William has been resisting fighting, not because he is not good at fighting or afraid of fighting, but because he thinks it is unnecessary.
If he is a coward who avoids fighting, he will not have such powerful power at all, let alone the courage to slay the dragon. It is precisely because of understanding this that Erica does not think that William is weak or lacks courage. On the contrary, he just He appears to be extremely stubborn in practicing his own values.
William holds the legendary King Arthur's excalibur scabbard in his hand. As long as it is equipped, it will not be injured. It is precisely because of this characteristic that the sword of Tony the King of Swords cannot harm him. In addition, the God Killer is immune to magic. Damage, so neither physics nor magic can harm him.
Innately invincible.
"If you have any doubts, then you might as well ask William directly. Instead of making random guesses here, it is better to ask the person involved directly."
Erica saw that William had finished reading "The Tempest" in his hand, and said in a relaxed and elegant tone.
Since you have doubts, and since you want to know the answer from the other party, why do you have to test around the edges, why don't you ask in person.
Many times the so-called misunderstandings are just one-sided, with wishful understanding, failure to speak properly, and unwillingness to be sincere.
Because the king's decision is unquestionable, and because the king's choice must have his own considerations, a loyal knight should advise instead of arguing or opposing.
This is the attitude of the Red Copper Black Cross Knights. Since William denies that he is the God Killer, then they will do as William wishes.
If the monarch and his ministers are truly intimate, they will definitely be able to consider each other's perspective, understand each other, and achieve trust.
Liliana was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to meet William's eyes, and lowered her head in an instant.
William was a little confused about this, because he was too focused on reading, so he didn't hear the conversation between Erica and Liliana at all.
Although the Copper Black Cross and the Bronze Black Cross are rival organizations, and Erica's Browntree family and Lilliana's Kranichal family are families with deep-rooted associations with each other, the relationship between the two Their relationship is surprisingly good. Even if they don't admit it, they are still old friends.
This is very easy to understand. For example, during the World War, Germany and the United Kingdom were both confused, but the royal families and nobles of the two countries were still married to each other and connected by blood.
"Liliana, I want to ask you, why don't you show your power and declare your existence in front of the magic association, so that you can dominate many magic associations. For example, if you emphasize your identity as a king, then you don't have to fight with Chi. Copper and Black Cross cooperate or form an alliance. You can give orders directly. My uncle cannot resist the king's order. With this alone, he can convince everyone, including the commander-in-chief."
"Why, this is not a matter of course. Although I don't know what your values are, the person who educated me told me that power is not used in this way, and the so-called king is not a king for the sake of ruling."
Erica's question on Liliana's behalf confused William. The sword he held in his hand was King Arthur's Sword in the Stone. His adoptive mother, the fairy Vivian, paid more attention to his martial arts teachings than to her. It is to teach William the "way of the king".
According to her, this is King Arthur's way of being a king and her ideal, so she also hopes that William will become a wise monarch in the future.
"The so-called power, just like power, should be used with caution. If it is to protect the people and for the benefit of the people, then it should be used without hesitation. If it is for one's own selfish interests, then it cannot be used. The sword is in the scabbard. At that time, its power is the greatest, and using violence to show one's authority is just the behavior of a tyrant."
William told about the way of kingship taught to him by the fairy. The reason why King Arthur's sword in the stone was broken during the duel was because she was too obsessed with her own victory and maintaining her own glory, so she lost her dueling grace during the duel. , violated the spirit of chivalry, so the indestructible sword was broken.
The Sword in the Stone has its own will, it chooses its own master, and has great power, but it is also picky about the character of the master, because the master who uses this sword is not only a knight, but also a king. As a king, you must first be fair.
Therefore, it is unnecessary and unnecessary to show authority and use violence to make everyone obey you.
"But you are the king!" Liliana emphasized this identity, "The so-called Godslayer is the overlord, the king, the devil. He is the illegitimate son of Epimetheus, the devil who is worshiped by magicians and rules the world. "
"Even if the king is a human being, I will not think that I am superior to others because I have power. I will consider myself a god and control the fate of the world at will. Joy, honor, pain and humiliation are not something that a mortal like me can control. After all, everything in the world is impermanent."
William corrected Liliana. The end of the mythical age announced that the world was freed from the destiny programmed by the gods.
In the age of mythology, the fate of all humans, whether ordinary humans or demigods, has already been determined by the thread of fate compiled by the three goddesses of destiny. When the age of mythology ends, human beings will be freed from the fate compiled by the gods. I am free and no longer have to follow the script of fate.
"You are not an ordinary person. You are a God-Slayer, a Demon King, and the only trump card that mankind has when facing the God of disobedience. No matter how much damage the God-Slayer has done, only God-Slayers of the same level are qualified to blame him. , it is precisely because of such authority that he is respected as "."
"What you get is power that is on par with gods and demon kings. As a human, you have the privilege of being an absolute being that surpasses humans. This is the king.
You also know that Sir Sarbatre or Marquis Vauban are not worthy of praise in terms of personality. They lack the moral values that humans should have. However, because they are god-killers, their actions are can be allowed.
Godslayers have only one responsibility, which is to fight on behalf of powerless humans when they appear. As long as they abide by this, no one will ask them to do anything, just like they have to fulfill the obligations of a noble superior. Or it doesn't matter if you ignore the boring rule. The right path of the Godslayer is to fight the gods according to instinct, and to rule the earth for this reason.
Please don't belittle yourself like this. As long as you fulfill your duties, no matter whether it is copper or bronze, they will choose to be loyal to you. You are not a tyrant. What you bring to this country is not disaster, but peace, prosperity and well-being, so that mankind can live and work in peace and contentment. You He is a great king..."
Liliana spoke forcefully about her declaration and spoke endlessly, making William understand his identity and become aware of the responsibilities and obligations he assumed. Among them, the power he enjoyed by assuming responsibilities was even more important. It's natural.
Erica nodded silently and agreed. This was not only her and Liliana's personal opinion, but also the opinion held by the magicians of the Red Copper Black Cross, the Bronze Black Cross, and even the magicians in this world.
It's not that no one is dissatisfied with the privileges possessed by the God-Slayer. It's not that no one thinks that the reason why the God-Slayer has such a status is due to his power, and they are repulsed by it.
But when the crisis comes, the god of disobedience appears in the world. The crisis of human annihilation has arrived, and the only one human beings can rely on is the God-killer.
If you are dissatisfied that you went up to fight the God of Disobedience and protect mankind, then shut up if you can't do that.
This violence not only maintains the status of the "king" of the Godslayer, but also protects all people.
"Stop joking, who is the great one? And for whom? Is the great one the god of disobedience or the god-killer, and for whom is he contributing? The god-killer protects humans and fights the god of disobedience. This behavior is of course Great, but because of this achievement, they were recognized and respected by the world, and thus they were honored as.
The king is supported by mankind and receives support from the people, so he naturally has the obligation to protect the people. Since it is an obligation and a responsibility, then how can we talk about the king's favor to the world?
This is the lowest moral bottom line for a person, and it is a matter of course.
You said that the Godslayer is the king of mankind, so if there are no humans, what is the meaning of the title of Godslayer.
Therefore, there is nothing noble about killing gods.
Godslayers originally came from humans, gained life because of humans, and were nurtured by humans, so they are essentially indebted to humans.
The rivers flowing on the earth, the air, the sun, the rain and dew, the mountains, the wind, the plants, and even the busy people are all contributing to the world, but how can they boast about their greatness, and we have never praised it. "
William angrily told the truth he had received from King Arthur, and expressed refutation and criticism of Liliana's assertion.
"My mother once said that the so-called kings and dukes originally meant heroes. They were born brave and fought for the sake of the tribe. Those who rushed to the front line were not to rule the people, but to lead them to victory. Therefore, the military of the tribe The leader will become a duke, the duke will become a king, and the emperor will become a god. These are not only honors but also responsibilities."
"Therefore, the power of the king comes from the worship and trust of the people. Therefore, the king cannot be the master of the country, but the king of the people, a hero and a leader. The king belongs to the people and devotes himself to the country. The power of the God-killer It was earned just to protect the people.”
William made his own assertion, looked at Liliana with soft eyes and said, "Don't lower your standards because of the values of other Godslayers. Human protection actions are to protect them as poultry. Of course, humans are the protection of poultry. However, in the final analysis, the purpose of protecting human beings is only for their flesh. If this relationship is replaced by Godslayer and human beings, then this is not justice, but a higher and more hidden evil." m.
The shocking words pierced the hearts of Erica and Liliana. Such words, which were simply rebellious, were actually said by William so easily.
A tyrant is not a king, this is William's conclusion, even if he maintains the basic order of the world.
It's just that bad order is better than disorder, so a tyrant who can establish a bad order and maintain it can be recognized by the people.
But from the perspective of development, this is still wrong. A tyrant is a tyrant. Although monarchs such as the Holy Lord, Louis XIV, and Napoleon have made great achievements, they still cannot clear their status as tyrants.
In the original Glorious Revolution of Britain, King Charles I was directly executed by the British people for the crime of "tyrant".
After all, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to praise the great achievements of a tyrant while talking about overthrowing the remnants of feudalism?
The so-called standard should not be lowered bit by bit. In the process of comparing the worst, it is wrong to think that this kind of thing does not matter at all.
Countless sages in this world, who have shed their lives and blood, established the republican system through one revolution after another and made it mainstream, fundamentally denying the monarchy.
Therefore, if the king is not a "king", then there is no need for his existence.
This concept was instilled in him by King Arthur.
If you feel that you cannot be a wise king, then don't be a king.
Some people died, but not completely...
