Chapter 31: Modar's Thoughts

After saying goodbye to Tia and Xia, Ao Xingfeng casually packed up and prepared to embark on the journey, when Modal, who had finished the meeting, walked over.

"Your Majesty, the Chrono Teleporter is ready for you. Modal said as he bent down.

"Well, I have something to tell you, as you said, Tartarus is in a terrible situation right now, and after I get rid of the spies in Sintia City, I will go directly to Tartarus, and I will leave this matter to you. Ao Xingfeng said with his hands in his hands.

Modar was shocked when he heard this, and then said, "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous for you to go to Tartarus alone, not to mention that there is already an enemy there, and even Tartarus's loyalty is a problem." ”

Ao Xingfeng sighed and said, "Alas, why are you always suspicious of them? You are now the Knight King, and you are no longer the former head of the Templar Order, don't always be so hostile to these dark creatures, which is tantamount to pushing them to the villains of the World Alliance." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm justβ€”" Modar was speechless, as Ao Xingfeng said, although he thought he was a knight king, his standard of conduct was still the standard of the head of the Templar Order, and he hated all dark creatures, whether they were good or bad.

"I don't want you to really like the dark creatures, but at the very least, you can't take your anger out on the dark creatures who haven't made a mistake, not to mention that the undead have become one with us, have you ever mentioned the crimes of these undead? After Ao Xingfeng left this sentence, he left.

Modal walked to the edge of the corridor, raised his head to look at the afternoon sky, and sighed, he was already old, not only in terms of age, he could clearly feel the passage of his strength, but also aware of his rigid thinking, he should have retired a long time ago, and he had already done so, but because the entire Templar Order was in great danger, he had to continue to force himself as an umbrella for the Templar Order.

With the Holy Envoy as a backer, the status of their Knights Templar can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, no longer the thugs of the Irene Holy See, but the nobles of the Knights of St. Gast, and the decision-making layer of the Knights of St. Gast.

Upgraded from a regimental commander to a vassal king, this change really made Modar unable to adapt, his life was always running on the front line of confrontation with various cults and dark creatures, and he also mobilized various knights and grand knights to deal with the countries, but he really couldn't do it to govern a territory himself.

Modar has learned a lot, and also requires all the knights and grand knights to add the homework of governing the country, but he has to admit that he is too old to accept new knowledge, and only when he lays out his strategy will he feel that he is back on his home turf.

The figure sitting on the guardrail of the corridor became more and more lonely and lonely, and endless sorrow filled his heart.

Arthur, who was holding the basic book in his arms, happened to pass by this corridor, and at some point his gray hair had completely turned white, and the lonely back pierced his heart deeply.

"Commander... What's wrong with you?" Arthur asked with concern, it was not a secret that the head of Modal was old in the Templar Order, but they had experienced too many things and were too chaotic for them to forget this obvious fact, as a knight who was cared for by the head of the group, Arthur asked himself if there were so many favors owed to the head of the group, so much that I am afraid that I will never be able to pay it back.

Hearing the footsteps before, Modar knew who was coming, and he knew very well the footsteps of every knight captain in the Order, Arthur, who he once thought was his best successor, but now... Now everything is different, Arthur, like him, is a big man who can only fight, and he doesn't know anything about how to govern the kingdom, but Arthur's advantage is that he is still young and has a lot of time to learn.

"Come, O Arthur, come and sit with me. Saying that, Modal vacated a place, and Arthur was not pretentious, stepping out of the guardrail and sitting side by side with Modal.

For the Knights Templar and Grand Knights, Modar was a very special being, more like their father than the captain, and like their best friend rather than boss, Modar cared about their future and their safety, and was also their best person to confide in.

"Alas, the years are not forgiving. Modal suddenly sighed, Arthur didn't know what Modar meant, but he still picked up the conversation: "Commander, why did you suddenly say that?"

"Arthur, do you think I'm old?" Modal asked without answering.

Arthur replied: "The head of the regiment is not old at all, you are still very young in mind. ”

"Hahaha. ”

Modal shook his head and smiled, and then said lightly: "I'm old, it's time to hand over the stage to you young people, this is your time." ”

Arthur was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Commander, what are you talking nonsense, without you, I am afraid we would have been annexed long ago." ”

"No, Arthur, you listen to me, I'm really old, I had the idea of abdicating a long time ago, but what happened later really didn't allow us a chance to breathe, but now it's different, with the leadership of the Holy Envoy, His Majesty the Supreme King, I can finally take a breath, and now St. Gast has stabilized, although the big war is ahead, but this is also your chance. Modal patted Arthur on the shoulder, calming Arthur's nerves.

"Commander, you are the Knight King of the Holy Envoy's command, and even the Holy Envoy agrees with your abilities, why do you despise yourself and think that you are too old to take on great responsibilities?" Arthur persuaded with a sad face.

Modar sighed and said: "Since I became the head of the Templar Order, this has been sitting for 40 years, and for these 40 years I have only thought about how to deal with the dark creatures, and now I can't change it anymore, and continuing to sit in the position of the Knight King is equivalent to living up to the Holy Envoy's expectations of me, and my way of doing things can no longer be used." ”

"The Holy Envoy once told me that no one is born evil, everything is due to circumstances. Although I don't completely agree with this point of view, I have to admit that some of the inhabitants in the darkness are indeed not bad, but after so many years of habit, my first thought when I saw dark creatures was to eradicate them, Arthur, in fact, this world is not a black and white world. ”

"Someone who has done something bad doesn't mean that his heart is also evil, it's more because it's a last resort, you're still young, and you can change your senses for dark creatures, but I can't, it's better to leave it to you than to stay in this position for bad things. The more Modar spoke, the more determined his eyes became, and his abdication was a foregone conclusion.
