Chapter 30: Confusion and New Opportunities
"The hymn of humanity is a hymn of courage, and the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage."
This is very philosophical, and Cedric can't help but chew and think about it repeatedly.
"Courage ......"
Li Yan explained in detail:
"Courage here does not mean not knowing, not understanding, and rushing forward regardless of it, that is not courage, but simply recklessness. Only by recognizing fear, facing it, accepting it, and overcoming it can we have true courage. ”
"I'll admit you've got a point." Cedric nodded, "But, after all, that's fear, and fear itself is terrifying. ”
"Of course it's terrible, otherwise it wouldn't be called fear. But I still have some experience on this point. ”
"Mr. Rien, please."
"May I ask Your Highness, will Your Highness feel fear when he holds the sword for the first time?"
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Lane's jokes, yes. Because the sword is double-edged, I'm afraid that if it is aimed at me, it will accidentally hurt me. ”
"Will it still be?"
"Not anymore. Because I'm used to it, I know how to use it and how to dodge it. ”
"So how did Your Highness overcome your fear of the sword and get to where you are now?"
"Let me think about it first."
Cedric held his chin and recalled carefully, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this issue, and it was estimated that the vast majority of martial arts practitioners hadn't thought about it either.
"I remember. At that time, I felt that I was useless and wanted to be useful, so even if I was scared, I had to force myself to practice, and I got hurt a few times because of it. Fortunately, I quickly figured out some tricks, and I didn't get hurt anymore, so I didn't have to be afraid. ”
"That's it, it's all about moving forward." Rien held up a finger, "The Swordsmith of Light has also said a word. It's human nature to stand up and step forward with fear, and it's better to be confused than to stand still. The confusion here is also suitable for fear, and this is one of the opportunities for me to control the 'power of ghosts'. ”
"I see." Cedric realized, "Back to the topic. Moving forward requires motivation, and motivation comes from a clear understanding of yourself, and when you connect all of this into a line, you can turn it into courage and overcome fear. ”
"Your Highness summed it up very well, as long as you don't stop, the road will continue to extend. It is not impossible to maintain this pace and reach the realm that martial artists dream of. ”
"The realm that a warrior dreams of."
Cedric's face showed a strong longing, the empire is martial, even the crown prince will yearn for the scenery with a view of the mountains.
"Can I do it too......"
"Your Highness is still young, anything is possible."
Lane was not really a compliment.
Cedric has really practiced martial arts with his heart for only one year, and at most he has practiced a little foundation in Vander's house before, and he can have such a skill in a year, and there is absolutely nothing to say about his talent.
If you can get out of the shadow of your heart and walk on the right path, you may not be able to step into the realm of reason. You must know that Cedric is only seventeen years old this year, and there is still a long time to polish slowly.
"What if you can't?" Cedric said stubbornly.
"That's not a loss." Li En smiled, "At least I have become stronger than my past self, and more importantly, His Highness's heart and will have become stronger." His Royal Highness is the first heir to the throne, and for the ruler, force is not so important. I don't know much about His Highness's father, His Majesty Yukent, and I can't comment on it, but Prime Minister Osborne is a good example. ”
"Prime Minister?" Cedric gave Ryan a strange look.
Maybe you already know my relationship with him, Li En thought in his heart, but his face was silent.
"Your Highness has any knowledge of Prime Minister Osborne's past."
"Know, he was part of the regular army of the Empire before he became prime minister, and was favored by Marshal Van Dijk and could be the marshal's successor. After the 'Hundred Days Campaign', he was ordered to negotiate with Liber, and was unusually promoted to the position of Imperial Prime Minister for this reason. ”
"Then has Your Highness ever heard that Osborne was one of the strongest in the regular army at the time, and his attainments in the 'Hundred Saber Technique' were even praised by Marshal Van Dyck, a recognized saber master, and he is still the object of Principal's Aurelia Branch's challenge?"
"Eh——?" Cedric opened his mouth in surprise and took a moment before he spat out, "This...... I really don't know. Marshal Van Dijk and the 'Golden Rakshasa', but, never, he was never seen to wield a saber. ”
"That's why I use him as an example, the strength of the heart is the real strength, otherwise even if you get the power, you can't control it, and in the end it will only harm others and yourself."
To be honest, Rien actually wanted to ask his biological father.
He has experienced everything he has experienced.
In the battle of Huang Magic City, Lane lost Chloe, and Dreikells also lost his most important partner, Liana Sandlot, the "Holy Daughter of the Gun" of her beloved.
After that, he was plagued by a curse for a lifetime, and after being reincarnated, he experienced the pain of losing his beloved, Ryne's biological mother, Kashya, and had to make a contract with the source of the curse, the Black Rider.
Even so, he never gave in, and on the surface, he cooperated with the ambition of the Black Rider God, secretly stirred up the storm, set up a shocking situation to solve the problem once and for all, and finally really solved it, borrowing the hand of his own son Rie.
How could such a person not understand the truths that Li En just said? How can you not see that Cedric has gone astray?
As the ancestor of the reincarnation of the empire, the greatest emperor in the history of the empire, and the legendary prime minister who shocked the world after his reincarnation, he loves the empire more than anyone else, why not correct Cedric?
That's the future emperor, the stronger he is, the more he grows, the better the future of the empire.
In order to plan for success, it is necessary to completely paralyze the consciousness of the black, so the use of Cedric as a pawn is like using his own son as a pawn?
But Cedric's own ideas will not affect the progress of the plan, he has always been the initiator of the scarlet and will participate in the confrontation and decisive battle. And Yukent III, who knew the inside story, was always on Osborne's side, and the plan was carried forward without hindrance.
Or had he decided that Cedric was not fit to be emperor, so he used this way to get him out of the game and hand him over to someone more suitable, such as Olibart or His Highness Elphin?
Since Lai En had left the world before he returned, I don't know what the follow-up development will be, so normally it should be His Royal Highness Olibat. After all, he led the final "Radiant Wings" operation, and he also stopped the "Earth Dragon", and the international popularity is very high, and when the matter is dealt with perfectly, it is bound to go to a higher level.
Although Elphin is also good, stronger than Cedric, he is far from mature compared to Oliebat.
Although Olibart seems to have said more than once that he did not want to be the emperor, it has come to that point, and Lane does not believe that he will leave the empire he loves so much to nothing.
If he had to be the emperor, it would probably be Elfin who succeeded him and Olibat who succeeded him as prime minister.
As for the previous prime minister, he had already fallen into nothingness in the decisive battle with Rian, like several others who became the initiators as "undead".
If he could, Lane hoped that none of them would die, even if they existed in this special way, it would be better than completely dissipating, because each of them was an important person in Class VII, and each of them still had important ties, and each of them did not deserve to die.
How to save them is also one of Lee's wishes, and the reversal of the future he longs for is a happy ending.
Of course, he also knew that this kind of thinking was almost fantastical, but he couldn't let it go.
However, last month, he was inspired by a proposal from Caster - let Levi, who is a Servant, become the initiator of gold, and if he can succeed, maybe he will have a new opportunity.
PS: Osborne: Son, you guessed wrong. I want you to be the emperor and make Arnoor, who is divided in two, one!
PS2: The hymn of humanity is a hymn to courage, and the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage - this is actually said by Zibelin, so it is actually Lion Zibelin, and Cedric who listens to this is Big Joe - although, neither of these ends well. That's right, the Arnoor family is actually the Josda family, with golden hair and a golden spirit, and Olibart also fits this image - I fight, eat overlord meals, and run naked, but I'm still a gentleman, and I'm the same as JOJO - although this stand-in is actually "The world"!
