"Teacher, it's good if you call me by my name, and this is not in the palace. El walked straight to Danmerson's desk.

"Your Majesty, this is a necessary rule. Dan Merson looked at El who sat directly on his table with a little crying and laughing, when he was in front of him, he couldn't see a little regent consciousness, Dan Merson coughed twice, "Your Majesty, although there is no one else here, please pay a little attention to your image." ”

"Teacher. ”

"Huh?" Dan Merson noticed El smiling.

"So, he won't agree to accept the position of Prime Minister?" El looked down and played with his fingers, not knowing what his expression was.

Dan Mosheng looked at him with a somewhat complicated mood, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, it is not a wise choice to push Ye Zhiqiu to the position of prime minister, even if you are the ruling king, you have to consider the attitude of the House and the other two highnesses." ”

Although El was raised under Dan Merson's watch, Dan Merson did not understand what he did this time, bringing back Ye Duyu and not holding her accountable for Prince Rudy's death, which was a secret deal between Kong Er and Ye Zhiqiu on the condition of making Ye Zhiqiu the prime minister.

Regardless of why El wants Ye Zhiqiu to be the prime minister, the impact of this incident will be unprecedented, and may even make Kong El himself abdicate.

The empire is not decided by the ruling king alone, the highest authority of the empire is the Council of the Three Kings, the Council of the Three Kings is composed of three royal families, Ya with the volcano as the family emblem, the sky with the storm as the family emblem, and the sea as the family emblem Xi, the heads of the three families are members of the Three Kings Council, and the ruling king is elected by the Three Kings Council from the three heads of the family.

Although the ruling king is the symbol of the highest power of the empire and the most powerful person in the entire empire, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants, and the ruling king can be impeached if the other two heads of the house in the Council of Three Kings agree, or if two-thirds of the members of the House under the Council of Three Kings agree.

On the one hand, it exonerates Ye Duyu, who has something to do with the death of the youngest son of the Lord of the Mountain, and on the other hand, it allows Ye Zhiqiu, a human being, to serve as the prime minister in the Demon Spirit Empire, which will undoubtedly push Kong Er himself to the forefront.

"Because he's very capable. El said jokingly, but after seeing Dan Merson's face, he had to become serious, "Teacher, what do you think of the empire over the years?"

"I don't understand what you mean?" Dan Merson stood up propped up on the table.

El casually took two documents from Dan Merson's desk, the one written by Jose and the one prepared by Dan Merson, he opened the two documents and pushed them backwards in front of Dan Merson, and then propped up the table in the same posture as Dan Merson, looking at him face to face, "I've been wondering, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the Holy Saint to betray the Holy Council to establish this Demon Spirit Empire, since when did we become afraid to even face the truth of the matter?"

Dan Merson glanced at the two documents and replied, "It's not that you don't dare to face the truth, but you have to think about the big picture, which is politics." ”

"No, it's not about the big picture. El shook his head, "Remember the story you told me about the ancient demons?" At the end of the sea, the homeland of our demons, in the land where we once lived, our demons are the only race that does not believe in gods, because we know that there are no gods in this world, we are in awe of the vast nature rather than the vain gods, we draw strength from the mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars, from nature, to survive and multiply, when life comes to an end, we will dissipate on the earth, and the soul returns to the embrace of nature. What is it that has changed us and made us fall into the mortal world and become what we are now!"

"El, it is because of the changes that we demons have survived the cataclysm that destroyed our homeland and built this glorious empire instead of useless bones. ”

"Do you think the current empire is good now?" El, looking at Dan Merson with a slight sneer, "I see that this empire is in decline. ”

Dan Merson looked at him-for-tat, "The empire is in its prime, so why is it declining." ”

"The First Research Institute has not made any decent achievements for more than 30 years. ”

"The study of magic always comes to a bottleneck, they just need some time. ”

"There are fewer and fewer people volunteering to join the army, and you, as the Great Elder of Valhalla, have also discovered that there have been fewer new people in recent years. ”

"It's only been a few years, and we still have a conscription system, so the army won't really face a shortage of soldiers. ”

"There are more and more voices complaining about the inefficiency of the government. ”

"When there are fewer complaints in this regard, it may be because the officials are more serious about handling affairs. ”

"The Empire has been meddling more and more with the media in recent years, even if I have been sitting in the palace. ”

"If the guidance of public opinion is left unchecked, society will be in turmoil. ”

"Huh. El laughed, "No matter what I say to you, you can always find a reason to explain." But when all these phenomena come together, don't you notice that the operation of the empire has begun to go wrong, and this is a sign that the empire is going to decline!"

"El, you're a little too sensitive, you need to rest. Danmerson patted him on the shoulder, "Did something happen?"

"Teacher, you should know that the House wants to increase taxes on reservations. El looked at himself with a wry smile.

The Troglodyte Reservation is the Troglodyte Reservation, the only place within the Iron Curtain where other races live, and where problems are frequent in the Empire, and where the Storm Legion has been stationed to avoid any trouble.

"There's no way around it, there was another riot on the reservation last month, you know the attitude of the House, and of course they're going to retaliate for that. Dan Merson replied that the issue of the reservation was not new this year, and it should not be this incident that made El so uneasy.

"So, teacher, have you ever wondered why they are rioting?" El asked suddenly.

Dan Mersheng was startled, and quickly confirmed that no one was standing outside the door eavesdropping, and he asked in a low voice, "You're not serious, are you?"

But El didn't have any fear of being heard, "The demon spirit only accounts for one-fifth of the empire's population, but it occupies more than half of the empire's social resources, and the richest land in the empire within the Iron Curtain is completely occupied by the demon spirit. ”

"Is this what Ye Zhiqiu told you?" In Dan Mosheng's eyes, the only person in the empire who would say such things was Ye Zhiqiu.

"It doesn't matter who said this, the point is that these words are not wrong, we demon spirits have gone too far from other races, if we don't stop from the precipice, then there will be no room for recovery. El said.

Dan Mosheng was silent for a while, and then spoke, "So you want Ye Zhiqiu to be the prime minister, you want him to help you reform." ”

El got up and walked around the office, sighing, "But he won't say yes now." ”

Dan Merson also sighed, "Yes, he has no reason to agree, but about being Prince Roch's teacher, he didn't refuse." ”

El was stunned for a moment, "Ah, that's good news. ”

"El, what the hell is going on. Dan Mosheng looked at Kong El, he admitted that what El said made sense, and reform was not a bad thing for the empire, but it was too impatient to forcibly put Ye Zhiqiu on the throne and even offend the Lord of the Mountain.

"There's no point in hiding it from you now. El escaped a recording crystal from his pocket and tossed it to Danmerson.

Dan Morson took the crystal suspiciously, the image inside was very blurry, it was a round tower at the bottom of the sea that was already covered with coral, and there was a crack at the top of the round tower in the image, and several people swam out of it, although it was only a very vague skimm, but it made Dan Merson's heart stop beating for a while. "Is it really him?" he didn't notice that his voice was shaking.

El turned his back to him and couldn't look at his expression, and his voice was a little depressed, "This is the image recorded from the bottom of the small star sea four years ago, and the other two family heads saw it on the Shimmer Day four years ago, and the saint is back." ”

The founder of the Second Empire of Turin was the Saint, but it is not the Saint's heirs who now control the Empire. The reason for this phenomenon is an assassination, an assassination called the "Foggy Moon Incident", a farcical assassination.

On July 3, 328, a caveman assassin infiltrated the imperial city through the sewers, he lurked in the sewers for five days without eating or drinking, and finally met the then emperor St. Trans passing by the mouth of his lurking manhole cover, he did not miss this opportunity, launched a suicidal attack on Saint-Trans, but missed, Saint-Trans himself was a powerful spellcaster, he stopped the assassin before he detonated the magic bomb tied to his body, the assassin saw that the assassin failed, and very decisively bit the poison (river crab) medicine that had been in his mouth, leaving no clue, and the matter was also closed.

This assassination was nothing, the assassination of the emperor happened from time to time, especially in the first years of the empire, the frequency of assassins was very frequent, the key is that the assassin dropped a magic bomb, at that time everyone was busy disposing of the assassin's body, no one noticed that a cook picked up the bomb.

The chef's name was Fursage Bessel, an ordinary demon, a full-time chef of St. Trans, he was originally the owner of a small restaurant in the 7th district of the 6th Ring Road of the capital, St. Trans ate his dishes by chance and felt that it suited his appetite, so he became the full-time chef of Trans, but Bessel was a very romantic person, and he felt that the dishes he made should be tasted by more people, not by one person, even if this person was the emperor. But he was just a small person, and everyone took his words as complaints, and no one really thought about his request to go back to the 6th Ring Road and 7th District to be a small boss.

So that night, Bessel detonated the bomb while delivering food to Trans, and Trans was unprepared at the time......

It took a long time for people to figure out why Bessel had assassinated Trans, and everyone had to agonize over the fact that Trans had no descendants or siblings, and that Saint had disappeared for nearly a hundred years because of the Tower of Babel incident.

So with the support of Valhalla, the three families who controlled the three legions of the empire came to the capital, and they formed the Council of the Three Kings in the capital, which has continued to this day, but now, the "Silver Moon and the King of Magic" Saint has returned.

"He is a ruthless tyrant, as evidenced by his betrayal of the Lord of Sword and Blood and the total destruction of the Council of the Alliance, and there is no doubt that he will do something against us sitting in the Council of the Three Kings. "Thankfully, he built the empire, so he won't sit idly by and watch it fall into chaos, so we don't have to worry about him taking some tough measures, as can be seen from the fact that he's been back for four years and hasn't moved at all, but he must have done something." ”

"So you're going to drive change?" Dan Merson asked.

"Yes, this is the counterattack of the Council of the Three Kings, and we have reached a consensus that the Council of the Three Kings will spare no effort to support whatever I do. With that, El straightened his outfit and prepared to leave.

As he put his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly turned his back to Dan Morson and asked one last question, "Teacher, I wonder which side Valhalla will stand on?"

"Valhalla... It has always been only on the side of the Empire. Danmerson was silent for a moment, giving a pertinent reply.

"Yes, then I'm relieved. El smiled back, pushed the door open, and left.

After he left, Dan Mosheng sat down in his seat and couldn't calm down for a long time, he finally knew why Ye Zhiqiu got that prophecy that night four years ago......

Because, he's back......
