The black tea in the cup is no longer as warm as before, but it is still warm, but it is only warm, and the taste has dropped greatly, of course, neither Hugo nor Li Du's thoughts and attention are on drinking tea.

There is always a deep meaning in Li Du's words, but Hugo never understood what the deeper meaning really pointed to.

Li Du looked at Hugo, then he shook his head with a chuckle and said, "It seems that Hua Lian didn't tell you much. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if you know, you're always wary of her. ”

Li Du said: "I have never hidden anything from Hua Lian, let alone any distrust. And some of her doubts can be regarded as routine. You know, in a position like ours, you have to question a lot of things, a lot of people, and you have to keep it that way. ”

Hugo nodded and said, "I understand." Hugo is not a lie, now he is not much better than Li Du, now he must be absolutely vigilant when communicating with anyone, sometimes this state is not deliberate, it can be said that this is a habit of his.

As the head of the family, Li Du has to face countless internal and external troubles, and his living conditions can be imagined.

Li Du continued: "I have to say that Hua Lian loves you very much, the reason why she didn't tell you some truths is not because she wants to hide something from you, but because she doesn't want you to have too much heavy burden, she wants to protect you." With that, Li Du took a sip of warm tea, frowned at the not very good taste, and then put down the teaglass.

"But as I said, the next issue we have to face is not as simple as a struggle between several sides. ”

Hugo said: "Forgive me for being deaf and blind, but is there anything more important at the moment than the civil war on Moon Island?"

Li Du said: "Maybe, I'm not sure about this." ”

Then he tapped his finger on the tea table a few times, and then said, "Have you ever thought about a question, no matter what kind of chaos is going on in Tsukishima, the forces of the world have not interfered and participated?"

Hugo frowned slightly and said, "They want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

Li Du nodded and said, "There are also factors in this regard, but they are not the main reason. The so-called chaos is order, and it is interesting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but if you can participate in the process of the tiger fight, then the benefits will be even greater. There are not many people in this world who want to watch the drama leisurely, and the real ones are speculators who take risks for various interests. ”

Hugo's expression became more serious, and he understood the meaning of Li Du's words, since this group of speculators was not involved, it meant that in the eyes of these people, there would be more important things to deal with.

It is not a blasphemous danger, but a more intractable global problem.

A chill ran through Hugo's heart.

Li Du said: "I won't tell you about this matter in detail, after I go back, Hua Lian will know everything about you, and she knows more about it than I do." ”

Hugo was silent, it seems that everything at present is also planned by Li Du. From Li Du's attitude, it can be seen that Li Du's attention is also on the so-called big event that he is about to face, and Li Du maintains a wooing attitude towards himself, although he did not say it directly, but obviously Li Du still wants to work with him.

What is it that makes Li Du think like this?

Hugo couldn't figure it out, and it seemed that only Hua Lian could answer this answer for herself.

Even so, Hugo still asked Li Du a question, because Hua Lian's attitude did not represent Li Du.

"What do you want me to do about the future?"

Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said, "Choice is never ordered, is it? Especially for someone like you, it doesn't matter what I want." ”

Although Hugo knew that Li Du's words had a hint of comfort, Hugo still felt a little happy to hear it in his heart.

Li Du said: "From a certain point of view, you and I are relatively similar people. Throw away those blasphemous abilities, of course. ”

Li Du turned his head to look to the side, looking at the blue sky through the transparent wall.

"Nameless may lie to you, but some things are true. For many years, all I've been looking for is something that excites me or is interesting, otherwise living in this world would be too boring. ”

"It's a bit arrogant to say that, but I'm proud to be where I'm today, and if you look at the past few thousand years, there aren't many people who have been able to share my starting point and achieve this. ”

"I was born in an ordinary family, without any illustrious family background. There are no prosperous characters in the parents and ancestors. Haha, it's a miracle that I can live so ordinarily and so ordinarily for generations to this day. ”

"When I was a teenager, I didn't think I had much of a future, and I wasn't one of those people who was immersed in a vision. I have seen the world through from a very early age, and I am full of pessimism and despair. ”

"Thousands of years of human culture have relied on important inheritances, and a large part of this inheritance is due to blood. This may seem narrow, but it is an unshakable truth. Countless people were born without the presidency, and no matter how hard they try in this life, it will be difficult for them to move up several classes. ”

"Class, for many people, is too much to estimate the old feudalism, and people believed in a series of bright words such as democracy and justice centuries ago. There is nothing wrong with this, human civilization is always advancing, but even so classes will always exist. ”

After that, Li Du chuckled and said, "I heard that you are more familiar with the kid of the Moon God family?"

Hugo said: "I can't talk about familiarity, but I just have some intersections." ”

Li Du nodded, and then said, "If it weren't for this ability coming to you, maybe you wouldn't be able to contact him in your life." Even if you live in the same light, you are completely different worlds. ”

Hugo nodded.

"I don't have a family background, I don't have connections, no matter how hard I try, there's a limit on my head, so that makes me feel very frustrated. ”

Hugo said: "But you finally broke through this limitation. ”

Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is something I didn't even think of myself." ”

"I left school, joined the Army, became a MechKnight, entered the Templar, and worked my way up to become the Grand Knight Captain of the Templar. You know what? When I sat in that chair on the first day, I questioned everything that was happening in front of me. ”

But then I realized that what I had imagined was too simple. Although I seem to be an inspirational role model in the eyes of countless young people, the difficulties I face are definitely not what these young people want to face. ”

"The Templar Captains who have served in the past are all from Tianying, which is the pride of Tianying, and it is a beautiful story with a long history in the eyes of the world. But only a small number of people understand what kind of politics there was during this period. ”

"The selection of the Templar is very cruel, just like the competition for the crown prince in feudal times, there is only one winner, and the outcome of the loser is definitely not as simple as going home and sleeping in despair. ”

"At that time, I did not have the luxury of becoming a successor, at least at that time I did not think the time was ripe, but the old knight chief turned the tide and elected me to this position. ”

After that, Li Du couldn't help laughing, and then drank a cup of tea that had cooled down and said, "Speaking of which, there is a more interesting thing. ”

"There is such a story in Tianying, saying that there has always been a favorite candidate in the old knight's mind, and that is Shen Ming. It's just that Shen Ming's age was too young at the beginning, and the old knight chief really couldn't wait that long because of his health, so he decided to pass on the position to me, and strongly asked me to let Shen Ming inherit my position. ”

Hugo nodded and said, "I have heard about this matter, and it is said that you also like Shen Ming very much." However, because the Templar and Tianying began to fight each other later, Qiu Jianlin tried his best to prevent Shen Ming from entering the Templar, and finally Shen Ming stayed in Tianying. ”

"That's right, that's it. Li Du nodded, and then continued: "These rumors can be said to be half true and false, but they have been circulating for many years, and they are even talked about by people in the community, especially in the past few years, it is no secret that the Holy Church and Tianying have become enemies, so this matter is even more true. ”

Hugo said: "What about reality?"

Li Du said: "The reality is that neither I nor the old knight chief have the intention of passing on this position to Shen Ming, no matter what kind of talent he is. ”

Hugo raised an eyebrow, apparently waiting for further explanations from Li Du.

Li Du said: "First of all, I want to admit that Shen Ming's talent and talent are really rare, it can be said that he was born destined to become a mecha knight, as long as he is carefully cultivated, I believe that no one will be able to shake his position as the number one in the world for at least twenty years." ”

"However, natural talent is certainly extraordinary, but Shen Ming has an Achilles' heel. Of course, this weakness is considered by many to be his excellent quality. That is, Shen Ming is too emotional. ”

"You may not know that Shen Ming's talent is not really fully displayed in Tianying, as early as a long time, Qiu Jianlin discovered him and began to cultivate him in the first place. It can be said that Qiu Jianlin has absolute affection for Shen Ming. ”

And Shen Ming also attached great importance to this, so he chose Qiu Jianlin in the face of various choices in the future. ”

Then Li Du smiled and said to Hugo: "Now you understand my worries, if Shen Ming becomes the successor of the Templar, then the Templar is destined to be revenged. No matter whether Qiu Jianlin will be alive at that time or not, his will and Tianying's will will are all present in Shen Ming's body, don't think that it will be impossible, brainwashing, marriage, political resources, etc., Qiu Jianlin's control of these is too familiar, then the relationship between Tianying and the Holy Church will become closer and closer, and it will eventually become one. ”

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "I have to say, but I don't see any harm in this point." ”

"That's too much. Li Du immediately denied.

"Thinking about the fact that at that time, Tianying had an inseparable connection with the Templar and even the military, then there would be absolute power, and this power would permeate all forces, which was never a good thing, and one day there would be a collusive force in Tsukishima, as I mentioned earlier, there would be an insurmountable class existence. ”

Hugo didn't care about political affairs, but from Li Du's tone, he had already heard the seriousness of some problems, and he nodded as if he didn't understand.

Li Du looked at Hugo and said, "Have you ever watched "A Song of Ice and Fire"?"

Although Hugo had read a lot of books, he had not read everything in the world, so he shook his head.

Li Du smiled: "It's a classic masterpiece, you can read it when you have time, of course it's a very wonderful story." ”

"The story is mainly about the struggle for power between several major families, which is extremely tragic. But by the time I finished reading that book, I wasn't addicted to the story. I was only pessimistic to find that in the story, it is a group of people who are so-called nobles and nobles fighting for their various desires, and the people have not played any role in this struggle, they only have blood and sacrifice. ”

Hugo chuckled, "You thought of yourself at that time?"

Li Du smiled: "That's right, I am neither Targaryen nor Stark, I don't have any noble blood, I'm just the most ordinary person." ”

Hugo said: "But you, an ordinary person, have created extraordinary miracles. ”

Li Du said: "You also said that this is a miracle. ”

Then Li Du shook his head and said: "There has never been any miracle in this world, there is only necessity. ”

Hugo pondered for a while, and then said, "So do you want this necessity to exist?"

Li Du said: "Isn't it good? Although the forces of all parties are not harmonious at present, this kind of mutual containment will create a relatively harmonious situation. As a simple example, when there are two supermarkets in one place, there will be discounts in order to compete, and consumers will profit from it, but if it is only one supermarket..."

Hugo nodded.

Li Du said: "Human life is limited, and energy is also limited. I can't control what the future holds, but what I can do is control the present, at least keep the power in my hands and make this discount campaign go on for a long time. ”

Hugo never thought of Li Du's idea, and then said: "Your approach will offend many people." ”

Li Du said: "That's right, but I don't care. After all, they can't do anything to me right now. After a pause, a sly smile appeared on Li Du's face.

"And it was funny to see how they were so unhappy and helpless to me. ”
