Chapter 12: Conversation
Heaton pushed the door open, and saw the massive Gaji.
With waterfall-like blond hair and straight, upturned beard, Vince Mock Gaji restlessly awaits the ruler of the vast empire.
The interior of the parlor is gorgeously decorated, with a red and white cross-leaping lion coat of arms hanging on the wall behind the main throne, which is the symbol of the empire.
Beneath the coat of arms is a single sofa seat that symbolizes the status of the Emperor, and in order to highlight the Emperor's status, it is made of the fur of the super-dangerous species Scoura, and is carved with a unique floral ornament.
On either side are the sofas for the guests, each with a small jade table spaced apart, and a large red blanket in the middle, also made of the hair of the dangerous species of Goergong.
The ceiling is inlaid with several bright night pearls, which illuminate the entire living room.
Hearing the movement, Kaji looked up at the sound.
Heaton frowned slightly, and directly Gaji was like a brown bear sitting on a small bench, a sofa seat that was more than enough for a normal person, and a little mini for Gaji.
Kaji, who was already a little apprehensive in his heart, looked more restrained against the backdrop of the sofa.
Reku Sanji and the others stood in a neat row, and they didn't dare to sit on the sofa without Kaji's order.
Heaton's mind moved, and the sofa under Gaji's ass grew out of thin air to fit his size.
Kaji was a little surprised, but he couldn't care about it at the moment, and immediately got up to greet him, but he didn't know how to speak.
"King Gaji, no need to be polite, you can just call me King Heaton!"
Heaton greeted politely and walked over to the throne.
But Kaji was a little stunned, looking at Heaton's back in a daze.
That invisible imperial temperament is something he has never seen in the pirate world, there are many countries in the pirate world, and during the world conference, the member countries of the world government gathered together to discuss matters, but no one has the imperial power of Heaton.
And what Kaji himself looks like, he knows very well, even if he has the ambition to chase the hegemony of the North Sea, he feels invisibly a head short in front of Heaton.
He remembered what the vice admiral had called the country.
Imperial!
Is this the gap between the emperor and the king?
In order to avoid being rude, Kaji didn't stay where he was and walked back to his bigger seat.
"They're your children?"
Heaton looked at Lei Jiu and the others, fourteen-year-old Lei didn't seem to inherit the genes of her father's height, and now she is only about one meter five, and the three Yin Zhi brothers on the side are about the same as Lei Jiu, only Sanji is slightly shorter.
From Heaton's appearance, Raiku and Sanji's gaze stayed on Heaton, and when Heaton mentioned himself, he immediately glanced at him.
"Yes, they're all children of the Vincemock family."
Kaji briefly introduced a few people, and did not mention the transformation of people.
"Nahasiu!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Take them around the King's Heights, wouldn't it be too boring to listen to us here! What do you think, King Kaji? ”
"Reijiu, take Sanji and them to follow Lord Nahashu, remember, don't be rude!"
Gaji said, a few little kids standing here pitifully do look nondescript, they have already come here, and they don't have to worry about the other party's bad intentions.
In particular, he emphasized Sanji, who was afraid that something would go wrong.
Nahaxiu led the little children out, there was nothing interesting on the King's Heights, but the scenery of the winner was good, especially when looking down at the entire imperial capital, no matter who it was, there would always be an exclamation of amazement.
"King Kaji, there is no special reason for inviting you here today, but the military department found that there was an unknown ship in the East China Sea, and after reporting it, it was only then that it was found out that it was a traveler from another world, and as the host, it was natural to do a good job of the friendship of the landlord."
Invite?
Kaji thought of the countless black barrels he had seen in the East China Sea.
"I see, King Heaton, I have a question, why do you know who we are?"
"Actually, since the appearance of the virtual shadow in the sky, there have been many cases of visitors from other worlds, and at the same time, the empire also has the means to detect spatial passages, so the empire has a lot of knowledge about your world."
"There have been multiple examples?"
"yes, but they're not very friendly..."
Heaton smiled and didn't continue.
"I can understand that pirates in our world are rampant and chaotic, and such a phenomenon will indeed occur!"
Jiazhi's heart is sure enough, but his face does not change.
"Then Your Majesty Heaton, what do you think about the connection between these two worlds?"
"In fact, the empire has been preparing for this for a long time, and the world is not connected but integrated!"
"Fusion?"
Kaji was taken aback, and Heaton's two words were all hard to hit him in the chest.
"It's... What this fusion means..."
"That's right, in five or ten years, or even longer, the two worlds will become one world, interspersed with seas and land, and at the same time, the regular body shapes of the two worlds will gradually adapt and merge together!"
Hearing Heaton's words, Gaji's body trembled, and according to the scene Heaton depicted, Gaji could already predict the chaos.
"For... Why is this happening? This..."
"This is my idea, and the same is the will of the Empire!"
"Peng!"
Kaji stood up excitedly, and with the movement, the two beards trembled.
"You, you..."
Kaji's eyes widened, and he stammered because he couldn't open his mouth.
Heaton just smiled and looked up at him.
The deep dark green child's hole was like a star, and Kaji didn't dare to look at it, so he looked away.
That confident gaze made Kaji feel deeply uneasy, even if he stood up in excitement, he was still so small, he had to calm his emotions and let himself sit down again.
"Your country has mastered such technology!"
Heaton laughed but didn't say a word.
"Yes, Space Mirror and Spirit, it's not surprising that they have such technology! But why? Why do it! ”
"For progress!"
Heaton spoke slowly, continuing.
"The empire spent a thousand years to unify this continent, there are no external worries or internal troubles, and the subjects are happy, but then there is the stagnation of technology, the laziness of the subjects, it can be expected that after a hundred years, the empire will become a country of contentment, and at that time, it will fall apart!"
Heaton roughly reorganized the facts and told them.
It did take the empire a millennium to unify the continents, and just as time passed, the empire was bound to fall into a comfortable environment.
It can be said that there is no lie in what Heaton said, just because Gaji does not understand, even if he understands the history of the empire for thousands of years through the spirit in the future, but he has not experienced the era when the empire fell apart, after all, he does not have a direct impression.
"Like the world government of your world, the empire is also the ruler of this world, the difference is that compared to the power of the world government, the empire has more direct influence!"
With the appearance of the Space Mirror and Spirit, even Alley in the Western Continent can be reached in an instant.
Five years ago, Eilanka became a vassal of the Empire, outlawing their army, and for five years, the Empire eroded it little by little.
Not only have spatial mirrors been established in various cities of Elanka, but also the spirit has also begun to spread.
In less than ten years, the witch regime of Eilanka will be broken, and the people of Eilanka will become Empire.
Without world integration, the empire would truly control the world as the population multiplied, technology developed, and cities expanded.
"I believe in you, the world government cannot be compared with your technology, and the world government also has places that cannot be touched and managed, so the member countries will be elected to facilitate governance and maintain authority."
Gaji is not stupid, and after coming directly to the inner city from the space mirror of the naval base, he really realized the prosperity of the imperial capital.
】
Not to mention the modern style of architecture, just a few schools in the mouth of Lieutenant General Coot, he realized the gap between the two worlds.
There is no concept of a school in the world of pirates at all.
A teenager who wants to study medicine needs to find a famous doctor, and if he wants to strike iron, he needs to find a famous local blacksmith.
No matter what you do, you need to find a teacher and then teach the skills, let alone cultural science.
That's why his identity as a scientist is so precious.
In other words, the people of the pirate world are growing up savagely, so how to develop society in such a situation? Developing technology?
This is also the reason why so many people in the pirate world yearn to go to sea!
And the [Supreme Throne], which was almost on a par with the King's Heights, stood in the research institute, and the mechanical creation like a god made Jia Zhi almost stunned.
Coot told him that it was the mythical Supreme Emperor, almost as powerful as a god, and that no one had ever seen it.
Even so, in front of the [Supreme Throne], he could clearly feel his own insignificance.
He didn't know how to describe the mood at that time.
Envy? Smell a rat? Inferiority?
Neither!
As he continued to march, ascending to the King's Heights and looking down at the entire imperial capital, he understood.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous his idea of conquering the North Sea was in the face of such a mechanical creature.
"Does this mean that with the integration of the two worlds, there will eventually be a war between the empire and the world government, a war that determines the ownership of the world!"
"That's right!"
Heaton replied.
Kaji opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he didn't say it.
He was suspicious that the world government was no match for the Empire.
Although there is no intuitive impression of force in the Empire, the [Supreme Throne] is there, and there are also means to control the world.
What about the world government?
He had already understood that there was an emperor in this world, and that was not weaker than the power of the Devil Fruit.
Counting on the Navy? No, even if he just came to this world, Kaji has already heard of the name of General Estes, and the existence of millions of foreign nations has been destroyed, and in comparison, it seems that the admirals are a little lacking in style.
Counting on the hidden power of the world government for eight hundred years?
Hey, everyone has put the [Supreme Throne] on the bright side, who knows if there is a stronger one in secret?
What's more, the prestige of the world government is getting lower and lower, and they ask themselves, Kaji's feeling about the world government is average.
Jerma is a member country, but there are so many non-member countries?
When the time comes, the empire will provide better treatment, better education, more resources!
So what does the world government have?
A stinky face and a Draconian?
Although things are not compared like this, and we have to fight to know which is stronger and which is weak, but no matter how you look at it, Kaji feels that the world government is rubbish.
"Ahem! What was King Kaji thinking? ”
"No... It's nothing! ”
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much, in the future when the world will merge, there will be no distinction between the two worlds, and the empire also has a benevolent heart, and will not think of destroying all the people from other worlds.
In the future, the countries and peoples of the Inquisitive Empire can also become citizens of the Empire and enjoy the same treatment.
Those who do not obey will be patiently persuaded by the Empire, and will only meet by force when they are forced to do so. ”
Heaton's patience here refers to putting a gun against the other person's head and persuading patiently!
"Those countries, the king..."
"King Kaji, the country that owns the island is not like Jerma, it has the ability to move freely, and the empire has a huge territory, that is to say, there will be some small countries that may appear within the empire's territory, this kind of spatial superposition and coverage is not explainable, do you think the empire can tolerate the existence of these internal countries?"
Kaji shook his head.
"Naturally, since the empire has decrees that favor these countries, these countries will also have to submit to the empire, and in the same way, the previous status and power will also be changed, and the empire will be unified and led."
Kaji nodded, as if he had seen the fate of those who did not know the fate of the king of the heavens and the earth.
"King Kaji, do you know anything about the political system of the Empire?"
Kaji nodded as if he didn't understand and said.
"Through the Spirit, I have read a few articles about the Empire, and I have a general understanding."
"Eight years ago, I eliminated the aristocracy in order to break the monopoly, so as long as you have talent and strength, whether you are in the military, politics or research, as long as you contribute to the empire, you will gain power and status.
After the two worlds merge, those kings and nobles will also gain my respect if they have the means and ability to prove their talents, but if they are all bloodsucking bugs with some wine bags and rice bags, their fate will be no different from those nobles half a year ago! ”
"Hiss~"
Gaji's mood is very complicated, he is not a fool, how can he not understand Heaton's purpose.
He didn't know if he should be glad or how.
Fortunately, the other party is waiting for his position with such gentle means.
But I am unwilling!
He endured humiliation and carried the burden with great ambition to cross the Red Earth Continent to the North Sea, only to find the scene in front of him.
"King Gaji, it will be a long time in the future, and it will take some time for Jerma to return to your world, and the formation of spatial passages is irregular, even with the means of the empire, it is difficult to detect.
But don't worry, as soon as there is news, I will inform you, during this time, whether King Kaji goes or stays, I will not interfere, if you are interested, you can go to the research institute in the inner city to visit. ”
Heaton interrupted Kaji's thoughts and said.
"Aang?"
"After coming to this world, King Kaji hasn't eaten yet, it's just right, it's about the same time now, I'm quite confident in the cooking skills of the palace chef, if you don't dislike it, you can come and taste the dangerous ingredients that are unique to our world, and you don't have to rush to give me an answer!"
