Chapter 403: Kindness
"Player Super Justice ()"
- Specimen preservation technology.
Not in the form of text, nor video, nor experience.
Instead, it imitated the principle of "nightmare" and solidified an entire era.
"Because in this public nightmare, there is no main task, so even if you leave, you won't get any 'experience'...so it won't be purified."
Lin Yiyi explained to Hilda.
"...But it is also like a nightmare, it needs the support of the soul, right?"
Hilda hesitated: "And to support a nightmare of this scale, I'm afraid a few souls are not enough..."
"It doesn't matter."
Atalanta on the side shook her head: "Not everyone will die, but everyone will hope to be chosen. This is dedication and sacrifice, and it is undoubtedly [the best death]."
"Is this... kindness?"
But Jiu'er asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Atalanta was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked over.
She was a little surprised that she didn't make a sound for a long time.
Jiu'er happened to come across this term when he occasionally read the books transcribed by Longjing Tea.
For elves, "gods" are not lofty "gods" that need to be worshiped. This is a concept that the more ignorant Yassalans would have.
The elves call these extraordinary creatures who ascended in the light world "lords". That is, the holder of power, but not the spiritual guide.
The beliefs they hold are roughly related to dragons.
In addition to the "great fire" represented by Suifu, which is also the "flame way", there is also the "winter way"...that is, the "frost way". Then there is the relatively small belief, that is, the "good way".
The elves who believe in the "Great Fire" regard themselves as the "Hammer" and "Iron Felt", and are the "shapers" who shape the lives of others in the "Great Fire". Therefore, most elves who believe in the great fire will choose to become teachers or philosophers.
However, the elves who believe in the "way of winter" pay more attention to tradition-family, race, country, and world. They abide by laws and routines, enjoy a quiet and unchanging life, and hate meaningless "passionate acts", thinking that purifying their hearts and obeying the rules recognized by everyone will make meaningless desires become Plain and heavy, it brings you a peaceful life like "eternal winter".
Their general origins are related to the law, military and politics, and they will choose to be defenders or discipliners of the law, or become soldiers, or become lords.
Select officials based on morality and emphasis on the law—even if you go through the entire history of the Yatheran continent, only the elves will do this.
The ruling method of the elves is a political structure similar to the "sage king".
The "Emperor" is responsible for formulating and revising all laws, and is not responsible for any specific affairs, while various agencies and localities are only responsible for specific downward execution and upward feedback in accordance with the rules formulated by His Majesty the Emperor, so as to continuously make the laws The law is approaching perfection.
And in this case, a very small number of philosophies are born...or a special kind of belief.
During the imperial period, this belief did not have a formed missionary organization, so it belonged to a very small minority. This is not because mainstream belief suppresses it, but because the idea itself is not as diffuse as the other two.
"Great Flame" is a "hard worker" among the elves, who believes that "you must endure hardships if you want to become stronger"-this kind of concept is common sense for the later generations of Yaslan people, but for elves with spell power technology On the contrary, it is a kind of morality.
The Frost Road is the origin of the organization and unity of the elves. There may be elves who don't like effort, and therefore hate the claims of the Great Fire... but there are hardly any stray elves who don't approve of the Frost Way at all.
The unique "non-dragon worship thought" was recorded in books by scholars who studied elf culture after the empire was destroyed-this kind of idea,
It is called "good way" by the elves.
They do not worship the two most powerful and oldest "Dragon Lords", that is, Grandmother and Father Sui. Therefore, the essence of thought will not be absorbed from the two giant dragons.
Their point of view is, "Because the dragon is a two-phase species, the more chaotic the society, the stronger the dragon's desire; and the more peaceful the dragon is, the more lethargic and the milder the temper is. Therefore, the philosophy held by the dragon does not Not directly applicable to elven society."
They put more emphasis on the concepts of "best life" and "best death".
Jiu'er will remember this because this kind of thinking... is actually quite similar to the utilitarianism pursued by players.
Believers in "The Way of Goodness" believe that the elves, as a race of silver souls, are kind at the bottom of their hearts. But they have kind hearts, but they may not necessarily do good deeds... because they have their own lives and their own difficulties.
Then it's up to them to do "good deeds" for these people.
You can ignore "what is the thought behind a certain behavior", and don't care about "whether you want to do it", as long as it is good in result, then it can be done; and if it is excellent in the long run , then this is a "good deed".
They are generally devotees. They have been acting for the "good fruit" all their lives and dedicating their whole life. They call this "the best life".
For example, go to places that are not covered by the spell energy network, teach those "savage races" technology and culture, build fortresses, reclaim roads, and build embankments in the most desolate places.
Even if you die, you will try your best to find a "sacrifice place" so that your death will bring more benefits to others-this is the "best death".
In the philosophical view of "the good way", a person who can achieve the "best life" is the greatest; a person who can achieve the "best death" is the happiest.
But "goodness" also suppresses one's ego. They'll do things they don't want to do simply because it pays off better...which includes marrying someone they don't love, taking a job they don't want to do, not being able to come back when it's time to go home Home, cannot die when it is time to die. Because their happiness is pursued at the moment of "departure".
They don't care about personal happiness and fame, they just pursue "results".
——Like a player.
Among the practitioners of the "good way", there are also a very small number of people who cannot be understood-for example, "Ernest Flamel" who supports the abolition of spell power.
"...It seems that in the future, good ways will still be passed on."
Atalanta said with some relief: "Then this shows that the specimen preservation technology is meaningful."
... No, it's not.
Jiu'er opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't tell the truth.
Lin Yiyi knew what Jiu'er was thinking.
So she immediately took up the conversation, and turned to ask: "We heard that you are the holder of the [Heart of Justice] of this generation.
"And we happen to have a friend who wishes to obtain the Heart of Justice... and another friend who is your successor to the power of the storm. But her inheritance seems not perfect..."
Originally, Atalanta listened quite seriously.
But when she heard the back, she was suddenly taken aback.
She clenched her right hand suddenly, and her whole body was visibly in a trance.
"...the successor of the power of the storm?"
Atalanta murmured.
She pursed her lips, frowned, and fell into complete silence.
At this time, Lin Yiyi realized belatedly that she seemed to have said something wrong...
Because the power of the storm of Atalanta and Maria comes from the book of truth in "Song of the Storm and the Heart".
Being able to inherit the power of the storm meant that Atalanta did not ascend successfully.
——This is also what Lin Yiyi finds strange.
Since Atalanta did not ascend successfully, then she should not have any experience to share with Maria...
But now, it's all wrong.
Speak clearly, at least you can eliminate meaningless misunderstandings. Prevent errors in the information brought back.
So she was cruel, and said: "Yes, it is the successor of "Ode to the Storm and the Heart".
"But the power she possesses seems to be much worse than yours... Is this related to your mastery of the Heart of Justice? Or, is the holy bone in the 'heart' part the one that activates the power of "The Storm and the Heart?" Necessary for the full power of the Carol?"
Lin Yiyi was very clear and asked all the questions that came up.
