After finishing the conversation, Zhou Li, Linghai and Eluma left the big library. Victoria didn't send it. She just sat in her seat and watched the people leaving without saying a word.
Opening the door, a stone was suddenly thrown into the quiet lake, and the noisy streets brought the three of them back to reality. Linghai, who was originally in a trance and confused, came to her senses. She looked at Zhou Li aside and asked softly:
"Is what she said true?"
Zhou Li could see that Linghai was very confused at this time. He shook his head, nodded again and said, "Yes, and no."
Looking at Ling Hai who was looking at him with confusion and nervousness, Zhou Li did not look back, but he still felt the gaze behind the bronze door. He pondered for a moment, and then said to Linghai in a slow and unhurried manner:
"Among the three books of creation, the book of omniscience and omnipotence builds order and rules. The book of ignorance and incomprehension builds abyss and chaos. And the book of half-knowledge builds compromise."
"Compromise to rules, compromise to chaos. It will not be precise and strict, nor will it be chaotic and formless. So among these three books, only the book of half-knowledge is the most like a human being."
Having said this, Zhou Li paused. He stretched out his hand and stopped the two people behind him. The "Ask and Say Area" of the Great Library can only take effect in a small area. This opportunity was rare, and if he continued, he was afraid that he would be out of sight of Victoria.
“If you ask a question to the all-knowing and all-powerful Book, the answer you get will be the absolute truth.”
When Zhou Li said that he was omniscient and omnipotent, he paused. He seemed to remember something, and a trace of lingering fear flashed in his eyes.
"It sounds beautiful, but life is too fragile and cannot bear the absolute truth that contains the rules of the world. Even if the gods want to get a wide-ranging truth, they have to pay the price of their lives to obtain the truth."
If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.
Zhou Li's explanation made Linghai subconsciously think of this motto. She was a little surprised. When Zhou Li mentioned these three books at first, she thought that these three books were like artifacts that could give people quality. leap. But now it seems that it is indeed a qualitative leap.
Leap a hundred years and die directly.
"What about the other one?" Linghai couldn't suppress his curiosity this time, and asked before the professional admiration Eluma: "What about the book called Ignorance and Incomprehension?"
"Ignorant and confused..."
Zhou Li clicked his tongue and scratched the back of his head with a strange expression: "If omniscience and omnipotence means telling you all the truth, then if you are ignorant and don't understand, you can tell you all the wrong answers without causing harm to the human body."
"Isn't this okay?" At this time, Eluma reacted quickly, "As long as we sort out all the answers in the book, won't we get the truth?"
"Ha ha."
Zhou Li smiled sarcastically and said in agreement: "Indeed, your idea makes sense. If the people who thought so before were not contaminated by the "disaster answers" in the Book of Ignorance and went crazy directly, you should I can win a smart award.”
After hearing Zhou Li's answer, Linghai on the side understood. If the answers given to others by the omniscient and omnipotent book were a collection of truths, they would be overloaded and die on the spot. Ignorant and incomprehensible books will fill you with countless junk files and directly disgust the readers into lunatics.
"So, only half-understood books that split oneself into several parts and scatter them all over the world are the most friendly to the human race."
Zhou Li held his breath again. After feeling that the gaze from behind was still there, he continued: "You can understand that Victoria can observe the whole picture of a thing, but she can't tell you directly. She must become the Riddler and use She will reveal the truth to you through various indirect ways. As for whether you can understand it, or whether you have understood it wrong, she will not tell you."
"What she said may be the truth, or it may be a metaphor, or she may use words to remind you that she is actually speaking the opposite. As for what you think, it depends on you."
The words fell and the gaze disappeared. Zhou Li turned around and focused his eyes on the bronze door that exuded a faint glow. Zhou Li's deep eyes were filled with sincere gratitude. He nodded slightly, as if he was greeting someone.
"Let's go."
Zhou Li waved, walked down the steps, and said to the two people behind him: "We have all met those who need us to be respectful and sincerely grateful."
"Next, we're going to meet the villain."
*********************************
"I didn't expect, Miss Don Quixote, that you would come to see me in person."
In a villa with a low-key appearance and luxurious interior decoration, a middle-aged man with a clean goatee sat on a chair covered with red satin. He smiled at the short-haired woman in front of him and said: "It seems that you still practice True justice really makes me admire you."
"As a noble who is still registered in the bill, I must abide by the king's order. This is law, not justice."
Don Quixote, who was sitting on the chair, had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Mr. Carter Roland, the king's order allows me to temporarily cooperate with your actions. Please give me your instructions."
"No, no, no, Miss Tang, I am not in charge of the action this time."
The man named Carter laughed a few times, then he stood up and clapped his hands. The gorgeous door behind him was slowly pushed open, and a man with a deep appearance in a crimson robe walked out of the shadows. He looked at Don Quixote, put his left hand on his chest, and bowed.
"Cardinal Archbishop of the Just Church, Lild."
After announcing his name, Liard stood up straight. At this time, a surprised expression appeared on Don Quixote's face, which was originally expressionless. She stood up and respectfully performed a standard knightly salute. The moment she lowered her head, Don Quixote's eyes were full of shock.
As for the reason why she was so arrogant, besides her bald head, which could be called a little sun, the moment the name Red Archbishop appeared, Don Quixote suddenly felt a chill.
There are many professionals in this world. The distinction between soul colors, that is, the eight professional levels from Black Iron to God's Gift, is the most important part of judging a professional's strength. The color of the soul requires the unremitting efforts and talent of the professional to climb up.
But the Cardinals don't need to. They are born platinum, and through cultivation they can step into the brilliance, and the god-given level is where they belong. For the church, a cardinal has the greatest power besides the pope. Most importantly, the Cardinal is the only professional who can listen to the Word of God.
Not counting the brave, the brave can chat with the gods when they go to the toilet.
Therefore, after learning that this bald man was a cardinal, Don Quixote's heart suddenly sank. The bishop suddenly appeared at such a time, and his purpose was already clear. Sure enough, after introducing himself, Lild continued to say to Don Quixote:
"Miss Tang, in the name of our Lord, I am carrying out a very important mission to save the people who are about to step into the abyss. I need your cooperation for this mission."
Don Quixote said nothing, but looked straight at Lild. Faced with the slightly disrespectful behavior, Liard, who had no airs at all, didn't care at all. He put his left hand on his chest and said sincerely to Don Quixote:
"I hope that you will sign this contract with him during the subsequent battle with the hero."
Taking the paper from Lild, Don Quixote began to read the words on it.
"Under the witness of the God of Justice, Don Quixote and Zhou Li conclude this contract."
"This battle will abide by the laws of fairness, and any party that violates fairness will be punished. If Don Quixote violates fairness, she will be stripped of all identities and exiled to the northern desert."
Seeing this line of text, Don Quixote didn't have any big psychological fluctuations. After all, she knew that she would not destroy the so-called fairness. So she continued reading.
"If Zhou Li destroys fairness, then he must become a people of God, make every effort to save the common people, and accept God's gifts."
"this······"
After seeing this line of words, Don Quixote was speechless for a moment. Lild naturally understood Don Quixote's surprise. He looked at Don Quixote and said with a slight smile:
"Yes, the gods do not want to take action against Mr. Zhou Li. The great gods just want to bring the brave man who has gone astray back to the right path, shoulder his responsibilities, and let the supreme gods lead him to defeat the disaster. Don Quixote Miss De, are you relieved now?"
I feel relieved.
Don Quixote stared blankly at the line "punishment", and an inexplicable emotion gradually took over her heart.
"Are you so sure that Zhou Li will destroy fairness?"
A dry, hoarse voice came from Don Quixote's mouth. Lild nodded slightly and said calmly:
"The gods commanded me not to hide it from you."
"The brave man carries a book that does not belong to him. This book will provide him with power that does not belong to him. And the brave man himself does not know the nature of that book."
Therefore, as long as Zhou Li steps into the just contract, he will violate the contract.
This contract was unjust from the beginning.
"Um···"
Don Quixote pursed his dry lips. She felt absurd, but also a little amused. It was hard for her to imagine that a just god with fairness as his god would set a verbal trap from the beginning.
Is it fair? just.
Is it fair? unfair.
It seems that she agrees with Leard's words, and it seems that she also wants to see the result of the brave overcoming the disaster under the guidance of the gods. Don Quixote put the contract away and nodded.
"Okay, but to be on the safe side, I need Miss Don Quixote to swear an oath with me under the gaze of the gods."
This time, the cardinal's face was full of solemnity. An invisible pressure filled the entire room from him. Don Quixote smiled slightly, then raised his hands and swore an oath with the cardinal.
"No matter when, where or to whom, I will not reveal everything I have just told others. The gods are watching and justice has been determined and must not be violated."
After taking the oath and giving all instructions, the cardinal left the villa. Don Quixote had no intention of staying. She glanced coldly at Count Carter and asked in a deep voice:
"What does the king want from this matter?"
"Don't be so outspoken, Miss Tang."
The count elegantly swung the red wine in his glass, and his meticulous clothes were very elegant. "Twilight Forest is an important place for the kingdom, and the king attaches great importance to that dangerous land. In order to maintain the surrounding security, of course we need a safe enough entrance. I believe , The brave man who converts to the gods must have a noble consciousness. How can that eastern land become a stumbling block for the brave man to succeed? Are you right, Count Don..."
"Ah."
Don Quixote sneered when he heard the emphasis on the word count. Then she stood up and left the luxurious villa.
Really, I'm relieved.
Walking on the mainland, the light in Don Quixote's eyes became more solid. A determined expression gradually appeared on her heroic face, followed by a relieved smile.
In the morning, Don Quixote took a carriage to Victoria with Zhou Li and looked at the setting sun. Anger and relief were intertwined, falling in confusion in her heart.
Your prophecy has been completely fulfilled.
Mr. Brave.
