Blackstone Code

The sound of Governor Drago hammering the table caught his son's attention.

"What's wrong with you?"

Governor Drago raised his head and glanced at his son standing at the door of the room. He pondered for a while, then waved and handed over the letter in his hand, "In the future, you will sit where I am now and make choices. You Let’s talk about your views.”

Everyone has likes and dislikes, it's normal, even a father will have kids who like it and kids who don't.

In Governor Drago's heart, his eldest son and younger son are undoubtedly the people who please him the most.

The eldest son has been with him the longest. Of course, this is the advantage of almost all "boss". They came to the world earlier than other brothers and sisters. As long as their performance is not too bad, they will be loved by their parents.

He likes his younger son purely because of doting, or a change in himself. He is strict enough with other children, and he no longer wants to be like that. In addition, when his younger son was born, he was a little older. Let him have too much love for his youngest son for no reason.

As for the second son, he doesn't like it very much, he cares too much about calculations and ignores the advantages of being a ruler.

It’s not that conspiracy and calculation are bad, it’s just that that kind of method is not very suitable for rulers to rule their people. No matter what rulers need to do, they only need to have people post an announcement to do what they want to do. No conspiracy and conspiracy are needed. trick.

Using some conspiracies and tricks to realize the ideas of some rulers, to reverse people's ideas and actively cooperate with the rulers does seem to reduce the coldness and ruthlessness of power on the surface, but once exposed, it will become more troublesome.

People may hate a tyrant, but they hate rulers who are calculating, insidious and despicable.

As for the third son... the one in front of me, he seems to be very smart. He can summarize the ideas of other brothers, find their strengths and then add some of his own ideas. No matter what kind of assessment he gives, the answer is The safest, but Drago just doesn't like him.

There are not many reasons to like someone, but there are too many reasons to dislike someone.

He doesn't like that his son doesn't have his own opinions. He always rubs the eldest and second child's things together. He never expresses his own opinions.

If there is no opinion from the boss and the second, let him be the first to express his thoughts, and what he says is often inferior to the boss and the second.

He also found a way to win over Governor Drago's favorite youngest son to make his own amulet. This made Governor Drago often have to worry about his younger son's wishes when considering some suggestions put forward by his brothers. The idea is to favor the third child.

He also always wanted to please Governor Drago, pretending to be excellent, but Governor Drago could see through it at a glance, which made him feel that he disliked this child even more—— Even the brothers have to hide their scheming when they are together, how can they make their parents like it?

So the last time he had to make a choice, he sent the eldest, youngest and second child to the Federation, leaving only the third child.

The other three children were all a little disappointed, especially the eldest, who was the most disappointed, but he never knew that this was the real protection for him.

As for Lao San, who thinks all day long that he will inherit the status and power of the provincial governor, this is not a real love for him, but an act of giving up. Unfortunately, Lao San cannot see this at all.

The third child took the letter respectfully, read it quickly, and gave Governor Drago an answer at a speed he didn't expect.

"Father, I think we should be the first to stand up and advocate for secession from the United Kingdom." The third child gave the answer so fast that Governor Drago didn't even react.

In his imagination, after his son saw this letter, he would only have two emotions: "fear" and "uneasiness".

The fear was because this letter was actually teaching his father, the most powerful person in this region and this province, how to do things, and the tone was very disrespectful.

Some of the content in it should also make his son feel that a family like theirs is also under the control of the Federation, and that sense of involuntary uncontrollability will bring fear.

Then betrayal of the country will make people's conscience uneasy.

But there was none of these. There was only a young man who suppressed his excitement and quickly made a decision that he least wanted to face but had to face.

After a moment of silence, he looked up at his son, who was trying to look very calm, and asked, "Why did you choose this answer?"

The third child answered this question almost without thinking, "Father, everyone knows that the Federation's power in Nagaril will become stronger and stronger. You haven't gone out to see it for a long time. If you Once you have been out of time, you should understand that everything is different!”

"I don't know... how to describe what is happening. The entire society is rapidly changing from an old man who is about to die of old age to becoming young and full of vitality!"

"When you pass by the street, you can no longer see the lazy people sitting on the roadside chatting and sunbathing. People are busy looking for work."

“The content of people’s chats in their free time has also changed from vulgar topics to matters related to work and life.”

"You may not like what I say, but this is the fact. The Federation and the influence from the Federation are replacing us traditional rulers. The next Nagaril will be the era of the Federation! "

Looking at the boastful child, Governor Drago felt as if he was meeting him for the first time. This also made him realize that the federation's influence was so terrifying that it had begun to affect the people around the ruler.

He suddenly realized that in fact, what he chose was no longer important to the people of the Federation. The layout of the Federation and their plans had begun to work. At this time, no one could easily block the changes of the times and the changes of society.

People no longer care what traditional rulers say or even respect traditional rulers - see, that's what the federations are doing.

They are attacking the royal family. Once the royal family falls, the traditional authority that symbolizes secular power will be removed from people's hearts, and then the religious aspect.

At that time, Nagaril may become a "small federation", and he, other provincial governors and even the royal family will have no choice, because these are the people's own choices and what they want.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the newspaper on the corner of the table. The title "Who is hurting us" was half-covered. Apart from rulers like Governor Drago, who else could harm the people so unscrupulously?

This is the choice of the times. Maybe there will be some waves in the process of this change, such as the Al-Shabaab in Nagaril, but they are just waves and will not affect the direction of the flow of the trend.

When these heavy words of history and era begin to show their power, human will becomes particularly insignificant.

"Go and do your thing." Governor Drago sighed with some interest. The deep impression left on him by the old kingdom began to blur. He wanted to laugh a little. How could they resist the influence of society? At the bottom, a volcanic eruption that has been suppressed for hundreds of years?

The third child bowed and bowed before leaving. Just as he was about to leave, Governor Drago spoke again, "Be prepared and let the tailor make your clothes."

The third child suddenly turned around and looked at Governor Drago, a little at a loss, and his face was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, "Father, you..."

Governor Drago said nothing, just waved his hand and asked his son to leave.

What he meant was actually very obvious, he was ready to "give way".

Seeing his son leaving with a happy face and brisk footsteps, Governor Drago suddenly felt that it was absurd and funny.

A son is ecstatic because his father is about to lose power. This...is probably power!

He sighed heavily, looked at the letter in his hand, and remembered what the butler said in his mind - "The third young master has read a lot of books from the Federation recently, and has become good friends with some young Federation businessmen."

Life is about making choices again and again. No matter how hesitant, fearful or helpless you are, you must make a choice.

At this time, the high priest was also making roughly the same decision as Governor Drago.

Under his "throne", priests from all over the province had gathered together. Looking at these priests with gloomy and cold faces, the high priest felt a sense of unhappiness for the first time.

He licked his lips, and the expression on his face turned fanatical for a moment.

"The god told me in his dream last night that he wants to choose a new high priest. When you go back, each of you will cast a golden statue for the god and then send it to me."

"Whoever the god descends on the statue sent to him will be the next high priest!"

He opened his eyes that seemed to be unable to open. The tattoos on his face made him look a little disgusting because of the loose skin, but his eyes were very bright, and his gaze fell on everyone as if they were real.

Whenever he looked at someone, that person would lower his head and put his forehead on the ground to show respect for the god.

After all, the high priest also represents the incarnation of the gods walking on earth to a certain extent. Respecting the high priest means respecting the gods.

"No one close to me will participate in this selection. The final candidate will definitely be born among you. Do you understand?"

The priests were not too enthusiastic before. This kind of thing would happen to each generation of high priests when they got old. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just to collect money. It was not up to them to decide who would fall on them in the end. Anyway, it never fell on others. over.

But now, everyone is excited. The words of the high priest mean that a family of religious rulers is about to withdraw from the stage of history.

At the same time, a brand new religious family will be born!

They will definitely do their best to send piles of gold, so that the high priest will finally choose himself!
