Hey, King!

Chapter 431 Chapter 434 Sort it out

Maybe it’s a coincidence, maybe it’s just to express some truth, the new On the day when the first generation of muskets was completed, the news that the election Wang and Levanke canceled the wanted of Dagon also spread to Chiling City. It will take a while for the mercenaries and assassins to completely stop hunting, but it's a good sign in the end.

A new generation of muskets—or "first-generation muskets" as Shiloh and the others mean—has been finalized, and there are currently two. One more consideration of cost control and more suitable for mass production in terms of craftsmanship, with single barrel lever-loading as the loading method, the main ammunition is shotgun, named "Youth Army Type 1". The other uses the most advanced technology at present, and fully considers the important figure self-protection to make a short gun with double barrel and double magazine design.

"Let's call it Dwarf Boy." Dagon was full of nostalgia for the previous gun, so he decided to let the new gun carry its name. The stereotyped name of this short gun is "Short Shot Type 1", and the dwarf boy is the name of the gun, and the two do not conflict. Everyone doesn't quite understand why Dagon, who puts the "Jiangu family" in an important position all day long, uses the name "dwarf" to name weapons. Dagon can't say that it was suggested by Reid, but can only be interpreted as "always remind yourself The Jiangu people have not yet prospered."

Of course, the new ideas became somewhat famous with the "Conversation Minutes", which is no longer limited to "Jiangu people", but "like the Jiangu people." An intelligent race that wants peace, tranquility, happiness, and equality." The priests of Ori interpret this change and believe that Dagon wants to become an "equal god" through the path of divine enlightenment, which is also consistent with the idea of common origins that he once launched the "Equality Act". Of course, everyone can't imagine that Aoli was persuaded by Dagon that a major change is about to take place - Jiangu clansman does not have the habit of actively seeking change, and most people are still immersed in the memory of the past glory.

"Maybe it's time for them to wake up."

After the wanted was cancelled, and the musket was ready, Dagon decided to get out of the underground lab and the priests of the Temple of Ori. see meet. There is less than a month left before the opening of the road to enlightenment. Most of the priests who want to come have already concentrated in Chiling City. They have been discussing the content of the "Conversation Minutes", and they have been vaguely divided into several factions.

From the point of view, some people think that the "Conversation Minutes" is a declaration of "the God of Equality"; some people think that God Oli is misled by Dagon and may give his diving force wrongly; It is too idealistic and has no practical support. It is impossible to achieve; some people think that "The Conversation Minutes" is not intense enough. What Jiangu clansman needs is a powerful fist to break the shackles of the old world represented by elves, and Not extend the hand simply smooth the wound.

These ideas are both right and wrong, and Dagon will discuss and debate them. Dagon knew very well that in a short period of time, unless he used the prestige of the Auli God, he would not be able to reverse the minds of the priests of the temple, and it would be impossible to unify them, but the work of unifying their minds must be done, and it must be done from now on. If you wait until you have completed the path of enlightenment, it will be a little too late.

"You're impossible to convince them." Shiloh shrugged, not optimistic about the outcome of this one-two-hundred debate. "If your idea is to win the debate, then you are too arrogant. I have experienced many debates in the elf council, believe me, I have been convinced..."

"It can make you Not many things to convince, maybe this is the first one?" Dagon raised his chin so Shiloh could braid his beard more comfortably.

Since the two of them confirmed each other's intentions and got the Steelcast couple's consent, Dagon's beard was naturally handed over to Shiloui, which was her responsibility and privilege. She'll do some pixie-style braids for Dagon, which means using the shape of the hair on her chin. Although not quite in line with Jiangu clansman's traditional aesthetic, Dagon is strong enough and strong enough, and the softer beard style complements him without destroying his overall image.

"Yes, the debate in the parliamentary council is the only thing I am completely convinced of, and it can be called the most thankless representative." Shi Luoai was busy with her hands, but her mouth was not idle. "Dagon, promise me one thing, if you gain power to run a territory or country, don't ask me for help. I'm fed up with all that political activity, especially the parliamentary debate type."

"Then what do you want to do?" Dagon looked into Shiroai's eyes, but when she pushed her chin, she could only look at the ceiling again.

“I want to continue to study spell, and I want to take over the school after Professor Dongdong’s death and continue to be my professor.” Shiloai took a comb and slowly trimmed Dagon’s beard and said at the same time: “I I still miss teaching at the Elite Academy, but I'm sure I can't go back."

"Because of the Spirit King?"

"Knowingly asking." Shiloh finally decided Okay, today's beard braid shape, let's start. "After the Spirit King defeated those noble coalition forces, he began to rectify his power. Many elven families were implicated, and the nobles became commoners before they were saved. Although the Asnerel family upheld neutrality and did not participate in the noble coalition, the spirit After the King has cleaned up the enemy, the next may be the centrist."

Sighed, said: "With the strength of the family, self-preservation is still no problem, unless the Spirit King goes out of his way to fight desperately. Attitude to target us, thus turning the entire family of the middle faction into an enemy - then he is finished. But our family must make a gesture and give up some interests, such as the position of the Academy Principal."

"My aunt said she was going to take the initiative, to cater to the interests of the Spirit King, to turn the elite Academy into the Royal Academy, the Spirit King to become the Principal, and she resigned as the Executive Vice Principal, and then handed over the executive power." Said: "Take a step back on the Academy side, the fundamental interests of the Asnerel family in business will not be damaged, and maybe it can go further. Who knows... Anyway, I can't go back to the Academy, the new Academy It may no longer meet my ideals."

Dagon looked at Shiloh and said, "It's actually me, right?"

"Aha, of course it's you. !" Shiloh laughed, she liked Dagon's real character, because she could be real together too. "It's no wonder that Spirit King is angry when you escaped from the mage prison. If possible, I really want to know what his face looked like when he got the news. Was it consternation? Anger? Fear or just sluggishness?"

"Then you missed the opportunity!" Dagon said after restraining his laughter: "No matter what his expression is, he will definitely put the escape from prison on you and implicate your family."

"What is implicated, obviously it's our family's business! When you were arrested, you were an advisor to the Asneril family, and the family has been calling for your release. Aiya, you may have misunderstood." Pulling Dagon's beard, he said: "The Spirit King won't let you go, but you came out. Other elf families will only think that Asnerel has the ability and wins. The more criticism you receive from the Spirit King. , the status of the family is actually more stable. Especially after so many elf families have been hit, this is more precious."

Dagon thought about it, and this is indeed the truth. Just like everything has two sides, you must broaden your perspective and analyze it fully, and bad things can turn into good things. Likewise, good things can turn into bad things if you don't pay attention.

Having a debate with the priests of the temple is a good thing that can turn out to be a bad thing, and Dagon has set himself several rules. First of all, you must not be angry, it will only have the opposite effect. Dagon asked himself not to be in a hurry to convince the other party, not to fight for the benefit of words, because that was really unnecessary.

Some people do not understand, some people understand and pretend not to understand; some people first consider their own interests, but some people do not consider their interests at all, and oppose it simply for the sake of opposition. Dagon thinks very clearly that whether he can succeed and whether his ideal can be realized is not to convince everyone, but to serve more people.

Verbal, theoretical persuasion is important, but not critical. When the gun is in hand and the territory is in control, when the economic, military and political aspects are all formed, does Dagon still need to rely on "persuasion"? Although he doesn't want to be the elected king or the spirit king, the essence of rule and management has not changed, and they never rely on persuasion to manage.

The real decisive force is always in practice, not in the debate. The upcoming debate is like an exam, and it's just an ordinary exam, especially compared to the upcoming Path of Revelation.

Dagon couldn't find more information about the Way of Revelation, whether through Ori himself or other records in temples and libraries, but that didn't mean he couldn't guess. On this point, he and Reid are surprisingly unanimous, believing that the focus of the road of divine enlightenment must be a test of thought, and it will depend on whether a person has firm beliefs, whether his thoughts can harmonize and achieve unity, and whether they are compatible with the world The required content matches.

From mortal to god, more from a physical concept to an abstract sociological concept. For example, Oli, he has changed from a Jiangu clansman to the protector and guide of the Jiangu clan. This kind of change was not arranged by outsiders, it was the vision when he recombined the physical body and mortal flesh of Ori, and it was the core of his original thought.

Dagon doesn't want to be a god, but the Way of Revelation won't change its essence because of this idea. Both Rhett and Dagon believe that in the Path of Revelation, Dagon's mind will be tested and he will have many opportunities to express his own mind. They are not worried about the theoretical aspects of ideas, but they are still a little worried about whether these ideas are in line with the status quo of the world.

After all, Dagon is still too young in Jiangu clansman, and he has mainly experienced three environments: the closed environment of Jiangu city, the learning environment of the elite Academy, the confinement environment of the mage prison - none of them have representative. Therefore, Dagon took this debate with the pastors more as an opportunity to learn, through the pastors to understand the problems and real problems that Jiangu people care about and encounter.

"Go ahead," said Shiloh, finally finishing Dagon's beard, patted on his chest, with an encouraging look in his eyes.

Dagon nods, took a deep breath, spit it out slowly and said to Shiloai with a smile: "Okay, I'm going."
