Chapter 2362 Righteousness
No one can be truly selfless. The more senior one is, the more they consider.
In order to save his son's life, Carter Horton will deliberately stage a drama of killing each other, and then use the words of Achilles to prove to the world that Carter Rodney is not on the magic airship, and finally in his With tacit consent, I successfully smuggled Carter Rodney and Carter Eva to Cyber City.
The Orc King would pretend not to know about my relationship with Cagalli, and specially met with me after my guild made a big splash in the Zephyr Contest, and issued an edict on the spot, appointing me as Prime Minister.
In the eyes of outsiders, they would think that the Beastman King is eager to love talents. In addition, his external personality is quite heroic. People will mistakenly think that it is because of his hot head, his sensibility dominates his reason, and he makes such a bold move. However, only the real people behind the scenes will know the reason - it is not an unwise move done because of the thirst for talents and the love for both, but it is really the selfishness of the emperor.
In order to get Bai Yunying to follow me and stay away from the quagmire of the Bai family and the royal family in York and Han City, Simmons Locke would not hesitate to use one-third of the annual output of ore as compensation for the coalition forces.
This is also the selfishness of the emperor. It is the selfishness of the emperor's great uncle to love and protect his grandniece.
Similarly, Master Dewey also has selfish motives, and his selfish motives are more than one aspect, but divided into two. The first is to verify the heirs of his family property, and the second is to hand over the family property and even the country to the hands of foreigners. Opponents of this behavior are dealt with.
In the words of Elder Mai Sonoda, that submarine accident was his final test for me. If my performance was unsatisfactory, he would immediately remove me from the list of heirs and even find ways to interfere with my marriage to Princess Aurora. However, the fact is that my behavior not only did not disappoint him, but also made him more determined to entrust the family property, Princess Aurora, and even the entire Fort Vicky to me.
Combining this piece of truth and recalling Master Dewey’s solemn and remorseful expression when I woke up, I suddenly understood.
It seems that it was an expression of emotion from the heart. He really felt guilty and afraid for that incident. If I did something bad because of it, he didn't even know how to face his heart.
It was precisely because of my outstanding response that he strengthened his confidence in eradicating all objections. The bloody purge that followed was not to purge traitors, but to purge the conservative forces in Veitchburg.
Let me tell you, why was the intensity of the purge so small? It only targeted the heads of the aristocracy, and not all of them were killed. Instead, they adopted a half-execution, half-pacification policy.
After learning the truth about all this, instead of blaming Master Dewey, I was very grateful to him, grateful for everything he did for me, and even more grateful for his trust in me.
Then, I was also very happy and happy that I passed that test. If I was like the group of officials around me, just watching the fun, it would be another story.
The warm golden sunshine shines on the sea of flowers, reflecting the stunning colorful light. After the garden dance elder nodded in approval, Beibei was like a happy deer, swooping into the flowers, picking flowers, admiring the dance of butterflies, and From time to time, I tease the hard-working bees and the resting dragonflies.
"With Master Dewey's full support, Xiaoyi, your future will be much easier."
"Maybe" I whispered, as if talking to myself.
After a few seconds of silence, I added: "You have to walk through it to know whether the road will be easy, and what I want to do most right now is to rescue Grandpa Taylor from Dashai City."
"This is not an easy thing," Elder Mai Sonoda said: "Elder Taylor was under house arrest on the pretext of national friendship. If you want to rescue him, you must either find a loophole, occupy the righteousness, and invite him back from the perspective of the country. , or use violence to destroy the old duke’s regime.”
"In the former, because the other party started too early, it already had all the public opinion and other trends in its hands. It was difficult to find loopholes. Even if you wanted to create loopholes and throw them to the other party, you would have to bear a lot of risks. If you are not careful, your reputation will be ruined. It will also affect the reputation of the entire country."
"The latter is even more likely to turn into a world war." Elder Mai Sonoda said in an extremely serious tone: "No matter what, Moonlight City cannot take the lead in launching a war."
"What happens to who starts the war first?" I asked.
"You will lose your righteousness. Once you lose your righteousness, there will be no way out."
We both fell silent.
Yes, once justice is lost, not only the country will fall into an unfavorable situation, but the entire elves and goblins will also be discriminated against and excluded by other races.
Unless the war is won.
However, with the current combat power of various countries, even Fort Vicky, which is known for its toughness, does not dare to claim victory.
After all, there are many conditions that restrict the war situation, such as climate, temperature, terrain, intelligence, morale, etc. As long as any one of the conditions is inferior to the opponent, there is a possibility of failure.
Think about it, even if he is as strong as the Dragon Clan, he will still be defeated by the Celestial Clan, and he will have to fake his death and retreat to the Dragon Clan's territory.
Although comparing the people of the Tian Clan with the people of the current Zephyr Continent, it feels a little unfair to the former, but I am just giving an example.
Of course, if Tyrannosaurus King Bakar stands next to me at this moment and solemnly declares to me: At this moment, I will fight side by side with you!
Without any hesitation, I will march eastward, go straight to Sai City, and chop off the old Duke's head.
If Tyrannosaurus King Bakkalken says this... everything depends on if.
However, there is no if.
My power is not enough to overthrow an empire.
Since you can't do that, just squint obediently, like a pet cat, squinting at the humans dangling in front of your eyes. As long as the humans don't take action, everything will be fine. If they dare to take action, don't blame me for showing my sharp claws and Fangs.
Fragrant biscuits and soft cakes were placed on the wooden table by the young and beautiful maids. The tea with honey exuded an elegant fragrance, tempting the greedy butterflies and disoriented bees.
Sitting opposite each other, they picked up a piece of refined biscuit the size of a fingernail and pouted, feeling a little tempted to laugh but also a little helpless.
This biscuit is so delicate and compact that it is too delicate to bear to be eaten. It is so small that it may have rolled down the esophagus and into the stomach before even tasting it.
But grabbing a few more pieces and throwing them into your mouth is very rude.
I glanced at Elder Mai Sonoda who was enjoying biscuits, and then glanced at Beibei who was staring at me with big eyes. In order to set a good example for the future flowers of Moonlight City, I endured it!
Using very standard eating etiquette, he put the biscuit to his mouth, sipped it, and began a long process of chewing slowly.
Beibei blinked her big eyes and looked at me for a long time. Suddenly she pouted her mouth, turned to Elder Sonoda Wu, and said coquettishly: "Grandma, Brother Xiaoyi looks so weird when he eats biscuits!"
"Well, it's very strange. Maybe this is the way of eating in his hometown. Come on, let's eat ours and leave him alone."
Me: ╥﹏╥
