Chapter 138: Sweeping the Arena, Touched by Divine Enlightenment
The battle is over.
Two bright, holy rays of light shone from the top of the temple, condensing into two pale milky white light groups behind us. As the light gradually gathered, two magic doors with slightly distorted light appeared behind the two teams again. Through these two transparent magic doors, we will temporarily leave this sacred place and return to our respective places of origin. There, we will continue to choose our next opponent, and then try to win the favor of the gods with our own courage.
We have passed through this space door many times before, but every time we were empty-handed and dejected. And now, we are about to walk out of here gloriously with a victory, which makes us feel a long-lost cheerfulness.
Just as we were about to step out, suddenly, a call full of expectation and hesitation came from behind:
"Pleasewait a moment, can you?"
Turning our heads, we saw the other team¡¯s captain¡¯s funeral march walking around the ring and walking towards us. He lowered his head, his two bone-white palms rubbing each other uneasily, and the two blue soul flames reflected in his eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of shyness and embarrassment.
"Ah" Seeing this guy who likes to raise cockroaches approaching, Fei Yin screamed in fright, subconsciously grabbed Yangjia's shoulders, and shrank her whole body behind him, leaving only a piece of his shoulder exposed. Only one eye peered out in panic and alertness.
"What, do you have anything else to do?" I had no choice but to see the president's frightened look, so I had no choice but to step forward and block him out, asking impatiently.
¡°Perhaps sensing my unfriendly attitude, Funeral March¡¯s expression became even more hesitant. He gently opened his big mouth full of gums, but then lowered his head again, as if he didn't know how to speak.
While his face was full of embarrassment, the fallen knight of the vampire clan, I Love Sunbathing, also rushed over from behind him.
"Can I ask" The handsome young vampire nodded slightly and greeted us in a gentlemanly manner, "how many duels have you lost before?"
"What do you mean?" In such an environment, no matter how you hear this question, it makes people feel deeply provocative. Yangjia frowned angrily and couldn't help asking loudly.
"Ah, don't get me wrong" I Love Sunbathing probably guessed the reason for our irritation, and quickly waved my hands, "I really don't have any hostility. To tell you the truth, at our current level, if we want to complete This mission is really too difficult. Counting you this time, we have lost consecutively"
He hesitated and glanced at Funeral March, who rubbed his forehead and nodded helplessly.
¡°¡I have lost twenty-seven games in a row and haven¡¯t won a single one¡¡±
I immediately felt great sympathy for the opponents of the apocalyptic empire in front of me, and at the same time, I felt a bit of admiration. You know, we have only lost seven games and we are already so heartbroken and desperate that we have had the idea of ??giving up on this mission several times, but they have lost twenty-seven games in a row and still have the courage to continue fighting. I have to admit that there are not many people as perseverant and tenacious as them in today's world.
Of course, there are even fewer guys as unlucky as them.
"Sowhat do you want to do?" Although their misfortune is pitiable, I really don't see what it has to do with us.
"I think we can discuss it and agree that you win one game and I win one, and we take turns cleaning the arena for mutual benefit? In this way, we can avoid those opponents who are too high level. This task It¡¯s also faster and safer to complete.¡± Finally, the funeral march looked at us expectantly and revealed his plan.
As expected, they are the evil invaders of the Doomsday Empire. Only their brains filled with sinful thoughts can come up with such shameless cheating methods to pass this test of the gods. This is simply an insult to faith and blasphemy to the gods, and the most outrageous thing is that they actually expressed their despicable thoughts in front of the gods here without hesitation, and even There was no thought of covering up or avoiding. Their depravity was so blatant that they took sinful thoughts for granted.
However, while I couldn't restrain my anger and silently prayed to God to send down the flames of punishment to burn these evil sinners to ashes, deep in my soul, a soft and cunning voice seemed to make a sound full of temptation. praise:
"This is really a good idea"No matter how despicable this method of cheating in front of the gods is, it is undeniable that it does not violate any laws established by the gods. The old troll Carlson once told me with a look of disdain on his face that God's creations were not perfect, and that there were stupid loopholes everywhere in the world. At the time, I thought this was just an exaggerated self-showing by the mysterious mutant troll, but looking at it now, what he said was not completely unreasonable.
I tried desperately to suppress this seductive voice with my indestructible piety, and to deliberately ignore it from my consciousness. However, the worst thing is that instead of being eliminated, the idea of ??seeing a ghost quickly expanded and quickly occupied most of my thoughts. "That's a good idea a good idea a good idea" The playful and melodious voice kept echoing in my ears, gradually becoming louder and more convincing. My mind seems to be possessed and gradually becomes chaotic
In an instant, it was as if a bright lightning split open my head and illuminated my thinking. A clear thought flashed through my mind and never went away. It was like a needle threaded through thread, connecting my turbulent thoughts together little by little, gradually forming a complete and clear train of thought:
Who says we have to cheat? Why do we have to blaspheme? Can't we think about this issue from another angle with a pious heart that has great reverence for Shen Ming?
The Most High God once said: If you help those who are in trouble, they will be helped in times of trouble; if you help those who are in trouble, they will be saved in times of trouble. Look at these five ragged hapless guys in front of us. They have suffered twenty-seven inhumane defeats in succession. If we don't help them, they will continue like this. What a huge disaster this is. What a miserable misfortune? Shouldn't we have a holy and kind heart and show mercy to our enemies in difficult situations out of sympathy?
Yes, they are our enemies, the murderers who invaded our homeland and killed our people, but so what? Hasn¡¯t the Most High God taught us, ¡°Love your enemies as brothers and sisters, and you will receive my blessing¡±? What a broad and kind feeling, and what a noble emotional contribution? How can we so flippantly slander it as a purely evil deception?
Similarly, we have lost seven games in a row. If we reject their kindness, maybe we will continue to fail. We will lose twenty-seven games, or even more. Isn¡¯t this the truth revealed by the Supreme God: If you refuse to help others, you will certainly not get help from others?
Yes, that must be the case. How could the great gods be so boring and cruel as to entertain themselves with the life-and-death battles of their living creatures? They are not cruel nobles, and they do not need to use flesh and blood to stimulate their numb spirits. They must have deeper thoughts and nobler purposes in doing so. Now I am almost certain that the reason why they set up such a mission is that what they want to teach us is not just pure courage, but also understanding, support, and the ability to continue fighting in despair. Courage and perseverance, and
like!
That love is broad and far-reaching, transcending the boundaries of race and camp, allowing all races in the world to help each other in difficulties and move towards the future
I was deeply moved by this great thought of mine. Tears moistened my eyes and blurred my sight. Everything that appeared in front of me was blurred together, forming a crystal that sparkled with the light of wisdom. In my eyes, there are no undead and humans at this time, no orcs and trolls, no elves and vampires There are only souls, souls struggling in difficulties and trying to support each other out of the predicament - only in the From this extremely high place of isolation from the world, we can temporarily stay away from the hatred and conflicts in the world, look directly at each other with a more sacred gaze, and then we can truly feel: in the eyes of God, we are all the same, and there is no difference between us. difference.
This thought encouraged me. I believed that I was not bewitched by the devil, but felt divine revelation in a moment. At this moment, I deeply felt the great goodwill and good expectations of the gods for his children. , if these feelings are all evil, then I don¡¯t believe there is such a thing as ¡°justice¡± in the world!
Yes, we didn¡¯t cheat because we didn¡¯t have to. Not only will we not hide this, but we will openly make it public. We do this with a pious and kind heart, and we have a clear conscience - at least I do
My companions were as infected by the sincerity and frankness of my opponents as I was - of course, for these pagans from another world who do not pay enough attention to gods, they mayMost of them are infected by the wonderful prospect of being freed from the endless ravages of powerful opponents: after all, I can't force everyone to have such a noble ideological realm and broad and pious mind as mine-no matter what the reason is. Well, we all had friendly smiles on our faces at the same time, and no one seemed to intend to object to the funeral march's suggestion.
"Even so" Just when each of us believed that we could reach this agreement, suddenly, a clear voice came from behind the Yangtze River Delta, interrupting our beautiful imagination in time, "but why do we Do you want to join the arena with you?"
The person speaking was of course Fei Yin, our beautiful president. She had already stepped out from behind the orc shadow thief, but she still consciously kept a considerable distance from the undead warrior. She looked directly at the opponent with a pair of big bright eyes, without concealing the anger in her eyes at all. He showed a cold expression.
"As far as I know, you may be the lowest-level team among all the teams in this entire arena - even if you are not, it won't be much worse. We will definitely suffer a loss if we play in the arena with you, because we can 100% defeat you. . Even if we have to brush, we can definitely find a team at the same level as ours. It will definitely not be difficult for us" Fei Yin said confidently, completely ignoring that we were defeated for seven consecutive games. The reality of beating people to pieces - the reality is that it is very difficult to find a team at the same level as us!
"And if you want to find an equal team to conquer the arena, it will be too difficult" Concerning the fact that she obviously ignored, Fei Yin showed no shame and still said righteously, " almost who You are the only one who suffers from fighting in the arena with you. Why should they want to fight with you when you are an opponent that can completely defeat them?"
"and" Feiyin paused for a moment, seemed to collect her thoughts, and then continued, "if we clear the arena with you, who will reach the ninth game first? With your level, Even if you reach the eighth game, the possibility of finding a benevolent high-level opponent to help you complete the ninth game is very small, and no one will want to waste time on you. So if I want to join you To clear the arena, we can only let you clear nine games first, and then we will try our luck to find a team that is not as good as us to win one game. But no one knows when such a team will appear. Maybe after you clear the arena, We met in the second game, but maybe we have to lose twenty-seven games in a row before we can meet one"
"Okay, let me explain our current situation more clearly. Our level is higher than yours, we have won more games than you, and it is easier to find opponents in the arena than you. Even if we don't fight in the arena, we have fought nine times. The chances are much greater than yours, but we have to help you complete nine victories first, and then have to try your luck to complete this task. So how likely is it for us to accept the conditions of suffering a loss? "
"The other most important thing is" Fei Yin's chest heaved rapidly, and her face was red with embarrassment. She pointed at the face of the funeral marcher and said angrily, "why should I help someone who is holding a wedding dress?" The guy who scares me with cockroaches?"
Feiyin¡¯s barrage of words immediately made the undead warrior stunned and unable to utter a single word of rebuttal. He was stunned for a long time, then he lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Well I'm sorry I'm really sorry about that cockroach. I was really forced to do this because I had no other choice. , I'm really, really sorry. I just suddenly thought of this idea and didn't think about it very carefully Indeed, this matter is not very fair to you. But it's getting late now. If you don't complete this task, I'm afraid that the five of us will have to work in vain today, and we don't have to wait until the next time we want to recruit suitable manpower. So I can only ask you for help. If you are the eldest lady, what do you think? If it's unfair, we can find a way to compensate you"
As soon as she heard the word "compensation", Fei Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, and two golden rays of light suddenly flashed in her beautiful pupils. Then, she seemed to realize something, and lowered her eyes again, frowning slightly, as if she was having intense thoughts. Finally, she raised her head again, looked at the funeral march in front of her with a compassionate and generous look, and sighed softly:
"Hey, forget it, everyone is here to relax and have fun, so there is no point in fussing about it. It's not easy for everyone, so it's okay for us to do a favor. After all, it's convenient for others, and it's also good for ourselves. As for compensation or something No need"
Originally, Funeral March was obviously ready to accept rejection, but she didn¡¯t expect that the beautiful president in front of her was so kind and willing to give up the hugeIntimidated by hatred and shame, accept his request. Surprised, he was so grateful that he had a weird silly smile on his skeletal face, and kept saying: "How embarrassing, thank you so much"
"But" At this time, Fei Yin seemed to have forgotten the huge psychological shadow that the cockroach named "Xiao Qiang" had brought to her, and came to her opponent with a happy face. She paused softly, stared at the undead warrior in front of her with a bright smile, and asked with great concern: "You must have gone all the way from the city to this remote snow mountain. A long journey, right? Given your level, the monsters on the road must be difficult to deal with. I guess"
Suddenly, the president waved her hands, and with a skillful technique that made us feel very friendly, she took out two thick stacks of potions from her magic backpack, and filled them with infinite affection and intense desire like a fine wine. The intoxicating voice of the ground asked earnestly to the skeleton warrior in front of him:
"Your potions probably need to be replenished, right?"
The beautiful female magician blinked her big bright eyes, tilted her head and looked expectantly at the skeleton head of the undead warrior, with a look on her face that made those of us who have a deep understanding of her behavior and habits feel horrified. sweet smile
