"Rand, why are you still here?"

Just outside the Great Council, just as Rand and Aung Zang Zhuoqin were going toe-to-toe, Ben Kaul walked in.

As soon as Ben saw Angzang, he greeted politely: "Yo, isn't this Your Excellency Angzang?" I heard you just came back from the south. ”

"Ah, you're Lord Ben Kaul, aren't you?" Angzang looked at Ben Kaul, "I haven't been back to the imperial capital for hundreds of years, many people don't know each other, you really look like Mr. Kaul, no wonder your family will make you a legend." ”

"Thank you," Ben said with a cold face, "Mr. Klein has something to do with Rand, so let's go first." ”

Ben left with Rand after that, leaving the Angzo where he was.

Rand followed Ben to the teleportation hall outside the Great Council's door, and asked as he went, "This Angzang sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard his name." ”

Ben said expressionlessly: "The empire once had a department dedicated to investigating nobles: the Inquisition, which is the predecessor of the Imperial Division, he is the last chief judge of the Inquisition. ”

Ben's reminder made Lant suddenly realize: "Oh, I remember, Albert and you have mentioned him before, he seems to have offended a large number of nobles, right?". ”

"Yes, in the year 699 of the Emperor God, Aungzang discovered that there was a conspiracy against the southern bank state at that time, involving a large number of nobles, and even led to a confrontation between legends within the council," Ben Kaul did not hide anything about the events of that year.

Later, Mr. Klein personally took a group of legends to the South Shore State to investigate, believing that Hurricane Koper, who was the chief judge of the court at the time, and the investigator Angzang Zhuoqin had insufficient evidence, and even discovered the inside story of Angzang's own collusion with the demons, so he dismissed Hurricane Koper and imprisoned Aozang Zhuoqin.

"Not only that, but their struggle back then also led to a widespread confrontation between nobles and commoner mages, so much so that when the demons rebelled in several colonies in 707, there were almost no legends who went to quell the rebellion."

Speaking of this, Rand asked curiously: "So, Angzang has escaped?" ”

Ben shook his head: "No, later from 709 to 714, the demon tide came, and the fallen demons invaded the empire in large numbers, and a large number of legends and high-level fell, and the empire almost hung by a thread. ”

"Is this a reversal?" Rand was a little surprised.

"In fact, it can't be regarded as a reversal, before the 600th year of the God Emperor, intermarriage with the six-limbed clan was originally regarded by the major families as a means to improve the bloodline. In 600 years, there was a rebellion of the fallen demons of the god emperor, and His Excellency Zhuo Qin fell on another planet, and since then intermarriage with the demons has become a taboo in the empire, but there are still many families quietly marrying with him.

When Koper and Angzang were scouting back then, they were staring at the families that were most closely linked to the demons, and they may not have planned to betray the empire at that time, but once the empire fell into a crisis, it was not necessarily. ”

As Ben narrates, Rand remembers the letter he wrote hundreds of years ago in the salt mines, and he also remembered the marriage contract with the demons found in the secret room of the Padmira Palace, and roughly understood Ben's meaning.

"So, after the real demons launched a rebellion, it proved that what they said back then was right."

"Yes," Ben continued, "the legendary mage Kopel fell in battle with the demons, and Aungzang, along with the legend of the Zhuoqin clan at the time, slew a demon demigod lord and then broke through the legend. ”

"It sounds very inspiring, from betraying one's relatives to becoming a legend in one fell swoop," Rand said with a smile, "and what about after that?" I remember that after the Inquisition Court was changed to the Temple Front Division, the heads of the Temple Front Division were all high-rank, right? ”

"Yes, after defeating the demons, many great nobles were afraid of Angzang's comeback, and they asked the God Emperor to expel him, and at that time, most of the power of the core of the empire was damaged, while Kirislav and the Dragon Kingdom were almost unharmed, and the God Emperor was forced to leave Angzang in the south and isolate himself from the great nobles in the north."

"That's exile to the beach, isn't it?" Rand whispered that before Rand created a new magic furnace, the empire's magic furnaces were concentrated in several large cities in the north, and the southeast was close to the coast, although the products were extremely abundant, the number of magic furnaces was extremely low.

For some of the great nobles of the empire, there was no essential difference between the southeast coast and the northwest galloping horse plain, both of which were on the periphery of the empire.

"I can understand that he doesn't want to see the nobles, but why did he target me as soon as he came back?" Rand was a little puzzled, "I didn't do anything to be sorry for Your Majesty." ”

As the two of them arrived at the magic tower of the Star Society, Ben Kaul said with a smile, "That's what you think you're right, Your Majesty, he doesn't necessarily think so, in his opinion, nobles should be unconditionally loyal to the God Emperor." ”

"Really......" Lan nodded and didn't speak, his thoughts were almost like daydreaming, "But he's also the legend of your Tower of Innocence, right?" Shouldn't you support his point of view? ”

Ben said patiently: "I support the point of view of my teacher Klein, we both believe that the power between the commoners and the nobles, the imperial capital and the locality, should be balanced, neither let the nobles continue to grow bigger and completely cut off the way out for the commoners, nor can we completely suppress the nobles and return the empire to the Dark Ages." ”

Good guys, without the nobility, humans are going to turn into monkeys? Rand silently complained in his heart, "If there is no nobleman, it will not return to the Dark Ages, right?" ”

"You've also been to the goblin ruins, isn't the lesson of the goblin empire that the demigods and righteous gods of the great nobles disappeared overnight?" Ben asked rhetorically,

"According to the records of goblins, once a large number of demigods and high-level goblins fall, demonic beasts, demons, and lizards will wantonly plunder and devour middle and low-level goblins, and most areas of this world are not in the magic turbulence, once the high-level and above powerhouses in the clan are suppressed, the entire population will be coveted by foreign races."

Rand sneered and said: "The nobles have mastered the magic workshop, bloodline inheritance, magic furnace, and magic goblins, and if they move the interests of the nobles, they will shake the entire empire, and the commoner demon supporters are afraid that they will not have a chance at all......"

"My teacher Klein once told me that he had been a low-level teenager in the music capital of the time, and that he was always thinking of replacing the insensitive aristocracy.

However, when he became a legend, he discovered that the aristocracy had a strict set of rules and logic, and the assumptions he once took for granted were very ridiculous. ”

Ben looked at Rand and said with a smile: "You are also a nobleman now, and you are a top nobleman, I hope you can still say those words after you have been king for 100 years." ”

Rand let out a long sigh, "It's not going to be easy, but I'll do my best." ”
