Volume 1, Immortal Ascension Conference, Chapter 86: The Panacea to Heal People¡¯s Hearts

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Aya obviously has her own ideas about changing people's hearts.

    Is it wrong to change people¡¯s hearts?  If so, then why does the world need enlightenment?  Isn¡¯t it okay to just let things go?  But let alone the Xiyi Continent, even in Kyushu, royal education is an indispensable part of any ruler. Isn't it natural to infect and educate people's hearts with the spirit of chivalry?

    But she was not prepared to argue with Wang Lu, because it was impossible to win the argument, and even if she won, it would be meaningless.

    And Wang Lu didn¡¯t say much, he just stopped talking. Some things are far more powerful when seen with eyes than spoken with mouth.

    This small city cannot accommodate enough people, so the next stop is Dragon City.

    Choosing Dragon City means that this month's journey is finally coming to an end. Aya is reluctant to leave now, but also feels relieved. She has vaguely understood what Wang Lu wants to do.

    However, she believes that after arriving in Dragon City, the real Bretonian knight will make him understand that the spirit of chivalry is not illusory. She believes that the former Knight of the Round Table, Bedivere, will not disappoint her.

    However, after arriving at Longcheng, what she saw and heard made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.

    Everything seems to be a replica of that remote town, except that the scale of things is larger and more orderly on the surface. But greedy people are still greedy, and corrupt people are still corrupt. The past order is broken, and the new order is established.  He puts on the cloak of chivalry, but what he does is not much different from the Holy Light Religion.

    In the past, Bretonia, the church suppressed the surrounding areas and the believers were superior to others.  Nowadays, those who are superior to others have become knights. Not long after this regime was restored, strict class barriers have taken shape. The boundaries between the knight class and the civilian class are clear, and there are also different levels within the knights.

    And different levels mean different interests. High-level knights occupy the richest land, have groups of servants, and have overwhelming power, just like the overlord of one party.

    To some extent, the new Bretonnia is better than during the Holy Light Church's rule, but in some respects, the situation is actually worse, because in the past, in order to consolidate the power, the Holy Light Church used the resources of other dioceses.  , subsidized Bretonnia, and many of the newly appointed knights quickly began to exploit it.

    The replacement of old and new regimes and the redistribution of interests are inevitable phenomena, but everything should be fair and just and beneficial to the country, the country and the country.  Aya fought in all directions in the past and tried her best to maintain the fairness of this process.  She once generously released an opponent who posed a great threat to her and was ultimately defeated, and gave him the respect he deserved.  She once severely punished those subordinates who tried to show off their power and plunder after the victory. She even set an example, treated them like a king and still maintained a simple life.

    The spirit of knights allowed her to quickly set off a storm in Bretonnia and establish an unprecedented unified regime. Although due to various reasons, the kingdom of knights fell apart soon after its establishment, she believed that Breton  Tonya's future has found its direction, at least she and those who accompany her in her struggle should know this very well.

    "Why?"

    Late at night, Aya quietly entered Bedivere's study. The Lord of Dragon City, who had just finished his day's work, and was also the current regent of Bretonnia, was shocked when he heard this and immediately stood up from the desk.

    "Aya?"

    Aya did not show her body, but asked in a cold voice: "Why?"

    She didn¡¯t say a word more, but Bedivere knew exactly where Aya¡¯s anger came from.  Just now, he finished meeting with a famous rich man in Bretonnia and promised to hand over a piece of land once controlled by the Holy Light Religion to him, together with the people on the land Compared to the Holy Light Religion, that person  Greedy and cruel rich people will only worsen the lives of people on the land.

    There are many similar things. Bedivere doesn't know how much Aya has seen, but he has no intention of covering it up.

    After a long silence, Bedivere spoke.

    ¡°Because these are necessary compromises.¡±

    "Compromise?" Aya's voice was full of loss and confusion, "You shouldn't be the person who says the word compromise so easily."

    Bedivere laughed at himself: "Isn't it? A person who has survived for more than a hundred years under the raging flames of the church is probably best at compromising. If not, I should have followed the late king more than a hundred years ago.

    This time it was Aya¡¯s turn to be silent.

    "The spirit of chivalry required me to resist until the last moment, but I couldn't bear to see everything about the late king disappear, so I compromised, and it was a series of compromises. I surrendered to opponents who shouldn't have surrendered, and fell in love with people who shouldn't have surrendered.  The woman I fell in love with gave birth to a child that should not have been born. To this day, compromise seems to have become an instinct for me. "

    Bedivere was full of emotion, but the next moment, he changed the topic and said in an unexpectedly tough manner: "But these more than a hundred years ago??, but it also made me realize that compromise is an indispensable quality for politicians. Without my compromise, there would be no Dragon City today, and there would be no Bretonia today. Aya, you are the daughter of the King of Knights.  , you tell me, is my compromise wrong?  "

    Aya¡¯s voice was a little awkward: ¡°That was then, now¡­¡±

    Bedivere shook his head: "It's the same, in fact, it's all the same. Although the rich man you just saw is tyrannical and greedy, he has strong power and strength. He was able to capture Donglin City without any blood, and he deserves the most credit.  , and what he wants is just a small piece of land and a few hundred workers, but what he wants in exchange is the lives of thousands of soldiers. So, what can I do to keep my subordinates safe?  Soldiers risk their lives? Mercy is also the basic tenet of chivalry. "

    Aya said: "You should try to change him and influence him."

    "The human heart cannot be changed." Bedivere said tiredly, "Unless we use magic to turn everyone into puppets, we must admit that the human heart is not as beautiful as we think."

    Aya was surprised that Bedivere would say something similar to Wang Lu, and for a moment she didn¡¯t know what to say.

    After a long time, Aya tried to say: "That's just because we are not strong enough"

    Bedivere became excited: "Not strong enough? Yes, I am just an ordinary Knight of the Round Table, and indeed I cannot be called strong, but isn't your father, the King of Knights, strong enough? He has never compromised in his life, so what's the result?  Was it just the infiltration of the Holy Light Religion that caused the rebellion?"

    "How can you talk like that?" Aya became angrier than ever before, "Do you want to say that myour persistence is in vain?"

    Bedivere looked at her deeply, and then said dejectedly: "Of course it is not in vain. Without the struggle of the Knight King, Bretonia would still be in disarray, fighting among itself and being bullied by others. But these are completely different things.  "

    "The strength of a country depends first on the strength of the people's hearts. People's hearts are broken, shameless, and greedy"

    However, before Aya could finish speaking, she was patted on the shoulder by Wang Lu.

    "That's enough, don't be hysterical like a literary and artistic young person."

    Aya glared at Wang Lu, and the legendary level of pressure rushed towards her. Wang Lu swayed slightly, but he refused to give in: "What, are you going to swing your sword at me? Just like you have done to the people around you.  That way?¡±

    Aya¡¯s anger condensed in an instant, and a deep chill spread throughout her body: ¡°No, I¡­¡±

    "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back."

    Wang Lu said, pushed Aya, then turned and left.

    After the two left, Bedivere's independent study room, for a long time, bent deeply in the direction of Aya.

    "Farewell, my king."

    "You made a mistake."

    On the way back, Wang Lu said to Aya: "He is no longer your subordinate. During the more than a hundred years since you were absent, he is the main pillar that truly supports the spirit of the Bretonian knights. He is the one who holds the key."  The leader who took control of the situation in Bretonia and brought the country back from division to unity in just a few months."

    "And you, you are just the daughter of the King of Knights, what qualifications do you have to scold him in front of him? Don't you understand the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young?"

    Aya was a bit dumbfounded, and even more speechless. Perhaps as she said, the changes of more than a hundred years have made it difficult for her to adapt.

    "Perhaps Bedivere has found his way, and perhaps his approach has its own reasons, but that has deviated from the spirit of chivalry."

    Wang Lu said: "Of course, because he is no longer a knight under your command, but a ruler. As a ruler, he is far more qualified than you. At least the Bretonia I saw, although  The spirit of chivalry has been distorted, but inspired by this slogan, people's hearts have indeed united, the country has indeed been revived, and unprecedented prosperity is in the near future."

    ¡°It will also be accompanied by unprecedented decay.¡±

    "This is the norm." Wang Lu said, "People's hearts are inherently black and white. Heinous people often have flashes of humanity, and saints also have unbearable selfish thoughts in their hearts. Complex people form a complex society. This is  Objective realities and laws, such as sunrise and sunset, don¡¯t be so impatient.¡±

    Aya thought for a long time, and it was clear that the confusion in her heart was knotted: "Maybe it's just because I'm not strong enough?"

    Wang Lu almost cried because of her stupidity: "With so many people, what is strong? It is said in the Xiyi Continent that in the era when gods walked the world, were those gods considered strong? But I have never heard of anyone who can educate all people and make everyone  You have become an immortal. So do you have to break through the legend, become a god, and then break through the holy world from the divine world, and then enter the supreme world from the holy world before you can return to deal with the problems of the human heart? "

    Aya was a little confused: ¡°What do you call the holy world and the supreme world??  "

    "Oh, that's content only in the expansion pack. It's too early to tell you now But in short, don't you think it's ridiculous in itself to do something that requires you to become infinitely powerful?"

    Aya was even more confused: "So I have been doing useless work all these years?"

    "How can it be in vain? Without you, there would be no Bredonia today, but today's Bredonia no longer needs you." Wang Lu smiled, "I know you don't understand, so I will  I¡¯ll explain it to you carefully. The truth is actually very simple. It¡¯s just that you wouldn¡¯t listen if I told you before, but now¡­¡±

    Aya asked seriously: "Please give me some advice."
