Chapter 13 Cheap ancestors often have
"Are there usually many ships on this route?"
In order to relieve the tension in his heart, Luo Zhengdao simply took the initiative to find a topic to start chatting with Vena Dubov. Fortunately, the half-elf beauty is not only a good student, but also mingled among adventurers in her early years. It was not difficult to answer Luo Zhengdao's 100,000 whys.
With his head tilted, he looked at Luo Zhengdao's strange face, and Venna Dubov smiled and comforted him:
"The route we took is the most convenient route from Seran to the Aru Islands. In previous years, caravans who purchased spices in Ambon would have taken this route to save time. If it weren't for those damn green skins, there were too many merchant ships on this route to line up to the end of the sky, and now I don't know when I'll see that kind of lively scene again."
The limited information at hand was not enough to relieve Luo Zhengdao. He said anxiously:
"Vina, tell me about the green skins! Why are they chasing me? Is it just for that stupid prophecy?"
Hearing the sound, Vina looked up at Luo Zhengdao with a strange look, and gently combed her long dark green hair with her fingers, and said:
"In that prophecy, there will be a descendant of the Emperor of Light in the future to destroy the second empire of the Goblins. Human nobles are always happy to intermarry. The dynasty has been established for more than a thousand years. All humans belonging to the aristocratic class have more or less blood ties with the Majesty. Therefore, the Goblins made up their minds to not let a human exiled nobleman goblins even if they chased them all the way out of the seven seas."
Luo Zhengdao was extremely depressed when he heard these words. Then he remembered another thing and said:
"Then did my parents die like this?"
When this sensitive topic seemed to be brought up by some unpleasant memories, Vina Dubov's body couldn't help but tremble. She paused for a moment and said:
"Yes, they are unwilling to give up the fief of Qiongzhou. The old earl said that he was supported by the people of the lord. As a lord, he could not shelter the people in front of the invaders. This made him extremely ashamed. He abandoned the fief and the people and continued to survive, and had no shame to see the Emperor Taizu who left the admonition of "the king died in the country". I tried my best to persuade the old earl, but unfortunately he couldn't listen, and in the end he would still..."
When the half-elf tutor talked about "Emperor Taizu" and the previous sentence "The king died in the country", he was obviously using a word that was different from the common pronunciation habits. It was hard to say that the tone heard in Luo Zhengdao's ears was very similar to the difficult dialects in southern China. In Luo Zhengdao's feeling, this was clearly the strange smell of a foreigner who had just started to learn Chinese and said with his tongue: "Milt is good, Wo is no Chinese."
After a chill, Luo Zhengdao suddenly remembered the "Fulu" Count he inherited. He originally thought it was some kind of uncommon word, and the pronunciation of slightly similar foreign languages was not without. However, according to the so-called "Emperor Taizu", it is obviously not in line with this coincidence. Not to mention the additional footnote of the "King Death in the Country" mentioned above. At this moment, Luo Zhengdao, who felt very messy, had to start wondering whether he was really the first outsider to travel to the new world. Could it be that there were predecessors from the old world before him, right?
"Vina, can you tell me in detail about the life story of the Emperor Taizu, okay?"
Luo Zhengdao, who had a storm in his mind, suppressed his suspicion and asked the half-elves beauty for advice in a plain tone. Thanks to his claim to be amnesia, otherwise, he would have no idea how he would explain it and even forgot about this basic common sense.
The first emperor of the Light Empire, who was known as the precedent of the generation in many aspects, was not only a hero and idol worshipped by the human race, but also a strong and wise man admired by other intelligent races in the new world. Even the goblins who hate the human dynasties the most dared not deny the ability of the Light Emperor. That kind of behavior of stealing the bell will only cause ridicule from bystanders.
Vina Dubov looked at Luo Zhengdao curiously, as if it was difficult to understand how he quickly jumped to another line. Could it be that this is the brain-dead child's joy? I can't figure out how Luo Zhengdao switched, and the half-elf beauty thought for a moment and said:
"That great conqueror is your direct ancestor. According to the minimum requirements for the children of aristocratic families, those who cannot recite the names and achievements of all ancestors will be regarded as fakes. The Heraldry Academy will remove such scum. Will, you must study harder in the future!"
Time travel! You're cheating! You're cheating! Listening to the brief description of Vena Dubov, Luo Zhengdao said that the glorious achievements created by his ancestors in the sense of physical and blood were so embarrassing that he could only use exaggerated and distorted words to describe his entangled mood at this moment. From the details, the senior time traveler emperor undoubtedly came from China in the old world, but unlike modern people's time travel, the various improvements, innovations and technological introductions he made were in line with the ancient cognitive level of China. Especially for the formulation of the title, this human king who called himself "Emperor of Light" adopted a naming method that seemed vulgar to Luo Zhengdao.
An, Ping, Fu, Xi, Ning, these five regular Chinese characters correspond to the five noble ranks from the duke of the Light Dynasty to the baron. For example, the great nobles who enjoy the title of duke are all standard templates named after Duke An. The following other levels of titles are also similar. The "Fulu" Count inherited by Luo Zhengdao is also an assembly line product that meets the above naming standards.
When he learned about the great achievements of this senior time traveler, when he learned that he had a fellow villager and a cheap ancestor for no reason, Luo Zhengdao, who was amused and crying, seemed not afraid to let Vena Dubov see his true emotional changes. He could only squeeze out a smile, which made the muscles on his face twitch. Such a stiff expression made people become more and more strange the more they looked at it.
In any case, Luo Zhengdao only expressed his envy, jealousy and hatred for the achievements he had achieved by his predecessors, and muttered:
"It's different for everyone! Everyone comes through it. Why is it better for him to catch up with a good time? Starting from scratch is better than a large group of green skins thinking about killing you from morning to night!"
Indeed, Luo Zhengdao, who traveled to the new world, has not yet set his position and adjusted his mentality. Many times, he still has a simple spectator mentality. All the events that happen here are incompatible with him. The so-called things are not about themselves and hang up high. Luo Zhengdao has this idea. Even if there is a flood outside, it has something to do with him? Needless to say, with such a lazy and mediocre heart, an outsider will never be able to integrate into the new world, and it is even more impossible to become a strong man.
There is a saying that failure has accidents, and success is not lucky. A person does not have a strong will to strive for strength and become more courageous as he goes down. He only has brute force to break through and be a villain in the countryside. It is far from enough to become a tyrant and demon king.
Of course, it is meaningless to just criticize Luo Zhengdao for being too low in his thinking. His way of thinking is the external manifestation of most modern people's ambition being consumed by ordinary life in the morning of 9 to 5 and the peaceful days of being fucked.
The old world is not friendly to the development of individuals. Everyone's work is meshed together like gears on machines. Modern society leaves too limited space for individuals to grow freely. Things that people come into contact with in daily life are institutionalized intentionally or unintentionally. Any alien who cannot obey the unified standards is either forced to assimilate after resistance, or is cruelly suppressed and eliminated by various rules. The rough means of Shunchang's rebellious destruction, a literal literal interpretation is called "standardization" and "law".
In short, a person's distinct personality and different opinions he possesses are unpopular qualities in modern social life. Everyone must learn to live in a cage and dance in shackles. Even those seemingly domineering second generations seem to have someone to support them, no matter what happens, there will always be someone to wipe their butts. They have to obey other rules, at best, just keep them in a big gilded cage, but there is nothing to envy.
It is hard to imagine that a towering tree will grow out of a glass greenhouse. The cold reality is in the bones of modern society, and it does not welcome the existence of a kind of alien with a flying personality. If a person is not accepted by society, he is destined to achieve nothing. If he wants to be recognized by society, he will never give up less than what he will get.
Just when Luo Zhengdao was lamenting his misfortune, Sailor Chief Zorra Hegel quickly ran to the podium. His black face was extremely cold and serious, and he spoke:
"Sir Captain, the ships behind are speeding up to catch up."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was mentally prepared, looked calm, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said:
"Zola, are you a qualified warrior?"
Pirates never know what modesty means. If you are very capable, you should show it out loud. What if you hide it? Zora Hegel's scheming is much deeper than ordinary sailors, but he still does not get rid of the pirate's habit of being arrogant. He patted his chest hard and said:
"Of course, pirates are not a profession that a weak and incompetent guy can do. Only the brave can fight the storm of the sea."
Luo Zhengdao was waiting for this sentence. He then patted Zora's shoulder with a bright smile and said with praise:
"It's very good, so let's take a look at what these guys who are chasing me behind want to do."
Suddenly realizing that he had been cheated, Zora Hegel stared at Luo Zhengdao in confusion. From this handsome young man's face that was so white that he had not even grown a beard, he seemed to see the shadow of a white-haired old fox. Is this an illusion? After shaking his head hard, Zora Hegel seemed to be trying to drive these distracting thoughts out of his mind. Soon he regained the expression of a cool brother who was so cold that he could make a group of girls scream, and said indifferently:
"Sir Captain, everything is as you wish, but in terms of reward..."
Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao's smile became more suspicious, and he waved his hand and said:
"We should abide by the agreement, aren't we?"
Looking at Luo Zhengdao with confusion, Zora turned around and looked at the sail shadows that were becoming clearer in the stern direction, then looked at Luo Zhengdao and said:
"...You mean...we treat the pursuers as targets? This is a joke!"
Zorra Hegel's words hit Luo Zhengdao's thoughts. He immediately spread his hands and said slowly:
"Oh, then do you think they will be stronger than us?"
"How is that possible! The Yangwei is a good ship, and the rags that merchants use to make quick money can be compared with battleships? Don't make me laugh."
