85_85536 Of course, William couldn't answer this priest's question. He understood that the teacher he was talking about, and the way, was definitely not the Father Aspen who taught him literature, nor was he the father Baron Otto, who taught him tactical applications, swordsmanship, and martial arts.

As for the "road" he said, of course, he certainly did not mean a muddy path from Chersk to Hereford.

So, in this case, William could only shake his head, and then replied sincerely: "I don't know what you mean. ”

“......”

William's sincere answer did not result in the corresponding kindness and understanding. In fact, on the contrary, Father Peter was rather dissatisfied with William's answer. He frowned—the first time William had seen anything other than a "gentle smile" on the priest's face.

Of course, now is not a good time to be surprised. It seems that the other party's "kindness" and "help" to him are based on some kind of misunderstanding that does not seem to be too good. This made William feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, I was a little nervous.

If this "misunderstanding" is also a "secret", then it is unknown whether the other party will do something unfavorable to himself in order to keep the secret?

In any case, though, William raised his vigilance and at the same time prepared to attack.

"Although the other party's divine skill level is not bad. But at such a close distance, if I launch a surprise attack, then there will still be a certain success rate. William thought to himself. At the same time, he made a dazed and confused expression on the surface, hoping to confuse the other party.

After this, Father Peter seemed slightly disappointed, but then he reappeared with a gentle smile as if in disguise: "Maybe my question is a bit abrupt, Mr. Knight. But you should know that in this dangerous, unfriendly, and ignorant world, there is hostility everywhere. If we don't unite ourselves, if we can't trust each other, then who can we rely on, who can we trust?"

"Uh...... I agree with you, but ......" William still didn't quite understand: "But I still don't understand what you mean." Perhaps it is because he feels that the other party is more "sincere" and William does not want to fight with such a master inexplicably, which is very dangerous, and there are only disadvantages and no benefits:

"But seriously, I really don't understand what you mean. ”

Maybe it was William's sincerity, or maybe it was for some other reason. All in all, Father Peter didn't do anything else. He stopped smiling and seemed to be thinking. William remained silent, waiting for him to speak again.

After a while, the other party seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face became very subtle. Most of them are surprised, and the surprise is disbelief. Then Father Peter spoke again:

"So, Mr. William, where did the agrarian reform you carried out in Chersk come from? Where did you learn that?"

“......”

William had thought many times before that someone would ask him this question. And he also did a lot of work and drills in advance. Although I hadn't thought that the first person to ask him this question would be Father Peter, as long as he answered in a pre-rehearsed way, there should be no problem.

Probably.

So William replied, "It's self-taught." ”

“...... Self-study?" This time, the other party did not seem surprised after hearing this answer. Maybe I thought about this possibility before that. So, the next step, Father Peter was silent again. This made William, who originally had the next remarks, a little panicked.

"So, your books...... Self-taught ...... Uh?" seemed to think that his request was a bit excessive, so when he said the usual, Father Peter's smile became a little awkward.

"I'm very sorry. However, those books are now missing. William replied, "Actually, it was a few years ago that I had purchased from a couple of merchants a book on agricultural science from the Dragon Nation in the East. The books themselves were already very tattered. Even more so after it got into my hands. After looking at it for a while, it's already ......" William said here and shook his head: "All in all, that's it. ”

"Oh, do you still know the language of the Dragon Kingdom in the Far East?" said Father Peter, surprised.

"Yes," William nodded. At the same time, he was secretly proud - before the upgrade and enhancement, the old version of William was not very good in other places. Only the literary skills are very good. In addition to Gothic, he has a high level of proficiency in Slavi, Centaur, Dwarven and Elven languages.

"The eldest son of the Hereford family is a linguistic genius" is not news. Therefore, if he said that he could read the script of the Dragon Kingdom, a script that is roughly the same as the ancient Chinese official script, then his credibility is relatively high.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Hearing William say this, Father Peter looked very sorry, as if he was sorry for the few books of knowledge of distant lands that William had ruined.

"Did the other party accept my statement? If not, what should I do? Do you want to strike first?" William's brain was running at high speed, thinking about the next step. On the other hand, Father Peter, who was sitting across from him, smiled with relief after a "struggle of ideas".

"I'm sorry, Mr. William. After this, he reverted to the customary, gentle smile: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here." It bothers you. I'm really sorry. ”

"It's nothing, Father. But what are you going to say? I still don't understand what you mean. William said.

"Yes, yes, what ......," the priest seemed to regain his unhurried state after resolving his only doubt: "Then let's talk about it." I think we all need to get to know each other better, Mr. William. Did you know that you are in a precarious situation right now?"

"Dangerous?" William nodded, "Of course, I certainly know that my current situation is dangerous. In fact, in this day and age, whether it is an emperor or a slave, who is not living in danger?"

"I think you must have misunderstood me. Father Peter then explained: "The danger you speak of is not the same as the danger I am talking about. ”

"Is that so?" asked William, "and what exactly is the 'danger' you are talking about?"

"Yes......" Father Peter hesitated for a moment, and then asked William, "Mr. Knight, what do you think about the present society, about this age, and about the people who live in this age?

......William smiled, and did not answer Father Peter's question directly: "Don't you think this question is ridiculous, Mr. Father, you are just a church clerk in a small place, and I, I am only a knight. The questions you are asking are too vast, and our identity and status, as well as our power, are too small. This unrealistically huge gap can not be bridged by a heart or a will. ”

"Yes. You are quite right. But is that really what you think in your heart? really, that's all you think?" asked Father Peter.

"What would it be if it weren't so?" or what do you think, Mr. Father, what do you want to sue me?"

"Is that a question? Father Peter smiled confidently: "That is, I am responsible for the world. ”

"............" William couldn't help but look surprised when Father Peter said this—he never thought that this could come out of the mouth of someone else. This coincides with what he has in mind!

"Yes, responsibility. Perhaps pleased with William's surprised expression. Father Peter's smile widened: "We, those of us who have knowledge and power, are for this foolish, this dark, this ...... The not-so-good world is responsible. We need, and it is necessary, to put an end to this qiē. We need to transform the world, this society, and we need to make the living environment and living conditions of human beings better. ”

“...... Perhaps. But ......"

Although, the words of Father Peter made William feel a little confidant. But that doesn't mean he will trust the priest immediately and unconditionally. However, his words did comfort William......

"But we are not the only people in this world who want to change the world and make it a better place. There are also ignorant people who rest on their laurels, or refuse to make any changes for their own sake. They turn a blind eye to the suffering of the world, and reject and suppress a new thing, no matter how precious or precious it is. They are born enemies of people like us. At this point, Father Peter paused, looked at William, and then said solemnly:

"This group of people, or this group of people, has a unified name.

Radiant Bishops' Conference. ”。
