I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
(Today's super large cup!)
Two assassins and one priest in one battle, this is the temporary lineup for this trial.
To be honest, this configuration is really good, especially considering that Da Yi's position is more like a free man who can switch seamlessly between assassin and "warrior", this lineup looks even better.
But the only drawback is that teammates have too many concerns and may break up halfway.
However, Cheng Shi was not one to dwell on the future. He kept observing the three people and said:
"The architectural style here is different from that of previous civilizations, but the interior decoration has some shadows of the early civilization. I can't recognize where this place is. I wonder if you guys can help me solve this puzzle?"
After hearing this, Dayi's eyebrows drooped and he started looking at the floor, looking like a typical poor student.
Jiang Chi smiled slightly, turned his head stiffly, looked at a dark painting on the wall with no clear image on it, and exclaimed: "The art of this period is... unique, yes, unique."
Only Duyao chuckled and said firmly while leaning against the handrail of the stairs:
"This is Rosna of the Fallen Era."
The Age of Destruction?
Rosner?
Cheng Shi frowned, his eyes full of confusion. He had never even heard of this place.
There are very few trials in the Age of Sinking. Nine out of ten players probably don’t know much about the history of [Sinking]. The fragments of history that the remaining one knows mostly come from underground explorations in the Age of Civilization.
So when Du Yao said the name "Rossner", none of the other three people present could respond.
Obviously, the three of them were among the nine "poor students".
However, poor grades did not mean that he had no curiosity. After hearing Du Yao's words, Jiang Chi gave up pretending to be an artist and turned around and asked with interest:
"What is Rosner...?"
"The [Decadent] country, in its limited history, people prefer to call it a tragic country."
"The land of tragedy?"
"yes."
Du Yao moved, her fingers slid slowly along the handrail, her eyes lingering on the decoration of the attic, and she explained as she walked downstairs:
“The people here all believe in [corruption]. They think that people are born with sin, and hurting oneself is a way to eliminate sin.
Only by constantly hurting oneself can one be purified and receive His forgiveness, so everyone here strives throughout their life to become a sinless and clean person, and in this way to get closer to Him.
However, in this trend of repeated self-harm, the country gradually lost its population and combat power, and like a rusted antique abandoned by the times, it slowly sank into the sand sea of history. "
The three of them frowned at the same time, not quite understanding the meaning of poison.
Jiang Chi hesitated for a moment and asked again:
"They believe in [Decay], offer sacrifices to [Decay], and even transform themselves into Decay. This kind of piety will only grow stronger in the belief in [Decay]. How could they... lose their fighting power?"
“This is something I once wondered about, but I just found the answer not long ago.
Because of their dedication...
It didn't seem to impress the benefactor they worshipped.
[Decay] He... is probably a god without any mercy!
In other words, the perspectives of gods and mortals may be completely different. The piety in the eyes of mortals seems to be worthless in their eyes. He may have watched this country before, but he did not grant this country any [corrupt] power.
The Rosna people thought that their piety was not enough and they failed to impress the benefactor, so their offerings became more and more crazy...
In the end, this [corrupt] country became completely "corrupt", and they announced their withdrawal from the stage of history with the most grand tribute.
However, [腐衰] still declined to comment on this.
How, isn’t this tragic enough?”
Du Yao did not stop and was obviously walking towards the lower level. Cheng Shi looked at the other two and followed him in the strange atmosphere. They came to the first floor of the house and finally saw the owner of the house.
They were a pale and extremely thin middle-aged couple and their three children. However, at this time, the five of them had been knocked unconscious by Jiang Chi and thrown to the ground.
Duyao walked up to the couple, gently tore off their clothes and turned them over. The man was obviously stronger than his wife, with fuller flesh and more delicate skin.
In contrast, the hostess's shriveled body is only slightly better than skin and bones, but has no aesthetic appeal at all.
As for the three children, each one was thinner than the other, and their pale faces looked as if they were starving.
From this we can see that what Poison just said was indeed correct. Self-harm has already caused this empire to go off track. When hope for the future is dying, where is there hope for the future?
Of course, the purpose of Poison was not to let them see these things. She wanted everyone to see the sufferings endured by the Rosna people and the so-called purification.
Following her guidance, everyone saw that the couple's backs were covered with countless scars.
Piercing, slashing, beating, branding...
These scars were not overlapping or chaotic, but were arranged neatly and orderly. They did not look like the result of abuse, but rather like they were showing off some "medals of honor".
Poison sneered and said with some disdain:
“This is the result of the [decay] of faith. Those in power are unwilling to give up power, so they can only recast new faith to grab everything they want. But how can this form of self-destruction compare to embracing desire?
