Guild Boss's Ambition

After the appraisal, Ms. Farmer returned to her original lazy attitude.

She said in a soft tone: "However, just in case, we will still accept your escort commission. However, since it is a time of war, the combat power that our Tree of Life can give you will not be much. At most, it will be one or two legendary adventurers. If it is not enough, you will have to find another way on your own──"

Meng'er looked up helplessly at the little guy above his head and asked, "Then which legendary adventurer will you assign to us? Bai Ye's half body has many means of attack, and it is possible that he secretly breeds a large number of undead. Therefore, I hope that you can send some adventurers who are good at fighting the undead to us."

"An adventurer who is good at fighting the undead?"

Ms. Fama rolled over on Meng'er's head several times, and replied listlessly: "No, we don't have this kind of strong people in the Tree of Life. Most of those who specialize in catching ghosts have not grown up. Let's put it this way, let's hand over Druid Jacob and his two disciples to you. That should be enough to deal with half of your body, Miss Bai Ye, right?"

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then replied conservatively: "With the help of Druid Jacob, the situation should be under control to a large extent. However, Miss Fama, you just said that you are willing to accept our commission, right? Then may I ask how much reward you would like to offer for this commission?"

"As for the reward, let's set it at 20,000 gold coins, is that ok?"

The petite Ms. Farmer opened her mouth with a huge price tag.

However, Bai Ye didn't even frown, and agreed as quickly as possible: "Okay, after you successfully defeat my half body, I will immediately give you these 20,000 gold coins to the Tree of Life."

Even the stingy Meng'er took out a large bag of gold coins without blinking an eye: "According to past practice, here is 40% of the deposit for the commission, a total of 8,000 gold coins, please count and confirm Ms. Fama."

Even though she saw the heavy gold coins, Ms. Fama remained calm and didn't even look at the bag of gold coins: "You are such a serious and boring group of people. Since you came here, you have been trembling with fear and wariness of me. I look so super cute, but you treat me as a cold-blooded monster. It's really sad──"

In order to get the chance to touch the clay figure, I immediately raised my hand to clarify the misunderstanding.

"No! Ms. Farmer, I have always just regarded you as a very cute toy!"

Once again, because of my extraordinary remarks, Miss Wild Cuteness hid in Meng'er's place.

Ever since!

The Miss President used the trick of patting the head on another Miss President.

Outstanding effect.

The Miss President of the Tree of Life fell into a state of intoxication.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Miss Fama. I was careless this time..."

"No...it's okay, please continue! Woo woof..."

……

……

54. Do you like this world? (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

It's so enviable that that bastard Meng'er actually monopolized Miss Clayman's time for three whole minutes!

Even a six-year-old child should know how to share his toys with his friends, right? !

"Uh, wait?"

"Isn't it true that Ms. Farmer is not a toy?"

"Damn mysterious fairy bloodline!"

While I was secretly reflecting on my own wild and indecent thoughts, Miss Fama on the other side also crawled out from Meng'er's Five Finger Mountain with a blushing face. The president of the Tree of Life, who was treated as a cute creature, was obviously quite aware. She didn't take the shameful scene just now seriously at all. She immediately cheered up and flew high!

She said in a cheerful tone: "Everyone in the Stone House, it's a rare opportunity to meet you today. Before we say goodbye, can we chat for a while? Although I don't care much about things other than candy and cakes, I am still very interested in the thoughts of you young people of the new generation. Can you share your thoughts with me?"

"Experience?" I asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Ms. Farmer flapped her wings and went to the pergola. This time she sat down quietly. "What we want to know is not the so-called truth, but your personal opinions. And what we want to ask is not complicated questions, but just to understand your feelings. Let me ask everyone here, do you like this world?"

At the end of her words, Ms. Fama turned her gaze to Bai Ye.

"Dear Miss Bai Ye, as a necromancer, what do you think?"

Miss Bai Ye smiled slightly when she was asked. After staying with her for a long time, I gradually learned to read her smile. Her smile is full of different meanings, and now her smile is a smile that shows that she doesn't want others to see through her thoughts.

With a faint smile, Bai Ye replied elegantly: "Dear President of the Tree of Life, I'm sorry that I can't answer your question right away. As a researcher, I know that I know very little. Since I haven't even discovered part of the world, how can I judge whether I like this world? I think it's still too early to talk about these things now."

Ms. Farmer swung on the swing and asked again: "Well, let me ask it another way. Miss Bai Ye, do you like yourself?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."

After hearing the hesitant answer in Bai Ye, Ms. Fama turned her attention to other places like an innocent child who had lost her curiosity. This time, she stared at Heloise who was silent beside her: "So, this elegant lady, do you like this world? What are your expectations for this world?"

Heloise replied expressionlessly, "I like this world, but I hate fighting. I don't understand why there is such a huge gap between races. After so many years, why can't people find a way for all intelligent races to live in peace and equality? It seems that we goblins often suffer from people's oppression and strange looks."

After getting the definite answer, Ms. Fama still did not comment and just moved her attention to the next respondent.

"What about you? President Ehard, as an adventurer, what do you think? Are you satisfied with the world designed by the Creator God for you? Or do you secretly hate this world that has brought tragic fates to many people? Do you even want to try to improve this unchanging world through adventure?"

"hatred?"

Meng Er was stunned at first, then frowned and asked, "Ms. Fama, why do you think I hate this world?"

“Isn’t this world hateful?”

Ms. Fama asked like a child: "It took away your parents, and also took away your dream of becoming a knight ranger. In fact, you don't want to be the head of the Stone House, right? If you can choose, wouldn't you prefer the romantic and passionate knight stories? However, no matter how hard you try, you can only be tied to death in this city of Mopolis."

Meng'er's brows could not help but frown deeper: "Ms. Fama, how do you know these things?"

The little human lady pointed to her own eyes: "That's what the Eye of Truth let me see."

Listening to Ms. Farmer's explanation, I couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. This behavior of attributing all unreasonable information to the Eye of Truth is exactly what I do every day. However, as an imposter who uses identification skills to disguise the Eye of Truth, I really don't understand how the Eye of Truth actually works...

However, my instinct is that Ms. Farmer is quite suspicious.

However, judging from Ms. Efama's words and actions from the beginning to now, she is still inclined to be friendly towards us.

At least, she has promised to send someone to protect me.

Meng Er was also slightly surprised, and she did not dwell on the things that the other party knew in the past. She touched her chin and thought about the little one's question for a few seconds, and then replied: "No, even if so many misfortunes have happened to me, I still love this world, because if there is no misfortune, there will be no relative happiness."

At this time, Heloise interrupted: "Excuse me, Lord Ehad, let me interrupt for a moment. I agree that misfortune and happiness are relative, but why do some people always have to bear misfortune for a lifetime, while others can enjoy happiness for a lifetime? Using the misfortune of others to set off your own happiness, is that really a beautiful story?"

Faced with Heloise's questioning, Meng'er fell silent at first, but soon responded.

The knight girl said in a positive tone: "That is why we should share our happiness with others who are less fortunate."

Heloise's questioning remained unyielding: "But not everyone can be so generous."

This time, the Knight Girl did not hesitate for even a moment. She responded immediately: "If there were no selfishness of a small number of people, how could generosity be so valuable? This is also a relative concept."

This time it was Heloise's turn to fall silent, but anyone could tell that she had not given up the discussion. She was just thinking with her mouth closed, and her thinking soon yielded results. She then opened her mouth to ask again, "Good is the relative of evil, but why can't the world be completely good? Why must evil be used to set off good, rather than letting absolute good exist alone?"

Suddenly, Bai Ye raised a doubtful voice: "The question is, can good really be free from evil and exist alone?"

Heloise looked at Bai Ye, frowned and said, "God is omniscient and omnipotent."

Bai Ye will forever doubt: "Can God create a stone that He cannot lift?"

Heloise replied affirmatively, "Yes."

Bai Ye further asked: "Does God exist?"

Heloise was silent.

As a high elf, did Heloise question her own gods?

Or, has she simply forgotten the gods as a goblin?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense in silence, the kind of atmosphere that is created when a group of serious people are discussing a serious topic. However, as the host of the room, Ms. Farmer obviously did not want to pursue a serious atmosphere. She yawned, ignored their discussion, and turned her attention to me.

"What about you, Miss Lannon? Do you like this world?"

The answer to the question is yes.

"Although there are many unpleasant things, I think I should like this world. There are all kinds of people and things here, rich and almost endless history. Everyone has their own story, some humble, some great and magnificent. This world is full of vigorous vitality!"

I was sincerely amazed by the beauty of this other world, but Ms. Fama suddenly pushed the problem to another level.

"So, do you think this world is perfect?"

Ms. Farmer conjured up a pudding in her left hand and a red bean bun in her right hand, and said, "To give an analogy, pudding is delicious, but everyone has their own preferences. If you have the opportunity to choose any dessert you like in a dessert shop, will you still choose this world?"

Earth and the Otherworld...

Pudding and red bean buns...

I thought about it for a while, then smiled and replied, "If the choice is between pudding and red envelopes, then the answer is naturally Miss Korolo's red bean buns from our Stone House. However, when it comes to the good and bad of the world, that is not my expertise. Even if I were to choose for myself, I might not necessarily choose the world that suits me best."

Ms. Farmer blinked, smiled knowingly, and agreed, "Indeed, just like a while ago in the summer, I also thought I wanted to eat grass jelly, but when Luo Juner bought it, I realized that what I actually wanted to eat was chocolate popsicles. Even a pastry chef who makes desserts may not be able to make the taste you want right away."

There is no doubt that Ms. Fama is giving us a metaphor.

Her metaphor immediately draws criticism from Heloise: “God is omniscient and omnipotent.”

Bai Ye had a different opinion. At this moment, her eyes were rarely filled with excitement. "However, the God of Creation may not be omniscient and omnipotent. Above the God of Creation, there may be some greater will, just like the author character in a novel was created by the author character in another dimension. Am I right, dear Ms. Fama?"

Finally, the moment Bai Ye raised this question, Ms. Fama finally revealed an expression befitting of the president of the Tree of Life.

It was not an evil face, nor was it a holy expression.

It is like a piece of white and transparent drawing paper, pure and without any emotion.

The voice seemed so familiar, yet I couldn't associate it with the exact person.

She used Bai Ye's sentence structure and asked calmly, "So, does the Great Will exist?"

……

……

55. The God Who Created God (Xiao Lan)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"So, does the Great Will exist?"

"Unknowable," I thought to myself.

The relationship between man and God always exists in this state.

Under the bright banner of atheism, there is always a group of agnostics who are classified as atheists.

In my understanding of myself, my thinking tends to be agnostic spiritualism.

It means believing that it is possible whether God exists or not, not believing in any particular religion, but acting in an unknowable world in a ridiculous way that is both self-abased and arrogant, following a certain set of moral values.

Similarly, Meng'er and Bai Ye present here are also members of the Agnosticism.

However, the great will that Ms. Farmer speaks of is different from the omniscient and omnipotent God.

Our Bai Ye is the kind of researcher who always maintains a positive attitude towards the unknown. Although she speaks very scary words all day long, and her words are either about dissection or resurrection of the dead, when it comes to exploring the unknown, she faithfully holds high the torch of hope and does not compromise because of the unknown current situation. Instead, she actively seeks a knowable future in the unknown.

Just as Ebi described, Bai Ye was undoubtedly an abnormal monster.

Few people would walk this path as mechanically as she does.

Therefore, even in the face of the unknown, she did not remain silent.

She asked Miss Fama: "Why are you asking us this? Miss Fama, aren't your dwarfs a group that is commanded by the Great Will? In other words, in your minds, the Great Will does exist, and one possible proof of this is that your civilization has never been destroyed by the wrath of nature."

Hearing this, Miss Fama regained her normal expression and smiled sweetly: "That being said, the inheritance of our ancestors is not necessarily the whole truth. Perhaps the so-called great will is just a mysticism used by our little human race to explain the unlimited development of civilization, just like the Church of Light regards the fear of light of the dead as the merciful protection of the sun god for the living."

Unlike his previous modesty, Bai Ye is now completely unpretentious.

“Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully.”

Bai Ye analyzed as if possessed, "Although induction cannot guarantee that the conclusion must be true, it is a constructive method to observe the unknown. And judging from Miss Fama's expression, you little humans should have more clues about the existence of the Great Will. Only with enough clues can the Great Will establish faith among you."

"Belief?"

Miss Fama made a bored gesture and said negatively, "Miss Bai Ye's imagination is really richer than that of ordinary people. She can even seriously discuss some fictitious things with an idle person like me. But, to me, the great will is as troublesome as an ant carrying candy. It's not interesting to discuss them at all."

As she spoke, Miss Farmer leaped from the swing into the air.

Her wings caught the air and she climbed to a higher cabinet.

From the cupboard, she took out an old candy jar, the kind of transparent jar that old ladies use to store things.

Holding the old jar, she flapped her wings and flew to us, placing the jar on the table.

"It's getting late. It's time for our nap."

She yawned from time to time and said with tears in her eyes: "Yawn - but you are guests, and I like you very much, so before you leave, please be sure to take a candy from me. Don't worry, these are not some strange prank candies, but just a small gift from an old man like me. I hope you will accept them with joy, and you don't need to say thank you."
