161, fog
When Hoska made this decision, he was already one of the very few.
But even so, after knowing that his fellow citizens would not thank him, he also showed wavering, entanglement, and distress.
In Hoska's own view, this is something that should be discarded because of the lack of faith.
But he didn't know that after Tang Chuan's secret observation for such a long time, he was already much ahead of others without other emotions, and there was no need to accuse.
In Tang Chuan's field of vision, there are indeed some reckless, in order to achieve the goal, so as to sacrifice their existence without hesitation.
But in that case, most of them are blessed by hatred and other emotions.
For example, if an enemy army has deceived someone's wife, children, and parents, he feels a heartfelt anger at this.
So whether he is a traitor or kneeling to survive, he can also abandon the outside world's perception of himself just to achieve his own goals.
That is, to do everything you can to get close to your enemy, and then die with him.
Judging from the final result, he is indeed a martyr worthy of respect, but the so-called martyr title has long been unimportant to that person.
The only thing he wants to do is revenge without recklessness.
And Hoska's choice now can truly represent human nature, because he does not have those external stimuli, and can make the choice he wants.
Whether he chooses to be a hero or a coward, he can get out of here safely, and everything is his freedom.
But it turns out that the power of faith is an extremely powerful acquired meme.
Hoska, who was originally determined, instantly began to doubt himself when he learned the consequences of becoming a hero.
However, the memes that have been instilled all year round make him constantly recall those glorious things, forcibly suppress his nature, and make seemingly firm, but actually difficult choices.
Tang Chuan took a deep look at Hoska, who seemed to be extremely determined, and said, "Have you thought about it, I will never let others know about your choice here, so don't think about it, one day your heroic deeds will be overturned." ”
These words undoubtedly touched a certain emotion in Hoska's heart? It touched the nature that was suppressed deep in his heart.
But Hoska was still stubborn: "I have made a decision! Mystery shopkeeper please? Grant my wish! ”
Tang Chuan smiled strangely and said, "Since that's the case, you can go." ”
“???”
Hoska at a loss? "Why?" ”
Tang Chuan waved his hand? A cloud of fog not far away? Through the depths of the mist, can you see the empress who has sworn allegiance? Reviewing documents on the royal chair.
Hoska was stunned: "This is?" ”
Tang Chuan explained: "Go, you can choose to leave through the gate?" You can also choose to cut through the fog and get to your Empress. ”
Hoska looked at his faith from a distance, stood up, and said, "So my wish has been fulfilled?" ”
Tang Chuan nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Hoska breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had some gains and losses, and walked towards the empress in the depths of the mist? "What if my deeds will eventually go unknown, even disgusted and spurned? So let me be in the last moments? Enjoy the glory. ”
Gate.
Fog.
Hoska didn't think about it? Delved into the latter.
……
Holy See of Guntis.
Papal Palace.
Bonnyville, who was flipping through the papers, looked up keenly? Her eyes lit up like electricity, and she looked into a surging space somewhere.
In the next second, a middle-aged man wearing church clothes and a strange face? Suddenly across the void.
Behind him, the twister was a mist that couldn't be seen clearly, and it seemed to lead straight to another dimension.
Bonnyville put down the file, not surprised, she was alert, frowned, looked at the man in front of her with complicated eyes, and said, "Third-Order God Seeer, how did you get here?" ”
Hoska's heart trembled, and he said, "I, my name is Hoska, and I am ...... I am your devout follower. ”
Bonnivale was suspicious, looked at the fog behind him, and said, "I know Hoska, now answer my question, where did you come from and why did you come from?" ”
Hoska pointed to the fog behind him and said, "I have come from that mysterious shop, Bonnivale, my master, and I have conveyed your wishes to the Divine House on your behalf. ”
These words immediately regained Bonnyville's strength, and she looked into the depths of the mist, and said, "Behind you, is the road to the house of the gods?" ”
Hoska nodded, "It should be...... Yes. ”
"Should?"
Bonnyville stood up and walked in front of Hoska, she stared and said, "Hoska, no matter what price you pay, I will definitely reward you, now go in with me, this is the honor you deserve." ”
It is indeed the honor that Hoska deserves, and being able to stand by the side of the empress is his eternal pursuit.
But another implication of Bonneville is that he cannot fully trust the words of this stranger.
The fog distorted the space and opened up a spatial passage, a spell that Bonnivale could not dissect.
In order to prevent fraud, she led the way to Rang Hoska and returned with her to the house of the gods.
However, Hoska smiled bitterly: "My master, being able to be by your side is something I have always dreamed of, but I'm afraid I can't turn back, the mysterious shopkeeper promised my wish to meet you alone, and I don't know what will happen if I turn back again."
You don't need to worry, I can give everything for you, I swear in the name of the ancestral god that I have indeed come from that mysterious shop, deep in the mist, is the legendary god's house.
I'm here waiting for you to return, though perhaps you won't recognize me again when we meet again......"
Bonnyville gave Hoska a deep look, as if he had guessed what the price he was paying.
But he still doesn't believe that as a person protected by the ancestral god, will he really be affected by the god's family, thus shaking his memory?
After thinking about it, she walked forward with her hands in her hands, walked towards the depths of the mist, and said, "Hoska, your reward will come as scheduled, wait for me here." ”
Hoska bowed and said, "Kuka Bonnivel, the ancestral god protects you. ”
No further answers.
Bonnivale's figure was gradually swallowed up by the mist.
The space distorts, and the fog gathers into one point, and finally dissipates.
Hoska looked up and looked at the empty front, her heart mixed.
Although he knew that the price taken away by the House of God would never be reversed, Bonnyville would return again, forgetting his own existence, and even disgusting himself, thus erasing himself as an "invader" of the Holy See.
But even so, he still had a glimmer of hope.
As a person close to the gods, blessed by the light of the gods, Bonnyvale may be able to resist the power of the gods' house and remember his sharing.
Hoska turned his head to look at the hovering knotted statues of the gods above the main hall.
He fell to his knees and began to pray.
