Chapter 007: Breaking the Cocoon
When Simba woke up, it was late at night, and Cameron was sitting in front of his bed without sleeping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The old guy counted the thirty gold coins he had just won, and looked at Simba, who was covered in wounds, with a smile. seems to be very satisfied to see Simba's current embarrassment.
That night, Cameron gave Simba his first lesson that he had prepared. And this lesson really affected Simba's life.
"Throw away the so-called chivalry. That set can only make you lose your life on the battlefield for nothing. The world is not what you think. There's so much more to the dirty and dark side than you call chivalry. You have to learn to survive in the darkest and most treacherous environments. ”
"Don't you think those guys who beat you up are despicable. Yes, they weren't above board, but they did knock you down without much effort. You remember that on the battlefield of life and death, means and strength are equally important. No matter what you do, the one who survives in the end is the winner. And those who think they are noble basically have only one end in the end. That is to go to hell and regret why I was so stupid when I was alive. ”
Half a month later, Simba, who had recovered from his injury, was released to the town again. The stakes for the mentors also rose to twenty gold coins.
There were only two more hours before the game was over. Old man Cameron received sixty gold coins from the three mentors with bitter faces.
debuted for the second time, but Simba still planted. And this time it was planted even more miserably and more wrongly.
Simba saw an old man surrounded by seven or eight big men at the gate of the town.
The old man seemed to have just escaped here, and the big men were supposed to be the old residents of the town. is surrounding the old man, asking him to take out all the valuable things on his body.
Newcomers pay some protection fees, which is very common in Raven Town.
But Simba is very disgusted with these bullies. At that time, Simba's young heart was still full of an inexplicable sense of justice, and his self-confidence was bursting with three major professions. fantasized that he was a ranger who helped the weak with a hoe, and drew a knife to help him when he saw injustice.
Standing up from the crowd, Simba blamed several villains with righteousness.
The villains laughed, they had never encountered such a ridiculous thing. A teenage little hairy child insists on pretending to be the messenger of justice and the nemesis of the devil in this place where the wicked are gathered. Isn't that idle and idle, looking for your own smoke?
"Let's fight, I haven't tasted human sandbags for a long time anyway!" the villains excitedly gathered around Simba.
This is exactly what Simba wants, and he can finally fight in a dignified manner. He is very confident in his fighting power. And last time I suffered a loss, I was holding a belly of fire, and I wanted to vent well.
So he immediately pulled the old man behind him and hid, then drew his long sword and prepared for battle.
Yet in this damn place, things always go unexpectedly. Poor little Simba had just put on a stance, and before he could make a move, he was really slapped in the back of the head, and fell down like a dead dog, and then he was beaten for nearly half an hour.
When he was carried back to Cameron's house, he looked even worse than the last time, and it took several tutors a long time to recognize the beaten guy like a pig's head as his student.
When he woke up again, Cameron was still sitting in front of his bed. While counting the gold coins in his hand, he was given a second lesson that would affect his life.
Cameron tells Simba that it was the old man he wanted to help who attacked him from behind.
Simba was surprised, he couldn't understand why he wanted to save the old man, why did the old man help those villains against him.
"Do you know what is the most inscrutable thing in the world? I tell you, it's the human heart. Don't think that if you help others, they will definitely treat you well. There are a lot of bastards who stab them in the back. ”
"You have to learn to discern who is good and who is bad in the midst of the chaos of the world. Friends and brothers who deserve your trust. You can give your life for them. But those vile and treacherous villains. You don't give him any chance. To help them is to dig a grave for yourself. ”
"That old man is a shameless villain. You try to help him, but he thinks you're just a kid and definitely not a match for those villains. So, in order to curry favor with those villains so that he could have a better life in the future, he did not hesitate to attack those who helped him. ”
Hearing this, Simba was dumbfounded.
"The human heart, is this the human heart? Why is this happening. Is the trust and friendship between people all fake? Is the so-called justice and loyalty all fake?"
"No!" Cameron looked very serious.
"Trust and loyalty are always the noblest qualities of human beings. But you need to be very careful about judging each one. Not everyone has a noble soul. Instead, most people are selfish, dark, and mean. ”
"You have to learn to know who is the truly noble and who is the sinister villain in this complicated world. Learn the way the sinister villains think about things. Only then will you know what they will do against you and make sure that you are not harmed. “
"Wandering in hell and dealing with demons, but always maintaining a soul as pure as an angel. Only such a person can make a difference in the future. ”
Cameron's words are deeply imprinted in Simba's mind.
Severely repaired twice, and then taught twice by Cameron. Teenage Simba learns a lot. From that day on, he traveled around the town again, but he was never carried back. Although sometimes I was bruised, it was much better than the first two times.
Several mentors also didn't gamble with Cameron again, after losing twice. A couple of guys finally came to their senses. Nima Cameron was a prophet, and he certainly could have predicted the outcome of the game. What a!
For the next two years, Simba spent the next two years doing all the necessary homework every day, and when he had nothing to do, he ran out on the streets to hang out with the villains and bastards.
As for what he learned, what he did every day. Cameron didn't ask too much. He believes that with Simba's talent and wisdom, he will be able to reap the wealth that he will enjoy for a lifetime.
......
Two years later, Simba is almost fifteen years old. Years of relentless training have made him look taller and stronger than his peers. A pair of eyes that have been tempered by Aralei are as sharp and bright as falcons. Those who see him at first glance will think that he is an excellent young martial artist.
However, if you look closely, you will notice that a wicked smile flashes on his handsome cheeks from time to time. Plus the magic elves that occasionally flickered and jumped around his body. It also reminds people that this guy is an enigmatic magic apprentice. Or an elegant and noble young master who likes to play pranks.
In short, the seven-year-old kid has now become a handsome boy like a mystery that anyone can't help but look at twice.
