Chapter 49: In the name of the Light, believe in the Light
Changing beliefs is a trivial matter for Hiko. www.biquge.info When he was still struggling under the disease in his previous life, he changed his beliefs several times. From a staunch Marxist to a devout Buddhist, and from a Buddhist to a faithful Lamb of God. Then he became a ****** and began to worship Allah's Allah, Allah Allah's Allah.
He can guarantee that he was definitely believing in these so-called gods with the most devout attitude at that time. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and the fact that he could step into death at any time made his faith extremely pure. And he didn't ask for much, he just hoped that his condition would not deteriorate. Compared to those billionaires who ask for something at every turn, his thirst is really insignificant.
However, it was such a small hope that none of the so-called gods had satisfied him. He received one notification after another of his condition and one failed operation after another. Over time, he never believed in any so-called gods again. It's not that you don't believe in their existence, it's that you don't believe that they will lend a hand to you. He had realized that instead of pinning his faith on gods that may or may not exist, on miracles that are impossible at all, it was better to pin them all on himself.
Believing in oneself is the choice that Hiko made under the torture of his illness. And until now, he has not changed his faith, but he has added a new label to his faith - Holy Light.
The Light itself is a very forgiving being. It does not seek the faith of others, nor does it require the faith of anyone. You can put his trust in God, as the Paladins and Priests did in the beginning. They treat Naru almost like a god, and even fall into the shadows due to the bewitchment of some ancient gods.
Of course, you can also place the Light on yourself, like Tirio Fortin. This paladin was deprived of everything and rediscovered the purest power of the Holy Light from his faith and soul.
It approves of almost any act of the Queen, as long as your heart always agrees with it. So, a guy like Hiko directly classifies the Holy Light on himself. He didn't want those paladins in the Chapel of Light to be exposed to all sorts of dogmas from the beginning. His thoughts come from his own life, and his power comes from the teachings of Palladia. Neither is the type to worship others, so choosing the same path as Tirio is almost a given.
He put his faith in the Light, and the Light for him was the embodiment of his own will and faith. So, there is nothing wrong with him saying that he believes in the Light. However, in the case of the dome, this does not apply.
The Dome does not know the Light, nor does it want to receive it like Hiko. She only needed the Light because of a thought of hers, an idea that was not very important. Therefore, it was impossible for her to put the Holy Light in the depths of her heart and maintain it like a sign. And that's the problem.
There is a price to be paid for any power, and neither does the Light. It's just that it needs too little, so it's relatively free. As the purest force of order, the Light requires a firm belief in what it represents, and that all is meant by the user. So the scope is actually quite broad. However, this also means that the Light must occupy a place of faith. Even a completely custom belief like Hiko's must be.
However, for the Dome, this is simply not possible. She believed in Alexia, the dragon of the sun, one of the gods of the native world. For the sake of this faith, she even broke with the traditions of the Nords and became a typical outlier. This is enough to prove her devotion to the Sunseekers. And now, Yan actually asked her if she would like to change her faith, which is almost like a mockery in front of a pious ****** advocating that God Dafa is good and that faith in Christ will lead to eternal life.
Therefore, without saying a word, Qiongji directly flew out with a punch and smashed it at Hiko's face full of seriousness.
However, Hiko, who already has some understanding of the character of the dome, has long been on guard against her move. As soon as she did so, he jerked backwards, monkey-like behind the fire. Across a firepit confronted the dome.
"I'm just talking, you don't have to be so serious. If you don't want to, we'll forget it. Just as if nothing happened?"
"Come, let me print two seals for you, and I'll act as if nothing happened!"
Smiling slightly, Dome showed her generosity, but what she said did not match the expression on her face at all. In other words, she didn't mean to bring everything to the past.
Hearing her say this, Hiko immediately shouted and screamed.
"Why. It didn't take much effort for you to learn this kind of thing, and I had to risk my life to beat you up in the end. Even if you're a slave, you don't have to play like this. You're just crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"
"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, this is a good description. But the problem is, I haven't crossed the river yet!" Apricot glared, but Dome lowered his fist and put away his previous intentions. Still, she stared at Hiko and said viciously to him. "This is the last time, if next time let me hear any thoughts about your blasphemy of my faith. I promise, I'll give you a little bit of a good color to look at. At the very least, it will also make you lie in bed for a full winter!"
"Don't worry, next time you just stick an axe in my neck, I won't have any such thoughts. I swear!"
Accept it when you see it, this is the experience that Yan summed up in getting along with the dome. Dome is a man of considerable restraint and big-picture vision, so, as long as he shows this attitude, they can generally end up in peace. Unless, she's determined to pay attention to something.
And now, she clearly has no idea of continuing. In fact, she was still haunted by the Light.
"You just said that practicing this power requires a change of faith? Are you sure you're not bluffing me?"
"I promise I'm not bluffing you!" Rolling his eyes, Hiko was a little speechless at Dome's insistence. However, in order not to provoke her again, he still answered honestly. "You can see it, it's a magical power. And to get this magical power, you have to give something. Faith is not valuable, so why can't you do it?"
Although Hiko covered up the specific content in a brushstroke at the end, Qiong, who understood what he meant, still glanced at him angrily before speaking in a deep voice.
"I don't believe that if this power is really what you say, why don't you believe in it?"
"Who said I didn't believe in it, have you heard me say I don't believe in the Light?"
On this topic, Hiko directly grinned and showed an extremely smug smile.
"I praise the Light and believe in the Light. I can act in the name of the Light, and I can even trust every task that the Light has given me. I have said all this, doesn't that prove that I believe in the Light?"
If anyone had said such a thing, the Dome would have no doubt about it. After all, the matter of faith is very important, not only in life, but also in the decision of belonging after death. Hardly anyone would joke about this kind of thing. However, for Hiko, who dared to say this, she was not sure whether what he said was true or false.
Just as Hikiko already has a preliminary understanding of Qiong's character, Qiong also has a special understanding of Hiko. In her opinion, Hiko is a very strange guy. In the way he behaves in the world, or when he makes decisions on some matters of principle, he does not look like a child at all, but like a mature wise man. This is what amazed her.
And unlike this performance, this guy's personality is extremely bad. Although it is not very obvious, the dome can clearly perceive that this guy has a natural problem of not taking others seriously. He has a scrutinizing eye for almost anyone, and all the status symbols in this world don't seem to mean much to him.
And he himself has a sense of being outside. He never seemed to be part of a collective. Instead, he always maintains an outsider's perspective with a cynical attitude. This makes him seem maverick and very eccentric. It's so weird that you have to pay attention to him. And it's not easy to get close to him.
The dome felt very clearly, this guy had been hiding a lot of secrets. He didn't seem to want anyone else to know his secrets. So his words and deeds are always half-truths and half-truths, with a natural delusion. It's not that he likes to tell lies, it's that all his performances are hiding his true self. So, when you have time, it's hard to tell what he really means.
I have to say that women's intuition is really very keen. After just two days of getting along, Qiong already has a very in-depth understanding of Hiko. And it was this understanding that made her immediately ask him at this time.
"Are you joking with me? If so, then all I can say is that the cost of your joke is really big. ”
"Are you kidding? Of course not. I'm serious!" narrowed his eyes, putting a perfect smile on his face. Hiko gave the final explanation for his actions. "I am the Light, and the Light is my will. So I believe in the Light, what's wrong? In the name of the Light, believe in the Light!"
