What does that mean?

What's wrong with pursuing freedom and autonomy?

"What does Master Kona think?"

Bai He sensed that there was an unpredictable trap hidden in these words, but he couldn't detect any malice on the smiling witch in front of him.

"This is to ask you what exactly 'freedom' is in your heart, with all due respect, in my superficial understanding. Kolina Hertiysk organized the language: "'Completely autonomous' freedom does not exist in the universe, living beings are born in obscurity, grow in adaptation, and all thinking is the product of the universe – whether you admit it or not." Shackles are everywhere. Whether it's from God, from the world, or from yourself. ”

She summed up and picked up the yawning white wolf on the ground.

"Whether you choose confrontation or asylum, the essence of this act is an 'adaptation' to the rules, and it doesn't matter whether the way you adapt is tough or not, but the nature of the act itself - the question before you now is that the future of the arcane is forcing you to sacrifice. ”

The witch's smile drew a beautiful arc: "Whether it is to take refuge in the protection of the gods, or to repair your mind to fight, if you want to continue, you are destined to lose something, and the 'freedom' of the mind I don't think is real at this time."

I don't think the latter option will work better than the former, maybe when you sort out your mind, you will find that you have lost more freedom, and fatally the modified mind is not even aware of it. ”

The witch sighed, "Mr. Bai, what do you think is the difference between this result and throwing your soul to a monster or evil god?"

Bai He's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he seemed to be thoughtful.

His expression changed, he lowered his head and thought for more than ten minutes, and finally raised his head, not knowing what he understood, and applauded lightly: "The wonderful remarks have inspired me deeply, Ms. Kona." ”

"Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to cause you a mess. Corina was taken aback.

She has always maintained a high vigilance for Bai He's state, because how to adjust her thinking to adapt to the source is the most critical level in the mage's journey, even if the choice of refuge in the gods requires quite difficult mental choices and extremely cumbersome rituals, so as to complete a conversion to the gods, borrowing the power of the gods to avoid risks is so troublesome, and it is even more difficult to rely on your own strength.

There are still some words she doesn't, from ancient times to the present, there are not a few proud wizards who are unwilling to submit to the gods, and it is true that a considerable number of them have achieved amazing achievements, but these wizards have more or less shown a tendency to madness.

At this time, Shirakawa is very dangerous in her mind, this is a guy who may not be able to support himself and become a madman at any time under the interference of the arcane, and his greed and thirst for power will speed up the progress of this process with all his might.

She brought up the subject with a heartfelt desire to see if she could get the dragon to give up its dangerous pride through debate, but now it seemed that the dragon's reaction was a little wrong.

"Although there are still some questions that I haven't figured out, you have given me an idea. Bai He raised the water glass: "The superficial 'freedom' is generally rooted in **, which is a truth. The most important thing to fight against interference is focus and unity, my ** and thoughts are too messy, and it is even more difficult to unify them, but the ideas have appeared. Thank you, Ms. Corinna, for your revelation, but I will not send you if I have to think seriously about the meaning of life now. ”

"Are you going to drive me away?" Corina was a little surprised, "You're still sticking to your idea??"

"Perhaps the result of self-correction is to turn oneself into a madman trapped in the 'freedom' of nothingness. Shirakawa laughed, "But in my opinion, making this choice is better than irresponsibly surrendering my soul to the will of the gods, at least for now, I still have the freedom to control my own will." ”

Corina looked at Bai He in surprise, stunned for a while, and said, "Wait, don't you want to take a look at the apprentices that the association has selected for you?"

"Hmm, can you still pick and choose?" Bai He was quite surprised: "Don't tell me that I was chosen in the first place, and it was also the result of being chosen?"

"This is our benefit to our outstanding students. Corina lifted her finger, and the liquid in the teacup floated, transforming into a glittering mirror in the air, like a photo projector, with holograms and biographies flipping through the slides as the witch explained:

"You see, this one is called Shatara, a direct descendant of Mephistophelis, the lord of the eighth layer of hell, because he wants to study the essence of the arcane law not far from the eighth layer of hell, he came to the main material realm to perform rituals, and wants to enter our Eight Leaves Society to study; The son of Shi Mansdon, well, he decided to betray his father, so secretly performed a ritual and summoned us......"

"Wait a minute. Why do these guys all sound like weird stuff with a whole bunch of trouble? Not even humans, well, there's a ...... But how can this sneaky feeling be so unpleasant?" Bai He frowned and interrupted the witch's play, "Can you have a more normal one?"

"This, according to the contract at that time, the apprentices who can be sent to you must have signed additional security agreements in advance. Corina said embarrassedly: "This, who would sign that thing for a normal apprentice?"

She watched Bai He's face get darker and darker, and her tone became more and more empty: "No, if you are not satisfied with the above, look at this, this one is still related to you: Yashadrin, he is a red dragon dragonborn......"

"I am white, not red. Bai He rolled his eyes and interrupted honestly and unceremoniously: "Master Kona, if you fool me so insincerely, my sincerity will be almost gone! I don't believe that the apprentices who signed the additional contract are all like this, there is no relatively normal human being, don't lie to me, I will be very angry if I find out that I have been deceived! The consequences are very serious!"

"Uh~ Okay, I knew that the people in the club were too naïve, how could they take advantage of you so much. The witch complained in frustration, and when she smoothed the water curtain, this slide happened to play to the next one, and the corner of Bai He's eyes swept over the image, and he was suddenly stunned: "Wait, what is this?!"

The witch was stunned, she stopped, and restored the curtain of water, which was greeted by an ugly humanoid creature, and one of the most disgusting images of women in general, often used by women in some regions to describe a man who was like a mess of mud.

It stood on two feet, with long hands and feet, unclothed, its pale and slippery body full of pustules, its large eyes emitting an alert and cunning light, and its tongue occasionally turned out in its large mouth.

Kona looked at this thing unhappily, but saw Bai He on the other side stunned, and the witch was suddenly surprised:

This white dragon actually fell in love with this guy? What a strange taste! Sure enough, he was a dragon and not a person, and there would never be a human being in this kind of biological material world who could tolerate it.

didn't know that when Bai He saw this guy at this moment, his mind was immediately filled with indescribable excitement.

"Your Excellency Frostwings. Looking at Bai He's eyes at the monster, Kena finally couldn't help but interrupt: "This ...... This is a newborn Shira dead toad.,In order to pursue the power of the arcane, he found Yaba.,Could it be ...... Are you interested in him?"

"Hmm~" Bai He glanced at this guy a few times and nodded: "That's right." That's it, what's it called?"

"Well, we're going to keep it a secret from him until the contract is formalized, so you can wait two days. ”

Bai He nodded, got up to see Corina away, and as he walked along, he was still frowning, pondering that his behavior just now seemed a little irrational.

However, as soon as the rolling membrane force from his heart came up, he couldn't hold back the thoughts in his head, and there was nothing he could do.

This Bai He was talking happily with Corina and a dragon, and the news of Ellie brought by Sislian over there, saying that the silver dragon had finished writing the review, and sure enough, there were a lot of five thousand words, and every word seemed to be blood, like crying and complaining, which was very touching.

This Baihe was very unhappy when he saw half of it, and smashed the water curtain projection, and commented on Na Sislian: "Unqualified." ”

Heath and Ellie communicated remotely for a while, and asked, "My lord, the test subject has listened to your reply and is asking for revisions. ”

"Isn't this obvious?" Bai He rolled his eyes and said, "A lot of repetition of words, obviously not according to my request! And what does this full of grief and despair mean? Spread negative energy? Isn't this a clear obstruction for me? As if I had arrested her just to torture her! The style is too vulgar! Failed!"

"We arrested her because she illegally ran a newspaper on the big glacier to conduct paparazzi-style interviews, which is a big immoral act, and arresting her to participate in scientific research is equivalent to labor reform. The purpose is to punish the past and save the dragon, so that she can understand her mistakes, and deeply and sincerely reflect on her behavior, and gain the joy of being a dragon again in this reflection. Bai He said in a heartfelt manner: "Only in this way can we reflect our deep love and eager rescue for her, and reflect the positive energy of the dragon, so that other dragons will be grateful and excited at a glance; ”

Heath was dumbfounded by this crooked reasoning, and he stood there for a while, and when he got the news from inside, his face was sad: "Boss, the test subject has listened to Sister Ellie's opinion and suddenly started to go crazy, and the warhead is suppressing her. ”

Wait for her to calm down and let her continue writing. ”

With White River's orders, Hislian left speechless.

Lady Nakorina came with Bellaro, who knew a little about the matter, and was also stunned by Shirakawa's shamelessness, she stood there, looking at the dragon who had suddenly made a name for himself in the Northlands, and had a better understanding of his bastard character, and did not dare to stay longer, and after saying goodbye, she left, and her figure disappeared into the tunnel.

The figure of Hislian who had just left appeared again, and Bai He exhaled, paused, and asked, "Is there any other news?"

"Yes, boss, Ellie just activated the radar module of the computing center to scan it, confirming that the message brought by the silver dragon named Belloro is correct. Hislian raised the modified personal utility terminal on his right hand, and a large map was projected holographically, and the five-color logo appeared on the map of nearly five miles around the White River lair: "A large number of five-colored dragons have been approaching the Great Glacier in the recent period, and now there are nearly thirty colored dragons around, including eight green dragons, eleven blue dragons, and most of the rest are white dragons, as well as two black dragons and a red dragon. ”

"So many blue dragons and green dragons?" Bai He became annoyed, "This must be the ghost of the dead old woman, only the blue dragon and the green dragon will really take her oracle seriously." With so many local chickens and dogs gathered together, do you want to challenge the company's defense system?"

"It doesn't look like it, boss, there's a strange phenomenon. Sislian's expression suddenly became strange, he glanced at Bai He, and said with some hesitation: "Most of these colored dragons are females, only a small number of male blue dragons and green dragons, but the leaders are all female dragons. ”

"What the hell is this?" Shirakawa said in surprise.

"The specific situation still needs to be further investigated. ”

"You send the range of these dragons to my subbrain. Bai He frowned: "Let me personally go out and get a question to see what that old woman in Tiamat is up to." ”
