Chapter 396 The Difference Between Russell and Louise

Russell has become "that guy"?

That guy almost became the real "Dark Emperor", even more powerful than an angel like you... Louise couldn't help but slander in her heart, but then realized that she seemed to call Roselle "that guy" up.

It's all because of the impression Roselle left on people, it's so unreliable!

However, considering that when Roselle joined the "Twilight Hermit Society", he was probably only in the mid-sequence. He was just a small character in front of the angel-level Hermes. After all, no one could have imagined how high the emperor would grow to in the end!

"It's an honor to be compared with Emperor Roselle." Louise said insincerely.

Hermes did not comment on these words, but recalled for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, and said:

"You have one thing in common, that is, both of you have a lot of thoughts."

Are you trying to say that you have too many thoughts... Louise retorted silently in her heart: "I am very simple!"

"However, the two of you are still not the same." Hermes suddenly said again.

Louise let out a soft "Hey", showing an interested look, and heard Hermes continue to describe:

"When Roselle first joined, although the sequence was not high, because of his own status, as the consul of Intis, he treated everyone with an equal attitude, neither humble nor overbearing."

"Even after knowing my true identity." Hermes pointed at himself, as if nostalgic, and said instead:

"However, in Roselle's heart, he actually lacks a sense of security. He has always maintained a cautious attitude towards those of us whose sequences are far higher than his own. Wait and see or test."

"But you are different." Hermes stopped suddenly and turned to face Louise.

"What's the difference?" Louise asked.

Hermes stared at it for two seconds, then continued to walk forward, and replied at the same time:

"Your sequence is also not high. When facing high-sequence members, you behaved very humbly, just like an ordinary mid-sequence Extraordinary should behave."

"However, you are actually confident in your heart. Your humility is only due to the fact that the current sequence is not high, because you are very sure that one day you will reach the other party's sequence, or even surpass it."

Before Louise could refute, Hermes made a final evaluation without stopping:

"Actually, Roselle also has this kind of self-confidence, but his self-confidence inevitably feels a bit vain, like duckweed floating in mid-air, while your self-confidence is truly hidden in the bottom of your heart, without any discount."

As soon as these words came out, Louise retracted what she originally wanted to refute.

She began to think.

No one had ever spoken to her such words that pointed to the depths of her heart, and neither had Adam, although he probably just felt that it was meaningless... Louise didn't want to believe it, but she knew it was the truth.

She is different from Roselle. At the beginning, Roselle was just a middle-school boy who believed that "travelers will be invincible", and every step he took seemed to verify this point, so this kind of self-confidence made Roselle Searle made a lot of wrong choices, which even led to his tragic ending.

And what about Louise herself?

At the beginning of the journey, she had a difficult time of entanglement and fear. Since she came to Backlund, she has encountered too many things and "encountered" too many high-ranking beings. The more critical point is that However, these high-ranking beings who often appear only in legends showed a puzzling "friendly" attitude towards her.

Therefore, rather than saying that Louise's self-confidence comes from her own efforts, it is better to say that she believes in the existence of these "friendly" high positions.

Especially this "Angel of Fantasy" Adam, who designed such a story that forced Louise to assassinate Duke Negan step by step, so he invited her to join the "Twilight Hermit Society", and even directly gave The promise of "promotion to demigod" was fulfilled.

Many things that are so superior that they are enviable are all connected together, and Louise inexplicably has an illusion:

"Adam seemed to want me to be promoted more than himself."

Louise may be able to discover these details and guesses on her own one day, but what Hermes just said just woke her up very timely.

All the gifts of fate have already been secretly priced.

She stopped abruptly, bowed deeply, and said solemnly:

"Thank you for your evaluation, it has benefited me a lot."

Hermes smiled, stretched out his right hand to support Louise, and replied noncommittally:

"I'm just stating my opinion and it's not worth it."

Louise didn't refute, but just silently buried her thoughts in her heart. She even started to think, did Hermes say these words to her intentionally or unintentionally?

If Hermes knew that Louise was still thanking him one second, and began to doubt his purpose the next second, how would he feel?

"Speaking of Russell, he is indeed a very interesting person." Hermes said as he walked.

…………

Afterwards, under Louise's curious questioning, Hermes told some stories about Roselle, including positive stories, and naturally some interesting memories that made people smile.

The discussion in the hall seemed to be coming to an end. Although Louise was not qualified to participate yet, she could judge by the number of people who came forward to say goodbye.

Hermes has a very high status in the "Twilight Hermit Society". He greeted other members one by one without any sign of impatience. At the same time, Louise also met many important figures from various kingdoms. The future cooperation has laid a solid foundation.

Until she left, Louise hadn't seen the rough man who was suspected to be a member of the "Church of Storms". It seemed that the latter had withdrawn from the party early.

…………

In a very short period of time, the giant hall in Louise's eyes suddenly became empty, and all the members had disappeared, leaving only Hermes alone.

This ancient angel stood alone in the middle of the hall, quietly looked around, and suddenly smiled.

He waved his hand lightly, and the giant hall he was in fell apart in an instant.

The seemingly indestructible stone pillars crumbled and scattered, as if the sky had collapsed, and when the hall became a ruin, everything stopped suddenly, as if even time was frozen here.

In the next moment, a more majestic hall rose from the ground, and it seemed that a huge blurry figure could still be seen wandering in the surrounding clouds.

Finally, Adam dressed as a priest appeared in front of Hermes.
