Chapter 361: The Perfect Chess Piece

readx;

Han Jin has the advantage of not showing the mountains and waters, that is, he is very good at reading, and he also has an excellent memory, I think he has firmly memorized the entire Daozang in a few years, not to mention anything else, the Liuding Liujia technique alone is divided into two volumes, which record nearly a thousand recipes, mudras and talismans, compared with the Daozang, the books in this secret library are much simpler.

Moreover, most of the stories recorded here are paragraphs of stories, but Han Jin can do ten lines at a glance, and only when he sees the comments left by Solomon, he will slow down his reading, or put down the book and think for a while, and then continue reading.

No one can despise words, just a few hundred words can condense the grievances of thousands of living beings, or state a heinous brutality, which records all the history from the century of the gods to the present day.

Sometimes, Han Jin felt suffocated, and sometimes, he felt like he was pressing a thousand pounds of boulder in his heart, sinking and painful, and sometimes, he even wanted to shoot the case and forcibly break into the picture to change the tragedy, Han Jin saw countless struggles, loyalty and betrayal, rationality and barbarism, glory and despicability, love and greed, he finally understood Solomon's words, without enough weight, he could not bear the vicissitudes of history.

Solomon's view is very strange, even in the face of an extremely brutal monarch, he will not judge by right or wrong, but put forward a word, caste! Solomon believes that every life, every race, and even every civilization has its own unique, difficult to change, and complex caste. If you can grasp their caste, then, if you can't do things like gods, at least you can see where they are going.

Solomon also said that every life is born with a very simple caste, and that what he will become in the future depends entirely on circumstances. Experience and even cultural influence, for example, the abyss demon clan has always been known for its brutality and ferocity, that is because every demon takes slaughter as fun, the little devil is exposed to it in life, it is easy to integrate and recognize this atmosphere, if he can destroy the demon pool, cut off the bond between the god of death Hamas and the demon clan, and then kill all the abyss demons, leaving only a newborn little demon, what will he become? Perhaps, he still has a violent factor in his blood, but it can be induced by environment and culture to make the little devil become a fighter who fights for justice!

Therefore, Solomon believes that a monarch is very cruel and cannot be evaluated by right and wrong, and if it must be said to be wrong, it is not his fault alone, but the fault of the environment and civilization.

In a book "Twilight of the Continent", Han Jin saw that familiar story again, he had heard Seniel tell many times before, when the war was about to be completely won, the leader of the dwarf race, Dandin the king of the hills, invited the god of war Arrabethham and the elven messenger Doreen to a banquet, and attacked and killed Arraboham and Doreen on the spot at the banquet, and later the paladin Gotha led the army into the dwarf country in order to avenge his comrades, and after killing Dantin, he disappeared.

All those who know that history believe that Danding raised the butcher's knife to his former comrades in order to fight for the dominance of the continent, but Solomon said that even if Danding was a leader with no ambitions, this tragedy would still inevitably happen, but at different times and in different ways, all because of the dwarven caste.

The dwarves have some contradictions, in comparison, they are kind, but the surnames are more rough, they like to use extreme ways to solve injustices and contradictions, but they are not willing to communicate with other beings in language, of course, they are not good at this kind of communication.

The dwarves are short and stout, not aesthetically pleasing, and they don't like to groom themselves, and they are unkempt all day long, which makes their already unbearable image discounted, and they are short-tempered and hot-tempered, which makes the dwarves suffer a kind of discrimination in a broad sense. In fact, it is easy to understand, if you have a neighbor who is ugly and unhygienic, every time you pass by, you will smell the stench, you will be short-tempered, you will jump and scold people at every turn, and even pick up a brick to beat people, will you like it? Absolutely not!

Solomon listed the topics of the First Continental Congress, in the process of redistributing the interests after the war, humans and elves gained most of the benefits, but not much was left for the dwarves, although Abraham is a human, but he and Doreen really love each other, he also likes the elves, it is under his protection, as well as Doreen's own efforts, the elves have shown a thriving situation. Perhaps, at that time, Abraham knew that there was some injustice to the dwarves, but he had no other way, the cake was so big, he wanted to fight for more for the elves, so he could only start from the side of the dwarves, if he wanted to give the interests of the human race to the dwarves, he would be scolded by the humans. Solomon also speculated that Abraham and Doreen went to Dandin's banquet, or it was possible to resolve the conflict, with Abrabraham's status as the leader of the continent at that time, there was almost no escort, there was a taste of artificiality in this, why was it contrived? Of course, it was to show his closeness and trust in Dandin, but unfortunately, he had not really seen through the dwarf race.

The dwarves also paid a huge sacrifice for the war, of course they were dissatisfied, in the more than ten days of the meeting, the dwarf representatives often did, is to thunder, slap the table, curse, or simply leave, they are not arguing, not to persuade, but to vent their anger in a childlike way, but the more they do this, the more disgusted the representatives of the human and elven races, and the tone of rebuttal is becoming more and more mean, according to the dwarf caste, when this anger accumulates to a certain extent, it must choose an extreme way, so, tragedy happened。

Speaking of the paladin Gotha, Solomon's text appears very cautious, saying that Gotha is either a respectable man or a terrible man, that is, Solomon cannot see through it. He also said that maybe Gotha was also a little dissatisfied with Abrabraham, because Alabham was too accommodating to the elves, and the elves got too much, which should have belonged to humans, in fact, after Gotha disappeared, the second meeting of the continent completely overthrew the principles of the first meeting, and the dwarves lost their qualifications, and humans monopolized most of the interests, which also laid the most important foundation for humans to become the overlord of the continent. In line with the principle that whoever benefits is the mastermind, Solomon believes that it is possible that Gotha may have deliberately contributed to the tragedy.

The same tragedy, listening to Shaniel's narration, and reading Solomon's comments, brought Han Jin a completely different feeling, before he only saw the heroism of Abrabraham, Doreen's loyalty, Gotha's affection, and Dantin's cruelty and tyranny, but now, he has seen a lot.

After saying that Han Jin had been absorbing the nutrients from the books wholeheartedly, he had even forgotten his daily cultivation, he was sleepy, he gave himself a Huiyuan Qingshen mantra, when he was hungry, there was food sent by Yalina herself, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he washed up briefly, slept for a while, and then got up and continued to read.

He used to be able to see, hear, and think, but it was a taste that knew what was going on but didn't know why, he could see the bushes but not the shadows, he could see the faces of people but not behind them, and now a hand pulled him up and lifted him up into the air, so that he could look down on the whole world, big and small, all at a glance. Han Jin knew very well that when he precipitated, fermented, and finally turned all the nutrients he absorbed into something truly his own, he would become a completely different person.

He understood that what Solomon really wanted to do was to be a pure scholar, but this chaotic continent forced Solomon to have no choice but to embark on the road of hegemony, because a scholar who was not even guaranteed to live had no meaning in existence.

Arina often came to see Han Jin, and she was very happy at first to see Han Jin so attentive, but then she became more and more surprised, she also read the books here, and she didn't find it very interesting, compared to her, she preferred to look to the future, or go to the laboratory to explore unknown secrets.

With Arina's experience, of course, I don't understand, if I can't even grasp the past, how can I talk about the perfect future?!

There is not only one Arina who is naΓ―ve, her eldest brother Jared and second brother Edison also don't understand this truth, which has nothing to do with character.

Day by day, Han Jin had already read all the books, however, he picked out dozens of books that he couldn't understand for the time being, or needed to deepen his understanding, and put them on the desk, and he wanted to read them carefully.

A few more days passed, and there were fewer and fewer books in front of Han Jin, and finally, the last book closed in his hand, and Han Jin was silent for a long time, in fact, he had not changed much compared to when he first entered the study, but there were a few bloodshots in the corners of his eyes, but he clearly felt that he was different.

Standing up slowly, Han Jin glanced around with a worshipful gaze, and then walked slowly towards the stairs.

Walking up the spiral staircase, the door of the dark room was still open, as if it had been open for a long time, and after a long wait, the sun was shining outside, and Solomon sat in the clear window, the oblique light, and his body was shrouded in a halo of light.

Hearing Han Jin's footsteps, Solomon didn't even raise his head, but only asked softly, "How much have you seen?"

"I've read it all. Han Jin replied with a smile.

Solomon was turning the pages when his movements were visibly interrupted: "Finished?"

"Yes. Han Jin pondered for a moment: "But...... I'm going to need some time to think about it. ”

Solomon didn't speak again, his habits were no different from the rumors outside, he only liked to read, and Han Jin didn't speak, he slowly walked to the window, gently pushed the window open, and a chilling air rushed in, Han Jin took a deep breath and stared out the window.

The atmosphere in the house is quiet, and many times, the language is really superfluous and a little pale.

After a long while, Han Jin opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, how many days have passed?"

"Forty-two days. Solomon smiled, "Do you want to go back to the Holy Crown City right away or stay here for a few more days?"

"Stay a few more days, Arlina will rarely come back, she and I will be very busy this year, I should not be able to spare time. Han Jin's gaze turned back to the window, and said softly: "Forty-two days, winter is about to pass......" There is another sentence he didn't say, spring is coming, the question is, will this spring belong to him?!

"By the way, to tell you a piece of news, Xia Zuo, the elder of the Dragon Domain, passed through the Hamaraplain half a month ago, and his target should be Cold Cinema City, but ...... He'll be back sooner or later, do you need to find a way for you to meet him?" said Solomon.

"Dragon Domain?" Han Jin was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, I have paid too much to meet him now, so let them take the initiative to come to me." ”

"Your affairs should be up to you, and I don't interfere. Solomon said lightly: "But I want to remind you that if you miss this opportunity, you will have no room for regret in the future." ”

"Are you...... Deliberately inducing me, trying to make me make a mistake?"

Solomon raised his head, after Han Jin walked out of the secret door, he looked at Han Jin for the first time, but his eyes were full of smiles: "I really don't regret it?"

"They're going to come to me anyway, aren't they?"

Solomon was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, they will come to you, but it is not up to you to decide, nor is it up to me, on the day Dragon City breaks with Dragon Domain, everything has already been decided." ”

"I know. Han Jin replied softly.

"You've got your own opinions and judgments, and that's good. Solomon suddenly put down the book and slowly stood up: "I won't give you advice on other things, you should understand it yourself, but ...... There is one person, and I suggest that you get rid of him as soon as you find him. ”

"Who?" Han Jin asked in surprise.

"His name is Adolf, and if nothing else, he should rush to the Holy Crown City this year. ”

He ...... What kind of person is it?"

"It's a bit difficult to answer your words. Solomon said softly, "The angle is different, and of course the feeling will not be the same." In the eyes of many people, he is an upright believer with strong faith, but for us, he is very, very dangerous, hehe...... Raphael, don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning his character, in fact he is impeccable in this regard, and the point is that his appearance will inevitably destabilize the Holy Crown City. ”

"Believer, he is ......"

"Yes, he is from the Holy See. Solomon thought for a moment: "His status is somewhat special, although he never interferes in the affairs of the Holy See, he has great authority, and at critical moments, he can even depose the Pope." ”

"I've never heard Jaydis talk about such a person. Han Jin said in surprise.

"Jaydis may not have been born when Adolphus left the Holy See, and he hadn't been seen publicly for decades, and had been traveling around the continent, and by coincidence I met him more than ten years ago. Solomon said slowly, "He's an ascetic, you know...... In order to make himself more resilient, did he use any methods to hone himself?"

"What's the solution?"

"Pain! all kinds, endless pains!" said Solomon, narrowing his eyes, as if in memory of something: "Ever since he became an ascetic, he has never eaten fireworks, never sheltered from the wind and snow, never even lay down to rest, you know? ”

Han Jinjing listened, and did not interject, he was no stranger to this kind of person, he had heard Master say before that there was a group of ascetics in India, who awakened the potential of the body through a method that was almost self-harming, of course, in Master's mouth, that kind of cultivation was close to the Demon Dao.

"That time...... I was very impressed, and I can also say that he gave me some inspiration, hehe...... His eyes are very young, and although he has gone through countless tribulations, his zest for life has not been extinguished, and I admire him, but it is a pity that ...... We are two completely different people from him, completely different. Solomon's gaze slowly turned to Han Jin, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood. ”

"Tell me, then, what is the difference between us and him?"

"Your faith is to live your own life and establish your own laws. Han Jin spoke very slowly, thinking as he spoke: "For example, as you said at the time, we have a game of chess in front of us, and what you want to do is to simply overturn the chessboard and stop playing it...... Come and stop me, without the chessboard, his existence is worthless. ”

Solomon's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he looked away from Han Jin and changed the topic casually: "Adolf has a significant influence on the Holy See, and if he appears in the Holy Crown, it will overturn the situation that you and Jaydis have worked so hard to create, so you must be careful." ”

With Solomon's intelligence, he has heard a lot from Han Jin's words, and Han Jin said that Adolf would stop him, which means that Han Jin has not only accepted his Solomon's philosophy, but also a kind of inheritance.

"I want to ......" Han Jin frowned slightly: "It was Nikolai who destroyed the Holy See, if this ascetic named Adolf is still alive, his first goal should be to find Nikolai for revenge, and he shouldn't waste time and energy on me." ”

"You can think of Nikolai right away, yes...... Very good. Solomon finally smiled with satisfaction: "He will go, but he must first ensure that the Holy See can go in the direction he agrees with, and then go to Nikolai, and with Adolf's experience, he can tell which is more important." ”

"I'm a little unwilling to ......"

"Unwilling?"

"This trouble should have belonged to Nikolai. ”

"Looks ...... You're disgusted with him?"
