Chapter Twenty-Nine: A New Perspective

Roth: They had a day at Camp Five.

The lack of temporary commissions was expected, but it had been almost a week, and the guild had been reluctant to send people, and the military had been playing dead as expected, and Lista complained about it.

Everyone can see that there is something wrong with this clown, but you can't expect adventurers to take the initiative at such a time, right?

If the official does not come forward, who would dare to stimulate such an unpredictable figure.

If the guild has no movement or may be due to the inability to contact the Adamantite-level adventurers, then the movement of the army is very strange, although the elite troops should all accompany the Elven royal family to break into the old land of the Elven Kingdom, but the United Kingdom's army is not a miscellaneous soldier who can be slaughtered without elites.

Even if the Joker is really a legendary mage, there is no reason why the military should not dare to react at all.

It's just that these doubts Roth can only think about it himself.

If there's any benefit to Roth about the current situation, it's that there was no time to worry about not having a story to share with Joel, even though Joel didn't seem to believe that the Joker was real......

Of course, Joel didn't say that directly, but Roth could still see some clues between the lines of the reply.

It's inevitable that any normal person will think so, right? It's easier to accept that there really is such a person, such a different world, or think that it's a fantasy story, but Joel didn't believe in himself unconditionally, which still hurt Roth, a master.

After Roth meets the Joker, whenever he has the opportunity to chat with Roth, he will be the first to tell a story of his own, and then ask Roth for a story in exchange.

It is said that it is an exchange, but in fact it is more like buying and selling, and the clown never waited for Roth's reply, and always talked about it on his own.

But Roth doesn't hate this clown because of this, maybe it's because of his strange aura, which makes people feel disgusted.

It doesn't take long for Roth to list a lot of the guy's flaws, he does his own thing, behaves perversely, doesn't read the atmosphere, or that he forcibly changes the atmosphere around him.

But Roth can find this person annoying, but he can't really hate him.

And the story he told about the different worlds around the chef and the dishes, if he can survive the impact of the three views, it still sounds quite interesting, although the people he meets now seem to have no one to survive except Roth.

But Roth really didn't have much to tell a story to tell, and soon had to deal with the clown by introducing the customs of various ethnic groups that he had learned in writing, but the clown didn't particularly care about it.

No, in fact, there is another story that can be told by Roth, which is what happened recently, in that village, but Roth ......

“...... The most special thing about the culture of the Qin and Han dynasties is the relationship between them and the gods. Unlike Westerners, who regarded religion as a necessary path to civilization, for the Qin and Han people...... Using this metaphor, you may better understand that for the Qin and Han people, religion was more like an adjunct in civilization, a kind of flavoring. It may be difficult to eat without seasoning, but it can still be eaten, and if you use it well, it will make the dish taste better, and if you use it badly, you will accidentally spoil a pot of soup, especially if you use it badly. With a strange sense of familiarity, Roth explained that for the characteristics of various ethnic groups, only the Qin and Han ethnic groups can be explained by Roth in all aspects, and he can't do this to his original people, the Weiken people, which is also a very strange thing.

The clown's eyes widened and asked, "Obviously there is a true god in your world?"

Roth smiled bitterly: "Yes, it is clear that the true God exists, but he appeared as the [Holy Ancestor] in the extreme east, and after giving enlightenment to the Qin Han people, that incarnation died of old age as a mortal." After that, the Qin Han people developed their own civilization under the attitude of respecting ghosts and gods, constantly fighting against various cults, and also embraced some moderate religions, such as Buddhism and Taoism...... But after the filth began to erode the world, in order to save the world, the true god had to personally appear to guide the Qin and Han people to the west, and this behavior almost destroyed the civilization of the Qin and Han people!"

The clown's eyebrows furrowed like a valley, and he said dissatisfiedly: "This is too much, isn't it? According to what you said, then this true god has hardly given any protection to the Qin and Han people, but when the world is in crisis, he asks them for help?"

Roth found that his statement seemed to have brought a bad impression to the clown, and quickly explained: "Ah, you can't say that, after all, without the guidance of the true gods, it is impossible for the Qin Han to survive under the threat of filth......"

"Are there still people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism?" the clown curious.

“...... In fact, there were still before the self-sacrifice of the true gods, after all, the power they brought was genuine, and the true gods didn't care in the face of the crisis of the world, so what else did mortals care about?" Roth recounted the history that people usually avoid mentioning, while inexplicably having a headache, "But after the self-sacrifice of the true gods, gradually no one believes in the Buddha and the Three Qings." ”

"Are you moved by the self-sacrifice of the true God, or will the power given to you by the true God conflict with the power of other gods?"

Roth not only had a headache, but even began to feel a little nauseous, so he could only say while trying not to show himself strangely: "The above two reasons are not the main ones, what really makes the beliefs of Buddhism and Taoism extinct is the church's criticism of these two heretical beliefs. The Church believes that there is no essential difference between these two religions and extraterritorial evil gods, but the means are more gentle, whether it is the Pure Land of Bliss or the Immortal Realm, it is essentially a means to rob souls from this world, and at a time when the world is facing an existential crisis, believing in other [evil gods] is equivalent to betrayal. ”

Roth didn't know what motivated him to keep talking even though he was so uncomfortable, "When the true God was still there, He didn't give an oracle about it, and the church didn't dare to say anything, but after the true God was asleep, he ......"

The clown also had a smile on his face: "It sounds more like anger or anger." ”

A part of Roth was relieved by the Joker's assessment: "The motives of the church are not important, what matters is that the monks and Taoists have no way to refute this claim, and this is the most fatal problem." The Qin and Han people's original respect for the Holy Master was also something infinitely close to faith, but this was also destroyed at the moment when the true god appeared...... There are many people who accept reality, but there are also many people who still doubt everything, and the mind is something that is difficult to eradicate. ”

The clown's expression became serious, and he asked, "What about you, Roth, do you believe in the true God?"

Roth was stunned for a moment, unable to answer for a while.

The other three people resting in the tent also pricked up their ears.

The clown suddenly laughed softly: "Hahaha, you don't need to answer, you will hesitate to answer this point!"

He shook his fluffy hair with his hand and said, "Actually, after listening to you talk so much about this world, I have always had a question. You see, there is a God in my world, and I'm talking about the one that someone really saw with his own eyes and determined that he exists, and we call him the god of cooking. I told you that there have been similar filthy things in our world, and although we all think that it is not a big deal, after seeing your world, I already know that this filthy being has the power to destroy the world. In that case, why didn't the god of cooking intervene at that time?"

Roth understood what the Joker was trying to say.

Although Roth had never told the Joker about the village, the fact that they were now in an unpolluted area from an explosion was something that could not be hidden.

If an explosion can have such an effect, what if the explosion occurred at the beginning of the appearance of the filth?

It's like the Clown's Anpanman who cleared the filth of that city, and doesn't even need the action of the true gods, as long as the same explosion appears at the source of the filth in time, wouldn't the world be free from all the suffering it is today?

Is there really no one who thinks about such a question?

And the question of the clown brings a new perspective to thinking.

"I'm sure I can't understand what God means, but I think so, in the face of this kind of crisis that the slightest mistake can lead to the destruction of the whole world, even if the god of cooking knows that Anpanman has the ability to solve it, he should do it himself, right?" said the Joker.

"No, that's not right!" At this moment, the girl Nina, who suddenly raised her voice against it, turned out to be the most reluctant to speak, and she forcibly shouted out a momentum in her originally thin voice, "It's not right for you to think like this! How can mortals understand God! You, how do you not know that, what kind of superhuman action is not God's will!"

The clown simply took off his red nose: "I know, because I have seen God's hand with my own eyes." ”

Nina's hard-earned courage is about to fade, "Huh?"

"I said that this accident that is suspected of filth can't even get into the top 10 on our side, right?" the clown didn't put on that absurd style when discussing serious topics, "I didn't rank this list either...... But do you know who caused the accident that came out on the first line? It's me! I've seen God's direct intervention in this world, isn't it the same on your side? Didn't the true God appear in Himself in the end? Since he was going to appear in Himself anyway, why didn't he take action sooner, and why didn't he stop the crisis in the cradle?"

The clown looked at the girl who flinched again, although he could vaguely hear words like "nonsense", "no evidence" and "nonsense" from between the girl's snorting lips, but he didn't explain anything to the other party.

This time it was the turn of the teenager Zhang Luan to grab the girl.

Lista was playing dead over there.

The clown played with the red ball in his hand and said to Roth, "I just don't want to have such an argument with you, so I want to confirm your belief in your god first...... Do you think it's offended? If you do, then I apologize. ”

Roth looked at the clown who kept gesturing to press the red nose back, but always took it back at the last moment, and wondered: "Why do you want to let the topic go all the way here? Although you are usually messing around, I feel that you really like to live like that, why do you force yourself to be serious?"

The clown said helplessly: "Because I realized that if I just follow you to complete the commission, I won't be able to finish this bowl of noodles, and I won't be able to go back to my original world." You said that the upper echelons of the United Kingdom should have intervened to stop the rain, but I don't think this can last long, I don't want to come into contact with filth, and I have to find a way to go back as soon as possible. ”

"And ...... you?"

"I don't know what I'm here for, so I'll try everything I want on you. The clown shrugged.

Roth looked strange and said, "Why me?"

The clown shook the red ball in his hand in front of Roth's eyes and said, "Because of the smell of blood on your body, that was the first taste I tasted from that bowl of noodles, and it was also the coordinates that led me here!

It has to do with the smell of blood.

Roth now thinks maybe he should tell the clown what happened in that village.

"Mr. Clown, I actually have another story, do you want to hear it?"

"Of course!"

......

"Hahaha!" Halfway through the story of the fallen village, the clown pressed his red nose back, and finally burst out laughing when Roth had finished speaking.

"You, have you been refusing to tell me about it because you think I'm a little like that Serandor?" said the clown, wiping tears from his laughing eyes.

Roth was stunned at first, and then felt as if it was indeed the case.

Both of them are good at clones/stand-ins, and they are both very self-explanatory, and both are ...... Some are crazy.

The clown patted Rote on the shoulder and said, "Oh, it's not that I can't understand Roth, after all, I have a different worldview from yours, and even if you are very tolerant, you can't have no doubts about me." It's definitely easier to think I'm a madman than to believe in a different world with completely different rules, isn't it?"

Roth is willing to believe that the Joker's otherworldly stories are true, but he can't rule out the possibility that they are all insinately whispered.

Maybe he didn't want to tell the joker stories about Thrando, and he didn't want to irritate him, right?

"But I have a fundamental difference from that Serendot~" The clown stretched out his left index finger, "I'm a very disciplined person, completely different from his kind of person who values his own rules more than anything else!"

The four people who heard this all looked at the clown with wide eyes, but he didn't care.

"If you are a normal person, after knowing that the army has come into contact with that village, shouldn't you take the initiative to tell the military about your plan? Even if you just cooperate with Liu Yuan's team of soldiers, you will definitely get better results than the current situation, right? That Thrando only has the idea of using everything around him, oh, what a terrible person. ”

His actions had caused the entire army of a city to be destroyed, but before he had a chance to learn about it, the three of Thrando, Bing the Shorty, and Vikinkaka had fled, and Roth had no way of knowing if the three would now feel guilty or reflect on what they had done.

But there are more important questions to ask than that.

"Joker, what do you think of the man who threw my blood in the hallucination?

The clown deliberately frowned and said: "How do I know this, I have to go back to the original world and ask Master Xie what materials he added to analyze the situation, and now I am still reacting! I can only say that since you have seen the hallucination that someone has splashed your body with blood, and you do have a smell of blood that ordinary people can't smell, then you can only think that these two things are related, but you can also think of this level yourself." ”

Roth let out an undisguised "tsk".

In that case, there is at least one question that has been held in my mind for a long time, and I haven't even mentioned it when I corresponded with Joel, so let's ask for the opinion of this weirdo.

"Joker, what do you think of the shorty Bin?"

When the clown heard this question, he said in a helpless tone: "Ah~ah, there are such people, I feel sad at every turn, and I am touched at every turn, but doing things is completely different." ”

Roth shook his head and said, "But he did take care of my feelings and didn't let me meet the shadow of the child's appearance." I think that's what a good person would do, but ......"

"But he didn't care to bring many adventurers to death with Thrando, just to fulfill their own plans. "Even after Thrando caused the big explosion, his eyes were full of excitement, so you can't understand it, right?"

The clown said regretfully: "It would be good if it were my world here, I can make you understand by cooking a dish for you, but it's a little troublesome to use it now~"

The warning circle in front of the tent made a slightly piercing sound at this time, which was specially arranged for them by the people in the camp, and acted like a doorbell.

Whether it's a separate tent or this "doorbell", it's all a special treatment given to prevent the Joker, the "archmage or legendary mage with a brain", from being stimulated to have convulsions.

The clown jumped up: "It's just in time, I feel that I have been serious for too long! Oh, I really can't get used to drinking black coffee, and I still have to add sugar and milk to drink it, so the serious topic is temporarily suspended! People outside the door! Please come in!"

After getting permission from the clown, it was Mr. Camp Commander of the Fifth Camp who walked into the door with a smiling face that was forced out.
