The hero hall is quiet for a few seconds, and everyone is thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
Rumba didn't talk, but he looked at Thales and couldn't hide his shock.
cost.
Is this boy…
No, how did he know how he would understand…
Even these things that the Grand Dukes who have been immersed in power for a lifetime can't see…
The hand of the black sand Dagong again unconsciously tightened.
"What are you talking about?"Tluedida bit his teeth, his eyes stalking back and forth between Rumba and Lecco: "What revolution, what is the price?"
Thales bowed his head and looked at the JC dagger who was lying on his knees and lying quietly on the floor.
His eyes drifted into the distance.
His teacher, Gilbert Caso's personal letter, suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Eckstedt's special political system…It’s different…King Nunn is outside the king’s identity…It is also the grandfather of Dragon Clouds City…The interests of Eckstedt and Walton’s interests are very different from him…]
So it is
You are not only talking about the King of Nuen, but also every Grand Duke.
The interests of Eckstedt Kingdom are very different from those of the Grand Dukes themselves.
Thank you, Gilbert.
I’ve got it!
Thales looked like a torch, and swept through the family emblems of the big men, faintly speaking:
"Like with silver chains…"
"Ronnie of the Knights…"
"Ole Xiu of the Shawen Ancient Emblem…"
"Trudida, the shining blade…"
As he was a little bit, the Grand Duke turned their heads and looked at the prince of the foreign country.
I don't know when it started, their habit of ignoring the boy has completely disappeared.
"The reason why you are willing to cooperate with Lombard, even at the expense of concealing sin for him," Thales whispered: "It is to defy the threat that has not yet formed and guard your future before the stars are strong."
The prince sighed and immediately became serious: "But believe me, before the equivalent of Eckstedt and Stars Kingdom, and finally end up with grievances…"
The big men looked at Thales intently.
Only Lombard, he stared at the sword in his hand, and his attention seemed to be completely attracted by Sabre.
"Those who cherish the value of the family, the blood of pride, the status of lofty and noble, the land that is painstakingly guarded, and the long-standing rule…"There was a glimpse of Thales' eyes, which turned into a firm flame.
Just listen to him unquestionably: "All that you are enjoying and accustomed to will be completely annihilated and will cease to exist."
At that moment, the breathing of the big men was stagnation and the eyes were wide.
It was like hearing the most ridiculous news.
The voice of Thales continues to sound: "From the moment you accept Rumba, your respective family…There is no such thing as a future. ”
With a soft bang, the brazier in the hall was extinguished again.
The thick chill came from the air.
Selma, who was cold, hugged her body.
Oller suddenly opened his mouth and exchanged his eyes with Tluedida. Lecco slowly sighed and seemed to know something.
Rumba closed his eyes.
An unspeakable emotion came from his chest.
"Speak clearly, boy."Ronnie’s grandfather reached out and touched the scar on the neck that was drawn by Croce. The wound poured with the spirits still had pain. He said awkwardly: “What is it that no longer exists?”
The family blood that has been passed down for hundreds of years, even thousands of years, is enough to stand up against the vast territory of a country…
How come?
Thales breathed a sigh of relief and watched it create a white fog in front of him.
"Once you have followed the rumba South, and the oath of war and the interests of all, before wars and benefits, your balance of power must be unbalanced, to bring your conflict is simply too easy," Thales said: "In your self-thought suppressed the stars, the beginning of fighting moment, is he quietly began to change the time– It's not just about building a Eckstedt startlight corps. ”
He suddenly felt a little dizzy.
It is the familiar feeling.
"I don't know how much Lumbara told you about the sages," the prince moved his hands and placed hot in front of his chin: "But…"
“Efficient management, fine power, increased taxes, and regulated systems,” Thales's vertigo is getting heavier. He has to stretch his right hand and press his forehead while closing his eyes: “These are at a price. of."
At the moment of closing his eyes, he seemed to have left the hero hall.
In front of it is a row of familiar white tables and chairs with seven or eight laptops, and their respective owners are sitting quietly.
He cleared his throat and lowered his head, and his hand was printed neatly.
[So, in his view, as a transitional period from the old feudal rule to the absolutist rule, the hierarchical state was formed at this time…]
Qi Wuren's voice slowly sounded, gentle and dull.
[The city is an autonomous political whole, an aggregate of powerless people who want to unite according to their wishes. As a new political force, they enter the Lord-vassal model, making the typical feudal relationship no longer A purely dual power framework – in other words, the rise of the city supports the rulers against feudal princes…]
The next second, Thales opened his eyes and returned to the Dragon Clouds City in the Errol world, back to the dim hall in the brazier.
“Whether it is a professional bureaucrat, a qualification or a country is a meeting, it means…”
“First, in the city and in the suburbs, low-level aristocrats and civilians,” Thales glared at his forehead and shuddered. “The best among them…Will be wrapped in money, crafts, knowledge and desire for the future, stepping on the ladder of the new aristocracy…The king will be delighted with their arrival, and their powers will be pointed at the arm, pointing to his vassals. ”
Tluedida dropped his head thoughtfully.
The light and shadow in the hall changed again, and Thales sat in the bright classroom again, moving the mouse and keeping his mouth.
[The city group will form a new political institution with a level meeting as an example. The monarch is interested in taxation. They intend to supervise the use of this tax, thus financially suppressing the power of the feudal aristocracy…]
Thales resisted the dizziness of the virtual transition between the two scenes, continuing to painfully:
"In the case of the stars, the new stage of political participation will encompass such groups as handicrafts, commerce, the army, the new aristocracy, which will be the home of the king, and greatly weaken the power and prestige of both the Grand Duke and the Earl of the city, both in tax law and in war, and the king will have the greatest convenience." ”
Hearing this, Olsiu Dagong couldn't help but cast a look at Lombard.
[European universities are the earliest nutrients: the German monarchs hired these college students as officials in order to shape bureaucracies, and the highest efficiency of Prussian military_bureaucracy and civil_bureaucracy, but not for serving the people, but merely serving the country, That is the service power…]
"More and more new officials will enter the king's vision, their qualifications will replace your blood clan, in order to carefully combat general, with professional coverage, gradually took over the authority of the state," Thales breathing, experience a piece of memory fragments into the brain of the strange feeling, think of the former star of Woolard called the tax collector: "So the old nobles, including your relatives, are no longer being reused, and they are gradually deprived of their tax and judicial privileges, and even you have to admit that they are no longer in office." ”
Lecco was sitting still in the motion and listening quietly.
"What the citizens are asking for is to establish a ruling condition and a legal environment to ensure that the business and economic development of the city is a peaceful rule of order, which is not satisfied by the feudal feudalism based on the manor economy and the small market, which requires the rulers to expand power and centralization to ensure the interests of the so-called" bourgeois … 】
"Likewise, the king will allocate assets from an increasingly abundant treasury, support and expand the standing army, defend the internal order and the security of the border," Thales slightly flash, and Selma hastened to hold him: "He will no longer rely on the conscription of your land, and no longer rely on the self-sufficiency of your estates and fields, No longer look at the faces of the big boys. ”
Ronnie suddenly remembered the Broken Dragon Fortress, and he frowned deeply, watching Thales' eyes look strange.
[With the development of time, the feudal aristocracy in the hierarchical state is difficult to maintain its life and lose its military significance. It can neither maintain political influence nor lose its ruling power. In this case, they must move closer to the ruler and perform their duties in accordance with the latter's conditions—that is, the rise of the city, which has brought a devastating impact on the feudal system…]
Finally, those strange pieces settled down in his mind, no longer making waves.
Thales gasped slightly and patted Selma's hand.
At that moment, he suddenly discovered that Lombard looked at him with a strange look mixed with surprise, doubt, pain, hatred, relief, and so on.
The prince looked back at his opponent and sighed in the bottom of his heart.
Compared to the inexplicable magical power, compared to the unsuccessful sin of the prison river, compared to this strange body, compared to the unstable princehood…
This is me, when I was playing this game…
The biggest golden finger.
Chaman Rumba.
Compared with unrivalled military strength, invincible skill, and superb wrist.
This is our strongest piece!
"Do you feel it?"Thales continues.
"Once this change goes on time, whether it is the Grand Duke of your side, or the traditional counts of the cities, from taxation to the military, from the judiciary to the talent, from privilege to status," Under his face, he turned his head hard and looked at everyone:
"The premise that you rely on to make a living will slowly melt away, and the advantages will gradually disappear."
"All the means and changes envisioned by Lombard, regardless of the original intention, will point to a result."
Thales took a deep breath and said: "And that is you – you are the other nine of you who have a great reputation and rule the North, and that is the beginning of your loss of power and decline of the family."
The Lombard Grand Prix is sinking, and the look at Thales has become more and more complicated.
Dagongs are motionless like Shisu, and they don’t know how much they listened.
"One day, you will change from a big vassal on one side to a big lord with only glory, and then become a rich man with only wealth, and even become a devotee, and finally fall to the dust of only future generations. The day when the ash is over the family history…"
"And guarding Eckstedt for six hundred years without splitting, stipulates that the ten Raikaru vows of the Great Public Governance will become the oldest page history in the museum," Thales sighed deeply and shook his head:
"Like your family, it will slowly yellow over time and will never return."
"This is the price that Lombard calls "save Eckstedt"."
Thales finished his words and slowly raised his head.
At that moment, the Grand Dukes finally recovered from the state of Shisu, but the look of everyone was incomparable.
Rumba bowed his head and looked at his old sword.
Unbelievable Tluedida cast a questioning eye on Oller and Ronnie, but the owner of Weilan’s collar just shook his head silently, and the lord of the far-away city simply sinked his face and ignored it.
"Chaman," Laco's gaze seems to have returned to turbidity. The old man used his lowest and hoarse voice today: "Tell me, all you want is an army that can beat the stars, isn't it?"
"Don't think about other?"
"For example, a joint oath?"
The eyes of the Grand Dukes shot to Lombard.
a second
Two seconds
The eyes of Dasha Dagong finally lifted from his sword.
He first smiled and then turned cold.
"What this boy says is based on a lie with a strong sense of selfishness," said the complex expression of the rumba: "As long as there is a little doubt in your heart, he wins-to provoke the grudges between us, to dismantle our efforts to fight the stars, for the increasingly powerful stars Kingdom set aside a breathing machine! ”
Thales sighed silently in his heart.
"Abandon his a lot of confusing words, aside from all his assumptions that are inexplicable and never happened – don't you feel ridiculous?"Lenba bit his teeth, as if he had been insulted. "For Eckstedt, the great people are united as one, and the south is a common star. Is it the root of our self-destruction?"
The Dagongs listened to the words of Rumba, and they looked suspicious and began to think about it.
Selma looked at the reaction of the Grand Dukes and was shocked.
Just at this time.
"Inaccurate."
The prince’s words came steadily.
Rumba frowned: "What?"
"'We're self-destructive?"Thales spit out a sigh of relief and said: "There are only nine other people who have died."
"In this rumba-initiated game of change, Eckstedt is like a dragon with 10 heads, devouring each other in a raging wave," Thales sighed: "If it goes well, only one of the heads, that is, the most powerful, ready to the most adequate, the most suitable to the Bureau, The most responsive of the great male, can survive to the end. ”
Grand Lecco suddenly looked up and stared at Thales.
Ronnie’s grandfather looks a glimpse.
"As I said above, he will take power as the last ruler, and through the transformation of the general trend, the other nine large public servants will be swallowed up as nourishment and food, thus creating their unprecedented and supreme Eckstedt special. crown."
Thales' eyes are covered with the haze of ordinary people, and he is dull and boring: "Do you think that the only person, the person closest to the truth, who will be in Lombard's plan?"
He looked at the expressions of the big men, shook his head gently, walked around the brazier that had just been knocked down, and slowly squatted.
The prince put his hand into the cooled firewood and fiddled with the thrown dagger.
"But no matter whether Lombard will succeed, the new Eckstedt special country, except for the last ruler," his words continued to be heard, hammering in the hearts of several Dagong: "There will be no more The place where the nine people are based."
Thales shook the JC dagger, and the face was unrecognizable. The sleeve that Yodel gave him from the belt was gently blown.
"Please remember, you, maybe a dozen years, maybe decades, maybe a hundred years…"
"But if there is one day, your family will fade away, your descendants will be displaced, and your status will cease to exist," Thales slowly stood up and turned to the Grand Dukes:
"That must be from today, starting from the conditions you promised to Rumba."
Thales' eyes brightened and he inserted the dagger into the sheath: "Hey!"
In the crisp metal friction, the big men were sullen and looked at him motionless.
"That's the answer," Thales said. "That's why Lombard didn't want to show you the real motives at first. It's he who has no hesitation to gather the cruel truth behind your 'Save Eckstedt.'"
"In order to defeat the stars, Lombard and you are united," he whispered his words: "But ironically, just before defeating the stars, you will be smouldering."
There was another silence in the hall.
"Chaman, I have to say, this is really…"The unbelievable Tluedida stopped talking and finally sighed: "Forget it, I don't know how to say it."
“It’s really disturbing.”Ronnie’s grandfather coldly added his words and looked at Lecco, who headed for the first time—the latter just frowned and said nothing.
Oller’s grandmother held his chin on his chin and opened his mouth with difficulty: “Chaman…”
But Lombard's words are faster than him.
"All the rumors that have nothing to do with the letter, all things that have never happened, are all alarmist speculations!"
"But he was used as a reason? And do you really believe it? ”The voice of Dasha Dagong is still cold, but I have already heard the irritability: "Don't forget, the threat of the stars is really true!"
Rumba strode forward and put his hand on the square table. It was like ice and snow: "What we saw and heard 12 years ago, what did King Kessel do in the past 12 years, don't you see it in your eyes? ?"
"Why do you prefer to be shaken for vain words, and not to act for unmistakable facts?"
The person answering him is still Thales.
"A sure fact?"The prince is secluded.
This time, Rumba turned his head, and all his eyes were full of resentment and killing.
Thales didn't care about his eyes. He whispered, "Hello, if you attack the stars successfully, what do you want to do after Lombard?"
Dagongs look at each other and their emotions are unknown.
Rumba's eyes condensed and clenched his fists.
"He wants the stars to the north."Grand Danny Ron gently opened his mouth.
"He wants to guard the frontier for us, monitor and suppress the stars," Ronnie's words are slow and cold, but full of strength: "To this end, whether it is a joint throne, or even a black sand collar, he can give up."
Thales exhaled a breath.
"This is simple."The prince showed an unsatisfactory smile and stared at the sturdy Rumba: "His Lord Dasha, if you feel that my words are unreasonable, then prove it with unmistakable facts."
"I think that in your own land, in the country of Eckstedt, change must be difficult or even no progress."
Lombard lived.
"But the north is different."
"For the stars, the north is just an unfinished area of change, and traditional power and stereotypes are still on its way, but for Eckstedt, the northern region, where human customs are more similar to the north, from the small tax collectors of woolard to the beginning of the declining aristocracy, has begun the prelude to change. , is the best base for change-and the source of hope for you to ignite the fire of change. ”
Just listen to Thales and faintly said: "Lord of Lombard, for your unity, give up the loot of the Northland – let others."
Rumba looked up and looked at him.
The big men also looked up and looked different.
Thales is still a cloudless expression – this is learned from Raphael, the attitude of the little white face is always mad.
Slyes complained that the many conditions that Rumba gave him, whether it was a tariff concession or a resource contract, excluded the North.
Isn't this obvious?
"Of course, you can also make a guarantee," Thales tilted his mouth and continued: "I am also trying to emulate the change of Yinjun, and it is good to endanger the Dagong family…It won't happen in your hands. ”
"In this way, there is no soil and opportunity in hand, and it is impossible to pick up the changes that may bring disasters to the top. You will clear the suspicion," Thales said. "The other Dagong can rest assured to continue to work with you." ."
As soon as this statement came out, the longest silence was ushered in the hall.
Rumba is in the same place.
His hand unconsciously rested on the hilt and did not move.
The Grand Duke exchanged information in each other's eyes.
No one is moving or making a sound.
A cold wind poured into the hall, and the light flashed, and the shadows of everyone swayed.
Selma bit his lip and looked at the big men who looked different.
Finally, just like centuries, a voice broke the silence.
"In fact, we are willing to believe in you, Chaman," said the sulky voice of Leko's grandfather: "But I have to admit that this child's words made me very worried."
Tluedida shrugged: "There is some truth."
Rumba gently looked up, and under the shadow, the stiff face was even more vicissitudes.
"Tell me, Chaman."
"As our swearing alliance, in order to refute the words of this arrogant prince, in order to put down their worries and worries, in order to confirm that we are still moving forward and reunifying," Leko dad directly looked at Lombard and sighed gently: "In the coming war Middle, north…"
"You don't want to take it."
Rumba didn't talk, just staring at Lecco.
"Of course, we will use a considerable amount of land and benefits to make up for you, to express our apologies———————————— ”
The voice fell.
Rumba looked up and swept through each of the Grand Dukes with the most incredible gaze.
Thales picked up his lips and looked at Lombard.
Looked at him as if he was frozen.
Rumba clenched his teeth, his brow furrowed, and his anger broke out in his eyelids.
"I know, this is too much, but," Oller's face is not good-looking. He shook his head with apology: "I swear, as long as you prove yourself, I will do it myself and let the star's snake pay the price."
Star's poisonous snake?
Thales raised his eyebrows slightly.
Rumba's face twitched gently, like a smile, not like a smile.
"You know," said Ronnie Rodriguez at this time, his eyes sharp: "This is for Eckstedt."
Rumba clenched his fist.
Tluedida shrugged and avoided the look of Lombard and said nothing.
Only Lecco, from the beginning to the end, never looked back and looked at Lenba.
"How, Chaman," the bald head of the old man looked particularly glaring. His voice was very light and slow, but he had an aggressive attitude: "Your answer?"
Rumba opened his lips and bit his teeth, like a beast before the food.
"Chaman," Tluedida's tone is very contradictory. It seems very nervous. He gently licks his lips: "One word is enough."
Thales frowned: he saw the fist of Rumba's waist began to tremble.
The face of Dasha Dagong is getting more and more ugly – just like a lion who has been invaded by the territory.
Thales' heart also followed his expression.
Finally, after a few seconds, Rumba closed his eyes and took a long breath.
The grandfather stared at him intently.
It seems that it is the most important moment in the world.
The next second, Rumba opened his eyes and opened his mouth.
But it is not a word.
"Hahaha!"
Rumba looked up and opened her lips, sending out a sad and sad laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha ha…"
The laughter is getting bigger and bigger.
The big men looked at his performance and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Thales gently reached out and held the sorcerer Selma.
Rumba’s laughter finally stopped.
"Forget it, this time," Rumba turned his head. He showed an indifferent expression: "In fact, you already believe him, aren't you?"
"You are not only staring at the north…Even if we hit Eternal Star City," Black Sands turned around and looked at his sword. The tone was cold: "You will continue to monitor me and be alert to my every move, for fear that I will shake your interests. ”
Oleux was not willing to bite his teeth: "So, your choice…"
"I just thought it was ironic," Rumba's face changed and suddenly increased the volume: "Why don't you understand?"
"The bright and rare opportunity is in front of you, clearly defeating the stars, and the opportunity to change history is within reach." Lombard clenched his teeth and looked at the heavy expression of every big man. He suppressed his voice: "Why are you acting?" Like a coward?"
Rumba turned sharply, facing the four grand princes, his face was incredible: "The ending has not happened yet, things have not reached the final step, just listening to a child's big words, you are like a group of frightened Like an antelope, the antelope hides its head and hides its tail."
Dagongs look at each other and talk without words.
"A child's rumor can make you afraid of being like this…"
Rumba’s face was twisted and he jerked up the scabbard: “The co-administration of the vows, the destruction of the family, the severance of the blood, the impaired power, the decline of status – this is what the fuck is!”
"Eckstedt, what is it in your eyes?"
“Are we not Northlanders?”The black sand big man bit his teeth, waved the scabbard, and drove the cloak: "Don't ask 'can', just ask 'do it' or not – fear the failure is more than the Northlanders who fear death!"
"Is not it!"
His painful and difficult questioning voice was spread in the hall.
"It seems that the results are very clear."Grandpa Leko sighed and closed his eyes.
Tluedida grabbed his forehead and sighed long.
Ronnie gave a faint chuckle.
Oller is sorrowful.
Thales gently closed his mouth, only to feel that the boulder that pressed him in his heart had loosened.
He looked at Rumba, who had an abnormal expression in the field, and gave a sigh of relief, silently in his heart:
This round is finished.
