Chapter 36 Two Stories

"Tell you a story."

The brother is here again, and Lisa laughed secretly. The brother's favorite way of explaining is to tell stories. There is no way, who makes his sister like to listen to it. Moreover, it is said that in the ancient times of my brother's hometown, it should be considered an ancient era of the last civilization era. People like to express their meaning through stories, which is already a tradition.

"There is a story circulating in my hometown, which happened in the last civilized era (as expected). At that time, the sudden natural disaster and the incompetence of the monarch led to the extremely difficult life of the people and they were almost unable to survive. Then, they caught up with the invasion of foreign races. In order to fight against foreign enemies, they had to collect heavy taxes. The public grievances that were about to break the dam finally broke out. The hungry people who could not survive began to fight against the monarch."

"It's going to die miserably."

"Well, it was really miserable at first, until a strong man stood up and gathered the hungry people and led them to resist tyranny. In the eyes of the hungry people, this man was their hero and they were proud of him."

Lisa stopped talking, she had already begun to understand the metaphor that Shure wanted to do.

"In the end, under internal and external troubles, the incompetent monarch was finally defeated, and the monarch also committed suicide. The hero led the troops of hungry people into the capital, completely ending the tyranny, and was supported by all the people."

"It's indeed a hero." Lisa nodded, "Just like my brother, my brother will be like him in the future and will be supported and admired by everyone."

"I don't want to be like him."

"Um?"

"Do you want to know the story afterward?" Shur said with a sarcastic sneer, "Eighteen days, haha, just eighteen days. The hero who killed the dragon turned into a new dragon, and the hero who overthrew the tyrant became a new tyrant. The hero controlled the country, but within a few days people discovered that his actions were more brutal than the old tyrants and harmed the country and the people more severely. So, eighteen days later, under the attack of foreign enemies and civil strife, the hero was forced to flee the capital and eventually died in the wilderness. The name that was once admired by everyone was also despised by everyone."

"This..." Lisa was a little confused. When she heard this story for the first time, the psychological gap was inevitably a bit big. "Why is this happening? Is it because he had hidden it so well before?"

"No, in fact, according to common sense, he is not that unbearable. He must have extraordinary abilities to be able to take everyone to this point. Only when his mind, strength, and will are the top, can he face a huge empire head-on."

"Like my brother, they are all the best?"

"Ha, should I say shamelessly, right?" Shul smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity that even the top one is useless, because in the eyes of the people, he is a hero, well, unilaterally regards him as a hero. In the eyes of the people, a hero should be selfless and fearless like a saint, but he is just a mortal, greedy for money, lust, and loves power. He will also inflate himself and make mistakes like every mortal. The most important thing is that he cannot satisfy everyone. Ha, no one can satisfy everyone. So the image he created unilaterally collapsed, and the people who were deceived were overwhelmed by anger would naturally imagine that he imagined extremely badly, so the hero became a demon and eventually became a delicious meal for wild beasts."

"But the ending of the fall is mainly due to external troubles." Lisa still understood very well, "If there were no external troubles, it would not have been so miserable."

"Yes, if there are no external troubles, give him a while, maybe he can really completely replace the old dynasty, but what's the use?"

"Um?"

"He did become a new king, but people only fear his power in the future, rather than admire him, and he will never become a hero again." Shuer's smile was full of irony, "And another story happened to be the opposite of him. A powerful minister planned various conspiracies for his king, and finally defeated another old enemy country. On the day of his final success, he quietly left his country with the money occupied by the treasury with the beauty. It is a very bad behavior, and it should be despised by everyone. However, on the contrary, he not only lived leisurely until his life was exhausted, but everyone missed his achievements, admired him, and composed his deeds into stories and sang everywhere, and even passed on to the next era."

"I seem to understand." Lisa said thoughtfully, "Just as my brother said to the silver fool in the afternoon, sometimes taking a step back will give you a wider space, especially for my brother personally."

"That's right." Shuer nodded gently, "Once the community stabilizes, as a one-handed way to promote the establishment of the community, I can be regarded as half a creator. In fact, I am no longer suitable to stand in front."

"Now everyone can work hard because the shadow of the end of the world is always over the head. Everyone instinctively let go of their selfishness and give up some of the benefits. However, once the danger passes, a large number of conflicts will inevitably emerge. If I were still sitting in the position of a decision-maker at that time, it would be quite troublesome."

"The Pavatiga people hope that I will favor Pavatiga. As the key to Lord Luna's recovery of strength, I hope to have the same status as Pavatiga. Lord Anika's followers race can be regarded as the strongest under God. I hope to have a transcendent status. What should I do then? Hey, it is wrong to do anything. There is no correct answer. I can't even forcefully suppress everyone's dissatisfaction, because I only represent Lord Luna, not all gods. Ha, after all, our goal is to wish the Lord to hang on the night sky forever, not alone."

"Actually, everyone understands in their hearts that no one can satisfy everyone, and it is even more impossible for everyone to agree with it. So as long as anyone is not ready to start a war, then whenever anyone sits in that position, all races will make compromises and try to solve the difficulties of the maker, except for me. Because now everyone is used to me that I can satisfy everyone. Once they find out that I can't do it, the huge gap will make me fall into the ending of the first example. I am not eating by wild animals, but the collapse of the image. Only when I am not there and the sharp contrast between the old and new decision makers will make everyone miss me and always think about my strengths."

"If I just want power and status, of course I can continue to sit down in that position. I think I can do it very steadily with my ability, but..."
