Volume 19 Chapter 143 Ideological Education

After hearing Ling's question, Linglong immediately answered, because she had already talked about a lot of things before, and now her conversation with us has become much more natural.

"Actually, I helped that guy fight you just because of a deal."

"Trade?" I asked in surprise: "You might have exchanged freedom by helping him fight?"

Linglong looked at me in surprise and nodded, "Yes, this is how we trade."

"No, right? Are you really doing it?" Xiaochun said deliberately pretending to be surprised, and then she looked at me again and said in a joking manner: "Hey, master, let's make a deal in the future, right? You have to take me to the street for a war, otherwise I will go on strike."

After Xiaochun finished speaking, Ling immediately asked, "Linglong, you said you were doing a deal with your ex-master, so how did you trade specifically? As his magic pet, why did he do the transaction with him?"

"He wanted to stop doing it." Linglong said proudly: "But he is not my opponent. If he doesn't agree, I will make trouble with him all day long. When he goes to level up, I will pull the boss from afar to cause trouble for him. When he is in the city, I will cause trouble everywhere, attack city guards on the streets, burn people's shops, smash sculptures in the temple, and beat clerks. Every time I finish it, he will be miserable by those city guards."

When Linglong said this, even I was shocked and sweated. Now I began to regret finding such a demon pet. How could this be taken back by a demon pet? Is this obviously a Bodhisattva who invited her to come back? Fortunately, I didn't leave her alone before, otherwise if she went out to cause trouble for me everywhere, I would have to be annoyed to death.

"What kind of agreement did you sign with that former master in the end?" I asked curiously.

Linglong tilted her head and looked at me before saying, "I promised him to help him fight two hundred times. Whether I need to participate in the battle is up to him. And only count the number of games I won. If I lose this battle, it doesn't count. As long as I complete two hundred times of victory, he must lift the contract of magic pets and give me freedom."

"Then how many times have you done so far?"

“One hundred and seventy-four times.”

After listening to Linglong talk about this number, I finally understood why she was so angry when I was caught by me. According to this number, if it weren't for us, she would have to complete twenty-six battles and be free. She won more than one hundred battles, and she would have been free only to be free. At such a critical moment, because of our appearance, her efforts were completely shattered, and I would have been furious.

"Do you know what you have done now?" Linglong looked at me angrily and asked.

I stretched out a finger without blushing and said, "First, the battle is ruthless. When you promised to help the guy before, you should think that you might be injured, died, or even permanently sealed in the battle, and being captured is just one of the situations. If you agree with the guy's request, you should be prepared to accept these punishments. It makes no sense to blame me."

After saying the first line, I stretched out another finger and said, "Second, don't say that you are still twenty-six battles before you become a free body, so what if you have been a free body before? Ask Ling and Xiaochun, who did not become my demon pet with a free body? If you look at this from a different perspective, you should even thank me for reducing you twenty-six meaningless battles. Because even if you complete those battles, you may still be caught and become a demon pet. That person may be me, or anyone else."

After seeing me finishing speaking, Linglong immediately stretched out her third finger and said quickly: "Okay, okay, I know you can find ten thousand reasons, but this cannot change my perception of you. Without freedom, I would rather die."

"Hahahaha..." Ling and Xiaochun, who were present, laughed together with me.

Linglong looked disapproving at first, but soon she felt so angry that we were laughing. "Why are you laughing at?"

"Laughing you." I said, "Do you understand what freedom is? Or let's be simple, tell me what you think freedom is?"

Linglong wanted to argue with me at first, but soon she calmed down again. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Freedom is a life as she wants. I can go wherever I want. I can rest whenever I want, fight whenever I want, and do whatever I want. Don't listen to other people's orders and don't have to do what I don't want to do. This is my freedom."

"Okay, we think this is the freedom you want. Then I ask you, what does it mean to go wherever you want? Do you want to go to the lava pool? Do you want to go to the hell of killing? Do you want to go to the Temple of the Underworld?"

"Of course I don't want to die."

I smiled and said, "That's the problem. If I make a cage to put you in, and then let my demons guard the cage, and as soon as you come out, they will kill you immediately, then do you think that as long as you don't get out of the cage, you will be free?"

“How can I call freedom when I’m stuck in a cage?”

"But there is my sphere of influence outside the cage, so you will die if you come out?"

"I...the cage is too narrow no matter what I say."

"Oh, it turns out that the cage is relatively small. That means it's enough to be bigger, right? If I assign a forest to you and tell you that we will kill you as soon as you leave the forest, do you think staying in the forest is freedom? Or do you think the forest is not big enough, and I'll assign a country to you or a continent to be your imprisonment area. Do you think that is freedom?"

"I..." Linglong wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt something was wrong, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she got stuck there. After a long time, she suddenly shouted loudly: "Anyway, the cage just doesn't work."

"We are chatting, do you need to get so angry?" I first said Linglong, and then said, "What you called freedom before is actually a cage. Its range of activities is only an area where your ability can enter. You cannot get close to places like the Temple of the Temple of the Underworld I mentioned before. So, what you lived in before was just a world, but actually removed a small area in many of them. Compared with the cage I built for you, this is just a larger cage. So, what you want is not running.

Get out of the cage, but just a cage that you think is big enough. It’s not that you can’t really get to those places outside the cage, but because your strength is absolutely unsafe for you to get there. If your strength increases, the cage will also increase. If you are an independent individual, then your cage actually needs to include most of the human activity areas. Therefore, if you become my magic pet, you actually get a larger cage without being trapped, because our strength will allow you to reach many areas that you didn’t dare to enter at all.”

Linglong was pondered by me, and finally nodded helplessly to admit this, but she did not give up her resistance. Instead, she said again: "Although you explained the problem of my activity area, you cannot solve the most fundamental problem, that is, even if I am locked in a small cage, I don't need to accept anyone's orders, but becoming your demon pet needs to do things for you and wait for your orders. This is not the freedom I want."

"I think orders are an intention imposed on you by others, and you must execute them according to the other party's intention. Can you accept the orders if I understand them like this?"

Linglong thought for a while and said, "That's what it means."

Linglong just nodded here, and I immediately said, "Okay, since you admit that this is the meaning of the command, do you think your so-called freedom is not working under the trend of the command? When you live in an environment, you will be ordered by the laws of nature, forcing you to feed, fight, guard your territory, and grab food from enemies you didn't want to fight. These are things you are forced to obey. Also, are you planning to live alone in a place without people? It is certainly impossible.

You are a mutant succubus, but you are a group creature after all. It’s okay to be alone for a short time. Can you bear it after a long time? Of course, you can make friends, but can you say you don’t help if your friends need it? Although your friends will not directly order you to do things for them, the final result is that you have to do something because you see that your friends are in trouble. This is not what you want to do, but you have to do it. This is a hidden command, which is more tactful, but you need to execute it in the end."

“That’s different.”

"No, that's the same. In fact, there are no truly free people in this world, or everyone is actually free. Freedom itself is a very illusory concept. When your heart is free, then you are free. Even if you are in an iron cage and are enslaved by others, you are still free. When your heart feels bound by yourself, freedom will no longer exist. Even if you stand at the forefront of the world and take over the world, you are still bound by the rules you set. This is also the reason why many top-level existences of the gods feel that they are not free, because their status requires too many rules to maintain, so the end result is that they tie themselves to death."

"What you said seems to make some sense, but I will not listen to your excuses. I believe in this."

Hearing this, I could only shrugged helplessly. But I was just a scoundrel. I had no tricks for Linglong. The only hope was that Ling and Xiaochun could play tricks. If they could win her in one fell swoop, it would have added a huge help to me. Of course, what I was talking about was not with Linglong Ooxx. Even if she was willing, I wouldn't dare. Although Rose looked very open to me, it was also based on my own consciousness. Besides, everyone was not unclear about my devil pets. Once they opened up here, I don't know other devil pets. Ling would definitely not be able to escape. Even if she was strong, she would have to push me back. In order to avoid falling into a woman's war in the future, it would be best to hold back in this regard. It's nothing for men to be lustful, but they must be able to control their lower body. It's good to eat. The troubles afterwards will definitely let you know what it means to be dire.

After I stopped talking, Ling and Xiaochun immediately started to take over the chat work in order to avoid embarrassment. I have always said that there are many magic pets, and even this kind of ideological work can be divided and cooperated. Ling and Xiaochun's thoughts are completely two extremes, but this extreme environment makes it easier for people to see the root of things clearly. I believe that even if Linglong doesn't interrupt, he can understand a lot when listening to the two of them quarrels.

Just chatting and flying, we soon arrived at the sphere of influence of Tianyu City. We flew directly into the city from the air, and without saying hello to others, I wanted to return directly from the transnational teleportation array, but before I could reach the teleportation array, I was stopped there.

"President, president."

When I heard the screams below, I looked down and found that there were several people waving at me desperately, and a guy was running to the griffin far away, as if he was going to fly up and chase me. Seeing that they seemed to have something urgent, I didn't wait for them to come up, but pointed directly below and took Ling and the others and fell down.

"What's the matter for me?" I asked when I saw a few people running towards me.

A player from the guild opposite ran to me and stood there, he looked at Linglong in confusion, and then said, "That's right, just now, the headquarters of the Dark Temple sent a messenger to say that he had something to come to you. We were about to notify the God of War to contact you, but you didn't expect you to fly over."

"Where is that messenger?"

“On there.”

"Come with me and take a look." I greeted Linglong and walked towards the envoy.

The one whom Ditans sent this time was obviously a high-level undead. From a distance, I could feel the breath of death that was so strong that it could not be melted.

"I've seen the Great Lord of Purple Sun." Seeing me coming with a group of people, the undead whose general's whole body was covered in his black robe immediately put his hands together in front of him, and then bowed thirty degrees forward.

Seeing that the other party actually used such a formal understanding, I had to reply to the etiquette of the lord to meet the subjects. Speaking of which in Zero, the one that values ​​etiquette and system the most is not China, which is known as a country of etiquette, and of course it is not the Temple of Light that calls order every day. In fact, the one that pays attention to order the most in Zero should actually be the soul of the dead. The system of these guys is simply perfected to the point of being outrageous. If it weren't for the Ling who had also been a goddess in the Temple of Darkness, these complicated etiquettes would have made me faint.

After seeing me reply, the other party immediately said, "Dear Lord, Lord Ditans, Lord God, I hope you can go to the Dark Lord Temple as soon as possible. There is a very large business that I hope you can take over."

"Business?" I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know what business it is? I don't have much time now!"

The messenger opposite heard my words and immediately asked, "Can I let me speak closer?"

I hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. Anyway, Ditans was unlikely to find someone to assassinate me, and it was not so easy for me to fall off. I leaned forward slightly, and the messenger immediately walked up to me and put his mouth on my ear and said in a low voice. My eyes instantly glared, the boss turned around and grabbed the other person's wrist and asked, "What are you saying true?"

"That's what the Lord Ditans said. I'm just a messenger. What I can guarantee is that what I tell you is what Lord Ditans told me in person. As for how the Lord Ditans thinks, I can't guarantee it."

When I heard his words, I let him go, then pulled out the crystal communicator and shouted, "God of War, I'll go see Ditans, I won't go back there. Oh, by the way, I have something suspected to be a book of the world here. I'll send it back later. You ask them to give me time to study it."

“Is that all?”

"That's all." I took back the communicator by Cheduan Communication and I immediately said to Ling, Xiaochun and Linglong: "Let's go to the Dark Temple to take a walk."

Ling smiled and said, "It's really a long time since I returned to the Dark Temple!"

Xiaochun sneered disdainfully: "I don't like that kind of stinky place!"

What surprised me was that Linglong actually spoke, "Can we really enter the Dark Temple? It's a first-level restricted area!"

"Yes to you, but not to me." I said, and said to the messenger: "Let's go now? Don't let Ditans wait in a hurry."

The messenger was obviously prepared. He actually took a scroll directly from his body and said, "The Lord God knows that you must be very anxious to rush over after hearing that sentence, so he asked me to prepare this."

When I took the scroll, I found that this thing was actually a fixed-point teleportation scroll. Its function was to teleport all people around it to the hall of the Dark Temple at the moment the scroll was activated. With this thing, we saved time on the road and tear off the scroll directly. After a few seconds, we appeared in the hall of the Dark Temple.

"Huh? Did you just renovate here?" As soon as the teleportation ended, I discovered the difference between the Dark Temple. This place had a huge change from the last time I came here. The hall, which was originally as big as four basketball courts, was expanded into a giant hall comparable to the *** square. What's more strange is that such a large house does not even have a pillar. It is estimated that not only space magic is used, but also structurally strengthened magic. Otherwise, such a large house would not be able to use external forces, and the ceiling with a super-span alone would collapse because of Zhongli.
