Chapter 127: The more you talk, the more chaotic it becomes

I don't know what kind of big game Duke Jackson is playing, and I don't know how many eyeliners he has planted on the island, but I know from his words that Sandro is definitely not the only one, and he knows a lot of things even if Sandro doesn't report to him, and such a person is so terrible that people can only stay away from him.

After chatting a little more, and the conversation between the two of us was coming to an end, Duke Jackson suddenly threw out the last topic, he looked at me and asked, "Do you know that Grace is about to leave Paradise Island?" ”

"Well, she told me that she was going back to deal with her mother's funeral."

"It's not just about dealing with her mother's funeral, she also has to find someone to marry as soon as possible."

"She also told me this, to tell you the truth, Lord Duke, I think the provisions of the imperial law in this area are really a bit nonsense, women's rights and interests are not protected at all, and a daughter can only inherit her father's estate through marriage, don't you think it's a little ridiculous?"

"It's not just the laws of the empire that stipulate this, but the empire of the entire Western world almost stipulates it like this, you and I are just ordinary people, and we have no ability to change the status quo."

"Ordinary people? The Duke is not an ordinary person, you can even abolish the slavery system, why can't this status quo be broken? ”

"You're thinking too simply." Duke Jackson took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "In the entire empire except for the queen, all women are vassals of men, although I am a duke, but I can't decide many things, if the abolition of slavery is not supported by the queen, do you think it is enough for me to open my mouth?" ”

On this point, I would like to believe Jackson's words, in ancient times, no matter what kind of social form, whether it was the West or the East, there was such a thing as male superiority and inferiority, but to a lesser or deeper extent. In addition to the distant primitive society, in the matriarchal society that exists and the history books, women can stand at the top of the food chain, in the rest of the historical process, women always live in the shadow of male power, as strong as Wu Zetian, the Empress Dowager Cixi is just a flash in the pan, until modern times, women's rights and interests are slowly protected, and the equality of men and women has truly become a reality.

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Duke Jackson coughed twice and continued: "Grace, this child I watched grow up, her father died in order to cover the retreat of the observation group, emotionally speaking, my heart has always been grateful, so I have been helping her to the best of my ability, but this time in the matter of inheritance, I really can't do anything, so I hope you can help her!" ”

"Shall I help her?" I looked at the duke incredulously and asked, "How can I help her?" Lord Duke, you don't want me to marry her, do you? Not to mention whether Grace is willing or not, I have already married Long Xin'er as my wife, and if I want to marry Grace again, it will not be bigamy! ”

"Bigamy? There is no such thing as bigamy in this world! Duke Jackson blurted out, but he immediately realized that there was something wrong with his statement, and quickly added: "Imperial law does not stipulate that marriage must be monogamous, on the contrary, according to the law, an adult citizen of the Empire can marry up to four wives." ”

Although Jackson explained very quickly, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't hide the fact that he had a problem! If it is a person who lives in this world, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no bigamy in this world!

"Even so, marriage is not a child's play after all, although I know Grace, I haven't even experienced the stage of boyfriend and girlfriend, and it is too hasty to jump to the stage of marriage all at once. And the Duke should also know that in addition to Long Xin'er, there are a few girls around me, although there is no clear relationship, but everyone understands the intentions, and it is really difficult for me for you to let me marry Grace. ”

"Han Dong, I don't know how you plan your life, if it were me, I would choose to marry Grace, you must know that once you marry Grace, it means that you will immediately have the status of a nobleman, and you can inherit a large amount of property, you can enjoy it for the rest of your life, why not? As for your girls, you can go and talk to them, if you marry them all, won't you have no worries about food and clothing? ”

The more Jackson said it, the more ridiculous it became, and I certainly couldn't agree to him, and in order to avoid any further inexplicability, I could only end the conversation with a statement that I was sure that I would not marry Grace.

After leaving Jackson's ship, I have been nervous, what is the origin of Duke Jackson? If, like us, he was not affected by the so-called transformation plan, then how did he achieve the position of duke? If he hadn't been influenced and should have guessed our true identity, then what did he mean by deliberately hiding it from us? How many people in this world have not been affected?

I couldn't figure out these questions after thinking about it, and suddenly a white light flashed in my head, just like Nima's Conan when he solved the case, I thought of a very terrifying possibility, could it be that everyone in this world was not affected by the transformation plan? Everyone knows their true identity, but they just think that the people around them have been transformed, so everyone is acting? It's like a scene in a science fiction movie, where a robot thinks it's the only one who is an alien, so he desperately disguises himself, only to find that the whole world is full of robots, but they all pretend to be human beings.

The more I thought about it, the more headaches I felt, and while walking towards the boulder camp, I carefully observed the expressions on the faces of passers-by who came and went.

Looking at a young man walking towards me, with a necklace around his neck and several partially overlapping metal rings on the chain, I suddenly took the initiative to walk up to him and said, "Dude, do you know about the Olympics?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment when I suddenly stopped him for questioning, and then said, "Of course I do." ”

"One question and one accurate?" I suddenly became excited, and then asked, "To tell you the truth, I also know about the Olympics." ”

"Neurotic! Who doesn't know about the Olympics? A hundred years ago, the British Empire was at war with the Spanish Empire, after the end of a major war, the British Empire achieved a great victory, in order to bring the news of victory back to the country as soon as possible, a soldier named O'Brien rushed back to the capital from the front line all the way without stopping, the news of the great victory made the people of the empire rejoice, but the soldier died of overwork, after the whole war, in order to commemorate O'Brien, the empire decided to hold a sports event every two years, including long-distance running, javelin and other events, The championship trophy in each event was named the O'Brien Cup in honor of the soldier, and because O'Brien was from the Imperial Olympic Town, the entire sporting event was named the Olympic Games, or simply the Olympic Games. "The young man was showing off to popularize with me, and at the same time looked at me proudly from time to time, his eyes full of contempt.

Nima's! This serious nonsense really has a nose and an eye, and if you take the origin story of the modern Olympic Games and change the name of a celebrity, it becomes a new story.

However, it is possible that these things are just this young man deliberately making up, and I continued to ask unwillingly, "I naturally know these, what I want to ask is do you know Coubertin?" You can think clearly before you answer me. “

"What's there to think about here? Baron de Coubertin is the Minister of Sports of the Reich and has won several O'Brien trophies, who in the whole Reich does not know? What the hell are you trying to ask? Don't waste my time, okay? “

The more I talked, the more nonsense became, and I took the initiative to get out of the way and let the young man leave, and my mind was a mess.
