Chapter 252: Kingly Temperament
Seeing Quintus' distraction, Givens had to repeat the problem.
"Quintus, is there any news about the last thing you asked you about?"
Givens remembered the last time Quintus had said that a summoner had discovered that the summoners of that world were preparing for a war. But now, after all this time, there seems to be no other news at all.
"Uh, what...... No, not at all. Quintus, who understood the question, rolled in the water, "Last time we cleaned up Bromu the Batman, but now he's spreading rumors and bad things about us, and no one wants to trade with me for the time being." ”
"Where's that monkey Cassius?"
"I haven't seen anyone yet, so I don't know what I'm busy with. ”
Hearing Quintus's answer, Givens couldn't help but become a little worried.
This time, with the help of the information provided by the evil ape, he managed to get Professor Morris to find Valley and move her to a relatively safe place, so that the carefully prepared attack of the Sandman Maharaja and the Purple Pine family would be defeated. But there is no clue what that rumored war is.
The secrets circulating among summoned beasts are definitely not unfounded rumors, and there is indeed a great change brewing somewhere in that world. Gevin knew that if he could get the details of the matter thoroughly, he would be able to get ahead of the curve in this huge gamble.
That is an opportunity to save the fate of countless people.
But now Givens didn't know anything about this opportunity. He didn't know if the crisis was related to the Council of Elders of the Elven Kingdom, and he didn't even know if the upheaval would implicate Adelia or Valley.
This feeling of powerlessness made Govin very uncomfortable. Because on that night in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, he was struggling to survive in the whirlpool of countless conspiracies without knowing anything, and finally took Mira's life.
He had vowed to himself that he would never let a similar tragedy happen again.
Still plagued by Excalibur's problem, Quintus ignored the dazed Jiwen and swam in the water on his own, but when he returned from a swim, he found that Jiwen was still pondering. So he couldn't hold back anymore. Once again, he taught Jiwen a lesson in the tone of an old-timer.
"Are you still thinking about that world, Jiwen, do you know, it will make you look inferior......"
That particular word finally woke up Given's deep thought.
"Low self-esteem?"
Givens was a little puzzled. He could accept Quintus's many words to describe him, but he never thought that he would show his inferiority in the eyes of others.
Quintus climbed up from the water, sat down beside Given, and unceremoniously lectured.
"Given, before you were called, must have been an ordinary person. ”
"So what?"
Givens did not deny Quintus's suggestion.
"So you, like Hel, are not confident enough in the power you have now, so deep down you always want to do something inexplicable to prove that you are strong. ”
"You're guessing. ”
"Am I wrong?" Quintus said with a tone of voice, "you all feel that you are the savior, the summoner who can save you, and even the whole world. But you have all forgotten that the things you should really do are actually in the world in front of you. ”
In Quintus's opinion, Givens already has everything that summoned beasts can want, he can make crystal disks for summoned beasts, he has established a mage castle, and he even has the strength to compete with high-level summoned beasts.
But he was not satisfied, he was still thinking about the ethereal world, thinking about the people or things that were destined to disappear from his endless life.
He should think carefully about how to survive in this world, how to obtain a safer and more comfortable position. And not the fate of those who have nothing to do with it.
"Anyway, you people with low self-esteem haven't learned how to let go. ”
Seeing Quintus arrogantly pointing out his life, Govin couldn't help but retort.
"Is being like you a sign of inferiority?"
Quintus shook the water from his body and raised his proud bird's head.
"This is the temperament of a king, unlike you, I know where the limits of my power are, and I will not be bothered by those boring emotions, so I never do anything beyond my ability, and I never expect anything that is impossible to achieve. ”
Givens didn't agree with Quintus, but he hadn't figured out how to contradict him for a moment. But Quintus looked at Given's silent appearance, and began to talk even more.
"For example, the old goblin Harvey is like me, maybe he was also a powerful goblin king. The old fellow knew the limits of his power, knew what he could and couldn't do, and did his best to be prepared for all possible dangers. His life has always been under his control, and he has only done one thing that has gotten out of control over the years, and that is to get you out of the store. ”
Givens thinks that this is Quintus gilding the lazy old goblin Harvey, but from Quintus's theory, there is no flaw in this explanation.
"Okay, do you understand? After talking endlessly, Quintus asked triumphantly.
"I see. Jiwen finally figured it out, so he replied very seriously.
"Do you really understand?"
"Yes, you do it because you are too old. ”
"It's old. A long-forgotten word flashed through Quintus's head, but before he could think about the meaning of the word, the words that shocked him even more rushed into his eardrums.
"You've been here so long that you've lost the courage to break through this cage. ”
Givan remembered that the old goblin Harvey had said that this vast forbidden god space was actually a huge cage for summoned beasts.
Not a single summoned creature can escape the captivity of this cage. They spent an endless amount of time here, and in these long years, they consumed all the precious emotions in their minds with their hopes and ambitions.
In the end, the only thing they thought about was how to survive as safely as possible in this cage.
That's true for old Harvey, and it's true for Quintus.
But Given's hope hasn't given up yet.
Even though he knew his fate, he didn't give up and went home. Even though he encountered so many difficulties along the way, he did not give up his struggle in that world.
He's still young, and he still believes he can change a lot of things. Therefore, he will never give up hope, and then go to be a prisoner of the forbidden god space with peace of mind.
Quintus saw the enthusiasm on Given's face, a passion that only young people can have.
But in the face of that enthusiasm, Quintus was not moved, but had an urge to pour a basin of cold water.
"Do you think you can get out of here? Do you think you can save the elves of that world like a savior?"
"Yes, I'm going to save them, and then I'm going to try to get out of here too. ”
After so many adventures, at least that's something worth doing.
"All fools like you have failed, and the result is the same. Quintus said unceremoniously.
"Have you tried it, Quintus, have you tried those opportunities?" asked Given, unflinching.
Quintus was speechless for the first time, because he hadn't tried.
When he saw that creatures far more powerful than himself were trapped here forever, he quickly gave up on the idea of returning to his throne. He didn't waste his energy on those elven summoners in the first place, he just tried his best to survive in this world. Eventually, he went from being an ambitious king to an obscure second-hand intelligence monger.
Is he really old? For the first time, Quintus doubted his beliefs.
Although his appearance did not change in any way from when he stepped into this mysterious space, he could no longer remember how many years he had spent in this desolate space.
Maybe it's because this forbidden god space is like a mountain that suppresses all his non-divisive thoughts, and time erodes his ambitions, and he is old, so he reluctantly accepts reality.
Given's words finally reminded him of himself in a distant memory, the moment he himself had just taken the scepter that symbolized the chief's strength. At that time, he had dreamed that he would be invincible and omnipotent, and he had believed that the whole sky would be his throne.
But when he truly conquered the whole sky, the fire in his heart was extinguished. And after falling into this forbidden god space, his heart was covered with countless shackles.
"Quintus, this world is just a cage, and the power that can break this world is in the world of elves. You should embrace the world, not reject it. ”
Jiwen said a question that he had thought about countless times in his heart, since it was the summoning technique of the elves that created the forbidden god space, so if he wanted to break this cage, he could only go to the elf world to seek answers, such as the forbidden spell summoning technique that could banish summoned beasts forever.
In the world of elves, although Jiwen encountered countless dangers, he also found the technique of making crystal disks, found the gift of the silver dragon, and even found the secret of the forging temple. If it weren't for the clues provided by these adventures.
Then he wouldn't be the Gilvin he is now, but just an ordinary blacksmith working in a goblin shop.
Quintus finally gave up his verbal resistance, because these words of Givens finally touched a certain part of his heart. So he began to ask in a soothing tone, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes. Givan spoke firmly.
"Looks like you're really thinking of yourself as a savior. ”
As he spoke, a loud bang came from the direction of the Mage's Castle. Givens and Quintus turned their heads to look at the smoke rising in front of the Mage's Castle. The birdman craned his neck and shouted at Jivan, "Come on, it's time for you to save the world." ”
This time there was no hint of mockery in Quintus's tone.
