Chapter 54: The Guidance of Fate
"Sir, water changes because of containers, and people change because of status and responsibility. I am no longer the same Wilhelm, because I carry Hans's wishes, so I can only move on.
A man named Arthur said to me that the reason why a man is great and has established brilliant feats in the world is not because he is great and therefore he has made merits, but because he has established great feats, so he is great.
What kind of deeds a person can establish, whether it is noble or not, does not depend on the birth, but on the behavior.
The hero, or the protagonist of an epic story, is able to be the protagonist. It's not just because I was born noble and chosen by fate, but also because when the crisis comes, and everyone can't do anything, the hero will give up who I am, only I can save, only I can protect.
The reason why God favors such great heroes is precisely because God wants to defend the people by the hands of heroes. Being a Christian means that you reign with Christ, wrestling and winning against your sin, the world, and the devil by His strength. ”
The heroes in the epic story, the so-called protagonists, and the identity of the children of destiny are not what they themselves want to be, just like standing out from the crowd, it is not obvious in peacetime, and once the crisis comes, it becomes completely different.
Achilles in Greek mythology, whose father was the son of Peleus, the hero of the world, and his mother, the immortal god Thetis, the goddess of the sea, was born with the fate of participating in the Trojan War and dying in battle.
The goddess put Achilles into the waters of the River Styx to soak him in the waters of the River Styx to make him immortal, and at the same time entrusted Lycomedes, the king of the island of Scylos, to raise Achilles as a girl.
The beautiful Achilles was as good as the king's princesses, and the Greek coalition learned of the oracle and went to King Lycomedes to look for him, but found nothing.
Eventually, Odysseus had a plan and summoned the princesses to the palace, bringing with him a shield and spear, and ordered his retinue to blow the battle horn outside, and with the sound of footsteps, it was as if the enemy had stormed the palace.
With the sound of the battle horn, the princesses in the palace panicked and fled.
Only one maiden remained in the chaotic palace.
In order to protect her beloved princesses and to show her bravery in front of them, the girl resolutely took up the spear and shield on the ground.
This man was the Achilles that Odysseus was looking for.
Born to be a big hero.
Heroic spirit may be innate, and William may not have been able to achieve such great feats as Hercules or Achilles, nor did he have the strength and courage to do so.
It's just that it doesn't matter,
This is not the age of mythology, and the heroes are gone.
A king does not need the blood of a god to be a king, and as long as you dare to fight the dragon, the evil and the devil, the great heroes of Christendom, will naturally be favored by God and favored by fate.
If the heroes who fight the darkness and evil are not favored, then who will God favor?
William's own favor of fate is not so much God's active favor, but rather his vow to defeat the dragon and fulfill his friend's wish, and fate passively favors him.
Francis the brave is even a parallel hero, but when he vows to defeat the dragon, fate favors him as well.
"Good luck then, little William."
Mr. Green finally sighed helplessly, looked at the determined William, and knew that it was useless to say anything, so he waved goodbye to William.
"Who are you and who are you here on?"
William looked at Mr. Green, who was about to leave, and couldn't help but ask.
"I am myself, no one, I only represent myself, no one represents."
Mr. Green whispered, "I am just a passing bard, and my purpose is only to record the stories of heroes in my poems, and that's all, goodbye Prince Salim, goodbye William, I look forward to you being active in your heroic tales and winning the tournament." ”
Mr. Green left directly, William was puzzled by Mr. Green's arrival, and Liam showed a thoughtful expression at this time.
The blacksmith had arrived at this point.
The blacksmith shop in Asgard looks no different from the human world, or Andaci's own blacksmith shop, and even the decoration is extremely similar, the only difference is that compared to the blacksmith shop at home, the blacksmith shop in Asgard is full of traffic, and the knights are crowded everywhere.
Blacksmithing is a high-tech profession, in the Middle Ages, when productivity was not developed, blacksmiths undoubtedly mastered the most advanced industrial technology of the era, a master who was good at making swords would become the guests of honor of the princes, and William the elder was able to build trebuchets and become a member of the high-class blacksmiths.
However, the real top of the blacksmith industry is undoubtedly the master who can forge knights' armor, and can make not only trebuchets but also cannons.
William Sr., William Sr., once said that his master would use magic to summon flame spirits to work for him, and he could even make magic weapons.
For the Church, such a master blacksmith is undoubtedly a great heresy, but for the kings, such a heresy is no less than the existence of angels, just as they used to protect astrologers, and such masters will be strictly protected.
The banner of St. Michael the God was hung in the wind outside the blacksmith's shop, and the archangel Michael, dressed in a knight's uniform, showed his wings behind his back, holding a spear and a red shield with a cross in his hand, and the symbol of a dragon was faintly visible on the veins of his clothes.
Michael's title is Godlike, the archangel mentioned in the Bible, the famous archangel, the commander of the heavenly angel legions, the Old Testament revered as the Maharaja, the victory over Satan in the form of a dragon in the Book of Revelation, and countless churches dedicated to him.
For William, the archangel was no stranger to him in his past life or in the present, because Michael was his patron angel.
Although St. George was the patron saint of the Christian army, it was difficult for St. George to protect the wars between armies of various countries, except that the Crusaders would fight in the name of the Christian army.
This is like two gangsters collectively worshipping Guan Gong before cutting each other, who Guan Gong protects, it is estimated that the gangsters are not clear, and Guan Gong himself is not clear.
Therefore, in order to avoid this trouble of St. George, not only each industry, but even each country has its own patron saint, so that even if the armies of two countries fight, they can ensure that their side can obtain the protection of the saint.
Michael was the patron angel of knights and makers of weapons and scales (blacksmiths), so Michael was his guardian angel when William was a blacksmith, and Michael was his guardian angel when he became a knight.
Even if William knew that the blacksmith would hang Michael's flag and portrait for refuge, he had to say that fate was always so wonderful, so wonderful that he felt that it was the guidance of fate.
