Muxi Palace, the king's audience room.

Sitting on the sofa, Rachel, reading the report Karin just submitted, smiled and said, "These silver ring nobles are really interesting."

Todd stood in front of the window with his back to the door, looking at the scenery outside without saying a word.

Rachel threw the report on the table, shook his head and said: "In my impression, the nobles are just a group of stupid and arrogant guys. Who would have thought that those people would actually think of trying to rehabilitate in this way? Back to the stage."

Todd sighed: "My original intention was to hope that citizens would use rationality to jointly manage this country, but I now discover that Twilight West has really gone farther and farther..."

"When human beings no longer have faith in their hearts, money will climb to the top of the pyramid and become the standard for measuring all values." Rachel lay his body on the sofa, the plump body curve to perfection: "Humanity has always It is not a purely rational animal. The so-called citizen group is like a pile of dry wood that has been drenched in grease. With just a little spark, they can abandon their reason and become the most thorough lunatic..."

Todd turned around and pulled out a book from the desk shelf, which was an excerpt of what Myris gave him when he was parting.

Todd opened one of the pages and said softly: "Humans have never been truly free. They lack a sense of security in their hearts. They must find something, believe in it, and obey it all the time. This is human nature, and it is also a weakness of society."

Rachel stared at Todd's face and asked, "What do you want me to do next? I can start the alien association and secretly execute those nobles."

Todd put down his book, looked at Ritchell and said helplessly: "Kill these people, but what about? Soon, the new leader of the business group will stand up and run for the cabinet. A new aristocratic class will embark on the stage of history. , Playing with the people, depriving them of wealth, squeezing their flesh and blood...their nature will never change."

Rachel looked at Todd and asked calmly, "So what should Twilight West do now?"

Todd sat on the chair, closed his eyes and fell into contemplation. The expression on his face was serious and serious like never before.

"At the beginning, in order to seek the survival of the kingdom, I designed two completely different roads for West City and Froststone City. For West City, I tried to weaken the role of religion, remove the imprints of theocracy in mankind, and try to awaken mankind. Reason; for Froststone City, I used the soul space to build a sanctuary, so that the believers can believe in the cycle of cause and effect and the law of good and evil... the result is..."

Rachel snapped his fingers: "Froststone City won, didn't it? It turns out that humans need powerful gods as pillars of faith. The so-called rationality is just an excuse to cause chaos."

Standing up from the sofa, Rachel walked slowly in front of Todd, squatting down and looking up at him: "Todd, when you try to distribute power to the citizens, it is the ones who really benefit from hiding in the dark. If you don’t get rid of them now, the kingdom you built with your own hands will sooner or later fall to the fate of the Silver Ring Kingdom."

Todd lowered his head and looked at the woman's picturesque face: "Sometimes some lumps grow on the patient's skin. At first, these lumps are hidden under the skin. The doctor's recommendation is not to remove them temporarily. Wait for it. Slowly grow up, and when it grows out of the skin, use surgery to eradicate it all at once...Rachel, I will not only remove these nobles, but also perform an operation on the entire Twilight City..."

Rachel thought for a while and understood the deep meaning of the other party's words: "Todd, I don't object to you doing this, but you have to know that this will involve the entire Westbrook."

Todd shook his head and said: "The current Twilight City is already full of holes. If the road of reason does not work, then the storm of faith can only sweep everything."

Richel stood up and nodded: "I understand, now that you have decided, then I will arrange everything."

The two were about to say something more, when the guard knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, the Queen of the Holy Acropolis wants to meet you."

Todd frowned: "Queen of the Holy Acropolis? Mary? What is she doing at this time?"

Rachel blinked at Todd: "Need to talk? She must have rushed over to see you when she heard the news of your return to Twilight."

Listening to Rachel's slightly ridiculous tone, Todd said with a wry smile: "Queen Mary and I are not what you imagined...Forget it, you can just stay and listen to what she wants to say."

Rachel gave a nasty smile: "I will stay, but not here."

After saying this, she walked into the side of the audience room, concealed the door, and quietly waited for the show to take place.

About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the audience room, and the voice of the guard sounded again: "Your Majesty, the Queen of the Holy Acropolis has arrived."

"Invite her in."

"Yes."

When Mary walked into the room, Todd, who hadn't seen her for a long time, suddenly had the illusion that the room was illuminated.

A pair of silky satin-like long hair curled up on the top of his head, and a pair of eyes like a bright moon looked forward to radiance, and the crystal-clear skin like snow jade was white enough to make people feel dazzling under the sunlight.

In Todd's memory, Mary's beauty has left a deep impression on him, but she hasn't seen it for a while, and her beauty hasn't faded in the slightest, even more amazing.

Mary walked into the room and looked at the familiar man in front of her. There was no greeting, no greeting, just a salute, and she sat on the chair that the guards had already prepared.

Looking at Mary's expressionless face, Todd sighed slightly: "Mary, having a face-to-face conversation like this, I remember it's been a long time."

Mary’s voice is soft and quiet, but the meaning of the words is full of gunpowder: "Your Majesty, I don’t know whether I should praise your busyness or marvel at your dereliction of duty. For more than a year, you have never returned. The throne of Twilight West, let the city run wild like a wild horse..."

Todd gave a wry smile: "Mary, things are not what you think, I have been..."

Mary reached out her hand to stop Todd's defense: "I am not here to listen to your explanation. I am here to warn you of possible dangers."

Mary took a letter from her sleeve and put it on Todd's desk.

"what is this?"

"Three days ago, Gordon of White River Fort intercepted a letter. The recipient was the leader of the Blood Cursed Mercenary Corps. Most of the content of the letter was ciphers and secret words. But in general, it was referring to some of the West City in the West. People, planning to cooperate with the mercenary group inside and outside is not good for the kingdom."

After saying this, Mary stood up from her seat and said coldly: "The things I want to say have already been said. Next, there are still many things in the Holy Acropolis waiting for me to deal with."

"Mary, wait!"

Todd walked up to Mary and said gratefully: "I am very grateful to you for sending this letter. This is very important news for me..."

Mary looked at Todd ~lightnovelpub.net~ and stood still for a moment, her mouth opened slightly, her eyes soft and hesitant.

When Mary lowered her head and glanced across the ground inadvertently, a faint footprint made her stunned.

Glancing at the side door of the bedroom that was concealed, Mary pursed her lips, and her face quickly flashed sadness and pain.

"Your Majesty, please take care."

After leaving such a sentence, Mary walked out of the room without looking back.

Todd looked at Mary's leaving figure in astonishment, and couldn't figure out that her mood would suddenly change.

Rachel pushed open the door, stared in the direction of the door, and thought for a while with his hand resting on his chin.

Todd shrugged and said to Rachel: "As you can see, there is really nothing between me and her..."

Rachel gave Todd a roll of eyes, moved towards the door, and left a word before leaving.

"You really don't understand women."
