Chapter 638 The Man Who Stirs Up the Mud

Lou's words left Fanning silent and nodding, with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind.

  Life choices, a topic with a lot to discuss, isn’t it?

Until finally, Fanning retracted his gaze from the scenery outside the window: "Well, but, from a utilitarian point of view, have you ever thought about it?"

“Things like ‘style’ that are determined by subjective evaluation are historically subjective, collectively subjective. Although history will give a fair conclusion if time is extended, most people’s vision is short-sighted. They are often dominated by low-level aesthetics, coerced by authoritative voices, and disturbed by non-artistic external objects.”

"This means that if we don't have to 'extend time' and just want to find a conclusion in the present world, art evaluation can also be 'not so pure'."

"In fact, it is true. Right now, are most of the artists in this circle pure? I think there is a question mark."

"So, Lu, have you ever thought about this? You are not that kind of 'stupid young master of a rich family who is useless'. You are actually an outstanding musical talent. You have been a 'moth' for a long time. If you really put all your family resources and connections into the art path... You see, we are also your connections, right? I, 'New Moon', can also give you a push."

"In this case, you can actually quickly become a 'bridegroom', and after a few years, you have a good chance of being promoted to a 'blade bearer'. A famous artist? What's so great about the word 'famous' to you? It's just the fame of a few continents. Is it worth hundreds of thousands of pounds? Or millions of pounds? There are so many artists who spend money to pursue fame these days."

"Then spend several decades and work hard for it. In fact, you may be able to advance to the next level. Yes, in fact, you have a glimmer of hope of becoming a 'Forging Lion'."

"You should know why I emphasized 'Forging the Lion' at the end, right?" Fanning rang the bell, signaling the staff to serve a new round of tea.

Those present naturally knew why Fanning’s last words focused on “Forging Lion”.

The qualification to use the key will lead to the qualification to be promoted to the master!

What do prominent people fear the most? They are definitely afraid of death!

Fanning also didn't know why the "human species" in this old industrial world, this broken place, had a lifespan of only around sixty years old, and would suffer from various functional failures and eventually die of old age.

If we say that in the past and modern times, the low average life expectancy was due to the material and medical levels, but here even the rich are of no use. The only thing that is slightly effective is the elixir and secret rituals of the "pool" or "cocoon", which makes many elderly people easily be bewitched by secret organizations.

"Mr. Fanning, the question you raised is very on point." Lu Shen smiled approvingly, "I know how to have fun and enjoy myself. I have everything I want. Hahaha, naturally I want to live for seventy, eighty or even a hundred years."

"However, as you said, 'a ray of hope', the process of becoming an enlightened person through the path of art is too difficult, too frustrating, and the expectations are too low for me!"

"Mr. Fanning, do you know how I became a high-ranking knowledgeable person in just three years?"

"You've reached a high level already?" Fan Ning couldn't help but be surprised.

Lu is actually also an official member. His organization is an "external staff of the Special Patrol Office", which is actually a loophole opened by the authorities for these industrial aristocrats to pursue mystery legally.

However, Fanning remembered that at the time of the Santaramburg subway incident, Lu had just been promoted to an informed person.

  this speed

Monroe has just been promoted to the middle level, and Sheeran is still at the middle level.

"I have sponsored official organizations in Theolian extensively. I have received invitations to all mystical spiritual practices, seminars, and salons that can be attended. I have funded a group of historians to form a consulting team to help me more efficiently dissect the knowledge behind the mist of history. I have hired two or three combat experts and toolsmiths who have worked for those declining big families to demonstrate the secrets of 'ashes' to me from time to time. When I take a bath on weekdays, I will pour half a bucket of brilliant spiritual liquid into the bathtub and put another half bucket next to it to nourish my inspiration while relaxing. Oh, and I have increased the capital of the Turner Art Hall more than 20 times. A big reason for this is that I feel embarrassed to always use your 'Church of Enlightenment' in the secret realm of migration to practice dream control."

Fanning was stunned when he heard this, and Sheeran and Monroe also stopped staring.

  It turns out that the mysterious side can also go this way.

Isn’t this too inhumane?

"To be honest, when I first saw Yiyong in my dream, I was granted the 'light of first acquaintance', which allowed me to glimpse the true will of the world. This experience really overturned my understanding of the laws and nature of the world's operation." "But later I realized that although this is the truth, the reality is not absolute. Aren't the academic cliques and churches relying on their accumulation in the waking world to monopolize the resources of the mysterious side?"

“Although we only live in the silt that flows downward, stirring the silt is enough to shake the riverbed and form a rapids. We were born in the light, descended to the surface, and will eventually return to the light. Before that, let me survive and fight in this world until I die.”

Fanning nodded. He felt that the collision and confrontation of certain thoughts brought him a lot of new inspiration.

However, Lu probably felt that his tone suddenly became too "literary narrative" and smiled and crossed his legs: "Well, I seem to have relied on my prominent family background to find a high-sounding declaration for my "worldliness". But then again, the two people I admire and envy the most in this world are Pogorelich and you, Master Fanning. One relies on absolute power to suppress everything, and the other purely intends to reach the top step by step by building a spiritual world."

"Well, as for the problem of the Adepts that we will face next," he continued, "when did the new control mechanism appear? It was only three years ago, and I still have thirty years. Everything will change, and even change again and again!"

"After I reach the upper limit, I will have enough time to consolidate my spirituality and continue to expand my power to ensure that the Adair family continues to occupy the top resources in this world."

"Once the opportunity comes, I will take strong action to seize the chance to use a key! The process itself will be very enjoyable and challenging, full of positive feedback of strength, power and money!"

The Adair family, a railroad tycoon, has businesses all over the world. Under the railroad company alone, Lew controls more than 22,000 subsidiaries and more than 2.7 million employees.

In recent years, the family has also been working hard to establish roots in multiple fields such as communications, logistics, and military industry.

"Haha, speaking of which, we were recently commissioned by the Imperial House of Commons to take over the development of a supporting project for a large military order."

"Military project?" Monroe asked casually, probably due to his interest and expertise in studying thermal weapons.

"Yes, a new type of weapon." Lu snapped his fingers and laughed, "Although the specific content is confidential, if this thing can be accomplished, I bet not only the imperial military, but also Janus and Lydians in the west will rush to buy it at a sky-high price. My father's campaign for the Speaker of the House of Commons will surely be successful."

"Oh, it seems that the Theolaine Congress has tasted the sweetness of making money from the war, these guys." Monroe shrugged to show that he roughly understood.

  Damn it, this world is really crazy. A continent is almost wiped out, and the remaining people are still fighting, fighting, fighting.

I can no longer drink those good southern wines. The box that Dupont helped me buy before he left turned out to be fake wine when I tasted it later.

Monroe, a small lawyer, could not change anything and could only grumble in anger in his heart.

He recalled how the Empire's bombers and tanks had been selling like hot cakes on the battlefields of the Western Continent over the past two years.

In recent years, powerful new military weapons have indeed emerged in large numbers.

As a force with many natural scientists and engineers, the Guidance School has also enjoyed a lot of patent dividends.

They are probably also cooperating with the Guidance School this time.

"By the way, since we're talking about the House of Representatives and elections, Lu, I want to ask you something. Do you know anything about it?"

Fanning threw the pen into the stationery tube, his eyes flashing with thought:

"That day, at the Order of the Thistle ceremony, in front of a large number of camera flashes, King Louis asked me two strange questions."
