"Yes."
Zhou Li faced Don Quixote's oppressive eyes, nodded calmly and said, "I know you, I've known you for a long time."
It was obvious that Don Quixote was shocked by Zhou Li's frankness. She looked at Zhou Li, a little flustered, but also a little relieved.
"Is it the talent of a brave man?"
After a while, Don Quixote felt a long-lost peace. She raised her eyes slightly, her original scrutiny and suspicion gradually dissipated, replaced by pure curiosity.
"No, it's my talent."
Zhou Li emphasized "my" emphatically, and a thoughtful look appeared on Don Quixote's face in front of him. When she looked at Zhou Li again, Don Quixote seemed to have made up his mind, and a look of determination appeared on his face.
"I want to lose to you."
She looked at Zhou Li, her tone was calm, as if she had said an insignificant word, and she said to Zhou Li with a calm expression: "I want to follow you in the next time."
"Do you want to prove that the theory I told you back then was wrong?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows in amusement, his eyes focused on Don Quixote's face. Faced with Zhou Li's question, Don Quixote shook his head and said calmly:
"No, I want to prove you right."
"Oh?" Zhou Li was a little surprised when he heard this, and his tone changed, "You have to know, if what I said is right, then what you have insisted on for more than twenty years is wrong."
"When I was ten, my father died."
When Don Quixote said the word father, his heroic eyebrows drooped slightly, and his voice was slightly depressed, "Died in a funny trap."
"The enemy sent two people to make up a very boring song with no basis to insult the Hede family. My father was not carried away by anger. He was calm and calm, which shocked his subordinates."
"He arranged everything, promoted an adjutant to take his place, made detailed plans for all possible incidents, removed the sophisticated equipment given to him by the king, and replaced it with a pair of soldier's armor."
When he said this, Don Quixote pursed his lips, and a shadow fell on his face. "After everything was prepared, he chose to defend the honor of the Don Quixote family."
"My father did not bring any entourage, nor did he issue any battle orders. He was alone, mounted his horse and rushed into the enemy's position."
"A generation of emerald-level elite knights lost their lives because of the enemy's ridiculous trap. All they got in exchange was a high flag and the respect of the so-called enemy."
Zhou Li was silent, he had heard this story. However, the first time he heard it, Zhou Li didn't pay much attention. The advanced humanistic thinking of the earth made him sneer at this extremely stupid behavior. When he heard this story again, in the bright conference room, Zhou Li understood what this story represented.
Don Quixote's father lived the word honor with his life. In Don Quixote's eyes, her father is an omnipotent superman and a master of truth. However, such a wise man died like a joke on the "honor" that Don Quixote was going to practice for a lifetime. This made Don Quixote feel fear from the bottom of his heart, fear deep in his bones.
She didn't dare question, and she couldn't question honor. Because once Don Quixote questions the honor, it means that she has violated her father's teachings and the honor that her father guarded with his life. So she always wanted to have someone, someone who could overturn her father's theory, someone with enough authority to say to her, your father did something wrong.
When she saw Zhou Li for the first time, Don Quixote did not think Zhou Li was her savior. The brave men of all ages value honor far more than the Jode family, but the brave man's strength, status, and transcendent rights allow him to easily obtain honors at any time. Therefore, at the beginning, Don Quixote did not place his hope on Zhou Li. .
However, when she saw what Zhou Li had done, and when she saw that Zhou Li did not practice hard like other brave men, but instead benefited a group of lives that she hated, Don Quixote suddenly felt something. When Zhou Li used the sharpest and most appropriate language to explain the word honor in front of her, Don Quixote understood that what could save her from the purgatory called honor The person who was saved was Zhou Li.
Zhou Li could tell that Don Quixote had been living in the shadow of her father's death. He looked at the confused and panicked Don Quixote in front of him, suddenly stood up, walked to the window sill, and knocked on the bright glass.
"It doesn't matter whether you win or not."
Zhou Li's words made Don Quixote stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, Zhou Li continued: "I won't judge your father. Whether he is worthy of respect or whether his death has value, I don't care. I won’t draw any conclusions.”
"But what I do know is that you really should have been following me for a while."
Zhou Li looked out the window at the bustling streets, with his back to Don Quixote and a complicated look on his face.
In the previous life, after telling him these words, Don Quixote drew his sword and challenged Zhou Li.
"There is only one true glory." Zhou Li still remembered that at that time, Don Quixote had a beautiful ponytail and platinum scales on her body. Her eyes, blessed by the gods, were as hot as lava. She looked at Zhou Li, the voice is like a phoenix:
"If there is a life behind me that I should protect, then I will burn everything I have. Even if I lose my honor, have my dignity trampled on, and my glory destroyed, I will be happy to do so."
**********
"Follow me."
Zhou Li said calmly to Don Quixote behind him: "See what you want to see, do what you want to do, and then think about it carefully."
"OK."
Don Quixote nodded solemnly and agreed.
"Do you still remember the battle between you and me?"
Suddenly, Zhou Li mentioned this matter. He did not see the shy expression of Don Quixote behind him, and said in a deep voice: "I want to add a request."
"Well, you say."
Don Quixote suppressed the "sequelae of the death of a second-year junior high school student" and agreed without hesitation.
"If you lose this battle..."
Zhou Li walked aside, opened the Brave Exclusive, and took out a contract that had already been written. He placed the contract on the table, and the emblem of the God of Justice shone in the sun, shining with holy light.
"The Hede family will become my dependent family, and you will be my adjutant."
"ah????"
Faced with the unexpected "conditions", Don Quixote fell into consternation.
It's not because the conditions are too bad. On the contrary, the so-called failure conditions given by Zhou Li are surprisingly generous.
