Warlord of Chaos Chapter 361: The perfect chess piece
Han Jin has an advantage of not showing off the mountains and not showing the water, that is, he is very good at reading and has an excellent memory. I think he had firmly memorized the entire Taoist Canon in the past few years. Among other things, the Six Ding Liujia Art alone was divided into two volumes, which recorded nearly a thousand formulas, handprints and talismans. Compared with the Dao Cang, The books in this secret library are much simpler.
Moreover, most of the stories recorded here are paragraphs of stories. Han Jin can read ten lines at a glance. Only when he sees the comments left by Solomon, he will slow down the reading speed, or put down the book and think for a while. Then read on.
Scenes of magnificent historical scrolls are unfolding in front of Hanjin. No one can underestimate words, only a few hundred words can condense the bitterness of thousands of souls, or state a kind of heinous cruelty, which records here from the age of the gods until today. all history.
Sometimes, Han Jin felt suffocated, and sometimes, he felt heavy and painful like a huge boulder was pressing on his heart. tragedy. Han Jin has seen countless struggles, loyalty and betrayal, rationality and barbarism, glory and despicableness, love and greed, and he finally understands Solomon's words. Without enough thickness, he cannot bear the vicissitudes of history.
Solomon's point of view is very strange. Even in the face of an extremely cruel monarch, he would not use right and wrong to judge, but proposed a word, attribute! Solomon believes that every life, every race, and even every civilization has its own unique, difficult to change, and complex attributes. If you can grasp their attributes, then even if you can't predict things like a god, you can at least see their direction clearly.
Solomon also said that every life has a very simple attribute when it is born, and what it will become in the future depends entirely on the influence of environment, experience and even culture. For example, the abyssal demon clan has always been known for its brutality and ferocity. That's because every demon enjoys slaughtering. The little demons are deeply influenced by their lives, and it is easy to integrate into and recognize this atmosphere. If he could destroy the pool of demons, cut off the bond between Hamas, the **** of death, and the demon clan, and then kill all the demons in the abyss, leaving only a newly born little demon, what would he become? Perhaps, there is still a violent factor in his blood, but he can completely be induced by the environment and culture to turn the little devil into a fighter for justice!
So Solomon believes that a monarch is very cruel and cannot be judged by right or wrong. If it must be said to be wrong, it is not his fault alone, but the fault of the environment and civilization.
In the book "Twilight in the Mainland", Han Jin saw that familiar story again. He had heard from Sunier many times before that when the war was about to be completely won, Dandin, the leader of the dwarves, invited the **** of war Abraham and the elf messenger Doreen to a banquet, and killed them on the spot. Abraham and Doreen, and later the paladin Gotha led an army into the Dwarf Kingdom in order to avenge his comrades in arms. After killing Dandin, they disappeared.
Everyone who knows that period of history believes that Dandin raised the butcher knife against his former comrades-in-arms in order to fight for the **** of the mainland, but Solomon said that even if Dandin was a leader without ambitions, this tragedy It will still happen inevitably, but at different times and in different ways, all because of the attributes of the dwarves.
The attributes of the dwarves are somewhat contradictory. In comparison, they are kind, but they have a rough personality. They like to use extreme methods to solve injustice and contradictions, but they are unwilling to communicate with other beings in language. Of course, they are not good at communication.
The dwarves are short and stout, which doesn't conform to the aesthetics, and they don't like to groom themselves. They are unkempt all day long, which makes their already unbearable image compromised. Being short-tempered and easily exposed to fire, these made the dwarves suffer from discrimination in a broad sense. In fact, it's easy to understand. If you have a neighbor who looks ugly, doesn't pay attention to hygiene, smells bad smell every time you pass by, has a bad temper, jumps around and scolds people at every turn, and even beats people with bricks, will you? like? Absolutely not!
Solomon listed the topics of the First Continental Conference. In the process of redistribution of benefits after the war, humans and elves obtained most of the benefits, but not much was left for the dwarves. Although Abraham is a human being, he and Doreen really love each other. He also likes the elves. It is under his protection and Doreen's own efforts that the elves have shown a thriving situation.
Perhaps, Abraham knew that it was unfair to the dwarves at the time, but he had no other choice. The cake was so big. Giving up the interests of human beings to the elves, he will be reviled by human beings.
Solomon also speculated that Abraham and Doreen may have attended Dandin's banquet to resolve conflicts. Given Abraham's position as the leader of the mainland at the time, he had almost no guards. smell. Why pretentious? Of course, it was to express his closeness and trust to Danding, but unfortunately, he hadn't really seen through the race of dwarves.
The dwarves also made huge sacrifices for the war. Of course they were dissatisfied. During the more than ten days of the meeting, the dwarf representatives often did things like rage, slapping the table, cursing people, or simply leaving the venue. They were not fighting for reason , not to persuade, but to vent his anger in a childlike way. But the more they do this, the more disgusted the representatives of humans and elves are, and the more harsh their rebuttals are. According to the attributes of the dwarves, when this kind of anger accumulates to a certain level, they must choose an extreme method, so tragedy happened.
When it comes to Paladin Gotha, Solomon's words are very cautious. Gotha, he said, was either a respectable man or a terrible man. In other words, Solomon couldn't see through. He also said that maybe Gotha was also a little dissatisfied with Abraham, because Abraham was too accommodating to the elves, and the elves got too much, which should belong to humans. In fact, after the disappearance of Gotha, the Second Continental Conference completely overturned the principles of the first conference. The dwarves lost their qualifications, and humans monopolized most of the benefits, which also laid the most important foundation for humans to become the overlord of the continent. Based on the principle of who benefits, who is the mastermind, Solomon believes that Gotha may have deliberately promoted the tragedy.
The same tragedy, listening to Sunier's narration, and reading Solomon's comments gave Han Jin a completely different feeling. In the past, he only saw the heroism of Abraham, the loyalty of Doreen, the friendship of Gotha, and the cruelty of Dandin, but now he has seen many, many.
Day after day, Han Jin absorbed the nutrition from the books with all his heart, and even forgot about his daily practice. If you are sleepy, give yourself a magic spell of returning to Yuanqing, and if you are hungry, there will be food delivered by Yalena herself next to you. I really can't hold it any longer, so I simply take a shower first, sleep for a while, then get up and continue watching.
He could see, hear, and think before, but it was a taste that he knew but didn't know why. He can see the bushes but not the shadows, he can see the faces of people but not the backs of people, now a hand pulls him up and lifts him up into the sky, allowing him to look down at the whole world, no matter how big or small it is, everything is at a glance exhaustive. Han Jin is very clear that when he precipitates, ferments, and finally turns all the nutrients he has absorbed into something that truly belongs to him, he will become a completely different person.
He understood that what Solomon really wanted to do was to be a pure scholar, but this chaotic continent forced Solomon to have no choice, and finally embarked on the road of hegemony. Because a scholar who cannot even guarantee his life has no meaning of existence.
Yarina often came to see Han Jin, and she was very happy to see Han Jin so attentively at first, but then she became more and more surprised. She has also read the books here, but she doesn't find them very interesting. Compared with them, she prefers to focus on the future, or go to the laboratory to explore unknown secrets.
Based on Yalina's experience, of course I don't understand, if you can't even grasp the past, how can you talk about meeting the future perfectly? !
Yarina is not the only one who is naive. Her eldest brother Jared and second brother Edison also don't understand this truth, which has nothing to do with character.
Days passed quickly, and Han Jin had read all the books, but he picked out dozens of books that he didn't understand for the time being, or that needed to be further understood, and put them on the desk Today, he will read it carefully again.
A few more days passed, and the books in front of Han Jin became less and less, and finally, the last book closed the end page in his hands. Han Jin was silent for a long time. In fact, he hadn't changed much from when he first entered the study, except for a few bloodshot eyes, but he clearly felt that he was different.
Standing up slowly, Han Jin glanced around with a gaze of worship, and then walked slowly towards the stairs.
Walking up the spiral staircase, the door of the dark room is still open, as if it has been open for a long time, waiting for a long time. The sun was shining outside, and Solomon was sitting in the clear window with oblique light, his body was covered by a layer of halo.
Hearing Han Jin's footsteps, Solomon didn't even raise his head, but asked softly, "How much have you seen?"
"It's all over." Han Jin replied with a smile.
Solomon was turning the pages of the book, and his movement was obviously interrupted: "Read it?"
"Yes." Han Jin pondered for a moment: "But... I still need a while to think about it."
Solomon didn't speak any more, his hobby is the same as the rumors outside, he only likes to read books. And Han Jin did not speak, walked slowly to the window, gently opened the window, and a gust of cold air rushed in. Han Jin took a deep breath and stared out the window.
The atmosphere in the room is very quiet. In many cases, words are really redundant and a bit pale.
After a while, Han Jin asked, "My lord, how many days have passed?"
"Forty-two days." Solomon smiled, "Do you want to return to Holy Crown City immediately or stay here for a few more days?"
"Stay for a few more days, it's rare for Yalina to come back. She and I will be very busy this year, so we probably won't be able to spare time." Han Jin turned his gaze out of the window again, and said softly: "Forty Two days? Winter is about to pass..." There is still a sentence he didn't say, spring is coming, the question is, will this spring belong to him? !
"By the way, let me tell you some news. The elder Xia Zuo of Longyu passed through the Hamara Plain half a month ago. His goal should be Lengying City, but...he will come back sooner or later. Do you need me? Find a way for you to meet him?" Solomon said slowly.
"Long Yu?" Han Jin froze for a moment, smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I've paid too much to meet him now, so let them come to me."
"Your affairs should be decided by yourself, and I will not interfere." Solomon said in a casual manner: "But I want to remind you, if you miss this opportunity, you will have no room for regret in the future."
"Are you... deliberately inducing me? You want me to make mistakes?"
Solomon raised his head, it was the first time he looked at Han Jin after he walked out of the secret door, but his eyes were full of smiles: "You really don't regret it?"
"They'll come to me anyway, won't they?"
Solomon was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, they will come to you, but this is not up to you, nor up to me. Everything has already been decided on the day when Dragon City and Dragon Realm broke apart. Already."
"I know." Han Jin replied softly.
"You already have your own opinions and judgments, which is good." Solomon put down the book suddenly, and stood up slowly: "I will not give you advice on other things, you should understand them yourself. But... there is one person, I suggest you get rid of him immediately as soon as you find him."
"Who?" Han Jin asked in surprise.
"His name is Adolf. If there are no accidents, he should rush to Holy Crown City this year."
"What kind of person is he...?"
"It's a bit difficult to answer your question." Solomon said softly, "Of course the feeling will be different from different angles. In the eyes of many people, he is an upright believer with firm beliefs, but for us Said, he is very, very dangerous. Hehe... Raphael, don't get me wrong, I am not questioning his character, in fact he is impeccable in this respect, the key is that his appearance will inevitably destroy the Holy Crown City stability."
"A believer? He is..."
"Yes, he is a member of the Holy See." Solomon thought for a while, "His status is a bit special. Although he never interferes with the political affairs of the Holy See, he has great authority and can even depose the Pope."
"I've never heard Jedis talk about such a person." Han Jin said in surprise.
"When Adolf left the Holy See, Jadis may not have been born, and he has not appeared in public for decades, and has been traveling in various parts of the mainland. Because of a coincidence, I met him more than ten years ago. " Solomon said slowly: "He is an ascetic monk, you know... In order to make himself more resilient, did he use any methods to temper himself?"
"How?"
"Pain! All kinds of endless pain!" Solomon narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something: "Since he became an ascetic monk, he has never eaten fireworks, never avoided wind, rain and snow, Never even lay down to rest. You know what, you even stand up when you sleep, and always keep your spine straight.”
Han Jin listened quietly and did not interrupt. He is no stranger to this kind of people. He has heard from his master that there is a group of ascetics in India. They use a method that is almost self-harm to awaken the potential of the body. Of course, according to the master, that kind of practice is close to the way of magic.
"That time... left a deep impression on me. It can also be said that he gave me some inspiration, hehe... His eyes are very young. Although they have gone through countless hardships, they have not disappeared. I appreciate his enthusiasm for life, but unfortunately...we are two completely different people from him, completely different." Solomon's eyes slowly turned around, staring at Han Jin: "Do you understand what I mean? ?”
"Understood."
"Then tell me, what is the difference between us and him?"
"Your belief is to live your own life and establish your own laws." Han Jin spoke slowly, thinking while speaking: "Let's give an example, as you said at that time, we have In a game of chess, what you want to do is to overturn the board and no one will play! And the Adolf you mentioned, his whole life is just trying to be a perfect chess piece, so he will definitely stop you, or... Come and stop me, without the chessboard, his existence has no value."
A gleam flashed in Solomon's eyes, and then he looked away from Han Jin, and changed the subject nonchalantly: "Adolf has a considerable influence on the Holy See~IndoMTL.com~ If he appears in the Holy Crown City , will overturn the situation you and Jadis have worked so hard to create, so you must be careful."
With Solomon's intelligence, he has heard a lot from Han Jin's words. Han Jin said that Adolf would stop him, which means that Han Jin not only accepted his Solomon's ideas, but also inherited them.
"I think..." Han Jin frowned slightly: "It was Nicholas who destroyed the Holy See. If this ascetic monk named Adolf is still alive, his first goal should be to seek revenge from Nicholas. You shouldn't waste your time and energy on me."
"You can think of Nicholas right away, not bad... very good." Solomon finally showed a satisfied smile: "He will go, but he must first ensure that the Holy See can go in the direction he agrees with, and then To find Nicholas. With Adolf's experience, he can tell which event is more important."
"I'm a little bit unwilling..."
"Unreconciled?"
"This trouble should belong to Nicholas."
"It seems...you resent him?"
