The Whispering Verses Chapter 1876: The balance of sin and virtue
Chapter 1876 The Balance of Sin and Virtue
Shad did not hide his thoughts, he asked his questions, and God finally looked at him:
"Why tell him? He didn't ask. The transaction he made was just a few years later, after Sarah Miles closed her eyes, he greeted her with a smile and held Sarah's hand. Pull Miles' hand and walk towards death together. This is very romantic in mortal stories, isn't it?
Looking at God, Shade only lasted less than three seconds before feeling extremely uncomfortable, but he still endured the feeling.
God did not do anything wrong. He gave the knight the opportunity to achieve a miracle. Not only did he become a hero who saved everything, he even gave him the opportunity to see his lover again when his duty was over.
Thinking about it this way, it is explained that Mrs. Miles and the Witch Emperor have never been able to find out the whereabouts of the knight, and even the relics cannot summon his soul. The impact of the rift that summoned the demonic flames opened by the witches' battle was probably more serious than Shade had just thought.
The **** of wealth and trade seems to have appeared in the most suitable place at the most suitable time, and reached a deal with a dying soul? It can even be evaluated as merciful to the world. But let’s talk about this now. It has no meaning anymore, the past cannot be changed, the present is the most important thing.
"God, since you have appeared now, where is the soul of that gentleman?"
"The deal is not over. His responsibility will not be completed until Sarah Miles dies. As for now, he is still in the fire."
The **** raised his right hand, and the sleeve of his robe slipped down, leaving a crack as high as a person in the air. The crack opened quickly, allowing boundless black flames, the smell of sulfur, countless screams, and a terrifying temperature that seemed to be able to melt everything to come from behind the crack.
Even though he had hunted many demons, Shade subconsciously took a step back. The demonic power contained in the space behind the crack was really astonishing.
Those simmering black flames seemed to be burning on a charred plain. The young man who had just appeared in the old woman's memory was now lying on the gap in the ground with open hands, trying to use his The transparent body resists those flames. He was not entirely successful, otherwise there would be no fire on the blackened plains. He reached a certain balance with the flame. The flame would not expand and he could not leave.
"Madam!"
The old woman took out the relic dagger left behind by the boy's death from the witch's bag, and wanted to insert it into her chest, but was stopped by the young witch behind Shade.
She is still afraid of the gods who appear, but she still remembers her responsibilities:
"Madam, what are you going to do!?"
"If I die, he will be free."
The silver-haired old man said that after the dagger was taken away by the witch, she wanted to rush towards the crack again, but was stopped by Miss Higgins again.
She is really too old.
Xia De then asked the key question:
"God, since we are still in this camp, are you willing to make another deal so that Mr. Richard Jackman can regain his freedom in advance and spend her last days with Mrs. Miles?"
God still didn’t speak, but the voice was loud and deafening:
"What bargaining chip will Sarah Miles bring to the table? I have no need for mortal possessions, and I am equally uninterested in her soul and her beliefs. Why not wait patiently? 365 days later, she will move towards death, and then he will smile and wait for her arrival. ”
"I am willing, I am willing to use mine."
"Madam!"
"Use my soul in exchange for his soul! Let me replace him, let him live again, let him see the world again!"
Despite Miss Higgins’s obstruction, the tearful old man still said these words, but the **** shook his head:
"This exchange is not valid. Your soul is too weak and your souls are not equal at all."
"Then, let me go too! Let me go there and stay with him for the last 365 days. Let me be there with him!"
Miss Higgins, who originally wanted to stop her, closed her mouth for some reason. She shook her head with a sigh and decided not to interfere in this matter.
God asked the old man:
"What's the point of this? There won't be any difference between one person blocking the gap and two people blocking the gap."
"No, we were supposed to spend this life together. I have been waiting for him all my life, and now I know that he has not broken his promise. He will really come to see me, so now it is my turn to find him and spend time with him. Live the life that should belong to him!”
Obviously she was already weak in body and spirit, but she actually declined Miss Higgins, then tried to stand up on her own, and looked directly at the **** and made her request.
This is of course not a miracle achieved by the power of a mortal soul, but God allowed her to do so.
"If this deal requires chips, please take my life and let my soul accompany him through his last days!"
The old man said in a hoarse voice.
A smile appeared on the god's face. He pointed at the black scale placed by the fire, and the scale flew above the bonfire. The balance of the scales, what this means, all three of them know.
"Use the remaining 365 days of your life to exchange your soul to go into the devil's flames and accompany Richard Jackman for 365 days - this is a very fair trade."
Despite saying this, God did not immediately agree, but looked at Shade:
"Outside guest, do you think I should agree to this deal?"
Mrs. Miles looked at Shade with hopeful eyes, while Miss Higgins kept shaking her head at Shade, but did not dare to make any big movements.
Xia De, who had already figured it out, said:
"This seems to be the best way for Mrs. Miles. But I know, God, you have a better way that we can't think of, but she can't pay."
"Yes."
"So, you have been waiting for me to pay the chips for her from the beginning. Just like the last time I went deep into the camp, you tried to make me realize through the [Destiny Base] that there are actually more in this camp. Many valuable transactions for me."
The middle-aged man in a golden robe winked at Shade:
"I'm glad, you are indeed a smart person."
The dark scale tilted again, symbolizing the beginning of another transaction:
"You pay the chips and I can cancel the deal between Richard Jackman and me and let his soul be free now."
"Chips."
Miss Higgins shook her head at Shade faster, while Mrs. Miles listened to their words in shock and said before Shade answered:
"Young man, I don't need you to do this. If I ask others to make sacrifices in order to meet him, then what face do I have to face him?"
Shad ignored his two companions:
"God, I'm curious, what do you want me to pay for? I don't think I will have anything that you like here."
He has no interaction with this god, does not have any influence at this time, and is not likely to interfere in anything. And no matter how you think about it, you know that Tree Father will not allow the gods of the past to influence the Sixth Age through Shade.
Old God-[Golden Lord] Answer:
"Don't worry, I won't ask you for anything. You just need to answer one question, a very simple question:
I see your interesting soul, I see the seeds of sin and virtue taking root and sprouting in your soul at the same time. That great sin is not the despicable character of ordinary people. The dark light shining in your soul is derived from ancient and real evil deeds. At the same time, you have compassion, persistence in fair morality, and a golden spirit that is nobler than most people. My question is, would you really not feel disgusted by using the power of sin? ”
Shad really did not expect to use a relic of the level of [Destiny Base] to seduce him, and in the end he would just ask such a strange question.
He let the chain slide from his sleeve to the ground, looking at what was there, he was also proving his own sin step by step.
"People themselves have both positive and negative sides. There are no perfect saints and no perfect villains. At least I think so. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the other party can still be called an intelligent life. Someone once said that sin It’s also strength. I don’t want to quote her.”
The face of the mermaid gradually sinking to the bottom of the water flashed through Shade's mind. He looked at the golden scale pattern on the god's clothes again, and Iluna's face seemed to appear in front of him:
"Balance. The most important thing is balance. Not everyone has the ability to balance good and evil, but only in the balance of good and evil can the entire civilization develop in a spiral. And for me personally"
He pointed at himself:
"Sin is part of who I am as Shad Hamilton. There's nothing wrong with it, it's part of who I am. I'm willing to help those in need, but I'm also greedy in trying to hold on to everything. Human hand."
The third time I came to Black Mist Camp, the experience of reaching the top of the tower step by step was just now:
"I know it's wrong to be greedy, but I just have to do it. Is it right to let go? No, no, it doesn't matter. I once told a friend of mine that absolute equilibrium does not exist. Sinful Why does strength also come back to this sentence? ”
"This sentence is correct, I hope you can remember it. Enough, this answer is very good."
The old **** said softly, looking at Shade with a profound look. As for the dark scale on the flame, I don't know when it has returned to the balanced position.
Xia De is still puzzled by all this. He can guess the power of the gods in front of him, and it is most likely related to the ancient **** of balance - [The Hanging Judge]. But even if this guess is correct, it seems unnecessary for the other party to ask him what he thinks of the power of sin. This would only make sense if it was Iluna who was standing here right now.
