Chapter 339 The First Movement: The Poem of Awakening (16): The Knight
Marseille Negu used three sets of analogies in a row to demonstrate that "court love" is a secret exchange of concepts.

Although the matter itself is not considered "gossip", this type of discussion on the topic of "love" can obviously arouse everyone's interest.

Especially girls' interest.

Camilla and Ann adjusted their seating positions. Even Luna's expression was very serious. Only Troy himself was still listening to the bard's music attentively and studying the piano skills under their fingertips.

The fire crackled, sparks and soot rose, and Fanning blinked in thought.

"Love you have never had is not love, and your argument against 'court love' is quite convincing." He swayed the champagne in his glass, "but what amuses me is that your clothes, your martial arts Demeanor . . . like a knight."

The point of view itself is brilliant.

However, "court love" is a code of ethics that accompanies the chivalry system, and this "interest-related" contrast makes Fanning find it inexplicably interesting and funny.

"My ancestors have served as several knight commanders of the city-state of Misin, the city-state of Tia, and the Paradogos Islands. The last few were two or three hundred years ago."

The dense bubbles rose and burst in the wine glass of Marseille Necoud, and he explained the reason why Fanning said "like a knight".

"Ah! This is too cool, so Mr. 'Guide' sitting in front of me is not a 'knight culture enthusiast', you are a real famous knight commander from the Principality of Mixin!" Camilla praised.

"Ding...boom...ding...boom..."

"You have to figure out a truth: 'not belonging to the current era' does not mean 'losing vitality', or more bluntly, does not mean 'losing the market'."

"Oh no, I agree."

The girls gradually had the feeling of listening to heroic stories, and Fanning seemed to have this feeling in a trance.

"So what is your desire?" Fan Ning asked curiously, "Being commissioned, promoted to a high position...to improve sword and spear skills? Do more commissions, to be promoted to more advanced sword and spear skills? Finally earn a Big money and being at the top??"

"The main thing is that the money comes quickly." Masai Negu replied.

"The only thing left in the session is the 'Oath of Conferment'." He shook his head and smiled, "Why is that? Of course, the people are wise, and only fools follow the steps honestly and consume their minds. Everyone only loves 'Picking Peaches' ', as long as the last step is cumbersome enough, comfortable enough, and enough to exhaust a few days of preparation energy, they will have an illusion that 'hard work will eventually pay off'."

After hearing this, Luna's elder sister, Camilla, found that this was not the same as her ideal image of a knight. She was a little disappointed at first, but she felt that it was not so disappointing, and it was more interesting. She couldn't help it. commented:

"The 'result' is the truth, not the 'process'. Smart people are always good at achieving the biggest goal with less energy."

"How can one become a knight or even a nobleman now? You don't need to start as a squire, you don't need to build armor, you don't need military training, you don't need to fight or serve, you don't even need a horse...you just need a politics Donations, or some small accomplishments in various fields, you can get the title of 'Jazz', and those wealthy big factory owners can climb the clouds all the way..."

"So you are a fame seeker... oh, forgive me, there is no derogatory content, just summarizing your own point of view... You have chosen a path that can achieve your desires more efficiently, which makes sense, everyone Everyone has desires, we praise the 'Fanghua Poet' precisely because He can always satisfy our desires with various gifts, but I didn't expect you to speak so frankly..."

This is the second time, this person always comes with a bunch of foreshadowing arguments, and then when you think he is going to draw a logical conclusion, he makes a sharp turn.

"The profit-seeking factory owners and business owners are not fools. They find that the knight and aristocratic system is still a sharp weapon, a sharp weapon to consolidate and transform their economic status upwards. They realize that it is still in the industrial age. There is a 'market value'...Many people like to criticize 'anyone can become a knight nowadays', but they don't know that the canonized people are still at the top of the social pyramid, and nothing has changed since the Middle Ages to the Steam Revolution!"

A deep and passionate tango, the charming passion undercurrents and surges under the beat.

The poignant repetitive patterns of the lute faded under Fili's fingertips, and another troubadour, Martini, played the accordion.

"It can be seen that you have a critical attitude towards this phenomenon." Fanning couldn't help but nodded seriously.

"Why not?" Marseilles shook his head and smiled, "First of all, no one has a more legitimate background than me. Secondly, I accept all legitimate commissions, and I never do things that violate principles such as bullying and bullying. Finally, the code of chivalry The rule is not to lie."

"As for me, why don't I use a better starting point? There is still a market for a 'famous orthodox family' like me. I have made precise considerations, combining my own desires, conditions and qualifications... I found that only But sacrifice some freedom and privacy, just put on a little bit of moral shackles, pick up those exquisite etiquette in the past, sort out the honor of the ancestors, and tidy up the personal image, and you can get in touch with what might have taken 20 years to get in touch with. One can become a guest of a big man in a principality, get one famous title after another, one after another generous donation and entrustment... For a "result theory" person, how to make a life plan, To achieve your own desires, it is clearer."

Masai Negu's next words made Fan Ning stunned.

Enjoying the swaying rhythm, the knight poured himself another glass of champagne.

In fact, as a modern person in the previous life, I got used to it after seeing a lot of such phenomena: fast-food-style romantic love, "quick landing in 45 days", "quick piano training in 90 days", training and refresher classes do not pay attention to listening to lectures but to group photos and Certificates...they're all quite marketable.

He smiled and drank the pink clear liquid: "I can choose not to inherit those historical honors, because it is now the 10th century in the new calendar, and in the era of guns, giant ships and airships, no one will force me Make a choice... If I say goodbye to the family's past, I can have a freer identity, more secure privacy, and less moral constraints when doing personal things, but in the end, I chose to inherit..."

Fanning, who was listening to the story with relish, was stunned.

"The chivalry system has gone downhill for hundreds of years. It first existed in name only in the Northern Continent during the steam revolution, and then it is here... As a descendant of the Knight Commander family of the United Kingdom of Phaidon, a man with experience in guiding, fighting, sword and marksmanship I don't disgrace the descendants of my bloodline, but I actually have a lot of room to choose..."

He clinked glasses with Fan Ning: "Think about it, now it is said that the knight system is 'existing in name', but is it actually dead? No, do people despise it? No! Everyone hates it and the higher nobles They are very enthusiastic about the titles! The 'Oath of Conferment' ceremony is becoming more and more grandiose, and the price list of political donations is also increasing year by year..."

The girls listened too much, Troy was immersed in the music, and Chretien went to other bonfires to clink glasses... When it comes to "flattering", he is a professional.

"So in this industrial age, you chose to inherit because of the belief and glory in your heart, right?" An asked.

Banknotes are a good thing at any time, and Fanning has a deep understanding of this. It is needed to improve social status, to develop artistic careers, and even Extraordinary resources can rely on the "gold pound replacement method".

Marseille Negu shook his head: "Making money is a process goal, but not the ultimate goal. From the central topic of today's discussion 'court love', my ultimate goal is completely opposite to their elder brother, Mr. Troy..."

"Frankly speaking, among my ancestors, there were many such things, such as 'declaring allegiance, accepting favors, ladies condescendingly looking down, knights chanting love songs under the tower'...it is obviously 'sentimental sadomasochism', Some people insist on calling it 'elegant love', and I was born to doom my knight-master ancestors."

The wise man, a descendant of the knight family, said, snapped off the shell of the Pipi shrimp in his hand, and threw it into his mouth:
"I plan to fall in love with a daughter of a royal noble family. The daughter of an earl is reluctant, and the daughter of a duke is even better. There is no upper limit on the class. It doesn't matter if she is a married lady or an unmarried daughter. If you like her, you will marry her." When you get it, you truly possess it from body to heart.”
