58: A Just Cause
Stop Mi Shan's party...... To be precise, waiting for Y. Shan and his party were Edwin Van Cleef, the leader of the Masonry Brotherhood, and his fellow stonemasons who had to leave their homes because they were owed wages.
However, seeing that they all wore red masks and black tights, they wished that others would treat them as popular and famous clothes, and now they should be renamed "Defia Brotherhood".
Similarly, Van Cleef himself also changed into the thunderstorm suit in the game...... Misr also noticed that Van Cleef's Thunderstorm suit had some signs of the badge being torn off.
It appears that this equipment is the combat uniform worn by Van Cleef when he was still an agent in MI7.
Mi Shan is also helpless about the phenomenon that the first batch of villains faced by this group of Terran players in the game are still on the old path.
However, fortunately, judging from the standing posture of these people brought by Van Cleef, the current Defia Brotherhood has not yet gathered a large number of rogue bandits for blind expansion, and as a result, the purity of its own team has been affected.
To put it bluntly, the current Defia Brotherhood is still saved.
Miscellaneous, who hadn't wasted his saliva, said hello to Van Cleeff before opening the trunk door and rummaging through the pile of luggage.
After rummaging for a long time, Mi Shan, who found the red cover of the "XX Program", wanted to complain about why Greenhill hid this thing that would be given away sooner or later so deeply.
(Greenhill: The guiding ideology of these Rice Shans is the most precious thing, so naturally they should be placed in the safest place)
"What is this?" Van Cleef, who had most of his face hidden behind a red mask, took the tome handed over by Mishan and said strangely.
"See for yourself first, and then ask after reading." Mi Shan opened his mouth and said, "Remember to ask the key points, I won't stay too long." ”
Noticing the subtlety of Misrham's expression, Van Cleef weighed the tome with his hand, and it was very weighty—if it was all full, it would certainly be very rich.
In the original program, Mi Shan couldn't write so much even if he hollowed out his head, but more of some stories and some historical records that Mi Shan thought of...... Some of the typical records of successes and failures.
Of course, in order to avoid some unnecessary problems, Mishan changed the characters and places in it.
Curious, Van Cleef opened the red hard cover of the tome in front of him.
On the title page, three sentences are written in large lingua franca:
"Don't ask if the campfire should burn, first ask if the cold and darkness are still there."
"Don't ask whether the sword should be unsheathed, first ask if the oppression and exploitation are still there."
"Don't ask if our business will be successful, first ask if there is any injustice in this world."
The three sentences were like thunder under a clear sky, and the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, who had chanted "Our cause is justice" in the original game, shook him in place.
Beneath these three words, written by Greenhill in the most elegant round lingua franca, is a row of crooked handwriting, as if the writer had just learned how to write the lingua franca.
Because of grammatical errors, it took Edwin Van Cleef a while to understand the meaning of the phrase "a spark can start a prairie fire"
"Your Highness, is this your handwriting......" Van Cleve asked Mishan in a very strange tone.
"Is that your first question?" Mi Shan's expression froze, but he didn't deny it and said, "Yes, I just started learning the lingua franca recently." ”
"Are you just starting to learn? I see. Van Cleef didn't know what he understood, so he didn't continue to ask, but closed the tome in his hand with a very respectful gesture.
"Don't you keep reading?" Mishan wondered.
"I'll watch it, but not here, and I shouldn't be the only one." Van Cleef said solemnly.
"Well, that's good." Sensing a hint of humility and respect in Van Cleve's reaction, Mishan nodded.
It's not the humility of a foolish commoner when he sees a nobleman in a medieval setting.
Rather, it is a normal reaction when confronted with a book that records sublime thoughts.
It can be seen that the current Van Cleeff has not been as occupied by hatred as he was in the original future, and has become a vengeful ghost.
"Since you don't ask, then I won't force it." Misr said to Van Cleef, "Keep two things in mind. ”
"First: hatred can be your motivation, but not the whole of your life, maybe the ideas recorded in this book will not make you stronger, but at least you can understand what you should do."
"I'll keep that in mind, Your Highness." Van Cleef said.
"Second ......" It seems that the second sentence is the point, and Mishan paused slightly, took a deep breath, and said:
"If the future is ...... someday"
"Your masonry brotherhood has taken back the ...... you deserve"
"Farmers in the Wild West finally don't have to eat clay stew......"
"Nightshade's Night's Watch doesn't have to shiver in the darkness anymore......"
"The residents of Lakeside don't have to worry about whether they will be abandoned......"
"It's not because those nobles have a conscience, it's not because they have become good people."
"It's because you've tried...... And we will continue to work hard for this noble goal. ”
"I've been working hard for this noble goal." Because of the red mask, Mishan couldn't see what the expression of the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, who was about to change the trajectory of his life, but from the other party's trembling tone, it was easy to see his excitement.
Thinking that he had said all that he had said, Misr Shan turned around and pulled the car door to get into the car, and then said to Van Cleeff through the door:
"By the way, take off the red mask you're wearing."
"A truly just cause does not need to be concealed."
“…… You are right, Your Highness. Van Cleef, who hesitated for a moment, took off the mask on his face, and his somewhat godless face, which had been working on the hidden front for many years, revealed a hint of determination.
Van Cleef not only took off his mask himself, but also his followers.
Looking at the behavior of these members of the Brotherhood of Defia, Mishan, who decided to skin it to the end, continued:
"If you really need a sign to prove yourself...... Just embroider the cover of that book on these red masks as a flag. ”
Mishan's words made Van Cleeff look down at the cover of the tome in his hand, and at the same time, Mishan's explanation also came to his ears:
"The hammer is the mark of you stonemasons, and the scythe is the mark of the suffering farmers of the Wild West."
"Now that you've made up your mind to go to the Wild West, go unite all the forces you can."
Of course, the true meaning of these two signs is not so narrow, but Yoneshan does not intend to say it directly.
Anyway, the book has already been given to Van Cleef, and if you really want to understand it, you will definitely be able to understand it.
If you really don't want to, or you can't understand it because of the three views, Mi Shan can't help it.
He's not a babysitter for these fraternities, he's just a guide who wants a little skin.
When the G-type ATV that Rice Shan was riding in staggered away, the Fraternity members around Van Cleeff, who had never known what was going on, wondered:
"President, what did His Highness give you?"
Most of these Brotherhood members had been resurrected by Greenhill in Chapel Square, so they had great respect for both Greenhill and Missian, which is why Van Cleeff brought them here instead of alone.
"Is it giving anything?" Van Cleef touched the tome in his hand and said:
"It's a just cause."
