GOR Chapter 37: Legend
Servant of the Demon?
If someone were to suddenly come up to you and tell you that he is the servant of the Demon …
Then, you would most likely think that this person is a lunatic.
But if this person had just used an amazing magic to go through walls, and was able to pull out a gorgeous chandelier, delicate candlesticks, and a large amount of furniture from an empty cave with his bare hands … and was able to turn a cold cave into a warm reception room in an instant … such a magic.
If so, would you still think that the words' servant of the Demon 'were a joke?
Du Wei wanted to laugh, but he was unable to do so. The faces of the two women beside him were clearly not looking too good.
Anyone could see that this fellow who possessed a high level of magic power was not joking!
"Ha … ha ha …" Du Wei felt his laughter becoming dry. "You, servant of the Demon … … may I ask, servant of the Demon, what is your purpose in summoning us here?"
"You may call me Chris." The servant of the Demon gave Du Wei a cold glance. It was only then that Du Wei realized that this fellow's two eyes were of different colours! One of them was green in colour while the other was black in colour!
"… all right, Mr Chris." Du Wei took a deep breath. "You, who claim to be the servant of the Demon, summoned the three of us here. What is your purpose in summoning us here?"
Chris did not answer. His body gently floated to the other end of the rectangular stone table. "Young Mr Aristocrat, may I ask … … what do you think of history?"
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat and he casually replied. "History … … is nothing but a lie written by the victors."
"Oh … … interesting idea." This Chris smiled and said. "Dear little Mr Aristocrat, truth be told, I have been observing you for the past few days … … I am particularly interested in you. You have expressed some interesting views … … for example, you had a dispute with that female magician on the island. At that time, you declared … … err, let me think, how did you say it … … oh, right, you said 'There is no such thing as justice or evil. Those with hard fists are always right. Those with hard fists are always right. Is that what you said? "
Du Wei nodded. "Although the words are a little different, the meaning is about the same."
"Then, I have a request. Can you relate this point of view of yours to your understanding of the issue of history?"
Du Wei thought for a moment … What was there to say? However, he still said it very casually.
"Alright! In my opinion, the so-called righteous and evil are only differentiated based on different standpoints … The victor is righteous! Losers are evil! History was always written by the victors, and the losers had no right to speak, so they could only accept the evil conclusion. This is a very simple principle. "
"Very good!" Chris was clearly very satisfied. He suddenly crossed his arms and raised his head, closed his eyes, and deeply sighed. "Great Master, I've finally found another believer of yours."
"Wait! Did you say … believers? No, no, I'm not a demon believer. "Du Wei immediately retorted," I'm not anyone's believer! I don't believe in gods or demons. "
"Then what do you believe in?" Chris smiled evilly.
"I believe in myself … I only believe in myself!" Du Wei replied loudly.
Behind him, Joanna and Vivian's faces changed at the same time and they covered their mouths. Joanna even whispered, "Heavens!"
Chris smiled even more happily. "You see, you said … you don't believe in anyone but yourself … This is the typical creed of a demon's faith!"
Du Wei was somewhat confused.
"All right, let's not talk about this anymore." Chris said indifferently. "Connecting it to your interesting point of view about history and the victors and losers, you might as well think about it. The so-called gods and demons … what does it mean?"
"Is there even a need to say it?" Du Wei smiled. "In a battle between two powerhouses, the winner is a god and the loser is a demon! The winner wins everything and has the right to speak. History is also written by him and the loser can only be consigned to eternal damnation … am I right? In fact, there is no such thing as good or evil between gods and demons. There is only the difference between winning and losing. "
Joanna and Vivian were somewhat uneasy. In the eyes of the two magicians, Du Wei's point of view was too audacious! Even heretical and rebellious thoughts!
If such thoughts were to occur outside … he would definitely be judged by the Shrines and might even be burned at the stake!
Du Wei did not care so much at this moment. He pondered for a moment and said, "Winning or losing … Oh, speaking of winning or losing … Then, Mr. Chris, you …"
"I'm on the losing side." Chris tilted his head and said, "Unfortunately, in the last war, my master lost and I was also on the losing side … … so, this place is actually a cage. And I'm the prisoner here. "
Chris slowly continued, "I have been locked up on this island for a long time … so long that I have begun to forget some of my memories …"
"You said … island?" Du Wei quickly asked. "You said you were locked up on this island … so, we are also on this island now? You brought us back to this island? "
"To be precise, we are 'on the island'," Chris said with a smile. "Or rather, we are inside its body."
Du Wei's face sank.
"You still don't understand …" Chris sighed. "The monster you are talking about … is actually this island! This is not an island, but a monster. For the past few days, you have been living on the back of this monster! As for me … I am locked up inside this monster's body … it is responsible for guarding me! "
After saying that, Chris waved his sleeve and stopped Joanna who was about to speak. "No, no, don't say anything. Let me finish first!"
"It has been too long. It has been so long that I have forgotten how long I have been here … after so long, you are not the first batch of guests to come here. There were also some other humans who accidentally came to this island. I saved them and brought them here. Some of them are smart, some are idiots … and you, cute little nobles, the two female magi beside you are the latter. As for you, you are the smart one! "
"Who are you calling an idiot?" Joanna could not stop herself from becoming angry. "For you, a servant of a demon …"
"Oh, the magi are angry." Chris did not get angry. He quietly looked at Joanna, his pair of black and green eyes seemingly radiating a demonic light. He softly asked Joanna, "That God … he claims that all the power comes from him! All of it! The power of nature, the power of magic. Thus, you magi are all believers of God. Am I right? But … I, as a servant of a demon, am not a believer of God! May I ask, where does my power of magic come from? Cute little magi, can you answer this question? "
The angry Joanna was suddenly speechless.
Chris sighed and looked at the sorceress with pity in his eyes. "You can't answer me? Then I will tell you the answer … because the God you believe in, he … is lying! The power of nature comes from him? This is simply a big lie! "
Joanna's face became very embarrassed. She felt that her belief had been overturned! But she could not say a word to refute!
Yes, from the beginning of her magic education, she had been taught the most basic creed!
This world was created by God, and all the power of nature came from God! Magi's devout belief in God allowed them to borrow a part of the power of nature from God when they used magic!
This was magic!
But now … a servant of a demon who did not believe in God … had such powerful magic power … how could this be explained? Could it be that when he used magic, it was also God who lent him power?!
Otherwise … how could this be explained?!
"See, I am right. Some of them are smart … and some of them are idiots. " Although Chris's voice sounded old and weak, the mockery in his tone was like a needle that pricked Joanna's heart. "You're not the first mage to come here, so it's not the first time I've seen such an expression on your face when you're faced with this question."
Chris glanced at Du Wei. When he looked at Du Wei, his tone and eyes were a little calmer. "Cute little noble, you are a smart person. So I can use a smart way to talk to you. I have waited here for too long, and I am always happy to make a deal with smart people who come here. "
"… A deal?"
"Yes, a deal." Chris smiled, and then the old man knocked on his forehead. "Let me think, who was the last person who made a deal with me here … Oh, right, it was a guy called Aragon # 8226 Roland!"
"Aragon # 8226 Roland?!"
This time, it was Du Wei and the two female magi who exclaimed at the same time!!!
Not because of anything else, but because this name was too famous!!
Publicly recognized as one of the few Paladin in the continent for hundreds of years! Publicly recognized as one of the few super magi in the continent for hundreds of years!
The name Aragon # 8226 Roland meant a legend! He was the only person in history who was able to cultivate both magic and martial arts, and was able to cultivate both martial arts and magic to the pinnacle of the Legendary rank!!
Even Joanna … she was one of Aragon's admirers … So this female magi chose to cultivate both magic and martial arts!
More importantly, the reason why the three of them were surprised was not only because Aragon # 8226 Roland was such a legendary figure …
More importantly …
Aragon # 8226 Roland!
He was the founding emperor of the Roland Empire!
The great emperor of the Roland Empire!! He was the one who led the army to conquer the continent. After decades of war, he united countless small countries, cities, alliances, kingdoms, principalities … Finally, he established the Roland Empire that covered the entire continent!!
"Don't be so nervous, Aragon # 8226 Roland was the last human who came here and made a deal with me."
