It's tricky......
Link felt that this matter was more difficult than assisting Bray to replace Lorelei's priesthood, and if it was not handled well, it would not only lead to Doyle's fall and demonization, but also further deteriorate the already precarious relationship between the wood elves and humans, and might even endanger the Wind Pillar, which was closely related to him.
That guy didn't reveal my identity, and he also wanted to see how well I cope, tsk~ This psychologically dark sociopath.
The open-mindedness was conveyed directly to Lorelei and Jafar, and the former did not say anything about Link's difficulty, but the latter thought that the hidden danger should be eliminated before things became out of control.
Link vetoed Jafar's suggestion: [What the radical Dawn Sect didn't do, but you, as a druid, suggested that I kill this innocent life?]
[The life of the individual is fundamentally compared with the stability of the world. The wolf jumped on the roof of the carriage and tried to convince Link to let go of his personal values.
[It's not that I can't tell the priorities of things, but ...... As an old adversary, I know Frost too well, better than anyone else in this world, not even Hicks, the Grim Reaper. 】
Link thinks that Frost must know the 'Four Divine Skills' that are the core abilities of the Children of Nature, and it is hard to guarantee that it will not use this to turn against itself, and what God knows is the memory of the past, and the things that were born in the Exiled Land also belong to this category, and it is also the 'history of the past', if Frost and Cold do something with the memories that belong to Winnie, wouldn't it make them force Doyle, who was already miserable and miserable enough, to a dead end? After the temptation, he was told that the reason for his ostracism and exile was that he was half-human, half-demon, and that he had poor psychological endurance. will be crazy to take revenge on society......
Compared to the previous one, Link believes that this inference is more in line with Frost's character. He made up his mind that since fate had met the two of them, if he saw Doyle abandoned by fate and did not do anything to save and prevent her from falling, then he really had no human power.
[Have you really decided?] Lorelei, who had never expressed an opinion, finally spoke.
[Yes.] 】
[Zhu's safety is not as good as that little ghost? just because her experience is similar to yours?]
Lorelei's questioning made Link silent for a long time, and it took a long time before he gave an answer.
"I didn't help because her experience was similar to mine. The world is made up of different races and species, each of which is an important part of life. If I use the excuse of the big picture to kill the child who doesn't even know my own background, what difference is there between what I do and Frost and Cold? and claim to be the guardian of the world in my own capacity? The pillar summoned me from the other world, made me an attempt to exercise his power, and gave me the right to judge and decide. I will listen to your advice, but that doesn't mean I have to follow your advice. It's up to me to decide what to do. Link's gaze crossed over the wolf and landed on Doyle, who had been staring at him all night, even though he was in a semi-meditative state using Divine Sense. He could also feel the gaze on him.
Feeling the firm thought in Link's consciousness, Jafar barked frantically, and even stopped it with a loud voice: "You really want to do this?!"
"Are you going to stop me?" said this, Link also consciously warned Jafar that he was still a child of nature at this moment, a party to the lord of the contract. In what capacity is it going to stop the druids, the magicians, the magical creatures?
"Melville. Just as Link and Jafar stared, a voice interjected between them. It was the High Priest Alicina, who walked over with a solemn face, and raised her head to make a request that would make Link different.
"I have something to talk to you about alone. ”
Glancing at the wolf, Link nodded. [You stay here and watch Doyle, don't let him eavesdrop on my conversation with the High Priest.] 】
Link had a hunch. The High Priest was going to talk to him about Doyle.
The old duke gave the Dawn Sect a seal on his granddaughter in exchange for not killing, and they must have known that Melville was not Doyle's true father. All of this was acting, and Link was worried about whether Alysina had seen through her disguise.
Because of their special status, the two were not restricted by the wood elves. Leaving the treehouse and walking far enough away from Bunian to make sure no one was following, Alysina stopped.
"Are you going to tell him the truth?" "As Doyle's raiser in the Dawn Sect, the High Priest is also responsible for keeping an eye on him. Although she had been educated to become a fanatical follower of Dawn, Alysina had been careful for many years, not daring to let Doyle know her origins, for fear that she would not be able to bear it and embark on a path of no return. Once the seal is broken, the demonic nature will be restored, and Arisina will also end the child she raised single-handedly.
Hearing Alysina's words, Link also knew that the other party didn't plan to continue acting with him.
"I think the opposite of yours, the more lies are weaved, the more it hurts her. Instead of being wary of all kinds of things, it is better to tell the truth and do everything possible to influence and shape. No matter what her ancestry is, the fact that she is always part human cannot be erased. gave her the name of a human being, gave her the identity of a human being, and even grew up in a human way, since this is the case, she should be given the opportunity to choose, whether to continue to be a human being, or inherit the other half of the bloodline in her body and become a demon. ”
Alysina paused for a few seconds before she scolded, "Ridiculous! Do you know who her father is?"
"Huh, isn't it me?" Link punned, though he wasn't sure if the High Priest was aware that he was a child of nature, but the other party did know that he wasn't Melville himself.
Link's answer left Alysina speechless again, and she pressed her eyebrows helplessly.
Along the way, the High Priest eavesdropped on several times, and although she couldn't figure out what the mysterious man posing as a ranger was talking to the druid, she knew who this person was. Just now, she made another prophecy about 'Melville', but it came to nothing. Except for the Weavers, only the dead cannot predict. From this, Alysina has concluded that it is not the Ranger himself who meets in Valolet, but someone who has the ability to pretend without being recognized. All of them point to the recently born Child of Nature, who has disappeared since he helped Bray replace Lorelei. Doyle's true identity, except for those who witnessed it back then, can only be discovered by the children of nature who have the ability of 'divine knowledge'.
Even if it was Melville herself, Alysina could kill him in the name of 'maintaining order', but if it was a child of nature, she was not absolutely sure. What's more, that person still has the holy emblem given by Chenxi himself, so he can't force it.
"You have to do this, but how much effort did it take us to keep her from falling into the devil?"
"I hate to do things under the banner of 'I'm for your good', maybe your point is good, but is that what she needs? If one day it suddenly became clear that all the forbearance she had done was meaningless, and the high priest who had replaced her mother as the caregiver had been secretly watching her, how could the child not collapse? If she fell into the devil because of this, the Dawn Sect would have to bear at least half of the blame. Knowing Doyle's origins, Link no longer sees the ill-fated half-demon as a hassle to get out of it.
"Well, then, please tell the self-proclaimed arbiter of Nature's son, what are you going to do?" Link's accusatory tone angered Alicina.
"Find the right opportunity to tell her the truth. ”
"That's it, what if she can't bear it?" the Grand Priest sneered, "what are you going to do then?"
"If she wants to live as a human being, I will shelter her, and I will do my best to keep her for one day if I live. If she doesn't want to be a human anymore and wants to become a demon, then let her go to the abyss. If she wants to take revenge on the world like Frost, I don't have a good time with everyone, then I will do my best to do my duty as a child of nature. ”
"It's all empty words, that child is not an ordinary half-demon, her father is ......" At this point, Arisina suddenly changed her face and looked back in the direction of Bunian.
Worried about being overheard, Link hurriedly let go of his senses, there was nothing abnormal around them, let alone people, not even a small animal in the forest. When Jafar was asked about Doyle's whereabouts, he was told that he had stayed in the carriage and had never left.
"What's wrong?" Why did Alysina's expression change dramatically when Doyle was still in the camp, and if there was any accident, why didn't she feel it at all, who was also a prophecy? Link was puzzled.
"Nothing...... Let's stop here. Inexplicable panic, a sudden instinct made Alysina realize that the topic could not continue. The words of the Child of Nature filled her heart with contradictions, the priesthood did not marry or have children, and dedicated everything to the god she believed in, and if it were not for the fact that the situation was so bad that she had to take that last step, she would never want to do anything to Doyle, who had been taking care of her own children.
"Can't let her meet Winnie. The two sides had their own opinions, and Link could only inform the High Priest of his premonition, "Although I don't know the specific situation yet, I have a hunch that you and I don't want to see the situation when things will unfold." ”
Alisina, who had already taken two steps, paused suddenly, "Is this a divine revelation given by the pillar?"
"Why won't you let me give it a try?" Link pleaded sincerely, "all she wants is the life of an ordinary person, a complete family, and a simple happiness of ordinary people." ”
"Fate doomed her to be no ordinary person. Alysina stepped forward again, leaving without looking back.
"Cut~ The old stubbornness who doesn't know how to be flexible. Looking at the back of the Great Priest in the distance, Link decided to go with his plan. Even if he can't change his fate in the end, at least, he has tried and tried, and even if he fails, he will not regret it. (To be continued.)
