Chapter 42: Chivalry!

"In any case, your 'heart' is the most important thing, the 'truth'. After a pause, the pastor continued, "It has nothing to do with faith. Even if you don't believe anything, you'll run into similar problems. My child, do you mind if I call you that? Baron Gray. ”

"Don't mind. Gray shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go on. My baby. It's so easy to know from whose mouth it's black and what's white. However, the world is gray. Sometimes we can't even tell what's more 'grey'. It's a question of 'degree'. ”

"yes, I just want to know that!" Gray was excited.

"Very well, let's move on. The pastor shrugged his shoulders and continued, "'Degree,' at first, I thought it was a very complex issue, so complicated that I couldn't understand it. I used to be just as confused as you were. But then I found out that it's actually the simplest. Because, you just have to be obedient to yourself. ”

"Obey yourself?"

"Yes, obey your heart and follow your heart. So I just said, 'True', your heart. The world is gray and hazy. There may be many people who can tell us what to do, but after all, we need to see with our own eyes and judge with our own hearts. Why do we need 'spirit', we need 'faith', because the world is gray, and if we don't have 'spirit', if we don't have 'faith', it's easy to get lost. So we need them. ”

"I see......"

"But they're not perfect. After all, the world is also complicated. Like you said, you don't know if your actions of helping others are actually helping them. I don't know if my efforts to persuade others are actually helping others. Even, I'm worse off than you. You know what? When the kids asked me about the 'miracles,' I was actually empty-minded. ”

"'Miracles'?"

"It's holy art. The pastor gestured, "'At some point, when you need to fight the darkness, the Holy Spirit will give you the strength that belongs to you. That's what the book says, but I've never seen it. You know what I mean? As a pastor, I've never seen one, and then I'm going to preach it to others. Preach something that even I suspect. It couldn't be worse. However, my child ......"

The priest took a deep breath and looked up, looking lonely.

The candlelight shone on his cheek.

Gray listened intently, quietly waiting.

After a long pause, the pastor continued, "But, my child, if we don't do that, then there will be no enlightenment when a young man as confused as you comes to church." Maybe not everyone we help really benefit, but there will always be beneficiaries. Maybe we don't always do the right thing, but there will always be the right thing, right? If people can't get help from others, how can we expect them to help others?"

"Faith and spirit are the light in our hearts. You're right, chivalry is not what it says it is. Because the words written on paper are just the key that opens the passage to your heart. What it needs is not that you use it as a box to bind yourself into. It's about believing in it and understanding it. Perhaps everyone may have a different understanding of it, but in fact, no two people have the same view of chivalry, just as no two people have the same respect for the Holy Spirit. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is, how beautiful the world would be if everybody believed in it? Imagine if we weren't the 'me' in our own story, but the 'somebody', wouldn't you expect help?"

"We must not only have faith and spirit, and we must illuminate the darkness around us, but we must also pass on faith and spirit to others through our own actions, so that others do not have to sink in the darkness. When you fervently believe in chivalry, obey your own heart, and do what you understand, whether it is right or wrong, this in itself is already the best interpretation of chivalry. ”

With that, the priest spread his hands, straightened his back against the back of his chair, smiled, and looked at Gray quietly.

Gray also stared at him, for a long time, without any movement.

"Are you alright?" asked the black cat in a low voice.

After a few moments, Gray jerked forward, knelt down on one knee in front of the priest, and grabbed the pastor's hand. The pastor's face changed with fright.

"Thank you, Mr. Pastor, what you say is the most meaningful thing I've ever heard!"

"Oh, yes? Thankfully, my enlightenment wasn't always successful. The priest finally landed a stone in his heart, and whistled, "Are you awake now?"

"Wake up!"

"No more confused?"

"No more confusion!"

"Congratulations. The priest lovingly patted Gray on the shoulder, then took his cup.

"I have a sense of foreboding. The black cat muttered quietly.

"So, Mr. Priest, are you trying to sneak out of the castle?"

"Poof!" The water that had just been swallowed spurted out again, choking the pastor's face: "You are talking about this...... Isn't it a little too fast?"

"I just wanted to ask. ”

"Well, I'll tell you. The pastor reluctantly put down his cup and said, "Yes, I wanted to slip out." This is something that bothered me. The Bishop has written to me that the King's army will attack tonight. Miss Irene's army will be defeated, and they may storm the castle. Let me get out of here. I know that I can't leave anyone here behind, but if I tell anyone else, it would be a violation of the agreement between the Holy See and the King. Perhaps, in the near future, it will lead to a catastrophe. It's also a dilemma. So I ...... You know, I obeyed my heart. ”

"Irene will fail miserably?" Gray was stunned.

......

At this moment, ten kilometers away, Irene's army was already in a bitter battle.

Arrows of fire roared from the sky, and waves of enemy troops poured up the hills.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Irene shouted as she brandished her sword, covered in blood. Halls and Mike held their shields aloft beside them. One by one, the soldiers beside her fell, and she herself had already been hit by an arrow, but she didn't even bother to stop the bleeding.

The army has begun to crumble.

In the distance, among the many enemy guards, the king wore thick armor, rode a war horse with his head raised high, and smiled contemptuously: "Do you think it will be useful to retreat?"

The bishop in white robe rode a horse and stood behind the king and watched quietly,

With a slight wave of his hand, the king shouted, "Chase!"

"Yes!" the horses' hooves kicked up dust, and legend had it that the Golden Knights, the most elite troops of the King of China, had begun to outflank them.

......

"Yes, if there are no accidents. The priest spread his hands and said, "She's in a very bad condition, and the Bishop says she may not even make it until noon tomorrow." ”

"I have a pact with her......" Gray said dumbfounded, "no, I have to help her." ”

The next moment, he had already brushed the floor and stood up.

The priest hurriedly grabbed Gray: "Take me with you!"

"Are you going to help her too?"

"No, I just want to get out of the castle! the walls are too high for me to climb out!"

"Okay! Tenedas ——!"

......

The bony horse in the stable threw its head up sharply, kicked the stall away with a "bang", and ran away. The guards not far away were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

"Quick!" Gray grabbed the slow pastor without hesitation, threw him on the horse's back, and then turned over on his horse.

"Aren't you afraid of breaking your oath?"

"To 'obey your own heart' is a revelation from the Holy Spirit. Gray said firmly.

Riding his bone horse, Gray rushed towards the city gate.

"It's Baron Grey! he's out of town!"

"Close the gates!"

The guards screamed and fled.

Gray drove the bony horse and smashed the horse with a heavy waistcoat, lowered his posture and rushed out from under the half-closed city gate at great speed.

Shelley, who was standing on the balcony, was stunned when he saw this scene. The pastry in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".

"What should I do?"

"What else can I do?"

A large number of guards mounted their horses and rushed out of the city.

......

The mercenaries in the corner were dumbfounded.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, the guards ran more than half of it anyway. Hahahaha! Here's our chance!"

"Shut up!"

......

Running out into the empty streets of midnight, Gray let down the priest who was lying on horseback like cargo.

"How many kings are there?"

"At least thirty thousand. With a casual reply, the priest had already run away.

"Okay, I see. ”

In an uproar, a large group of heavily armed guards soon followed.

"Baron Gray, come back with us, or we'll use force!"

"What are you going to do with them?" asked the black cat.

Gray slowly turned the horse's head, drew the long sword at his waist with a "bang", and asked in a cold voice, "You want to stop me?"

In an instant, the expressions of those guards froze.

Gray, who can single-handedly take on forty-eight knights!

The head of the guard twitched the corners of his mouth, and he could only say embarrassedly: "No, I mean...... If you wish, you can go back with us...... That's probably what it means. Hahahaha, hahahaha. ”

After laughing, he lowered his voice and turned back to his subordinates and shouted, "Quick! We will follow him! You go and report to Miss Irene!"

"Yes!"

Turning his horse's head, Gray walked slowly down the street, followed by a large group of guards.

"To defeat an army of more than 30,000, I need a little help. ”

"Yes, you've evolved, from 'stupid and stupid' to 'stupid and decisive'!hahahaha!"

Yes, the long-lost knightly drama is back on the show, and it can't wait to see the big climax!
