bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 473 Shadow Slave

"Your Majesty Simeng should have understood that after becoming king, kings will have the possibility of stepping onto the altar of gods."

The blind attendant continued.

"Some countries are very secretive about this. As far as I know, the king of the Principality of West Asia has been entangled with the power of the church for many years, and Simeng... Excuse me for being frank, I don't know why, but in Olima's opinion, the monarch of Simeng seems to have never truly ruled the country."

What he said was very bold. Han Dongwen suppressed his dissatisfaction and tried to understand him.

Although what he said was unpleasant to hear, it was not wrong.

Before me, it is conceivable that many political affairs remained at the level of the Three Departments. If I had not promoted the intensification of conflicts after taking office, so many things would never have been put on the table for discussion.

Seeing that Han Dongwen didn't say anything, the blind attendant continued: "As for Blood Harbor, it cannot be considered a real country. The people there do not have faith in the land they live on, and a true king cannot be born there."

He took a deep breath and became more serious: "And these problems don't exist for Olimar."

"Olimar has a long history, even as long as Taka. Since the first emperor, Olimar has not allowed religion to plunder the love of the people. Our king has absolute power, and no religious force can influence state affairs. This makes the king's decision-making more independent and efficient."

"In addition," the blind attendant's voice became low, "the people of Olimar can all own slaves. Slaves occupy an important position in our society. They undertake labor in exchange for the protection and support of their masters. Our king believes that slavery can ensure the stability and development of the country."

Han Dongwen nodded as he listened. He also understood that in some cases, this system could indeed bring short-term economic benefits and social stability.

"you mean."

He asked his attendant, "In the eyes of Emperor Selius of Olima, are these conditions more suitable for him to ascend to the altar?"

"Yes."

The blind attendant nodded, pointed at himself, and then raised his hand respectfully in the direction of Amira: "I am not just Princess Amira's attendant, I am her 'shadow slave'."

"What do you mean?" Han Dongwen asked.

"A so-called shadow slave means that we were born into the world at the same moment. Olimar believes that a person's birth and death are predetermined by heaven, and the concept of 'moment' is particularly important. Princess Amira and I were born at the same moment, and my family has served the royal family of Olimar for generations. Therefore, I was chosen to be Princess Amira's shadow slave."

Han Dongwen thought for a moment: "If the conditions are so harsh, then not everyone can have a shadow slave, right? Is it a royal privilege?"

The attendant shook his head: "Not all royal families need shadow slaves. Princess Amira was the sacrifice for Emperor Serius to ascend to the altar. She will bear the price of becoming a god in place of her biological father."

"Sacrifice?"

Han Dongwen was stunned and thought of the children in Blood Harbor who were called "materials".

It turned out to be a sacrifice… It seems to be just a different way of saying it, the word “sacrifice” is more direct.

"Emperor Celius loves his daughter very much. Therefore, since Princess Amira was born, the emperor has set about finding and selecting shadow slaves for her, hoping that the shadow slaves can replace Princess Amira as a sacrifice for Emperor Celius to ascend to godhood."

Han Dongwen nodded: "Let me guess, everything is messed up, Princess Amira is dumb, you are blind, and Emperor Seleus himself can't ascend to the altar?"

The servant's silence confirmed Han Dongwen's guess. Amira came forward and bowed slightly. The servant continued:

"After learning that the king of Simong defeated the attack of Blood Harbor and seemed to have successfully ascended to the altar, Emperor Selius believed that your majesty had accomplished a great cause that the great emperor could not. Olimar is willing to exchange Princess Amira's marriage for the help of your majesty and Simong so that Princess Amira can have a normal life."

"Is this so..."

Han Dongwen answered without comment. He looked at Amira. If it weren't for this incident, she would have been a perfect princess with bright looks and sweet voice, enjoying wealth and glory in her own country.

Is that right?

Han Dongwen couldn't believe it.

It's just that she can't speak. If he was willing to marry his daughter to another country as a concubine just to make her speak, did Emperor Seleucus really love his daughter as much as the servant said?

"What else?" Han Dongwen asked.

His meaning was clear. He had sensed the untrue part of the story simply by intuition. So, as a premeditated political move, it was impossible for Olima not to realize that this statement was not convincing enough.

Amira looked at Han Dongwen, raised her hand and continued to write on the servant's back.

"besides……"

The blind attendant continued, "Also, Your Majesty, we hope to obtain specific methods to ascend to the altar through cooperation with Simeng. We know that there is a deep conflict between Simeng and Blood Harbor, and Olimar also hopes that through this cooperation, we can restore our order and stabilize our country."

  Before Han Dongwen had time to frown, the attendant quickly added:

"Of course, of course, Your Majesty, not now. Please believe that we understand Si Meng's concerns and will never dream of obtaining the secret of becoming a god now. However, if it is possible in the future, or if Si Meng needs Olima, a country that is more suitable for becoming a god and more likely to succeed, to become stronger through becoming a god, Your Majesty, please do not consider this possibility."

That’s good enough, Han Dongwen thought.

Although they don’t know what more powerful role their current strength can play, these countries are obviously eager for it.

To put it metaphorically, this is the latest generation of dominant fighter jets.

After Simeng acquired this dominant fighter, the technologically backward country of Olima wanted to form an alliance with Simeng. In-laws, diplomatic relations and other means were all part of the alliance.

At the same time, they believe that their country has natural advantages in manufacturing this new-era fighter.

Later, if Simeng needs Olima to produce this new fighter, or if Simeng already has newer technology, then there will be enough reasons to share the development technology of this generation of fighter with Olima.

After going over this logic in his mind, Han Dongwen didn't find any major flaws for the time being, and it seemed that there was no other reason to doubt Olimar's intentions for the time being.

However, there was one thing he absolutely could not let Princess Amira and Olimar know.

That is, this new-age fighter jet is said to be powerful, he...

How should he use it?
