Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum Chapter 815: The eighty-fifth bowl of soup (ten)
The eighty-fifth bowl of soup (ten)
"Is it difficult to understand?" S thinks that this girl, Qing Huan, cooks deliciously, has a nice voice, looks good and is easy to get along with, but there is something wrong. It was stupid at the time, just like now. "Do you think the high priest is a gift from God?"
"Then... how did it come?" Qing Huan asked shamelessly. "I've read those books. There's a lot of records about the Holy Religion, but nothing about the High Priest."
"Of course not." There was no emotion in S's voice, and Qing Huan followed him, inexplicably felt that his mood was a little gloomy. This made her unable to help but care: "What's the matter with you?"
"Nothing." It didn't seem like she meant to tell her.
After getting along for so long, Qing Huan has basically been able to figure out S's character. This guy is extremely awkward. Many times he wants to say what he wants. arrived. Therefore, she held his hand affectionately - the two hands were very different. S's hand was slender and powerful, and it was frighteningly cold. Whenever Qing Huan touched it, it was like being in an ice cellar. She had never been in close contact with S again, and she wondered if he was like a big ice cube.
"It doesn't mean anything, Lord S, just tell me, I won't leak it out. I swear!"
No one knows because everyone who knows is dead. In fact, S also really wanted to find someone to tell him, and Qing Huan's pestering him just happened to obey him. While pushing the boat to tell her, he did not forget to make another request: "You should put more sugar in the goat milk custard."
A guy with a sweet tooth.
"I listen to you."
So on this long street where various things are happening, Qing Huan learned how the high priest was chosen.
Each High Priest possesses powerful magic, and they can predict the time of their own death. To this end, they will choose an heir twenty years in advance and train him to become the next high priest.
Not one, but countless heirs. Boys selected from all over the continent should be between five and seven years old, with excellent qualifications - other than that, there are no other requirements. It would take years to find such a boy alone, so every high priest began his search as soon as he took office. Countless magically gifted boys were sent to the Holy Church, and then they were locked up in the forest of the Great Hall, where there was nothing but beasts, and they had to live on their own power.
It goes without saying what cruel things happened during this period, but only a few dozen people survived. These dozens of children will be sent to different villages. In the words of the Holy Religion, the gods have been paying attention to children with the potential of high priests.
The children who were sent to the village became the objects of prayer for the villagers, but in contrast, he must not eat or drink. They were hanged on the high statues, the villagers knelt in front of them, and then Turn around and never look back.
In this way, they die one by one. If they try to escape, they will be burned alive by the villagers.
Until the last surviving boy was sent back to the Holy Order to be raised as the next high priest.
But this is far from the end. To be a high priest is to accept the responsibility that belongs to the high priest. The mortal body will be injured and aged, just like ordinary people, so he needs to abandon his "human" identity. The flames burned for seven, seven and forty-nine days. Because of the medicines taken in advance, the bones would remain. Then the skeleton was sent to the altar and fed with blood every day until the life of the high priest was exhausted and the magic of the high priest was consumed. A new high priest with the soul will appear.
From generation to generation, it is inherited like this.
What cruel creatures humans are. They wholeheartedly want the protection of the gods, they keep telling their beliefs, and they ask why God doesn't care for them more, why they can't get more, but they can hurt others without hesitation. For human beings, whether a child hanged on a **** statue will starve to death or survive, it has nothing to do with them. If the boy on the idol dies, it is considered an ominous symbol. Instead of collecting his body, people would sprinkle his body with salt and burn it to drive out the devil.
The high priests have no memory when they are reborn, and they will become the patron saints of the royal family just like their predecessors. They don't remember everything they have suffered in the past, but when they find their heirs, they can mercilessly impose what happened to them on their heirs again.
But S remembers everything.
He thought about why many times later, maybe because he was different from everyone else, maybe because he suffered more embarrassing things before he was selected. For example, it was sold by an alcoholic father and a gambler's mother to an old nobleman who liked little boys for one hundred mainland dollars.
They walked away with a hundred dollars laughing, S looked at their backs.
Many people are watching this, and for them, selling their children for a little money is a normal thing to do. If you want to live, you have to give up something, right? No matter what you can do, it's all smooth sailing. S's sister was sold by her parents to an old widower tailor when she was eleven years old. She had a child within a few months and died on the bed during childbirth.
The old tailor took a piece of rag and hurriedly wrapped his sister's body and threw it away. As for the tiny dead baby, he threw it into the cesspool without thinking. That mass of flesh and blood merged with the filth, and sooner or later it would be corroded away.
Then the old tailor took out the ten dollars that he had saved for a long time, and bought a smaller girl from someone else's house to be his wife.
This is life in a slum. Boys are worthless, and girls are even more worthless. Rape, murder, looting and other things happen all the time, and countless underage girls die silently before the eyes of the gods.
No one will pity them because they are of low origin and no one will notice them because they are dead and no one cares.
S is an impostor.
The old aristocrat has a five-year-old son, who is very cute in pink and jade. Unfortunately, the result of the divine divination is that the young master is extremely talented, so even if he is a noble, he must send his son.
Of course he was reluctant. The S he bought and hadn't started at this time was like giving a pillow when he fell asleep.
S had the warmest and warmest time in his life. Long-term malnutrition made him look extra thin and sallow, and the old aristocratic cramming-style parenting method made him white and fat in a very short period of time. When he put on the clothes made of silk and satin, it was good-looking that no one disagreed with the angel.
The regretful look in the old nobleman's eyes, S will never forget.
Perhaps that's why he keeps all his memories.
Whether it was a greedy parent, a tyrannical old nobleman, an ignorant and ignorant villager, or a **** that didn't exist, he remembered it clearly. The panic of being chased and hunted by wild animals in the jungle, the fear of seeing boys of the same age die one by one, because of extreme hunger and the past of eating dead flesh——
Hanging on the statue, basking in the wind and the sun, crows pecking, returning to the holy religion, burning and peeling off the bones, all of these are all remembered by S.
What he wants to protect is not the royal family, nor this continent. He can't wait for human beings to disappear in this world, so how can he bless and protect them.
The weak should not exist in the world, this is S's idea.
Since you are going to be bullied when you are alive, it is better to die all. Black and white, dirty and clean, good and bad, all disappear together, and then re-establish a brand new world.
The strong decide other people's life and death, while the weak do not even have the right to choose death. His life was once worth only 100 yuan, and more people were bought out by a few yuan. After a new high priest was born, all the villagers in a certain village starved to death for some reason. They could not leave the village, could not communicate with the outside world, and people from outside could not come in. The food in the village was quickly exhausted, and the villagers began to Cannibals until the last living man eats all the flesh from his body.
A certain noble family had a vision, and the thunder scorched them alive, not even a dog was spared.
They created the "gods" with their own hands, and now the gods will destroy them with their own hands.
S does not care about the rebel king, the royal family, or the holy religion. That's why he allowed that stupid elf to escape, let the lowly rebel army turn the world upside down in the holy religion, let the royal family oppress their subjects and make a fortune-because none of this has anything to do with him!
"Don't you think I planned the future of this world perfectly?" S asked Qinghuan with a frantic gaze. "You must be proud of my idea, too? At that time, you will accompany me and cook for me."
Those who want to destroy the world see Qinghuan a lot, she smiled slightly: "Just be happy."
S was very excited. It seemed that a bright future had already appeared in front of him. The world without human beings is the most beautiful. What laws, morals, fairness and justice, what to worry about? If human beings disappear, there will be no such problems, right?
"You like it, right? Hey, you like it, right?" Like a kid desperate for adult approval. "You'll be with me, right?"
Qing Huan stood on tiptoe and touched his head: "Of course."
S suddenly became happy, he was very happy that his idea could be approved: "You are not Envy, Envy will only say something unpleasant to stop me, I still like you!"
He finally believed that Qing Huan was not Envy. Even with the same face, they were indeed not the same person. Qinghuan still doesn't know who Envy is. Seeing that S is in a good mood, she feels that her question may be answered: "Who is Envy?"
