"What?"

Helen was taken aback and turned her head to look at Pascal, who was also surprised, after all, he had been serving cups and pretending to be a mascot in this coffee shop not long ago, although he had some ideas that he had never mentioned to others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"For some reason, I always feel that Your Excellency has an extraordinary bearing, and you have a faint momentum above all living beings! ”

"Where's Watt?" Pascal said to himself that he was vague, but he didn't expect Maxwell to say this, and remembered that Watt looked high, and couldn't help but ask.

"He's just standing on top of all beings!"

"What about her?" Pascal looked at Olivia, he knew that Olivia was hidden, seeing that she knew Maxwell, and was able to turn the clouds in Atlantis, she was also a child of the First Family.

"I might be going to make Ollie angry again when I say that! Ollie seems to be cold and polite to people, but in fact, she has no eyes, she has never taken anyone else to heart, and she is outstanding in cultivation, but there is one thing: no ambition. ”

"What about your ambitions?" said Olivia, lukewarmly.

"What do you think I joined the Illuminati for? Is it really just to make those brainless people sound like dogs and horses for generations? Even I think their lives are wasteful, and they will waste their time by looking at them, and I will work tirelessly for them?"

Olivia was stunned: "Then what are you for?"

"I have never revealed this secret to anyone, and I hope you don't spread it," Maxwell paused, "In order to promote technology and let technology become the master of this world! Technology is not the same as bloodline, identity, and family property, it requires talent and hard work, and if technology becomes the master, then the world cannot be firmly controlled by a small number of people; even if they occupy high positions, they need to rely on the power of technical talents." In this way, technical talent will slowly take over, breaking the current pathologies that are rigid to the point of almost solidification. ”

Pascal looked back and thought about it, the monarchy that had lasted for thousands of years was slowly dismantled after the advent of the steam engine, was it really people who looked at the smoking machine and suddenly had an epiphany that knew that there was democracy and voting in the world, or was it technology that was the decisive force behind the change of social form. Those ancient families can no longer hold a firm grip on the most important resources to decide the fate of the world, and they have to surrender their authority, and those who master technology will replace those who inherit the bloodline and become the masters of the world.

"What do you desire, what do you desire, what is your ambition?"

"It's not so much ambition as faith. Pascal thought for a while, and finally spoke: "If you rely on technology, then I choose faith. Believing in technology can break down rigid hierarchies, but how can technology be used? Who can guarantee that technology will be used for good, not evil? If technology is used for evil, then the more technology advances, the more chaotic the world will be, right?"

"Maybe people will think of this, and they won't be unscrupulous. Helen said.

"Isn't that what Pascal is talking about?" Olivia said, and suddenly it occurred to her that the two people in front of her wanted to reshape the world, but one with technology and the other with faith, perhaps in their eyes the world was too chaotic, like a decaying building that needed to be torn down and rebuilt with the drawings they designed, and it was not about one thing, but the whole world! No wonder Maxwell lamented that Pascal was as above all beings as he was, perhaps Pascal had such a thought in his heart and unconsciously revealed it. After all, his eyesight is worse than Maxwell's.

Maxwell probably thought about the same thing, staring at it in deep thought, and suddenly said, "You don't actually believe that people will make the right choice. ”

Pascal was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself what was the point, if he didn't believe that people would make the right choice, what was the use of the best beliefs? But then it occurred to Maxwell that he was looking at the problem from a different angle, because if he believed that people would make the right choice, why would he want to force certain beliefs under the pretense of the Holy See? In a rational and prosperous world, even if people have different beliefs, they know how to compromise with each other in the process of meeting and colliding with each other, and finally form a set of beliefs that everyone can accept like a hundred rivers converging.

Thinking of this, Pascal felt inferiority more and more, even though every cell of his heart was not worthy of being compared with Maxwell, but deep down at least his own ambition was equally broad, not necessarily inferior to him; but after today's conversation, he found that Maxwell's ambition to dominate the world was not inferior to himself in the slightest, and even surpassed; he was confident that the last stronghold in the fortress had also been knocked out, and in an instant it was like a foot in the air and falling into a cliff, and his body sank straight down like a meteor falling to the ground, and he became more and more panicked, struggling with his hands and feet but without any strength, and he wanted to scream。

"Pascal, what's wrong with you?" Olivia couldn't help but reach out and hold the back of his hand, shaking it gently.

Pascal woke up suddenly, wondering if he really screamed, and was embarrassed to ask, and said, "No, nothing......" Olivia was also surprised and quickly retracted her right hand.

Helen listened to the conversation between the two on the side, feeling a little foggy, and she was barely able to keep up with the thinking of the two with all her brains. The two of them spoke to the point, but they could understand each other, but she needed to fill in the missing blank space in the conversation, which alone made her extremely difficult, probably like an engine spinning on the edge of extreme speed.

"What are you going to do?" Pascal fought back one last time like a beast in despair.

"The Illuminati. Maxwell didn't want to say it, if the Illuminati was still secretive at the beginning, but now it has been semi-public, after all, the Yuan Shi family also realized that if the descendants only know the sound of dogs and horses, the families can still live forever, it is really unreasonable, so they acquiesce to the actions of the Illuminati, even if it hurts the interests of some families, and it should be regarded as an operation, although it is inevitable to be injured, but it is always for the sake of the patient. "In fact, I can't be greedy for the merit of heaven as my own power, this trend has long been budding, and it has become a general trend of the rolling torrent in modern times. After all, the more the world progresses, the more it relies on the driving force of technology, and even in Atlantis, technology has quietly taken over all aspects, but those people are unwilling to admit it and even obstruct it in every way. ”

"Then Master Maxwell is taking advantage of the situation?" Helen saw that he was about to follow, and then he was thrown away by Maxwell's force, and he gradually felt powerless, so he simply stopped trying to catch up.

Maxwell smiled slightly: "The wise man follows the trend, and the fool moves against reason." ”

Helen nodded secretly, but Olivia was displeased: "You mean Pascal went against reason?"

"No, he and I both have our own ambitions, but we come from different backgrounds and choose different paths. Actually, I also want to know, who is better!"

Pascal's heartstrings were tugged at as soon as he heard the word "birth", in fact, he also knew that Maxwell intended to emphasize that the encounter was different, after all, he was born in the four wildernesses and grew up in the grass, not to mention that many things in Atlantis have never been seen, even if he can't think of it, he has to admit that Maxwell is in the top place in the world, and he can feel the direction of the future. After all, the four savage lands don't know how many hundred years it will take to develop to the current level of Atlantis.

"If technology can benefit the public, how can the Yuan Shi family maintain its position, and if the technology is in the hands of the Yuan Shi family, how can it benefit the public?"

Maxwell smiled bitterly, "That's true! It took me a long time to discover this problem, and I can't think of any good solution to this day." "Even if he can transcend the Yuan Shi family in dealing with things, if he wants to use the power of the Yuan Shi family to promote his ambition through the Illuminati Society, he will inevitably run into this dilemma. I didn't expect Pascal to think of this in a moment, maybe someone like him could see the situation more clearly when he jumped out of the circle.

"I'm afraid that the building will collapse, and it will be difficult to support it alone. Olivia sighed that if the building was in a state of decay, it would not be easier to repair and replace the dark warehouse from the inside than to build a new one, after all, there were so many constraints that it was impossible to even start under the intertwined roots. Pascal was thinking that Maxwell had the Illuminati supported by his family, which was blessed, unlike him who had to do it himself.

Helen suddenly felt that she was sitting with these three people, like a tree leaning on a jade tree, even though she was not stupid, she could only look up to the thinking of these three people.

The four of them had their own thoughts and thoughts, and suddenly there was a crying sound on the boulevard outside, and in a few words, Pascal and the others understood that it was another copy of the story of a thin girl who met a thin lover. Three or five girls surrounded one of them—something like the girl who stepped on Pascal's foot in front of the phone booth—only to hear the girl shout "Love is so painful", "She doesn't believe in love anymore", "She is determined to be a single nobleman for the rest of her life", until a girl next to her suddenly says that her boyfriend's roommate has been selected by Newton Academy after the draft and is still single...... The girl who swore that she would never look at a man again in her life immediately asked about the person's height, weight, appearance and family background, and said that she was so pitiful that others were not allowed to rob her.

"The so-called feelings. Pascal smiled coldly.

"What do you think about relationships?" Maxwell laughed.

"One life, one life!"

"Where's Ollie?"

"Let's meet first. Olivia said lightly.

"Oh. Pascal responded as if he had been awkward, as if Olivia had asked for his approval.

Olivia didn't notice anything: "What about Helen?"

"Meet the best people at the best of times. Helen lowered her head and whispered.

Maxwell sighed softly: "Shouldn't feelings be, no matter when and where you meet, you will feel that you are destined to stay together as predetermined." ”

Pascal was stunned, he didn't expect Maxwell to be not only ambitious, but also emotionally delicate, he thought that most of the children of the aristocracy were cockfighting lackeys, after all, he had lived in that privileged environment since he was a child, and all kinds of pleasures were at his fingertips, how could he not be moved, and once he was tempted, how could he stop in moderation. If Watt looks down on the common people, doesn't he also look down on the nobles, this is probably prejudice.

As soon as he touched the matter of affection, Pascalton became uncomfortable, as if sitting beside Helen was not only not lucky, but as if he was guilty, not to mention every move, even a breath was afraid to displease her, and he sat there and did not dare to move. Fortunately, Olivia quickly got up at this time: "I have something to do, let's go first, goodbye!Ellie, goodbye!" Sister Ellie also leaned against the north table and waved.

Pascal didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then got up and said goodbye, nodded at Helen and left behind Olivia, took two steps and suddenly remembered something, reached out and took his pocket and turned back.

"What are you doing?" said Olivia, seeing Pascal pull out a handful of copper baht.

"Coffee Money ......"

Olivia grabbed her, "You also look down on the people of the Isaac family!Forget it, I'll come!" she said, taking out a gold baht and pressing it on the table.

Pascal thought that this was better, and handed the copper baht in his hand to Olivia: "I'll give you the money! When I worked here, a cup of Blue Mountain was 199 copper baht, I don't know if the price has increased now, this is ......"

"No need, you can invite me again if you have a chance!" Olivia waved her hand.

Pascal thought about it and finally took it back, after all, it was not a small amount for him, and he blamed Oscar for having no conscience, so he brought the most expensive coffee at once, and then doubled it when he made a fortune in the future.

Olivia walked side by side with Pascal on the boulevard and asked, "What do you think of Maxwell?"

"To be honest, I never thought of someone with such ambitions: determined to take over the whole world, not just all the people in the world, but also the history, the present and the future!"

Olivia was stunned: "History has passed, how to take over?"

"History is determined by the future. For example, if you lead your troops to fight a war and lose a battle, if the battle is just a feint to win the war, and the war is won in the end, then the lost battle cannot be considered a failure. ”

"In other words, the outcome of the future determines the meaning of history?"

"Isn't it? There are some historical events that were good at the time, but they lead to evil consequences later, can they still be considered good? Some things that were evil at the time, but later brought greater good, can they still be called evil?"

"If that's the case, like the things we did, like the lives and deaths of the soldiers in the battle just now, what is it?"

"One event after another converges into an event, one event after another converges into history, and a piece of history converges into the future. Pascal said, after all, technology is the driving force of the world, Maxwell chose such a starting point to display his ambitions, not only can exert influence on the contemporary world, but I am afraid that the more the power of technology becomes more dominant in the future, the more powerful the picture conceived by Maxwell. Moreover, the power of technology is not something that people have to accept whether they want to or not, and even he has to admire Maxwell's vision.
