Chapter 217 The Queen's Wish
"This is the center of the palace."
Semiramis stepped back a few steps facing Shen He, then lay directly on the bed, completely sinking into the soft quilt, she lazily stretched her body, the beauty of her perfect figure blooming at this moment made Shen He There are some heartbeats.
As expected of the legendary character who easily seduced the king.
Even if he knew she was a deadly poison, this charm was enough to make men move closer to her one after another.
Shen He bit the tip of his tongue lightly, using the slight tingle to wake himself up.
If he didn't even have such willpower, he might have already fallen into the desire brought by power.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Joan of Arc and I don't really like overly luxurious residences." Shen He looked around, "If the sleeping place is too big, it will also shorten the distance from the person next to the pillow, or Just the right fit."
"Huh? Do you think it's too big?"
Semiramis pretended not to understand the meaning of Shen He's words, she turned over on the bed, turned her head sideways and looked straight at Shen He.
"Gu doesn't really like a too big residence, but what Gu enjoys is purely the taste of wealth."
"It's really enjoyable." Shen He remembered the time when Tony led him to spend a lot of money, and then shook his head lightly, "But such enjoyment often brings a sense of emptiness, well, I said I'm here to talk It's business."
"Yeah." Semiramis made a sound from his nasal cavity, and patted the quilt beside him with his palm, "You can talk on the bed too, Guhui will listen carefully."
Shen He thought for a while, and actually took off his shoes and climbed up, but instead of lying down, he sat cross-legged in front of Semiramis.
"I've thought about it carefully, and I want to develop Sky Garden into the center of culture, economy, technology, and inheritance of human civilization." Shen He's voice was a little ethereal, as if looking forward to the future.
"Of course this place will become the center." Semiramis played with the ends of his hair with his fingers, "However, Gu prefers to describe it as 'the abode of the gods', master, in this world, Chaldea can become the center of the world." Oh, and only such a status is worthy of the status of a master."
"."
This is the first time for Shen He to know about Semiramis' ambition.
But if you ask her why directly.
She would probably say that what she enjoyed was simply the supremacy of the gods.
"At that time, the master will be the king of the gods."
Semiramis rolled over again, but rested his head on Shen He's lap, gently stroking the skin around his waist with his black gemstone-wearing fingers, and the sweet and seductive voice seemed to ring directly in his ears .
"The servants of Chaldea will be your gods. You will accept the service of mortals and give them gifts. You will spread the brilliance to the vast universe. No one can disobey your will. You will touch the people that no one The pinnacle of reach."
".So..." Shen He lowered his head, staring at the empress's charming gem-like pupils, "Is this your wish?"
"It's also the master's wish."
Semiramis' palm moved upwards along Shen He's arm, and finally touched his cheek lightly, a drunken blush appeared on his face.
"I remember very clearly what the master said, grow up, move forward, I hope to see what kind of things can be witnessed in this unusual life, and what kind of heights can be achieved, and Gu also promised, the master's A wish will be realized by Gu."
"."
In Shen He's heart, there was a strange emotion.
He found that he was wrong, very wrong.
The empress who had enjoyed everything during her lifetime did not have any real desires, whether it was power, vanity, luxury or even status, they were not what she really pursued.
Now she just wants to hand over everything she enjoyed, the most pinnacle thing she understood at that time - the identity of the king of the gods, to Shen He's hands, so as to realize the love that Shen He wanted when he summoned her. Her stated wishes.
Who would have thought that what was hidden in the heart of the "poisonous woman" was the purest expectation that had nothing to do with scheming or conspiracy, just like a girl's heart.
only
"Wrong"
On Shen He's face, there was a distressed and helpless expression.
"Huh?" Semiramis looked at him puzzled.
"You are mistaken, Semiramis."
Shen He couldn't help holding her palm, wrapped the slender and boneless sense of touch in his two big hands, and then gently looked at her bewildered eyes.
"I am a person who was born and lived in modern times. The times have changed. For us, the supremacy, the authority that no one can disobey, and the identity of the king of the gods are not the only pursuits, let alone my wish. .”
People in modern society, in the case of information bombardment, have long stopped thinking one-sidedly when looking at things.
Everyone envied the emperor's Sangong and Liuyuan, life and death.
But everyone knows the emperor's difficulties, lonely, suspicious, and trembling.
So not everyone will yearn for the so-called "no one will rebel" status, in Shen He's view, he even shudders, and there is no joy in life.
"But, but." Semiramis blinked, feeling a little flustered, "This is already the highest height that life can reach."
When she first heard Shen He say that she wanted to move forward and try to reach a height in this life, she always thought that it was a position above everyone else.
But now, Shen He actually said that was not the case.
"This is a matter of outlook on life and values." Shen He felt a little headache.
But today I have to make this clear, otherwise I might not know what else is going on in the Empress's little head.
"Let's put it this way, in your era, weren't there some heroes who dedicated their lives to protecting civilians? They were not selfless, it was because they found their own value in such behavior, and for me , the outlook on life that belongs to life is separate from the values that belong to goals.”
Shen He tried his best to explain in words that the empress could understand.
After seeing her thinking, Shen He went on to say:
"The life I long for is actually very simple. I enjoy the relationship with those close to me, Joan of Arc, Violet, and the two rituals. Saiki Kusuo. I hope that the bond between me and them can last forever, And use this fetter to form my whole life, and my values, that is, my goal, I hope to use my power to change the world"
For Shen He, if there is any goal that belongs to the nature of work, it is undoubtedly to change the world.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will take care of yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will take care of the world.
Shen He can find his own sense of accomplishment from changing the world, and this is the source of motivation for his work.
Following Shen He's long narration, he took out his tablet computer and gave various examples online.
Semiramis finally gradually understood the meaning of Shen He.
And as her understanding deepened, her face became more and more red.
"Semiramis?" Seeing that the Empress hadn't responded for a long time, Shen He couldn't help calling out a few times.
"Lonely, lonely"
Semiramis blushed, and tried to keep calm like a girl who was at a loss, but after seeing Shen He's suppressed smile, he still broke out.
She buried her head in the bed like an ostrich, hugged the quilt tightly, and made a whining sound, as if in this way she could forget the shameful words she said.
"Hahaha."
Seeing such a contrasting cute face of the Empress, Shen He finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
The result of doing so was that she was kicked several times by the empress's feet wearing silk stockings.
However, this was probably the first time Shen He was very happy when he was kicked.
He really didn't expect that the final result would be like this.
Originally, he came today because he wanted to learn from Amakusa Shiro when he expressed his firm will not to be moved by other things, let his purpose override the empress's purpose, and ignored her opinion, anyway, the empress would follow this set.
Who would have thought that everything was just a misunderstanding caused by the gap between the times.
Semiramis had been pretending to be an ostrich for a long time.
Probably at the end it was discovered that Shen He had no intention of leaving at all, and in the end he couldn't pretend anymore, and got up, still hugging the bed tightly in his arms, and the blush on his face was completely gone.
"If that's the case, didn't Gu do something wrong?" Semiramis bit his lower lip lightly, "If Gu seizes the power of the master's subordinates, it will probably cause a gap in his heart, and Gu is planning to expel his partners. The announcement has already been made. conveyed."
In the past, Semiramis believed that the absolute authority of Chaldea and Shenhe should be established first. God would not allow mortals to have the same status as himself, but in modern society, win-win cooperation is the fastest development. way.
"It's also my fault, I didn't explain it clearly to you." Shen He smiled and comforted, "It's just the beginning, and the impact is not big. I have already made it clear on Tony's side. As for Coulson, he is indeed no longer suitable. Manage everything, I will find a more suitable position for him, in short, Semiramis, there is only one thing I am sure of, and that is that I need your assistance."
".Really."
After being silent for a while, Semiramis suddenly sighed, then raised his head, and at this moment, he seemed to be the beautiful and decadent empress again.
"Although I'm used to being served by others, I'm not used to serving others, but... who made you the master?"
Although it was a helpless tone, the smile on the corner of his mouth had already betrayed her.
The Empress felt an experience she had never had before.
"You still need to learn more about the planning and development of modern cities." Shen He had expected this result, he climbed off the bed and put on his shoes, "Sky Garden can be said to have all the characteristics of a developed city, It may not be the 'Abode of the Gods', but it will definitely be the center of the world that everyone aspires to."
"Are you leaving now?" A soft voice came from behind.
Shen He froze.
Because he could feel the touch of the smooth stockings penetrated into his shirt, gently rubbing against his waist and back.
The touch of "master" moves forward slowly.
Shen He fled in despair.
