Chaos Crown

Chapter 84, Theory of Good and Evil

The same white ward, the same white sheets.

The expressionless Aaron didn't show any expression, no matter whether he saw a bucket full of blood-stained bandages or a sawn off limb, he couldn't make any waves in his heart.

At this time, Aaron was numb and lacked any empathy, because all these feelings had been sucked away by the incarnation of Slaanesh. He could only feel that he was now in a real "sage time", and he could not mix any Thinking personally and emotionally.

He's surprisingly calm, and rightfully ruthless at the same time.

"Your Excellency?" The doctor in charge of leading him looked at Aaron cautiously. Not only did he have no expression on his face, but even his eyes were extremely empty and indifferent, and he couldn't help being afraid.

In the battle of Dark Light Village, those who summon the gods, face the purple dragon knights of the outer gods!

Challenge the gods with a mortal body, and finally summon the gods to fight with them!

The story has spread from the few surviving fishermen of Darklight Village, and now all of Suzar and Masampe know of Aaron-Salian's feat.

When everyone is on the verge of madness, only he has the courage, only he still believes.

But these two days of contact, this kingdom hero is really unpredictable.

Whether it's the grateful fishermen couple, or the mentor of the knight order, the chief inspector who came to see him later, or the dignitaries of Susar, his fellow recruits, doctors like himself, His Excellency Viscount Salian will always They are all so expressionless, unsmiling, and show no emotion.

Is this the surplus of the strong?
"Sir Leonard? Not in his ward?" Aaron said dryly.

"Yes, he... Sir Leonard just woke up and insisted that he should not waste the kingdom's finances. He said that he was fine and must get up to help." The doctor said cautiously: "It just so happens that we are short of manpower, so we sent him It was assigned to the children's clinic."

"Good allocation, the children's clinic has always been the busiest and most error-prone in the hospital." Aaron glanced at the doctor coldly.

The doctor was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to say another word.

Passing by Leonard's ward, several elderly nurses sent out a bed sheet that was dyed black and had many ink spots on it. The bed where the person should have been lying was empty, only the curtains blown by the autumn wind were raised A large piece of white, Aaron glanced into the ward: "Where is the person?"

"Here, Your Excellency."

In a small consulting room, Leonard who had just woken up was already sitting on a chair. His long blond hair, bright smile and handsome face made him the most shining scenery in the ward.

The university president is talking to a child.

"Where does it hurt? Is it the head or the stomach?" Leonard's fingertips emitted a holy light, and he was planning to use lay on hands to treat the child's pain.

"Head." The child tilted his head.

"Where is the head?" the paladin asked kindly.

"Stomach." The child was obviously impatient.

Leonard: "..."

"What kind of doctor are you? Can you treat it?" The parent next to him was already angry, and he was about to rush up and grab the paladin's collar: "I don't even know whether the child has a stomachache or a headache. If my child Whatever happens, you must be responsible!"

"Then take your child and get out." Aaron stopped in front of the man, the purple dragon knight emblem on his chest reflected a cold light in the sun: "Immediately, or I will attack the purple dragon with you!" Charge you with knighthood."

The man fled with the child.

Ten minutes later, Leonard's ward.

"Actually, you don't have to do that." Leonard leaned against the head of the bed, and closed his eyes: "He is just anxious, children are different from adults, they can't tell what is uncomfortable, Aaron, you don't have to behave have to……"

"When I show kindness, others will think that I must always be kind. If I am not kind enough one day, it will automatically be equated with being evil." Aaron leaned against the wall with his arms folded: "There is no evil, how can Yang Good? There is a contrast to make a difference... As for you, senior, why don't you take a good rest in the ward?"

"The energy of lay on hands will recover after praying every day. Didn't I want to waste it?" Leonard said shyly, "I like children, no matter how unreasonable he is, you shouldn't do that. Brother, if you do this again, I will criticize you, it is wrong to ignore death."

"I'm the one who should criticize you." Aaron closed his eyes: "The registered population of Cormyr is 130 million, while there are only 800-1000 registered paladins."

"Excluding those families with resources and ability, there will be about 100 million people who need the help of paladins."

"In a simple conversion, a paladin will be responsible for the needs of more than 1000 people. These needs are varied. In addition to medical treatment, redemption, protection, justice, notarization, and adjudication also include field work and expulsion of evil."

Leonard fell silent.

"It is said that a paladin's life has two stages." Aaron opened his eyes and looked up at the wooden ceiling.

"The first stage is for ideals, full of passion and ambition, firmly believing that life and justice will not cease, and putting all your strength into the stage of dreams."

"The second stage is the stage where you have become numb, have gone through vicissitudes, and are still full of faith, but you have learned to refuse, learn to give up, and know how to put your limited energy into the immediate career, and try to do what you can first. "

"Senior, I can say that any paladin who firmly believes and does not give up his sacred oath will enter the second stage sooner or later. A really good paladin, if you always feel like you're responsible for everything, it's not only hurting you, it's hurting others."

Leonard raised his head and looked at his junior, as if he was getting to know him again.

Is that passionate, brave and fearless hero really the person in front of me?
"So, we understand each other." The headmaster cast his eyes out of the window, his enthusiasm faded, and a trace of fatigue finally appeared on his always enthusiastic and bright face: "I sometimes understand that this is not a world that can be changed by hard work. "

Leonard turned his head abruptly, his eyes filled with bright and holy light: "It's not that justice is too weak, it's because I'm weak, but I never regret doing so."

That is the power that belongs only to the paladins!Vibes from the Multiverse!
"If I don't stand up as a paladin, who else will stand up?"

Aaron was silent.

"You have your understanding of kindness and justice, junior, but I also have mine." Leonard continued, "It's like something I've been thinking about since I woke up."

"We rescued the fisherman girl. No matter what method you used, we succeeded. It's amazing."

"But there are only 32 survivors in Dark Light Village, and nearly 150 people died in this disaster."

"Sacrificing nearly 1 people to save one person, does this behavior really make us worthy of the title of hero?"

Aaron was silent.

It was his negotiation with the incarnation of Cthulhu to save the sacrificed fisherman girl and transform it back into a human being, but he could negotiate one condition through the coming of Slaanesh, but it was impossible to negotiate so many conditions.

"In terms of general rationality, this is a very regrettable result. From the perspective of process theory, we are not doing well enough, but in that case, we can't do anything, and... this is a very lucky result." Aaron shook his head : "Practically speaking, the possibility that there is no way to save everyone is real. This is not a problem that can be solved by us working harder."

"And... we have not only saved one person, every time the incarnation of the old ruler comes, it will destroy at least the lives of all creatures within fifteen kilometers."

"We tried our best, senior, we have done our best, you don't have to take all the responsibilities on your shoulders." Aaron sighed, his eyes were as cold as a thousand years of ice, and he looked directly at Leonard: " It's false egotism if you're just trying to justify the casualties of our rescue operation by treating that child with lay on hands."

The paladin suddenly felt heart-wrenching pains, he clutched his chest hard, and groaned.

Language is sometimes the spring breeze that comforts people's hearts, and sometimes it is the sharp sword that hurts people the deepest!

But loyal words are hard to hear, and the truest words are the most hurtful, but they are the most effective and sincere.

How long had he not felt this pain?
Do I have a hypocritical side deep in my heart?

After a long time, Leonard rubbed his chest and squeezed out a smile: "Thank you, junior."

"You're welcome, senior." Aaron remained expressionless: "How is Senior Disma?"

"Him? He's still in a coma." Leonard shook his head: "The pastor said that he was deeply traumatized and needed to rest for a while to recover slowly... None of us thought that the tavern owner was also an accomplice, but who could tell?" Can you imagine it?"

"Why is the tavern owner a friend of the magician, what kind of faction he is, and what purpose he had before? Maybe these will become an eternal mystery after the death of the magician and him." Aaron nodded. : "However, maybe we can find some clues from other places."

"...Speaking of which, senior, you are over 20 this year, don't you plan to get married?" Aaron suddenly changed the subject inexplicably.

The paladin was silent, he let the autumn wind blow on his clothes, after a while, he said slowly:

"I have dedicated my life to my Lord."

"I remember that the Three Gods of Justice didn't prohibit their paladins from getting married, right?" Aaron said casually, "But this is your right, and I won't interfere with you."

"In this regard, you seem to be a follower of Our Lady of Silver, junior." Leonard said with a smile, "I don't like to interfere with others."

But the smile on the paladin's face soon stagnated.

A petite aristocratic girl with brown princess braids and a petite figure was standing at the door, her big watery eyes were full of tears, her hands were tangled together, she didn't come in, she didn't come in, she just stared at her with sad eyes. With a paladin.

"Please." Aaron ignored Leonard's voice and left the ward directly, leaving room for two people.

He remembered that this noble lady was called Maria Lysa, and she had a close relationship with the headmaster... Well, it is said that the knight instructor is promoting this matter.

Aaron thought he would feel ridiculed or playful.

No, nothing.

People are numb.

Now I have no feelings.

But it is precisely because of this reason that Aaron and Leonard have this heart-opening dialogue.

After the previous battle in Dark Light Village, Aaron has already determined that this is a friend who is truly worthy of confidance and entrustment, otherwise he would never come to Leonard alone and say these offensive things to him.

This is the embodiment of Tzeentch's power, every word and every word is directed at people's hearts.

The power of Slaanesh will not be used in a short time, and the power of Tzeentch is his biggest reliance during this time.

If it weren't for the "sage's time", he really couldn't say these words.

After returning to his ward, he greeted the two Queen's Blades at the door, and Aaron began to count the gains during this period.

Group after group of people came to see him, and all of them gave some gifts more or less.

Some are just simple fruits, food, and comfort items, which Aaron just keeps for his own use.

But there were also very precious gifts.

Havel, the son of the Minister of Shipping, sent an onyx and a spinel, which are excellent materials for forging extraordinary equipment.

Lucian, the mentor of the Purple Dragon Knights, and several of his father's old friends sent a set of silver wine glasses, a set of ivory dice, and a set of ivory chess, in order to make him not so boring when he was recuperating.

The aunt's family just came here not long ago, and they seemed to have emptied their savings to give them a jade amulet made of white jade, apparently blessed by the priest.

Aaron put it on without hesitation.

On behalf of the Purple Dragon Knights, the Inspector-General sent a golden ticket with 2000 Golden Lion coins printed on the photo of Ms. Fortune, and at the same time, the Inspector-General also sent a piece of his personal condolences.

A pure white silk scarf.

What a meaningful gift, Aaron picked up the silk scarf and his mind was moved. He knew that now the Purple Dragon Knights had announced that the trio’s trip to the Dark Light Village was ordered by the Knights, and the Purple Dragon Knights would always protect the safety of the people Responsible.

There are also many dignitaries from Susar who have sent many exquisite gifts.

Such as silk robes with gold embroidery, small mirrors in painted wooden frames, and large tapestry with exquisite workmanship.

After a little calculation, Aaron received gifts of more than 5000 Golden Lion coins in this wave.

Money is so easy to come by, Aaron grumbled inwardly.

But he didn't feel any joy either, he just looked around casually and put away the things.

Princess Regent Alice Searle has already paid attention to this matter, and she sent a message through the Queen's Blade, saying that Aaron will come to the palace to see him after he has rested.

There must be a reward for this. Aaron really saved face for the royal family of Obesziel this time.

Is it the Princess Regent?Aaron pondered the method.

Can't wait any longer, for Alice Searle, he should attack as soon as possible, try to have a good talk with her, without her support, he will definitely not be able to fight God Son Bane, but if he can take her down, he will have A few chances.

There was a noise at the door, the Queen's Blade stopped the people coming, but they were ordered to back away by a coquettish voice.

"Aaron~ My sister is here~"

The long pink hair rushed into the room like lightning, she opened her arms and threw herself towards her younger brother in the air.

Miss Warlock came to visit him.

Meanwhile, the Church of Our Lady of Silver in Suzar.

"Your Excellency, I have to leave early today." Eleanor, who was wearing a standard priest's robe, asked the church priest for leave very rarely.

"Are you going to visit Your Excellency Sallyan?" The priestess smiled.

"Yeah." Eleanor's face flushed slightly, and she looked determined, even a little displeased: "I think he needs me now."

You didn't call me for such a dangerous move, Aaron Salian, you're screwed!

The pastor thought bitterly, and clenched her fists.

"Okay, then you go quickly."
