39. Beyond the Curtain AD Grand Duke's Three Comments on 'Kingdom Wind and Cloud' Part 3
"Does history create heroes, or does heroes create history?"
"I have discussed this issue with Mr. Neil Haber - Mr. Haber is a [Planeswalker], and like me has the ability to travel across the multiverse - the two of us have significant differences on this issue.
Disagreements.”
"Oh, to explain, Mr. Neal Harper was a historian in his home world before he ignited his planeswalker "Spark"."
"So from an academic point of view, his views are closer to the perspective of a mortal. And because I am the Lord of the Nine Hells for a long time, I look down on all living beings from the perspective of the devil and the true god. When looking at the overall situation, there must be a lot less 'human' flavor.
."
"In short, from the perspective of me, Asmodeus, the [Original Devil] of the Nine Hells, all turmoil in the mortal world can be considered to be the natural and accidental nature of [class mobility].
, inevitably, the dynamic order born from the fusion of these three in the chaotic history of the mortal world."
"The superior holds a shield to protect the lord, can serve knights, and can serve as a companion to clan girls;
The winner is the first to ascend and capture the flag, and can divide the fields and supervise the villages and towns;
Those below will fight to the death without retreating, so that they can be rewarded with money, cattle and sheep."
"From my perspective, the history of mortals is just a cyclical process of [class mobility] round after round. I can replace 'knight' with 'ceo'; replace 'field' with 'share'; replace '
Money' exchanged for, uh..."
"Ahem, money is money and cannot be replaced. After all, no matter which mortal world it is, money is always the most equivalent [proof of class]."
"In short, I have witnessed the wonderful and ever-changing worlds in the multiverse——
——However, no matter which one it is:
The iron-blooded continent of lances and magic
The misty universe of Tongxuan and Tianyuan
The mysterious world of steam and curiosity
The Cyber Kamigawa of Data and Illusion
——The chaos that the True God of Devil (I) sees, in my opinion (Asmodeus), is just the fight of [class mobility]."
"Neil Harper, he was opposed to that, and that was the big disagreement between him and me."
"Mr. Harper is both an extraordinary [planeswalker] and a mortal historian, so I very much welcome his counter-arguments. I am used to hearing the flattery of little devils and the prayers of secular believers.
Talking about it and having some tit-for-tat thoughts can make me feel interesting, which is great."
"The counterargument put forward by Neil Harper is based on the logic that 'all mortals are mortal'. He believes that - I, the ruler of the nine hells, the [true god of the devil] with endless life -, is not
We should use a 'completely disconnected concept of time', one-sided, labelling, lacking comparison, not considering the fragility of mortals, ignoring the emotional inner driving force of mortals, and using the life level of 'true gods' to depict the struggles of mortals' love and hate."
"Mr. Harper believes that even taking the iron-blooded continent of [Lance and Magic] as an example: farmers, mercenaries, priests, feudal nobles, and extraordinary careerists, their temporary desires and impulses,
With just a moment of luck, it is no longer possible to be '100%' sure that they will achieve their life goal of [class advancement]."
"This is what Mr. Haber thinks: Mortal psychology has both a purely rational and calculating divine part and a perceptual, short-term human part. It is precisely because 'all mortals are mortal' - the true God
Everyone is a [short-lived species] - therefore, no mortal has ever been aiming for the goal of [becoming a hero] from the beginning."
"Mr. Harper's own view, in his own words -
'History never wants to create heroes, and heroes do not want to create history. History and heroes live in the present, and they will only think about the future when they have enough energy.'
Well, I always felt that Mr. Harper was trying to deceive me, but somehow I believed it as soon as my brain got hot."
"The difficulty of the test to fool me is DC60 or DC80?"
"Oh, forget it, I'm too lazy to catch him. If the [Planeswalker] really wants to run away, it will be very difficult to catch him."
"Well, by the way, one of Mr. Harper's ancestors was the 'Mercenary King' of the crystal wall system in his hometown. In our Golarion terms, it can be roughly converted into a world hero of lv40 legendary path."
"Although theoretically speaking, Mr. Neal Haber's ancestor has passed away, but there is no guarantee that one will emerge from any corner..."
"You understand what I mean? Even if you are a true devil, it is better to do less than to do more."
"So, dear ***, let's continue drinking tea, cracking melon seeds, and see what tricks my subordinate Comrade Li can do in that remote crystal wall system."
