"Richard." I called him, "What are you doing?"

The boy who was squatting on the ground and didn't know what he was doing turned his head, wiped his dirty hands on the clothes that were not much clean in a panic, stood five meters away and lowered his head to me: "Teacher."

"There is an old man in this village who used to help me. She is now in poor health and cannot see clearly. The children are not around, so I will take care of her when I have time." In the satchel on Richard's body were the things he wanted.

Matches, pens and newspapers were sold. In this era, newspapers had not yet been widely promoted. Newspapers were only circulated in the capital Trier and surrounding large cities. Newsboys were shouting to sell newspapers in the streets and alleys, and there were still books in his bag.

There are shoeshine tools, "I will read the newspaper to her, boil water to make tea, and talk to her, and she will be very happy."

Richard Ernst was a special human being.

But it's not very special. I looked at him, and through the unique induction of my authority, I saw dozens of transparent thin threads wrapped around his hands, which were "saved through him and established an important

The soul of "Contact". Although he saved some people, he always did what he could. He helped those he had the ability to save, such as saving people from war, but never tried to prevent it from the source, such as

Promote the concept of peace, or openly oppose the radical aggressive ideas that blindly worship Russell.

From this point of view, he is indeed just an ordinary person.

"You are dirty." I said, "You can't go back with me like this. Why did you get yourself like this?"

"...Sorry, she lives in a small alley in a slum area, where there is no complete sewer system." Richard was a little embarrassed.

I nodded slightly: "Then go back to my manor through the small door of the stable and clean yourself up in the bathroom, just like before."

"Yes." He said. He lowered his head and followed me two meters away.

It was very quiet on the road, which surprised me. Because he always had a lot to say about various aspects. After all, as a young human being, he had already had very rich life experiences. For example, not long after he became an extraordinary person, he was attacked by someone within the organization.

Persecuted by companions with different ideas, he was led by his teacher and other seniors to escape. Then on the way, he was chased and attacked by the indulgent faction, killing more than half of them. Finally, he luckily escaped to a noble's manor, and then discovered that the nobles were of a similar sequence.

demon"……

"You have something on your mind." I said.

Did he realize that being sheltered by the devil was not a glorious thing after all, or was it that the remnants of the temperance faction came to find him and took him back?

"...Teacher, I am very confused."

Richard spoke softly, his voice coming from behind: "Obviously people can obtain funds through their own labor, it is obvious that nobles also help the poor, the gods established churches to protect the old, young, women and children, and it is obvious that the Sons of Steam implemented the Civil Code to protect people's livelihood.

"Code", various injury and illness subsidies and compensation for the families of those killed in battle have also been gradually improved, why do people still live in such pain?"

"Because in fact, no one cares about the life and death of the people."

He looked shocked, which made me feel strange.

Human beings all act for their own interests, the gods do it for anchors and reputation, the nobles just leak a little money from their fingers, the codes and subsidies promoted by Russell are to make the people enthusiastically participate in the war, and no one works for the people.

Isn't this obvious?

I thought he could figure it out, so I didn’t add anything to it.

"Okay, okay, what you said...maybe..." After about five minutes, Richard responded hesitantly, as if his ideas had been shattered and were being reorganized, "Well, then, how to change all this...

…?”

"Change?" I asked him, "Why change? People are as humble as blades of grass and are everywhere. There is no need to care at all. Even if they are burned by fire, drowned by water, or killed by disease, there will always be more.

More survivors. People will build their own nests, forage for food, reproduce, and only need a period of recovery to continue to thrive. This is a cheap renewable resource, why should we care about them?"

His eyes widened, and his decades of life experience were not enough to respond quickly to my answer after the world view was shattered. His emotions kept changing like a revolving lantern. After a while, he finally calmed down, but his whole person seemed to

He lost his color in an instant.

"...Do you actually see the people like this?"

Richard regained his language skills and his former calmness, and quickly began to think: "The times have been like this for thousands of years...could it be said that gods and high-ranking people look down on humans from this perspective?"

"You can think of it this way."

"No, that's not right either." He suddenly realized something, "What about you, teacher? You have always been different. As a demon, you often stop killing and don't enjoy it. As an angel, you are the one in the myth.

From God, you never care about your own believers or your own sect. Since the gods are all for anchors, why don’t you need anchors?”

...Zhengshen? I sneered in my heart.

"Because I am a god more powerful than all the gods currently on this planet." I answered him calmly. Although it is somewhat ridiculous to say these words as a Sequence 2 demon, the demon path is inherently crazy and unreasonable. "

The weak do not want to forget where they come from, so they cling to their humanity. They obviously rely on humans to sustain themselves, but they cannot love others equally. This is their cowardice and hypocrisy."

"I don't need humanity. Because I know what it is."

"However, if you want to save the people, I still have a theory that I can explain to you." Before he completely despaired, I changed the subject. His talent was outstanding and his performance was also very good. He has appeared in several batches of temperance factions.

He is quite famous among the escapees. Although he is also disliked by other people, he has finally established a firm foothold and is not afraid of the pursuit of the indulgent faction. This is a valuable chess piece, a prop that can only be cultivated. I don’t mind wasting a little time on it.

Help him re-understand the world.

"What is it?" he asked me expectantly.

"The world is now in an era of capitalist capitalism."

"I know." The good student nodded, "This term was proposed by Mr. Russell, and it has epoch-making significance."

"..." I felt speechless for a second, and then I said, "Theoretically, there is indeed a more advanced social form based on it, which is considered to be the most perfect, and human beings must

The ultimate social form that will be reached. In the era of socialism and communism, material resources are extremely abundant, and no one will starve or freeze; everyone has received a good education and will not compete with each other; there is no need to work hard, as long as everyone works every day

With eight hours of work, we can feed everyone."

"...Oh my gosh, a world where everyone can have enough food, clothing, education, and no need to work to death? I can't imagine it." Richard murmured to himself, "Then when will this era come?"

"It will never come." I interrupted his fantasy and watched his expression change again, "In that era, everyone was equal. Everyone could live well by themselves, so what else did God need to do?

?”

Richard's expression suddenly changed.

"You, you mean." A row of dense cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, "The gods... will not let that era come? God, the gods will not allow us to live on our own, because that day people will

If we no longer believe in God... we will never be saved?"

I smiled and did not answer the question directly. Instead, I called him to my side: "There will always be people who are saved, such as rich people and devout believers. Now that you know that this road will not work, do you still want to continue studying?

"

Richard hesitated for two seconds and nodded firmly.

"Okay, starting with Capital, first of all, surplus value is..."

"On October 29th, the leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul, secretly visited me again. I can't guess his true intention. He seems to just want to strengthen communication and understanding between the two parties?"

"I felt that Zaratul was more powerful and mysterious than the two strong men of the church I had met. It gave me a feeling very similar to that of my fellow demons. So I casually asked him if he was also an angel without any hope.

As a result, he actually answered me!"

"He said he is the 'Miracle Master' of Sequence 2!"

"Sequence 2? He, no, he is actually an angel too!! I am surrounded by two angels. Compared to the halo of the protagonist of the era, I suspect there must be some deeper reason behind this that I don't understand."

"Miracle master? A master who is good at creating miracles? The name of this potion makes people think a lot! Is this the Sequence 2 of 'Soothsayer'?"

"I tentatively asked Zaratul again, is the so-called miracle a miracle of fate? Is the 'divineer' path a way to gradually understand fate and control it? Zaratul skipped the first question, and he told me destiny

It’s just a part of the ‘divineer’ path, the path that truly represents destiny is the ‘monster’!”

"He gave several examples of the "monster" path for this purpose, Sequence 7 'Lucky One', Sequence 5 'Winner', Sequence 2 'Prophet', and the one at the top of the sequence, 'Snake of Mercury'! This is also known as

'Snake of Destiny'. This is the first Sequence 1 I know, and it totally hit me!"

"Zarath has accumulated very coveted knowledge. Out of curiosity about fellow demons, well, I admit I'm still a little scared, I asked him about the Sequence 2 name of the "Devil" path."

"He glanced at me and seemed to see through my inner thoughts. He bluntly said that it was because of the existence of the fellow villagers that He delayed the first visit, because demons are always crazy and cold-blooded. He said, "Devils

"He is not sure about the Sequence 2 corresponding to the path, but the name of Sequence 1 is "The Filth King". This is also a pretty incredible name. When you hear it, it sounds like the big boss in the dungeon! In order to play the role of the Filth King, is the fellow demon?

Want to establish a demon empire? Hey, it’s scary to think about it.”

"..."

"As far as I know, the 'monster' path should be controlled by the school of life. This school seems to have a partial sequence of the 'pharmacist' path. They advocate the triple division of the absolutely rational world, the spiritual world and the material world. Well, also

Pretty cool.”

"Zarath also meaningfully added that the School of Life worships the moon. Why the moon? And not the further goddess of the night?"

The long diary was finally read, and the amount of information was huge. Klein once again experienced the feeling of being filled with knowledge. This was also the first time he learned the name of Sequence 1, and it was two at a time!

"Serpent of Mercury" and "King of Filth" all sound very desirable. Although "Miracle Master" is also very powerful, I always feel that it is still a little less powerful than "Prophet". I don't know the order of fortune teller 1.

What's the name of the potion... Based on the sequence name of the "monster" path that he had already learned, Klein judged that Zaratul was not lying. The following diary still contained a lot of information, such as extraordinary characteristics being passed on to future generations.

It also answered some doubts related to extraordinary creatures, and it was in line with the law that the number of characteristics remains unchanged. After turning back, he also learned that the current "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon had existed in the era of Emperor Russell.

He has been born and is a high-sequence powerhouse over one hundred and fifty years old!

After reading the entire diary this time, Klein's myriad emotions were obscured by the gray mist. He paused for a moment, tapped the surface of the long bronze table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I want to issue a mission."

Mission! Audrey's eyes widened, feeling both nervous and excited. At the same time, she discovered that "The Hanged Man" seemed to have remained unchanged, but in fact he had become extremely nervous. Only "The Sun" was still confused and everything was as usual.
