From the thought that you have no enemies...

you have no enemies

The war ghost said to his son: "There is no one who can be hurt in this world, you have no enemies." Engraved in the next ten years, blood has seeped into every pore of Thorfen, "Men Han Torfin" Just dragging a broken body to live for the enemy. I can't help but rush into my mind "Man is born free, but everywhere is in chains". It is really a pity that people's memories cannot be passed down. It took Thors 20 to 30 years to figure out a sentence, and it took Torfen more than 10 years to figure it out. Thanks to Arutellius, this time was a little earlier than his father after all. No one can be hurt. There are only ten words and 20 bytes of data. Those twenty years of dead corpses piled up in mountains that can make Thors think about it all. Helga's anger when he named it, in a dream The Vinland and the aurora overhead, and more importantly, the emotions that these scenes were written in the mind, whether the hands were shaking, whether the exhaled air was colder, and the blood splashed on the face, in addition to the warm fishy smell. Is there any other feeling, these fragments condensed into the last ten words, Thors can never teach Torfin, all the bitterness can only be tasted again by himself.

A creature without memory can't grow, but just flipping through the stupid things that happen over and over in the history books, you should know how hard it is to make a creature grow. The Vikings ushered in the dawn of the Dusk Age at that time, and they slaughtered the Quartet and slashed Europe with blunt axes. But they also looked like a nation with no memory. The cycle of killing and death was repeated over and over again. When everyone's goal was to go to the Temple of Valhalla, life and death became a matter of little concern. Those who are too lazy to care about the future are too lazy to care about the past, and those who are too lazy to care about the past are not able to care about the present. Interestingly, perhaps because of this, although the Vikings have countless blood debts, they do not hold grudges and seek revenge for each other. It is difficult to judge whether it is open-minded or stupid. Old Xie and Torfin, who really succeeded, were the ones who remembered their hatred to the core. Although hatred is useless, the obsession brought by hatred may be beneficial. Obsession makes them no longer forgetful, and turns them into a force that allows them to look to the future from the past. But Qiu distorted their future the moment he gave them the future. Thanks to Jesus Christ, the prince brought back A Xie, and A Xie also brought back Torfin. The future led by hatred is still too dangerous. The prince's choice may be the best choice, he has left his hatred, but not his memory. A bloodbath who clearly knows what he should do may be the most terrifying and strongest existence. Killing Torfin is the goal, and Asherat may be a habit, but for Knut it is a means. Knut's idea may be the closest to War Ghost. Everyone under Knut's knife is just an obstacle he clears for the ultimate goal. He loves them more than hates them. This love did not affect the great prince's ability to send away these dead souls neatly. This road seemed to be the most likely to pass through.

But this is not enough, the first sentence of the war ghost is too difficult, even he himself was martyred for it. No one in this world can be hurt, but everyone is being cut through the heart by large and small knives every day. To borrow Yang Weili's words, it was his personal sense of responsibility and mission to all mankind that turned the Danish prince into a tyrannical tyrant. It gave him a shudder, and it gave me a shudder. Because once this kind of thinking is practiced, there will be the crime of objectifying or even materializing other subjects. I can't think of a way to reconcile the contradictions. I just hope that the Knuts will have better luck on the way up the stairs, and there will be fewer collisions, and a few more Torfins will throw down their knives, which is great.

Vinland Saga quotes

  • Leif Erikson: Not all warriors fight on the battlefield with a sword in hand. A sailor makes his living battling the sea.

  • Ylva: Well, if they're dead, then that's the end of it. Crying about it gets you nothing but an empty stomach.
