XLIX. Article 2
Round Hook never thought that today he would meet a figure that gives him nightmares every night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He thought it might be better if he had been stabbed by her that day.
But he was always a little unwilling, why, why?
From childhood to adulthood, he has always wanted to be a good person and a normal person.
When his father died, he muttered that he regretted that he had done the job of a corpse digger, held the hand of the round hook, and told him to move to another place and not inherit his father's business.
At that time, he agreed, and after burying his father, he found that he didn't even have the capital to move.
And, even if you move, will it make a difference?
A body of fish smells, maybe someone will not dislike it, but if you are familiar with it, you know your past, will you still associate with him?
Ever since following his father to pick up his first body from the river, he understands why no one of his peers wants to play with him.
For others, no matter how clean they rub themselves in the river and how much grass they smear, they can't hide the smell on their bodies.
And it's still a corpse smell, countless times more disgusting than a fish smell, although to him, there is no difference between the two.
"The son of the corpse digger" and "the corpse digger", such an identity carries such a stench, even if he peels off his skin, the smell of the corpse cannot be washed away.
When he was a child, he was beaten at the entrance of the town, and after that, he did not dare to get even half a step closer to the town. The merchants who were willing to approach him and the corpse collectors of the church wore masks, as if they were in contact with lepers, and they were eager to get things done in an instant.
These things are actually nothing to get used to, and the days are not always like this.
The clothes, money, and jewelry taken from the corpse are no longer windfalls, but stable income. Compared to Mudleg and even many people in the town, he is not considered poor.
Occasionally, I would go to other towns in the north, or even further north in the city of Conrad, to drink and chat with people, and I could also relieve my depression.
However, people outside are also well-informed, and it is not the first time that their identities have been revealed, and every time it is like a soul being boiled in a pot. At first, I didn't feel much, but the more I went to the back, the more heart-rending the pain became, and in the end, it was like a boiled fish, numb.
The point is not the smell of the nose, but the gaze of others at him as if he were looking at a monster like a ghoul.
If you can't find a wife, you can use a dead person, who of you is in the way?
I'm not a pervert, but everyone thinks I'm a pervert, and since they all see themselves like this, why do I have to restrain myself?
Occasionally, Roundhook would think the same way, but he knew it was just to comfort himself.
Every time he did that, and after a hint of pleasure, he was so disgusted that he wanted to cut it off.
Every night he could not sleep well, always afraid that an evil spirit would come to him, break his neck, and take out his heart.
Two months ago, a treasure map and some money were found on the corpse, and he was so excited that he decided to become an adventurer and start a new life.
When he arrived in town, he did not resist the temptation of the smell of wine, drank to a mess, and was arrested.
When the holy light of the little saintess enveloped his body, the heartache that had been forgotten long ago by the smell of corpses rolled out clearly with the memories of the past.
He wants to be a good person, he wants to be a normal person, he wants to be with everyone, he wants everyone to be happy because of his existence, and he wants to be praised for his dedication......
That's right, all for one, one for all!
He felt that his life had a direction to move forward, and he was busy on the church construction site all day long, and every sweat fell on the construction site, and his heart was full.
Then the temple was completed, and he saw the goddess and praised her!
Round Hook swore that day, when he scooped up the "corpse" with a pair of white flowers and long legs, he really didn't have any idea at first!
Well, just initially......
He couldn't remember whether he was habitually touching it at that time, or whether he wanted to touch it in his own heart, or accidentally touched it, and he couldn't avoid fishing up the corpse.
But he couldn't deny it, when he saw such a fresh corpse and such crystal skin, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. When my hand touches it, I do have those thoughts in my heart.
So he felt that he was not wronged at all, that he had not only blasphemed Tina, but also the hope that the goddess had given him.
But...... But......
Why is his fate more tragic than that of the mud legs on the mountain?
The reason why he has this identity is because he is the "son of a corpse digger"?
Therefore, he is destined to not be able to wash away the stench of his body and soul in this life, and he will not be able to be redeemed in this life!?
"You, you've paid the price, there's no reason to kowtow to me. ā
The crisp voice of the half-elf girl made the round hook extremely ashamed, extremely frightened, and at the same time endless pain and grievances.
He didn't dare to look up at the other party, so he had to stick his head on the ground and cry bitterly.
The girl continued, "IāI haven't thanked you yet, after all, you fished me out of the river, and you saved my life. ā
She spoke a little more fluently: "Whatever you ask, I will try to help with everything I can......"
The girl is very confident: "Money is not a problem!"
Round hook's heart beat faster, he saw the lord, the relationship between the girl and the lord is not ordinary, maybe this is an opportunity.
"IāI don't dare ask for anything, I just want to, I want to go back to church!"
When it came to the church, he became more courageous, looked up and said, "I want to continue my practice!" I want to ...... ...... with everyone."
The girl was stunned, and there was nothing she could do about it, and "Uncle Tarens" had personally sentenced this man to "death".
Looking at the expression on the girl's face, Yuangou's heart sank, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay if you can't, after all, I'm ......"
His voice was low: "I'm a corpse digger." ā
The girl looked at his expression, and suddenly felt something in her heart, and she said loudly: "What's wrong with the corpse diggers!? Is the corpse digger necessarily a bad person, a heinous person? Even if you have done something, it means that this profession is like this, must it be like this? The devil is qualified to believe in the Holy Light, why is the corpse digger equal to a bad person, so he has not gained faith and has no opportunity to be with everyone?"
Probably what I have seen and heard in the past few days, as well as what happened in the past, because this topic was rubbed together, the girl seemed very excited: "Elves were originally a very noble race, why do people show lewd expressions when they talk about elve......s now? Elves oppressed humans tens of thousands of years ago, were driven away by humans, and became losers, but is this why elves and half-elves who look like elves still have to be humiliated and tortured?"
"Aren't corpse diggers living beings? Aren't elves living beings? No matter what profession or race, we all live in Finn, we all work to support ourselves, we all have parents, we all have children, we all want to live happily, we ...... Aren't all of us, nobles, commoners, corpse diggers, half-elves, all the same!?"
The girl also choked up, she wiped her tears, and said loudly to the round hook: "Raise your head!
She turned her head and looked at Li Qi with great momentum: "He will agree, if he doesn't, I, I ......"
Speaking of the back, there is no momentum, and it is estimated that it is only at this time that I remember who opened my salary.
At this time, Li Qi's heart was completely shocked.
The hook's expression gradually changed as Tina spoke, and his gaze gradually condensed into a light that seemed familiar to Richie.
He used the skill of divine vision, and in his sight, the faint light that still remained in the body of the round hook that represented the pan-believers brightened again.
Strangely, it wasn't the cold white light that was triggered by Finney, but the crystal light that was close to Tina's.
"Devout believers...... Death ......"
Seeing such a logo on the round hook, Li Qi gasped.
Death, that's what it means!
Thinking about it again, Richie became excited.
That's right! Death, it can really be interpreted as this!
The fear of death is a starting point, an innate nature of mortals, and a prerequisite for the establishment of the concept of "mortal".
Mortals cherish life, mortals pursue happiness, mortals indulge in sensuality, mortals yearn for immortality, all kinds of desires, traced back to their roots, all because of such fear.
We are all the same......
This is not the only explanation for the priesthood of death, but in the same way that Finney's priesthood of pain is interpreted as pain that makes people sober and makes people search for the truth, isn't it just right to cut this level from the priesthood of death as a new pillar?
"Corpse digger, you can continue to cultivate. ā
Looking at Tina's expectant gaze, Li Qi said with a smile.
This corpse digger still has a soul, and he is still trying to be good, and compared with some of his peers in the earth world, his character is as noble as a lotus flower growing out of the mud.
Tina was overjoyed, and the hook kowtowed again. Although such an action is actually contrary to the teachings summarized by Li Qi in Tina, it is not hot, so let's do it for the time being.
"Thanks, thank you, Rich!"
Tina leaned over to him, blushing.
She was a little nervous again: "Just now, those words just now were just casually said, not that I, I am the same as Li Qi and you." ā
"You're right, we're the same", Li Qi subconsciously stretched out his hand, just like when he saw Finney's progress when he was teaching Finney, he wanted to rub her hair: "And you said it very well, I want to thank you." ā
When the hand was stretched out, he realized that she was not Finney, the height difference was too much, and she couldn't be seen as a child.
Tina first turned her head away and rubbed her head, because it would touch her ears, she was naturally disgusted.
However, seeing Li Qi's gentle smile, she was a little reluctant to dodge.
This employer would tolerate her saying such excessive words, which is really a good employer.
Wait, Li Qi is not his employer anymore, he already has that kind of relationship with him, so even if it is...... Ears, too, are you okay?
In an instant, the half-elf's mind turned several times, and her head first tilted outward, and then inward, so that it was convenient for Li Qi to rub it, after all, her height was about the same as Li Qi.
At this time, Li Qi had already withdrawn his hand, and when he saw her posture, he raised his hand again, he couldn't live up to the girl's kindness.
Tina saw that Li Qi took his hand, and quickly turned her head, how embarrassed, he didn't rub it when he sent it over......
So, the hands and heads of the two started Tai Chi for a while.
