"What is fate, and what is the favor of fate?" William asked.

"This question doesn't seem easy to answer, but I also have a question, you know how to kill the great heroes who are destined to do great things."

Liam asked rhetorically, William savored the words, the subtext of the question is that anyone can die, anyone can die.

Hercules is dead, Achilles is dead, the immortal Diarmuid is dead, Finn is dead, and King Arthur can only rest forever in Avalon, they have all been brilliant, and they have either fallen silent or they are all dead.

Only Hercules escaped death because he became a god, and King Arthur fell into an eternal slumber because of Avalon.

"Strangle him before they grow!" William thought for a moment and said, any big hero may be highly anticipated when they are born, but they have not yet established their own merits and proved their abilities, and they are still insignificant.

For example, before King Arthur drew the Sword in the Stone, he was only King Uther's illegitimate son, an insignificant knight's squire, but once he pulled out the Sword in the Stone, he immediately became the king of Britain.

Arthur is still the same Arthur, just before he draws his sword and after he pulls out his sword, the former is a knight's squire, the latter is a king, and the person has not changed, but the difference after a moment is like mud.

Liam shook his head, "Wrong, what you do will only make the other party stronger and stronger, and will only continue to sharpen the other party, the real right way is to help him complete his mission, let him achieve his own glory, and after the glory, it will inevitably decline, Finn is like this, King Arthur is like this, and the great heroes in history are all like this." ”

"As long as the era of great heroes has passed, then heroes will also become obsolete, and heroes who are mortals are no longer enough to bear the favor of fate. The fate of this era calls for the advent of heroes, the advent of heroes will bring glory to this era, the wisdom and courage of heroes can not only set things right in the chaotic era, but also become the savior of this era, or God will lead heroes to glory in this era. ”

William understood what Liam meant, if fate or God allows a hero to complete his mission, then he will inevitably be favored by fate before the mission is completed, and fate will prompt the hero to complete his destiny, and once the mission is completed, fate's favor for the hero will be weakened.

Both Finn and King Arthur were smooth sailing when they fulfilled the mission given by the era (fate), leaving behind many legendary stories.

It's just that fate never gives more than just one person.

The slow decline of an era from its peak state means that a new era has begun to be conceived, and the birth of a new era means the decline of the old era, and when the heroes of the new era are about to appear, all the heroes of the old era can leave.

In the Arthurian legend, the love affair between Lancelot and Queen Gnevel, and the elopement between Diarmuid and Princess Granny in the Finn story all symbolize the protagonist of the legendary story, the absolute child of destiny has fallen into decline, and aging has made the heroes lose not only strength, but also the favor of fate and the hero's heart that they originally worshipped.

"Killing a child of destiny is nothing more than letting him complete his mission, and then guiding the other party into his predetermined destiny trajectory, which is death." Liam's smile was cold, and William was a little creepy at the words.

He himself is also one of the favorers of fate, although he is still young now, and the favor of fate is strong, but sooner or later he will encounter the same fate as his predecessors.

"Then is there a way for the hero to escape this predetermined fate." William asked.

"If I knew how to break fate, I wouldn't have told you so much." Liam shook his head, clenched his shield and spoke, "Fate cannot be avoided, because the fate of people has been determined at the moment of birth, so whether it is dying on the battlefield or dying in an accident, I can't get rid of the established fate, I was supposed to die on the battlefield of the decisive battle with the Gaelids, but I escaped from the battle, I changed my fate, but this is just a delay, my fate will meet me sooner or later." ”

But if a hero can be cautious, can stand upright, and can exercise restraint in his actions, then can he avoid this fate and die right? For example, I became King Arthur, or Finn or Lancelot and Diarmuid, and I knew what was going to happen in the future, and before the terrible future happened, would the future of doom change? ”

William's confusion as to whether the future would have changed if many heroes in the saga had heeded the advice of his wife, Princess Grannie, and brought his own powerful weapons before hunting wild boars.

"It's impossible, William, heroes are also mortals, they will grow old and faint, when they are young, they are full of heroism, and when they are old, they will expose their weaknesses, such as Finn, who hates the young and handsome Diarmuid, and is full of anger and jealousy for his rival, even his grandson Oscar can't make him change his mind, Finn is no longer the great hero who defeated the gods in the past, you can't guarantee that you are an unpredictable prophet, and the choices and actions you make will always be perfect."

Liam shook his head, shaking his head disapprovingly at William's thoughts, even if you have done everything you have done perfectly, but sometimes fate is not in your hands, but in the hands of others.

Finn can save Diarmuid, but Finn doesn't intend to forgive himself as a rival in love, so he catches water three times, spills it twice, and makes up his mind for the last time, but it is too late, Finn buries Diarmuid's fate, and at the same time indirectly buries his own fate.

"Liam, you didn't say you can't, that is to say, as long as you can fight against fate through your wisdom and strength, it is possible to surpass fate." William asked.

"Yes, under certain conditions, in a certain local scope, it is possible to transcend fate only by virtue of human wisdom, strength and courage, whether it is the spinning thread of fate or the web of fate, this is already a miracle, and the hero at this stage is like a god, this is the third order." Liam replied.

"The present, the past, and the future, the three goddesses Nolan symbolize the past, present, and future, what you have done in the past, what you do now, and what you will do in the future to determine your own destiny. The evil dragon is now a saint who resembles a god, and his personality is close to that of the canonized saint of the Church, and he is very close to the fourth order, and the target of the evil dragon is not the king, but the emperor who symbolizes the fifth order, and once he succeeds, it will be a great disaster for Ireland, for the Celtic gods, and even for the whole world. ”

"What do the third, fourth, and fifth orders represent?" William asked with a numb scalp.

"The first order is to obtain extraordinary power and break through the upper limit of the strength of the human race, such as you who have obtained the holy seal. The second order is legendary, which means that human beings have accomplished their own impossible feats and are remembered by history, such as me and Francis. In the Christian system, the saints who are able to perform miracles because of their beliefs and familiarity with the doctrines, such as the evil dragon, are the third order. ”

Liam paused for a moment, then continued, "The fourth order is the king, which symbolizes the realm, the king is the kingdom that owns, and the fourth order means having his own kingdom, which is the king in the human world, and the third order that has a person in the case of gods and spirits. The third is sacred, so the Lord and Patriarch of the Celtic gods and the goddess of love Oungus constitute the sacred family of three, the Irish goddess of sovereignty is three, the Christian God is the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Irish goddess of war is three, and the goddess of fate is also three. Three means person, symbolizing position, like the throne, which can only be occupied by three people in a trinity. ”

"The promotion of the third needs to occupy the person, but the vacant seat of the world tree has already been occupied by people, if you can't create it yourself, then you can only kick the person above the person down, and then sit on it yourself. King Arthur was the fourth order, because the legitimacy of the British royal power was always traced back to him, and Morgan Le Fay was also the fourth order, because the multiples of three were nine, and there could only be nine witches in Celtic mythology, and she was one of them. ”

"The fifth order, symbolizing the emperor, owns the empire, the whole world, the person is equivalent to the demigods, and the gods of the past are all the fifth order, which is the limit of the material world."

William listened in amazement as Liam told the full hierarchy chart and the secret of his promotion, if it weren't for Liam's fate, he would never have said it so easily.

"But both emperors and kings are mortal mortals, old, sick, weak, wounded and bleeding. How can it be compared with saints and gods. William asked.

"It's not the emperor's fault that the weak and limited life is not the emperor's or king's fault, the artifact is too expensive, it's not the artifact's fault, it's your own mortal. The kings of the Greek era were all sons and grandsons of Zeus, and as demigods had a long life and great power, in the era of Irish mythology, kings were able to marry goddesses as wives. ”

Liam paused for a moment, looked at William and said, "Fate favors both humans and gods. The difference is that they have different shares with each other, the gods are part of the world and possess immortality, and the emperor and king rule over the earth and the people on the earth and have their own kingdom, and the earth is also immortal. ”

In ancient Greek, the basic meaning of "fate" was "share". Everyone's share is predestined, this is fate; In other words, when a person is born, the goddess of fate is rubbing the thread for him, and the length of the thread is predestined. The same is true of the three Germanic goddesses Noren, but the gods are the distributors of fate, and if you fear the gods and obey the gods, and if you please them, you can correspond to the favor of the gods, and get the favor of fate because of the gods, and on the contrary, it is a disaster. ”

"Where does the fate of the gods come from, of course, it comes from being a part of the world, from their own share, in Greek mythology Zeus, Poseidon, Hades divided the world into three parts of the sky, the sea, and the underworld to rule, and the emperor and the king, from the domination of the world, even if this reign is short-lived, it means the same share."

"If the dragon rules the world and does not die, then what is the difference between him and Zeus, Odin, or even Jesus."
