Chapter 9: The Story

"Rodriette Saltisius, Englishman, the exact place of birth is unknown, and the date of birth is unknown, but, if I have to say, the most competent knight"

Huang Lu Meisha held his head high with three points of pride. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that Rhodes looked at her, and it was really a little funny.

This should be a kind of childishness, right?

"What you say is the same as not saying it, is it more difficult to use English?" shook his head.

"... Huang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then blushed again.

She really couldn't understand why the school's newly recruited foreign teacher was such a guy.

Is this deliberately asking for trouble for yourself?

"Ha, it's okay, then, I'll repeat it first, how much that guy's experience, I also have points, you just need to find a way to evaluate my description, how about it?"

"No need!

"Listen to me" glare, successfully stopping the girl's desire to express her will. Rod's eyes were cold and could not be questioned.

Then, when the girl stopped talking, she nodded with satisfaction, and then began to say.

"Rodriette Saltise, born in Mills Village, Yorkshire... Don't interrupt me" When she said this, it seemed that the girl had the intention of speaking again, so she glared again, Rod didn't like his words to be interrupted, very, very disliked, there were many guys who talked to himself before, and now he couldn't bear it anymore.

"It's a bit hard to count the years of birth, but it's the middle of summer, a stormy afternoon, and legend has it that it was the storm that blessed this man and made him feel the color of the wind all his life."

With his hands folded, Rhodes spoke with a playful feeling. Thumbs folded, playing with order, a smile crossed his lips.

"Then, he spent a life that Huang Lu-san, who roughly knew, right?"

Look at the past. The girl nodded unconvinced. So I continued.

"After something, after something, he did chivalrous deeds all over England, all the way trying to hoe the strong and help the weak, and do righteousness on his behalf, but often he couldn't get what he wanted, he saved many people, and got spiritual satisfaction, but many times he also understood better that he was just doing useless work"

Spreading out his hands, Rhodes has regretted it until now, always regretting his powerlessness.

"That's it... I saved a village and eliminated the bandits who caused the trouble, but where did the bandits come from? They came from the village, why are there bandits in the village? Because they can't live, why can't they live? Because of the exploitation of the lord, can he punish the lord? Can he kill the lord?

“・・・”

"The lords have not broken the law, and besides, it is not something he can punish. He had also forcibly stormed a lord's castle and made him hand over his plundered wealth, but he was taught a good lesson by that lord."

“・・・”

"Guess what, our Huang Lu classmate, what will that lord say?"

Rod smiled and waited for a few seconds, while Huang Lu only hesitated, opened her mouth a few times, but closed it again, and then, she glared at the new teacher fiercely, and then shook her head.

He didn't believe that this inexplicable Englishman could really know anything.

However, she found that she was deeply curious about this story that might have been made up.

She wanted to finish the story.

glanced at the classmates slightly, and they also had an obsessed expression.

'This guy really has a talent for speakers,' she thought, and then turned her attention again to the young man's story.

"The lord has no fear, don't think that the wicked must bow down to the brave in front of them, or beg for mercy, you think, how is that possible? As a fellow who has hurt others countless times, as a fellow who has become accustomed to being in a high position, who is really a waste? Why should they have to repent and repent? They don't need that, do they? He sneered at a knight who could kill him at any moment, a fellow who could single-handedly wipe out all his military might, and said: 'What is the point of asking me to return the money to the villagers, Mr. Saltisius, and he will only make me waste my time again and recollect them back? That won't work, I'll forbid all merchants to trade with you, with people associated with you, and those who are with you will become difficult to live, and then you will still be used as the hope of those who are lowly? If I die, then the new lord will only pay the price of my death countless times to the untouchables, and we can't hurt you, but you see, don't you think about the people you want to help?Listen to me, leave now, let go of my collar, don't try to threaten or hurt me, then I can still look at your face and make those untouchables feel better!'"

In one breath, as if reading poetry, Rhodes first recited it in English and then in Japanese.

His hands were not shaking a little, but his smile was even brighter.

"Yes, and then he had nothing to do, and went away, and the people there were glorifying a certain knight for making them pay less and give them more food to keep, but they didn't know how frustrating it was for their savior, Lord Lord, to leave there with his teeth gritted..."

“・・・”

The class was silent.

Then, after countless experiences of pain, remorse, and powerlessness, he finally understood that many things can be solved by more than just hard work, and there are many times when the power he has must be strong enough to defy common sense to allow others to follow the path he has designated, but that is too difficult, there should be other ways to achieve it, right? So, he decided to find a true king for this country, a king who is countless times more outstanding than him, so that he can realize his dreams”

"That's it?"

"Yes, King Arthur" nodded with a little bit of nostalgia that the girls didn't understand, "He was going to participate in a knight's competition, and then looking for an emperor who could be loyal enough... But there, he met someone..."

He paused, laboriously starting to phrase.

The grammar was awkward as if he weren't an Englishman. It's as if he's hiding something.

"Boy, well, boy" Then, he finally figured out how to describe the legendary king.

"King Arthur, a certain boy has drawn the sword of the king" narrowed his eyes, as if he could see that day again.

The sun shines through the clouds from the sky, the girl who draws her sword, the face that has no regrets.

But now that I think about it, that should be the beginning of all wrong.

The place where I once pinned my hopes was the beginning of deepening the struggle and plunging the people deeper into the quagmire.

"He, he did something wrong at that time, he did not agree with the qualifications of the young man to be king, but he still knelt before King Arthur, so he was unwilling in his heart, and was naturally rejected-I think you know, a knight who does not agree with himself, but is forced to be loyal to him under the pressure of not knowing, what king in the world will agree?"

"It's so stupid... From the moment he goes against his heart, he's the stupidest bastard in the world, he doesn't understand that not doing anything will only make things worse..."

"He finally followed the king, and then followed in his footsteps, step by step, witnessing the unification of the country, and also forging his stupid name 'The Undefeated Knight of the Wind'...

The tone was full of self-contempt, full of malicious mockery, but no one could give him the opposite opinion.

It's obviously a vicious ridicule, but it sounds like it's full of helpless gloom.

Yes, because this man must have the same heart, right? But the same thoughts can't be transmitted to the distant past...

Suddenly, Huang Lu Meisha Ye seemed to see that the young man sitting on the chair with a wry smile coincided with the phantom of the long past.

"That waste, who actually lived to the unity of the kingdom, and then was named a lord... It was clear that he wasn't even a knight before that, but he became a nobleman in one breath, stupid, stupid, even his own heart was distorted, he didn't know how to be strong, he couldn't do anything, he probably didn't think about it until the end of his life, what was wrong with him, right?"

Foolish walkers, and right sages.

Black and white, like two figures like Tai Chi, swirled and distorted in Huang Lu's brain.

He seemed to see the two figures facing back, wearing the same armor, and the two Rhodes facing back...

"So..."

Rod's voice suddenly rose up, waking Huang Lu up from the trance-like phantom.

She looked at the figure that disgusted her not long ago, and suddenly realized that she didn't hate this person as her teacher so much.

"I hate that guy, although I may not explain why"

As if even talking about the man's experience disgusted the teacher of the same name, he stood up, propped his hands on the podium, and scanned the class with a sharp gaze.

"So, don't associate my name with him, it's not a request"

Huang Lu smiled.

'That couldn't be worse'

She thought so, because, she felt that the two of them were too similar.

There was no reason, but she trusted her instincts.
