Next, Canxing didn't have any more topics to expand on his mission, and was only disturbed by the endless questions from the thieves.
Of course, the tidbits he told about brave men seem to be very popular with others...
In the evening, we took turns to keep vigil. Since I still didn’t trust Canxing very much, so when we were assigned to keep vigil, he and I were in a group, and the others were in pairs.
Others took turns to watch in the middle of the night before. By the time Canxing and I went on duty, it was already the night after. At this time, not even a trace of fire could be seen on the earth, and the forest became quiet, as if the entire earth only existed. This is a small bonfire.
"Hero, you must be very tired."
It was a long night, not only because of boredom, but also because I wanted to understand the recent developments of the Holy See. I asked Canxing while adding firewood to the bonfire.
He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his chin and said with a strange expression: "Well - you are the first to start a conversation with me with such a topic."
"Really?" I was slightly surprised. "From different places to different places, facing different people, we have to constantly deal with monsters and disasters. As adventurers, any of these things are difficult for us. Everything is a decision that requires a long period of consideration before being made, and it requires at least a familiar team beforehand.”
Canxing looked at me with some surprise and said: "From this perspective... indeed, if a brave person puts aside this title, what he does is indeed similar to an adventurer in a sense."
Then, he said with some self-deprecation: "In the history of mankind, a brave man should be a person who is enough to save an entire ethnic group, but now it is just a title awarded by the Holy See."
According to legend, it was with the continuous emergence of many brave men that the human beings in this world were able to step out of the dark ages and find their own place to live in this continent.
But the current brave men are like special civil servants of the Holy See.
The legitimacy of the brave requires the confirmation of the Holy See, and the authority of the Holy See can also be expressed through the brave, which ultimately led to the current situation where the brave is like a folk idol.
"Being a brave person may seem glamorous, but in fact, it costs a lot to maintain this title." Canxing smiled and said, "In addition to providing proof of legitimacy, the Holy See will also provide certain resource support to the brave man. , but not all brave men really have such good talents and can truly become "brave", so many people will choose to attach themselves to the great nobles to obtain more resources. "
"Is it okay to say this..." I sighed.
Chanxing’s words reminded me a little of Ye Yong Zhi’s poor past, and I wanted to burst into tears...
Damn it, why am I so poor when I travel to another world without a golden finger!
"There is nothing that cannot be said. In fact, this matter is already a semi-public fact in the aristocratic circles, and the Holy See does not seem to have any idea of managing this kind of matter." Canxing chuckled and waved his hand, "In my opinion , as long as it does not affect the face of the Holy See, they will probably not interfere. What's more, this is equivalent to the neutral attitude of the Holy See - brave men can do brave things, as long as they achieve their goals and use reasonable means. , and it doesn’t matter what the process is.”
Canxing's words were full of ridicule about this kind of thing.
So, I tried to ask: "You don't seem to like what these brave men are doing?"
He nodded and looked at the night sky slightly lost in thought.
"I don't like it - but I think it's because of my background that I can look at these things outside of this weird circle."
Canxing came back to his senses, turned to look at me with a smile and said, "You may not know very well, but the reason why I can say this is largely due to the fact that I am a noble myself. Like most brave men, The difference is that I am the second son of the Duke family. Although I do not have as high a status as my elder brother, the resources I receive are much higher. Therefore, my father was very happy when he found out that I had a reaction with the Holy Light Prism. .”
"The term "brave" means
What it represents... is very useful even among nobles. Not only are brave men raised in captivity, but if the master is also a brave man, then he will have a natural moral high ground in his position. "
He sneered and said: "To put it bluntly, there is a reason for what the "brave" does, so all actions are naturally morally justified. As a noble, the simplest way is to maintain the stability of the territory. Even if there is a brave man, this useless title can be of great use when appeasing the people. As long as you pay slightly less than the normal expenditure, you can obtain super-standard stability. And if the nobles themselves are brave, Then people around you will even want to come to this place - this is the "shelter of the brave". "
Honestly, I was stunned.
In my days as a wild warrior, I never thought about such a thing.
Or maybe it was my vanity that caused the souls in the other world to naturally reject such behavior, thus becoming disconnected from the brave men of this world...
However, I also realized something was wrong.
"That being the case, then it seems that you appearing here now——"
"Ah, I was disgusted with this kind of thing, so I found an excuse to leave the duchy. But you can also think that this is aristocratic willfulness." Canxing said calmly.
"I'm not really a noble person, I just can't think straight sometimes. Perhaps because of my noble status, I can have some options that lead to the same destination, which can help me occasionally break free from confusion."
He simply lay down, sighed and said, "However, I'm a little worried now."
Demon?
Or war.
The wind gradually picked up, and my ears heard a muffled sound like bubbles bursting.
"My alarm was triggered by something."
I told it truthfully.
Canxing's body that had just been lying down had no choice but to stand upright again.
"It's really not the right time to come here. We're obviously just getting excited about chatting."
I recalled what he said and said with a smile, "This is the adventurer."
The spell was ready to be opened. Canxing looked at the lit runes on my body in surprise, as if he had just realized that I, the magician, seemed a little unusual.
"This kind of skill... is rare."
I slowly walked towards the direction where the alarm was triggered and said softly: "This is my unique skill - I came from poverty."
