Chapter 2248 The Deal Is Over?
"Because I'm different from the others—"
"Because I'm 'greedy'."
This is how he answered her, speaking very casually, but it seemed to be a matter of course.
Luna looked at him in a daze, and after a moment of hesitation, she blinked again, tilted her head and said:
"I still don't quite understand...does it mean that the degree of 'sin' is different?"
"You are very smart."
After hearing Luna's words, the black figure seemed to appreciate her a little. It's just that the demon's expression is something that humans can't distinguish. Except for Luna, who has mastered the rules of empathy, who can vaguely feel some of the opponent's mood, no one present can perceive it.
After saying something that seemed to be a compliment, the other party continued:
"Of course, apart from the degree, the most important thing is the difference in essence. As I said just now, I am greedy, but if greed is a sin, then all life in this world...is guilty."
Perhaps it was Luna's admirable question that aroused his interest. He didn't want to discuss it too deeply, so he couldn't help continuing after a pause:
"That...Miss Granger, right? She said that greed is the desire to possess more than what is needed. There is nothing wrong with this statement itself, but the seven deadly sins...or each of the devil's corresponding It is a 'big crime', but none of them can be clearly stated in just one sentence."
Having said that, the black figure opposite Luna suddenly raised his head, his eyes passed over the top of Luna's head, and fell to Hermione behind.
"Like 'arrogance,'" he said, "I know that some people call it the worst of the seven deadly sins, disrespect and contempt for everything in the world, and the attempt to control everything that is or is not your own. But in fact, you could also say it's a kind of greed, greed for self-existence, greed for control."
"Another example is 'gluttony'. Of course, this crime does not refer to excessive demand for food. If we have to explain it simply, it may be said to be 'addiction and waste'. It is self-satisfaction with the good status quo and excess. the greed of..."
The Seven Deadly Sins only selected two of them for a simple analysis and explanation, so he didn't go any further. This is naturally because he feels that there is no need to interpret each of them, because he knows that almost none of the human beings who can stay on this high tower platform are really stupid.
Not to mention thinking from scratch,
At least through the analysis of his two examples like this, if you think about it by analogy, you can probably understand it!
As for looking at Hermione instead of Luna while talking like now, does it mean that his explanation is for Hermione, but it doesn't seem to be necessarily the case.
Soon, the black figure turned his eyes back to the face of Luna in front of him again, looked at the latter and said:
"By the way, did you just ask me 'Should we cooperate'?"
"Well," Luna nodded, but then shook her head, "Oh, but this is no longer a question—since you proposed it, of course you hope to cooperate!"
"That's... that's right." Hearing what she said, the other party was slightly taken aback, and then nodded.
"That's all right."
Luna also nodded, then immediately turned around and looked behind, saying:
"Hermione, do you really want to leave the decision to me?"
When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but hesitated again, but after taking another look at the black figure, she gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Okay," Luna smiled at her, then immediately turned her head to look directly at the black figure in front of her and said, "Then let's cooperate!"
...
Luna's decision can even be described as "sloppy", which especially puzzled the other friends present.
But since Hermione dared to hand over the decision-making power to Luna, and Luna dared to make such a decision, even though the big guys were puzzled, they would not do it in front of the lord of living corpses and the demon "greedy" What objections are raised.
Today, after going through so many things, everyone's trust has been completely established. And since everyone has recognized the wisdom of Hermione and Luna, even if they have different ideas about things decided by them, the first thing they will consider is usually whether they have made a mistake.
However, apart from Luna and Hermione's friends on this platform, there are still a few "outsiders" after all.
For example, the Patriarch of the Blois family who has never really integrated into it from the beginning to the end.
"Our Blois family will not participate in this matter."
As Mr. Blois said, he kept his eyes on the black figure for a moment, and then took a light step forward. The next moment, I saw the space around him suddenly distorted, and then suddenly contracted... After the space calmed down, Bulova completely disappeared from the platform and left.
Yes, it's true that this isn't England anymore, although the sky is still clouded with gloom. Without the interference and influence of the seemingly ubiquitous power of soul rule on that piece of land, Bulova could choose to apparate and leave at any time.
No one stopped him, not even the Lord of the Living Corpses, and he seemed to think that this was not a problem.
"It's a pity to lose a considerable amount of help," he said after a few seconds of silence after Bulova left hastily, "However, I respect everyone's choice... If anyone else is unwilling to participate Yes, even if you leave, no one will force you."
After speaking loudly, he looked at Luna who was still sitting opposite, and said slowly:
"Since you agree, let's discuss how to cooperate as soon as possible! First of all, I must tell you that several demons are currently concentrated in the south of England, near the coast of the English Channel."
At this point, he paused for a moment, not knowing what he thought of. After the momentary delay subsided, he continued:
"Dealing with demons is not a task that can be completed in a short while, especially when they get together. Since we have decided to cooperate, this is the first trouble we will face. So... I It is intended to draw them apart first—at least not all together—Miss Lovegood, and everyone, what do you think?"
Although Luna's decision made most of the partners on the platform feel a little delicate, but no one raised any objections, so this cooperation really came to a rather dramatic conclusion.
It's just obvious that everyone has discovered that the lord of the living corpse seems to be much more enthusiastic and eager to solve the problem of demons than everyone expected. As soon as the negotiation was successful, they immediately began to discuss the most preliminary plan.
No one knew what was hidden under his calm surface, and he was even more anxious than the human side.
