Chapter 124: Sparks
"What is a 'brave'?" Artoria was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Generally speaking, there are two definitions of bravery. Artoria said to Charles, "One is a man who has accomplished a certain feat, and the other is a man with great power. β
There are also other sayings, such as that people from other worlds are assumed to be brave, and sometimes children with great talents are called that. β
"But the last two points are based on the first two, because people from other worlds and children with great talents can often meet the standards of having great strength and accomplishing certain merits. β
Charles nodded thoughtfully, and after taking a sip of the milk in the glass, he asked, "So you have made so many feats and are still sung by people, then you are also considered a brave man, right?"
Then he understood the reason for Artoria's wry smile, "I? I'm just an appendage of the brave. β
"Isn't that fair?" said Charles, indignantly, "you've done more than he did." β
"Forget it, it's all over. "Artoria doesn't want to say too much about her past topics.
Then Charles asked, "Why wasn't Philip a brave man back then?"
I asked him this question, but he didn't answer it directly. "But I can tell that he has a deep dislike for the title of 'Brave', as if a brave man had robbed him of all his money, so he turned it down." β
Charles opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, he almost wanted to ask if there was a brave man who went to the ancestor's house to rummage through the cabinets and get "herb Γ 2", "copper coins Γ 5" and so on. After all, he has done this kind of thing since he played the original version of "Sword and Fairy 1".
However, there were times when such things overturned, and there were once four warriors in bikini armor who got a lot of money by going to the homes of city residents when they had no money, and then lived a luxurious and comfortable life, and finally were cleaned up by the angry residents......
Charles asked, "Then what kind of feats do you have to make to be considered brave?"
"From destroying the demonic beasts that harm one side, to killing important generals in the war with the demons. Artoria said, smiling.
"Does the former Supreme Prosecutor General who killed the demons count?" Charles said with a smile.
Artoria rubbed Charles' head, "If you have the ability, just try." β
"Hahahaha......" Charles smiled, "I can't bear such a beautiful beauty." β
Then he suffered a brain breakdown.
"What bad things are you thinking about again?" At this time, Elizabeth, who was wearing an emerald green dress, walked in, and she heard Charles just speak, "Actually, it is the same thing to kill the nephew of the Demon King. β
Charles shrunk his neck, realizing that he was indeed a humanoid self-propelled experience pack.
"How is your body feeling now?" asked Elizabeth.
"The fatigue has returned. Charles said.
Then he told all the things that happened on the altar that day, but the whereabouts of the broken godhead he implied that he was taken away by Reimu according to An Jiao's meaning, and the fewer people who knew about such things, the better. He is now a real "guilty person", and it is still very tempting for people to break the godhead.
The being used by the believers to perform the evil ritual was gone, much to the worry of Barnett I and the others. But now that he has been taken away by God, there is nothing to worry about.
Elizabeth then tells Charles about their experience, only to accidentally crush the cup in his hand while he is drinking milk.
"So it was the two of them who deceived the fourth prince of Bischberg when my family died?" asked Charles.
"It's not certain yet. Elizabeth shook her head and replied, "It's just one of the possibilities that exists." β
She picked up the tablecloth on the table to help Charles clean his hands that were stained by the milk in the cup, and said, "You have a good rest today, and we'll leave here in two days." β
Charles asked, "What happened to the children's bodies?"
"Some of the children were able to find their families, whose bodies were brought home by the Temple of the God of War. Elizabeth said, "Those who cannot find their families are buried in the cemetery of the temple." β
Charles let out an "um", and from his voice it could be heard that his mood was not high.
Elizabeth took him to her lap and sat down, then took him into her arms, patting him gently on the back with one hand.
She whispered to Charles, "There is light in this world, and there are shadows where the light does not shine. β
"What we have to do is to keep the light in our hearts and remove the shadows of this world. β
Charles, who rested his head on Elizabeth's shoulder, nodded, and at the same time he reached out and hugged Elizabeth's waist tightly.
The skeletons on the altar and the more than eighty remains in the cave left a psychological shadow on Charles, and at the same time taught him a lesson.
Reality once again told him that this was not China where he could go out alone for supper at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, but a different world where danger often accompanied him. There are dangerous monsters here, and there are even more dangerous people.
Charles, in his previous life, he was not like that who only typed on the keyboard and said, "Send you to death, and I will come", he did a lot of righteous and courageous things, and he once led a group of workers with shovels and hoes to chase a robber who snatched passers-by's mobile phones to pee his pants.
It is impossible for him to remain indifferent to the heinous murder of nearly 100 innocent children, especially when he has the ability to seek justice for these children.
"Sister," Charles asked, "is life always so painful? or is it only when I was a child?"
Elizabeth patted him on the back, "Everyone in the world suffers, but what we want to do is to make this world less suffering." My father once said that if everyone could contribute a little, the world would be a better place. β
Charles nodded, although he was an adult in his previous life, but in this world, because of the different rules of the game, he is still a child in the stage of reshaping the three views.
He clearly understands that it is extremely difficult for him to make too many changes in this world.
He didn't know if he would be able to go back to the old world, and if he couldn't, then he might as well make this worldβeven the part around himβa little better, even if it was just a little spark.
