Chapter 40: The Tragedy of Pursuit of Eternal Life
Even though Rampads is a god, he also has his own race and is a monster. How credible is the monster? Just like the six major god races may not all be human, two of them are not human, so the temple only believes in four
Great God.
In those years, the people who supported and followed the "Hell Fairies" did not have as many devout believers as they do today. Except for a few families such as Gu Ximont, most of the others were investors directly attracted by them.
You approach things with the perspective of making a deal with the devil, hoping to gain benefits from the "Hell Fairy". Because of this, you can't help but be wary of what the monster gives you for free.
However, God was angry because no one dared to accept the gift of eternal life.
The last ones who volunteered to go for the test were Ymiya and Count Lille, because they both knew that they were old, frail and sick, and did not have much time left to live, so they dared to take a gamble.
"You guys, try your best to recall your past, the most satisfying time, the happiest and most energetic moment."
After God made such a declaration, Imiya followed it exactly. Even if it was a scam, it was false. What was waiting for her might be to be killed, and then a monster that mimicked her went out and declared to have eternal life. She could only treat the revolving door as hospice care.
.
Then, she woke up and woke up as a monster.
However, she didn't know what she was, and the incompatibility between her memory and her new body made her a little uneasy: Did she directly transform from a human into a monster that appeared in her youthful form, or did she insert her soul into her new body?
Is it a monster whose appearance is modeled on memories, or is she just a monster that has acquired the memory of a human named Imya?
I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried, so I had to give up.
However, one thing is certain. The various senses of mission that she had no doubt about in her life have just disappeared. Instead, she has a sense of pleasure in saying to them, "Your free opportunity is gone, you deserve it."
She was like a girl who had not yet reached puberty. After returning to the mansion, she ran to her husband and couldn't wait to show off her extremely youthful appearance.
This is where the tragedy begins.
The husband is crazy.
Having already abdicated to retire, he began to compete for power with his son. At that time, Imya's husband was over 90 years old, and the current head of the family was naturally quite old. Even if the family spent all their resources, they could not provide the immortality quota for the two of them in a short time.
Even the in-laws want to join this battle.
Even Imiya, who wanted to say "you deserve it" before, couldn't stand it.
But even if she didn't mean anything malicious, it sounded more like ridicule.
Then, the devil's hand stretched out towards Imiya.
The Imperial Ministry of Magic is conducting experiments to transform humans into magical creatures in an effort to break through the limits of human magical literacy.
Some discarded dregs flowed out.
Imiah, who was tied up at home, could only watch as she was constantly being manipulated, coupled with those crappy techniques, to create a husband who seemed to have extended his lifespan but was hanging in a half-dead state.
"No, it's not over yet. This will buy time. During this time, our family will be able to make enough tribute to God and gain more opportunities to obtain eternal life!"
Half-hearted "immortality" means abandoning the human way of existence. If the way is inappropriate, the way of thinking will be fixed at that moment.
However, in order to achieve the fixed obsession, all the nobles who intend to compete for the quota must be squeezed out, and the consequences of doing so are obvious.
If they were younger, they might have made more rational judgments, but even their thoughts were temporarily fixed on having this obsession, and they could no longer listen to other opinions.
There is nothing wrong with this one.
Struggles between nobles have always existed. Nobles are allowed to have very few private armed forces. They are guarded by the emperor and the goblin temple. Nobles who compete based on their contribution will not form armed struggles regardless of their inner thoughts.
Obviously they didn't think so in their hearts, but the result was an increase in the number of people in the territory and an increase in income - in order to increase taxes and unique products that were more suitable for paying tribute, the people's lives were obviously improved.
The number of minor nobles also increased.
However, this is where the collapse begins.
What was the purpose of hoping for eternal life in the first place? Isn't it just to continue to enjoy the wealth and glory accumulated throughout my life? These are cellared wines that will make you addicted to the wonderful taste once you taste them, and you can't help yourself. In order to continue to make these wines more delicious
, you can give up everything except your life (the literal meaning of the two words taken separately).
So, what happens when this expansion is frozen? What is frozen is not the current pattern, but the expansion of desire itself. Moreover, time is extended infinitely forward.
A country is not infinitely large. Even if it develops on its own, it will take away from other people's cakes.
Such monsters are not allowed to exist in the outside world.
So, after this, Imya's son successfully came to power.
Before his son took office as the next Earl of Mayfair, he bowed his head deeply to his biological mother Imya, who looked younger than her, and said in a pleading tone with a fearful voice: "Mother, please
Yes, I know this request is extremely rude, but please, whatever kind of life you need, I will satisfy you, but can you please... stop appearing in the eyes of outsiders? "
Although Imiya was heartbroken, she also felt very lucky that her son was not crazy.
"I understand your difficulties, and I promise you, but... it would be great if I could have the opportunity to hug my great-grandchildren, hug them before they grow up, and walk in the sunshine." This is her only request.
That's all.
Even if the crime did not expand, the family would inevitably be demoted and declined, but she already felt that it didn't matter.
Even though the next few decades have passed without further decline, and it still played a role in the Hundred Days War, its power has only returned to about 60% of its heyday, which is now.
The above is the history that Yimiya told everyone.
……………………………………………………
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah," Nyxphia was about to fall asleep, lying on Chris's head and yawning.
The history of the merits and demerits of this kind of nobles has been recorded in the empire, and anyone who is willing to investigate can investigate it, but at most there are only a few words. The most that everyone can know is that the Fimmel family once did taboo research and was demoted.
For someone who doesn't care much about human history, if it doesn't involve things that have an impact on her life, brief information is enough. Even if the number of words is increased, it will not arouse interest.
However, such stories make the idle young ladies listen with gusto.
Of course, the young ladies just listened to it as if it were a story. Even if they felt pity or indignation, they would not feel the same way.
