Azeroth Trail of Light

381 Chapter 40. Pride and Prejudice

"Pretending to be modest is the most hypocritical expression. It may be the beginning of slander, or self-praise that is beating around the bush..."

"Dick" in a blue robe sat lazily on the black-infected Titan seal box, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, not distorted or hideous, just like sitting on his own throne On the floor, he stretched out a finger and slid in the air, which always made people's eyes move along with his finger. His hands were crossed, his chin was propped up, and his body was leaning forward.

"Then tell me, Dick, are you a hypocrite, or a disgusting hypocrite?"

This wanton gesture made Dick standing opposite him feel a little embarrassed, not because he was frightened by this arrogant illusion, but because Sha Demon is the most direct way to express his inner self. If this guy behaves like this, That means that Dick's heart is likely to have this image...

But the problem is that Dick never knew that there was still such a wanton side in his heart, but it didn't mean he gave up. In fact, in this hall where he was alone, after the other party finished speaking, he You know, it's time to speak for yourself.

Dick took a step back and leaned back. The brilliant holy light repeatedly staggered and folded behind him, and finally formed a golden armchair, which supported his body. After being promoted to a hero, the control of energy entered This kind of operation is no longer unreachable.

His hands were relaxed on the armrests of the golden armchair. Under the bamboo mask, his expression could not be seen clearly, but from his voice, there was already a hint of nostalgia. He replied with another sentence,

"Prejudice prevents you from accepting me, arrogance prevents me from "loving" you... how ironic."

"Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, so nostalgic, I thought I had forgotten, but unexpectedly, I still remember... But are you sure you want to start the conversation with this sentence? You and I both know, You can mock me wantonly, but you will never be me, you are just a wild illusion in my mind, that's all."

"Actually, I don't think so."

The blue "Dick" stretched his shoulders, and he snapped his fingers. A cigarette that Dick missed so much appeared on his fingertips, and was lit by a faint blue flame, followed by the familiar People can't help the smoke of memories,

"I have been with you, Darrowshire, Northern Border, Black Rock Mountain, Silithus... When you save the world time and time again, I have been growing stronger, when everyone praises you, when everyone How about when a guy calls you a hero? It's a nice feeling, little guy... did you ever think you'd be that guy someday?"

Landick pulled out a mocking smile, he waved his hand violently,

"One order can make countless blood flow into rivers, one sentence can cause a war, even one disgusted look, and there will be lackeys cleaning up those dazzling scum for you, ah, Dick... look You yourself, you're a big shot, but why don't you smile?"

Facing Ran Dick's ridicule, Dick pursed his lips,

"I don't laugh because there's nothing worth laughing about. Stop taking it out of context. You and I both know that. I wouldn't do that, and I couldn't do that."

"Hahaha, I have a tiger in my heart, and I sniff the rose carefully... You are so naive, I feel a little pity for your naivety."

Lan Dick's figure flashed and appeared behind Dick, wrapping his hands around Dick's shoulders like a lover, whispering softly in his ear, but speaking vicious words like venom,

"I'm your heart, I know everything about you...you don't smile because you're not happy, you're not happy because you can't love, look at you, do you really like Gianna? You really like that Are you a woman who is willing to give everything for you? No, you don’t like it. When you face Cirvanas, you can abide by the etiquette. ?"

Landick's voice pierced into Dick's deepest thoughts like a needle,

"After all, in your eyes, they are just a bunch of data... Even if you can touch them, even if you can smell their fragrance, even if you can hug them, but you always think they are fake, and all this is fake, You are living a lie of your own, you poor wretch!"

"You think you're supposed to fall in love with them, you pretend to be in love with them, but you're fighting against that emotion in yourself...you're afraid you'll be lost!"

"In the deepest fog of your mind, you still think you're an Earthling, don't you? Even though you're wearing an Azeroth costume, even though you've become a paladin, even though you've accepted it all, accepted everything you never thought possible before. Everything that happened, but...you feel like you don't belong in this world."

The corner of Dick's mouth moved slightly, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak in the end.

"Hahaha! Look at you, never really embracing everything about yourself, every time that voice in your head goes off, reminding you that you're different from everyone else, reminding you that you're a freak! You're a Monster! You don't belong here, look at you, a person who can't go back to his hometown, but also can't accept the new world, can only hide in the false cracks and pretend to be a hero, then my hero... tell me, what do you want ?”

Landick's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Dick, with his hands in his pockets, bent down, and looked at Dick with a condescending attitude, his eyes were full of coldness and mockery,

"You want to refute me, I know, then, come and refute me, tell me that you really love them, and then tell me, speak out loudly about your pursuit, your ideal, and what you want?"

Landick grabbed Dick's shoulders, shook him, and his voice became high-pitched,

"Speak! Speak up, tell me, what's in your empty heart? What do you want? Tell me!"

"enough!"

Dick opened Randick's hand, "Enough! I...I..."

"Um?"

Landick was not angry because of Dick's agitation. On the contrary, he leaned sideways and listened, as if he really wanted to hear Dick's answer, but after 10 seconds, there was no reply, no answer, and the silence filled the air. this space.

"So, what I said is true?"

Landick's shadow dissipated, he sat back on his throne, leaned back in the chair, waved his hands casually,

"Tsk tsk, what a poor guy, I will try not to ridicule you anymore, ah, in most cases, arrogance is our opinion of ourselves, but pride is always about other people's evaluation of us, so, we On a different subject, are you a proud man, Dick."

After speaking, without waiting for Dick to answer, he put his finger to his mouth,

"Shh, I guess, you are."

Dick sat on the chair, bent down, and gasped heavily, like a poor man who had just been rescued from drowning. Although there was no danger of sword fighting, although there was no fatigue from fighting, those words just now, But like the most terrifying blade, it pierced through his heart time and time again, pushing away the heart hidden in the deepest part, and exposing it to himself for the first time.

He never felt that he was so fragile, but in fact, every tough guy has a fragile heart. Most of the time, we carefully hide our true selves. At the moment when we are suddenly exposed, how powerful a person will be Weak as a defenseless child.

But he had to resist. If this blue bastard continued to torture his heart, Dick felt that he would collapse and be completely defeated by this negative will. Of course, this meant that he had to face his own self for the first time Inwardly, this is not an easy task.

Facing your heart is never an easy thing, never.

"I am a proud man."

Dick straightened his body from the stooped state, and there was still a touch of panic and hesitation in his eyes from just now, but in the end, the light turned into a touch of firmness in his eyes, and then disappeared.

"I am a proud man!"

He repeated what he said just now, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone. This answer surprised Randick, but he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"You know, sometimes there's a big price to be paid for being too popular."

Dick made a bad joke, neither he nor Randick laughed, "I don't know why Norgannon chose me, maybe it's luck, maybe there are secrets I can't see through, but it doesn't matter. Important, I admit that what you said is not wrong, I... I do feel the gap between me and those girls, but at least I am learning to love them, because I know that those who love me put their hopes on me, those People who hated me also poured out their hatred, and I know the weight of it all."

He looked at Randick,

"You're right, I don't know what I want, I'm confused, should I keep going, or stop, you know, I can't stop, but at least I know, I shouldn't let them down, Those people standing behind me, watching my back."

"A fire bearer walking in the dark? Good metaphor."

Landick pursed his lips and praised, but there was no joy in his tone.

Dick didn't care, he just continued on his own,

"When they don't know where to go, I don't know, but I have to carry them forward, so we won the battle of quicksand, so we won the black dragon, so I came here, I stood in front of you."

"I stand at the forefront, which means that I have to bear all the glory and praise, and it also means that I have to block the first wave of swords and sharp edges. Yes, one of my orders can indeed cause thousands of people to bleed Cheng He, but so what? Do you think I shouldn't do that? Do you think I shouldn't have that qualification?"

Dick stood up,

"Looking back, my phantom, Darrowshire, Blackstone Mountain, Silithus, those are my footprints, I deserve all of them, I have peace of mind!"

"Hahaha, you are so funny."

Randick's eyes narrowed, "Say such a stupid thing, do you believe it yourself? Do you believe everything you say?"

"Fu..."

Dick shrugged, "Yeah, I don't believe it...but I'm right, aren't I? To bear the price of all pride is to give everything you have. If I didn't give it, you wouldn't show up, would you?" ?”

Landick gritted his teeth,

"So what? Don't forget, you are always an outsider, when they know your identity..."

"Hey Leah, what are you doing?"

Before Landick could finish speaking, Dick opened his spiritual link and said to Liadrin, who was busy far away in Theramore, "Did you miss me? Recently."

"I hate you, Dick, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

Liadrin's voice was a little shy, but she quickly said, "Of course I did. I just talked about you with Anna. Princess Kalia wants to give you a big gift. We are considering whether to..."

"Wait, Leah, I have something to tell you."

Dick glanced at Randick, pursed his lips, and then took a deep breath, "I'm not a creature of Azeroth, I come from another world, and everything I've done up to now has been done in Nuo Gannon, at the request of a titan, I will be afraid, I will be afraid, I will worry that I am not good enough for you, after all, before I came here, I was just an insignificant little person."

The biggest secret was revealed, and Dick felt relieved. All the burdens disappeared at this moment, but instead, there was a touch of worry. The fateful moment came. He and Randyk both knew this. Liadrin's answer will directly affect the battle between him and Randick.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.

Then he heard Liadrin's voice,

"I'm angry, Dick, but I'm also happy, don't forget we're connected, I know you've got secrets from us, we've been waiting for you to tell me all this, and now I've waited, about that..."

"It doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter what you were like... What matters is that you are Dick, you are the Knight of the Dawn, you are the savior of Quel'Thalas, you are a hero, you are my Dick , that's enough, isn't it?"

There was a smile on the corner of Dick's mouth, it was down-to-earth, it was happiness, and it was a smile of relief.

"Thank you, Leah, I still have things to do, I'll be back soon, say hello to Anna for me."

Ran Dick's face was extremely gloomy, but Dick's call was not over yet,

"Hey, little wolf girl, I have something to tell you..."

"It doesn't matter, I approve of you, you are Dick of Velinde Starsong, that's enough."

"Hi, Master Anwena, I have something to tell you..."

"You bothered me to play with little Suss just because of this? You are annoying, do you know? Do you know how many alien creatures there are in Azeroth every day? Don't bother me with such things in the future, you idiot!"

"Moam, I have something to tell you..."

"Wow, no wonder adults are so great. It turns out that you are fundamentally different from us small creatures. This makes me feel your greatness even more. All the Anubisas and I are waiting for the return of the great master!"

"Hey, sister Tao Ya, I have something to tell you..."

"Is this... important? You saved me, so I need to repay you, and I don't need to know who you are. Also, don't use such frivolous names! Please call me Tao Shi."

Dick finally ended the soul connection. He looked at the figure in front of him that was about to be torn apart and disappeared, and grinned, showing a real smile.

"Should I ask someone else?"

"Aw!"

What answered him was a roar that contained chaos and madness. Looking at the Sha of Pride who tore his body apart and appeared in front of him, looking at the distorted and evil figure with white spots, Dick looked away. Cursing his lips, the Wind Chaser Sword in his left hand once again enveloped lightning and light, illuminating everything in the dark,

"Your ability is nothing more than this."

"I never worry about them abandoning me, and I never worry that my pride will make them abandon me, because I give them everything, and they will return me with everything."

"I walk forward with fire in the dark, without fear, without wavering, because I know that what I protect is what I am worth protecting. In this world, what do you want me to ask?"

"I'm going to save it, that's all! That's all!"
