Book 6 The Tribes Count 27 Mortal Desires
Xu Zheng listened in awe, such an ideal is undoubtedly admirable. I don't want to be a king, but I stand at the height of the king to take care of all beings, the elf girl in front of me not only has a good look, but also a broad heart, she deserves to be a competent elf princess, but she is much stronger than the second prince who was born as a little savage.
With a straight look, he said, "Since you have such lofty ideals, I don't want to be polite to you." As you can probably see, this time we came to the door on our own initiative, and challenging the elves' talents is just an excuse. ”
Xing Badai was stunned and asked, "I can probably guess, but I can't see what your main purpose is." ”
Xu Zheng said: "Our purpose is very simple, we want to make friends with the elf clan. ”
"Make a friend?" Star Bardai smiled lightly, "Aren't humans strong enough?" I've seen a lot of people who try to put the iron hooves of war and plunder into the territory of the elves under the slogan of making friends. Do you think I can believe it?"
Xu Zheng shook his head and said, "Not all human beings are the same, if human beings only have that dark side, the history of human beings would not have developed to this day." Please turn your head to the girl named Emiel, and tell me that all humans are the same. ”
Starbadet turned her head to see that Emel was laughing happily, talking to the elves around her. This girl didn't know how to write the word reserved, laughing while talking, and kept pointing and pointing, using rich body movements to increase her persuasiveness, just like spitting stars to increase her lethality. Such a face, sincere and innocent, with a bright smile without the slightest trace of dirt, is not beautiful enough, but you can't turn your eyes when you look at it.
Starbadet shook her head: "She's good, but she doesn't represent all humans." ”
"Yes. Xu Zheng said: "But at least it may prove that not everything in human beings is bad." There are also some people who love life. He loves life, loves nature, and is willing to coexist with other races on the continent of Aris. I had no other desires, much less the land of the elves, as my education told me. The territory of all communities is sacrosanct. I just sincerely want the elves to make friends, and I admire your style and bones, and I hope to give me convenience in some small things. We're just starting to gain a foothold in the Discord Continent, there's a small manor at the end of Dragon's Throat, and it's all just beginning, no money, no food. I earnestly hope that the land of the elves can establish a trade route and give us a little space for development and survival. ”
If I am a shrewd leader, I will take advantage of this time to extinguish a possible crisis. ”
"You won't. Xu Zheng shook his head.
"Why?" Xing Badai looked at Xu Zheng dissatisfied: "Elves are not a warlike race, but they are not a race that does not know how to protect themselves. ”
"Still won't. Xu Zheng smiled: "You will not harm lives for the sake of possible crises." ”
"Who said that?" said Starbard. "Don't think we won't shoot arrows at humans. ”
"If you want to let it go, you will order it to be released, we will not be allowed to sing and dance here, and there will be a chance to come...... I guess you think I'm bewitching you. ”
Star Badel wrinkled her nose with a cute action. The long ears jumped up and down a few times, confirming that Xu Zheng had not guessed wrong, and she was exactly what she thought.
Xu Zheng smiled lightly, this elf princess is really cute, a little tempered, but it doesn't affect her cuteness. "We just need a convenient trade route to avoid the elven settlements. Remote, uninhabited trails are all available. If you don't like to see humans, I can guarantee that our entry and exit will be so slight that you won't notice it if you're not careful. ”
Starbadet wasn't impressed, but just asked, "Who are we referring to?"
Xu Zheng explained, "We mean about twenty humans, a magic envoy, a demonic beast and some orcs. Well, maybe not some, it's a lot of orcs, it depends on how many troops there are later. ”
Starbadai was surprised, "You live with orcs?" Starbade was surprised to see humans who treated orcs as equals for the first time.
Xu Zheng nodded and said, "There are tiger clans, dog clans, and leopard clans, and there are only these three races at present." "I also explained the matter in the rock city of the Western Continent.
Xing Ba Dai pondered for a long time, raised her face to look at Xu Zheng, and said, "You want to impress me with my sympathy for the orcs? Do you think you can convince me?"
Xu Zheng nodded honestly and said, "I think I can." ”
Starbadet chuckled and asked, "How are you different from those humans?"
Xu Zheng was dumbfounded, and only replied after a long time: "To be honest, I can't answer this question." Maybe I'm not much different from the people you're talking about. Maybe I'm too different from them. He laughed self-deprecatingly: "I don't think there are many people with experience like mine." ”
"I don't have any big ideals, such as dreaming of standing at the height of the Elven King like you and taking care of the plants and people in my territory. Originally, I just wanted to live my life well, to taste all the tastes of life, to have friends to love, to have friends to love me, to have relatives around me, to have relatives to accompany me, to have people who love me to accompany me through my life, and to have people I love who can make me give everything. When I get old, I hope to have a full house of children and grandchildren, and a big family that can be lively every day. I don't expect to have legendary stories to tell my children and grandchildren, but I want to have ordinary and warm trivia to tell them, and I hope that I will have countless fond memories of the sunset. ”
"That's what I thought. Until one day, I accidentally mentioned that an envoy said to me, why don't you build your own city?"
"I didn't think much about it at the time, because for someone like me who has no big ambitions, this is too far away for me to do. ”
"But I don't know why, after coming out of the Warcraft Forest to Zion, from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, after seeing a lot of things, especially the situation between the various races, the idea of building a city is deeply rooted in my mind. It's like a feeling, as if something precious is flashing in front of your eyes, and all you have to do is hold on to it. ”
"I'm not afraid you don't believe it, my friends have a lot of non-human races. In the history of mankind, it is too unbearable to tell them, and the people who write history erase their great achievements in order to highlight the excellence of mankind. After getting to know them, I learned that the legend is not credible, it is so mixed with water that I can't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes. And the friends I know, every one of them is worthy of my good love, cherish, each of them is my precious thing, I really feel very happy to have them!"
"However, the status quo of the continent of Aris is unjust. For example, even if you are powerful, you are no match for humans, so you can only shrink into your own territory, guarding what remains. I think that in the depths of your hearts, there is also a wish that the elves can live on the continent of Aris on an equal footing. The sky and the earth belong to every race, and no matter which race, everyone has the right to step on it!"
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I don't have an ideal myself, but my friends gave me one together." It is to build a peaceful, happy and prosperous place where every race, no matter who it is, can live well. No one discriminates against whom, no one oppresses anyone, and there is no such thing as a master and a slave. Where, everyone is a citizen of Aris, and everyone is an equal and independent individual. And I'm going to try to make it a home for everyone, and I even have a name for it, it's called home, and everyone who comes here can use it as a home!"
Xing Badai was greatly moved when she heard this, and looked at Xu Zheng in a daze with a pair of elf eyes.
Yes, at this moment, she felt that this human teenager was very different. It is correct to say that he has no ambition, and there are few human beings who do not claim to be kings and hegemons and plunder others to achieve their own goals, but this person does not. To say that he was ambitious is also correct, and to want to build a city as he described, especially when the races do not interact with each other, and the human race sits too big, and discriminates against other races, it is a bit of an impossible wish.
But he stood there and talked eloquently, with a confident and leisurely expression, which was very convincing. Suddenly, Star Badai had the illusion that he wasn't just as old as he looked.
Humans are different from elves, elves have a long time to grow, and change is extremely slow, not much in a hundred years. Normal ordinary humans only have a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and the passage of time can be clearly expressed in their bodies.
The boy in front of him looked to be about eighteen years old at most, and the shallow fuzz on his upper lip confirmed this suspicion. But that leisurely expression is like an old man in the twilight, sadness and reminiscence, youth and ideals, extremely contradictory things mixed with his face, forming a unique charm.
At this time, he was smiling shallowly, looking at himself levelly, the moonlight cast down, shining into his clear black eyes, and when he looked straight to the end, Xing Badai could see his own shadow from his pupils. He just stood casually, his black hair hanging down his shoulders, and the hair on the back of his head was shiny and soft because of its length. The few handfuls of forehead wings curled up revealed the real hair quality, which turned out to be stubborn and unruly.
