Chapter 688: Hesitation
"Why?"
In the New Mig Fort, in the lavish dining room reserved for the royal family of the Entagri Empire, Morriel ignored the sumptuous dinner prepared by the halfling chef in front of him, and raised his own questions to Jian Chen about the matter of Tanan.
"At the moment, the truth of everything Tanan said is still undecided, even if you want to invite him to join the empire, you should wait until these things are concluded, right?"
Although she knew that Jian Chen would not mess around, Morriel still couldn't help but worry, and this incident happened so suddenly, she didn't understand why Jian Chen suddenly changed his opinion of Tanan.
"We don't have the means to effectively restrain Tanan," she reminded Chen.
This is also a fact, Tanan, who is immortal and has amazing abilities, is indeed difficult to control.
Acerena also looked at Jian Chen with a little worry, and Temp, who had just rushed back to have dinner with the three of them, was in a fog when he heard it, and didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked Acerena, and was a little surprised when he learned what happened.
Chen Jian didn't care, he was quite interested at this time, his appetite was even better, and he was eating happily.
"We really don't have any means to restrain Tanan, he is an immortal being, even so, we can't push him to our opposite" Lehehehe, looking at Moriel with an anxious face, Jian Chen said inarticulate while stuffing food into his mouth, his bad eating appearance made the royal head of the royal family who was standing on the side of Fowler look his eyelids jumped, "So shouldn't we pull him into our camp even more?" It's better to have one more powerful friend than one more terrible enemy."
"My idea is that instead of always guarding against him, it is better to try to make him have the same interests and goals as us, my intuition tells me that he did not deceive us, and even if he did, it was not malicious, he has survived for more than a thousand years, but he has always been outside the crowd, it can be seen that he has no ambitions, we don't really have to worry about what threat he will pose to our rule, of course, the key is that we have his approval, and what we do does not violate his moral code."
"In fact, we already have a common goal with him, he wants to promote the unification of the continent, promote the harmonious coexistence of various races, and maintain this situation for a long time, and this is exactly what we want to do and are doing, I believe that for a long time, this kind of thinking of Tanan will not change, and if this ideal situation can appear, it will only be good and not bad for our empire, even so, we have no reason not to cooperate with Tanan, right?"
Jian Chen's words made Moryl fall into deep thought, of course she could understand what Jian Chen meant, but Tanan's immortal body still made her jealous and couldn't let go.
Jian Chen understood what Moriel was thinking, in fact, he had been quite concerned about it before, but now, he had a different idea: "Don't worry too much about his immortal body, no matter what, his personal ability is limited, he can't complete the search for the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword alone, and he can't fight against the Entagri Empire on his own, as long as the hearts of the people are towards us, it will be difficult for him to do much, we should be careful ourselves, that is." And let him join the empire, on the contrary, it is more convenient for us to monitor him, which is safer than letting him stay out of our sight all the time, and we should not think about how to subdue him by force, or the same sentence, the battle of hearts is the best, as long as we try to make him recognize us from the bottom of our hearts, support us, his immortal body, but it is beneficial to us"
"You're very confident, I really don't understand where your confidence comes from" Morriel sighed, finally picked up the utensils and began to eat, "But I want to remind you that with Tanan's immortal body, coupled with his own ability, he can definitely occupy a high position in the empire for a long time, and in time, his influence will definitely exceed that of the royal family, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal."
Jian Chen said with a smile: "I have also thought about this problem, in fact, not only Tanan, but also the undead race will also have such a problem, as well as those races with a long lifespan, there will also be such a problem, so I decided to implement a new system in the empire and impose some hard restrictions on this, so as to avoid this situation."
"Oh? How? Moryl stopped moving again when she heard this, and Jian Chen's words attracted her interest.
Chen Jian waved the fork in his hand: "It's not a great idea, it's just to make some restrictions on the time of service, such as the generals in the army must be forced to retire after how many years of service, some specific races can't hold certain positions, etc., let's discuss it later, make a rough outline, and then hand it over to others to discuss and improve, speaking of which is still the matter of Tanan that reminded me, otherwise I really haven't thought about this matter, And I think that if Tanan is willing to accept my invitation, he will not oppose this system with his personality, so that the problem you are worried about can be alleviated to the greatest extent. ”
"That's a good idea, but won't it cause some people to be dissatisfied?" Morriel thought about it and was a little worried, but Jian Chen didn't care.
"Of course there will be dissatisfied people, but what does it matter, most of the people are on our side, the initiative is in our hands, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they have to accept it, just like when the lordship was abolished, and as the concept of racial equality slowly takes root in the hearts of the people, our approach will also be accepted by people, no matter which race, if you want to get along with other races, you will inevitably make some changes to yourself and pay a certain price, otherwise, everyone will do their own thing, regardless of the feelings of others, If we can't understand each other, how can we get along with each other? On this basis, as long as we can ensure that the introduction of each system can benefit a large number of people, then there is no big problem, because in this way, there will always be more people who support us than those who oppose us, and then try to eliminate the dissatisfaction of that small group of people, that is. ”
Looking at the confident Chen Jian, Morriel sighed secretly, and finally stopped pestering on the matter of Tanan, no matter what, this was a decision made by Chen Jian, although she didn't agree with it, she also chose to support it, because although she didn't have confidence in Tanan, she had confidence in Chen Jian.
So she turned the topic to the system that Chen Jian said: "Is it possible to realize the kind of system that you said can be adjusted by itself?" ”
"I don't know"
Jian Chen's answer was categorical and without hesitation, Moryl, who was putting a mouthful of soup into his mouth, almost choked because of this.
"Don't know?" She looked at Jian Chen with incredulous eyes.
Jian Chen nodded, and shrugged his shoulders again: "I really don't know, but it should have a certain feasibility, because theoretically it is feasible, but there is no precedent for this kind of before, and the various aspects involved are too wide, and the difficulty is definitely not small, so I am not too sure, I have to try it to know that I also came up with this idea suddenly, but I think it should not hurt to give it a try."
Morrill opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed heavily.
Seeing her appearance, Jian Chen couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to worry too much, I have my own measure in this matter, I won't mess around, and I want you to help me with my staff when the time comes, compared to this, I am more concerned about what Tanan said about the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tempe, "Tempe, have you read the literature, what do you think about this?" ”
Tempe, who was chewing and eating slowly, frowned slightly when he heard this: "Although there is no way to make a conclusion, but those documents don't look like forgeries, I personally tend that Tanan is telling the truth, but this matter is too unbelievable, and the records in the literature do not really explain the detailed principles why the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword are so dangerous, which makes it really hard for me to imagine, it is just two magic weapons, how can this world be destroyed?" Mr. Tren also felt that the literature might be exaggerated. ”
At this time, Esrena interjected: "But as far as Tanan said, everything in the Age of Miracles is unimaginable to us, I think the safer way is to believe it rather than believe it, at least try to verify it, after all, if this thing is true, and we do nothing, the consequences will be too serious, I don't want to die in a daze because of the destruction of the world one day."
Morrill said: "That being said, but at the moment our strategic layout is at a very critical moment, the existence of the First Fleet in the southern seas is of vital importance to our containment of the forces of the Erathia Empire and the Bracada Kingdom, and those portals that can be moved are also powerful weapons that we can rely on in the next military operations, if we want to take action, it is inevitable to use the First Fleet, and then disrupt the original strategic layout, if this matter is just Tanan's unfounded worries, Then we'll lose more than we gain."
Chen Jian listened quietly to the discussion of the three daughters, and he couldn't make a choice for a while.
Of course, this matter could not be ignored, because as Acerena said, the consequences of this matter were too serious, in fact, when Tanan brought back those documents, Chen Jian had already made up his mind to investigate the matter to the end.
But how to proceed with this matter is still debatable, because what Morriel said is not wrong, the current situation is really not suitable to use the First Fleet, but the Second Fleet is still being formed, and has not yet formed a combat force, and it is really a bit reluctant to go to Iceland Vorry to snatch the Ice Sword according to Tanan's plan.
Is it worth it to disrupt your overall layout for the sake of something that seems unlikely? A
