Chapter 371: Purification

"Water is ruined, and ruined is purified. It is only after experiencing the destruction of miรจ that you can be reborn. โ€

Arcuone spoke.

In his hand was a green olive.

And as he tossed the olives, the green olives seemed to float and sink in the water.

Then, it slammed into each other.

The juice of the olives is squeezed out as a result.

"It's so strong to control the force, and not only has he completely adapted to this area, but even used the force of that area, otherwise he wouldn't have exerted such a level, an intermediate wizard can control some liquid and the like at most, and being able to control the fruit can also make it hit to achieve the effect of squeezing out the juice. This is already close to the level of a high-level wizard. Vicardo couldn't help but say in surprise.

"It seems that this little ghost is really not simple, in this case, even if Cointreau's orange wine is added, I am afraid that he may not be able to win him. Chrissy also nodded rarely, although she didn't say it explicitly, but she also recognized Vicardo's words.

And in the Pleiades, Electra couldn't help but admire: "It's quite capable." โ€

Indeed, Arcuone is the easiest to understand and grasp of these strange things. Atlas said.

"Yes, Yarudiba, I remember this guy, it seems that you brought him out, how did you find him? Electra asked.

The person he questioned was the emaciated teenager.

The thin boy Yarudiba frowned slightly, and finally spoke.

"When I found him, he wasn't like that. โ€

"Huh?" said Electra, surprised. Curiously asked, "Isn't a guy like him born with such a weird character?"

Yarudiba shook his head and said, "At first. He's not that kind of person, even. He's still a very friendly person, it's just that not everyone can accept him. โ€

That was before joining the Pleiades.

When Arcuone was a child. At that time, he was not called by that name.

Alcuone was very intelligent from an early age, and he was very fond of all kinds of knowledge.

His childhood dreams had nothing to do with wizards.

The person he admired most as a child was the scholar Hagus, and his goal was to become a university scholar like Hegers.

Therefore, he went to great lengths to obtain books written by the Hegers scholars. Strive to acquire knowledge. I learned a lot about books, learned mathematics, and learned about history.

Alcuone was overjoyed to find that he had knowledge that many people did not understand.

However, he discovers others and doesn't care what knowledge he has. On the contrary, all the people began to distance themselves from him.

First, there is the estrangement of peers.

The place where Arcuonee is located is a place of poverty. In the eyes of other peers, books and knowledge are just meaningless things.

What peers prefer is a couple of loaves of bread. Or toys, clothes. And not useless books.

Even, they don't even know a word. As for things like magic and witchcraft. It has nothing to do with them.

Soon, his parents were tired of him. What his parents needed. It's just a tool called a son that can earn money to support the family, not a tool other than food and clothing. Children who also need to spend money on books.

As for becoming a scholar, it was an incredible thing for their family.

And the more knowledge Alcuonee had, the more he found that he could not communicate with people.

Even with a wealth of knowledge, Arcuone could only feel helpless.

He discovers that he can figure out the trajectories of the stars, but his parents want to know more about whether the potatoes on the ground can grow.

And even when he knew that he could sell potatoes in other cities for more money, his parents would never want to leave that small town.

Whether it's his parents or his peers.

For them, there is no such thing as a future.

As written in the teachings of God, the destiny of mankind is predetermined.

His companions told him that what they expected was to grow up, spend a little money, marry an ordinary woman, get married, have children, and then continue their parents' careers until the end of their lives.

No one wants to get out of town, no one is hungry for a new future.

The mayor's children are still the mayor, and the children and grandchildren of the farmers are still farmers.

Every day is repeated, so there is no need for new ideas.

So he's just an outlier.

So, he was ostracized.

"That kid always had some weird ideas. โ€

"We don't know what he's thinking. โ€

"yes, and some stupid thing about the stars not revolving around us. โ€

"I guess it's because the demon has taken over the body, and it is said that the demon has mastered such a thing as knowledge. โ€

"Send him to the church, and let the priests educate him and exorcise demons for him. โ€

So, eventually, he was thought to have a mental problem and sent to church.

It was the only church in the town, but it wasn't very dilapidated.

And Alcuone, who was sent to the church, found that his parents, who were eternally dull, and the people of the town, were extremely energetic when they prayed.

"Why are they so excited? Is it really the existence of the gods?" Alcuone was skeptical, but soon he knew that it was only because they believed that after death they would go to heaven and never suffer again.

These ignorant people have pinned all their futures on heaven, never changing themselves, but looking forward to the salvation of the gods.

And the so-called salvation of the gods is a gift after death.

Have you memorized the words of prayer? It is a song of praise to God. If you remember wrong, you'll go to hell. The old priest in the church asked with a stern expression.

"Hell?"

"Yes, you will be punished, we humans are guilty, so the gods sent down a great flood to destroy us. Then they sent doves to save us, using the ark to save humanity. "The old priest sang the praises of the greatness of the gods.

However, Arcuonee laughed out loud.

"To destroy the whole human race, and then spare the lives of a few people, is such a crime great? It is merciful? How stupid are you. โ€

"Smack!"

A resounding slap in the face was slapped.

"How dare you be rude to the gods. You're going to hell. โ€

"Is it just such a simple thing? Even though you have the Gospel in your hand, it seems that you have not read it at all. It says that after the end of the world, everyone will die anyway. โ€

"Don't talk about white bread, you don't have any black bread today, get ready to go hungry. The old priest scolded angrily.

Arcuone raised his eyebrows, but said, "Yes, it's a pity that you seem to be hungry with me today." Because I just saw that someone is stealing your bread to eat. โ€

"What!" the old priest turned his head to look, and was immediately furious. "Damn thief. โ€

An emaciated teenager was munching on the priest's bread.

The priest suddenly became imposing, raised his hand and drew a large stick as a weapon, and struck it at the thin boy's forehead.

Not only was this delicious bread eaten by the boy, but his treasured wine was also drunk. The priest was furious.

Even if it was a child in the town, he would definitely have to teach him a lesson, not to mention that this child was not from the town at first glance. Moreover, the clothes are also tattered. It doesn't matter at all if such a person is killed.

So the old priest waved his stick mercilessly and smashed it at the young man's forehead.

Then, he was knocked to the ground by a punch from the emaciated-looking teenager.

Arcuonee was dumbfounded.

"You look so weak, how can you knock him unconscious with one punch. "Although the old priest is no longer young and vigorous, it is not something that a thin teenager can knock down with one punch.

Arcuonee understands something that he can't.

But the thin boy said, "Because if he loses this bread, he will lose a lunch, and if I don't have it, I will probably starve to death." (To be continued......)
