Chapter 2860 The Liberator
"Panic world?" Caroline frowned when she heard Angel's question: "Why are you interested in this dark world?"
After Caroline asked, she suddenly thought of something: "It's okay if you don't want to answer. I don't want to pry into your privacy, but I didn't expect that after the Frost Moon Alliance clearly stated that it was a barren world, there would still be people interested in this world."
Caroline became serious, without the previous madness, and the conversation became more gentle and delicate.
Angel: "It doesn't matter, this is not a private matter, and the wise master also knows... The reason is very simple, because I raised a demon."
While Angel was talking, the shadows on the ground began to surge continuously. Not long after, a leopard-shaped shadow with a blue lantern on its head emerged and stopped beside Angel.
"Hey, this is... an awakened demon?"
"Yes, it's called Ermi."
When Caroline first saw Ermi, she was a little suspicious and cautious, but when she saw Ermi staying beside Angel obediently, she was stunned for a moment and showed great interest in it.
"A demon who has awakened once can actually listen to you? Could it be that you are related to those liberators?"
"Liberator?" It was the first time that Angel heard this name: "I don't know what a liberator is. There are other reasons why Ermi can listen to me. But I'm sorry I can't tell you this reason."
Since Angel didn't want to say the reason, Caroline didn't ask, but she still looked at Ermi with amazement.
"You can do what so many wizards couldn't do back then." Caroline: "It seems that you are not an ordinary wizard without a story."
Angel: "There is a short story that is not very exciting, but I am still a very ordinary wizard."
The wise master beside him whispered: "Ordinary wizards can touch the mysterious level? Or is it that the mainstream trend in the outside world now is humility?"
"This is not a good habit. Occasionally being modest is considered etiquette; being overly modest is hypocrisy."
The wise master was obviously teasing, but Angel was silent for a moment and replied seriously: "Humility is not the mainstream. However, recently in our Savage Cave, many big guys like to call themselves newbies."
When Angel said this, the chat in the tree group came to his mind.
Since the tree group development team released the test version, this version can customize the name... that is, disguise the identity. So, many big guys pretend to be newbies in it. Among them, the most fun is the tree spirit.
The tree spirit especially likes to point fingers at some published research topics in the forum section of the tree group. Even if there is no big problem with the topic itself, he likes to pick out some thorns to argue. And his usual trick is to pretend to be a newbie, pretend to worship, provoke disputes, attract people's attention, and then throw out the opponent's flaws, and finally reveal his identity to make a two-level reversal.
The whole process and routine are played by the tree spirit very well.
Angel even suspected that the tree spirit heard the story of Mito Huangmen from Jon? Let him find this clichéd face-slapping inspiration?
"Then the atmosphere of your Savage Cave is quite... interesting." The wise master wanted to say "vulgar", but thinking of the deterrence of the three ancestral spirits in the Savage Cave, he finally swallowed the vulgarity back.
Angel just smiled and said nothing.
"Touched the mysterious level? You mean, he is a mysterious alchemist?" At this time, Caroline suddenly asked the wise master in a hesitant tone.
Wise Master: "Not yet, but in the future... maybe."
Caroline was silent for a moment, then murmured: "...Sure enough, he is not an ordinary wizard."
"Forget it, no matter whether the story behind you is exciting or not, short or long, it doesn't matter. I might ask a few more questions when I was alive, but now that I am dead, I don't bother to care about the living."
Caroline paused and looked at Angel: "Back to your question, you just said that you want to ask the truth of the panic world?"
Angel nodded.
"This question is too vague, it is a classic question that asks for scolding."
"I don't know how you define the truth, and I don't know what truth you want to know, so you'd better refine this question, otherwise I can't answer it." Caroline: "Besides, I haven't been to the panic world, and my understanding of the panic world is definitely one-sided. You come to me to ask for the truth, I can't give such a heavy question."
After Caroline finished speaking, she looked at Angel, revealing "concern" in her eyes.
Although she didn't say it directly, her burning eyes revealed her inner voice: If you ask this kind of question again, don't blame me for not respecting the old man.
Angel thought for a moment and said, "Can an awakened demon awaken again? What is a liberator? The Frost Moon Alliance said that the Panic Realm is a barren world. Is this true? And..."
Before Angel finished speaking, Caroline interrupted and said, "Stop, ask one question at a time. Since I have awakened, I am not ready to fall asleep again so soon. You don't need to say everything at once. Tell me first, what do you want to know most now?"
Angel thought for a while: "Can an awakened demon awaken again? What are the conditions for awakening again?"
Caroline: "You can awaken again. As for the conditions for awakening, I don't know, or... no one knows. Because the conditions for transcendence are different for each awakened devil. This is like the awakening of a devil. Maybe he drinks A little glass of wine and you’ll wake up?”
Angel: "Detachment?"
Caroline: "The so-called detachment is the second awakening you are talking about. Demons who succeed in detachment will lose their demonic appearance and regain their human form, and their madness and rebellion will also be suppressed, which means they have regained their wisdom. and conscience. This type of awakened devil is called a transcendent person.”
"I know you must be thinking now, what is the relationship between a transcendent person and a liberated person?"
Angel nodded. Indeed, when he heard the word Transcendent, Angel subconsciously thought of the Liberator mentioned by Caroline before.
"The transcendent is equal to the liberated." Caroline: "The transcendent is the self-proclaimed name of the second-awakened demon; and the liberated is the wizard, the unawakened demon, and ordinary people of all races in the panic world. The title of the newly awakened demon."
"Whether it's detachment or liberation, it's actually saying goodbye to the past. It's just that one is pretending to be free and easy, and the other is having to say goodbye."
Caroline paused: "Speaking of which, although no one knows the conditions for the detachment of the awakened demons. However, the awakened demons themselves know it, or in other words, they subconsciously know what to do in order to transcend."
"However, it is precisely because the awakened demon himself knows how to awaken a second time that the world of panic becomes even darker."
Caroline once again mentioned the ‘greyness’ of the panic world, which is also her overall impression of the panic world.
It's like Loft's world, a frightening world of madness. The world of panic, in Carolyn's view, is a dark world.
"The lingering darkness of sorrow surrounds the world of panic. We say we are detached and free, but in fact we are still trapped in it, and we are getting deeper and deeper."
The reason why Caroline said this is that the emergence of the awakened demon is itself a tragedy.
The devil was born to protect ordinary people, but once the devil awakens, he will become the opposite of ordinary people and even feed on ordinary people.
And the awakened devil vaguely knows the direction of his evolution, which is detachment. The awakened devil will continue to move towards transcendence. When the awakened devil truly transcends and their conscience is restored, how will they feel when they look back at the deeds they have done after awakening?
This is definitely a test of people's hearts, and it can definitely be called a human tragedy.
While Caroline was sighing, she couldn't help but look at Earl Mi again.
Ermi is now controlled by Angel, unconsciously. But what will happen if it awakens again, becomes a liberated person, and regains its conscience?
Generally speaking, once a demon awakens, the first people he attacks are his relatives and friends.
Suppose the same is true for Er fans. After it transcends, it discovers that when it awakens, it kills or even eats its close relatives and close friends. Will these Er fans collapse? Can we really achieve transcendence and liberation?
The whole closed loop of ordinary people, demons, demons integrated into the bloodline of demons, awakened demons, and liberated people is like a carefully designed tragedy.
Because of this, Carolyn keeps emphasizing that the world of panic is a dark world.
Caroline's explanation actually told the "truth" that Angel wanted.
What Angel wants to know most is if Ermi awakens again, will it be good or bad for Angel? Will it get crazier?
The answer is now available. Whether it is good or bad needs to be considered dialectically, but if Ermi awakens again, he will be a liberated person.
The liberated person will regain his conscience, which is equivalent to returning to the state of a normal person. As for whether he will become cold-blooded again in the end, it depends on the character and toughness of the liberated person.
However, although the answer to Earl's fandom was already there, Angel became even more curious about the panic world.
Just as Caroline said, everything in the panic world is like a carefully designed tragedy. Moreover, it is a human tragedy that will inevitably be experienced.
If the stage of this tragedy is the entire panic world, then who is the audience? Who designed such a script?
Angel asked the doubts in his heart, and Caroline shook her head: "The audience may be us, outsiders. But who designed this tragedy, I don't know. Maybe it is the world will of the panic world, or maybe it is A more powerful supernatural being dominates all this."
Caroline sighed softly: "This was once the truth that I wanted to explore, but unfortunately I can no longer do it."
The world's mysteries are endless, but people's lifespan is limited. Caroline's self-pity turned the atmosphere slightly toward sadness.
Angel was silent for a moment and said softly: "Existence is reasonable. The same is true for the existence of the soul."
"Since consciousness has not died and still exists in the world, the exploration of the end should not stop."
When she heard Angel's words, Caroline was stunned. After a while, she made a "pop" sound and laughed.
Laughter broke the silent atmosphere and dispelled the faint sadness on the field.
"I was comforted by a little wizard?" Caroline: "Although your comfort is too idealistic, but... thank you. Angel, right, I remember your name, you are more dominant than the wise man This old guy is much more lovable.”
Angel still said seriously: "This is not an idealization, but a fact."
"I have seen people whose bodies and artifacts have merged, but are still waiting for the fire to be rekindled."
Caroline: "You mean Cecia? I'm different from her."
Angel: "I've seen people who have been trapped in one place for thousands of years, but still look forward to hope."
Caroline: "You mean the wise master? Forget about using him as an example."
Angel did not answer, but continued: "I have seen people whose bodies decayed and whose souls were weak, but still did not give up exploring knowledge; I have seen people who died at a young age, turned into souls, and stayed alone in the pile of dead bodies, waiting for light."
"I have also seen people whose souls fell into the abyss, but only their consciousness escaped, but still did not give up looking for the future."
"Even people like this are still exploring the end, why does Ms. Caroline feel that she can't explore the way forward?"
Angel lowered his eyebrows: "Maybe my views are shallow. I think that since the Quest world exists, it has its meaning; if I were in Ms. Caroline's situation, I would probably find a way to explore the 'end' of the Quest world and find the meaning of the soul."
"Just like the soul wizard often says, death is not the end, but the beginning of another journey."
After Angel finished speaking, Caroline's smile disappeared, as if she thought of something and fell into a period of contemplation.
The wise master looked at Angel with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Angel's words were not so resounding. Thousands of years ago, after Caroline died, the wise master actually said something similar, but Caroline didn't listen to it at that time.
Perhaps it was because Angel was a stranger that Caroline met for the first time? Humans are often willing to confide in strangers and are more willing to listen to strangers.
If Caroline listened to him this time, the wise master would really thank Angel.
Caroline didn't think for too long, and soon returned to normal, even in the mood to make a joke.
"I'm going to change my name to: Angel's Flower, I wonder if it's too late?"
Angel: "..."
Caroline saw Angel's speechless expression and laughed even louder. However, the thoughts hidden under the laughter, perhaps only she knew.
"Put aside other topics and get back to the topic. In addition, do you have any questions you want to know?"
Angel nodded immediately: "Yes. Ms. Caroline also knows about the Frost Moon Alliance? Is it true that the Panic Realm is barren as they say?"
