Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 11 The Root of Evil, the Source of Light

Karin's head was slightly raised as she said this, and her eyes were full of respect, and it could be seen that Heplus's status in their hearts was indeed extraordinary.

"But what I didn't expect was that his prophecy came so quickly. Karin suddenly became serious at this point, "Is it almost time for change......

"Change?" Alan asked.

"Hmm...... Just over half a year ago, we were woken up by him. He tells us that someone has gotten their hands on a strange magic book and used the magic on it to summon him. Karin stared at Eren and said, "Fortunately, the magic he summoned is the same as the one you use, not the 'Elven Shackles', but the 'Human Spirit Contract'. ”

"It was a friend of mine who picked up the book by accident and came across the spell written on it. ”

But Hepples doesn't think it's an accident. Karin said, "He was familiar with this magic, because someone had used it to summon other elves before, so Heplus was surprised that it was him who was summoned this time...... He also said that it would not be long before something drastic could change on the continent. ”

"Who used this magic?"

"He's a very reliable person...... Together with Alvarona, Calvins and Isger, she sealed the MONOCULAR's Sherin Lezbel. ”

"Lezbell?" Alan was a little surprised, no wonder Heplus looked very familiar when he talked about Xue Lin at that time, "But as far as I know, isn't this magic taboo by the four of them?"

"That was later. Karin smiled and said, "The battle with MONOCULUS was not easy, several of them were injured to varying degrees, and even Isger was helpless in that kind of wound that could not heal, so he could only seek our help. ”

"In other words, you were also involved in the war to seal the MONOCULUS?"

"Yes, MONOCULUS's actions have not only harmed humanity, but have also been a great nuisance to us. Karin said, "Not only because it destroyed the plants and deprived us of a safe place for the wood spirits, but more terrifyingly, it killed too many people, and many souls that Hepples had no time to appease were driven by magic to attach themselves to the restless natural elements such as fire and wind and become elemental spirits." Although they are also elves, they are unable to maintain stability and calm, nor can they think, and will only blindly rely on instinct to wreak havoc and never stop...... That's not what we want to see. ”

"It's really bad......" Alan said with a nod as he tried to imagine the scene.

"However, since we don't have the ability to directly confront the MONOCULUS, we can only help you as much as we can. Karin shrugged her shoulders and said, "That big black guy is our natural enemy. ”

"Predators?" Alan was stunned.

"That's right. Karin nodded, "The evil thoughts and malice that emanate from it are so strong that we can barely look at it directly, and even if it appears around us, even if we hide and don't show up, it can quickly turn us into wood demons." ”

"Wood Demon?" Alan asked.

"It's what you call the Dryad and the Flower Demon. Karin said, "It's our close relatives." ”

"But......" Alan wondered when he heard this, "Isn't the Wood Demon caused by the fall of the Elves due to the use of the 'Elven Shackles' by humans?"

"Is that any difference?" Karin asked, smiling, then staring at Allen, "These are the root causes of their origins...... And the MONOCULUS is the combination of these evil thoughts. ”

"A collection of evil thoughts!" Allen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he vaguely understood something.

"The MONOCULUS ......" Remembering the origin of the MONOCULUS that he had discussed with old Adrian, Alan couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be ......?"

"As you think in your heart. Karin stared at him tightly, her eyes flickering with a faint light, clearly aware of his inner thoughts.

"It's also ...... by humans" Although he already had the answer in his heart, Alan still couldn't accept it, and he stopped talking.

"Yes, it's the humans who are responsible for all this, it's you. Karin hit the nail on the head.

Alan was stunned.

"Anger, arrogance, jealousy, greed, laziness, selfishness, etc...... There is something like this in everyone's heart to a greater or lesser extent, just like where there is light, there are bound to be shadows, which is inevitable. However, when these evil thoughts became widespread and became a common practice, the Devil's Eye naturally appeared. ”

Hearing this, Alan began to tremble uncontrollably. Only now did he understand why the MONOCULUS had human-like limbs and shape, why the giant one-eyed could make people lose their minds and even go crazy, and why no matter what kind of injuries they received, they would gradually heal...... Because it is the product of the manifestation of human evil thoughts catalyzed by magic, and as long as human beings exist, the root of evil thoughts will not disappear.

"Oh, God has chosen humans as the rulers of this continent, and I don't know how it would feel to see this scene. Karin smiled and continued, "What a great creature a human being is...... Whether intentionally or unintentionally, fate or accident, you have created magic, created elves, and created everything on this road, giving this continent an unprecedented vitality...... But you despise the power of magic so arrogantly that you want to use it above nature and the consciousness of the whole world...... As everyone knows, it is not only a gift from God, a tool for you to live a stable life, but also a witness, judge and enforcer of all events in this world, big and small. Magic is always fair and impartial, and it will reward you for your good thoughts, and it will punish you for your evil deeds...... The Magic Eye is the latter. ”

"Punishment?" Alan smiled wryly when he heard this, "Maybe that's true......

"In those war-torn times, war was more than just fighting and death...... The power of magic can make people's ambitions swell, it can blind people, it will further magnify the evil in human nature, and of course, it will also accelerate the gathering of evil thoughts...... When these evil thoughts accumulate to a certain extent, they appear in the form of the magic eye. "While magic has given humans enough time to repent and reflect, for hundreds of years, the most humans have done with magic has been to invade, plunder, and kill, rather than helping each other to create a better tomorrow." ”

Eren was silent when he heard this, because judging from Karin's words alone, this punishment was indeed deserved by the human race itself.

"But ......," said Eren after a long time, "what about those innocent people...... Those who should not be punished will be implicated together. ”

"Oh, you're a gentle and kind man...... Karin said with a smile, "and though you don't have the surname Alvarona, you're exactly like Jill. ”

Alan was stunned.

"Admittedly, the punishment imposed by the MONOCULUS as a magic on humans is indeed a bit too harsh, after all, there are still many people who are good in their hearts, and these people should not be treated the same. Karin said, "And if the Magic Eye is allowed to continue like this, not only humans, but also no living creatures on this continent." ”

"I heard that the warring nations stopped the war and joined forces to fight against the Evil Eye. ”

"Oh, tiny human beings, whatever you do in front of the Magic Eye is nothing more than a death struggle. It is only at such a life-and-death juncture that they realize what they have done wrong before and how stupid they are...... Although it was already late. Karin sneered, "But maybe there is still a glimmer of mercy from the heavens, and the four guardians appeared in time at this time...... Together with the mission of salvation and change. ”

"But why are they the four ......of them," Alan thought when he heard this.

"There is no why, that's why fate is called fate. ”

Alan looked at Karin stunned.

"If I had to find out why, then I can only say that probably because only the four of them are capable of doing it. Karin said, "The evil thoughts emitted by the Demon Eye are not something that ordinary people can resist, let alone fight against the Demon Eye, even if they are just close to it, they will become delirious. And the special physique that Jill has is precisely the key to fighting the Magic Eye. It may seem completely unusual to the average person, but it can be seen clearly in our eyes...... Our eyes can see the dark side of the human heart. Ordinary people will have some shadows in their hearts to some extent, so they can be used by the magic eye, but Jill is an exception...... His heart is bright, not only can the MONOCULUS have no effect on him, but he can also illuminate the people around him and help others dispel the shadows in his heart...... This is the special constitution that we call the 'Heart of Light'. ”

"Heart of Light......" Alan muttered, and there was a sudden inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

"It is not only the sun that can produce light, but also the human heart. In fact, what gave him this physique was not something very high and unfathomable, but a simple will, but this will was simple and free of impurities. Karin thought for a moment and said, "It is matter that makes up the world, and the will that unites it as a whole. ”

Alan looked at her with some incomprehension.

"It's probably too early for you to understand this. Karin stared at him, smiled, and said, "You just need to remember that you have a constant awe of magic and everything around you." ”
