As for the book friend's comment that the protagonist's IQ suddenly dropped, I explained as follows. It is the same as the sudden feminine behavior, which is caused by a sudden blow. When the protagonist's self-confidence returns, the IQ will also come back.

From the far west, the army swept in with rolling sand and dust. From the beginning, no one dared to underestimate this invading army.
Long before the arrival of this army, rumors about its power had swept across the entire country like a strong wind. In a small country called Macedonia in distant Greece, after usurping the throne from his biological father, the young monarch swept the entire Corinthian continent in an instant.
It is said that his ambition even crossed the strait and attempted to get involved in the Persian Empire.
Of course, none of the brave men who are loyal to protect the glorious motherland will bow their heads in front of the invaders. The warriors risked their majesty and honor as soldiers to attack Iskandar's army. However, the high morale of the enemy troops that appeared in front of them made them extremely frightened and trembled with fear.
It is neither for the will of the gods nor the call of righteousness. It is just to satisfy a tyrant's desire to conquer. But - why do these soldiers have such high morale and such strong fighting spirit? Even these warriors who risked their lives to protect the country could not compete with them.
However, this was not what really shocked these defeated generals.
Standing in front of the captives, the young Iskandar said like a mischievous child - What I want is not your country. I will continue to move toward the east.
So is this country just a bridgehead for him to continue his aggression? ¡ª¡ªNo, of course not.
So does his ambition even cross the plains of Iran and want to conquer distant India? ¡ª¡ªNo, it is farther east than that.
Seeing that the subjects of the foreign country could not guess his intentions, Wang said loudly.
"My goal is the end of the world. My journey is the farthest edge of the East. I want to see Oceanus (the sea god in Greek mythology) with my own eyes. I want to be there Leave your own footprints on the sand of the endless sea.¡±
Of course, no one believed what he said, they just regarded it as empty words that he concealed his true intentions.
But this man really returned all the control of the occupied areas to the local nobles, and continued eastward with his army. After watching his figure go away blankly, the defeated generals finally understood.
None of the "reasons" the overlord said were lies.
He is just heading east. And just wipe out the people who stand in your way.
"For this reason alone, he abandoned all his glory and wealth. How miserable were the soldiers who followed him and left their homes."
At first, they also felt sad and angry.
And I think how miserable I am that I have to fight for such a stupid reason.
But soon, they suddenly thought that they had lost everything.
What can you see behind that big mountain¡ª¡ª
What can you see on the other side of the sky¡ª¡ª
? ? Exploring the unknown world, isn¡¯t this the dream that all men had when they were young?
But as they grow older, in order to consolidate their status and keep climbing up, men abandon their youthful dreams just for the illusory fame. And now, this man has shattered their current raison d'¨ºtre overnight¡ªand once again ignited the dreams they once held in their hearts.
The men who finally understood this took up their weapons again.
Now, they are no longer heroes or weapons. They are just the teenagers they once were. They picked up the armor and weapons in their hands for the first time and chased their eternal dreams. The hearts that regained courage and hope were beating fiercely, and they followed their path straight towards the kingdom in the east.
In this way, the king's army continued to increase with the victories on the way forward.
The authors are such an incredible group of people in the eyes of others.
The heroes who were defeated, the defeated generals, and the king who lost his throne all came together with the same smile and the same light in their eyes.
Heading towards "Oceanos"¡ª¡ª
The men shouted loudly together.
To the east, like the more distant east, move forward!
Until and "?"A man" together until we see the legendary beach.
The expedition continues without end.
Crossing scorching deserts, climbing over cold snow-capped mountains, crossing raging rivers, driving away ferocious beasts, and engaging in many life-and-death battles with unknown weapons and tactics of foreign peoples who had never dealt with them before.
Countless soldiers died in foreign lands.
Their eyes disappeared as they stared at the back of the king who continued to move forward.
Their ears were listening to the sound of waves coming from the distant east, but it disappeared.
Even if they died in battle after exerting all their strength, they always had a proud smile on their faces.
Soon - I will be able to return to the scene in my dream, the dusk-filled coast I once saw.
There is nothing there except the sound of waves lapping at the shore, the endless sea as far as the eye can see.
That was a scene described to them by their king, but they had to see it in their lifetime.
So, this is not the scene in their memory¡ª¡ª
Rather, it was a scene that they had longed for in their hearts during their heroic fighting careers.
When the dream of the heroic spirit¡¯s memory coming from that distant time and space ended, the young man seemed to hear the sound of waves.
The sound of the waves may have been echoing in his chest.
"What is this? A declaration of war?"
¡°I¡¯ve wanted to fight Caster for a long time, so just think of it as a warm-up before fighting that shiny guy.¡±
¡°But we don¡¯t even understand the enemy¡¯s situation at all!!¡±
"Okay, boy, let's wait until the end of the war to consider these complicated issues. What's important now is that the enemy has already issued an invitation. Can we not respond at all?"
"However, it is very dangerous to start fighting rashly like this!"
Rider suddenly took out the world map that was never leaving his side for a moment, pointed at the first page and said.
"Okay, boy, look here, look at the enemy in front of us."
""
In an A2 size layout, a map of the entire world is depicted. The "enemy" that rider refers to is the entire world.
"Come on, try to draw the two of us in proportion next to our 'enemy'."
¡°How can you draw this¡ª¡ª¡±
"You can't draw it, can you? You can't draw it even with a very thin pen. Even if you draw it with the tip of a needle, it's too thick. This picture is just a drop in the ocean compared to what I should conquer."
""
"Because of this, I feel more motivated."
""
"The smaller you are, the more you have to dominate the entire world with this tiny body. This is the most exciting feeling Listen, this is the beating heart of my conquering king!"
"But, my weakness is destined to become a drag on you!"
"Boy, your inferiority complex is a sign that you are about to develop the spirit of a king. No matter how I explain it to you, in the end you will feel that you are insignificant. But even if you know this, you still insist on asking for help. Move towards high goals. Ah, judging from my experience, in your heart, the seeds of 'dominance' have begun to germinate."
"You're not praising me, you just think I'm a fool."
"However, you are cute and silly."
""
"If I really signed a contract with a master whose ambition and ability are almost the same as you said, then I would definitely feel quite bored. But your wish far exceeds your ability. A willing person like you Those who pursue 'unattainable honor' were the basic principles of life in my era. So because of this, signing a contract with a silly boy like you really makes me feel very happy."
"Thank you, King of Conquerors."
"do not have much left!!"
"However, I can't just be willing to be a burden to you, so let me do one last thing for you." Before the Conqueror King could speak, Weber continued, "My servant, I issue the command with the command spell - ¡ªRider, you must win!" This is not a compulsion, just a natural judgment. So Weber gave the order. He watched in a relaxed mood as the first command spell exerted its magic power and then disappeared. "I issued the command with the command spell again - Rider, you must seize the Holy Grail." The second command spell also disappeared, "Finally, I used the command spell to seize the Holy Grail." Give the order." Weber firmly raised his hand with the last command spell on it and looked at the king on horseback. At least, at this moment, I could look at him without any shyness. This?Being a master is the last and only glory. "Rider, you must capture the whole world. Failure is not allowed." The three stigmata that were quickly liberated emitted the hidden magic power. It whipped up a whirlwind and disappeared. As a magician, Weber may never have the opportunity to use such huge magic power in this life. However, even so, he still felt from the bottom of his heart that this was the happiest act in his life. No regrets whatsoever. As compensation for losing everything, that was enough.
Weber looked down at his hands, and the contract certificate engraved on his hands had disappeared without a trace.
"In this case, I am no longer your master, go ahead. No matter where you go, you are already"
¡°Well, a calm reply came¡
Next, you should hear the sound of horse hooves galloping across the ground - just as Weber was thinking this, he was picked up by the collar, and the next moment, he sat on Bucephalus' back.
"Of course I will rush there immediately - but now that the annoying order has been issued, have you made up your mind? Come and witness the moment when the order is fulfilled."
"You, you, you idiot! I said, hey! I no longer have a command spell! I am no longer a master! Why are you still taking me with you? I"
"Whether you are the master or not, you are my friend and this will not change."
Weber knew that these words, which were spoken with the same smile as usual, were meant for him. At this moment, the strongest part of his heart collapsed - even though he protected it desperately, it only took a moment to destroy it.
Tears welled up in his eyes like spring water. When they flowed down from his nose, they mixed with the snot, making it difficult for him to breathe, and it was even more difficult to make a sound. Even so, he still choked and asked.
¡°¡I¡can someone like me¡really¡really be¡by your side¡¡±
"Why are you still saying this now? You idiot."
The King of Conquerors laughed at the boy's tears as if he were hearing a joke at a banquet, and patted his thin shoulder.
"Aren't you a man who faces the enemy with me? Then, you are a friend. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me with your chest raised."
Weber forgot to laugh at himself. Forget the humiliation before today, the timidity about tomorrow, and the fear at the moment of death.
The unshakable belief of "battle victory" took root in his heart.
There will be no failure or humiliation. He is now with the king. As long as he believes and runs on the road to the overlord, no matter how unreliable his feet are, he will reach the end of the world - he believes so firmly.
"Then it's time to answer the first command spell. Keep your eyes open and take a good look, kid."
"Ah, I will definitely look at it with these eyes!"
The seaside.
"What, caster, do you want to start a war with me like this?"
"Yes, please open your barrier. My friends and I will build fortifications on the spot in the barrier. You are also allowed to destroy it. The one who is annihilated first will lose."
"This kind of condition is quite unfavorable for you, caster."
"Rider, do you still remember the last question at the banquet?"
"of course I remember."
"I will give my answer now. The king is not aloof, because - the king will always stand with his people!"
"King!!" "King!!" "King!!"
"I believe in my friends." Caster said to the Conqueror.
Of course, the voices of more than 70 people cannot be compared with the army of thousands of people, but in terms of momentum, these people not only did not weaken, but exceeded the army of thousands of people.
"In addition, we will use berserker as a foreign aid. I hope you won't blame me."
"Well, you have 30 minutes to build your defenses. Counting berserker, our conditions are almost equal."
