Chapter 266: The Responsibility of the Nobles

In the huge gladiatorial arena, there was silence.

The audience looked down in amazement, and in the tawny gladiatorial arena, gray-white spiked flowers emerged, piercing people in black leather armor.

The pointed cone is stained red.

From a distance, it looks like a porcupine's back, with a rotting black leaf falling.

More than ten stone cones pierced through Rollong's body, emerging sharp aps.

Strangely, after just a few seconds, his wound stopped bleeding.

His flesh wriggled as if it were about to clear the rock spikes.

Not only did Luo Long not die, not only did he not fall into a coma, but he lay on the flower of the stone cone, holding his head vigorously and glaring at Su Ye angrily.

His eyes were blood-red, and his mouth was panting, like a wild beast, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

All the audience could hear the sound of Luo Long's throat purring, as if someone was gulping down porridge.

Experienced nobles and magicians looked at several priests of the Temple of the God of War not far away.

After using the fanatic potion produced by the Temple of the God of War, that's it.

Su Ye looked at Luo Long.

"You are a nobleman, and many of you are also nobles, and I have heard that every nobleman has a ten-volume Book of Aristocracy written by Master Socrates. So, I have a small question, not counting magicians, which nobleman has seriously read the ten volumes of the Book of Aristocrats? After reading it, please raise your hand, as long as you can answer the questions in the book, I will recognize that you have finished reading, and then give you 10,000 gold eagles, if it is not enough, add another 10,000. ”

Su Ye looked around the audience.

Once again, the audience was silent.

There were thousands of nobles present, and not a single one raised their hand.

Some young nobles had a look of hesitation on their faces, and they had finished reading it, but they had forgotten the contents.

Palos's hand moved and lowered slightly, staring at Su Ye.

Now you owe me 20,000 Golden Eagles!

"So, who else but the nobles finished reading the Book of the Aristocrats? Please raise your hand and gesture. ”

Master Larens was the first to raise his hand.

Many of the Sanctuary Masters and a handful of Golden Mages raised their hands.

A handful of nobles looked at the magicians who raised their hands, their faces hot.

Most of the nobility was indifferent.

Many civilian spectators watched this scene with different smiles on their faces.

Only a few civilians began to think.

"It seems that the magician knows the nobility better than the noble." Su Ye said witty words, but there was no smile on his face.

Su Ye continued: "Most nobles should not have finished reading the Book of Aristocrats, it doesn't matter, I believe that most nobles should have turned the first page and should have read the first line of the book. ”

"The privileges of nobility, innate." Su Ye's voice suddenly raised.

All the nobles instinctively sat up straight and puffed out their chests, this was a word they often heard, and every time they heard it, their faces showed undisguised pride.

The same is true now.

"So, how many of you have read the last line of the last page of the tenth volume of the Book of Aristocrats?"

The nobles were stunned for a moment, and their straighten bodies collapsed slightly.

Only a handful of nobles whispered the last line of the word.

"The responsibility of the nobility, from beginning to end."

Su Ye's tone was extremely peaceful, but it resounded like thunder in the gladiatorial arena.

Many of the nobles changed their faces.

Many civilians had a blank look on their faces.

"Just look at your faces, you can see that nobles only know privileges, not responsibilities."

Many of the nobles were furious.

Some of the nobles kept glancing at the referee.

The four referees lowered their heads and counted the grains of sand on the ground.

A sneer appeared on the faces of the civilians, and a few civilians even had a look of hatred in their eyes.

However, the eyes they looked at Su Ye were extremely soft.

"Speaking of responsibility, I heard a saying in Lion Harbor that says, 'With great power comes great responsibility'. I remember that it was many sailors who were discussing this phrase at that time, and most were laughing. ”

"I remember very clearly that someone said at the time, if you have the strength, why should you take responsibility? This sentence is only used to deceive the weak, it is the self-comfort of the weak, and the real strong will never think like this. ”

"I thought his words made a lot of sense until I read those words of Master Socrates."

"The privileges of the nobility are innate; The responsibility of the nobility, from beginning to end. ”

"What this sentence really means is that some people, born with external objects and powers that most people cannot match, but if they want to continue to have these external objects and powers, they must always be responsible."

This sentence is difficult to understand. But we can imagine what would happen if a person was more powerful and irresponsible? ”

"A golden warrior who has a crush on a girl, and the girl doesn't like him. The girl is just an ordinary person, there is no power to restrain him, he is not responsible for what he does, he is not responsible for morality, he is not responsible for conscience, he is not responsible for the law, and he is not even responsible for girls, then, what will he do? I won't say the answer, everyone understands. ”

"A legendary warrior who has his eye on a city-state and wants the whole city-state to work for him, and the people of the city-state do not agree, if he is not responsible for anything, then what may he do? He only had to run around the city-state to shatter the entire city. ”

"If there is an being who is countless times more powerful than a legendary warrior, his power is so strong that wherever he passes, all worlds will be destroyed. However, he doesn't care about everyone's lives, he doesn't care about anything in the world, so will he be like a child playing with bugs, never restraining his power, walking through at will, and destroying the world at willβ€”even if he doesn't want to kill people. ”

"The situation we just talked about is just imaginary, what is the reality of the situation? The reality is that if a person's strength grows and he does not take the corresponding responsibility, it is not the world that will be destroyed, but himself! If that golden warrior really doesn't control himself, doesn't take responsibility, and does whatever he wants, he will one day be destroyed by a force stronger than him. ”

"With great power comes great responsibility, this sentence is not to protect others, but to oneself. It's to avoid losing control of yourself. Responsibility is not a constraint, just as clothing is not meant to stop us, it is to protect. ”

The audience from all over the audience had different expressions, some nodded, some were puzzled, some shook their heads, and some were thoughtful.

"If it were only here, I would still not be able to understand what Master Socrates said. It wasn't until I personally experienced Lake's death, experienced myself being poisoned, deceived, and imprisoned that I really understood this. ”

"I've had a very simple dream since I was a kid, I want to make Athens better, I want Greece to be better, I want the whole world to be better."

"When I was a kid in Lion Harbor, I always saw a lot of duels, robberies, killings, betrayals, betrayals, pain, anger, suicides...... I know very well that I can't reverse the world, but I must bring about a good change in the world, make the world a little better, even if it's just a little bit better, a little bit is enough. ”

A gentle smile appeared on Su Ye's face.

"So, I'm going to be a legendary magician and use the power of magic to make this world a little better. At first, the idea was simple, when I became a legendary mage, I would be able to change the world, so I dreamed every day and lived a confused life. As I continued to read books, and through them, I kept exchanging ideas with the most virtuous people in the world, and I suddenly noticed one thing. ”

"Those legendary masters do have great power, but they didn't have them before. So, I carefully flipped through their experiences, studied little by little, and found a strange thing, they seem to have the ability to predict the future, everything they do, it seems to be a step to the promotion of legends, they are like ordinary people climbing mountains, step by step easily ascending to the position of legend. ”

"I wondered and began to think that there must be something hidden in this. Because I have a basic principle of thinking: if something big, important that I can understand by simply thinking about it, then it must be something that I have overlooked. The reason is simple, if I could really quickly and deeply understand the essence of a big thing, I would have been at the pinnacle of humanity, rather than growing painfully. ”

"I studied what they were doing over and over again, and in the end, I found a strange phenomenon. What they do, sometimes, subverts common sense; Sometimes, they disobey their elders; Sometimes, profits are lost; Sometimes, fame is abandoned; Sometimes, the benefits are forfeited; Sometimes, it is denied...... In short, those things they do, from the point of view of ordinary people, are either done wrong or useless. But everything they do, whether it's a small thing or a big thing, has one striking thing in common. ”

"That is, everything they do is directed towards what they want most, and we can call it a spiritual goal, or an ideal, or a mission from the inside out."

"Before making a major choice, they don't think about whether they can make money, whether they can eat in the future, and what others think of them, they only think about whether this matter points to the ultimate goal of their life."

"Thinking about this, I suddenly understood. Only by doing "things that make the world a better place" can I become a legendary master. This is the legendary road of my Su industry. ”

"After thinking about it, I have a ruler in my heart, and I often use the two rulers of 'making the world a better place' and 'legendary masters' to measure myself, why do I do it? Do you want to do it? What should I do? Of course, I didn't do it well, I often forgot to use a ruler, and even used it incorrectly, but I don't want to be myself, as long as I keep using it and keep reminding myself, one day, I can do it. ”

Su Ye glanced at the somewhat confused audience and continued to speak.

"What I do for my dreams is my responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the greater the power, is the deeper essence! ”

"It's like, there is a magical mountain in this world, and there is a magical box on the top of the mountain, and you can get what you want. However, the mountain is very high, and you can only open that box if you climb the mountain. Most of us think the mountain is too high to climb. However, those masters and sages do not consider difficulties, do not consider obstacles, they only think about one thing: how to get what they want. Then, with the aim of opening the treasure chest, they climbed the mountain. ”
