Chapter 2 An extraordinary double-edged sword
"You are the well-known incompetent knight who replaces the lance with a pen, the worst student in the knightly academy, and the representative of the negative character who undermines the glory of the city of Merdes, Sarion?" said the speaker without shying away from saying all sorts of words that were detrimental to his self-esteem. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Saarion humbly bowed his head, without any indignation, and replied flatly: "My lord, I am Saarion. ”
After the speech, Charman ordered the attendants to take the last speaker, Sarion, to his room,
"Very good, able to endure what others can't bear, and the answer is quite clever, both answering my questions and avoiding my provocations" Charman narrowed his eyes, and secretly praised the young man in his heart.
"Saarion, I am Viscount Charman, one of the commanders of the palace guards, the mentor of the Four Princes, I have brought the edict of the Four Princes, and I am honored that you have been entrusted with a glorious mission, a sacred task directly issued by our esteemed Four Princes, for you to complete. Suddenly, Charman looked at the young man in front of him who was similar to the four princes, waiting for his reaction.
Sarion raised his head slightly, and looked at the fifty or sixty-year-old middle-aged man in front of him from the gap in his hair, this person looked at himself expressionlessly, and secretly screamed in his heart, after all, everyone in the entire Mandis Kingdom knew that the fourth prince was a loser who only knew how to have fun all day long, and what was the sacredness of the task assigned by such a person, and his martial arts skills were very average, no strength, no courage, and the fourth prince had no reason to name a scum like him to complete a so-called glorious task, and the only reasonable explanation was that the four princes needed a substitute for the dead, a person who had no value, and a person who was not valued at all, instead of the four princes, to do an extremely tragic thing. If you think about it this way, you can understand why the people who attended the speech today are all blonde, blue-eyed, thin and tall, because the appearance characteristics of the four princes are exactly like this.
Seeing that Sarion was a little hesitant, Charman continued to ask tentatively: "Why, don't you want to accept this glorious mission? Or do you want to refuse the kindness of the four princes, young man, not everyone has this honor, and you must know what kind of fate it is to offend the court!"
"My lord, I can serve our esteemed four princes, and this oracle was personally handed over to me by a high-ranking and powerful lord like you, I believe that this must be the favor of Lady Luck for me, and such glory can allow me to show off for my children and grandchildren for many years, how can I refuse!
Approval came out of Charlman's eyes, and his satisfaction with Sarion was beyond his expectations, and he thought to himself: "This young man is really wonderful, he has guessed the probability, but he still acts like a flattered person, not only refuses the embarrassment of offending the court, but also holds me high, and most importantly, he actually expounds the idea of wanting to live under this pressure, the glory of showing off in front of his children and grandchildren, hmph, no doubt to tell me that he himself does not want to die." Compared with those single-celled fools who shout and kill at every turn, desperate for the so-called glory, this clever and low-key young man in front of him is really commendable, knows how to be flexible, cherishes life, and the target of this trip is exactly this kind of person. ”
"Hehehe, the old thing seems to be hesitating, my words worked, thank you father, if it weren't for the fact that you have familiarized me with the scripts of stage plays on various themes since I was a child, and understood the thoughts and words of various classes, then your son will soon go to heaven to find you," Sarion felt a little lucky, maybe he had the opportunity not to be this substitute for the dead, I really didn't expect that the court was corrupt to such an extent, and a small flattery could change the mind of a nobleman.
"Sarion, let me tell you the truth, I have traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the city of Merdes, and I have chosen you to serve the four princes, which is useful. Charman changed his haughty tone and said softly.
"Oops, the old guy has run out of hard tricks, and he has started to use soft tricks again, he still hasn't changed his mind, I'm still dead, Daddy, wait for me!"
"No, no, no, young Sarion, you won't die easily, as I said earlier, there is a purpose in choosing you," Charman said in a calm tone.
"No, I didn't say anything, how does he know what I'm thinking"
"How do I know what you're thinking, because we're so similar in a sense, you're like me when I was younger, you're a smart and clever guy, so even if you don't say anything, I can know what's going on in your heart. Compared to those who only use brute force in the city of Mehrdes, a politician like me can really understand you!"
"Master, it's terrifying!"
"Don't think I'm a master, let alone think I'm terrifying, because in the future, you will be stronger than me, left and right, observant of words and feelings, good at thinking, and because of this, this task belongs to you, because only you can survive!
The two people came and went, one thought in his heart, the other said with his mouth, it was like a conversation, the arrangement of fate always came so suddenly, and it was always overwhelming. No one would have thought that today's series of exchanges would change the fate of the entire Karotya continent.
That night, Sarion lay in bed and couldn't sleep for a long time, he was still thinking about the conversation he was called by Charman alone in the afternoon, from Charman's mouth, Sarion knew the specific content of the mission, and he was similar in appearance and age to the Four Princes, and he would go to the barbarian zone as a stand-in for the Four Princes to manage the human inhabitants there, (of course, the people there didn't know that it was not the real Four Princes).
There are pros and cons to this matter, and there are pros: when he arrives, he can get a free opportunity to use his talents, lead the inhabitants of the barbarian zone to revitalize their homes, resist invasion, eliminate bandits, defeat evil, and realize the value of his life, which is equivalent to saying that this is an opportunity to rewrite his fate. Disadvantages: How can the inhabitants of the barbarian zone be so easy to lead, the perennial war and famine have made the people there extremely vicious, and there are bandits, kidnappers, pirates, and other evil organizations everywhere, so it is called the barbarian zone; and how can the invasion of foreign races be so easy to resist! The orcs, skeletons and other alien races often ravage the barbarian land, wantonly plunder and slaughter, and they are likely to die in a foreign land, as for Charman's statement that only Sarion can survive, maybe it is just a means of deception. Therefore, from all kinds of points of view, if you go to the land of barbarians, you will either return to your hometown full of glory and be admired by all the people, or you will flee back in disarray and continue to be ridiculed by others, or you will die under the sharp blade of unknown forces and races.
It's like a double-edged sword, one side of the sword leads to glory and praise, and the other side leads to death and inaction. Whether it is good or bad, the double-edged sword of fate, as long as you have the courage and determination to hold it, it will be destined to cut through everything extraordinary!
After a night of ideological warfare, in which emotion finally prevailed over reason, Sarion decided to accept the challenge before dawn broke. He himself knows how rare such an opportunity is. For the sake of his deceased father, in order to prevent the tragedy of his hometown from repeating again, no matter how many hardships and obstacles, even if he handed over his own life, he must seize this opportunity! And for some reason, there seems to be a strange emotion in the dark, calling to him in the land of barbarians.
