349: So Small (3)
If Marin's battle yesterday had been placed in the Internet era, it would not have been the next day, and it would have been spread all over the Internet that day, and it would be in a state where no matter how much it was deleted, it would not be clean.
And in this medieval world, the next night, Lady Anna was the first Sidney to know the news, and she pulled a door to look at it to make sure that nothing was missing in the group, and then left.
When he left, he glanced at Marin: "Don't carry everything alone, I married my daughters to you, not for you to treat them as vases." ”
"That's what you said." Marlin nodded.
Send this Marin away, Marin slumped on the sofa, with speckled cubs in his hands, these spirit cubs have a strong vitality, they can open their eyes to know the world after only a week of birth, and they don't know what's going on, Marin is their third favorite.
The favorite is their mother, and the second favorite is Maya.
Spare Rations lay at his feet, one right eye open, looking at the halfling standing there a little cramped.
"Tell me, what the old white man wants to say." Marin had no ill will towards the halfling - he was just a low-level wage earner in the royal intelligence service, called a D-class in their jargon, and a consumable.
"Lord Catalia said, I hope you will protect Miss Revo...... He also made a point for me to give a gift, a gift from the Queen, to Miss Revo. ”
Seeing the gift placed on the table by the guard, Marin waved his hand, and the D-class ran away with the guard.
Jessica went over and opened the box, and took out a small crown, a dagger, and a yellowed scroll.
"The crown of the little prince, the dagger of birth remembrance, and the portrait of an eight-year-old ......" Looking at the three props displayed by Jessica, Faye turned his head and glanced at Revo: "Your grandfather was really a prince, but then again, how could he leave the Duchy of Farol." ”
"My grandfather didn't say it, and I didn't know, I thought no one knew about my origins, but they remembered." Rivo's face was full of sadness: "Does it mean anything for them to give me these three things?" ”
"It's separated, as long as these three are in your hands, then the royal family of the Duchy of Farol will choose to recognize your identity, but they couldn't win Marin the day before yesterday, they should have to make this decision." Faye explains.
"But what if she gave something to Rivo and confessed her identity, what if she asserted her identity." Jessica asked curiously.
"No, I can't betray his good intentions for the sake of the so-called inheritance, and Mr. Marin helped me to shield me from the storm, Mr. Marin said that he would not hand me over to the southern nobles, so they gave the choice to Mr. Marin...... I'm the one who caused Mr. Marlin trouble. The half-breed girl sighed at this, "I shouldn't have come with me and caused trouble for everyone." ”
"Don't care about this kind of thing, since you are a friend of Faye, that is, my friend, I will not let a friend's blood be shed in vain." Marin said this, and stroked the cub on his lap: "And I have something I want to talk to you about tonight. ”
Maya, who was jerking the spots, turned her head.
Cross, who was writing the recipe, turned her attention to this direction.
Lilim, who was tending to the horns, slowed down her movements.
Matilda looked at Marlin as she tended to her longsword.
Jessica fell to the table.
Faye smiled.
"I thought about it all night last night and couldn't sleep, there's something wrong with the world." Marin paused for a moment to see that the girls continued to listen as listeners.
"I had a dream, a dream in which there is no transcendence, no chaos, and no gods in the world."
"Sounds like a new dive ...... yours," Matilda could finish her sentence when Cross grabbed her ear.
Marin continued his speech: "In that world, I live alone, everything there is good or bad, bad or not, but at least one point, everyone is mortal, and the strength will eventually be exhausted, but in that world, countless mortals gather together and work hard for a goal, can you imagine, the appearance of mortals working hard for one thing in hundreds of millions, everyone believes that a better tomorrow will eventually be realized, although that day may require the efforts of more than ten generations, or even dozens of generations, But it's so beautiful, so beautiful that I forget that it's just a dream. ”
Speaking of this, Marlin sighed.
Everything he learned, everything he heard, was for that great goal.
A fair world is like heaven on earth.
"Mr. Marin, do you want to replicate a heavenly kingdom in this world?" Matilda pricked up her big ears.
"I never wanted to force everyone to accept the kingdom of heaven in my mind, I only wanted to make the children who were powerless against their fate happy, so that they would not face hunger and cold, but what happened before made me understand that I could not do this, these old nobles had no mercy at all, and in their eyes, everything was just a bargaining chip on their way to happiness."
"Mr. Marin...... Are you ready to be a king yourself? Lilim looked at Marin, her face full of curiosity.
"No, I'm not a king, in that dream of mine, everyone is his own king." Marlin smiled and shook his head.
"So how do you pursue your dreams?" Jessica asked, "There have always been kings and nobles in this world since ancient times, and if there are no kings and nobles, who will rule the commoners?" ”
"We." Marin pointed to himself, then to the girls.
Cross shook her head: "Mr. Marin, this joke is not funny, you are you, we are us, we are women, there is a queen in this world, but there has never been a female emperor, let alone a female king." ”
"Women, like men, come into this world not to be anyone, but to be able to be." Marin looked at Cross: "Cross, have you ever thought about another path in your life, a path that you have never imagined. ”
"Yes, I used to think that I would end up living alone, and eventually lose my mind in the aberration, and then be purified...... But I got to know you, Mr. Marin, and my life has changed since then. At the mention of her fate, Cross's face was full of excitement and happiness, and she looked at Marin and said: "I understand what Mr. Marlin means, you mean that there will be a day when the child of a peasant can become a mayor, the child of a nobleman can take the path of art that he likes, and even the child of a mercenary can become a poet." ”
"But how is all this possible, the children of the peasants do not know words, the children of the nobility are good at ruling the people, the children of the mercenaries like to wield weapons, they do not have the ability to become the new identity that Cross envisions." After speaking, Faye walked up to Marin: "Marin, what are you going to do?" ”
"I thought you were going to make fun of me, Faye." Marin smiled and stretched out his hand, took the hand of the lover in front of him, and sat her down beside him.
"Why should I make fun of you, Marin, I understand your feelings, because I am first an elf, then the daughter of my human father, we are all half-bloods, we both have sharp hearts, we have come all the way, I have never seen the greed for power in your eyes, if one day, you declare war on my father and brother, it must not be because you also want to be king, but because you think they have done something wrong."
Listening to what Faye said, Marin smiled a little awkwardly: "I'm a little shy, Faye, you said me too well." ”
"No, this is our sister's point of view, what Mr. Marin did, we all watched." Lilim said, "Mr. Marin, please tell us how you have given everyone the power to change their own destiny. ”
"My solution is very simple, in fact, you all have it." Marin said.
The girls' curiosity was aroused by Marin, and they all gathered around Marin, sitting or standing in front of Marin.
Faye asks the ultimate question on behalf of everyone: "What is it?" ”
"That's knowledge, and knowledge is power." Marin looked at the girls and said.
Cross's eyes widened, "Knowledge is the power of chaos, Mr. Marlin, that's the realm of the Tongue Bird. ”
"No, that's the realm of mortals, we arm ourselves with knowledge, educate ourselves with knowledge, temper ourselves with knowledge." Marin looked at the girls in front of him: "We want every child to understand that they were not born in this world to repeat the hard path of their parents, not to let chaos deprive their souls, not to let evil enslave their bodies, everyone is born different, but the knowledge they receive is the same, they can understand how much we can adjust it, what we can do is to teach them the knowledge without reservation." ”
"I see what Mr. Marlin means." Cross, as a mage, was the first to understand Marin's thoughts: "You want to teach the children the knowledge without reservation, so that every child has the knowledge that only a sage has, so that they can understand how chaos is demagogic and how evil manipulates people's hearts." ”
"Yes, I want to teach my children the knowledge that they must resist and crush, such as chaos and evil, and I will teach them the knowledge without reservation, so that each of them will have the ability to become a mayor, a poet, and a warrior." Marin looked at the girls in front of him: "I will not force them to do jobs they don't like, and I will not ask them to pay anything for this knowledge, knowledge is valuable for the Mage Tower or elsewhere, but here for me, they are priceless. ”
"They are priceless...... "Matilda slowly reveals joy and surprise: "Knowledge is priceless, because they are worthless; And also because they are priceless. ”
"Yes, Matilda, knowledge is so to me, it is worthless in my hands, but when it is taught to children, it becomes the most precious treasure in the hearts of children." When Marin said this, he looked at the joy and surprise in the girls' eyes and nodded: "I know that my ideas are still lacking, and I haven't calculated the changes in people's hearts, but I think that everyone can understand what it means for them to come to this world, let them understand what kind of person they want to be, let them understand who will be the gravedigger of this world, and who can rest assured that they can trust their comrades-in-arms behind them...... So, can you help me? ”
Marlin held out his hand.
Matilda's hand was the first to put into Marin's hand, and she smiled very happily after Maya and Faye: "To be able to help such a Mr. Marin must be the greatest compliment given to me by my lord, I will definitely help Mr. Marin, a heaven on earth, it is really as beautiful as a dream." ”
Faye's hand also put it up: "Too good things sound alarming, so I want to look at you, my Marin, if one day, you lose your heart, or are tempted by power, I will definitely cut off your head......" Speaking of this, she kissed Marin's face: "Until then, please let me be by your side, let us work towards the same goal." ”
"I'm very happy to be able to help my brother, and I don't know much about what my brother said, but I will help my brother so that every child can have enough to eat in a world, which is great." Maya cocked her tail happily after speaking.
"I think...... I think it's good, though I don't quite understand how it all works, but it's really good, so count me in, Mr. Marin. Jessica put her hand down.
The girls' attention was on Lilim.
The little lamb wiped his hands clean, and then put his hand on the top: "I am very excited at the thought that my child will be able to use his knowledge to become a mayor in the future. ”
"Thank you, I'll do my best to accomplish all this, we may have opponents." Marin looked at the girls.
"Then defeat them." They replied in a swaggering manner.
"Maybe we'll have enemies too."
"Then destroy them." The girls spoke in unison.
"Perhaps, our loved ones will also become enemies." Marin looked at the girls, he was afraid, afraid that they would make a different choice.
"I am your wife, and your enemy is my enemy." Faye was the first to speak.
"If my family thinks you're wrong...... I will be miserable to lose them, but I will have no regrets, because the Mr. Marin I am following will be the greatest man in the world. Jessica said.
And her words were unanimously agreed by the girls.
"Okay, let's ...... Change the world. ”
