book of old days

Chapter 257 Let go of your mentality

Hearing this, Sean couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. It seems that the Duke of Lanster was really completely kept in the dark by Ulysses.

But it's not difficult to understand, if he hadn't seen the power of the worm with his own eyes, such a bizarre thing would probably be unbelievable.

However, things really happened like this. Thinking about the long-term business development of Ulysses, these people in power have no idea about the power of worms, and they thought Ulysses was their collaborator. This time The crisis of Sword Castle may not be so easy to overcome.

The most important thing is that the greed, shamelessness, and ruthlessness of this gang of sword castle dignitaries once again exceeded Xiao En's expectations. This is what the rulers of this era look like. Why should I help them deal with the oppressed bottom What about people?

If I really killed Ulysses, or prevented his plan, then I am afraid that what these guys can do next will not be much better than Ulysses.

Although Ulysses is a bit crazy, in the final analysis, he is an idealist, at least he has a good intention, but the means are more extreme. In contrast, the nobles of Sword Castle represented by the Duke of Lancaster It's just a bunch of scumbags.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became disheartened.

Why do you still participate in this crap, save the world?Which one of those people who are suffering really needs him to save?Or do you want to save these powerful people yourself?But can saving these people really make the world a better place?I'm afraid not necessarily, hehe, it seems that I am really self-indulgent.

The Duke of Lancet thought his silence was embarrassment and depression at being deceived by Ulysses' trick.

"Don't pay too much attention to Professor Sean. This is a good show performed by everyone. It's normal for those who don't know the inside story to be frightened, but don't tell others. If you are caught by those ignorant bumpkins, If the dirty beggar knows the truth, it will be bad if he shrinks back when the time comes. If he wants to clean up the room, he must clean it up.

This is related to the development of Sword Castle in the next few decades. Only by cleaning up these filth, can we develop Sword Castle better. After so many years of development, there is not much free land left, but when the garbage is cleaned up Clean, dark alley areas will be razed and new urban areas will be built. "

So it turns out... Sean is naturally very clear about the huge benefits in real estate development.

Xiao En suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, Duke Lanster, since you are so confident and everything is under control, I, an unrelated idler, will naturally not intervene, and I don't think I have any reason to intervene. Am I right?"

"Haha, you're right. It's rare for you to have such self-knowledge. Do you know that there are not many people who are as knowledgeable about current affairs as you are now. There is a future. If you work hard, you may be able to be a deputy in the future." Principals and stuff, too many people like to meddle in their own business, too many people think they can change the world.

It is because of these people that the world is always disturbed. Professor Xiao En should not be that kind of person, right? "

Sean smiled, "Of course not. I'm not interested in power, and I'm not interested in changing the world. The rise and fall of empires, the rise and fall of civilizations, throughout history, do times always change repeatedly? None of this makes sense from a human perspective, so why am I doing this?

I can only watch all this from the sidelines, seeing the rise of the tall building, the pride of the banquet, and the collapse of the building. "

Sean said and raised his glass, "To humanity."

After he finished speaking, the Duke of Lancet looked at Sean in surprise, with a bit of relief and a bit of scrutiny: "I didn't expect Professor Sean to be a philosopher."

"Everyone can become a philosopher. As long as all the needs are met, when life becomes boring, people will naturally start to think about philosophy of life. However, people always have too many desires and cannot see reality clearly. I can’t really calm down and think about the truth of the problem.”

Sean said, and turned to cook.

After figuring out the key to this, Sean relaxed a lot, and his appetite opened up. Lamb chops in sauce, grilled quail, and meringue patties, Sean enjoyed the food to his heart's content.

After a meal, Sean was about to say goodbye.

"Eric, send your professor off, that's how I taught you etiquette."

Eric sent Sean downstairs, and the two of them walked out of the gate of the manor. Eric looked a little uneasy, "Professor, is all this true? I really don't know what to say, my father... "Eric hesitated to speak, he has not recovered from the conversation just now.

He has lived in a merchant's house since he was a child, and he has some contact with those low-level people. When he thinks that his father has decided the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people with a few words, and a bloody massacre is about to happen, he has A feeling of not knowing what to do with yourself.

"Don't pay too much attention to Eric. After all, it's not up to you to decide. Besides, you don't know those people, and you don't owe them anything. Why should you worry about it?"

Eric shook his head: "I know, but I always feel that this is a bit too much. After all, they are human beings, and they just want to live better, and it is my decision to make this decision." Father, I..."

He hesitated to speak, his expression was gloomy, and everything was kept silent.

Sean nodded secretly, but his student has not completely lost his humanity yet.

There is also sympathy and a sense of morality, which are stronger than him.

Although he didn't want to see this kind of thing happen, he really couldn't have much empathy for those who had nothing to do with him, and he always had a sense of indifference of a bystander.

Even if he knew what was about to happen, he could only express a few words in his heart, without any sense of mission to save the world.

"If you don't want to see this happen, just leave Sword Castle." He said suddenly.

"But……"

"Do you trust me, Eric?" Sean suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, you are my professor. I always respect you and am willing to follow your teachings."

"Then leave Sword Castle, leave tomorrow, don't ask me why, of course, if you insist on staying with me, it's fine, just pay more attention to safety, accidents are always possible."

Sean nodded meaningfully at Eric, then turned and left.

Only Eric was left, looking at Xiao En's leaving back with a solemn face.
