"Folly"
First of all, Happy New Year!
Secondly, 90 chapters a month, let's start updating!
We're being watched!
The two were startled when they saw the reflection in the sword tip. They exchanged a glance and, without saying a word, ran out with all their might.
But Qin Xin wasn't about to let them go. The Mirror Walker casually struck with two swords, knocking the two who were trying to escape to the ground. Allen Doyle cried out and fell to the ground, while Morabik grunted and immediately reached into his pocket.
Seeing this, Qin Xin struck Morabik on the back of the head with his sword again, and smiled kindly, "I suggest you don't move around, otherwise you will not be seeing your Lord of Grace, but rather [death]."
Morabik froze, his whole body tense. He wisely spread his arms wide, signaling to the people behind him that he had given up resisting.
At this moment, the Blind Man also strolled over. Sensing the presence of the two people, she asked with a puzzled expression:
"It truly exudes the aura of 'Folly,' however faint it may be. But how could His presence exist in this era..."
Are you Wise One who Faith "Folly"?
Wise One?
Is it possible that someone understands my Lord and calls us Wise One?
At that moment, for a brief instant, the fear that had overwhelmed Morabik and Allen Doyle melted away, and they even felt a joy that they could not share with others.
They know Folly, they know our Lord!
Praise be to our Lord of Grace, for Your wisdom has finally begun to spread underground.
Of course, the above thoughts were just fleeting. As "Wise One," they still knew how to assess the situation and act accordingly.
Morabik dared not make a move until the Blind Man walked around to his front. When he slowly looked up and saw a woman with her eyes closed, the "Folly" Believer was stunned, and then sighed thoughtfully.
"Praise be to my Lord, for it is the wisdom of 'Folly' that has protected you and allowed you to see the truth of the world."
Another person, seemingly unaware of the situation but quite "clever," chimed in. "Indeed, your ability to discover us is proof of your wisdom; He has indeed begun to influence all living beings."
"?"
Hearing this, even the Blind Man laughed in anger.
These "Folly" Believer were clearly different from the "Folly" followers I knew. Although their tone carried the arrogance that ordinary "Folly" Believer possessed, their minds seemed... not so great either.
They were not as astute as other [Folly] Believer, especially [Folly] players.
"Two Wise One, I cannot fathom whether you are feigning ignorance and waiting for the right moment, or whether you truly do not understand the current situation, but that is not important."
We are very interested in your so-called audience with the Buddha, and we are also curious about the Abyssal Crystal you mentioned. Therefore, you two may discuss which Wise One should tell us why you are here, and how you can gain an audience with your so-called Lord of Grace, [Folly].
"I'll do it!"
"I'll do it!"
The two men's voices were strong and resonant, neither willing to give in. When they heard the other respond, they lay on the ground, twisting their necks backward to look at each other, their eyes filled with endless contempt.
"Morabik, you are too focused on details and far inferior to me in terms of macro-narrative, so this moment to proclaim the wisdom of our Lord should be my turn."
"Idiot, can't you tell they're trying to steal our Experiment?"
"Of course I know, but I will use the wisdom given to me by my Lord to influence them and turn them into followers as devout as we are!"
And you? You knew they wanted to extract information about the Experiment, so why did you agree to their request?
"Idiot, because I want to live!"
"..."
"..."
No, you two aren't even trying to avoid suspicion when I ask you to discuss this. You're just openly discussing it like this.
What, you can tell we Fire Keeper don't kill indiscriminately?
Qin Xin and the Blind Man were completely stunned. Standing behind these two "fools," their expressions were incredibly varied.
At this moment, their filter of the "Folly" Believer shattered a little, and they even wondered if the "Folly" you two believed in was really Folly?
Qin Xin was overjoyed. He sheathed his longsword, feeling that there was no need to use force against such an enemy. He looked at Morabik, scrutinized him for a long time, and then made a "judgment" on the "competition" between the two in front of him.
"Then you come, Allen Doyle, right? You come."
Qin Xin realized that Morabik's "emotional intelligence" was indeed a bit higher than Allen Doyle's, so he decided to ask the "stupid" one first. The Blind Man agreed with his choice, and the two of them turned their attention to the Wise One who was lying on the ground with his neck twisted backwards and his face full of excitement.
Allen Doyle was delighted. After getting permission, he quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and began to explain in a serious tone, but his explanation sounded more like a lecture...
"As you know, we are the followers of the most intelligent beings in the Cosmos, the source of all knowledge in the world, the god of [Folly]."
We have come here to spread His wisdom and, incidentally, to collect some materials necessary for our Experiment, in order to conduct a great Experiment that will bring us closer to Him.
The basis of this Experiment is reason... that some confused seekers of knowledge discovered distorted Divinity in the Abyssal Crystal, and we have mastered the method to refine it!
Just imagine, when a Mortals can grasp Divinity, the wisdom and courage contained within will surely win His mercy!
At that time, we will become the vanguard in summoning the god of [Folly], opening a door to the essence of this confused and ignorant world!
Under His watchful gaze, all life will experience a growth in spiritual wisdom and a rebirth of knowledge!
"..."
"..."
"How about it? Are you shocked? An Experiment that could be presented to the gods may be born in our hands, no, in the hands of Morabik and me."
Mortals are like dust, knowledge is like a sea of stars, and gods surpass the universe!
Once we have completed this Experiment, and the eyes of the Cosmos are focused here, we will have the opportunity to rise from the dust, and under the Lord's gaze, ascend to become a star in the Starry Sky, wielding the Divine Authority of knowledge, and becoming His most devout and steadfast followers!
Allen Doyle was indeed good at macro-narrative, but "macro-narrative" here is not a good term; in other words, it can also be called... empty promises.
Qin Xin and the Blind Man were indeed stunned, but not because of Allen Doyle's Experiment, but because of the will conveyed in his words. This was not the will of "Folly" at all, but rather resembled the will of "Truth".
Could these two be Believer in "Truth" disguised as "Folly"?
What are they doing?
Is it a way to offer piety by stealing someone's home?
But there's no house of the Folly to steal now, He hasn't come yet!
Qin Xin frowned and asked in confusion, "You... are Scholar from the Tower of Reason?"
"No!"
How did you know?
"..."
