117. The Lonely Observer 06
Olivia pinched Kokoba's little face. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she didn't want to take it here, but Crane Ten Night wanted her to tell Heart Leaf where Ye and Crane Ten Night went. Although Olivia didn't think it was necessary, the family of the heart leaf must have known about it a long time ago. But she can't openly disobey Tsuru's orders... However, it doesn't matter what she does secretly, for example, the family member of Kokoha seems to be respectful to Kokoba, but it's just because she's not interested in anything other than collecting 'secrets'.
It just so happened that Kokonoha's order was to ask Mora to do the same.
Of course, dependents do not violate the principle of being dependents, at least, they do not provide information to the enemy about the gods they serve.
"Wake up, this heart leaf." She tried to wake up the pretending to be asleep - she didn't understand what drunkenness was, and she had been destined to be a dependant of the Seekers from birth.
The heart leaf showed no signs of waking up, and the body remained motionless as if it were dead.
"She's not going to wake up, she's not here at all," Pansy sat in the corner with a knife, like a dog bullied by her master, "I'm doing something unsightly on that dark plane, it's just a 'shell', she herself can't come directly on this plane, otherwise it will consume a lot of the power of existence in this world, causing devastating consequences." β
"Ahra, that's right, do you have a way to contact her? I don't think it's necessary, but everything that the God Chasers do is unnecessary. β
"Godchaser... What the hell is that? Pansy turned her face away, the knowledge that Mora had poured into her had not yet been fully digested.
There is always a price to pay for praying to the demon god, and the price that belongs to her is that she doesn't care about her past life. She even had a feeling of being reborn, and Pansy didn't understand why, and she was disappointed that she couldn't live up to this heart leaf's requirements.
That didn't bode well, at least that's what she thought now. It doesn't matter anymore whether it's hatred for the Red Apostle or the desired future.
"A god-chaser is a person who is destined to become one of the gods, and even if they themselves don't want to, they rarely have the means to resist, and I was taught to do so." Olivia replied lightly.
"Educated like that? Aren't you human? At least it was..."
"The god-chasers who were not human were in the majority, dear family candidates," Olivia forcefully interrupted Pansy's inquiry, "This heart leaf was a human before, and Ten Nights was a human before, but that doesn't mean that all god-chasers were human before. To tell you a piece of information, the God Chasers that this Heart Leaf and the Ten Nights have met are human before they become God Chasers, or ordinary humans like you, who can be counted on one hand. β
Among them are Tsuru Juya and Kokoro himself, and there are even many ordinary humans who refuse to embark on the path of chasing gods. Olivia didn't understand why, but that's what the guide who taught her told her.
"Could it be that they have separated the camp because of this? Just like this world, the Red Apostles also set out a part of their hostility to themselves. "Pansy doesn't really understand the meaning of the existence of the God Chaser.
"The Demon God and the Holy Spirit are the two most extensive camps among the God Chasers, but these two camps are basically not hostile, and it is more like a random decision to become a Demon God or a Holy Spirit. The only thing that really determines the belonging of the god-seeker is the will and spirit of the god-seeker. The weak go with the flow and have nothing to do. Those who maintain their own righteousness and firm beliefs face the endless darkness; Playing with others to applaud, sneering and rebelling against fate, staring into the dark emptiness. β
"So what does this have to do with whether or not you are born human?"
"Are you serious? Youngster. Olivia looked at Pansy in surprise.
Pansy shook her head, she really didn't understand the connection.
"Do the Red Apostles care about the lives and deaths of mankind? So, do the contractors of the Red World Demon King, the Fire Mist Warriors, care about the life and death of human beings? Of course, I don't care, the saint is unkind, and he treats all things as a dog. In the eyes of the gods, and even the gods, humans are equated with wild animals, and are no different from other intellectual creatures. Of course, there are some exceptions - a god-chaser born as an elf will defend the interests of the elves, and as a human being, he will become a human god. A unique existence, just alone, do whatever you want. Do you understand? β
"That special case sounds like a politician." Pansy pouted.
"That's right, it's pretty much something like that. And our dependents serve our unique monarch, you know? To put it simply, don't let them mess around," Olivia shook her finger, "You know, once your god is sealed, our family will almost be sentenced to death. β
When the gods are inactive, such as in a sealed state or when they are asleep for some reason, disaster strikes for their dependents. Any God-chasher believes that their dependents will do everything possible to set their masters free while they are sealed, and that they will suffer all the hatred provoked by the God-Chasers, the gods.
The better ones might be sealed with the gods, and the worse ones... Maybe even if their master wakes up for centuries, he won't be able to find the whereabouts of his dependents.
"I don't think I can stop my master from being stupid." Pansy shook her head vigorously.
"But you can die in her place, be sealed, and accept the curse," Olivia didn't care what Pansy thought, "You see, you should do these things when you're far less intelligent than the gods you serve." Because if you are sealed, she still has a chance to find you, but on the contrary, you can only accept your own incompetence and stupidity, and struggle forever. β
"If you don't want to end up at this point, then learn to be smart and let your master not do practical things."
"Don't do practical things? Why? β
The dependents could not understand the thoughts of this senior.
"I meanβcreating the world, saving the world, destroying the world, guiding the race, the kind of things that have a direct impact," Olivia shook her finger and tapped it on the cheek of the sleeping heartleaf, "Godchasers never do practical things, do you understand why?" Because this kind of thing is not worth mentioning, but it will make the stupid God Chasers feel that they are really gods. β
"Aren't they gods?"
"It's a god-chaser, a god-chaser without any godly qualifications, strength, wisdom, a god-chaser who doesn't meet the requirements of the gods in any way, just a reserve."
Konoha is indeed the 'master' who makes people feel uncomfortable. The king, who was fond of dancing on the tip of a knife at any moment, could drag her family into the water at any moment, and she herself was completely unconscious. The reason why Tsuru Shiye wants to make Miye her family may be due to this consideration. Although she is not sure if her master will have unrealistic feelings such as pity, Olivia can't find a reason for him to ask for a 'dependent' from Kokoba.
Unless... Unless Tsuru Juya thinks that Kokoba will have 'unrealistic feelings' because of Miba, of course, Olivia will not question this, and it would be nice for Tsuru Juya to find a job as a worry-free adopted daughter.
"I don't think I'm capable of stopping anything from the Void God." Pansy still didn't intend to accept the senior's advice, she picked up her sword and stood up, ready to return to the courtyard.
"She's not a god of nothingness, she's not a supreme god, she's a 'god-chaser', and the only difference between her and humans is her 'race', but my master doesn't think so, thanks to which I'm not doing well now."
If this heart leaf had the slightest idea of sealing the crane ten nights before, she must have completely succeeded, which is why Olivia is so uncomfortable.
"Is it all over? I'm going to start practicing. β
Even though Olivia said so much, Pansy didn't feel the slightest bit uneasy, maybe she had already stripped away those bad feelings. With the same knowledge from the two demon gods, she was keenly aware of Olivia's thoughts, but she was not sure, all she could do was wait for Kokoba to return and tell everything to the god she was going to serve.
Just as she was about to leave, the heart leaf lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, she yawned, sat up from the bed, touched her side, and did not find her bottle.
"Sumire, where's my wine? Oh no, it's the wine of the Ten Nights of the Crane? She asked casually.
"Tsuru Ten Nights took it out, you seem to be in a good mood." Pansy stopped and said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Olivia shrugged her shoulders slightly, she didn't think that Kokonoha would have that kind of feeling. Kokoro's face was fleeting with a look of surprise, and she ran to Sumire's side, about to say something to her, but she asked Olivia first:
"What about the crane ten nights and the leaves? At this time, did Tsuru run away with my daughter in ten nights? β
"Your Excellency, with all due respect, you may not know exactly what happened, which caused you to misunderstand this event, and I think I can explain it to you so that you can reconsider, reconsider, and think further, completely."
"That's pretty good, I see," Kokoba didn't look at her, but said to the person who would be her dependent, "Sumire, now I have more important things to teach you besides fighting, come with me." β
Kokoba got a lot of things from the ritual snake, such as how to use the power of existence, how to write the law of freedom, and... The making of the Noble Phantasm.
In other words, it's the 'magic weapon'.
