"My sins?"
Li Ke recalled. The faces of the people he had killed flashed before his eyes one by one, especially those who fought with their lives for their families in the arena. However, he didn't feel like there was anything wrong with killing them. After all, he didn't have a choice. Although it was a little hypocritical, he still avenged them in the end.
"Although I feel regretful that I had to end their lives, I don't think it's wrong. Besides, I also dealt with the mastermind behind the scenes."
He waited for Morgana to flick her sleeves and leave. But he didn't expect her to place her hand on his chest. Li Ke could also feel the warmth and softness of her palm, and he could also clearly feel the exquisiteness of her fingertips. After all, Morgana's hand touched the area where his clothes were torn.
"No, your heart tells me that you don't think so. You're still grieving for the innocent lives that were lost and feel that their deaths are a loss to this world. You also feel that you're guilty because you killed them with your own hands."
Morgana's voice carried a trace of excitement and heaviness. However, it was mostly gratification and sorrow. But Li Ke's words …
"Am I?"
He almost left a golden question mark on Morgana's chest.
Although he felt regretful and sad for the deaths of those people, he shouldn't be as' kind 'as Morgana described. After all, he didn't feel like he owed others anything after surviving a life and death battle. Was the person Morgana was talking about really him? He was extremely puzzled by this.
"You're shouldering a burden that you shouldn't be shouldering."
Morgana didn't continue. Although her face was flushed, she didn't use a method that Li Ke wasn't aware of to read Li Ke's heart. Instead, she looked at Li Ke and asked him another question.
"Have you ever thought of doing something for this world?"
She asked directly. Li Ke looked at her with a strange expression and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, farming."
Morgana was taken aback.
"Farming?"
Li Ke nodded.
"Yes, farming, including the use of technology, magic, and other methods to increase productivity. In other words, we use these advanced methods to replace the backward production methods and liberate the human labor force from repetitive production activities … At the very least, we can prevent the children in this world from falling sick due to lack of food and clothes, or dying in some unknown place. After all, they haven't personally experienced the happiness and pain of this world. It would be too sad if they died before they could make their own choices."
Li Ke sighed after speaking. After all, in Freldrod, it was too common for children to die at the age of five or six due to cold and hunger. When they built camps, they would occasionally dig out one or two well-preserved children's corpses from the ground. In Freljord's traditional ghost stories, there were stories where the ghosts of dead children tempted mothers who lost their children and made them freeze and starve to death in the snow. Then, they would be able to keep their children company.
Moreover, this story was true in this world because Li Ke heard from Aichy that mothers who lost their children had to accept the Shaman's blessings in order to continue living peacefully.
"What a grand wish."
This wish made Morgana even more excited because she could see the beauty of this scene. When that time came, the innate abilities of those who knew magic in Demacia would no longer be a sin that separated them from their families. Instead, it would be an ability. However, she also saw many worrisome things in this scene. However, she also knew that if Li Ke could really do it, then the amount of sin he eliminated would be many times less than the amount of sin he created.
There was one thing that made her worried, and that was if the method he found was very simple, then would humanity stagnate because of it? However, she didn't say it out loud because she believed in humans and was willing to believe in this man who crawled out of hell and retained a kind heart.
"If you can do it, I will help you. Although I want to know what you think of the country where you went through all this and how you want to treat the people there. "
Morgana circled around Li Ke. She hadn't been this happy in a long time. After all, even though the Order of Demacia reduced the growth of sins, it also made the people here not recognize the concept of repentance and their understanding of the word 'punishment' became more and more superficial. Li Ke was one of the few people that she had met recently who had a clear understanding of 'punishment' and 'sins' and wanted to change it.
After all, punishment wasn't only the price for one's mistakes. It should also be a form of repentance for one's actions. It should be a form of repentance for the person who made the mistake and understand what they should do in the future. It shouldn't be for the sake of venting anger or for other things.
Furthermore, it shouldn't be like Demacia, becoming a tool for their rule and the way they buried their fears.
Morgana also knew that Li Ke couldn't understand why she came to find him and why she said all this to him. However, she didn't mind because her intuition told her that Li Ke would live for a long time like her and the threat behind him would be resolved. Moreover, even if she told him everything that she saw from Li Ke's heart, Li Ke wouldn't immediately stay to help her because he still needed to use his own eyes to see the world and understand what he wanted.
But now, the time wasn't right.
He was still a child and needed a little guidance.
As for what benefits there would be?
There weren't any benefits, but she was willing to do it and was willing to give up most of her things to guide humans. Just like how her elder sister was willing to fight for the sake of human order and she was willing to fight for the sake of human salvation. Compared to their infatuated human emotions, their emotions as' Gods' were much stronger. To be precise, it was because of their emotions that surpassed mortals that they were called 'Gods' by mortals.
"But you don't need to answer me now. Come, follow me. I will help you do everything you want to do."
Morgana smiled and held Li Ke's hand. Then, she placed a white finger by her mouth.
"You just need to follow me."
