Chapter 267: Chapter 152 Greedy World Wolf (Seeking Recommendation Votes)_4
‘Now, to feed it with a child…’
‘Hiss.’
‘Wait.’
Bailuo’s brows furrowed as he turned back to look at the Black Wolf crouching there, baring its teeth, obviously not seeing him as its master, still very agitated.
‘No way?’
Bailuo thought of a possibility, but he found it hard to imagine such a thing: “Please find a brave child to feed it once.”
“It is very hungry now.”
If Bailuo’s logic was not flawed, then there seemed to be only one meaning to these words.
It’s hungry and wants to eat a human.
“What?!”
Bailuo’s eyes widened incredulously as he gazed at the Black Wolf, he shook his head, “Can it be? Does such a thing really happen? Such a task, this is too…”
“Your Majesty? Is there a problem?”
Uncle saw Bailuo’s expression change several times in an instant, and he knew that the next task involving the miracle might be problematic.
“This task…”
Upon hearing Bailuo’s words, the senior apprentice sister’s beautiful eyebrows knit together, her already cold demeanor became a few degrees chillier: “It doesn’t seem logical.”
“If it is a Miracle Creature that requires a blood sacrifice, why not find an outsider? Why specifically look for someone who adores you?”
The senior apprentice sister said, “It’s just too bizarre.”
The task of the Black Wolf, by analogy, would be to ask you such two questions.
Question: Do you love your children?
Answer: Of course, I would give everything for them.
Question: Then would you let it devour your child?
What can you say to that?
Please, how should one respond to that?
Does anyone ask such questions, are they out of their mind?
“Could it be that I’ve misunderstood, or, after being eaten by it, a person doesn’t die but becomes better? Is it just a test?”
“Perhaps it’s not a test.”
Uncle smoked a cigarette, when pondering problems, he liked to think while smoking.
However, Uncle controlled the Magic Qi to dissipate the smoke so as not to offend Bailuo and his senior sister: “I guess the Miracle Creature’s faction might belong to the ‘Mad Fool’s Feast’.”
The Mad Fool’s Feast, one of the most dangerous among the twenty-eight miracle factions.
According to Uncle, a person who acquired the miracle of this faction was either mentally disturbed or had suffered a great blow and then underwent a massive personality change.
“Xiao Luo, you think there’s a problem with the logic because you’re a normal person,”
Uncle: “But what if you weren’t?”
“…”
Bailuo paused for a moment, beginning to understand what Uncle meant.
“Upon seeing this wolf, I am reminded of a story I heard long ago.”
Uncle said: “A long time ago, there was a wise King with a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter, and many loyal vassals who adored and were loved by him.”
But one day, due to the death of his wife and daughter, the King’s temperament drastically changed.
In a fit of anger, he let his beloved dog devour his highly cherished vassal.
Then, it seemed he fell in love with that feeling, allowing one after another of his concerned and loving subjects to become his beloved dog’s rations.
The King went mad, and this madness brought about the Awakening of a Miracle.
Indeed, it was his beloved dog that became a terrifying Miracle Creature.
“This story is similar to the Miracle you found today, Xiao Luo,”
“I am not clear about the true nature of this Miracle Creature, and they are definitely not the same,” Uncle said: “But their paths to Awakening might be, perhaps, similar.”
That is to say, this Black Wolf, and the beloved dog from the story, are very likely versions of the same kind of Miracle re-emerging in different eras.
If it really is that terrible monster, then the price for Awakening it would definitely be more than Bailuo could bear.
“Can a Miracle significantly change a person’s temperament?”
“Generally, it does not.”
Uncle said: “Most miracles do not come with a cost. In the story I mentioned earlier, Xiao Luo, do you think it was the King who created the miracle, or the miracle that changed the King?”
Clearly, a lunatic had found a miracle just as insane as himself.
Or, only a lunatic could Awaken such a miracle, while a normal person could never possibly obtain it.
Imagine that a way to Awaken a miracle is to kill your newborn child and then, while fully cognizant of what you are doing, to eat her with a sense of joy.
Could a human being do such a thing?
It’s utterly horrifying!
If someone could actually do that, they must be a murderer, a madman.
“Miracles come in all forms; good people can find theirs by doing good deeds, and bad people, too, can obtain them through evil acts.”
This was the nature of the rulers of Miracle Mainland; among them were those kind-hearted and merciful, and also those who committed heinous acts and lacked all humanity.
In the face of miracles, everyone is equal; there is no absolute favoritism.
And miracles themselves are morally neutral.
Any miracle will always encounter the owner who is suitable for it, who needs it.
“Then…”
Bailuo asked, “What should we do with it?”
Such a Miracle is too dangerous.
Not for Bailuo, but for his family and children. If he kept it and something were to happen, Bailuo feared he would regret it for a lifetime.
“What I’ve said may not all be right,”
Uncle was wise but also cautious: “I prefer to think I’ve worried too much.”
If because of his few words, Bailuo gave up on a Miracle that seemed within easy reach, that would seem more like slander, a temptation to the heart.
“So we should still give it a try, maybe we’re all wrong?”
Uncle didn’t generally guess without basis, but when he spoke out, his words often came true.
“Give it a try?”
“We must try,” Uncle said: “Brave children, our Yatun doesn’t lack for brave children.”
“But…”
“There’s Feiya, there’s you, and there’s Sherri, as well as Lilith.”
Uncle: “With the four of you watching, how could it dare to misbehave?”
