The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1268

[Chapter 288 Unrelenting, for Hope]

Shortly after Gryznoha’s departure.

It snowed in the sky.

As Melvin’s territory was directly dissolved by Annan… The small barrier protecting this deep mountain has also been disintegrated.

If it was in the past, it meant that the land lost its protection.

The mountains levelled by Annan will eventually be frozen and covered by this cursed snow.

The wild animals that originally lived here will also be frozen to death and reincarnated as frost beasts.

But now, since the old grandmother has woken up…

the small barriers for thermal insulation built in various residences have finally lost their meaning at this moment.

Annan picked up the “Hand of Hope” on the ground.

It has lost its radiant brilliance.

The golden hand, which had a dazzling iridescent ring before, was now like a rusted, dull brass arm.

It didn’t look like a holy skeleton at all, but rather like some worn-out metal glove picked up from a rubbish heap.

After leaving Gryznoha, the Hand of Hope has completely lost the warmth it had.

Even the snowflake didn’t melt when it fell on it.

Just as Annan watched the falling snowflakes.

The old grandmother’s voice also sounded behind Annan: “Grynznuha actually knew for a long time that he was defeated.”

“I just don’t want to admit it, right.”

Annan said, looking back at the old grandmother, softly Said: “Because he is not reconciled.”

“I am not reconciled…what can I do.” The

old grandmother sighed softly: “But fortunately, he finally calmed down.”

“…Is this calm?”

“For him, it’s calm. After all, he was also a former savior. He also had a passion for blood and the care

of the gods… It’s not just the [Hand of Hope] that he can have an influence on you.”

The grandmother’s eyes turned to the golden hand in Annan’s hands: “So I’m here all the time.

“I’m worried that

he will lose his mind completely.

”

It sounds like protecting Annan.

But Annan just smiled: “You are protecting him.”

”

“That’s it.

“The

old grandmother nodded slowly: “He is my child after all.

He doesn’t know, but I do know… The Righteous Heart is the King of Sacred Bones.

With a righteous heart, even the gods can punish you—not to mention Grynznuha, who lacked talent since childhood.

”

“You know he lacks talent, why did you lead him on this path?”

Annan asked rudely: ”

Saving the world… Such a heavy burden, if there is no hope, it will drive a person crazy.”

”

“That’s why we chose him.

“The

old grandmother replied: “Grynznuha is not the smartest, not the most powerful…he is far from being ‘good’.”

Even in the winters of all dynasties, he could only be ranked in the upper-middle level.

“But that plan, it’s not about going head-to-head with the worms… If we can’t get a new crane, then the worms are completely invincible. Because only the crane can kill the worms

. Looking for the ‘best hero’, the one who has the least attachment to this world, but has the most hope… a mortal with ambition and perseverance.

“What we want is an escapeist who will never look back even if the world is destroyed; what we want is an unintentional person who can cut off all old ties and has no nostalgia for the old world; what we want is A selfish person who has no love for this world and will never rebuild old world civilization from another world.

“It’s not that heroes have fallen into villains. It’s that we have been looking for such villains from the very beginning-because not in all cases, heroes can represent the most hope.” The

old grandmother whispered: “Some At times, people will not hope for the arrival of heroes. Because heroes will make them ignite unnecessary expectations…In the end, they will be more disappointed.

“If there was never hope – if he never believed in hope, he would not be so tired of darkness. .

”

“That’s because the hero is not strong enough.

Annan replied without hesitation: ”

That’s because the power is not united enough; it’s because the world is not good enough, and there is still room for optimization.

The corner of the

old grandmother’s mouth rose slightly.

She smiled lightly and reached out to hug Annan.

Keeping the child sitting on her arm, she supported Annan’s body with one hand so that he could hug her neck. The other With one hand, he gently stroked Annan’s long hair.

“That’s also very difficult, Annan.

“The

old grandmother narrated softly: “From ancient times to the present, there are far more imperfect things in this world than perfect things… and these regrets and tragedies are all because of human beings.

“What Gryznoha said, ‘lack of talent’. That’s what it is.

“Only the heroes of fairy tales are always invincible – always invincible.

Because every time the hero defeats an enemy, he will come to a new world…he will encounter new, stronger and more difficult to defeat enemies.

“One day, heroes will stop because of failure. Fairy tales may not always be false, it may just end earlier.” The

old grandmother held Annan like a grandmother holding a grandson.

She patted Annan’s back and said softly: “It seems that in a certain story, the heroic knight saved the princess, but no one mentioned who the princess married afterwards; and in the story of the hero defeating the devil, there is no Telling what the hero did and what he faced after returning to China.

“If we continue to extend the fairy tale back, we can only get tragedy.

The name of that tragedy is ‘life’.

“Can you really be a hero who never fails? You can hear anyone calling you, and you can face and solve all injustice in the world…but what is fair to some is still unfair to others.

“You To be the arbiter, Annan?

Are you ready to overwrite the world with your ‘fairness’?

”

“No.

In the

face of the grandmother’s question, Annan shook his head: “If I say ‘I will never fail’, it must be the frivolous words of a young man who has never seen failure.

“Alfonso and his successors have taught me this principle. True courage lies not in being fearless… but in being able to face one’s own fears.”

He said, looking at the light in his hands Golden prosthetic hand.

Annan’s voice gradually softened: “I think, [hope] is probably the same thing.

“It’s not about never failing, always winning, but always being able to get back up—and get up again after a defeat.

”

There is no doubt.

“Perseverance is for hope.”

“—That is the heart of Sisyphus.”

Annan gave his answer softly.

The next moment, the hand of hope shines again in Annan’s hand –

“Very good.” The

old grandmother nodded with satisfaction.

She put Annan down, glanced at the surrounding wasteland, and said, “Remember to clean this place before going back. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com”

“Cleaning?

” The earth will grow plants again.” The

old grandmother ordered in a tone of urging the child to do housework: “Don’t you think it’s ugly to be bare like this? And there is no solidification of plants, which is a kind of damage to this land… Now you It may not be visible, but after enough time, it may become sandy.

“This is common sense when you are in the dye position: when your battles rewrite the surrounding landscape, you should find a way to make it. Change it back, or at least fix it.

Because this world is our common possession, and naturally we also have a share that belongs to you.

“It’s like don’t make your home too messy…and don’t let other people take care of you. It’s not decent enough. When you get it sorted, I’ll go back and put the hand of hope on you myself.

” Then, wait After you announce the beginning of spring in public – I will end the winter of winter.
