Chapter 34 The Maritime Debate
The canoes of the Prophet and his son were gradually moving away from the island, and the two paddled desperately. They went around there, and the outline of the island became less and less clear.

When the dangerous island was hidden in the night and the sea, at this moment, the sea was calm, and the father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jalesto sat on the canoe, put down the oars for the time being, recalled the past, and then hugged his forehead in frustration.

"Father...it's my fault...I don't know why, that song affected my emotions."

Jalesto confided, and one could hear his regretful voice.

"This siren means the temptation in life. Obviously, you don't have the ability to resist the temptation."

Yaer finally felt relieved, and naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to teach his eldest son a lesson.

"No, I'm not incapable of resisting temptation!"

Jalesto retorted subconsciously, but he had nothing to say,

"I just, I just..."

Then, he hammered his thigh hard, and it was obvious that he couldn't speak.

Yaer pursued the victory and asked:

"What are you, what are you? You were just accidentally tempted and led us into danger?"

Jalesto lowered his head, and Yar didn't know whether his eldest son was obediently accepting his lesson, or waiting for the opportunity to refute.

The moonlight overhead was bright, and Yar lowered his oars.

Jalesto didn't say a word, he lowered his head for a long time, holding the bone knife his mother gave him with his right hand.

The night is like a light-transmitting curtain, spots are visible, and the vast starry sky is reflected on the sea surface. The father and son's canoe moves from one lonely star to another lonely star.

Yar looked up at the light in the night sky and let the canoe undulate slightly on the sea.

The father and son seemed to be the only ones left in the world.

After a long time, Alesto, who had been silent for a long time, slowly raised his head.

In the silent night, he wriggled his mouth and said a sudden sentence:
"Father, let's have a debate at sea."

His voice seems to be fleeting in this vast sea, and it seems that it will remain in history forever.

Yar heard the eldest son's words, he turned his head and stared at the child.

Finally, he nodded slightly and said:
"My child, what are you going to say? Are you not dealing with temptation well?"

In the calm, the father and son were about to start arguing.

"Exactly."

Jalesto answered in the affirmative,

"Father, tell me first, what else do you want to teach me?"

After hearing this, Arles readily accepted Jalesto's request. He cleared his throat and said after a brief silence:

"On the most important difference between our father and son, you think that God and God's creation of the world are the basis of all laws and a starting point, while I think that God is the end of all laws and is the supreme truth. It can be seen that , because you are full of curiosity about the unknown world, so you don't like to stick to the rules, you like to doubt. Am I right?"

Jalesto raised his face and replied:
"Exactly."

Yar stared at Jalesto, his hair and beard were white, but his eyes were full of energy, and said:

"I want to tell you that the world is so dangerous that you doubt everything. Don't you know that the road traveled by the predecessors has been proved to be safe. You choose to go another road. If you don't believe my experience, in the end, you will Falling into the end of being tempted by those monsters."

Yar's reprimand did not suppress Alesto's thinking, on the contrary, the eldest son proudly puffed up his chest after hearing the prophet's father's words, and it was obvious that he was going to kick off an eloquent prelude.

In the water on both sides of the canoe, silver-blue flying fish open their pectoral fins and leap over sparsely.

"Father, I want to refute you."

Jalesto said thus:

"As I said before, doubt is closer to the gods than foolish faith itself. Similarly, doubt is closer to the truth. You said that the road traveled by the predecessors has been proved to be safe, but is it necessarily the best road? Will I go faster and farther on another road?
If you ask me, we have to be skeptical.Only doubt can we think, and doubt is the proof of reason. "

Jalesto's voice came to an end, Yar's beard trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"But you can't doubt everything. There's always something, and it's the truth."

Jalesto immediately retorted:

"You have to doubt it to know it is the truth."

Yar was a little angry, raised his voice and said:
"But you were tempted!
You are tempted along the way of doubt.

This is extremely deadly.And you didn't solve the problem! "

Jalesto lowered his head, as if stumped by Yar's rebuttal, he could only stare at his father in the dark.

"Father, do you think we will avoid temptation?"

he asked softly.

"Why not avoid temptation?"

"If not avoided, it will kill us."

The Prophet asked his eldest son back.

"Then I'm going to say..."

"We can never avoid temptation!"

Jalesto raised his head abruptly, and said in an announcement.

Yar's pupils narrowed slightly, staring at Alesto.

"My father, isn't that temptation on our way?"

Yar nodded slightly, and retorted:
"Yes, that's why we have to avoid it."

Alesto said thus:
"But it's impossible.

Think about it again, is the temptation really the singing of those demons?Could it be that those singing voices are really a pair of hands dragging our boat abruptly?No, it's not!We took the initiative to paddle past. "

"Temptation is not a pair of visible hands, it is not something you can avoid if you want to, it is on the way.

It is impossible to avoid temptation, because there is no temptation. "

"It is our own choice to approach that island on our own initiative!"

"So, why can't we avoid temptation? Because temptation is us!"

"We humans want to explore, doubt, and don't want to stay in a closed world."

"On this journey, the only crucial question is that we know nothing about this world!"

Yalesto made a solemn announcement, and Yar felt a force that could not be ignored from these words. His eldest son was not only defending the temptation, but also for a more noble thing-exploring the unknown world in defense.

Flying fish flitted around, and there were more and more of them.It's just that both father and son didn't pay attention.

Hearing what the eldest son said, Yar couldn't help being a little angry, not only because of Alesto's eloquent refutation, but also because his eldest son pointed the finger at himself and his closed world in his eyes.

"You only see what you want to see,"

Yar suppressed his anger and said:
"As everyone knows, your ego is extremely deadly!"

Jalesto also had some blood surging, and suppressed his anger and said:
"Father, don't you admit that we know nothing about the world?"

Al jumped up from the canoe,
"Where do I not know that we know nothing?"

"You haven't experienced that era at all. People in the whole kingdom are troubled by a great question. No wise man can think of an answer about death."

"I want to tell you, I saw the truth before you! The truth we know nothing about!"

Hearing his father's bold words, Alesto suddenly calmed down. He suddenly felt a change of mood. It turned out that his father knew that the Logos people knew nothing about the world.

Aar's beard trembled, and he looked at Alesto,

"Alesto, my boy.

Do you think a closed world is bad? "

"A closed world is destined to have an end. As long as people see the end, people will know where to go, and will not fall into the crisis that swept the kingdom."

"Yes, you're right, we don't know anything..."

Al stood in the canoe with the waves rolling behind him,

"However, however..."

"We need a closed world precisely because we know nothing!"

Alesto listened to his father's discussion, and his eyes widened. Although the young priests headed by him had many conjectures about why his father chose a closed world, he never thought that the answer would be like this The twists and turns of the peaks and turns are so shocking.

Jalesto lowered his head and thought about the words to refute, but there were more and more flying fish around, which knocked the entire canoe to a sway.

Both father and son had to turn back from the debate and start scrambling for oars.

Jalesto looked behind his father, and he was shocked to see the mighty waves rolling up from the water.

There are more and more schools of fish around, not only flying fish, but all kinds of sea fish are fleeing in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, the canoe shook even more violently, reminding both father and son of the collapse of the mountain.

"There's something under the sea!"

Jalesto said loudly, he saw the shadow under the sea as huge as a mountain.

The shadow was getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer to them.

The father and son began to paddle desperately, trying to escape from here.

What backfired was…

They come across a primitive whale looking for food.

Therefore, on both sides of the canoe, there will be flying fish passing by constantly.

The canoe was beaten by the sea water, and the father and son tried their best not to escape, but under the action of the waves, they got closer and closer to the shadow.

bang.

A gigantic figure leaped out of the water suddenly, Yar and Jalesto raised their heads and looked at all this in astonishment.

The gigantic narwhal cast darkness in the midst of day, swallowing father and son in their mouths.

The dispute at sea between the prophet and his son begins with a calm sea,
Shortly after,
Ends with being swallowed by a giant narwhal.

There is no doubt that this will be an epic legend.
