The carriage went out of the city and walked slowly along the avenue, surrounded by mostly peasants who had entered the city to catch the market. John didn't rush either, and let the carriage go so slowly out of the city. Selena leaned against the window and looked out, looking at the expressions on the faces of the farmers around her. Some of the farmers were smiling, carrying their own purchases in their hands, or carrying full loads of goods in their baskets, while others twisted their faces as if they were not too satisfied with the harvest.

To tell the truth, John's carriage is still hung with the banner of the nobility, and this high-headed horse is pure white, even if an ordinary nobleman finds one, he regards it as his own façade, and he will not easily ride out, let alone use it to pull the carriage, so even if the surrounding farmers are not urged, they quickly pack up their things and get out of the way when they hear the sound of the bell. After all, no one knows what the temperament of this nobleman is, whether there is something urgent, and if he gets in the way, it is not uncommon to be beaten. Although there is a temple, the nobles will not go too far, but as long as there are no immortals, most of the temples will not take care of it too much, and it is not too little to compensate a little money when the time comes.

The farmer gave way to the road, and John naturally made the carriage a little faster. These civilians at the bottom are very timid, and if you slow down a little, they will be afraid for a while, for fear that they have done something wrong during this time, will be beaten, or have some idea. So when they saw John's carriage speeding up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: at least, the noble lord who was high up was not ready to make fun of his mud legs.

John may or may not know this, but John himself guessed that his presence made the peasants uncomfortable, so he sped up the carriage. And John's goal now is to get to that rough stone soul a little earlier, and then it's playtime, what's there to see at the city gate? It's just people.

The carriage rang forward, and the people in front of it hurriedly got out of the way. Selena was funny, looking out of the window, she saw some pleasing children, so she took out one of the candies in her pocket and threw it over, which made many farmers grateful to Dade.

This is easy to understand, after all, as mentioned before, in this world of material abundance, sweetness can be regarded as a luxury, even if you want to get satisfaction from the sweetness of wheat is a rare experience - it can only be eaten in white bread, and the usual black bread with wheat bran will only feel prickly to taste. White bread is only made at important festivals. Therefore, sweetness is often a luxury exclusive to the upper class, not to mention this beautifully packaged candy, perhaps this candy alone can cover most of the value of his harvest this time.

John watched Selena's movements with interest, and on the bodies of those who thanked Selena, there was also a faint light that flew into Selena's hands. After walking away, Selena repeated her previous actions, and another Faith Gem appeared in Selena's hand.

John became interested: "Selena, isn't the so-called faith supposed to be something that you have with your own gods?

"Because they're thanking me, thank you for giving them this candy. Selena casually put the faith gem in her pocket: "The so-called faith was like this at the beginning, worshipping, gratitude, and then sublimated into faith. ”

"However, not everyone can sublimate this lower-level emotion, and only the ancient gods have this ability. Selena said, shrugging, "The question is, why do we do this kind of thing that doesn't benefit us? We don't need faith. ”

John had a smile on his face: "In other words, the gods who need it can't do it, and the old gods who don't want it don't bother to do it?" Selena nodded: "The ancient gods are rules, no matter which living person they are, they can't escape the shackles of the rules, and the use of the rules, so, if we want to, we can condense astronomical beliefs in an instant, and give these beliefs to the superior gods, and they can maintain a state of not having believers to pass on their beliefs for a long time." ”

John looked at this and suddenly thought of something: "Then I remember you said before that if you curse a god, you can even make the god directly turn into an evil god, what is the matter?"

Selena looked at Gloria above John's head, and reached out to lift the little guy who was taking a nap after he had eaten: "This is the sorrow of the gods." Because they can't distinguish between these, whether it's faith or curse, there is no difference until they are put into the divine fire and burned, so they can only take whatever they want to burn, and in the end, what will be burned, who knows. As he spoke, with a casual move, endless light came from all directions. However, these lights did not carry the good wishes and blessings of the previous faith, but were full of foul language. As if she hadn't heard, Selena pinched these things into gem shapes, as before. John looked over and saw that the gem this time was completely different from the previous gem that was full of divine light, not only did it not emit light, but it was still absorbing the light around it, making the carriage a little darker. Goliath seemed unaccustomed to this feeling, and ran back into John's hood and kept her head out. Selena didn't feel any discomfort and held up the gem, which looked like a little black hole: "Look, this is the curse of those people on spring. ”

John wondered, "Why do you curse spring? Isn't spring something that everybody loves?" Selena shook her head, pinched the little black hole, and let it turn into smoke and float into the air again, and said, "There are many reasons." For example, if there is no rain this spring, their crops will not grow well, for example, there will be too much rain this year, and the crops will be flooded, for example, it will come too late, and the crops will rise too badly, for example, it will come too early, and the crops will not bloom when they are only grown...... Anyway, no matter what you do, there will always be people who are not satisfied. As he spoke, he opened the window, as if to release the black smoke out of the carriage, even though the curses did not touch the carriage at all: "Remember, big man, that human beings—not just human beings, as long as they are intelligent beings, their desires are endless and can never be satisfied. Only you can't think of it, there is nothing they don't ask for, and what you do will always offend some people. ”

Desires that can never be satisfied. John thought. Thinking back to his past and thinking about the world of the original stone, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Selena clapped her hands and closed the window again: "Of course, this kind of thing is desire, if you can use it, you will use it, it is more useful than anything." ”
