People in Mond, arrogant sun, not hated

"You didn't choose to run away. Although I said that I would not keep the current records, I didn't expect you to have such perseverance at your age. I only planned to try once or twice."

Timmy in front of him was panting heavily, his body trembling with fear.

"Because... because the effect of this teaching method is worth my effort."

This kind of opportunity to quickly increase strength in a short period of time without real injury is really rare.

It can be called [opportunity].

In layman's terms, it's a hang up.

So you must not let it go.

This kind of thinking is undoubtedly naive. When you are really killed to despair, everything is full of regrets, but in the end even the regrets will not be remembered.

So ideas are really cheap stuff.

"Oh, let me ask during the break, Timmy, what kind of ideals do you have now?"

Elmes asked this boy who was deeply influenced by him.

Even if no one can understand, there is also some kind of chaotic pursuit in his eyes.

Timmy, is an excellent [subject].

As a person changed by him.

If he hadn't interfered, the boy feeding the pigeons in front of him would probably have lived an ordinary life.

He will continue to feed pigeons on the bridge and be looked down upon by others, and then he will not be able to wait for his father's return until he grows up, and then maybe many years later, after marrying a wife and having children, he will understand the truth of the matter under some unexpected circumstances, and then A bitter cry or a relieved smile.

He will live an ordinary life without ups and downs.

At least it won't be like it is now. At this age, I have worked hard to hone myself, and my eyes are shining with dazzling light.

Is this good or bad?Was the choice he made at the beginning right or wrong in the end?

It's about changing someone's life.

He never thought of himself as a good guy, because he never found out whether he did something good or not.

I thought I could use my strength to make everything better than it was, but this kind of arrogant interference hurt people who wouldn't be hurt....

Such a thing, such a feeling, the result of seeing.

He knows it.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously felt a little upset.

This is a knot in his heart.

"Is it ideal? For me, it should be regarded as a more vague thing. There is no substantial end mark like a chef adventurer, and some are just goals with no end in sight."

"Who taught you to speak like a riddleman? Tell me directly."

Timmy scratched his head, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he still chose to speak his mind.

"I want this world to be more [gentle] for humans, but it's a bit inappropriate to describe it like this... To put it more directly—"

"I wish there were fewer people like me in this world."

This answer was beyond Elmes' expectations.

"what?"

Timmy took out the horn hanging on his waist, remained silent, and continued after a while.

"Immortal, we currently have 14073 registered families in Mond, which sounds quite a lot, but immortal, do you know how many of these families have parents who are still alive? I also asked the knight sister to get a list and secretly count I only found out later that more than 40% of our Mond families are as handicapped as mine, and they don’t even have a complete family.”

This world is too dangerous for "human beings.

The climate and terrain are almost sinister, there are irresistible monsters walking on the ground, and disasters in the abyss and the open sea will erupt from time to time. Without the protection of the demon god who is born to love, presumably, even if the first human beings can survive, they will not develop to today's scale .

The land where they have been able to stand and live so far was purchased with the blood and tears of the heroic spirits of the past era, and it has been the protection of the gods for thousands of years.

The demon god of Beifeng chose to give up his position and sacrifice himself.

The demon god of the stove returns power and wisdom to the earth to suppress disasters.

Lei Ying, who was the incarnation of the first generation of Thor, is still absorbing the disaster of Daozuma, even if the body is dead, it is still eternal.

These are the gifts and offerings of God.

So, what can [people] do?

He read those books, only to find that human beings are so powerless in the face of this world.

So, on a sunny afternoon, he suddenly had an absurd and even blasphemous idea.

"I am not denying the sacrifices of heroic spirits in the past, but if there is no god, but I think...the protection of gods may not only be a gift, but from a certain perspective, does it limit the development of human beings?"

He once asked the librarian Miss Lisa about the origin of the relic guard, but got an answer that surprised him.

This "monster" with a body of steel and the explosive power of cannonballs was actually created by humans in a country in the past.

He couldn't help thinking idealistically.

If there are thousands, or even tens of thousands of relic guards, then is it true that human beings can't match the gods.

What God can do, man cannot?

Let the relic guards who can automatically search for enemies expel all monsters around the country, use technology to improve the environment that is not conducive to planting and survival, and let magicians and researchers explore the essence of energy and remove it.

Although it may be difficult, human beings with short lives are not like this. No matter how difficult the subject is, as long as the results are passed on from generation to generation, the problem will be solved one day, and mankind will move forward.

At that time, in a world where there is no need to worry about natural disasters and monsters, people should be able to live and reproduce with more confidence, the population growth should increase, and there will be more cities in the country.

In that era... There shouldn't be many incomplete families like him, as it is now.

All young children should be able to receive education, be able to see the smiles of their parents after returning home, and grow up feeling the love of their father and mother.

He wanted to see an era like that.

Even if in essence it may just be self-satisfaction in this way.

But even so, he still wants to have such a beautiful dream.

Elmes was silent for a long time.

He never imagined that he could hear such noble and fairytale ideals from the mouth of this 12-year-old child.

Although he is not open due to the limitations of knowledge and structure, does not understand the sinister human heart, does not understand that things backfire, and does not know the truth and limitations of the demon gods and the world, but these do not hinder the height of his desire.

This kind of thinking is even equal to or even surpassed Keqing who also wants to prove human beings from the perspective of "high and far-reaching.

What Keqing wants to prove is that man can conquer the sky, and hopes that one day man will be able to replace the gods.

But what Timmy thinks—

The negative is 【Era and System】.

He vaguely realized the limit of the age of gods.

This is very obvious. In the thousands of years of God's rule of the world, although most of them can live and work in peace and contentment.

but--

However, the number of cities has not increased. The population of each era has not changed much compared to before and after. The progress of science and technology is slow, and [-]% of the wisdom is devoted to the hard-to-understand elemental force. In the end, even this aspect is getting slower and slower.

The age of God is coming to an end.

This is also the key to why the ruling gods are preparing to abdicate.

The world as it is today is God's limit.

The rule of the gods has given mankind a lot, but it has been unable to continue to improve, and it cannot make the current Tivat better.

Then let the human beings who have not reached the limit continue to move forward. Only their footsteps can go further and create a better era.

The age of God has ushered in the closing bell, and the age of man is ready to move forward.

But Elmes has a complicated expression.

With such thoughts and ideals, who would have imagined that he was just a kid feeding pigeons at the gate of the city and waiting for his father to come back.

Such [influence] and [change] are too obvious.

He really felt a little bit.

I distorted the life that originally belonged to Timmy. The butterfly flapped its wings and flew a stone that was originally on the ground hundreds of meters into the air.

Is this really a good thing?

It's like a script that has experienced bitterness and deep hatred. After countless pains, losing friends and relatives, and finally defeating the enemy, the achievements are remembered by everyone in history and enjoy endless glory.

He married a beautiful wife, lived a happy and peaceful life in a small mountain village with good neighbors, and lived a happy and peaceful life. Finally, he died happily surrounded by his children, but no one knew about it.

Life can be divided into dynamic and static, or close to the mediocrity in the middle, but the most important thing is to be able to live a life without regret before death.

The important thing is to choose the path you want to take.

Not to be interfered with, not to be shaken, lucky enough.

That's it.

but--

Timmy in front of him, maybe...he shouldn't have taken this path, maybe it would have been better if he didn't take this path.

He still changed too many people.

"...Although it is a bit unsuitable now, childhood ideals are quite fragile. Maybe after you have experienced more things, you will feel that your current ideas are too whimsical. Maybe you Will choose to give up and choose a more ordinary and stable way of life."

He suddenly subconsciously picked up the spray in his hand, but slowly put it down with hindsight.

Elmes, stop denying your past choices.

He suddenly felt that he was entangled and annoying. Since Yula's incident, he can't be as frank as before when it comes to the same thing.

""Don't care about him so much"

Elmes watched him look up.

The eyes are full of surprise.

And Timmy frankly expressed his sincere thoughts.

"Think about things in the future and warn yourself. If you keep thinking about it, it's a kind of escape. People who live in the present must of course think about the present, so--don't worry about him so much. Since he is not restrained, then Just be free to carry out your own ideas.”

and so--

【Don't care about him so much】

After finishing speaking, Timmy, who was originally quite excited, finally looked at Elmes who was suddenly silent, almost thinking that he had accidentally pissed him off.

But before he was about to apologize, Elmes spoke.

"Don't care about him... I think too much, that's all, but, I really hate being taught when I grow up."

"Timmy, do you regret knowing the truth about your father?"

"I haven't regretted it since I knew it."

Elmes paused, but still chose to speak.

"But if you don't know, you can live a more leisurely and happy life. According to this fairy's divination, your fate was unintentionally rewritten. If you want to turn around now—"

But he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"No, I am very grateful to the person who changed my life. Whether it is intentional or not, he has created [the current me]. I have some yearning but now I don't envy the ordinary, because now I have my own way to go. .”

Elmes was suddenly stunned.

This may be the first time he really heard thanks from the people he influenced.

I didn't expect...it would be such a feeling, it's really unbelievable.

There is a feeling of finally being recognized.

The Mole smiled happily, and the smile was just happy.

"Well...then Timmy, you want "power."

"Well, I want a "power" that can change the times.

This is not simply combat strength and wrist strength, but a collective term for all technologies and abilities that can achieve goals. Whether it is speech skills, superpowers, or financial resources, if you want to realize the most general and broad ideals, you need more concepts. the power of.

His apprenticeship learning is just learning the kind that is the most panacea and the most convenient to learn.
