What era is it, still traditional card making

Chapter 761 Three Growths

In one sentence, Cornelia and what she is doing now are defined.

Is the wanderer to be trusted, or is the temple to be trusted?

Any normal demon would know how to choose.

  The wanderers were basically those who had committed treason and were expelled from the various demon cities.

How can such criminals be trusted?

On the contrary, the temple has been rooted in Mingzhu City for hundreds of years, and Father Langbo is a very prestigious priest. Many ordinary demons are able to survive because of his grace.

  Compared to the Temple, Cornelia and the others have no advantage at all.

So what if the images they recorded and projected are all true events?

With just one word from Father Rambo, these images could be defined as a conspiracy by lawless elements intended to shake the foundations of the temple.

As expected, after the ordinary demon showed signs of wavering, Father Langbo continued to strike while the iron was hot:

"I have heard of this special magic tool for forging memories before. I don't know where you learned it from."

Cornelia's attention was not on Father Lambo who was not far away. She glanced at the faces of the demons around her.

Then he pulled Sabrina's hand and whispered:

"time to go?"

Unlike the calm Cornelia, Sabrina was very indignant because she was wrongly accused. She was about to argue but was interrupted by Cornelia's sudden words.

"Leave? If we leave now, won't that confirm what this old man said?"

Just as she was about to speak again, she suddenly heard footsteps.

A moment later, a group of knights in silver armor surrounded them.

Father Lang Bo smiled and said to them:

"I didn't arrest you before because you didn't break any laws from the beginning to the end. But now it's different. Everything you did was intended to shake the temple and the foundation of Mingzhu City. You have committed such a heinous crime. If I don't arrest you, how can I face my compatriots who trust me?"

  Cornelia just smiled coldly and replied:

"That sounds good, but do you dare to tell me everything the temple has done?"

"In the past hundreds of years, the temple has done only these two things: carving inscriptions for newborn babies and bidding farewell to dead compatriots. Ask them if we have ever concealed anything from them when we were doing these two things?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was immediately indignant. They all raised their hands high to support Father Langbo.

The two people standing opposite him suddenly became the targets of ordinary demons.

  Indeed, Father Langbo did not lie. What the temple has been doing has always been open and fair. The demons also know what the temple has been doing.

However, he did not say the disadvantages of the inscriptions, nor did he say where the inscriptions left behind by the corpses went.

And what he concealed are the most important things to the demon clan.

  Cornelia realized that she might have underestimated the faith of ordinary demons.

Even if she told all of this now, it would be impossible for her to gain the trust of any demon.

There is only one way for them to go now.

  Even without Cornelia telling her, Sabrina knew what she should do at this moment.

Open up a portal.

They successfully escaped from the siege of the Knights Templar and returned to the wooden house where they had lived for the past three days.

Ye Qiong was flipping through a book at this time. After noticing them coming back, he asked:

"Failed?"

Cornelia nodded, and then Sabrina rushed over as if she had suffered a great injustice, grabbed Ye Qiong's arm, and said with a little anger:

"Mr. Qiong, listen to me, those demons are too stupid. We clearly put the evidence in front of them, but they didn't believe it at all. Instead, when that old guy came out, he just said a few nonsense words, and they believed it all. This..."

“From your perspective, you would naturally think that the choices made by these demons were stupid. They had better magic runes but instead they had to abide by those broken rules, listen to the temple’s orders, and carve inscriptions for their children.

But have you ever wondered why they have so much trust in the temple?

  This is the reputation that Father Langbo and the temple have accumulated over hundreds of years. You have only been here for a few days, and you want to change the minds of ordinary demons and make them believe in you?

To achieve this, you have to resort to extreme measures.”

"Extreme measures?"

"Don't think about these for now."

Ye Qiong turned his attention to Cornelia. Seeing her discouraged look, he chuckled and said:

"Why, you can't handle a single failure?"

Cornelia shook her head and replied:

  "No, I just feel that this is different from what I have always known. We are clearly doing the right thing, so why do they think that what I am doing is wrong? Even if there is a demon who is willing to believe me, I think I can accept it, but no such demon appeared.

Including the first demon who accepted our experiment, even though the magic words were engraved on his body, he still believed in the words of the temple. "

  She raised her head, looked at Ye Qiong seriously, and continued:

"Brother, why do you think this is happening?"

The moment he heard these words, Ye Qiong understood that it was time for him to go to class.

He touched Cornelia's head and said:

“A person will experience three growths in his life. The first is to understand the right and wrong of things. The second is to understand that some things are not just right or wrong. The third is to understand that some things are not right or wrong, but still firmly do what you believe in and take responsibility for it.

  Cornelia, Sabrina, you should have understood by now that this world is not just about right and wrong.

Many factors may force what you believe to be right to become wrong.

Under such circumstances, I hope you can still stick to your original intentions and continue along the path you firmly believe in.

Just like now, are you going to give up saving the demons just because they deny you?"

Cornelia looked thoughtful, but she nodded firmly.

Ye Qiong looked at Cornelia and asked:

"And you, Cornelia, what do you think?"

In response to Ye Qiong's question, she was silent for a while before continuing:

"Brother, I don't want to." "Why?"

"Why?"

Cornelia simply replied with these three words.

"Brother, you once told me that it's okay to help others, but it can never be a one-sided effort.

I researched the magic runes and found a way forward for the demons. I think I have done enough for them.

  Since they are unwilling to give up the current inscription, why should I do such a thankless task?

Brother, we are the Gatherers, right? What matters to us is not the survival of the races on the surface, but the survival of the world.

It is not important for us whether the demons can continue to survive on this land.

Whether the world can function normally is the most important thing for us.

Therefore, I think we don't need to worry about the demon race and the inscriptions anymore, we should directly solve the destructive factors that exist in this world.

I think this is the right thing for us to do.”

Upon hearing this, Sabrina immediately refuted:

"So what should we do with these demons?"

  “After this failure, I realized that it would take too much time to change their mindsets. What if during this period, someone used the collected inscriptions to do something detrimental to the survival of the world?

Sabrina, we should prioritize our tasks.

First, we need to ensure the survival of the world, and then we can talk about saving the demons."

Watching the two little girls arguing in front of him, Ye Qiong found it very interesting.

He also didn't expect that after experiencing a failure, Cornelia would change so much.

Yes, she was not a compassionate person from the beginning to the end.

After realizing that the demon tribe was not worth her continued time, she decisively chose to complete the main task.

  What is primary and what is secondary,

She understood the difference very clearly and behaved quite rationally.

  As for Sabrina, she was born under the World Tree and has great kindness towards all life.

Even though she was treated unfairly by the demons, she still wanted to save them.

  If Sabrina is an ordinary elf, there is nothing wrong with this character.

But she is the future Queen of the Elves.

As the ancestor of a clan, can he really lead such a large clan of elves when he behaves so naively?

Ye Qiong felt that it was necessary for him to let Sabrina learn how to correctly lead a race during this journey.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qiong made a decision and said to them:

"Since you have different opinions, why don't we do this? Cornelia, you go to the Demon Clan's royal city to look for the whereabouts of the inscription, and Sabrina, you stay here and try to change the minds of the local Demon Clan."

After hearing this, the two women thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

If you want to prove that what you are doing is right, the easiest way is to produce results.

  Seeing that they agreed, Ye Qiong left a mark on each of them in case of emergency, and then said:

"Okay, go ahead and do what you want to do."

The two women nodded firmly and then flew to different places.

Cornelia flew to the northwest, where was the imperial city of the demon tribe, while Sabrina flew to the southeast.

  It was a gathering place for wanderers.

This failure made her realize one thing, that is, the faith of the residents in the town was too strong.

It is impossible to change their minds with words alone.

If you want to change the current situation of the demon clan, you must first start with their weakest link.

  homeless,

This is a group that is naturally opposed to the temple.

They do not believe in King Gu Lei, nor are they willing to continue carving inscriptions on their bodies. They simply rely on their strong willpower to survive on this land.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

  It was based on this idea that Sabrina came to the gathering place of wanderers.

She wanted to use this as a foundation to develop her power.

  As long as a large number of improved inscriptions are successfully engraved, as long as ordinary demons can see the actual benefits,

No matter how firm their beliefs are, they will gradually be changed by these interests.

After the two of them left, Ye Qiong was the only one left in the cabin again.

  He casually snapped his fingers and hid the entire wooden house.

Judging from the current performance of Cornelia and Sabrina, he no longer needs to worry.

All that's left is to wait for them to hand in their test papers.

Before that, he just needs to stay in this wooden house and wait.

  Through the vision provided by the Eye of the Sky, he could clearly see that the Imperial City was not peaceful at the moment.

This generation of Demon King seems to be planning something.

A grand ceremony is sweeping across the entire Tucker continent.

  According to Ye Qiong's experience, it would take at least 15 days to complete this ceremony.

In the first fourteen days, he would not take the initiative to stop the ceremony.

After all, Cornelia had volunteered, so he naturally had to give Cornelia enough time to deal with the impending destructive elements.

  If she could solve this disaster by her own strength, then Ye Qiong could tell her with relief:

"You are already a qualified twig picker."

If Cornelia couldn't stop it, then the remaining day would be enough for him to solve everything.

After this, Ye Qiong will slowly teach Cornelia and gradually train her to become an independent branch picker.

Ten days later,

  Sabrina and Cornelia's plans have made great progress.

The first was Sabrina, who successfully gathered the wanderers around Pearl City, taught them the modified inscriptions, and gained their loyalty.

Everything she did was seen by the temple.

  During this period, the Temple has been trying to encircle and eliminate the unstable elements led by Sabrina.

Sabrina used her strange and varied means to escape the siege of the temple many times.

  Father Langbo realized that the rebels were not simple and asked for support from the headquarters of the Imperial City.

But ten days passed and there was no reply from the headquarters to Father Lambo.

Father Langbo understood that something might have happened at the headquarters, which was why they had not responded yet.

  He was very self-aware, and he knew that it was impossible to wipe out the rebels with his own abilities.

Between trying to suppress the bandits and starting the war, he chose to try to start the war.

Anyway, the headquarters doesn't care about this matter, so why should I work so hard?

Then play music and then dance!
