Duke of Herrington

Chapter 74 The Sea King's True Love and the Purpose of the Dragon

After a long time, in order to break the silent atmosphere, Ted stood up first, walked slowly behind Steve, and put his right hand on his left shoulder.

"Actually. You already have the answer in your heart, don't you? You just don't want to face it. I believe you know the church's dirty tricks better than anyone else."

Steve wanted to open his mouth to explain that 'the church and God are two different things', but there was always another voice in his heart telling himself, 'Why didn't God punish him for such a blasphemy?Do indulgences really work?Will so many evil gods really forgive him? '

Before he opened his mouth, he was already caught in a contradiction, and felt that Ted's words and his own beliefs were both correct
Ted took a long breath, came to his ear and continued to play the rhythm: "How long are you going to lie to yourself? You should trust your hands and your teammates! Instead of relying on that illusory thing floating in the sky man!"

"If he really exists, please tell me, what did the people of [Xueman Empire] and [Hack Empire] do wrong? They believe in God, and obey the teachings peacefully! Why do sufferings come to them? Why should they be starved to death? For innocent people, shouldn't your God of God love them and save them?"

Facts are always better than fallacies. Steve himself is a prince who loves the people. He understands the sufferings of the people, and he knows what kind of disaster the war not long ago brought to the people.
"It's time for God to collect the money! Where was he when the accident happened?"

As an old-world person, Steve believed that everyone should believe in something. He felt that Ted didn't believe in God, so he must believe in something else.
He raised the glass with trembling hands, drank half of the iced Coke, and tried to calm his irritable heart: "Then Mr. Earl, since you don't believe in God or divine power, then what do you believe in?"

This sudden question really caught Ted a little off guard, but it is still very simple to make up an answer based on what he has learned: "I trust my cotton coat and trousers, because they can bring me warmth! I Believe in science, just like this electric light, it can facilitate our life! And what I said is all visible and tangible!"

Having said that, Steve is still hesitating. He has been taught to believe in God since he was a child, and it is God who created human beings, not the "nonsense" that Ted said just now, even if what Ted said seems to make sense , and still can't shake the deep-rooted thoughts.

Ted is not a fool, he can see that Steve still believes in God, but his heart is like a can of expired coffee, knowing that it is smelly, but he has no courage to open it.

Now that there is this beginning, it means that Steve is still saved.

Ted picked up the Coke can, filled Steve's cup with Coke, and said in a dull voice, "I don't ask you to understand immediately, after all, it is not easy to abandon the habits and common sense of so many years. Son. Knowing that there will be no results, but still working hard for it, just trying to numb myself, as if this will make the previous efforts not in vain."

"If you continue to hypnotize yourself like this, you may not be able to wake up again. However... it is not easy for people to see themselves clearly. You can continue to deceive yourself for a while, but I hope the time will not be too long."

At this moment, how much Steve wished that God would come to him, point to the heathen in front of him, and tell him that he has been watching everyone.

But no matter how much Steve prayed and pleaded, it was of no avail
Finally, he gave up. He put down the scriptures in his hand, turned around and tried to ask: "Then can I trust you? My ally? You won't harm me, right?"

Ted shook his head with a smile, and quietly put the pistol behind his back into the satchel: "Of course not, my friend, I will never attack you, and I promised you that I would help you become the emperor, didn't you?" ?"

These friendly words finally made Steve smile, and he let go of his tense body to respond: "Yes! Yes."

Talking here, Ted has a new plan. It is estimated that the people all over the empire are the same as Steve. It is temporarily impossible to let them get rid of the shackles of religion, so he came up with a "Sun God Project" to let the people Believe in yourself and don't be led by the nose by others!
Because Ted doesn't exploit people
"Since you believe in God and think he exists, how about we make a bet?"

Steve drank all the Coke, took a deep breath, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead: "What bet?"

"I will create a religion myself, just use my ability to make up nonsense, and this religion will overshadow your God within five years, and even replace God!"

"The bet is that if I don't succeed, I will follow you to believe in God. If I succeed, then you have to burn all the things about God yourself!"

"At that time, I will let you know how crazy and unreliable the thing 'religion' is"

"How about it, do you take this bet?"

Steve stared at Ted tremblingly, no answer, no answer, finally, under Ted's guidance, he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I will take it!"

At the end of the conversation, things didn't go the best way they could have imagined, but they weren't too bad.

At least, Steve doesn't have to be locked in a small dark room as a tool man. In that case, Ted will have to make up many more lies
"Okay, then go to dinner with me, don't be so depressed, I won't do anything to you." Saying that, Ted walked slowly towards the wooden door, coughing twice on purpose before opening the door.

The guards who heard the signal immediately left quietly along the corner of the wall.

The faint footsteps faded away, and Ted opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Just when Steve breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and leave.

Vadina stumbled in from outside the house, her eyes filled with tears, she came to Steve, and sincerely persuaded: "Honey, for me, don't believe that, let's go together Elope!"

"My dear. Why are you here?"

"I don't want you to be controlled by nothingness just for me"

The atmosphere in the room became weird in an instant. Chris pulled Ted out while he was in a daze, took a few wet towels and put them on the shelf at the entrance, and said: "Remember to put Clean up here!"

Ted was stunned. He had no idea when Vadina came here, let alone why she was crying. Of course, what he didn't understand the most was why Chris would say, "Don't forget to clean up." .'

"My lord, I'm in a hurry and I want to ask you to borrow someone."

"Borrow someone?"

At the same time, a group of clerks packed their things and walked out with Chris.

Just when everyone left the lord's office and the living room.

A strange sound sounded.

"My God, it's so fast." Chris shook his head and didn't care about it any more. Anyway, he gave Vadina a task, and he had to wait at least an hour for the result.

He took out his own form, took Ted and the clerks to the newly established Northland Architectural Planning Department.
A clerk smiled and opened one of the stools and made a 'please' gesture: "My lord, please sit down."

"thanks."

Ted didn't understand Chris's behavior very much, and made himself confused. Logically speaking, Ted's things and family property were all taken care of by Chris, and there was no such thing as "borrowing".

"Chris, you can just say it, what do you want to borrow from me?"

Chris knew that his request was a little embarrassing, so he cleared his throat and slowly cut into other topics.

He opened a thick stack of folders with the word 'architecture' and took out a few drawings: "Sir, these are the planned architectural drawings, as well as the sketches of the factory. Planned Nitrogen Fertilizer Soda Plant”

Ted took the drawing dubiously, thinking that it was a drawing mistake, and they wanted to complain to themselves, but looking at the professional drawing, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong.

On the contrary, it can be seen that William has been leading the students to study hard, without slack!
"Chris, you can just say, what do you want to ask me to borrow? I remember my things, property, etc., can't you directly dispatch them?"

"But my lord, what we want to borrow is your wife"

Hearing these remarks, Ted immediately became alert, tightened his body and moved back a few inches: "Borrow? My wife? What are you doing?"

The wife I just abducted back, wants to borrow it before she warms it up?Besides, in this world, where is there anyone who borrows a wife?This is not only disrespectful to women, but also objectifies women, which should be banned!

"My lord, we not only want to borrow your wife, but we may also borrow your wife's siblings and parents"

Those words just now were very unreliable, but this sentence is even more critical!

Ted froze in place, not knowing what to do, he could only turn his head, opened his mouth wide, gently pulled his right ear with his facial expression, made an unbelievable expression, and then opened his mouth to confirm: "What are you going to do? "

The surrounding staff and Chris obviously don't understand Ted's behavior. Although they understand that he loves his wife, in this situation, it is better to let them work a little bit.

"My lord, in order to help you solve your problems, Mia is learning to read and write recently. Alice occasionally records documents, or goes to the farm to help. But your new wife, Lilia of the Ice Dragon Clan, is idle at home, can you let her Come out to work for a while? Instead of her cleaning up the files, let her exercise as exercise."

"We know this request is too offensive, but right now, we really have no other way to take the liberty of asking for your opinion."

Ted was completely confused. He thought that the people around him were deliberately making fun of him!
"Stop beating around the bush! Just say it out loud, and if you offend me, I won't send you to the gallows! Such yin and yang weirdness has tortured my brain cells to death!"

"Ahem, then I'll just say it straight." Chris spread out an engineering booklet, pointing to the cranes, forklifts, and engineering vehicles of the same series on it.

"My lord, we don't have tools to build a factory. Even if the parts are made, there is no way to fix them. If pulleys and levers are used, the construction period will be delayed for a long time, and it is also very dangerous. Our experience is also insufficient, almost zero. "

"So, I would like to ask your wife and his family to help after spring! Don't worry about the food problem. We have built more than 200 turkey farms, and her immediate family should be able to afford it."

"We also promise here that we will never use your wife as a tool. We respect them! We just want to hire them as construction workers to solve our shortage of construction equipment!"

"Puff." Hearing this outrageous request, Ted laughed without scruples, happier than when he teased Steve just now.

At first, Ted thought someone was thinking about his wife.
But he never expected it. It was only because of the lack of engineering equipment and the fact that they saw Lilia's real body by chance that they had this idea like a brain twitch.

"Hahahaha." Ted raised his right hand to cover half of his face, and it took a while to calm down.

"My lord, please think twice, it's not easy to stand up those big iron cans! It's already very difficult for us to build him. If there are strong dragons to help, it only takes three seconds to finish the work." It can erect iron cans weighing tens of tons!"

In order to get Ted to nod as soon as possible, the technician next to him even took out a document: "My lord, if humans or moon elves do these things, the risk factor is too great, we dare not take this risk, and we cannot take this risk. "

"Stop, you stop for a while, I promise, you hurry up to prepare the turkey, and let me laugh for a while"

Ted couldn't take it anymore, he was lying on his desk laughing like a fool
Don't say it's unprecedented, I guess it won't be done in the future
Because there is no engineering equipment, I thought of the group of strong dragons, not only that, but also hired them to work for the northern border?
This outrageous idea, Ted's poor memory, has never seen anyone who dared to think so, not even in the novel
However, after thinking about it again, the noble dragons may not have had enough food for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. I will feed them myself and pay them some wages. Maybe there is room for negotiation?

If calculated according to Lilia's body size, her brothers, sisters and parents should be in youth and adulthood respectively, and their bodies would be bigger than Lilia's!

Thinking about it this way, those adult dragons that stand hundreds of meters high seem to be more useful than construction machinery. Those bottles and cans that humans use to build factories are, for them, playing with building blocks. Play, no difficulty.

The workload of an excavator in a day may not be able to dig out a decent shit hole, and if the dragons do it, it will only be a matter of a few claws.

"Just do it!"

Half an hour later, Ted completed most of the parts planning. After going through one by one, he wrote a plan and handed it to Chris. When he returns home at night, he can discuss this matter with Lilia!

After doing this, he recalled the scene 20 minutes ago, and he couldn't understand why Vadina was crying so sadly.
"Our city's problem has been solved, so can you explain what's going on with Vadina and Steve in the house?"

"Her!" Chris put down the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, pointed to the room behind him, and said helplessly, "I can't see through them, because I think the benefits I have given will not let Wadi Na acted like that, it is estimated that Neptune was moved by the truth."

"True feelings? How is this possible?" Ted was stunned by the female sea king who had 2300 men, but he was actually moved by the truth?

This is even more outrageous than hiring a dragon to work for yourself!
