Chapter 564: The Sacred Tree Blossoms
"There are good and bad human beings, just as there is a difference between holy and fallen elves, not all of them are good, and not all of them are evil. β
Shi Xiaobai pondered for a few seconds, and always felt that he should explain in more detail, so he continued: "No race or group should be classified as 'good camp' or 'evil party', because there has never been absolute good and absolute evil in the world. This king does not want to excuse such an evil act as 'selling elves', even from the perspective of human beings, it is an evil crime that should be punished. However, where there is light, there must be shadows, on the contrary, there must be light beyond the shadows, and if there are villains who sell elves, there will be heroes who punish bad guys, and the rampant criminal forces just mean that the heroic organization is strong. β
This is not the first time Shi Xiaobai has expounded on the understanding of good and evil, in the Nine Turns of the Transcendent Tower, he had an in-depth exchange with the blonde girl who was named the "Hero King" three thousand years ago, so it was quite a bit of a feeling of talking at ease.
The innocent elf girl was confused by this obscure truth, she tried to understand the meaning of this passage, but she didn't understand it for a long time, maybe it was Shi Xiaobai's "harmlessness" that finally arrived, the girl was a little bolder, this time she was annoyed and angry, and said: "I don't understand!
Shi Xiaobai smiled slightly, accustomed to it.
He has understood from a long time ago that there is a gap in IQ between people, not everyone is born with the wisdom of a king like him, and confidants like Li Chenxi who can understand their hearts and minds are rare, and more people are still a little clever like Liu Yu, or as upright as Feng Yuanlin.
"In short. β
Shi Xiaobai directly gave a simple conclusion, "Human beings are not all bad guys, there are good guys, and this king is a professional hero who specializes in bad guys, not only will not hurt you, but will protect you, understand?"
Of course, Sakura understood such a straightforward statement, but she still had something to understand, and couldn't help muttering: "Hero, I know, my mother-in-law is the 'hero' of the elf clan!" But ...... 'heroes' are still divided into professional and non-professional?"
In Sakura's understanding, "hero" is a great spirit who has made a significant contribution to the clan or saved the clan from some disaster, so everyone praises and praises it.
Who calls himself a hero?
Sakura remembers that her mother-in-law said that only a million elves have a chance to appear a hero, heroes are rare, precious, and one-in-a-million existence, and only if everyone thinks you are a hero, you are qualified to be called a hero.
Although Sakura always felt that her mother-in-law was proud of her old and disrespectful when she said this, her mother-in-law's status in the elf clan was indeed highly respected and admired by thousands of people.
Associating a noble "hero" with a secular "vocation", Sakura is hard to accept.
Shi Xiaobai fell silent.
In this era of rampant disasters, "hero" is not a simple title or honor, it is a global organization, a recognized and respected profession, a symbol of the strong, and a representative of the brave. It is common knowledge that heroes defeat the demons of the plague, protect humanity, and protect the earth.
The elf girl asked a question that lacked common sense, but Shi Xiaobai was not surprised at all, because he had realized that there was a big difference in common sense between them.
The "acquired realm" and "alliance twelve clans" mentioned by the elf girl before were all words that Shi Xiaobai had never heard of, he thought that there was something wrong with his "common sense", but now it seems that the problem turned out to be "common sense" itself.
- His "common sense" and the girl's "common sense" are not "common sense" derived from the same world or the same social system.
"This king has crossed over again?"
Shi Xiaobai had to face this terrible speculation.
Shi Xiaobai has had the experience and experience of crossing over, the last time he traveled from the earth to another world without warning, the civilization and common sense that he was familiar with have undergone earth-shaking changes.
And this time he came to this forest without warning, and common sense seemed to be being subverted, and Shi Xiaobai had to wonder if he had traveled to another world.
But it is not yet possible to make a conclusion, because there is still the possibility that this forest is only isolated from the world, so that the "common sense" is different, and he is still in the same different world.
Of course, there is another embarrassing possibility, that is, he and the girl just lack "common sense".
Whewβ
Suddenly, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves sounded in the forest.
Shi Xiaobai was slightly stunned, where did the wind come from? He clearly didn't feel the presence of the wind, and it was strange to say that this green forest didn't seem to have blown a gust of wind from just now to now.
If there is no wind, why is there a sound of wind blowing leaves?
Shi Xiaobai listened carefully again, and was stunned to find that this voice seemed to come from all directions.
At this moment, a rich fragrance suddenly wafted in the distance, which seemed to be the fragrance of rice flowers and grass.
"Ahh
Unlike Shi Xiaobai's stunned, the elf girl had already closed her eyes and was taking a deep breath with an intoxicated face, a little greedily breathing in this sudden fragrance.
"The sacred tree is about to bloom again!"
A happy smile tugged at the corner of Sakura's mouth.
"The Holy Tree, what Holy Tree?"
Shi Xiaobai seemed to think of something and asked out loud.
Sakura heard the boy's voice, opened her eyes suddenly, and she quickly reached out to cover the boy's nose, "Ahhh
Shi Xiaobai didn't dodge, and let the girl's soft palm cover his nose and mouth.
Sakura's nervous expression relaxed, and she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Whew!
Shi Xiaobai gave an inquiring look, "What's wrong?"
"The sacred tree has bloomed!"
Sakura said as a matter of course, but seeing that the young man still had a puzzled expression, she finally realized that the other party really didn't know the situation, so she was surprised: "You don't even know this?, the flowering period of the World Sacred Tree, all living beings except the elves within a radius of a hundred miles cannot approach, the fragrance of the sacred tree is a good tonic for our elves, but it is a deadly poison for other living beings, isn't it common sense?"
Shi Xiaobai's pupils shrank slightly.
"The Sacred Tree of the World!?"
This is the third time Shi Xiaobai has heard this term.
The first time was when I met Hanari for the first time, and the second time was the story told by the Demon Queen about the Transcendent Sacred Tree and the Three Sacred Trees of World, Time, and Destiny.
The stories they tell are not the same, but whether it is Huali or the Demon Queen, they all mention one thing - the world, time, fate, and the three sacred trees were all destroyed by the original sin of the Heavenly Tribulation during the first apocalypse.
Shi Xiaobai still remembers that when he asked Hua Li, "Who are you?" , Hua Li told him a long story.
The beginning of that story is - "10,000 years ago, I was the elf who guarded the World Tree and lived a carefree life, but after the first Doomsday Tribulation, the World Tree was cut off from life, and before it withered, I was chosen as the successor of its power, and I was an elf and the World Tree. β
The Sacred Tree of the World was destroyed 10,000 years ago!
No, no, the common sense of him and the elf girl is not the common sense of the same world, so the "World Sacred Tree" in the girl's mouth may not be the "World Sacred Tree" he knows.
"It's time for me to go back. β
Suddenly, the little girl who had been hiding behind the cherry blossoms poked out her little head and whispered, "I am the elf who guards the World Tree, I should go back." β
