Chapter 43 The Road of Heroes

Roland Hill untied the hood on his head, revealing his original face, and his hair changed from golden to silvery snow. Under the reflection of the only two candles in the room, it looked a bit hazy and beautiful.

Looking at this still beautiful young lady, Bud also sat down. Compared with the inferiority complex and timidity of the past, he would be much calmer and calmer now.

This once short and weak boy had grown a lot taller before he knew it, but his height was higher than that of Roland Hill, and his body was extraordinarily strong. Those thick and distinct muscles could probably kill a cow with one punch.

"You've grown a lot taller." Roland Hill looked at Bud, who had changed a lot, with a little emotion in his tone.

"Yes." Recalling that he traveled all the way, crossed a long distance, crossed more than half of the country, and finally found Gretel's family in this small village, Bud also experienced a lot of growth.

The mind is no longer as narrow and naive as it used to be, less inferiority complex, and more calm.

"There are a lot of dirty and despicable people in this world, but there are also some honest and kind people." Bud said his insights.

"Not everyone is suitable for fighting and fighting, but they are still worthy of my protection. I want to contribute to this mountain."

"Great once said he wanted to be a hero."

"Although I am not strong enough today, I will try my best to go in this direction, become a hero in my heart, and protect those I love. Maybe I will get hurt, I will fail, and I will lose my life, but today's I am no longer afraid."

"I don't understand too many complicated truths, and I don't know what justice and right are, but watching those people live a stable life, I will feel a kind of peace and satisfaction."

The young man who once yearned for the novel outside world, longed for the brilliant and wonderful adventures, and listened to the poets singing outside the country tavern, has now grown up slowly. Meaning, this is his deep-rooted dream.

In the flickering hut, Bud was talking about the belief in his heart. After experiencing the Hopelander Rebellion and crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, he finally found his home.

"Bud is a gentle person." Roland Hill said with a shallow smile on his face.

"However, blind protection is not enough, it will make them rely too much on you and become weaker."

"What you have to do is not to be a meticulous protector, but to lead the lions of everyone, so that they can gain the same courage and strength as you."

"The mountains and fields in Nedshire are so vast, and there are so many villages like this. It's hard for you to worry about them all. Even you, there are times when you need to rest."

Roland Hill spoke his thoughts, and the young man opposite also slowly raised his head.

"Tell me, Miss Lacey, you gave me everything, and I can do it if I need anything."

"Although I gave some help, I don't want to use this as a threat to you to do things. That's not what I want to see."

"I'm just giving an offer, or an invitation that can be declined." Loren Hill considered the language.

"I hope you can become the leader of a knight order, train and lead them, and guard this land." The girl's burning eyes were particularly bright under the light of the candles.

After inspecting the situation in Ned County, she felt more and more that the local area needed a guardian force, not only to protect the land from the monsters in the mountains, but also to guard the country's frontier as a local frontier.

And such a regiment is also best trained and armed from the local area, which will be more familiar with the local area, and will not cause some regional conflicts. At the same time, when guarding their hometown, their will will be extraordinarily firm.

Now that Crancia has just been established, it is difficult to mobilize sufficient forces to support various remote areas. In this way, it becomes a better choice to let the local people become stronger spontaneously.

Of course, there is no need to worry about its departure from the command of the central government. With the improvement of transportation and the construction of the talent training system, the cohesion of this country will only become stronger and stronger.

"I'm not very smart, and sometimes I can't turn a corner. Is it not good for me to be the leader..." Although the obstacles in his heart have gradually dissipated, he is still a little hesitant in the face of an unfamiliar field.

"No, Gretel was younger than you are now. He can organize so many people without extraordinary strength. I believe you can do it too."

"But..." Bud was still hesitant.

Roland Hill interrupted the young man and said directly.

"Bud, don't overestimate those who sit in high positions. They are shocked by the dazzling throne. Everyone learns and grows step by step, and the big trees are just inconspicuous and fragile seedlings before they grow tall. "

"There has never been any noble bloodline and irreplaceable talent. Maybe some of them are smarter than you, but as a leader, the more important thing is the belief and will that infect everyone."

"You don't have to be the brain that thinks about everything, but you have to be the backbone of the team, so that you can really build an indestructible army of steel."

In the candle-burning hut, it gradually became quiet, and Bud looked at the rough tabletop, the dark brown fibers were closely arranged, and occasionally there were some burrs protruding.

Wood is a common and fragile thing, nowhere near as hard as stone, but even such a thing, if one of its fibers is lifted, it can plunge into the unsuspecting flesh and carry a trace of blood.

As the candle burns, the wax oil becomes less and the height becomes lower and lower, and the range of its reflection becomes less and less, from the table growth ring.

The periphery shrinks toward the middle.

For some reason, Bud suddenly remembered that distant afternoon when Gretel took him to the Nissos house to protest.

"Aren't you in danger then? 』

"Haha, I have my own way. There's always someone to do these things, right? 』

"Ah, in fact, everyone has such a mentality, always thinking of others to stand up for them, and it's fine not to get hurt. 』

"We all want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, constantly obey, and dare not resist, just like this, we take a step back and a step back, until we give up everything. 』

"Individuals are lonely and weak, but if they unite, trust each other, and warm each other, they will gain great courage. 』

"I'm not fighting alone. 』

"This sentence is simple and simple, but it makes me feel very at ease, or maybe this is the power of unity. 』

...

After a long time, the candle has burned to the bottom, and the place where its light shines shrinks to the center. That is where the heart of the tree is, that is, the growth rings left over in the first few years of the tree's growth. The fibers are tightly arranged and extremely hard.

Bud slowly raised his head, and his dark face cast a swaying shadow under the candlelight.

"I agree to your invitation, I hope I can be a force in Crancia."
