honor me as god

Kino's tone was loose, and he directly set aside the code to discuss conditions, which made everyone see hope.

However, at this time, the governors were all dumbfounded, because they found that they had no bargaining chips.

What can they give Kino?
monthly coin?territory?Potion?connections?
In the past, if the order of magnitude was enough, he might still be able to impress him.

But now, every grain of sand in Dogrand belongs to Kino, who is the master of all subjects and the supreme shadow king.

The mere governor, what capital do you have to negotiate terms with him?
Kino raised the wine glass to his lips and took a sip, stretched out his hand and patted Jashan's shoulder, and said calmly: "My child, in the end, it's just a piece of meat that can walk, just reborn with my wife, Remember to teach them to obey the law."

Just as Kino turned around and was about to leave, Jashan suddenly said, "Man!"

Jashan looked at Kino's back, his eyes were burning and urgent: "We can give you someone!"

Kino was silent for a moment, then looked at him with great interest: "Who is it for me?"

Jashan said word by word, "Pious man!"

"We will formulate corresponding policies in the six major provinces to guide the people's concept of childbearing, increase the fertility rate, expand the population more rapidly, and let the kingdom have more and more newborns."

"We will gather the best scholars to rewrite the teaching materials, add more great deeds about you in school books, and let children have the concept of awe of you since childhood."

"We will use all means and energy to do more things in other aspects of society, from the children who have just fallen to the ground to the elderly, we will ensure that every citizen of Dogrand-"

"Respect for
God! "

After Jashan and the others finished speaking, they were speechless and just looked at Kino eagerly.

All the chips have been put out, the only one, the last one.

Kino stood there silently, the light from the candlelight fell on his face, and his amber eyes smiled into crescent moons, bursting out from time to time.

"Dang——" In the crisp sound, Kino stretched out his hand and lightly clinked the wine glass in front of Jashan, and drank the wine in one gulp.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind blows by the warm water lake, and the mansion on the edge of the cliff is faintly visible under the light of distant lights, like a giant hiding in the dark.

Kino walked through the courtyard with the cake and flowers and opened the door of the mansion.

The room was extremely dark, no windows were opened, and the curtains were all drawn. Except for the light coming in from the door, everything else was immersed in darkness.

The moment the door was closed again, it was like a lifeless and dead place.

Standing in the darkness, Kino let out a chuckle after a moment of silence: "Did I tell you that you have the scent of laurel on your body, and it will reveal your location."

"So, if you plan to 'sneak attack' me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Chino walked through the darkness without delay, came to the living room and lit the candles on the cake, placed it on the table with flowers, and left a light kiss on the face of the person sitting next to him: "Happy birthday .”

Solandelle did not return the kiss as usual, she sat there silently, her face under the candlelight looked haggard for some reason, and her voice was low and hoarse: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

...

Kino sat down on the chair at the other end of the table: "Sorry, I was caught by some old foxes
Now, Fei pulled me to drink, and I was so dizzy. Eat cake?I'll cut it for you. "

With a hook of his finger, Kino cut the cake and put it on a plate with invisible thought power, put it in front of Solandelle, and made himself a piece of cake to taste carefully.

Solandelle didn't move, just pursed her lips and looked at Chino quietly: "We need to talk."

Kino shrugged: "Well, what are you talking about?"

Solandelle: "I wish you would stop."

Kino: "What do you mean? Do you drink alcohol? Okay, I won't drink anymore, I promise you."

Solandelle closed her eyes, trembling slightly with her arms around her, as if she was in great pain, and murmured: "I hope you can stop the Global Security Act and let everything go back to 5 years ago."

Chino froze in eating the cake, sat there like a statue, and looked at her suspiciously after a long time: "You mean, you want to abolish all the benefits I give citizens, and let their lives go back to seven years ago , Those who should farm the land, those who should enter the factory should enter the factory, and those who should do business should go back to do business?"

Solandelle nodded slightly.

Kino remained silent, without saying anything, he got up and walked forward, and stretched out his hand to strangle Solandelle's neck again.

His movements were very light, as if he was treating a precious work of art. With a slight force, the person under him leaned back on the back of the chair, and then pressed his lips to her forehead, feeling it with his most sensitive body parts. temperature.

After taking his body temperature, Chino said jokingly, "I don't have a fever either."

Solandelle took Kino's hand and shook her head: "I'm not being coquettish or joking, I'm talking to you seriously
"

Kino frowned slightly, let go of her hand and sat back to her original position, rubbing her fingers on her temples: "You have completely confused me why? Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"

Solandelle lowered her eyes, unable to hide her loneliness: "All this is not what I want to see."

Looking at her face, Kino's eyes became deep: "How can I remember that when someone was 12 years old and hugged me and cried, what did she say at that time—"

"When I grow up, I want to change the world so that no one will suffer from hunger and cold, no one will be displaced, so that there will be no oppression and exploitation in this world, so that everyone can live with dignity. Now all of this, Isn't everything as you wish?"

"Thank you for always remembering my wish." Solandelle pulled the corner of her mouth, and smiled not forcedly, but a little sadly, "People's lives are indeed happy and happy now, but..."

"Do you think they lived with dignity?"

"Give up struggle, give up hard work, and gain without giving, because everything is given by others, so they no longer have any independent thinking, but only return with the most fanatical piety, praying to enjoy everything they have now forever."

Solandelle's pupils trembled, and there was an inexplicable hint of timidity in her voice: "No, do you know who you remind me of now? You remind me of the Sun King"

"Once upon a time, the Sun King was admired by the world just like you, because he is the only head of the gods. In the eyes of the world, both thunder and rain are the blessings of the gods."

...

"In terms of material, the era of
People are also living happily, but the ideological confinement has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the world believes that everything is born because of him and is bestowed by him. "

"In the end, he lost his disguise and became a monster, but the people of the world still surrendered to him. No one dared to resist the atrocities, because everyone's heart was locked—what the gods do is the truth."

In the darkness, Kino's face was shrouded in shadow and blurred, but under the candlelight of the birthday cake, he could vaguely see the pair of amber eyes reflecting the flames: "But you know, I'm not the Sun King."

Solandelle curled up on the chair, as if she had been deprived of all her strength, and her disordered breathing sounded continuously. After a long time, four faint words came:
"I have no idea."

She murmured, her voice was too soft to distinguish: "I have no other luxury, I just hope that all this can stop, let the people struggle, give, harvest, and use their hands to get what they dream of, instead of like This is how it is supported now."

"Even if many problems that have been solved will reappear, it doesn't matter. It's just going back to the original point to find a new path - together."

There was no sound in the darkness, and an unknown amount of time passed. Kino slowly got up and walked to the door. The moment he opened the door, cold wind poured in from outside the house, and the flames on the candles on the birthday cake fluttered and were finally completely blown out by the wind.

Chino: "You've been too tired recently, find time to take a vacation for yourself, and take Lorna on a trip. Good night, Your Majesty the Queen."

As soon as Kino walked out of the door, some emotion in Solandelle's eyes seemed to be broken. She looked at Kino's back and said hoarsely:

"No, I want people to be able to control their own destiny and live in a world without gods—"

"But I hope that there is you in that world."

The door slowly closed, and the light coming through the crack in the door became weaker and weaker.

"Tap." As the door was completely closed, Solandelle was immersed in the thickest darkness.
