Richard slowed down the hallway outside the box, waiting for Gro.

In the hallway was a row of more than a dozen beautiful girls waiting for orders, presumably found by Wall, all standing slightly nervously against the wall. Looking at Richard, he wanted to smile politely, but his expression was a little stiff.

Richard didn't care, and continued to walk slowly, and in a moment there was a sound coming from the box, which should be Gro's test. I heard Wall announce the result: "No talent...... Well, no, it should be a low-level extremely talented, in fact, it is not much different from no talent. Prince Gro: yes, I'm sorry, you're not qualified, let's go. ”

"Forehead ......"

"Da Da Da", footsteps sounded, the box door opened, Gro walked out, Richard stopped and waited for a few seconds, Gro followed.

At this time, the expression on Gro's face seemed to be a little unrefreshed, and he kept repeating: "I have talent, I have talent, I am actually talented!"

"Well, there's talent, I hear you. Richard nodded, not forgetting to remind, "But, it's a low-level talent." Although I don't know how to divide the talent level of the Wall and the White Stone Tower, I can guess that the so-called low-level and extremely low talent should only be a little better than no talent. ”

"So what?" said Gro, "even so, I'm talented!" It doesn't matter if it's low, as long as I have talent, I can become a wizard by working hard. As long as I work harder than others, I will definitely succeed. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. "When others try to meditate for two hours, I meditate for four hours." Others meditate for four hours, and I meditate for eight hours. When others meditate for eight hours, I meditate for sixteen hours! I don't believe it, I can't catch up with them. ”

"Effort. Richard muttered to himself.

"What?"

"Effort, the theory that everything can be changed as long as you work hard. Richard said, "Yes in a sense, but that doesn't mean you try it in every situation." ”

"I don't believe it. ”

"Heh, let me ask you, you said that others meditate for eight hours, and you have low talent, and you can meditate for sixteen hours to compensate. And what if someone else worked the same hard and meditated for sixteen hours? Can you meditate for a day and a night without eating, drinking, or sleeping?"

"I ......"

"Even if you do, sometimes, you'll find that maybe you meditate for a day and a night as much as someone else meditates for an hour. ”

"I ......"

"Sometimes, hard work doesn't solve everything. Hard work is a good thing, but it also has its limits, and we must recognize this. Richard said lightly, "In many cases, it doesn't mean that hard work will necessarily succeed.

How much effort a person puts in, it is not worth boasting about. If this can be successful, it is the miners in the mines and the slaves who are deprived of their personal liberty that should succeed the most.

You can work hard, but don't be obsessed with effort, and don't be moved by your own efforts. What you have to do is to have a clearer understanding of what is going on and figure out what is right to do. If the direction of effort is not right, then the more effort you try, the farther away from success. ”

“......”

"You know, there was a man named Thomas Edison who said, 'Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration?' ”

"That's right. Gro's eyes lit up, and then his brow furrowed, this sentence was similar to what he thought, but unlike Richard's point of view, Gro didn't understand why Richard said that.

The next moment, I heard Richard say: "The problem is that this sentence is incomplete, and there is the second half of the sentence." Thomas Edison said, 'Genius is one percent inspiration, plus ninety-nine percent perspiration.' But that one percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of sweat.' ”

Gro scratched his head: "Forehead ......"

Gro didn't want to admit defeat, and thought for a while: "This guy called Edison means that inspiration, or talent, is more important than hard work, right? But even so, even if I don't have any talent now, I think I can try to change, I don't believe that I will always be like this, I will never have talent."

I believe that through hard work, talent will be gained. When the time comes, according to what this is called Edison, I will definitely succeed. ”

"Okay. Richard spoke up, and continued, "But do you know that the man named Edison just now didn't actually say the second half of the sentence. He only said the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was a man named Cindy Myers. Myers) female writer. Then the good deeds put the two sentences together. ”

“......”

There was a long silence.

Gro's mouth opened wide, staring at Richard with a calm face, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, and he didn't say a word.

It's fishing, right? No, it's not fishing, it's fried fish!

Although I don't know the meaning of fishing and fried fish, at this moment, Gro's inner feeling is almost the same.

I don't know why, Gro's mind suddenly flashed back to a wild boar he had encountered during the hunt in the border forest, and Gro felt that the wild boar was very pitiful.

No, he should be more pitiful than a wild boar. No, no, no, what a wild boar is not a wild boar, how are they all messy thoughts, he ...... Are you already stupid......

"You understand now, don't you?" asked Richard.

"Do I understand?" Gro asked, swallowing his saliva, "I...... What should be understood?"

As he spoke, Groh felt that he might be really stupid.

Although he had realized a long time ago that following Richard would make him feel like a fool, now, instead of being a fool, he was a complete fool.

What the hell should he understand? He's completely confused, okay?

Richard spoke up and said lightly: "What I want to tell you is that I want you to understand that hard work is not the most important thing, but more important than hard work is ......"

Richard pointed to his head: "More important than working hard is to be smart, to be sensible, to distinguish the truth, to figure out what should be done and what not to do, and not to be confused by something false." To put it simply, more important than hard work is ...... Wisdom. ”

Gro: "......"

Gro suddenly felt the urge to cry, it turned out to be wisdom. Well, he now understands, it's wisdom. I also understand that he has no wisdom, but he is not completely stupid, at least he can still hear human words.

But...... As for it, he just wanted to work hard, he just wanted to struggle, but he was hit so hard that he doubted his IQ.

This...... That's kind of brutal, isn't it?

Hit it, hit it, turn around, and fish. After giving some hope, then giving some despair, and then giving some hope and despair, until the end, he was beaten to death with a stick. Can you make it clear directly, can you give me a good time, he is a prince and doesn't want to lose face?

"Huh?" Gro suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Richard, "Wait a minute, you said that I have low talent, and it is useless to work hard, don't move yourself, be smart, be wise." But there's one thing you haven't explained to me yet. ”

"Huh?"

"Your talent!" Gro said with wide eyes, "In the test just now, Wall said that you have no talent, so how can you release spells?

"Well, the explanation is very simple. Richard exclaimed, "That's ......."

After listening to this, Gro's eyes instantly widened: "Really?"

"Or else?"

"Then ......" Gro wanted to ask something, but Richard had already walked out, and Gro hurriedly followed.

At this moment, Groh suddenly thought: What kind of face do you want? Can you eat face, or find a way to please the respected and wise His Excellency Richard.

......

Outside the inn, Richard and Gro walked out, ready to return.

At this time, on the street outside, there were many aristocratic young people who had come out before. Every time they see someone new coming out, they will come up and ask questions. Although they are all not eliminated because of lack of talent, they are also curious about the situation of others.

Slowly, they found that the situation of others was not much better than theirs. So far, not to mention the qualified people, there are only three "low-level and lower talents", and the rest are "no talents".

The only one who is "gifted and qualified" is Anthony Max, who came out not long ago, and is being surrounded by everyone at this time, complimented and admired.

Anthony's expression in the crowd couldn't help but show a little color, imagining the "beautiful wizard life" in the future, and the corners of his mouth curled uncontrollably. But then he regained his composure, trying not to be too "villainous", and said with a forcibly calm expression: "Actually, I didn't expect this, it was really an accident." Actually, I'm really a little scared to board a ship to the mainland, and I've heard that there are many things on the mainland that are different from ours here. But...... His Excellency Wall has let me on board, and I think it's better to go. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes. A group of people agreed, ignoring Richard and Gro, who had come out.

Richard and Gro glanced at the crowd, ignored them, and walked towards the carriage. However, Anthony, who was in the crowd, saw Groh with sharp eyes and hurriedly greeted him.

"Prince Gro, Prince Gro, you're out, how about your talent tested at Lord Wall?" asked Anthony with the people around him walking briskly over to Gro, with a little respect on his face.

Gro didn't bother to lie, and said loudly: "Inferior extreme talent. ”

"What kind of rank is this?" Anthony's eyes blinked, "Is it a little lower than the lower level, then Your Royal Highness, aren't you ......" The other party made a look of wanting to say something.

Gro snorted coldly: "Yes, I'm just unqualified, what's the matter? What do you want to say to me?......

"No, no, how dare I, I'm just sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince. Your Royal Highness the Prince, you go well, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you go slowly. Anthony said loudly, his attitude had changed a lot, he couldn't talk about sarcasm, that was too idiotic, but he didn't have too much respect, just maintained basic politeness.

Gro was too lazy to bother with these things, and after talking to Richard, he already had a firm thought: as long as he curry favor with His Excellency Richard, there are infinite possibilities in the future. As for talent, hmph, what is it, can you eat it? Wisdom is the most important thing, and now his wisdom is to understand who he wants to please.

Gro snorted, walked with Richard to the parked carriage on the street, and rode away.

Those who remained looked at each other.
