Yalin roared: "This world is based on power. Rights and wealth are just derivatives of power! The strong make the rules, and the weak obey the rules!! Kill them, destroy them, let these ignorant people remember There is no such ridiculous thing in this world as a weak person holding a strong person hostage.”
Different from the world that Yalin once lived in, there are too many powerful beings in this world. When some beings master the power that can destroy armies and destroy countries, wealth and power become irrelevant. In the face of absolute power, there is no room for any conspiracy skills to intervene, and wealth is just an extraneous thing that can be picked up by sex. Power is even more ridiculous. Even though the power of the overlord Garserik who conquered the entire continent at once reached the top of the world, Garserik dared to command the white dragon sealed in the Yanold Mountains. King
Garserik doesn’t dare!
No reason! Just because the White Dragon King has the power to quickly destroy the huge empire established by Garserik, power is a mortal game. For beings who transcend the world, power and financial resources are just gifts of their own strength.
Faron was shocked by Yalin. The old mage thought for a while and felt helpless, but he still didn't agree with Yalin's idea.
"Your Excellency Yalin, please forgive me for not having a mind that can see through everything in the world like a god like you. Killing and suppression can only be a temporary solution. If the use of force to suppress becomes the only way to solve the problem, then anyone in the future will Everyone will use this method to achieve their goals, and order will be lost. "
There is some truth in what Faron said. Just like terrorism in the world before Yalin, it is an international practice that all countries will not compromise on the demands of terrorists, because agreeing to the demands of terrorists is tantamount to admitting the use of If violence can achieve the goal, it will prompt more people to imitate the same method, and then the legal order of the entire world will collapse. No one is willing to negotiate through peaceful means but adopt the most direct method of violence. In this In a vicious cycle, the entire world will be destroyed.
But this is not the world Yalin lived in before!
Yalin said disdainfully: "That is a situation caused by incompetence. It is the nature of living things for people to blindly follow and obey the leadership of the strong. Imagine it! What those reformists did is actually a disguised form of Violent means, when the direct goal cannot be achieved, they will not abide by the order but will try their best to destroy the order to put pressure on you and the conservatives. There are only two final results. One is that you conservatives completely give up your rights to Secondly, they refused their demands and broke out into internal strife.”
Faron lowered his head and fell silent, but these words just hit the old mage's heart.
"And violence cannot be used easily by anyone. At least the user must have enough strength." Yalin ignored Faron's worries overnight, "The reformists are now attached to people. The cancer on the body is absorbing nutrients and growing rapidly. If you don’t dare to remove it because you are afraid of pain, it will only make the cancer grow bigger and bigger, until eventually the cancer will spread throughout your body and kill you.”
"Perhaps we can also cooperate with the reformists┉┉"
Yalin interrupted Faron disdainfully: "The two factions have talked so many times. Has there been any reconciliation?"
"No!" Faron shook his head helplessly. As a representative, he had been talking to the reformists for so long, but the other party was simply raising prices, and even if he agreed to the other party's request, the other party would continue to make new demands. .
"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain! Moreover, the reformists do not have an advantage in numbers now. Even if they want to split the Tower of Sages, they may not be able to do it. Don't forget! You are the only one on the mainland who can use level 20 spells. Great Magister, your attitude represents the position of the Tower of Sages. All countries and forces on the continent covet the technology and influence of the Tower of Sages. You just need not to admit that the reformists represent the Tower of Sages. Tower and expelled them directly, losing their influence on the Tower of Sages, and these reformist members have no value to the various forces on the mainland. "
Faron's eyes finally lit up. The old mage nodded and seemed to agree with Yalin's point of view. However, Faron still raised a question: "So, Lord Yalin, as a god, what do you think of the current philosophy of the Tower of Sages?" Is it still appropriate?”
Yalin said without thinking: "It's outdated!"
Faron did not look angry, but nodded in agreement: "You are right, Mr. Yalin, some aspects of this concept are indeed out of date, but if I follow the method you said and maintain it at all costs, If it is an outdated concept, then it will just make the Tower of Sages go further and further down the wrong path.”
"That's your own problem! Incompetent people will protect their increasingly decadent ideas at all costs, even if they have a corpse in their hands. Those who are truly capable will make appropriate adjustments as the times change, just like Just like a gardener cutting off the rotten limbs of a big tree in order to grow better. Moreover, even if you want to be incompetent, you are still unwilling to let go. In the end, this concept will be abandoned by everyone, just like it is lifeless. The corpse will eventually rot completely." Yalin raised his voice, completely full of contempt for this question.
Faron took a deep breath and stood up. The old mage took off his mage hat and bowed deeply to Yalin.
During the long conversation, Faroon also brought Yalin some news about various aspects of the continent. Yalin paid special attention to the war between the Kalsemmen Empire and the Kingdom of Creses. These two countries, which can be said to have the same origin after the end of the Overlord Era, continued to fight against each other in order to prove their orthodoxy. , and both sides are the two strongest countries in the eastern part of the mainland. Although this war has caused some weakening of each other, the strength of the two big countries at this stage is not something that other countries can compete with.
Augusta Brannis!
After seeing that Yalin seemed to be somewhat interested in the Kalsemmen Empire, Faron also emphatically explained to Yalin the king of the Kalsemmen Empire. Like Silvado, Augusta is also a famous king on the mainland, but Silvado got the title of 'Idiot King', while Augusta was known as the 'Chosen One'! At a young age, Augusta eclipsed his power. His father, who had no choice but to celebrate success and drink, became the behind-the-scenes ruler of the entire country. He was powerful and ambitious. Recently, Augusta personally led the army in a battle. A decisive battle defeated the Kingdom of Creses, thus regaining the entire old capital of the original Perlas Empire and adding a large area of fertile land of the Kingdom of Creses to the territory of the Kalsemmen Empire.
Instead of the previous iron-blooded tactics, they adopted a soft policy towards occupied areas and prisoners. They promoted a large number of officers and soldiers who had outstanding performance on the battlefield regardless of their origins. At the same time, they also had good interactions with the Holy See in the east.
Compared with King Augusta, the newly appointed king of the defeated Kingdom of Creses has made many mistakes. First, he was defeated and harmed the country's prestige. On the grounds that he was defeated, he carried out reforms in the army and punished a large number of officers and generals. , even some generals who had made meritorious deeds on the battlefield were dismissed from their posts, which made King Creses' army, which was already demoralized by the defeat, even more chaotic. The most frustrating thing is that this king also extended the punishment to officials. In fact, some people have seen that the new king has been defeated and started to purge officials who are disloyal to him. However, this kind of punishment does not ask about ability or reason, but loyalty is the only criterion. The cleanup of the Kingdom of Creses has made many people understand that the new king of the Kingdom of Creses is a fatuous man. Some well-known scholars on the mainland have begun to predict that the Kingdom of Creses will be completely overtaken and annexed by the Kalsemmen Empire, and that their own lifetimes should be Can see it.
"┉┉In the decisive battle between Kalsemmen and Creses, the Split Tooth Ax Mercenary Group attacked Princess Lindis's Guards Cavalry. Because of the interference in their command, the Kalsemmen Empire's army broke through. In addition to the defense line, the internal factors of the Kingdom of Creses were also the main factors leading to the defeat. "
As Yalin listened to Faron's explanation, the name Lindis seemed familiar, as if he had heard it from someone. In an instant, a heroic figure appeared in Yalin's mind, that's right! Little Princess Luo Jie'an once mentioned Lindis in front of her. Luo Jie'an seemed to have always regarded her as a role model and looked up to her.
After continuing to listen to Faron's story, Yalin learned that Princess Lindis was the adopted daughter of the old king of the Kingdom of Creses, and she had also shown outstanding talents at a young age. She is praised by the people of Creses as the most shining gem in the kingdom. She has a kind and gentle nature. She has been knowledgeable and proficient since she was a child. After her coming-of-age ceremony, she has been helping her elderly adoptive father take care of government affairs. She has a high prestige among the people. Not only that. Lindis also visited many countries as a special envoy on behalf of the Kingdom of Creses. In the war against the Kalsemmen Empire, she has been fighting against the Kalsemmen Empire until now. The deeds of this princess even spread to the western region of the mainland. Everyone on the entire road, whether they admired or coveted the beauty and intelligence of this princess, collectively called her 'Princess White Wings'!
For this perfect princess who could almost be described as a 'plug-in', Yalin covered his forehead and smiled: "With such a dazzling sister, it must be hard to be a brother!"
Faron showed a self-deprecating smile: "This is not only uncomfortable, sometimes fate is really difficult to figure out. It's a pity that such a talented princess lacks such a crucial drop of blood in her body."
