"I was the one who lost my mind. I'm ashamed of my actions! I wanted to become a knight so badly that I went against the oath of the God of War! It seems that I really don't have the qualifications to become a knight!”said Galente disappointedly.
"What's so good about being a knight? Can it be used as money? If you just want to be a hero, remember to save your life first! Those who survived were heroes, and those who died were martyrs!”Roger was rather disdainful.
"Bravery is a knight's virtue, the source of a knight's strength!”Jaron, who was reciting the Knight's Doctrine, had a look of longing in his eyes, as if he had already transformed into a brave knight!
" Are you going to charge forward when facing a dragon?" Roger looked at Galent with amusement.
"If it's for justice! Even in the face of death, he should be fearless!”Gerunte clenched his fists, his fanatical eyes like a zealot who was reading an oath.
"Then he's an idiot! Let me tell you, they can become heroes because they survived! History was always written by the victors! If you slay a dragon and you win, you will become a hero and your name will be remembered forever! If unfortunately, the dragon won, no one would remember you. You would only become the dragon's shit!”Roger mercilessly attacked Galent.
"Do you want me to turn around and run away when I face evil?”Galent was very unconvinced!
"What's wrong with running away? If you had run earlier when facing the three-headed monster, perhaps Bartier would not have been poisoned! Besides, even if you became a knight, would you really rush up when you see a dragon?”Roger rolled his eyes in disdain.
"Knights naturally fight bravely!”said Galent firmly.
"Bullshit! You can't even beat me, so you're not even enough to fill the gaps between the dragon's teeth! If you want to be a hero, you must first live! Otherwise, you can only become an Undead Knight! If I were you, I'd think of a way to escape first! Come back and gather your brothers to kill him together!”Roger had a cunning expression on his face.
"Even if we have more people, we might not be able to win against a dragon!”Galent's face turned red as he argued loudly.
"If you can't cut it, then run! Gather more brothers to kill them! If you could not beat it head-on, you could scatter chili powder, dig traps, hit it with a sap, or even sneak attack it when it was having sex with the female dragon. Even if you could not kill it, you could scare it to death! It's better than you rushing up to die! No matter what method you use, as long as you cut down the dragon, you are a hero! Because you defeated evil! Therefore, the people who have obtained a peaceful life will always remember your contributions! They wouldn't care how many times you ran before! He wouldn't care if it was a sneak attack or a Sap! If you foolishly charge forward and die for nothing, what's the point? Evil still exists, but you have become a tombstone! What's the use of your chivalry?"
"You mean-?" Galent was completely confused by Roger's theory. On the continent that was filled with chivalry, there was no such extreme statement like Roger's. This kind of public slander of chivalry would even be regarded as heresy and nailed to the cross!
"It's very simple! Everyone had fear. It was not shameful to retreat in the face of a strong enemy. There was no need to take things too hard! No one could always have the upper hand in a battle. Do you dare to say that those knights did not retreat when the battle was unfavorable? Don't f * cking follow the dogma. Besides, are Knights really that good? As long as you can defeat evil, Thieves can also be heroes! I'd rather be a despicable hero thief than a nameless knight who only knows how to die!”Roger's saliva flew everywhere. He was very skilled at picking up these things. It was no wonder. Didn't you see what he did back then? Back then, tricking his underlings into working for the gang was his specialty!
"You mean I should become a Thief?”Galent was in disbelief.
"Wrong! Class wasn't the key! This wine jug is a wine jug when it contains wine. If I pee in it, it will become a urinal! The reason why your ancestors are remembered by future generations is because of his glorious achievements. Future generations will remember his heroic deeds, not his profession! Think about it, there were many knights in the same era. Why would your ancestors be remembered by future generations and not other knights? Even if you were a necromancer, as long as you chose to fight against evil, future generations would remember your good deeds. If you were evil in your heart, even if you were the Pope, people would still criticize your sins in private!”
"Thank you! Brother Paul, although your idea is very unconventional, it does make sense. I think I know what to do!”Galent's eyes were glowing again. At this moment, Roger did not realize that because of these words, a famous rogue knight would be born on the continent!
"Don't thank me. I've never been a good person! My kindness is only for my own people. Don't be my enemy. You'll regret it!”Roger patted Galent's shoulder and ended the conversation.
With three former mercenaries and Chris who was very familiar with the Crimson Forest, Roger no longer had to worry about getting lost. Magical beasts like the Fang-bared Wolf were nothing in front of the powerful Bartier, so he was safe and sound throughout the journey. However, Roger was still at a loss about finding the Emerald Dream. Not to mention a legendary place like the Emerald Dream, Roger knew almost nothing about this continent. After thinking about it, Roger, who was at his wit's end, finally found Gero to discuss a solution.
"I suggest you form a mercenary group first!”Ge Luo suggested.
"Oh-? Tell me." Roger was a little surprised by this suggestion.
"Although you have the identity of a hero's successor, you are not a noble after all! Therefore, you can't directly go up to the upper echelons of the Empire, so you can only develop among the people. Fighting for hegemony is inseparable from war, and developing private armed forces is the most suitable route. At that time, your identity as the successor of a hero will allow your mercenary group to gain many supporters! Of course, forming a mercenary group will also be of great help to you in helping Pratt find the Emerald Dream!”Ge Luo said confidently.
"You know about the Emerald Dream?" Roger immediately perked up at the mention of the Emerald Dream.
"The Emerald Dream is the holy land in Plainz's heart. As Plainz, of course, I have heard of the legend of the Emerald Dream. It is said that some powerful souls of Plainz have been there! According to their memories, entering the Emerald Dream was a very accidental situation, but the exact location of entering the Emerald Dream was different! The only thing he was sure of was that one's soul strength had to reach a certain level to reach the Emerald Dream. Although the exact location of the Emerald Dream was unknown, one thing was certain. Every time Plainz entered the Emerald Dream, he would accidentally enter the sparsely populated primitive forest!”
"What does that have to do with the mercenary group?”Roger looked at Gero in confusion.
"Searching for the Emerald Dream requires a source of information. The adventurers of the Mercenary Guild are usually adventurers who travel around the continent. Those places where there are few people or dangerous environments are usually where they are active. Moreover, when the mercenary group's level is high, they can also share a large amount of internal information with the guild. As long as we keep searching, we will definitely find traces! In the future, when you are ready to start a rebellion, the mercenary group will be your personal armed force and your first bargaining chip to conquer the world!”Speaking of this, Ge Luo waved his arms excitedly, giving off the feeling of pointing out the country.
"You're thinking quite far ahead." Roger smiled playfully.
"You seem to be suspecting me?" Even though he said that, Gero didn't seem surprised.
"It's strange for a mercenary like Plainz to be a mercenary, but this commoner mercenary not only understands the nobles but also has the ambition to conquer the world. I'm really surprised.”
"You are very suspicious. Please forgive me for not being able to answer your question for the time being, but when the time is right, I will definitely reveal the answer to your question.”Gero hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not answer Roger directly.
"It's okay. I can wait." Roger looked at Gero's fat figure and said thoughtfully.
However, Roger gladly accepted Fatty's suggestion and decided to register a mercenary group as soon as he left the forest.
Bartier did not have any objections to this. After all, this was his old profession. He only nodded his head to indicate that he agreed. Then, he continued to hug the axe in a daze, as if nothing could stop his passion for the axe.
Little Kris was extremely excited. It seemed that she had been yearning for an adventurous life for a long time. Seeing that the little girl was pulling up her arms and sleeves, ready to do something big, Roger wondered if the little girl had predicted this day when she approached him!
After Roger's mental work, Galente also regained his vitality. During this time, Roger had to do very simple things. First, he kept observing all the plants around him. He found that when he concentrated, he could easily feel the changes in the plants around him. The tender leaves slowly opened, the petals slowly opened, the vines that were trying hard to stretch, the roots that were stretching down... He could feel all the subtle changes that were happening to these plants!
This feeling was too magical!
Roger tirelessly observed all the plants around him. He was often immersed in it and forgot everything around him. As long as he stared at a plant, he would be able to establish a connection with it and feel all the changes in it. Even though he was still walking and was getting further and further away from the plant, he could still feel everything that was happening to the plant!
However, the consequence was that he would often go astray from the direction of the team or accidentally bump into a tree because he was too focused! So Little Kris kept reminding him of the direction to go, or pulling him away the moment he was about to kiss the tree! In the end, the little girl tied a vine around Roger's waist and led him away!
The second thing Roger did was to learn combat aura!
The earth of this world was filled with all kinds of elements. Earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, and so on were all elements of different attributes.
