The Whispering Verses Chapter 2359: Second “Guidelines”
Chapter 2359 The Second "Guidance"
Shad sighed in his heart about the bad taste of the mermaid, but Richard did not object to this view:
"This world is heading towards disaster and destruction. If you can use her power to help civilization, that's fine. I insist on my justice, but I don't ask others to be the same as me. But be careful and remember to remind Self, are you using her, or is she using you?"
"Yes, I will be careful."
"Then farewell."
Richard said, and Shade nodded:
"Farewell."
The originally blurry figure flickered again, and then disappeared completely. At the same time, the notebook pierced by the sword on the ground also completely completed crystallization. Even if Shade was right in front of him, he could only perceive an extremely weak whispering element. Even the simplest elements of a poet-level relic are more obvious than this.
Withdrawing the moonlight thorns, Shade pulled out the silver cross sword. Holding the thick pink crystal that no longer looked like a notebook in his hands, Shade asked in his heart:
"What is this?"
【Crystal. 】
"What else?"
[Nothing. 】
[Outlander, you have sensed a power contained in the whispering crystal. Do you want to use your mental power to touch it? 】
"What power?"
【Gift. 】
The mental power was just a simple touch, and a small amount of whispering elements penetrated into Shade's soul. The new power was easily mastered by Shade, and "she" in his ear reminded softly:
[Outlander, you have mastered the curse "Heart Curse". By mastering the real name and appearance, and using simple gestures, you can cause an individual with a heart to suffer from a sudden heart attack. 】
"Curse" is one of the most basic manifestations of extraordinary power, and the power that Xia Dexin has mastered is a kind of curse. This spell sounds powerful, but in fact it is not very practical. Heart disease is not a problem at all for most extraordinary people. As for the heart disease that Marquis Molson almost died of this morning, it was obviously because the person who initiated it was a relic.
Shad's curse - Heart Curse is not yet so powerful. It is just a curse, not a thaumaturgy. And when Shade was able to curse an object like Marquis Morson to death with this spell alone, he could actually have a better effect by hacking out a beam of moonlight.
"It's all for nothing, I haven't come into contact with the power of curses yet."
He sat on the stone again and looked at the river in front of him, and Mr. Albert, the coroner who received his signal, also quickly walked out of the rice field.
The coroner in a brown robe did not sit down, but stood beside Shade and looked at the river with him:
"You seem sad?"
"Sadness is not really a feeling, I just heard a melancholy story. No one in that story had a good ending, but I couldn't imagine how I would get a good ending if I were the person in the story. ."
Listening to the river, Shade sat on a stone and told the coroner the love story of Madeleine and Richard. He didn't say it was related to the relic, but he believed the coroner could tell.
While Mr. Ptolemy Albert listened to the story, he did not interrupt during the whole process. After Xia De finished speaking, he looked at the river between the rice fields and said:
"It is indeed difficult to make a choice. If it were me, I probably wouldn't make a better choice than them."
Obviously it was Shade who confided his troubles to him, but the coroner seemed even more troubled:
"So, what is the so-called justice? If justice is exchanged for the sacrifice of some people, is it worth it?"
The river is not very wide, and the stars are not reflected on the river. In addition to the sound of water, there is also a slight chirping of insects in the rice fields. Shade wanted to go back for a while, he would have to deal with Mrs. Jude's affairs later, and he needed to think now.
"Justice is really hard to say."
Xia De did not give an answer immediately. The two men looked at the river at night and the night scenery in the countryside. Xia De suddenly looked up at the night sky again. A few clouds were floating in the dark blue night sky, the stars were shining, and the three incomplete moons were quietly shining on the earth.
The sound of insects at night is soothing, and the sound of the evening breeze blowing through the rice fields needs to be felt with your own skin. None of the flying insects flying around Shade landed on him, nor did they disturb him from enjoying the night view tonight.
If possible, Shade really hopes that he can have more time to look at the stars here instead of thinking about the next series of things:
"Justice, this is my understanding."
Xia De said suddenly, Mr. Albert looked at him in surprise, Shade patted his chest:
"Don't look at other people's feelings, but look at your own feelings. Before going to bed every day, think about what you have done. If you can still close your eyes and fall asleep, then this is a just thing - the above words are just For people with basic moral values."
Mr. Albert blinked, Shade sat on the cold stone and continued to say with a smile:
"Some things are destined to have no correct option. If you are forced to make a choice, choose the option that allows you to sleep peacefully."
"I don't understand."
Mr. Albert shook his head slightly.
"It's very simple. Does a person impose justice in order to get praise from others?"
"I think not. Even if it is, the more reason is to want to help others."
Xia De smiled, crossed his left leg on the stone, and continued to step on the river beach with his right leg. He looked up at the starry sky. Mr. Albert looked at him quietly, looking at the young man under the moonlight like a marble statue of a god.
"Why should a person impose justice? To help others? Then why should he help others? Is it because he cannot bear to see the tragedy, or can he feel satisfied by helping others?
Whatever the reason, do it because it makes you happy. ”
Mr. Albert frowned slightly:
"I feel like you are being sophistical, but ah, imposing justice can indeed make you happy. A sense of responsibility, honor, and satisfaction, even the most conservative ascetic will definitely get these when he lends a helping hand to the weak. ."
His eyes seemed to be shining:
"But if justice is just to make yourself happy, isn't it a little too pale?"
Shad's eyes moved down from the starry sky and looked at Mr. Albert. The latter seemed to see the moon in the former's eyes.
"Mr. Albert,? Justice must be a very noble thing? Isn't this a little too arrogant?"
Thinking of the story just now and his various experiences in Yuewan for ten years, the middle-aged coroner just thought about it for a moment and then relaxed:
"Yes, pale, why must justice be colorful? Pale, this word is really good, justice should be pale."
Xia De also made a joke:
"If it were in ancient times, just relying on what you understand now would be enough to become a 'paladin'."
The coroner grabbed his shoulder bag strap and shook his head slightly:
"I feel like I have lived for so many years and I haven't seen as much as you can understand."
"I actually don't understand. It's just that in the past year, I have experienced too many stories. When I occasionally stop to look at what I have done at night, I think of these things. Pale justice, justice is pale And humble, but by no means powerless. ”
"This sentence is very good, who said it?"
"What an old folklorist said when he was talking to me about the angelic relic [Pale Justice]."
Mr. Albert nodded, patted his chest, gave a rare smile, and then continued to turn around, looking at the night scene in front of him with Shade.
No one said they wanted to go back immediately, and when Shade's eyes fell from the starry sky back to him and looked at Mr. Ptolemy Albert by the lake, he suddenly felt that the other person seemed to have put down a heavy burden.
[Outlander, you have guided a hero, and you have some understanding of "guidance". 】
"She" suddenly spoke softly into Shade's ear, and her voice blended into the night, the sound of wind, and the chirping of insects.
"Second 'Guidance', right? It seems that this spiritual rune will appear soon. Blasphemy - Dragon, Enlightenment - Flesh, Whisper - Red Butterfly, Whisper - Prejudice, if the guidance is finally a 'miracle' Spirit runes, that would be great.”
He said in his heart, looking at Mr. Albert’s profile:
"Also, it turns out that's the case."
"She" is still chuckling, and her voice is so gentle under the moonlight.
A long time later, when Shade and Mr. Albert returned to the barn, Mrs. Jude and Mr. Bernhardt were still in the barn yard.
The mud and stains on Mrs. Jude's luxurious evening dress have disappeared. She is standing under the tree with her hands folded; Mr. Bernhardt is not far in front of her. Look at the look on her face. With a troubled expression on his face, it was obvious that he was much more troubled than Shade and the coroner who had just watched the night scene calmly.
"You promised to help me, and this is what you did?"
"Madam, just tell me whether we can help you."
"You promised Miss Rice to repay the favor, but this is how you repaid the favor?"
"Judging from the results, just tell me whether we helped you or not."
"I almost got strangled to death by your friend with that **** chain!"
"I'm sorry, but just say that we haven't helped you. Ahem, don't be angry yet."
Mr. Bernhardt coughed:
"Didn't you also agree to Miss Rice, she will help us, we will help you, and you will no longer **** blood in the near future?"
This time Mrs. Jude shut her mouth immediately, so Mr. Bernhardt "pursued the victory":
"Don't complain about my friend's heavy attack. This is to lure out the relic. Haven't you realized what you are being stared at? The sage-level relic [Richard's Notes], deal with it The price for the existence of this level is that you are knocked to the ground and hung under a tree, which is really a bargain.
And to be honest, madam, this friend of mine is very extraordinary. There are many beautiful girls who want to be **** by him, but they haven’t had the chance yet. ”
