Section 237 RAND's New Mission (I)
"That's it, Mr. Cumminnathan, I'm under house arrest and can't go anywhere. Later, my father had a conversation with me, and the family was going to arrange for me to go to a new plane that I had just discovered, to take charge of the affairs of the family there, and they were worried that if my thoughts were known, they would cause trouble. Rand said a little helplessly, "I think I may not be able to discuss and investigate with you like before." ”
"It doesn't matter. "Even if you're not there, I'll continue to summarize and study what we've discussed before to see if we can form a complete system of thought, and everything else seems to be validating my previous speculation." ”
Rand's time under house arrest went by in a hurry, and he was free except for Amber who followed him unmovingly and didn't allow him to leave the house.
Moreover, unless his grandfather and father use their privileges to deprive him of the Arcane Skynet qualifications he has obtained, his communication with Cumminnathan cannot be blocked, but he can't take the initiative to find each other, he can only be found by the other party passively like now.
Cumminnathan already knew that he was under house arrest and might be sent to a new plane to take charge of the family's affairs.
And Cumminnathan's speculation seems to be being verified, and in the face of Rand's imminent departure from Asturias for his new position known as Bethesda, a storm seems to have been set off on the Azure Continent.
The fact that a border lord in Saxon secretly accessed the Arcane Skynet was discovered by the royal family and the Church of Light, and the royal family had no ambiguity and had not yet expressed its position, but the Church of Light sent an archbishop to the lord and asked the other party to dismantle the base station. Severed from Arcane Skynet.
In the past, the edicts of the Church of Light were unfavorable. Only in recent years has the church declined. The authority is starting to erode.
But the result was still unexpected, the lord blatantly detained the archbishop, and claimed that he would no longer accept the interference of the Church of Light in the government, and whether to connect to the arcane Skynet in the territory is the lord's power.
Before the Church could get angry, several Saxon border lords declared their support for the bold rebellion against the Church of Light.
This may seem like an accident, but after discussion between Cumminnathan and Rand, it is believed that a war is about to break out, but on the surface it is the Frontier Lords rebelling against the Church of Light. But in fact, the bold lord and the lord who dared to support him must have support from outside the Saxons, if nothing else, there should be support from Asturias, Aurora, and Titania, otherwise it would be impossible for a few border lords to have such courage.
"The Saxons should be just the first step, I saw the signing of the covenant between the countries on the Arcane Skynet on the establishment of a rock crystal and metal community, there is only one Saxon left, although the Church of Light is powerful, but it belongs to the clergy, if it is regarded as a country. Their territory is only as big as the capital of the church, and in fact, it can't make much waves. Their influence largely lies in their ability to control the Saxons closely, and they can also influence other countries to varying degrees. But later, as the kingdoms underwent a series of changes, the church's influence in the kingdoms waned. If the Saxons are torn apart again, the Church of Light will fall to the lowest point in history, and even become a mascot-like existence. In this way, on this continent, the integration of forces is completed, which facilitates the waging of foreign wars. Rand, I suspect that this new plane that your family has sent you to be responsible for or even surveyed may be the primary target of your kingdom's external expansion. ”
Rand smiled bitterly: "That plane is still secret from the outside world, because I was asked to be in charge of affairs in this direction, so my grandfather gave me some information." It turned out that this plane was actually discovered by Lombana and them, but it was infiltrated by spies sent by the Asturians, thus obtaining the plane coordinates, so that Asturias could also open a teleportation channel to the past. If war really breaks out, will it become the next Emerald Continent there?"
"Rand, I think that the era of free competition in capitalism is over, and although it may still be said in words, it is only a justification for interfering in other planes and plundering others. The community of rock crystals and metals, which I believe is the rudimentary form of a monopoly alliance in which the nations and the capitalists in the countries are united, will be a sign of the development of a monopoly class in the stage of free competition, once completed, or even not to be completed. At this stage, if it is for the sake of his unavoidable cyclical problems, he will expand outward to pass on the crisis. This expansion may be in the form of direct military, or it may be in the form of economy, or it may be in a dual form to achieve the goal, to force what they need. This is a catastrophe for the other planes, they will find an excuse for the completely irresistible planes, and then carry out direct plunder, and then become a long-term source of raw materials and commodity dumping grounds; for the planes that can resist them, not without resistance, they will go around in circles, in the name of cooperation, trade, in the form of economy, under the influence and manipulation of resources and wealth. At this stage, I named the imperialist class. Cumminnathan concluded.
"But what can I do? I can't do anything, I can't stop this from happening. Rand smiled wryly.
"At least we've figured out the rules about it. Cumminnathan continued, "Rand, since you will inevitably go to the Bethesda plane, still act as my eyes, and tell me what you have experienced and observed in the future, so that I can further refine my theory." ”
"That's fine. Rand agreed without hesitation, and then he hesitated and said, "But as for what we can do, you mentioned last time that the only way to end this terrible social system that we have summed up is through armed struggle?" If I plan to do something in the future, I want to make the ills of this system known to more people, and then fight and change it in a way that is allowed by law. ”
"Rand, you can't change anything like this, the law is used by the exploiters to rule the exploited, and you have to use the tools they create to change the ills, or even overthrow their rule, which is impossible to do. ”
"But have you ever thought about the consequences of an armed struggle? Do you know the workers' uprising in Fatori Romee? They were all killed. Rand said excitedly.
"I don't think it can be done without sacrifice if you want to change such a cannibalistic system. Rand. The way you are willing to take is a compromise and a concession. In my derivation, the probability of success is close to zero. Cumminnathan said unceremoniously.
"Maybe. But I'm sticking to my idea now. Rand took a long breath, "Alright, let's move on to my trip to the Beesda plane. ”――
Three days later, Rand, accompanied by seven or eight members of the Hemenez family, traveled to a secret wayway point in the Gate of All Worlds system in the St. Quentin Teleportation Hall, which was the newly established teleportation channel connected to the Beesda plane.
On the other side of the passage, on the northernmost island of the continent of the same name as the beast god Tamriel, this is the most suitable teleportation path establishment point in the coordinates transmitted by the High Elf guerrilla spies.
Because according to the surviving spy's travels. This plane is ancient, powerful, and full of strife, and the power of the natives is not easy to deal with, the only thing to be thankful for is that it seems to be in the midst of strife.
At that time, one of the two spies was killed by Lombana and the others after they discovered their identity, and the other fled all the way from the south to the north of the mainland, and finally chose the island and established a teleportation channel on this side and returned.
Now that the kingdom had established improvised strongholds there, and allowed individual permitted merchants to organize a human force to enter, try to make contact in a commercial way, and obtain specific information, the house of Jimenez was one of those who could enter it in advance with permission
Of course, Rand arrived not only with the seven or eight people who accompanied him. Rather, it is a set of squads, where you can set up a caravan called a caravan. It was actually a branch controlled by Jimenez and had a guard of up to 500 men.
Even so, Rand was still not in high spirits.
However, before stepping into the portal, Jimenez's second butler, the father of Pence, respectfully led two people forward, saying that they were brought by the order of Jimenez, and these two people were going to accompany Rand to the Bethesda plane.
Rand was a little surprised, you must know that this time the action is the business of the Jimenez family, to put it more seriously, and half of it is to give back to the kingdom, his grandfather actually allowed someone to join halfway, the face of these two people is quite large, at least with the consent of the Jimenez family and the permission of the kingdom.
However, he was still shocked when he heard the self-reported name of one of the other parties, and involuntarily said, "You, you are Mr. Aglavin?"
"Yes, Mr. Rand, let my grandfather say that you are young and promising, and that you are the hope of the next generation of the Jimenez family, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to see you today. Solomon laughed, and once again used the name Aglavin, which he hadn't used for a long time.
"This is my good friend, Ms. Brandy. Solomon introduced Rand to the beautiful lady who had accompanied him.
Rand was still in shock, and involuntarily said: "Mr. Aglavin, I am very happy to meet you, but this trip is to a strange huge plane, there is a certain danger, why do you want to follow us?"
Solomon, of course, had already prepared the answer, "Hehe, because I'm about to write a new work, and I've always been inspired by travel." Are you surprised by my entourage, in fact, I can still help a little with my entourage, I have a constant knowledge of language spells that can serve you. ”
The mage can cast a spell that knows the language for himself, and can temporarily realize the other party's words without a master, but if you want to keep this spell constant, it is extremely troublesome, and the language for a certain period of time is only a second-level spell, but if you want to be constant, the difficulty is equivalent to the constant enchantment effect of a high-level spell.
Casting this spell on the arcane sky web is fine for a short period of time, but if you travel to a foreign land, you need a real mage to accompany you.
Rand nodded, "I was really surprised at first because of your youth, because I really liked your novels and the films based on them, but no one has ever seen you, because you never give formal interviews, and if you weren't introduced by your grandfather, I really can't believe that you are Mr. Aglavin, and you should be older than my grandfather."
