Chapter 66: A republic on the surface, a dictatorship in fact
"You also heard what the old man said just now, how about it, should you make a statement?"
Lin Yin clenched his fists and showed a malicious smile at the Blood Demon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, I also want to end this war. But I can't be the master. ”
After the Blood Demon understood what Lin Yin meant, he showed a bitter smile.
"Can't be the master? Don't you claim to be a republic? You're one of the Ten Demon Kings, and you should have the same veto power as the UN Permanent Council. Anyway, this war is just a battle of wills, and there should be a lot of people who support you. ”
Lin Yin asked curiously.
"I don't know what the United Nations you are talking about, but you really think highly of me, my lord." The Blood Demon smiled bitterly and continued, "Although we claim to have an Elders' Council, and the decisions are all made by the Elders, in fact, more than half of the Demon Kings of the Elders' Council have long been bought by the First Elder, and now, the Elders' Council is just his hall. ”
"Really? Then why didn't he simply call the emperor dictatorship. ”
Even Renaud and the old man couldn't help but show shocked looks, obviously they didn't know the news before. Compared with Lin Yin, the old man obviously thought further.
"With so many demon kings, how can he have enough treasures to buy them one by one?"
"This news has been tightly sealed by the First Elder, and it is normal for you not to know. As for why he is not dictatorial, I am also not very clear. The Blood Demon first answered Lin Yin's question, then his expression became ugly, and he continued, "As for how he could have treasures to buy so many demon kings, in fact, I have already guessed, I suspect that many demon kings have been secretly controlled by him by means. ”
"Is there such a big difference in abilities between the demon kings? Can the First Elder control the other Demon Kings without a trace? ”
The old man asked in a deep voice with a puzzled look.
"Naturally not, but the demon king also has weaknesses, such as me, and my children are weaknesses." looked at Yi Xue'er and the black-haired man dotingly, and there was a trace of helplessness in the blood demon's eyes, "This time I sent my son to the battlefield, saying that it was to make credit, but in fact, I also wanted to protect him from being caught by the first elder, as for me, an unconscious daughter, I wandered outside all day, and the first demon king couldn't find her." ”
Hearing this, Ixher couldn't help but playfully stick out her tongue.
"I see."
Under such a major news change, everyone couldn't help but fall into thought. And the Blood Demon didn't seem to have enough revelations, and continued to add, "Moreover, the initiation of this war was also strongly promoted by the First Demon King, although we didn't agree, it didn't help. Those servant races were also captured by the First Elder from various worlds a hundred years ago. Obviously, there was something about Noah's civilization that he coveted, which made him start the layout a hundred years ago. ”
"Noah's civilization, something worthy of the coveted by the First Elder? Old man, at this time, don't pretend, if you have any artifacts, secret weapons, etc., hurry up and explain. ”
Lin Yin instantly turned his gaze to the old man.
"As a scientific and technological civilization, we naturally don't have what you said." The old man said funny, but his face quickly turned calm, it seemed that this news made him very confused, "Moreover, we don't have any special secret weapons or anything like that, scientific and technological achievements can be mass-produced, and it is obviously impossible to be favored by the Demon King." ”
"Really, don't lie to me, it's all about time, don't hide. If I find out that you are lying, I will not be responsible for it. ”
Lin Yin was still trying to ask.
"Not really."
The old man looked sincere.
"Really?"
Lin Yin still didn't believe it, the old man's previous cunning really made him remember it deeply.
"I might be able to give you some information." Seeing the dispute between the two, the Blood Demon thought for a while, and continued, "At the beginning of the battle, in fact, the First Elder had no intention of attacking the planets colonized by your Noah civilization, but was only preparing to destroy a few uninhabited planets and stop the war. But after some time, it seemed that he realized that something was not enough, and he continued the war. ”
"What's not enough? Something on an unmanned planet? ”
Lin Yin felt that his head was too big.
At this time, the technological superiority of the Noah civilization was reflected, and the old man immediately replied: "Among the five planets destroyed by the Demon King Army, one is a mining star, 80% of the minerals are broken star rocks, 15% are star core fragments, and the rest are all kinds of associated minerals, which can be ignored." ”
"The other four planets are all barren unmanned satellites, and we only have basic sub-light speed navigation devices and unmanned satellite probes on them, as well as operating clones and robots."
"And clones, aren't they all robots?"
Lin Yin asked curiously.
"Soulless clones were canceled as early as 500 years ago in the first constitution of the Noah civilization, and their rights as members of the Noah civilization were canceled, and many subtle robots are very complicated to do, but flesh and blood are very easy, so we implant chips into the brains of beasts, improve their IQ, and use them as robots."
The old man explained in detail, and his tone was very calm.
"Sounds cruel."
Lin Yin frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"This is the price that must be paid for the progress of civilization. Even the citizens of the Noah civilization must be ready to sacrifice their lives for civilization at any time, let alone just a cloned beast. ”
The old man replied without hesitation.
"Forget it, I don't bother to pay attention to your twists and turns, so what do you think is the most likely to be coveted by the First Demon King, and the number of these 5 planets is not enough?"
Lin Yin asked a little irritably. Using cloned lives as machines, whether it is reasonable or not, always sounds a little uncomfortable, which makes Lin Yin's mood worse.
"It could be minerals, or it could be a special alloy that makes up the robot's body, and I can't make enough judgments without the support of intelligence."
The old man thought about it, but still couldn't give a specific answer.
"By the way, Blood Demon, do you know what type of Demon King your First Elder is? In this case, I guess I can guess what he wants. ”
Lin Yin suddenly asked about the blood demon next to him.
"This, I don't know, during the meeting, the first elder is usually dressed in a black robe, covering his whole body, and I haven't seen his true face."
The Blood Demon replied helplessly.
"Damn, if you want to be so aggrieved by an elder, you don't even know what your own boss looks like."
The Bloodfiend could only smile bitterly.
"Forget it, don't guess, go directly to the door by force, teach him to be a man, oh no, be a demon."
Lin Yin shook his head and decided to pull things into the realm he was familiar with, and then use his rich experience to defeat his opponent.
Mental work or something, it's too much trouble.
