Chapter 51 Justice?
After finishing the conversation, Zhou Li, Linghai and Eluma left the big library. Victoria did not send them off, she just sat in her seat and watched everyone's leaving without saying a word.
Opening the door, a stone was suddenly thrown into the quiet lake. The noisy streets brought the three of them back to reality. Linghai, who was originally in a trance and confused, came back to her senses. She looked at Zhou Li aside and asked softly.
:
"Is what she said true?"
Zhou Li could see that Linghai was very confused at this time. He shook his head, nodded again and said, "Yes, and no."
Looking at Ling Hai who was looking at him with confusion and nervousness, Zhou Li did not look back, but he could still feel the gaze behind the bronze door. He pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Ling Hai in a slow and unhurried manner.
said:
"Among the three books of creation, the book of omniscience and omnipotence builds order and rules. The book of ignorance and incomprehension builds abyss and chaos. And the book of half-knowledge builds compromise."
"Compromise to rules, compromise to chaos. It will not be precise and strict, nor will it be chaotic and formless. Therefore, among these three books, only the book of half-knowledge is the most like a human being."
Having said this, Zhou Li paused for a moment. He stretched out his hand and stopped the two people behind him. The "If you ask, you must say something area" in the Great Library can only take effect in a small area. This opportunity is rare.
, if he continues walking, he is afraid that he will cross Victoria's line of sight.
"If you ask a question to the all-knowing and all-powerful Book, the answer you get must be the absolute truth."
Zhou Li paused for a moment when he said he was omniscient and omnipotent. He seemed to have remembered something, and a lingering fear flashed in his eyes.
"It sounds beautiful, but life is too fragile and cannot bear the absolute truth that contains the rules of the world. Even if the gods want to get a wide-ranging truth, they have to pay the price of their lives to obtain the truth."
If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.
Zhou Li's explanation made Linghai subconsciously think of this motto. She was a little surprised. At first, when Zhou Li mentioned these three books, she thought that these three books were artifacts that could give people quality.
A leap. And now it seems that it is indeed a qualitative leap.
Leap a hundred years and die immediately.
"What about the other one?" Linghai couldn't suppress his curiosity this time and asked before the professional admirer Eluma: "What about the book called Ignorance and Incomprehension?"
"Ignorant and confused..."
Zhou Li clicked his tongue and scratched the back of his head with a strange expression: "If omniscience and omnipotence means telling you all the truth, then if you are ignorant and ignorant, you can tell you all the wrong answers without causing harm to the human body."
"Isn't this okay?" At this time, Eluma on the side quickly reacted, "As long as we sort out all the answers in the book, won't we get the truth?"
"Ha ha."
Zhou Li smiled brightly and said in agreement: "Indeed, your idea makes sense. If the people who thought so before were not polluted by the "disaster answers" in the Book of Ignorance and went crazy directly, you should
I can win a smart prize."
After hearing Zhou Li's answer, Linghai on the side understood. If the answer given to others by the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence is a collection of truths, it will make people die on the spot due to brain overload. The Book of Ignorance and Incomprehension will
Injecting countless junk files will directly disgust the readers into madness.
"Therefore, only half-understood books that split oneself into several parts and scatter them all over the world are the most friendly to the human race."
Zhou Li held his breath again. After feeling that the gaze from behind was still there, he continued: "You can understand that Victoria can observe the whole thing, but she can't tell you directly. She must become the Riddler and use
She will reveal the truth to you in various indirect ways. As for whether you can understand it or whether you have understood it wrong, she will not tell you."
"What she said may be the truth, or it may be a metaphor, or she may use words to remind you that she is actually speaking the opposite. As for what you think, it depends on you."
After the words fell, his gaze disappeared. Zhou Li turned around and focused his eyes on the bronze door that exuded a faint glow. Zhou Li's deep eyes were filled with sincere gratitude. He nodded slightly, as if he was greeting someone.
.
"Let's go."
Zhou Li waved, walked down the steps, and said to the two people behind him: "We have all met those who need us to be respectful and sincerely grateful."
"Next, we have to meet the villain."
*********************************
"I didn't expect that, Miss Don Quixote, you would come to see me in person."
In a villa with a low-key appearance and luxurious interior decoration, a middle-aged man with a clean goatee sat on a chair covered with red satin, smiled at the short-haired woman in front of him and said: "It seems that you still practice
True justice really makes me admire you."
"As a noble who is still registered in the bill, I must abide by the king's order. This is law, not justice."
Don Quixote, who was sitting on the chair, had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Mr. Carter Roland, the king's order allows me to temporarily cooperate with your actions. Please give me your instructions."
"No, no, no, Miss Tang, I am not in charge of the action this time."
The man named Carter laughed a few times, then he stood up and clapped his hands. The gorgeous door behind him was slowly pushed open, and a man with a deep appearance in a crimson robe walked out of the shadows. He looked at Tang Ji
Hede, with his left hand on his chest, bowed and saluted.
"Cardinal Archbishop of the Just Church, Lear."
After announcing his name, Liard stood up straight. At this time, a surprised expression appeared on the face of Don Quixote, who was originally expressionless. She stood up, respectfully performed a standard knightly salute, and lowered her head.
The moment he shook his head, Don Quixote's eyes were filled with shock.
As for the reason why she was so rude, besides her bald head, which could be called a little sun, the moment the name Red Archbishop appeared, Don Quixote suddenly felt a chill.
There are many professionals in this world. The distinction of soul color, that is, the eight professional levels from black iron to god's gift, is the most important part of judging a professional's strength. The soul color requires the unremitting efforts and efforts of the professional himself.
Only talent can climb upward.
But cardinals don't need it. They are born platinum, and they can step into the brilliance through cultivation. The god-given level is where they belong. And for the church, a cardinal is the person with the greatest power besides the pope. In the end,
The important thing is that the cardinal is the only professional who can listen to the word of God.
Not counting the brave, the brave can chat with the gods when they go to the toilet.
Therefore, after learning that the bald man was a cardinal, Don Quixote's heart suddenly sank. The purpose of the bishop who suddenly appeared at such a time was already very clear. As expected, after introducing himself,
, Leard continued to say to Don Quixote:
"Miss Tang, in the name of our Lord, I am carrying out a very important mission to save the people who are about to step into the abyss. I need your cooperation for this mission."
Don Quixote did not speak, but looked straight at Liard. Faced with the slightly disrespectful behavior, Liard, who had no airs at all, did not care at all. He put his left hand on his chest and said to Don Quixote sincerely:
"I hope that you will sign this contract with him during the subsequent battle with the hero."
Taking the paper from Lild, Don Quixote began to read the text on it.
"Under the witness of the God of Justice, Don Quixote and Zhou Li conclude this contract."
"This battle will abide by the laws of fairness, and any party that violates fairness will be punished. If Don Quixote violates fairness, she will be stripped of all identities and exiled to the northern desert."
Seeing this line of text, Don Quixote did not have any big psychological fluctuations. After all, she knew that she would not destroy the so-called fairness. So she continued to read.
"If Zhou Li violates fairness, then he must become one of God's people, make every effort to save the common people, and accept God's gifts."
"this······"
After seeing this line of words, Don Quixote was speechless for a moment. Lild naturally understood Don Quixote's surprised mood. He looked at Don Quixote and said with a slight smile:
"Yes, the gods do not want to take action against Mr. Zhou Li. The great gods just want to bring the brave man who has gone astray back to the right path, shoulder his responsibilities, and let the supreme gods lead him to defeat the disaster. Don Quixote
Miss De, are you relieved now?"
I'm relieved.
Don Quixote stared blankly at the line "punishment", and an inexplicable emotion gradually took over her heart.
"Are you so sure that Zhou Li will destroy fairness?"
A dry, hoarse voice came from Don Quixote's mouth. Lild nodded slightly and said calmly:
"The gods commanded me not to hide it from you."
"The brave man carries a book that does not belong to him. This book will provide him with power that does not belong to him. And the brave man himself does not know the nature of that book."
Therefore, as long as Zhou Li stepped into the just contract, he would have violated the contract.
This contract was unjust from the beginning.
"Um···"
Don Quixote pursed his dry lips. She felt absurd, but also a little funny. It was hard for her to imagine that a just god with fairness as his god would set a verbal trap from the beginning.
Just? Just.
Fair? Not fair.
It seemed that she agreed with Lild's words, and it seemed that she also wanted to see the result of the brave overcoming the disaster under the guidance of the gods. Don Quixote put away the contract and nodded.
"Okay, but to be on the safe side, I need Miss Don Quixote to swear an oath with me under the gaze of the gods."
This time, the cardinal's face was full of solemnity. An invisible coercion permeated the entire room from him. Don Quixote smiled softly, then raised his hands and swore an oath together with the cardinal.
"No matter when, where or to whom, I will not reveal everything I have just told others. The gods are watching and justice has been determined and must not be violated."
After making the oath and giving all the instructions, the cardinal left the villa. Don Quixote had no intention of staying. She glanced coldly at Count Carter aside and asked in a deep voice:
"What does the king want from this matter?"
"Don't be so outspoken, Miss Tang."
The count elegantly swayed the red wine in the glass, and his meticulous clothes were very elegant. "Twilight Forest is an important place for the kingdom, and the king attaches great importance to that dangerous land. In order to maintain the surrounding security, of course we need a safe enough entrance. I believe
, the brave man who converts to the gods must have a noble consciousness. How can that eastern land become a stumbling block for the brave man to succeed? Are you right, Count Don..."
"Oh."
Hearing the emphasis of the word count, Don Quixote sneered. Then she stood up and left the luxurious villa.
Really, I'm relieved.
Walking on the mainland, the light in Don Quixote's eyes became more solid. A determined expression gradually appeared on her heroic face, followed by a relieved smile.
In the morning, Don Quixote took a carriage to Victoria with Zhou Li and looked at the setting sun. The emotions of anger and relief were intertwined and fell in her heart.
Your prophecy has been completely fulfilled.
