's disturbing.

It also makes the ruled feel critical of the ruler.

But in Sipyrus, Tantalus is the king, and his orders cannot be disobeyed.

The so-called sacrifice of [-] is just an angry word. When a desperate person calms down, he will only become crazier.

Tantalus wants more than fifty thousand!
The army that was supposed to protect the country raised its butcher knife against the people it guarded. In the capital of Sipyrus, people became sacrifices before they knew everything.

When those who survived by chance realized that there were corpses everywhere, and no one could stand upright except themselves.

Then they too died, and became part of the heap of corpses that lay upon the ground, and were consumed by fire that sent forth fires that reddened the blackness of the night.

At the same time, within Chiron's territory.

Chiron summoned his disciple Dominique in the middle of the night and asked him: "I heard by chance from the fishermen that you have met the goddess of luck, Rika."

"What the hell were you talking about?"

"I didn't find her on the island of Luka, where did she go?"

"And, even if I came back, you didn't tell me the first time, what are you hiding?"

As Chiron's disciple, Chiron is the one who knows Dominique best. Although Dominique has tried his best to conceal it, the disbelief and panic that flashed deep in his heart cannot be concealed from Chiron.

"Tell me." Chiron stared at Dominic: "I am your teacher, you are my student, there is nothing to hide between us."

"Don't lie, the words you learned at home are not good things, they are not good for you."

Dominique couldn't help sticking his fingers to the seam of his trousers.

But soon he forced himself to let go.He calmed down, was able to look at himself from an objective perspective, and then suddenly realized - he was not wrong!
But he still kept his head down, maintaining a student's superficial respect for the teacher as usual: "She's looking for you." Dominique said.

"She wants to know your whereabouts, and seems to be very dissatisfied with your travel."

Chiron looked at Dominique: "So you told her, right?"

"Didn't I tell you and Kata, don't tell anyone my whereabouts, even if you have already guessed it in your heart, you must bury it in your heart."

"Have you forgotten? Dominique, my student."

Chiron's tone was calm, like flowing water on a gentle river, speaking eloquently, like an elder chatting with a younger generation.

But in Dominic's ears, these are already extremely heavy words.

He knelt down directly: "Teacher, I am innocent!"

"It's the goddess Luka who persecutes me! She is a god, and I dare not resist her."

"And she said she was just looking for you and had no other thoughts about you, so I told her."

Chiron sighed and helped Dominic up: "I'm not blaming you..."

"You are my student, and I always hope to teach you well. You were an unbelievers when you were young, you believed in yourself and in power."

"I thought it would be fine, but I'd rather you trust people a little more now."

Having said that, Chiron's tone is full of disappointment:
"Go back to sleep, Luka's matter is not a big problem."

……

After Dominic left, Chiron sighed: "Are you satisfied now? I reprimanded him."

Kata came out from the back room, he lowered his head: "If he had a bright heart, he wouldn't have knelt down just now."

"And then?" Chiron looked disappointed.

"You are all my students, even if you have your own shortcomings, I will accept you without reservation."

"This time you told me about Dominic. Although what you said was correct, it also revealed your prejudice."

"You don't like him, ever since I brought him back."

"Because he is a rich man's child, and his experience is completely different from yours, so you naturally define him as a bad person."

"That's wrong, Kata."

"If you still retain prejudice, you will always be bound by the limitations of prejudice, and you will not go far."

Kata obviously didn't listen to Chiron's words.

He looked persistently at Chiron: "Then why did the goddess Luka look for him instead of me?"

"That's because she knows that no matter how hard she tries to force her, it's impossible to get the news she wants from me."

Kata emphasized: "There is no way I will tell her!"

He paused and continued: "Teacher, you have been saying that Kata is an unbelievers, but is unbelief really good?"

"Is such a person confused or determined?"

"Teacher, I am a mortal. My whole life is a process of repeated gains and losses. I am always making choices, or I am on the way to make choices."

"But in my opinion, Dominic is an outlier even among unbelievers. In his eyes, there is nothing that cannot be given up."

"He doesn't know how to sacrifice at all, he only sacrifices others."

"He has no empathy, and he will not shed a tear when he sees the death of others. He thinks it should be done. In his eyes, it is a matter of course to sacrifice the few to make the majority possible."

"However, he will never be that minority!"

"How sad that there are still people who will never be in the minority."

"But teacher, don't you think——life is equal?"

Chiron had been listening carefully.He heard the subtle approval in his eyes behind him.

"You should talk more, Kata."

"Life is indeed equal!"

"I think, even if I will teach countless disciples in my life, there will be no one who can get my thoughts like you. Most of them can only learn my skills and get glory in order to achieve my goal. .”

"Only you are the most special, you are my most outstanding disciple."

"But before that, you still need to hone in."

Chiron thought for a while, and suddenly asked Kata, "What do you think of the goddess of luck, Luka?"

This question is like a school test, a question about what Kata has learned.

Kata didn't dare to neglect: "I thought she was not a good person, because she came to us suddenly, very similar to those gangsters who took advantage of the chaos to make profits."

"But after contacting it, I don't think it looks like it."

"She seems to have come for you."

"Her purpose is on you, not a bad purpose..."

Chiron thought about it.He smiled: "I think so too..."

"A great god once revealed to me that Luka is special, as if to imply to me that she is not malicious."

"But Luka is weird, as long as I don't know her purpose for a day, I can only guard against her for a day."

"After all, there is no big mistake in being careful."

Kata said bluntly: "Since I already know that the goddess Luka has no malicious intentions, why not ask her directly?"

Chiron smiled and sighed: "If only I could be as frank as you..."

"Perhaps as you said, people cannot live without faith. Faith may not be to gods, or it may be some kind of perseverance..."
