009. The meaning of freedom
When he saw Talos again the next day, Richard already knew his identity, son of Sandra, Lord of the Black Sea!
Because of this, he felt very strange about the fact that Talos was practicing his martial arts on the deck early in the morning.
As a member of the Parker family of Lysa Castle in the Rhine Kingdom, Richard has seen many powerful children whose styles and habits are not very "noble".
They spend their time and energy on women, hunting, drunken feasts, and other playthings, as if those were all there is to life.
Richard could not comprehend their debauchery and style, as well as their overly optimistic and blind estimation of the future, and if they did not have a skill, they would have done nothing more than the wealth and power they inherited from their fathers as fat, seductive and unoffensive lambs in the eyes of others.
Of course, Richard also couldn't understand the phenomenon in front of him, the other extreme of those noble children.
Standing before him, O goddess of wealth, was the youngest son of the famous Black Sea Lord, the son of two great pros, who had been said to have subdued Helwig last night and left in a hurry.
So, is it really necessary to be so demanding of yourself?
Although only a day has passed since he boarded the ship, it is not difficult to find through the details that most of Talos's time is spent practicing martial arts.
What made Richard even more unacceptable was that this young Naga was still a dominant bloodline who had just activated the bloodline of the Underworld Whale!
If you want the human blood knight to say, even if Talos is just an ordinary apprentice swordsman, there will be a lot of girls who like him.
What's more, Naga is a typical matriarchal society, and it is as normal for many women to chase one male as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
It's hard for Talos to ignore Richard, who has been full of curiosity since the morning, but for some reason he has been talking about it, and he looks like he's about to go crazy with a huge curiosity.
"Thank goodness you've finally noticed me. ”
Richard carefully organized his words, and he sincerely hoped that the next question would not cause any offense to the Naga in front of him, whose deep background and extraordinary family background forced his words to be the most rigorous.
"Well, I'm just curious, yes, just plain curious, and I have no other intention of snooping into your privacy or inner thoughts...... I mean ......"
"Huh?" Talos never had much patience with others.
"Okay—" Richard finally chose to give up the aristocratic tone that was extremely unsuitable for him, and asked directly, "You have such an outstanding family background and status, why do you still require yourself to practice martial arts so strictly?"
The god of order and knighthood can testify that if it weren't for his uncle's threat of inheritance, Richard would never have set foot on the path of a bloodline knight, and his original dream was to be a businessman, which is what he likes and is good at.
As a result, he was even more unable to comprehend Talos's actions.
In other words, if he is the son of the Lord of the Black Sea, he will definitely become a standard gentleman very naturally, because it is too easy.
In the Golden Empire, there is a proverb that says that all roads lead to Miro (the capital of the empire), which means that there is more than one way to do something, and there is more than one path of life waiting to be discovered.
But know that some people were born directly in Miró, and not only that, but they also have a large castle with a golden splendor.
There is no doubt that in Richard's opinion, Talos is one of the lucky ones who was born directly in Miró, and can enjoy the material luxuries and the aura of his family parents at any time.
In the future, marrying the same beautiful woman with outstanding family background and excellent strength, Naga, life is so perfect that even the most picky person can't say a word badly.
However, Talos's answer was not at all the same as Richard had imagined, and the young Naga sighed in anguish, unspeakably sad.
"You can't understand it. ”
"I ...... Try to understand as much as you can. ”
"I have a cousin who is a dominant bloodline, and my sister told me that there are many members of the family who pursue him, and who also duel in private to decide the right to happiness in the end. ”
That's a good thing, Richard, who hasn't really hooked up with a beautiful woman until now, thought blankly.
If he had to describe the situation in Talos's mouth in one word, it would be "happiness".
"Later I found out that I was also a dominant bloodliner. At that moment, I felt an extreme sense of urgency and crisis. ”
"I see, because you and your cousin are both of the dominant blood......" Richard gestured to suggest that the relationship was not in harmony and that there was a lot of fighting.
This makes sense, whether it is a human, an elf, a Naga, or an orc, the contradiction between the initial mating, reproductive instinct and possessiveness is always irreconcilable, and even if they are cousins, they cannot take a step back in the face of women.
Only the strongest can emerge victorious in this war of "courtship"!
"Of course not, I mean that if I don't practice my martial arts skills and improve my strength, my cousin's today will be my tomorrow - being treated as the winner of a duel by a group of Naga and forced to accept a marriage arranged by the family and parents, understand?"
"Isn't that bad?" asked the Knight of the Human Beauty Bloodline cautiously.
He couldn't understand Talos' way of thinking, and what could be more fun and proud than a group of women fighting because of you?
"If you're kidding me, then congratulations, you've made it. If not, it only means that your vision is as limited by secular confinement and traditional shackles as they are. ”
Talos looked at Richard with disgust, as if he was sincerely sad for his superficiality: "I don't want to expect you to use that round thing around your neck to experience that if you don't have enough strength, your marriage will not be autonomous, and you will become a family elder under the arrangement of your parents' family in the future, or the helplessness and despair of some other position." ”
"But......" The human bloodline knight shook his head helplessly and desperately.
He felt the need to redefine Naga's brain circuits and way of thinking, because the distress in the young Naga's mouth up to now was all the same that he had longed for and envied.
"I guess you can't understand a person's determination to take control of the future, and the yearning for freedom. ”
