Chapter 266 The Responsibilities of Nobles
In the huge arena, there was no sound.
The audience looked at the bottom in surprise. In the yellow-brown arena, gray-white spikes of thorny flowers emerged, piercing the man wearing black leather armor.
Sharp cone dyed red.
From a distance, it looks like a rotten black leaves fell on the back of a porcupine.
More than ten stone cones penetrate Luo Long's body and a sharp top emerged.
Weirdly, his wound stopped bleeding after just a few seconds.
His flesh and blood were squirming, as if he was about to spread the thorns of rocks.
Not only was Luo Long not dead, he was not in a coma, but instead lay on the flower of the stone cone, thrusting his head hard and glaring at Su Ye.
His eyes were blood red, and he was gasping for breath, like a wild beast. He clearly wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
All the audience could hear the rumbling sounds in Luo Long's throat, as if someone was drinking porridge in big mouthfuls.
The experienced nobles and magicians looked at the priests of the temple of the God of War not far away.
This is what it means after using the fanatic potion produced by the Temple of God of War.
Su Ye stared at Luo Long.
"You are a nobleman, and many of the people here are also nobles. I heard that every noble family has ten volumes of "The Book of Nobles" written by Master Socrates. So, I have a small question. Not a magician. Which nobleman has carefully read the ten volumes of "The Book of Nobles"? After reading it, please raise your hand to signal. As long as you can answer the questions in the book, I will determine that you have finished reading it, and then give you 10,000 gold eagles. If it is not enough, add 10,000."
Su Ye looked around the audience.
The audience was silent again.
There were thousands of nobles present, and none of them raised their hands.
Some young nobles had hesitation on their faces. They had finished reading it, but they had forgotten the content.
Palos moved his hand slightly and then lowered it, staring at Su Ye.
Now you owe me 20,000 gold eagle!
"So, besides the nobles, who else has finished reading the "Book of the nobles"? Please raise your hand and show it."
Master Larence took the lead in raising his hand.
Many masters of the Holy Land and a few golden wizards raised their hands.
A few nobles looked at the magicians with their hands raising their faces burning.
Most of the nobles remained indifferent.
Many civilian audiences looked at this scene with different smiles on their faces.
Only a few civilians began to think.
"It seems that the magician knows the nobles better than the nobles." Su Ye said a playful word, but there was no smile on his face.
Su Ye continued: "Most nobles should not have read the "Book of Nobles", it doesn't matter. I believe that most nobles should have turned the first page and read the first line of the whole book."
"The privilege of the nobles is born." Su Ye's voice suddenly increased.
All nobles instinctively sit upright and straighten their chests, which is what they often hear, and every time they hear this sentence, there is no need to hide their pride on their faces.
The same is true now.
"So, how many of you have read the last line of the last page of the tenth volume of the Book of Nobles?"
The nobles were stunned for a moment, and their straight bodies collapsed slightly.
Only a very few nobles chanted the last line of words in a low voice.
"The responsibility of the nobles, from beginning to end."
Su Ye's tone was extremely peaceful, but it resounded like thunder in the arena.
Many nobles changed their faces.
Many civilians had a look of confusion on their faces.
"You can tell from your face that the nobles only know privileges but not responsibilities."
Many nobles were furious.
Some nobles kept winking at the referee.
The four referees lowered their heads and counted the sand on the ground.
A sneer appeared on the faces of the civilians, and a few civilians even had hatred eyes flashed in their eyes.
However, their eyes looked at Su Ye very softly.
"When it comes to responsibility, I heard a sentence in Lion Port, which was 'The greater the power, the greater the responsibility'. I remember that many sailors were discussing this sentence at that time, and most people were laughing at it."
"I remember it very clearly. Someone said at that time that if you have strength, why should you take responsibility? This sentence is just used to deceive the weak, which is the self-comfort of the weak. A true strong person will never think so."
"I thought his words were very reasonable, until I read the words of Master Socrates."
"The privileges of nobles are born; the responsibilities of nobles are from beginning to end."
"The real meaning of this sentence is that some people, as soon as they are born, have external objects and powers that most people cannot match, but if they want to continue to have these external objects and powers, they must always bear responsibility."
"This sentence is difficult to understand. But we can imagine what would happen if a person is more powerful and more irresponsible?"
"A golden warrior, who likes a girl, doesn't like him. A girl is just an ordinary person, and has no power to restrain him. He doesn't have to be responsible for anything he does, does not have to be responsible for morality, does not have to be responsible for conscience, does not have to be responsible for the law, or even does not have to be responsible for the girl. So, what will he do? I won't tell the answer, everyone understands it."
"A legendary warrior, who likes a city-state and wants the entire city-state to serve him, does not agree. If he is not responsible for anything, what might he do? He can break the entire city by running around the city-state."
"If there is an existence that is countless times stronger than a legendary warrior, his power is too strong that wherever he passes, the world will be destroyed. However, he does not care about everyone's life or anything in the world, then will he never restrain his own strength like a child playing with bugs, walk around and destroy the world at will - even if he does not want to kill people."
"The situation we just mentioned is just imagined. What is the reality? The reality is that if a person's power continues to increase but does not bear the corresponding responsibility, it is not the world that is destroyed, but himself! If the golden warrior really does not control himself, does not assume responsibility, and does whatever he wants, one day he will be destroyed by the power that is stronger than him."
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. This sentence is not to protect others, but to avoid losing control. Responsibility is not to restrain us, just like clothes are not to stop us, but to protect us."
The audiences everywhere had different expressions, some nodded, some were puzzled, some shook their heads, and some were thought deeply.
"If I had just come here, I still couldn't understand Master Socrates' words. It was not until I personally experienced Rick's death, experienced myself being poisoned, deceived, and imprisoned that I really understood this."
"I have had a very simple dream since I was a child. I want Athens to be better, Greece to be better, and the whole world to be better."
"When I was a child, I always saw many things, such as duels, robbery, killing, betrayal, betrayal, pain, anger, suicide... I know very well that I cannot reverse this world, but I must bring good changes to this world and make this world a little better, even if it is just a little better, a little bit is enough."
A gentle smile appeared on Su Ye's face.
"So, I want to become a legendary magician and use the power of magic to make the world a better place. The idea at the beginning was very simple. Once I became a legendary magician, I could change the world, so I dreamed and lived in a mess every day. As I kept reading books and constantly communicating my thoughts with the most capable people in the world through books, I suddenly discovered something."
"Those legendary masters do have powerful power, but they didn't have one before. So, I carefully read their experiences and studied them bit by bit, and found a strange thing. They seemed to have the ability to predict the future. Everything they did seemed to be a step to advance to the legend. They climbed the mountain like ordinary people, easily climbing the legend step by step."
"I felt strange and began to think that something must be hidden here. Because I have a basic thinking principle: If a major and important thing I can understand by simply thinking about, then it must be something I have overlooked. The reason is very simple. If I can really understand the essence of a big thing quickly and deeply, I must be at the peak of humanity, rather than growing in pain."
"I repeatedly studied what they did, and finally found a strange phenomenon. What they did, sometimes, subverted common sense; sometimes, violated the elders; sometimes, lost interests; sometimes, abandoned reputation; sometimes, gave up benefits; sometimes, were denied... In short, from the perspective of ordinary people, they did either did wrong or useless. However, everything they did, whether small or big, had an amazing commonality."
"That is, everything they do points to what they want most, and we can call it a spiritual goal, an ideal, or a mission from the inside out."
"Before making major choices, they do not consider whether they can make money, whether they can have a meal in the future, or how others view themselves, they will only consider whether this matter points to the ultimate goal of their life."
"I suddenly understood this. Only by doing "making the world a better thing" can I become a legendary master. This is my legendary road to Su Ye."
"After I figured out this, I had a ruler in my heart. I often used the two rulers of 'Make the World Better' and 'Legend Master' to measure myself. Why do you have to do it? Should you do it? What should you do? Of course, I didn't do it well. I often forgot to use the ruler, and even used it wrongly. However, I don't demand myself, as long as I keep using it and remind myself that one day, I will be able to do it."
Su Ye glanced at the somewhat confused audience and continued to speak.
"What I do for my dream is my responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the greater the strength, the deeper the essence!"
"It's like there is a magical mountain in this world, and there is a magical box on the top of the mountain. You can get whatever you want. However, this mountain is very high, and you can only open the box by climbing this mountain. Most of us think that the mountain is too high and don't climb. However, those masters and wise men do not consider difficulties or obstacles. They only think of one thing: how to get what they want. Then, they climb the mountain with the purpose of opening the treasure chest."
