"Child, no matter how much you learn from me, I want you to always remember one thing.

In this world, everything follows the principle of equivalent exchange.

When you gain something, be prepared to lose something.

The same is true of the human heart.

If you want to gain a person's sincerity, you also need to pay the same sincerity.

The human heart can be the cheapest thing in the world, or it can be the most priceless thing in the world.

There are always some mediocre people in this world.

They go to great lengths to give people what they feel precious, giving up their dignity, giving up their backbones, feeling that they have given all their sincerity, but they can't get anything in exchange.

Because, when they give up their dignity and backbone, their sincerity becomes cheaper.

And cheap sincerity, naturally, can only be exchanged for the same cheap thing.

And all this I teach you is to make your heart priceless. ”

In the courtyard of Hartna's house near the fjord.

Hart sat on the armchair, looking at the calm fjord and the ships docked on the fjord, feeling the breeze blowing, and calmly admonished Arthur in front of him.

Arthur silently memorized what he had said, and then he said.

"The teacher said that the human heart is a very complex thing."

Hart's eyelids twitched slightly, and he smiled.

"You are also human, and you also have a human heart.

So, do you think your mind is a very complicated thing? ”

Arthur fell silent, and he thought for a moment.

"I don't know but I feel. I shouldn't be complicated. ”

"When you look at people's hearts with complex eyes, people's hearts are also complicated.

On the contrary, when you look at people's hearts with simple eyes, people's hearts will be simple. ”

Hart looked into the distance with a deep gaze and continued.

"In this world, there are too many insincere and helpless things.

In order to deal with these helplessness, people have no choice but to set up a wall outside people's hearts and put an invisible mask on their faces.

People who are disgusted with themselves, but who are powerful and flattering.

Express dislike for things you love but can't be known about.

So, you may see people who are friendly on the outside, but dirty on the inside.

And some people who seem to be fierce and vicious are extremely pure in their hearts.

But "

Hart looked at Arthur, "Is this because of the complexity of the human heart?" ”

Arthur fell silent, feeling as if he understood something, but there was no systematic explanation.

"It's because the world is complicated, kid."

Arthur's eyes opened slightly, and Hart's words were like a lightning bolt in his mind, and he seemed to understand something.

Then, Hart continued.

"But the world is simple."

Arthur looked at him with some confusion.

Hart turned his head and looked at the fjord on one side.

"Look at this fjord, it is connected to a vast sea, endless and choppy.

But do you know how the sea is formed?

Countless droplets of water converge into streams, streams converge into rivers, and rivers converge into seas.

The same is true of human society, which is a vast ocean of countless people.

Human beings are integrated, yet independent.

There are as many kinds of human hearts as there are individuals, and these different human hearts are the reason why the world has become more complicated.

And as individuals in this society, in the process of getting along with other individuals, people also need to change themselves, and the increasingly complex ideas, to deal with the hearts of those different individuals.

So, you should also understand. ”

Hart pondered for a moment and continued, "The human heart is complicated by the world, and the world is complicated by the human heart.

You need to get back to the basics.

Why do people need to deal with the hearts of the rest?

And why live in such a complex society? ”

"Because of desire."

At this moment, Arthur was no longer unable to answer, but answered according to Hart's train of thought.

"Yes, it's desire." Hart's gaze was deep, "Food, sleep, power, women, money.

and a sense of self-esteem.

All the desires that human beings possess are the root of human action and the root of the human heart.

The so-called desire is the thirst of the soul. ”

He looked at Arthur, his eyes flickering, "And to quench the thirst of others' hearts, you can easily control the hearts of others." ”

Arthur nodded thoughtfully.

"Char said that Arthur can learn a lot from you, and now it seems that he is indeed not mistaken."

At this time, a voice from the side caught their attention.

Hart turned his head, and then he saw a black cat walking towards them with graceful cat steps.

Just when Hart thought that the voice he was hearing should be an illusion, he heard the black cat speak.

"You're Hart Valentine, aren't you?"

Hart's eyes widened slightly.

"Isabel!" Arthur got up from his seat and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"Come and see you."

Isabel's cat body gradually turned into a figure, a black curly hair was placed casually on her shoulders, and a simple black robe, but even so, it could not hide the nobility of her body.

She ignored Arthur and looked at Hart, her chin slightly raised.

"My name is Isabel zu Britannia."

Hearing this surname, which was exactly the same as the name of the country, Hart's pupils shrank slightly.

That was three years ago, and he never dreamed of meeting someone.

However, he is not the same now as he was three years ago.

He quickly eased his mind, got up from his position, bowed to Isabel, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I've seen Her Majesty."

Isabel slowly raised her right hand.

Hart quickly took his right hand and kissed it on the back of her hand like a dragonfly, then lowered his hand and took a step back.

Kissing the back of the monarch's hand is an act of respect and allegiance.

Isabel withdrew her hand and sat down in Arthur's place without any extra words.

For some reason, Arthur saw something different from the king in Isabel's body.

Pride?

No, more like some kind of special majesty.

He had seen a similar momentum in Hart, and he was not angry.

Just sitting there and not saying a word makes you feel oppressive.

She looked at Hart, "Help us prepare a ship, I'm going to take Arthur to the imperial capital." ”

"But."

"I've already told him." Isabel said, "Now, Arthur will be taught by me." ”

Only then did Hart react, where did the inexplicable familiarity he just feel come from.

Although the angel beside Mr. Char was better looking than the empress in front of him, the empress in front of him was very similar to the angel.

Could it be said.

Mr. Char and the angel are the ancestors of the Britannian royal family!

Hart's heart was filled with turmoil, and he felt as if he had learned some terrible secret.

There was a glimmer in his eyes, and he quickly thought of the sword in the stone that was still inserted in the imperial capital, and also guessed the reason why Isabel wanted to bring Arthur to the imperial capital.

In the past few years, people from all over the country have flocked to the high platform to draw the sword in the stone, but no one has succeeded.

With the failures again and again, the popularity of the sword in the stone also stopped a little during this time.

However, as the war further expanded and the plague spread in the south, people became more and more eager for the appearance of the legendary Holy King.

The country is in great need of a strong leader.

"I see." Hart said, "I'll make arrangements for you right now, so that you can get to the imperial capital as quickly as possible." ”

As he spoke, he shouted out into the courtyard.

"Dan, come in."

A moment later, a man in black walked in, leaning his ear to his mouth, and Hart whispered a few words.

Dan withdrew from the place.

A moment later, a ship docked in the harbor sailed over and docked near the courtyard.

Dan walked in again and whispered, "The ship has been arranged, do you want to leave today?" ”

"Let's go today." Isabel said, "Time waits for no one. ”

Hart nodded, and he looked at Arthur, his eyes deep and serene.

"Go, kid, if you find the answer you are looking for, then send someone to me, and I can help you with everything.

It's time for this stupid war to end. ”

He looked at Dan, "You also follow him to the imperial capital, on the way, follow all the orders of this lady." ”

"Yes." Dan nodded.

Arthur nodded, and after saying goodbye to Hart, he left the courtyard with Isabel and boarded the boat under Dan's guidance.

Although Arthur still doesn't know what's going on, since Isabel came to inform him, it was naturally Char's meaning.

He has always trusted Char.

As they boarded the ship, the boatman, who had been waiting for orders on the ship, also raised the sails at Dan's order, and controlled the ship to sail into the distance.

The ship was supposed to trade in the Mediterranean, so it was well stocked for a months' voyage.

The ship slowly sailed away from the fjord, into the ocean, and along the coastline in the direction of the imperial capital.

"Raise all the sails." Isabel said to Dan beside her.

Although there were some doubts, the godfather had already explained before he came, and he obeyed all her orders.

So, he still faced the side of the karate.

"Raise all the sails."

The sailor looked at Dan with some doubts, "Sir, it's not a tailwind now, the wind direction is a little skewed, just use a shangman, the crosssail will affect the speed." ”

Dan also looked at Isabel.

"Rise up." Isabel said.

Seeing this, Dan also looked at the sailor with a helpless sigh, "Rise up." ”

The sailor also let out a breath of turbidity a little depressed, he had lived for so long, but it was not that he had never seen this kind of layman instructing insiders, and he felt that as long as all the sails were raised, the speed would be faster.

However, a small person like him can't change the minds of these big people, so he can only follow them.

At most, he waited for the facts to prove his claim, and he would just collect the sails again.

Thinking about it, he began to beckon the rest of the sailors to begin to put away the sails, which slowly rose, and the breeze blew the sails, affecting the direction of the ship.

The sailor controlled the schooner and tried to adjust it, and quickly adjusted the direction of the ship, and then he looked at Isabel with some helplessness.

It's like, you see, that's what I said, right?

However, Isabel's expression did not change, only to see that she slowly spoke, spitting out an unknown syllable, as if from an ancient language, a green light that was imperceptible to the naked eye spread from her body.

Under the stunned gaze of the sailors and Dan around him.

The direction of the wind began to change at this moment.

The original oblique breeze turned into a tailwind, and the wind was very strong, and the straight pusher ship was speeding in the direction of the imperial capital!

Before they could come to their senses, they heard Isabel say.

"The rest of the way will be a tailwind."

Then, she took Arthur into the cabin.

The sailors were left with bewildered and shocked faces.

In all their years of sailing, they had never encountered such a strange thing.

In a word, the direction of the wind has changed.

They turned their gaze to Dan, but apparently, Dan was also in shock and couldn't give an answer.

But then, he remembered Arthur's miracle.

There is something strange about this woman related to Arthur, and it seems to be a very normal thing.

"Will we meet the teacher in the imperial capital?

In the cabin of the ship, Arthur asked Isabelle.

"I don't know if he's going to show up." Isabel said with a gloomy look, "But I think he will definitely appear in front of you in the near future." ”

"Mr. Hart said that if I go to the imperial capital, I will be able to end this war." Arthur was a little confused, "Why?" ”

"You'll know when you get there."

"Char said it too." Arthur whispered, "I will find all the answers I want in the imperial capital." ”

Arthur looked out the window at the rough waves, the boats rising and falling with the waves, the gentle breeze mixed with the saltiness of the sea, and the seagulls soaring and dancing on the waves.

For some reason, Arthur's heart was churning with the ups and downs of the raging waves
