Chapter 121: Balance
"Is it okay?" Eve was a little unresponsive when she heard this answer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although both Lance and Veronica say that it is possible that the demons are not kidnappers. But in Eve's heart, he had already decided that the demons were inseparable.
General Joseph put down the leg of mutton in his hand and said suspiciously: "Brother Lance, are you sure? ”
"It's just a letter written in a magic word. Looking at everyone's disbelieving eyes, Lance explained, "If the information here is not fake, then the disappearance of the princess really has nothing to do with them." ”
Princess Eve asked, "How so?"
Lance exhaled helplessly and said: "The intelligence shows that the orders given by the demons to the servant army are all around how to uproot the military power of Menice, and there is nothing abnormal in the demon army on the side of Sekeo and Hand. ”
"Could it be that the level of intelligence here is not enough?
"It's not. Lance continued: "Where there is a major operation, there will be absolutely clues in terms of supplies, troop deployments, border posts, and military operations. But at least for the past two weeks, there has been no change in the demons in Sekeo and Hand. Border disturbances, outposts, supplies, and personnel exchanges are all fixed. I also made a point to check the deployment of troops a month ago, and they were all fixed characteristics. There is nothing out of the ordinary. Think about it, if you were going to kidnap the princess, would you continue to harass the border during the weeks of the kidnapping? This is definitely not what such a major operation as the kidnapping of the princess should be. So, we came in vain. ”
The big-nosed George asked, "Could it be that the army of the demon clan disturbed the border and accidentally kidnapped the princess?"
Lance said helplessly: "How is it possible, if this is the case, then how can we explain this long-planned demon letter?
In this way, it makes sense. General Joseph nodded: "Who could it be?"
Lance looked meaningfully at Princess Eve and said, "There's only one possibility." ”
"Duke of Eagle Gang, that old bastard!" Eve stood up angrily and scolded, "See if I don't take Eagle Gang City myself, I will abolish him." It's okay to be right on the surface, since you are doing this obscene thing behind your back. I'll go back to Idiris, tomorrow, and raise an army to fight against the Principality of Eagle Gang!"
"My Royal Highness, don't get excited. Lance hurriedly persuaded Eve to calm the princess general's anger:
"Don't you think it's too hasty for you to destroy a country just by my words? ”
But now Eve's eyes welled up with rage: "Hmph, what more evidence do you need?" If it's not a demon, that's just that old bastard. This time, we will count the old and new hatreds together. Wait until you catch him, and see if I don't give this old donkey to the gelding!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, does this old donkey still use geldings? Even if you give him a woman, it won't be useful for him. ”
“...... You, Lance, what are you talking about......" Eve's face turned red when she heard this.
"Haha, Eve. Calm down. Lance patted Eve on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You raised troops so hastily, and you ended up with no name." It's better for us to wait for the news of Duke Alvin first, and when we get the evidence, even if you make him an all-donkey banquet, no one will care about you. ”
"Oh well. Let's go back now?"
"Of course you ordered it, my Royal Highness Princess Eve. ”
"Okay, let's go. Return the way you came. ”
With that, Lance and Eve followed the path back.
When Lance and the others returned to the Moonlight Path, there were no remnants of the former battlefield. It's as if everything about Sarustina, the Weaver of Fear, is gone.
Let them re-enter the canyon, Lance couldn't help but look back, forgetting that the Metuk Demon Domain, which was gradually blocked by two towering cliffs, had an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
Lance sighed, turned his head and continued walking, "Ronnie, what do you say is the meaning of Salustina's existence?"
"Huh?" Roxani, who was on Lance's shoulder, tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, nasty?"
"You said she's been living here for so long, probably for decades. And we came and killed her with a single sword. Erased everything she existed, as if she had never appeared. Why do I feel a little pity for her?"
Loxani hurriedly touched Lance's forehead with his paw and said, "You don't have a fever, what kind of wind are you smoking?"
"Don't make a fuss. Lance pulled away from Loxani's little paw and said, "I was going to talk to you very seriously, but it turned out to be you." Forget it, don't talk about it, you better eat, drink and sleep well. ”
"No, I'll just kid......" Roxani hurriedly explained, "Nasty, don't be angry. Actually, it's magic. Come and go. Do you know why Venian, the god of all things, is worshipped more than any other god?"
Lance shook his head in confusion.
Loxani looked up at the sky. At this time, the previous dark clouds had receded, and the stars in the sky began to escape from the dark clouds and emit their own brilliant starlight.
"Your doubts are like the stars and the earth. ”
Lance also raised his head and looked at the starry sky in the sky: "What do you mean, I don't quite understand." ”
Loxani smiled and said:
"What the other gods have given us is always the beautiful starlight that we can only look up to, but cannot reach. Such as truth, justice, peace. It seems beautiful, but it is a state that human beings can never reach. After all, where there is truth, there is falsehood, where there is justice, there is evil, and where there is peace, there is war. It's all balanced and always conserved, and when they lose these opposites, how do these so-called goodness manifest themselves?"
"I seem to understand a little, you mean, because of Salustina's evil, I will become good, so I will feel pity?"
"Yes. Loxani smiled with satisfaction, "Nasty, you really know a little bit." It's a shame that you don't do our White Wing Dragon Clan. You are now at the beginning of your understanding of the balance of the world. In fact, you will find that human beings can never become all good and beautiful, but they cannot all become evil and ugly. This is true not only of these attributes, but of every attribute in the world. They are just in dynamic equilibrium. So, in fact, all the virtues that human beings pursue are vain illusions, and if you want to fall completely, there is only one way to destroy yourself. Except for the gods, no living creature can ever attain the highest good, nor can it attain the highest evil. ”
"I see, what does that have to do with worshipping the god Venian?"
"It's a big deal. Roxani said, "We can't touch the starry sky, but how do we see it?"
Lance looked at himself, thought about Loxani's words, and suddenly realized: "You mean stepping on the earth and looking up at the starry sky?"
"Yes. Loxani nodded and said, "The god Venian created the material world, the real world. Although we do not feel the protection of the god of truth El, the goddess of justice Flobelga. But we feel the gift of Venian all the time. Every inch of land, every inch of rivers, every inch of flowers and plants. Whether you are eating or playing, you can't do without Venian. So instead of following those gods who are full of empty ideals, pursuing an unrealistic spiritual world. Why not pray and thank Venian and diligently exploit and use all that She has given us?"
"I see. ”
Loxani nodded and said, "In addition, magic, which is not a thing created by the god Venian, naturally cannot exist in the material plane for a long time, and Sarustina, as a pure magical creature, was not killed by you. It's just back to the Sophia plane she's supposed to be back to. Just a little gift for you. So you don't have to have pity for her, but thank her for letting you know that you have the power of a demigod. ”
Lance also smiled at this time: "Also, although I don't know what I can do as a demigod, but at least let me know that I am a little special." ”
"I don't know the specifics of the demigods. But I know that every appearance of a demigod is the will of the gods. This shows that you have a mission on your back. "We must find the prophets and sages to know your mission." Now our best bet is ......"
"Michrington!" said Lance and Roxani in unison.
The time of carefree chatting always flies, and soon Eve, who is at the front of the line, shouts, "We're coming out!" ”
When Lance walked out of the narrow valley and saw the suddenly open scenery in front of him, Lance's heart was also much soothed.
