Cheese disappeared from the bonfire. Although Elsa wanted to follow, Mona stopped her behavior. Everyone knows that the best way is to wait for the mage to calm down and understand what is taken for granted. Carus looked at the others with a strange sneer at the corners of his mouth. He motioned his apprentice to follow. He got up and walked away from the fire and sat down on the exposed rock in the distance.
"Teacher, why don''t we sit with them?" Jerry asked strangely. He had a small piece of dried bread in his hand. It was not because he was hungry, but because of his living habits, he would always hide some food on his body for a rainy day. Carus appreciated this vigilance.
"Why should we sit with them? They never think of us as the same kind, boy." The devil''s expression was calm. He couldn''t tell what kind of emotion his words contained. "You heard what they said to the wizard just now, didn''t you?"
Jerry nodded silently and put the dried bread into the small cloth bag tied around his waist. As a rat man, he didn''t need to wear clothes, but his shame as a human made him a bottom with simple cloth. As for the top, he chose to be the same as his teacher.
"It''s not going to solve the problem. Tell me what you think, boy. I''m curious what my apprentice can think of in addition to those stupid words. " Carus slapped the apprentice on the back. Thanks to the killer''s subtle power control, this encouragement did not cause any discomfort to Jerry.
"I, I think they''re right." The mouse man hesitated for a long time before saying this sentence. He looked up at his teacher and wanted to know what the mob thought.
The killer sneered, but not because of Jerry''s answer. He continued in a flat voice, "right? Are those places right? "
"All the parts. Rat people did kill a lot of people, and without them, molten iron city would not have collapsed, and my parents would not have... " Thinking of his parents, Jerry''s eyes filled with tears. He looked down to wipe with the back of his hand, but found long hair growing on his body. He moved his hand away from his sight in disgust, and let the tears flow out of his eyes. "They must pay for it!"
Carus looked into the boy''s eyes, his tearful pupils filled with anger and fear. He also understood how much his parents, especially his blood, had lost his eyes. Because the first person he killed, the first person forced to kill by his devil father, was his biological mother. But Carus soon got rid of the pain, he has found the way to inner peace, will not be as easy as before to be engulfed by emotions.
"But, boy, you have to realize one thing." The killer put his hands on the apprentice''s shoulder. "That''s now, you''re rat man. If you think all rat people are guilty, you are the same. Tell me, did you kill your parents? "
"I didn''t, but I, I..." The boy''s brain can''t deal with this complicated problem, so he has to wait helplessly for the answer.
"Listen, boy. There is a reason why hate is so harsh. It is not something that can be mentioned so easily. Revenge, it may be legitimate, but it is not noble, if you let yourself into it, let anger and impulse instead of your own thinking, you will certainly regret. In fact, everyone knows this truth, but when things happen to themselves, they are duty bound to choose the wrong answer. But you can''t, because you are my apprentice. You have to learn to control your hatred. This is your first lesson
"But we should be hated." Peggy tied her long hair into a random strip, which meant she was in a bad mood. "You see, witches, demons, rat people. We are not human beings, but we live in the kingdom of human beings. We''ve all killed people. Our race, different from human race, bears countless blood debts. And although some of the blood debts are self inflicted, they will not blame their own kindred, because they are all human beings. Many years later, no one will remember who was the culprit of rat man plague. In the history of Cang lion, we will only write down how many people died because of rat man
"Really, so we should hate them because they hate us? No, that''s not the right way. " Said Carus calmly.
Peggy sat down on the other side of the mob and leaned back on the latter, "but it''s the way most people choose. In the city I came to, witches used the cruelest punishment against those who tried to challenge us. Some of us, madmen like Ellie, loved it. But I know, I can see, even though my eyes don''t have the magic of Ellie, I just can see the fear in the eyes of adults. They are cruel because they are afraid. They are afraid that others are not afraid of what they will do to them later
Carus didn''t know what to say, so he didn''t say anything. As the night grew deeper and the campfire darkened, boys and girls fell asleep in his arms. Looking at the starry sky, the demon descendant sang a song he had forgotten to hear: "the wheel made of gold killed the farmer; the wheel made of silver killed the peasant woman; the wheel made of black iron killed the child; the wheel made of flesh and blood killed the nobleman; the wheel made of rice killed the forest Hey, the wheel of hate, it killed all of us. "On the other side, stepping into the debris of the turbidity current, cheese can not hear the voice of the demon. He was like fleeing to the depth of the ruins, the mage suddenly felt that his companion was so strange. He didn''t understand why his companions would say that when he proposed to save all rat people. He certainly understood how much damage the rat man caused, but it was not their own will, was it? What happened in this country is a conspiracy arranged by people. Why don''t they understand it! These are fake! It''s a well-designed script!
"Because for them, the dead are real. The destroyed home is real. Lost limbs are real, painful wounds are real So hatred is real. " Sound, I don''t know where it comes from, and I don''t know if it''s real. It came into the cheese''s ear and whispered.
"No, the hatred is not real. They don''t understand what they should hate! They are all cheated Mage, kneel down in the ruins, holding the gravel on the ground with both hands. Even if it is cut by the sharp edge, the blood doesn''t stop.
"Cheated, interesting point of view. Everyone has only two pairs of eyes and can''t see the whole world. Even your classmate, the noble grey robed wizard, is not pursuing the answer that only has meaning for himself? However, I just like your point, and your teacher is so similar, it is not in vain that I set up such a big stage for you. Let me have a look. Let me see how many new collections you can bring me
