Dimensional Code

Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned, but he didn't say much after that.

"In short, let's go and see first."

At this moment, the elves have been moved out of the cave by the girls. With the help of Fina and others, these elves have changed into ordinary robes and boots, which are also spare parts that the girls bring when they go out. They are thinner than humans, so these clothes can still be worn.

But right now, these elves were leaning against the tree trunks, falling into a peaceful slumber.

There are also a few elves covered in white cloth and placed by the river on the other side. They are the part that was brutally killed by goblins. Right now, Fang Zheng saw the one big, two small and three that he rescued from the cave. An elf girl was kneeling in front of these corpses, praying in a low voice, and could even vaguely hear their cries.

"I think I can understand their grief."

Holding the scepter in her hand, Fina stood quietly beside Fangzheng, watching the scene not far away with complicated eyes.

"I had a similar experience. It was obviously just an ordinary patrol, saying goodbye to my friends and working the same as before, but suddenly it was so separated... In contrast, when dealing with evil On the battlefield of believers, it is easier to accept death. After all, at that time, everyone was already mentally prepared for this. But now..."

Fina didn't continue talking, but Fangzheng also understood what she meant.It's like in modern times, if you are killed by a stray bullet in a chaotic battlefield, it is not surprising at all, but if you go out to buy groceries and come back and accidentally get involved in a car accident, then your relatives and friends It's hard to accept this fact.

"why?"

But at this moment, Katie's voice came from the side. Although she kept her figure hidden as always, both Fangzheng and Fina could hear the sadness and doubt in Katie's tone.

"Why are those evil monsters allowed to survive in this world? Isn't the goddess of order a good god? Why would she allow such monsters to live in the world of order?"

"This………"

Facing Katie's inquiry, Fina opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.On the contrary, Fangzheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

"Order has no distinction between good and evil. In fact, there is nothing that is destined to do what it is born to do. Angels and demons are equally part of order, and we humans are the same, but there are also good and bad people among humans. Wolves are cunning, insidious and ferocious animals, and to rabbits they are no different from demons. The same goes for these goblins, they are indeed evil, as annoying as rats in the gutter, but they are also in this world after all a part of………"

"Then... how do you tell the good from the bad?"

"It's simple."

Faced with this question from Katie, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth were slightly raised.

"That depends on your own choice."

"My own...choice?"

"That's right, just like human beings, no one stipulates that human beings are born as good people in the camp of order. You can be a good person, or you can be a villain. You can be a murderous killer, or you can be a rescuer." The priest of the world. You can be greedy and lustful, or you can work hard. You can choose to fight for order, or learn from those cultists and run to be the little brother of chaos. This is your own choice, your own decision, order It does not bind your will, even if it is the same birth, the same foundation, there will be different results."

Having said this, Fangzheng spread his hands.

"The same goes for those goblins. They chose this path, so they are doomed to be wiped out one day, just like what I did. And I also chose this path, so To kill these goblins and save the victims. If I choose to be a selfish person, then I can act as if I didn't see anything to avoid trouble and just turn around and leave these elves And they may be tortured to death by these goblins, or they may be saved by their companions, these are all choices, yours, mine, everyone's choice, this is life."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katie fell into silence, while Fina also held the scepter tightly, then she raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng.

There was a certain determination in those eyes.

"So, Mr. Fangzheng, what if you make the wrong choice?"

"There is no wrong choice in this world. Some people's dream is to save the world, and some people just want to watch the world burn. Right and wrong are not the point. What others think is right, maybe you don't think so, the same, What you think is right may mean nothing to someone else."

Faced with Fina's question, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.

"The point is, they have to accept the consequences of their choices, it's as simple as that."

Chapter 337 Gradually Chaotic Forest (V)

After that, Katie didn't make a sound again. Perhaps Fang Zheng's "life motto" was too shocking for this young lady who walked out of the house for the first time, and she had already found a place alone in a daze.And Fina seemed to have thought of something, she sat by the stream without saying a word, holding the scepter tightly, quietly watching the river flowing down.

Only Nimf, Hai Lien and the astrologer sister are still busy taking care of those elves.Fangzheng also asked Nimfu if he could heal the pain in the hearts of these elves just like blocking the memory of the mage in the forest.However, Nimf told him hesitantly that forcibly distorting and changing the mental memory of others might bring uncontrollable consequences, so Fang Zheng had no choice but to give up in the end.

Fortunately, not long after that, because the patrol team did not return for a long time, the people in the elf village also organized a rescue team to look for it, and after seeing the signal from the elf girl, they joined Fangzheng and his party, and now... ...

"I have learned everything from my countrymen, and thank you for your help, stranger."

An elf wearing emerald green leather armor, a cloak, and a longbow jumped down from a branch like a dexterous cat, landed firmly in front of Fang, and then respectfully saluted him as an elf.

"Although the child did not describe to us in detail what happened to our compatriots, we have learned from the wind what happened to them. Thank you for avenging my compatriots and saving them from their tragic fate. rescued from it."

"Not so polite."

Looking at the elf in front of him who seemed to be a year or two older than himself, but with an old-fashioned tone like a weather-beaten sage, Fang Zheng smiled helplessly.

"I am also a paladin, and I will still draw my sword to help when the road is uneven."

"Paladin………"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the elf blinked curiously, and carefully looked at Fang Zheng's clothes --- well, the clothes were indeed far from those of a paladin.

"In any case, you and your companions saved our people. Of course, we will not lose courtesy to you. Please come to the village with us. At least... let us entertain you to express our gratitude."

"This... Miss."

Facing the elf in front of him, Fangzheng hesitated for a moment. Although he could guess that the elf in front of him might be ten times his age, he still used such a word cautiously.

"Perhaps you have heard from your companions that my companions and I came here for the assessment mission of the Alliance of Order, and our destination is the snow peak. We have no intention of staying in the Forest of Life for long It might not be good to bother everyone... After all, your fellow clansmen have encountered such a thing... It seems that they are not in the mood to entertain us."

"Anyway, they survived."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the elf captain looked at Fang Zheng much softer.

"Although a few compatriots returned to the embrace of mother nature to sleep, most of them survived in the end, and did not swallow their last breath in despair under the wanton abuse of those evil and ugly monsters. Of course, I I also know that the next life will be difficult for them, but I believe that my compatriots will overcome all this, as long as they are alive, there is hope."

Speaking of this, Captain Elf paused for a moment, then glanced at the others behind Fangzheng.

"So, you are our benefactors, we will not repay you, and it is already afternoon, it will be very dangerous to enter the ice and snow peak at this time. Moreover, as residents here, although we are most of the time The activities are in the forest, but we are still a little more familiar with the situation on the top of the ice and snow than outsiders. Maybe we can still help you a little bit."

"In that case, then I would be more respectful than obedient."

Now that the elf captain said it was for this reason, Fangzheng would naturally not refuse any more.And what the other party said is not wrong, after all, they are new here, and if it comes to familiarity with this place, it is natural to rely on dwarves and elves.Moreover, in the village of the elves, maybe some clues about the entrustment can also be found.

The reason why he refused before was just to avoid embarrassment. It would be fine if he was simply killed, but in Fangzheng's opinion, the atmosphere of the whole village must not be much better after so many elves have encountered such "restricted level" things. However, these outsiders should not go to make fun of themselves.But now it seems that his understanding of the elves seems to be too little.

Of course, the girls were very concerned about the elves' invitations. After all, elves are a race that seldom go out and have contact with humans. In many cases, they are only seen in some border areas.The homeland of the elves is even more of a mystery to other races, but even so, there are stories about the beautiful dream of the homeland of the elves among many bards.

Therefore, the girls were very happy that they and others could be invited into the gathering place of the elves, and since no one objected, Fang Zheng naturally couldn't say anything, so he followed the elves to their village.

The gathering place of the elves is located by a calm stream in the depths of the forest of life, but it is different from the huge gathering place that everyone imagines. This is just a small village with more than 100 elves, which can be seen everywhere on the towering ancient trees Made out of branches and vines, it resembles a yurt-like hut.Although it does not have the patchwork beauty of a human city, it has a unique and exquisite natural style.

And when Fangzheng and the others entered the village, the other elves who stayed in the village had already come to greet them at the entrance of the village. They didn't say anything, but sang a quiet song in elf language in a low voice.

"It's a song of tranquility."

Listening to the singing in her ears, Fina explained to the others in a low voice.

"This is the song that the elves sang for the returning brave after the battle. In order to make the souls of those elves who died in the battle peaceful, and to welcome other elves back home safely."
