Britannia Empire, pandragon, Jacob's residence, Jacob's room——

Jacob, lying in bed, closed his eyes.

His eyes were sunken, his skin was haggard, and his face was very bad - that was Jacob's current state.

Dong Dong Dong.

A sudden knock on the door outside the room broke the silence of the room.

"Your Excellency."

The speaker was an old housekeeper who had served Jacob for many years.

"Captain Cheng is coming."

As soon as the old housekeeper's voice fell, Jacob slowly opened his closed eyes.

"Let him in..."

"Yes!"

Squeak

The door was pushed open.

A young man with black hair and pupils and a complex look walked slowly into the room to Jacob's bed.

"Mr. Jacob..."

"Cheng......" Jacob, lying on the bed, turned his head hard and looked at Su Cheng standing by his bed.

"You look... It seems darker than before... It seems that the sun in the south is really poisonous..."

Hearing Jacob's joke, Su Cheng couldn't help but turn his mouth slightly, and a little smile appeared on his face.

"It's also very annoying. Obviously, I went to the South together. As a result, my wife, children and sister didn't turn black. I turned black myself. I don't know how long it will take to come back in vain..."

Su Cheng and all his family members successfully completed their "Southern journey" yesterday and returned to pandragon.

However - just after returning to Pendragon, Su Cheng learned that Jacob was seriously ill.

Since Jacob swallowed the potion in the "patriotic war" and his health was devastated, Su Cheng predicted that this day would happen sooner or later.

But when this day came, Su Cheng still felt that his chest was blocked by something

As soon as he returned to Pendragon yesterday evening, Su Cheng hurried to visit Jacob this morning.

Looking at Jacob's face, which was much older than he thought, Su Cheng only felt a tingling in his chest.

Jacob was no longer a benefactor to Su Cheng.

In Su Cheng's eyes, Jacob is not only his benefactor, but also his father.

Without Jacob's help, Su Cheng was sure that he would never be in such a position as he is now.

Su Cheng pulled over a small chair next to him and sat down. Then he slowly grabbed Jacob's withered right hand.

"Mr. Jacob... How did... Become like this..."

"Cheng... Don't... Show such an expression."

"People's birth, old age, illness and death are just extremely normal things."

"And I'm old enough to live until now. I'm very glad."

"Cheng, talk about some happy things."

"Tell me about your trip to the south."

"After traveling in the south for so long, can you meet some interesting things or go to some interesting places?"

Hearing Jacob's question, Su Cheng was stunned at first.

After tightening his lips and meditating for a long time, Su Cheng said faintly:

"There have been many interesting things... But... There have also been some... Heavy things..."

"Mr. Jacob, I'm glad I've traveled to the South..."

"Thanks to this' trip to the South ', I realized how stupid and arrogant I was before..."

"I don't know when before... It should be from the time I became the head of the Michael knights. My mentality and my mind began to change..."

"Since I became the head of Michael's knights, my position has suddenly become higher."

"Standing at such a high position, I can't see what the people standing at the bottom look like, and I can't hear the voice of the people at the bottom..."

"I was really angry when I learned that your majesty decided to build a plantation in the West and catch the aborigines of the new world as slaves..."

"But now I turn around and think, I was really hypocritical at that time..."

"I feel sorry for the tragic experience of the aborigines in the new world. It's just condescending sympathy and arrogant pity..."

"Just because the aborigines of the new world happened to appear in front of me..."

"I only sympathize with the people who appear in front of me."

"But ignore the thousands of people I can't see below..."

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that I was really a hypocritical person at that time..."

"Your Majesty just moved the oppression from the ordinary citizens of our country to the aborigines of the new world..."

"I, who have been oppressing our ordinary people before, have no right to say that your majesty is not..."

"Thanks to this trip to the south, I know that the wars over the years have made China's national strength so seriously consumed..."

"I've been sitting on a high mountain, and I look magnificent."

"Until I came to the foot of the mountain, I didn't know that the scene at the foot of the mountain was so different from that on the mountain..."

"The foot of the mountain is already a mess."

"Even soma County, which is famous for its wealth, has become like this. I can't imagine what other poorer areas are like now..."

"The war... Can't go on..."

Jacob has been quietly listening to Su Cheng's words since just now... No, it should be said.

When hearing Su Cheng say that he is a hypocritical man, Jacob's expression is complex.

After hearing Su Cheng say that the war could not continue, Jacob's expression was heavy.

"Cheng... You don't have to feel remorse... For the stupid things you have committed before, let it pass by yourself..."

Speaking of this, Jacob pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a self mocking smile.

"After what you said, I found that I was also a hypocritical person... When your majesty decided to build a plantation, I also expressed my opposition..."

"Now think carefully... What I should object to at that time should not be the construction of plantations by your majesty."

"What I should object to... Should be 'oppression'..."

"Just... Let's skip this topic for the time being. Let's talk about other business..."

"... Cheng, long before you started traveling, I found that China's national strength had been seriously damaged."

"Originally... I wanted to have a good talk with you after you finished your trip."

"Now that you have found this problem yourself, it will be much easier..."

"My view is the same as yours. The war cannot continue... If we go to war with a country of the size of the Holy Hiran Empire, our Congress will be quite dangerous..."
