Iranor stood there blankly, watching helplessly as Joshua was restrained by those people. Then when those people came to arrest him, he suddenly reacted and ran away like the scattered disciples.
The cold wind blew across his face, and he fled in the darkness. He didn't expect that Joshua actually refused the rescue.
Iranor was tumbling over and over in the darkness, not knowing where to go and forgetting to stop. Suddenly, a voice appeared in his ear. It was Alicia's voice, scolding her, asking her to return to the team. Only then did Irano remember who he was and where he was. He avoided the noisy pursuers in the distance, turned into the darkness, and joined his own people.
His eyes were dull, looking at the place where the torch was lit in the distance, and his voice was dry: "I pushed down those who wanted to arrest him, but he refused to follow me..."
An angel stood in front of them, and the concealment function allowed them to completely disappear into the night.
Finnick didn't seem surprised by what happened: "Elano, don't you understand?"
"Understand what?" He raised his head.
"Joshua decided to sacrifice himself. This was his career, the ultimate goal of his coming to earth. Because of their stupidity and arrogance, humans cut off their connection with God and were driven out of Eden. As God The son of God, in order to show the mercy of God, he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sins of mankind as a ransom, so that the way back to God can be opened again..." Finnick's voice was low, and Iranor stared at his face, as if he saw Joshua was talking to himself.
"I know..." Iranor grabbed Finnick's arm tightly, "I know everything! I read the gospel over and over again, and I also read a lot of sermons!
"But I can't accept this! Why did he die for?" He roared in a low voice, "For humanity, is it worth it?!"
Is it worth it for humanity?
More than a thousand years after Joshua ascended the Diamond, people are still hating each other and killing each other, and the world seems to be showing no signs of getting better. People increasingly worship those rich people who cannot pass through the eye of a needle. People still bully the weak and kneel down when they encounter the strong. People are full of sins but still talk and laugh without shame...
Is it worth it for such a human being?
Finnick said nothing, the dry wind blowing his hair. He felt that his wrists were tightly bound, and he felt a little nervous in his heart, but at the same time he felt happy. Someone yelled in his ear, but he remained unmoved. Finnick's expression softened, with a slight smile on his lips: "Yes, Iranor, is it worth it to sacrifice for these people who want to kill you?
"God looks at the world like a group of ignorant children. They have done many things that have betrayed God, but God still loves them.
"I love them, so I hope they can wake up. But weapons or miracles can only make people fear or covet them, but they cannot make people wake up - only sacrifice can.
"If you must ask if it's all worth it, Ilanor, I can tell you: it is."
The theologian looked at his companion. His eyes were red and he couldn't say a word.
The female chess player held the precious cup in her palm: "This is not the Holy Grail."
Irano breathed out, took the cup, and wiped his eyes: "This is impossible, I can see clearly, this is what Joshua used..."
However, Irano himself could definitely feel that there was nothing special about this agate cup, and it was no different from the surrounding vegetation and masonry.
"How is this possible? It's this cup..." Iranor frowned and observed in confusion.
Finnick sighed, he seemed to understand everything at once: "No, you are wrong, this is the Holy Grail.
"It's just that it's not that yet - it must have received the blood of the victims before it can be called holy."

Flames burned and rolled in the air. The three pairs of wings are symmetrical flames. This flame dripped down to the world, so the tree of life also burned, and those who were killed for no reason received a rich burial belonging to Lafusa.
All those who wear clothes, leave Eden - Lafusa's voice rang in the air, the world was like a huge cave, constantly echoing its mighty
sound.
Leave Eden!
The old man was kneeling in front of the burning tree, shouting hoarsely: "Merciful Father, why?! Why are you driving us away?"
La Fusa did not answer, it just repeated quietly again: Leave Eden!
"No, we need to know the reason!" Someone stood up angrily and waved his fist towards the sky, obviously not satisfied with God's handling.
Lafusa cast down the flames, and the angry figure burned violently, turning into a ball of charcoal in an instant.
People began to cry loudly. Only then did they know their game was over.
Amid the flames and cries, a smile appeared on Harley's face, and she extended her thumb towards the wide-eyed wise man: "You are smart - you are so smart!
"Smart one, where's your good idea? Come up with a good idea! Give all your cores to Lafusa, maybe you can buy it!" Currency can do many things, let's see if you can let Seraph The Internet is open..."
"Shut up!" Weisthal yelled, interrupting Harley's taunting.
The old man in red robe looked ashen, he turned around tremblingly, looking at the panicked people behind him with a pair of extremely confused old eyes...
The age of games is over, and mankind's beautiful childhood is over. They are going out of Eden, they will face life and death, the fruit trees will no longer bend their branches for them, they have to rely on the land to make a living.
"Mr. Weissall..." The old man shuffled to the colonel. He couldn't even raise his head to look into the outsider's eyes. "You are from outside Eden. We will need your help..."
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the clansmen. Lafusa's flame cast his shadow on the ground, like a dark sword, piercing into the frightened crowd...
"Let's go, children. Let's go..." The old man's voice was as desolate as the winter wind outside Eden, "We have lost His favor."

Ivan stared at Aaliyah's face. The latter is still monitoring every move of the strange skeleton through the maze veins.
An uneasy expression appeared on Aaliya's face. She temporarily cut off her observation, and her eyes regained their translucent color: "He led those people into the unperceivable darkness." After deceiving and capturing another After the team, the flaming skeleton seemed to be planning to do something.
"He doesn't seem to be wandering here aimlessly," Aaliyah took a breath, "He seems to know the secrets here."
"What do you think is in that darkness?" Ivan asked, "The Holy Grail?"
"I don't know, maybe..."
Before finding Sean, Evan didn't want to fight anyone rashly. But if there is a possibility that the SS minions can get there first, then they cannot sit idly by.
"There is no choice." Ivan seemed to have made a decision. He stood up, "We can only follow and take a look."
