Section 602 Prologue
"Why?" Chen Xing asked naturally. He wanted to see if the other party was playing tricks or if he had real material.
"Dr. Akita, you have overlooked a very important factor." The sloppy man paused, his voice was calm and soft, making it easy to feel close, "That's the human heart." β
"Don't forget the fires in Raven City."
"Trilith is known for her brutality, but the people she kills are far less than the fire in Raven City. More than 10,000 people have died, millions have been displaced, and millions of families have been torn apart. β
"The memory of history may be silent, but it will never be forgotten."
"And Trilith killed mostly nobles, not ordinary people."
"Although there are not many people below who dare to talk about it, it doesn't mean that they are not disgusted."
"The righteousness of the world is where the hearts of the people are."
"Once you lose your righteousness, you will lose your heart."
"Therefore, for a long time in the future, the demon princess will inevitably throw a mouse trap and dare not make any more killings to make up for the mistakes she made before."
"The reason why she stayed in the Red Dragon Principality may not be without the intention of atonement."
"With a king, the Red Dragon will become the center of the north, and the economy will recover."
"If the demon princess doesn't make a move, just the Chiyan Mountain Range can give them a headache for a long time."
"If the two kingdoms of Silver Claw and Black Spear besiege Black Feather, and Chiyan blocks the Red Dragon's rescue, Black Feather will definitely be unbearable under the front and back attacks. And once Black Feather is defeated and surrenders, the morale of the Northern Alliance will definitely collapse, and the Weasel and Hanling will fall to the royalist camp, and the situation in the north will be critical. β
Akita nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "I have a question, why did the Red Dragon Grand Guild surrender to the Demon Princess?" If it is said that the third princess killed his younger brother Rosie Maris, then the revenge of burning Raven City is not revenge? Compared to the two, it is obvious that the latter is much larger. β
"Although it is rumored that their brothers have a good relationship, no matter how good they are, they can't compare to a modern metropolis, right?" Akita wondered.
"You're right!" The sloppy man patted Akita on the shoulder, "A modern metropolis is definitely worth more than a prince who may compete for the throne." Not only high, but much higher, like watermelon compared to sesame seeds. β
"But why did the Red Dragon Grand Guild submit to the Demon Princess?"
"That's because he doesn't have a choice."
"The Red Dragon Principality, which has lost its commercial metropolis, which accounts for one-third of the principality's annual output value, can only be reduced to a second-rate principality without a booster injection,"
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of anyone in a higher position. They have been in high positions for a long time, and it is not easy to look at problems. β
"On the surface, Trilith killed Count Rossi because she was in a bad mood, but in fact, she was there to intimidate the aristocratic circle."
"The Red Dragon Principality is one of the four largest principalities in the Ambergris River, and the Monitor Lizard City is known as the Third Imperial Capital. The Duchy of Tezera guards the southeast gate, it is not easy to start, the Duchy of the White Night is the empress's party, the Duchy of Xiaoyue is one of the five countries in the south, only the Duchy of the Red Dragon on the other side of the Dragon River has the least influence, so the target of killing chickens and monkeys chose Count Rossi. β
"Trilith wants to borrow the life of Count Rossi to tell everyone that the prince of the Grand Duchy, the younger brother of the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon, she can kill if she wants, and there is no one in the world that she dare not kill and cannot kill."
"If the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon doesn't accept the demon princess and is at odds with Trilis, then as a royalist, he must be the worst one."
"But if you take refuge in the past, Monitor Lizard City has a king-level seat, and it can even be upgraded to a level and become a veritable northern imperial capital."
"How do you know that?" Chen Xing suddenly asked. The other party was dressed sloppily, not like a person who had been in the aristocratic circle for a long time, how could he know all about these things? Does he have Sora's help as much as he does?
It was obviously impossible, so he was even more curious.
The sloppy man showed a mysterious smile, "I remember what I just said, I am a poet, a poet who wanders the world, occasionally drinks wine, writes two small poems, and talks about life. β
He took out a portable screen from his pocket and activated it for Chen Xing to see.
It was a social software, and many women's avatars were vibrating and there were quite a few missed messages.
The sloppy man clicked on one of them.
[dr2617-1-2, PM11:37, dear Lin Gongzi, we haven't chatted for a long time, if it's convenient, please come back to me......]
[dr2617-1-3, am3:12, oh, dear Lin Gongzi, how can you be so cruel and let a lonely woman who is physically and mentally exhausted face the long night alone......]
[dr2617-1-4, PM1:30, Lin Shiyuan, if you don't reply to my message, I'm going to block you!] ]
[dr2617-1-5, AM7:10, dear, I was wrong, I will never block you, please reply to me, and write me another touching love poem, okay, love you Lady Himora]
Between the lines, there is deep loneliness, loneliness is unbearable,
"She is the widow of the Count of Himora in the Duchy of Red San." The sloppy man introduced, and then clicked on a few more, all of them were obsessed and resentful aristocratic widows.
"I am a member of the Poetry Club, and occasionally I write two small poems to make the ladies laugh." The sloppy man introduced himself.
Chen Xing immediately understood, this was the other party's news channel. The ladies always love to be subservient and elegant, especially those widows who are widowed, who are lonely and unbearable, and engage in literature to express their feelings and pass the time.
These noblewomen were all powerful people of the Ambergris River, and when they chatted with them, they would inadvertently reveal a lot of useful information.
"Reacquaint yourself with it, I'm Chen Erliu." Chen Xing took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
Lin Shiyuan raised the empty wine glass, which was regarded as a salute.
Chen Xing laughed, and he didn't care either.
After a while, the waiter brought the beer, and the three of them touched each other with the bottles and drank it all.
"Brother Lin, are you interested in developing with me?" Chen Xing asked straight to the point.
"I don't care, just drink anyway, but you have to tell me what's going on over there." Lin Shiyuan said.
"I can't tell, why don't you go over and go shopping, Akita hasn't been to Orchid Town yet, it's good to know the way, we will drink in a floating boat, and we will be there soon." Chen Xing proposed.
Just after the harvest festival, the two happened to be fine and readily agreed.
So Chen Xing called the floating boat, and the three of them chatted while drinking, and flew north.
This Lin Shiyuan is also a wonderful person, profligate, unrestrained, knowledgeable, and funny. Although Chen Xing's identity is different from the past, he is still essentially a small person from the bottom, and he does not have too much aristocratic attention. It didn't take long for the two to get acquainted and talk about everything.
Akita didn't drink much, and he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Chen Xing and Lin Shiyuan drank together, chatting from night to day, from the general trend of the world to the perception of life, they all had a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other. It wasn't until noon the next day that the two fell asleep.
A few days later, the floatboat returned to Orchid Town. Chen Xing took the two of them to visit around, from Orchid Town to Zombie Paradise to the secret room that was being renovated to survive, and Chen Xing took them to meet the mayor of Beauty Town, Ambisi, and the mayor of Roast Duck Town, Bert.
Starting from the floating boat, Lin Shiyuan swept away the decadence, as if he had changed a person, his eyes were deep and bright, his conversation was elegant, polite, and he exuded a wise and calm atmosphere.
Mayor Ambisi and Mayor Bert were full of praise, saying that Chen Xing had a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger around him, and no one was simple.
After looking around, Chen Xing asked Lin Shiyuan, "The current situation is like this, I don't know what Brother Lin suggests?" β
"What kind of advice is Lord Chen asking, is it a suggestion to go out to fight for the world, or a suggestion to stay and develop?" Lin Shiyuan said slowly, "If we go out to fight for the world, then who can we turn to, and who do we plan to turn to?" If you stay behind for development, is it the development that has been left behind, or the development that waits for the opportunity? β
"To be honest, I have no plans to fight for the world for the time being. Now that the situation is uncertain, I have a little belongings, and I will be cannon fodder when I go out. Chen Xing said frankly.
"Well, a smart decision." Lin Shiyuan nodded in agreement.
"Well, if you're interested, stay and develop together." Chen Xing invited. Just relying on the other party's poetry and words, he is a talent wherever he puts it.
"I'm not particular about people, I can go anywhere, but you don't have a satellite network here, it's very inconvenient." Lin Shiyuan said. Without the Internet, he would not be able to chat with the noble widows and compose poems.
"You can temporarily live in Dragonstone Town, more than a thousand kilometers away from here." Chen Xing said.
"Why don't you get a satellite signal receiving station?" Akita interjected.
"I don't think I qualify." Chen Xing said.
"You can get a small receiving station and apply to the University of Foyongqi to connect to the network in the name of a scientific observatory. As a protΓ©gΓ© of the university on duty, this little privilege is still there. However, there should not be too many people who use it, otherwise it will cause conflicts. Akita said.
"It can still be like this!" Chen Xing was overjoyed. At present, the biggest problem in Orchid Town is that there is no network signal, and everything has to be solved in Longshi Town.
"I'll write a list of materials, you send someone to buy it back, I'll build it with you first, and then go back and find a scholar from Fo Yongqi University to apply for opening." Akita repeatedly emphasized that the fewer connected child ends the better.
"Okay!" Chen Xing said happily. Sure enough, he was a top student of Baita Academy, and he solved the problem that had been plaguing him for a long time at once.
For the next period of time, Chen Xing was busy building a signal station, and then chatted with Lin Shiyuan about future development.
And on the day the signal was opened, shocking news came from the other side of the Ambergris River.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the ruler of Ice Blue City, Maran XXII, passed away!
Even on the edge of the kingdom, Chen Xing felt the turmoil and the changes in heaven and earth.
The Red Kingdom was the world's largest power, and the king died.
The gears of fate slowly turned, and the reshuffle of the Ambergris River finally kicked off.
For years to come, the Ambergris River will be at war. A large number of lands have changed hands, the palace is full of blood, those who were once high have been driven out of power, pigs and dogs are inferior, and the hands that were once humble and lowly hold heavy power and dominate the world.
It was the worst of times, and the best of times.
Because everyone can shout: Princes and generals, rather there is a kind!
