    In response to Aya's sincere inquiry, Wang Lu rarely took off his usual calm expression and became a little embarrassed.

    "Actually, I can't even talk about giving advice. I have never been omniscient and omnipotent. I just happen to be in the situation you are in I have witnessed a similar situation with my own eyes, so I can refer to it. What I said is not necessarily correct.  , but it should be of reference value.¡±

    Aya listened carefully.

    Wang Lu said: "Bredonia doesn't need you now. It's the same as when your kingdom fell apart. The country and society are a complex whole, composed of many different people and different classes. As a  Ruler, you cannot directly influence every individual. You have led troops to fight, and you should know that no matter how wonderful the strategy is, it can only be implemented through subtle tactics. In war, execution is difficult.  Your intentions are the officers, but when it comes to governing the country, it is the bureaucrats who carry out your intentions. What you really need to face is not everyone in Bretonia, but the bureaucrats closest to your class."

    Aya couldn't help but retort: ??"There shouldn't be such an obvious distinction between people"

    Wang Lu said: "I know that you are the founder of the Knights of the Round Table system, and you have always advocated equality for everyone. But even at the peak of the Knights of the Round Table, how many people were there? There are thousands of qualified knights in Bretonnia  Wan, how big of a table do you have to accommodate everyone? After all, the only people you have direct contact with are the hundreds of people in front of the round table. They are your right-hand men in ruling this country, but you don't care about their interests. "

    "People's hearts are driven by profit. Knights who follow you certainly have faith, but they are not gods and cannot live by faith alone. They also want to live and enjoy. In addition, as professionals, they need massive resources to  It is the instinct of a human being to make oneself stronger. Of course, I know that you are a king with an almost perfect personality, but you cannot ask everyone to be like you - otherwise there will be no one in this world.  Something.¡±

    Aya rarely reacted to this burden, but listened silently and carefully.

    Wang Lu continued: "The knights follow you because they hope to benefit from following you. They long for honor and achievements, and they also long for treatment consistent with their achievements."

    Aya interrupted: "I have never hindered them from pursuing appropriate interests, and I have never asked them to live an ascetic life."

    "Yes, you didn't force it, so your regime was able to persist until Bretonia was unified for the first time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to even raise the most basic team." Wang Lu said, "Your problem is that you  You are not leading by example. You are the king of knights, a king who is at the top of hundreds of millions of people. If you live a poor life, what will you do if you, the king, get one thousand silver coins a month?  Can the ministers get 10,000 yuan a month? They can only grit their teeth and get 800 or 500 yuan, but this is not even enough to live on.

    Aya laughed: "Do you want me to be extravagant and lustful because of this?"

    Wang Lu said: "Except for a few cases, have you ever seen a king who was not extravagant and lustful? Those poor kings were either ignored by their subordinates, or they were about to become kings of subjugation. A poor king meant the entire bureaucracy.  The system is out of whack.¡±

    "So according to your reasoning, there is no moral king in this world?"

    Wang Lu said: "To be precise, people with high moral standards are not suitable to be kings, because the concept of morality does not apply to different classes. At the same time, chivalry is not suitable to guide kings in ruling the country.

    Aya has actually been persuaded by Wang Lu a lot, but when she heard him mention chivalry, the girl was immediately dissatisfied: "Are you going to reject chivalry as well?"

    "It's not a veto, but a matter of correcting the position of chivalry. If a thing is in the wrong position, even if it has no flaws, it will only have a counterproductive effect. Just like if you make a fish head puff pastry and look up at the stars, that's  A naked tragedy.¡±

    Using this example to illustrate, Aya felt a little easier to accept: "So where do you think the position of chivalry should be?"

    Wang Lu said: "It's very simple, put it on the altar. Justice, dedication, bravery, etc. emphasized by chivalry are all beautiful qualities. The model idols set up when educating and guiding the people are nothing more than this. But idols are idols.  ,Reality is reality.¡±

    Aya said: "You mean to deceive everyone? You claim to be fair and just, but in reality you are selfish and greedy?"

    "Cheating?" Wang Lu smiled, "No promise is not cheating. As long as you don't claim that Bretonnia has completely realized the popularization of chivalry, and the people can use chivalry to strictly demand all the ruling classes, then it's not  It¡¯s considered cheating. It should be said that chivalry is not a reality that has been achieved, but a goal that we need to constantly strive for. Isn¡¯t this the right explanation??, We are indeed working hard for it. Although the reality is still far from the ideal, a unified Bretonia is closer to the ideal than a Bretonia that is exploited and broken up by the church, isn't it?  "

    Seeing Aya's silence, Wang Lu added and explained: "I'm still using the military formation method that you are good at as an analogy. Suppose you encounter an enemy who is unable to defeat you. You want to rush forward and fight with him.  Or should we proceed step by step, accumulating advantages bit by bit, until the final battle? There may be victory or defeat, and compromise and retreat are inevitable.¡±

    Aya asked a little tiredly: "But how long will it take to truly realize the prosperity of chivalry?"

    Wang Lu asked back: "If I said ten years is enough, would you believe it?"

    "I know you can't wait to see that day, but you must realize clearly that you have done everything you can do. You have created an unprecedented foundation for Bretonia, but your role only ends here.  To do more so far is to undermine the success.¡±

    Aya nodded slightly, as if she had accepted Wang Lu's suggestion.

    Wang Lu did not rush her, and walked quietly with her in the alleys outside Longcheng. The hustle and bustle of the city was isolated from the high walls, creating a small silence.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, Aya sighed with some relief, as if she wanted to say something.

    However, at this moment, a muffled cry suddenly sounded in front of her. Aya's eyes narrowed, and then her body flashed, and she reached the source of the sound in a flash.

    Wang Lu sighed, followed quickly, and saw a young girl crying helplessly in a dilapidated house.  The reason for the matter is very simple. They used to be businessmen who provided snow mountain spring water to the church. Later, the church was expelled, and they suffered a lot. Their father and mother were tried as traitors who supported the church. Although their lives were not in danger, they continued for decades.  Almost all the accumulated family property was plundered. The two made extreme choices out of grief and anger, leaving only a young daughter and a little property that was barely enough for her to survive.  It's a pity that the young woman has never been familiar with the world. Her parents' inheritance was quickly deceived, and now it is difficult to survive.

    "Wang Lu, is this kind of crime something that must be tolerated on the way forward?"

    Wang Lu didn¡¯t answer, because Aya didn¡¯t actually need an answer.

    "Wang Lu, I think there is still something I can do in this country. Maybe as you said, I am not suitable to be a king, but I am still a knight and can do what a knight should do.  ¡±

    Wang Lu asked: "Single-handedly, do you act chivalrously? Wander around Bredonia, take care of the injustices in the world, and kill all the unkind and unjust people in the world? With your identity as the Knight King, or the Knight King's daughter, come here  Fighting against a strict system? Aya, this is not the spirit of chivalry, but the spirit of a ranger. It's okay to use force once or twice. Sooner or later, you will find that the sword in your hand is exactly what you created.  A huge country. And the knights who still respect you will unknowingly stand on your opposite side. Do you really want to see that scene? "

    Aya was trembling all over and was extremely unwilling: "Are you just going to let me do nothing?"

    "You can do anything, as long as you can bear the consequences. From your perspective, this is a country you built with your own hands. You can do anything to it, but I guess no matter what you do, you will never be satisfied.  "As a result," Wang Lu said helplessly, "So, do you understand why most of the immortal cultivators in Jiuzhou are not involved in the world too deeply? In Jiuzhou, there are very few monks above the Golden Core realm who are directly involved in mortal matters.  Because they can¡¯t take care of it. The number of monks in Jiuzhou is already one ten thousandth or even less than that of mortals. If the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance does so much shit, the mortal world will only be ten thousand times more chaotic.  Ah. A large part of the reason why people who cultivate immortality are that the chaos in the human world is really unbearable. You see, I have established a wisdom sect, and you are the leader, but it is only a remote control, and who are really involved in it.  I am a standing deputy leader, because it is too involved, and even a professional adventurer like me will keep cutting things off and creating chaos."

    Aya didn¡¯t speak any more.

    Wang Lu patted her shoulder and said nothing more. Aya was never a fool. When she became famous, she knew what she wanted to do better than most people in the world.

    Wang Lu actually doesn¡¯t think he is much better than Aya. His biggest advantage is his detachment.  Aya has been trapped in Brydonnia's obsession and can't extricate herself.  Otherwise, with her extensive knowledge and knowledge, she would not need to be reminded of these principles.  But now, everything that needs to be said has been said. Next, all we can do is wait patiently for Aya to figure it out on her own.

    Next, Wang Lu did not stick to Aya's side anymore, but gave her enough time and space to think about some things that needed to be left alone.  However, three days later, when Wang Lu finished his short trip and returned to the inn he had agreed with Aya, he found that Aya had disappeared.

    Standing at the door of the inn¡¯s bedroom, Wang Lu was stunned.

    "This is??Have you been abducted by human traffickers?  "

    After saying that, Wang Lu only felt a moment of despair, and couldn't help but put down the travel souvenirs in his hands: the honey wine that Aya loved to drink - a special elixir was added to the wine. It was Wang Lu's last resort for Aya. This stupid  If the girl can't figure it out, she can only let other parts of her figure it out.

    "It's a pity that things are really unpredictable. Maybe Aya really belongs to Xiyi and can't be brought back to Kyushu no matter what?"
