"Prophecy ......"

Evan picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, revealing a questioning look:

"Those guardians who have not seen the light of day all year round have less understanding of the outside world than we do, what credibility do they have in their so-called prophecies?"

He was almost confused just now, mistakenly thinking that he had spent this time in the whole process of tracking and surveillance, and after stabilizing his mind a little with tea, he quickly realized that there must be more than one guardian in a country like Menes, and it is not surprising that the other party knows about the prophecy through other channels.

In a way, they are as ignorant as people who stay at home. ”

Eru Lomei looked down at the desktop, her gaze gradually blurred:

But having information is not the same as mastering the truth, and some laws can be calculated by formulas, just like the regular flooding of holy rivers. ”

"So, the end of the world can still be calculated!?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ivan eyes, as if the ripples of water on the surface of a calm lake had occasionally opened, and it did not make any waves, and he quickly regained his calm.

At this moment, he thought of the doomsday prophecies of the Mayan gods in his previous life, and they seemed to use the method of calculation to calculate that the world would come to an end on the day of 2012. At first, it scared a lot of people, but later it turned out that it was all just a joke.

She noticed the look in the other party's eyes, did not answer, and tapped her face with her delicate and slender fingertips, and suddenly asked:

"Evan, don't you believe in God?"

“......”

Ivan fell silent in the other party's intriguing eyes.

At this time, his heart was full of confusion, and in the past, as a staunch materialist, he would rightly shake his head in denial, and secretly despise those stupid idealists.

However, the Sun Sutra, the Holy Book of Hades, the Guardian of the Temple, and the Pure Land of Bliss, these are all things that have been seen with one's own eyes and confirmed with one's own hands—how can it be denied?

Materialism is not simply a denial of God, but its most crucial point is that 'everything proceeds from reality and seeks truth from facts'! That is to say, if there is a God in the world, materialists will definitely accept it, but they will not obey it like believers.

"I believe in the existence of God and respect our ancestors. After careful consideration, he replied with a pun - as a descendant of the sun god Atum, respecting ancestors is respecting the gods, and there is nothing wrong with it.

What an unexpected answer. ”

Eru Lomme pursed her lips and chuckled, neither affirming nor denying, and continued with his previous words:

"I believe in the Guardians because their prophecies do not come from themselves, but from our gods. And, judging from everything that is happening in Menes now, it is not impossible for the invaders to suddenly attack one day and want to destroy this world. So...... I will give you full trust and authority, and each of you will need to do your best. ”

"The power of the royal family?"

Ivan felt that it was far from enough, hesitated for a moment, and decided to be blunt:

"The royal family and the priests wield the power of sacred scriptures and divine spells, ruling the world from above, and relying on blood to distinguish between the superior and the common people. This rule has lasted for thousands of years, and it has finally come to an end. Because not all those who study the holy scriptures can reach the level of your cousin, and this is the reason why we ultimately failed. ”

The reason why the Menes Empire has survived for thousands of years is that only the royal family and the priests have extraordinary power. Under the dual constraints of strength and religion, the commoners have never had a chance to resist, and they are neither able to cultivate sacred scriptures nor study divine spells, so they cannot change the dynasty.

Relying on this number of elites to suppress the natives is, of course, impregnable. But against the aliens who can drop troops across planets, with the power of the royal family and the sacrificial group alone, there will never be a chance of victory.

In Ivan's view, if the Menes Empire wants to turn the tables, it must liberate the toiling masses, emancipate their minds, and liberate their productive forces, so that they can gain strength by learning the knowledge of mechanical civilization. Give full play to the industrial potential of 200 million people and arm the entire empire with machinery, which will have a chance to drive out the colonial army.

However, the impact of this will definitely be the complete collapse of the situation in the royal family and the sacrificial domination of the empire, which is also what most vested interests do not want to see.

He didn't believe that Eru Lome's intelligence would not have thought of this, but she was unwilling, or rather had illusions, in a vain attempt to stay on the current means of ruling and revive the empire by the power of the royal family and sacrifices.

"You mean to arm the civilians?"

Ailu Luomei held up the glass cup with one hand, her eyes slid down the texture of the cup surface, and asked seemingly nonchalantly.

"We have no choice, the mission of the royal family is not to rule for the sake of dominating, we have an obligation to restore the dignity and strength of this empire, and it is worth losing even some power for this. Evan replied earnestly.

"Do you know the risks of doing this?" said a cold glint in her eyes.

"Of course, you and I, and the entire royal family, are at risk of being sent to the gallows. ”

Evan ignored the other party's look at this time, he knew that the opportunity was rare, and he had already begun to put his heart into his heart at this time:

"As such, the country needs a great helmsman. She must not only reform the accumulated shortcomings, but also balance the situation and keep the empire running. I understand your pain better than anyone, but I used to sit at that negotiating table that was slaughtered and knew we had no choice!"

“......”

After a long silence, Eru Lomme raised her head, and her eyes under her slender eyelashes were renewed, as if she was looking at a stranger who was equal to herself:

"You're right. ”

In the eyes of the princess, Evan sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his waist straightened, his silhouette thin and hard, clearly wearing a dress, but as majestic as a warrior in iron armor. She had seen such a figure before, a warrior who looked at death as if he were at home, a warrior who could still maintain his fighting spirit and dignity in the face of himself who had activated the Sun Sutra.

"Where do you think we should start...... Reform?"

"Learn!"

Evan replied without hesitation: "Send a study abroad expedition to the Federation to learn the most advanced mechanical civilization, bring them back, and spread them widely in our land." ”

"Will they be willing to teach?" said Eru Lomme shook her head slightly.

"Even if we can't learn anything, we have to get to know them. ”

He also felt that he couldn't learn anything real, at least not the core knowledge of a mechanic, but even a little bit of fur was a huge improvement for Menes.

At this moment, it was raining outside the window, and a dense raindrop hit the ground, and Eru Lomei turned her head to look at the court in the rain outside the window.

"I'll think about it. ”

She stood up with her skirt and looked at him with a smile:

"In the future, I will draw up a list of students to study abroad and apply to the people in the foundation. If approved, the one who leads the way, I hope it's you. ”

"I'll do my best!"

Evan was overjoyed, and it was not in vain to be able to see the appearance of interstellar civilization in his lifetime.
