Su Mingan turned his head and looked at Xie Lude, who was clenching his fists.

"I want you to at least save my sister before the sirens cause chaos." Xie Lude requested sincerely.

"The siren is making trouble?" Su Mingan heard the word: "The princess is still alive, how can the siren make trouble?"

"Have you ever heard of the 'principle of reciprocity'?" Sherrod said.

"I've heard of it." Su Ming'an said, "So, has it reached a point where even the soul in the princess's body can't suppress the surrounding sea monsters?"

"It's just for safety reasons." Xie Lude said: "Theoretically speaking, the Kraken is not capable of rioting to this extent, but recently, the barrier is unstable and storms occur frequently, and the Kraken seems to be active... If there is a feast at sea,

When Praia's defenses were empty, they took advantage of it and it would be a disaster for us. Not to mention, there are still outsiders causing trouble at the South District Pier and occupying the ships housing our innocent people...

…My sister is among them…”

His tone became more and more urgent, as if he wanted to set out to save people right now.

But he knew it couldn't be done.

As the guard knight of the royal city, it is his responsibility that comes before family ties. Unless Su Mingan personally asks him to save him, he cannot leave.

It is difficult for Su Mingan to understand this kind of chivalry. In his opinion, if a loved one is in trouble, he must be rescued as soon as possible. As long as the royal city is not in danger, then it is feasible to kill first and then report later. Blindly abiding by the rules is just pedantic behavior.

But the young man in front of me seemed to think so.

Su Mingan also knew that Xie Lude must be an important figure in the dungeon.

He is the brightest and kindest knight in recent years according to the princess, and he may become the so-called "brave".

In the flip book in the Central Library, Su Mingan has learned that the meaning of brave in Praia means "the warrior who saves the trouble".

As long as there are brave men, Praia will be able to overcome difficulties again and again.

In the previous history, Praia has also encountered difficult situations that were difficult to withstand, such as invasion by foreign enemies, incoming tsunamis, etc. It was the emergence of so-called "brave men" who helped calm these disasters.

It is more like a spiritual symbol, more like a guiding light. It seems that as long as the brave man is still alive, the recent difficulties will be resolved.

Su Ming'an initially thought that the outsider who could break the battle in Praia, as Su Lin, should be the "brave", but now it seems that this guess is wrong.

After understanding the specific meaning of brave, it is true that Sherrod in front of me looks more like him.

Thinking of the dangerous situation with frequent storms recently, it is indeed a precursor to the coming crisis in Praia.

Then, the so-called brave man, Sherrod, must stay alive to prevent unexpected situations in the level due to the death of this person.

At least for these two days, the brave man must stay alive.

"Xie Lude." Su Mingan slowed down his tone: "I know you really want to save the Pope, but I don't want to lock him up all the time. When the feast on the sea is over and I leave Praia, you will restore normal order."

"..." Xie Lude was silent for a moment.

"Is it necessary?" He said, "Captain."

He called Captain.

"It has to be like this." Su Mingan said.

Sherrod was silent again.

He stood in the most embarrassing position.

On one side is the spirit of chivalry, on the other side is his beloved Grandma Garder and his sister.

All he can choose is to completely abandon his previous beliefs and protect Praia together with Su Lin, a "traitor" who rebels against the gods.

Or, he chooses to stick to his spirit until he watches the person he loves die.

"Do you want to go with me? Save the people at the South District Pier...and your sister." Su Mingan said.

He is forcing.

If Sherrod chooses to agree, then he has completely joined his camp.

The Bright Knight fights for the new king, which is a very orthodox thing. Those ministers who have been lingering at the Soul Hunting Headquarters will also change their minds.

Sherrod sighed.

His hand slowly stretched out, with two necklaces placed on it.

"Please help me give this necklace to my sister. Tomorrow...is her birthday." Sherlude said, "If she...is still alive."

Su Mingan took a look and saw that the necklace was a pendant with a photo inside, and it had the appearance of Sister Sherlude inside.

Obviously, the other party refused.

"In return, the other one is for you." Sherrod said, "Thank you... Your Majesty."

…

[Acquired B-level temporary mission: Immortality]

[Task description: Give the necklace in Sherrod’s hand to his sister.]

[Task reward: Immortal Pendant (red level)*1]

…

It's actually a red-level piece of equipment.

Su Mingan accepted this task, but he couldn't see the properties of the necklace yet.

"Happy birthday to you in advance." Su Mingan took the necklace.

Xie Lude showed an extremely forced smile.

He seemed to want to smile cheerfully, but in the end he just curled his lips.

"I really didn't expect...the captain who once violated the rules of Praia with me and had barbecue with me would be the savior hero sixty years ago." Sherlude said: "But, captain, I still hope that you will

Just captain."

"Some things cannot be solved by 'hoping'." Su Mingan said: "If possible, I also hope that you are not such a bright knight who abides by the rules."

"Can I persuade you to change your mind? Now." Sherrod looked at him: "...Don't go against the wishes of the gods, don't occupy the throne of Praia, and let the struggle between the two clans continue. This is beyond our control.

Thing... if I advise you like this - Captain, would you like to go to the streets of the East District with me again to have barbecue?"

"..." Su Mingan was silent for a moment.

"I know, I heard the princess say, she said, you are 'players'." Sherlude said: "I don't know what it means specifically, I only know that you can travel around the world and travel through various stories.

Time traveler. This sounds enviable.

I also know that you must complete some tasks, such as winning the sea feast, joining an organization, or hunting down a certain soul clan...

The princess said, you only regard us as mechanical gears, as swords or guns in your hands that can be used, but you do not regard us as independent living beings...

In fact, the same is true for Laken (played by Noel). Even if he chatted happily with me, I could see in his eyes that they were not the eyes that treat an equal being.

...But Captain, you seem to be different. You saved Grandma Garde and me. When you talked to me, you also respected my ideals very much. It seems that I have become a soul that you can communicate with on an equal footing in your eyes.

.”

Su Mingan: "Because I always respect those who think independently and have firm ideals."

"...So I am a 'human being'." Xie Lude suddenly laughed.

The sun shone into his eyes, and he smiled extremely innocently.

“…I grew up in Praia and saw a lot of things. Many people have not become an independent ‘person’ since birth, and they do not see themselves as human beings.

"A symbol, a name, a mark engraved on a stone tablet. This is how the sacrificial soul hunters understand themselves, just like firewood and firewood. From the moment they fired the first shot, they regarded themselves as this person.

A piece of brick on a piece of land.

"...Captain, I envy you very much.

"You don't need to carry unforgettable hatred, implement the ideals of generations, and passively fight for the origin of history, and then die on the battlefield where you belong.

"-Because you are free.

"You can choose to take on the tasks you want, and you can freely choose to contact the people you want to contact. You have the power and the power to travel. You can refuse those burdens that make you uncomfortable.

"...But I can't.

"Even if I know that my world may have been invaded, my thoughts may only be composed of purely mechanical elements. Everything I say and do is just something written down on paper step by step. Even

, the mission I shoulder and the chivalry spirit I carry out are all for the so-called 'setting'.

"...I have never even had a life that belongs only to myself, but from beginning to end it is just to welcome you.

"After all, think of me as a character in the story, as a microcosm of the image of the 'Bright Knight' on this land, and as a 'victim' in the spirit of the mission.

"…Or do you think of me as a free soul, a person who can communicate with you independently?

"The difference confuses me.

“Even now, I don’t know whether the reason that prompted me to say this is the so-called ‘personality’ and ‘system’ at work, or whether I have a brain that can organize these nonsense.

"Mission, spirit, light and affinity, these are all innate.

"I'm like a living being made up of everything I was born with. People say this is destiny."

He put his hand on his chest.
