War Lord

Chapter 189: Ideal Township

"Whether you are Ben or Odin, I want to know why? Perhaps, what value do I have for the Hall of Valor?"

Ling looked at the old man who used to be acquainted with Remute and now stands tall, and asked in a plain tone.

The original Zhao Zhao beckoned: "Come here, Zero."

Zero had no objection. He walked behind the old man and looked at the prosperous city below with him.

"You are very smart, zero. This is good, so that we can talk a lot less effort. I will tell you the answer, but before that, I want to hear your views on this city... Asgart." Ben held his hands, looked at the blue sky and white clouds mapped out by the holographic board outside the fence and said.

"This is the best city I have ever seen." Ling Weiyi groaned and said, "Although it has a strict hierarchy, when passing through the city, I can feel that it is full of vitality. This is something other cities cannot. Give me the feeling."

Ben nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your feeling is still so keen. Although you have only come to this city not long ago, you can already feel its most original things. That's right, that's vitality. Vitality does not come from purely. Material comes from the hearts of the people living in this city."

"The strict level is to let people know where they are, but in any field, I have reserved opportunities and channels for promotion. In this city, everyone's destiny is not static. Through hard work and Creation, even the lowest slaves have the opportunity to change their destiny. Just like my main hall reserved six seats of gods, as long as you have talent, you can stand at the highest position and see different scenery." Ben blinks He blinked his eyes and said: "Vitality comes from competition and change. When people see the light of hope to change their destiny, you will find that the lowest-level people are also full of enthusiasm and creativity, and they are also the foundation of urban development. ."

Zero showed a thoughtful expression.

As Ben said, he just intuitively felt the special atmosphere of this city. Now that it has been specifically described by Ben, Zero also sees the essence of Asgartchi which is different from other wilderness cities.

But what made him feel more deeply was Benna's different ideas. Take the top managers of many cities along the coast as an example. No one wants to hold the center of power tightly in his own hands. Even if there is a promotion mechanism in the city's management system, it will never put the promotion opportunity on the lowest level slaves like this.

It can be said that this approach made Asgart so close to those democratic and free cities in the old days.

Of course, this world is not completely free. This is true in the old times, and even more so in the turbulent times. The Asgart class still exists, because it is an indispensable link in the consolidation of urban power. But Asgart is obviously much more free than any city in the wilderness. Although it is a city of miracles, Zero feels that it is more like a city of hope!

"Do you know zero? I am one of the survivors of the catastrophe. I witnessed the darkest time with my own eyes. It was my dream when I was young to build a free and democratic city like the old times without pollution. And now, it has been I realized a small part, at least in Asgart, I realized a small part of the so-called freedom that countless people regarded as naive. Asgart is an ideal home for me and everyone living in it!" Speaking of this, the tone changed and he became a little heavy and said: "But any ideal is realized through suffering, and Asgart is no exception. Those who had the same ideals as me back then are only left now. I am alone. Occasionally I feel very sad to think that those respectable comrades in arms can’t share their achievements with me. But it’s the same, I can keep telling myself that it’s not easy to realize my ideals, and I still need to keep working hard before I can fully Realize our original idea."

He patted Ling on the shoulder, and the old man motioned to Ling to sit down on the sofa. He picked up a bottle of whiskey on the table and poured his arms on him.

"Zero, a person's power is limited. No matter how hard I try, I can't build the ideal country with one person's power. This requires many like-minded comrades to join the ranks, such as you." Pointed to the zero road.

Ling shook his head and said: "As you can see, I'm just a mercenary in the wilderness, and my ability is not necessarily outstanding..."

"No, no," Ben interrupted Zero, and said meaningfully: "Never look down on yourself, not to mention Zero you have great value that you don't even know. You can't imagine, maybe through you, we You can come into contact with another civilization. A civilization that once existed and was powerful, but disappeared in the long river of human history."

For some reason, Zero's heart beat suddenly and violently. Ben's words reminded him of the six-wing spacecraft found in the bottom of the fissure, and the unknown civilization on that ship.

"To understand yourself and the mysterious civilization, you must first understand our Hall of Valor and the origin of the city of Asgart~lightnovelpub.net~ The old man sighed after taking a sip of whiskey. He put down his wine glass and continued: "You should know the Dark Council, right? "

Zero nodded.

"In fact, when the Dark Council was established, it was entirely out of the will to re-excavate human civilization in order to build an ideal country that is free, democratic, and finds a way for all mankind to continue to survive. My Asgart, but also a parliament The initial ideal was a blueprint and a city built to continue this ideal." Ben’s eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and even his voice became hollow. He fell into the memory of the old time, with a sound like a dream. Said: "I was one of the core members of the parliament back then. At that time, everyone had no selfishness. The days of fighting for the same goal were really fulfilling and moving. However, when the parliament began to take shape, it was caused by differences in beliefs. Disagreements and contradictions appeared. At that time the parliament had begun to grow stronger and possessed a lot of manpower and material resources. In fact, we were only one step away from realizing our ideals, but the corruption of the human heart finally changed the nature of the parliament."

"Some people think that we should build a feudal kingdom centered on the strong and use the weak and incompetent to enshrine themselves with the resources they currently have. This is completely contrary to our original assumptions, so I and a few others Comrades strongly opposed. Those who had no choice but to support that idea accounted for the majority, and our voice of opposition was quickly rejected. In indignation, we chose to leave the parliament. However, those who put themselves on the height of God feared that we would lead us. Taking the resources of the parliament, we actually launched a conspiracy attack on us. Perhaps from that moment, the parliament has begun to show its dark nature." Ben slightly narrowed his eyes and said: "The former comrade who proposed to attack us is now. The Speaker of the Parliament is dark and terrifying Oglock!"
