Chapter 581: Questions and Answers on the Train
"You can't go back, can you?" Donner reached out and pushed the iron door of the cab, and the whistling wind suddenly subsided. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lisa looked at the railroad tracks in front of her without squinting, and said in a contemptuous tone, "You're very well-informed." ”
"As soon as the dragon rider died, the Chega Mountain became the target of public criticism. They don't even dare to move the Holy See of Light, so I'm afraid they won't mind making any more effort to get rid of the weakened Chiga Mountain, right?" Donner said bluntly.
Lisa smiled nonchalantly, glanced at Donner, and said, "You think I'm going to be afraid of them?"
Donner was slightly stunned, Lisa was right, although she was only an eleventh level mage, and there was a gap between her and the legendary mage, but with her special ability as a spirit mage, she really didn't have to be afraid of those legendary mages.
"As long as they are given some time to organize an offensive and defensive alliance, even if you give up that blue-blooded monster and get the head dragon to play, it may not be able to hold up the situation in the Khiga Mountain. He reminded.
"You're right, but do you really think I'm afraid to go back because I'm afraid?" Lisa's tone carried a hint of her usual disdain.
"That's just as well. Donner nodded, indeed, he didn't think Lisa would be afraid of anything. This woman is a psychopath at all, only others are afraid of her, and there is no reason why she is afraid of others.
"How did you come up with the idea of doing something presbytery, wouldn't it be nice to keep the power firmly in the hands of your little woman?" said Lisa suddenly, for no reason.
"There are a lot of reasons, and I can't explain it for a while. Donner said.
"What I have is time. Lisa said.
Donner withdrew his gaze from the front window of the train, glanced at Lisa, smiled, turned his head to look ahead, and said, "First of all, I don't have any interest in power. ”
Lisa didn't speak, acquiescing to his answer. In fact, she understands Donner very well, because she herself has little interest in power, which she said herself as early as when she was in the Magic Continent.
"Secondly, I also don't have the ability and passion to run the country, and Lucia doesn't have ...... either," Donner said.
"Are you sure the guy named Merkel has it?" Lisa said dismissively.
"Of course I can't confirm it, but if he can't, let's get another one...... It's hard to change an emperor, it's easy to change a prime minister, isn't it?" said Donner.
Lisa didn't argue any further.
"In the Magical Continent, a person's power and status come from the power he wields, while in Middle-earth, the decisive factor is identity and bloodline...... There is not much difference in essence. Donner said.
"Choosing a prime minister and imitating the Knight Continent to form an elder council, can we change this situation?" Lisa asked rhetorically.
"Of course, this alone cannot be done, but there is a system of electing parliamentarians from below, and there are civil rights under the Grand Carta of Femont...... We may be able to turn the cornerstone of building society from blood, identity and power into a contract. Donner said.
"Contract?" Lisa wondered.
"Yes, the contract. Downer explains: "Merkelbach's premiership is essentially a pact between the Council of Elders and him, and everyone in the Council of Elders is also empowered by a pact provided by the Parliament...... You see, because it is a contractual relationship, the obligations and powers are clearly written, and it is clear under what circumstances the contract will lapse or expire......"
Downer went on to say, "Not only that, but every free man who enters into a contract is equal in the balance of power and duty. ”
"This is not what I see," said Lisa, "and your aristocratic friends who run factories do not feel that they have any equality with those common workers. ”
"Fog City wasn't built in a day, and we're going to need some time. Donner smiled, "Anyway, those workers are better off than the hungry farmers, aren't they?"
"I've heard that the Magna Carta of Femont stipulates that magicians above level 4 are not allowed to hold the position of Prime Minister of the Empire, is that true?" Lisa's tone gradually calmed down, no longer carrying her trademark sarcastic tone.
"Why, were you still interested in running for prime minister?" Donner glanced at Lisa with a smile, and saw that she was not interested in joking, so he straightened up a little and said, "The process of being cowardly with magic may be longer than imagined, and for this, we have to use some special means." ”
"What do you mean?" Lisa was once again bewildered by Donner's words.
"Take off its mystical cloak and return it to its purely objective nature. At this time, the train had just turned a corner, and the high-speed turning train had a huge centrifugal effect on the inclined track, and the workers in the cargo compartment behind them exclaimed in unison.
When the exclamation passed, Donner continued: "You know what? Not only can't the Prime Minister of the Empire be a mage above the Blue Bird, but the members of the Council of Elders are the same, in addition to reducing the blind worship of magicians, it is also to avoid the phenomenon of power being linked to power. ”
"If there is no guarantee of power, how can power be maintained? is it only a contract?" said Lisa, frowning.
Just as the power of the king is the power of the prime minister and the presbytery, the power of the prime minister and the council of elders should be maintained by the army. Donner said.
"As far as I know, in the Knight Continent, the Council of Elders is also controlled by powerful families, otherwise, the army will inevitably empty the Council of Elders, and even mutiny," Lisa said, "You can't ask all those soldiers to abide by the contract you said, right?"
"Before I can answer that, you have to tell me why you want to stay?" asked Donner.
“...... Whether your reform succeeds or not, at least it's interesting, and I don't want to miss it. Lisa said.
"Well, can I understand that you think that this continent is about to change dramatically, most likely, on the good side, right?"
"You can feel that way. Lisa smiled.
"If there are a certain number of people who hold this view, it will form an unstoppable force that will lead the empire in a good direction, and I call this cohesion. Donner glanced at Lisa, "Just like you see in Fog City." ”
"Things can't always go well, and what happens when you fall into adversity and your so-called cohesion can't unite the army?" Lisa seemed to feel like she had found Donner's life.
"Don't you see that, under the double attack of the Northern Knight Continent and the Southern Magic Continent, we are in adversity all the time," Donner smiled to himself, and said, "But this kind ......of adversity can cause a strong cohesion of the same enemy, isn't it?"
"Besides what?" asked Lisa.
"Our army comes from civilians, and all they have to lose in this reform is the chains......" Donner swallowed, swallowing back "what will be gained will be the whole world", because in his opinion, the second half of the sentence is just a demagogic slogan with little practical meaning.
"Alright," Donner lifted the power lever of the Magic Engine and pulled down the brake brake, and the train slowed down with the screeching sound of brakes, "now you can say it, what are you going to stay for?"
"Set up a factory. Lisa said rightfully.
"Factory?" Donner looked at her in surprise as if he had just met Lisa today.
"I know you're not obligated to help me, so I've brought something to exchange technology with you......" Lisa said with a smile.
"What?" asked Donner.
"I brought the Cathedral of Light ......," Lisa finally said.
Donner understood Lisa's words, and besides, he knew he couldn't possibly refuse the offer.
