Chapter 396: The Difference Between Russell and Louise
Russell has become "that guy"?
That guy almost became the real "Black Emperor", even more powerful than you angel...... Louise couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but then realized that she seemed to call Russell "that guy" as well.
It's all because Russell left an impression, it's really unreliable!
However, considering that when Russell joined the "Dusk Hermit Society", he was probably only in the middle sequence, and he was not a small role in front of the angel-level Hermes, after all, no one could have imagined how high the Emperor could grow in the end!
"It's an honor to be on par with Russell the Great." Louise said insincerely.
Hermes did not comment on this, but remembered it for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled, and said:
"One thing you're very similar is that both of you have a lot of thoughts."
You're trying to say that there are too many eyes...... Louise silently retorted to herself in her heart: "I'm very simple! ”
"Still, the two of you are different." Hermes said suddenly.
Louise let out a soft "huh" and looked interested, and heard Hermes continue to describe:
"When Russell first joined, although the sequence was not high, because of his status, as the Archon of Intis, he treated everyone as an equal."
"Even after knowing who I really am." Hermes pointed to himself, as if he was very nostalgic, and then said:
"However, in Russell's heart, he is actually very insecure, and he has always maintained a cautious attitude towards those of us who are far higher than himself, waiting and seeing."
"But you're different." Hermes stopped abruptly and turned to face Louise.
"What's the difference?" Louise asked.
Hermes stared for two seconds, then continued to walk forward, and replied:
"Your sequence is also ~ not high, and when facing the members of the high sequence, you behave very humblely, just like the performance that an ordinary mid-sequence extraordinary person should have."
"However, there is actually nothing to fear in your heart, and your humility only stems from the fact that the current sequence is not high, because you are very sure that you will one day reach the other person's sequence, or even surpass."
Without waiting for Louise to retort, Hermes made a final comment without stopping:
"Actually, Russell also has this kind of self-confidence, but his self-confidence is inevitably a little vain, like duckweed floating in the air, but your self-confidence is really hidden in the bottom of your heart, without any discount."
As soon as these words came out, Louise's words that she wanted to refute were retracted in an instant.
She began to think.
No one had ever spoken to her anything like this, not even Adam, though she probably just didn't think it made sense...... Louise didn't want to believe it, but she knew it was the truth.
She is different from Russell, who was originally just a second-year teenager who believed that "the traverser will be invincible", and every step he took seemed to verify this, so this self-confidence made Russell make a lot of wrong choices, and even led to his final tragic ending.
ahzwwahzww
And what about Louise herself?
At the beginning of the crossing, she had a difficult time of tangle and panic, and since coming to Beckland, she has encountered too many things, and has "encountered" too many high-ranking beings, and more importantly, these high-ranking existences that often only appear in legends show an incomprehensible "friendly" attitude towards her.
Therefore, it is not so much that Louise's self-confidence comes from her own efforts, but that she believes in the existence of these "friendly" high-ranking people.
Especially this "fantasy angel" Adam, she designed such a story, forcing Louise to step by step to the point of assassinating Duke Negan, and invited her to join the "Dusk Hermit Society", and directly gave the promise of "promotion to demigod".
Many things that are so superior and enviable are all connected, and Louise inexplicably has an illusion:
"Adam seems to want me to be promoted more than he is."
Louise may have discovered these details and speculations on her own one day, but what Hermes had just said woke her up very quickly.
All the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.
She stopped abruptly, bowed deeply, and said solemnly:
"Thank you for your evaluation, I have benefited a lot."
Hermes smiled, stretched out her right hand to pick up Louise, and replied noncommittally:
"I just said some of my own opinions, and it's not worth it."
Louise didn't refute, just silently buried her thoughts in her heart, and she even began to think about whether Hermes said these words to herself intentionally or unintentionally?
If Hermes knew that Louise was thanking herself one second, and the next second she was beginning to doubt her purpose, I wonder how she should feel?
"Speaking of Russell, he's a really interesting guy." Hermes said as she walked.
…………
Subsequently, under Louise's curiosity, Hermes told some stories about Russell, including positive deeds and naturally some interesting memories that made people smile.
The discussion in the hall seemed to be nearing its end, and although Louise was not qualified to participate in it for the time being, she could tell by the number of people who came forward to say goodbye one after another.
Hermes has a high status in the "Dusk Hermit's Society", she greets the other members one by one without the slightest impatience, and at the same time, Louise also gets to know many big people in various kingdoms, laying a solid foundation for future cooperation.
Until she left, Louise had not seen the rugged man who appeared to be a member of the Church of the Storm, as if the latter had left the meeting early.
…………
In a very short time, the Hall of Giants in Louise's eyes suddenly became empty, and all the members had disappeared, except for Hermes.
This angel of ancient times, standing alone in the center of the hall, quietly looked around, and smiled.
She waved her hand slightly, and the hall of giants in which she was in fell apart in an instant.
The seemingly impregnable stone pillars shattered and scattered, like a scene of the sky collapsing, and just as the hall was in ruins, everything suddenly froze, and it seemed that even time was frozen here.
In the next moment, an even more majestic hall rose from the ground, and the huge figure of Mohu could still be seen wandering among the surrounding clouds.
Finally, Adam, dressed as a priest, appeared before Hermes's eyes.
