Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5379 (Five Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Nine) Good Deeds

"Of course!" the man said, "He is a person who can perform magic, and I... am just an ordinary person. I am much stronger."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you usually think that the strong will bully the weak?"

The man said, “Yes.”

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you think he bullied you?"

The man said, "He...didn't."

The Gray Hand asked, "You think he helped you?"

The man replied: "Yes...I was the one who found him."

"You go and find him, and he can choose to help or not, right?" asked the man with gray hands.

"Yes." said the man.

The Gray Hand said, "But he helped you. Isn't this different from what you think of as a relationship between people?"

The man said, "He is an alchemist... different."

"Why are alchemists different?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said: "Because... alchemists are subject to certain restrictions."

The Gray Hand said, "Do you think the alchemist would help you do something because he had to do so?"

The man said: "Well... I can't say I have to... but..."

The Gray Hand asked, "But what?"

"But... I don't know how to say it, I just feel that... alchemists and ordinary people... are still different." said the man.

"Do you think the alchemists would be nicer to others?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I don't know about it. I just heard... I heard people say that there are some things that alchemists cannot do casually. If they do, they will... pay a very serious price." said the man.

The Gray Hand asked, "You mean 'can't' do it?" The man said, "Yes, I heard that this kind of people... can't do some things, but... I would think about whether there are some things they are willing to help others do, which... is better for them."

The Gray Hand asked, "Is this your guess?"

The man said, "Yes, because... I just think that since there are some things they can't do and are restricted, then... there should be some things that are good for people like them. The reason why he did this is probably... because it would be good for them."

The Gray Hand asked, "Do you think he's helping you for his own good?"

The man said, "That should be the case... Although I couldn't tell at the time whether he was doing it for my own good or not, and he seemed very sincere, but... I think that might be the case."

The Gray Hand asked, "Do you think he is a good man?"

The man asked, "Good? What is good?"

The Gray Hand said, "What do you think?"

The man said: "I...I don't know either."

The Gray Hand said, "Have you never thought about this question?"

"It's not like I haven't thought about it." The man said, "After all, I have heard about good and evil from others, but... I don't think there is absolute good and evil."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Have you ever heard anyone say that other people are good people?"

"I've heard of it." said the man.

"Do you agree with that man?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing." The man said, "I just think that when a person... does so-called good deeds, he or she must have his or her own purpose."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "In your impression, there is no such thing as doing good deeds for the good of others?"

The man said, "Yes, but... that thing should be good for others while also good for him."
