Once upon a time, there were two brothers.

They were lucky.

Their birth, just the moment they came into this world, received the most sincere blessings and heartfelt joy from the entire country and millions of citizens.

"The old king has a son, and a new heir of Arashi is born."

In that land of ice and snow, although life was very difficult, under the leadership of the wise old emperor, everyone believed that the future would be better and better.

And the old emperor is also over middle age, because he was injured when he was young, his body is also rapidly declining, and the problem of heirs has been plaguing this country, and now that there are two princes at once, this land of paradise in the north may be more stable.

Since that day, the birth day of Gemini has been regarded as a new celebration day for the whole country - Twin Day.

"The gods bless, I hope they will grow up as soon as possible, support this country, and hope that the Lan royal family will produce virtuous monarchs from generation to generation......"

Perhaps the prayer without an address played a role, or perhaps it was the fact that God really had a pair of eyes watching them, placing the expectation on the people that the twins not only grew up quickly, but also showed that they were born extraordinary.

"God bless the Lan clan, our princes are not only outstanding, but also geniuses!"

The eldest prince showed an unusually mature mentality at a young age, and those strange "inventions" brought a lot of fun to the icy Diefend, and his outstanding achievements in politics and literature made his reputation for precociousness spread throughout the country.

Every time I hear him read out the government announcement in a childish voice with a milky voice, someone will always say:

"The eldest prince will be a wise king."

And the little prince is a real genius of kendo and magic, what martial arts can be learned as soon as you learn, and what magic can be understood at a glance. The speed of advancement is incredible.

Every time, when I see him easily leaving his peers behind and easily defeating his mentor, someone will say.

"The little prince will be an excellent general."

As the fame of the geniuses of the two princes spread, the people also looked forward to the future.

And only the eldest prince knows. The two are not the same.

"Cavins is a genius, I'm just a born time-traveler. The so-called wisdom is just an accumulation of one more time. If you don't work hard, sooner or later you'll be left behind. ”

Roland knows better than anyone that he is just a mortal reality.

Especially, there is such a real genius moment in front of me at the same time.

"The so-called genius is just a little higher from the starting point, and then the way to learn things is a little better, and the result is a little more efficient than ordinary people. Coupled with the concentration brought by sufficient interest, efficient learning methods and time accumulation, it is natural to leave peers behind easily. In the eyes of those ordinary people, they are probably geniuses. ”

And his younger brother, who is a few minutes younger than him, easily broke his own inherent concept of genius.

It's not an efficient way to understand and learn, but an instinct that you learn with your flesh at a glance.

It's not the accumulation of time and sweat, you can throw out the sword qi with a casual swing of the sword, and the practice of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. It didn't take the third day to become a sword master, and his naturally sensitive war instinct defeated the veteran general in the war chess deduction for the first time.

Martial arts, military affairs, magic. You can understand everything at a glance, you can learn to compose music by listening to people humming, and you can deduce language dictionaries by looking at hieroglyphs, that is, you are not good at politics, but you also have a wild instinct and excellent popularity, and you have a good level.

"It's simple. I don't know why you're so serious? Brother, you're so stupid, you don't understand this, let's go play after finishing your homework. ”

In the innocent words, the truth is revealed. and the brutal gap......

Perhaps, there are really some people who are above the world from birth.

Perhaps, for some people, the efforts of others for more than ten years are just the results of his casual play.

Perhaps, there is already a genius, and mortals should know what is in front of them and give up obediently......

"Phew, Lao Tzu is your brother, how can he be inferior to you."

But Roland, this man, never knew what it meant to give up.

Yes, I can't become a Juggernaut in three days, it will take me three years, I can always do it, anyway, it's scary to say it.

Yes, I can't learn everything at once, but at least I have two worlds of knowledge accumulation, and the mind of an adult, as long as I am willing to work hard, what can't I learn?

Instead of giving up, the elder brother of early wisdom became stronger and more ......... in the midst of constant setbacks Dead skin and face.

Well, I can't smile as sunny and innocent as you do, but I at least imitate a similar smile to show my kindness.

Well, I don't want you to learn everything and be proficient in everything, but at least I can put my limited energy into what I am best at, the most important aspects, and improve myself in the most efficient way, and from the point of view of the results, it is not bad.

Failed? And then again.

Lost? And then again.

Tired? Get some sleep and come back.

The mortal elder brother wants to maintain the dignity of a brother in front of the genius brother who does not admit defeat, and while his heart is scarred, he unknowingly reaches the limit of mortals and becomes a so-called artificial genius.

"Cut, isn't the result the same, is there a substantial difference between reaching the goal easily and arriving after hard work?"

At that time, Roland didn't know that there was not only a difference, but also a big difference.........

The two brothers are happy, they have too many people to love them.

The two brothers are unfortunate and have too many shadows to peek at them from behind.

Eventually, the two brothers lost everything.

But at that moment, the two had differences in their different personalities and lives for the first time, and the two had fundamentally different understandings of their misfortunes, and this difference in understanding directly led to the differences in life later.

"It's because I'm not strong enough to let this happen, if I had worked harder, no, if I was ten times stronger than I am now, how could those bastards hurt us."

The genius brother fell into self-blame, regretting his past waste of talent and time, regretting why he was not strong enough.

He also stepped into the abyss after borrowing revenge from the abyss. Because only the abyss, which represents evolution and chaos, can satisfy his thirst for power.

"Weakness is a sin......"

The last words before stepping into the abyss were his last obsession with abandoning his past pursuit of power.

And the mortal brother also fell into self-blame. It's just that his self-blame is very different.

"....... I shouldn't trust the Templar Church, I know the nature of the Lord of Light, and it's my foolishness to believe in those bishops."

“…… I should have seen the wolf ambitions of the surrounding countries a long time ago, no, I should have gotten a few hardcore allies at any cost and played a game of diplomatic balance. ”

"....... there were also problems with the grain corridor back then, and the north was too short of food. There should be more ....... of stable grain merchants"

“…… New gunpowder has not been installed, and the improvement of weapons and equipment should have been ...... as soon as possible."

For the same misfortune, the genius brother only thinks of one reason, while the mortal brother thinks of hundreds of shortcomings, and then, as in the past, writes down every mistake and insecurity in the diary, reminding himself to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future. Then make up for the defects bit by bit.

After the two, they only vaguely got news from each other. But they didn't see each other again.

Just by the rumors, they knew that the brothers were no longer all the way.

Since meeting again is just painful, it's better not to meet, it's just a vague consensus between the two.

The younger brother sees who kills who in the abyss, when amazing talent and cheating luck are combined. has grown all the way, refreshed countless historical records, and stepped into the peak in three hundred years, and is called the king of the dragon proud of the heavens, the son of the upper plane.

He gained the power he desired, he got everything he wanted.

And the elder brother ......

Failed once. Again.

Failed a second time, and come again.

Failed a third time, licked off the wound, and came again.

When the diary of experiences and shortcomings ends up hundreds, thousands, and even a library is crammed. 、

The elder brother, who was once just a mortal, has become a real monster.

It was a monster that could make the world tremble and fear just by its name.

He's not alone, he's a team, a team under a common flag.

He is not just a slogan, he has his own philosophy and method, he is transforming the whole world with laws and contracts, purifying the world with new light.

Pure strength is only the least feared part of him, and cunning and cunning make him the most terrifying evil.

He no longer goes it alone, he longs to understand and be understood, and eventually, he stands with his companions.

And his younger brother, standing alone at the top of the world, watched him.

"Oh, see you again."

Yes, they met again, and unconsciously, the two brothers actually stood on a horizontal line again, and it seemed that this time, neither side could avoid each other.

When the two brothers stepped into the pinnacle of the world, looking back on the past, they found that the two of them were so different from their world view to their past trajectories, and even diametrically opposed.......

"One person's power is limited, the world is worth saving, but it shouldn't be me who saves it, I want the world to be better, it just needs to sow seeds and find companions.........."

My brother learned to understand others, learned to borrow the power of others, and learned to use ideas and rules to transform the world.

"If you are not strong enough, you will encounter misfortune, weakness is a sin, the world of the weak is too boring, too boring, so there will be misfortune ......."

The younger brother is the same as he thought back then, but the most pinnacle power in this world is enough to peak the whole world.

Unfortunately....... no, this should be a kind of "inevitability", their personalities and pasts, it is determined, and they will inevitably form a disagreement on a little cognition.

"Roland, don't you think the whole world is so boring?"

"The whole closed world is a boring gladiatorial arena, today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you, but there is no sharp change in essence. It's like two bugs fighting to the death, but they don't know that the adults next to them are just looking at them and laughing. ”

"I'm going to open the barrier, I'm going to jump out of this boring box. Let this stagnant world begin to evolve again. I'm solving this boring jihad at its roots. ”

"Shut the door when you're afraid of a challenge? Fear of true evolution, but pursue power to fight the so-called Ash Civil War? Don't you think that's stupid? “

Roland smiled, but it was a little reluctant and miserable.

He's seen what will happen next, but there are some things that he can't let go.

"Boy, what you said makes a lot of sense, I admit that the two goddesses of creation are stupid enough to do such a stupid thing, but brother, I ...... Just don't say yes! ”

"Evolution? Yes, I admit that no matter how harsh the environment in the outside world, some beings and races will survive and evolve, and perhaps in the end the Ash plane will be even more powerful than it is now. Let's see, what happens to those mortals? I'm afraid that even if they barely survive in the Holy War, they will be eliminated by the first wave if they can't evolve at all. ”

"Mortals deserve to be eliminated? The weak are born to be the food of the evolution of the strong? I'm sorry, I refuse. ”

"Your brother and I are mortal, your father is mortal, your mother is mortal, your whole family is mortal, Cavins, you little bastard who doesn't know the height of the sky, brother, I will give you one last lesson today - don't look down on mortals." (To be continued.) )
