Chapter 318 I Want to Find the Truth

Swish...

The Spirit Fire Sail slowly moved forward on the dark water, creating ripples and leaving a trail on the dead and cold water.

The forbidden knowledge collected by the pilgrims...

While observing the surroundings, Frog listened to Carlos's story and nodded thoughtfully.

"In other words, the Fire of Shining All Living Things, your Lord, once became the Original Fire?"

Being in the dungeon, Frog had no way to get real-time information from other players, so he had no way of knowing some important news for the time being.

Therefore, after hearing Carlos' words, he understood.

It turned out that the Fire of Shining All Living Things had burned himself and became the Original Fire of the world...

"Of course, although His era was not beautiful, there is no doubt that the flames he bloomed were visible to the world."

At this point, Carlos responded without hesitation, and he had no doubt about this.

After all, even if other races and followers looked down on the Light of All Beings and the Winged People under their protection for various reasons, they did not falsify it in the history books.

But if we want to say why other races and followers looked down on the Light of All Beings, the reasons are extremely complicated and vague.

Some people think that the power of the Light of All Beings is too weak, which makes the light become thinner and brings disaster to the world.

Others think that this is just the slander and malice of other fires.

And in this taboo knowledge, the sentence "from His own defects" is one of the speculations. In the land of light, it is naturally rebellious and treasonous.

Carlos was also skeptical.

But until he came here now... the shadow under the light!

"So what you mean is... the defects of the Light of All Beings, the reason why the world's light is weak, comes from this so-called dark side?" Frog said.

"Yes." Carlos gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing this, Frog thought for a moment and gave his own thoughts: "If you say so... then in my opinion, your Lord is still worthy of praise."

"After all, burning oneself and becoming the light of the world is a great thing no matter how you look at it."

Frog's evaluation is very pertinent.

Indeed, even if the power of the fire of illuminating all living beings is weak, [The Shadow Under the Light] also shows its flaws and darkness...

But in any case, He burned himself and became the light of the world. This is finally a fact, isn't it?

It's better than running away cowardly, right?

"..." Hearing this, Carlos was stunned.

He didn't seem to expect Frog to say something positive to his Lord, and he didn't know how to answer Frog's words.

Seeing Carlos stunned.

Frog couldn't help but smile, and said with a teasing: "Reading forbidden knowledge, you are extremely disloyal, and you can actually become a pilgrim, tut tut..."

Hearing this, Carlos was embarrassed.

In the land of glory, pilgrims represent the will of the Lord and are responsible for maintaining order and thought. Although they are not that powerful, they have a good status.

Although Carlos is just a marginal figure, strictly speaking, he has been bathed in glory since childhood and has received innate grace... cough, gift.

In this way, Carlos is a bit rebellious.

But he was embarrassed for a moment and then fell silent.

"You are right, this is indeed a great disloyalty and betrayal. I have failed the glory."

"But... I want to seek the truth."

At this point, Carlos spoke in a low voice and told some unknown things.

"...In the City of Glory, the first thing every feathered person sees after breaking out of their shell is the dazzling Glory, followed by their parents."

"Then, they will be sent to various monasteries and academies for further study according to their origins...with the expectation of growing into qualified warriors..."

"I heard from the ancestors that this is the order that has been passed down in the Land of Glory for who knows how long, and it is the right choice that cannot be questioned."

"...Everyone has full confidence in their own abilities, and I used to be the same."

At this point, Carlos's expression was a little complicated.

"The work of the pilgrims is to spread the will of light to all life on the land of light and practice the order of light..."

"...Those who disobey and speak rudely are regarded as "traitors". Their wings must be broken in public on the execution platform of light, their feathers must be plucked, their blood must be drained, and then they must be thrown into the execution sea cave, leaving their souls forever with coldness and darkness..."

"I was once a loyal pilgrim, fanatically hating all those who disobeyed the order and were disloyal, until..."

At this point, Carlos sighed.

"...Until I met a very special winged man...also a so-called "sinner."

"He was born in a remote sea area outside the City of Light, which is a "sea breeze erosion land" despised by the winged people in the capital. To use a phrase often used by the winged people in the capital, it is "the blood is soaked with fishy smell"..."

"What an unbearable description, what a contemptuous word..."

At this point, Carlos sneered.

"But this sinner with the smell of fish in his blood not only ignited his own fire, but also successfully worshipped the fire, mastered magic, and mastered powerful forces that ordinary people could hardly imagine..."

"This is a height that most Brilliant Feather Knights can hardly reach..."

Hearing this, Frog began to think.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

It seems that in the [Glory Land], the Feathered Race has been practicing a system similar to "bloodline inheritance" for a very long time.

Thinking of this, Frog curiously guessed: "Because of his mediocre background and discrimination, he chose to resist and was then executed by you?"

In response, Carlos sighed: "Yes, but not entirely."

"In fact, there were already quite a few de facto 'feather platers' in the City of Glory at that time. They were promoted despite their humble origins, and their once dull feathers became glorious, hence the name."

"According to his talent and ability, it is easy for him to be a feather plater, and the capital also tacitly approves of him."

"Even if he doesn't want to be a feather plater, there is still a way to go, and that is to escape from the Land of Glory."

"After all, as long as you are plated with golden feathers, who can still smell the fishy smell on you?"

At this point, Carlos sighed heavily.

"But... he chose the third way."

"He... wanted all feathered people to have equal status."

"Finally... his rebellious words were discovered, and the City of Glory sent a large number of Brilliant Feather Knights and pilgrims to quickly capture and execute him..."

"Before he died, I, as a pilgrim, arranged his punishment and recited prayers for him."

"He said something to me that left a deep impression on me."

"What was it?" Frog asked.

At this point, Carlos paused, as if he was organizing his words, or trying his best to imitate his tone.

"Once... feathers brought warmth, and wings allowed people to fly freely."

"...But now these bright feathers make you ignore the coldness of the fire..."

"...The heavy wings have imprisoned you firmly in the glory..."

"Let's go."

"Break the wings, pluck the feathers, and I can still fly."

"But you, can never fly again..."

"Hahaha..."

It seems that because he was a little immersed in the imitation, Carlos tried his best to laugh, but suddenly realized that he was just retelling, so he stopped talking awkwardly.

"He is a man." Frog didn't care about this, but nodded in agreement and gave an evaluation.

And Carlos heard it and said what he really thought.

"His death impressed me deeply and made me doubt the law of glory..."

"But as you said, the glory of my Lord is also admirable. It is the responsibility of us feathered people to protect His tomb and continue it."

"So, I want to know more and touch the vague truth..."
