"The Kingdom of Libel, a kingdom located in the southwestern part of the Semurian continent, has a history of more than a thousand years and has a monarchy, but the aristocratic restraint was abolished 100 years ago. The current head of state is Queen Alicia von Oslersai. Located on the west side of the continent of Semuria, bordering the two powerful powers of the Erebonian Empire in the north and the Republic of Calvard in the east, it is a small country that lives in the gap between the two powers as a buffer state, but it maintains an equal relationship with each country with its abundant Qiyao Stone resources, high-tech power guide technology and clever diplomacy......

"In the middle of the Kingdom of Liber is the vast Lake Valyria, which is surrounded by many institutions, such as the Royal College of Genesys and the Reston Fortress, and the royal capital of Grancel, which is also located to the east of the lake, so that Lake Valyria is extremely important in terms of military and navigation. In addition, the kingdom was divided into five regions, which were named after their central cities. With the exception of Her Majesty's Crown Capital, the other four regions are responsible for their respective mayors......"

"The harbour city of Luan, located to the west of Lake Valyria, is connected to Perth in the north and Chase in the southeast. Located at the mouth of the Lubino River, which connects Lake Valyria to the Gulf of Athalia, the seaport city has been a thriving city since ancient times with a focus on fishing and shipping. However, in recent years, due to the development of airships, the volume of sea transportation has been decreasing, and trade with the Erebonian Empire has also plummeted after the Battle of the Hundred Days. In recent years, it is moving from the center of industry to tourism......"

A young man who was wearing the uniform of Janice Royal College, but who was definitely not a student of Janice Royal College, really looked at the materials carefully, there were materials about the world, there were materials about this country, all the materials that could or could be used.

This young man is Zheng Shuanglong, who came to this world using a cross-border magic circle in order to recover the soul coordinates.

After becoming a drifter on the sea that day, when he was sent by the waves to the beach on the edge of the Meiwei Sea Road, Zheng Shuanglong was taken by Principal Collins.

Not to mention that the way Zheng Shuanglong appeared and the timing of his appearance were so coincidental, the strange temperament of Zheng Shuanglong's body that was difficult to hide was enough to move Principal Corinth, who had read countless people.

It is gold that always shines, even if it is unconscious, even if it is wrapped in several seaweeds, even if it really looks very embarrassing, but the indescribable temperament of Zheng Shuanglong impressed Principal Corinz at the first time, and made the old man of Corinz understand that the young man in front of him is the person he expects, and he has great talent. He can change the country if he wants to.

At this moment, the old man Corinths completely forgot how weird and incredible Zheng Shuanglong's appearance was, completely forgot that he didn't know anything about Zheng Shuanglong, and completely forgot to explore the details of Zheng Shuanglong, so he decided to bring Zheng Shuanglong back to the Genesis Royal Academy.

Even at this moment, Principal Corinth was grateful to the goddess of the void in his heart, which was really an incredible thing. The stronger the knowledge, the stronger the self-confidence, the stronger the insistence on oneself in one's heart, and the smaller the belief in the gods, it can be said that Principal Corinth, who is one of the most knowledgeable people in the Liber Kingdom, believes in the goddess of the sky and prays to the goddess of the sky, is this a joke? Scholars have always been the most hated by missionaries.

Sometimes, the brilliance really can't be hidden, no matter when, as long as they want to, they are the center of everyone, which is talking about people like Zheng Shuanglong.

Without saying a word, without saying a word, just relying on his temperament, Zheng Shuanglong conquered Principal Corinth, making Principal Corinth feel that Zheng Shuanglong was the person he needed, the one who could save the kingdom.

Although Zheng Shuanglong's non-cooperation really gave Principal Collins a headache.

"Hey, old man, you're the principal of this academy, aren't you supposed to have a mountain of documents to deal with, why do you have so much spare time, stay in this data room all day long, you don't bother, I look at it." Putting down the information in his hand, Zheng Shuanglong looked angrily at Principal Collins, who was sitting opposite him, sipping tea and eating pastries, and said angrily.

It stands to reason that Principal Collins is the master here, and Zheng Shuanglong is just a guest, so it is really unreasonable to be so unkind, but when he meets Principal Corinth, an old guy who wants to persuade Zheng Shuanglong to participate in the political activities of the Liber Kingdom as long as he seizes the opportunity, Zheng Shuanglong is really difficult to have a good temper.

If it weren't for Principal Corinth's behavior, Zheng Shuanglong would have soaked in the sea for an hour and a half, if it hadn't been for this situation, Zheng Shuanglong would have used the Void Sword to split this annoying guy a long time ago.

"Don't you think about it, as long as you nod your head and agree to participate in the assessment of Lu'an City this time, or other cities in the Liber Kingdom, and become a government official, you will have all the money, status, and glory, and the Council of Scholars I represent will be your strong backing, soon, easily, you will become a big man in the Liber Kingdom, and every move will have a far-reaching impact, this kind of opportunity is difficult for others to think of, and I really can't let it go."

"Or if you think that passing the exam and starting as a government official is not worthy of your ability and identity, that's no problem, I have a good relationship with many of the upper echelons of the Liber Kingdom, and I can arrange for you the identity of an assistant, the identity of a secretary of a big man, so the start is also very fast."

"You see whether it's Luan, or Parth, I'm a big man in Luan, and the mayor of Parth also graduated from my academy and can be regarded as my student, so there's no problem, as long as you want to, there's no problem at all."

"Or Chase, that's fine, although I don't have a very good relationship with Arbat Russell, but I think he'll sell me face. Do you want to go to Lorente, although I personally think that Loliente is not a good place to develop, but if you want me, I have no problem, I have a good relationship with Klaus, as long as I recommend, arrange a better location, this is no problem at all......"

Seeing Zheng Shuanglong put down the information in his hand, Principal Collins immediately began to persuade him thousands of times in the past few days. Use various methods to persuade Zheng Shuanglong to participate in the politics of the Liber Kingdom.

Zheng Shuanglong was very troubled by the persuasion of Principal Corinth, and Principal Corinth didn't have a headache Zheng Shuanglong's stubbornness, he had never seen Zheng Shuanglong such a stubborn guy who did not enter the oil and salt and was like a stubborn stone, no, even the stubborn stone should be moved by the bright future he depicted, and Zheng Shuanglong was stunned at all. This was a real headache for Principal Collins.

"I said old man, you say this every day, don't you bother, didn't I make it clear that I won't participate in the politics of the Liber Kingdom." In the face of such a persistent old man, Zheng Shuanglong is really a little powerless. Aren't there any people who want to be officials these years, why do you always pester me, even if I do have some ability, but I really have no interest.

Indeed, there are many, many problems in the Liber Kingdom now, behind the prosperity, there are too many distortions and crises, the decay of the army, the decline of combat power, the irritability of society, internal strife, the eyeing of the empire, the ill intentions of the republic, and the disappointment and improper development of the Liber Kingdom itself. There will always be problems.

Indeed, Zheng Shuanglong has the ability and the means to solve these problems in the Liber Kingdom, and has the ability to evolve the Liber Kingdom into a big country, a big country that can make a loud voice in the world.

However, what about this, does Zheng Shuanglong have any ties with the Liber Kingdom, there is no at all, in this case, why should Zheng Shuanglong waste five to ten years of time in the Liber Kingdom, the world is very chaotic, there are always a lot of grievances, Zheng Shuanglong can't take care of everything, and he doesn't have the heart to take care of it.

With this idle time, Zheng Shuanglong might as well find a place to slowly repair the broken spiritual imprint and make up for the almost disappeared spatial imprint, anyway, the soul coordinates have been recovered, and there is not much Zheng Shuanglong to care about in this world.

If you really want to say that you care, the unknown space that Asada Shino came from really interested Zheng Shuanglong. There should be a lot of interesting and useful stuff in it.

"It's not annoying at all, I'm old, it's rare for someone to listen to my nagging, how can I be annoying. If you find it annoying, just agree to my request, and I won't bother you. You see, the Liberl Kingdom has ......" With a peaceful smile on his face, Principal Corinth gently stroked his long white beard and continued to persuade him.

"Stop, old man, it doesn't make sense for you to say that. Let's be clear with you, not to mention that the stage of the Liber Kingdom is not big enough, and it is not enough for me to perform, simply put, I don't look down on the small stage of the Liber Kingdom, and I am not a native of Liber, which determines that it is impossible for me to participate in the politics of the Liber Kingdom. ”

With a slight wave of his hand, Zheng Shuanglong interrupted Principal Collins very rudely and said coldly.

"I'm not born in this kingdom, I don't love this kingdom, I have no responsibility for this kingdom, I won't serve the kingdom wholeheartedly, as long as I have enough interests, I will betray this kingdom, and the empire and the republic can definitely provide me with enough benefits, this kind of situation without the slightest loyalty, can you still safely persuade me to participate in the politics of this Liber Kingdom, and can you let me do something to this kingdom with peace of mind."

"This ......" looked at Zheng Shuanglong's extremely indifferent expression, and listened to Zheng Shuanglong's cold and chilling words, even the experienced and well-read Principal Corinth didn't know what to say.

However, after all, it is the existence of thieves who are old and immortal, and after thinking about it for a while, Principal Corinths said: "If you are not a person from this kingdom now, it does not mean that you will not be a person from this kingdom in the future. If you are loyal, then you will serve this kingdom from the bottom of your heart. As for the problem that the stage is small and can't be displayed, this is not a problem at all, the city is small and shows real kung fu, isn't it. The most important thing is that I have already completed all the formalities for you, and now you are a citizen of Luan, the Kingdom of Libel, according to the law. That's it. ”

Glancing at the old man Collins angrily, Zheng Shuanglong said: "What nonsense are you talking about, even if you go through the formalities, but you can always be clear, and the big man's every move has a far-reaching impact, so the various trajectories of the big man will be put under the magnifying glass and seriously explored." ”

"Not to mention that I don't have the slightest sense of identity with this Liber Kingdom, and I don't want to spend my time and energy on it, just because of the darkness of politics, I can't take up a position in the Liber Kingdom."

"That's right, the dark nature of politics, I'm not a real Liber, no matter how many formalities there are, no matter how good the cover-up, it can't change this kind of thing, as long as I'm not a real native Liber, who will pay attention to me? No, even if it's an old man, you're the same, you need me now, and you hope I can change the country, so I beg me to do something for the country, but when the external environment changes, when the Liber Kingdom gets a favorable development, and gets a new elite who is not as capable as me, but is the Liber native elite, you will definitely change it, even if your attitude will not change, but those people behind you will not support me. ”

"I don't know exactly what kind of country the Kingdom of Liber is, but the political circle of every country is not a political circle that welcomes foreigners. Any foreigner with money and ability can enter the political circle, but he will never be able to fit in, yes, yes. I don't want to be ousted from power and wanted by the kingdom because I unwarrantedly owe 10 mira to the Empire. If that's the case, I'll have no face, so in order to prevent that from happening, I will definitely not join the political circle of the Liber Kingdom. ”

Moreover, you have to have a lot of money to participate in politics, and you have no money to play politics, and the mayor of Chase City, Madock, has the support of Arbat Russell, the father of Liber's guidance, to become the mayor of Chase. Mabel in Perth was a big businessman in his own right, with a lot of money. Maurice Delmont of Luan City was a great nobleman in the old days, and his family's antique mansion was worth 100 million Mira, and he was rich in wealth. Even Klaus of the most obscure city of Lotente was a big farmer. So, dear Rector Corinth, how much money can you provide for my political activities, is it a hundred thousand mira, or a million mira, how much assets do you have without corruption or bribery, on your salary, on the subsidies of the academy, or on the contributions of those scholars behind you who are also not wealthy, what is the use of this money, you can't play politics at all. ”

"It's true that I was able to get a lot of Mira in a short period of time, but these Miras are completely inadequate compared to those who play politics. I guess it's not even a tenth of other people's political donations. ”

"Identity, wealth, and interests determine that it is impossible for me to participate in the politics of the Liber Kingdom, so don't bother to persuade your old man, there will be no results at all."

Putting the information aside, Zheng Shuanglong, who was a little thirsty, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"You picked me up from the beach and let me drink a few hours less seawater, I remember this favor, but just like that, it is not worth my hard work to carry out the so-called political struggle for you, and it is not worth it for me to spend more than ten years to transform a country, after all, if you really want to participate in politics and really want to climb up, it will take at least ten years to climb to a high position and become a real big man, and then I can carry out my political demands. As for the time it takes to realize the political demands, it has to be calculated separately, and the process is very arduous, an hour and a half is not equal to the time of at least 20 years. ”

"I rarely owe a debt of favors, but this does not mean that the debt I owe can be overdrawn indefinitely, there are only three things that I think are reasonable and can be done, that's it, the kind of idea of participating in the politics of the Liber Kingdom, saving the Liber Kingdom, and shackling me in the Liber Kingdom, don't mention it again, it's completely impossible."

Draining the tea in the teacup in one gulp, Zheng Shuanglong said categorically.

Looking at Zheng Shuanglong's expression, feeling Zheng Shuanglong's will, and understanding that no matter what he said, he would not reverse Zheng Shuanglong's will, Principal Corinth, who was a little disappointed, put the procedures for Zheng Shuanglong on the table. He sighed and began to think. Think about how to use these so-called three conditions.

Although it is a pity that there is no way to pull Zheng Shuanglong into the Liber Kingdom, Principal Corinth will not regret the kind of thing that has passed and is completely impossible. Seize the present and turn three things into the most powerful conditions, this is what Principal Collins cares about now.

The old man Corinth was thinking, and Zheng Shuanglong picked up the information that had been put aside and continued to read it quickly.

There is a lot of information in the data room, and the writing of the Semria Continent is very difficult, but for Zheng Shuanglong, that is, the words are mysterious, and the low mystery will lose its mystery in the face of the high mystery, Zheng Shuanglong, who has the ability to speak a thousand languages, quickly finished analyzing the text of the Semriya Continent, and then, swept the entire data room with an amazing reading speed.

This is Zheng Shuanglong's needs, and it is also the hope of Principal Corinth, without investigation, he has no right to speak, and he does not have a considerable degree of understanding of this Liber Kingdom, how can he propose a plan that is in line with the Liber Kingdom. Without a sufficient understanding of the world, how can we gain insight into the situation in the world and the dynamics of various major powers?
