Volume 2 The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 58 The Human Heart
The Holy Warrior who was staring at Will suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and he subconsciously came back to his senses and saw Will with a gloomy face...... It was the first time he had seen Will look like this.
Then, as if sensing his unusual quietness, his companion turned back and saw Will as well...... Then, three ...... Four......
Slowly, the hall of the lords returned to its original tranquility.
When Li Meng saw his brother Will, for some reason, tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
At the end of the day, he's just a kid under ten years old...... Although due to the lack of a soul, he has a big gap in emotions and reactions to some things.
However, an honest child will also be forced to be anxious, so when he saw his brother Will suddenly stand up for himself, the desire for family affection suppressed in the depths of his heart by the barrier of the soul gradually loosened a little.
"Brother......
Li Meng just screamed timidly, and then retreated with some hesitation. And Will, who witnessed his brother's appearance, was even more angry!
The more Will returned to his room yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became......
And today, the moment he came to the lord's hall, he opened the pupil of Polya...... After that, he discovered that the soul fire of his beloved brother was as weak as a gust of wind that could be extinguished!
Will was furious, and his anger was not limited to the man who had turned his brother into this, but also the saintly warriors who had followed him and his father to make many achievements on the battlefields of Rome!
Just because, they turned a deaf ear to their brother's words!
......
Several Saint Clan warriors who were fighting fiercely in the middle of the lord's hall also slowly settled down after hearing Will's roar and feeling the atmosphere gradually becoming quieter.
They looked at Will, who had not concealed his anger, and left the almost crushed table with some glimps, bowing their heads and walking to the open space next to them.
They seem to realize that they have gone too far.
Will's cold eyes scanned the warriors in front of him.
It was only after a day that they became like this!
Yesterday, after hearing them mention that Lemon had become the son-in-law of Archduke Glia, Will felt that they had slackened......
These warriors, who were naturally led, did not know what had happened to Li Meng...... They even naively thought that Li Meng was just lucky enough to be taken by the daughter of Grand Duke Glia!
As a result, as followers of Li Meng's family, they also enjoyed everything that Li Meng brought to them......
Until under the influence of alcohol, he gradually lost his mind and took this peace of mind for granted!
Look at them, they've already worn the gift that Anne gave them yesterday!
Will glanced around, and found no one who hadn't worn the light armor suit that Anne had given him yesterday, and no one had worn the magic weapon that looked quite sharp and precious!
These soldiers, who usually regard their original weapons as more important than their lives, have completely given up their original persistence!
This can be seen from the vitality ring they wear on their fingers.
......
At this time, Hattori Chiyo and Mokage also happened to walk into the lord hall together, and when they saw the mess in the lord hall and the indifference on Will's face, they glanced at each other, and chose to stand behind Will in silence without hesitation.
Anne, who was in the high seat, finally found Will who was suppressing his anger. She didn't speak, just looked at Will with interest, as if she was expecting what her beloved Li Meng's brother would do.
Will looked back at them faintly, and then, taking a deep breath, forced his voice to become as calm as usual.
"Chiyo, Mokage, put yesterday ...... Give me the space ring that Miss Anne gave you!"
After hearing Will's order, Hattori Chiyo did not hesitate to hand over the space ring in his pocket to Will, and Mokage was only half a beat slower, and did the same as Hattori Chiyo.
Looking at the spatial ring lying quietly in his hand, emitting magical light, after confirming that the contents inside were intact and consistent, and nothing was missing, he swept his cold gaze towards the saint warriors who were dumbfounded and looking at him.
"Now, you guys, too!"
Will's tone was full of undoubtedness, if it was usual, these qualified warriors would resolutely obey orders like Hattori Chiyo and Mokage.
But now, they subconsciously either clenched their weapons, or retreated behind the crowd - none of them were willing to obey Will's orders!
β...... Will you, can you tell us why this is ......?"
A bearded Saint Clan warrior stepped forward, and with dissatisfaction on his face, he stepped forward......
Will glanced at him...... After searching his memory for a while, Will quickly confirmed the identity of this Holy Clan warrior - the strong man who had blocked him and Cui life seven years ago, and squeezed into the crowd...... He seems, called Aldo?
Will still remembers that in the past, he was a flattering smile in front of him, and a humble respect to the bone, but now......
Was it the kindness of his father and himself that made him dare to question the master he once believed?
"It's an order!"
Will's eyes grew even colder, and for a moment, he seemed to see something clearly...... One in which he only focuses on the growth of strength and ignores things...... That's the human heart!
This is also something that his father Richard has always hinted at him, but never took the initiative to mention to him.
Whether it is Mokage, or Hattori Chiyo, or leading the barbarians, together with his teacher Basso Natu, Cui Ming, who has almost returned to Ivey Province, are all partners who have formed a solid bond with him for various reasons.
However, what about the group of fellow saints in front of him?
They only know that their father is their leader, and that they are their son, their future leader......
My father's ideals are great, but seeing these people in front of him who are trying to defy his will...... There was a slight loosening of the ideas that Will had been holding on toβwere these people really worth his father's efforts to save them from the quagmire of the Council of Elders?
Although they have achieved some achievements now, however, they have forgotten the reasons for their achievements, and they have also forgotten the basis of their achievements, that is, the strength of their current high-level warriors per capita, who gave them.
An ordinary saint clan, without the help of any resources, the peak of a lifetime, may also be just an ordinary mid-level warrior, and they ......
Will suddenly felt worthless for his father...... But now is not the time to dwell on these things.
"This is my order, Aldo!"
Seeing that Aldo still looked reluctant, Will repeated what he had just said again, and this time, he said the word command emphatically.
β...... But...... This is a gift from Miss Anne...... Young Master Weir, even if your status is noble, you ...... We can't just take away the property that belongs to us for no reason!
Aldo first emphasized that the equipment on his body came from Anne's gift, and after seeing that Will was still indifferent. He gritted his teeth and began to pull at the Holy Clan warriors around him who were also unwilling to hand over their equipment.
There was a brief commotion in the crowd, and then, muttering, unevenly, but with roughly the same meaning, came out of the crowd.
"Yes, it's a gift from Miss Anne...... You don't have the right to snatch it!"
β...... Yes, didn't Lord Richard say before that when we enter our new home, we have the right to control our own property!"
"That's right, even if you are the eldest son of Lord Richard, you are not qualified to decide the ownership of our property!"
Will listened to these unconfident rebuttals, his face was still calm, but the joints of his fingers had been pinched white......
A gift from Anne, if she hadn't been looking at Leemon's face, would you have been able to enter Blackthorn Castle?
As for property autonomy, Will vaguely remembers Alder's flattering smile at him at that time, and his inner respect for Katosh after he lost his voice in his new homeland, and still longed to bury his head in the ground and kiss Katosh every time they met!
If it was any elder, even if his prestige was far less than before, in the new home of the Holy Clan, Katosh, who had been elevated in the province of Ivy Xing, asked him for these things, he should have begged bitterly, and after the plea was invalidated, he would still obediently give everything away, right?
But...... How did they get to me? And they became like this?
It's not just Alder, Will, referring to all of them!
Why?
Will asked himself how good these fighters were, eating the same meals, doing the same training, and even living together sometimes.
He and his father never enjoyed any so-called privileges...... The only privilege may be the respect that comes with being their leader.
But that's what they are doing now......
Some ideas start from an insignificant seed...... The seed will burrow into the soil of the mind, and then, at the right time, quietly emerge from the ground...... Then, delicate buds grow until they grow slowly and finally become a towering tree.
"If you insist on waiting for my orders...... Then my command is, do as Will says!"
The majestic voice fell, and all eyes looked at the entrance of the lord's hall, and Richard, whose face was also gloomy, slowly walked in!
