Sir Silver's unexpected words made Annan stunned for a moment.
He was really not mentally prepared for this answer.
Or……
Annan already subconsciously believed that the difficulties he encountered and the enemies he encountered could only be solved by himself.
But looking at Sir Silver taking over this trouble skillfully.
This actually made Annan's mind go blank... For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Should I thank you? Or should I reject Sir Silver's kindness? Or should I try to get myself involved?
Seeing Annan's confused expression for a moment, Sir Silver chuckled and couldn't help but touch Annan's hair.
He whispered softly: "Annan... do you think that it's just luck that nothing major has happened in this world for a long time?
"Of course the responsibilities of the gods are not just to support the Great Barrier. After all, the Great Barrier is something that only exists in the Third Age... What we have to do is to watch the world together. But on the other hand, gods are not capable of everything.
We can do it, we can change anything... All we can do are the things within our power, but people don't desire it so simply.
"Just like you, as the Grand Duke, your people definitely hope to live a good life immediately, or to be more precise, they hope to have a generous income while lying at home without having to work, and live a comfortable life without disease or accidents;
They also hope that they will not meet anyone they are bored with, and that no one will hate them; they imagine that they know nothing and have nothing, but can have a better relationship with the opposite sex.
"But you also know...how is this possible?"
Annan couldn't help but nodded.
Yes, he knows.
This is impossible.
Because people are eager to achieve success in one fell swoop and immediately reach the best future in their hearts.
They don't care about the process, the principles involved, and they don't care about the difficulties they will face in the process of achieving this dream. But they will be very concerned about whether this difficulty will cause any trouble in their current lives.
A good leader can only balance long-term goals with current needs... However, even the best leader can never meet all the needs of everyone.
Unless I let Master Yuanmeng read it for an infinite month.
"When people pray to us, they don't think about how much we can do it, or why we don't do it. They only think about whether we can do what they want, and if not, why we can't do it.
.
"Is this a bad trait of human beings? I don't think so...it's just because people are mortal."
Sir Silver said calmly: "There are only a very small number of sages who can make their thoughts last forever. For most people, their lives are so short...if they miss it if they don't pay attention, it will be over.
"You are now close to the level of God, so I will sit here and explain it clearly to you. Just like when a child has grown up, his father will talk to him about life."
Sir Silver said, pushing up his single-frame glasses and showing a gentle smile: "You don't think... you are the brave man in fairy tales, and the whole world can only count on you to defeat the devil, right? You know,
Even in the stories of brave men, there are still some tasks that the brave men do not need to do themselves.
"And since you have a greater mission, it is not your turn to do the small task of picking a fruit or sending a love letter. Of course you can do it, but this should not be your task or your purpose.
"
Sir Silver spoke words that were gentle but shocked Annan's heart: "Listen up, Annan. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can never be omnipotent, let alone handle everything perfectly all the time.
"Nothing is ever done, Annan.
"You are indeed the savior of this world. But you are not a handyman. You have to do everything yourself. We are not stupid people who can't do anything. Why is it that only you can save the world, but we can only watch
Where are you?
"In the final analysis, if there really is such a world, only a certain person can save it...and in this case, everyone put down the work at hand and did not do their part for the 'brave',
Instead, he just waited for salvation to come, and even caused trouble for the 'brave'.
"Then it would be better to just destroy this world."
Annan realized it.
Just like Sir Silver said before.
This is a kind of arrogance in one's own heart.
Although he didn't say it or show it... he regarded himself as the "protagonist" of this world. Any trouble would eventually become his trouble; and only he could solve these troubles.
"...I understand."
Annan nodded.
He responded with great seriousness: "I was wrong about this.
"I did think...if everything around me was just a game, a book, or a movie, then I would undoubtedly be the protagonist.
"Since I am the 'protagonist', the others can only be 'supporting roles'. So they can't do anything, and can't do anything well. In the end, I am the only one who can solve everything... no matter it is a big or small matter.
"It's like being a great lord, grabbing root treasures and blue stars."
He is more like a tool than a savior.
He has indeed done this before.
The reason why Annan treats players as tools... In a sense, he sees himself as a bigger tool. Just like a contractor.
Only now did Annan realize...
He can't always handle everything himself.
The reason why Annan delegated power to the Principality of Winter was essentially because Annan didn't care about the authority of the Principality of Winter...not because he understood the principle that "the result of 'doing everything by yourself' is that 'life is short-lived'".
"……I understand."
Annan nodded.
His eyes seemed to become brighter: "I'll leave this matter to you, Sir Silver. I'll deal with some of my personal matters first...
"If there is anything you need my help with, you can tell me. If I can help, I will do it."
"That's how it should be."
Sir Silver smiled happily and gently stroked Annan's long, smooth hair: "This is a 'friend'. There are comings and goings, borrowings and repayments. I know you are a good person and don't like to take advantage of others...
…But you can also trust your friends more.”
Annan opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
He just lowered his head and was quietly touched by Sir Silver. Unexpectedly... and for the first time in a long time, he felt a faint sense of peace of mind.
In fact, Annan also understands this truth.
Annan has known for a long time that instead of making friends by helping others, it is better to ask for help from others to gain more goodwill. A small request that is not troublesome and a sincere thank you can bring each other closer than flattery.
The relationship between.
…But that’s when Annan saw other people as tools.
Annan would only do this consciously when they were not familiar with them.
For example, players who have just come to this world.
In the beginning, whenever Annan encountered any trouble, he would hope that everyone would solve it together.
And when Annan really regarded them as friends, he began to think about how he could solve problems independently without asking for help from his friends; how he could give them more benefits...
For example, Annan did not tell Salvatore and Hugo about this problem. He also did not tell Maria and Dmitri.
Instead, he added another summon by himself and sneaked over to ask Sir Silver.
During the entire process, Annan never thought about the possibility of "finding other people to help."
"You can handle your private affairs with peace of mind. If anything happens, I will let the Faceless Poet notify you as soon as possible."
Sir Silver whispered softly: "Occasionally, you can trust others more. Trust your friends more... They are not fools who are useless without you.
"After all... you are not a lonely sun god like Mr. Yao.
"You are the light of lights, the father of stars."
