Chapter 1504 Hypocrisy
The Empire of Britannia, Pandragon, Jacob's mansion, Jacob's room—
Jacob lying on the bed, his eyes closed.
The eye sockets are deep, the skin is withered, and the face is very bad - this is Jacob's current state.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
The sudden knock on the door outside the room broke the silence of the room.
"Your Mightiness."
The speaker is the old housekeeper who has served Jacob for many years.
"Captain Cheng is here."
As soon as the old housekeeper finished speaking, Jacob slowly opened his closed eyes.
"Let him come in..."
"yes!"
Squeak...
The door was pushed open.
A young man with black hair and a complicated expression slowly walked into the room and walked to Jacob's bed.
"Mr. Jacob..."
"Head..." Jacob, who was lying on the bed, turned his head with difficulty and looked at Su Cheng who was standing beside his bed.
"You look...it seems to be darker than before...it seems that the sun in the south is really poisonous..."
Hearing Jacob's joke, Su Cheng couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's so annoying. I obviously went to the south to play together, but my wife, children, and sister didn't turn black. I just turned black. I don't know how long it will take to come back white..."
Su Cheng and all his family successfully completed his "Southern trip" yesterday and returned to Pandragon.
However - just after returning to Pandragon, Su Cheng learned about a news that was like a bolt from the blue for him - Jacob was seriously ill.
Since Jacob swallowed the potion in the "Defense War" and his physical health suffered a devastating blow, Su Cheng expected that this day would happen sooner or later.
But when this day really came, Su Cheng still felt like his chest was blocked by something...
I just returned to Pandragorn yesterday evening, and Su Cheng hurried to visit Jacob in the morning this morning.
Looking at Jacob's face, which was much older than he had imagined, Su Cheng only felt a tingling feeling in his chest.
Jacob was no longer a benefactor to Su Cheng.
In Su Cheng's eyes, Jacob was not only a benefactor who supported him, but also an existence like his father.
Without Jacob's various help, Su Cheng was sure that he would definitely not have the status he is now.
Su Cheng pulled a small chair next to him and sat down, then slowly grabbed Jacobit's withered right hand.
"How did Mr. Jacob...because...because...because...because..."
"Make me... don't... show such an expression."
"Human birth, old age, sickness and death are just extremely normal things."
"And I am already old, and I am very grateful that I can live until now."
"Cheng, let's talk about some happy things."
"Tell me about your experiences when you traveled in the south."
"After traveling in the south for so long, I can encounter some interesting things or go to some interesting places, right?"
When Su Cheng heard Jacob's question, he was stunned at first.
After pursing his lips and pondering for a while, Su Cheng said quietly:
"I have encountered many interesting things... but... I have also encountered some... heavy things..."
"Mr. Jacob, I am very glad that I have traveled to the south now..."
"Thanks to this 'Travel in the South', I understand how stupid and arrogant I was before..."
"Since I don't know when... it should have been since I became the leader of the Knights of Michael, my mentality and my thoughts have begun to change..."
"Since becoming the leader of the Knights of Michael, the position I stood at suddenly became higher."
"Standing at such a high position, I can't see what the people standing below look like, nor can I hear the voices of the people below..."
“I was really angry when I learned that His Majesty decided to build a plantation in the west and capture the Aboriginal peoples of the New World to be slaves…”
"But now when I turn to my head, I was really hypocritical at that time..."
"My tragic experience for the indigenous people of the New World is nothing more than condescending sympathy and extremely arrogant mercy..."
"It's just that the indigenous peoples of the New World happened to appear in front of me..."
“I only feel sympathy for the people who are in front of me.”
"But I ignored the thousands of people below that I can't see..."
"The more I think about it, the more I feel that I was such a hypocritical person at that time..."
"Your Majesty is just moving the oppression from the ordinary people of our country to the indigenous people of the New World..."
"What qualifications do I have to say that Your Majesty is not..."
"Thanks to this trip to the south, I know that the wars over the years have caused our country's national strength to be consumed so seriously..."
"I have been sitting upright on the mountain, and I can see a magnificent view of it."
"It was not until I came to the foot of the mountain that I realized that the scene at the foot of the mountain was so different from the mountain..."
"The mountain is already in a mess."
"Even Soma County, which is already well-known for its wealth, has become like this. I can't imagine what other poorer areas are now..."
"The war... cannot be fought any more..."
Jacob has been listening to Su Cheng's words quietly since the beginning... No, it should be said that it is this remark.
When Jacob heard Su Cheng say that he was a hypocritical person, his expression was complicated.
After hearing Su Cheng say that the war cannot continue, Jacob's expression was heavy.
"Sincere... you don't have to feel guilty about yourself... let the stupid things you have committed before, just let it go..."
Speaking of this, Jacob pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a self-deprecating smile.
"After you say this, I find that I am also a very hypocritical person... When His Majesty decided to build a plantation, I also expressed my opposition..."
"Now, think about it carefully... what I should have opposed at that time is not the matter of His Majesty building a plantation."
"What I should object to... it should be 'oppression'..."
"Forget it... let's skip this topic for the time being, let's talk about other important things..."
"...Heart, long before you started traveling, I had already discovered that our country's national strength had suffered extremely severe losses."
"Originally... I wanted to wait until you finish your trip and talk to you a good question."
"Now that you have discovered this problem yourself, it will save you much more..."
