Chapter 921, Some Kinds of Revenge
Fryman's former glory ended after an hour or so of singing, without exaggerated descriptions or overly strong emotional expressions, but it made Xiao Yan feel that something was choking on his heart, unbearable.
Fryman disappeared, and his wives died one by one, but the human beings who should really take responsibility did not pay anything. All life deserves salvation, but a life stabbed in the back is no different from a demon. When Xiao Yan fought the demons in the Viscount Castle, he had felt all this. The silent Knights of Punishment nearly ruined everything. If it weren't for the situation, the knights who were simply loyal to the Pope might end up letting the demons scatter their white flagella, and then shift all the blame to the knights and Fryman in the future.
Since then, the Knights of Punishment have played an inglorious role, and these Knights of Punishment have remained as loyal as ever, regardless of the change of the Pope. It's just that this loyalty is not to humanity as a whole, or to a nation, but only to the Pope.
Xiao Yan had learned to forgive before, and now, he needed to learn revenge.
Just like the question raised by the great philosophers of China, how to repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?
Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. Only in this way can those who have been saved know what is being saved, and those who are self-righteous know what anger is.
"I'm going to ruin the Knights of Discipline, no matter what method is used, no matter what Fryman thinks."
Xiao Yan tapped lightly on the table and said calmly, "I want to kill the former Pope, but he is dead." No matter how the Knights of Punishment behave, I must cut off the Pope's outstretched hand completely. Let the Pope know what pain is. Only cut off this hand. to make the Pope's ambitions less enormous. β
Descartes smiled. He said, "You are taking out your anger on others, and the Knights of Discipline cannot take full responsibility for the Pope's actions." β
Xiao Yan looked at the tavern that was noisy again and said, "Of course, the hand can't bear the master's guilt, but as long as I cut off every hand that stretches out, then the master will stretch out less in the future, and he won't continue to cause trouble." β
Descartes shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's sophistry, but I like it." β
The bartender then stood up. Say, "Give me your fragment of the Tree of the World, and as a deal, we will help you, what do you think?" β
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan casually pushed the fragments on the table to Descartes, saying, "From now on, it will be yours." β
Descartes whistled, then raised his hand, hooked his fingers, and motioned for Trishart over there. Tall, slender elves floated quietly like shadows. Standing next to the table, looking at the fragment in silence.
"He wants revenge. What do you think of avenging Flemann and destroying the Knights of Punishment? β
Descartes stared at Trishart and asked, "I need your help, if it were just to disguise a title of nobility, of course it wouldn't be so troublesome." But now it's different, this one of mine, uh, customer, yes, St. Flemann said so, customer. This client of mine wants to do bigger, so I can't do it alone, how about you help me? β
Trishart then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, and after a moment of silence, the elf said, "Destroy the Knights of Punishment, and the Pope will have other knights." β
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "One destroys the other until the Pope is unable to build a knight order that belongs to him." β
Trishart fell silent, and after a few more moments, the elf raised his hand and motioned for his companion to come. After inquiring about Xiao Yan's address, the elf asked his companion to investigate.
"We have to be vigilant enough, it's good for you and me."
Xiao Yan had no objection to Trishart's words, he turned his head to look at Sylvia and asked, "What do you think?" β
Sylvia stroked Leah's head and responded, "You should ask Quist this question, not me." If you don't want to cause a split in the team. It's better to make everything clear to Quist, and it won't do anyone any good to keep it like this. Moreover, you are not directed against his Lord, but at the Pope of this age, and if you make it clear, you should be able to obtain his forgiveness. On the contrary, he has been so deliberately concealed, which will only make him more and more distant from us. β
Xiao Yan nodded, then watched Noel staring at him, rubbing his brows, and the young awakened person asked, "What?" β
Noel hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, nothing, I'm just curious about your language." You're going to send us to Stuttgart, right? Do you want to go anyway? β
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and said, "That's what I promised your father, and that's what I have to do." β
"Are we your trouble?"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "No, of course not, we have enough troubles, but you can't talk about it yet." Not to mention that you can now take care of your sister safely, which is great for us. β
Nolel turned his head to look at the intelligent beings and said, "I'm the same as them, right?" I'm not human, I know the way, I've known the way since I hurt you. Before that, I had been scared, do you know how scared? I thought you would never be afraid. I'm scared, I'm afraid that human beings will know my identity, and I'm afraid of this loneliness, do you know it? I thought it was just me and my sister in this world, and we were very, very lonely. β
"That's called inferiority, dear Nolelle, and that's always the case when you find out you're an anomaly."
Descartes, who was on the side, suddenly said, "May I call you dear NolΓ¨re?" That's what they call you. Listen, if human beings go to the place where we gather, they will be afraid of being likewise afraid, afraid of being ostracized, afraid of being hurt. Conversely, we remain in the realm of humanity and so will we. Because you are afraid of being hurt, you will take the initiative to hurt others, and use this method to draw a line and let others stay as far away from you as possible. Because if I don't come near you, I won't hurt you. The more this happens, the more lonely and scared you become, and the more alienated and hated you are from the lives you have hurt. This mood is not only for you, but for all intelligent beings. You can see werewolves only in werewolf gathering points, and dwarves like dwarven city-states. Don't be confused and frightened by this, that's the most normal reaction, St. Flemann tells us that when you are afraid of them, you are afraid of life itself. Are you afraid to live, Nolelle? β
The little girl shook her head repeatedly, and what Descartes said seemed to make her understand, but she could get a calming power from the bartender, and this strength made her feel much more at ease.
Descartes took the new goat's milk from Tolia and gave it to Norel, saying, "That's why St. Flemann has established such a gathering place, and he wants us to come together, to know each other, and not to fear each other." He said that the more you respect life, the more respect and kindness you will receive. β
After a pause, Descartes continued, "Respect life, therefore, respect your adversaries, your enemies, your friends, and your own life." Don't give up your life casually, don't take the life of others at will, don't care if you're an alien, don't care if they're afraid of you. Keeping this in mind, you will gain a lot, both here and in human society. β
After listening to this, Nolel turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "Parin, can I follow you?" Although he had a point, I think I wanted to see the wider world, like the children of St. Flemann. When he entered the Dragon Palace, wasn't he only a teenager? What he was able to do, I hope to be able to do. β
Xiao Yan laughed, he rubbed Nolaire's head, turned his head and asked Leah, "Hey, little fat man, what do you think?" β
Leah cooed, and Tolia brought her a plate of sausages, and the little girl enjoyed Tolya's pleasure stroking her head while taking a big bite of Tolia's sausage. As for what questions Xiao Yan asked, the little girl just kept nodding her head, nodding her head, looking like a rock singer performing there.
"Okay," Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Sylvia, and the female vampire shrugged slightly, noncommittal, which made Xiao Yan make up his mind: "I may not be as good as St. Fleman, hell, how can I not be as good as him?" Well, well, whether it compares or not, he was able to enter the Dragon Palace with the child, and I have no reason why I can't. When we get to Stuttgart, I'll have a good talk with the saint, but I don't know whose child this saint is. β
Sylvia turned her head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "Are you very interested in the Holy Maiden?" Or are you more interested in the mother of the Holy Maiden? β
"Hey, I haven't had that heavy mouth yet."
Xiao Yan complained, and he said, "I don't want to have as many wives as Flemann, that's not a happy thing." Relatively speaking, with you, uh, well, and Tristina by my side, that's enough. β
"And your two Red Dragon Maids."
Sylvia said in Mandarin, she winked at Xiao Yan, and then said, "Even the ice dragon didn't let go, will you let them go?" β
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, and turned his head to look at Descartes, who seemed to be able to understand some meanings although he didn't understand it, and was also smiling weirdly. Just then, Trishardt's companion walked in and nodded slightly at Triss.
"You have griffins? I don't see that you have such strength. β
The elven chanter looked at the crystal ball brought by his companion and exclaimed in heartfelt admiration, "You exchanged the griffin for the earl?" You've gained the Count's trust, while also saving yourself the trouble of griffons. Human, you are indeed more shrewd than I can imagine. Werewolf, do you want to take a look? β
Descartes was obviously also shocked by Xiao Yan's strength, he looked sideways at a crystal, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and said, "Hey, we have an amazing patron." (To be continued......)
