Chapter 136: Respected as God
After hearing this, Kino smiled helplessly and said: "I really can't control what other people say about me and how they see me. I just want to say that if you have the opportunity to go to Twilight City, you can ask any civilians and they will definitely
I will tell you - Administrator Chino is hard-working and sincere, conscientious and responsible in his work, and is a very elegant and easy-going person."
"But, I heard that many people are afraid of you." Solandel sat up straight and asked tentatively, "Do you have a silver moon on your body?"
"Yes." Kino took out a silver moon.
Solandel looked at Silver Moon and murmured: "Yes, yes, that's it. Many people are afraid of you because of this. It is said that if someone commits a crime, you will ask him to guess the front and back of Silver Moon. Guess correctly.
Just let them live, or execute them if they guess wrong."
Kino: "That's right."
Solandel: "Can I ask the reason?"
Kino rotated the silver moon back and forth between his fingers and said slowly: "The reason is very simple. For me, some principles cannot be violated, and once violated, it is a death penalty. But I am not the kind of unreasonable lunatic, for example
...A person makes a mistake in front of you, but sincerely apologizes and asks for forgiveness. For such polite people, I cannot directly take away their lives, I must give them a chance."
Kino held the silver moon and showed it in front of Solandel: "This opportunity must be absolutely fair. Everything in the world can deceive people, but there is only one thing that cannot, and that is mathematics. The king on the front, the laurel on the back,
The probability difference is negligible, half and half, absolutely fair."
Solandel nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, she asked expectantly: "Can I play this game once?"
Kino took back Silver Moon and simply shook his head: "No. This is not a game. If you guess wrong, I will have to kill you."
"Please~ don't be so serious, just let me play for once!" The little girl clung to Kino and launched a coquettish offensive.
Kino was unmoved: "It's really not possible. It's a matter of principle."
Solandel rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously: "If you let me play once, I will give you an apple tree from the garden. When the time comes, you can transport it back to Twilight City and plant it, and you can continue to eat this kind of apple tree."
Sweet apple~”
"Ding." The silver moon spun in the sky.
Kino caught it and put it on the back of his hand: "King or laurel?"
Solandel pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, staring at the back of Kino's palm, tilting her head left and right, very hesitant.
She scratched her little head and muttered: "The front of the moon coin is my ancestor - "Ancient King" Doguland I. My father said that he was a great founder of the country, so I have to believe him
!I choose the king!”
Kino opened his hand.
On the back of the palm, laurel flowers exude the fragrance of death.
Solandel knocked her head: "Ah, I'm dead."
Kino stretched out his hand to hold her throat, his amber eyes filled with a smile: "Then, farewell."
Solandel took Kino's wrist in a cooperative manner, shook her head, stuck out her tongue, and pretended to be strangled to death.
Kino was amused. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and subconsciously held Solandel's little hand: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Solandel giggled and said, "The water is cold, I feel cold everywhere now."
"Sorry, I was negligent." Chino stood up and brought over the hot water that the maid Maggie had just made.
When he brought it to the bedside, looking at Solandelle's beautiful feet soaked in the petal water bath, Kino hesitated for a while.
The white feet are as soft as boneless, like ice cream that has not yet melted. When passing through the water soaked in flower petals, the water droplets slide smoothly over the toes, occasionally being blocked by slightly raised veins.
It looks like a smooth pearl against the background.
After hesitating, Kino finally took off his gloves, put his hand into the cold water, held Solandel's slender white ankle, gently held the sole of the foot, and dipped it into the hot water basin next to it.
He reached into the water with one hand and massaged the acupuncture points on her soles, rubbing along the veins to promote blood circulation. With the other hand, he gently poured water on her ankles to warm her up faster.
Solandel looked at Kino who was leaning over and said softly: "I have heard some bad rumors about you before. They said you are a cold-blooded bad person. But I think you are not bad at all."
Kino's movements did not stop, nor did he raise his head: "You know, a long time ago, when someone met me, I would say a word to him."
"What?"
"It is your misfortune to meet me."
The surroundings are very quiet, the wind chimes are ringing gently, accompanied by the sound of trickling water.
Solandel's eyes were clear and firm. She reached out and touched Kino's head, and said obediently: "I promise you, I will never regard meeting you as a misfortune."
Kino said nothing and gently washed her feet.
When the timeless topic of good and bad was mentioned, Solandel suddenly thought thoughtfully: "I used to often hear other people say that so-and-so is a good guy and so-and-so is a bad guy. But after I read a lot of books, I feel that human nature
It’s actually very complicated, and it’s hard to define good and bad.”
Chino: "This topic is endless. Everyone has a set of standards in their mind. Personally, the way to define good or bad is to look at what a person has done in his life. Are these things respected or respected?
People are afraid.”
Solandel thought for a while and asked tentatively: "If a person only does respectable things throughout his life, he will be..."
Kino added: "Good man."
"So, if a person only does terrible things in his life, what kind of person is he?"
"Bad guy."
"What if what he does in his life is neither respected nor feared?"
"mortal."
"So..." Solandel paused for a while, then asked with wide eyes, "If everything a person does makes people both respected and feared, or in other words, awe-inspiring, what kind of person is he?"
Kino smiled softly, and his tone was as deep as the ocean: "If you find the answer, please tell me."
Solandel lowered her head and thought: "Well... I seem to really know an existence that awes everyone."
Kino: "Who?"
"The creator of words, the conqueror of the ancient dragon, the first spark of civilization, the light that lights up the abyss, the leader of the gods -" Solandel said three words repeatedly, "Sun King!"
Kino's eyes grew deeper and deeper: "In your opinion, why is the Sun King so awesome?"
Solandel murmured: "Let me think about it... I think the main thing is that whether a person is respected or feared, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just the difference between good and bad, there is no sense of isolation - in other words, this
In the eyes of the world, people are still 'human beings' and are the same kind as mortals."
"But once this person has done something beyond the reach of ordinary people, and while being respected by others, his lofty achievements are also feared, this person will no longer be the same kind in the eyes of the world, but some kind of higher-level existence. If
To sum it up in one sentence——"
On the 30th day of Huixue in the year 512 of the Huoyao Calendar, a little girl living deep in the royal city uttered five words that changed the history of future generations: "Respect him as a god!"
The blood without temperature was boiling violently at this moment, and the sunlight shining in from the window continued to refract in Kino's eyes, like a mirror with waves.
From this moment on, the original development trajectory of the era was cut off and twisted into a completely unknown direction.
After a long silence, Kino stretched out his hand, held Solandel's toes, raised them to his lips, and left a kiss on the instep: "Thank you."
Solandel blinked: "Thank you for what?"
