quicksilver blood

Chapter 318
The sun has risen for a long time, but still can not feel the warmth.

Too mild sunlight has no chance of melting the snow.The sky outside the window is still white, as if the snow field has spread from the horizon to the sky.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the morning that everyone gathered at the dining table and prepared to eat.

Because almost every kitchen will always have broth, so basically everyone in Farajo only eats two meals. The time points of these two meals are when the sun rises, fully illuminates the room, and when the sun sets.

Some hunters will go out to hunt in the early morning when the monsters are most active, and some hunters will go out to hunt in the noon when the monsters are most weak and lazy.Basically, if they make it back, they'll be in time for the meal.

Being able to eat on time is actually something to be thankful for in the view of the mountain people.

Even an old hunter with decades of experience dare not say that he knows the habits of all monsters.Even in Sodom, a small mountain city with only a few hundred people, someone would definitely die every month while hunting.

Death is so close to daily life here that the mountain people don't have too much fear of death.

After asking his wife to go to each room to inform the guests to eat, Kang Ding sat down at an extremely slow speed.His lips were tightly pursed, the muscles on his face tensed, and his eyes were full of thoughts.

The prayer was probably over. At this time, Roland opened the door and came out of his room. While walking down the stairs slowly, he raised his hand to straighten his somewhat messy hair.

"Morning, Kangding."

"...Good morning to you, Bishop Roland."

Something seems wrong with the sound?

Roland raised his head in confusion, but happened to see Kandin's livid face.

"What's the matter, Contin?"

Roland walked down the stairs quickly and asked with concern.

Kang Ding just shook his head.

His voice was full of depression: "The city lord did not find someone to remove the fuel wood...not a single piece of it."

Having said this, he stopped abruptly and did not continue talking.

But what he meant was very clear—under such a harsh winter, no one has an easy life.From the moment the temperature drops to the point where meat can be stored in the basement, until the monsters disappear on the eve of the snow season, in just a few days, even the best hunters cannot store enough food for many people to survive the winter.

It's also good if you bring wood burning.Although it is much easier to store fuel wood in comparison, it is not impossible for the fuel wood to be consumed early due to various reasons.It would be more convenient for the family of three of the baker to bring fuel wood to find someone to spend the night with.

To have compassion for them means that your family members will die due to lack of food—under such circumstances, no one will accept three people living in their own home empty-handed without any reason.Even if these three are neighbors, it is impossible.

But now, the baker's family was taken out by the city lord, and the person who agreed to move the three logs away has not been seen for a long time...

At this point, no matter how stupid Kang Ding is, he still knows how those three people are being treated now.

If there is no accident, I am afraid that they have abandoned their corpses in the wilderness now... That child may be adopted by someone, but that glib little brother and his fat and fat wife basically have no possibility of surviving. .

Roland also sighed slightly.

However, Roland didn't sigh for those two people he didn't know before.

He is sighing for Kang Ding's kindness.

Roland is not the kind of person who would hate kindness and justice.Rather, on the contrary, Roland greatly appreciates and longs for that spirit.

It's like a person who has been in a wheelchair for a long time dreams of a track and field athlete.Roland didn't have this part of the talent from the beginning.

With the death and resurrection, Roland's memory became more and more complete.

Roland began to realize who he was.Since then, the blind resentment towards the world because of the disappearance of my sister has gradually cooled down.

Thinking back now, when Roland was still in Mystery at the beginning, there was no reason for Roland's hatred of the good.It's as stupid as a child's toy being bitten by a dog, and then hating all dogs in the world.

Even if it is to save the world, Roland must not take killing for granted.That is the ultimate fear of destroying another's life, the limit of the evil that can be wrought on a human being.To put it bluntly, Roland has become the kind of person he once hated the most.

If Roland really built up his own armed force, he would be at the forefront when the earth crumbles, the sky splits open, the sea turns into blood, and the smell of sulfur and scorched earth fills every corner of the world. , Repelling all the demons and the dusk, it will never erase the blood stained on Roland's hands along the way.

Gong is merit, and fault is fault.Even if Roland is a saint who guides people to re-establish their faith and a hero who resists the invasion of demons, people must not ignore the fact that Roland is also an executioner with bloody hands.

If everything goes well, Dusk is repelled, the world order is rebuilt, everything is prosperous, and people can finally escape from the sanctuary of Farns and find a new planet, that will be what happens after Roland rests.

Roland was not surprised. After he rested in peace, even 1000 years later, scholars of later generations would definitely denounce Roland's tyranny and cruelty.

Some people are born to watch the world burn.But Roland is not that kind of person.

And Roland also had a deeper understanding of his mission.

It is not enough to restore the world to its millennia ago glory.If Roland could only achieve this level, the entire Farnese world would have been stagnant for a full 1000 years—Roland had to achieve a better level than this.

Before Farnese was born, this world had already been destroyed.After the destruction of his own world, the true god Aum established Farnes with the heritage of his world.This spherical shelter is like an egg in a boiling soup, and apart from Farnes, there is nothing in the whole world except Dusk.

In fact, before the official reveal of Farnes' worldview, some players had already guessed part of it.

After all, in the astral language, the symbol "Farnes" not only means "refuge", but also means "greenhouse" and "petri dish".If it is not a simple duplicate name, this has already explained the meaning of the existence of Farnes World.

It's not enough for Roland to restore Ya'an Baizhong to its glory thousands of years ago.That's just a palliative.

The meaning of Farnes' existence is to pass on the destroyed world again.Until the abilities of the creatures inside Farnes have developed to the point where they naturally discover that Farnes is a closed and limited space, until the beings inside Farnes realize the danger of the dusk, and find enough to escape from the dusk that has been destroyed. The way to destroy the world so far.

The glory of thousands of years ago can only show that people are walking on the right path.From a strict point of view, people thousands of years ago were not as advanced as people today—at least the Starcaller has discovered the truth of the Farnese world.And this is a progress that cannot be ignored, which is equivalent to opening a new era.

If Roland can solve all the hidden dangers of Farnes and lead people back to the only way of life, then that kind of glory will naturally reappear; conversely, if Roland does not solve the hidden dangers and If there is a loophole, then even if he reproduces that glory, the world will still repeat the same mistakes after his death.

Before, Roland just wanted to survive the Twilight Invasion, and then use religion to unify the world and rebuild the world, but now Roland finally realized that he was still too immature.

Not to mention the possibility of unifying the world, considering the arrival of dusk as an inevitable event from the beginning already illustrates the narrowness of Roland's vision.

After being reborn ten years ago, Roland could fundamentally eliminate the possibility of dusk falling.There are only two major loopholes in the world of Farnes. If N'Zoth, who will degenerate into Dusk, is killed in the future, and all the cultists who believe in Higgs are wiped out, Dusk will never find the world of Farnes. Where.

This is undoubtedly a much heavier burden than before.But Roland had to recite it.

However, even though he was so deeply aware that he was on the wrong side, Roland had to take this wrong road.

Just like what Roland said before his execution.Roland didn't want to save the world...but had to save the world.

Because he is Roland.It is the elector of the mentor and the pope, and the master of Elcardo, the younger brother of the Silver Queen, and the future king of Elcate... But Roland wants to save the world, these people add up to only half of the reasons That's all.

The more reason is just because Roland wants to save the world.

Just like Kandin and Xiao Lim sitting in front of him.

Roland liked these lovely people.Roland would be sad if they died.Even for his own happiness, Roland must save the world.

If I must describe it...

"I'm probably just a savior out of interest."

Roland whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
