Chapter 336 Starfall VII(1/2)
The dusk is not over, but the streets are already crowded. The atmosphere of celebration seems to be spreading quietly and invisibly.
Of course, this desert day celebration is far less lively and hustle than the hustle and bustle he saw during the Dulun Winter Festival. The Istani people seemed to have their own independent view of the celebration. On the dusty streets, there were only pedestrians in groups of three or three, holding a glowing crystal in their hands, and they had quietly gathered in the direction of the palace - in the darkness, it was like a light dragon.
People often put fire, dryness and heat in the same context. Similarly, fire has a special meaning in desert culture. It seems to be in the same line with the creation myth of the Snake Man of the Cinsas - the world was born from the flame, and all things will eventually die in a fire.
Fire is a sacred thing, the holy emblem of Android, and candlelight becomes a symbol of it. In the past, the people of the desert always carried candlelight to participate in such celebrations, but after many fires, they gradually changed into light crystals, and fire and light complement each other, just like a pair of Gemini.
Walking in such a stream of light, you can clearly feel the uniqueness of Istani culture.
But Fang Zhu walked aimlessly along the flow of people towards the palace, without any thoughts watching this scene, but he only repeatedly pondered the previous conversation between Bishop Faris and himself.
...
What is the specific reason for him to accept the commission from Princess Rupert?
Of course, everyone needs it.
What other meaning can the convener complete the entrustment?
But in more detail, it should be for the Qihai Traveler, or furthermore - it is to fulfill the promise made to a lady a long time ago.
The smiley face appeared in his mind involuntarily. In his quiet and beautiful eyes, there were tranquility like a princess sleeping in his dreams. There should be roses and roses and thorns that thorn people. But she only smiled slightly, and everything turned into the moving sunshine in the afternoon, like a spreading book between tea cups, with gentle words written in the beautiful words.
He never thought that a person could occupy such an important position in his heart.
It seems that they have become accustomed to each other's existence inadvertently.
He gently stroked his collar, as if the slender hand was still there-
Fang Yu had an uncontrollable movement and anxiety in his heart. His heart was more like a wandering boat, rising and falling in these days - recklessness and impulse, worry and anxiety coexist, but he had to calm down at all times. Because he knew that this was just his own delusion - even if he lost news from others for a while, the possibility of any danger was not high.
Or maybe this kind of residual reason suppressed him from doing anything out of order, but as time went by, he really didn't know how long he could pretend to be nothing.
Without even realizing it, Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
After sighing, he was slightly stunned.
It turns out that I have already been worried to this level?
But after these thoughts passed through his mind one by one, they returned to the previous question. Of course, he understood that Bishop Faris asked himself this question, and his original intention was not this answer.
For adventurers, completing tasks does not require any special reason.
"But there must be some choice factor, right?"
In the hall, Farris's eyes flashed with a faint light. In the light brown old eyes, it was difficult for others to hide any real secrets. "Does the adventurers even take no hesitation to kill and set fire, a commission that harms the truth?"
"Of course," Fang Yu felt that the other party's question was purely unnecessary. "The Adventurer Guild is also..."
"But such adventurers do exist, right?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. Is the other party's intention to say this?
But the old bishop looked at him with a slight smile, and seemed to have no intention of accusation.
He thought for a while before nodding slowly: There are scum everywhere, and adventurers are not nobler than other professions, and even more good and bad.
But the Seven Seas Brigade will never be like this.
Suddenly, Fang Yuming understood what the other party meant.
The parties to the contract do choose each other, and he also has the right to accept the entrustment or not. The reason why he likes this task is indeed because of the rich reward. But more importantly, not to mention the eldest princess - even if it is an ordinary daughter, who is worried about his mother's bizarre death and demands that the former murderer pay the price - isn't this normal?
In essence, it is precisely because of one's own identification that one accepts this task.
After hearing Fang Yu's answer, Faris smiled slightly:
"So you think your choice is just to agree to His Royal Highness's request, right?"
"You can't say justice, either," Fang Rong replied. "But at least it's wrong, right?"
"Why are you so sure?"
Is there any other reason for this?
It is neither contrary to the Stargate Declaration nor the laws of Istaniya, nor contrary to the universal values that people recognize.
It may not be very noble to each person to get what he wants, but it is a mistake to say that he can't say that he can't say that he is wrong?
But Bishop Faris still looked dull, pointing out this point: "Is it, but the law of Istaniya was written by the King of Sand. You have not violated it today. What about tomorrow? Besides, Ed, now you are in the gap between the King of Sand and His Highness the Princess. If they are opposite, where will you help?"
"The King of the Sand is the master of Istaniya, an ally recognized by Kaurin-Ishurien, and naturally the only legal ruler of Istaniya recognized by 'you'. If His Highness clearly opposes his father and even splits the kingdom, will you violate your declaration?"
Fang Zhu opened his mouth.
He was a little speechless for a moment because he had never considered this issue from this direction.
In his opinion, the contradiction between the Great Princess and the King of Sand will never rise to the level of the nation and the country, but is just a contradiction within the royal family.
But he suddenly realized that he had thought it simple, how could the contradictions within the royal family come to a simple statement? How could the internal struggle of the Kaolin royal family come to its present situation? Isn’t it a lesson from the past, and it is vivid in my mind?
He couldn't help but be stunned.
"But..." He hesitated: "We are just an employment relationship with the eldest princess...and we won't..."
"Won't you intervene so deeply?" the old bishop asked back.
Fang Zhu nodded.
"But what about your companions?"
"They're still in it?"
Fang Zhu frowned.
The old bishop shook his head and relaxed: "...I didn't say that someone was going to force you to stand on the side of this matter, but have you made a choice in your current actions?"
"You don't want to get involved, but that's the case."
Facing the old bishop's indifferent gaze, Fang Yu was speechless.
But the other party said slowly: "Do you think you are obviously right?"
"You did not do anything wrong - whether you use it or not, the King of Sand has stepped into the forbidden zone. His Royal Highness just wants the truth about his mother's death. It sounds like a normal thing. She did not use you, and she might not even know it at the beginning."
"...You are just getting involved because of a misunderstanding."
Fang Yu asked in a silence: "Does Bishop Faris think I did something wrong?"
But he didn't think so in his heart.
He asked himself about his decisions and could pass his conscience.
Faris glanced at him and shook his head unexpectedly: "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
Fang Zhu looked at the other party in surprise.
Faris replied slowly, "I guess there must be a knight of Goddess around you, right?"
"They must have told you about the definition of justice, right?"
The old bishop's eyes shone with a light of unknown significance.
Fang Yu's thoughts suddenly returned to a long time ago.
That was Elpahin, and the Big Cat Man did say similar things to him.
The justice pursued by Marland's followers is nothing more than not defiance of their original intention. To pursue what they think is correct, as long as you stick to the bottom line, you will not lose your direction-
But why did Bishop Faris talk about this to himself at this moment?
He looked at the other person in a little puzzled manner.
The old man seemed to read the confusion in his eyes and gently patted his shoulder.
"The goddess cannot predict the future, and as her believer, she is naturally not good. She dares not tell the right and wrong of a thing, and it is normal for you to feel confused when you go deep into it, but as long as you remember what you think today, at least you won't lose your position-"
"Just remember--Goddess is actually a fair seeker, not an arbitrator."
"Didn't you ask Xu Yi, who you want to ask Goddess? That's it."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
He had always doubted the intentions of the temple, and then suspected that Ms. Marlan had the purpose of saying that she had chosen for God.
Because he has never believed that there will be free lunch in this world, how could a god who looks down on sentient beings take a fancy to him for no reason and give him benefits?
But Faris's words all explained the doubts in his heart. It turned out that the other party had never deceived him from the beginning. Ms. Marlan chose him because his behavior was in line with the definition of his doctrine. If he insisted on his original intention, everything he did was the result that Marlan wanted to see.
If one day even himself changes, the goddess's favor will naturally leave him.
Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This goddess has a good plan.
But he had to accept that he could not object to the point of opposition, and this was also beneficial to him, and it was also a win-win situation.
But he understood that the goddess must have won more. Is he the only one in the world who behaves in line with his teachings? Of course not. Not to mention the distance, the Big Catman and Sir Dictor are much more upright and more capable than him, but why doesn't the lady choose them?
Fang Rong knew in his heart that it was not because he had control over Cang Zhihui.
After all, the disaster is coming, and the gods have arrived—
The gods of Orin must be preparing. The closer those who are to the line of the misfortune star come, the more they are favored by the gods. Then, according to the character of these people, they find the people whose doctrines are consistent and divide their own choices.
