Chapter 54 The Black Prince

"I think the human spirit is like an island floating in an unknown ocean. Floating around in a dark and perilous sea, surrounded by a fog of stupidity. All we have to do with this island is break open the sea of ​​ignorance, The arrival of knowledge is ushered in. Although some people will denounce it as the devil, and denounce this kind of knowledge as a nightmare, but I think this is the power necessary for human progress. What we welcome is not the praise of a few so-called "elites", but countless human beings The peace I pray for."

On the carriage, a young man in black was holding a beautifully sealed Bible in his hand. Under the watchful eyes of the sweaty old man in religious attire, this young nobleman in pitch-black expounded his thoughts in a nonchalant voice. view.With an elegant yet majestic voice, he told the old man in front of him rebellious remarks that were enough for him to be burned ten thousand times.

"It is because of wisdom that we have gradually come to where we are today from the weakest creatures, Mr. Pastor. Not through gods, and not through spiritual beliefs. I have seen those who are only described in poetry on the battlefield of hell. One by one, the monsters who had passed away fell in front of the brave warriors. And those fears that could not be described in words were also wiped away by the mages one by one. This is not a gift from God, but from people. We use the palm of our hands to We have created everything we have today. We have conquered plains, mountains, canyons, and oceans. Finally, we will conquer hell and heaven. This is the natural mission of every human being. We shoulder the greatest challenge of this era. Power, in the same way, we must spread this greatness to any corner of our eyesight. This is our destiny, the destiny of all human beings."

"His Royal Highness Prince……"

Looking at His Royal Highness who was uttering rebellious words in front of him according to the scriptures, the old pastor could only take out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, praying that no one would find out about the conversation in the pony carriage .

The Black Prince, His Royal Highness, the prince of the third sequence of the empire, was a powerful prince who was the head of the legion on the border of hell.He respects the old and loves the young, unexpectedly has no interest in the throne but is keen on leading the army, and is known as the Black Iron Prince.The age is only 26 years old, it can be described as young and frivolous, the perfect idol in the eyes of many teenagers and girls, the lover of dreams.It can even be said that His Royal Highness the Black Prince can be regarded as an idol of the whole people to some extent, representing the martial arts and royal power of the empire.

But this seemingly perfect prince has a big problem.

He is an egoistic fantasist.

This black prince always throws out some self-astonishing words at certain times, and then spreads such things to the eyes and ears of the people around him without hesitation.He is used to wearing clothes that symbolize darkness and rebellion, and he often fantasizes that there are still some undiscovered powers in his body. Although the mages have tossed back and forth more than a dozen times, the prince still believes that he has some power. This power has not been developed.Moreover, he often wields all kinds of weapons and poses in the poses and postures in the novel, and shouts out the dialogue in the novel.That shameful look is really beyond words.

And it just so happened that the old pastor was one of the insiders who knew about the Black Prince's illness.Faced with the sudden emotion and rebellious behavior of his third prince, the old man soon realized that he was going to be in trouble.It is impossible for the Black Prince not to make this kind of thing known to everyone, and he is very keen on persuading others to recognize his ideas.

So under the horrified gaze of the old priest, the black prince stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, then slowly said to the old priest.

"In the eyes of gods, we mortals may be like puppets, right? Let those high gods swing, just like playing with chess pieces on a chessboard, move around according to their rules, and communicate according to their ideas. The world The rules operate according to the ideas of those superior guys. And what about us human beings? We can only believe in him, we can only obey them, and let them feel happy and joyful, so that we can be showered with so-called divine grace. This is actually Is it above the rewards cast by the audience after the acrobatic troupe performed?"

My god, if you say that, the Imperial Mages will be the first to kill the star realm and start singing and beheading people.Those masters don't care what kind of god you are, if you don't like it, they will kill you.Isn't it rare for this god to be cut off by those masters?The religion directly gave up the Personality God and turned directly to the nihilistic belief. This is all the credit of the Imperial Mages.

But the old pastor didn't dare to say this to the black prince who was in high spirits.He could only sweat more and more on his face, said yes again and again, and then prayed to the gods in his heart, hoping that he would not fall into the pit of hell after death.

"That group of gods is really too arrogant, they are incompetent."

The mortal prince sat securely in the carriage, holding the Bible in his hand, and arrogantly appraised the power of the gods.

"Why should the power of nature be in the hands of those gods? Why can't human power be in control of nature? We have developed artillery with our own strength, and built star castles with our own efforts. Those angels and The demons don't even have any way to resist our brave knights' decisive assault head-on. This is the power of humans, not gods. But why do we chant the name of gods before the assault? It's very unreasonable, isn't it?"

"What you said is, what you said is, it is indeed a little unreasonable..."

If these words are exposed, the people in this carriage will really have no good fruit to eat.The Black Prince might be okay because of his noble status, but the priest is not a big shot.Thinking of this, the old pastor wiped his cold sweat with his hands.He raised his head and looked outside, and he was relieved after confirming that the coachman outside was a trustworthy person who wouldn't talk nonsense.

"So what do you think? What slogan do you think we should shout? When the knights shout God Bless, it can indeed greatly boost morale, but if we change a slogan, we must at least change it to one that can boost morale?"

"Well, what you said is very reasonable. I can't affect the combat effectiveness of the army because of my temporary likes and dislikes."

This young man with two identities of a second-year-old child and an excellent commander rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.It is really difficult for him to choose between his own interests and the possibility of the army's combat effectiveness declining.

After contemplating for about a minute, His Royal Highness sighed.A smile soon appeared on the pastor's old face.Because this means that His Royal Highness has finally realized the cruelty of reality and stopped tossing about.This method of looking at the key from the subtleties is not something that can be noticed once or twice, but the experience gained after suffering.

"let it go."

Sure enough, as expected by the old pastor, the Black Prince waved his hand with a look of displeasure, and gave up his proposal.

"After all, the soldier's feelings are the top priority. If the soldier doesn't like it and I like it, then it doesn't make any sense. Let's give up on this kind of thing before I find a new common ground. But those mages can use it— —”

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I don't want to shout any slogans, it will scare me."

A thick man's voice suddenly came from the carriage.

Ordinary people might be scared to death by this sudden sound, but the Black Prince and the priest just raised their eyebrows, and quickly set their eyes on a birdcage hanging in the carriage.Sure enough, as they expected, a green parrot was standing proudly in the cage with its wings stretched out. The manly voice just now came from the bird's mouth.

It should be regarded as the evil taste of this mage. The owner of this voice likes to use various birds to convey his message.So even in the carriage, the Black Prince and the priest could only put an empty birdcage.When there is news, such as now, a special spell can be used to teleport the bird to announce the news he has received.

"Now I have good news and bad news, Your Highness." The parrot in the birdcage tilted its head, and its paws firmly grasped the horizontal bar inside. "Do you want the good news first? Do you want the bad news first?"

"Listen to the bad ones first, I don't have such a good mental quality." The Black Prince frowned and said.

"Then the bad news is that Black Prince, your Mithril Golem was snatched away at a very high price. The other party is a very powerful wizard. Even if it is your father, His Majesty the King of the Empire will look at him. You raised your hands and surrendered. So in the face of the assassins sent by hell, you unfortunately can only choose to use magic items to ensure your survival."

"This is really bad news... Could it be that some dark organization wants to bury me? My power has not awakened." The Black Prince frowned even more, and muttered in a low voice.Then he looked up at the parrot and said, "So what's the good news?"

"The words of good news are very simple, just a few words."

The green-skinned parrot seemed to be showing off, and it spread its wings and flapped it twice in the eyes of the Black Prince and the priest's irritated eyes, and then slowly spit out a sentence after it had enough posture.

"Congratulations on your graduation, Your Highness."

"...can you repeat that? I think there's something wrong with my ears."

"You heard me right, Your Highness." The parrot tilted its head.

"You're going to school, live a happy assassination life with those stupid students who listen to your stories, and those teachers who wantonly abuse you. You will gain countless enemies in that academy , will also gain countless notorieties. But there is absolutely no need to worry about security issues, because the security level has been greatly improved with the help of a great wizard. So please enjoy your perfect college life, Your Highness."
