Chapter 3667 Elders

As the saying goes, ‘Once a thief, always a thief’.

It does not mean that people who have committed a theft once will be thieves for the rest of their lives, but it does mean that people who have had the experience of stealing will be targeted as soon as there is a theft around them.

If the apostle is always good at charity and winning people's hearts, let alone the invaders approaching the city, even if the invaders really enter the city and even occupy the demon world, these demon people will unite as one and continue to cause trouble for the invaders, just in the hope that one day, they can Let the apostle return to the throne.

However, the above is just wishful thinking. After all, this is not a blue planet. The strength gap between ordinary residents and adventurers is as good as God's punishment. Even civilians who have mastered high-tech weapons are still not stronger adventurers. opponent.

It is simply wishful thinking to rely on the number of people to attend the ceremony.

Perhaps because of this, the apostle never regarded ordinary humans as human beings, only as ants or tools.

Speaking of which, the situations in the Zephyr Continent and the Demon Realm are similar.

The attitude of the royal family and aristocrats of Zephyr Continent towards civilians who are not adventurers is that most of the time they just treat them as tools. There may be a small group of people who treat civilians as human beings, but when they get along with each other, In the process, a condescending attitude may also be revealed unconsciously.

There are even some places, such as Airui City, where the attitude towards the poor is comparable to the attitude towards the poor in the worst lawless places in the Demon Realm.

Thinking of these, I can't help but sigh: It's hard to prosper the people, and it's hard to destroy the people.

I sigh, but since the demon world has not fallen into the most critical moment, there is no point in me going to the demon world to help.

After all, it is not my hometown, nor is it my main battlefield. There are so many apostles stationed there, so there can be no chaos for the time being.

Ever since, with my constant comfort, Heloise's attitude finally softened a lot.

The matter of Heloise was put aside.

After the tomb robbing operation was over, I started going to the dungeon again to raise monsters.

Under the constant attacks every day, we have gradually become accustomed to fighting against the demonized lizards, and have mastered many essentials.

As we have mastered more and more monster spawning skills, our progress in conquering the demonized lizards has become smoother. Almost every day, we are able to kill a huge number of demonized lizards.

In contrast, we gained more and more experience, and soon we reached the critical value of the experience bar. After a battle with an elite demonized lizard, or in other words, an earth-walking dragon, I level, successfully broke through the fourteenth level, and was finally able to step into the threshold of national power in terms of level.

However, when I stepped into the threshold of national strength, I never received an invitation letter from the national strength organization.

I feel quite disappointed about this.

Master Dewey noticed my annoyance, and after asking the reason, he said with a smile: "If you really want to join the national power organization, you can do so anytime, anywhere, but if you want them to send you an invitation letter, you can't. possible."

"Why?" I asked in confusion: "My level has reached the standard, my strength is there, and everything meets the requirements. Why don't you send me an invitation letter?"

"Because of your identity," Master Dewey said with a smile.

"Identity?" I wondered: "What does this identity have to do with it?"

"Do you know why countries build national power?" Master Dewey asked.

"Isn't this a way to gather strong men to fight for the country?"

"That's just righteousness." Master Dewey shook his head and said, "The real reason is not here."

"what is that?"

"Concentrated detention."

"W-what?"

"Concentrated detention," Master Dewey explained, "is to gather strong adventurers and detain them in one place."

"That is why ah?"

"Xiaoyi" Master Dewey asked softly: "Let me ask you, what is the most important thing for those adventurers with strong strength?"

"Money," I blurted out, "After all, you can travel a thousand miles with money, but you can't travel even an inch without money."

"Money." Master Dewey nodded and agreed: "Indeed, for adventurers, money is very important, but..."

Listening to his long voice, you knew there must be something more to it, so he complimented him and said, "It's just what?"

"Do you think a strong adventurer will really be troubled by money problems?"

"Absolutely," I said, "after all, the stronger the strength, the greater the demand."

"You are confusing strength with status," Master Dewey said helplessly. "It should be said that the higher the status, the greater the demand. There is no direct relationship between strength and demand."

".That's it, then I don't know."

"It's freedom."

Master Dewey said: "What a truly powerful adventurer needs most urgently is freedom."

"However, if they are powerful, they will not be able to feel at ease if they are not controlled by centralized power. You should also understand this, right?"

I thought about it carefully, and then I thought of the time I lived in Moonlight City.

As long as I was brought into centralization of power at that time, and the state power organization was brought into the strong role, and I thought about the contradiction between me and the state power, and the difficulties the state power made to me, I would be able to roughly understand that I am not subject to the central government. How much trouble will a centralized power bring to the central government?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

"So, the National Power Organization will issue notices to adventurers who meet the standard of strength, inviting them to go to the National Power Organization and accept the assessment. Once they meet the standard, they will be trapped in the National Power Organization and become one of them, is that right? "

"Then even though I met the standard, because my status was too high, it was beyond their control, so they gave up control on me?"

"It's not about giving up," Master Dewey said, "but you can't put the cart before the horse. You must keep in mind that in Fort Vicky, you are the king and they are the ministers. The ministers are never qualified and will never be allowed to control the monarch. As a monarch, You will never allow the evidence to be passed into the hands of your ministers. Once you discover that the other party is putting the cart before the horse, don't care about the other party's identity or status, let alone whether the other party is useful to you, kill them all!"

Master Dewey's tone was very serious, which made me a little panicked.

Although this is not the first time I have faced such a serious Master Dewey, no matter how many times I have faced him, I have always been afraid of Master Dewey's serious attitude.

That night, when I got home, I asked Odachi why I had this feeling of panic.

Odachi chuckled and explained the reason: "Because you regard Master Dewey as a family member and a real elder, your momentum will be lowered unconsciously."
