Chapter 192 Rules
"The last ray of hope?" Fei Qi carefully squeezed the crystal bottle, shook it slightly, and then asked the little angel of the Holy Light, "The goddess wants me not to cheat, and then I have to overcome obstacles and follow my heart?And then with the last ray of hope, even the devil can follow the guidance of the light to get out of hell? Did you hear me right?"
"Hmm!" the little angel of the Holy Light nodded vigorously - in fact, it was a big flip in the air. "Although it was not the goddess herself, Saint Kipling took me to the Wise Angel of Advisory. It's beautiful, it's wise, it's what it says. β
Well, though not the goddess herself, is there anything else in the kingdom of God that can be hidden from the goddess - she must know. Moreover, this time there was also the old man Kiplin with him, which was believable enough. Even if the goddess didn't say anything, but the old man Kiplin told him, "Go to hell, you can become a devil," and Fitch would gladly accept this advice.
"Little angel, how do you use this bottle? I think it's completely closed and has no opening!"
The little angel of the Holy Light suddenly hovered in mid-air, as if frozen, and after three seconds suddenly shouted, "Oops! I forgot to ask! If you can't use it, isn't it equivalent to taking it for nothing? Oops, Feiqi, you won't blame me, right?"
"No, it won't. Feige smiled and pouted at Midnight. The black cat immediately arched its back and squinted. Seeing this, the little angel flew out with a whoosh.
"Don't chase me!" "Mao Mao!" "Don't chase me!" "Mao Mao!"
It can't fly at midnight, and the little angel of the Holy Light only needs to fly upwards and can easily avoid it. Moreover, the light can pass through walls, but the ghost cat cannot...... So, Feige just played a game between the two of them and had fun, and didn't care about it at all.
He still has the life event of becoming a devil to consider!" "Xia Ni, help me get a piece of paper, I want to record it and make a detailed plan. β
Not only can Xia Ni read information from Feiqi's subtle facial expressions, but Fei Qi can now do similar things to Xia Ni. In fact, if two people are very close and willing to show their true selves and care for each other, then their souls will influence each other, resulting in a special tacit understanding. Feige's understanding of Xia Ni doesn't even need to look at her expression - he can't see it if he wants to. All it takes is an inexplicable tremor of the fingers and a slightly lower angle of the shoulders than usual, and that is enough.
"Are you worried?"
"Yes. Shani nodded. She brought a pen and paper for Feige, and sat down beside him, leaning against him, shoulder to shoulder. "I'm worried about your self-confidence. β
"Why do you say that?"
"Feige, you're very smart, and you don't have a question about it, both in terms of long-term planning and on-the-spot reactions. Magician, Priest, Chief Advisor, Tournament Champion, Giant Slayer, you can always get one to have a victory. These victories are what you deserve, and these victories build your confidence. But self-confidence is also a risk, and the failure caused by self-confidence is often a very serious rout, and even never to turn back. I mean death, Feige, I'm worried about that. β
"Well, that makes sense. Feige picked up a quill, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper: "Self-discipline to avoid demonization, the first one: to prevent self-confidence from turning into conceit, and the second one: to proceed from reality rather than from conviction......
Xia Ni tilted her head and looked, "What are you preparing for?"
"To safely remove the devil's part from my soul, I can only follow the devil's rules, so becoming a devil is an unavoidable step. But I don't really want to fall into the devil, or at least limit the extent of the fall. If demonization is a contagion of hell, then I have to track the symptoms and treat them. β
"Can it be treated?"
"It's okay until you get to a certain point. While there is no clear line, I know that most souls can be redeemedβas written in the manual of the church's atonement and confession pastor. The light of the goddess and the evil aura of hell are essentially a change in the state of the soul, they are the opposite, so confession and confession rituals can balance the effects of hell. And the most important point of confession and confession is not the ritual spell and the priest who performs the ceremony, but the self-knowledge of the confessor. I'm going to list enough questions to make sure I can't make sure that my mind is being seriously affected. β
Shani shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand. Determining the state of mind by answering questions is something that does not exist in this world governed by gods, and it is impossible for Shani to have heard of it. However, she has a point, that is, when she encounters something she has never heard of, she will not be in a hurry to affirm or deny it, but quietly watch, think hard, and cautiously produce opinions. Therefore, she did not bother Feige for the time being, but accompanied him to complete the "precept of avoiding demonization".
The distinction between order and chaos is obvious, but is there a clear line between good and evil? If anyone can explain this in a sentence or two, it must be a lie. According to his own understanding, Fei Qi added some content in the goddess canon, and wrote more than two hundred articles. Each one is a scene or a question so that Feige can ask himself: What will happen to me. These questions cover most of Feige's life experiences and will continue to increase after he becomes a devil. In short, this is a psychological questionnaire that is used to make a diagnosis.
Seeing this questionnaire, Xia Ni knew what it meant to "answer questions to determine the state of mind". "You should show it to the bishops of the Church, I think the Inquisitors of the Sacred Heart will be very interested in this. Feige, you're always going to be surprised. β
"Of course!" Feige blew lightly on the ink that had not yet dried, and then heard a high, soothing trumpet sound outside the castle.
"Oh, I must have come to the castle gate, it would be rude not to greet him. Feige pushed the paper in front of Xia Ni: "Help me put it away, let others see it, I hurried over." Whew, fortunately, I don't need to change my clothes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up. β
He jumped up, pushed the door open and ran out, and then cast the Qi Elemental Rope, entangled the Pit Sword and the Cat Teasing Stick that had fallen in the room, and then dragged it over. Xia Ni heard a thumping sound in the corridor outside, and a servant exclaimed: "My lord, that's the window, it's more than ten meters high below!
Shani smiled softly. Feige wasn't going to be fine, he had a rope of air elements to hang himself from, so getting out of the window to the castle gate was the quickest way to do it - as long as he didn't get stuck in the narrow window with the Pit Sword and the Cat Teaser.
The two hundred questions on the table must be put away, but Xia Ni thought about it, picked up the pen and added a question at the end: If you can't see Xia Ni's face for the rest of your life, can you still live with Xia Ni for the rest of your life?
"It doesn't feel right, it doesn't seem to be a matter of good or evil...... Oops, reckless, do you want to smear it?" Xia Ni thought about it, bit her lip slightly, and then decided. She carefully rolled up the piece of paper, tied it with string, and found a scroll to put it in it, without making any further changes.
On the other hand, Feige was lucky not to get stuck in the window, and the same luck allowed him to come to the door earlier than Didlet. As the chief advisor to Minas Ihir, he stands at the front, flanked by Andrew's aide-de-camp, Pierce. As soon as he saw Feige, he said, "I thought you weren't going to come! Where have you been, I haven't found you for a long time!"
"I'm in the castle, you haven't found it?uh, you're not very safe here!" Feige smiled before saying, "Thank you for coming to me, but the man you sent didn't check the confessional prayer room, which is a blind spot." By the way, what about Andrew? Did he go to greet him?"
"Yes, he passed, and it was more solemn. Pierce touched the newly grown stubble on his chin, leaned in close to Feige and asked, "Help me with an idea: do you want to accept the gift from the Duchy of Aria?"
"In what name?"
"Opening up the territory allowed Aria's army to take a detour to attack Feinberg. Pierce sighed: "Lord Andrew heard the news and asked me to deal with it directly." I think he's angry, the territory was originally opened for a pardon, and these thank-you gifts are equivalent to making it clear that the pardon order is useless. β
"Well, it's understandable that Andrew would be angry, but if it were me, I'd take the gift. It's all sent to the door, how can there be any reason to return it. Fei Qi had already seen the elven lord's mount, so he sped up and said, "I suggest that all those gifts be used for people's livelihood projects, that is, disaster relief, poverty alleviation, road construction, building houses and bridges, etc., or holding a festival, and donating some to the temple and church." All of them are used for good deeds, and if you are not happy, you will be happy. If there are more gifts, if the Grand Duke of Aria gives less, then there will be more publicity, and it is clear that he is true to his word, but in fact he is picking the door and plucking his hair. β
Pierce nodded vigorously and wrote down all of them, word for word.
After many days of not seeing, Didrite was no different from before. That's right, the life span of the elves is too long, and the years need to be slowly constructed to carve out the wind and frost changes. Feige raised his hand in greeting from afar, something like "I'm here, I'm here!" feeling. Andrew smiled helplessly, and the elves looked serious, obviously not knowing what expression to use to deal with.
"Look, your chief advisor is fine, not an extra arm or a leg. Andrew sat on his horse and said to Didlet.
"I know he's going to be fine, but the problem is that he went with you to Feinberg's front. The church still has a big opinion on this matter, and may not punish you as a lord, but Feige is an exile, and he doesn't have indulgences!"
"If the Cardinal decides to punish Feige, then I'll take it for him. Whether it's as the main person responsible for this or his brother, I should and will do it. β
"It's good to have your promise. Only then did the expression on Didlet's face become a little lighter, at least a little smile.
What follows is more streamlined: welcome into the castle, a tour of each other, and then a meeting in a warm and friendly atmosphere, where constructive opinions are reached on certain issues, demonstrating the strong will to work together and make progress between the two realms. It was a successful meeting, a ...... (Many words omitted below)
Feige was overwhelmed. Andrew's chef was brought out of Hall's family, and the craftsmanship was superb, and the willingness to use ingredients made everyone happy. It's just that at the banquet, Dedelet didn't glance at him with a stern gaze, which made Feige a little frightened. Uh, except for the long-term absence, it doesn't seem to have provoked her, right? No, even if he stays in the lighthouse territory, isn't it to deal with the matter of "smuggling nobles"? This is not less to make money for the territory!
What a rare show that the Elven Lord "frowned" at her human chief advisor! Only a small percentage of the main officials of the Lighthouse Lords (except for paladins) came from the Church, and most of them were related to the Hale family, and some were even sent by the family at all. They all knew Feiqi more or less, so they all began to think about how Feiqi's long lifespan would affect the future of the family if Feiqi had an elven wife......
I have to say that they completely deviate from the main line of the story, so I won't repeat it here. The elf was so pleased with the preparation of the feast that as soon as it was over, Didrite called Feige into her room.
The elf took off her cloak and threw it on the bed, then untied her shoelaces and threw them out with one kick after another. The shoe makes a thumping sound when it hits the wall, and then the same sound on the floor. Downstairs seems to be the strategy room, will Andrew bring his staff to a meeting? How will they feel when they hear this sound coming from upstairs? Forget it, Feige raised his hand and used silence to protect the room.
"Lord Didrite Andomir," Feige said in such a solemn manner, "what happened?
"If you make a mistake, I will apply to the Sacred Heart Priest for sanctions, review and clean you up, and then find a bishop-level atonement confession priest to rescue you. So, what I'm angry about has nothing to do with you. Didrite jumped to the bed and said, "I don't want to be this lord anymore." β
"You didn't want to do it in the first place, I know that!" Feige moved a chair and sat down closest to the door, "Is it the elves who are putting pressure on you again?"
"yes, it's still the prophecy. Didrite looked at the ceiling, let out a long sigh, and said, "Elven Island wants Minas Ishel to start taking over the elves now, and there are a thousand people in the first batch. Although the potatoes were abundant, Eddie had calculated that there were so many more people at once, and the territory could not bear it at all. What do you say?"
"It's not that simple, is it?, is there something else that Elf Island has said, so you don't even have room to refuse?"
"You're so smart. Didlet's eyelids drooped, "They did say something, but it was mostly my personal business. Feige, can you not ask? I'm really embarrassed to say right now. β
"Okay, then I won't ask. Feige thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been back in a while, but I trust Eddie's calculations. How big is the gap, and can the income of the nearest territory be filled?"
Eddie said that the territory needed luck to accept so many people at once. β
"Unless it's the luck promised by the goddess, you can't rely on it to solve the problem. Feiqi scratched his head vigorously: "Didlet, don't worry, a thousand elves take it." But you need to tell the elven island that they must be paid in the same way as the smuggling nobles. β
"Smuggle elves? The Elven Council of Elders won't agree. β
"The humans who have just entered Minas Ihir from Feinberg have paid their money, but the elves have not paid, so is the elven island consciously trying to provoke conflicts in the territory and then enter turmoil? Fei Qi pinched his nose, softened his tone and said, "If the elf doesn't want to give money, then it's okay to give food." Your elven island is in the middle of the sea, can you catch fish? I can give the frozen circle to the elves, and I can also collect frozen fish. In the face of starvation, catching fish can only be regarded as a trivial matter, right?"
"No, elves don't do anything like that. But I can try to convince the elders to send something of value, use your previous reasoning, and sell it for food. β
"Not all places have grown potatoes like Minas Ihir, and although the war has just ended, Feinberg is still in turmoil. Turmoil means high food prices. Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to sell potato dough to make money, but now there is no drama in and out. Fei Qi pondered for a while, frowned and said, "Wait, if these elves didn't come here, they would have to eat, right?"
"Elven Island is inexplicably closed this year. "It is for this reason that the Presbyterian Church thinks that the prophesied end has begun," said Didlet. However, I prayed to the goddess many times, and the other elven paladins and priests also prayed the same prayer, and the answer was no. Now there is also a big difference of opinion on the elven island, so the pressure of a thousand elves has reached Minas Ihir. β
"All you have to do is tell me that the harvest is gone, that there is no food, and that's enough. Those elves Minas Ihir asked for it. "Feige thought of the people who were busy with the prophecy of the end of Elven Island, whether it was Archbishop Mackintosh who eloquently killed Bishop Nathaniel, or the elven assassins who collaborated with Archduke Aria, could these hidden forces also be in action?
Didriet is too conspicuous, and she's not Feige to be resurrected after being assassinated. Now she was very embarrassed, what would happen next?" "Let the elves come, but when you get to Minas Ishir, you must obey the rules. There is not much food here, so you have to farm, breed, hunt, and work. If the Council of Elders can't even agree to this......"
Feige snorted, "...... It would be better to issue all the elven weapons, and then start a war with the kingdom of Aria and fight your way out. β
