Chapter 201: The Childhood of the City Lord
Before becoming the city lord, he never thought that after becoming the city lord, he would have to shoulder such a heavy burden. He was not the kind of person who was willing to be bound by responsibilities, and no one had ever restrained him since he was a child.
Even the routine exams that all children had to take at that time he easily dodged. Although the teacher in the private school was furious because of this incident and called his father, the old city lord, over. At that time he really
He was scared to death. His father had always been a majestic presence, especially to his brother. Maybe it was because his brother had high hopes since he was a child. He could always see his father severely reprimanding his brother. Because of this, he had been scolding his brother since he was a child.
Growing up, he had tried his best to restrain himself from making too many mistakes, lest his father would vent his anger on him. But he didn't expect that he didn't go to the exam, and the teacher still brought him to his father's house, watching his father come.
When he arrived at the private school, he was pounding in his heart, thinking that he might be scolded by his father today.
But the situation he imagined did not happen, and the thing he had been worried about did not happen. His father did not scold him, and even after returning home, he did not even mention the matter again. After that, it may be because the teacher also discovered that the city lord
He has given up on his youngest son, so he has less and less supervision over his studies. He has become a completely free man. This is exactly what he wants. He doesn't like old academics standing on the podium.
The things he talked about were completely meaningless to him. He preferred courses that were more experimental. He had been an adventurous person since he was a child, so since his father didn't care about the teacher or the teacher, he was completely immersed in his own world.
, basically spending all day and night in the library, looking at maps and collections of ancient texts about the world, hoping to use this knowledge to understand the world, enrich my brain, and lay a solid foundation for traveling around the world out of the city gates in the future.
But the books and maps he had spent so much time reading and studying and the routes he had drawn countless times had all lost their meaning. The countless notebooks and papers he had used had all turned into waste paper. Now for him to leave the city gate.
Just to protect the tranquility of the city, he would never think about his previous dreams again. Occasionally when he dreamed back at midnight, he would think of all the things he had done and the efforts he had made for his dreams. He would just smile indifferently and say with a smile, "In the past,
You are still so young and don’t know that things are impermanent and everything is changing.
He was not familiar with the people in front of him, or even if he was familiar with them, he couldn't see the person's specific appearance in such an environment. He relied on his voice to judge the person's age, gender and personality. Of course, this was very different from reality.
, but there is no way. This is the punishment God gave to the city after losing the crystal. Except for the central area, the entire city has turned into a desert. On weekdays, yellow sand often rolls up all over the sky, covering the entire sky.
Get up, and even if there is no sandstorm, even if it is clear and cloudless outside, it is completely useless. This is the effect of the curse. The curse has changed the entire area, and the entire area includes the voices and smiles of all the people who appear in this area.
Varies with region.
He was generally aware of the personalities of the personal guards under his command. Some of them did have bad personalities and were harsher towards others, but he didn't take it to heart. He thought it was just the impulse of young people. Thinking back to those days
I am also a passionate young man who wants to take care of any unfair things. I hate those who disrespect me even more, and I wish I could get rid of them quickly. But at that time, I already had what I am now.
With a bodhisattva heart, he knows that everyone’s thoughts are different, and it is precisely because of these differences that the world becomes more beautiful, so being able to tolerate others is a virtue in itself. But he does not treat himself like this with himself
He uses high standards and strict requirements to restrain his subordinates. He believes that young people should behave like young people. And forcibly using his own ideas and opinions to restrain other people's behavior is what he hates the most. Because of this, he has some objections to these
He also turns a blind eye to most of the young people who are too rude or the guards who are not respectful and friendly to the people. He believes that as these guards grow older, they will always understand his words and deeds.
What's more, these young people also have the same ideals as me. They are not bad people, they just have a vulgar character. This may be because they have not been exposed to such strict etiquette education as themselves since they were young.
"Hurry up and stop him. I think he is no match for those few people alone. It's better not to get hurt. Besides, our main purpose is to ask them why they are here. It's okay to ask clearly, but it's not necessarily
Everyone is a bad person, or maybe they are just businessmen and porters they hired." The city lord said to a guard beside him. The guard nodded, walked up and called an unknown name, and stood in front of him.
The personal guard who was having a heated fight with the Desert Lone Wolf looked back, shook his head and shouted to the Desert Lone Wolf: "I won't waste time with you. The city lord said he wants to see you. You should pack up quickly and go to the city lord.
I guess you're awesome." He really didn't expect that the experience he had accumulated in so many years of actual combat would be useless at this moment. The man in front of him, named Desert Lone Wolf, looked like an ordinary person.
Exactly the same, even if you look at the figure, he is a little thinner than the average person, but for such a person, he has very flexible movements, and his own knife is always easily dodged by him when he is about to touch it.
Open, this is something he has never thought of before. This also directly caused him to be very panicked. He was afraid that his incompetence would be seen by the group of people behind him, especially the city lord. When the city lord chose him, he did not know his true identity.
At that time, due to various reasons, of course he knew now that all of this came from the hypocrisy and vanity in his heart. At that time, when he looked into the eyes of the city lord, he could not understand that he was actually a
He is a very ordinary person, and his martial arts is not very high. He is afraid that when he says this, the city lord will immediately change his mind and give up his position as a guard to others. This is something he absolutely does not want to see and absolutely
I don't want to become the laughing stock of others because of this.
In order to hide his true level, he rarely had disputes with other guards who worked together on weekdays, and naturally declined all competitions with them. He did not want to offend the people around him because of something as trivial as this time.
colleagues and friends, and also exposed his own weaknesses, which is absolutely unacceptable. Today, he almost put all his hard work in vain for so many years. Fortunately, the city lord found someone to stop him in time, so he would not be like this.
He lost face in front of many people. He put the sword back into the scabbard and walked back. He kept feeling secretly afraid. If the city lord didn't speak and other colleagues didn't stand up, he might really expose himself here.
