Chapter 241: What is Lost and What Is Gained
The Nolans who survived back then have now become true avengers, and revenge on the Solan Cult is undoubtedly one of the important beliefs that support their lives today.
Therefore, Xingxi felt incomprehensible that Cheruth had clearly admitted his identity as a Nolan, and even had completely heard the origin of the hatred between the Nolans and the Solan Cult, but only used the sentence "I have no hatred for the Solan Cult".
Like a person who is regarded as the best friend and relative of a devout believer, but says something completely contrary to the dogma of his faith in front of that believer, after confirming that he has not misheard Cheruth's words, a sense of uncontrollable disbelief and betrayal arises in his heart, followed by a deep and uncontrollable anger.
"Why, why don't you hate!
Cheruth looked at Xingxi in embarrassment, she expected that Xingxi would have a strong emotional reaction after knowing her true thoughts, and she understood Xingxi's feeling as if she had been betrayed by herself, but she didn't know how to explain it to Xingxi specifically.
Actually, she's a time-traveling reborn from another world, and although I'm sorry, for her, everything about the Nolan tribe is the same as going on a business trip to a new company, and then failing to meet a person in the new company to participate in a project, and the company goes out of business. He expressed his deep sadness and sympathy for what happened to the Nolan clan, and strongly condemned the vile actions of the Solan Cult against the Nolan clan back then, but if she was allowed to join an outright revenge organization against the Cult because of this incident and sign a lifetime membership contract, it would be better to spare her......
...... If you explain it to Xingxi like this, I'm afraid that it will be regarded as a joke about such a serious thing as experiencing the blood and tears of a clan, and the Xingxi girl will be completely hated to the bone.
"Well, of course, I'm not saying that I don't feel anything about what happened back then, the Solan Cult did destroy the homes of our Nolan clan for no reason, slandered us as demon descendants, and even hunted us down for so many years, to be honest, I hate them a lot......"
"Then why are you ......?"
"Hate is hate, but I think my hate and hatred may not be the same," Cheruth shook her wolf ears, which was her habitual action when she felt complicated and troublesome, "I may avoid them as much as possible because I hate the Solan Cult, refuse to contact them, and may try my best to make trouble for them openly and secretly when I meet them, but this is not the same thing as attacking them by any means necessary in the name of revenge by really claiming to be their enemy...... Can you see what I mean?"
"I don't understand!" Xingxi looked at Cheruth with a slight red eye, "How can I understand the idea that the people of the Solan Sect destroyed our homeland for their own selfish desires, killing our kindred and relatives, and as a result, you only used the phrase 'hate is not hatred' to spare their crimes!"
"No, I didn't say let them go......"
"Almost all of the Nolans who survived that disaster lost their most precious relatives, lovers and friends in that disaster, and the murderer was the Solan Sect, do you think that the things we lost are not worth our arms to take up revenge for!
At this point, the emotional Xingxi suddenly thought that Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tias were still alive, and it seemed that none of Cheruth's relatives had died in that disaster......
Xingxi suddenly paused in the middle of her words, which surprised Cheruth, she didn't know what Xingxi was thinking with a tangled expression, but she was relieved that she didn't continue to be taught by the black straight girl.
“...... Xingxi, I know what you said, indeed, everyone in the Nolan clan who was lucky enough to survive must be the people who were robbed of the most precious things by the Solan Cult, so it is natural to want to take revenge on the Solan Cult. As for me, I was just a newborn child at that time, and I didn't remember anything...... I don't even remember what my biological parents looked like, but they must have been killed by the forbidden curse along with most of them......
No, no, Cheruth, your biological parents, they are still alive and well, they have been looking for you for 14 years......
Xingxi wanted to tell Cheruth, but she only moved her lips and didn't speak. Chelus didn't know that her biological parents were still alive, that is, the reason why she didn't have a deep hatred for the Solan Cult was not because she knew that her parents weren't dead, so her hatred faded...... So why exactly?
Determined to find out the real reason for Cheruth's refusal to take revenge, Starstream didn't interrupt Cheruth and let her continue.
“...... Even though I don't remember, I still feel that my biological parents are precious to me, so it is not wrong to say that the Solan Cult took away my most precious people, and I should probably hate them. However, these two generations ...... In the past 14 years of life, I have gradually understood a truth, that is, people will encounter more precious things in this life than they imagined. ”
With that, Chelus smiled at Xingxi in a way that Xingxi couldn't understand. Yes, Xingxi couldn't read it, she could feel that Cheruth's smile was full of the most sincere warmth and happiness, but she didn't know where these warmth and happiness came from.
"I was fortunate to be a kind-hearted and gentle ...... in the midst of that great tribulation that year The woman rescued me and then adopted me as homeless. Originally, only her biological daughter lived with her in her family except her, and she raised me as another real daughter, and her real daughter, like her mother, treated me as her own sister and protected me until now, I think she must be the best sister in the world.
"Later, I went out with my sister, and I met my adoptive mother's sister, a big sister who usually only pretends to be stupid but is actually very reliable, and I also met a kind ...... who is willing to have friends by her side to support her Noble girl, I met a strong and gentle chestnut-haired girl who was happy as long as she could live with important people, and I also met many other friends, and I created a lot of happy memories with them that made me wake up with a smile when I thought about it when I went to bed at night...... These are the most precious things for me now. ”
Cheruth smiled as she spoke, looking at the smile of the wolf girl, Xingxi unconsciously felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart...... She didn't lie, she smiled really happily, obviously she was the same person who lost everything 14 years ago, but why, at this moment, she felt that she was the only one who really lost everything, and the wolf-eared girl in front of her gained something better and more precious after losing everything.
There was a personal pain in her mouth, and Xingxi realized that she almost bit her lip. She knew she was envious...... I was actually envious.
Hearing Cheruth talk about the precious people she had met in the past 14 years, Xingxi realized that she was not "ungrateful to take some outsiders who have no blood relationship in such a serious way, but refuse to share the ups and downs with her clan as a Nolan, and take revenge on the Cult of God", but from the bottom of her heart, she envied Cheruth. What have they experienced in the past 14 years, in order to take revenge, they have tried their best to hide their identities in various places, to confront the local forces that have been robbed of the cake of power, and to hunt down the Solan Divine Cult, and there is no one who can trust and get close to them except for their own clan...... If they also gave up revenge, would they live so well like Cheruth, reaping so many happy memories and precious bonds?
...... No, even so, they can't give up revenge...... The happiness of the Nolan clan was destroyed in the meteor rain 14 years ago, and they are now just a group of people who are carrying the thoughts and regrets of those dead people to live in this world, and the purpose of their life is to correct the name of the Nolan clan, so that the people of the whole continent know that the Nolan clan is not a descendant of demons but a descendant of God; 。
Xingxi closed her eyes, among the survivors of the Nolan clan, she was the youngest except for the exiled Cheruth, who had just experienced the awakening of the "God-given Trace" that year. She was luckier than Cheruth, she had already remembered the disaster and could vaguely remember what her parents and grandmother looked like, and she was also less fortunate than Cheruth, whose family died in the meteor storm except for her.
Since then, she has vowed to devote her life to revenge against the Cult of Solan. Two years after the disaster, at the age of five, she ignored the advice of the people who had been taking care of her, and begged the Great Elder to let her go with Ali Ali and Egger to ******. In order to expand the power of the mercenary group, he did not hesitate to use all legitimate or despicable means to snatch resources and talents from other mercenary groups, killed bad people, and persecuted good people. Xingxi has long known that for himself and the avengers, even the small happiness of ordinary people cannot be enjoyed again, and they are not qualified to enjoy it again.
Enlightenment has already been done.
“...... So, are you unwilling to take revenge for the sake of your current life?"
