Tyra, your ancestors are back!

The Elafia girl placed the basket in her hand between the two teams facing each other in the air, and then retracted behind the young man...

The infected looked at each other, and seemed to push out a representative to approach the basket. The latter nervously watched the Sakaz youth's movements while carefully lifting the basket, and then quickly retreated back to his team. , continuing the awkward confrontation with the young man...

"..."

Looking at the infected who seemed to be afraid of something, the "Sarkaz" youth raised his eyebrows slightly, and then thought of something——

"You can leave now."

Following the young man's words, the group of infected people disappeared into the snow in the forest like the runners who fired the starting gun without looking back. Only the footprints on the ground recorded that someone had been there before... ..

"Ahem...thank you, kind Mr. Sarkaz...may I know your name?"

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself first, I'm Alina...a teacher."

"...Kosma."

After a short silence, the green-haired young man gave an answer.

"Well... I am Gratius - the colors on Sister Alina's body are very warm and dazzling..."

And the girl next to her who was silent from the beginning also told Alina her name.

"color....?"

The Elafia girl looked at the girl in front of her who might not be more than 15 years old in confusion, and was immediately distracted——

"Um... Gracie? Don't you feel cold?"

The thin dress and the blue-haired girl stepping barefoot in the snow instantly inspired Alina's motherhood, and she looked at the little girl in front of her with some concern.

"No... Gracie isn't afraid of the cold—it's amazing, isn't it?"

Seemingly seeing Elafia's concern, the blue-haired little girl took the initiative to put her hand on Alina's... It was a very warm little hand, even a little warmer than her own. ...

"Oh... so amazing..."

After getting the answer, Alina murmured curiously, as if she was amazed by the magic of this brother-sister combination in front of her...

And the anxious voice from not far away quickly interrupted the girl's reverie——

"Alina—! Where are you, Alina!!!"

----------------------------------------------

"So, you two saved Alina...? Thank you very much for your help! Ahem, you can call me Tallulah, if you don't mind, can you come to our camp for a while?"

He almost touched Alina's whole body to check if the latter was injured. Tallulah gave up under the deer's slap in shame and indignation, and turned her head to the side to the two who just stared at her without saying a word. Acknowledgments have been sent.

Then, Tallulah felt something that was extremely rare in her cognition——

The lingering existence that lingered on him actually had some kind of panic at this moment, as if the two people in front of him should not have appeared in front of him...

"Hmm...Miss Tallulah, you have an annoying black streak that doesn't belong to you..."

The little girl took out a paintbrush out of nowhere, and made a sticky paintbrush at Tallulah while the voice in Draco's female mind screamed "They should not exist anymore". action--

A ball of black paint floated out of the female Drake's body and landed on the seasoning plate in Gracie's left hand, without any movement...

"Well, it's taken out—"

The girl named Gracie looked at the Drak woman in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.

"..."

At this moment, both Alina and Tallulah fell into silence...

Alina roughly guessed what the black paint that the little blue-haired girl pulled out of Tallulah was, and fell into a small shock, while Tallulah fell into a bigger shock——

She clearly knew what the thing that was dragged out was, and what kind of power it possessed—but it didn't matter now. the last noun of...

【forerunner】

"That... two, you are old humans...?"

The Draco women who were raised and taught by the Duke of Kechesi had naturally come into contact with the hidden legends on the land of Terra, and naturally understood what the word "precursor" spit out from the mouth of the black snake represented...

"Dawn... Cosmo."

"I'm Gracie, nice to meet you, Sister Tallulah - well, the color on your body is beautiful, can I draw a picture with it?"

In Tallulah's shocked expression of "old girl, I saw a fairy", the two who met on the snowy field unabashedly admitted the guess of the dragon girl in front of them.

Chapter 112 Do you want to be a leader or a hero, Tallulah?

In the nameless cedar forest of Ursus

"Change the status quo of the ore disease infected... reverse the status of the infected in today's Terra?"

The young man named Cosmo repeated the question raised by the somewhat excited Drake woman in front of him.

"That's right—if you do, there should be many ways, right?"

At this moment, Tallulah, who was still a little confused about the way forward, looked at the "youth" in front of her who might be older than the current Terra civilization.

"..."

"Heroes and Leaders."

"—Which one do you want to be?"

The youth's orange pupils stared at the young dragon girl in front of him, pondered for a moment, and asked his question.

"Heroes and leaders...? What's the difference between the two?"

Tallulah frowned slightly, seeming a little confused.

"Well—ideals in the world are divided into two kinds of people....Heroes are one of them: I have achieved my ideals."

Cosmo looked at the dragon girl in front of him...

"What about the other one? Mr. Cosmo,"

Tallulah, who aroused her curiosity, issued a follow-up question...

"The other? The other is called a leader—they say: Through me ideals are realized."

"...Can't you understand?"

Cosmo looked at the woman in front of her who seemed to be a little puzzled by Drake, thought for a moment, and decided to put it another way——

"Simply put, the so-called hero is to achieve self-worth through hard work, to achieve success in career, to achieve brilliant achievements and fame, and to be recognized by oneself and others, that is, "I have realized my ideal."

"The so-called leader is to help, guide, and lead others, organizations, and even a nation to realize their own values, achieve career success, and achieve brilliant achievements."

"They establish beliefs for people, guide people in the right direction, help people realize their self-worth, and lead an organization or a nation or even a country to achieve brilliant achievements—that is, "ideals can be realized through me."

“Leaders need to be successful in leading people, but more importantly, build faith in people spiritually and guide people in the right direction.”

"The spiritual meaning of this identity is much greater than the real meaning. As the saying goes-everyone can be a hero, but not everyone can be a leader."

"...So, the infected do not need a hero, but a leader?"

Tallulah, who seemed to understand something, looked at Cosmo with some doubts and muttered to herself...

"Wrong, I am not belittling the value of heroes...Miss Tallulah, just like the preface, it is impossible for everyone to be a leader. Without heroes, ideals cannot be realized either—"

Cosmo shook his head, denying Tallulah's statement——

"Every successful organization, nation, country that has been recorded in history...they have had one or several leaders and heroes."

"Talulah... Mr. Cosmo said there is a living example in Ursus?"

The first to understand Cosmo's words was Ursus teacher Alina, who patted Tallulah who was still thinking.

"Ursas...Alina?"

"Although this comparison is a bit strange...the former emperor of Ursas and the patriot guerrillas in the current tundra legend, in the past era, did not just correspond to the leader Mr. Cosmo said And the heroes..."

.....

"I don't know what you call the former emperor of Ursus and the patriot...but no matter what you choose to be in the end-one thing you must pay attention to...whether it is a hero or a leader."

"Hmm... what do I need to pay attention to?"

"The fans themselves... For you, they should be the infected...or the "oppressed" themselves-whether they are "heroes" or "leaders", support yours, obey yours, praise and pass on Your stories and philosophies last hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years...in the end, it is these people, not yourself.”

"Guide them correctly and leave a strong mark in history, or be engulfed by them in the tide of the times and drift with the tide, and finally get dispersed in the tide - this is ultimately up to you."

.....

-------------------------------------

"Now, do you have the answer? A hero, or a leader."

The young man named Cosmo probably spent the next ten years of talking today, patiently waiting for the dragon girl's response.

"If I choose a leader... what advice can you give me, Mr. Cosmo?"

Tallulah tentatively looked at the Sarkaz-like man in front of her...

"Leader... I'm sorry, I can't give you guidance - the path I chose is just a small path out of countless endings, an insignificant ray in the dawn of salvation, the so-called name of dawn, that's all."

"Your choice is the [hero's] path..."

Tallano nodded thoughtfully...

"Can you tell me the meaning of this name...Mr. Cosmo? The so-called... [Xu Guang]'s meaning?"

"Look up, the stars you can see in the sky...and the so-called "Xuguang" is the light from the one closest to us. "

"That sounds ordinary?"

It was early in the morning, and the starlight had not yet receded, and women in Drake could see the starry sky of the snowfield when they looked up... The women who looked up and savored it didn't seem to feel any difference.

"No, it's very special—although it can't illuminate anything because it came too early, but when people see it, they will know that since the stars are all over the sky..."

"—then there will be countless rays of light coming...sooner or later."

Cosmo looked at the Draco girl in front of him and shook his head——

"The pioneer who brings light in the darkness...Mr. Cosmo."

"Maybe - what about you? Are you sure you want to be a leader? Miss Tallulah?"

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Cosmo—I think I've established that the Infected don't need a hero who flashes by like a shooting star and then fades away. They need a leader... who can really The leader who showed them how to go."

"Really, then...Please come on."

After hearing this, Kosmo nodded, did not express any other thoughts, and fell into silence again——

"Ahem, um...May I take the liberty to ask again...Mr. Cosmo?"

"Say...?"

The young man looked at Longnu, waiting for her question.

"In your time, how did the leaders guide people in the right direction without being coerced by them?"

"This is..."

"—I'm not sure if you did, Miss Tallulah."

"In my time, the so-called leaders themselves were the ultimate embodiment of the literal sense of the concept of [great power to themselves]."

"In terms of imagery, you can imagine a giant who is at least ten times taller than you, and any attack you know is difficult or even impossible to cause damage. At this moment, he happily lifts you from the ground and says to you, little friend , we want peace, we want equality...or whatever."

"If you can do it...and live long enough, you won't have to think about it and time will bear fruit for you."

"... Excuse me, is there any experience I can learn from?"

The corner of Tallulah's mouth twitched after thinking for a while, and she immediately chose to change the question.

"Is it worth learning? Hmm... I think it's that sentence?"

Cosmo was silent for a moment, then raised his head——

"The weapon of criticism cannot replace the weapon of criticism, material force can only be destroyed by material force..."

"Although the friends I know, in the past they preferred to skip the first half of the sentence... and go directly to the second half of the sentence."

"Material power can only be destroyed by physical power... Uh... Mr. Cosmo, you mean just hit me?"

A little question mark appeared on Tallulah's head.
