Chapter 2610 Preparation
The Fairy Kingdom is isolated overseas, and there are many magical creatures and witches living on it. Humans and magical creatures live in peace under the protection of the Fairy Queen.
The Fairy Queen usually likes to pretend to be a maid, cooking and cleaning the house everywhere. It can be said that if you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world. And as a queen, the main job seems to be cleaning, because the Fairy Kingdom is very safe, and the creatures on the island have a lot of skills but have no place to use them.
Because there is no place to use them, there are witches who feel dissatisfied, thinking that they have learned so many skills but have no place to use them. It is really a waste of talent, and they want to leave the island to make a living.
They can't get out, so Duran sent the task to the island, and the Netherworld Branch persuaded the Fairy Queen to start researching the Netherworld.
The Netherworld is an open and complex system. Openness means that there are connections between each layer of the Netherworld and between it and the real world, and they are constantly exchanging information, materials, and energy. After research, the human mind can be combined with the intelligence of the Netherworld, and the status of mankind will be improved again.
Although I don't know how to do it, it can be studied anyway.
The queen only needs to study according to Duran's method. It is simple and convenient, and can dive into the depths of the netherworld and maintain sanity.
This is the ultimate home exchange. When Griffith was doing things in the human world, his home was almost gone. Of course, things in the human world were not going well, because the appearance of the princess's territory kept slapping Griffith in the face, and his face was swollen.
The perfect savior, the only human country, these settings that look high-end, but because the princess's territory is too outstanding, they are ridiculous. The various outstanding performances of the princess's territory made Griffith embarrassed. Although Griffith has blocked intelligence, the planes and airships that fly from time to time, and the trains that whizzed past the city always whistle intentionally or unintentionally.
It seems that it is not showing off, but just normal work, but in Griffith's view, this is a provocation, that is, showing off.
What is more serious is the system of constitutional monarchy, which is a slap in the face of Griffith. A country that does not rely on a savior at all, even the princess is just a mascot, and everything is decided by everyone, not relying on the king or the savior. Compared with Griffith's one-man show, I don't know how much more advanced it is.
Of course, Griffith's diehard followers will not accept the Princess Territory. No matter how well the Princess Territory develops, they are willing to accept Griffith unconditionally. In their minds, Griffith will not go wrong, and Griffith's route is 100% correct.
But is it really so? Every expedition has heavy casualties, and it takes several apostles to win. The Eagle Kingdom is not perfect either.
The characteristics of the creatures in the netherworld are still very obvious. The weak individuals act collectively, and those who act alone are strong individually. Anyway, they are not easy to deal with, so many human soldiers died, and they can only rely on the apostles and Griffith, and can only rely on them.
But after one or two times, the people of the Eagle Kingdom will think, is there really no other way? Aren't the people in the Princess Territory living well with the creatures in the netherworld? Why are they so miserable every time they go on an expedition? So many people have to die?
There is no harm without comparison. Once compared, Griffith's path seems so unreliable.
And there is another problem that Griffith actually did not realize, that is, the key point of being a king, that is, you must never do it yourself. As a king, as a monarch, you must do nothing. The more you do, the more mistakes you make. The less you do, the fewer mistakes you make. If you do nothing, you will make no mistakes.
Although Griffith is the Hand of God and is very powerful, as long as he has weaknesses, he will expose his weaknesses because he does it himself, and his level will be seen through. So as an emperor, you must remain mysterious, only in this way can you maintain the deterrence to your subjects.
Although Griffith's forced appearance is very good at present, if he continues like this without doing something new, the people of Eagle Country will soon think that Griffith can only fight. In this case, why do we need a mortal army? He can just take the apostles out to fight. Why increase casualties?
In the original work, there is no comparison with the princess's territory, so it takes a long time for Griffith's level to be exposed, but now there is a comparison, and the speed of the level exposure is fast.
It's really unpleasant, how unpleasant? It's like there is no air conditioning on a hot day, anxious, angry, unwilling, and confused. In short, it's very uncomfortable. This emotion hurts people more than a whip. What Griffith can't stand the most is being questioned. Obviously he can't be wrong, why is he being questioned, why does no one understand his ideals?
Griffith didn't understand, so he was so angry that his teeth itched, gnashed his teeth, and drank blood. That feeling was so aggrieved. It was really more uncomfortable than being tortured.
Of course it was uncomfortable, because Griffith didn't do anything wrong. The reason why he felt wrong was because the world is an open system and everyone is exchanging information. When two subsystems are developing separately and one develops better and faster than the other, it doesn't mean that the slower development is wrong, but the other development is too good, that's all.
"It's a pity that Griffith is the one who can't accept the fact that there are people who are better than him." Guts looked at Griffith's aggrieved status in the crystal ball and pointed out the root cause of Griffith's discomfort, that is, he is narrow-minded.
Guts didn't know what to say. Griffith, such a terrible existence, was actually played with. Although it was relieving, was it really good to do so? "If you provoke him, no one knows what he will do. Griffith's dark side is darker than anyone else." He had experienced it, so he knew deeply that if Griffith was forced into a corner, he would definitely do something very extreme, such as the Eclipse.
"Don't worry, Duran knows his limits."
Guts suddenly felt that Griffith was a little pitiful after hearing this. What about the Hand of God? In front of some beings, the Hand of God is just a chess piece. Unknowingly, it was forced into a desperate situation, and there was no chance to resist at all. But thinking of what Griffith did, Guts couldn't help but clench his fists. Griffith was asking for this kind of targeting. If he hadn't thought about becoming a perfect savior and creating a fantasy world, he wouldn't have suffered such a blow.
Guts knew the other party's pride very well, and he also knew that Griffith's pride was being trampled on severely now. That kind of feeling was not much better than becoming a cripple. I'm afraid Griffith is on the verge of exploding. That's when I'm face to face with him. When they appear on the same battlefield again, they are no longer comrades, but opponents who will never stop fighting.
"I'm going back." He stopped looking at Griffith's ugly appearance and concentrated on training. He must fully master the berserk state to have the strength to fight Griffith.
This battle must be ended by him, for himself, for the Eagle Group, and for Casca. Casca is still afraid of Guts, because every time she gets close to Guts, the tragic memory of the Eclipse will emerge, the tragic death of her comrades, her own experience, and the demon fetus born from her and Griffith, will involuntarily appear in her mind, the surging demon tide, the helplessness and despair of being surrounded by monsters, and the insignificance of being a human being will involuntarily emerge and defeat Casca's heart.
It's not that Casca is not strong, but it's true that everyone will be like this when surrounded by helplessness, despair, and insignificance. So Guts also understands Casca and is willing to give her time.
