Chapter 570 Chapter 148 The Future Pope
Coward... Alice glanced at Roy King, curled her lips, and muttered:
"Honorable name and doctrine... Ugh, my new honorable name!"
She suddenly became serious, looked at Roy King sideways, and frowned slightly.
——No matter how bizarre the reason for Roy King's visit, he at least looks like a devout believer, or even a missionary.
So, this honorable name... shouldn't it be given a more serious one?
While pacing in place, Alice put her hands behind her back and spoke as slowly as possible:
"The creator of happiness and miracles...
"The ruler of misfortune and disaster...
"...The future is uncertain...
"...The prophet. "
The first two sentences undoubtedly come from Klein, and the last sentence can be rounded off as a temporary thought - or perhaps not too temporary.
Calling herself a "prophet" is something Alice has been doing for a long time, and it is normal to refer to herself in this way, but the uncertain future is indeed the result of a flash of inspiration.
Thinking in a bad direction, the uncertain future can be regarded as a bleak future in a certain sense. This is an indisputable fact. What lies in front of her is the "Key of Light". Becoming a true god also means facing the "Key of Light", which is an unparalleled honor unique to the old days of the single path.
Thinking in a good direction, in the part that Alice can feel, the authority contained in the "Wheel of Fortune" is not only the "chaos" of fate, but also the "predetermination" of fate. The extraordinary ability of the "prophet" is enough to explain the problem, and the previous The road ahead is uncertain, which at least means that what lies ahead of her is not "predetermined".
Then she can still struggle...
In fact, this is the origin of Alice's contradictory behavior.
On the one hand, although she is too lazy to move, she will not really lie down and wait for death when someone wants to kill her. Even if she can't beat him, at least her first reaction should be to flutter a few times.
On the other hand, Alice always doubts how useful such a struggle is. She is obsessed with Song Shu's words "indivisible" and is afraid of the truth that may be hidden behind this sentence.
In particular, until today, Alice cannot regard herself as "Shen Yinghuan", and "Song Shu" is even more impossible. She prefers to insist that she is Alice who woke up in Tingen City. As for what happened earlier... Since she didn't remember anything when she woke up , that means these have nothing to do with her!
In other words, Alice doesn't want to recognize any of them. If she has to choose, she recognizes "Shen Yinghuan" a little more.
As for the "self" who was familiar with Will Auceptin in the past, Alice doesn't want to recognize him even more. Of course, the reason is more subjective-He is too outrageous in some aspects!
Alice can honestly admit that she is not a good person or a good god, but she thinks she is quite friendly to her believers. At least, she is different from the indiscriminate madness of the "real creator". At most, she ignores it... uh, at most, she teases it... ?
Alice blinked innocently and turned her attention to the one who criticized the past.
——He will only be worse to his believers than to others. For details, please refer to The birthday gift Alice received... Even though Alice couldn't be considered a believer.
Alice knew what He liked to see, so how could she not understand herself? Even though they were different in many ways, Alice could still understand His intentions the moment she received the "gift".
——He loved to see people struggling hard in adversity, grabbing the last straw, climbing ashore in hope, and then suffocating to death.
It was this badness that formed the core of all Alice's uneasiness. She was particularly worried that this seemingly smooth road ahead was paved by humans, and the end of the road was not the hope she wanted, but a doomed dead end.
So the future was uncertain, which might be the best answer at this moment, which meant that her fluttering from time to time still had some meaning, at least it was not in vain.
But I always worried that I was wasting my efforts, so I didn't move most of the time not because I was lazy, but because I was worried... Yes, that's the reason!
Alice nodded with a firm look in her eyes, took a deep breath, and after a moment of hesitation towards Roy King, she suddenly smiled and said:
"Have you heard of... Nirvana?"
This word is completely a Buddhist word. In fact, there is no word with similar meaning in the mysterious languages such as Hermetic and the common languages such as Loen.
If Alice had learned Sanskrit, she would probably perform in Sanskrit here, but unfortunately she didn't, so she simply didn't perform and started to speak Chinese directly on the proper nouns.
Roy King obviously didn't understand, and the purpose was achieved. What Alice wanted was that he didn't understand the proper nouns, otherwise what was the point of preaching? She took out the messy Buddhist terms such as Nirvana, reincarnation, cause and effect, and then explained their meanings in Loen.
At this time, Alice was no longer afraid of the "Hidden Sage" as before. She, who was unique, had no essential difference in status from the "Hidden Sage". She was even a little stronger than the lonely "Hidden Sage" - she had extraordinary characteristics!
... Although she was not even at Sequence 2.
Speaking of which, the "Hidden Sage" should really only have uniqueness, right? Could it be that he has actually become the "Angel King"... Uh, can the uniqueness be considered the "Angel King"?
Alice was talking while thinking about it, and Roy King was stunned. In fact, many things were not difficult to understand, but Roy King finally said curiously:
"Can I ask you a question?"
Alice nodded, and Roy King's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:
"Where did those words you said... come from? They seem to be words from another language that I have never heard of..."
"That's my mother tongue," Alice told the truth. "It's normal that you've never heard of it... It has long since disappeared along with that history. Most of the people who can understand this language have been related to that history. They disappeared together, and the few that survived either became indescribable existences, or were still sleeping, waiting for a new reincarnation.”
The unspeakable existence... Roy King's body trembled, he bowed his head respectfully, and did not ask any more relevant questions.
Alice did not write Chinese to him. After all, the square characters were distinctive in this world of alphabetic characters. She only chuckled and said:
"I thought you were going to ask me what disappearing means."
——She decided to connect her origin with her beginning, just like the Seven Gods did.
Of course, Alice does not intend to bring up the concepts of Buddha, Bodhisattva, etc. here. After all, the negative teaching materials of the "ancient sun god" claiming to be "God" are already there. Alice only intends to use the teachings, but does not intend to give herself a name... ...What if the "Key of Light" really becomes a Buddha in the Western Continent!
That's really for nothing.
Roy King played the role of a flatterer very obediently: "I thought you didn't say it clearly, which meant that I shouldn't know that."
"No," Alice said calmly, "You must lack experience in dealing with angels and true gods. You don't know that some of them especially like to play riddles and then wait for others to ask why. For example, the Fool is like this."
"...?" Roy King hesitated.
Alice continues to spread rumors about Klein:
"And the Fool is very strange. He doesn't say anything on the surface, but in fact he likes to be asked by people. Even if it's something he shouldn't know, he likes to listen to people's questions, and then after asking, he will tell them mysteriously..."
She cleared her throat, put on her indifferent and arrogant face, and spoke softly:
"That's not what you should know."
"...I understand," the color on Roy King's face was more exciting than Alice's palette, "Then, please forgive my curiosity... What does it mean to disappear with history? After all, history does not What about things that have disappeared?”
Alice blinked and smiled softly:
“You can try to divine the origins, meanings, etc. of these words.
"You can't do divination because there are no such things in the spiritual world - I think it should be clear to you at this stage that the spiritual world is the sum of all information. It contains all the past, present and future?"
Roy King nodded. This time, he really didn't understand. He asked doubtfully: "Why is there not... in the spiritual world?"
Alice smiled calmly and said:
“Like I said, they’re gone.
“Everyone knows that there is a primary creator in this world, who created the world, who is the sum of all madness and reason, who is both chaos and order, and who contains everything.
"And I...I am not the original creation."
Roy King's head shot up.
"This sounds like nonsense, maybe?" Alice looked at him and asked, "After all, the Seven Gods are like this. They are keen to find a lofty origin for themselves and connect themselves with the original. If the new gods want to gain enough voice in it, they have to elevate themselves higher... Do you think this is what I am doing?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Roy King said nothing. He looked like he didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Alice didn't need his answer, she just continued:
"It's normal to think like this. Well, like I said, you can try to divine the origin of those words. Believe me, no one will divine it. If you suspect that I have done counter-divination, you can still Please give Will Asceptin a try.”
Roy King swallowed and showed an awkward and stiff smile.
"Why are you so panicked..." Alice muttered and glanced at him, "I'm actually very reasonable."
Roy King only managed a smile and said:
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I really don't have much experience in getting along with angels and true gods. This is the first time I have faced an incarnation of a god. I didn't expect your character to be so...
"lively."
Alice blinked and said sincerely: "You are really good at talking."
"...Thank you?" Roy King responded slightly hesitantly.
Alice had no objection and continued to compile:
"Where did we just say? I'm not the original creation? Yes, this is it.
"I was actually born earlier than the original Creator. Long before that, long before that, I was already a part of destiny. It's just that the awakening and germination of consciousness took a lot of time. When I woke up completely, I was already a part of my destiny. Completed the feat of creation, and even turned destiny into concrete authority.
"When my newborn consciousness opened its eyes, I felt the existence of another part of me. We were attracted and converged with each other, and then, the situation I told you occurred - probably when my mind was only equivalent to a mortal six or seven years old Or when I was seven or eight years old, I sat on that sacred throne that symbolized destiny.
"I'm not sure about the exact age, and I think you know why - with kids, it's hard to tell the difference.
"Some people called me an 'eternally innocent child' at that time, which is actually true. Because of this divine status that descended from the sky, I completely lost the possibility of growing up, and my mind was forced to stay in the child stage.
"I spent a long time sleeping, looking for ways to grow, and what you see now is the final result... To be honest, I'm not sure if it's success.
"Hmm...is that about all? What else should be written in the holy book?"
After telling this lie that was formed by breaking the truth, reassembling it, and then artistically processing it, Alice blinked her eyes twice. Roy King looked at her and subconsciously blurted out:
"...miracles? There are also followers of God..."
"Didn't I say it?" Alice laughed, "The night and the Fool are both my favored ones. In the distant past, in the Second Age, the night was called 'the misfortune favored by luck'."
I hope the goddess won’t come out and slap me... No, I’m telling the truth, why should I feel guilty!
Alice, who could no longer tell whether she was telling the truth or a lie, let out a long sigh and continued:
"There are also miracles... What kind of miracles are there? I don't know, you just have to make it up... I mean, since you are here to surrender, you should be somewhat sincere, right?
"Although to be correct, the conventional way to surrender is to bring the fatal weakness of your previous master, or simply bring up your head... not your head, but Will Asceptin's head.
"Oh, no, He can restart it. It's useless if you hold His head up... Forget it. Anyway, I won't ask you for this. You can write me a holy book. Isn't that too much?
"After all, you are really good at talking..."
Alice looked at Roy King with longing in her eyes.
Regarding the Holy Scripture, she asked Klein, Alger the Hanged Man, Cattleya the Hermit, and even Forsi the Magician. Today, she took the initiative to ask Of course, Roy King, who came to the door, could not escape this test.
In particular, Roy King did demonstrate a necessary quality for compiling a holy book - telling lies with open eyes.
Looking at Roy King who was a little confused by the mission that dropped from the sky, Alice reached out her hand, patted his shoulder solemnly and said:
"Come on! I will make you the Pope when the time comes!"
For effect, the "I" in this sentence is said in Hermetic. (End of chapter)
