Thousands of miles away, Eva, Locke and Noris' candlelit dinner is still underway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the harvest of grain in Iva has been abundant, some of the grain stored in it has also been used to make ale.

At this moment, Locke replaced a bottle of Eva-labeled ale and served Noris.

"This is our own Ale from Eva," Locke said, pouring, "from the craftsmanship of our Lordaeron winemaking family, the Kosda family." Although it is not as mellow as the dwarven ale, it still has a unique flavor. ”

Norris looked at him with a smile, enjoying the service from Locke.

"Tell me," Nollis asked Locke with a smirk, putting down her knife and fork, "are you interested in that position?!" ”

Locke, who poured the ale in his hand, paused slightly. Then, as if none of this had happened, he filled the ale in front of Noris.

"Taste it, I'm going to name it...."

However, before Locke could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Norris, who was looking at him.

Norris waved her hand, and she smiled to stop Locke from changing the subject, and she leaned on the table, looking at Locke with interest.

"Don't change the subject, I just want to know if you have an idea of that location. It's the most chaotic time in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and you still have this chance. I can help you if you really want to. ”

Norris still looked at Locke with a smile, Locke didn't make a sound, he slowly walked to his place with the wine bottle and did it, filling the glass in front of him with ale.

"If you really want to, I'll do whatever it takes—" Noris's voice kept coming to his ears as if tempting him.

"I, like everyone else, want to know if you have this idea on the heel, can you tell me?"

Norris looked at the young man across from her quietly, curious to see what he would choose. What would he do in the face of the temptation of such great power?

During this time, the air seemed to freeze, and there was no sound in the entire restaurant.

Locke took a sip of his glass, and the sound of wine breaking the suffocating scene. Then he looked at Norris across from him and said calmly, "You know what? Nollis, you're not the first person to ask me that. When we first came to Iva, I was asked. I told him at the time that our focus was still on rescuing civilians and restoring the national territory. ”

"And now?" Norris looked at him as if she were looking for a secret, and she carefully studied Locke's expression, not wanting to miss the slightest change.

Locke was a little uncomfortable by her look, he lowered his head to drink to avoid Noris's gaze, and then said softly, "Everyone has desires, and no one is an exception. ”

"For example, civilians, what they expect all day long is to have a safe living environment, a stable job, food and shelter, and that's what they want."

"Simple, right? But what if we changed his circumstances? Locke looked up at the interested Nonris, and he continued, "Let's continue along the lines of this example. ”

Locke emptied the plate in front of him, and he took a fork and forked a small piece of cheese and placed it on the plate.

"The commoner was appreciated by the king for his hard work, and he was promoted to a nobleman." Locke forked another piece of cheese and placed it on his plate, "After becoming a nobleman, the daily life of the commoner began to change, and he expected more things. ”

Locke forked pieces of cheese onto his plate, "Money, land, servants, power, status, even women." ”

When all this is satisfied, will he rest on his laurels? No! He wanted more," Locke forked the cheese on his plate, "and more land, more power, higher status, and the respect of all became his new desire." ”

"Do you understand what I mean?" Locke forked a piece of cheese and chewed it in his mouth, he looked at Norris calmly, "When a person's status reaches new heights, he breeds higher thoughts, as is the case with all intelligent beings, and desires are always endless. ”

"This, and that includes me." Locke drained the ale in his hand in one gulp, looked at the elf opposite him and said, "So, you understand?" ”

"I see." Norris picked up the ale in front of her and took a sip, "Some of my plans need to be adjusted, and I'll work on it." ”

"No, no, no, you don't have to rush at all." Locke motioned to the elven girl not to worry, he pointed to the ruins of Lordaeron in the north and said, "The heir of the Minahill family, the eldest princess Kalia, is still uncertain. If we do, we will be in a hurry. ”

"And," Locke said slowly as he looked at Norris with a smile, "I have an advantage that the other competitors don't have, and that is that I'm younger than all of them. ”

"I can wait, I can wait for a long time. 10 years, 20 years, I can wait. ”

It was as if a chain stuck in his heart had been opened, and at this moment Locke no longer concealed his innermost intentions.

Locke had to admit that he had deviated from his original intention when he first joined the Crusaders. At that time, he just wanted to change the fate of the crusaders, and had no other ideas. However, with the rise of status, all kinds of thoughts came flooding up.

In fact, after the last trial, this thought crossed Locke's mind. However, because of the complicated situation in Lordaeron and the threat of the undead, Locke chose to forbear. Coupled with the support of other people such as the Grand Commander and the Grand Lord, Locke couldn't make such a move.

But now it's different, the Grand Commander has been demonically possessed. Under his leadership, a tragic fate awaited the crusaders.

And the Great Lord...... Locke forced himself not to continue to think downward.

But he still thinks he's doing it for Lordaeron. He believed that he knew the future history and would definitely bring Lordaeron out of the quagmire.

Under his own leadership, Lordaeron will definitely take a different path!

But if you want to bring Lordaeron out of the quagmire, you must be in power by yourself, without the slightest restraint. Locke had to admit that he was a little impatient with the shackles that had been placed on him.

If you want to crush the shackles on your body, you must let history reappear..., Locke stared at the wine glass in front of him with a heavy face, and fell into deep thought.

This scene was clearly seen by Noris, who did not interrupt Locke's thoughts, but just waited for him while sipping ale.

I...

Alas.

Locke sighed, this is really a bad choice question.
