"So this is the end of the matter?" Robert placed a glass of fruit wine in front of Violet and sat down next to her.
Violet was not wearing a hood or veil as usual. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Otherwise, Baron Rupp is just a little shrimp, and the people behind him are still hiding in the shadows."
"As long as he or they don't reveal their true nature, we will not be able to truly eradicate the darkness in Tateto Town."
Robert motioned to the bartender to give him a wine glass, then poured himself a glass of fruit wine and drank: "Even if you catch them, you can't eradicate the darkness here. The darkness is never caused by anyone."
He pointed to the position of his heart: "It is rooted in people's hearts. As long as someone's heart turns to darkness, darkness will appear in the shadows, and shadows naturally coexist with light."
Verritt silently drank up the wine in the glass in her hand and placed the wooden glass on the bar with a bang.
"It's easy to get rid of the ugly things in reality, but it's very difficult to get rid of the ugliness in people's hearts." Robert refilled a glass of fruit wine for himself, and also refilled Violet's glass. "People are like that.
How different is it from dark creatures?"
"So you gave up your duty as a flower and bird fortune teller just because of this?"
"Give up?" Robert smiled, "No, Violet, I never gave up, I just changed my direction."
"If you have time to look at the brilliant starry sky outside, you will find that human existence is so small, and the ugliness in people's hearts is so small, fragile and vulnerable under the starlight."
"Villette, it's not enough to just eliminate the darkness." Robert shook the wooden cup, and the fruit wine inside swayed with his movements, "We also have to create light."
"To put it bluntly, it's just an excuse." Violet shook her head, picked up the wooden cup that had just been filled with fruit wine and drank it, "Then where is the light you created? It can't be the starry sky above our heads."
Robert laughed out loud at Violet's words: "Haha, I don't have that ability. But I think I see such potential in many people. When they unite and work together towards such a future,
Maybe one day our descendants will be able to see the bright world in my imagination."
"If there is no crime, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment; if there is no famine, everyone will have enough food and clothing; if there is no oppression, everyone will live together as equals... Perhaps by then, even orcs, goblins, elves, and tree people...
...Even werewolves, vampires, demons and other fantasy creatures can coexist peacefully with humans."
"Then what you are thinking is really wonderful." Violet wiped the fruit wine left on her mouth, put down the cup, and stood up, "Such a situation will not be possible for thousands of years in the future."
"Then tens of thousands of years." Robert said with a nonchalant smile, "Speaking of which, Violet, I wonder if you have noticed something before."
"What?" Violet looked at Robert.
"Last month ago, a star that was originally dim lit up again, even brighter than before."
"Is this your latest horoscope result?" Violet shook her head and prepared to walk to the door of the tavern.
"It also changed its location and stayed in the village of Laksius." Robert drank the fruit wine in one gulp, "And among the people I know, there seems to be someone who just arrived in the town from Laksius."
"Robert, I think you won't mind if I put a little girl to work for you." After hearing this, Violet suddenly interrupted with something else to say.
Robert thought for a moment and knew who Violet was talking about: "The one that day? Of course, I saw some unusual aura from her. Maybe she is a good candidate for learning astrology, just like you."
"Ha, forget it, letting you be my teacher is the biggest mistake I have ever made, bar none." Violet put on the hood of her cloak, covered her veil and walked out of the Lion Tavern.
"Anyway, this matter is finally settled." Robert snapped his fingers and smiled at the bartender, "Will, let's make a bet."
"Come on, boss, you've never won any bet you made." Will wiped the wine glass and simply refused.
"No, no, no, I have a hunch that I will definitely win this time. The bet is your three months' salary."
"Deal." Will knew that his boss would definitely lose another sum this time.
"It seems that this matter can be considered over here." Brutus was sitting at the table writing manuscripts as usual, killing the boring time in the evening and summarizing the lessons he had learned.
There was also a brand new money bag on the table, which was the reward he received from Violet - 15 silver lattice.
"My dagger was recovered by the citizen soldiers who searched the tunnel, but the shield was completely cracked. The repair cost would be 1 silver lat, and the strength would be much less than before after the repair. I simply let the White Horse Chamber of Commerce
People recycled it at a low price.”
"After this incident, I learned a little more about the operating rules of this world. At the same time, I also tested the combat skills I learned in Laxius Village. I think there are the following shortcomings..." Bu Bu
Lutus recorded it truthfully. After all, this is a note that he will take out from time to time to remind himself.
To put it bluntly, if you let him fight with any qualified person holding a weapon, Brutus will be knocked to the ground within a few rounds without any surprise. He who uses combat skills rigidly can only bully now.
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
"In the Kingdom of Loma, the existence of faith can be materialized, but the emergence of such an entity needs to meet many stringent conditions, so I don't think you need to worry too much about this in daily life."
"Baron Rupp's ability to instantly increase his strength requires me to be constantly vigilant. The abilities of dark creatures in this world are also a bit strange, which is not consistent with my knowledge. However, considering that some of the abilities of these dark creatures are derived from
Based on human fantasy, it is reasonable to have differences..."
Brutus wrote a lot. After he finished writing, he put down his quill and let out a long breath.
"But no matter what, I managed to survive without any danger this time." He said to himself happily, "No matter what kind of world you are in, death is true death."
The bloody scenes he had seen today appeared in his mind involuntarily, and his throat moved, but he was suppressed.
"But maybe, there are also skeleton soldiers, necromancers and the like in fantasy worlds. Death may be more uncomfortable than living."
He walked out of the bedroom and came to the inner courtyard, lying on a lounge chair and looking at the starry sky above his head: "So is everything really settled like this?"
