Chapter 90: Megan's Friends (Part II)
That's a hard question to answer, humans tend to learn to grow from the dark side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So can you tell us what evil is?"
"The evil is that they came to us and brutally killed the animals, so scared that the villagers fled the village. As Alger answered, he found that he didn't seem to have the confidence to say these words as before.
Light and darkness, good and evil, have always been twin brothers, they depend on each other, and without one of them, the other half would not exist. When our sword is slashed at the enemy in the name of righteousness, then our righteous name must also be the source of evil in the eyes of the enemy. It's as if when we're eating a steak, the soul of the dead cow must be cursing us demons. Alger, imagine if one day, when the absolute light you hope for comes, you lose the comparison in your heart, then how bright will the light be to be bright? If it were not for those thieves, liars, and scoundrels, how could we be sure that we were kinder than others? If it were not for the evil of these goblins, how could you dare to say that you were on the side of justice with your teacher?"
Megan looked at his confused eyes and sighed, gently stroked his hair and said, "Child, don't hesitate because of my words, stick to your faith, people without faith can't go to the top of the mountain." But don't let the clouds and mist in the mountains obscure your vision, change the mountain peak, maybe you can see a different world. ”
After Meghan finished speaking, she got up and dragged the big bag outside.
"Mr. Mage, where are you going to send them?" Alger chased after him.
"Of course it's where they should go. Megan threw away the cigarette butt and replied.
"So...... Can you take me to see it?" asked Alger in a trembling voice.
Megan looked back at this sincere, lovable child and thought for a long time. "It's going to be far away, it's going to be dangerous, don't you need to ask your mom and dad for their opinions?"
Young Alger's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "I'll go home and ask, teacher!" After speaking, he raised his little short legs and ran home.
Since then, Meghan has taken the student on an "exorcism" journey, from Uwang to the Duchy of Dorangal, then out to sea by boat, around Dolphin Bay, through the Billhouse Islands, landing in the barbaric and barren Nateks, crossing the endless Gobi no man's land, and finally entering the civilized country again, coming to the great Garente, following the famous Golden Silk Merchant Road all the way north, and finally reaching their end point, the bottomless Grand Canyon on the edge of the Luoshen Mountains.
During the trip, which lasted three years, Meghan took Alger to see the beautiful alpine gardens, admire the magnificent glacier rivers, enjoy different cuisines, live in luxurious courtyards, visit princes and merchants, and receive blessings from priests. Of course, they have also fallen off cliffs, wandered in stormy waves, eaten dry tree bark, slept in the suburbs of the mountains, gave alms to beggars on the streets, and encountered ferocious monsters and robbers. Three years later, Megan has two more wrinkles on her face, and Alger has seen all the good and evil in the world, he has learned to use the Great Blessing Technique to purify the souls of demons, and he has also learned to use holy light bullets to heal dying warriors, and when they throw the demons they have collected all the way into the abyss, the eighteen-year-old Alger finally understands that the endless darkness is the light of those creatures.
Megan sent the upgrown Alger to Jonah College for further study, and then disappeared like smoke into Alger's life, never to be heard from again. At the age of twenty-two, when Alger walked out of Jonah College, the Archbishop of the Imperial Capital personally greeted him at the Academy, baptized him, and conferred the title of "Saint of Light" in the name of the Pope.
Megan should be regarded as Alger's enlightenment teacher in life, so Bishop Alger's feelings for Meghan are deep and sincere, and he happily accompanies the teacher to reminisce about that unforgettable experience, but when talking about Meghan's experience after the two people separated, the high priest laughed and did not answer.
Bishop Alger gave Meghan a warm hospitality, and Liang Ke was invited to taste the "Holy Feast" that is said to be enjoyed only by saints, yes, it is indeed a holy feast. All the cooks, cooks, attendants, and even butchers involved in the preparation of the feast are devout devotees, and before the livestock are slaughtered and the vegetables are left the soil, they must be illuminated with "holy light" to ensure that the ingredients always exude a warm and sacred scent. The utensils used for the feast were also blessed with the permanent "Hand of Tyria", a kind of magic that can keep items from bacteria forever, and the magic of the archmage was used to wash the dishes, which Liang Ke felt was a waste. During the whole meal, the choir of the choir sang beautiful chants softly, and this kind of singing can really make the diners eat a cow in a good mood, so Liang Ke felt that he was not ashamed to kill a whole aromatherapy deer leg.
Lunch lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, Megan offered to let Alger accompany him to see the Lake of Tears again, Bishop Alger readily agreed, personally helped Meghan High Priest to get into the ox cart, and got into it himself, although Liang Ke has the responsibility of supervision, but the teachers and students have a deep affection, and it is not good for him to get into the car to stare at people and chat, so he can only summon Sanduo out and follow him slowly.
"Alger!"
"Teacher!"
"After all these years, you're still here. If you're willing to leave, you may already have a place in that temple. Megan opened the corner of the curtain, looked out the window at Liang Ke, who was sitting on Sanduo's back, and then wiped the corner of her eyes and said.
"Hehe, maybe, but I think it's more reassuring for me to stay here myself. ”
"Do you still think those guys will come back from there?"
"I thought so more than a decade ago, but now I'm more worried about someone going to them. ”
"Oh, what's going on?"
"Teacher, you have been in the barren north all year round, and you probably don't know much about what is happening in the human kingdom. Human greed and depravity are like a thicker and thicker haze that slowly obscures the brilliance of God. Those hateful nobles began to secretly buy rare witches to use as playthings in the bed, and some of the demon creatures were also kept as pets in cages for their children to play with and enjoy. With the lure of high profits, there are people who venture there, people who come back alive and bring back prey, and many more people follow suit. Over the years, I have stopped many people and allowed many demons to return to their homes, but this kind of thing is increasing, and I can't support it alone, and I sometimes feel very lonely and helpless. Alger wiped the spring mud off his toes, and pinched his slightly numb calves with his hands, his face full of exhaustion.
Megan's dim eyes looked at her student, and she slowly reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder. "Dear Alger, I can feel your worries, but even God's worries sometimes happen. When you do your best, why not stand on the top of the mountain and see what will happen in this world, maybe God's arrangement is not so bad. ”
Alger looked up at his teacher, his eyes obscured by a layer of gray, and he was no longer as wise as he had been, and he could not read his thoughts from his teacher's gaze. Alger was a little disappointed, frowned and asked, "Teacher, you must not be ready to stand aside and watch when you come here, right?"
The ox cart creaked over a shallow pit, and the body shook slightly, and Alger reached out to support Master Megan, and turned to sit next to the teacher.
"You see, I'm getting old, isn't I! I can't sit on the sidelines because I've always been in this game, and I have a mission that I have to accomplish before I go to meet the true God. Megan took Alger's hand, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "Alger, do you still trust your teacher as much as you did back then?"
Alger was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation: "Yes, I have never doubted your words, and I will not in the future." ”
"That's fine. Hopefully, on that day, you'll be standing with your teacher. Megan patted the back of Alger's hand. "Now, take me to see the lake! I haven't been here in years, and I really miss it. You see, when people get old, they always miss the old. Hehehe!"
Master Megan's ox cart was parked under the west city wall, Alger and Fricks helped Megan along the road to the city, Liang Ke was not in the mood to accompany the pair of teachers and students to watch the scenery, led Piedro and Tucker, pulled the coachman into a tavern on the side of the street, asked for a few glasses of ale, and watched the bustling people on the street gossip.
As soon as Liang Ke's lips touched a little ale, the people who walked in at the door attracted his attention, it was really a beautiful couple, and the moment they walked into the tavern, it was much quieter.
The girl who walked in front was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a straight and straight figure, a pure white fox fur looked noble and holy, a snow-white hood pressed a slightly curved thin eyebrows, a pair of large eyes with deep sockets shining, as if a jewel in the blue ocean, and a slightly upturned jaw made her show a kind of coldness in addition to beauty. The other girl behind her was very different from her elegant and arrogant style, she was slightly shorter, her long brown hair was softly draped behind her head, her snow-white skin was crystal clear, as warm as precious jade, and her dark brown eyes were always a little sad, so that everyone who saw her could not help but feel pity. The most incomprehensible thing is that such a resentful girl has a proud body, the tight leather coat on the chest can't hide her pair of tall breasts like mountain peaks, and the plump buttocks under the smooth lower abdomen support the thick long skirt tightly, making people worry that the two skirts will be torn apart at any time.
