Chapter 19: The Underpants Traverser (13)
This is the so-called routine of breaking through the rivers and lakes, or the gray area that is deliberately ignored by the mainstream of the kingdom's society.
She looked at the seemingly free fish that landed beneath the surface of the lake, seemingly carefree all day long spitting blisters, filtering nutrients from the water with their mouthparts to swallow, or chasing other small fish and shrimp in the water.
Around them is a large fishing net that isolates them from a finite universe.
Yes, they're just farmed animals.
They can only live in this limited river, and they may look at the world outside the net in the same way that we look at outer space, and the fate of the fish, like that of us mortals, has long been predetermined by the gods from birth to death.
The "wave" sounded softly, and a fish struggled to jump out from the edge of the net, and then smashed on the skeleton of the bamboo pole at the edge of the net, and swam back and forth again.
Look at that!~
It's about to succeed!It struggles to flick its tail in succession, jumping to new heights in life!~
It's about to be reborn!~
A vast expanse of water awaits him, and a fresh and beautiful future is already in front of him.
Phew!
An osprey, which had long been on the branches, flapped its wings like a black glimpse, and instantly took away the "new fish" with its claws.
Hehe, another restless life is gone.
The poor individuals who want to change their fate will always be hindered by the "evil eagle dog", and the pioneers who resist the oppression of traditional forces will always die one after another, but they will not have any impact on this vast world.
Just like this pond, it is still quiet, and the tranquility is like a pool of stagnant water!
People still divide themselves into different levels of classes, coupled with ignorant and short-sighted regional discrimination and exclusion, incited narrow-minded hatred, and paranoid beliefs that even parents don't love but are willing to sacrifice themselves for.
The world~
You're still so ugly!
Instead of slamming the eagle dogs of fate, Higrid threw the stone to the surface of the water, watching it bounce off the lake to the other side, making a series of ripples.
"Whew!~"
It seemed that together with the irregular stone thrown out, he had exhaled the dull and uncomfortable feeling in his chest, and suddenly felt a little better.
Patyusa suddenly opened her mouth and broke the solemn and uncomfortable silence: "Which god do you believe in now?
Siggley said lightly with a sad face, "No." My teacher seems to believe in the One of All Things, the Lord of Time and Space, Jorg Sothos, and hopes to receive from him infinite wisdom beyond human imagination. But I don't have much interest in this ancient god. I have always wanted to follow in the footsteps of God Geheros, the pioneer of freedom, but I have never made up my mind to dedicate my life to the great cause of restoring my country. What I longed for~~ is always free and unrestrained~~Alas~~ Forget it. What about you? Do you believe in that god?"
Patyusha sighed again, lowered her head and picked a lilac wildflower, and began to play with the petals: "No. I don't know what kind of god I worship. For wizards, while there are some gods who believe in knowledge and wisdom, most do so simply because of envy and longing for the glory of their great abilities and eternal life. ”
Higrid looked at the calm and clear pond and asked softly, "Did you have any dreams when you were a child?"
Patyusha's smile was stiff, but she tried to maintain an indifferent tone: "I originally wanted to be a high-profile female parliamentarian. Or become a majestic legendary sorceress wielding a staff and letting the elements of heaven and earth command me!hehehe~~ But I know I don't have that perseverance. Moreover, if I want to become a female parliamentarian, I need to be eloquent and quick to win over many big businessmen of the chaebol to provide large political donations to pave the way for me to buy officials and voters. ”
"Hehe~~ If you don't have enough family power to support you, even if you are pushed to a high position, you will just be a spokesperson and puppet for their interests, and you may have to sell your body as a bargaining chip for political transactions! Aren't many female politicians saying that they are reluctant to have their bodies and can't hold their official positions? It's just that I don't think I've been able to take that step, maybe I don't want to sell my body for the sake of "great ideals"~ Ideals are always so great, and there are many young people who even want to become famous actors, and they are willing to give everything for this. ”
Siggley smiled with a hint of understanding and relief, and at this time she suddenly showed a bit of maternal softness.
She joked with a soft expression: "Then you can also be like the Sage Karamchand, be a spiritual leader and spokesman for the people, a great and benevolent civil politician who has forever influenced the history of the mainland~"
Pa Tyusha also showed a happy smile, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you also know about politics." I heard that some enlightened countries on the Eternal Continent have given up the feudal monarchy! Many leaders are elected from among the people~ Hehehehe, if one day I become the president or the leader of the country, let you also be a female general, and govern a happy and prosperous country together. ”
Higrita laughed: "How dare I reward you, you may really become a heroine in the future, and you will forget all our old friends." ”
Pa Tyusha looked up to the sky and sighed softly and laughed: "Hero, hero~~ How many real heroes are there in this world?"
The feeling spread to her heart, and she couldn't help humming an old song:
People are preaching, who is the real hero~
Someone falls, and someone gains glory~
In the whirlpool of fate, human heads are stirring,
There is always someone who has been honored.
You see all the beings singing in unison,
You are our all-loved hero!
But your bravery is his cruelty,
And who can be loyal to all?
I only thought about my own heroism~
Heroes may have forgotten about tolerance in the end.
I carried the lantern and looked left and right,
Everyone has his own troubles.
The Tao is full of mortal joys and sorrows,
You can't get enough of it.
You hear the whispers of the vast beings,
By what means does he command us to hold our heads high?
Not all of them will be loyal to you,
Who can distinguish between right and wrong in the world.
(At this point, Patyusha's voice gradually deepened.) She remembered her father, who had left her childhood, and her mother, who had just died tragically. Her voice began to choke, and Siggley next to her continued to hum softly :)
