Attack on Titan: My World

Chapter 19 Zen Master

System prompt: Giant Calendar, November 843, 11, in the Giant Tree Forest, at nine o'clock in the evening, by the campfire, the three of them were drinking and chatting, enjoying their meal.

"Oh, I'm getting old and confused."

The old man Aaron patted his head and said, "What are your two kids called?"

"My name is Wang Lun Bryant!"

While eating meat, Wang Lun quickly answered.

"My name is Christa Lance."

Christa did the same and quickly agreed.

"well!"

The old man took out [paper and pen] from his pocket and wrote down their names.

"Haha, it's worthy of being called Hunter Pocket!"

This “Hunter Pocket” is really like the pocket in Doraemon, very versatile. Wang Lun couldn’t help but marvel in his heart!

"Although my physical skills are still good, my memory is really not good enough."

Aaron hurriedly explained his behavior, saying that the embarrassment just now was caused by misunderstanding.

When meeting people, only say three-tenths of what you want to say, and don't reveal your whole heart to them.

However, the old man Aaron was an upright and kind person, and he had never done anything criminal.

"You two kids are from the Reis Ranch, right?"

Aaron then asked.

"Yes...it is indeed."

Christa answered, but his eyes were erratic.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about your past. But now is the time when the country needs people. You two young people are handsome and have extraordinary temperaments. Are you willing to be herdsmen for the rest of your lives?"

The old man paid no attention to Christa's concealment, but expressed his generous aspirations, and hoped that young people could contribute to the construction of the country, in the hope that more people would inherit his wishes.

"This... this is not my hometown. I don't want to stay here for a long time."

Wang Lun looked embarrassed and refused immediately.

"Well... do you have anywhere else to go, or a better way out?"

The old man Aaron persuaded Wang Lun.

"Uh……"

Wang Lun was undecided for a moment and thought that the old man was trying to refuse his kindness.

"I would like to, but I don't have any special qualities. I'm afraid the army won't accept me."

At this point, Christa had no choice but to tell him about his difficulties.

"Let's eat the meat first."

The old man then handed over the roasted pork.

“Delicious, tender, juicy meat.”

Wang Lun took the meat and started eating it without hesitation, praising the pork highly.

"Godfather, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good!"

Wang Lun then began to praise the old man.

"Hunter, butcher, cook, soldier... How come this old man is so versatile?"

Wang Lun was secretly surprised.

"What a pity for my longbow!"

The old man Aaron looked at his longbow and expressed regret.

"Godfather, what do you mean?"

"I started hunting for a living when I was in my teens, and then I chose to leave the forest and join the army. I dedicated all my youth to the corps where I served for nearly fifty years, and after retirement, I became a hunter again!"

The old man Aaron briefly described his life and said to Wang Lun and the others meaningfully: "Meeting you two here at my old age can be said to be a fate sent by God."

"May I ask your godfather's last name?"

Wang Lun interrupted the old man and asked this question.

"what?!"

The old man was startled, not understanding what was going on, but he still said firmly, "Braus."

Westerners' surnames come at the end of their given names, that is, the given name comes first and the surname comes second.

"No wonder his archery skills are so outstanding. It turns out he is from the [Braus Family]!"

After listening to this, Wang Lun continued to ponder, holding his chin and thinking about things.

At this time, the system prompts: 843:11 on November 3, in the Giant Calendar, it is already late at night. In addition, the Braus family is a large family in the forests and villages between Wall Maria and Wall Rose. They have been living on hunting for a long time, and the family history has been as long as a hundred years.

"I've seen it, I've seen it."

After listening to the system prompt, Wang Lun nodded secretly and showed more respect and trust to the old man in front of him.

"Brother, what are you doing again?"

Christa woke up Wang Lun, who liked to think.

This is how scholars are, they always immerse themselves in their own world, which makes outsiders feel very surprised.

In fact, these are some issues they are thinking about.

"What's wrong?"

The old man Aaron then asked worriedly.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter."

Christa said jokingly.

"Okay." Aaron ignored them and asked them to eat and drink, then continued talking about his own things.

"Military discipline is lax, internal corruption is rampant, and taxes are being raised year after year even though there is no war. The people are living in misery."

As he said this, there was obviously some excitement in the words of the old man Aaron.

"I have seen the severity of the taxation. We have come here on a long journey, and after paying the tax we have to rush back to the ranch."

Wang Lun does not belong here. In reality, he has been educated with advanced ideas such as freedom, equality and democracy, so he dares to speak out against the injustice here.

"Godfather, this is one of the reasons why I don't want to join the army."

Having said that, Wang Lun expressed his true thoughts.

At this moment, Christa stared at them, her mind seemed to be strongly impacted.

For more than ten years, ever since Christa could remember, she had been working hard every day. Eating, herding sheep, inspecting, working hard every day, from nine to nine, she was basically a machine without emotions.

Her thinking has improved since Wang Lun came here.

If she hadn't heard these things, she wouldn't have been so dissatisfied.

However, due to her status, she did not dare to truly confront reality.

"However, Godfather, you have been in the army for so long, you should have a lot of feelings for the army. Why are you so indignant?"

Wang Lun expressed his confusion.

"Alas, although I work with them, I can't stand the fact that they are muddle-headed, addicted to alcohol, deceive their subordinates and lie to their superiors, and do nothing!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, clenching his fists as if he was going to hit the group of people who were doing nothing.

"Calm down. Godfather, please take care of yourself and don't be so worried and angry!"

Seeing this, Christa hurriedly comforted the old man and told him not to hurt himself so much.

"No wonder you are still alone in your old age. You are so upright."

Wang Lun actually had complicated feelings. He lamented the old man, but also felt sorry that he didn't know how to flatter.

As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes.

"Others have served in the army for many years, and after retirement they should live in a Western-style building, but the old man continues to return to the remote countryside."

Wang Lun analyzed the old man's situation in his mind.

Wang Lun had his own assessment of Aaron Brown's life. If he was asked to be like the old man, he might not be able to do it.

However, for Christa, her brother Wang Lun and the old man Aaron are both her ideological enlightenment teachers, the former is emotion and the latter is life.

With such a Zen master, Christa had the idea of ​​rebellion for the first time.
