"Are you trying to laugh at me?"
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "No, I definitely didn't mean to laugh at you."
Alina sniffed: "Just laugh if you want, you'll get hurt if you hold it in for too long."
"No, no, no, I am a doctor and have received professional training. I will never laugh at others."
Bai Lu, who looked hopeless, kicked the snow at his feet angrily. It's hard for people to do things that they are not good at. She can teach, help Tallulah draft copywriting, and can also sew, but in physical training and He suffered repeated setbacks in his fighting skills, and his self-confidence was deeply affected.
"No one is born good at these things, but it does not exclude those with extraordinary talents."
Alina's eyes lost their brightness: "Yes, I am one of those people who has no talent."
Zhou Jinru said seriously: "Even people with no talent can turn from useless to useful talents through intensive training. It's still early, let me tell you a story."
"Can you tell stories?"
The man chuckled and said, "I'm good at telling stories."
The girl sat upright by the campfire, resting her chin on her hands, patiently watching his performance.
"A long time ago, there was an ordinary person who received the best education and studied very hard, but he really had no talent. He tried his best and only got into an ordinary university."
Alina asked curiously: "Is this person you are talking about a kid from a rich family?"
"Barely so, he was adopted."
Zhou Jinru's eyes were deep, staring at the flickering firelight, and continued: "Many talented people can easily fly up to 90,000 miles, but when they come to him, they get half the result with half the effort. They spend a lot of energy, but they only achieve what others can achieve with just hard work." high."
"But one day, the land he lived in changed dramatically. Well, it was almost a natural disaster that affected several countries. All his family members died in the disaster. Unfortunately, he happened to survive. What's even more unfortunate is that , he lost his resources and became an ordinary person again."
"He thought, this is the only life he has left. There is nothing to lose anyway, so just fight with this life. The hard work will pay off after all. He joined a team with more talents than him. There are many capable people, but they often go to areas where natural disasters are rampant, and the team members die one after another. In the end, he became one of the only five people left."
Alina asked curiously: "Are there really such lucky people?"
"Among these five people, No. 1 has a firm belief, extremely talented, and unparalleled combat power; No. 2 has extraordinary wisdom, exquisite layout, and no tricks; No. 3 has a pure heart, and his talent is not inferior to No. 1. He is the best." The successor of No. 5; No. 5 is the most unrivaled, with a will as strong as steel, and no regrets even if he dies."
"What about number four?"
Zhou Jinru smiled: "No. 4 does not have the strength of No. 1, does not have the wisdom of No. 2, has a dusty heart, and is not as pure as No. 3. No. 5 at the same time was also stronger than him. He is just an ordinary person. The only advantage is that you live longer, and even a pig can become a master."
Alina's face darkened, you are cursing me in a roundabout way! "
She then thought again and said: "The number four you are talking about is not you, is it?"
"What did you call me?"
"Ha, it turned out to be you. Tallulah said that when she was a child, she heard an uncle tell a joke about 'I have a friend'..."
Bai Lu was in a much better mood, but when she recalled the story told by Dragon Girl, a vague name suddenly flashed across her mind. It seemed that the uncle's codename was Mr. Four.
Are they really the same person? !
"How long have you lived?"
Zhou Jinru also didn’t know. Taking just one hundred years as an example, it was enough to be Alina’s ancestor.
He said: "I have lived a long time, so long that I can't even believe it."
I’ll use it to brag with Kelsey another day.
Alina grimaced: "Then what should I do?"
"Keep practicing. Although you can't be said to be a top-notch player, I am confident that I will turn you into a top-notch goalkeeper."
…
In February 1094, the wind and snow stopped, allowing the creatures on the earth to take a breather.
Zhou Jinru and Alina left Ursus, still pretending to be a couple. The border prosecutor looked at the photo of the two and released them without any suspicion.
"We look like a couple."
"Don't tell me this, Mr. Fourth, you can be my grandfather, isn't it appropriate?"
Because Tallulah often talks nonsense, Bailu is very experienced in dealing with Zhou Jinru.
Crossing the long border, they were about to enter Casimir's territory. The two countries' territories were close to each other. In the past twenty years, there had been frequent frictions. In the latest war, both sides deployed high-level combat capabilities. No matter who wins or loses, they will withdraw their troops in the end.
The two of them were riding in a bus, speeding through the wasteland, heading to the nearest mobile city.
"Casimir has undergone great changes in recent years. Strong capital power has gradually occupied the status of traditional nobles, but the real power is still in the hands of traditional nobles. The emerging knights are an impact on tradition. They may not be able to change the old The ideas of one generation are different, but the new generation is different.”
When Zhou Jinru said this, he exhaled, believing that Alina could understand what he had not finished.
People will always die, and the new generation will replace the older generation and become the helmsman of Casimir. It is hard to say how much voice the traditional aristocracy will have by then. With the continuous invasion of capital, like the spring breeze blowing on the earth, Moisturizing things silently, this country will eventually become a country where capital comes first and entertainment leads to death.
Margaret Linguang won the knightly competition in 1093. At that time, the Linguang family had already declined. She was subsequently exposed as an infected person and was expelled from Casimir.
It is now 1094, and this has already happened. After Margaret Linguang left Casimir, she met the apostle group who also left Kazdaele. The three hit it off, being each other's light, and walking hand in hand.
However, even if Zhou Jinru wanted to find Linguang and others now, he didn't know where to go.
"This country doesn't have much time left."
Alina looked serious. Along the way, she learned a lot of more advanced knowledge from Mr. Four, fully aware of the current situation of Ursus, as well as the analysis and description of what will happen in the future. Even if he only said half of it, I can think of what is behind it.
Zhou Jinru nodded: "No one can do anything about it. This is a natural phenomenon. Ever since humans appeared on this land, everything has been developing into this form. I don't want you to fight against it now. You have to learn to analyze and understand it. Learn to find its weaknesses.”
Bai Lu's tone was a bit strange: "Am I your heir?"
