Meanwhile, a couple of children were in a marginal neighborhood of the capital.
One of them was an 11-year-old boy, His hair was black, Brown eyes like the earth, while his face was a little more striking than the average. He certainly was not ugly but he was not a gallant either.
While the other part was a little girl of 4 years old, This was a blonde girl with blue eyes and a beautiful face. Having a pair of pigtails that made her look very adorable.
These were of course, Alexander and Helena.
Alexander was here to change his Martial Coins into spiritual Stones, while Helena was dragged here by Alexander.
Helena in a tone of complaint said: "Young master, why do I have to come here, I want to walk around town with Miss Anna and Audrey!"
Helena felt unfair that while Anna and Audrey were roaming the City spending Alexander's money, she I had to be with Alexander in these places. She also had the right to spend the money of her young Master.
In the last 20 minutes they had been approached by more than a dozen perverts. I knew she was cute and sexy but it was not for men to harass her so much!
Alexander only said while walking: "Helena, do you think the world is simple?"
Helena did not understand why her young master told her that but she still shook her head.
Alexander then said: "In this world is governed by the law of the jungle, the weak dies while the strong eats the weak and becomes even stronger. In your homeland you could receive all kinds of luxuries just for one reason: Your clan was strong. But now I ask you: Your clan where is it? And where are you now? "
Helena saw Alexander confused, She already knew that she was far from her Clan. I did not need Alexander to remind her of it. But what she said next shocked her: "Now you are weak and without any support, First you must know that, If someone kills you, your father may avenge you but by that time you will be dead."
Helena with a stern expression said: "And? Why do not I join a power? So I would have enough background to live a comfortable life "
Alexander smiled and said:" Haha, A comfortable life joining a power ?, Helena life in the Sects is ten times or a hundred times worse than the secular world, That's where most is applies the law of the jungle, It's like locking a thousand cows in a square meter of grassland and making them compete for food, Only the fattest cows will survive while the lean cows will die of hunger slowly "
Helena is confused by the words of Alexander and He said: "But the powers are rich in resources, Much more than ordinary people, Why do they have to starve?"
Alexander replied: "They do it for a reason, The resources they earn are not given away. If only they were given away, their younger generation would become increasingly inept until they reach the point at which their power will fall. It does not make sense to fatten a cow that in the end only caused a fire in the meadow, Each sect has different systems to create the mentality they want in their disciples, but all are based on the law of the jungle. If your fist is bigger than mine, Speak but Shut up. This not only applies personal strength but precedents, now you understand it? Joining a power is not as beautiful as it is painted. It is true that you can find rare resources in these sects but remember these words: The garbage of some is the treasure of Others "
The garbage of some is the treasure of Others?
Helena asked: "What does that mean?"
Alexander said: "It means what you hear, In these lands, there will always be rich and poor, For the rich a gold coin is insignificant while for the poor it is twenty months of food, For many finding a 1-Rank herb is a miracle while others treat them as weeds in their gardens. If you do not believe me, just think what you've lived since you came from your homeland. For many if your father came here personally he would be treated as a god but there may be places where your father would only be a mere servant "
Helena had an ugly expression on her face and could not think of a place where her father, a maximum be of the universe be a mere servant. In other words, she was a servant but she did not do anything about servants.
Alexander turned around and said: "What I'm trying to say to you is simple, Advance always advances no matter if it's slow or fast, sink deep in the lake, climb the highest mountain, go to places where the resources you need are available. If you do not find an alchemist, Learn Alchemy Dao, If you do not find an Array Master, Learn Array Dao. You want to have the most delicious dinner in the world, Prepare it yourself. In life you can not depend on other people all the time, Even if you have a big background if you travel a million miles you can end up dead. In this life you will always find some unscrupulous crazy people who do not care about death or offend your power "Alexander smiled brightly at Helena and said:" You know why I know, Because I'm one of those crazy people "
Helena felt cold sweat in her back and finally knew why her young master brought her here, Solo was there to give her a reprimand.
At the sight of Alexander, Helena lowered her head and touched her fingers in a timid manner and said: "I have no talent in anything, In my Clan they tried to teach me Alchemy, Arrays even dance but all the masters gave up. They said that I had no talent to be anything other than normal. In the end, my father said that I should dedicate myself totally to my cultivation. There was no point in wasting time on something impossible. After that I just spent my time cultivating or playing with my brother. "
Alexander shook his head and said," Who said talent was needed to learn a profession? "
Helena raised her small head and Alexander said," Even if a Snail starts a journey of a thousand miles will come. It will not be known when, perhaps the snail has setbacks in the trip but if it recovers it will certainly reach distances that others never arrived "
Alexander returned to his path and said to Helena:" Helena, If you had to describe the cultivation in a graphic example what would be your example? "
Helena silently said:" My parents always said that cultivating was an action against the heavens. I guess it would be a man against a storm "
Alexander nodded and said:" That is very subjective, Many academics declare the cultivation in a similar way, a man climbing an endless mountain, Against a storm, Against a giant. It's very heroic in fact but you know, once I read in a book written by an unnamed Academician a phrase: Farming is the same as taking the first steps for a baby "
Helena was speechless at such an absurd comparison but Alexander said:" For my comparison is the most accurate, A cultivator will always be a newbie, a newborn, no matter what level he is, his experience only serves for later generations but not to move on his way, is totally blind. Your steps will always be clumsy and slow, There will be falls, whining and you will always want an adult to help them get up but the day will come to be lifted by themselves, regardless of whether you are a genius or an ordinary person will come the day in that the hand of an adult is not there to give you the counterweight to not fall and that day is the day you show your worth to others, Genio is not the one who takes refuge in his home while his elders protect him, but the that by itself you want to eat the world "
Alexander without seeing Helena said:" Now the question is, Helena, when will you take your first steps? "
This left Helena deeply shocked.
For her, what her young master wanted to say was simple.
I wanted to be remembered as another member of the Prik family or that people will tremble when they hear only her name.
That if the day came that the Clan left her name alone would be able to earn the respect of the masses or just use his surname to make life easier with the work of their ancestors.
This is the decision I would have to make one day.
At this time I could only see Alexander's back and remember that on this trip even millions of miles from home he never said his family's name.
It only appears with your name. It is true that the Alba family was a small family but Alexander did not care if it was a colossal or small family.
If his ancestors were farmers or Saints, He wanted that even without their last names, only his name was respected.
Now the question was, what does Helena want?
