Chapter 1645 Suffering and Beasts
Sitting by the fire, looking at the woman directly opposite, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something.
In Rhodes' memory, he seemed to have seen that woman, but he couldn't remember where he saw her, but he only had some impressions in his heart.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the woman didn't respond, Rhode asked, "Who are you?"
The woman didn't answer Rhodes' words, but just glanced at Rhodes lightly.
From the darkness behind her, she took a handful of dry twigs and placed them in the fire in front of her. For a while, the flames in the fire burned more vigorously.
After finishing all this, she smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Rhodes and said, "Tell me, your view on suffering."
Her voice was deep, not like the effect of deliberately lowering her voice, but her voice was just like that.
"Suffering? What are you referring to?" Rhodes looked at her suspiciously, not understanding the meaning of her question.
In this unfamiliar environment, Rhodes didn't know how his answer would affect the follow-up. The best choice was to ask the woman in front of him first, and then answer by himself based on her answer.
"What people suffer, makes them feel painful." She explained slowly, "Maybe it is physical suffering, death, disease, disability, or it may be spiritual, madness, pain, love."
"Love?" Rhode seemed to have noticed something, frowned slightly, looked at her and asked, "Is love also a kind of suffering?"
"Of course." She nodded, "When all creatures are just born, their hearts are peaceful and happy, without fear, without desire, and extremely pure. Have you ever observed the eyes of any newborn creature? There is nothing in it. Impurities."
Rhodes was silent, listening to the woman's narration with a calm expression.
"However, with the contact with the outside world, the original happiness and peace of the newborn is destroyed, fear and desire arise, and distracting thoughts appear in the innocent heart, which makes people lose eternal happiness. This is the existence of suffering. Since After we are born, everything we experience, even the love that makes people happy for a short time, is suffering."
Then, she paused, staring carefully at Rhodes: "This is my understanding of suffering, I want to hear from you."
Rhodes thought for a moment and replied: "I think suffering can give people strength and make people heroes."
"Hero? Is this your understanding of suffering?" She seemed a little disappointed,
He glanced at Rhodes dissatisfied.
Rhodes nodded: "If there is any meaning to suffering, it is to make people surpass suffering. There is no way for people to do this with their own strength. Only by becoming a hero can it be achieved."
She smiled slightly: "Although I don't agree with what you said, I agree with one of your words. The meaning of suffering is to make people transcend suffering and obtain eternal happiness."
Rhodes seemed to realize something: "Eternal happiness... that's not something that can be easily achieved. Even liches who seem to have obtained eternity will die when they meet stronger enemies. What kind of happiness, Can it last forever?"
"There is only one kind of existence that possesses such happiness. In the ancient legends of Erasia, that kind of existence is called a 'god'." She raised her voice, stood up from the fire, and the large robe immediately covered Her body enveloped, "We meet again, Rhodes."
Hearing what she said, Rhode's expression changed suddenly, and he subconsciously entered a state of vigilance.
In Rhodes' impression, after he came to Hell, he did not reveal his real name, and always called himself Ellott. However, the woman in front of him called out his real name in one breath. Listening to her words, She doesn't seem to be seeing herself for the first time.
After thinking of this, Rhodes seemed to realize something, and looked at the woman in surprise, knowing that there was only one person whose soul would go to hell.
"Messiga, is that you?" Rhodes asked with some doubts. Besides Messika, he couldn't think of who else the person in front of him could be.
Facing Rhode's question, she didn't answer directly, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was regarded as acquiescing to Rhode's words.
At this time, Rhodes also recalled where he had seen the face of this woman. In the temple of revelation not long ago, the statue belonging to the greedy king was clearly made in the image of the woman in front of him.
In the past, under the effect of the realm of the dead, Messika took on the appearance of an old woman, but in the trials in the depths of hell, Rhodes saw her true form, or what she once looked like .
The difference between these two looks is huge, and Rhodes was really not used to it for a while.
"I found the guidance you left behind." After pondering for a moment, Rhodes said slowly, "When you disappeared just now, I used treasures to investigate your situation and found that you were hanging on a lava lake. Now it seems that Your state should be better than I thought. You were able to find me during the trial, it seems that you are safe and sound."
However, Messika shook his head: "What you see now is just a small trick. My body is still on that lava lake, and I am being punished... The lava lake you see is the result of the trial. The lake of fire, and where I am, should be a place called the Gate of Infidelity."
Hearing Messika's words, Rhode's complexion changed. Prior to this, from Hela's narration, Rhodes already knew that among the ten gates leading to the Fire Seal City, the one that ranked first was the Gate of Infidelity. Unexpectedly, Messijia was locked there.
"Why are you locked up there? What did you do?" Rhodes asked with some doubts. He didn't understand what Messigah had done. As one of the kings, she would be punished like this .
"That was a long time ago." Messika didn't answer Rhodes' question directly, but just shook his head, "The arrogant king imprisoned me in the gate of treachery, as one of the sacrifices for the birth of the 'beast', If you can get me out, I might be able to help you a lot."
"Beast? What is that?" Rhodes asked as if he had discovered something.
"The ultimate creature." Messika said slowly, "All creatures that fail the test will become part of the beast."
Rhodes frowned. In his memory, there was no such ultimate creature in the game in his previous life. Maybe it was because the players at that time disrupted the progress of the game, or for some other reason. For everything in hell, Rhodes couldn't get any help from memory.
