Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 407
"O Creator, I have no choice but to come to the heaven without permission. I can't stay in that world, so I can only hide here with you."

"So, what's the reason?"

The Water Serpent's explanation is very short-lived because there is only one answer: it murdered the Fire Serpent.

"So, you killed the Fire Snake?"

"Not only did I commit transgression against the gods, but I also committed the first murder. My crime was serious and I deserved to be judged, but the judges of the mycoids are us. Therefore, I sentenced myself to exile."

"But why did you come out in the form of snake pill?"

"Because. Because the Earth of Horror didn't tell me that I would be eaten by you."

"Wait, why is he here to tell you? I thought the white snake who talks the most is the most important person between you."

"That's not the case. The first one to climb to the highest level we know and freeze at the sight of the truth was the Earth of Horror. It didn't dare to say what it saw. Although the seeds of the fire snake had been planted long ago, But it was the original snake.”

"Okay, I'll just believe you, because no matter how you explain it, it has nothing to do with me. What I care about is - you ran out, you know? We have an agreement that you are not allowed to leave your department. Continent.”

[Wait a minute, it’s not him who signed the contract with you.If it is a snake pill, you will make a three-part agreement with them after you get the snake pill.When you make a pact, it has already reached your hands.Well, that's why the early warning mechanism was not triggered.It's actually not against the rules if it comes out. 】

"Yes, that's true." Shangluo modified his wording and conveyed Apollonia's original words to Escape Water.

"This seems to be the case. But this involves another aspect: my Creator, as Snake Pill. I have committed the second major sin. I have no place in that world. I beg you not to Send me back, even if you eat me."

"Are you more afraid of facing your sins than being eaten? But you have to know that you are not the culprit, you are just the knife."

"Killing the fire snake was entirely out of my own idea, not because I was told to do it. Therefore, if you can eat me, my self-exile will be at an end."

"But since you think you can be eaten, why did you change places yesterday?"

"Because...well..." it hesitated, "because I don't want to die that much, and the gentleman said that he doesn't care what he eats, he just thinks that blue is good for his eyes. I don't want to be eaten immediately, so yesterday At night, I quietly returned my position to Qi Snake Dan."

[This guy seems to be enlightened, like other snakes.If he was still in the mushroom state and didn't think about himself at all, then he would probably be eaten without even trying to hide.But from another perspective, he sneaking out on his own can be regarded as proof of his wisdom.He knew the shame, so he wanted to find a place to hide. 】

Shangluo shook his head: "So you can't solve any problems by hiding from me. I'm going to deal with you - before I deal with you, is there anything else you want to say?"

"O Creator, I have a question for you: What can I do to cleanse myself of my sins?"

Shangluo was silent for a while and gave the answer:
"You have to know that sin can never be washed away. Just like if you swing a knife at a piece of wood, the knife has already been swung out. No matter how fast the wood heals, your behavior of swiping the knife will never disappear. This is a sin. '. But there is another level that you have not been able to understand: punishment. Crime is an ethical issue, and punishment has nothing to do with ethics, it is a social issue. Even cats and dogs in this world know that they will make mistakes, and they eat in secret. Eat; but this is not the case with punishment, which comes from top to bottom. Cats may not understand what punishment is, but dogs can easily understand it and take it as a warning."

"."

"Did you understand?" "No. I have never seen a cat or a dog." Escaped Water replied, "Maybe it's like you said, I'm a cat."

"You are not a cat. Instead, you are only thinking about the relationship between man and God. Even Neanderthals would think about this. But thinking about the relationship between man and society requires a society first. Many barbarians in the world just stay On the first level, but failed to properly handle the second level, and therefore became arbitrary and ignorant of restraint. But for you, you can think slowly, because even barbarians have the opportunity to read and write. As long as you know , now we just need to collect the penalty.”

"Understood." Escaped Water replied, "Please tell me."

"Well, actually there are three things about you. Let's talk about it backwards - the first one is that although you didn't swear, you smuggled into our country. You entered our territory without permission. A friend of mine spent a lot of effort Only then did they get a residence permit. Under normal circumstances, we treat this kind of behavior by sending them back to their place of origin."

"Please don't deport me! I really don't dare to go back! I don't dare to face those myconids again."

"Then the second thing: You murdered the Fire Snake, right? This matter has nothing to do with me. This is your internal behavior. There is a similar example. There is a man named Hideyoshi in Japan next door who once suffered from mental illness. , invaded Korea. Our country sent out its heavenly troops and defeated the bandits. Afterwards, in the country, a man named Minamoto Ieyasu exterminated the remnants of Hideyoshi's party - what you did is similar to this. Our evaluation is: as good as We have nothing to do with it. We did not express our anger at Minamoto Ieyasu because of Hideyoshi's sins, nor did we treat him leniently because of his actions in eradicating the remaining members of Hideyoshi's party. Because all of this has nothing to do with us. We are a superior country and gods, understand. Really? The fight between ants has nothing to do with us."

"Understood. What about the third one?"

"The third thing is what happened before: all snakes have to be punished in their own continents, and you ran away. You were not present when the punishment was given, so this matter is not over yet, and you have to make up for it now. To sum up, As mentioned above, your murder has nothing to do with me. You will be punished for smuggling and stealing. The two will be executed together and you will be sentenced to prison. It is different from exile. The prison sentence is more severe. You will be imprisoned in a designated place and undergo Labor rather than free movement in a penal colony - of course, it is also possible to change the sentence to exile, because your comrades are all exiles. So do you want to hire a lawyer to appeal? "

"No, no, no, no!" Escape Water quickly replied, "Just a prison sentence! A prison sentence is good! Please don't put me back! What kind of lawyer? No, no, no. It's good to be locked up."

"There is another principle when it comes to a prison sentence: you have to use your own labor income to support yourself, because I don't raise idlers - or idle snakes here. So in addition to staying in your own cell, you have to listen to my orders. "

"Where is the cell? Where is it?" He was as anxious as a hungry ghost who had been hungry for three years, trying to find a small room to hide in.

"Here." Shangluo raised the ball in his hand, with the needle still inserted in it, "Go in by yourself."

"okay!"

Following the needle, he entered the pill - there was no change in weight, because the snake pill itself did not go in, just the snake.When Shangluo took the Water Snake Pill out of the bag again, the Water Snake Pill had no movement and was as motionless as the other pills.

"Ah, it's pitch dark here. It's great. I can finally feel at ease." A voice came from the silver ball. "Do you have any instructions now? If you don't have any instructions, I want to take a nap - ah, I don’t know why. Although I know that my sins have not been cleared, I always feel that everything has been settled after being punished.”

[This is called Ju Ling dispatching generals. ] Apollonia's voice was filled with joy:

[Well, it’s just not using Taoism, but magic.The difference is that no spells are used.It figured it out on its own and got in on its own, but in fact it was locked in a cage and waiting to be dispatched just like a real general. 】

"Is this how you treat people over there?"

[Yes, those elves can't force it. They just talk to each other like this, or find a loophole to force them to sign a contract.There is no such thing as talismans. In principle, there is no such thing. Because the Romans were short-tongued and soft-handed, there was no way to use the law of heaven to punish them. This was the only way - but the effect was still about the same.Now you can put him to work, as a water snake he has the ability to transform and hide.It learned the Qi Snake Pill very vividly, and could also make the Qi Snake Pill mimic its own appearance.So, let him record Yanqiu's performance, and he should be able to learn it in a similar way.If you discuss it with her, you might be able to learn something about her professional qualities as an entertainer. 】
