Chapter 0491: Successor

Tang Ning told the other party how he was born, and the old man swept away a moth that wanted to get close to the candlelight, and said with a smile: "It looks like you are luckier than me, at least you have only experienced a rain, I was born in the realm of no reason and fell in a sand pit, ruining my skin." He pulled back his clothes, and it was all burned.

Put the clothes back in. "Then the men of the Realm of Innocence raised me and taught me many magical magics, just as the members of the Knights of the Round Table trained you, and they regarded me as their only hope, the hope of revenge, but they were very kind to me and never forced me. ”

"Later, at the age of eighteen, I was allowed to leave the realm of innocence and return to the real world, and began my plan of revenge. ”

"As you can see, I seem to have done a little better than you, and without even having to come forward in person, I let those people completely overthrow the rule of the Knights of the Round Table, and those people replaced the Knights of the Round Table as the current mysterious organization, continuing to rule the world, becoming agents of heaven and hell. ”

He is not the only one, Tang Ning seems to see his future self, and he will also experience the same thing as the old man, but it is not certain whether he will choose to do so in the end.

"Don't think too much, you'll end differently than I do. The old man reminded.

Downing didn't feel the slightest danger now. "I'm going to overthrow the mysterious organization that you personally pushed onto the stage of history, shouldn't you kill me now?"

The old man shrugged. "Why should I kill you, like you said, I just pushed them onto the stage of history, I am not friends with them, I did what I could, and the rest has nothing to do with me. "The old man said it lightly, dissociating himself from the current mysterious organization.

"I was proud of the Knights of the Round Table when I succeeded in overthrowing the Knights of the Round Table, and then I was appreciated by Heaven and Hell, who not only did not punish me, but also gave me the power of eternal life and pure magic, for which I was proud, but now I ......"

Downing glanced around. "But now you don't have wealth and status, you have to die alone. ”

"No, no, no, it's my own choice, they promised me power and status, and wealth, but I refused. The old man waved his hand and let out a self-deprecating laugh. "So I don't regret it, it's really sad that I wasted my life when I was younger, just swapped one group of villains for another, and now all of this is caused by me, which means that my mission has failed. ”

Unexpectedly answered, Downing didn't know what to say. "It looks like you've had a different idea. ”

"Yes, I had different ideas, I thought that the world would change when I did that, I was naΓ―ve, it was just a cycle, and the cycle repeated. The old man looked lonely, like a sunset about to set.

Tang Ning fell into deep thought, and he began to think about whether what he was doing now was really meaningful, and whether he would be like the old man in front of him in the future.

"But young man, you've met me, so you have another choice. There was a rare glow in the old man's eyes. "Maybe you won't make the same mistake as I did, if you make a change. ”

"And what are we?" Downing introduced the topic into a new realm, both he and the old man were born naturally, born in different places, but in a similar environment, there had been countless days and nights, he

I wondered where I came from, but I didn't get an accurate answer.

"Vulnerability. The old man replied.

"Loophole?" Downing didn't understand.

The old man pointed to the counter in front of him. "What did you find?"

Downing glanced at the counter, the paint on the counter peeled off, looking mottled and old, but he couldn't see any difference.

The old man bent down and reached out to open the small cabinet under the counter, which was covered with holes that had been bitten by insects, apparently rotten.

"What do you want to say?" Downing saw the holes, but still didn't understand what they could represent, or that they didn't represent anything.

"The counter is made from the best craftsmen, and I decided to live here after I came here, people have to live, no matter how long or short your life is, you have to be as meaningful as possible, you have to have friends, you have to have neighbors, you have to be able to have something, like a dog or a cat or something, but I don't like it very much, so I refuse to do it, you can do it if you don't reject it. ”

"I customized the counter and opened this little bar, where all the drinks were prepared by me, and I lived a comfortable life. The old man rubbed his fingers against the holes in the small cabinet on the counter, and layers of sawdust fell. But the best craftsman apparently made the mistake of forgetting to paint the inside of the cabinet with the same antiseptic, so that the cabinet looked shiny on the outside but rotten on the inside. ”

The old man is like talking about the anti-corrosion knowledge of furniture, and Tang Ning expects to hear some clues from these anti-corrosion knowledge of furniture.

"This gives the bugs a chance, after all, there is always a consequence for someone to make a mistake, and for the cabinet, the consequence is the bugs, and the bugs start to corrode from the inside, and when the cabinet is full of devastation, if you don't open it, you will never find out what is going on inside. ”

"The same is true of the Creator, his identity is equivalent to that of a craftsman, and his work is equivalent to the structure of the world, everything is created by him, and this world is quite a cabinet in front of him, which is flawless on the surface, and everything runs according to the rules, but even the creator with great wisdom sometimes makes mistakes, and when he creates the world, he also makes some small mistakes, which are similar to the inside of the cabinet is not painted. ”

Tangning suddenly understood the meaning of the loophole. "We're those little bugs, seizing the hole. ”

"Quite accurately, the two of us are little worms, just grasping the loopholes, ignoring the rules of the world prescribed by the Creator, and starting to corrode this seemingly perfect, but flawed perfect work from within, trying to find a breakthrough from those loopholes, so that the loopholes of the work that the Creator thinks are perfect are gradually enlarged, revealed, and finally achieve the purpose of destroying this work. ”

A perfect metaphor that both himself and the old man are the product of omission in the work of the Creator, and Downing learns of his origin, so breaking the rules of this world is a fate that they need to complete after they are born, otherwise their birth will be meaningless.

The old man slammed his glass upside down on the counter. "And now I'm a bug who isn't good enough, and I just got holes and left marks on the counter, so someone put candy in the cabinet and drew my attention to it, and then someone temporarily patched up the hole I made so that the surface still looked perfect. β€œ

"Obviously

You lose your sense of purpose at a critical moment. Downing commented.

The old man agreed with the young man's statement and looked at the young man. "Revenge doesn't have any sense of mission, and if you want to use revenge to urge you to continue to open the holes in the world, it's obviously unlikely in the end. ”

Downing also slammed his glass upside down on the table and lowered the brim of his hat. "I'm sorry, my mission used to be revenge, but then someone changed me, and from now on my mission is no longer revenge, like you said, I destroyed the mysterious organization, but pushed another of the same organization to the forefront, there is no point in doing that. ”

"That's right, so what is your mission now?" the old man was curious.

"Seek the truth. Downing got up from his chair, the fatigue on his body had been swept away, and the effect of the drink was obviously more useful than any refreshing potion.

After the old man's revenge was over, he proudly accepted the conditions of Heaven and Hell, and then left, and came here, obviously he didn't know the real reason why Heaven and Hell set up the Knights of the Round Table or the mysterious organization, he had to ask Heaven and Hell clearly, if they couldn't give a satisfactory answer, Downing would continue to move forward, not hesitating to destroy Heaven and Hell.

It's the source of motivation to move on now, and it's indeed more exciting than revenge.

"Hopefully you'll succeed. The old man got up and said apologetically, "Unfortunately, I don't know how to reset the Might and Magic Gate, so you'll have to think of something else." ”

Downing shrugged. "It's okay, I've found a way. ”

He is the successor of the old man, and I believe that he is by no means the second person, it is possible that there have been countless loopholes like himself before this, and in the end they all made the same choice as the old man, so the world still runs as it is, and no one knows what the real purpose of Heaven and Hell is in creating those agents.

Before leaving the door, he asked one last question. "What is that paladin?"

Of course, the old man knew who the young man was referring to, he lowered his head and removed one of the supporting legs under the counter, and the counter began to shake a little, and then got up to look at the young man at the door. "He is the leg of this counter, the perfect work has stood the test of time, there will always be some problems of its own highlighted, this beautifully carved counter support leg was originally one of the most proud places of the craftsman, but time made him loosen, but it became the most fatal problem of the counter, if the work of the creator is the cabinet, we are the worms, the paladin is the leg of the cabinet, once praised, over time became a problem, or the deadliest loophole. ”

Cybertron is lying in bed, the feeling of exhaustion comes, during the day he is always in high spirits, always with inexhaustible energy, but whenever he lies in bed he feels tired like never before, no one can have infinite energy, during the day he does not feel just because there is no opportunity to get tired, let alone tired, because there is still a lot of work to do.

But when he was lying in bed, the tiredness was so intense, and he couldn't close his eyes, he thought of the disgusting young man, and the other's hands began to tremble, meaning that the other person was more tired than himself.

Close your eyes, at least wait until the sun shines before getting up, even if you can't sleep, some things are predestined and can't be changed, and the same is true for eating.
