Players’ NPC daddy

"That's right." The Black Beast Knight's expression was grim.

Humans are not monsters, so they cannot gain levels. Human life span is short, and there is no way to gain more knowledge in a lifetime.

Humans have never been a chosen race. They spend their entire lives training in javelin throwing, and the best javelin throwing skills they have mastered are only [Javelin D]. Races with levels can easily surpass others by simply upgrading and training.

There are countless people in history who were willing to transform into monsters in order to gain levels.

The people of the Golden Country are all souls, and are no longer human, so they naturally have ranks. And no matter how hard the Black Beast Knights with human bodies try, or how talented they are, they can never compare to the people of the Golden Country.

Having no rank, no power, wanting these, wanting to integrate into the Golden Kingdom became the inner demon of the Black Beast Knight.

"I have been blessed in this trial."

Blessing, what an attractive word! It is the only way for humans, a race abandoned by God, to gain power. It also has the ability to resurrect people countless times after death.

But in the atmosphere of the Golden Kingdom, blessings are not good things.

The blessed ones can crush the soul flames of other lives and turn them into nourishment to strengthen themselves. More importantly, the blessed ones will only age and die naturally. There is no other way to completely destroy them.

Therefore, the blessed ones have no fear of death but despise life.

These are all evil to the Golden Kingdom.

Perhaps the Black Beast Knight would rather be devoured by his inner demons and turned into an evil spirit than be blessed and become a true alien in the Golden Kingdom.

The Black Beast Knight's voice was calm, so calm that no pain could be heard, as if everything was false.

"So you've accepted reality? Or have you found a way to make peace with yourself?"

Blaze shrugged and slowly walked towards the Black Beast Knight. If you want to defeat your inner demons, you have to fight no matter how much you say.

"Do you want me to help you? No, don't look at me like this. I am still very strict with myself. You have to stand up on your own."

despair--

Blaze paused and was almost face to face with the Black Beast Knight, still muttering to himself.

"But I won't give up on you easily. If you need my help, I will lend you a hand."

"This world is fake!"

"I know, so what?"

Chapter 819 Goodbye, Inner Demon

This inner world echoed with the roar of the Black Beast Knight.

"This world is fake!"

Blaze was not surprised by this. This was the path of inner demons, which would bring out the darkness within people. Everyone had inner demons, and Blaze did not think he was so transcendent.

On the surface, it seems that the Black Beast Knight is his inner demon, but he knows better than anyone that the Black Beast Knight only appeared through this opportunity, and the Black Beast Knight called out his true inner demon for him.

This world is fake

Blaze already knew that those 100 million wish cards were not read in vain.

And Blaze's answer was simple.

"so what?"

Blaze's question stunned the Black Beast Knight. The Black Beast Knight's expression twisted together and he growled as if with boundless hatred.

"Everything is fake! It's all made up. Those people created us and used us as a game to play with and props to have fun. Everything we suffered was written by them to make it more dramatic."

"We are just toys they made for foreigners. All the help they provided is fake!"

The Black Beast Knight roared hysterically, but Blaze's expression was extremely calm, even peaceful.

"You mean to say that you didn't resist the temptation and that the blessing you received was written by "they" as you said. It has nothing to do with your own will. You were forced."

Sometimes words can hurt more than fists, and the Black Beast Knight's expression twitched, and he clenched his fist and smashed it directly into Blaze's face.

Blaze raised his hand and easily grasped the Black Beast Knight's fist.

"This [truth] must be a relief for you. All your actions can be blamed on it, because your anger and your loss of sanity were all [arranged by someone]." Blaze pushed forward hard, and the Black Beast Knight staggered and sat on the ground.

He was very grateful to the Black Beast Knight. If it weren't for the Black Beast Knight, perhaps his inner demons would have been revealed in a more terrifying way, so he was really grateful to the Black Beast Knight.

In return, he will help the Black Beast Knight to get over his inner demons.

But in a rather rough way.

"Because everything is fake, everything is arranged, so I want to resist, I want to be a bad person, because I believe that [being a good person] is the identity that I was arranged to be."

"This is really great. The Destroyer Planet is about to fall, and I don't have to worry about it. I don't have to deal with Perfect Adam either. I can do whatever I want, because it must be arranged that I have to pay a high price to stop it."

"Oh right, why don't I go kill a few people? Those people were created anyway, and they might have been destined for a tragic fate. I just helped them get rid of it."

"Ah, I'm afraid these evil things I did were made up."

"That kind of life is so easy, I am free..."

Blaze laughed, without any sarcasm, just couldn't help laughing. He had actually been shaken by such a thing and even let it become a demon in his heart.

"This is temptation. You just didn't resist it and chose a more relaxed way of life."

"What do you know—" Black Beast Knight gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but Blaze punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.

"The truth of the world didn't destroy you! You're just using this as an excuse to destroy yourself!"

"I--"

"How long have you been wandering in the Beast Plains? Why don't you try to find a way back to the Golden Kingdom?" Blaze sighed softly, patted the Black Beast Knight on the shoulder, and walked straight towards the darkness of his inner world.

Doing the right thing is hard; the right thing is never easy.

There are countless excuses and reasons for you to avoid those difficulties.

This is normal, as it is the nature of life to seek benefits and avoid harm. However, what makes humans human is that they never succumb to difficulties and go with the flow, but instead overcome them.

"This world is fake and has nothing to do with me doing the right thing."

"You're just running away!" The Black Beast Knight roared at Blaze's back, as if questioning Blaze, and also as if questioning himself.

"Yeah, but that's not my demon anymore." Blaze paused, his face showing some soft trouble, he raised his fingers and scratched his cheek.

"Oh my, this is really exciting news. When I think about that old man Odin bragging about creating a world all the time, I feel embarrassed for him. I couldn't help laughing several times."

“Is that… just that?” The Black Beast Knight bit his lip.

"If I was really created by someone, I hope they could make me stronger and more manly. But~" Blaze wiped his nose with his index finger, rolled up his arms and made a strongman pose.

"I'll work it out on my own."

……

This is an old question: what would happen if NPCs knew that they were NPCs and that their world was fake?

I don’t know how many entertainment works have this as the core, and the result is often conflict or complete defeat of one side.

In "Godlock", NPCs that seem like real life will naturally cause such problems, and many players will secretly try it with malicious intent.

However, it turns out that because it is too close to real life, this kind of rhetoric is useless. NPCs often look at players with malicious intent with an expression like, "How pitiful! These strangers are going crazy and talking nonsense again."

Those people cannot see the NPC's collapse, because the NPCs really live in this world. They have their own lives and live them seriously.

Their rhetoric of "virtual world" is no less than telling those who are working hard to live in the real world that "this world is fake, everything you feel is fake, it is virtual, it is a brain in a jar". Such words will only be met with kind smiles.

The geniuses had worried about this before, because when they were making the film, they spent a lot of time reading and watching many works about the awakening of wit, and finally came to the conclusion that "be careful" and "if this really happens, you can have a clear conscience."

As a Nuwa-like character, Glasses created a large number of NPC appearances, but these are just references, just like giving a child a father and a mother.

Except for specific NPCs, they did not interfere too much, not to mention that even for specific NPCs, they only arranged [expected tasks].

It is normal for NPCs to change their personalities and deviate from their expectations during the process of accumulating data. They extend the timeline to maintain the autonomy of NPCs as much as possible.

If one day, NPCs come to question them, asking them why they have to suffer this, the geniuses can answer them quite seriously.

[We may have created your world and even arranged your destiny, but every choice you make is determined by your own consciousness.]

Chapter 820 Please give me another chance to organize my words

Oriel leaned on the golden giant sword and looked at the steps below with a calm expression.

This is the final test to become a knight of the Golden Kingdom, the road to succession.

This level is actually just a process. The older generation of Golden Kingdom Knights will not make things difficult for the younger generation. Being able to pass the Road of Courage has already proved your ability.

The path of inner demons is the most terrifying and difficult stage in the entire trial process, and it is also the real test.

Soul steel armor is not an armor that can only be worn by those with a righteous heart. It is just a power, a power that can reflect the inner heart of the wearer.

If one has a righteous heart, even if the armor changes into the appearance of a beast, it is still righteous. But if one's heart is twisted, no matter how noble and shining the armor is, it is still evil.

That's why the Golden Kingdom carefully selects the wearers. Unfortunately, even the people of the Golden Kingdom find it difficult to pass the second level of the inner demon road.

The so-called inner demon is not simply the darkness deep in one’s heart, but rather [temptation].

What people want most and what they want to do most is [temptation], which is almost the embodiment of the true self and desire of life.

The most difficult part of the inner demon path is that the person accepting the trial does not have to overcome the temptation, but to accept the temptation.

It is neither about being lured by temptation nor about making a hard ascetic cut, but about achieving a true balance and becoming a complete person inside.

To find the souls of the victims and protect the golden kingdom, the knight must have inner balance.

Oriel sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes. Memories of the past emerged uncontrollably like a kaleidoscope.

As a human being, Blaze was out of place in the Golden Kingdom. It was not because he was excluded, but because he was too weak.

The people of the Golden Country are pure souls and have levels, so it is easy for them to gain power. However, as a human being, Blaze cannot learn a skill as well as the people of the Golden Country even if he practices for his whole life.

But Blaze is a natural fighter, with a quick learning ability, and can be said to be gifted. He overcame all the harsh tests and became the youngest armor challenger. Blaze passed the test of the Road of Courage with difficulty, but miraculously.

Everyone applauded his courage and stature in fearlessly challenging the battle puppet as a mortal, but he was the only one who sneered at him.

In the eyes of others, he always finds fault with Blaze. Even though Blaze has always dreamed of becoming a member of the Golden Kingdom, he always wants to drive Blaze out of the Golden Kingdom.

He is overbearing and unreasonable, but he is doing it for Blaze's own good.

Even though it was disrespectful, he was very sure that the princess made a wrong choice by bringing Blaze to the Golden Kingdom, which harmed Blaze.

And Blaze, who walked out of the demon room, confirmed his thoughts.

What Blazer possessed was not so much fearlessness as the impulse to not fear death. People should fear death, because death is the end and the last chance for people to transform.

But Blaze only regarded death as a new beginning. He longed to become a member of the Golden Kingdom, and for this he would rather die quickly.

This kind of thinking is tantamount to constantly wanting to commit suicide.

Blazer does not despise life, but having grown up in the Golden Kingdom, he believes that life begins after death.

Oriel clenched his hands slightly while leaning on the golden giant sword. He opened his eyes with great effort, and every time he closed his eyes it seemed like the last time.

His eyes were a little blurry, and a flash of silver appeared in his vision.

"This... You came out quite quickly this time." O'Neill opened his eyes wide and stared at the blurry figure approaching.

His steps were extremely relaxed and even comfortable. The young man who was carrying an overweight bag finally threw down the burden and started his journey while eating the dry food in it.

"It seems that your decades of wandering outside were not in vain." O'Neill raised his voice, maintaining his usual provocative tone, pointing at Blaze's silver hair and teasing him.

"I can see the wrinkles on your face. Do you want me to give way to you?"

"You are old, aren't you? The person in front of you is a young man in his prime."

Blaze's voice was clear, and he walked slowly in front of O'Leary. Even though O'Leary's eyes were following him, they seemed to be a little absent-minded.

"what happened to you?"

"Stop trying to get close to me! You haven't passed the last level yet!" Oriel raised the golden giant sword and summoned his armor impatiently.

There was a smile on his lips.

Heavy golden armor appeared as if it had dropped from the sky, and was put on Oriel's body layer by layer. The strongest and most powerful knight of the Golden Kingdom appeared, and the eyes under the helmet became solid because of the armor.

"Why did you change your hair to silver?" O'Neill was stunned, looking at Blaze's face carefully, and then his voice became serious.

"You... aren't Blaze?"

At this moment, Blaze was in a dilemma as to whether to agree or not.

Because this scene is as if he is a very evil person who robbed the body of someone familiar to Oriel and has been disguised until now in order to obtain supreme power, and at the last moment, his true identity was exposed.
