Chapter 286 Balance in All Things (End of this Volume)

17 Queen Mary Street, Shade Carrying a suitcase with the doctor and walking up the stairs to the second floor, he suddenly laughed:

"Doctor, judging from what we just did, we look like standard bad guys."

"Good people and bad people are relative."

The doctor said, the two did not go to the first floor, but entered the corridor on the second floor and walked inward along the corridor.

"How to say?"

"No one is completely good and bad. A person can do good things and bad things, just keep the balance."

Said the doctor, and went with Shade to the innermost room. The door was kicked open, and the two came to the window, which was a safe alley.

“Balance. Speaking of which, I’ve always wondered if the name of our school, St. Balance, means something.”

Shade asked road.

He pushed open the window and stuck his head out to make sure that there was no one in the alley. People on the street were rushing to put out fires and collect money, so he took off his mask, then dropped his frog legs and jumped directly from the window on the second floor. into the alley.

He took off his gloves and shoe covers and stuffed them into his pockets. The middle-aged doctor followed suit and jumped down from the window on the second floor, explaining in a flat tone that he was in a good mood now:

"The school name of St. Byrons itself has the meaning of balance. Miracle is opposite to Blasphemy; Enlightenment is opposite to Whisper; the ring of life itself is a standard circle; the ring warlock itself, there is another behind it I. St. Byrons believes that the fundamental of the ring warlock system lies in balance. Only by maintaining balance can we continue to advance without losing control."

He stomped and felt numb from the landing. With his right foot, after sorting clothes with Shade, he walked to the alley with a suitcase.

The middle-aged doctor's tone was leisurely:

"Shade, the more you live in this city, the more you can understand the value of balance. This world does not need extremes, there is light and darkness , where there is good, there is evil. Even civilization and the country itself need stability and balance, not extreme good or extreme evil."

They came to the alley, the whole street Everyone seemed to be screaming. Black smoke billowed from the third floor of the single-family apartment, and the flames from the window dyed half of the sky red.

The two of them looked up together and looked towards the flaming window, the flames were quickly rushing from the third floor to the second floor, but no one cared about them walking out of the alley with suitcases.

Shade thought about the short time he had experienced in this world, and the story he had experienced from the first ring to the second ring:
"We kill and set fire, but we also protect the weak. , but we always remember to be in awe."

"That's pretty much what it means."

Doctor nodded, and Shade turned around to leave.

The wind blew across the street, making the burning fire even more violent. More and more people ran past them, and this strong wind also caused the scarlet poisonous droplets remaining on the window sill on the third floor to drip from the window.

It fell in the wind and tilted because of the wind.

“en?”

Shade felt something fell on his head, and when he touched it, he realized it was just water.

Passing by the running people, walking through the shouting, screaming, or just watching the crowd, with their backs to the burning buildings, and walking down the street into the distance.

"Even the night before yesterday, wasn't the gods and gods in balance? The main priesthoods of the gods are in balance with each other. When Evil God comes to this world, there must be a good force to stop it. Maybe it is Mortals, maybe other gods, but it's all about balance."

Shade paused and asked the doctor:

"So, you mean, the truth of the world Is it balance?"

"Inaccurate, it should be said that balance does not have to be pursued, everything in this world is balance."

The doctor said with a smile.

"Don't have to pursue?"

Shade frowned slightly:

"I don't understand."

"You're too young, Too young."

The doctor sighed, shaking his head at Shade:

"You still have a long life to experience what I say. In vain to find out what is What is good, what is bad, what is light, what is darkness, is a waste of our own life."

"Then how should we manage our balance?"

Shade Ask Dao, middle-aged doctor laughed:
"I have experience with this, and I often say this to my patients: every night before going to bed, review what you have done in the day, if after reviewing, you can relax and sleep , then you have the balance."

The young outlander nodded.

There was another violent explosion from the deflagration of wood behind them. Beside the two people walking along the street, people came to help with water basins and buckets, or looked terrified. Running away at a brisk pace, only the two of them proceeded at a normal pace.

Flame burst from the window of the three-story building, black smoke and firelight, dyeing the sky in Tobesque red. On the street below the building, people clutching banknotes were talking about what happened just now, women with disheveled clothes were crying loudly, and people who came with water basins were nervous about whether they should enter the house.

The fire reddened every face.

With his back to the burning building, the advancing doctor raised his hand to press his hat, and the fire lit up his back. Shade turned to look at the burning building, the fire reflected in his eyes:

[Sixth Age, Universal Calendar 1853, Summer, Moon of Thunder. The firelight reddened your face, and under the midsummer sky, you saw everything you did. You have offered your eyes to the golden scales, and you have judged the gods who held a blood feast under the moon. The chosen one is your partner, and the girl who bears everything stands by your side. The golden balance is balanced by your weights, and in your eyes, you see the entire world. Outlander, do you, who have mastered the balance, yearn for the current story? Outlander, are you looking forward to a vast epic? ]

The doctor raised his feet and walked forward, holding his hat down with his head down, a smile on his face hidden under the hat.

Squads of police officers with sirens stopped in the streets, shouting to maintain order, with anxious faces on their faces.

People on the street stood in the firelight, the greedy people bowed their heads to pick up the banknotes, the helpless people looked up towards the building, and the brave people waved their arms to indicate safety.

The city hall carriage, carrying water, is rushing from the far block, and farther and farther, more and more people are gathering.

Black smoke burst out from the window on the third floor, jumping out of the swarming flames, leaving traces of winding upwards under the gloomy sky, until higher and higher.

Shade raised his left foot, carried the suitcase in his right hand, turned his head and looked towards his back.

The flames flickered in his eyes, the silhouette swayed around him, the roaring noise entered his ears, and the burning stench poured into his nostrils.

There was a muffled boom overhead, the rising heat entered the clouds, the water vapor condensed, and the lightning made a muffled sound in the clouds.

City on fire, it's going to rain.

Tobesque on Saturday, densely packed people are moving like little ants in this steamy city. Outlanders, ring warlocks, gods, cultists, fires. All of this did not affect the stability and balance of the city.

After so many things, this world, this city, is the same as the day he arrived. Here, is still the pearl of the north, the foggy city of Tobesque.

Shade stood under the vast sky, in the huge steam city, listening to the soft laughter of the woman in his ear, and suddenly felt that he understood something.

With his back to the smoking building and the crowd of people, he followed the doctor and merged into the bustling crowd.

"So, balance lies in all things?"

In his pocket, the [Founding·Balance] Rhodes card emits a faint light. A huge dark golden scale flashed behind Shade, but no one saw this scene.

[Outlander, you have gained new power. ]
