Chapter 2874: The Art of Deception

"Feudalism is good, I like feudalism the most." Duran said that feudal society is good, feudal society is the best, and court struggles are more fun.

Brothers killing each other, brothers fighting, and troubles from within are commonplace. It is natural to kill your own family for power and the throne. Because you don't rebel, once suspicion is aroused, the person who dies is you. The power struggle is completely a zero-sum game.

It is said that the current King of Fire assassinated his father to take the throne. After all, there is no prince in the world who has been a prince for forty years. Since there are sons who kill their fathers, there are naturally sisters who kill their brothers. This is the drama of seizing the throne.

Three years ago, the prince was exiled because he spoke beyond his authority and contradicted his father at a military meeting. At that time, they discussed whether to use an army as bait to lure the enemy. Everyone present thought that this method was good. Although sacrifices were made, as long as they won in the end, everything would be worth it.

However, the young prince spoke out against this battle plan that used the lives of soldiers as bait, so he was burned on the face and exiled outside the border.

This is an opportunity for the princess, but her level is very low. After all, the prince is the one who receives the education of the orthodox heir, and the princess has not received any education. Although her talent for firebending is dozens of times stronger than her brother, she cannot become the king by firebending alone. In the end, the only thing the princess can do is to make achievements, hoping to surpass her brother in achievements and win the favor of her father. Of course, it would be good if she has the opportunity to kill her brother.

At this time, a new swordsmanship teacher came to the palace. To be honest, the princess sneered at swordsmanship. Although the Fire Nation is a great swordsmanship country and the world-famous Sword Saint is from the Fire Nation, this Sword Saint is unruly, arrogant, and has never accepted the royal family's solicitation. In her opinion, the Fire Nation is carrying out a great cause, so it does not welcome people like Sword Saints who are not used, even if they are very capable.

"Swordsmanship teacher?" The princess said that swordsmanship was useless: "I don't need to learn swordsmanship."

"I agree that the princess should receive some higher-end education to make her little brain smarter." Duran walked in directly, completely ignoring the guards around him.

"You?" The princess looked at Duran and found that Duran was very bold, and there was a sword hanging around his waist. Obviously, he was the new swordsmanship teacher. She was very upset. In her own palace, the other party was so disrespectful to her, it was really asking for death.

"I am the princess's swordsmanship teacher." Duran said.

"Then let me try your level first." The princess attacked directly. In the world of imperial arts, those who master imperial arts affect the operation of the country.

Of course, as a king, imperial arts are not necessary, and the selected talents are not necessarily imperial arts masters. But the ups and downs of imperial arts can affect the development of the family. Many wealthy families hope that their children can become imperial arts masters, because imperial arts are indeed a good way to make achievements.

Princess Azula is a genius in fire control. At the age of twelve, she has learned to control high-temperature blue flames and even mastered the highest level of lightning control, which can release lightning. This kind of talent is rare in a century. Unfortunately, God opened a window for her and closed a door to IQ.

"Too hasty." Facing the princess's attack, Duran calmly dodged the blue flames and counterattacked without unsheathing the sword, hitting the princess's flaws every time.

"Unable to advance or retreat." The scabbard was powerful, hitting the shoulders, waist, and back...

"Holding on to the shortcomings, stubborn, arrogant, and self-righteous..." Duran turned into an idiom expert and started to educate the princess. It can be said that he beat the princess without any ability to fight back.

The guards were all stunned, because this new teacher was too powerful. How could he make the genius princess unable to fight back? But they knew the princess's temper. After being defeated, the princess would not reflect on herself, but would be angry.

Azula was angry. She wanted to kill this man. The blue flame turned into blue lightning, which was more powerful and faster. This was a battle of geniuses. No one dared to underestimate her talent. As she made a move, lightning struck Duran along the extension of her arm.

Duran was calm and unsheathed his sword. He used the scabbard to resist the lightning. At the same time, he held the sword close to the princess. The cold blade was already on the princess' neck.

"If it was a real fight, you would have died." Duran said lightly.

When the guards saw Duran was so disrespectful, they immediately rushed up nervously. They dared not be careless, for fear that something would happen to the princess.

The scabbard had been shattered by lightning. Duran put the sword behind his back and looked at the unwilling princess and said, "No matter how many times you try, you will lose. If you don't believe it, come again."

The princess really didn't believe it and said angrily, "Back off, I can fight again!"

So the second round began. Of course, the ending was naturally Duran's victory. No matter what moves the princess used, Duran could win.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?" After nine rounds and nine losses, the princess finally asked, and she became curious about Duran's swordsmanship.

"Dugu Jiujian, if you want to learn, I can teach you." Duran said that he was an encyclopedia of martial arts and had a lot of martial arts in his belly.

"I'll learn." The princess was really convinced at this time, because she really couldn't beat him. It had been a long time since she met such a powerful opponent. But when she learned Duran's swordsmanship, she would definitely kill him. This is Azula's character. She has been moody before she became king.

When the scientists in the virtual conference room saw Duran running away to play, they felt sad for this imperial civilization. They knew very well what the consequences would be for a civilization that was targeted by Duran. Humans and dinosaurs are almost extinct, and Duran's toying with civilization has no bottom line. This civilization has just entered industry, and I don’t know what it will be like by Duran.

Thinking about it makes me feel pitiful. Duran's behavior is also a warning to mankind, that is, excessive intervention in civilization can easily destroy backward civilization, and it is easy to do bad things with good intentions. They did not doubt that Duran was a good person and had good intentions, but Duran always let things get out of hand in practice.

In fact, humans seem to be out of control, but for Duran, everything is under control.

Now that Dulan has become the princess's swordsmanship teacher, he has begun to promote his personal things. For example, if you want to be a good king, the most important thing is not combat power. Combat power can only obtain resources, but cannot allocate resources. The most important thing is to establish a distribution method that is accepted by everyone so that everyone can follow her.

The princess said that she just has no resources now. As the second daughter, the resources in her hands are pitiful. If she does not rely on force to compete for resources, how can she distribute them?

"If you establish a good distribution method, people will naturally support you. For example, if you agree to enfeoff all the land you have conquered and establish a state, then naturally powerful people will support you." Duran said that as long as the pie is large, If you draw it big and round enough, people will naturally come over and say: "The most important thing is to tell your own story, rather than following the rhythm of your father and brother. Your own story is the most important. If you continue Tell the story of your father and brother, why should others support you? Isn’t it better to tell the story that belongs only to you?”

Du Lan said that if you want to usurp the throne, you must have your own story, otherwise why would others support you?

The princess thought it made sense.
