Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 32 Hymns
"Lilith, is what Big Brother Roger said true?"
A look of disbelief Ryan didn't believe what he had heard. That's right, on the destined thorny road to overthrow Fitz's rule, he had imagined the life-and-death parting between the two, perhaps it was his sharp blade piercing his chest when the ruins were discovered by the law enforcement team, or the stronghold of the True Wisdom Society was breached by Fitz, and he guarded her until the last moment of heroism, but it definitely not in such an inexplicable way, powerless, and desperate.
Looking at the thin figure, Lilith's face was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "In the end, you heard it by Little Ryan, I thought you would be the last to know....... yes, I'm dying, I guess it's going to be a few days away. ”
Hearing Lilith's own admission, Ryan's eyes turned red, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Why is this happening, didn't we say that we would recreate the wizarding world that Teacher Yvette said together?"
"Don't cry, shouldn't life and death be a normal thing for us?" Lilith got up from the couch and stared sideways at Ryan, who was trying to dodge, in a gentle tone, as if she wasn't talking about herself, "Remember what you said a few years ago when Cohen was captured and burned at the stake by the law enforcement team?"
Ryan looked away, trying not to let Lilith see him sobbing, "That'..... That's different. ”
"What's the difference, little Ryan?" Lilith ripped the hair from Ryan's forehead and pressed her forehead against his, "I still remember your steadfast look, the day you said, we are all velvet grass in this desert, and one day we will wither, be blown away in the black wind, and be crushed in the yellow sand, but even the humble fluffy grass, even a little spark, they can burn, and there will come a day when the flames of the prairie will make the guilty pay for their sins." ”
"Now, it's time for me to burn. ”
Looking at the boy in front of her, who was already taller than herself, Lilith had a smile on her face, just like the first time Ryan remembered seeing her.
Ryan bit his lip to keep himself from crying, the deteriorating situation of the True Knowing Society in the past few years had to make him let go of those newborn feelings in his heart, and stubbornly called Lilith a mentor, and when he thought he could face all the cruel realities, fate slapped Ryan hard.
Elway poked Roger's arm, and the scene in front of him touched which of his heartstrings made Elway's voice extraordinarily low, "Should we go and comfort them?"
"Wouldn't it be better to solve the problem than to comfort him?" said Roger as he clutched his right index finger with an eager look.
"Do you have a solution to the concept out of control?" Elway's exclamation attracted the attention of Ryan and the others, remembering Roger's various magical performances, the helpless Ryan rekindled a glimmer of hope, he wiped his tears with his sleeve, and asked urgently, "Brother Roger, do you really have a way to save Lilith?"
"I'm trying to figure it out, don't worry. ”
Closing his eyes, endless forbidden knowledge filled every corner of Roger's mind, even if it had been sorted out by his own preliminary classification, it was still a tedious project to search for a certain part of knowledge in the vast amount of information. Fortunately, thanks to the tempering of countless deaths and rebirths, the extremely high soul strength allows him to retrieve the part of information he urgently needs in his mind at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
"Found it, keyword: concept....... What the hell? The relevant information is locked, please get official observer permission to check it out?Boss, aren't you a cheater?"
Roger's cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and his own cowhide was blown out, wouldn't he be so embarrassed?
Roger's evasive gaze was discovered by Lilith, and the empathetic Lilith grabbed Ryan's neck and held him in her arms like when she was a child, her ethereal voice was neither sad nor joyful, "Don't be embarrassed, even the teacher of the second-order secret magician can't handle this kind of situation, and it's just barely helping me suppress it." ”
Lilith's ethereal voice mixed with Ryan's faint cry made Roger on the side raise his eyebrows. Her lonely and gentle voice always makes people linger in it, as if she can forget the noise of the world, even if she is riddled with her own evil diseases and gloom, this is the concept, the hymn.
The person who recites the hymn will make the listener feel in their hearts the call of some great will, whether it is a god standing on the other side of the clouds, or the ruler of a kingdom, or something else, depending on your beliefs, so many owners of this concept will work on religion.
Thinking of this, Roger's eyes narrowed, which reminded him of the most famous possession of the modern concept of 'hymns', the most pious divine servant of the Feather Clan's belief in the Lord of the Sky Ouranos, the Substitute Bennis.
According to an unverifiable rumor, the surrogate Bennis once had a conceptual runaway when he was a teenager, and was on the verge of existential collapse.
Disillusioned, Bennis stumbles into the ruined temple of Ouranos, the Lord of the Skies, in Tallinn, and collapses helplessly in front of the broken statue of Ouranos, the hymn of nothingness that his concept has achieved around him.
And so, a miracle was born at that moment.
Ouranos, who had never shown miracles for nearly a thousand years, descended on a great will at that moment, and the golden light was like wings of light in the boy's body, and the out-of-control 'hymns' miraculously returned to peace, and derived an external potential called 'enlightenment', and since then, all who listen to the hymns with a reverent heart will feel the enlightenment that Ouranos has given to all beings.
Putting aside the exaggerated descriptions in the legend, what caught Roger's attention the most was that the golden light that melted into Bennis's body was the one that calmed down the concept of losing control, and Roger couldn't help but have a conjecture when he thought of the fact that the gods were all condensed concepts.
"Can the concept of the high position affect the concept of the low position? So can my concept of 'initial' affect her 'hymn'? So maybe I can turn back her concept to a point in time where it doesn't get out of hand. ”
Holding his cheeks, Roger couldn't help but think like this, but such speculation is not safe, without knowing the truth, any speculation can only be a deduction triggered by false appearances, and eventually make things develop in an unpredictable direction.
The use of concepts to influence concepts is an area that Roger has never touched, and in his long life, he has experienced only one situation in which concepts have been affected by other concepts, and that is the time when his once complete concept of 'rebirth' was deprived of Caesar's unknown mysterious concept, and the remaining conceptual residue of being deprived barely constituted the power of this 'initial'.
While Roger was still thinking about the possibility of this plan, as if he had lost all hope, Ryan, who was held in Lilith's arms, struggled and cried, no longer had the courage to disguise himself as an adult, as if venting his anger, his hands were clenched into fists, and he kept pounding on the floor of the living room, and red blood oozed from his fists, and blood splattered onto the gray velvet carpet, awakening the scarlet color of the carpet itself.
Elway stared at the tragic scene in front of him, wondering if he should step forward to stop the deranged Ryan. He didn't expect that Ryan's thin body contained such power, and in Ryan's unconscious resistance, Lilith's white and tender arms had been injured by mistake.
Elway, who couldn't look at it, was about to go up to stop him, and an unknown language began to echo between Lilith's lips, which made Elway stop, it sounded meaningless. The accumulation of syllables at will, with her ethereal voice, collided with an unusually moving melody, as if countless female voices were singing in a low voice with Lilith's voice, making people feel that they were under the vast and ethereal boundless starry sky, looking around, the vast stars twinkling on the curtain of the night, arching the supreme lord in the depths of the stars, benevolently overlooking all living beings.
Even Roger, who had always scoffed at religion, stopped thinking and let his soul immerse himself. This is the power of the 'hymn' to infect people's hearts, and the effect of the out-of-control 'hymn' affects the hearts of several people indiscriminately, if Roger has faith in a certain god, then he will feel the immensity of his god and fall to the ground and weep bitterly.
I have to say here that it is really unlucky for Ranth, the god of death, to find such a subordinate who firmly believes in atheism.
Glancing at Elwe, who was touched by his eyes but didn't make any moves, Roger smiled meaninglessly, "It doesn't look like you're as devout as you say you believe in Vos, Elwe." Roger muttered, but didn't care.
The gentle singing soothed Ryan's broken heart, and Ryan, who had fallen into a manic state, gradually stopped struggling, and his eyes regained some clarity, but the ensuing exhaustion soon made him fall into a stupor.
"Sleep, Ryan, everything will be fine when you wake up. Seeing that Ryan's expression calmed down, Lilith pulled up her messy hair and showed a gentle smile to Roger and the others: "Sorry to let you two see the joke." ”
Roger waved his hand lightly, looking at the girl in front of him who was only about 20 years old, in his own world, but still at the age of college, shopping with his girlfriends, falling in love is the life of a girl of their age, and the girl in front of him began to face the ruthless fate early, with a smile on his face that saw through life and death, which made Roger can't help but feel a little absurd.
"Then may I ask the powerful mysticist, would you like to lead us down?" Leaning sideways to let Ryan pilllow on her lap, Lilith asked with a smile: "The teacher has been waiting for the arrival of a powerful mystic like you, and the teacher always says that you will appear, and they will not disappear on the mainland." In those last days, the teacher always said to me with a confused expression, if it weren't for that catastrophe, you children should have become the golden generation on the continent, instead of being in this plane now. ”
"The teacher is actually a very weak person, it was Fitz's betrayal that pushed her on the path of leading us, we are her last hope, but unfortunately we failed to live up to the teacher's expectations. ”
"You don't have to rebel against Fitz's rule like we do, you can lead them to other places, and I will tell you everything that happens here, and it's up to you to decide whether to stay or not" Stroking Ryan's face, Lilith's face softened a little, "They are all very good children, in fact, what we need is to lie dormant and wait for the right time." ”
"You're so relieved to hand over your true knowledge to a stranger like me, aren't you afraid I'm Fitz's man?" said Roger calmly.
"Just as the teacher believed in me, I am willing to believe in you. Lilith said.
