"Let me tell you a story. ”

My brother is here again, Lisa laughs secretly in my heart, my brother's favorite way to explain is to tell stories, no way, who makes his sister like to listen to it. Moreover, it is said that in the ancient times of my brother's hometown, which should be regarded as the ancient times of the last civilization, people liked to express the moral through stories, which is already considered a tradition.

"There is a story in my hometown that happened in the last era of civilization (sure enough), when a sudden natural disaster and the incompetence of the monarch caused the people to live in extreme hardship, and they were almost unable to survive. Then, in time for the foreign invasion, in order to fight against the foreign enemy, heavy taxes had to be levied, and the resentment of the people, who were about to burst, finally broke out, and the hungry people who could not survive began to rise up against the monarch. ”

"It's going to die a terrible death. ”

"Well, it was really miserable at first, until a strong man stood up and rallied the hungry people and led them against tyranny, and in the eyes of the hungry people, this man was their hero, and they were proud of him. ”

Lisa stopped talking, she was already beginning to understand the analogy that Shul was trying to make.

In the end, under internal and external troubles, the incompetent monarch was finally defeated, and the monarch committed suicide, and the hero led the army of hungry people into the capital, completely ending tyranny, and was supported by all the people. ”

"A hero indeed. Lisa nodded, "Just like my brother, my brother will be like him in the future, and he will be loved and adored by everyone." ”

"I don't want to be like him. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you want to know the story after that?" said Shur with a sneer, "Eighteen days, hehe, eighteen days." The hero who killed the dragon becomes the new dragon, and the hero who overthrows the tyrant becomes the new tyrant. The hero took control of the country, but within a few days it became clear that what he had done was more brutal than the old tyrant and hurt the country and the people even more. So, eighteen days later, under the attack of foreign enemies and internal strife, the hero was forced to flee the royal capital, and finally died in the wilderness, and the name that was once admired by everyone was also spurned by everyone. ”

"This ......" Lisa was a little dazed, the first time she heard this story, the psychological gap was inevitably a little big, "Why is this happening? Is it that he hid it too well before?"

"No, in fact, according to common sense, he is not so unbearable, he can lead everyone to this point, he must have extraordinary ability, only the mind, strength, and will are the top, and he can confront a huge empire head-on. ”

"Just like my brother, they're all top-notch?"

"Heh, I should be shameless to say yes?" Shuer shook his head with a smile, "It's a pity, even the top is useless, because in the eyes of the people he is a hero, well, unilaterally regarded him as a hero." In the eyes of the people, a hero should be selfless and fearless like a saint, but he is just a mortal, he is also greedy for money, lustful, power-loving, self-aggrandizing, and will make mistakes like every mortal, the most important thing is that he can't satisfy everyone, heh, no one can satisfy everyone. As a result, the unilaterally created image collapsed, and the people, who felt that they had been deceived, were overwhelmed with anger, and naturally imagined him as extremely bad, so that the hero became a demon, and finally became a feast for wild beasts. ”

"However, the ending of the fall is mainly because of external troubles. Lisa still understands very well, "If there were no external troubles, it shouldn't be so miserable." ”

"Yes, if there is no external trouble, give him a while, maybe he can really completely replace the old dynasty, but what is the use?"

"Huh?"

He did become the new king, but he could never be a hero again. "The other story is the opposite, a powerful man who plotted all kinds of intrigues for his king, and finally defeated another rival country, and when he finally succeeded, he took the money he had seized from the treasury and quietly left his country with the beautiful woman." It must have been spurned by everyone, but on the contrary, he not only lived leisurely until his life was exhausted, but everyone remembered his exploits, admired himself, and made up stories of his deeds and sang them everywhere, even until the next era. ”

"I seem to get it. Lisa said thoughtfully, "As my brother said to that silver fool in the afternoon, sometimes taking a step back can make room for more, especially for my brother personally. ”

"That's right. Shuer nodded lightly, "Once the community is stabilized, as a single-handedly promoter of the establishment of the community, I can be regarded as half a creator, but I am actually no longer suitable to stand at the forefront." ”

"Now everyone can fully cooperate because the shadow of the end of the world is always hanging overhead, and everyone instinctively lets go of their selfishness and gives up some of their interests. However, once the danger has passed, there will inevitably be a great deal of contradictions, and if I had been in the decision-making position at that time, it would have been quite troublesome. ”

"The people of Pavatiga want me to favor Pavatiga, the Brown Star people are the key to Lord Luna's recovery of power, I hope to have the same status as Pavatiga, the followers of Lord Anika can be regarded as the strongest under the gods, I hope to have a transcendent status, what should I do then? Heh, everything is wrong, there is no right answer, I can't even forcibly suppress everyone's dissatisfaction, because I only represent Lord Luna, not all the gods, heh, after all, our goal is to hang in the night sky forever, not alone. ”

"In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that no one can satisfy everyone, let alone make everyone agree, so as long as you are not prepared to go to war, then anyone who sits in that position, each race will make its own compromises and try to understand the difficulties of the decision-makers, except for me. Because now everybody is used to the fact that I can satisfy everybody, and when they find out, and I can't, the huge gap will lead me to the kind of ending of the first example, and I don't mean being eaten by the beast, but by the collapse of the image. Only if I am not there, and there is a stark contrast between the old and new decision-makers, will make everyone miss me and always think about my strengths. ”

"If I just want power and status, of course I can continue to sit in that position, I think I can do it very steadily with my ability, but ......"

"Absolutely not. Before Shul could finish speaking, Lisa interrupted him without question, "If that's the case, then brother must retreat." ”
