The Spirit World

Chapter 537: Secular Theory (Part )
【202 Charles Street】

"Third, are you ready?" Pylos touched the compass in his hand. The needle on it was pointing in one direction, the direction of Skarner. Skarner was in Frannos and had not come back.

The storm has not ended yet. The entire city of Fulan has been experiencing rain for seven days and seven nights, with no sign of ending. The water in the city is overflowing, causing the entire sewer system to explode. At this rate, there will definitely be a flood.

Pylos put the cowboy hat on his head, and III followed suit and put a similar cowboy hat on his head. Their golden hair looked soft and shiny in the water.

"Well, I'm ready!" The Third World straightened his plain clothes and straightened his chest. He looked at the water curtain that seemed to be falling from the sky, and stared ahead with bright eyes.

Tang Zilong put the spiritual firearm into his waistband, pulled his white coat to his side to hide the firearm, rubbed his hands, clenched his fists, and was ready to go.

Pylos looked at Tang Zilong and squinted at him: "What are you doing?"

"Go find Skarner." Tang Zilong took out the pistol from his waist again.

"Sanshi and I can go. It's already troublesome for me to take care of Sanshi if you're at home. I'll have to take care of you later. Do you want to tire me to death?"

"Tsk, who needs your care?" Tang Zilong looked at the rain curtain angrily, turned his head to the third generation: "Hey, your grandfather Pylos is biased, he takes you with him wherever he goes, and never takes me to play~"

"We are going to look for someone, not to fight." Sanshi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Grandpa Tang Zilong obviously wants to fight, he definitely won't want you to go."

"I want to go~ Tang Zilong wants to go!" Tang Zilong pinched Sanshi's face coquettishly: "It's too boring to stay here."

"Let's not do that." Kraft came over, holding a biscuit in his hand and took a bite: "Tang Zilong, aren't you going to do your research? Spiritual firearms, biubiubiu~"

Kraft used his hands to simulate a gun firing imaginary bullets at Tang Zilong and laughed inadvertently.

"Tsk. As for me, if I want to do it, I can do it casually. It doesn't matter. I'm just afraid that Skarner will get into trouble and be unable to get away. Do you understand?" Tang Zilong patted his white coat, stretched, and turned his back to Kraft.

"Skarner doesn't need you to save him no matter what trouble he encounters." Kraft waved his hand, handed something to Pylos, and patted Tang Zilong on the back.

"That's not necessarily true." Tang Zilong was photographed, and he turned to Kraft: "It's not shameful to be saved by me, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's not shameful. But if you want to go, you'd better take this with you." Kraft put a curled wire ring in his hand: "Press it at the critical moment to save your life. Don't mess around."

"Hmph, don't worry, I'm an excellent escape artist." Tang Zilong quickly put the wire ring into his pocket.

Kraft also handed the III a wire ring.

"Third life, remember to always pay attention to the surrounding situation, understand? The damage caused by sneak attacks in the magic world is irreversible. It is very scary." Kraft seemed to have finished explaining and stood behind them: "Go, I think you can handle it."

"What do you do at home?"

"Teach Jack magic..." Kraft looked back at Chang Yufeng who was reading a book, and spread his hands helplessly: "I can't go anywhere, right? Elizabeth is here, I can't leave."

"Okay, let's go." Pylos sighed: "Young people still need a lot of guidance. Kraft, you'd better point him in a direction. No matter which path he takes, we should give Ralfa some advice."

"I will, Pylos. You are the best at philosophy of life. I can only help him understand the cruel reality that ideals are full of hope but reality is very skinny." Kraft nodded: "Well, he still needs to choose which path to take."

"Not good." Tang Zilong scratched his head: "Young people should be told to go their own way, as long as they don't be lazy. The bridge will naturally be straight when it reaches the bow."

"That's what I mean." Pylos glanced into the room. The magic idiot who was reading the magic book seriously was so "serious" that it made people feel unwilling: "You have to walk your own way. There is no need to show the way to young people. You should teach them how to keep motivated. For example, ideals, money, or love. For them, keep your spirit. Young people at this stage are easily confused. They haven't seen the ups and downs of the outside world, and haven't been strangled by others. You must be careful when dealing with them."

“I will.” Kraft blinked fiercely: “I have made Gong Xinlin’s mistake once. I don’t want history to repeat itself.”

"Gong Xinlin... He is the left protector now, right? Isn't that pretty good?" Tang Zilong stood up straight and turned back to look at Chang Yufeng: "Shadow Hunter is pretty good. At least it can contain the Principality and the Empire and focus their attention on them to prevent conflicts from breaking out. Forget about the cannon fodder."

"You think too highly of the Shadow Hunters, Tang Zilong." Kraft pushed them out: "Go quickly. Don't let Skarner wait anxiously."

"Then let's go." Pylos put his cowboy hat back on and lowered the brim.

"Go ahead." Kraft closed the door and turned to walk into the house.

He smiled: "Well, I almost couldn't send these three funny guys away. The more I talk, the more I say. Haha."

"It's okay, Uncle Kraft. It's me who asked you for a favor, so I should be the one apologizing to you for disturbing you." Chang Yufeng put down the magic book, crossed his fingers, and watched Kraft sit down.

"Then let's get right back to yesterday's topic." Kraft raised his teacup and took a sip of water.

Erica also used a magic wand to simulate the water magic action. The water was like a blue ribbon floating in the air, allowing Erica to play with it. "We know that there is a problem with your magic bloodline, so the countermeasure should be drug stimulation or some secret method to stimulate the potential of the body. At present, I don't know many secret methods." Kraft was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the sofa. He was also serious and did not neglect it at all.

"Most of those secret methods have great side effects. Young people should not try them, so I won't tell you. Food stimulation is a great torture. Many drugs are prohibited. I also don't recommend that you be controlled by drugs at such a young age. It's not worth it." Kraft looked at the magic book, then looked at Chang Yufeng, and said to him calmly: "Jack, there are many people in this world who complain about why they are not magicians and can't cast magic. They are born to be able to use only melee weapons or cold weapons. For these people, no one is more eager to be favored by magic and be called a great magician than them."

Chang Yufeng looked at Kraft, not understanding why he suddenly said this.

Kraft's eyes were bright and full of energy, and his potential as a soldier made him look energetic and elegant. "Magic is inherently unfair. You know my profession, right? I have captured too many children who went astray because of their thirst for magic. I have also captured many geniuses who possessed powerful magic but went astray."

Chang Yufeng listened carefully and nodded.

"I want to tell you that if you want to seek magic, you must understand one thing, that is, you are the master of magic, not its slave. Magic can do many things, but there are still many things it cannot do. You must think clearly about this."

"I understand." Chang Yufeng looked at Kraft and said very seriously: "I understand this truth. I am not a magic genius. I will not be arrogant or self-destructive. I deeply understand this truth. Magic should not change a person's character. I have always believed that one's moral cultivation should not be controlled by the level of magic."

"More than that," Kraft looked at Chang Yufeng seriously. Although he was a little surprised at Chang Yufeng's maturity, he quickly changed his mind and said, "Noble character can become inferior due to a change in position. This kind of thinking is one-sided. What I want to teach you is not those pure nobility and pure evil. What I want to tell you is that no matter how high your attainments in magic level, moral sentiment, and literary cultivation are, you must clearly know that you are living in a secular world."

Chang Yufeng looked at Kraft blankly.

And Kraft didn’t stop.

"The secular world. It can be simply called the world where a bunch of people live. In this world, everyone has their own thoughts. As long as you are born, you cannot be separated from the secular world. This is something you must keep in mind. It will help you think clearly about many things that you don't understand. For example, why do some people have certain behaviors that are completely opposite to your world view, outlook on life, and values?"

Chang Yufeng had never heard such remarks before. For him, his way of thinking was just to analyze from the perspective of Old Tom's benefits.

Take the recent Shikash incident for example. Shikash was pursuing Erica, but because Erica didn't agree, he made things difficult for Erica.

This kind of "emotional benefit" was the motivation of Shikash, and also the basis for Chang Yufeng to deal with this matter. Therefore, he wanted to be there to rescue her, or let Shikash get the signal of Erica's silence and verbally refuse the three rules.

secular.

"You and I were both born in the secular world. None of us are saints, but no matter what, we should all abide by the rules of the secular world." Kraft put his hands on the table, was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and then crossed his hands, like a serious old man: "For example, law, legal punishment, positive morality, moral punishment, order, and order punishment. This is what you must understand. The most important thing in the secular world is to understand that you must have the concepts of these three. Then think about other things."

"Uncle Kraft, please explain in detail." Chang Yufeng frowned in confusion and took a sip of water. Erica also stopped and sat on the sofa.

"Power, money, and connections are still, and will always be, the most powerful things in the world. Magic is sometimes the weakest force. This is what the world wants to tell you." Kraft looked at the brother and sister, causing the brothers to look at each other in bewilderment.

"I told you that I have arrested many people, most of them are extremely vicious, but I have never told anyone else. I was also forced to let many people go, most of them are also extremely vicious. Because of the secular power, their evil deeds did not receive the punishment they deserved. I am no longer a member of the Eagle Team, and you are also adults, so it doesn't matter what I say. I was forced to let go of the villains who killed and set fires, and I was also forced to let go of the villains who bullied decent women. I was even forced to let go of the little bully who did all kinds of evil. This made me feel heartbroken and unable to sleep at night. At that time, I thought about the pressure of the secular world. It was so great, and I was too small and powerless."

Kraft's words seemed to be followed by a sigh, but he didn't. He said coldly to Chang Yufeng and Erica: "This does not prevent me from catching them again if they commit the same offense again. To put it bluntly, a dog will never stop eating shit. Without severe and long-term punishment, they will definitely commit the same offense again. Therefore, I will arrest them again without hesitation. As long as I can."

Kraft's eyes were shining. His hedgehog-like buzz cut was so eye-catching at this moment, but it seemed to be emitting light. He said in a cold voice: "Magic is the most powerless. You must know this and find your own way of dealing with the world. I believe you will not become a villain, but I am also sure that you must not understand the pressure of secular power on insignificant people. I am also sure that you have not figured out how to deal with your powerless situation, or how to deal with your emotions."

"My parents talked to us when we were young and told us to learn to deal with our emotions. Whether we are facing difficulties or happy things, we must be cautious and make long-term plans." Erica looked at Chang Yufeng for affirmation, and Chang Yufeng nodded in response.

"Did they tell you about worldly power?" Kraft asked.

Chang Yufeng and Erica shook their heads repeatedly.

"It is necessary to deal with such emotions, especially not to think about fighting against secular forces all at once. Power can control others to a considerable extent, achieve a great psychological satisfaction, and produce endless greed, but power itself is indispensable, because the operation of an organization requires power, and managing an organization well requires checks and balances of power. Money can create huge material differences among people, and produce the most basic contempt chain between people, but money is indispensable. Food, clothing, and daily necessities all require money to operate, and money is an indispensable tool. Connections, the relationship between us is the connection of your father. It is no exaggeration to say that if your father is not Ralfa, I guess I would not care about you at all, but you must understand that human interactions and relationships are formed actively and will not come out of thin air. Your kindness to others is the premise, and your emotional and material supply to others is the basic need for connections. The things mentioned above are the most secular and basic things. The second is the special talents that belong to the person himself, or the irreplaceable qualifications. Magic bloodline is just one of the special qualifications of a person. There are thousands of other qualifications. None of them can be ignored."

Kraft was silent for a moment.

Chang Yufeng and Erica listened carefully and kept it in mind.

"The power of the secular world is extremely strong. As the old saying goes, 'You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in it.' If you have not thought about the secular world, it means that the environment you live in and the knowledge you have learned do not allow you to think about this level." Kraft continued seriously. He took a sip of water and closed his eyes silently: "I am telling you that before you know yourself, you must have the courage to be crushed by the secular power, to be shattered to pieces or changed beyond recognition. Most of the setbacks of mankind come from the secular world, not from themselves."

"I hope you understand this and think carefully about what magic means to you. Magic is your tool, but most importantly, it is you. The world will respond to you in different ways based on your attitude toward the world."

Kraft nodded silently.

"This is fate."
