Chapter 49: Afternoon Rest and Reverie

Are there three paths?

After receiving the envoys who visited the Xiangyu Sect, Lorraine Hill sat on a big tree in the back mountain, looking at the scenery down the mountain, thinking quietly.

The afternoon sun is very bright, and through the shade of the leaves, it feels warm on the body. This place is not far from the main hall on the top of the mountain, but few people come here. It is a place suitable for relaxing and taking a nap.

Leaning on the tree branch, Lorraine Hill felt a little sleepy, but it seemed that he could survive without sleeping.

Let's think about business, she said to herself in her heart.

After meeting Senior Sister Jinhua this morning, the other party asked Lorraine Hill what kind of path he wanted to take in the future to end the world, but Lorraine Hill did not answer at that time.

Life is not like studying for an exam or something. There must be an answer, and there is no such thing as necessarily correct.

To be honest, Lorraine Hill doesn't really want to be like Chifeng, especially after learning a lot about the past from Jinhua.

In fact, when the emperor was still young, he had a very good relationship with Chifeng. At that time, Chifeng rarely had the thought to teach this unfavorable prince, and for a long time, he also lived in Yuzhang Mountain.

But even with such a close relationship, the emperor finally chose to imprison Chifeng.

When hearing such things at first, people will definitely not understand and be surprised, but after listening to Jinhua talk about other things, Lorraine Hill generally understands why the emperor chose this way in the end.

If there hadn't been that heaven and earth change, perhaps the relationship between Chifeng and the Son of Heaven would have lasted forever, with harmony, respect, love, etc., but when the Son of Heaven had the opportunity to jump out of this inevitable relationship, he didn't hesitate at all.

Some relationships are destined not to last, and the emperor does not want to be the child who is taken care of forever.

Being taken care of sounds like a good thing, but why there are always many children quarreling with their parents is ultimately a matter of freedom. When all your actions are done under the manipulation or command of the other party, even if this thing is correct, after a long time, you will get bored again.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, and he could just leave home when he became an adult, but the emperor was different. From prince to enthronement, from ignorance to ruling the world, although his power had almost reached its peak, he was still shrouded in the desperate shadow of Chifeng.

The lifespan of the phoenix is ​​unknown, and he came and established this dynasty before he was born. He is destined to be unable to surpass those ancestors, and he cannot even get rid of the dynasty's dependence on Chifeng.

After becoming the emperor, the compliments of his officials and the use of power made his desire and ambition continue to expand, but Chifeng restrained him like an invisible cage.

Even though he understands that this cage is protecting him and correcting him, but this kind of protection and correction is lingering, and he will never be able to get rid of it, and he will never be able to stand at the same height as Chifeng. Gradually, this relationship has become torture.

Excessive spoiling creates hatred, which eventually leads to tragedy.

Let go when it's time to let go, too much will be annoying.

Lorraine Hill raised her head, stretched out her hand and picked off a tender green leaf, pinched it in her hand, and then pinched the leaf again. The faint grass fragrance was emitted from the deep green indentation, and the tip of her nose sniffed it lightly. She let go of the leaf again and watched it blowing down in the breeze, swinging slowly between the valleys, and drifting towards the bright sunshine.

It was already summer, and the distant mountains and forests were dazzling in the sun, and there was a cicada's cry, which was very cheerful, but far away, and not noisy. Occasionally, there was the sound of leaves shaking in my ears, and the sparse tree shadows under me were also shaking slightly in the mottled.

Since you don't want to be Chifeng, then learn Caihua.

If there hadn't been the coming disaster, Lorraine Hill thought to himself, he would probably be like Caihua, and after dealing with some big things, he would settle down in the mountains of the Yellow Sea to rest.

The separation and reunion of a country is like the birth, old age, sickness and death of a person. It is unavoidable to change constantly, and this is the only way I can do it.

But... I'm still a little worried.

While thinking about it, Lorraine Hill picked off a leaf again. This leaf was a little yellow, although it was very tender, but judging from the appearance of the petiole breaking when touched, it should have been unable to absorb water for a long time.

The pale yellow leaves feel a little cool to the touch, but the surface is still relatively soft, like a thin layer of wax. After tearing, there is no fragrance of sap, only the leaf veins are exposed. Maybe it is because of the lack of water, or it may be because the growth time of this piece is longer. Its veins are a little tougher than the previous young leaves, and the light yellow fibers can be clearly seen after tearing.

It is impossible for him to let go of the East Continent, at least not yet.

Letting go is a matter for the future, at least let's talk about getting out of the earth first.

Like the phoenix witch Caihua back then, sitting under the fire sycamore tree, Lorraine Hill still can't do it now.

Then there is the last option left, but this option is not very good.

It's not that being a good emperor will be tiring, but that Lorraine Hill is afraid that by doing so, he will set an example for future generations, and that the East will not be able to get out of the vortex of the monarchy system in the future.

Originally, the Plantagenet Dynasty had been passed down for hundreds of years, and this kind of thinking was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If I take over and continue like this, I am afraid that I will never be able to change it.

Sure enough, politics is a very troublesome thing, especially in the uncivilized era, some concepts are even more difficult to shake.

Lorraine Hill let go of his hand, and the fragments of the light yellow leaves in his hand also fell in the wind, floating towards the distant mountains.

I really want to fast forward the time and play the same game as before

In just a few years, the concept of the country and the people will be transformed for you, and you will embark on a road that you have never imagined, Lorraine Hill leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes for a rest, thinking in his heart.

It is a pity that reality is not a game. Even if there are brand-new concepts and systems, but there is not enough class population, some laws and policies still cannot be adopted.

Technology industry, production methods, and social systems all complement each other. In the eastern dynasty dominated by agriculture, the power of tradition is exceptionally strong. Even if the number of extraordinary people is far greater than that of the Western Continent, this concept will not change.

So, do we still have to do construction in the end? Lorraine Hill slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and shook off some drowsiness.

It seems inevitable.

But this time, maybe a completely different technology tree will be pointed out.

Thinking back to the dragon boat design drawn by the disciples of the Xiangyu School a month ago, a strange aesthetic feeling that combines simplicity and modern technology emerged, which made Lorraine Hill seem to see a development path that was completely different from past memories and history.

The secret cave of the Eastern Continent, as well as many monsters and extraordinary plants, have brought materials with properties far superior to ordinary materials, and the materials have also changed many design ideas, coupled with the many directions brought by extraordinary skills, things that were unimaginable in the past, just appear in this world.

Thinking of this, some expectations suddenly rose in Lorraine Hill's heart, maybe there is no need to worry about it, life will spontaneously find a way to live, and this brand new world will definitely give birth to things that did not exist before.
