Chapter 261: Contradictions
The seizure of Archimedes' assets continues. Since it would take some time to wait for the results, while waiting, Dingenil continued to guide Roland in the secluded woods on how to use his abilities as a Protoss, as usual.
But for some reason, Roland was obviously a little absent-minded about this guidance, and he couldn't seem to concentrate at all.
Dingenier's brow furrowed slightly, it was obvious that he had noticed Roland's impatience. So Dingenier's tone was slightly dissatisfied, and said, "What, what do you have to say?" β
Seeing that Dingenier provoked this topic first, Roland also asked straight to the point: "If Augustine hadn't appeared in time, did you plan to just watch the king being possessed by Archimedes, just like the mage before?" "It turns out that Roland has been concerned about this matter all along.
"Yes."
Without the slightest hesitation, Dingennier dropped such a word with an expressionless face.
"Why? Do you keep disregarding the lives of others? In that case, why did you save me when Archimedes attacked me? Roland's tone became a little agitated.
"Because you are a member of the Holy Court. The Holy Court is short of manpower right now, and if you die, it won't do the Holy Court any good. So I saved you at that time. Dingenier's tone did not rise or fall as he said this. This made Roland feel that Dingeniel was really a little scary to his senses.
And Dingenier's rational and somewhat impersonal answer also made Roland feel a little unacceptable: "Hehe, is it really for the Holy Court...... Isn't there anything else in your mind but the Holy Court? Why do you always do this? It's good for you, and it's good for Lord Sharon. Do you dragon knights all treat human life like this? If that's what you call the truth of the Holy Court, then I shouldn't have joined in the first place, it's not what I wanted......"
For some reason, after listening to Roland's words, Dingenier's face suddenly changed, and even his eyes became sharp.
Roland had never seen Dingnell show such an expression before, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
Dingenier's face darkened, and he suddenly stepped forward, and then grabbed Roland's collar fiercely, which Roland hadn't expected before.
Dingenier's mood became slightly agitated, and for the first time he said to Roland in a somewhat arrogant tone: "What do you want?" Who do you think you are? The Holy Court never changes its purpose because of a small individual! You can only change your mind to accept it, not to change it! What do you know? You don't understand anything at all...... In that case, don't talk about it here! The Holy Court maintains the balance of the entire continent, and everyone in the Holy Court is risking their lives to protect the peace of this world, and everything you can see in front of you is what they have in exchange for their lives. How can you deny it with a few words of understatement...... What's more, kindness to others is the strangulation of oneself. Even if we hadn't shown up, Archimedes would have made a move against the king one day, and it was all doomed from the beginning. Even the Holy Court does not have the power to change the trajectory of history. It seems that your understanding of the Holy Court is really quite superficial and naΓ―ve, and your consciousness is far from enough! The Holy Court is not a place for you to play at home, if you can't stand this atmosphere, it's too late to quit early......"
"I don't understand, and I don't want to!" Dingenier's words just now did not convince Roland, but aroused Roland's rebellious mentality.
In addition, Roland was already dissatisfied with Dingenier in the previous incident, which made Roland's emotions become a little excited at the moment: "So? Everyone will say the truth, but have you ever stood in the other person's perspective and seriously thought about other beings in this world? You are a god high up and a famous dragon knight in the world. You have lived a pampered life since childhood, how can you understand the pain of people like us who make a living at the bottom? We work hard to survive, how can we have any ideals, we just want to live! Humanity itself is weak, and they pray day and night, not just hoping that you can help them a little? But what about you? What is your attitude towards them? Will they not be able to save their lives by raising their hands? Could it be that after a long time of being on top, you have all lost your humanity? The status of a nobleman, the heir of the family, the knight who conquered the dragon...... Could it be that these halos have blinded you, and your noble hand has disdained to help them? β
Listening to Roland's words, Dingenier was a little choked and speechless. He glanced at Roland in surprise, with an expression of disbelief. After that, his eyes instantly darkened again.
After a while, Dingenier slowly opened his mouth and whispered, "Noble? Heir? Dragon Knight ...... So, are you jealous of me? β
Roland was a little stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. At the same time, he also began to regret what he had said when he was emotional.
To be honest, when Roland learned that Dingurnier was his own brother, he still had an idea in his heart. To say that Roland has never been jealous of Dingeniel would have been unlikely.
Especially when Roland knew that Dingurnier had become a dragon knight, and had taken his place as the eldest son of the family, and that he would inherit the entire family in the future, that feeling became even stronger.
But after all, it was just Roland's momentary feeling. Although Roland sometimes felt sorry for himself, he never wanted to change anything. Because Roland knew that his younger brother was very good, so good that his brother could not reach him.
But now Dingenier suddenly brought this matter to the table, which made Roland feel somewhat difficult to face.
In fact, Roland himself couldn't tell whether the dissatisfaction and venting he had just expressed to Dingenier was also mixed with a bit of jealousy for his younger brother.
Dingenier sighed slightly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. Judging from his current expression, it is obvious that Dingenelle's mood has also fluctuated because of Roland's words just now.
After a while, Dingenier slowly spoke: "You are right, I took your place. In this matter, I am indeed sorry for you...... But even so, it has nothing to do with the purpose of the Holy See. If you can't accept such a 'harsh and indifferent' Holy Court, then as your brother, I still hope that you can quit early, and there is no need to force yourself. Fortunately, you haven't officially joined yet, and when you return to the Holy See, you can submit an application to end your relationship with the Holy See. When the time comes, you just quit. With that, Dingenier sighed slightly, and left without looking back.
Looking at Dingenier's distant back, Roland only felt that his mood was extremely complicated, as if he had a thousand words to say to Dingeniel, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he just whispered something similar to himself, "I will." But in Roland's heart, he clearly felt a trace of loss.
It seems that our brothers are not the same kind of people after all, and we will never be able to go together.
Due to a dispute with Dingeniel, Roland's practice had to be temporarily suspended.
As a result, Roland suddenly became idle, and he didn't know what to do.
And that guy Gray has been very laid-back these days. He thought that since he was about to leave Twin Moon City, he might as well take advantage of the last time he stayed in Twin Moon City to take a good walk around the city and leave some memories. At the same time, it wasn't enough for him to wander around by himself, but he insisted on dragging Roland with him.
Roland couldn't resist Gray, so he had to go with him.
