Chapter 382 What is greed
"Leedsmat is clearly a dragon clan with both flame and earth attributes, but why isn't it called the 'Earth Fire Dragon' or the 'Lava Dragon'? Because its power core does not lie in its element attributes at all.
But it is 'greed'!"
The old man's voice became more and more strange, and he said quietly, "The dragon of greed takes greed as the core power. The power of lava is just the external tentacles and extension of its core greed power. Leedsmat uses the tentacles to implant the seeds of greed into the body of professions with similar elements in each element attribute. Once the seed takes root and sprouts, what is derived is the "horizontal force". The so-called "horizontal force" is essentially the power that is naturally displayed when a person wants something. He is domineering and domineering, why is he rampant, and why is he domineering, and is he domineering, in the final analysis, isn't it all for getting something that does not belong to him?
Everyone has greed and everyone has harsh power. Ordinary people have great greed and many harsh powers. They are often strong for a while, but they are difficult to end up having a good end. They either encounter accidents or are plagued by evil diseases, and they are almost inevitable to die.
Once professionals are too greedy and lose control of their strength..." The old man paused when he said this.
Andrew listened quietly, and then he whispered: "The professionals are over-greedy and out of control of their lateral force. Is it what the Earth Fire Magician, Flame Warrior, and the Earth Fire Professionals of the Magic Guild are like?"
The old man nodded: "Yes."
The sea breeze blows gently.
Andrew calmed down again, thought silently, and chewed carefully.
After the previous confrontation and battle with Earth Fire professions, all the questions about the people in the Magic Guild seemed to have explanations and make sense.
Why did the first saint Capela summon the dragon shadow with his power as if he wanted to swallow up all the people, things, even space and time around him?
Why are almost all earth fire professions with bad quality and mostly unstable mental state?
Including why compared with those who are warm fire professions, the physical health of earth fire professions is often not satisfactory, strong in strength, but not very good in quality of life?
It turns out that tracing the root cause is just for one reason.
Because greed is too strong?
only……
"Is there really such a great power? Greed..." Andrew thought for a while, then raised his eyes again, and looked at the old man, "Is greed really that great impact on people?"
"Yes, the impact is greater than you imagined, and it is much greater." The old man said, "If you don't talk about professionals, just ordinary people, do you think that the evil diseases that many people suffer from are entirely due to external infession? No. Human nature itself produces all kinds of evils, including greed at all times, and this evil that originates from within is actually the greatest harm. The evil diseases that many ordinary people suffer from long-term erosion by internal evil and 'rotted from the inside'. The power of professionals is far stronger than that of ordinary people. Once they are bewitched by the power of Leedsmat and are full of greed and completely out of control, the harm will be much greater than that of ordinary people."
Speaking of this, the old man suddenly asked: "Just now, when I talked about the 'fallen people' who were bewitched by Leedsmat, you seemed to be a little dissatisfied?"
Andrew hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I think the statement of 'degenerate' is not very good. Are those people also victims? If Leedsmat's greed is a disease, then those who are in your mouth are actually patients."
When he said this, Andrew couldn't help but think of the labor camp under the Wildfire Territory.
When the labor camp was established, the captured earth fire professions such as Cook, Celly, and Frey were imprisoned. On the one hand, because of the ideological education of "the original nature of human beings is good" received before traveling, they wanted to give those guys who would not die of sin. On the other hand, they were also because they were not cruel enough to do something like killing prisoners after the battle was over.
After leaving the Wildfire Corps, Andrew rarely remembered that his Wildfire Corps had a labor camp.
However, now, after hearing the saying "Earth Fire professions are all bewitched warm-fire professions" from the old man in front of him, Andrew considered a question very seriously for the first time: "Is the process of depravity reversible? Since the greedy dragon Leedsmat can turn the warm-fire profession into the earth-fire profession, will it do the opposite? At least there should be theoretical possibilities!"
The same sentence: The so-called fallen one is also considered a victim.
It's the enemy, but it can also be said to be the patient.
Since they are patients, shouldn’t they think about how to cure their illness?
"Don't think so." The old man shook his head.
At the same time, the pleasant female voice in the Water God's Seal also vaguely sounded, and said, "Don't have such an idea! This idea will kill you."
Then he heard the old man say, "You say that the fallen one is also a victim? Yes, but not completely. Because to a considerable extent, whether to fall is a choice. It is not that the warm-fire profession who planted the seeds of greed by Leedsmart will definitely fall 100%. Only those who are planted with seeds and who also choose to fall ' will fall ' will fall . In the final analysis, Leedsmart can only amplify a person's original greed and cannot produce greed that does not exist out of thin air. Therefore, those with firm will and good qualities, especially those with less greed, can actually resist Leedsmart's bewitching.
And the other way around…”
"On the other hand?" Andrew keenly noticed a subtle change in the old man's tone.
"On the other hand, people who are extremely greedy and become tempted by a little bit of temptation will have cases of depravity, even if they are not a warm-fire profession," the old man said, and then raised his hand and pointed at himself, "This case is me."
"What?" Andrew was shocked.
I heard the old man say, "I am not a warm-fire professional at all. As Li's guard and partner, I am a water-based warrior, not the target group of Leedsmats. But... I am still affected. And as far as I know, I am the only degenerate water-based professional."
Andrew frowned and disbelieved: "What you mean is that you are greedy, so big that even if you are not a fire-warming profession, you can be bewitched and then fall into depravity?"
"yes."
"I can't see it at all." Andrew still didn't believe it, "What is your greed? Since it is greed, greed, there is an object of greed, right? You can't control yourself, what is it that desperate to get?"
"It's Li." said the old man.
Andrew: "?"
I heard the old man say calmly: "I want to get Li, the people who get her, and the hearts that get her."
Andrew: "…"
The old man's tone was so calm that there was no turmoil, it seemed to be telling a trivial matter that was irrelevant.
But after carefully experiencing the meaning behind this calmness, Andrew gradually became a little creepy.
"So you mean, do you like Li? Do you like Lord Water God?"
"Yeah, I like it very much."
"But you said just now that Lord Water God and Lord Huo Shenxu are a couple..."
"Yes, I know, so I have always restrained my own emotions and suppressed my emotions. As a secret lover, I have done almost nothing that a secret lover can do: guarding the side of my secret lover, but never being noticed by the other party. But... maybe it's just that I hide it too well and suppress it too thoroughly. At the moment when I was planted by Leedsmart, I realized: I like Li more than I imagined and want Li."
Everything in the small world is still so peaceful.
But Andrew gradually felt a strong feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
The old man had previously told the story of Leedsmat slaughtering two major ethnic groups, Dragon and Titan overnight. Although it was cruel and bloody, it was a long time apart and it was not seen with your own eyes, so there was no such intuitive psychological impact.
When it comes to "degenerate", there is no specific situation and data on how many warm fire professions have fallen into earth fire professions.
In short, Andrew was still in a state of "listening to the story" until just now.
It's different now.
His body tensed unconsciously at some point, and Andrew stared at the old man: "What did you do? After being bewitched by Nalizematt, what did you... do?"
The old man also looked over and looked at Andrew's eyes.
He still looked so calm, and the wrinkles on his face didn't even shake at all.
He looked into Andrew's eyes calmly and said calmly: "I found a chance that Li and Xu were not together, and went to see Xu alone, pretending to report the latest situation and situation to him, but in fact, I went to kill him. If I kill him, I will get Li."
Andrew felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and his voice was hoarse, asking, "What is the result of the assassination?"
"Xu is dead." said the old man, "He is stronger than me, and much stronger. Even after I fell, my own strength was greatly enhanced with the explosion of greed, and in a deformed way, Xu's strength was still beyond my reach.
Xu at that time, even if he did not use the combination technique of "water and fire" with Li, he would almost touch the mysterious realm of the magic, which was above the magical realm.
But he died and was killed by me. He could not even make a decent resistance. Because he did not even have a slight warning to me, he turned his back to my eyes in front of me.
The moment Xu died, I understood one thing, that is: I like Li, but definitely not love. Because all I was thinking about was: I finally could possess Li. There was no guilt, no regret, only ecstasy, and greed.
I clearly remember that moment, I even had a physiological reaction, thinking of Li in my mind when I looked at Xu's body."
The old man told the story in the calmest tone, telling the most terrifying story Andrew had ever heard, "Do you understand now? How terrible can human greed be. And why I said I am the culprit who has become what the world of flames is today."
