Even if you are ultimately betrayed while trying to save someone, and die young?
Li Wei stared at Joan of Arc with a strange look in his eyes: "Have you ever thought that you should have been showered with glory, enjoyed the worship of the people, and lived a life of wealth and honor while you were alive?"
"You shouldn't have left so soon."
"You saved them, but they killed you."
"Your sacrifice has only earned you oral praise and written records, but you have not received the actual enjoyment you deserve."
"If you had not been exonerated, you would not only be a hero, but also a witch despised for all eternity."
"Are you really not going to regret it?"
"Faith is only divided into loyalty and disloyalty, not regret or remorse."
Jeanne replied firmly, "I believe in humanity. Although I don't deny that there is so much darkness and distortion in the world, I also believe, I believe in miracles!"
"Do you know, Joan of Arc?"
Li Wei said calmly, "The meaning behind a miracle."
"Behind the miracle?" Joan of Arc was stunned.
"Yes."
"So-called miracles... are things that only arise in times of despair."
Li Wei sighed deeply and said, "If there has never been despair, how can there be miracles?"
"It is a miracle that a patient who was critically ill and had no hope of survival came back to life; it is also a miracle that a patient who was clearly at odds with others turned the tide and won."
"Despair is never lacking, but miracles are few and far between?"
“Miracles only arise from despair. You believe in miracles... which means you believe that what we are facing now is despair?” Li Wei’s eyes suddenly met Joan of Arc’s.
“I, I…” Joan of Arc seemed a little flustered: “I’m not, I don’t know how to say it.”
What have you seen these past few days?
"Parents stroll hand in hand with their children, elderly people relax in the shade of a pavilion, children play and laugh, and couples chat and laugh in restaurants..."
"You think...that's all fake happiness? A desperate struggle?"
"Joan of Arc, I ask you... about the faith you always talk about—"
"What exactly is it!?"
PS:
Chapter 292 Isn't this about cultivating feelings?
"What is your belief?!"
After Li Wei said those words that night, Joan of Arc spent the entire night thinking about the problem.
That night, they found a family to stay at outside the city instead of sleeping on the grassland.
I didn't sleep all night.
Early in the morning, Joan of Arc walked out of her room listlessly and saw Li Wei and the old man who had let them stay overnight having breakfast.
"Hmm? You're so lazy, only getting up now, it's almost seven o'clock." Li Wei said disdainfully, "A bug like you who gets up so late only deserves to be eaten by birds."
"..."
Joan of Arc said irritably, "You're telling me it's late at seven o'clock? Besides, I didn't sleep at all last night."
"You're thinking about me so much you can't sleep?"
"Pooh!"
Joan of Arc stuck her tongue out at Li Wei, "It's all because of what you said last night."
"You still miss me, don't you?"
"certainly not."
“After hearing what you said last night, I’ve been thinking about my faith,” Joan of Arc said, sitting down as well.
"I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Jeanne said earnestly, “I think this is a question that every believer must think clearly about. Only by understanding faith itself can we truly believe in faith.”
"Huh?!" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Really? I just made that up!"
"what?!"
Joan of Arc stared wide-eyed at Li Wei: "What did you just say?"
"I just made that up," Li Wei said, shrugging. "Don't you think I looked pretty handsome last night?"
"That was true at first, but now all I want to do is beat you up!"
"Wow, how could you do this..."
"You two are so loving."
The old man next to him chuckled.
"That's not true!"
"OK OK."
Li Wei suddenly reached out and stroked Joan of Arc's head, startling her.
"Don't overthink it. Just do what you believe is right."
Even if it's wrong, if you want to do it, then go ahead and do it.
"This world is inherently simple; it's just that people often complicate things."
"Farmers need to eat, that's only natural. But some people are so bored that they think about why people need to eat, and even study things like whether the chicken or the egg came first. I want to say, what good will it do to know?"
"Of course, that's also a way of living, and all we need to do is live according to our own beliefs."
"And what is this belief? Does it matter whether it's right or wrong?"
Ultimately, everything is just something people create for themselves.
"Since you believe in miracles, then continue to believe. As for what miracles are, what they are about, and what lies behind them, that's something for those idle philosophers to study."
"Here comes another serious-sounding lie." Joan of Arc lowered her head, muttering to herself so Li Wei wouldn't see her expression.
"Huh? You found out?!" Li Wei exclaimed in shock.
……
"Thanks for the hospitality."
After breakfast, the two said goodbye to the old man and left the house, while the old man looked at them with a happy expression.
"You two will definitely be very happy in the future, you are a truly well-matched couple," the old man said, stroking his beard.
"……Thanks."
Joan of Arc was powerless to explain and didn't want to say anything more, so she chose to remain silent.
When the old man misunderstood their relationship, he tried his best to clear up the old man's misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, for some reason, the more they explained, the more the old lady felt that their relationship was better.
Joan of Arc felt very tired, but... for some reason, she had a strange feeling inside, a kind of small joy. However, this joy turned into inexplicable anger when she saw Li Wei's unchanging expression.
There's always this feeling that I'm an idiot.
Joan of Arc thought to herself.
After saying goodbye to the old man, the two wandered around in the wilderness outside the city, unsure of what to do next.
"How about we head to Tulifas?" Jeanne asked. That was originally her destination, as it was the stage for the Holy Grail War. If it weren't for the delay caused by Li Wei, Jeanne would have arrived in Tulifas long ago.
"Eh?"
Thinking of this, Joan of Arc suddenly froze.
Ultimately, what was it about meeting Li Wei that caused her to miss so many of her plans?
"Li Wei? What were we doing all this time?" Joan of Arc was a little confused.
"To cultivate feelings?" Li Wei replied.
"Pah, what are you saying? Be serious." Joan of Arc blushed.
“But I didn’t say anything wrong. Aren’t we strengthening our camaraderie?” Li Wei countered.
"Ah, I thought, I thought you meant that..."
"Um? What exactly are you trying to say?" Li Wei frowned slightly.
"No!" Joan of Arc suddenly raised her voice: "Nothing at all!"
"Oh, okay." Li Wei was a little confused.
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei added, "If you're not feeling well, just say so."
"correct."
"Remember to drink plenty of hot water."
"..."
"Li Wei, why do I really want you to get lost right now?"
"Huh? Li Wei, why did you suddenly appear so far away?!" Joan of Arc was full of questions.
"Huh? Didn't you tell me to get lost? They all say that when a woman is in a bad mood, it's easier to coax her if she's obedient." Li Wei shouted loudly, trying his best to make his voice reach Joan of Arc's ears.
"I...you...I..."
Joan of Arc was nearly driven mad with anger.
----------
"Hey, where do we go next?"
The blonde girl with a ponytail, Mordred, asked the question as she left the Lion's Den.
The two were currently inside a cave, burning firewood for light.
Meanwhile, Shi Zijie was carving something on a dead person's bones with a small knife.
"Let's go to Tulifas later."
After a while, Shiki Jieli finished fiddling with the things in his hands and said.
"Oh, so we're going to take the initiative now?"
Tulifas, that's the stronghold of the Yggdmillennia magicians.
"Truly worthy of being my master!"
“No, no, no,” Shiki Jie Li wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and continued, “You’re probably overthinking it. We’re not going to pick on everyone.”
"Huh? Master, don't be such a coward." Mordred patted Shiki-kai-ri on the shoulder and said.
"It's a message from Shiro's side. It seems there's something important they need to discuss with the people on the Black Side," said Shishi Jie Li, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep drag.
"what?"
"Are you kidding me? Talk to those Black Faction guys? What's there to talk about? Just chop them all up and take the Holy Grail."
"It's not us who are in charge; it's the priest. We're just there to provide support as a precaution."
With Li Wei's involvement, the plot has begun to unfold unpredictably...
PS:
PAS: Second update... Okay, goodnight everyone...
But staying up late is bad for your health. I'm still not asleep, so I might as well stay up all night.
