"Which side do you think is the real empire?" asked Krinus coldly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"If I had to choose, I would choose Rant. Ancient laws still operate in the imperial capital, guaranteeing the security of the borders. "But if the emperor of Tours was really of Periar blood, things would have been very different," said Ebner. ”

"Interesting, isn't it?" said Krinus, "a blood gives power, a piece of paper gives power, even a dead city gives power." Kurosawa has nothing, but he still has power. One can't help but wonder what power really is, and many people go to great lengths to pursue it, and in the end they have to find a perfect reason to round it. For example, those reasons and excuses can give people a sense of security than the stone walls, and ensure that the spoils of their hard work will not disappear. Why bloodlines have power, why words have power. What makes the name Periyar more precious than others?And what makes the people, who have never heard of the law, follow the emperor's edicts? Power should be like many things, and there must be a fundamental reason behind it......"

"Power comes from people. Serena interjected.

"Yes, that's right. "Those in power are looking for countless reasons to believe that they have absolute power and rightness," Krinus said. A name is the best, a name that has been ordained by God will bind power to it until they are recorded in history. In this way, people's understanding can be quietly kidnapped. But this is not enough, and this default and consensus must be recorded on a paper page. The law, as a regulation familiar to the public and a concrete expression of basic ethics, would be a seamless lie if it recorded its absolute right to rule. But when this scene is exposed, there are more ways to justify power. Some people began to carry the banner of freedom and liberation, and easily turned people's will into their own power. ”

"What's your problem?" asked Ebner.

"My point is, can all the divine powers, the legal powers, the free powers really give a man supreme power, and if so, how is the power they create different from the others? Power comes from man, and cannot be separated from man. But is man regarded as an important factor in the Game of Thrones? If so, why haven't we seen the emperor praying to the people that his rule will last long? Long live the emperor and the blessing of the endless rule of virtue has always come from the dignitaries and nobles, and they seem to be insignificant feathers in the composition of power. People seem to be blind, or unaware of, how important their presence is to the nobility of the palace, and how great things their voices can do. "People hand over power to one person, and then they don't care about it, and let it fester." Is this transfer and granting of power really reasonable, and can anyone really drive the entire empire at will, regardless of other opposition?"

"What if it's wrong to assume that this way of giving power is wrong?" said Ebner.

"Yes, if this composition of power, which is based on lies and individuals, had been correct, there would have been no such elaborate bloodshed. If we are wrong to assume this, what better way to govern power?" said Krinos, "and the new composition of power should solve the following problems. First, power must be constituted in a way that must be, and can only be, tailored to the people from which it originates. Second, power should not be too powerful and centralized, locked in an iron cage. Third, the authority of power cannot be subverted at will, and the possibility of other forces subverting power in any way should be avoided. ”

"Any ideas?" said Ebner.

"Yes. Serena said, "You can daydream." ”

Krinus sighed and said, "That's not a bad idea." It is not easy to organize power simply according to the will of the people. Leaving aside the specific methods, it is impossible to simply make sacrifices for those in power. Avoiding the concentration and power of power is even more foolish's dream. Power can be seen as a god-like being who can exercise anything in the kingdom without thinking about the consequences. Letting power limit itself is like asking God if he can create a stone that he can't lift. Speaking of the question of subversion of power, if the army is separated from power, there will inevitably be the possibility of a coup d'état, and if the army is part of power, how can it be allowed to avoid being strong and centralized?"

Abner pondered, "What if there was a wise emperor in power?"

"I'm glad you agreed with my dictatorial idea. "Then we might have to go back to a long time ago," Krinus said. As I recall, last time we didn't come to any interesting conclusions. ”

"Let me say something. Serena changed her previous attitude of nonchalance and said seriously: "Don't be busy thinking about how to split the power, or put it in a cage. What do you see when you look out the window?"

"The city?" said Ebner.

"That's a naked interpretation of power, cities, land, gold coins, it's all there. "I don't know how to plan the country, but I know it's better to keep those things in my pocket than to keep them in someone else's," Serena said. So stop talking about power and state, grasping the immediate interests is the rule of everyone to play this game. ”

"I can see that Miss Serena wants the whole empire. Krinus said, "Can you do me a favor when this is done?"

"What?" asked Serena.

"Change the world a little bit for at least a little bit better than it has been in the last 400 years. Krinus said.

"I'll think about it when that's done. Serena said.

Ebner quietly looked out the window, hoping to find what Serena said of naked power.

"The adventure started to be different from what I had hoped for. Verbatim Ebner said: "I don't mean that I didn't envision its widespread reach, but that it began to get darker and darker." I thought I was doing my friend a favor and helping him answer his doubts. But the things that led out of it were full of ambition and blood, full of things that I couldn't understand. ”

"Are you starting to regret leaving Kanta, Mr. Mage?" said Serena.

"No ......" said Ebner, "I don't know ......"

"I understand that things are starting to get troublesome, and more troublesome than usual. "But do you know why the stories in the Code of Etharon are memorable?"

"You tell me. Abner said.

"All the stories seem so dark. Bad guys run rampant, and terrifying creatures are everywhere in every dark corner. All that was once good has disappeared along with the ruthless history. They are so pessimistic that everyone is thinking about it before they see the end. After all that has happened, will the world fall into an endless abyss from which it will never recover?" said Krinus, "but, Mr. Abner Kunskin. There is always a hero, a person. He was not afraid of darkness and difficulties, or those things he did not understand. He rose out of all odds, confronted the source of darkness, and saved the world from fire and water. Do you know why those stories were written in the books of the prophets?"

"I don't know......" Ebna said.

"Because the protagonists of those stories have a lot of opportunities to let go of all this and let the darkness envelop the world. But he didn't, and he stood firm in his will and defeated the darkness with it. "The faith and will in the story have allowed them to be recorded in the books that have been handed down for three thousand years," said Crinus. ”

"Why don't we let the darkness cover the world?" said Ebner to himself.

"Well, somebody has to save the world, doesn't it?" Krinos laughed, "I don't think I'll enjoy the dark days." ”
