Chapter 352: You Are All My Treasures
Entropy increases?" The red-robed Faman, who had never heard of this word, looked confused.
"Yes, entropy increases, it is a natural phenomenon, and it is an ultimate evolutionary law. ”
Only then did Iggy slowly turn to his old friend, who had known each other for more than half a century, and there were many rare words:
"For example, if the laboratory is not cleaned up, it will become chaotic, if the tower spirit does not adjust the logic from time to time, the organizational structure of the kingdom will become bloated if the reform stops, the aristocratic officials will become corrupt and bureaucratic, the hot water that is left alone will slowly become cold, and the sun above our heads will continue to burn and decay until... All things are extinguished.
"All these phenomena can be explained by the law of entropy increase, because things are always moving in the direction of entropy increase, towards irregularity, towards disorder and chaos, and if you want to stop them, you have to act against the entropy increase, and this process can be very painful and anti-human.
"Life and individuality, self-discipline is always more difficult than laziness, giving up is always easier than persevering, and it is always easier to become bad than to become better.
"All living beings live in accordance with instinct, and intelligent beings also have desires, desires to eat, desires to mate, desires to learn, and desires to control everything.
"Obeying instincts and desires is very easy and comfortable, and I believe that, Fisher, you should be well aware of it. ”
Saying this, Iggy's eyes couldn't help but look at Fisher's upright belly, but the latter who was blushing quickly covered it, but that volume could not be covered by his two hands.
Looking back on these decades, he was indeed too self-indulgent.
Life was too comfortable, so that he gradually became more and more gluttonous, greedy for money and lustful, so that the sturdy body that had been digging for more than ten years had completely lost shape and gained weight more than once.
If you don't always think that you will face all kinds of punishments from the boss that make you want to cry without tears, you should at least do your job well every once in a while, otherwise according to his lazy nature, I am afraid that he will fall faster.
'I wasn't like this before!'
'It must be the Red Dragon Bloodline that has affected me. ’
Fischer didn't dare to say this.
I heard Iggy continue: "Indulgence is always too simple, but few exist to be able to exercise self-restraint, especially when they are in a high position, with few shackles and constraints, and this is where I sincerely admire the crown of Tibilius.
"Fischer, we Zelandia, are a city-state like never before, and we also have a lord who is completely different from other realms.
"He's a rare silver dragon, and Zelandia was born almost entirely on the basis of him.
"It can even be said that Zelandia is his appendage, and all the subjects of Zelandia are his dependents.
Unlike other rulers, Tiberius's life span was too long for most of his subjects.
"Maybe it's just a deep sleep, for some ordinary people, it's a lifetime.
This is the sorrow of short-lived species, their limited life, so that they can only see the rise and fall in just a hundred years, and in their short life, they try their best to absorb all resources and grow their family.
"In a way, they are all slaves of blood.
"If left unchecked, these earliest rising families will be like the bottle on the left without the addition of anti-demonization potions, like the malignant tumors in the living organism, without restrictions, and grow by instinctively absorbing all nutrients.
"The city-state will quickly become inactive, maybe in a hundred or two years, maybe a few hundred years, and then it will become fragile.
"Then a drought, a defeat, an inadvertent outbreak of a plague will cause the kingdom to decay and even die.
"The kingdom will perish, but these families of original sin can go into exile in order to rise or perish. ”
Speaking of this, the laboratory suddenly remembered a crisp click.
"Igna... Reagent bottles... The reagent bottle is going to crack!"
A cold sweat suddenly flowed from Fisher's big bald head.
He'd seen all sorts of 'rollover' scenes in the lab, and God knows what the hell was in Iggy's reagent bottle.
Once it explodes, the consequences are unimaginable.
I saw that the two test tubes in Igge's hands that had been demonized and reacted and seemed dead and silent were actually as Fei Sher said, and there was movement again.
The spellcasting materials that had become bloated with unknown materials seemed to have begun a final struggle, pouring out of the cracks.
The two fragmented spell-casting materials, in the dim laboratory, faintly glowed with a strange red glow.
Like a pair of eyes from the abyss, silently looking at the frightened Fisher.
At the same time, as if deaf to him, Eagle stared into his eyes and said quietly:
"That's why, under the crown of Tiberius, will put a shackle on Zelandia.
"Because life lives on negative entropy,
"And eventually...
"Towards extinction. ”
......
Just when Fischer was obedient to Iger's 'education' and broke out in a cold sweat.
Far away in the Temple of Fortune in the Second City, the priestess's gaffe exclamation:
"What? Gone? Didn't you already bribe the red-robed mage? Didn't you bring the news?"
The female pastor obviously did not expect that the foolproof invitations in the past would also fail.
For any merchant and master of a city-state, an invitation to the temple of the goddess of wealth often means the multiplication of wealth.
Devotees of this goddess of wealth traveled around the world, aiding merchants in their trading activities and serving the temples of Waujin in major cities.
The temple of wealth in Waujin is often also a local financing center, currency exchange center, consignment depository, and privately provided a conduit for the sale of stolen goods.
All activities are aimed at acquiring wealth and creating wealth.
Cooperation with the Temple of Fortune often means a win-win situation.
As a result, few people were able to turn down her invitation.
And under the offensive of money, few people can refuse this opportunity to get a windfall just by bringing news.
But now this fact is really in front of her.
Another female pastor, Li Erla, forced a smile and spread her hands:
"As you can see, the red-robed mage named Fischer has messed things up. ”
"Is he the blood of a pigman running through his veins? Can such a simple thing be done? What about the damn dragon?"
On the other hand, the gold-and-silver priestess looked a little mad.
It's like a big contract involving tens of millions of gold coins quietly slipped out of the palm of his hand.
"According to the feedback of the red-robed mage, their lord left directly after the meeting, and interestingly, he not only returned the previous bribe, but also vaguely reminded me not to ask him for such news in the future. ”
Looking at the rarely seen depressed look of her friend, Li Erla seemed extremely gloating, and continued to add fuel to the fire:
"This gamble is that you lost. ”
"Who lost! You didn't even agree to that gamble that day!"
The blonde priestess suddenly glared at her shameless sister like a fried Persian cat, then turned around and muttered to her thumb:
"Something is wrong, could it be that red-robed mage who has changed his sex? Damn, his guy must have been discovered, that's why he is so abnormal! In other words, in fact, that silver dragon has actually received my invitation, but pretended not to know to shirk it?"
"Hey, that's a possibility. ”
As if she had discovered a new world, her eyes widened slightly, "But why? ”
Just when the two idle 'priestesses' couldn't help but use prophecy out of curiosity, a believer stepped forward and got down on one knee and handed a letter to the blonde priestess:
"Your Majesty, this is the Declaration of the Establishment of the Free City-State and the Internal Document of Zelandia, which has just been promulgated. ”
The blonde priestess raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words 'Declaration of the Establishment of the Free City-State', and immediately sat down with her hands on her knees and tried her best to show her majesty.
Only then did he open the letter, and his eyes swept over the words, as if he had found his own answer, and suddenly showed a look of interest:
"A dragon city that took only a few decades to build, interesting.
"What's even more interesting is that a city-state that has risen by relying on industrial monopolies would actually implement such an anti-monopoly oligopoly policy within the city-state.
"Is this afraid that one day you will wake up and find that you have suddenly become the king of the dead country?
"I suddenly noticed that he was a little cute.
"Giggles, haha, hahahahaha!"
The blonde priestess seemed to laugh a little low, and her laughter trembled so much that she couldn't straighten up.
Although the Church of Fortune seems to disdain to use rumors, monopolies, and hired bandits to manipulate trade activities, and criticizes these methods, it secretly demands that pastors must use these methods in the most secretive way.
So that no one will suspect that these actions are related to the church.
"Accumulating one's own wealth" is seen as synonymous with "success" in the church.
Of course, the premise must be that the money is invested and not made by improper means.
It is precisely because they have secretly monopolized the trade activities of many industries and accumulated a large amount of wealth, so the temple of the goddess of wealth is almost the most magnificent of the gods.
His temples are almost always located in large, economically prosperous cities, and each temple is built in a different style, but it is all the same splendid from a towering cathedral to a typical ordinary temple with many columns.
The halls of the faith were made of the finest materials, and the ceilings, walls, columns, and floors were covered with the most lavish decorations, often in a complex and brightly coloured Baroque style, with precious metals and precious stones as far as possible to match the theme.
Because of this, after she saw the various actions of this silver dragon, it was as if...
I saw my own shadow.
"Hmph, then you're a perfect match!"
Li Erla on the side suddenly became a little sour when she saw her good girlfriend's eyes shining.
"Don't say that, no matter what, Li Erla, you are my favorite queen. ”
The blonde priest was obviously in a good mood, and it seemed that she had faintly overturned her previous speculations, and she was in the mood to flirt with her best friend.
"Who is your queen, do you have that organ?"
Li Erla's 'face was full of disgust' and pushed away the surging embrace of the female pastor, and a jingle of gold coins sounded.
"Hmph, isn't that a Transfiguration problem? Don't underestimate me. ”
The blonde priest opened her paws in a fierce eye, and made a joke with a look of 'if you are naughty again, I will eat you'.
"Nasty! Giggle, don't scratch, I was wrong, hmm..."
The two priestesses openly fought in the temple for a long time before they got up with their faces flushed and panting, and gathered their disheveled clothes and hair.
Only then did I have the leisure to look through another volume of the so-called "Zelandia Internal Documents".
It is said to be an internal document, but in fact it is already a semi-public internal newspaper.
Well... Newspaper, a publication founded in the city of Drawing Water by a lady named Vina.
Now it is spreading rapidly in the Northland and even in Am, and is spreading throughout the continent of Correll at a rapid rate.
The two female pastors looked at the temporary ordinances with a leisurely look at them, and at the same time they were full of criticism.
"All citizens of the Free City-State of Zeellandia have the right to propose, is he overestimating the quality of his own citizens?" said Liela with some surprise.
The blonde priestess sneered: "See clearly, it's the right to propose, not the right to vote, tsk, beautiful pie, that is, the final decision is still in their upper echelons or in the hands of the silver dragon?"
"That's not bad, at least if he wants to, at least some of the voices of the lower levels of the city-state can be heard by him. ”
But I don't know if this is what he really wants to do, or just to give the people at the bottom a ray of hope. ”
"What? He not only took the initiative to withdraw from Hoag Mining, but also divided the 'equity' of Hoag Mining? Is this still a dragon?"
"You know the! It's because he's a dragon that that's the best part of their city-state's internal reforms. He seems to have divided all his property, but in the eyes of the dragon, hehe, the entire city-state, the industry, and even all the people, are his!"
Saying this, the blonde priestess spread her hands and imitated the appearance of the dragon:
"That is, you are all my treasures. ”
"Huh... You... Why do you understand it so well? ”
After hearing such a domineering interpretation, Li Erla on the side was directly stunned!
There is still such a brazen dragon in the world!
They flipped through them one by one, until they found what they were looking for in an inconspicuous place in the back:
Article 27 of the Provisional Statute of Zeelandia:
All the people of the free city-state of Zeellandia have the right to freedom of belief, and no institution, group or individual of the city-state may compel the people to believe in a certain god or not to believe in a certain god, and shall not discriminate between those who have faith and those who do not believe in a god. The city-state protects all normal temple worship activities, and no one may use the name of faith to carry out activities that disrupt social order, harm the health of the people, or obstruct the education system.
"What? Not only did he not establish the main faith of the city-state, but he also dared to openly be the protector of the unbelievers?" said Liela with some surprise.
Seeing this, the blonde priestess smiled meaningfully:
"The unbeliever? I see that he is preparing for the future ignition, right?
"It's... What a big ambition. ”
