"I really didn't expect you to dare to do such a thing." The speaker was Ophelia, who had not been seen for a long time.
His Royal Highness, who is high above everyone else, is standing in front of the gate of the Gabriel family.
Originally, Ophelia was going to attend the party, but after she found that the actions in the hall caused shock to the people outside the hall, she gave up getting involved.
The accompanying knight explored the general situation in the hall and told Ophelia.
Sully saw the slightest hint of sarcasm on Ophelia's face and responded with a calmer expression.
"No matter how many explanations you give, they are no match for a slap in the face."
Ophelia's face darkened.
Suli glanced at her figure, not ready to discuss with this princess who was currently in the middle of the situation but couldn't see the overall situation clearly.
The Grand Inquisitor's thoughts were easy to understand, and the Dark Pope was not that difficult to figure out either. But if the two of them joined forces to plot against him...
As for those nobles, no matter how stupid they are, they will understand what it means that a man who knows the current affairs is a hero.
The affairs of the city can now be transferred to the Chief Justice as much as possible, and Suli is currently thinking about how to return to Sadina as soon as possible.
Given the choice between his home base and the capital city which is more or less mixed with various risks, Suli would choose the former without hesitation.
hotel.
Roy asked curiously, "Why did you come back so early?"
Egbert shrugged and replied, "If we stay any longer, those people will probably come directly to the king and accuse us of murdering them."
Mavis thought: "It's not that bad yet."
"It's better to have less trouble than more." Mavis glanced at Sully, whose expression remained unchanged.
"It's really ironic for you to say that." Egbert thought about the total number of people in the banquet hall, and after a moment's thought, he felt that at least half of them were seriously injured by Mavis.
If Mavis really wants to take action, except for the Grand Duke whose background cannot be figured out in a short period of time, everyone else will be dead fish on the chopping board.
"Instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about what to do next." Lan Zhe actually didn't care much about Licheng.
He was more concerned about the "Monster Forest" which had already left a deep impression on Sully.
It's like a new world waiting to be explored.
Lan Zhe's curiosity about him was similar to his mentality when he was with Suli.
That place was a completely unfamiliar area, and Suli was like a book with no end.
"Just leave all the extra chores to the Chief Justice."
"We have no obligation to this country."
The reason why Amicbee is Amicbee is more likely determined by the monster than defined by humans.
The people living here believe in God much more than the country.
Suli said calmly, "Perhaps what I am about to say may seem a little cold, but I still want to say that my choice to tell the people of this world some definitions of right and wrong is not for the purpose of salvation. I also don't think it is necessary for me to make such an arrogant definition for myself."
"The decision to tell is just a matter of self-interest."
If you tell humans that there are incredibly powerful monsters keeping them in captivity, then humans will broadly split into two camps.
One would be like him, not wanting to be seen as a pet.
The other may wonder, does it matter whether or not the animal is kept in captivity?
He may even think that his speculation is just speculation. Before the event is proven, it is just irrelevant conjecture.
But the question arises again, does he need to explain to both parties why he did this?
There is no need.
So what he needs to do is not to state it to the people again and again, but to tell them the underlying logic of a way of thinking.
You don't have to put too much burden on yourself.
As for that book that made his scalp tingle whenever he thought about it...
Although the content of Egbert's annotations was indeed outrageous, it still gave the people in this city a new way of thinking.
Therefore, his next priority is no longer to continue to get involved in the chaos between the nobles and the royal family, as the Chief Justice will handle that.
What Suli really wants to do is to guide the city, which symbolizes freedom, in the direction he wants in the shortest possible time when no one dares to act rashly.
For example - to make everyone understand that the nobility and royal families do not have inherent superior value.
And then, development.
The city of Sardina needs adequate development.
Sully almost unceremoniously slapped the label of worrying too much on himself.
Since Cyril's ancestor was a dragon, it means that it is possible for high-level monsters to enter human society.
A humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb, and an intelligent life form with obvious deviations from human consciousness... When Suli thought of those monsters that might enter human society, he felt like an invisible knife was on his neck.
As for the cooperation between the Dark Church and the Grand Chancellor... after this banquet, I think it has been achieved.
Suli thought about these things and simply expressed his thoughts.
The first question asked by the crow was: "If there really is such a dangerous high-level monster, what would you do?"
Suli answered without hesitation: "Due to the selfish nature hidden deep in human blood and soul, if faced with such a situation, I would just try my best to nip all dangers in the bud."
"Truth exists only in the shell, and so does the right to speak."
Before the knife on his neck cut his throat, even if he was so weak that he was born at the bottom in the other world and was attacked by anyone and sent to see King Yan, Suli would make sure to bite the enemy before he died.
"Of course." Suli tapped his head, his expression calm. "Just like humans will be divided into two camps when facing the facts, I don't think all monsters want to destroy humans."
"This may make it possible for humans and monsters to coexist peacefully..."
"But this does not mean that we are qualified to have an equal dialogue with monsters."
Human rights, while being crushed by social rules, are also being overturned by another species.
Sully doesn't think there's anything good about this phenomenon, but he's no longer afraid of it.
He told Du Ya in a serious tone: "I am probably the type of person who doesn't care much about dignity. At least I never got angry when those people called me a piece of shit. But even though I don't care about this, I still care about the rights that I deserve."
“And then there’s the thing: I hate trouble.”
Whenever Suli thought of the various complicated matters among the nobles, he wished he could go back to Sadina City and fight with "Xa Zuo".
He didn't want to stay in this city anymore.
Therefore, we must run away before the Grand Inquisitor and the Dark Pope can react.
Suli thought of this and started packing his luggage.
When the others were confused, he said: "Standing on the same side as the Dark Church and being regarded as an irresistible enemy by many nobles is certainly part of the deal and cooperation, but it will also become the source of the dispute over the royal heir."
"For example, can Ophelia use the fact that she has a grudge against us to unite with other noble families?" Egbert asked.
"And by the way, you can overthrow the king and take the throne yourself," said Suli.
"Don't underestimate the princess. Even though she doesn't have many cards in her hand, she is very good at making use of everything she can."
"The difference between what Ophelia had before and what she doesn't have now is really not that big. Moreover, in terms of using the information gap to create an advantage, even I can't think that she can definitely win."
What does Ophelia have?
She needs strength, but she doesn't have it; she needs connections... She's the Pope's own daughter, what relationship does she have with the king?
But she almost became queen.
The Pope is dead, and her biological mother chose to commit suicide for love. The Church of Light is no longer a source of pressure for her, and as long as the so-called poison does not kill her, Ophelia still has countless possibilities to turn the tables.
"And, I have a vague feeling that the Chief Justice still maintains an absolutely neutral position."
Roy: "Does that mean the old man has been staying out of it?"
Mavis: "And the idea that you don't care who sits on the throne."
"But these things are not within our scope of concern. I think it's better to return to Sadina City earlier. After all..." Lan Zhe fixed his eager eyes on the crow.
"There's no way in Licheng that we can fight this crow with all our strength."
Crow: ...
Without actual combat, the increase in strength will only be like the accumulation of illusory elements.
A crow that thinks he will break through the concept of a level 9 monster...
In Lanzhe's opinion, it can be equated with the experience bag of walking.
"Then let's go tonight." Suli said decisively.
Sully had no regrets about pushing all the complicated affairs of the city onto the Chief Justice.
I even feel like I haven't done enough.
The Grand Chancellor is very good at calculating people, and the Dark Pope’s thoughts are probably not much different.
There are two of these old and cunning guys.
Comparing these two with the deceased Pope of Light, Sully couldn't measure their strength, but in terms of brainpower, there was really not much difference.
If he continued to stay in this city, Suli always felt that he would be schemed against until he would be left with nothing but shoes.
So he came to the hotel early in the morning to tell Suli that many nobles, influenced by the banquet yesterday, had already taken the initiative to compromise with the king and would provide economic support to vigorously promote the development of industry. At this time, the hotel staff told him: "The people living here left the city overnight."
Chief Justice: ???
I never expected that.
In theory, Sully will stay here for at least another week.
During this time, the Chief Justice would use the natural pressure that Sully brought to the nobility during his existence to strip those fat sheep who knew nothing about the truth, skin and bones.
What a pity…
On the way back to Sadina, Suli sneezed and said decisively, "There is an 80% chance that the Grand Inquisitor is talking about me, and the other 20% chance that the Dark Pope is praising me."
reason?
After Sully left, the Chief Justice would be more restrained in oppressing the nobles, even if he still used Sully's excuses.
And for the Pope, his restraint is the best time to promote the law that dark elementalists should be included as citizens of Amicbee in the short term.
Unless the Chief Justice wants to see the fat sheep turned into useless bones before it is skinned and boned.
