Once upon a time, there was a pair of brothers.

They're lucky.

Their birth, the moment they arrived in the world alone, was the most sincere blessing and heartfelt joy of the entire nation and millions of citizens.

“The old king has a son, and a new heir to the land has been born. ”

In that snowy place, while life was difficult, under the leadership of the wise old emperor, everyone believed that the days ahead would get better and better.

And the old emperor is also middle-aged, because he was wounded when he was young, and his body is rapidly going downhill. The inheritance problem has been plaguing this country, and now two princes appear one at a time, and the land of the northern land may be more stable.

Since that day, the birthday of the Twins has been celebrated as a new national celebration - the Twins' Day.

“The gods bless, hope that they will soon thrive, support this country, expect the Lan royal family to replace Hyun-jun..."

Perhaps that unaddressed prayer worked, perhaps heavenly eyes looked at them and placed expectations on the people. Not only did the twins grow quickly, but they also showed that they were born extraordinary.

“God bless the Lan, our prince is not only brilliant, but also a genius! ”

As young as the Great Prince exhibited an unusually mature mentality, those strange “inventions” brought a lot of fun to Diffindor in the ice and snow, and his brilliance in political classes and literature allowed him to spread his early reputation throughout the country.

Every time I hear him read a government bulletin with a milky pediatric cavity, someone always says:

“The great prince will be a wise king. ”

And the little prince, is a true genius of swordplay and magic. He knows what martial arts are learned, what magic is understood as soon as he sees it, and the speed at which it is advanced is fantastic.

Every time he sees his peers easily dumped behind him, easily beating his mentor, someone says.

“Little prince, will be an excellent general. ”

The more famous the geniuses of the two princes spread, the more the people look forward to the future.

And only the great prince knew that the two men were different.

“Cavins is the genius, I'm just a known crosser. The so-called wisdom, it's just another accumulation. If you don't try, you'll be dumped behind. ”

Roland knows better than anyone that he's just a human reality.

Especially at a time when there's such a real genius contrast.

“The so-called genius, just a little higher at the beginning, then a little better at learning methods, the result is a little more efficient than ordinary people, plus enough concentration of interest, efficient learning methods and time accumulation, naturally easily throwing peers behind. In the eyes of ordinary people, it's probably genius. ”

And his younger brother, a few minutes younger than himself, easily broke his inherent concept of genius.

It's not an efficient way of understanding and learning, but an instinct to learn from the flesh at a glance.

Not the accumulation of time and sweat, you can wave your sword to throw out the sword qi, three days of fishing and two days of netting practice, without the third day to become sword saint, natural sensitive war instinct won the first time in the chess game posting to beat the old general through hundreds of battles.

Martial arts, military and magic can all be understood at a glance, listening to people's humming can learn to compose music, looking at hieroglyphics can deduce language dictionaries, that is to say, not good at politics, but also with wild instincts and excellent human relationships, has not bad standards.

“It's simple. I don't know why you're so real. Brother, you are so stupid, you don't understand. Let's go play after homework. ”

Children's true words reveal a real, cruel gap...

Perhaps there are some people who have stood above the world since birth.

Perhaps, for some, the efforts of others for more than a decade are just the result of his casual play.

Perhaps, with genius already present, mortals should know their own front, give up...

“Psst, I'm your brother, how could I be worse than you? ”

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

Yes, I can't be a swordsman in three days. I spent three years, I guess. Anyway, it's scary to say.

Yes, I can't learn everything, but at least I have two worlds of knowledge, and adult minds, so long as I work hard, what can't I learn?

Early Hui's brother did not give up, but became stronger in constant frustration and... dead face.

Well, I can't think of you laughing as bright and naive, but I can at least imitate a similar smile and express my goodwill.

Well, I don't want you, like, to learn anything, be masterful, but at least I can put a limited amount of energy into what I'm best at, most importantly, uplifting myself in the most efficient way possible, just as good as it turns out.

Failed? And then again.

Lost?

Tired? Sleep well, then.

The brother of a human being, unwilling to lose, wants to preserve the dignity of a brother in front of his genius brother. At the same time, his inner wounds are scarred, but he unaware that he has reached the limit of a human being, becoming a so-called artificial genius.

“Che, isn't the result the same, easy to get to the goal and hard to get to, is there a substantial difference? ”

Roland at that time, I don't know, it's not only different, it's also very different...

The two brothers are happy, and too many of them love them.

The two brothers were unfortunate and had too many shadows to spy on behind them.

Eventually, the two brothers lost everything.

But at that moment, for the first time in their different personalities and lives, they had essentially different understandings about their misfortunes, and this difference in understanding directly led to the subsequent differences in their lives.

“It's all because I'm not strong enough to let this happen, and if I try sooner, no, if I'm ten times stronger than I am now, how can those bastards hurt us? ”

Genius brother falls into self-reproach, regrets his past waste of talent and time, regrets why he is not strong enough.

He also stepped into the abyss after he had borrowed his revenge from it, for only the abyss of evolution and chaos could satisfy his desire for strength.

“Weakness is a sin..."

The last sentence before entering the abyss was his and final obsession to abandon the power of the past.

And the brother of a mortal is caught in self-reproach, but his self-reproach is very different.

“ ……. I should not have trusted the Church of the Holy See, all knowing the nature of the Lord of Holy Light, but believing in those bishops was my stupidity. ”

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

“ ……. There was also a problem with the food corridor in that year. The North is so short of food, we should get more stable food merchants... ”

“….. the new type of gunpowder is not listed either, it should be sooner to improve weapons and equipment…..”

For the same misfortune, the brother of genius came up with only one reason, while the brother of mortal man came up with hundreds of shortcomings, and then, as in the past, kept every single mistake and anxiety in his diary, reminding himself to be careful not to repeat it in the future, and then to make up for the shortcomings one by one.

After the two of them, they only secretly got word from each other, but never saw each other again.

Just a rumor tells them that brothers are no longer on their way.

Since it's only painful to see each other again, or not to see each other, it's just a tacit consensus between the two of us.

Brother in the abyss to see who annihilated who, when amazing talents and cheating lucky family members combined, grew up all the way, refreshed countless historical records, 300 years into the peak, the son of the superior dragon proud king.

He has gained the strength he desires, and he has gained everything he wants.

And brother...

Failed once, come again.

Failed a second time, again.

Failed for the third time, licking the wound, again.

When the journal of experience and shortcomings is eventually filled with hundreds, thousands, or even a library.

Once just a brother of a mortal, he has become a real monster.

It's a monster, just a name, that makes people fear and tremble.

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

He's not just a slogan, he's got his own ideas and methods, he's transforming the whole world with laws and contracts, purifying the world with new holy lights.

Pure power is only one of the least fearful parts of him, and ingenuity and cunning make him regarded as the most terrible evil.

He was no longer blind, he was eager to understand and be understood, and eventually he and his companions stood together.

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

“Oh, see you again. ”

Yes, we met again. Unconsciously, the two brothers stood on a horizon again, as if, this time, neither side could bypass each other.

When both brothers reached the peak of the world, looking back, they found that the trajectory from the world to the past was so different, even quite the opposite...

“One's power is limited, the world is worth saving, but it shouldn't be me. I think the world is better, just sprinkle the seeds and find a companion... ”

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

“If you are not strong enough, you will encounter misfortune. Weakness is sin. This world of the weak is too boring and boring. Therefore, misfortune will exist... ”

My brother and I had the same idea, but the highest power in the world was just as powerful as the whole world.

Unfortunately... No, it should be “inevitable”, their character and past dictate that they will inevitably form a little cognitive disagreement.

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

“The whole enclosed world is a boring battlefield. You kill me today, I kill you tomorrow, but there is no radical change in nature. It's like two bugs fighting each other, but they don't know that the adults next to them are just looking at them funny. ”

“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 dealing with the boring jihad fundamentally. ”

“Fear the challenge and close the door? Fearing real evolution, but pursuing power to fight the so-called Eich Civil War? Don't you think it's stupid? “

Roland laughed and laughed a little reluctantly and fiercely.

He's already seen what happens next, but there are things that can't be made.

“Boy, you're right, I admit that 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 is, some beings and races will survive and evolve, and perhaps in the end the Eichs will be stronger than they are today. Let's see, what happens to the mortals? I'm afraid even jihadists can barely evolve, and they'll be eliminated in the first wave. ”

“Mortals deserve to be eliminated? Weak people are born to be the food of the strong? I'm sorry, I refuse. ”

“Your brother is a mortal, your father is a mortal, your mother is a mortal, your whole family is a mortal, Cavins, you little bastard who doesn't know the heights of the sky, brother. I'll give you one last lesson today - don't look down on mortals. ”
