Chapter 293: Contemplation
"Everyone has to go through this step, this world is like this, gray, heavy, and powerless, that's why we are needed, you have read it many times in the book, the empire many years ago was much more terrifying than it is now." The Duke of Wald enlightened his daughter and took out that piece of history and said:
"All the strong have no constraints, you kill me, I will kill you, sects, forces, gate valves, it's everything, a person's life begins in killing, and then ends in killing."
"You can look at the biographies of people at that time, the empire collected all the records, words or runes, oh, yes, you should have read a lot, you see, what were people like back then?"
By the way, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!
"Everything is based on combat effectiveness, combat effectiveness is a way to measure all the value of a person, since childhood, they have to test their talents, compete in the ring, in order to become stronger, in order to break through the level at all costs, almost all fantasies are to encounter adventures, meet the legacy of the strong, and then break through and break through, tens of thousands of casualties in a battle, no one cares, they only care that the strong man wins, and the one who wins can get everything."
"The solution to the problem is to kill, and the person who kills the most will become the one who is admired by everyone, and the aftermath of the high-level combat professional is like a natural disaster, destroying everything, there is no law, and there is no order."
"Finally, the Founding Emperor and His Excellency the Immortal joined forces to end this situation, so, the empire now has enough order to speak of, the era of letting the strong be arbitrary and do things at will is over, Duke Harvey is only a level 5, but he can be on an equal footing with me, in the past, it is impossible for him to stand with me, but you and I cannot deny his ability to govern the territory, his financial resources are even stronger than mine, all this comes from order, without order, everything will collapse with a bang, There are tens of billions of people in the empire, which is dozens of times more than it was then. ”
"But it wasn't easy for us to get there, we sacrificed a lot, we gave up a lot, but in the end, it was all worth it." The Duke sighed as he recalled the past.
"But...... I remember they won with ease, two 10s, almost unbeatable. Sid wondered.
"Child, it's easy without war, no." The Duke said with a smile.
"So, we want to maintain this prosperity, you are doing a good job, I see that you are practicing the path of your predecessors, different from your brothers, you are maintaining order as much as possible, in the process of your adventure, I can see every day of your experience, I am very grateful." He reached out and stroked his daughter's hair.
"But Daddy, I think ...... It's not good enough now, I want to make it better. Sid took his father's hand, but looked down at his toes and muttered to himself.
"If that's what you're going to do, do it, I can see that you're getting better and better." Duke Wald stroked his daughter and smiled kindly.
"You see, it's only been a long time, you've exterminated seven den of thieves and robbers, you've rescued a lot of slaves, you've even set up your own legions, you've even set up your own legions, you've done more than those straw bales who claim to be knights, you're using your own strength to maintain order, and you've not even reached out to me for money, you've done it all on your own." The duke said to his daughter with satisfaction.
"What about your brothers? One is willing to fall, after being banished, set up a pirate group, burning, killing and looting, disrupting order, violating the law, if it weren't for him choosing to return to the army to reform himself, I don't even want him to come back, and the other, fighting for power and profit, pretending, only knows what it means to rely on your own strength, or only you are the most competitive, let me be the most satisfied. "The Duke of Wald was full of praise for his only daughter, as if she had done something big.
But in fact, Sid himself knew in his heart, was that a big deal?
Of course it can't be, she is also able to entangle a group of people with the help of the name of her family, and she doesn't understand the operation of the private armed army at all, it all relies on the wisdom and strength of others, and the role she plays......
I'm afraid that there is only what other people call "charisma".
Does she have charisma? She doesn't think so, most of it may be because of her appearance, after all, she is a half-elf, from a human point of view, she is indeed a beautiful and elegant beauty, if you change into a hollow dress that elves often wear, you can faintly see the skin underneath, it will be even more attractive.
In addition, she usually shows people in armor, charging ahead, and fighting bravely, the combination of the two charms can make most humans subconsciously have a better attitude towards her, and they can also get greater concessions in negotiations, and even, many people are just for her to join the corps, even when the enemy is captured, if she comes forward, the resistance she encounters will be the least.
Thinking of this, Sid couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was good-looking, so he had a "personality charm"? Just because it's good-looking, that's all?
Companions say that this is because of her personality charm, only she knows, this actually has nothing to do with personality charm, and is extremely superficial in nature.
Every time she thinks of her personality, she can't help but think back to the king of monsters she came into contact with several times.
When she first came into contact with her, this hateful monster completely teased her into applause, causing her to lose face and leave a psychological shadow for the rest of her life.
But later, she came into contact with the power of the King of Monsters, and also met the Great Mentor, as well as ...... Livia, who even did a lot of things in Star Maple King City, gradually understood a little bit of things.
After that, she wanted to save face, and came to Ann Luo with the ghost in the mirror.
When the other party said those words in front of her, in addition to being shocked, her biggest feeling was actually emptiness.
Sid almost thought that he was going to die at that time, because she had learned the other party's secret, and the most important thing for the other party to do was to kill his mouth, otherwise if the other party's plot was stabbed, I am afraid that all his hard work would be in vain.
But she didn't expect that the other party would let her go.
It's like ...... It's like knowing she won't do it.
She began to understand everything, walking around the lower echelons of the empire herself, her father liked her more and more, and she saw more and more clearly.
All things, she understood more and more why the king of monsters did this, and more and more she could understand the heavy pressure on the other party and the dark future he was facing.
Such a person, she thinks, can be called the four words of personality charm, and she just relies on her face and body.
She shook her head, threw the things out of her head, then looked at Duke Wald, and got down to business.
"Dad, this meeting, are you sure...... Let me participate too? I don't understand, no matter which brother is more qualified than me, they and you can represent the Wald family. Sid said nervously.
"Haha, who said you were going to represent the Walds? You represent yourself, good girl, and you are qualified to participate in such a meeting, not in the name of anyone, alone. The Duke smiled and said with relief.
"But what qualifications do I have?" Sid didn't understand.
"Of course qualified, have you forgotten? Those professional guilds can also have a quota to participate, these people are not so simple, the warrior guild, the adventurer's guild, the shadow thief guild, the high-level of these people will all attend, your corps is now a big force in the adventurer's guild, right? When the time comes, your president will take you there, and when the time comes, take a good look at it, and it will be a lesson that you will never forget. The Duke said to his daughter.
Of course, Sid's qualifications were not enough to join this meeting, but she was the Duke's daughter, and the Duke said hello, and the president of the Adventurers' Guild certainly understood what to do.
Besides, this is actually not a violation of the rules, after all, the corps formed by Sid is really not weak.
A large number of adventurers are willing to join in, the first is that the treatment is good enough, Sid is rich enough, she does not have the money of the Wald family, but her own pocket money, plus the adventurer's guild, and the operation of some capable people in her corps, plus undertaking commissions and doing things for the nobles, is enough to maintain the expenses of the entire corps.
Of course, this is still her credit, it is also another mercenary group, the nobles want to find someone to do things for themselves, at a glance, the leader here is a half-elf beauty, her mother is one of the leaders of the elf tribe, the Silver Leaf Lord, and her father is Duke Wald, a traditional nobleman, and the leader of the Conservative Party.
The other is the commander of an ordinary mud-legged regiment, who has been crawling for decades to get to this position.
There is no need to think about how to choose this, so the overall operation of the Corps is very gratifying.
"That's good...... I see, I'll be there too, but ...... Daddy, the king of monsters...... Will also participate, right? She asked tentatively.
"Of course, he will definitely come, he is not a peaceful guy, heh, a chaotic element who is bent on disrupting the order of the empire, but unfortunately he is still useful now, I know you have a grudge against him, but at the meeting, it is better not to show it,." The Duke sighed at the mention of Lu En, only hating that he could not kill this troublemaker with his own hands.
"Hmm...... I know. Sid picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite of it.
It tasted so good that it reminded her of her mother, and she didn't know when her mother would come back from the elf, but ...... Mom is an immortal, the concept of time is a bit abnormal, you can't force anything, I guess I talked to my uncle and aunt over there about the past, two or three months passed, and it was difficult to go back and ask someone to help.
She sighed and started talking to her dad about her family and stopped talking about work or anything.
Soon, the hearty laughter of Duke Wald could be heard from the balcony, and Nashya joined in the conversation, livening up the atmosphere and not being as serious as before.
——————————
However, unlike the warm family here, Lu En fell into deep thought.
He's trying to unite the monster tribes.
This is a move that has been planned for a long time, because the key to any real movement for social change is to unite as many people as possible, whether it is at the bottom, at the middle level, or at the top, to be a force for social change, especially at the bottom, because the change will bring tangible benefits and change to them.
But the problem is that there are some people who have been bought, they don't care about their class attributes, they don't care about their first attributes, and they choose to sell their companions for the sake of the petty profits in front of them.
The most important thing is that this group of people, they do not want to unite the majority of people, they think very highly of themselves, and they think that they can wait for the price to sell, because once there are more people, they will not be able to show their "advanced", "conscious" and "different".
If all the monsters were like them, they wouldn't be able to pack themselves up and sell them for a good price on the human side.
It's not like the Vulture Horse King who is forced to survive, they think they are right purely from the bottom of their hearts, and as long as they betray their people, then they will be rewarded, improve their current situation, and gain more power and benefits.
Lu En called this situation "a minion with a greater official position".
Or, "a watchdog that eats more dog food." ”
So, they're going to be very aggressive, and they're completely radical out of touch with reality.
I'm afraid they'll be able to blow up easily, and anything good that happens to the monster can bring their furious counterattack, full of angry emotions.
In particular, they are happy to let the misfortunes of other monsters, whether they are their own or heard of them, spread in various places, as if this will show the beauty of their current situation.
Lu En heard a lot about this situation, for example, at the beginning, when the Demon King City was destroyed, there were many monster tribes who celebrated each other and did their best to belittle it, thinking that the King of Monsters did not know how to lift up and deserved to be sanctioned, and he should have been like them a long time ago, surrendering to the empire and becoming the help of the empire.
