Chapter 285 Balance is in all things (end of this volume)
At No. 17 Queen Mary Street, Shade and the doctor carried their suitcases and walked up the stairs to the second floor. He suddenly laughed:
"Doctor, judging from what we just did, we look like standard bad guys."
"Good people and bad people are relative terms."
The doctor said that the two did not go to the first floor, but entered the corridor on the second floor and walked along the corridor.
"How to say?"
"No one is completely good or bad. A person can do good things and bad things, as long as he has a good balance."
The doctor said, and he and Shade went to the innermost room. They kicked open the door and went to the window. Outside was a safe alley.
"Balance... Speaking of which, I have always been curious about whether the name of our school, St. Balance, has any profound meaning."
Shade asked.
He pushed open the window and stuck his head out to confirm that no one was in the alley. People on the street were rushing to put out the fire and pick up money, so he took off his mask, threw away the frog legs, and jumped directly from the second-floor window into the alley.
He took off his gloves and shoe covers and stuffed them into his pockets. The middle-aged doctor followed closely with his suitcase and jumped down from the second floor window. He explained in a calm tone that he was in a good mood now:
"The name of St. Byrons itself has the meaning of balance. Miracles are opposite to blasphemy; enlightenment is opposite to whispers; the life ring itself is a standard circle; the ring wizard itself has another self behind it. St. Byrons
I believe that the foundation of the Ring Warlock system lies in balance. Only by maintaining balance can we continue to advance without losing control."
He stamped his right foot, which was numb from landing, and after arranging each other's clothes with Shade, he walked toward the alley with his suitcase.
The middle-aged doctor spoke in a leisurely tone:
"Xia De, the more you live in this city, the more you will understand the value of balance. This world does not need extremes. Where there is light there is darkness, where there is good there is evil. Even civilization and the country itself need stability.
and balance, rather than extreme good or extreme evil.”
They came to the alley side by side, and people in the whole street seemed to be screaming. Black smoke billowed out from the third floor of the single-family apartment, and the flames escaping from the window dyed half of the sky red.
The two of them looked up at the burning window. The flames were quickly rushing from the third floor to the second floor, but no one paid attention to them walking out of the alley carrying suitcases.
Shade thought of the short time he had experienced in this world, and the story he experienced from the first ring to the second ring:
"We kill and set fire, but we also protect the weak. We kill and commit crime, but we always remember to remain reverent."
"That's pretty much what it means."
The doctor nodded and turned around to leave with Shade.
The wind blew on the street, making the burning fire even more fierce. More and more people ran past them, and this strong wind also caused the blood-red poisonous droplets remaining on the windowsill on the third floor to drip from the window.
fall.
It fell in the wind and tilted due to the strong wind.
"Um?"
Shade felt something fall on his head. He touched it and found that it was just water.
Passing by the running people, they passed through the shouting, screaming or simply watching crowds, turned their backs to the burning building, and walked toward the distance along the street.
"Even the night before yesterday, wasn't there a balance between gods and gods? The main responsibilities of the good gods are balanced with each other. When the evil gods come to this world, there must be good forces to stop them. It may be a mortal, or it may be other gods,
But it’s all a balance.”
Shade paused and asked the doctor:
"So, you're saying that the truth of the world is balance?"
"It's not accurate. It should be said that there is no need to pursue balance. Everything in this world is balance."
The doctor smiled.
"No need to pursue it?"
Shade frowned slightly:
"I don't understand."
"You are still too young, too young."
The doctor sighed and shook his head at Shade:
"You still have a long life to understand these words of mine. It is a waste of your life to explore in vain what is good and what is bad, what is light and what is darkness."
"Then how should we balance myself?"
Xia De asked for advice, and the middle-aged doctor smiled:
"I have experience with this. I often tell my patients this: before going to bed every night, review what you have done during the day. If you can relax and sleep after reviewing, then you will be able to maintain balance."
The young stranger nodded.
Behind them, there was another violent explosion of wood exploding. Beside the two people walking farther along the street, people came to help with basins and buckets, or ran away quickly with frightened faces. Only two people walked away.
People move forward at a normal speed.
Flames rushed out from the windows of the three-story building, and black smoke and firelight dyed the sky in Tobesk red. On the street below the building, people clutching banknotes were talking about what had just happened, and they were crying and crying about what happened to a disheveled woman.
Crying, the people who came with basins of water were so nervous that they didn’t know whether they should enter the house.
The firelight dyed every face red.
With his back to the burning building, the advancing doctor raised his hand to press his hat, and the firelight reflected his back. Shade turned to look at the burning building, with the firelight reflected in his eyes:
[Sixth Epoch, Universal Calendar Year 1853, Summer, Thunder Moon. The firelight reflected your face red, and under the midsummer sky, you witnessed everything you did. You also gave your eyes to the golden scale, you
Under the moon, the gods who held a blood feast were judged. The chosen one is your partner, and the girl who bears everything stands beside you. The golden scale is balanced by your weight, and in your eyes,
What you see is the whole world. Foreigner, you who have mastered the balance, do you long for the current story? Foreigner, do you look forward to the vast epic?]
The doctor stepped forward, lowered his head and held down his hat. There was a smile on his face hidden under the hat.
Police squads with sirens playing were parked on the streets, shouting to maintain order, with anxious faces on their faces.
People on the street stood in the light of the fire, the greedy ones lowered their heads to pick up banknotes, the helpless ones looked up at the buildings, and the brave ones waved their arms to indicate safety.
The city hall carriage carrying water rushed from the distant blocks, and further away, more and more people were gathering.
Black smoke burst out from the third-floor window, leaping out into simmering flames, leaving traces of winding upwards under the gloomy sky, reaching higher and higher.
Shade raised his left foot, held the suitcase in his right hand, and turned to look behind him.
Firelight flickered in his eyes, figures swayed around him, noisy noises reached his ears, and burning stench poured into his nose.
There was a muffled roar above the head, the rising heat entered the clouds, the water vapor condensed, and the thunder made a muffled sound in the clouds.
The city is on fire, it’s going to rain.
In Tobesk on Saturday, densely packed people were moving like little ants in this steamy city. Strangers, ring warlocks, gods, cultists, fires... none of this affected the city.
Stability and balance.
He has experienced so many things, but this world and this city are still the same as the day he arrived. Here, it is still the pearl of the north, the foggy city of Tobesk.
Shade stood under the vast sky in the huge steam city, listening to the soft laughter of the woman in his ears, and suddenly felt that he understood something.
Turning his back to the burning building and the people gathered together, he followed the doctor and merged into the bustling crowd.
"So, balance lies in everything?"
In his pocket, the [Origin·Balance] Rhodes card shimmered. The huge dark golden scale flashed behind Shade, but no one saw this scene.
