messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 18 It turns out that heat is transported
"Do you like to read books?"

Walking on the wooden stairs of the library, the old man asked Chu.

"I don't watch it often." Chu looked at the old man walking in front of him, and answered his question.

She didn't say whether she liked it or not, because she didn't know whether she liked it or not.

"That's a pity." The old man's tone was a little regretful, but also a little relieved, at least he didn't say that he hated books at first.

Many people today no longer want to read books.

He raised his eyes, looked at the books that had accompanied him for decades and said softly.

"I have been an administrator in this library for a long time, and during this long period of time, I am more and more convinced of one thing."

As the old man was walking, he casually took a book from the bookshelf beside the stairs, held it in his hand, and flipped through it.

"These books are the greatest gifts to us from the people of the past. They are the treasures of civilization. The answers to all people's questions are contained in them. They will point out the direction for everyone who is deeply lost."

Just like himself before.

The old man seemed to have a very deep feeling for these books. He walked on the stairs, touching the pages of the books, very gentle and careful, just like stroking the face of his lover.

The two were chatting, and before they knew it, they had already reached No. 30 No. [-] bookshelf on the fourth floor.

The old man took down the book titled "Modern Theory of the Four Kingdoms" very skillfully, handed it to Chu, and said gently.

"Tell your friend that books borrowed according to regulations must be returned within a week, but they can be borrowed again, so please pay attention to the time."

"Ah."

I received the book for the first time, judging from the yellowed paper and cover, the book should have been old for some time, but the pages are still strong and the cover is clean and tidy.

It can be seen that someone is cleaning and repairing it from time to time, so it is well maintained.

After getting the book, Chu also prepared to leave.

But just as she was about to go downstairs, the old man stopped her.

"Young man, if you don't mind, take this book back and read it, maybe it will help you."

As he spoke, he handed another book to Chu, which was the one he took by the stairs just now.

At the beginning, she didn't understand how a book would help her, but she didn't mind reading a book once in a while as a pastime.

Nodding in thanks, he put the book away, then turned and left.

Looking at Chu Li's back, the old man stood beside the bookshelf with his hands behind his back.

Because of Chu's breath, when Chu entered the library, he saw Chu.

Being a saint makes him sensitive to a person's breath.

The aura on Chu's body was too terrifying, so he deliberately released it for Chu.He didn't know if there was something in Chu, but he didn't want to see a person go on a twisted path because of this.

Hope it helps her.

Sighing, the old man tidied up the bookshelves.

······
In the afternoon, Hillman finished dealing with state affairs and walked out of his bedroom.

Although it's the deep winter, but because there are warm magic runes in the room, it doesn't make people feel cold at all.

There was no one else in the room, and Hillman didn't care about anything. He walked into the hall wearing only a thin gauze dress.

The gauze skirt clearly outlined the contours and curves of her body, her white legs were exposed, without shoes, her bare feet stepped on the cool floor.Her hair has not been carefully combed, and it simply hangs behind her back. This lazy look makes her look very attractive.

It's a pity that the other person sitting in the hall was not attracted by the queen's appearance at all. She was sitting quietly on a sofa, holding a book in her hand, and seemed to be engrossed in reading it.

After I came back from borrowing books, I have been sitting here reading the book, maybe I was too focused on reading, and I didn't even notice that Hillman came out.

Hillman smiled quietly, walked to Chu's side, and sat down gently.

Only then did Chu see Hillman, and he quickly stood up, bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I didn't notice you."

"It's okay." Hillman put his legs on the sofa and pointed to the seat beside him.

"Sit down too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu respectfully sat down again.

The sofa is very large, and it still looks very spacious for two people to sit down.

When she first got used to sitting upright, her body was straight, just like her character, she was meticulous.

On the other hand, Hillman looked more lazy and casual. She sat with her back leaning against the armrest of the sofa, her legs resting casually on Chu's legs.

At this time, Chu was not wearing armor, and was wearing an ordinary black uniform. This was Hillman's order. She didn't like Chu always wearing armor, because it was uncomfortable to lean against.

Chu continued to look at the book in her hand, and Hillman didn't bother her, picked up the "Modern Theory of the Four Kingdoms" on the table and began to read it by himself.

The afternoon was quiet and peaceful, the two sat on the sofa, no one spoke, only the occasional sound of flipping a book softly.

But for some reason, just such a simple time made Hillman feel very comfortable. The time seemed to be gentle, and it was slowly passing by bit by bit, as if he didn't want to end this silent afternoon too early.

After Hillman finished reading half of the book in her hand, she slowly closed the book and stretched.

She looked in front of her, still looking at the book in her hand raptly.

This made her a little curious, what kind of book would make her take it so seriously at first glance.

"Chu, what are you looking at?"

Hillman sat up, approached Chu and asked.

Hillman's voice brought Chu Chu back to her senses from the book. She looked at Hillman and closed the book halfway, revealing the cover of the book.

"It was given to me by an old man when I borrowed the book. He said that this book might help me."

When Hillman heard that the book was given to Chu by an old man in the library, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon he smiled lightly in relief, and looked at the name of the book in Chu's hand.

""The Covenant", this is indeed a good book, is there anything you like?"

Chu opened the book, turned to a page and pointed to a paragraph of text.

"I think this paragraph is very special."

"Oh?" Hillman asked curiously.

"Can you read it to me?"

"Yes." Chu nodded slightly, held the book in front of his face, and began to read aloud.

"At the beginning of the world, God created man, and when man was born, his soul was flawed, so evil was born in the flaw of their soul.

The evil spread among the people, making people miserable, and finally, they could bear it no longer.An old man found the god, knelt down and begged the god to take away the evil.

The gods took pity on the misery of human beings, and sent an envoy to the world to take away the evil.

The messenger came to the world and brought the evil out of the crowd.Evil was attached to his body, biting his flesh, but his body was strong, and he was not afraid of the bite of evil at all. He easily subdued the evil and restored peace to the world.

Peace came, people indulged in beauty, but they were flawed, and a new evil was born.

Under the torment of the crime, the people once again asked the old man to pray to the gods, but the gods had no choice but to send another messenger.

This time when the messenger took away the sin, the sin gnawed at his soul and made him miserable.The messenger persevered with his unyielding will, and finally let the evil dissipate from the world.

But not long after, the old man came before the god for the third time.

He said that evil appeared in the world again, and begged the gods to let the messenger come again.

After a long silence, the god agreed.

The messenger came to the world and almost exhausted all his strength to drag the evil out.Sin devoured him, corroded his incomparably powerful body, and his will no longer worked.

When the weak messenger returned to the gods, he was so full of sin that even the gods could not heal him.The messenger smiled and bowed his head, kissed the toes of the god, and died under the knee of the god.

The fourth crime reappeared in the crowd without accident.

At this time, no matter how much people prayed, the gods never sent another messenger.

So evil is left in the world for a long time, and it will never stop tormenting the people of the world. "

······
The initial reading was not good, there was no emotion in her tone, and her voice was flat, but she read very seriously and pronounced every word clearly.

Hillman sat beside Chu, staring at Chu's side face steadily.

The lines of the first profile face are beautiful, and the left side of the face does not have that scar, making her look like the most beautiful creation of God.

Seeing Chu's light pink lips open and close, his white teeth biting lightly, and the short black hair hanging beside his small earlobes, Hillman turned his head slightly and leaned on the sofa.

sin.

She probably knew why Chu Chu felt that this passage was very special, because the mission of the envoy of God was so similar to hers.

"At first, do you believe in God?"

Hillman leaned on the sofa and asked.

Chu stopped reading aloud, thought for a while, and replied.

"do not know."

Hillman smiled, Chu's answer was within her expectations, because Chu would always answer "don't know" when faced with questions.

I don't know if I really don't know, or if I'm just avoiding something.

"I don't believe in God." Hillman gave his own answer: "But I believe in faith."

Chu looked at Hillman suspiciously, she didn't understand what Hillman meant.

Hillman explained with a smile.

"Because faith can make people believe when there is nothing to believe, but God cannot."

She believes in faith, because most of the time, only faith can support her to continue on her own path.

After thinking about Hillman's words for the first time, after a while, he seemed to say with some dejection.

"I have no faith either."

She has no beliefs, she only performs tasks.

In the hall, Hillman suddenly and lightly grabbed Chu's chin, and turned Chu's face around.

In Chu's dazed eyes, she pressed her forehead against Chu's forehead.

"You can trust me." Hillman smiled and said softly with his eyes closed.

"I would like to bestow upon you my glory, to illuminate your path."

It's also her king's duty to lead the way of her subordinates, isn't it?

Chu Qing leaned against Hillman's forehead, his dazed and plain expression remained unchanged, but his cold body was warmed up a little.
