Faced with this situation, he can make a choice to make a profit.

In fact, if you succeed, you will get a lot of benefits. It may be difficult to usurp the imperial power and rule the entire alliance, after all, there is a lack of prestige, and there will be great opposition from both the people and the nobility. However, he can take a step back and raise someone who is kind to him to become the new emperor, while he hides behind the scenes and uses his potential influence to manipulate the political situation and become a figure similar to the protector of the country.

This process could take years, and there are many risks, but once completed, it will be possible to mobilize the largest country on the continent to his advantage.

So, is it worth it?

He had asked himself seriously.

Secretly ruling the alliance indirectly is indeed a bit exciting, after all, almost most men, and even humans, have a desire to conquer. It is extremely intoxicating to let a country and countless people be manipulated by themselves, to be able to make various adjustments according to their own wishes, and to be sought after and revered by countless people—this is the poison of power.

He naturally has this desire, but in contrast, this desire succumbs to the exploration, research, and analysis of the truth of this world.

In his opinion, it is better to find out the truth of the world.

Only when the world is clarified can everything be meaningful, otherwise it will be nothing.

In addition, he has always been a researcher, just as Sauron said the truth: an assassin, the most unsuccessful time, is when he decides to become a warrior.

In the same way, as a researcher, when you decide to be a ruler, you are a little out of your heart.

Of course, this is not absolute—it does not mean that if you study something, you cannot establish an organization and manage your subordinates to rule in any way, but that you have to find out what the ultimate purpose of rule is—to rule for the sake of domination, or to rule for the sake of research?

If you rule for the sake of dominating, then stay, you can be satisfied.

If you rule for the sake of research, staying in Char and the alliance is not a good choice - the main reason is that the current water is too deep and too mixed, and it is too risky to participate, and even if you master it, it will involve too much energy to maintain the situation and cannot be used mainly for research.

Although the alliance has not been established for many years, some deep-rooted forces have developed and are bound to be unable to be completely eliminated, rather than trying to change in such an old system, it is better to start from scratch in a new place. Maybe it's a bit difficult in the early stage, but it's clean and simple, and you won't encounter all kinds of invisible resistance, and the most important thing is that every step of development can be done according to the plan.

All in all, there are two big options in front of him, each of which represents a very different direction for the future.

The first one is to stay, start the plot of "Protector of the Country", save the alliance from a series of unknown risks, and get a huge reward, but this reward is not necessarily what you want.

The second is to leave decisively, start the "start from scratch" plot, and start developing from a new area, there is not much return, but whatever you want, you can get it through hard work.

So......

Which one to choose?

Choosing the latter was his initial decision, and it was also the final decision after several fluctuations.

Leaving Char and heading to Sharin, he left the alliance chaotic and he could only develop in his fiefdom. When he finds out all the truth about the current world, he will free up his hands and slowly clean up the mess of the alliance.

When the time comes, Oscar's revenge will be avenged, and Oscar will find someone to repay the three promises he owes unkept. The organization that secretly manipulates the situation of the alliance, whether it is the remnants of the Truth Society, or other forces, will be cleaned up and the world will be cleaned.

Of course, in this process, the chaos of the alliance may continue to Shalin, or the alliance may be manipulated by the forces in the shadows, who do not want Shalin to develop quietly and try to make trouble.

If that's really the case, don't blame him for being polite, those who can't be killed will be exiled directly to outer space, and those who can be killed will be invited to come up with mass-manufactured nuclear weapons to have a good conversation with each other.

When the time comes, either world peace or world nuclear peace.

Choose one of the two, just choose one.

Of course, it's better not to do that...... Richard gathered his thoughts, having made all his decisions, walked over to the wall and reached out to ring a brass bell.

"Jingle bell!"

The brass bell rang, and within a few seconds, there was a knock on the door.

Ranko, the new servant who had left not long ago, walked in the door, glanced at Richard, and asked respectfully, "My lord, do you have any orders?"

"Prepare a carriage for me, and after dawn, I'm going to leave Char. Richard commanded.

"Leave Char after dawn?" the servant couldn't help but be surprised.

Richard said with certainty: "Yes." ”

"Uh, yes, got it. The servant didn't dare to say anything more, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded and went to handle it.

Soon, the night passed and the morning fell.

As soon as the eastern light was revealed, a carriage drove out of the reception area, then Char, and headed straight for the west.

......

About the same time.

Nagarjuna stepped on the whitefrost-stained bluestone ground and walked into a small courtyard.

There was a middle-aged man sweeping the ground in the small courtyard, and when he saw Nagarjuna, he nodded his head to say hello.

Nagarjuna nodded in response, then walked into the room.

This is a secret point of contact for the web, which has not been activated, so there are no spider web personnel, and is currently only a home for Nagarjuna. The so-called middle-aged man is just a hired cleaner who doesn't know anything. Therefore, the ignorant are fearless, and they just nod and greet Nagarjuna, a fourth-level wizard, otherwise they will salute in horror.

Nagarjuna didn't care about this, stepped into the bedroom, and reached out to pat Zong Hu, who was sitting on the wooden bed with his eyes closed.

Zong Hu opened his eyes, and when he saw Nagarjuna, he was surprised for a moment, and saw that Nagarjuna's clothes were neat and ruddy at this time, and he couldn't see yesterday's tragic scene at all. In comparison, he was much worse, and the bloody clothes on his body hadn't had time to be changed.

"What are you doing?" asked Zong Hu.

"I went to talk to the guy named Richard and saw if I could lie to him and avenge the adult. Nagarjuna replied without concealment.

"The result?" asked Zong Hu.

"It turns out that people are becoming more and more difficult to deceive now, and if we don't succeed, it seems that we can only work our own. "Nagarjuna.

"But why are you like this?" Zong Hu was still puzzled.

"Isn't it strange? I failed to deceive and was devastated, and in order to relieve my emotions, I went to the bathhouse and called a few female workers, helped me take a hot bath, and then changed into a new dress. When I was done, it was just dawn and I rushed back. ”

"Then what is in your hand?" Zong Hu looked at the things that Nagarjuna was carrying in his hand, and in a basket, there was a faint sound of food floating out.

"Oh, this one. Nagarjuna took out the contents of the basket and placed them on the table next to him, and saw that they were two hot loaves of bread.

Nagarjuna explained: "On the way back, I happened to run into the bakery opening and new bread was baked, so I bought two and prepared to come back and have breakfast with you. ”

Zonghu: "......" was silent for a while after hearing the words, and looked at his brother who didn't have any sad appearance with a deep frown, "Are you serious?"
