Chapter 638: The Heart of Faith
Although the streets were still full of people, he suddenly felt that it was not a good situation for him to be alone and caught between the two masters and apprentices.
With a smile still on his face, Mr. Capone said slowly, "No, I think I should be normal now, right?" Well, at least I know what my last name is, what it's called, and I know my consciousness. Actually, there may be some ambiguity when it comes to saying 'demagogy'. In other words, I was drawn to the story told by that mysterious being. The voice rings in my head, and it will have a conversation with me, and sometimes it will say something that I agree with. ”
"Of course, I also know that this kind of existence that speaks directly in people's heads should be very scary, but well, people will always have some curiosity. That voice told me so many things, and I thought that maybe I could come over and get to know this being more deeply, and see what it was expressing. That's why I'm in this town. ”
Arrow took a soft breath and said slowly, "Mr. Capone, even if that voice will say something that you feel you agree with, it is likely that these words are a trap. If we are easily seduced by it, we really can't call it a good thing. And I don't think there's any benefit in this curiosity at all. ”
Capone's gaze moved down slightly, falling on Arrow's serious face, and after a half-glance, he smiled slightly and said, "So, the president is also a former 'successor'?" ”
In an instant, Arrow was stunned! He didn't seem to know what to say for a while!
Capone smiled and continued to say lightly, "That voice told me that there had been many heirs before me, but for various reasons, none of them were able to successfully become true heirs. Therefore, it picked me in the hope that I would be able to fulfill this desire of it. ”
"Please don't listen! That's definitely not a good thing! ”
Arrow couldn't help it anymore and shouted out loud.
Mr. Capone, on the other hand, nodded lightly and said, "Isn't that a good thing?" So President Arrow, that's why I just asked you about the Eternal Sleep Mountains. What do you think is a secret hidden here? What happens if you become an heir? How will it change? Can you answer these questions? ”
"I'm ......!"
Suddenly, Arrow finally realized the contradiction he had in this matter.
Oh, yes...... Outcome.
Outcome...... What is it?
And, why would I be so resistant to what lies beneath the Eternal Sleep Mountains? In fact, if you think about it carefully, the reason why you resist so much is purely because the old man's tree keeps telling you that that power is a "dark nature" power. And in the general perception of human beings, I am afraid that darkness is a bad thing.
So......
If you are really deceived, what will be the consequences?
This is something that Arrow doesn't know. Even he couldn't answer.
The definition of "can't be bewitched" has been defined in Arrow's mind from the moment Cream is bewitched, but what happens if he is really bewitched...... The result is completely unknown.
Under such circumstances, he suddenly felt that his characterization seemed a little reluctant? There is even a little bit of self-deception.
"How will it change...... I'm afraid it's going to be ...... I became too precious for the words of that existence...... Something like that, right? For example, you may use your body to protect something unimportant, or you may fall into an obsession, fall into a state of madness......"
Reluctantly, Iero made up some of the arguments.
Capenzai listened carefully to the words, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded slightly. Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned to the student next to him: "Tiramisu, do you think there is any change between me now and me a month ago?" ”
Tiramisu raised his head, looked at his teacher with reverence, and said, "No change, teacher. ”
Capone didn't seem very satisfied with this, but continued to ask, "You don't have to worry about my feelings, I want you to tell the truth." Tell me, have I gone crazy, or have I been delusional, hallucinating, talking to myself, or doing anything that I would never have done before? Remember, you don't have to worry about my feelings, you just have to tell the truth. ”
Seeing the teacher's repeated emphasis, Tiramisu finally did not answer immediately. He looked at Capone carefully, thought for a long time, and finally said softly, "If there is any change, teacher, you have become more and more gentle lately. For that scammer, you didn't even give them blood. ”
Capone was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Huh? Did I seem like such a brutal person before? ”
Tiramisu looked a little hesitant, but after thinking about it for a long time, the grim young man finally nodded lightly and said, "When I first met the teacher, the blood on your sword hadn't dried up for two hours. Compared to that time, your temper is really getting milder now, and I can't even remember the last time you drew your sword, teacher. ”
Capone was slightly stunned, and the smile that was originally hanging on the corner of his mouth also froze slightly at this moment. After a moment, his smile gradually retracted and replaced it with a thoughtful expression. But after a moment, he finally replaced his previous thoughtfulness with that gentle smile again.
"Well, at least that proves one thing." Capone turned to Arrow and smiled, "I don't seem to be doing anything crazy. The voice that bewitched me didn't make me fall into some kind of obsession, it just aroused a little curiosity in me. ”
Looking at the demon swordsman in front of him, Arrow felt that he really had a handful of sweat in his palm. He exhaled slightly, let the smile on his face continue to hold on, and said with a smile: "So...... What do you think you want to do now? Based on my experience with the Eternal Sleep Mountains in the past two years, I really don't recommend that you let that voice linger in your head, it's not a good thing. ”
Arrow's heart was more or less empty, after all, he really didn't know what this demon swordsman wanted to do.
Mr. Capone smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "President Arrow, could you, or a member of your guild, lead me the way?" You don't have to be able to go somewhere, as long as your guild can provide some guidance services, then I can take care of the rest myself. ”
It turns out that this is the reason why the magic crystals can be bought at cost price.
Arrow thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Capone, do you really want to get in touch with the source of that sound?" If that's the case, allow me to ask you a question in turn. ”
The magic swordsman still raised his hand to clasp his arm, smiled and nodded.
After a slight pause, Arrow finally asked the question in his mind: "Do you want to engage with that voice because it tells you about the 'power of the Inheritor', or the ability to fulfill one of your wishes?" As you said, I may also be one of the candidates to be judged as an heir, so that voice is in the back of my mind. It promised me a lot of things, and even described a lot of things very beautifully. But do you really think that once you come into contact with it, your desire ...... Or is something you were expecting to change that could change? ”
Capone silently looked at Arrow, at the diminutive guildmaster.
There was some kind of mystery in his gaze, and for a moment, Arrow couldn't even see any thoughts in those smiling eyes.
What exactly is he looking at? What are you thinking?
What is the true wish of this demon swordsman who bears the name of a wanted criminal at this moment?
Heal yourself of physical ailments? Wash away the reputation of the betrayer? Or do you want more wealth, more power?
Arrow's eyes couldn't see all of this.
The wind on the street by the lake still seems very cool. At this moment, these winds also seem to be slightly restrained, only dare to blow lightly, blow some women's hair, blow away the smiles on the faces of children, let those tourists enjoy the tenderness given by nature at this moment, everything seems so gentle, so plain......
"Faith, sometimes it's really something that can't be explained in one sentence."
After a long time, the Demon Swordsman finally opened his mouth, but the words he said surprised Arrow a little.
"When you think that's what you've believed in all your life, fate often plays a big joke on you."
"You start to question your beliefs, and you don't have the ability to find answers to your questions in your beliefs."
"At that moment, you will suddenly realize that the so-called all-knowing and all-powerful God you believe in does not seem to be really omniscient and omnipotent, and the so-called God, just like us humans, has certain limitations."
"It's not scary to have limitations, I understand that."
"We are not perfect, so how can the God that we imperfect people worship be perfect?"
Or perhaps, it is not the God we worship who is not perfect, but those who interpret the problems of faith in the name of God (harmoniously) do not have a deep understanding of those issues themselves. As a result, we have no way to understand these laws created by the great, selfless God. ”
