For George Blake, coming to the East to participate in the war experienced all kinds of things that he had never imagined in the past.
Although as an Anglo-Jew, George Blake's experience was far from smooth. Although it was not all hardships, it could also be said to be bumpy.
Moreover, he has also consciously seen many of the worst aspects of this world, and he is considered well-informed.
But when he came to Asia and saw what this country was experiencing, he felt that everything he had seen seemed to be nothing.
Because the suffering that this country is suffering right now is too severe.
This is not just the war and the behavior of the Japanese who invaded this country that cannot be called human at all, but also the bureaucrats, politicians and warlords of this country itself, as well as the businessmen who colluded with them, and the group called compradors.
Each of them is squeezing and exploiting the country's already overwhelmed people.
Although George Blake's group of mages entered the country with the government troops on the expedition to Burma after participating in the Battle of Burma, and soon arrived at the country's wartime capital, it stands to reason that the places they saw should be
A fairly stable area.
But the streets are full of hungry people, people selling their children and daughters, children who are so hungry that they actually eat soil, grass roots and tree bark...
All of this formed an extremely strong and sharp contrast with the government officials who came to curry favor with him, and even made him feel sick.
He really didn't understand why the gap between people could be so big, and he couldn't even imagine that these people and his teacher were of the same race.
Over these days, although George Blake has gradually understood and accepted that the image of his teacher is not as great and upright as he imagined, George Blake himself is still a compassionate and very kind young man.
Perhaps he still doesn't know what he wants to do at this moment, but a great ideal has gradually emerged in his heart, that is, what he wants to do for these suffering people.
He found those officials and businessmen who curry favor with him, and used some means to make these people willing to provide relief to some poor people on the streets of the capital during the war in order to obtain the benefits they wanted from him.
And through his special identity and relationship with the Mage Corps, he himself obtained a lot of scarce food and materials, which he distributed to the soldiers accompanying the Mage Corps.
Although it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, some people really survived thanks to the efforts of George Blake.
This also made many people feel grateful for this strange foreign army, and some even asked them if they needed any manpower.
Considering that some locals were really needed to help, George Blake, after discussing with No. 14, did hire a group of locals to work, which could be regarded as providing them with some livelihood.
However, George Black knew that he could not help these people much after all. Sooner or later, he and the mages would really participate in the war.
Although the current government officials of this country prefer to keep their troops in the capital during wartime to protect the safety of certain dignitaries, they are still considering letting this somewhat strange unit belong to them after several repeated applications from George Blake.
Enter the war zone.
After learning about the news through some dignitaries they had met, George Black and No. 14 were also adjusting the status of the mage group, allowing the young apprentices recruited from the Nanyang region to adjust their mentality as soon as possible.
Be prepared for the battlefield.
Those who survived by the existence of the mage group were of course the first to notice this. Of course they did not want this army to leave. After all, if they left, the lives of these people would return to the precarious state they had before.
Already.
But even so, these simple people did not plead with them not to leave, nor did they feel that they were not being ignored. Instead, they were extremely grateful to the mage group, and even sent their own nephews here, hoping that they could help or become
A member of this force.
Although everyone in this era knows that going to the battlefield is equivalent to having your head in your belt, what these simple people want to do is to repay the kindness of others with a spring of water.
In this regard, George Black didn't know what to do. He asked No. 14 for advice several times, but No. 14 rarely provided him with advice on these matters. He only trained the mage apprentices to make them faster.
Adaptation of how to fight as a mage.
In this situation that made George Blake anxious, Serena arrived at the wartime capital as Chen Mo's special envoy.
"I am Serena, and I am here to assist you under your Majesty's order." Facing the young George Blake, Serena did not despise him because of his youth, but her attitude was as cold as she used to be.
.
When George Blake saw Serena, the first thing he was happy about was of course that his teacher finally didn't forget about him as a student and sent someone to help him.
But then, George Blake was frostbitten by Serena's aura that was so cold that no strangers could enter, and he seemed a little afraid of her.
However, George Blake quickly explained to Selina the problems they were facing now, hoping to listen to her advice.
However, after listening to what George Blake said, Serena looked at him strangely, then shook her head and said: "You know there is a saying in this country: 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
'? You can help them for a while, but you can't help them for a lifetime."
Serena's words seemed to hit George Blake's pain point. His face became a little ugly, but he still said: "It is better to be saved for a while than to die without saving. As long as everyone is willing to help them, there will always be a way.
of!"
Regarding George Blake's view, Serena quickly made a judgment based on her hundreds of years of life experience, and responded coldly: "That will only harm them and make them indolent, even because of your
Hates you for being too little helpful.
If they don’t learn to help themselves, then no one can help them. No matter how much you give them, they will eventually run out.”
"But how should I let them learn to save themselves? They can't even survive!" George Black shouted dissatisfied at Serena. He felt that Serena simply refused to save her.
However, Serena ignored George Blake's attitude and just said indifferently: "Perhaps His Majesty expected this and asked me to assist you. Next, we will go to the battlefield, where there may be people you want."
