Green Monster Epic
#338 - Half-step Legend
So-called civilization, it turns out, is nothing more than this!!
Alan had been secretly observing this human town for more than half a month, and he saw all kinds of dirty things happening in the town one after another. The degree of chaos and cruelty was actually no less than that of the wilderness.
The rich and powerful families eat big fish and meat every day, accompanied by various fine wines and delicacies, and never have to worry about their daily meals. There are also various entertainment activities: cocktail parties, card games. The homeless people who have no money can only lie in dark alleys, enduring hunger and suffering slowly over time until they can no longer survive.
Wealthy families can use money and materials to replace their obligation to serve, throwing all these dangerous jobs to ordinary people and even refugees, and even take this opportunity to make a fortune by exploiting those who have little money left, causing their families to be destroyed. Ordinary people and homeless refugees have to use their thin bodies, which are not well-fed or warmly clothed, to go to the front lines to deal with the ferocious and terrifying demons.
The powerful and noble families regard the so-called laws as nothing, and have done a lot of dirty and nasty things in private, but no one dares to pursue their responsibilities. Most of the young children, teenagers, and women who are captured and plundered have become playthings of these families, and many people know this well, but...
In the wilderness, as long as a person is hardworking and talented enough, his strength can basically determine his status in the tribe; but in this so-called civilized world, strength and talent alone are not enough. Many of those so-called barons, knights, and other figures can't even use a weapon, but they can command those advanced professionals, and even spellcasters have to obey their arrangements.
Alan watched coldly for so long, watching the human tragedies before him, and suddenly felt a sense of emotion.
Alan originally thought that the so-called law of the jungle was only the law of survival in the wilderness, but how is this so-called civilized world not another form of the law of the jungle! It's just that in the civilized world, those so-called civilized and enlightened human races have wrapped this truth in a layer of skin, making the colors and content it displays different, but in fact, the essence is still the same, without much difference.
The strength of the strong in the civilized world is not only the display of individual strength, but also influenced by factors such as status and economy, and even inherited by the next generation of offspring, which is not as direct and straightforward as in the wilderness.
It seems that the most essential law in this world has never changed, even if it is covered with the cloak of so-called civilization and morality, its essence is not much different from the wilderness.
Thinking of this, Alan's entire spiritual world seemed to become much clearer again. In the past, he had many reveries and respect for the civilized world, but at this moment in Alan's heart, the civilized world may have things worth learning, but it has lost the ability to make Alan continue to pursue and advance in their direction.
It is also time for him, Alan, to open up a path that belongs to their tribe for his Greenwood Tribe!!
After returning to the manor, Alan locked himself in the small building and began to recall the earliest memories of the past, and then to the duel with the former chief, Riftclaw, desperately winning the position of chief of the tribe...
There were too many battle scenes that Alan could not forget, as well as the sadness and pain of the deaths of his partners, Stone, Dajiang, and A'Xiao. Alan actually remembered them all in his heart, but he never revealed them to anyone. When these dusty memories and pictures appeared in Alan's mind one by one, feeling and savoring every choice he made, Alan, who was blessed to the heart, was like watching himself at that time, watching things move step by step.
When he was fighting desperately, he was decisive and single-minded, and he was always brave and forward-looking even when facing powerful enemies, and he never had any timidity or weakness; when he was managing the tribe and cultivating the young people in the tribe, he put his heart and soul into it, and regarded the tribe and the tribe as the sustenance and inheritance of his spirit. Goblins will eventually die, but the ethnic groups and tribes composed of goblins can continue to multiply and reproduce for thousands of years, and have the opportunity to never be cut off.
Suddenly, Alan seemed to be enlightened, and finally understood what he wanted and what he had to do!!
Alan's heart was truly clear at this moment, and his spirit suddenly became more sensitive. The countless ancient energies around him and between heaven and earth were now clearer in his perception. The endless starry sky, with stars twinkling, sprinkling streams of energy, connecting the Feynman world and the starry sky, as if the stars in the starry sky themselves had some connection with the Feynman world.
Strands of starlight, under the white sun at this time, cannot be detected by outsiders, but in Alan's spiritual world, they are like pairs of eyes, blinking and watching the Feynman world, paying attention to its every move.
The energy around the body seems to have its own temperament, some are lively and active, some are cold and pure, some are warm and heartwarming... They quietly surround Alan, spying on him, accompanying him, but Alan has never known of their existence in these years. But now, when the spirit perceives their existence, it is like opening a door to Alan, a bridge that can communicate with them.
It's a pity that the bridge and the portal don't seem to be completely completed yet, and Alan can only feel a little bit of emotion, but he can't achieve real communication. Perhaps, these energies themselves are the reason why the legendary strong have a world of difference in combat strength from ordinary warriors.
The light and clear feeling, in Alan's opinion, seemed to be just a short moment, but when he regained his perception of his body, the sky had already changed from noon to late at night. Looking at the position of the red moon in the sky and the changes in the surrounding environment, Alan believed that it was probably not too far from the morning of the next day.
In the spirit, a seed is sprouting. This is the seed of faith that Alan has recognized himself, understood what he needs, and worked hard for. Alan has a feeling in the dark that when the seed in his heart truly grows and can shake the world, it will be the moment when he sets foot on the legend.
So that's what the so-called road to legend is all about!!
Alan suddenly knew what was happening to him. It is said that the road to legend is different for everyone. In fact, it is to let people examine their own hearts and truly understand what they really need.
In the past experience, every decision and every thing that everyone has made is actually a portrayal of their own heart, but it is fed back to the heart through the influence and consequences of reality, so as to bring questioning, flogging, and comfort to the heart...
"Huff!!!"
Alan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the hardships along the way had been worth the cost, and it could even be said that the harvest was very rich.
He is not afraid of struggling and fighting on the line of life and death. This is originally a part of survival in the wilderness. Even if there were no such troubles along the way, wouldn't he have had such experiences in the Greenwood Plain! On the contrary, the road to legend, which has always been clueless, has made Alan feel deeply confused. This time, he came out to find a feeling and experience, but in fact, Alan himself did not know in which direction to look for his own road to legend.
Although it was already late at night, Alan couldn't fall asleep because of this unexpected gain. The exuberant energy urged him to find something to vent. Therefore, in the middle of the night, Alan carried his Bone Chopper and began to slowly and rhythmically perform the basic, instinctive chopping movements on the training ground alone, until a ray of red glow appeared in the eastern sky.
More than half a month later, Alan's injuries finally recovered to a great extent. During this period, in the town only tens of miles away from the front line of the battlefield, Alan witnessed countless demon invasions and countless mobilizations and deployments of human troops. In the distance, on the invisible battlefield, there were occasional bursts of fighting that resounded through the sky, as well as the various visions and powers that were stimulated when legendary figures fought.
"Your Excellency Duke, thank you for taking care of me these days. My injury is almost healed now, and it's time to go back and report for duty."
Rarely, Alan met Duke Angelo and his wife walking in the manor, so Alan stepped forward to bid farewell to them.
Counting it all, Alan has spent a full two months on this mission. I don't know how Kour and the other young people are doing now. In addition, with the spiritual sublimation a few days ago, seeing that the door to promotion to legend has already been opened, Alan's biggest purpose for coming out has been achieved, and naturally he doesn't want to spend any more time here.
Fortunately, Alan remembered Angelo's hospitality and care these days, so he ran to say goodbye to the other party according to human understanding. Otherwise, according to Alan's previous practice, he would definitely have left without anyone knowing.
"Since Warrior Alan is in such a hurry to go back, we naturally can't keep you, but if possible, I suggest that Warrior Alan set off in a few days."
Because of some personal reasons, Angelo had been sending people to pay attention to Allen's every move in the manor, so he had some judgment on Allen's character. At this time, hearing the other party propose to leave, he was not surprised at all, he had been prepared for it. On the other hand, the Duchess was a little surprised, some things she hadn't had time to prepare yet.
"Oh, why is that?"
Allen was a little surprised.
"Warrior Allen, don't worry, my suggestion is only good for you and has no malice. As for whether to accept it or not, Warrior Allen can make the decision himself."
Angelo's eyes were calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. As a Legend, it was already giving Allen a lot of face for him to lower his status and speak to Allen kindly.
Also because of the other party's status and strength, Allen simply nodded after hearing the other party's vague answer.
"Okay, since Duke Angelo said so, there must be a reason for doing so, I will listen to Duke Angelo."
"By the way, this time you return to the Centaur Grassland, are you interested in accepting a mission?"
Angelo nodded slightly. If Allen didn't accept his suggestion, then he wouldn't tell Allen his plans. But since the other party agreed to his suggestion, then it was time to talk to the other party in order to leave a bloodline for the family.
"Duke Angelo, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it, I, Allen, will definitely not refuse if I can help."
Angelo, as a Duke with a respected status, could ask Allen for help in such a calm and friendly tone. Allen didn't think he had any reason to refuse, whether it was for personal or rational reasons.
As long as it was something within his ability, Allen didn't mind using this to gain the friendship of a Legend. He even felt a little secretly pleased. If he could maintain such a relationship with Angelo, perhaps one day he would be able to use this friendship.
After seeing the dawn of Legend, and thinking about the Legend's lifespan of hundreds of years, Allen would have more time and energy to do more things in the future, and he might have to deal with Angelo, this human Legend.
"You have also seen the situation in our Spring Country. To be honest with you, the battle situation is very unfavorable to our Spring Country. I don't know when the demon army will break through our defense line and capture our capital."
"The friendship between the Duchy and my Mason family has lasted for hundreds of years. I cannot betray His Majesty and the country, so my wife and I, as well as our two adult children, will always stick to the land of the capital, unless the capital falls or the William royal family is exterminated."
"However, Fidel is too young, it's useless for him to stay here, and it will only become our burden. Therefore, I was thinking, if Warrior Allen doesn't mind, can you take my boy to Mansha City and settle him down?"
"I will only take him back after my Spring Country falls or the territory is restored."
"Warrior Allen only needs to take Fidel to Mansha..."
"Duke Angelo, don't say anymore, I accept this matter, I will definitely safely take Fidel to Mansha City."
Allen suddenly interrupted Angelo's words. After knowing the reason why the other party asked for his help, everything else was no longer important.
"After all, Fidel has called me teacher for a month. It is right for the teacher to provide some help to the student."
Angelo's past behavior, and today's answer to Allen, whether it was sincere or not, at least let Allen see something worthy of respect. In this human kingdom, Allen had seen too many dirty and despicable deeds. Although he, who was born in the wilderness, didn't care, but to be honest, after some fantasies and pursuits in his heart were shattered, it was still depressing.
Suddenly, an excellent quality flashed on a certain human being. At least in Allen's opinion, he was still a little gratified at this time. Moreover, in Allen's opinion, as long as it was helpful in resisting the demons, then he should assist from the side.
On this matter, Allen did not think of escaping danger from afar like other wilderness natives, but regarded it as his own mission. Because Allen knew very well that if the demon invasion could not be completely resolved, but instead intensified, it would be a catastrophe for their Greenwood tribe.
For this reason, Allen even acted against his own character and directly agreed without even asking what kind of reward the other party would give.
"That, thank you so much!!"
The Duchess felt relieved, her eyes flickered, and she said excitedly.
She had known what kind of person her husband was after decades of getting along. It was false to say that the Duchess didn't feel heartache when her two adult sons were sent to the battlefield, but she had no way to stop it. Now, it was rare that her husband thought of leaving a way out for their youngest son. For the Duchess, who had originally prepared to die with her family, she felt a little relieved, at least one son's life could be saved.
"This Berserker Crystal Inheritance is the reward I give you, I don't know if you are satisfied?"
Angelo's eyes were full of appreciation, and at the same time, a trace of gratitude also appeared in the depths of his eyes. He took out a crystal from his hand and said apologetically.
"My other collections have already been sold almost, and what's left are a few inheritance crystals that I collected in my early years. But I think, as a Berserker advancing, this crystal will be of great help to you, and may have a specialty that suits you."
"Thank you, then I won't be polite."
There was a bit of struggle in Allen's eyes, but he soon relieved himself, calmly took the crystal and put it away.
Originally, Allen didn't plan to receive any reward, it was just a little help to this respectable human powerhouse. Since he wanted to gain the other party's friendship, there was no need to talk about rewards. But Allen thought again, if he didn't receive a reward, I'm afraid this human Duke and his wife might not be at ease, worried that he was just afraid of the Duke's revenge after refusing.
"By the way, I have a magic contract here. Knowing that Duke Angelo has a lot of official business, why don't we finalize the terms of the contract now?"
Allen's initiative to sign a magic contract surprised the Duke and his wife Axe Blade, but because of Allen's actions, they were even more relieved, thinking that their choice was not bad.
"Okay, madam, I'll leave this matter to you."
The Duke nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, the contract was just a formality. If there was trust between each other, everything would be simple. But as parents, they must be a little worried. The Duke didn't mention much, but the Duchess was very careful and listed more than a dozen items, perfecting the task in detail.
After Allen and the Duchess signed the contract, the Duke and his wife's attitude towards Allen became a little closer.
"Teacher, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here!!"
"Dad, Mom, you're here too!!"
Just as they were talking, the lively little Fidel jumped over, interrupting the conversation between the two parties.
"My handsome little Fidel, have you been naughty today?"
The Duchess's eyes were filled with doting. As the child's matter was settled, the time she spent with Fidel was getting shorter and shorter. Maybe they would never have the chance to see each other again in the future, so at this time, the Duchess's heart was filled with mixed feelings. She hugged little Fidel and rubbed him, holding him in her arms and nagging him.
On the side, Duke Angelo also wanted to get closer to his youngest son, but his status and personality made it impossible for him to show his emotions like the Duchess. He could only watch all this with kind eyes.
"Duke Angelo, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Allen was still very sensible. Seeing this scene, he knew that he should give up the space so that the family could have a good gathering.
"Okay, Allen, prepare yourself well. Come and find me in three days, I still have something to tell you."
"Yes, Duke Angelo."
Originally, I planned to spend more time and effort to let Allen understand the laws of the world through the experiences of the people at the bottom of the human Spring Country, so as to sublimate his spirit.
Just like yesterday's chapter, some book friends said that it seemed a bit detached from the main body. In fact, it was all to make Allen realize that even the so-called civilized world is just a layer of skin, and its essence is still connected to the wilderness.
However, as everyone knows, my book has flopped, so in order to end this book as soon as possible, I have cut off a lot of branches.
The promotion of Legend, in fact, in my current writing, has not reached expectations. I originally wanted to make Allen gradually recognize the facts through more brutal descriptions of demons and descriptions of various despicable things of human nobles, and then sublimate the protagonist's will and spirit.
But now the book's subscription is poor, and the website is unfriendly to some content, so I apologize to everyone here.
