Chapter 47: The Meaning of Heroism
Kotetsujo ran back and forth on more than a dozen railway lines in Kongokaku, and with the efforts of Ikoma and others, he rescued many survivors from all over the world, and even saved Oniface. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This guy is also lucky, when Leto went to the branch of the Exorcist Alliance to wake up Pyro, he happened to go far away because of shopping and escaped.
With the help of Ghost Face, everyone opened Castlevania and joined the cause of saving people together. By the time Kabane was filled with Vajra and had to leave, the two cars were already filled with survivors, including the few remaining hunters.
With the presence of the Blue Knife and the Guns and Roses, the Iron City is equivalent to receiving the assistance of the Exorcist Alliance; The remnants of the hunters were taken over by the Iron City, which was equivalent to inheriting the tactics and techniques designed by Mima Tentori to fight against Kabane; And when saving people, the two cars also saved a lot of talents from all aspects of the original King Kong Guo.
Therefore, although King Kong Guo was still destroyed, after all, under Lin Yuedong's planning, Jia Tiecheng gained stronger strength than the original work, which can be regarded as partially achieving Lin Yuedong's previous purpose.
When the matter is done, it is natural to leave. Lin Yuedong found the white horse that was brought over by Jia Tiecheng, and found that the white horse had raised its hooves and pointed to the north.
He opened the door of the stable carriage and led the white horse out. And this scene happened to be seen by Ikoma standing on the roof of the car.
"Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?" He asked aloud.
"It's time for me to leave." Lin Yuedong also replied loudly, "My role is over, and you should be the next to sing the leading role." ā
Ikoma was startled and hurriedly ran over: "Where are you going?" In such a situation, leaving the Iron City is to die! ā
Lin Yuedong smiled: "Don't worry, do you think I look like someone who is going to die?" I couldn't be 100% sure, so how could I take such a risk. Goodbye boy, say goodbye to Guns N' Roses for me. ā
After spending so many days with Lin Yuedong, Ikoma naturally knew that he would not die if he was fine, and thought that he probably had something to deal with, so he had to say, "Okay, Mr. Lin, thank you for your teachings over the past few days...... Wait, Mr. Lin, there's a question you haven't answered yet. ā
He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called Lin Yuedong.
Lin Yuedong asked, "What questions?" ā
Ikoma said, "You once said that when I became the best of the strong, you told me the best way for the strong to get along with the weak. So, am I now? Can you tell me? ā
Lin Yuedong looked him up and down: "Well, now you only have a good will to fight, and your combat effectiveness is still very low-end, go back and find a bottle of strengthening potion to drink, but you can become a strong person." As for the top of the strong, you're still far behind. But I'm leaving now, and I don't know when we'll see each other, so I'll tell you the way. ā
Ikoma immediately responded, "Listen up! ā
Lin Yuedong said: "Remember, the best way for the strong and the weak to get along is 'irrelevant' - the two sides have nothing to do with each other, each has its own way, absolutely does not interfere with each other or influence each other, and naturally does not hurt each other." ā
"What?" Ikoma's eyes widened, never expecting the final answer to be like this, "Why is this so?" Isn't it like we don't get along at all? ā
"Yes," Lin Yuedong bowed slightly, "If you don't get along, it's the best way to get along." If you don't understand, think of the shogunate, think of Mima Tentori, think of the Exorcist Alliance. The strong meddling in the world of the weak will never end well. ā
Sartre once said that others are hell. Because there are others, there will be contradictions, contradictions will lead to conflicts, and conflicts will bring disasters. And between the strong and the weak, the cost of the disaster will inevitably be borne by the weak.
There is no doubt that the conflict between the strong and the weak will bring disaster to the weak, because the weak will not be the opponent of the strong, just as the Kabane slaughtered humanity; And the conflict between the strong and the strong will also bring disaster to the weak, because the conflict between the two sides will inevitably affect the weak, just as the conflict between the shogunate and the Kakata people led to the destruction of Kongokaku. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.
Taking a step back, even if the two sides are lucky that there is no conflict, once they know that the strong exist, the weak will pin their hopes on the strong, thus entering the inevitable tragic trend of the model of the strong protecting the weak that Lin Yuedong once pointed out.
Taking a step back, even if it does not lead to tragedy, under the protection of the strong, the weak will not want to forge ahead, and will no longer want to progress, just like the shogunate that has built a high wall and stands still, and the hunters who rush out of the field are as strong as this. When the walls eventually fail, when the strong are negligent, the weak will pay a huge price for it.
The strong and the weak get along and get along peacefully, that can only be an ideal situation, and human nature in reality will not let that kind of thing happen. Therefore, the best model is undoubtedly that the weak do not know the existence of the strong, and the strong will never interfere in the world of the weak, which is the best for both parties.
Ikoma couldn't figure it out at all this time: "Can ...... Then I'm a strong man now, like you say, I can't get along with ordinary people, how can I end this troubled world? I can't kill all the Kabanes on my own! ā
Lin Yuedong laughed loudly: "That's why you want to be a hero!" The so-called hero is the person who bears all the pain and still leads the weak forward! Even if they bear the incomprehension, doubts, blank eyes, abuse, resistance, and uprisings of the world, they will never be shaken by them, and even if they sacrifice themselves, they must light the way forward for the weak. Do you have such an awareness, such a measure? ā
Ikoma only felt like waking up from a dream.
Turns out, is this what it means to be a hero?
Not protection, not guidance, but bearing. Bear all the suffering in the world without regrets, bear all the harsh criticism in the world and never give up, is the hero.
"I don't know." Ikoma said with difficulty, "I don't know if I'll be able to do this...... But I'll try. I will try to be that kind of hero and save Hinomoto from Kabane! Because, this is my wish! ā
"Then come on. Do your best to create a better world for the Iron City, for the nameless, for yourself. At that time, I might be somewhere to celebrate for you. Lin Yuedong said with a smile.
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your teachings! Ikoma said loudly, "Let's go...... Treasure! ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
The white horse magically found a road without Kabane in the dense Vajra Guo, and carried Lin Yuedong into the space-time passage on the main road north of Vajra Guo.
When he walked out of the iron gate, Lin Yuedong only felt a golden light hit him. He almost thought that the enemy had invaded the place, but when he looked closely, he realized that it was the wooden pen that had thrown a recovery spell at him.
"Recovery plus purification." Pen shrugged, "You've brought a lot of viruses back from that world, and I've got to make sure I don't spread them here." ā
"Oh, that's it. Those two soul stones ......" Lin Yuedong took out the two soul stones from Meima's corpse from his pocket, not knowing what to do. This is something that came out of Shi Sheng's head, who knows if there is also a virus.
"Feed it to your horse, it will work wonders." The wooden pen pointed to the white horse and said firmly.
"Isn't this a mechanical horse, and it eats?" Lin Yuedong said.
"Of course it doesn't eat forage anymore, but it still eats this kind of thing. Just try it and you'll find out. Mu Bi said.
Lin Yuedong turned around suspiciously and handed the two soul stones to the white horse. The white horse opened his mouth and ate both soul stones in two bites.
He waited for a while, only to find that Hakuba didn't react at all, as if he had just eaten two jelly beans. He turned his head and asked the pen, "Isn't it useless?" ā
The wooden pen taught: "Who said that the usefulness must be visible to the naked eye? You'll know when the time comes. Sit down, we'll have to talk about it this time. ā
"You're right, we really need to have a good talk." Lin Yuedong put aside the matter of the white horse, walked to the chair opposite the wooden pen and sat down, and took a deep breath, "Who is the No. 1 express company in the world, and for what purpose was it established?" Now, you should be able to tell me. ā
"Now I can tell you." The wooden pen took out a scroll from the drawer and unfolded it on the table, "Look at it, this is the cause and effect of the establishment of the world's first express company." ā
Lin Yuedong looked down and saw that on this yellow satin scroll with a dragon embroidered phoenix like an ancient holy decree, according to the ancient way of writing, an order was written from right to left and from top to bottom.
[Because the Great Yuan will be exhausted, the demons will rise again, go to the big war, and the losses will be very heavy, and the first express company in the world will be set up to select talents and talents to help. Those who see this order shall assist as one, and there shall be no mistakes. ć
In the end, the inscription was written with the two words of the original history of the seal.
"Demons?" Lin Yuedong repeated these two words a little strangely. Looking at this order from the beginning, the first thing that caught his eye the most was these two words, "This is the kind of demon in the novel?" With horns on his head and wings behind him, what Lucifer, big pineapple...... A demon like that? ā
The wooden pen waved his hand: "No." The demon is just a code name, referring to our enemies. If you don't want to, you can put it in another way. ā
ā¦ā¦ Is that okay?
Lin Yuedong looked at the wooden pen embarrassed, but the wooden pen looked indifferent: "The name is just a code name, what do you like to call it." Even if you call the enemy a Transformer, as long as it can be used as a reference, it's fine. However, we are used to using demons, which is convenient and easy to use, and it can reflect the evil of the enemy. ā
Lin Yuedong said: "The evil of the enemy? I heard Leto say that their purpose is to destroy the world? Or is it the destruction of humanity? In short, it's making the world a worse place. ā
"That's right, and it's not one world, it's to make all the worlds worse." And our purpose is to stop them and make the world a better place. From that point of view, we're immortals and they're demons, and that's fine, right? - Although we are indeed immortals. ā
Lin Yuedong was surprised: "You are immortals? Is it the fairy in mythology? That's not a synonym, is it? ā
Mu Bi rolled his eyes: "Haven't you always thought about what the three words Ice Godhead mean?" ā
Lin Yuedong was speechless. Speaking of which, when the two met for the first time, he also asked if the ice godhead was the core of the god's power written in the novel, and the wooden pen told him that it was that thing, but his attention was attracted by the courier from another world, and he didn't ask carefully. Now that I think about it, the Ice Godhead is a god's thing, and of course the one who can give him the Ice Godhead is an immortal.
But in this case, it can explain a lot of problems.
For example, why they can open the space-time passage casually, for example, why they have such advanced motorcycles and horses, for example, why they have everything on the exchange list like the main god - because they are immortals, what a simple and easy-to-understand explanation.
Mu Bi thought for a while, and then said: "Of course, although it is called an immortal, it is actually a little stronger than the power of mortals, a little tougher, and a little more knowledgeable. From this point of view, the immortal is also a pronoun. If you call us Zeniths, or Kryptonians, or Spiritual Empires, it doesn't make much difference. ā
"When you say that, I suddenly think that you guys are not really that remarkable......"
