Facing the morning sunlight shining in from the carriage window, Sully yawned lazily and truly felt what it meant to be relaxed.

He was almost, just almost, going to be tricked by the Chief Justice and become totally disoriented.

Fortunately, his reaction and instinct urged him to leave the city as soon as possible, otherwise Suli himself was not sure what would happen now.

The feeling of luck still caused his heart to beat faster than usual. Suli took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Egbert, who was driving the carriage, asked Suli, who had just woken up, with a lot of doubts in his heart: "Master Suli didn't decide to return to Sadina so early."

Although the Mercenary City is still under siege by the army, as long as the people in the inner city do not issue orders, those troops are essentially just decorations.

Besides, the city of Sadina was not completely defenseless.

Let’s not talk about the ruling power of Euphia’s father after he was treated, let’s just talk about Dean Asa, the old man with a weird laugh. If the city is really destroyed and the family is ruined, he will definitely help.

From this perspective, "Xia Zuo" itself was also restrained by Deez who was sent to that place. Suli should have had more time to establish a force or intelligence system in Licheng that could cooperate with the Mercenary Alliance at any time.

Egbert couldn't understand.

But Suli told him: "You have overlooked the most important thing."

"That's the book you wrote..." Suli was still embarrassed by this absurd reading comprehension, "It's not just ordinary people who can see that book."

“Ordinary nobles may not take it seriously and do not think it has any practical value, but for truly smart people, what they can see from that book is a complete logical system.”

"While ordinary people can only grasp one or two steps of the logic, smart people can already grasp the tenth step..."

The resources possessed by the nobles themselves already surpass those of ordinary people, and they can only see more.

Another thing is that in modern society, public debates are obviously more brutal than actual wars.

The Grand Inquisitor is clearly pushing the Dark Church to Suli's side.

This action can indeed be understood as a move to expose the Dark Church.

After all, Master Gao Defuli is a good person who stands on the side of the people.

But this matter can also be understood as... the Dark Church, which is of the same lineage as Suli, might have acted under the instructions of Suli, which led to the destruction of so many nobles during the time when the king was stabbed and unconscious.

——Perhaps Suli was the one who ordered the king to be stabbed and fall into coma.

Public opinion is a knife in the hands of the disadvantaged groups.

When the Dark Church can kill any nobles at any time, then the Suli, who are in the same position as the Dark Church, are no longer a weak group.

So how is it possible for disadvantaged groups in a broad sense to trust characters standing on the opposite side of themselves?

Besides, the book edited by Egbert itself has a core concept.

That is, strength is not everything.

Strength does not mean everything. It can prove that the logic of the Dark Church's actions is wrong.

Killing people without reason is also wrong.

Public opinion is weak and the victims are the nobles.

The previous loose sand would instantly be gathered into a rope that is difficult to break under the Chief Justice's move.

Suli and the Dark Church are a group of people. The nobles who are unable to resist can only choose to rely on the other party, that is, the Grand Inquisitor, or to be more precise, the King's lineage.

Although this forced one-on-one situation is not an absolute disadvantage for Suli, if Suli continues to stay in Licheng, he will have to face the situation of being targeted by everyone.

Including ordinary people.

As the saying goes, public opinion is weak.

As long as the nobles are unable to resist the attack of the Dark Church, ordinary people will think that even the nobles are already so miserable, so what can ordinary people like them do to resist the Dark Church?

If Sully runs a step slower, he will have to face the very people he wants to help and the people who hate him as his enemy.

Sully crumpled it all up and told Egbert.

"This is how people react. If you are always blinded by limitations, you will never know where you fall into the same category."

"But there is only one chance, a spark, a tiny ray of light, that can instantly light up an era."

Those who carried firewood for the crowd were frozen to death in the wind and snow.

This kind of tragic scene of beauty and strength does not suit Sully, so he will prevent any bad possibility from happening.

Suli did not have any particular aversion to the fact that the Grand Chancellor was plotting against him, because he really needed to stand on the same side as the Dark Church.

What the Chief Justice wants is for the nobles to be obedient, and what Suli wants is for the Dark Church to become a force to resist "Xia Zuo".

And what the Dark Pope wants is that the Dark Elementalist can live openly.

"So Lord Suli ran away... no, left so early, was it actually because of the conflict between the Dark Pope and the Grand Inquisitor?"

"Because you left early enough, the side we represent is no longer completely tied to the Dark Church. Therefore, the Dark Church cannot occupy an absolutely strong position. Therefore, in the public opinion arena, the Dark Church, the Grand Inquisitor, and the nobles, who are evenly matched, cannot actively turn the will of the third party to themselves."

"No, it shouldn't be just that..." Egbert shook his head and tightened the reins on the horse.

As the horses' footsteps slowed down, he frowned and continued, "Perhaps there is also the fact that if we leave, the Dark Church will be in a weak position in terms of consciousness."

"It is true that all dark elementalists were hunted down before. The war of revenge is justified. As long as the Dark Church can prove that the person they killed is not a good person in the broad sense, and even has done many evil things in private, then the people in the Dark Church will naturally put themselves in a weak position in front of the crowd."

"As for the Grand Justice... He has been guiding the nobles to obey, and I think he can also gain the trust of the nobles through this move."

"Then the people in the Dark Church will just have to show that if they are not treated fairly, they will choose to kill more nobles. With this intention, the Grand Justice will probably have to take the Dark Church's demands into account in the judicial process."

"And in the process of promoting the dark elementalists to have basic civil rights, those nobles will become the ones who actively promote it."

If the nobles do not allow Dark Elementalists to have basic civil rights, then Dark Elementalists are not subject to the restrictions of the law, and therefore the nobles may be killed at any time by Dark Elementalists who want to take revenge on society.

If you don't want to die, you have to obey.

But the nobles would never think that all their actions were part of a plan.

"To put it another way, this is still an exchange of resources between the Grand Inquisitor and the Dark Church, but the so-called resources are various personal connections and influences. And these are also different from the one-sided communication between you and Mavis in the banquet hall..."

"Now, the whole plan is complete." Egbert's eyes were sharp.

Sully clapped his hands, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Egbert was for a moment a reflection of the feeling that "my son has grown up".

In response, Sully seriously affirmed Egbert's words: "All the answers are correct."

"Reality respects the strong, but public opinion always favors the weak. When the concept of public debate emerged, that city was no longer a place for us to stay."

They don't have the home field advantage, nor do they have the individual strength to completely resist the entire city.

Staying away appropriately is the best choice.

All smart people who want to gain a foothold in the world after the changes will adapt to the new logic as soon as possible and adopt this logic in an attempt to overwhelm Sully who came up with this logic.

That's how people are.

When you are blinded, you will always be ignorant; when you are enlightened, the tree of wisdom will take root and sprout in an instant.

Suli didn't think he could outsmart those experienced people, especially since his understanding of this world was definitely not comparable to that of people who had always lived in this world.

So he chose to leave the unsafe city as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Egbert has learned to draw inferences from his mistakes.

Compared to killing the Pope of Light and preventing the Church of Light from continuing to expand its power and influence public consciousness, Sully is more fortunate that Egbert has grown to the point where he can stand on his own.

He could even see the implications of the actions of the Grand Inquisitor and the Dark Pope hiding behind him in the confrontation.

If he were put back to the stage when the Cardinal was initially plotting against him, Sully would dare to bet that the Cardinal would surely die a miserable death.

"It's great that you've grown so much." Sully sighed for a moment.

I still remember that a long time ago, the former Son of Light commented on him as follows... The water in his brain could fill many dry lakes.

Egbert was stunned for a moment. He tightened the reins in his hand, held his breath, and said word by word: "It was Master Suli who explained it to me seriously."

"If it were me, I don't think I would spend so much time and energy to focus on cultivating another person." Egbert lowered his head, and his pink cheeks and earlobes really revealed something.

"It's not cultivation." Suli refused to admit this. He didn't think he was so arrogant. He just said, "I just stood on the shoulders of giants and said a few nonsense words."

And if Egbert had not stopped at the beginning, thrown down a gold coin and turned away, Sully guessed that he and the box might not even weigh five kilograms.

"Just like you are feeling sad now, I will tell you what I know. I will also feel sad. In such a dangerous world, I can live safely until now. Isn't it all thanks to you?"

Suli believes that he can be without money, height or cats, but he must be self-aware.

Egbert quite naturally ignored the "you" in you, he only cared about himself.

"Please rely on me!" Egbert's voice was particularly firm. "Only rely on me!"

Suli was stunned by the tone. After a while, he rubbed his nose and said, "If I didn't rely on you, I wouldn't live in the city. If I hadn't relied on you, I would have chosen to live in a remote corner or village, building a house and farming for the rest of my life."

Although it’s quite confusing now.

The author has something to say:

The last transition chapter made me nervous. Can you understand this chapter?
