Chapter 266: Responsibilities of Nobles
In the huge arena, there was no sound.
The audience looked down in amazement. In the tawny arena, clusters of off-white spikes emerged, piercing people in black leather armor.
Spikes stained red.
From a distance, it looks like a rotten black leaf has fallen from the back of a porcupine.
More than ten stone cones pierced Luo Long's body and emerged with sharp tips.
Strangely, after only a few seconds, his wound stopped bleeding.
His flesh squirmed, as if to push aside the rocky spikes.
Not only did Luo Long not die, not only did he not fall into a coma, but instead lay on the stone cone flower, holding his head up vigorously, glaring at Su ye.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily like a wild beast. He clearly wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
All the audience could hear the rumbling sound in Luo Long's throat, as if someone was gulping down porridge.
The experienced nobles and magicians looked surprised, and looked at several priests of the Temple of the God of War not far away.
After using the Zealot Potion produced by the Temple of the God of War, that's it.
Su ye stared at Luo Long.
"You are an aristocrat, and many of you here are also aristocrats. I heard that every aristocrat's home has a ten-volume "Book of Nobles" written by Master Socrates. So, I have a small question, not counting magicians. A nobleman who has read the ten volumes of "Book of Nobles" seriously? After reading it, please raise your hand. As long as you can answer the questions in the book, I will recognize you as reading it and give you 10,000 golden eagles. Plus ten thousand."
Su ye looked around the audience.
The audience fell silent again.
There were thousands of nobles present, but none of them raised their hands.
Hesitation appeared on the faces of some young nobles. After reading it, they had finished reading it, but they forgot the content.
Palos moved her hand a little and then put it down, staring at Su ye.
Now you owe me 20,000 Golden Eagles!
"Then, apart from the nobles, who else has finished reading the Book of Nobles? Please raise your hand."
Master Larence raised his hand first.
Many sanctuary masters and a few golden mages raised their hands.
A few nobles looked at the magicians who raised their hands, their faces were hot.
Most nobles were unmoved.
Many civilian audiences watched this scene with different smiles on their faces.
Only a few civilians started to think.
"It seems that magicians understand nobles better than nobles." Su ye said witty words, but there was no smile on his face.
Su Ye continued: "Most of the nobles probably haven't finished reading the "Book of the Nobles".
"Nobles are born with the privilege." Su ye's voice suddenly rose.
All nobles instinctively sit up straight and hold their chests out. This is a phrase they often hear. Every time they hear this phrase, there will be undisguised pride on their faces.
The same is true now.
"Then, how many of you have read the last line on the last page of the tenth volume of the Book of Nobles?"
The nobles froze for a moment, their upright bodies slumped slightly.
Only a handful of nobles whispered the last line in their mouths.
"The noble's responsibility, from beginning to end."
Su ye's tone was extremely peaceful, but it resounded through the arena like thunder.
Many nobles changed their faces.
Confusion appeared on the faces of many civilians.
"You can tell from the faces of all of you that nobles only know about privileges, but not responsibilities."
Many nobles were furious.
Some nobles kept winking at the referee.
The four referees lowered their heads, counting the grains of sand on the ground.
There was a look of sneer on the faces of the civilians, and hatred even flashed in the eyes of a few civilians.
However, the way they looked at Su ye was extremely gentle.
"Speaking of responsibility, I heard a saying in Lion Harbor that was 'with great power comes great responsibility'. I remember it was being discussed by many sailors, and most were laughing."
"I remember very clearly. At that time, someone said, if you have strength, why should you take responsibility? This sentence is only used to deceive the weak. It is the self-comfort of the weak. The real strong will never think like this. "
"I thought his words made sense at the time, until I read the words of Master Socrates."
"The privilege of the nobility is born; the responsibility of the nobility is from beginning to end."
"What this sentence really means is that some people are born with external objects and powers that most people cannot match. However, if they want to continue to have these external objects and powers, they must always take responsibility."
"This sentence is difficult to understand. But we can imagine, if a person is more powerful and irresponsible, what will happen?"
"A golden warrior falls in love with a girl, but the girl doesn't like him. The girl is just an ordinary person, and she has no power to restrain him. He doesn't have to be responsible for anything, morality, conscience, law, or even the law. Responsible for the girl, then, what will he do? I won’t say the answer, everyone knows.”
"A legendary warrior takes a fancy to a city-state and wants the whole city-state to serve him. The people in the city-state disagree. If he is not responsible for anything, what might he do? He only needs to run around the city-state to shatter it. The whole city."
"If there is an existence that is countless times stronger than the legendary warrior, his power is so powerful that the world will be destroyed wherever he passes. However, he doesn't care about everyone's life, he doesn't care about anything in the world, then he will not He will be like a child playing with bugs, never restraining his strength, walking around at will, and destroying the world at will—even if he doesn't want to kill people."
"The situation we just mentioned is just an imagination. What is the real situation? The real situation is that if a person's strength continues to increase, but he does not bear the corresponding responsibility, it is not the world that will be destroyed, but himself! If that The Golden Warrior really does not control himself, does not take responsibility, does whatever he wants, and will one day be destroyed by a force stronger than him."
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. This sentence is not to protect others, but to ourselves. It is to prevent ourselves from losing control. Responsibility is not restraint, just like clothes are not to stop us, but to protect."
The audience in different parts of the audience looked different, some nodded, some were puzzled, some shook their heads, and some thought deeply.
"If it's just here, I still can't understand the words of Master Socrates. I didn't really understand this until I personally experienced Lake's death, experienced myself being poisoned, deceived, and imprisoned."
"I have a very simple dream since I was a child. I want to make Athens better, Greece better, and the whole world better."
"When I went to Lion Harbor when I was a child, I could always see many duels, robberies, killings, betrayals, betrayals, pain, anger, suicide... I know very well that I can't reverse this world, but I must fight for this world To bring about good changes, to make the world a little better, even if only a little bit better, a little bit is enough."
A gentle smile appeared on Su ye's face.
"So, I want to become a legendary mage, and use the power of magic to make this world a better place. The idea at the beginning was simple. When I become a legendary mage, I can change the world, so I dream every day, vaguely Confused life. As I continued to read books and exchange ideas with the most talented people in the world through books, I suddenly discovered something."
"Those legendary masters do have great power, but they didn't have it before. So, I read their experiences carefully, researched bit by bit, and found a strange thing. They seem to have the ability to predict the future. They Everything they do seems to be a step to be promoted to a legend, like ordinary people climbing a mountain, they easily ascend to the legend step by step."
"I felt strange and began to think that there must be something hidden in it. Because I have a basic thinking principle: If I can understand something important and important by simply thinking about it, then I must have overlooked something The reason is very simple, if I can really quickly and deeply understand the essence of a major event, I must already be at the pinnacle of human beings instead of growing in pain."
"I repeatedly studied the things they did, and in the end, I found a strange phenomenon. Sometimes what they did, subverted common sense; sometimes, they violated the elders; sometimes, they lost interests; Sometimes, they abandoned their reputation; sometimes, they gave up their benefits; sometimes, they were denied by others... In short, from the perspective of ordinary people, the things they did were either wrong or useless .But everything they do, small and big, has one amazing thing in common."
"That is, everything they do points to what they want most. We can call it a spiritual goal, or an ideal, or a mission from the inside out."
"Before they make a major choice, they don't consider whether they can make money, whether they can eat in the future, or what others think of them. They only consider whether this matter points to their ultimate goal in life."
"Thinking about this, I suddenly understood. Only by doing "things that make the world better", can I become a legendary master. This is, my Suye's legendary road."
"After thinking about this matter, I have a ruler in my heart. I often use the two rulers of 'making the world better' and 'legendary master' to measure myself. Why should I do it? Should I do it? What should I do? ?Of course, I don’t do well, I often forget to use the ruler, and I often use it wrongly, but I don’t demand myself, as long as I keep using it and remind myself, one day, I can do it.”
Su ye glanced at the bewildered audience before continuing to speak.
"What I do for my dreams is my responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the greater the power, which is the deeper essence!"
"It's like, there is a magical mountain in this world, and there is a magical box on the top of the mountain. You can get what you want by opening the box. However, this mountain is very high. Only when you climb this mountain can you open that box. Most of us feel that the mountain is too high to climb. However, those masters and sages don’t think about difficulties, don’t think about obstacles, they only think about one thing: how to get what they want Yes. Then, they climbed the mountain with the aim of opening the treasure chest."
