Chapter 433: Lanqi's teaching staff is expanded again
Shinola's desire for answers was written in her eyes, and the poet of great love did not refuse to look her in the face, nor did he deny her.
"Maybe you are right, but maybe that is just the beginning of another catastrophe—"
"Even if the demons regain their status by conquering the Protoss Empire, their desires will soon be unsatisfied, and they will occupy their own territories and begin to develop their power."
"The next step is to seize the territory of other countries. You should understand this process better than me."
The poet of great love tells a story slowly and calmly.
Shinora was speechless for a moment.
She did understand the other possibility that the other party mentioned, and she had witnessed it very vividly.
"For this is the history that has been, and this is the history that will be again."
The great poet added.
"But who says this will definitely happen? We've already failed once. With the lesson learned from the previous time, wouldn't it be better for you to rule us?"
Shinora touched her chest and asked her question again with some excitement.
As a conservative, what she hated most were the demons of the previous generation who were determined to fight the war to the end. What she had been looking forward to for a long time was a new king who could see everything so clearly! Her eyes were filled with some resentment.
What she doesn't want to see now is that the new king has the ability but is afraid to take on the responsibility!
"When you are ready to sacrifice yourself, you are more likely to sacrifice others. This is true for you and me. So, what kind of leader do you expect me to be?"
The great poet seemed to understand what was in Shinola's mind and asked without any hurry.
“…”
Upon hearing this, Shinola swallowed lightly in shock.
She realized that she seemed a little over the top, a little offended, and that it was a contradictory proposition.
Of course, she hopes that the new king will be a leader who is considerate of his subordinates.
At the same time, I hope that the new king will have the most resolute awareness.
This is a greedy and unfair request.
However, the other party did not seem to be angry because of her attitude. He gave her some time to think and did not intend to avoid the real question she had just raised.
"According to what you said, even if I were to control the demons, most other creatures would not think that they had too many resources and pleasures. Once they have the power, they may try every possible means, including extremely cruel and righteous means, to plunder all our resources. At that time, should I expand the scope of my rule until I completely conquer the world?"
The poet of great love then said,
"If you were in this situation, what would you choose?"
He smiled.
"……I have no idea."
Shinola's eyes dodged until they dimmed, and she was unable to answer Lanqi's question.
She could not understand the thoughts of this demon who was qualified to be the new king. He seemed to understand the nature of living things and the rules of the world far better than she did.
The longer she communicated with the other party, the more she realized that she seemed to be one step closer to the real answer. However, the more she knew and the more she thought, the more she felt that she didn't know.
There was silence between them for a long time.
“Humans always imagine the future, and this future should actually make people afraid.”
The great poet's emerald eyes glowed with tenderness, as if he had already thought it through. "But most humans won't be afraid, because they can't understand the meaning behind it, and the same goes for the demons."
"Then we can't do anything... What's the difference between staying here and being in prison?"
Shinora asked, certain that she could not find a conclusion at this moment.
She is now in a most confused state.
She felt that what she had been insisting on for so long might not necessarily be right, but she couldn't find out what was truly right.
“…”
"Don't dwell on the past for too long, and don't expect too much from the future. The past is gone, and the future has not yet arrived. Now--"
The poet of great love was like savoring the warm light that slanted down from the prison cell, with a faint smile on his lips, he paused,
"Seize the present, the most important thing right now is the present."
When he looked at Shinora again, that was the only last word.
"And I will let you have the best present."
Every word of the poet of great love struck Shinola's heart like the heaviest keys of a piano.
There was silence in the cell for a long time.
Shinola stood in the shadows, head lowered.
"I can't understand what you're saying for the moment...but I need some time to think about it. Maybe I can figure it out, or maybe I can't..."
Is it really okay to just let go of the past, break the future, and start over?
There was a sense of punishment in my heart, as if I had betrayed the demon clan.
Antanas, who was standing on the other side, remained silent. She truly felt that Shinola's heart had been shaken.
Antanas was very pleased to hear the child beside her answer Sinora's initial question about the restoration of the country sincerely without using any deception.
Now I just think it’s too annoying.
After just a few minutes of conversation, Shinola was somewhat mind-controlled.
For some reason, the guy next to Antanas seemed to have a unique magic that could reach his heart and conquer him mentally.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Shinola, who is currently confused, is almost there. She is still missing something that will allow her to make up her mind completely and make a decision that goes against all her previous cognition.
What is missing?
As if noticing Shinora's daze and Antanas's inactivity, the Great Love Poet also began to chat with Antanas, leaving Shinora time to think.
"To be honest, whenever I think of Talia living a happy and fulfilling life, I find it hard to imagine the suffering you have endured in Helrom Prison all these years."
The poet of great love whispered to Antanas.
Shinola's ears trembled, and her eyes stared blankly at the poet of great love.
Is Talia doing well?
Judging from this black-haired, green-eyed girl, her father must be good-looking and talented. After all, with Talia's vision, anyone who can make her heart beat must be a one-in-a-million guy.
"If Miss Shinora hadn't wasted these hundred years, she would have lived a better life than Talia. After all, Miss Shinora is much better than Talia no matter how you look at her. She is obviously a popular type of woman. If she has to be locked up for another hundred years... Sigh..."
The poet of great love continued to shake his head and sigh.
“…”
Shinora's slender shoulders trembled.
If I think carefully about the past hundred years, I have wasted my precious time in prison and missed so many opportunities to enjoy a good life.
Compare it to Talia...
I'm so jealous that my teeth are broken!
She couldn't even imagine what kind of life Talia was leading at the moment, and what Talia's husband looked like! "That..."
She finally spoke.
"What's the matter, Miss Shinola?"
The poet of great love tilted his head in confusion.
"Let's go. I want to seize the moment and don't want to waste even a second!"
Shinora clenched her fists firmly and said, her eyes now filled with only the desire for happiness, and she believed that the new king had the ability to fulfill this promise, and that his ideas and concepts were extremely correct.
Although she has not seen the new king's true form yet, she no longer cares. What she believes in is this beautiful soul that is communicating with her.
She had never thought that one day there would be someone so worthy of her loyalty. Even though she was still confused about some things, there was only one thing she was sure of: every minute and every second of communication with him was valuable. If there was no communication and no guidance, she would wander astray again and waste her life.
"very good."
The great poet smiles.
He felt very gratified that he had saved another lost young woman.
“…”
The corner of Antanas' eyes twitched. After seeing it with her own eyes, she kept a little distance from the poet of great love. Now she felt more and more that there was something wrong with this guy.
Is your innate magic brainwashing?
I'll leave it to you to brainwash the Protoss Empire. Shinora's initial demands were actually too conservative, and what you did was the real Protoss evil god.
