Chapter 242 The Death of the Holy Light (20) Persuasion
This story has written 20 chapters... It is indeed beyond my expectations. I am still not very satisfied with this chapter, but from yesterday's modification to now, this version will be the final version. I think if I ask for leave today and continue to modify it, you will definitely complain about me.
So that's it...
-----
After the last scene, they were brutally popped out of the dream. Judging from the rapid and hard force, the owner of the dream is in a very, very bad mood at this moment.
They woke up from their sleep and returned to the Kingdom of Lahta, where the dead wandered everywhere. Before them was the broken municipal hall. Marshal Lucas, who had been reincarnated as a Knight of Death, stood behind them with a thick dark armor.
Father Valentine, who was reincarnated as a lich, exuded a holiness that was incompatible with all the lives of the city—including himself—and stared at them calmly, and said, "This is all the story about the city."
Yang Hai and others were unable to respond for a while and fell into an awkward silence.
"This world is never fair." Father Valentine turned around, and the starry ray of light rose up in the holy robe, staring at the outline of the door opposite the ruins: "Faruya is the greatest human being I have ever seen. Everything he did should be remembered in history books for future generations to admire. His descendants should be proud of it. But now he sleeps silently in the dark city of the king, guarding an evil spirit at the cost of his own disappearance. Faroya has done everything that mortals can do. He allows miracles to happen, but in the end, he still cannot escape this damn fate."
"It's not his fault." General Lucas was depressed and whispered: "In the end, the culprit who made Rahta's people turn into undead, and the culprit who struggled in the ancient city was not Moretti. They were those rat-like alchemists!"
"What's the difference?" the priest asked back, "What has changed after we paid this price?"
Lucas fell silent.
Their efforts have not changed anything, and Sephron's curse has been fulfilled. There is no secret in the staring of truth. The people of Rahta have suffered thousands of years in the flames of hell, wandering alone in a dead city, without seeing the light of heaven.
"It's been so many years, can't you understand such a simple truth?" The soul fire in Valentine's eyes burst into flames: "No matter what effort and change you make, what should happen will happen. Things that shouldn't happen will never happen. If that's the case, what's the point of taking these people in?"
Lucas looked up, not sure how to refute this sentence.
"Go and ask him!" Valentine's hand suddenly pointed at Yang Hai: "This guy is Evans' believer, right? Then he should know the most clearly. If the ending is already destined and you can't get in, what's the difference?"
"What are you afraid of?" Yang Hai asked back: "Are you afraid that after waking up General Faroya, can he not accept all this?"
Father Valentine was silent.
"Faruya did not see the destruction of the Kingdom of Rahta with his own eyes. He must have fallen into an eternal sleep with the expectation of reversing his destiny and blessings for this land." Yang Hai said calmly: "You can't bear to let General Faroya know the truth about the destruction of Rahta. You are afraid of this moment."
The priest did not refute. He just said nothing.
"As for what you said, what the so-called wise men in white clothes, what are the consequences and other things, you can only hear them know that they are nonsense." Yang Hai complained about his uncle's expressionlessly. "If I work hard to do the same thing, and if I don't do it, of course there will be different results; it's like plowing the fields. I cultivate carefully and sow the race and let it fend for themselves. How can the harvest be the same?"
Father Valentine turned around suddenly and stared at Yang Hai.
"Then how do you explain what happened in Rahta?" the priest shouted. "Didn't we try? Have we changed anything?"
Several teammates frowned. They subconsciously felt that the priest was wrong, but let them say something wrong... They couldn't figure it out for a moment. Everything that happened in the dream looked like evidence of what Senior Carlyle said about the "doctrine of the sage in white".
"Of course." Yang Hai looked at Father Valentine's eyes without hesitation: "The moment you seal the evil spirits, the so-called destined result has been changed."
"But I didn't see it." Father Valentine said coldly.
"It's so stupid!" Yang Hai said without hesitation: "Why can't you understand such a simple truth? So many things happen in this world every day, are your eyes only on the fate of the Kingdom of Rahta?"
"What does it mean?" Marshal Lucas asked in a deep voice.
He actually didn't understand, but his voice was hopeful in his doubts. This simple-minded marshal would not be entangled in the philosophy of life and the mystery of the sage in white, he only knew that the people of Rahta were innocent and that they deserved redemption. For this great marshal, nothing more important than this.
"The demise of the Kingdom of Lahta is just one of the countless things that have happened in this world."
Yang Hai explained: "You think your efforts are meaningless? That's a big mistake. The Kingdom of Rahta was finally destroyed. This is true, the result has not changed, but the process has been changed. Without your efforts, the evil spirits would continue to manipulate Moretti. Morets would kill you, ascend the throne, establish an empire, and conquer the continent; more wars would appear, more innocent people died, and more peaceful countries would ignite wars; maybe in the end Morets were stopped by another person, maybe Moretti would eventually become a puppet emperor, and the entire continent fell into the rule of this evil spirit, so he was worshipped by cultists, and went to the ridge of the world and became a new god. No one could tell this kind of thing."
"But what does this have to do with us?" Father Valentine said coldly.
"In this world, nothing happens in isolation." Yang Hai waved his hand: "There are many processes in which a thing happens, and each process will be affected countless times. Sephron just saw the fate of Rahta with the help of the eyes of truth. The so-called curse... Anyway, you don't really understand the classification of spells, so I won't explain to you what the curse means. The nonsense he said is just curse at best.
, it has nothing to do with the curse. The evil spirit was not summoned by him. It was just that Evans responded to the prayers of his believers and brought down magic in the distance. That's all. If you defeat the evil spirit, Lahta will not perish? This idea is really too naive. There are many reasons for the demise of Lahta, so many that you can't imagine. Because of your own experience, you think that the reason why this country will be destroyed is only because of the foolish king. The prime minister and the evil spirits are in trouble. This is too one-sided."
Yang Hai paused and said, "I don't think the doctrine of the wise man in white is correct, nor do I think the path of my God is wrong. Only when they do not have enough knowledge can they be afraid of fate; only when they reach the peak and end of their knowledge, they realize that they are a passerby. This statement is ridiculous."
"Maybe you are right, but what does it mean to us?" Father Valentine said coldly: "Rahta has become like this."
"But it was your efforts back then that did not completely disappear into the long river of history." Yang Hai said calmly: "Lahta survived in the end. Although the wandering dead had experienced thousands of years of loneliness, they still survived."
"Do you call this alive?" Father Valentine sarcastically.
"Not count. But your efforts have won the opportunity to get redemption for this country." Yang Hai said sincerely: "If you gave up back then, whether Moretti was king or not, or failed to succeed in his army, Lahta must have turned into ruins, and your people eventually turned into loess; but at least now, your souls are still intact. Looking up at the light in this dark ancient city."
Father Valentine fell silent.
"Now, the seal of the star world has loosened." Yang Hai said: "On your head," Yang Hai pointed to his head: "It is one of the largest cities on the mainland in this era. The living and the dead have always hated each other. The city lord has asked for help everywhere, waiting for you to return to the world and then completely purify you undeads." Yang Hai made a gesture to stop the explosion of momentum and was about to roar, Marshal Lucas, who was about to roar: "You are very, very strong, I have never seen a Dharma before."
General Luya, I don’t know what he is doing now, but the Marshal and the Priest, you two are enough to make Golden Tooth City pay a heavy price. But you will definitely not be able to win this war. The city lord’s father is the Mithril City Lord, he is a legend of the mainland, and his friends are all over the world. What’s more, you are an ancient country of undead. Your birth will cause panic, and everyone will support Golden Tooth City." Yang Hai said, and repeated his conclusion: "You will definitely not be able to win this war."
Although Marshal Lucas didn't know what the world would look like in a thousand years, he would not think that Rahta's current power is enough to fight against the entire world, so the Marshal could only remain silent.
"So, it seems that you have not yet escaped the so-called "Sefron" curse." Yang Hai used the words to stimulate the Lich priest: "If you really believe in the destiny of something like destined, then I can't do anything. My friend will leave here now. Then... the seal of the astral realm completely disappeared and Rahta died completely. But, Father Valentine, if there is a little hope in your heart, if you don't want everything you did to lose meaning, if you feel that a thousand-year lonely waiting has a little value, if you think General Faroya has not sacrificed himself in vain, you should let us try it."
"What are you trying?" There was a hint of hesitation in Father Valentine's cold and firm tone.
"Try to pass through this gate, awaken General Faroya and eliminate evil spirits." Yang Hai said firmly: "We need General Faroya to use the crown of thorns to awaken the spiritual consciousness of all the dead in this city."
Also as the dead, if the spiritual consciousness is awakened, it will be no different from humans, as well as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and a world of difference from ordinary bones and zombies. Only when these dead people are freed from their wandering states can the Kingdom of Lahta be truly considered a kingdom.
"What then?" Lucas said angrily: "Then are we sober and purified by those people with holy light? If the seal of the astral realm is loose, we will return to our original place and we have nowhere to escape."
"It's not like that..." Yang Hai pursed his lips, rubbing a thing called "Leorick's Life Protection Box" with his hands, and said, "I will find you a new home in the Bone Plane. I will make a spell in the gaze of my god."
Thousands of years have passed, and Evans's name is still shocking.
Lucas and Valentine looked at each other and fell into deep thought. They were communicating with spiritual channels.
Yang Hai is actually very nervous at this moment. He often fools NPCs, but rarely plays so much. However, he really admires Father Valentine, Marshal Lucas and General Faroa, so he decided to do so.
Riorick protested in the soul vision. It is all high-sounding words: Yang Hai has only visited the Bone Plane once, so the so-called "new home" is naturally the altar of the Blass... Riorick has a million reasons to be upset. He is the greatest king in history, and the Blass Altar of the Blass is his holy land. In his opinion, even Valentine, Lucas and Faroa are not qualified to step into this land.
Yang Hai ignored Leorik.
Although there seems to be enough preparation time for the resurrection of the Grand Duke, level 50 has arrived. Will level 80 still be far away? Even if he thought with his feet, he knew how bloody this task would be. Without his own power, it would be impossible to resurrect the Grand Duke. Even from Yang Hai's perspective, these elite soldiers and generals in the Lahta Kingdom are rare to help. Missing this good opportunity and recruiting such powerful NPCs is almost impossible to complete.
So although his face was calm, he was really nervous.
Chapter completed!
