Chapter 17: Ideals
He chose the address, made a deal with Widdy, and the next day the people from Starfall arrived.
In order to prepare for a rainy day before the unstarted catastrophe, and even more in order to add a layer of insurance, they made a renovation of Weidi's villa.
The knight acquiesced to such a thing.
"Is this the lizardman? Why don't you have a tail?" The pestle was at the gate of the castle, watching the man with rough arms pouring dirt out of the frame.
"Kid, you always ask these embarrassing questions, and he can quickly dig up the earth, isn't he very similar to the ancient lizardmen?" The teacher said helplessly, "In contrast, you should learn to throw phosphorus powder as soon as possible... No, unleash magic, that's the mark of a magician. ”
"Okay teacher, I'm talking too much." Apologize sincerely, this group of people who are at the Halloween masquerade are having a good time, and it's really too much to stir up the situation by yourself.
He turned around to leave the castle, but was stopped by the teacher, "Aren't you worried about being noticed by the people when you go out like this?" ”
"Teacher." Hearing this, he smiled, "As your disciple, I haven't worn a magic robe, is there a problem with me going out?" ”
"Oh, no problem." The teacher looked at the coarse cloth clothes, especially the hemp rope tied around his waist, and waved his hand, "But you are going to find the knight, remember to keep it mysterious." ”
This is the majesty that the mystics have always maintained, otherwise it would be worthless.
It's like a magic show.
"Try not to go out of the castle with your companions, and even if you do, at night." When Weidi saw that he had come to the field, he directly opened his mouth to warn.
"No one is a fool to survive under the watchful eye of the church." "What are you doing here?" ”
"Some of the land is too hard, and I use my sword to help the people cut it open." Weidi said.
"Don't have tools? A hoe, a rake, or a metal instrument like a plow?" Masturbation asked.
"I'm just a knight." Hearing this, Wei Di smiled bitterly, "There is not enough iron to make a short sword, where can I make those extravagant things." ”
In this chaotic era when the church is the father, the people who have mines are the big nobles, such as the king, and if a baron or an earl has it, it is also for the king.
"It's not that hard with our help." "We can look for ore, and if it has an owner, we can raid it, which is a very interesting thing." ”
"The barbarian's private mine?" The knight shook his head slightly as he thought back to what he saw in the mountains and forests, "That's all I have. ”
"Don't you think about it?" Looking at the busy farmers in the fields, "It is still in the stage of slash-and-burn cultivation, so the population of the territory cannot be improved." ”
"The whole world is cultivated in this way, and effective farming methods have been lost for hundreds of years with the collapse of empires." The knight frowned slightly, "I've already provided you with shelter, you won't have any other requirements, right?" ”
"It's not a requirement, after all, you belong to the aristocratic circle, I just want you to help me inquire when the nobles meet, who has books on souls."
"Books about the soul? That's either about God or about Satan. The knight rubbed his temples, "That's something that has been banned by the church, how can a nobleman have it." ”
"In this boring world, don't all the nobles like forbidden things?" Teaser said.
"Even if there were, I wouldn't show it to a knight." The knight smiled wryly, it involved privacy.
"All you have to do is tell me that the nobleman has a book in his collection." "I'm very interested in these ancient texts. ”
"Can't you just have some normal hobbies?" The knight frowned when he heard this, and he seemed to have caused himself a problem, in an era when only the church and the nobility had knowledge, stealing books was a common thing.
But the premise is that one nobleman can't steal from another noble, and if you do this in your own circle, you will be deprived of your fief by the lord.
"Mage, do you have ideals?" The knight felt compelled to dispel him, there was something he could do, but only after the campaign had passed.
"Ideal?" Stunned for a moment, he looked at the sky, "Do I have any ideals?" ”
"Do you have any regrets?" The knight asked.
"This life has just begun, not yet, there should be in the previous life." He thought about it carefully and said.
"Please tell me." The knight made a serious gesture and stretched out his arm to make a gesture of please.
"In my last life, I was a street worker, helping people who died alone and had no one to collect their bodies for funerals." "Because of the different types of work, my colleagues don't like to talk to me, and I don't have friends in reality, and I'm introverted, let alone submit to the way to my girlfriend, and finally I'm lonely all my life, and I shouldn't even have anyone to send after death, and my life is so meaningless, so forgotten by the world." ”
After speaking, he looked at the knight, "I'm lonely. ”
"Last life?" The knight lowered his head seriously and looked at the ground, these heretics were really not psychologically normal.
But yes, people in their right mind would go against the church.
"You may be lonely because you are not famous, otherwise there will be many people who remember you and admire you, so that both followers and admirers will appear, and you will be freed from loneliness." "Some of the famous rangers are remembered by history, and they have even won the favor of noble ladies and won a good life for themselves." ”
"It's really better to be in the limelight than to be alone for a lifetime." He nodded and said with some envy.
"Of course, that's the ideal goal, mage." The knight smiled like a sun, his long curly hair seemed to be bathed in light, and at this moment he was like a sage, "You did a good job in the Barony of Nofifi, the Dark Sage of the Brave Church and the Earth Bear, don't you think I'm thinking about leaving the Starfall Land because of your prestige?"
"That's true." Tusee nodded and smiled, "Thank you Weidi, you have awakened my life ideals, I am a dark sage, so please pay more attention to the things related to soul books." ”
"It's back again." The knight's sunny smile immediately dried up, "You already have ideals, don't waste time reading those forbidden books, achieving your life goals is the most important thing!" ”
"But hobbies can't be thrown away, and if you want to improve your reputation, your knowledge reserve is not exempt, that's a prerequisite for fame improvement, you can't let me one day, because my strength can't reach the level of fame, and be called a dark liar, right?"
