She was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes.
Until Tiana’s impatient voice came:
"Go to my pharmacy first to get medicine and treat your burn wounds. Is this difficult to understand? Do you want me to teach you in person?"
"Human nature is complex and three-dimensional, just like a deck of cards. It may play two completely different behaviors under different circumstances..."
“It’s not uncommon for good people to secretly do immoral things where no one else can see them, and bad people to suddenly do good things.”
"I think you should have seen good people get angry. Have you ever seen bad people show a gentle side? In fact, there are some. I have seen one - that is an extremely selfish evil wizard, but in others When his interests are not touched, he will occasionally show a slightly better side to others."
"That is to say...actually some so-called 'black magicians' are not sentenced to death. Maybe they are still heroes in the eyes of other people - but of course, they still have to be arrested. This is ours Responsibilities.”
In the squad leader's office at the Demon Search Corps barracks, Jonathan was enthusiastically talking about his views on "good guys and bad guys, magic and black magicians."
Chen Ce, who had been pulled to listen to these "philosophies" since he came back from the Hall of Heroes, nodded and yawned.
Jonathan paused for a moment, then said cautiously: "So... you should be able to understand my behavior of being late today...? You know, good people sometimes do bad things..."
"Yeah, I know." Chen Ce yawned again, "But we can't think that a bad person is a good person just because he has done some bad things, right? Although both good and bad people may do good and bad things, we have to look at it from the overall perspective. To judge a person dialectically, right?"
"Uh......"
"Captain, actually I know that you come in half an hour late every day."
"Cough cough..."
"So this shouldn't be considered occasional, right? It's considered occasional if you come here sometimes normally, right?"
"Oh, that's not what it says..." Jonathan was sweating profusely, "I didn't have a choice before, but now I just want to be a good person..."
"It's fine, it's up to you. What does this have to do with me?" Chen Ce was really feeling sleepy. "You are the captain, so what does it matter if you are late for a while? Is it possible that I can still catch you being late?"
"It's about role models... I still want to set a good example for you... Really..." Jonathan looked a little funny while sweating profusely and speaking righteously.
After pondering for a while, he then whispered: "What I mean is...can you not tell Swordsman Captain Galen Crownguard...?"
"Huh?" The map of Yan Kingdom was a bit long, and Chen Ce didn't realize it.
"I saw Swordsman Captain Galen coming today... He came to see you... and took you there..." Jonathan rubbed his hands flatteringly, looking a bit wretched. "The next time you go out...can you please stop talking about me...?"
"Who said you..."
"Then what if Swordsman Commander Galen takes the initiative to ask you...?"
"I just told you to clock in on time every day."
"Hey, okay, okay... thank you so much!" Jonathan enthusiastically gave up his position to the other party, as if Chen Ce was the captain of the squad - or the official who came from above for a "private visit".
Chen Ce was helpless for a while.
After a moment of silence, Jonathan said again in that humble tone:
"Well...actually, I have one more thing to ask you..."
"Just say whatever you want." Chen Ce shook his head.
"Then I asked directly...?"
"Just ask."
"It's just..." Jonathan rubbed his hands again, with a humble attitude as if he was afraid that the other party would be fired if he was unhappy - even though he was the squad leader, huh.
"That is to say...I want to ask..."
"Do you want me to step into the military camp with my left foot first or my right foot every day?"
Chen Ce:......
--------------------------------------
Another day of fishing.
After Jonathan spent a long time fishing, he went to lead the team members for training, while Chen Ce spent the second half of the day hiding in the squad leader's office fishing.
But just when he was about to leave work and go back to Sona to play happily, the owner of the office suddenly came back.
"Are you busy, Brother Cezi?" Jonathan greeted respectfully.
"No. What's wrong, captain?" Chen Ce also stood up from his seat.
"That's it." After what happened this morning and what he heard, Jonathan had completely put himself in a humble position. "I've sent you a mission from above, so I need to trouble you."
"I?"
"Oh, right...it's not that I want to trouble you, it's...that the higher-ups asked you to go."
"You want me to go by name?" Chen Ce was stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought of something.
What should come will always come - those little unnecessary troubles that pose no threat to him.
Tiana.
She couldn't let her husband, Eldred, the leader of the Demon Searching Corps, cause a little trouble without knowing what he was doing to her.
"I don't know why... the regional liaison asked you by name." Jonathan scratched his head, "Actually, I also find it very strange. If you want to know the reason, I will go and ask you later."
"No need." Chen Ce, who was as clear as a mirror, waved his hand.
"Then...this mission..."
"What do you tell me first?"
"It is also a mission to search for black magicians." Jonathan took out an internal notice from the Demon Search Corps, "But the location is not in Xiongdu, but in... yes, Fosbarrow. Look, here."
Jonathan pointed to the map on the wall.
A highland town in northwest Demacia.
Speaking of which... this town is named after the Crownguard family.
"The mission information says that something suspected of being a black magician has appeared in Forsbarrow and has killed several innocent people. Now we need a few people to go over there and investigate."
"Yes, I understand." Chen Ce nodded and thought to himself.
This mission... seems to have nothing worth paying attention to, and there are no heroes on Fosbarrow's side - Quinn is in Owendale, Fiona is in Xiongdu, and there is nothing worth exploring there.
Then there is no need for this mission - there is no benefit in going through it and you will be disgusted by Eldred's people.
Just ask the prince to help with the operation and reject this task.
After thinking about it, Chen Ce was about to refuse.
But at this moment, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in his mind——
[Accept...go...don't refuse...]
It’s Ram, the peeping demon who hasn’t spoken for a long time.
[There is the secret I want...another demon...]
[After spying... I will give you strength...]
Chapter 82 The fallen angel did not break his wings
Chen Ce finally got off work.
On the way back, he remembered what Ram said to him again...when the team leader Jonathan told him that he had a mission.
【Fosbairo has the secret I want】
【Another Devil】
……
Ram said so.
The sunset in the evening is very beautiful, with touches of pink and orange hanging in the sky, just like the romance in the painter's pen and ink.But Chen Ce knew that after the beautiful sunset, there was a silent night.
Fosbairo's devil...if it were Fosbairo...
A demon did appear there.
And that was many years ago - in the original timeline, both Lux and Galen saw the incarnation of the devil.In that small, remote town, they faced their demonic fears.
The final ending... is neither good nor bad.A child controlled by a demon was saved, but many people died.
After that, the demon never appeared again, but Chen Ce knew that it was not because the demon was defeated - neither Lux's flash nor Galen's sword could hurt the demon itself.
It didn't appear simply because it walked away on its own.
The reason is unknown.
Maybe it just feels like there's nothing worth "devouring" there...?There may be some other reasons...but in short, the demon has not dissipated.
That demon is...
【Nightmare·Nocturne】
A very young devil.
Its history, let alone super-ancient demons like Scarecrow and Evelyn, even Ram is definitely not comparable to it.
"Is it really Nocturne...it has appeared again in Forsbarrow after so many years...?"
"No... not only when Lux and Galen went there... Nocturne had appeared in Forsbarrow even earlier..."
"This town is named after an ancestor of the Crownguard family... He was the first person to fight against Nocturne... At that time, he pierced the monster's chest with a silver sword, and then fell off the cliff with him. …”
"Disappeared twice and returned three times..."
"Just like Mordekaiser."
Chen Ce was walking on the street muttering to himself, and suddenly changed direction - instead of going home directly, he felt that he should go to an insider now.
Lacus.
The Crownguard's manor is not far away. If you walk quickly, you can reach it in only half an hour.
The spacious and magnificent manor soon came into view.
Chen Ce looked at the guard at the door, and then at the paths inside the manor... After a moment of thinking, he decided to "break in" directly.
The deceptive magic was launched, and his invisible body instantly passed through the thick iron gate and wall, and appeared directly at the other end of the manor.
After following the path in my memory, I soon saw the blond girl in a study in the southwest of the manor.
At that time, she was sitting boredly at her desk, spinning her pen. The look in her eyes as she looked at the book was full of longing for the outside world.She seemed to be studying, but not quite.
Just like every adolescent girl who is full of love and longs for love and freedom.
"Good afternoon." Chen Ce lay in front of the window and broke his invisibility by speaking.
To Lux, it seemed like a face suddenly appeared out of thin air and stuck to the window.
"Eh?!" She was startled.
"Open the door, open the door..." Chen Ce knocked on the window with his forehead like an innocent soul seeking his life.
"Mr. Chen Ce...? How did you..." Lux was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly opened the window. "Stop making trouble..."
"Did it scare you?" Chen Ce happily climbed through the window and entered the house, very much like the old Chen next door who came to steal sex.
"It's a bit...you can do something unexpected every time..."
"Thanks for the exaggeration."
"I'm not praising you...!" Lux pretended to smile helplessly, but she couldn't hide the joy in her beautiful eyes.
She was very happy to see Chen Ce.
She was even more happy to see Chen Ce during the boring study time.
"Why are you here suddenly? Just wait...I'll make you tea."
"No need." Chen Ce sat by the window and held the girl's hand, "Instead of drinking here, why don't you go and drink with me to find your sister Sona?"
"Eh? Do you want to go out?"
"is it okay?"
"This is..."
"You shouldn't be grounded now, right?"
