At 17 Queen Mary Avenue, Xia De and the doctor carried their suitcases along the stairs to the second floor, when he suddenly laughed:

"Doctor, judging from what we did just now, we look like standard bad guys."

"Good guys and bad guys are relative terms."

The doctor said that instead of going to the first floor, the two entered the corridor on the second floor and walked inward along the corridor.

"How to say?"

"No one is completely good and bad. A person can do good things and bad things. Just keep a good balance."

The doctor said, and went to the innermost room with Xia De. Kicking open the door, the two came to the window, outside was a safe alley.

"Balance...Speaking of which, I've always been curious whether the name of our school, St. Byrence, has any deep meaning."

Shad asked.

He opened the window and stuck his head out to make sure that there was no one in the alley. The people on the street were in a hurry to put out the fire and collect money, so he took off his mask, dropped the frog legs, and jumped directly from the window on the second floor into the alley.

He took off his gloves and shoe covers and stuffed them into his pockets. The middle-aged doctor followed suit and jumped out of the window on the second floor. He explained in a flat tone that he is in a good mood now:

"The school name of St. Byrence itself has the meaning of balance. Miracle is opposite to blasphemy; enlightenment is opposite to whisper; the ring of life itself is a standard circle; the ring warlock itself has another me behind it. St. Byrence I believe that the root of the Ring Warlock system lies in balance. Only by maintaining balance can we continue to advance without losing control."

He stomped his right foot that was numb from the landing, and after tidying each other's clothes with Xia De, he walked towards the alley with his suitcase.

The middle-aged doctor said in a leisurely tone:

"Xia De, the more you live in this city, the more you understand the value of balance. This world does not need extremes, where there is light there is darkness, where there is good there is evil. Even civilization and the country itself need stability and balance, not extreme good or extreme evil."

They came to the alley side by side, and the whole street seemed to be screaming. Black smoke billowed from the third floor of the single-family apartment, and the flames that burst out of the window dyed half of the sky red.

The two looked up at the burning window together. The flames were rapidly rushing from the third floor to the second floor, but no one cared about them who came out of the alley with suitcases.

Xia De thought of the short time he experienced in this world, and thought of the story he experienced from the first ring to the second ring:

"We kill and set fire, but we also protect the weak. We kill and get more, but we always remember to remain in awe."

"That's pretty much what it means."

The doctor nodded, and turned around with Xia De to leave.

The wind blew across the street, making the burning fire more violent. More and more people ran past them, and the gust of wind also caused the remaining blood-red poisonous liquid droplets on the window sill on the third floor to drip from the window.

It fell in the wind and tilted because of the strong wind.

"Um?"

Xia De felt something fell on his head, touched it, only to find that it was just water.

Passing by people running, through crowds of shouting, screaming, or just watching, with their backs to burning buildings, down the street into the distance.

"Even the night before yesterday, wasn't God and God in balance? The main priesthoods of the righteous gods are balanced with each other. If the evil gods come to this world, there must be a kind force to stop them. It may be mortals or other gods, But it's all about balance."

Xia De paused and asked the doctor:

"So, you mean, the truth of the world is balance?"

"It's not accurate. It should be said that there is no need to pursue balance. Everything in this world is balance."

The doctor laughed.

"No need to pursue?"

Xia De frowned slightly:

"I don't understand."

"You're too young, too young."

The doctor sighed and shook his head at Xia De:

"You still have a long life to understand my words. It is useless to explore what is good, what is bad, what is light, and what is darkness, but it is a waste of your life."

"Then how should we balance myself?"

Xia De asked for advice, and the middle-aged doctor smiled:

"I have experience with this. I often say this to my patients: every night before going to bed, review what you have done in the day. If you can relax and sleep after reviewing, then you can grasp the balance."

The young outlander nodded.

There was another violent explosion sound from behind the wood deflagration. Beside the two people who were walking far away along the street, people either came to help with water basins and buckets, or ran away with frightened faces. Only two people walked away. Man moves at a normal speed.

Flames rushed out from the windows of the three-story building, and the black smoke and flames dyed the sky of Tobesk red. On the street below the building, people holding banknotes were talking about what happened just now, crying and crying about the disheveled woman, and people who came with water basins were nervous and didn't know whether they should enter the house.

The flames stained every face red.

With his back to the burning building, the advancing doctor raised his hand to press his hat, and the flames shone red on his back. Shad turned to look at the burning building, the fire reflected in his eyes:

[Sixth Epoch, Universal Calendar 1853, Summer, Moon of Thunder. The flames flushed your face, and under the midsummer sky you saw what you had done. You too gave your eyes to the golden balances, and you judged the gods who held a feast of blood under the moon. The chosen one is your partner, and the girl who bears everything stands by your side. The golden balance is balanced by your weight, and what you see in your eyes is the whole world. Foreigner, you who have mastered the balance, are you eager for the current story? Outlanders, are you looking forward to a vast epic? 】

The doctor raised his feet and walked forward, lowered his head and pressed his hat, with a smile on his face hidden under the hat.

A police squad with sirens blowing stopped on the street, shouting to maintain order, their faces full of anxiety.

People on the street stood in the light of the fire, the greedy looked down to pick up banknotes, the helpless looked up at the buildings, and the brave waved their arms to remind them of safety.

The city hall horse-drawn carriage carrying water came rushing from a distant block, and further away, more and more people were gathering.

Black smoke sprang out from the window on the third floor, leaping out of the raging flames, leaving traces of winding upwards under the gloomy sky, reaching higher and higher.

Xia De raised his left foot, held the suitcase in his right hand, and turned his head to look behind him.

The flames flickered in his eyes, figures swayed around him, noisy noises entered his ears, and the stench of burning poured into his nostrils.

There was a muffled bang above the head, the rising heat entered the cloud layer, the water vapor condensed, and the thunder light made a muffled sound in the cloud layer.

It's going to rain in a city on fire~lightnovelpub.net~ In Tobesk on Saturday, dense crowds of people moved in this steam city like little ants. Outsiders, ring warlocks, gods, cultists, fire...all of these did not affect the stability and balance of the city.

I have experienced so many things, but this world, this city, is the same as the day he came. Here, it is still the pearl of the north, the foggy city of Tobesk.

Xia De stood under the vast sky, in the huge steam city, listening to the soft laughter of the woman next to his ear, suddenly felt that he understood something.

Facing the burning building and crowds of people with his back, he followed the doctor and merged into the bustling crowd.

"So, balance is in all things?"

In the pocket, the [Original Balance] Rhodes card shimmered. The huge dark golden balance flashed behind Xia De, but no one saw this scene.

[Outlander, you have gained new power. 】
