After hearing Mr. Draeney's words, Ryan suddenly froze.Maybe it was because of the influence of his parents, Ryan wanted to be a man since he was a child, to protect his relatives and friends, in order to do this, he must have the corresponding strength, which is also the biggest motivation for Ryan to be desperate to improve his strength.

However, all of a sudden, Mr. Delaney stood in front of him and said, "Now if you agree to my request, you will immediately get the power you have dreamed of, and you can also realize your childhood dream." How could this not make Ryan tempted? But in Ryan's heart, there was always a trace of confusion.

Ryan wants to become stronger, and has been working hard to achieve this goal, specializing in magic is boring, but Ryan is slowly finding fun, the kind of adventure with friends, growing together, and enjoying every day. But once he really put the powerful power in front of him, he no longer needed to get up hard every day to practice, no longer need to meditate hard every day, and no longer need to take risks with his friends, which made Ryan have a faint resistance in his heart.

"Since I only need to make one choice to increase my power, then if I plunge my soul into darkness, like Catherine, can't I also gain greater power? As for what to do after gaining power, it should have nothing to do with the power I have, right? With Catherine's strength, she can become a character like Guardian, benefiting her people in the position of Queen of the Empire, but she can also drag the human race back and give the undead army a chance to make a comeback. ”

"And, after such a long period of adventure, I feel that the greatest joy in life should be to enjoy the process of growing up with family and friends, rather than directly getting results. Every baby is born and he or she is going to die sooner or later, so should we just abandon him or her because he or she is going to die anyway? Isn't that a pretty funny thing?"

Draeney stood quietly in front of Ryan, waiting hopefully for Ryan to give him an affirmative answer, in recent years, Drane has felt more and more weak, which is the biggest reason why he will accept Ryan as a student, even if Ryan has similarities with him when he was younger, it is just to make Drane make up his mind.

Ryan was silent for twenty minutes before he spoke, and his first words were, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dranay, I think I'm going to refuse your kindness." ”

"What!" Draeney couldn't believe his ears, and he asked loudly, "What did you say?" ”

Ryan looked at Drane very sincerely, and said to him with his heart, "I refuse your request, I can't accept this staff. ”

"Why?"

"Teacher Dranay, I have great admiration for Master Meren and one of the Seven Heroes, Jessy, who are well-deserved heroes of mankind. And you, it is not easy for you to protect mankind alone for decades for a promise. But I couldn't do that. ”

Ryan looked up at the sky, because this is a space opened up purely by magic, so there are endless stars in the sky above this space, looking at the stars in the sky, Ryan's face suddenly became solemn: "Don't you think that this role of 'guardian' does not need to exist at all?"

"What are you talking about?Is it true that my teacher, and my 200 years of loneliness, have become worthless because of your words?" a hint of anger appeared on Draeney's face: "You can not accept this request, but you can't, you must not slander the hard work of my teacher Jiexi!"

"I have no intention of doing this, Mr. Delaney. Ryan faced Drane fearlessly, and he said eloquently: "The greatest meaning of the existence of this guardian is to protect the people of this land, protect them, and let them live as happy and happy as the ** master Melen envisioned." ”

"However, is the idea of ** Master Melen necessarily correct? Do all the people on this continent think that living such a life must be happy and joyful? No!" Ryan said his opinion seriously:

"No one can decide the fate of others, and the fate of humanity can only be in their own hands. ”

"Master Meren led us to defeat the demigod lich and drive out the army of the undead, but we don't want the fate of humanity to be in their hands. But Mellen has set up the role of guardian for his pursuit, and in doing so, isn't it tantamount to holding the fate of mankind in the hands of himself and his descendants?"

"In my hometown, near the town of Dense Mist, is the towering Hengduan Mountain Range, every spring, the eagles perched on the cliffs will mercilessly push their children out, is this cruel? No, this is for the sake of the future of those little mountain eagles, if they are sheltered under the wings of the previous generation for the rest of their lives, then how can these young eagles fight in the sky and fight against the storm?"

"A weed can thrive into a towering tree in the crevices between the stone walls, but the roses that are carefully cultivated in the nursery cannot withstand the wind and rain at all. Teacher Delaney, you and your teacher have put in a lifetime of hard work, but we have lacked the opportunity to face the weather. 200 years ago, it was Meren who defeated the demigod Lich, but what about 500 years ago? Merren wasn't born yet, was he? Who did the demigod Lich Cons lose to that time? 1000 years ago? What about 2000 years ago? Is there only one enemy in our entire human history, the demigod Lich?

"Even if I inherit the power of this guardian, will I be able to guarantee that mankind will never be violated by the demigod lich? In the past 200 years, the guardian has changed several generations, and you ask yourself whether the strength has increased or decreased compared to the original ** master Meren?

"I believe that over the past many years, you and Jiexi have secretly not known how many crises they have helped mankind solve, but human beings lack this kind of growth experience, and their strength is slowly inferior to 200 years ago, and Victor has mentioned more than once that the number of high-level magicians now is not as many as the promotions in a year at that time......"

"Therefore, it is time for mankind to sober up for itself! Although I am ignorant of national affairs, I also know what kind of predicament mankind is facing now. To the north are the orcs to recuperate, to the south are many lords with their own ghosts, and the ambitious Clay and Senat may not be able to wait for a long time, while Mochizuki City and Free Heaven remain neutral...... What is the difference between this continent and the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms hundreds of years ago? It's just that war hasn't really broken out now. ”
