Harry Potter: I Am a Legend - v6 Chapter 3
Ramiro I did not lie to his wife, and for the next ten years, he did not reveal to anyone about the alteration of the castle that night.
At the baptism hosted by the church, he adopted a farmer’s child and became his adopted son, while the young West Xavier was secretly sent to his wife’s father’s home.
He built a secret castle in the fief of his father-in-law, put his wife and children in it, and guarded it with five hundred guards, not allowing West Xavier to see anyone else, and West Xavier’s daily life, Thirty close female officials are responsible.
Fortunately, after that night, the powerful, almost crazy magical fluctuations in West Xavier’s body gradually weakened, and were no longer so exaggerated, although sometimes his crying can still shatter glass or let toys fly out of thin air. Come here, but at any rate it’s not as sensational as before. This is good news for Ramiro I, who is very versatile.
However, as time passed, Ramiro I began to worry about his son’s education. The little prince grew up day by day, and his body became stronger day by day. He learned how to ride a horse and shoot arrows, one can hold five. But Ramiro I did not want his son to become a martial artist or a knight. He hoped that his son could become a king and hold power in the future.
After suffering from food, he knows the importance of culture and knowledge, but at that time, the most famous scholars were more or less related to the church.
This may be a bit conservative. It should be said that most scholars believe in God.
And Ramiro I could not directly let the church members educate West Xavier, because that would easily expose West Xavier’s abilities, although over the years, the young prince had learned to control his weird power and not let it. It was exposed to everyone, but the king’s worries were still multiplying day by day.
At the age of ten, Ramiro I finally found a barely suitable lecturer for the young prince, Hugo Zacley, a bachelor from the Kingdom of France.
This old man offended the top of the church because of his stinky and straightforward speech. He was expelled from West Franconian University. However, his temper was still upright. The Catholic Church was rumored everywhere, resulting in deteriorating circumstances, but his knowledge was still the same at the time. First class. So Ramiro I invited him secretly to the secret manor of Aragon and asked him to teach the little prince knowledge.
At the beginning, the little prince and the Hugo Zackley fellow got along quite happily. Whether it was astronomy, geography, literature, or poetry, he had all studied in a good manner, and he was very concerned about the weird problems of the old fellow. Also turned a blind eye.
But when Professor Hugo started teaching religious courses, the problem slowly surfaced.
On that day, Hugo began to teach West Xavier’s “Bible”, when it was said that God used six days to create the sun, the moon and the stars, and seven days after the creation of man.
West Xavier asked: “Why can God make the sun, moon and stars and humans?”
Hugo replied, “Because God is omniscient and omnipotent, has the ability to change, and the ability to create things, so he can create the century.”
So Xavier asked again: “Then why does God have this ability, and when did he have this ability?”
“God is born with this ability, from the very beginning.”
Hugo answered.
West Xavier asked: “What was born that day? Was it a greater God, when was it in the beginning, and how early? Was it the Genesis before Genesis?”
The Hugo Fellow couldn’t answer, he was a little embarrassed and could only prevaricate the past with no record in the Bible.
Later, Hugo Fellow talked to Xavier West about Paradise Lost, and talked about Adam and Eve being driven out of the Garden of Eden by eating the forbidden fruit under the lure of a snake. So Xavier asked Hugo again: “Why can’t people stay in paradise with wisdom.”
“Because they have wisdom, they will be greedy, and they will covet the fruit of life on the tree of life that can make people live forever. God does not want them to eat the fruit of life.”
“Why doesn’t God want them to eat the fruit of life?”
West Xavier asked again.
“Because eating the fruit of life will become like God, eternal life and omniscience.” Hugo replied triumphantly, admitting that the answer was impeccable.
“Then God himself ate the fruit of life and fruit of wisdom?” West Xavier asked again.
The Hugo Fellow hesitated, he said with some uncertainty: “Of course…it should…maybe you have eaten…”
“Does he regret eating these two fruits? That’s why he was so angry that Adam and Eve stole one of them?”
“This…”
Academician Hugo could not answer. He was a little unhappy, so he could only prevaricate the past with no record in the Bible.
Then, Hugo told West Xavier the story of Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood.
West Xavier asked: “Why does God destroy mankind?”
Hugo replied: “Because they have fallen, they have sinned so badly that they are incurable. This is a punishment for being disobedient!”
The Hugo Fellow said in a threatening tone that he hoped that West Xavier would take warning and be obedient, but West Xavier remained unmoved. He then asked: “Why does God leave Noah’s family again?”
Hugo replied: “Because Noah and his family are kind-hearted, believe in God, and follow God’s teachings.”
West Xavier asked again: “Does God want mankind to be obedient?”
“Of course I hope!!”
Hugo Scholar said angrily.
“Since God is omniscient and omnipotent, why not create human beings who are obedient from the beginning?” West Xavier asked reluctantly.
Hugo couldn’t answer. He became increasingly unhappy, but he could only answer with no record in the Bible.
West Xavier asked again: “The offspring of the kind-hearted Noah’s family will not degenerate and will not sin?”
Hugo: “…”
But Xavier asked again, “Since God is omniscient and omnipotent, and knows the inevitable fall of mankind, why did God create man-made things in the first place?”
The Hugo Fellow couldn’t bear it anymore. He asked Xavier angrily: “Then why do you think God created man?”
West Xavier stared innocently with big eyes: “It’s obvious, isn’t it? He must be a poor and boring fool.”
That day, the restrained and staid Hugo Fellow overturned the table, vomiting blood for three liters due to coughing, he rushed out of the prince’s manor, and reported all this to Ramiro I. Ramiro I was afraid of his son. He said something blasphemous, and was afraid that his wizarding side would be exposed to the Hugo Fellow, so he quickly found an excuse to dismiss the Bachelor.
Fortunately, the little prince has passed the stage of enlightenment and can read books by himself. Ramiro I built a library for him in the manor, allowing him to teach himself every day.
But the departure of Bachelor Hugo dealt a big blow to West Xavier. His character began to become no longer lively, and he often stayed alone in the corner of the manor unhappy.
Three more years have passed.
When West Xavier was thirteen years old, his body began to develop, and gradually he had some male and female consciousness.
Once, during a spring outing held at the manor.
He saw his maid surrounded a tall guard with a smile, and showed him courtesy, and turned a blind eye to the other short guard. He asked his close maid: “Why don’t they like that short guard? Guards.”
“Look at that tall guard, he is really handsome. It’s me and I will like him too.”
The female officer clutched her heart and said, and then she felt wrong again, so she hurriedly posted to West Xavier’s ear: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, when you grow up, you will be more than a hundred times more handsome than the high guard.”
But Xi Xavier did not feel much better because of the words of the close female officer. On the way back, he thought of the short guard on the road, thought that he had been laughing and gloomy in the crowd, and thought that he might become like this in the future. All day long.
As a result, early the next morning, the two guards became exactly the same height.
This incident frightened the short guard, because he had already passed the developmental age, and the people around him were also frightened, because this guy grew two heads tall almost overnight.
The close female officer reported this weird thing to the king. Ramiro I felt very scared. He was afraid that the terrible magic power of his son once began to awaken again, and was even more afraid that this matter would be known to outsiders.
So he drove away all the male guards, personally selected 365 maids of similar height, and let them take turns taking care of them 365 days a year, hoping to stop West Xavier from thinking about the messy things.
The method worked. For a long time, West Xavier didn’t see anything different again, and he faced similar maids.
But one day, this group of maids secretly fighting in the manor was seen by West Xavier. It turned out that it was one of the 365 maids who looked ugly and was squeezed out by her companions because of her inferior appearance. They tore off her clothes. , And enjoy it here.
West Xavier saw the secretly crying maid, thinking that he might one day be ridiculed by others because of his inferior appearance, and he was depressed all day.
As a result, the 365 maids who took care of him became exactly the same the next day. This incident caused great fear on the same day. A dozen maids looked in the mirror and passed out on the spot. Three maids chose to commit suicide by jumping into the well. .
The desperate close female officer cried and told King Ramiro I of the terrible thing. King Ramiro I was having lunch. After hearing this, he almost spit out the wine in his mouth.
So he ordered that all people who take care of Prince Xavier in the future must wear exactly the same mask. And let the domestic ceremonial officer go to the manor instead of the 365 maids to take charge of the prince’s daily life, and at the same time teach him the most appropriate royal etiquette.
The method worked, all the ceremonial officers put on masks, and the people West Xavier saw had no difference in height or appearance.
But he himself was getting thinner.
Because he could no longer see the true appearance of the people around him, he could not hear their true thoughts, and everyone who saw him trembled and kept their distance. He felt extremely lonely.
One day two years later.
The tenants who are responsible for the care of the estate come to the castle to pay the rent.
It happened that West Xavier took his close female officer to relax in the manor and met them.
Xixavier had never seen anyone outside the royal family before, and when he saw tenants and butlers, he was curious to stop and watch.
He saw the ragged, rickety tenants and slaves carrying grain, and the butler waving a whip, standing on the haystack, so he asked the close maid, “Who are those?”
The female officer replied: “Those are slaves.”
“What about those?” The little prince pointed to the whip.
“Those are housekeepers who are responsible for rent collection.”
That afternoon, the sun was dazzling, and the little prince was standing in the distance, watching the sweaty slaves and the saliva-spattering butlers in the dusty clearing.
The close maid was afraid of what Xi Xavier was thinking about again, so she hurriedly pulled him back to the bedroom and served him to sleep in the most gentle way.
In the middle of the night, the female officer strictly watched the sleeping little prince, fearing that something as terrible as before would happen, but that day, nothing happened. The farmer was still a farmer, and the housekeeper was still a housekeeper.
The female officer breathed a sigh of relief.
But a week later, West Xavier ran away from the manor.
The close maid who came to prepare dinner for him found that the prince was nowhere to be seen in the castle. She was frightened and mobilized the maid and servants frantically, looking for the prince around the manor.
Finally, after a carpet search, they found West Xavier in a small square in a nearby village.
At this moment, a circus show was being performed on the small square of the village. Several clowns were breathing fire with their mouths. Tigers and bears jumped from the burning ring of fire. Monkeys stepped on a wheelbarrow and beat gongs and drums.
The farmers gathered around the circus and laughed and were extremely happy.
West Xavier also laughed in the crowd, very happy.
The female officer couldn’t help but pulled Xavier out and wanted to take him back, but in the crowd, Xavier happily asked the next female officer: “Who are they?”
But this time, the close female officer dared not answer him, because those were forbidden entertainment, she just wanted West Xavier to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
But West Xavier asked reluctantly: “Who are they?”
The close female officials can only answer: “They are a group of jugglers!”
West Xavier exclaimed happily: “It’s really happy, I will become such a person in the future.”
The frightened close female officer reported the incident to King Ramiro I.
Ramiro I was extremely angry and executed all those who performed the trick that night. It was not over yet. He was very afraid that his son would realize his own ability, and even more afraid that he would be interested in those terrible tricks, so he expelled everyone within 20 kilometers of the manor. And built a 20-meter high tower inside the manor, and closed West Xavier on a high tower so that he could not walk down the tower until he became an adult.
