Chapter 160: The Cold World of the Reborn (Medium) [Reward for the Immortals in the Mortal Dust]
"Have I been born again for the third time? By the grace of God, I have been born again for the third time in 1274, God, did you give me a third chance to save Alphonci?"
"No one can travel back in time, no one can, even among the gods, it is a forbidden act, don't think about it. ”
"But, but the gods, I'm not ...... now."
"Do you think you've been born again? No, no, you just happen to have two memories, two dreams, and as for these two dreams to be so real, it's just a coincidence. In addition, Ai Fengqi will inevitably lose Mao Su in this war, which is already a doomed thing, and no one can change it. ”
"In the second dream, I saw signs of the gods' meddling, even though you were careful! Why is that?"
"Watch your tone, Efonki. Yes, the reason for your defeat is not because of the strength of your country, but because you believe in the god of the sea - yes, you believe in the god of the river, but you know and understand the existence of the god of the sea, right? Although the god of the sea is not here. So, some guys stretch their hands so long that the others are going to band together to cut off their hands, so ah, Efonchi is going to fail, understand?"
"I'm sorry, but ...... We failed only because of ...... The gods we believe in? This is not fair......"
"So I'm giving you a chance, twice. ”
"What's the use of that! No matter how good I do, the gods will always intervene! It's an unfair battle!"
"I'm telling you, watch your tone! There is no absolute fairness in the world! What you have to do is not to look for fairness, but to seek the possibility of victory under the rules of the game! You can't complain, you can't reveal what you know to others, you can only go on your own - or give up, let history go back on track, and let your family continue to sink. ”
With the aftermath of the God of the Slash, Lesono woke up from his dream once more, sweat soaking through his clothes.
It wasn't a pleasant night, the nightmare kept repeating, the mysterious god of the world, and the two mysterious memories, the repeated nightmare told Lessono that what the other party said was true.
Feeling a little thirsty, Lessono, who had not yet recovered from the memory of the previous life, habitually clapped his hands, and when he heard the voice, the old man immediately rushed out of the side room and asked Lesono what he wanted.
"Forget it, I'll pour a glass of water myself, old man, it's better for you to be optimistic about the boat, this is more important, I'll pour a glass of water for such a trivial matter. ”
With that, Lesono walked to the table with exaggerated steps and poured himself a glass of cold water. In late autumn, it is not a good pleasure to have cold water, and Lesono was a little shivering from the cold, so he had to drive his spiritual power to warm himself up.
God's rules? God's rules are going to make my Efonci doomed to be swallowed up by Fenno? Are they going to doom me to be displaced? If Efonci's downfall is because Efonci himself is inferior to Fenno, I will admit it, but it's because of the gods!
Calm down, Lesono, calm down, think about what you want to do.
The god of the slash said, first, this is my last chance, and second, I can do some small things with the permission of the gods.
I also understand the failure of my previous life, and now I understand that it is because after crossing the river (the Aiphonqi people turned the sea to the south into a great river), they still remember to recover their homeland, and successfully recover some ports near the river.
So this time I should ......
Also, is it time to go back, to save my father's business...... Cut, do you want to go to the cold-blooded devil who only likes his career and doesn't care about his son at all?
Well, this man is the best springboard for me to get power, and I have to help him.
———— a few days later, Afonge was located in Isanna, the largest city in the southern part of Magau Island.
"O Lord Benshome, I heard the sad news the other day that your son Lessono was attacked by an unknown person and disappeared while returning from a boat voyage on the Jinwei River, and that is not good news, is it?"
In the face of this ill-intentioned concern, the bronze face of Lessono's father, the head of Ishanwa's foreign trade, and the chief of Ishanwa's foreign trade, Benshom, was unfazed.
"Then you don't have to bother with Your Excellency Tesu," Ben Shum said coldly, ignoring Tesu, and walked straight into the meeting hall.
Isantia is located in the south of Mosu Island, and its own port location is not good, but because of the early development, coupled with the fact that the ports in other places are just as bad, it is better to continue to use the earliest Ishanwa than to spend money on the development of other ports, so the port of Isanna is not a good area, and it has become the most important port in the south of Afonci, connecting the vast southern region to the center and the colonies of Middle-earth, which is also the place where Lesono was born.
However, with the arrival of the Saint's ancestor, May, who led the Afonchi and the Fenno to come into contact, Ishanda began to change, and the main objects of trade were not only the Middle-earth colonies, but also Fenno.
As a result, the power of those who traded with Fenno within Ishanwa gradually grew.
More than ten years ago, a major event happened, through a barbarian tribe with the Ainin people as guides, the Finno people of Durrant successfully discovered a second way to communicate with Aifunki, that is, the Durrant-Ishanwa route.
When the Durrant-Issanda trade route was opened, the Goethe family's chief of foreign trade was Benschume's uncle, a man who had no vision and was hesitant, if he could be a man of success, but in this era of great changes in Fenno, it was really bad luck to have such a leader.
In his hesitation, the trade errand for Durrant had already been peached, and the illegitimate son of a great nobleman from the capital of Babwe, that is, Tesu's father, had successfully obtained a position from the central government, that is, the chief of trade with Fenno was separated from the post of chief of foreign trade, and he specialized in trading with Fenno.
Since then, due to the similarity of some of Fenno's trade goods to the colony, the two sides clashed, and the Goethes had a strong rival in their trade, suffering heavy losses.
Benshom took advantage of this incident to successfully get his uncle to resign.
Since then, he has been the representative of the Goethe family in commercial trade, competing with the lackeys of Fenno, the Tesu gang, relying on the advantage of the Goethe family in Isanwa for a long time, in the early collisions between the two sides, all ended in Benshom's victory.
Over the years, however, things have become more and more wrong, and Finno has become more and more aggressive, constantly building cities into Afonci's territory, and many people are uneasy about Finno's expansion, and as the representative of those people, he often proposes some extreme anti-Fenno initiatives in meetings.
Therefore, it is difficult to say that Fenno chooses the person they hate the most, but if the scope is narrowed down to Isannah, Benshom is undoubtedly at the top of Fenno's hatred version.
Yes, this is why Lesono has a dislike for Benshim, a man who cares only about his own power and not in the slightest about his own unsuccessful son.
Lesono bets that Benshom must have been assigned some tasks by someone else before kicking Lesono to Dubei to study, using his life as his political capital. After all, Lesono is the son of Ben Shum, and if this nature is changed to the earth, it is equivalent to letting the descendants of Ito Hirobumi come to study in his country.
So from the middle of the second life, Lessono realized that his father, he had no feelings for him at all.
Since the beginning of the past few years, Finno's situation has continued to deteriorate, and it is a problem that can be seen by everyone, Fenno often sends people to test the border, but unfortunately, Afonci Central shows incredible obtuseness here.
A few days ago, there was an incident that made Ben Shum feel bad, and some people led by Tesu gave full play to their divergent thinking, linking the incident of Lessono transferring to the academy after hurting people with several of his own proposals during that time, so as to show that they had intentions and were not good for Ishanwa.
After filing a complaint, they even directly demanded that the meeting remove them, which was the first time that the Tesu gang had torn their faces in this way.
In the past, when it came to the replacement of the duties and responsibilities of the foreign trade chief, the central government had to approve it, but a few days ago, Fenno had a conflict with Ai Fengqi at the border, and the central government was in a mess, and finally ordered to try it independently on its own first, and it was enough to leave it to the central government to decide.
After this order was issued, in order to deal with this bureau, before the meeting began to be tried, Ben Shum and Tesu were calculating each other, and now they are finally at the point of exhaustion.
However, in the calculations before the meeting began, Benshom fell behind, which led to a passage where Lesono had to appear in court in order for Benshom to come up with a follow-up material to refute it, which could bring down the other party's material - since the two sides had already torn their faces, then don't worry too much.
But this change had happened only a few days earlier, and it had happened so quickly that Benshum was caught off guard. Previously, Lesono only had the possibility of coming back, because the meeting was for Lesono's appearance in court or not, so Ben Xium's tone of message to Lesono was relatively mild, and if Lesono was not reborn, he might not come back because of the troubles of the journey.
Luckily, in the last oral debriefing, Lesono chose to return, and unfortunately, the whole city now knows that Lesono has been missing after an unknown attack on his way home.
"So, only His Excellency Lesono Benshom Issanda Goethe can prove that this material is inaccurate?" said the ruler of Issanwa, the judge of this council, in response to this message.
"Yes," said Tesso, smug in front of the others, smug and boastful, but he looked like a dog now, "but our poor Lord Lesono has died on the river Tinwei, oh, allow me to leave a few tears in the court." ”
At the end of the day, Tesu had already made a cry, but the degree of hypocrisy of this cry was easy for even a child to recognize.
"Put away your fake crying, even in the news, I'm just missing, how did it get into your mouth and become death?"
An unbelievable voice suddenly appeared in Tesu's ears, and Tesu looked at the source of the sound in disbelief, a young man was coming out of the door and striding towards the center of the venue.
"How did you get here!"
Looking at this traitor in his previous life leading the way, Lesono, who walked to the predetermined position, showed an infiltrating smile: "I got off the ship early in the middle of the night, after all, it is better to be cautious." ”
"Lesono, you've grown up. ”
Hearing the cold-blooded beast's praise for himself, Lesono turned to Benshum without showing any anger: "Yes father, I grew up. ”
It's a cold world, it's an inherently unfair world, and if I don't want Efonch to sink like in a dream, I'm going to become a cold-blooded beast like my father.
