Verse 59: The King

Although Norman's plan had already been guessed, Gawain still wanted to be sure.

"You want Thomas to pretend to be a black-robed mage and take you to the entrance exam?"

Norman said, "Yes." ”

Really......

Gawain thinks Norman is simply sick in the head!

He is like a typical Chinese parent with the most traditional ideas facing his son with excellent grades, but this son chose to drop out of school when he was about to take the college entrance examination, and said that he was going to start a business, which made him angry, full of hatred for iron and steel, and I don't know what tendon this son is missing in his brain.

If you don't take Yangguan Road, why do you want to take the Nai He Bridge?

Gawain couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how dangerous and stupid it is for you to stay?" and your plan. Your idea is too naΓ―ve, and your plan is full of loopholes, who would trust that old drunkard of Mars to be a black-robed mage!"

Norman asked, "Before I came to CΓ‘rdenas, I didn't know an old saying, just a farmer who didn't know anything, and who would believe that I was a mage?" ”

Gawain's words froze, and he was really stopped by the example given by Norman. Fortunately, he has strong logical ability, and in an instant he figured out the concept of stealing in Norman's words, and immediately retorted: "You are different from Thomas, you have our help, and the subjects of the two things are fundamentally different and cannot be compared." ”

Norman didn't know what the "subject of things" was, but he knew that Gawain was saying that he was different from Thomas, so he asked rhetorically, "How do you know that Thomas is different from me?" Just like he doesn't know that I have you in my body, can you guarantee that he doesn't have a group of people like you in his body?"

The first stage of learning is to ask, why is there "100,000 Whys for Primary School Students" instead of "100,000 Whys for College Students". And in this aspect, Norman did a very good job.

This question stopped Gawain again.

However, Gawain is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he immediately changed the subject, "But those people from the church school are not Colin, they will easily debunk your lame deception tricks!"

Norman said, "You told me not to judge lightly about things we don't understand, and you're doing it yourself. You've never seen them at all, so how do you know they won't be like Colin?"

Gao Wen's words froze again, and he was silent for a long time, but the other mages gloated.

6666666, Mrs. Gao was asked by her own students. ”

"If you train it well, you will definitely be a debater. ”

"With the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker, this trick is slippery. ”

"Mrs. Gao was defeated by herself, and her teaching ability is too good. ”

"Don't be cowardly, Mrs. Gao, just do it!"

......

Norman's voice grew again.

These mages have a lot of ability to forget the pain after healing their scars, and this time they have already forgotten the tragic scene just now, and they all watched the excitement.

Gawain was helpless.

He knew that whatever Norman said made no sense, it was just sophistry. But Norman's sophistry was all based on what he had taught, and if Norman's sophistry was to be overthrown, it was to overthrow Gawain himself.

He really didn't know what to do.

In the end, Gawain had no choice but to ask Norman: "Why do you have to take the entrance exam for the church school? We have many ways to make you a mage, a nobleman, and you don't need to stare at this path at all." ”

"Because I'm not wrong. ”

Norman knew that this place was not a good place to stay long, so he had already begun to walk in the direction of Thomas's house, but because of the scarred relationship on his body, he walked a little slower than usual, answering Gawain's questions as he went.

"They said I was a sinner, but I thought about it and realized that I had done nothing wrong. If I listen to you and go, stop taking the entrance exams, and leave CΓ‘rdenas, it will be to give in to them and admit that I was wrong. ”

"But I'm not wrong. ”

Norman had already left the street and turned into his current street. Compared to the previous moment, the houses on both sides of the street were much lower, which allowed the moonlight to shine in smoothly and the road to walk easier.

Otherwise, his eyes are swollen and he can't see very clearly, and walking at night is really a bit choking.

"If that's right, why should I admit it?"

Norman is very stubborn and has a determined look in his eyes.

"You told me that people can play tricks, but they must have a bottom line of principles, I used to be a person without a bottom line of principles, not good. I didn't understand what you said before, but I seem to understand it now. ”

"Since it's right, then I won't admit my mistake, this is my bottom line of principles, from today onwards I am also a person with a bottom line of principles, and letting Thomas pretend to be a black-robed mage is the means. ”

"I want to use my means to maintain my bottom line of principles. ”

...... Gawain suddenly felt a headache.

He seems to be teaching a little too much, and this student of his seems to be learning things too quickly. And this time, Norman used what Gawain taught him to hit back at Gawain, which made Gawain not know how to respond.

But the most important thing is that this time Gawain really didn't know how to persuade Norman.

The current difference between him and Norman is not who is right and who is wrong, but the choice is different, he chose life, and Norman chose principle. Life and principle are two things that are one and the same, and no one can tell which is more important, just like living on knees and standing and dying, in Gawain's view, there is no high or low right or wrong, some just choose differently, so he can no longer stand on a high place and say to Norman as before, "You are wrong, listen to me".

So Gawain had no choice but to be silent and no longer speak.

Without Gawain's harassment, Norman seemed to walk faster, and walked in less than half a day before he arrived at the door of Thomas's house.

I didn't see Thomas, I should have gone into the house to sleep.

Norman thought so, leaning against the wall, and sat down little by little, and then lay down, grinning again and again in the process of implicating the sore spots.

Eventually, he lay down completely against the wall, and it didn't take long for his heavy breathing to settle down.

He entered the dream.

"The house management screen is black!"

"Pull the gate, pull the gate. ”

"Good times are always short-lived, and it's time to say goodbye to everyone, see you tomorrow!"

"Grab the landlord!"

"I can't afford it!"

"You're playing your cards too well!"

......

Norman fell asleep, and the mages in his body gradually dispersed, and no one spoke again.

It wasn't until late at night that a voice rang out.

"Unfortunately, it's only been two days since you joined, and the Knights Templar may be disbanded. ”

It was Gawain's voice, and he was still there.

It was an ordinary man's voice that replied, and it was the same man who had spoken to him twice.

"I think you're too pessimistic. ”

Gawain smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm pessimistic, but that's the case." Even if it is inferred from the available information that it is unlikely that the Father God Sect will take drastic measures, it is unlikely that something will happen sooner or later if he does this, and you are not really as naΓ―ve as he is, thinking that the largest religion of a feudal dynasty and the organization that controls the evaluation standards of mages will not recognize the truth of a black-robed mage, right?"

The voice didn't answer the question, but said, "When I was looking up the past two days, I found something interesting, would you like to hear about it?"

"Whatever. ”

"I'll send it to you. ”......

The two were silent for a long time, and I don't know how long it took for Gawain's voice to appear in Norman's mind again.

"What are we supposed to do?"

The ordinary man's voice said: "We don't have to do anything, just do what we have to do, I believe you must have heard the story of the seedlings when you were a child." ”

"Really?......"

The man seemed to see Gawain's hesitation, and he was silent.

He seemed to have something to say but didn't know how to say it, and it took a while before he finally spoke.

"Let it go, Gawain. ”

"You think that what you do is for his good, but to put it mildly, in fact, you just treat him as a pawn, as a projection of you in this world, what you want him to do, what you want him to do, you don't really respect his self-awareness, you subconsciously don't even think that he has self-awareness, today's incident is a good example. But you have to admit that as you, with me, and with us continuing to teach like this, he will gradually become like us, with his own independent personality and his three views, and then you will not be able to control him, and in fact, his values have begun to take shape. ”

"So, let it go, Gawain. ”

"It's time to rebuild our relationship with him, and don't forget the name of this organization, the Knights Templar. ”

"We're just knights,"

"He is the king. ”
