"Go with you to meet the King of Mussy?" Emerson rolled his eyes and leaned his body against the wall: "I won't go, why should I waste time on a king with no future?!"

Cumberland took a breath, stopped the urge to strangle someone deep in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "A king without a future? What do you mean by that?"

Emerson glanced back at the old knight: "Todd Fischer, is this name correct? Regardless of whether he is a holy son or not, as far as the founding monarch is concerned, he is not qualified."

Seeing Cumberland’s facial expression, he was already on the verge of anger, Emerson sat up and looked directly into the other’s eyes without any fear. “I have my reasons for saying this. You can think about it from Gutello. At the beginning of the period, what are the common characteristics of the monarchs who established the new country?"

Cumberland shook his head and said, "I don't read as many books as you, and I don't want to guess, you just tell me."

Emerson clenched his right hand into a fist, raised it in front of Cumberland, and said: "A founding king may not be smart enough, but his family may be ruined. It doesn't even matter if he is not brave enough, but there is one thing that must be possessed-ambition. , Or called the desire for power."

"After talking for so long, you tell me that a wise monarch should be a careerist first?!"

Emerson opened his hand, looked at Cumberland, and said in a firm tone: "Ambition, selfishness, tolerance, tyranny, and judgment of the times are the virtues of a king. You knights, because you have suffered so much. Hypocritical preaching, began to reject the truth, surrendered to hypocrisy."

"Humans are two-faced creatures. On the one hand, they are stupid, always dissatisfied, and eager to get everything; on the other hand, they have the instinct to succumb to power." Emerson looked at Cumberland's chest. Protecting the umbrella, he shook his head and said: "The king, especially the founder of the country, should be as cruel as a lion and as cunning as a fox. But what the ruler of Muxi has done is doing the opposite. It is ridiculous that it is distributed to the people, and it is hoped that the people will balance their needs."

Listening to Emerson’s statement, Cumberland was speechless for a long time. After he recovered, he weakly defended: "The king should love his people, and the people should obey the king's will."

Emerson leaned his back against the wall and sneered: "The monarch needs cruelty, not love. Rather than being loved, fear and obedience can enable the monarch to gain security and strength. But sometimes he needs to make the people safe and strong. Believe that the monarch is a man of virtue and virtue."

Seeing Cumberland’s increasingly confused expression, Emerson continued: “It’s not difficult to understand that in public, the king should show his love for the people and the kindness and generosity. Punishment will let others. If you do it, you can finally put the blame on others and find a scapegoat to avoid being condemned by the people. Reward others should be personally presented, so as not to allow subordinates to act privately."

Cumberland shook his head as he listened, "Listen to what you say! Greed, pride, tyranny, these are the original sins! You let a holy son rely on these sins to gain power and govern the country?!"

"I used to believe in good deeds, but what I saw, heard, and done a year before the demise of the Silver Ring Kingdom completely changed my view." Emerson stretched out and trembled. With his hand, he took out a small wine bottle in his arms, opened the cork, and took a sip: "This is like two people. If everyone has good intentions, they will naturally be in peace; if you are not malicious, the other person will have a bad heart. , In the end, it must be your misfortune; but if neither of them is kind, it will end in a tie. Therefore, from the beginning, holding the most selfish plan is the best strategy."

Cumberland snatched the bottle, threw it into the pile of debris behind him, pointed to Emerson’s nose and cursed: “Absurd! If you think like this, there will be no virtue and kindness in the world, only Under the deceit and greed, there are only wars and killings in the world. What is the difference between this and hell?!"

"You have fought more battles than me. Come and tell me, in this dark world, which year is there no war?"

Emerson's words caused Cumberland to choke for a while, and there was no answer.

Emerson leaned his head on the wall, looked at the roof and muttered, "This world is already a hell."

——————————————

Todd sat on the throne, closed his eyes and thought about everything in his head quietly.

This is the homework he has to complete every day now.

Before leaving, Clarence gave Todd some of his memories and abilities as gifts.

Ability not to mention for now.

One of the three elders of the Presbyterian Church, his memory is naturally extremely valuable. Through them, Todd not only understands the internal structure and operation of the Presbyterian Church, but can even peek into some of the secrets of the organization.

But the trouble is that the transferred memories are all fragments, sometimes a scene, sometimes a prop, sometimes just a vague sound.

What Todd has to do now is to rearrange and combine these chaotic memory fragments according to time and characters, and find the most critical events.

For him, the most important thing right now is how to stop mutation.

According to Jerome, the Legion of Discord, he was already on the verge of mutation because of the failure of the successor's experiment. Because Theodore treated him, not only was the mutation stopped, he also became a member of the new heir.

Todd intends to use Theodore's voice and images as keywords to search for Clarence's memory.

This work is not only laborious, but also slow in progress. To find what you want in tens of thousands of memory fragments is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. But otherwise, Todd really has no other choice.

"Your Majesty, Master Cumberland asked to see you outside the door."

Since Huggins is still recovering from his injuries at home, the work of the order is still in the charge of the Knights' guards.

Todd opened his eyes and said, "Invite him in."

In the guard's strange eyes, Cumberland was like a sheepboy going to the market, with a rope in his hand.

An old man **** by a big five flowers, with an unlovable expression on his face, was dragged by Cumberland and walked into the room.

"Your Majesty, let me introduce this. This is my former boss and my good friend-Earl Emerson."

Todd looked at the rope in Cumberland's hands, his brain couldn't turn a bit, his mouth opened but he didn't know what to say.

"He used to be the commander of the Southern Army of the Silver Ring Kingdom, and the teacher of the three crown princes of the Silver Ring Royal Family. He also served as the Minister of the Interior and the Chief of the Foreign Consul." Cumberland pulled the rope in his hands, and Emerson stumbled. Taking a few steps forward, the old knight’s expression was alive and well as a vendor selling goods: “He was very interested in everything about the Kingdom of Muxi a long time ago. ask."

Very urgent?

Your majesty?

Todd glanced at the rope, then looked at the stinky face of Emerson, and whispered to Cumberland, "Are you sure he wants to play for the Kingdom of Muxi? I ​​think he seems reluctant..."

"His natural face looks like this~lightnovelpub.net~ everyone looks like a debt collector."

"Then what's the matter with this rope?"

"These are just some of his special hobbies..."

Emerson listened to the conversation between the monarch and his subjects, his face flushed with anger, and finally shouted angrily: "Cumberland! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will leave immediately!"

Todd squinted at the silly old knight, walked in front of Emerson, personally untied him, and said, "If Cumberland forced you to come, you can leave at any time."

Emerson moved his hands and feet, looked at Todd and sighed: "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you."
