"In addition, some of our needs also require Warcraft to fulfill, such as the giant alligator snapping turtle that was boiling water where you just took a shower."

"Others include the stamping elephants that help us cut stones, the iridescent tits that sound a warning if a large number of outsiders enter the mountains, and the dead branch deer that occasionally lend a hand depending on their mood."

"These monsters are very smart, which means we can try to communicate with them in a simple way. Although there are many failures, we can finally find a few that we can get along with."

"Warcraft also have things they need from us. For example, they don't have hands, so it's hard for them to build comfortable nests. We also need to clean parasites from their bodies and comb their fur. Occasionally, they'll like the food we feed them and be willing to work hard in exchange."

"That's how we, outsiders who lack food and clothing, can barely survive in this isolated mountain area." After saying this, the uncle sighed again.

"What about in the future? You won't go out?" Xia Lanluo was curious, but at the same time, she seemed to have some anticipation in her heart.

It seems that as long as I stay in this isolated place, I can stay away from the hatred and disputes of the past and live a stable life.

"Maybe I'll go out occasionally, but most of the time I won't go out," the uncle said simply.

"I feel like there's something wrong with the state of the empire. Even though those nobles are still so powerful and invincible, I still feel like there's no future." The uncle simply sighed and added a few more sticks of firewood to the campfire.

"By the way, I haven't told you what I used to do."

"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just help the noble master guard the door."

"Logically, a position like this, where you can be around important people every day, shouldn't be that bad. But in reality, well, the reality is a bit cruel. It's not that important in the eyes of others."

"Just because I see you every day doesn't mean I think you're important. After all, you're just a janitor. It's not worth taking to heart."

"But thanks to meeting so many important people, I've gradually come to understand."

"That's not a place for a little guy like me to survive."

"Actually, I've read quite a bit in my free time and know about the founding and history of the empire."

"The aristocracy system dates back to the era of the True Red Empire, and 'Red Prince' Yalin has continuously improved upon it, establishing detailed ranks and a system of military merit."

"I understand that he did this to deal with the country's early difficulties, to stimulate people's desires with the noble class, and to help the empire unify the continent step by step."

"I have to say, this method was quite useful in the early days, and it also contributed to the empire's prosperity for hundreds of years. Gradually, it grew stronger and annexed one country after another."

"With the twin blessings of the Imperial Royal Family, the two emperors serve as mirrors for each other, ensuring that the level of rule isn't too poor. At the very least, it maintains a general stability of power, preventing one from suddenly going crazy or becoming overly paranoid."

"Originally, all the scripts had been written, but who would have thought that future developments would far exceed the background of the original design."

"The empire's territory is indeed growing, and the fair military merit system is indeed slowly integrating new ethnic groups into the same system. The royal family's noble bloodline, which combines both human and elven blood, has also attracted many people to yearn for it and willingly draw closer to it."

"Even with such a strong and upward trend, it has finally reached the end of its peak."

"As the period of peace gradually prolonged, the population grew, and the great nobles began to absorb the lesser nobles, ultimately leading to the current situation of widespread conflict."

"You asked me how to solve it. Sorry, I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't be hiding here, haha." The uncle smiled, but there was a hint of loss in that smile.

"But haven't you also opened up a new way of life?" Xia Lanluote encouraged slightly.

"It would be wonderful to be able to live in peace with the monsters, to achieve mutual benefit."

"That's not the case." The uncle sighed, put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky.

"This is just a way of escaping."

"It's like covering your eyes and not seeing certain things. The mountains and forests where we live will eventually face the same day as the empire."

“When the population grows, when resources gradually become depleted, when time passes so long that it can no longer conceal its existence.”

"That trial will come eventually."

"Step over and usher in a new life."

"If you can't cross it, you will fall, just like the empire today, gradually collapsing."

"Are you saying that all nobles are bad? That's not necessarily the case. I've also met very kind and wise nobles who have good family traditions."

"But even if there are such people, what can we do?"

"The tide of the times surges upward step by step, constantly crashing against us. We cannot rely solely on the conscience of this small group of people to solve the problem."

"I've learned a lot from the history of Crancia, and I've gradually come to understand the present empire."

"However, even the wisest must submit to the king. Wisdom and insight without action are just empty talk. Just because you know more does not make you superior to others."

"I have spoken with many leaders of uprisings and rebellions, but unfortunately, although they are full of passion, they are unable to find the right path."

"The Empire is not Crancia. It cannot be conquered and reformed simply by relying on everyone's passion. We will face more severe challenges."

"I'm just a nobody. There are actually quite a few people who see the same thing as me, but why is it still the same? It's just that we're all caught up in it, and we can't change it."

“Heroes come from the masses, but not everyone can become a hero. The courage, perseverance, luck, wisdom, etc. required are all so rare and precious…”

"After failing a few times, I realized that I could only go so far. I wasn't the one chosen by fate, and I didn't have that kind of vision and courage."

"I cannot see through the fog of history, nor do I understand how to unite everyone willingly behind the same dream."

"I just hope that when such a person appears, I will still be alive and can walk forward, stand behind him, and run with him towards that magnificent ideal future."

"Perhaps, at that time, even if I cannot be called a hero, I will be able to have a clear conscience in the end."
