Chapter 536 Additional Settings (Can be skipped, but it is best to read it)
"Uncle Dean, I want to hear a story!"
Richard blinked his big watery eyes, holding the slightly worn fairy tale book in his arms with full of anticipation, trotted to Kreacher, raised the book high in his hand, and handed it to Kreacher.
Seeing the cute little Richard so enthusiastic, Kreacher's face immediately bloomed with a friendly smile. He bent down and gently touched Richard's head, and said softly:
"Okay, okay, the dean uncle will read you a story right now~"
As he spoke, Kreacher took the book from Richard.
However, when he saw the title of the book clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned - it was another book called "The Knight's Adventure"!
This book tells the same old story:
The story between a brave and fearless knight, a ferocious and cruel dragon, and a beautiful and kind princess.
The dragon kidnapped the princess unreasonably, but the knight, with his extraordinary courage and superb swordsmanship, finally defeated the dragon after going through untold hardships and successfully rescued his beloved princess.
For some reason, Richard seemed to have an unusual fondness for this story.
Every time Kreacher was asked to read him a story, the same one was assigned.
To be honest, Kreacher himself found it a little unbelievable, because after reading it so many times, when he read the story, he hardly needed to look at the words in the book again, and he could recite the whole story completely and accurately naturally.
Although he felt a little strange about this, Kreacher didn't think too much about it.
After all, every child has some unique preferences, just like some children have a special liking for a certain kind of food and never get tired of eating it.
Maybe after a while, Richard will shift his focus and stop dwelling on the same story.
Thinking of this, Kreacher smiled, turned the pages of the book, and began to read this familiar story to little Richard in an emotional voice...
.................................................. ........................
[Finally, the brave and fearless knight, after going through untold hardships, finally succeeded in rescuing the beautiful princess who was imprisoned by the dragon.
After a thrilling and fierce battle, the knight defeated the ferocious dragon with his extraordinary courage and superb swordsmanship and became a hero admired by everyone.
The news soon reached the palace. The king was very pleased when he heard about it and decided to reward the knight who saved the princess.
Therefore, at the grand and solemn ceremony, the king personally awarded the knight supreme honor and generous rewards...】
However, even though this legendary story has come to an end, Richard has no intention of getting up and leaving Kreacher's warm embrace.
Kreacher didn't care about this and thought: If this little guy wants to stay in my arms like this, then let him be.
Anyway, I don’t have anything to do this afternoon.
Kreacher stretched out one arm and gently wrapped it around Richard's small body, while his other hand stroked his back slowly over and over again, as if stroking a cute kitten.
When Richard first came to the orphanage, his slightly strange behavior really made Kreacher suspicious.
But as time went on, the two of them spent more time together, and Kreacher gradually let down his guard.
It turns out that this child is just a poor kid who lacks a sense of security.
Fortunately, Kreacher has always been good at dealing with children, and he firmly believes that he can help Richard regain the innocence and happiness that a child should have, and truly grow up to be a carefree child.
.................................................. ........................
Richard lay obediently in Kreacher's arms......
He really liked that story very much, so much so that even the dean would occasionally hug him and say, "You will definitely become a great little knight in the future", even though they all knew that there were no knights in this era.
But Uncle Dean was completely wrong, he wanted to be a knight, but he didn't want to save the princess or kill the dragon. What he really liked and wanted was the reward from the "king" at the end of the story.
In Richard's eyes, "Sweet Home" is Uncle Kreacher's kingdom and Uncle Kreacher is the king here.
The person a knight should follow till death is the king, not the princess.
Just like in the story, the knight went to save the princess only because of the king's order.
That’s right, everything is just the order of the “king”, and the knight should only obey the “king”, not the “princess”.
Moreover, Richard didn’t think that the king valued the princess that much, because if there was a knight in the kingdom who could defeat the dragon, why was the princess kidnapped in the first place?
Everything was just a ridiculous arrangement by the author of the book. He forced the knight to create a plot to save the princess and forced him to fall in love with the princess, but in fact he didn't love the princess at all. He was just following the king's orders.
The "Knight" will not fall in love with the princess. Instead, he will choose to kill both the "Princess" and the "Dragon" together.
The reason is very simple. After the "princess" was abducted, she was not eaten by the "dragon" immediately. Instead, she kept waiting until the knight came to rescue the princess.
They were easily abducted by the dragon without any resistance or fear. Doesn't that mean they are obviously in the same group?
Everything was just due to a ridiculous plot arrangement, but Richard didn't want to follow this plot, he wanted to resist.
Just like the pictures Richard drew...
In the orphanage, Kreacher carefully respected every child. He even bought a small wooden box with a lock for each child, and the children kept the keys themselves.
Everyone can put some small things in the box that they don’t want others to see. It can be anything. Others are not allowed to ask him or her, and are not allowed to look for other people’s keys to see what’s in other people’s boxes. This is everyone’s common little secret.
Richard really likes this box. Every time he opens it, he feels like a knight in a story who has discovered a hidden treasure.
The most numerous items in the room were Richard's paintings, all of which featured a killed "princess" and a "dragon".
The "Knight" has no way to disobey the arrangement of the plot. He will follow the plot, but he will also rebel. The only person he is loyal to is the "King".
Richard would cut off the heads of the "dragon" and the "princess" together and present them to the "king".
Because...a knight's loyalty is only to the king...
【As long as I am happy, anyone can suffer】
But Richard likes Uncle Dean~
The "Knight" will offer his loyalty to the "King",
So Richard will definitely make Uncle Dean happy.
.................................................. ........................
Okay, same old thing.
The author would like to talk about the metaphor he buried, because the author feels that he buried it very deep. If he does not say it out loud, no reader will find it.
First of all, if you read the above paragraph carefully, you will find.
Knight, Princess, Dragon, King
Some of these four important characters are enclosed in double quotation marks, while others are not.
Because it is divided into two parts: the story that Kreacher reads to Richard, and the real people in reality.
The words without quotation marks refer to ordinary characters in the story, while the words with quotation marks can be automatically regarded as people’s names by readers, so you can roughly understand what Richard is thinking.
The "knight" refers to Richard himself.
The "Princess" refers to Richard's sister.
The "dragons" refer to Richard's parents.
"The King" refers to Kreacher. (Part of the author's inspiration here is the plot in the original story where Kreacher calls himself the King)
Richard would think that the "princess" and the "dragon" are in the same group, which is a metaphor for the fact that in the original family, his sister and parents are in cahoots with each other and are also evil people.
They were high and mighty and set up all kinds of difficulties for the "Knights", and stood on their high ground to laugh at the "Knights" who were frustrated again and again.
This is a metaphor for Richard being ignored by his parents at home and bullied by his sister, but being unable to appeal because of his parents' favoritism.
The most important "author of this story" is a metaphor for those who set up this series of story plots, that is, his parents' former partners who later picked up Richard, and who also wanted to use Richard to bring down the Sterling family.
The "Knight" cannot resist the plot, he must save the princess, but he will also make some "modifications". He will cut off the heads of the "dragon" and the "princess" together and present them to the "king".
This is a metaphor. Richard is too weak now. He cannot resist those partners. He still has to follow the plot they set. He can't stay in Kreacher's orphanage forever, because this will cause trouble for the uncle director.
And Kreacher is the "King" in Richard's eyes. A "Knight" should be loyal to the "King" and protect the "King's" safety, which means that Richard will leave here for Kreacher and follow the established plot.
But don't worry, in Richard's imagination, the Cavaliers made a change, didn't they?
The original plot was that the knight rescued the princess, killed the dragon, and won the king's praise. It was a happy ending.
However, Richard changed the plot...
Do you think that when the king saw the once loyal knight presenting him with the heads of the dragon and the princess, the ending of the story was still "happy"?
Richard is very obedient. He will play the role of Richard and the knight well. He will follow the established plot, but for the sake of the king he loves, he will rebel, which will make this story no longer "happy".
When the author of this storybook saw that the story had turned out like this, he saw that everything was going according to his plan, but he didn't know where something went wrong. Clearly, whether it was the knight, the dragon or the princess, everything was following the established plot, so why did the story turn out like this?
Hehe, Richard is looking forward to what kind of expression the author of this script will have.
(One more thing to say.
If anyone has a way, could you please help the author post his settings in the comment section of NetEase?
I seriously doubt whether he can write a plot.
There are obviously hundreds of ways to write pure evil, but he chose to use the most disgusting and stupid method.
NetEase feels like - oh, let's write a pure evil character this time,
Then it is pure evil, there is no reason, it is just evil? !
It is obvious that you could write about Richard, who was spoiled by his parents and sister since childhood, but the reason he did all this was simply because he thought it was fun. He just thought it was fun and there was no reason to do it.
Or maybe it was written in the author's way, suffering setbacks and then being redeemed. Originally everything was like a script for the protagonist, but he chose to play the villain. It doesn't matter, because he just wanted to do it. There was no reason, and he just went all the way to the end.
But the writing of NetEase is really stupid. They want to write a purely evil character, and then let him do all kinds of bad things, and then... that's it?! Nothing at all?! (;一_一)?!
I'm really curious, if NetEase really makes the plot of The Knight like this, then will he be the entertainment star of this year?
Because of this kind of plot, the author feels it is really exciting.
This is what a real horror game should have.
Most of the recent character designs feel so flat.
And most of the recent roles are just living off their past glory.)
The above are all from the author’s random thoughts. Please don’t take them seriously, readers. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you take them seriously.
The authors can regard this chapter as a transitional chapter. The main reason is that the authors want to further subdivide Richard Sterling's plot design and some of his ways of thinking.
After all, it is a new character, and there is nothing else except some PVs and netizens’ thoughts.
However, sometimes I really want NetEase to take a look at these settings made by the author, because I really feel that since the planner changed, the original three-dimensional characters have all been flattened.
Among them, the most iconic and flattened character is the eternal pain for old players and will definitely be mentioned by anyone who knows the original plot - Kreacher.
I understand everything I understand.
