Chapter 104: The Determination to Build a Nation
In the square of the town, there is a large spacious house, which is the place where the people of the town discuss some big things on weekdays.
Today, it is not open to the townspeople, and the guards brought by Viscount Lane have isolated the perimeter of the large house.
Of course, with Meccato's instructions, the people of the town would not have come near the big houses.
In the large house, Viscount Lane sat opposite Murray and Mercato, on either side of a large table.
The most interesting thing is that Uncle Raul did not sit on Viscount Lane's side, and certainly did not sit on Murry's side, but chose to sit in the center position, which shows Uncle Raul's attitude, he is not here to help Viscount Lane persuade Murry, nor will he help Murray ask the Viscount for any benefits.
After a brief silence, Viscount Lane was the first to speak, "Well, then I'll tell you what I think. β
Viscount Ryan's idea was simple and straightforward, and he hoped that Morry's entire town would support him.
"You should be well aware that I am a staunch industrial party, and if you choose to support me, then you will have industrial support. β
This sentence can be regarded as saying to Murray, in the eyes of Viscount Lane, Murray, a kid from the dragon country, should care most about the status of industry.
However, Murray did not say yes, nor did he thank Dade for Viscount Lane's promise.
On the contrary, Mecato said directly: "Your Excellency, in fact, what we want is not only industrial support, nor is it just the status of industry. β
Viscount Ryan glanced at the young man of the Dragon Kingdom, and saw that the other party did not mean to speak, so he looked at Mecato again and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Mecato said very directly: "What we want is a status that is in line with who we are, fair treatment. β
Viscount Ryan was stunned for a moment: "Fair treatment?"
Then, the viscount couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, are you too naΓ―ve, will there be absolute fairness in this world?"
"In this world, there will be a lot of unfairness, who can guarantee that there will be fair treatment?"
"Commoners will feel that their situation is inferior to that of the aristocracy, so they will feel that the world is unfair. β
But the aristocracy will also feel that they are in a bad situation, and they will also feel that it is unfair. β
"Even the Holy See of the Sun God, they keep saying that they want to give justice to people, but when did they do it?"
Speaking of this, Viscount Lane stretched out his hands and asked helplessly: "So, how can I give you the fairness you want?"
Usually, this dwarf leader can be regarded as a good speaker, and when he learned that Viscount Lane had arrived, he also thought about a lot of words and responses.
But now in the face of Viscount Lane's words, Mecato suddenly ran out of words.
It is natural to feel that the viscount is right, and there is no so-called fairness in this world.
At this moment, Murray spoke: "Your Excellency is right, there is indeed no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. β
Hearing the Dragon Nation boy say the same, Mecato suddenly felt that it seemed that they had become passive in this conversation.
But the next moment, the young man's words changed: "But, since we are partners in cooperation, should Your Excellency the Viscount show sincerity? Should you still give us relative fairness? You should know very well what we need, but I don't know if you are willing to give it to us."
Viscount Ryan stared at Murry, feeling the sharpness of the dragon boy, especially the very rigorous logic.
It is worthy of being from the country of machines, always so rational, and always insisting on its own logic when speaking and doing things.
After a moment of silence, Viscount Lane spoke again: "What you want is nothing more than equal status, and I can give this to you." β
Before Murry and Mercarto could speak, Viscount Lane continued, "However, you must understand that the equality I can give you is only within my borders. β
When "Homeland" heard the word, neither Murry nor Meccato, or even Raul, who was sitting in the center, was taken aback.
Viscount Lane said this word, which means that the ambition of this viscount is no longer limited to the scope of the viscountdom.
Or to put it more bluntly, Viscount Lane no longer wants to be just a viscount, he wants to really build a country, to become a king.
A viscount wants to build a state, wants to be a king, and this matter may not be new elsewhere.
But on the Western continent, this is an absolutely terrible big thing, and one that is almost impossible to get any support.
On the western continent, especially now that the Helios Cult occupies an absolute theocracy position, the entire Western pattern has long been restricted by the Helios Cult.
Whether it is the royal family, the twelve golden nobles, or the titles of the "princes and princes" below, they have long been fixed by the Sun God Sect.
To put it simply, if it is a royal family, then it will always have the identity of the royal family, even if it cannot inherit the throne, but it still has the identity of the royal family.
The Twelve Golden Nobles also have their identities, just like the proton of Viscount Lane, the absolute Ather, even if he is bullied and regarded as a proton, his bloodline of the Twelve Golden Nobles, as well as his baronial status, will always be recognized by the Holy See.
In the same way, no matter how great his exploits are, Viscount Lane will always remain a viscount.
With the recognition of the Holy See, the family of Lane can only be viscounts forever, and the descendants of Viscount Lane may be promoted to barons, but they will never be promoted.
Under such a mean and solidified hierarchy, it is almost impossible for Viscount Lane to build a country and become a king.
But since Viscount Lane said the word "homeland" in public, he has already indicated Viscount Lane's thoughts and attitudes.
He didn't want to continue to grovel to the Empire and the Holy See, he wanted to break the absolute dominance of the Holy See over the hierarchy.
He decided not to obey anymore, he decided to rebel, he wanted to stand up and say no, he wanted to build a country on his own.
Viscount Ryan glanced around, looked at the surprised eyes of several people, and then said: "Am I not clear?" Then I will be more direct, I can give you what you want, but you must help me, help me build the country, and make me the lord of this land." β
At this moment, listening to Viscount Lane's undisguised words, Murry and Mecato were suddenly stunned.
Mercator, in particular, never thought that Viscount Lane would say such a thing to himself.
Although he also thought that there was a country in the West that could truly accept all the sub-human races, so that the human race and the sub-human race could live in peace.
But he never thought that he would fight against the Sun Empire and the Sun God Cult, and to establish such a kingdom on his own.
I have to say that Viscount Lane's words really caught the dwarf off guard, and he didn't know how to respond to the other party.
However, after being silent for a moment, Murray suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, as long as the viscount can recognize our rightful status, then we can help you build the country." β
