Chapter 59. Transformation in a desperate situation
Killing will make you lose yourself in the end.
Chalmers stood at the entrance of the cave. The cave in front of him was dark and dim, and it was difficult to see what was going on inside with the naked eye, but Chalmers was very clear about the situation inside.
That girl did really well, and Chalmers couldn't find too many faults. If he were the same age and arrogant, he might not be able to do better than her.
When she was in danger several times, Chalmers tried to save her, but she was able to save herself from danger before Chalmers drew his sword.
As a sword master who has taught countless heroes, Chalmers believes that he can accurately calculate the limits of his disciples' abilities and give them the correct guidance.
Euthynia L. Timothy, the daughter of the former First Trial Canon, was an exception. Chalmers could not calculate her limits. Whenever he thought the task he assigned was heavy enough, this girl would always
She can still perform well, and it seems that she still has endless potential that has not yet been developed.
Of course, this girl herself is a special case. She is not only a "genius" that surpasses all ordinary people, but also a "chosen one" who is favored by the gods.
Chalmers heard everything about this girl from Steele's letter. Steele said that she was the savior who was prophesied to reverse the fate of the world. However, Chalmers did not believe the so-called prophecy.
The things in the prophecy may not necessarily happen, and the existence of the prophecy itself is often a part of the realization of the prophecy. Chalmers did not have much expectations for Nia at first, and only took good care of her as an orphan of an acquaintance, but as he grew more and more interested in the girl
Chalmers became increasingly surprised and began to believe that the so-called prophecy might actually be in front of him.
Pope Steele believes that fate is determined by God, while Chalmers believes that fate is determined by man. Steele believes that God can determine the outcome, and people cannot change their fate even if they give everything they have. Chalmers believes that God may
The outcome can be determined, but people can determine the process.
Even if fate is destined for people to fail, as long as they try their best, they can have an experience without regrets.
I think back then, this tall and strong old man was once a hero and the savior in people's hearts. As a sword master, he had never been defeated in hundreds of battles. His opponent had never been able to make him give up a head-on fight and win.
But there was an exception more than ten years ago.
That person was the Dark Lord Karl. When he cut off Karl's head, he did not attack from the front. Instead, like a dishonorable assassin, he gave the dying Dark Lord the final blow from behind.
This was the only battle that he didn't want to be mentioned. Even though the world praised his bravery for defeating thousands of armies with one sword in this battle, Chalmers believed that his swordsmanship was stained with dirt and ended in the Black Tide.
Later, Chalmers resigned from all positions and titles and began to retire to the mountains.
However, someone suddenly told Chalmers: After the "Black Tide" ended, the world was still in danger, and there was something more terrifying than the Dark Lord brewing in the dark.
Chalmers believed this statement. After retiring, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers and saw with his own eyes that the suffering in the world did not stop because of the death of the Dark Lord.
In famine areas, the fields are still harvestless, and people are still relying on tree bark and soil to satisfy their hunger; in barbaric lands, gloomy cultists are still beguiling ignorant people, asking them to sell their flesh and souls to the devil; in the rich midland, farmers
Still worrying about their livelihood, the nobles live a luxurious life without realizing the suffering of the people...
The Dark Lord is not the source of suffering. Poor people remain poor, and humble slaves remain humble.
Although countless demons and monsters that wreaked havoc on the human world have retreated into dark corners after losing the leadership of the Dark Lord, they have never given up their dream of becoming the masters of the world. The end of the "Black Tide" only resulted in a period of fatigue between the enemy and ourselves.
Just a long truce.
There are ancient creatures roaring in the glaciers in the far north. There are rumors that the ancient gods are awakening from their long sleep. The frightened orcs migrate south, triggering wars with various races;
A new generation of demon kings was born among the exiled demons in the West Island. He was deeply favored by the demon god and was said to have the power to rival the first generation of demon kings. The demons in the West Continent were training their demon soldiers day and night, waiting for the time to come and invade the mainland;
The dragon clan in Middle-earth is also about to move. Those undead dragons that should have been sleeping have begun to wake up one after another due to some unknown reasons;
In the south, earthquakes occur frequently on the Ancestral Spirit Island in the hinterland of the elves. After a huge earthquake, the whole island showed signs of sinking. After that, elves witnessed fire-breathing creatures that had never been recorded...
Various abnormal events occur frequently, much more frequently than in the past.
Uneasy emotions are spreading all over the world, and the wise men who care about the world are holding their heads and sighing. Only the ignorant people can still keep smiling today.
So what about tomorrow? What about in the further future? Can the world maintain this precarious peace? Can people still maintain a smile full of hope?
Chalmers didn't know, and he didn't want to think too much. The future of the world was no longer something he, a declining old man, could protect.
The future of the new era must be handed over to the young people of the new era.
Chalmers looked into the deep cave. He knew that the girl was resting in a stone cave. Her body was covered in blood. Frequent fighting had also made her physically weak. The ferocious monsters in the cave were frantically looking for her.
There were no traces of her, but the gaze cast from her eyes was full of energy, as if she was excited by this situation.
Chalmers put away his mental detection power, closed his eyes and murmured:
"Nia, you grow up very fast."
"All opponents are your nourishment. The stronger they are, the stronger you will be if you defeat them."
"But don't forget it."
"Killing will devour people's hearts. If you are not careful, you will be bewitched by killing and lose your original self."
