Chapter Seventy-Seven: Paladin!
"I ...... I never knew, I was scared, why did the Light choose me? Oss's voice, at this moment, seemed extremely unconfident, and he babbled the reason, "Before the age of thirteen, I didn't know anything at all. The beginning of all of this www.biquge.info was due to the failure of the portal of the Darkmoon Circus, and I accidentally went to Danmoro. β
"And then?" Archbishop Fao's voice was unfazed, and he asked earnestly.
Oss looked at the lake in front of him with fascinate eyes, and the clear Lordamere Lake seemed to have become a mirror, reflecting the memory scroll that seemed to be only three years ago, but in fact more than three hundred years ago!
Descending from the sky, he arrived alone in a snowy field of Dan Morro; When he was at a loss, he was lucky to be rescued by a returning dwarven patrol team; After following the dwarves back to Karanos, he did the dwarves a favor and joined the patrol team that saved his life.
Immediately afterwards, he bought equipment, but when he set off for the first time to do a mission, he was attacked by a snow leopard and almost died! And after reaching the top of the Flash Ridge, he unexpectedly relied on his talent to sneak attack the snow leopard, but finally treated it and let it go.
Finally, on the island in the middle of the lake in the frozen lake, you will be besieged by endless wolves! At the most dangerous moment, the Holy Light erupted! Not only saved Oss himself, but also his dwarven companions!
"Later, I worshipped a teacher in the Dwarven Kingdom, who taught me how to use a sword and taught me how to gain greater power!" In the end, Oss said with infinite gratitude and happiness in his slightly distracted gaze, "But I will never forget that on the snow-capped mountains of Kazmodan, before the teacher taught me to use more powerful power, what he taught me was thinking and temperance!" The teacher told me to keep in mind that I must learn to think often and think about why I have so much power! The teacher told me to keep in mind that if I abuse my power without restraint, I will be lost in it! β
The wind on the lake, now a little faster, rolled up waves and washed over the boat. Archbishop Fao withdrew the fishing rod, turned around, and gently took Oss into his arms: "Child, you have suffered. β
Is it bitter?
Oss didn't know that at first he would miss his family and friends on Earth, but step by step, he had already gathered new companions around him. And in the future, he will continue to walk step by step.
"You have a good teacher, Os, a great teacher." Archbishop Fao did not ask for the name of Mr. Os, because Oss had strangely not said any of the names in what he had just said, "So, I would like to ask you a question, is that okay?" β
"You say, Mr. Fao."
"Why didn't you kill that snow leopard?"
"Huh?" Oss was stunned, although the appearance of the snow leopard in his memory, although it was still very clear because of the strength of his soul, but he never thought about it again.
"Don't you know?" Archbishop Fao asked.
Between Os's eyebrows, there was a hint of entanglement, recalling his mood at the time: "I just ...... I don't want it to die, to be killed by me......"
"It hurt you first, and if you hadn't reacted fast enough to dodge, it would have killed you. So you had enough reason to get revenge, and you did! Kill that snow leopard and all you get is compliments. Archbishop Fao's words were tinged with seduction.
Oss didn't answer, frowning and silent. In his heart, he actually very much disagreed with Archbishop Fao's words, but he couldn't fault it.
"Let's put it another way." Archbishop Fao analyzed it from another angle, "You joined a dwarven patrol team, but you were only thirteen years old at that time, and you were not physically strong, and you didn't have any combat experience, so you can say that you can't do anything, right?" β
"Yes."
"Then you set out and climbed a mountain full of danger and wildness. Your teammates are four dwarves with a lot of combat experience, and an adult brown bear. β
"Yes."
"At this time, you broke into the territory of that snow leopard and were targeted, and you, the weakest in the team, happened to be singled out because of a fault."
"Yes."
Archbishop Fao gave a definition of what happened: "The snow leopard will attack you, and it is not surprising to anyone with experience in the wild. Therefore, this snow leopard has nothing wrong with it, which is not only its nature and instinct, but also the law of survival in nature. β
"Yes." Oss couldn't agree more.
"The first attack allowed you to get away with it, and in the face of a weak you, it had no reason to give up, so it followed. But what it doesn't know is that you have the gift of perception and a treasure it doesn't haveβwisdom! You use your advantage to succeed in the counter-sneak attack! This is also in line with the law of survival of nature, which misestimates a young man full of wisdom, so he must pay the price! β
At this moment, listening to Archbishop Fao's analysis sentence by sentence, this trivial matter that had been forgotten by Auth had been completely clarified: "But Mr. Fao, I think that although it bit me, I returned it with a shot and a sword, and its injuries are far more serious than mine, which is really enough." β
Archbishop Fao listened to Os's steady expression, and did not say anything more, but laughed heartily. Two people, one old and one young, sat in the boat and drifted with the waves.
"Fao-sensei?"
"Os, let's talk about the three spirits and the eight virtues."
"Yes." Oss took a deep breath with a solemn expression, "The three spirits are courage, patience, and glory!" The eight virtues are humility, valor, justice, mercy, honor, spirit, sacrifice, and honesty! β
"What qualities do you think you have in yourself?"
Oss scratched his head embarrassedly, not wanting to praise himself, so he said, "I don't have much courage, otherwise I wouldn't be confused now; I don't value glory very much, I just want to be an ordinary person. And among the eight virtues, I don't meet the more. β
Archbishop Fao listened with pleasure, rubbed one of Os's blonde hair, and quipped: "If you only talk about your own shortcomings, at least you fit the definition of honesty, and I think so." β
Oss scratched his head again and did not answer.
"Now, I understand why you question yourself, question the Light. Because in your heart, you may think that your sword moves were taught to you by your teacher, and that you practiced them by yourself. Your strength, which is also taught to you by your teacher, is through your own perception. β
"Yes, it took me a full thirty months to get the approval of the power. At that time, I failed, was repulsed, hesitated, but in the end I persevered. β
Archbishop Fao stretched out his right hand, put it on Os's heart, and said, "So in your own heart, you will feel that the Holy Light has come too easily, and you feel as if you have done nothing, and the Holy Light has chosen you. Then, unsurprisingly, you flinch, get scared, and question the power that came so easily. β
Oss nodded heavily.
"But you've already done it."
"Me? Done? What did I do? β
"If, in the beginning, you have no pity, you have no feeling for the sorrow of a stranger, you choose to stand by and ignore it; If you have no mercy at the beginning, you choose to kill the snow leopard that bites you without respect or recognition for a creature living in nature. All I can say is that you can't be wrong, but the Light won't love you like that. β
Oss had never thought about it, or rather, he had never thought about it because it involved himself.
"Os, there is no need for you to be confused and hesitant about the Light you have! Because, you are such a person, in countless little things, your compassion has made choices again and again! And the Holy Light, willing to choose you like this! β
"Holy light...... Oss subconsciously covered his heart and muttered to himself.
Archbishop Fao's gaze was also a little distracted, he pointed to the lake, looked into the distance and said: "Cats like to eat fish, but cats can't swim, fish like to eat earthworms, but fish can't come ashore." For our human race, or for all living beings, there are too many temptations in this world, and powerful power is only one of them, but the reality is not easy for people to get. β
Os's heart has gradually let go, and he has used the Holy Light countless times, relying on the Holy Light, but he has never known where the Holy Light came from and why it came from, which really bothered him! But now, he will no longer be confused, just as he will no longer be confused about the original fate of Osmar Garithar after he has met Arthas Minehir and Sylvanas Windranger!
"Remember, the Three Spirits and the Eight Virtues are not verbal oaths, nor are they rules that paladins must follow. It's the character you had before you became a paladin, and the behavior you stuck to it. After saying this, Archbishop Fao suddenly smiled happily and said, "You know Morgan, you two know each other very well, but I don't think you must know that Morgan used to cause trouble to others for a long time when he traveled all over the world. β
"Huh? And such a thing? β
"Morgan is passionate about everyone, humble and honest, and has a tremendous dedication. But the reality is that not everyone needs his help, and sometimes, zealous can help. So in the Forest of Dawn, Morgan was called a 'troublesome bastard' at first. β
"Poof! I really don't know about it, Morgan didn't mention it, and his good buddy John didn't say it. β
"Now you know, whether it's Uther, Tirio, Sedan, Morgan or John, almost every paladin is like a fool in some way." Speaking of this, Archbishop Fao winked at Auth again and laughed at himself: "Ah, of course, I am no exception! I've caught most of my life, but I've never been hooked! β
The last burden in his heart landed, and Oss only felt more relaxed than ever. He was all cheerful, winked at the respectable and lovely old man beside him, and gave him the nickname: "The fisherman who never misses!" β
"Hahaha!" Archbishop Fao was also amused, nodded Os's forehead, and asked, "What do you think of yourself?" When you are well known, how will you be called a paladin? β
"Uh......" The light was on it, and Oss was already scratching his head for the third time, "I think a good old man is good, I still resemble Uncle Tirio." β
"Haha, don't even think about it, little Os." Archbishop Fao unceremoniously gave Oss the nickname, "'Kind old mother'? Well, it doesn't seem so good. Pregnant! It's called 'Soft Egg'! That's a pretty good name! β
"Ahem! The embarrassed Os, who was soft ......, was messy in the lake breeze.
