Chapter 105 The other party's growth (text)
‘Oh! Didn’t you always want to inquire about the Kingdom of Cruze before? Isn’t there a good candidate? If you want to do it, just do it, Georgie talked to Green while walking: “You’ve been there for so long and tell me what the Kingdom of Cruze looks like. Is it really the same as what we heard from merchants before?”
Green said with a reminiscence expression: "Some are different and some are different. In addition to the words of some merchants to raise prices, there are also deviations caused by different perspectives of different positions in different perspectives."
"Although you have prepared mentally in advance, your serious explanation almost scared me. You must know what you said before! You always look a little cynical. Have you grown up after almost a year of saying it?" Qiao Ji, who was teasing, looked up and down at Green, but this time his eyes were much more restrained.
Regarding Qiao Ji's reaction, Green gave the other party an old fist in the chest with angrily: "Don't speak in the tone of my old man, okay? You should know that you are two years younger than me!"
Green's punch was completely unpainable to Georgie, but he immediately retorted: "What's the matter of such a big reaction? If you are as stressed as me, you will almost become like me."
Green's face was full of the words "not believe": "Bart and others are the family heirs like you, why haven't they become like you?"
"If their father stayed in Karada for the same long time as mine, he wouldn't be able to go anywhere. You know, I have been in charge of the management of the territory since I was eight years old. Once there are more things to consider, people's thoughts will naturally become too mature. After they start taking over the management of the territory, 80% will become like me in a few years." After tiptoeing, leveling his height with Green, he looked at the other party's eyes and said seriously.
After hearing Joggy's words, Green first thought about it, then shuddered and said, "Fortunately, I am a free man, and I don't want to try such an experience."
"Is this? This is the most desired thing for many people in their lives! But because we came from good families, we can get it more easily. Not everyone can be as interested in it as you." Qiao Ji asked back with a look of regret.
"I may not know much about it in the past, but this trip made me truly see the price and ambitions that civilians have paid to climb up. For things that we can easily obtain, even if they spend their entire lives, they may not be able to get them even if they spend their lives. The world is so unfair, do you think it isn't it?" It seemed that Georgie's words touched some of Green's thoughts deep in his heart, and he expressed such feelings.
Qiao Ji touched her chin and nodded with interest and said, "I have indeed grown a lot! You really couldn't say such in-depth words in the past! It seems that you have really experienced a lot of things during the period when we haven't met. If you haven't experienced some things personally, you can't reach this level just by looking and thinking."
Green protested again at Georgie's tone: "I told you not to do this. I always feel like I am your brother when I am with you."
"I'm so sorry. My habit is not easy to change. Besides, I don't have any plans for this." Qiao Ji apologized like a joke, but he was really sincere.
Green glared at Joggy and said, "I don't think there is anything to keep your habit."
"Who said no? This can make others ignore my age to a certain extent, and achieve a more reciprocal attitude in handling geographical affairs and negotiating with other organizations." Qiao Ji showed good habits and proud behavior.
"This is the price you pay for getting power. My brother is the same. I remember that when he was a child, he would not pull out his house to open space for knight training in the early morning even on snowy days. At night, he would also have to study territory management and literature, and later he would not send it to other Knight attendants' homes. Compared to his almost abused learning process, my own efforts are really nothing." Green said, shook his head and looked at Georgie with tears of pity, "And what if he became a lord? I have seen my father grey hair for the affairs of the territory at night. It is not an easy thing to just ensure that he can have enough fiscal revenue every year. Life like that is not what I thought."
Georgie shook her head and responded to Green's words that were somewhat liberal inclination: "Everyone has his own ideal! This is not the life you like, but not others may not like it either. Besides, some people sit in that position because of responsibility. Rights and obligations are equal, and you will definitely pay the price if you want to get, although sometimes you will ignore those prices."
Green immediately became interested in Qiao Ji's statement: "Is it reasonable? You can use me as an example."
"Do you think this is interesting?" Qiao Ji obviously didn't want to waste his talk on this matter. After all, this was not the main purpose of his conversation.
"Of course." Green showed a little unyielding.
"Okay! It's rare that you are interested in this matter now. Today I will tell you. For the simplest example, take the situation where you borrowed books today. The nameplate of the book loan in Bokabu Temple is not so easy to obtain. If it is not your noble status, the assessment and guarantee required cannot be solved by you now. To put it bluntly, your identity itself brings you convenience and costs. First of all, in the eyes of other people, you are a member of the Farnsworth family, and you will not reply to anything in any situation.
Change." Seeing Green was so persistent, Georgie had to make a compromise and explained it in his words just now, "So when the family needs you, if you refuse, you may be despised by the world. Also, as a member of the noble system of the Principality of Nokhan, you still have the obligation to respond to the conscription of the Principality. Of course, it is different from us heirs. Unless there is really something important about the future of the country, it is not your turn to go to the battlefield. Voluntarily earn merit and strive for the future exception."
Green scratched his hair and thought for a while, and felt that Joggy's words made sense. He suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "That's right! But even if I go to the battlefield, I don't need to rush in front like you. It seems that I have chosen the right path to the minstrel."
"That's a lot of people. The situation on the battlefield is really changing rapidly. You can't say that you are safe even if you stay behind the team. Maybe the enemy's ambush will become the front line as soon as it appears. Besides, you have to be careful about things like ripples and cold arrows. After all, a minstrel's ability to survive on the battlefield is not as good as a knight." Regarding Green's overly optimistic thought, Georg immediately poured cold water on the other party.
Knowing that the other party was doing his own good, Green had to continue rubbing his hair, and then he also joked with Joggy: "You really like to guide the topic to war today. It seems that the first time you go to the Northern Fortress at the end of the year is still very stressful."
'The war may not be far away.' When Georgie thought of this, she felt a little overwhelmed: "Maybe! How did I change the topic to this? Wasn't I asking you about the customs and customs of the Kingdom of Cruze before?"
"Okay! I was a bit off topic just now. Most of my time studying in the South was conducted in the Kingdom of Cruze. What should I say about it? Forget it, I can't summarize it anyway, so I'll give an example." Green, who was guided by Georgia, began to tell his own experiences. "The nobles there are not as stable as in our country. It is common for a fight every few days. However, in most cases, they can only be considered conflicts. Things like annexing other aristocrats' territories may take more than ten or twenty years to happen. However, the aristocrats in their hands are very few, and their combat effectiveness is not very good. So after the war begins, they directly hire adventurers, and the larger ones will contact mercenaries in advance..."
Green talked endlessly about his experiences to Georgie. It was like the overall status of the minstrel there was much higher than that of Nokhan. Not all minstrels were in combat professions, and there were not many artists. Even if they could comprehend musical spells in combat professions, the majority of them were able to comprehend musical spells. In Nokhan, the minstrels with strength had a higher status, while pure artists had no status. However, no matter whether they had combat effectiveness or not, they could gain social status as long as they performed outstandingly in art. Some people even received the reward from King Cruze for this, and thus became lifelong court nobles who could not be hereditary.
In Qiao Ji's opinion, this kind of thing is completely putting the cart before the horse. In the case of strong enemies outside, the king of a country does not want to work hard to control the sharp blade in his hand. Instead, he is addicted to the wind, flowers, snow and moon, caring about art is better than the national destiny. Perhaps he has placed all his hopes in the alliance with Nokhan. If this is true, he will be a perfect teammate of pigs. Unfortunately, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, even pigs have to help.
