Monsters Will Die If They Are Killed

Chapter 8 Oath and Judgment

"Love... is an obligation?"

At this time, the two had walked to the front of the hotel where Ammon lived, a small coastal road with few people.

Hearing this, Su Zhou's complexion couldn't help being somewhat subtle.

"Wait, you mean, this is an oath? Elias wrote this thing in the oath?!"

"Love is an obligation?"

He repeated it again, turning his head and looking at Aimeng, Su Zhou repeated in a weird tone: "It is everyone's duty to love everyone... and if someone doesn't want to love other people..."

"That is evil! The Lord of Judgment will punish those villains!"

As if it was a conditioned reflex, the gray-haired priest subconsciously took the words-and when he finished, Emmon immediately noticed something was wrong. He turned around in a little panic, folded his hands together, and bowed half to Su Zhou, confessing: "Ah. , I'm overstepping the rules... My lord, please discipline..."

"What is punishable, you people are kind of weird."

Su Zhou frowned slightly, and suddenly there was a premonition in his heart not knowing whether it was good or bad.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled the details of the little boy and businessman incident that he had overlooked.

——You have to be careful and don't do it again next time, otherwise, the Lord of Judgment will come to you.

Which businessman finally gave a gentle warning to the little boy.

But... is this really mild?

After a few seconds, he said solemnly: "Aimon, I have a question for you."

"Please test me, my lord!"

Ai Meng replied without hesitation, he waited for Su Zhou's inquiry.

"It's like before, the kid spilled fish soup on the merchant's pants... If the kid didn't apologize, or after apologizing, the next time he made a mistake, then this matter is also subject to trial... I am in charge?"

"Naturally." Ammon nodded naturally: "The Lord of Punishment said: No matter how small the evil is, it is a sin. Ignore one case today, two cases tomorrow, and four cases in the future-if sin is ignored, even a tiny bit. After a hundred days, it is also the bitter fruit of transcending the world!"

...Everything,The real god... so it is.Su Zhou's expression was a little heavy, and he nodded slightly, somehow he understood what kind of god the Lord of Judgment was.

"But how to punish, such a small evil?"

After being silent for a while, the young man continued to ask.

And the gray-haired priest looked at Su Zhou strangely--this kind of thing was like a cat asking an ant how he should catch the mouse, but after thinking about it, Ammon thought this might be a test of God, so he took it seriously. He replied: "Lord, I don't know how you will punish the wicked after God descends-but if it is before God descends, I do."

"You will pick some wicked people at random and punish them indiscriminately."

"Whether it is a child or an old man, whether it is a scholar or a groom, as long as they make a mistake, they may be punished. And this is your way to induce all living beings to be good!"

With that said, the priest's eyes stared at Su Zhou, with a slightly fanatical look: "Lord, you are the thunder of sanctions, the balance of arbitration, the center of the world-old people and children, scholar horsemen, king priests, fishermen and farmers, What is the difference between them in your eyes?"

"For the sake of goodness, for love, for the righteousness of this world, to take the thunderous punishment to destroy all evils, isn't this the compassion you have shown?"

Su Zhou was silent for a long time upon hearing this.

——Love is an obligation.Not loving is wrong.

If what Ammon said is true, then everything I saw before...

"Ammon, can I see your doctrine."

How could Ammon say no?

Half-kneeling, he used the fastest speed to untie the doctrine from his waist, and then was forcibly lifted by Su Zhou with spiritual power, so he passed the doctrine to the opponent without knowing it.

"It's actually a steel cover, not iron? Interesting, but if you want to use this doctrine as a weapon, there is one missing corner. If you want me to design it, it will definitely be designed like this, then it is called perfection."

The large doctrine with a stainless steel cover is about two laps larger than a human head. If it is an ordinary person who can carry it with him, it is difficult to hold it all the time. It is no wonder that the selection of priests starts from the Awakening level.

Su Zhou didn't hesitate, he opened the sacred texts and covenants of the reincarnation world, flipping through the contents as quickly as possible.

Although the book is heavy and heavy, in fact, the paper inside the doctrine is very light, and it is not inferior to the technology of the earth. After all, there are not many technologies left in the city of Neisser, which has been developed for hundreds of years. This level is indeed not surprising.

And Ammon stood by, not daring to move randomly. Although the priest was worried, he still couldn't help but feel a little bit of doubt.

"Dictations and covenants, isn't it that the masters personally compiled it? Every time the central church adds a new code, it will report it to the gods, ask the oracles, and only change it after getting permission and suggestions for changes!"

"Don't you know, my lord, the lord of judgment?"

Although Su Zhou sensed the confusion in Ai Meng's heart, it was not the time to explain it—not to mention, he didn't need to explain it.

Using the quantum reading method (pseudo) to quickly browse through the entire doctrine, Su Zhou closed the thick scripture, and his expression became very subtle.

"Where are the scriptures, where are the theological classics-this is basically three thousand moral rules, one hundred thousand codes of conduct!"

"It's no wonder that this Aimeng opened his mouth as the Lord So and so said, and closed his mouth is the Lord's holy saying-this entire book is all about this!"

This is not what Su Zhou said casually.

The content of the teaching and covenant can be roughly divided into "five notes" and "seventeen books".

Among them, the "Five Notes" are the "New Era, "Farewell", "Origin", "Oath", and "Direction". They respectively represent the creation myth of the people on fire, the exchanges and trends of the gods after the creation, and all things in the world. The origin of the race, the initial code established by gods and people, and the subsequent development process.

And the following seventeen books are the new content added to the doctrine by the seventeen gods and gods after receiving the oracle—in other words, the version update record.

The current teaching and covenants are already in the seventeenth edition. The supplementary rules, explanatory instructions, and every word and deed that people should do are all heinously detailed!

[The Holy Word of the Lord of Wind says: People should only eat creatures that are harmless after confirmation.Those newly discovered species are handed over to priests and supernatural beings to eat and practice the way forward.

[Eating unknown creatures is like walking in Yelin. I don’t know if there is a trapped snake in front of me, and I don’t know if the road ahead is right.So let the priests and supernatural beings go to step, they have the power to regret and hind legs.

[The Holy Word of the Lord of Punishment says: You must not steal, murder, commit adultery, or commit false evidence, or envy others.You should fear death, do not move evil thoughts in everything, do not have the desire for destruction, or greed.

[If you think you can do it because of the small evil, then how is it different from the big evil?Stealing and killing are harming others, and the righteous are unwilling to do it.

[The Holy Word of the Lord of Punishment says: You should respect your parents, elders, scholars, family, friends, and all strangers.You should be kind, and if someone needs help, and you can help, you should help.

[If you feel that you can't do it because of the small good, then what is the difference between this and evil?Donating one cent and ten thousand is help, and doing something is good.

[The Holy Word of the Lord of Fire has said: If it is not a life-and-death crisis, people should let go of the mother beast when fishing or hunting.

Heavens reincarnation, the weak and the strong eat, but we humans should surpass it, so we should be the beast, for ourselves, and leave a ray of life.

These are just some of the basic “Code of Oaths” recorded in the “Book of Oaths”.

In the subsequent seventeen books, these vows are even more subdivided and recorded.

For example, Xiguang City-this is the first large coastal city established by the Huo Min. There are also many new fish and seafood discovered here, which can be regarded as unknown creatures... and these creatures, without exception , All are left to the priests and extraordinary people to try cooking and eating methods.

It’s like crabs, sea urchins and octopus. Crabs have been tried for a long time since they should be steamed, fried, boiled or grilled. Finally, they found out which meat is edible and which is not. How to eat crab roe, and how to make it delicious, took a long time and research.

Not to mention sea urchins and octopuses. There have even been instances where priests swallowed octopuses alive and almost suffocated. This is recorded in the "Seventeen Books" as a precept to warn ordinary people not to try unknown food easily. It is highlighted.

In order to ensure that ordinary people can eat these brand new creatures in accordance with the instructions of the "Code" in any way, all the priests of the Lord of the Wind must try to eat the "food" regardless of whether they seem strange or strange.

In fact, Su Zhou recalled the strange statues that were stepping on crabs, sea urchins and other creatures beside Xiguang City Square-now thinking about it, isn't it just to commemorate the first people who ate crabs, sea urchins and octopuses ?

Su Zhou even saw small statues and scrolls of these people in many places in this restaurant street. The portraits of these people are enshrined throughout the city of Xiguang.

Their hard work is indeed worth remembering.

In all fairness, Su Zhou must admit that the theology and teachings in this world are indeed quite interesting.

For example, in "Origin", the records about the origin of the people of fire and people of wind are very interesting.

The Lord of Fire, Elias, used a method that even an old farmer who has never read a book can understand, explaining why people drink water, why they can’t drink sea water, and why they should stay away from danger. The reason why the water source is farther away.

He even compiled a series of fairy tales, admonishing everyone that it is best to drink boiled water, because this can curb the activity of the "soul of water", so that the water will not move after entering the human body, and it will not make people feel better. Because after drinking water, I have a stomachache and have gastrointestinal problems.

For a society where the people’s intelligence has not been fully developed, productivity is not allowed, and a society that does not understand parasites and bacteria at all, it is naturally necessary to use myths, legends and saints to teach the people.

After all, this is a world with transcendence and gods. If you don't make good use of the advantages of the sect, then it is unscientific.

Su Zhou naturally understands this. After all, Elias is not a humanoid library with 103,000 magical books in his mind. When he became a god, he was still a teenager, and his magic was better, alchemy. I'm not very proficient in art, how can I know what to develop?

Being able to compose so many sacred words, and teach his people painstakingly, so that they can live a safe and ethical life, is enough to prove his intelligence.

However, for such an interesting thing, a complete set of five seventeen books and close to two thousand pages of rules were compiled. That is not fun and clever, but terrible!

This guy, for everyone in this world, has woven a whole set of networks, covering all aspects, almost without omission... To put it a bit nasty, he even stipulated where people should go to the toilet, what posture they should use, if If you urinate and defecate anywhere, you should be punished by the Lord of Judgment!

Can this be said to be bad?

Of course not!

Urinating and urinating anywhere is not only dirty, but it can also cause the spread of infectious bacteria. It is indeed imperative to regulate urination and urination anywhere... But if God's punishment is used to intimidate, force... or even threaten to force...

This is a bit, anti-aircraft guns hit mosquitoes.

And the content of this kind of anti-aircraft guns on mosquitoes, the entire doctrine, 1,900 pages, every page!

"Elias this guy...Even everyone is equal without discrimination. People should be generous and share this kind of thing with each other. All of them are written into the code... If you make a mistake, you must apologize, and if you apologize, you must forgive. , This kind of thing, he actually requires enforcement..."

"In this completely theocracy world, use'duties' to force everyone to love everyone in an equal world..."

Recalling the content of the teaching agreement, Su Zhou even shuddered-because the owner of the shop who invited him to drink the fish soup before really complied with the teaching agreement perfectly at every step, that is,'to strangers from abroad, Show the generosity and kindness you should have as a shop owner.'at this point!

In theory, after accepting this kindness, then Su Zhou should also go to the store for two meals in the future, as a generous return to the owner!

In this way, are people smiling because of genuine goodwill from the heart, or just mechanized obedience to everything in the doctrine?

Even if Su Zhou used the magical power of the Demon Devourer to see, I'm afraid there is no way to tell...

"Crack!"

Su Zhou closed the doctrine in his hand and made a clanging sound comparable to a shield strike, and even the Blade of Destruction on the side turned dizzy for a while, as if he was looking for a weapon collision.

"I'm finished."

He turned his head and looked at Aimeng. Su Zhou said in a solemn voice, "Use religious beliefs to enforce the rules of'goodness'... Let's not talk about usefulness and uselessness, but everything is arranged in such detail, then follow up How should it be changed?"

"It's like a certain kind of organism. At that time, because of the breeding method, it was judged that it should not be eaten because of the breeding method. However, if there is a safe breeding method in later generations, what should be done in this code? Continue to let it not eat. Even if others eat it in a safe way, they should stop it?"

"This... my lord, shouldn't this be your decision?"

In response, Ammon folded his hands together and prayed in a low voice. He didn’t know what to say, but said in a daze: “You are always right. If the situation changes, then you will issue an oracle to order the gods of the central church. It’s just fine for Lord Blessed to revise the doctrine."

"...What is called me is always correct? And if you say that, if I don't change it, won't you change it yourself?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou finally realized what was wrong with the people in this world and the detailed and heinous teachings——

All believers, and even God himself, acquiesce in God, their Lord, who is always right incarnation!

If God does not correct the mistake, then the mistake will continue, and man himself will never correct the'error' by himself!

"You should have your own ideas, and don't rely on oracles for everything-what should you do if you encounter something without a code?"

Handing back the doctrine in his hand to Aimeng, Su Zhou's tone was serious: "Moreover, such detailed rules can't satisfy everyone, right? If you are not careful and make a mistake, should you punish it? Some people have questioned certain rules, thinking that this is a mistake and want to correct it, is it evil?"

"If someone makes a mistake, but is not discovered by anyone, what will happen to him?"

The youth's tone became heavier and heavier: "What if you just want to do it in your heart, but don't actually do it?"

"This, this is natural, my lord... If you don't have a code, you shouldn't do it. That's also evil."

Regarding Su Zhou’s doubts about being so familiar, Ammon, who had never thought about this problem, couldn’t help but get stuck. He didn’t have any relevant instructions in the holy words or vows in his mind, so he could only answer with some stumbling. : "If someone makes a mistake, then they should be punished. If someone actively violates it, then he is a heresy! If you don't inform the gods and question the precepts without authorization, you are naturally a very evil person!"

As he spoke, his words became fluent.

At this time, Ammon recalled the grievances that his family had suffered when he was a child, and the injustices he had suffered.

Indeed...Even if the Lord is so hard thinking and arranging a good path for everyone, there are always wicked people who are born to hurt and deceive others for pleasure.

Even if God makes a covenant with everyone, there are people who risk being punished, make mistakes, do evil, and hate others.

Just like those giant business officials who planted their own families in the past, and... those overseas pirates who would rather leave the mainland and live in the sea than abide by the commandment vows!

The mere existence of those real heretics makes Ammon angry!

"So... my lord, strict punishment is necessary!"

Clenching his fists, Ammon raised his head and looked at Su Zhou with a serious face. His tone was more religious, even with a hint of enthusiasm: "Because there are always people who make mistakes accidentally, I need you. It’s up to you to judge good and evil, and you to punish. Punish those villains who violated the covenant between God and man, and tell everyone what bitter plight they should swallow if they don’t walk on the right path!"

"I just thought in my heart, but actually didn't do it. There is no way-the Lord of Fire says: evil is evidenced by deeds, and good is the heart first. Since we have not done it, it is not considered evil. So, we Everyone must try their best to improve their hearts and get close to God. This is the test of walking the right way and lasting a lifetime!"

"As for it, no one knows."

After saying this, the gray-haired priest laughed. The eyes of this middle-aged man of dozens of years seemed to be overflowing with light: "In this world, there may indeed be crimes that some people don’t know about. But there is no crime you don't know about!"

"Whether it is anyone, as long as he commits a crime, he is destined to be punished-it may be a moment later, maybe a moment later, or it may be several years, more than ten years later, as long as someone sees this scene, it may even be a crime. When the person himself saw this scene, everything must be known to God—unless the offender ran to the sea that your God's Domain could not cover, otherwise as long as he was on land, any offender would definitely receive his due punishment!"

When I said this, Aimeng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He folded his hands once again, ready to kneel to Su Zhou: "It is my inability to wait for the sanctuary to allow too many evil heretics to travel to the sea, so that the passage of the Holy Fire Continent and the New World They are all cut off by pirates...but, my lord, your god came here, perhaps just to punish those villains!"

After kneeling, the priest piously confessed his mistakes to his god and admitted his own'error'.

——The duty of the God of Fire is to maintain the rules.

——The duty of the God of Wind is to explore the unknown.

O Lord God of Judgment, your duty is to punish all mistakes!

"...I forgive you. It's not your fault."

Trial, punishment--

Su Zhou had heard these words many times in Aim's heart.

What kind of trial is this trial?Punishment, what kind of punishment is it?

It was not written in the teaching agreement, and Su Zhou himself could not ask such questions.

After all, he himself is the god of judgment...at least in theory.

Seeing the high emotions in front of him and wanting to show the present-day Ammon for his god, Su Zhou was too embarrassed to break the fantasies of his believers, saying something, "I'm sorry, I am not your god" Your god prototype is me , I came here this time mainly to see what he really is, and what is going on to make such a god’s rubbish.

"Well, it doesn't make sense to ask you... then, go and ask Elias yourself."

I wanted to say something, but in the end I just sighed. Su Zhou shook his head slightly. He waved his hand and said helplessly: "Thanks for your hard work, Aimen, then I will go to see this city by myself, you If something happens, just rest."

"By the way, don't talk to other people about me."

"Why is this so hard, my lord? All the problems are just your test of me, and I am happy."

Ai Meng shook his head from the bottom of his heart, denying the point of'hard work'. He took a step back and gave way for Su Zhou to leave: "I must be tight-lipped, even if the Lord of Fire comes, I will never let go!"

"...I didn't say that this level should be reached. If the Lord of Fire really asks, you can tell him."

Su Zhou laughed blankly at this, then turned his head and walked slowly towards the alleys on the street, while Aimen nodded seriously in response: "Yes! My lord!"

Watching Su Zhou's departure, love and respect came from the heart of the gray-haired priest.

Then, a trace of doubt was born again.

-Zhuhe is so approachable and full of life.

However, it is not the same as the Lord of Judgment that I thought in my heart in the past...

In my heart, the Lord of Judgment should be fair, majestic, and impersonal.It's like a gallows, like a beheading stand, going straight and clean, without any sin or error.

"Why... the Lord is so gentle? Isn't the Lord devouring all evil dragons? Why does he tolerate those villains who are not willing to abide by the rules?"

"The Lord of Evil, the God of Judgment, isn't this the Lord's power and the name of God? Why..."

After thinking about it, Ammon couldn't find the answer.

But at this moment, he saw that Su Zhou's back suddenly stopped.

"Ammon, the execution platform in the city center is for trial?"

The priest, he heard the voice of his own god, so he replied seriously and loudly: "Yes, my lord, that is the place to judge the wicked, heretics, and unrighteous people!"

"My lord, there will be a trial tomorrow. If you ask about this, do you want to do it yourself? Please don't do it! Those dirty sinners who have been brought to justice, just leave it to us to deal with Up."

"...How would you punish?"

"The thief breaks his hand, the robber breaks his leg, the man who tells right and wrong breaks his tongue, the one who escapes cut off his thumb, and the one who intentionally hurts others beheads."

"Unless they are hated by thousands of people, everyone prays and prays together, begging you to take action to destroy the evildoers with thunder, otherwise, the Lord does not need to take action."

Aimen smiled, with a tone of justice that could no longer be fair, he categorically said: "All this is your grace, my lord, we may not be able to judge whether some people are evil, but you are just. Incarnation, no matter who has committed a crime or is known to others, he will endure an absolute trial."

But Aimeng didn't see it. Su Zhou's expression was changing slightly at this time, and finally, he finally realized it.

——So that's it, I see!

He turned his head and looked at all this.

Su Zhou looked around the scenery of the entire sunset city, and finally realized something in his heart: "This God of Judgment punishes all'wrong' punishments, to put it bluntly, what is the difference between the catastrophe system described in fate?"

"And this world, although it looks beautiful and complete, everyone is equal and without discrimination, but the commandments are like this... Isn't this the prelude to the'happiest future' described by fate?!"

At this time, Su Zhou had already stepped forward again. He bid farewell to Ai Meng, but his expression was deep.

——Could it be that my derivative has been eroded by fate, so it has been uttering in the void?

And the same is true of the thought-provoking attitude of the Lord Jiu before?He also sensed the erosion of fate, so he was ready to change his attitude and plan?

No, destiny and reincarnation are originally an ancient combination...

"Yala, what do you think of this world?" After thinking for a while, Su Zhou couldn't help asking the snake spirit in his soul space.

The scarlet snake spirit, who has been watching all this, shook his head slightly, revealing a subtle gaze: "I won't say, Su Zhou, this time, maybe it really belongs to your trial."

"Really...it is true. I certainly don't like other people's answers. Even if it is Yala, I am afraid I will not agree with it."

"It's good that you understand this."

Thinking like this, there is no answer in my heart.

Su Zhou has made up his mind to wait until tomorrow's trial before making any plans.
