Verse 454: This Cup, Respect the Past (1)
The goddess of fate, what a cruel god, she always arranges their path for everyone, and then smiles in the face of resistance from mortals, they will not understand that there is no difference between obedience and learning to resist in the eyes of the goddess of fate.
Resistance is just a different path, and she doesn't care if it's better or worse to live on a better path than the previous one.
She is a powerful god, so powerful that even the four evil gods are fearless.
And she is also very neutral, and Anonymous will not be angry with what she does, because mortals have cause and effect.
But the helplessness of mortals in the face of chaos, the pain when they are distorted, and the suffering when they are harvested, all of this has nothing to do with the goddess of fate, she likes to play with the scales in her hands, and the pain and happiness of human beings are just her bargaining chips.
This is the god, the anonymous is the god, and his confrontation with Chaos is also a faction problem, and the other weak gods have long been harvested or hidden.
And a powerful neutral deity like the goddess of fate, it exists only to watch every human perform on a stage called fate.
Acting well or badly, she is happy to see it.
Marin didn't know what role she had played in his adoptive father's affairs.
But Marin himself chose to fight, and the goddess of fate could arrange a path for him, but Marin felt that this was not good, and the world should not have sunk, so he would consciously use his feet to walk out of a new path.
This future world should be better and better, and every innocent person can live a comfortable and wonderful life, instead of being overwhelmed by the heavy reality.
How nice it would be if there were no gods in this world.
There should not be an abyss like a mountain on the head of a mortal.
What happiness is, living without fear, is happiness.
But because they are mortals, almost no one can understand what Marin thinks, they are more still living in their own world, and people who can't even live well themselves really have no reason to care whether others can live well.
Empathy is a very luxurious object, and the weak do not deserve it, not because of the mortal itself, because the existence of empathy will only make the weak person more aware of all the injustice and suffering in this world, but there is nothing to be done, it will only increase the suffering, and it will not help.
Marin clearly understands all this, and if there are no gods, he will use even more drastic measures to change all this, and the reasoning between mortals is usually not the same as the fist.
But there are gods, righteous gods, and evil gods in this world, and the tide of suffering will come at any time, Marin can indeed change this world, but use a broken world to face the invasion of the chaotic subspace?
Revolution is not a dinner party, it is a death, and when the dust settles, when the tide of death comes, Marin cannot be sure how many more people will die.
This is the most uncomfortable thing about Marin - he understands all this, understands all this, in this world, he can only unite those who can unite, and borrow their strength to give more people a chance to live.
Civilization must survive in order to have a chance to innovate; Humanity must survive if there is to be a future.
Finally, I glanced at the theories I had written, Marin sealed them, although the furnace was not far away, but the knowledge that is useless now does not mean that it will not be useful in the future, the child from the future depicted a dystopian world to Marin, the nest capital, the level, the giant private army, although humanity is still progressing, and is free from the shackles of gravity again, but ...... Maybe these things, maybe one day, there will be people in the future who need them.
Wisdom is a sword, some people use it to kill, some people use it to save themselves, and it will be the latter that Marin hopes to obtain them.
Marin knows that he has no chance to face the best future in that theory, but as long as this theory can be realized in this present future, it is worth working hard and paying for now.
"Shall I save this thing?"
When Marlin handed the sealed package to Matilda, the big-tailed fox was a little puzzled - for there were too many sisters in her mind who were better suited than her to preserve the wisdom that came from Marin, who in her eyes was the uncrowned sage.
"You are the paladin of the Lord of Justice, and it is best for you to keep it."
In Marin's opinion, Matilda's descendants will become lords of Carterburg, and it is too dangerous for them to try to do all this, but when the day comes when conflict becomes the daily order of the world, then this knowledge will be able to see the light of day.
Let those who want to save themselves come together from slaughter, and give them the faith to protect themselves - we have come into this world, not to destroy, but to have a truly good world.
"Then I will definitely protect it with my life." Matilda replied to Marlin in the most solemn tone.
Marin rubbed the head of the big-tailed fox: "No matter what, you have to live, remember, if the knowledge is gone, I can write again, but if the people are gone, I will never find my big-tailed fox again." β
Matilda smiled happily, as if she had caught a cicada that summer.
How could this stupid girl know that Marin had seen everyone's future and knew everything that happened in that timeline.
But that's why Marin can't wait to change that.
Sealing this knowledge, Marin began to build more factories, recruiting those who could be created among the displaced people, and those who had served as soldiers could be recruited as soldiers of the factory guards, and these recruits were usually responsible for the safety of the city and the streets.
The business guild wants to join it, Marin can give them distribution channels - more and more goods need more and smoother logistics channels, in this era, it is very difficult to maintain the logistics of a country, so Marin doesn't mind giving profits to the people in these business guilds, the business guild does not think that Marin's existence will eventually oppress or even eliminate them, so what Marin has to do now is to show everyone, Marlin is willing to trade with them, and the two sides are partners, not life-and-death opponents.
Profit is the best weapon to divide the short-sighted, faster than a knife, more ruthless than a bullet, and more moisturizing and silent than a psychopathic gunman.
In addition, Marin's weapons workshop began to offer more and better weapons, and price has always been the biggest problem for arms exports, but Marin has a natural rival and business partner in this regard, the Chaos Evil God.
Their legions, their followers, and their minions will be the most reliable partners for Marin's Weapons Workshop.
What's the problem when money can destroy chaos faster and better than knives and bows and arrows?
Perhaps these nobles and kings will oppress the poor even more in order to obtain them, but when they can't survive and start choosing to go to the paradise of Fort Carter, Marin will definitely be happy to see it.
He could even spend money to buy the homeless people, and the farmers selected from them would have land to plant, the herders would be able to graze, the townspeople could learn what was needed for industrial production, and Marin had enough skilled workers to educate them.
The children of these people will learn more in the schools of Marin, and they will become new workers, herdsmen, farmers and soldiers.
The nobles have the money, and they can buy more weapons, more cannons, more, faster and better to destroy Chaos, and survive the next wave of death and the sudden Chaos Assault, they are the best living advertisements for Marin's weapons workshop.
It's all for the civilization on this planet to continue in the coming tide of death, and everyone will give everything.
Unwilling to give everything, Marin will never reach out and pull them when they are in hell.
Those who can't save people won't be saved by Marin.
In the face of Marin's explosive increase in production capacity, Moweis's old father-in-law was the first to sit still, he asked his daughter more than once, and finally sat down in front of Marin and talked to Marin openly.
"What the hell do you want to do, Fort Carter has added 70,000 homeless people this month, your men have arranged them in different categories, your farm, your factory, your workshop, and even your factory guard are increasing the number of people, and each of them has you as their new master, and the mayor of Fort Carter can't even send his decree out of his mansion."
His Majesty Movis looked at Marin with sorrow on his face.
"I know that you will not betray me, because you are still willing to see me, and you will not even bring a legend to sit in front of me, which is already a very good indication of your sincerity, but Marin, my child, can you tell me why you are doing this, at least give me an answer, give me an answer that can comfort Manli who is seriously ill in bed."
"Is Lady Manly seriously ill, what's the matter?" That's the bad news Marin heardβthe older generation he knew was fast approaching the finish line.
"Organ failure, the doctor of the Church of the Goddess of Love said, this is the root of the disease that fell in the early years, and the World Tree potion you gave me can only be temporarily restored, so, Marin, give me an answer."
Looking at the sad face of the husband, Marin finally decided to open a teleportation channel and go and meet the lady in person.
His Majesty agreed, and provided safe teleportation coordinates, and Marin followed Saya into the teleportation channel.
Faye wanted to enter, but was stopped by Marin.
On the opposite side of the coordinates was the hall of the palace, and because they had returned with their majesty, the guards did not react at all, but opened the door.
Marin saw the scrawny Lady Manly, who was lying on the bed, and her three sons were sitting at the head of her bed.
Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was her husband, so the seriously ill wife smiled: "Is there an answer?" β
"Manli, I'm back with the answer." Her husband said.
It was only then that the lady noticed Marin.
ββ¦β¦ There you are. β
"Yes, I'm here, I'm not here to see your jokes, what you're worried about, I understand, empathize, if I were you, I wouldn't tolerate a person who would threaten my children's inheritance right to appear under my nose."
Marlin sat down in front of her.
"I'm glad you think so, there have been conflicts and misunderstandings between us, I'm glad that we can sit here and explain all the conflicts and misunderstandings between us, so, Marin, now that you've expanded this, is there a reason why you can explain it to me?" Manli asked, smiling.
"The invasion of the Tide of Death will come in five years at the latest, and everything I do now is for the future of our civilization, my workshop is arming the whole world, and my factory is feeding the whole world. Mrs. Manli, I want to save this stormy world and let more people live. β
"I see, thank you, Marlin......" the lady smiled, even though her withered face was horrified by it.
Marin nodded to his father-in-law.
After getting his approval, turn and walk towards the exit.
The guard opened the door, Marlin walked through it, and as it began to close, Marin heard Lady Manly call.
"Marin, can you give me another answer."
Hearing the urgency of the words, Marin stopped and turned around.
"Marin, my child, tell me if ...... If there were ifs, what would you do if there were no gods in this world. Her breathing began to rapid, but her eyes were full of anticipation, and she even sat up, as if waiting for Marin's answer.
Faced with her question, Marin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the lady and showed a somewhat sad smile: "...... Lady Manli, do you know that if there were no gods, your conflicts and misunderstandings would not be conflicts and misunderstandings, but the truth of life and death between you and me, but because there are gods and deaths, the conflicts between you and me are insignificant in front of them...... The past is gone, Lady Manly, and may you be fortunate. β
"Thank you for your honesty, Marin, as you said, the past is gone...... Go ahead...... to save the world...... Go ahead......" Lady Manry said, smiling and leaning back on the pillow.
Her breath grew sharper, and Marlin stood there, watching the lady finally stop breathing.
Watching her husband cry into a tearful man.
Marlin stroked his chest, then turned to leave.
Good night, ma'am, the world is strange without you.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Returning to Fort Carter with Faye, Marin continued his plan to increase production, and this time, there would be no more departments from the royal family to assess and investigate, which made Marin quite emotional - Mrs. Manly finally proved that she was a smart person, and she took the initiative to reconcile with Marin at the last moment of her life, and the two sides fully understood each other's bottom line.
This is a woman who is limited by the times, but also an impeccable mother, although she is a rival to Marin, but Marin has more respect for her - she loves her children and her husband more than she loves herself.
Such a woman, even if she is really an opponent, even if she really has to go to the point of life and death, but Marin still can't hate her.
Because she's done it all, she's a loyal lover, she's a loving mother, she's an amazing woman.
It's a pity that she is limited by this era.
If it is placed in two thousand years, a woman like her will definitely be able to do better than now.
It's a pity that there is no if.
Poor Lady Manli, may the Lord have mercy.
