Volume 4: The Sea and the Ship Heading North Chapter 235 Where is the moral law in your heart?
Under the same night sky, in the distant and deep ocean, Lord Stoke looked at the starry sky above his head with a fanatical look on his face.
"He told me his purpose directly on the first day he found me. He learned about my ancestors' research results on blood-cursed orcs from an unknown channel. He wanted to get this result from me, and he needed my help to complete the steps that required the participation of members of the Stoke family."
"And in return, he can grant me one wish. When I first heard what he said, I didn't take it seriously because I had never seen him or heard of his name before coming to this tower. How could I believe that such a person suddenly came to me and said that he could grant me a wish?"
"The contract process must be completed voluntarily by me to be effective. He has no way of forcing me by force or magic. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he has shown great patience in his distrust of me. He told me, why can't I tell him what I want most first? Maybe he can really do it."
"I didn't have even the slightest hope for him. I was just fed up with his pestering, so I said I would help him as long as he could let me go to the starry sky."
"He thought I was deliberately trying to find an impossible wish to fulfill, and told me that as long as I could name a wizard in the world who could do it, then he could do it too. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to help me fulfill a wish that could not be fulfilled."
"I told him that no wizard could do it, but Muggles could, and showed him the newspaper article about the first Muggle to go into space."
"He looked at the newspaper in silence for more than ten minutes before leaving my tower. After that, I didn't see him for three consecutive days. But when I thought he had given up, he came to me again and brought me something!"
Sir Stock's eyes seemed to be burning, and the excitement and excitement in them were undisguised.
"He brought a Muggle spaceship! A spaceship that was actually flown by Muggles, and it broke out of the planet we live on and went into space!"
"He was just like that, a man with a spaceship as big as a mountain floating beside him. I stood on the top of the tower and never thought that thing would really appear in front of me! In this form!"
Through Sir Stoker's description, John was also stunned. He could fully imagine what kind of scene that would be, but he could never have imagined that Voldemort would actually bring a spaceship over!
"From that moment on, I knew very clearly that if my dream really had a chance to come true, it could only be realized by this man in front of me!"
"He told me that this was just a deposit. As long as I agreed to help him, I could keep the spaceship. But if I really wanted to take it to the starry sky, I had to wait until he accomplished his goal. He would let a Muggle who could fly the spaceship take me to any place it could reach!"
Ser Stoker looked at Jon, and his mood gradually calmed down, and his voice and eyes began to return to normal.
"With such a temptation right before my eyes, how could I not agree to his terms? I met his requirements and signed this contract for him. In order to prevent this matter from being leaked, I was willing to strip away all my memories of this incident and hide them under the stone slab."
Jon gradually came back to his senses from this shocking information, took a deep breath, and continued his words.
"But you and the Dark Lord never expected that you, who had lost your memory of the incident, would find the stone tablet again and try every possible means to unlock the secret on it. Then you met me."
Lord Stoker looked at Jon sincerely.
"Give me back the contract, Jon Green. We've talked together, and I can see that you are very dissatisfied with the distorted development of the wizarding world. The outdated ideas of wizards need a revolution. Someone must break their arrogance and conceit, open their blinded eyes, and recognize the world clearly."
"As long as there is that spaceship, there is such an opportunity! As long as there is a wizard who truly reaches the place called space, everyone in the magic world will know how vast the starry sky above our heads is, and how wonderful the world we live in is!"
"Give me the contract. The agreement I made with that man can still be maintained. This will be the beginning of a new era, and it is something you and I both want to see!"
Jon looked at him and didn't answer immediately. His eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Perhaps when he first found you, you didn't know who he was, nor what kind of person this man was, but sir, you only got back a memory, but you didn't forget what we talked about, right?"
"I told you what the Dark Lord did in the wizarding world. He used bloodline to divide wizards into different levels, turned people into slaves, and became a dictator himself . You told me that you hated using bloodline to divide people, and you hated oppression no matter what excuse was used. These are what you said. Then, what are you doing now? You know what he did, and you still want to help him like this?"
Faced with Jon's questioning, a trace of shame clearly flashed across Sir Stoker's face, but this emotion did not last. He became a little desperate and even hysterical.
"Everything in the world has its own weight. The enslavement of some wizards and the opening up of the narrow vision of all wizards. If you have to choose between the two, the former will eventually give way to the latter!"
"Even the social development of Muggles follows this law. Only when horizons are opened and minds are liberated, it will promote changes in the system and society! I believe that the magic world will not violate this law. I am making the right choice for the future of all wizards!"
Jon's eyes turned to pity as he looked at him.
"Stop deceiving yourself and making excuses for what you did against your heart, sir. In fact, you know that you are doing something wrong, but your desire for the starry sky has taken over everything in you. You said that wizards are blinded by magic, but you are also the same. You can only see the starry sky above your head?"
"If you really understand Muggle philosophy more deeply, you should have heard this sentence.
The two most sacred, eternal, and ever-changing things that amaze and shock us the most are the starry sky and the moral law in our hearts.
You only see the starry sky, but where is the moral law in your heart!"
