Chapter 40: Stupid Humans
Hearing Wendy's words, Cross laughed and said, "I have a lot to ask you about, Miss Wendy. ”
At this time, Nia hurriedly ran over, "Lord Cross!"
"What's wrong? ”
The healer said that Tina was in a bad state, but she couldn't figure out what caused her to do that. ”
The smile on Cross's face disappeared instantly, but he still remained calm, "Nia, don't worry too much about it first, there will be a way." ”
"My Excellency, I may try to check on the girl named Tina. ”
"You know how to heal? Trouble you, Lady Wendy. ”
"It is my pleasure to share your worries. Wendy saluted gracefully and followed Nia.
Looking at the backs of the two men, Cross smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect to meet the royal court mentor in such a remote place. ”
"With Miss Wendy's help, Lord Clos is indeed much easier. Lancelot said.
"Miss Wendy must have been quite beautiful when she was young, and you must have given me an elegant name, sir. The old alchemist was attracted by Wendy's beauty.
"It turns out that you have other interests besides alchemy. ”
After Cross said this, the three of them burst into laughter.
"Then you'll be called Randall from now on, and you feel worthy of the name Wendy. ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
It wasn't long before Wendy emerged from the healer's house and walked towards Cross, followed by a dejected Nia.
Cross suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Your Excellency Cross, can I talk to you alone?" Wendy's tone didn't feel heavy, but it didn't mean that Tina's condition was not bad, the 49-year-old Wendy didn't show sadness because of the weakness of a life, not to mention, she and Tina met for the first time, and they could only be regarded as strangers.
Cross agreed to Wendy's request, and he was prepared for the worst.
Cross followed Wendy to the harbor of Copper Mountain.
"Lord Cross, I have met many people who are different, and I have experienced many things that ordinary people cannot imagine, and I know this world better than most people.
Your performance today has manifested your extraordinary qualities, you can accept people from enemy countries, you can accept half-humans, and you can even accept sub-people.
However, you are not yet a legend, because what you have received is known to everyone.
And what I'm going to say next will definitely change your perception of the world. ”
Wendy glanced at Cross, who understood what Wendy meant.
Wendy was worried that Cross would completely deny what she was going to say, so she would use this method to test the temptation.
After listening to Wendy's words, Cross was secretly happy in his heart, he knew very well that his perception had changed dramatically, and he also knew that what Wendy said would not exceed the scope of his current cognition.
Moreover, he felt that there was no need to act in front of Wendy now, and in case he pretended to be stupid too much, Wendy might not tell the truth.
Cross's expression didn't change in the slightest, and he asked rhetorically, "Miss Wendy, there's something you're mistaken. I'm just a mortal, and, moreover, a stupid mortal.
It's because I know my stupidity that I need your help, and that's why I accept them, not my extraordinary qualities. ”
Wendy couldn't help but look at Cross, Close's serious expression did not show any humility, Wendy was sure that Cross's words just now were the most true monologue in his heart. For a moment, she felt that what she had just said was too small compared to Cross's.
As someone who once lived in the imperial capital, Wendy knew many important people in the Quesman Empire, and she also had a high opinion of them.
However, these people have never said that they are stupid, because the people around them are always complimenting them, and they themselves do have qualities that are beyond ordinary people, how can they think that they are stupid, and even those who oppose them will be mocked by them for being stupid.
However, when Wendy shares her knowledge of the world with them, Wendy becomes what they call a stupid human being, and she is even ridiculed by them as 'whimsical people are not suitable to be court mentors'.
Of course, Wendy is well aware that she is right.
So, she chose to leave the imperial capital and gave up the easy and lucrative career of court tutor.
And the reason why she said those words to test Cross was precisely because she found the similarities between Cross and those people in the imperial capital.
It has a quality that surpasses ordinary people.,At the same time, it is touted by the people around him.。 Naturally, she was apprehensive about what she was going to say next.
However, Cross's answer made Wendy's soul tremble.
How much does it take for such a good person to honestly admit his stupidity?
Wendy suddenly realizes that the teenager in front of her may really accept everything she has to say.
