Chapter 85 You Are Never a Lonely Savior
Sir Silver's unexpected words stunned Annan for a moment.
He was really not mentally prepared for this answer.
Or……
Annan already subconsciously believed that the difficulties he encountered and the enemies he saw could only be resolved by himself.
But watching Sir Silver skillfully took over this trouble.
On the contrary, Annan's mind went blank... For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Should I thank you? Or should he reject Sir Silver's offer? Or try to get yourself involved?
Seeing Annan's dazed expression for a moment, Sir Silver suddenly chuckled, and couldn't help touching Annan's hair.
He said in a soft voice: "Annan...do you think it's just luck that nothing major has happened in this world for a long time?
"Of course, the duty of the gods is not just to support the Great Barrier. After all, the Great Barrier is something unique to the Third Epoch... All we have to do is to guard the world together. But on the other hand, the gods can't do everything. What can be done, everything can be changed... What we can do is only what is within our power, and people will not be so purely eager.
"Just like you, as the Grand Duke, your people must hope to live a good life right away—or to be more precise, they hope to have a good income without working at home, and live a comfortable life without illness or accidents. life; they also hope that they will not meet anyone they hate, and that no one hates them; they fantasize that they know nothing, have nothing, but can have a better relationship with the opposite sex.
"But you also know...how is this possible?"
Annan couldn't help but nodded.
Yes, he knows.
--This is impossible.
Because people are eager to achieve overnight and immediately reach the best future in their hearts.
They don't care about this process, don't care about the principles, and don't care about the difficulties they will face in the process of realizing this dream-but they are very concerned about whether this difficulty will cause any trouble to their current lives.
A good leader can only balance the long-term goals with the current needs... However, even the best leaders can never meet all the needs of everyone.
Unless Master Yuanmeng reads it for an infinite month.
"When people pray to us, they don't think about how much we can do, or why we don't. They just think, have we done what they want, and if not, why haven't we? .
"Is this the inferiority of human beings? I don't think so... It's just because people are mortal."
Sir Silver said calmly: "There are very few sages who can keep their thoughts alive in the world. For most people, their life is so short... If you don't pay attention, you will miss it and it will be over.
"You are now close to the level of God, so I will sit here and tell you clearly. It's like a child who has grown up, and his father will pull him to talk about life."
As Sir Silver said, he pushed his single-frame glasses and showed a gentle smile: "You don't think...you are the hero in fairy tales, the whole world can only rely on you to defeat the devil king? You know, Even in the stories of the brave, there are still some jobs that the brave don't need to do in person.
"And since you have a greater mission, such as picking a fruit or sending a love letter, it is not your turn to do it. Of course you can do it, but this should not be your task or your purpose. "
Sir Silver uttered gentle words that shook Annan's heart: "Listen, Annan. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can never be omnipotent, let alone handle everything perfectly forever.
"Things are never finished, Annan.
"You are indeed the savior of the world. But you are not a handyman, and you have to do everything yourself. We are not wooden people who can't do anything. Why are you the only one who can save the world, and we can only watch where?
"In the end, if there is such a world, only a certain person can save it... and in this case, everyone put down their work and did not do their part for the 'hero', Instead, they just waited for the salvation to come, and even caused trouble for the 'brave'.
"Then such a world, it is better to simply destroy it."
Annan realized.
Just like Sir Silver said before.
This is a kind of arrogance in my heart.
Although he didn't say it or show it...but he regarded himself as the "protagonist" of this world. Any troubles will eventually become his troubles; and these troubles can only be solved by him alone.
"...I understand."
Annan nodded.
He replied seriously: "I was wrong about this point.
"I did think before... if everything around me is just a game, a book, a movie, then I am undoubtedly the protagonist in it.
"Since I'm the 'main character', everyone else can only be the 'supporting role'. So they can't do anything, can't do anything well, and in the end I'm the only one who solves everything...whether it's big or small.
"It's like the great lord, Zhagenbao and Canglanxing."
More like a tool man than a savior.
He had indeed done so before.
The reason why Annan regards the players as tool people... In a sense, he also regards himself as a bigger tool man. Like a contractor.
Annan didn't realize until now...
He can't always handle everything himself.
The reason why Annan delegated power to the Principality of Winter is essentially because Annan didn't care about the authority of the Principality of Winter...not because he understood the truth that "the result of 'doing everything yourself' is 'life is not long'".
"……I understand."
Annan nodded.
His eyes seemed to become brighter: "I will leave this matter to you, Sir Silver. I will deal with some of my personal affairs first...
"If there's anything you need my help with, let me know. If I can help, I'll do it."
"That's how it should be."
Sir Silver smiled gratifiedly, and gently stroked Annan's soft long hair: "This is a 'friend'. You come and go, borrow and repay. I know you are a good person, and you don't like to take advantage of others... …but you can also trust your friends more.”
Annan opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
He just lowered his head, being gently stroked by Sir Silver. Unexpectedly...and after a long absence, I felt a faint sense of peace of mind.
——In fact, Annan also understood this truth.
Annan knew from a long time ago that instead of making friends by helping others, it is better to ask others for help to increase their favorability. A small request that is not troublesome, a sincere thank you, but it is easier to draw the relationship between each other than flattery.
…but that was when Annan saw other people as tools.
Annan would consciously do this when they were not familiar with them.
For example, players who just came to this world.
At the very beginning, Annan would hope that everyone would solve any troubles he encountered together.
And when Annan really regarded them as friends, he began to think about how he could solve problems independently without asking for help from his friends; how he could give them more benefits...
For example, Annan did not tell Salvatore and Hugo about this issue. Nor did he tell Maria and Dmitry.
But by himself - plus a summoner, sneaked over to ask Sir Silver.
During the whole process, Annan never thought about the possibility of "finding other people to help".
"You can handle your private affairs with peace of mind. If there is anything, I will let the Faceless Poet notify you as soon as possible."
Sir Silver said in a gentle whisper: "Occasionally, you can trust others more. Trust your friends more... They are not fools who lose you and are useless.
"After all... you are not a lonely sun god like Mr. Yao.
"You are the light of all lights, the father of all stars."
