"Introduction, he is Heishu, my student and the operation manager of Goblin Farmhouse."
When she came to Zhou Li's shabby "official residence", Miss Tang was obviously shocked. In fact, if the brave man just lived in a luxurious palace and enjoyed the luxury, Don Quixote would not be in such a hurry. Because in the eyes of everyone, the brave man deserves to enjoy wealth and power. After all, the brave man will face a disaster of world-destroying level. What happened to his enjoyment?
But what Don Quixote cannot accept is that when a brave man is distracted by other things, he fails to improve his strength and is willing to fall. So when she saw this simple and pitiful wooden house, a thought suddenly emerged in Don Quixote's heart:
"This is poorer than me."
It's normal for Don Quixote to have this thought. After all, anyone who sees a shaky two-story wooden building has no carvings or decorations. Even the door is made of blue glue and wooden boards. When Miss Tang saw this building for the first time, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for it, even as a noble deputy castle.
Then, Zhou Li introduced her to Heishu, who had been studying at the Zisha Chamber of Commerce. When Don Quixote saw the black tree, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. Because she had never seen a goblin with human politeness, wearing human clothes, and speaking a slightly lame continental common language. Even though the Goblins she had seen before were already very unique, this Goblin called Black Tree still had a great impact on her.
"This is Miss Don Quixote, a nobleman with great chivalry."
After Heishu heard Zhou Li's words, the two of them quickly took off their hats, performed an exact civilian salute, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, it's an honor to meet you, madam."
"grateful."
Although Don Quixote had mixed feelings in his heart, he still nodded calmly. Then Zhou Li on the side made an invitation gesture, beckoning everyone to enter his house.
After entering the "House of the Brave", Don Quixote looked at the decoration here and was secretly shocked. She discovered that even the Hede family, which was already impoverished, could be considered a wealthy family in front of Zhou Li. The dilapidated walls, almost no decoration, and the floor that made a creaking sound when stepped on, all made Don Quixote gradually change his impression of Zhou Li.
"This is where I usually hold meetings. Let's take a rest here."
Entering the conference room, Zhou Li kicked aside the carpet that he had forgotten to hide with a kick that left no trace, allowing Don Quixote behind him to see clearly. Looking at the red carpet with a big hole in it, Don Quixote's inner guilt gradually filled her heart, which made her question her original idea.
"Actually, I'm not poor."
Sitting on the chair, Zhou Li looked at the preoccupied Don Quixote in front of him, and said with a calm smile: "I still have one thousand gold coins deposited by the Zisha Chamber of Commerce last month. According to the regulations of the brave, this land is now It also belongs to me. So, in fact, the wealth I have now is not as rare as it seems."
"ah?"
Even though Don Quixote was well-informed, he still felt a little distracted when faced with Zhou Li's sudden attack. According to common sense, Zhou Li should borrow a donkey to go downhill and directly describe his poverty and disregard for wealth to dispel his original bad impression of him. But for some reason, Zhou Li suddenly talked about his wealth. This makes Don Quixote a bit incredible.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Don Quixote looked at Zhou Li and asked with some confusion: "You can obviously..."
"Makes you feel guilty and makes you feel that this challenge is against the spirit of chivalry?"
Zhou Li let out a laugh of unknown meaning, then leaned on the chair and said relaxedly: "I admire you, not a simple person like Don Quixote."
Facing Don Quixote's surprised look, Zhou Li put his arms on the table, knocked on the table and said solemnly: "What I admire is the spirit of chivalry."
"I also want to be a bright and majestic knight."
After hearing Zhou Li's short words, Don Quixote was struck by lightning. She looked at Zhou Li and suddenly understood why Zhou Li took her to see the various facilities in the Goblin Farmhouse and let her come into contact with the black tree.
He wants to make himself a knight!
This is Zhou Li showing off his achievements to Don Quixote!
"What is honor?"
Zhou Li looked at the thoughtful Don Quixote and said with a smile: "Honour is not something that I defend with my life after others slander me. Nor is it something that I can get by taking out my intestines after being slandered."
"My honor is humility, honesty, compassion, justice, and all lives worth protecting."
Looking at the mask taken off, the young man's face was revealed full of perseverance and integrity. Don Quixote's heart suddenly surged with turmoil. She had never been as ashamed of what she had done as she was now, and she had never been so hard to face herself.
Zhou Li is the one who truly possesses the virtues of chivalry!
Don Quixote suddenly felt shaken by the "honor" he had always believed in. She was thinking about what she would do if she was so slandered as a brave man and challenged by a stupid young man in the name of "education".
Use your life to defend your honor?
If it were the previous Don Quixote, she would definitely be like this. But when she saw Zhou Li just smile indifferently in the face of the slander and still working hard to civilize the foreign races, build a career, and benefit the majority of adventurers, Don Quixote's heart suddenly wavered.
In order to prove that he ate a bowl of noodles, he had to cut open his intestines in exchange for honor. Is this really right?
Completely forgetting that his theme was "The brave man is too weak, he will use his life to remonstrate" Don Quixote was filled with regret. She was completely led astray by Zhou Li, and now her mind was filled with the fact that she had mistakenly blamed the hero.
"Mr. Brave, I...I want to be alone for a while."
Don Quixote stood up and left the conference room in a daze. Now, she was controlled by her own thoughts, and her mind was filled with the deconstruction of the word honor. As a promising star in the Hede family, she began to question herself.
Watching Don Quixote leave in a daze, lost in thought. A trace of worry appeared on Azi's face, who was silent along the way. She looked at Zhou Li and asked him, "Is she... going to be okay?"
"of course not."
What Azi didn't expect was that Zhou Li on the side was very leisurely at this time, as if he didn't care whether Don Quixote could get out of the trap he had set. Zhou Li opened the Brave Exclusive in his hand, looked at the "Black Emperor's Will" that had been unlocked, and held a sentence in his heart.
"Among those who resisted my brutality, she was the most ruthless."
