"Ta, ta."
Walking slowly, Joshua came to the side of the throne. He didn't say much, he just looked down at the earth with Israel.
This is an altitude of 12,000 meters above the surface. The observatory has been fully deployed. The floating wings designed by the old mage are absorbing the power of the surrounding elements to maintain a stable suspension. Four rows of leaf-shaped flying wings forged from metal and crystal are emitting light. With hazy colored light. Further up, there is the thin atmosphere, where only the ether element wanders. Nostradamus also came to the warrior's side, and the three of them looked at the surface world that had been stretched to the limit.
From here, you can overlook most of the empire, including forests, deserts, swamps, mountains, and plains. There are almost all kinds of ecological communities in this vast land. Even exposed lava fields can be found around the wind-eroded desert—no matter where they are. Everywhere you can see dots of city lights. Intelligent life has existed on this land for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even older than that. Hundreds of millions of humans have thrived on this continent. Live your own life.
"It's crazy."
Looking at the world, Joshua spoke. He said: "A man who is several decades old said that he would supervise a quarter of mankind and threatened to eradicate all oppression and evil... Who does he think he is?"
"As you said, it was just a dream of a crazy old man and his teacher."
On the throne, Israel made a low voice: "After the first batch of sinners are eliminated, Teacher Nostradamus will popularize compulsory education throughout the empire - and the school will be built in the mansions of those lords and the Dark Original. On the nest, the royal family will not take any money from their wealth, and will use it all on this."
"When the two masters Barnier and William are officially hired as instructors of my country's Special Research Institute, the materials and structure of the information terminal will be further simplified. It will also become a standard equipment for the people of the empire. After reaching adulthood at the age of 16, the information will be registered with local governments. It will become a new rite of passage - nobility still exists, but privileges come from contribution, and they can spend extravagantly as long as they have enough strength and merit."
"We will not start a massacre... We will maintain the stability of society."
On the side, Nostradamus whispered: "Israel will only execute people who have committed crimes but have not been punished. He will not intervene in ordinary civil and criminal cases. That is the work of the law enforcement department, and I will try my best to cultivate a large number of young people with correct values and worldviews...Israel cannot sit in this seat forever, they will become the pillars of the new society."
The emperor and the old mage have been planning for many years, but they have been stuck in the imperial capital unable to take action because they were unable to take the first step. But now, the opportunity has come. With information terminals and floating battleships, their influence can cover the entire empire. These two people knew that the old society was extremely difficult to change, or even impossible to change, so the two legendary strong men violently used their power to completely suppress and destroy the old society, and then build a new one from scratch.
And this process only takes thirty thirty days.
Crazy to the extreme, this kind of speed cannot be achieved anywhere except in the world of magic and swords, except in the world where there are legendary strong men who can single-handedly suppress tens of millions of armies.
Joshua remained silent, while Israel on the throne turned his head slightly. He glanced at the warrior, and his serious expression changed slightly.
The emperor said in a strange tone: "You laughed."
"Sir Radcliffe... you actually laughed."
As he spoke, the corners of Israel's mouth raised. He snorted first, and then laughed in a low voice: "You just called me a lunatic—Joshua, you are crazier than me!"
On the side, Joshua was indeed smiling. He was smiling happily, very naturally, not sarcastically or deliberately artificial.
"Not all crazy people are bad."
He said this, the soldier closed his eyes slightly, and clasped his hands on his chest: "Everyone dreams, and the things in dreams are all kinds of strange, but you two are one of the few who want to realize the things in your dreams, and it is even more rare. , a guy who can accomplish the things of his dreams.”
Perhaps because of the arrogance from the interstellar age, in Joshua's original concept, the strong men in Mycroft's world are strong enough, but in other aspects they are just people from the magical feudal era. From the old Pope's words, Do you understand light? 'From the beginning, until the subsequent 'matter-spiritual transformation' of the East China Sea Sage, and Garan Nord's 'creation of life', everything was far beyond Joshua's expectations. Until now, Israel Join forces with Nostradamus to rebuild a new society and directly upgrade an empire from the age of feudal lords to the level of a modern civilized society.
The ideas of each legendary strongman surprised Joshua. Their vision was not bound by the times, but went very far... They not only had dreams for themselves, but also hoped that others would also have dreams -
Eagle has spent his whole life trying to maintain order in the world, and with his strength, it only takes about five minutes to destroy the entire world. Garan Nord can ignore the elves and follow the natural path that suits him best, but she Still determined to move towards the unknown together with the entire race, not to mention Nostradamus and Israel, an emperor, an emperor's mentor, the president of the Royal Magic Association, and legendary powerhouses, they were originally the biggest The exploiters, the upper class, no one can oppress them, but these two people are still thinking about how to truly liberate everyone.
"Listen, Israel, Nostradamus."
Opening his eyes, the smile on Joshua's face gradually disappeared and turned solemn. He turned his head and looked at the two of them. The soldier said word by word in the most serious tone: "I believe in your determination, and I don't I think you will be corrupted immediately... But one person cannot always be right, and two people will also be confused - the philosopher king does not exist, and neither is eternal justice. Just like the earth mother goddess, gods also have selfish motives, and the empire and its billions of sons The people are not your playthings, toys used to play a game of 'totalized society', so if that day comes."
Having said this, Joshua paused and said in a calm tone: "I will wake you up if your dreams deviate from your original trajectory."
"Haha... Hahahahaha, it's so good to have these words from you!"
On the side, after hearing Joshua's words, Israel really laughed out loud. He no longer had tears, nor would he laugh because he could not breathe, but he still made this action just because he got it. Agree.
-In this way, I can let go and do something big.
- Even if I make a mistake and go astray, there will still be friends who are powerful enough to stop me. Joshua, your insurance is unique in the world!
And Joshua also laughed. After the three of them laughed for a long time, Israel and Nostradamus took back the smiles on their faces.
"You are right." The emperor looked at Joshua. He nodded slightly and said happily: "Mr. Radcliffe, I cannot always be 'just'. If one day, I really deviate from my own path. , then please come over and wake me up."
"That's exactly why we called you here."
…
On the East Bander Plateau, Nostradamus and Joshua walked in the flowing rainbow rain.
"The pollution is very serious. High-intensity magic radiation will infect this land to the point where no grass can grow. Desertification is foreseeable, and even crystallization may occur."
Seeing the magic machine spewing rainbow-like magic crystal dust, Joshua glanced at the sewage flowing on the ground, and then continued at his slow pace: "I forgot that industrialization must cause pollution."
"The Special Research Institute has designed a special slime that can absorb this specialized mixed magic power. It will be officially put into use in about a month and a half."
Walking in the rain with Joshua, Nostradamus touched his beard, his eyes far away: "And Israel and I chose the East Benert Plateau precisely because it is uninhabited, even if it is seriously polluted , and it will not affect densely populated plain areas for the time being."
"You're just going to leave him alone?"
"He is not a bomb that may go out of control at any time. Let Israel calm down alone. He has not yet tamed divinity."
The two casually chatted about some miscellaneous issues, ranging from the rumored treasure of the Pirate King in the Far Eastern Islands to the intricate family relationships of a certain family in the Western Mountains - it is not strange for an elder brother to marry his niece and a daughter to marry her father. For the sake of blood, Pure, those warlock families never care about ethics.
"Guantian White Tower has conducted research with us. If it is just to ensure that the bloodline is 100% pure, we only need to clone it through necromancy technology. There is no need for incest."
Nostradamus shook his head and commented: "Children born from inbreeding may be imbecile. In fact, the reason why Xishan is so chaotic is because there are not many warlock families that can continue to produce geniuses who can unify the continent."
"To tell you the truth, I've always been curious. The Diamond family only has dragon blood. Where did the goblin blood come from?"
When talking about bloodline issues, Joshua couldn't help but click his tongue a few times, but he also remembered that the Diamond family was also a member of the Western Mountains, but they brought their people to the north at the beginning of the Era, and then they actually Became the ruler of this land: "I mean, of course love has nothing to do with race, but size..."
"Do you really think they're going to have sex?"
Suddenly, Nostradamus's eyes widened in surprise. After all, he was an old man and had no scruples about this topic. The old mage held it back for a moment, but still laughed: "The so-called goblin bloodline just means that he was... Goblin possession - you know that goblins are pure energy bodies, right? Their combination is in terms of energy and soul, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of both parties, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two."
"The soul and energy of people who have been possessed will naturally change and become similar to fairies, thereby achieving an effect similar to blood inheritance."
It turns out to be Valkyrie’s trick! Joshua instantly understood what the so-called possession was about. Putting it this way, it’s really not surprising. Goblins are such a casual race. Whether it is personality or reproduction methods, they are really simple and casual. Putting it in this way, The sixth prince who was loved by goblins might have completely inherited this bloodline of relying on changes.
The two continued walking and left the scope of the Apocalypse Base. Joshua stopped and said, "Okay, Master, just send it here. I will fly back myself."
"That's very far."
"Not for you and me—and it's nice to see the scenery once in a while."
However, just when Joshua was about to take a step forward and get up to leave, Nostradamus couldn't help but said: "Wait a minute."
Joshua turned to look at the old mage without speaking. His expression was calm and his eyes did not fluctuate. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"Joshua... what do you think of Israel and I's choice?"
After hesitating for a while, the old mage asked the question happily: "Although you agree with Israel, you just believe in him. You did not express your opinion on our plan... Whether you are right or wrong, you are indeed Really strong man, we hope to get your advice."
"What do you think?"
Joshua blinked, confused for a moment, but soon he answered: "It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter?!"
"Well, it doesn't matter."
Joshua nodded, but Nostradamus found it difficult to accept this answer. He frowned, took a step forward, and asked extremely seriously: "Is this your answer? It doesn't matter? This is related. All the people of the Northern Empire are related to the future of hundreds of millions of people - morality, order, good and evil, good and evil, everything is in it!"
"No, my indifference does not mean that I don't care."
Joshua shook his head at the old mage's excitement. He thought for a while and then gave his answer: "Listen, Nostradamus, I don't care about the future of mankind. They are happy in Utopia." Wellness, or indolence in a dystopia, that’s their choice.”
"In this regard, human beings should judge themselves or save themselves. I don't care whether they destroy themselves or regain their lives."
Looking up at the sky, the night sky is bright, with countless stars twinkling in the light of the magic tide. The twin moons shine on the sky and the earth, making the entire East Bander Plateau glow with a thin veil of silver. Joshua stares at the stars. He can see , in the huge energy flow sweeping across the multiverse, five stars are changing their trajectories. They are slowly moving towards Mycroft's world.
The gears are turning, the rivers are flowing, the stars are moving because they want to be, because of the resentment of the earth.
"The stance of good and evil, justice or not, is meaningless to the real enemy. Whether it is the evil god or the lord of the abyss, they do not care whether human beings are centralized or democratic."
Looking at the moving stars, Joshua's eyes flashed with silver light, and he whispered: "For them, there are only destruction and being destroyed."
Nostradamus stared at the warrior in front of him in silence. For the first time, he felt that the person in front of him was so strange and yet so familiar. What was the other person thinking? He couldn't understand it anymore.
But in fact, the warrior's ideas have always been very simple.
"You are the emperor and his prime ministers. You need to think about the future of mankind, the stability of society, and the durability of the system... and I am just a warrior."
Joshua was no longer looking at the stars. He lowered his head and looked at Nostradamus. The warrior said in a gentle tone: "I am the enemy of all chaos and evil, their death and their destruction."
"That's all."
Please give me a monthly ticket!
