Guild Boss's Ambition

“I firmly believe that God is watching us.”

"God...?"

Miss Bai Ye smiled meaningfully, then reached out and touched my cheek, freeing me from the negative state that bound my body. But even if I was freed, the Saint who was abducted by the military was already beyond redemption. All I could do next was to report everything that happened here to the Pope and see if the Church had any way to snatch the Saint back from the military.

At this time, Miss Bai Ye had already begun to dynamically draw a teleportation array for the return trip, as if the entire turmoil had been settled, with no room for maneuver and no room for us to continue interfering.

I find it hard to accept this result.

But in reality, this is not something that I can improve by working hard.

Or maybe it would be easier to just give up like Miss Bai Ye did...

In addition to the Saint, Fiso and my hometown also need my strength...

But I just don’t want to make excuses, and I just can’t ignore the injustice that is right in front of me.

"It's time to go back. Come closer." After carving the formation diagram, Miss Bai Ye called me.

"Specifically, how will Her Majesty be treated?" I asked hesitantly.

"What? Are you still thinking about this?"

Miss Bai Ye sighed as if she had heard some boring question: "According to your values, there are countless injustices in this world. If you are so easily upset by the dark side of the world, will your heart ever be truly peaceful? No, unless you know how to let go, you will never be at peace."

“Even if there are mountains of injustice and unfairness, as long as each of us contributes a little and accumulates the power of goodness bit by bit, I firmly believe that the darkness will eventually turn into light!”

Miss Bai Ye showed a sullen look like a big sister next door, and said with a refreshing tone: "Raftan, you are such a dazzling and good child! But, don't you understand? Fundamentally, the goodness of this world and the goodness in your mind are originally contradictory. Do you still remember the problem we discussed just now?"

problem?

I guessed, "You mean, do you like this world-this question?"

"That's right, that's right."

Miss Bai Ye nodded with a smile on her face, and as if to encourage me, she tapped my shoulder armor with her staff, and said loudly: "If this world itself is unjust, then no matter how hard we try, won't the result be in vain? So, dear Miss Paladin, before we act with all our strength, let us think carefully about each other! Think about whether we really love this world, and think about what kind of world we really need..."

I always feel...

At this moment, Miss Bai Ye, who is standing in front of me with a bright smile, is quite dazzling.

It is like the Milky Way at the edge of the night sky, sparkling with mystery and infinite possibilities.

"Miss Bai Ye, what exactly are you looking for?"

"The first step is probably to meet that person again, right? It's not a complicated thing, actually."

"that person?"

"A relative."

“Is that so…”

"Yes, that's it. Shall we go back to the stone house?"

"No, I need to go back to the Temple of Life and Death first."

"That's right, we should go different ways..."

"Yeah, different way. See you later, then."

"goodbye."

With a flash of brilliant light, Miss Bai Ye's mysterious figure completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.

49. Kabbalah (White Nights)

(white night)

How foolish it is to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others.

The former saint named Agatha became the vessel to seal the devil without regrets. Even though the devil named Leia kept tempting her and those who benefited from her were not grateful at all, she still walked steadfastly on the path of faith and virtue. But in the end, God and fate entrusted her life to those cold-blooded politicians and soldiers.

but……

No matter what happens to Agatha, the only thing I care about is her holy demon body and the demon lord Leia inside her.

If Corvina had hired me to study her body, I would have said yes without hesitation if the price was right.

Although it happened suddenly and was unexpected, the biggest gain of this trip was still Raftan himself.

Even though they only met for a few minutes, Miss Agatha, who was dedicated to the righteous path, still had a huge impact on Raftan's heart. Saint Agatha was a pious person who took the path of virtue to the end. Her lifelong dedication and self-discipline only brought disaster to herself, and she was just one step away from being the disaster itself.

Perhaps, in Saint Agatha, Raftan found some of his own shadow.

It can even be said that as long as Raftan's ideas do not change, there is a nine-tenths chance that Saint Agatha will be waiting for her in the future.

Sacrificing everything for others...

After returning to the stone house, I quietly and carefully organized Raftan's personal information again. She was the material I carefully selected. As the leader of the entire plan, I must always grasp the psychological changes of each material. Their quality will directly affect the final result. If the quality is not up to standard, I must cut off the branches and leaves in time.

Kabbalah Tree of Life

This is a new target I found from ancient documents after I re-investigated the dwarf race after returning from the Tree of Life last time.

Generally speaking, the Kabbalah Tree of Life is a myth that we have heard since childhood. It tells the story of the creation of the world by the Creator God. Based on the different customs and cultures of different places, there are many versions of the story of the Kabbalah Tree of Life. What really interests me about the Kabbalah Tree of Life is Ms. Farmer's identity as a dwarf.

The dwarfs are an extremely mysterious race, and there are almost no written records about them.

There is only one fairy tale that records information about the suspected dwarf people.

That fairy tale is exactly one version of the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

In that fairy tale, the dwarfs are not called dwarfs, they are called tree fairies.

The article describes that the tree fairies are the darlings of the gods, with small bodies, immortality, and the ability to perform all kinds of magical spells. They usually make their bodies transparent and play around. Each tree fairy has its own temperament, but will never expose their existence to others.

What is criticized is that Ms. Farma, who calls herself a dwarf, stands openly before the world.

That is a doubtful point, but it does not affect the reference value of this fairy tale.

Although the tree fairies live a free and easy life, each of them actually shoulders a very important responsibility. The theme of that responsibility is called the Kabbalah Tree of Life. In this fairy tale, the sixteen tree fairies must take turns to take care of the Tree of Life that God left in the world until the Tree of Life blossoms and bears fruit.

The main storyline is about the sixteen tree fairies trying every possible means to escape from this responsibility, which leads to a series of interesting gambles and competitions. In a certain story unit, I found a familiar sentence in the dialogue of a dessert-loving tree fairy: "Do you like this world? Or this tree of life?"

That might be a coincidence, but I believe that this fairy tale was created deliberately by someone.

The author of this fairy tale is most likely someone related to the tree fairies.

I believe that this fairy tale is alluding to some aspect of reality, especially the descriptions of the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The description therein is subtly different from the popular version. In the traditional Kabbalah Tree of Life, there are always ten sephirot and twenty-two routes. However, in the Tree Fairy fairy tale version, the sephirot and routes have obvious changes.

In the fairy tale, the tree fairies once had such a conversation.

……

The unconfident tree fairy: "The responsibility of watering the tree of life is too heavy for me. If it was just the nine flowers from the bottom up, I might be able to take care of them, but the unknown flower at the end only blooms once every ten million years. I have poor eyesight and a stupid brain, so I will definitely miss it by accident!"

The lying tree fairy: "No, no, no, you have to be more confident. A weakling like me can't even pick the rarest unknown, let alone the lower level wisdom and compassion. Oh my! No matter how I think about it, you are the only one among us who is most suitable to take care of the Tree of Life! No! This is the vocation assigned to you by God!"

The Tree Fairy who loves to complain: "Idiot! Don't listen to him! Finding them is the duty of all of us!"

……

According to popular belief, the ten sephirot of the Kabbalah Tree of Life should look like this:

Crown, wisdom, understanding, mercy, severity, beauty, victory, grandeur, foundation, kingdom.

Based on the content of the fairy tale, I guess the tree of life of the tree fairy looks like this:

The unknown, wisdom, understanding, mercy, severity, beauty, victory, grandeur, foundation, kingdom.

And according to the content of the fairy tale of the flower fairy, except for the rare unknown, the remaining particles are all existences that can be selected, and these existences are living creatures. Later, I conducted some research on this part, and the final result coincided with some alchemical theories in the academic community.

Furthermore, in addition to the fact that the ten particles look different from the others, the twenty-two routes of the tree fairy also have differences.

In short, in their fairy tale, Route 22 never existed.

As a substitute for Route 22, the Tree Fairy has her own theory of the four elements.

In the story, sixteen tree fairies are divided into four groups according to the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind. They compete in groups to decide the division of labor for taking care of the tree of life and playing and resting. They have great magical powers and can control and borrow the power of earth, water, fire and wind, but regarding the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, they have a strange conversation during the competition.

One of the tree fairies who loved to cheat said, "Hahaha, look at me, I'm running as fast as the wind, and I started earlier than all of you. Unless you gather the almighty kingdom powers of earth, water, fire and wind, you will never be able to catch up with me! Hahaha, I'm definitely going to win this marathon!"

The beginning and the end of this conversation are meaningless; the most important part is the middle part.

"The almighty kingdom power of earth, water, fire and wind..."

In the alchemical system, earth, water, fire and wind are the basic elements that constitute everything in the world, and the Kabbalah Tree of Life is the method of creation of the world by the Creator God that we have always known. Since ancient times, rebuilding the Kabbalah Tree of Life has always been the ultimate goal of alchemists. Although there are a large number of related theories and hypotheses in academia, the reality is that there are no results.

Today, most scholars almost agree that the Kabbalah Tree of Life is a miracle that cannot be reproduced.

Mortals cannot rebuild the world; that is the realm of the Supreme God.

But if the flower fairies in the fairy tale are Ms. Farmer and her fellow dwarfs, then recultivating the Kabbalah Tree of Life may not be a completely unrealistic goal. In fact, Ms. Farmer, who now lives in the Tree of Life next door to us, may very well be the little flower fairy in the story who is on duty according to the schedule - the little flower fairy who loves desserts.

According to the research of the old alchemy school, each sephira of the Tree of Life actually contains an intelligent creature with corresponding properties, and the remaining 22 lines are the 22 treasures left by the Creator God in the world. The academic community generally believes that as long as we gather ten sephira and 22 treasures and arrange them in a specific way, the Kabbalah Tree of Life will reappear.

After reading a lot of literature, I agree that the ten particles are intelligent life.

But as for the second twenty-two routes, I am more inclined to believe that they are just the result of rumors.

The real Route 22 should be the four elements in fairy tales. The so-called kingdom symbolizes everything in the material world and is the manifestation of God's will. Similarly, the four elements mentioned by the flower fairy are also equivalent to our entire material world. Furthermore, the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind together are the "Kingdom (Malkuth)" among the ten particles.

Of course, based on the information I have at hand at this stage, I cannot completely deny the necessity of Route 22 in the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and Route 22 does have a certain degree of effectiveness in the field of divination. It seems that Doris, the daughter of Snake House Covina, is an expert in divination and fortune-telling using Route 22.

"Ms. Fama must know something about the Tree of Life..."

"But I don't have enough leverage right now. I should collect more information before meeting her."

"However, in addition to the Tree of Life, exploring unknown civilizations is also a possible way to revive her."

"It's almost time to start looking for Wallace..."

I thought about my long-term plan, and wrote down the thoughts wandering in my mind one by one with paper and pen. Then I put this black-covered notebook into the space ring, replaced it with another brown-covered notebook used to record the adventurer's work, and then turned to the pages that described the Heart Hunting Murder Case, and quickly switched my thoughts to the adventurer's work mode.

"Garcia..."

Looking at the last name written in my notes last time, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up in a playful angle.

50. The Returning Father (Green Willow)

(Green Willow-Garcia)

As the plum rain stopped late at night, I carefully carried out a complicated plan, with the goal of lurking out the demon lurking near the Temple of Life and Death.

A total of three hundred priests and two hundred mid-level paladins were temporarily recruited by us to the church. They were blindfolded and then collectively transferred directly to the Temple of Life and Death using a space teleportation array. Unless the Demon King's spies have penetrated deep into the temple, even if he senses the magic fluctuations, he will never be able to clearly confirm our number.

After gathering all the people, I led 300 priests and randomly cast a large-scale magic without any real effect to pretend to lift the seal of the magic weapon. Then I organized a team of 500 new people and led this group of clergy whose average combat power was only silver level to disguise as a transport force for transporting the magic weapon.

In order to make them pretend more convincing, I lied to them and said that the magic weapon Crazy Love Ring was in my possession.

Although they were all a little too scared, it was forgivable if the target was the Demon King. Anyway, the ultimate goal of the whole plan was just to induce the whereabouts of the Demon King Leia. The more ideal situation was to make Leia doubt whether our team had transported magic weapons, and then go to investigate or attack the Temple of Life and Death that had become an "empty city".

Deep in the Temple of Life and Death, Bishop Barsalom has arranged a large number of combat forces.

Even though the outside world has spread the story that the Forty-Nine Demon Kings are extremely powerful, I don't believe that he can defeat such a tight net.

"How will the Demon King act?"

I walked along the streets of Qingyun Road with a heavy heart. The group of more than 500 people inevitably caused a little commotion in the middle of the night. People living nearby looked out of the windows one after another, but they were generally restrained by the solemn aura we exuded, as well as their pajamas and messy hair, so they just observed from the outside and did not bother to run over to inquire about the situation.

The team of 500 people moved meticulously along the planned route, and after a total of more than one hour and twenty minutes of journey, we arrived at the target Temple of Light as scheduled. During the journey, we did not suffer any attacks, nor did we find any enemies or related suspicious traces. As for the Temple of Life and Death, I did not see the agreed attack signal.

Our plan completely failed, and Demon Lord Leia did not take any action against our actions.

Even though I wasted only the magic crystals needed to teleport reinforcements, I still felt a little frustrated.

After arriving at the Temple of Light, I dismissed the 500 people I had temporarily recruited, and then used the teleportation array to return to the Temple of Life and Death.

As I made my way to the entrance of the Temple of Life and Death, I happened to run into another Paladin.

If I remember correctly, her name should be Raftan. We were in the same carriage when we were heading to the Temple of Life and Death. Later, because the Necromancer Bai Ye knew her, she was chosen to be Bai Ye's monitor. We did not expect her to report Bai Ye's every word and deed truthfully. Her existence was only to prevent those people from making a fuss about our appointment of the Necromancer.

But why did she appear alone in the Temple of Life and Death at this time?

Could it be that he lost Bai Ye?
