Chapter 43: Small Harvest
"Huh?" Rob had just caught a fat fish and was thinking about whether it would be better to steam it or barbecue it, but he was a little caught off guard by the cold question, but the young man was very witty, and immediately said with a serious face without thinking, "I want to be a person who is beneficial to the people in the future......! And struggle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The Great Sage was amused by the magician's textbook answer, "Indeed, this is what Steines and Lords de Man have been expecting, and you should know that they have come to me to lecture you because they are afraid that you will go astray in the future. β
Speaking of this, the old man paused, and then continued, "Compared to others, your potential is too amazing, which means that if nothing else, the power you can obtain in the future will be stronger than ever, and the choices you face with great power will also be extremely difficult. β
"So, teacher, are you worried that one day I will do something that harms the interests of mankind?" the twelve-year-old Rob did not quite understand the meaning of the university scholar's words.
"No, quite the opposite. Tobias shook his head, "I'm more worried that one day you'll be kidnapped by the so-called responsibility and make decisions that don't fit your heart. β
"Huh? What does that mean. β
Tobias put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up from the ground with the help of the young man, "Whether it is Steines or I, we are actually only doing one thing in this life, and that is to make our race stronger, because only when the race is strong, the vast majority of people in this race can have enough to eat, not to be bullied, and to control their own destiny, and all the decisions we have made are actually based on this most fundamental starting point." β
The old man said, "I don't know if you have read my book "On the Rich Country" I said that the state is actually a tool used by a small group of people to manage the majority, you and I have seen the corrupt and depraved side of the upper class, the greedy and arrogant faces of those nobles, they are like aphids in the field, they do not produce but sit back and enjoy their success, when I was young, I also asked myself more than once, without these fat guys, would our world be better, would our race be stronger, but the final answer made me disappointed. β
"Whether we want to admit it or not, history is driven by a small number of people, the vast majority of ordinary people are narrow-minded, due to the limitations of their own position in the face of major historical choices they will often show varying degrees of short-sightedness, which is undoubtedly fatal to the continuation and development of a group, maybe after hundreds of thousands of years this situation will be improved, ordinary people can also receive the education of the nobility, their horizons will become more broad, everyone can think about the future, at that time everyone is the master of the country, I want to believe from the bottom of my heart that the day will eventually comeγ Tobias's words suddenly turned.
"But not now, not our time, now our race wants to become strong, we need wise monarchs, we need nobles with a sense of honor and mission, we need real heroes! β
"It used to be old people like Steines and I who used to do this job, but the old people will eventually be eliminated by history, and one day you will take the scepter from us, and we all believe that in the end you will surpass us old bones, more than other people of your time, and even those who are famous in history, and you will stand taller than anyone else, and see farther than anyone else, and I am really curious to see what magnificent scenery will appear in your eyes when that time comes. And at that time, the world in your eyes and I will inevitably be divided. β
"There will be people who will question your decision, question what you see, and even question your position, so I have only one request, no matter what choice you make in the end, you must not go against your heart. After the scholar finished the last word, he looked at Rob with a blazing gaze.
As a result, the young man was silent for a long time, and said with a sad face, "Well, I just want to ask, is it too late to jump out of the car halfway?"
............
I don't know if it's a blessing in disguise, after a wolf attack, the expedition team's next journey went surprisingly smoothly.
There were no more powerful beasts along the way, only two lynx sneakily wandering around the team, trying to pick up the unlucky guy who was unprepared, but the old thief sneaked over and wiped his neck directly, and then the world was quiet.
During this time, everyone also explored an abandoned spider cave, which contained the corpse of an adventurer, it seems that some years ago, this poor fellow was unlucky, made a dinner for the human-faced spider, and now there is only a pile of dry bones left, but Hansen adheres to the mercenary's "spirit of exploration" and still finds something valuable from the pile of bones.
Three silver coins and a pair of fine iron bracers, the silver coins are divided equally by the expedition team, and the rest of the fine iron bracers are directly distributed to Luo Luo by Hansen, everyone has no opinion on this, the fine iron bracers are the most suitable equipment for swordsmen, and there are only two swordsmen in the team, since Hansen doesn't want it, it is normal to give it to the rookie brave.
But this thing was discovered by everyone after all, according to the agreement of the previous team, if it ended up in the hands of Luo Luo, she would have to give others a certain amount of compensation, but this time everyone unanimously rejected the girl's compensation, after all, if there is no rookie brave, everyone is likely to have died in the belly of the wolf, and the expedition team is wiped out, where is there a chance to divide up the spoils?
Especially except for a cheeky guy like Hilton, the other adventurers always felt guilty for not being able to rush to rescue Luo Luo in the first place when the wolf king was likely to attack, so everyone made concessions in the matter of bracers without exception.
The final result is equivalent to Luo Luo picking up a piece of equipment on the ground for nothing, this fine iron bracer is well-made, although it has not been enchanted, it is already considered a boutique in ordinary equipment, at least worth fourteen or fifteen silver coins, far from being comparable to the pile of broken copper and iron on the rookie brave and the magician.
Lolo made a small profit when he got the bracers, and the opening of the dungeon before he even entered the dungeon was a good omen, which meant that this expedition would definitely be a full trip.
Rob really wanted to remind her that not long ago she almost made the Wolf King's snack, and this so-called good omen quasi-magister really didn't know where to start, but the rookie brave had obviously become a small fortune fan at this time, and his mind was full of how to sweep the dungeon to make a lot of money.
