In addition to the shocking scene where you can feel the helplessness of an ancient tree that may have lived the year before last but died tragically due to desire, there are also some very artistic chairs next to the round table.
They should be integrated with this ancient tree. Using its deeply buried roots, some of the most suitable parts were selected, and turned into a very artistic tree through the exquisite craftsmanship of master carpenters. furniture.
Many of the roots were not cut off, but remained, showing what they looked like when they were absorbing nutrients from the soil.
Du Lin chose one at random and sat down. He patted the armrest. It felt good and he thought he could get one himself.
According to his current plan, he will soon form his own Dulin faction within the new party. Periodic gatherings will be indispensable by then. Now that transportation is becoming more and more developed, when so many people gather together, it will always be... They can't all be crowded together.
Magus noticed that Dulin had been knocking on his table and chairs, and introduced it with a hint of pride, saying that he had discovered it while hunting when he was young.
His first thought at the time was that if such a thick tree was turned into a table, how many people could sit around it
A month later he found out, sixteen people.
The skin is slightly loose, and the fingers with some spots are gently touching the table. The circles of growth rings are clearly visible, and they are getting denser towards the middle.
Inexplicably, he sighed, "Time flies so fast. The gap that is never prepared for others will just escape from your eyes with a whoosh."
He sighed softly and sat down. The two were not very close, but the atmosphere in the study was very good.
When the sunlight shines in from outside the bright window, the particles floating in the air always give people a very special feeling, as if... Time finally felt tired at this moment and took a short rest.
The two adjusted their mood for a while, and then started chatting before the meal.
"I heard that Schnoder arrived in the imperial capital. Did you meet him?" Mags always had very accurate information, which also had something to do with him paying attention to this matter.
Dulin nodded, "We just met. Those people were definitely a big deal this time. They directly gave Schnoder half a million yuan in benefits, but he was smart and donated the money to a charity fund." meeting."
Mags raised his eyebrows, "Oh? This time it's a bit beyond my expectations, but it's not a special surprise. After all, this matter concerns you, and he has to arrange every next step for himself. "
"I have considered for a long time that your style of conduct is actually not suitable for the path of politics. The environment in the empire is completely inconsistent with your personality. It will be difficult for you to continue here."
"But I changed my mind again. I used to like to be alone quietly when I had time, so I built a large pond and raised some agate fish in it..." He said and smiled, and then He leaned back on the chair, acting naturally and comfortably.
"You know that kind of fish? They are very beautiful, especially when there is light, but they always die in batches. Until my gardener told me that in addition to the agate fish, the pond also needs some other fish to interact with each other. Only by this effect can the agate fish not remain stagnant for a long time and eventually die due to lack of oxygen.”
"So I threw some little wolffish in there that were aggressive but not going to eat the agate fish, and for a long time those little things were fine, but then they all died, you know why?"
Du Lin pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Because the little fish has grown up!"
Mags pointed at him, and the smile on his face showed that he was very happy, "Yes, those wolf fish have grown up. They are no longer satisfied with eating fish food, but also want to taste the taste of blood."
"This empire is like that pond. I, including others, are like agate fish. They can make this empire look beautiful, but once we stop, the empire will be finished."
"And you, that wolf fish, in a place you don't know, there are many people racking their brains to deal with you. This gives me a very good feeling, letting me see them start to live again, and they start to fight for something. Start working hard towards a goal and start contributing your own value.”
"You made a lot of people dissatisfied, but I stopped them, and then I saw them start to work hard, start working seriously, seek a higher status, more power, and then continue to deal with you."
"This is good. Everyone is moving and no longer lifeless. Whether they are trying to kill you or not being killed by you, this is a good thing."
"If there is no sense of crisis, we will become corrupt again. Only when they feel that death is approaching, that power is about to be taken away, and everything they own will turn into dust, can this empire become better."
Du Lin's expression was very calm, and he added casually, "But I will eat those fish. The food of the wolf fish is other fish, not fish food."
Mags smiled indifferently, "A place with blooming flowers will always make people greedy, but a place full of death will only make people fearful."
"In my opinion, whether the Ogdins, the Guarts, the Shanyas, or the barbarians of the north, we are all one, and when we come together, we are called 'empire'!"
"People will always die, but as long as the Empire is 'alive', we are all still alive."
"Let a group of incompetent people gradually bring this empire into the abyss. On the contrary, I hope there are more people like you to control this country and reach the kingdom of heaven!"
When he said this, Du Lin couldn't help laughing, laughing very loudly, "I believe that the Lord of Heaven will be very sad when he hears your words, and maybe he will close the door of heaven for you."
Magus couldn't help but burst out laughing, "God? Lord of Heavenly Righteousness? Please forgive me for the bad words I'm going to say, beep beep beep beep, you don't know how many priests we killed and burned in those years So many statues, they always say that even God is crying.”
"But you see, the gospel of God is still caring for us!"
"God is honored by mortals. What can He do when we don't acknowledge it?"
"Sometimes what we think is correct, or even common sense, is often not necessarily true, and this is exactly what I intend to say to you. Maybe it will make you confused for a while."
"The empire you have seen and the history of the empire you have come into contact with are actually part of the lie!"
When Mags finished saying this, he smiled like a child who had stolen candy, so treacherous and treacherous!
