The last sentence was categorical and shocked Lan Lan.
She looked at Chen Daolin in surprise, as if she recognized him for the first time.
Facing Lan Lan's eyes, Chen Daolin felt some pain in his heart, took a deep breath, tried to raise a smile, and then tried to make his voice as calm as possible: "Now, can I go?"
Lan Lan opened her lips, but she still didn't say a word.
Chen Daolin took a deep look at her, took Barossa's hand, turned around, and headed south.
Originally, there were still tulip warriors around, but when they saw the two leaving, they seemed to hesitate and did not come up to stop them.
Chen Daolin's steps became faster and faster, and after walking about ten steps, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Wait a minute" Lan Lan's body tightened, and she felt a warm body on her back, and the Messiah's palm rested on her shoulder.
Lan Lan turned her head sideways, and the Messiah smiled at herself, the afternoon sun was shining on her face, the curve of her face was soft, but her eyes were as deep as the sea.
The Messiah cried softly.
Chen Daolin naturally heard it, although he didn't want to pay attention to it, but this is a place for people.
Hearing the voice of the Messiah, the warrior of the Tulip family came up and blocked the way.
Chen Daolin's face was extremely ugly, he turned around, looked at the Messiah, took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart: "May I ask Your Excellency, do you have any other advice?"
Messiah's face was still pale, and it seemed that his spirit had not fully recovered, she looked at Chen Daolin, and then at Lan Lan beside her, pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Darling, I just woke up and learned about last night's events, these are all my royal majesty's laxity and offended Your Excellency, and I am here to make amends to you." ” As she spoke, she raised her hand to Chen Daolin and bowed, and seriously owed her body.
Chen Daolin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this big man of the tulip family would really bend his waist to such a small role.
Messiah's expression was calm: "I heard that Your Excellency was unjustly treated by my subordinates last night, and I have only heard about this matter, and I will definitely give Your Excellency an explanation." ” "Gyan."
Messiah's face was calm, and he shouted softly, and Geyan immediately walked to Messiah's side from behind, bowed his head and said, "Young master." ” "It's your people, call them."
The Messiah's face was neither pleased nor angry, and his tone seemed to be flat.
However, Ge Yan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but say, "Young master, I have already taught a lesson last night."
Messiah frowned slightly, did not speak, but squinted his eyes and glanced at Ge Yan, who suddenly showed a look of fear, quickly closed his mouth, bent down and took two steps back.
He reluctantly took a deep breath and turned to walk away.
In less than a moment, Gyan led the Charlotte back.
Charlotte went directly to the Messiah and knelt there on one knee.
This guy was arrogant before, but now he is trembling, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head.
"Your name is Charlotte, isn't it?"
the Messiah muttered, "Northwesterners" Charlotte took a deep breath and raised her head, looking a little nervous: "Yes." ” The Messiah's tone seemed to be very calm, as if there was no trace of anger: "What happened last night, but you acted without permission and offended this guest" Charlotte closed her mouth, as if she didn't know how to answer.
Ge Yan interjected on the side: "Young master, he is also worried about your safety, you were unconscious at that time, he just wanted to leave Mr.
Darling to ask for clarification, so as not to" As soon as Gyan said this, the Messiah suddenly laughed.
There was such a smile on her face, but her brows were frowning, and her tone seemed to be very relaxed, and she said lightly: "Well, Geyan, your person, I can't ask, right?"
This fluttering sentence suddenly made Ge's face pale, he shook his body, quickly stepped back, bowed his head and said, "No, don't dare" "How dare you."
The Messiah sighed, still pleasant, and his tone was indifferent: "As the leader of the team, if you hadn't been strict in discipline and indulged in their behavior, how would he dare to mess around without permission, fly high, and bully others."
Ge Yan's face became more and more ugly.
The Messiah no longer looked at Geyan, but looked at Charlotte in front of him again: "I'll just ask you one question, you should know that when you set out from the elven tribe, this Mr.
Darling was already a guest invited by the family to accompany you."
"I, I know."
Charlotte gritted her teeth.
"Well, since you know that you are a guest, where did you dare to come so messy" Messiah smiled lightly: "It's because you have a title like Tulip Family on your head, do you know, Mr.
Darling is our guest, and you dare to face each other with a sword, if it were an ordinary stranger, wouldn't you be even more out of line?"
Speaking of this, the Messiah finally turned his head to look at Geyan: "As the team leader, how did you deal with it?"
"I" Ge Yan turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It's just that he was here for a long time, but he couldn't say anything after all.
He originally wanted to say something like "I will punish him when I go back", but the young master of the family in front of him, who was famous for his intelligence, was not a fool, and if he said such a deceitful words, he was afraid that it would cause Shao to take the initiative to anger.
"Well, it looks like you didn't deal with him."
Messiah nodded, her face was still calm, not showing the slightest anger, and said lightly: "Since you don't deal with it, then I will do it for you, you see how it is" "No, don't dare" Ge Yan finally knelt down on one knee, his palms trembling slightly.
"Hmm."
Messiah thought for a while, looked at Charlotte, and said lightly: "I know that the family is powerful, and those of you who walk outside are proud of the family in your hearts, and you are proud of it, and it is inevitable that you will act more publicly, and these are also human nature."

But the family has already set a rule, if you rely on the identity of the family to do mischief, you will be punished according to the family rules.
Since your team leader is soft-hearted and will not punish you, then I will do this thing. ” "Less, less master."
Xia Luo's body trembled, and he raised his head and argued loudly: "I, I was just worried about the safety of the young master last night, so I would" Messiah smiled, she looked at Charlotte, and said softly, "You are a little clever, but do you know that if you honestly admit your mistakes and be punished, this matter will be over."
But you still have to be clever, and use this excuse to prevaricate, I will only think that you are not right."
She looked at Charlotte's face, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll convince you." ” She looked at the two Tulip family guards around her, and said lightly, "You all come here." ” The two guards around him immediately stepped forward and stood beside Charlotte with their hands down.
"I ask you, after this Mr.
Darling was brought back last night, I heard that you left him to sit in front of this fire all night, and did not allow him to move around, nor to give him food or drink, is there such a thing?"
The two hesitated for a moment, but in front of the young master of the family, they finally didn't have the courage to lie, and nodded one after another.
"I'm just curious, last night, it stands to reason that I passed out, your hearts are anxious and chaotic, except for the people who keep guards, the rest of them are guarding my tent, but I didn't expect you two to have such a big leisure, thinking about this Mr.
Darling, staring at this Mr.
Darling."
Messiah smiled faintly: "I just want to ask, how can you be so hearty" The faces of the two suddenly turned ugly.
"Could it be that Captain Geyan told you to do this, and asked you to watch Mr.
Darling carefully, and told you not to move around, not to give him food and drink?"
The two of them were shocked, and they quickly shook their heads and said in unison: "There is no such thing, Brother Geyan will never do this."
"Well, then I'm curious, how can you have such consciousness" Messiah said lightly: "Everyone else cares about my safety and stays outside my tent, but you two stay by this campfire and stare at Mr.
Darling, can you explain this thought to me?"
The two looked at each other, and finally the man on the left raised his head, first glanced at Charlotte, cast an apologetic look, and then took a deep breath and faced the Messiah: "Young master face to face, don't dare to lie It was Brother Charlotte who told us to do this, he said that Mr.
Darling offended him, let's give Mr.
Darling a little hardship." ” The man on the right nodded.
"Hmm."
The Messiah sneered: "The fault of the two of you, you will be punished later." ” She looked at Charlotte again: "Are you convinced, do you still want to say that it is out of public interest?"
Charlotte's expression was extremely difficult to see, and she lowered her head: "I" "You are arrogant and domineering, although this thing violates the clan rules, I will punish you at most.
But if you do something wrong, and you still intend to play such a clever way, and use high-sounding words and excuses to cover it up, I don't take this kind of mental trick" The Messiah said lightly: "You have such a little cleverness, but you don't need to be above the right path, and if you do something wrong, the harm will be even greater." ” Xia Luo's body trembled, raised his head, his face showed pleading, and hurriedly said: "Young master, I, I did something wrong, I beg the young master to be there."
"Is it on your years of hard work" Messiah interrupted him lightly, then turned his head to look at Ge Yan, and found that Ge Yan also looked like he wanted to say something, and frowned: "Ge Yan, do you also ask for mercy?"
Ge Yan hesitated for a moment, finally raised his head, and asked: "Young master, although Xia Luo's temperament is a little extreme, he has served the family for many years, and he has no merit and hard work from birth to death."
"So, you think you can make up for it, right" Messiah sighed, she looked at Ge Yan, her eyes became cold little by little: "Ge Yan, you actually think like this, it really disappoints me."
I came north this time, and by the way, I also wanted to see how the trade route in the north was doing, and the stewards at home had recommended you to me, saying that you were bold and careful, shrewd and capable, and a talent.
But what you did really disappointed me."
The Messiah's tone gradually became heavier: "You are lenient with your subordinates, and I will not say anything about you for your lax discipline."
But the idea of making up for the mistake made me very disappointed in you, do you know, my tulip family can stand in the world, and the difference between other wealthy families is that my tulip family has always been the most disciplined, and the ancestors left words when they started the family, "There are no rules, but unfortunately you people have forgotten one by one."
Her eyes were full of pity: "You probably think that Charlotte has served the family for many years, and now that he has made a mistake, he has to implement the family rules, which is too unreasonable, right, but let me ask you, in the family, who has not worked for the family for many years, who has not been born and died for the family, if you make a mistake, you have to be emotional, so what is the use of the family rules?"
Her voice was raised a little higher, her tone was a little heavier, and she said angrily: "Your subordinates make mistakes, and you, as the team leader, are not punished, but you just want to be flexible, if you do this to you, what is the use of the rules, since the rules are established, they are used to enforce them, not for you to use them casually."
Sweat trickled down his forehead, and he bowed his head deeply, not daring to look at the Messiah's face.
"I'm disappointed that you're the leader of the team like this."
The Messiah shook his head.
She no longer looked at Geyan, and looked at Xia Luo: "According to the clan rules, you will be fined half a year's salary, you will be demoted to three levels, and you don't have to do the work of the caravan, after you go back, you will go to the military justice department to declare, and then go to the northwest to raise horses within three years, if you make mistakes again, you will get rid of the family, if you perform well within three years, then slowly climb the level again." ” She finished speaking in one breath, squinting her eyes: "I punish you like this, you can be convinced" Charlotte's face was as dead as ashes, and her heart was full of frustration.
You must know that he has served in the Tulip family's private army since he became an adult, and it has been more than ten years since then, and his military rank has finally been promoted to the rank of deputy team, and the Tulip family's private army has always been treated very well, which is higher than the regular army of the empire and the private army of other noble families.
What's more, the trade route of the frozen forest in the north is even more of a fat gap, and it took me so many years to finally get to this position, the northern trade, in and out of the frozen forest once, and the receipt of private hunting, can be worth a year's salary, and trade back and forth two or three times a year, this kind of income makes the old colleagues in the family's private army red-eyed.
But now, the young master said that he would be punished, and he was lowered by three levels in one breath, which was almost a blow to the end and he lost the position of the northern caravan and was assigned to the northwest to raise horses In that place in the northwest, there are just those barbarians on the grassland, selling cattle and sheep, what oil and water can there be Xia Luo was full of regret in his heart, and the more he hated Chen Daolin in his heart.
It's just that the Messiah is in front of him, where does he dare to make another time, just hang his head, his body trembles, he doesn't dare to raise his head, he doesn't dare to let this young master see his expression.
"Less, young master" Ge couldn't bear it: "This punishment, isn't it too heavy?"
He knew that the young master was already very dissatisfied with him, but after all, Xia Luo was an old subordinate who had been with him for several years, even if he risked provoking the young master to get angry, Ge Yan couldn't help but beg.
At this point, although Geyan is at fault, he is indeed not thin on his subordinate brothers.
Messiah glanced at Geyan, but he didn't get angry again, and said lightly: "Geyan, what do you want to say" "He, our brothers in the caravan, also work with their heads for the family to enter and exit the frozen forest.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Charlotte had made a mistake, but " "As the head of the family, I naturally know that everyone works hard."
Messiah looked at Geyan and said, "But the family has never treated everyone poorly.
The brothers of the northern caravans have always been treated at the highest level in the family.
The clan also allows you to hunt in the frozen forest, and you are even allowed to bring smuggling goods to China in the name of the family to sell.
These things, one by one, can be regarded as everyone's reward for serving the family and enduring hardships.
The family has never owed everyone a credit, the family has already rewarded it, so when you make a mistake, you can use these credits to speak, Geyan, do you have a brain?"
The Messiah was really angry, and she looked at Geyan and was angry.
Originally, before coming north this time, I had carefully read the dossier of the northern trade route and learned some information, and the housekeeper also focused on recommending a few capable people in the north, and Ge Yan was one of the people who strongly recommended him.
But today, the Messiah was deeply disappointed.
Even if Ge Yan has many advantages in other aspects, no matter how shrewd, capable, courageous and careful he is, he just looks at his rewards and punishments are not clear, and his majesty is not strict.
Such a person is never worth reusing.
Geyan was reprimanded by the Messiah, and finally sighed, not daring to tell anymore.
"As the team leader, Ge Yan is not strict, and you will be fined half a year's salary."
Although the Messiah said this, he made up his mind that after he returned, this man would never be able to stay in such an important place as the northern trade route.
He is about to inherit the title and take full control of the family, and in the plan of the Messiah's heart, this northern trade route has a decisive importance in the future development of the family, and such an important place, a person like Geyan must not be placed here.
It's just that she saved face for Ge Yan, so naturally she won't say it to her face, and it's not too late to deal with it when she goes back.
As for the other two warriors who helped Charlotte in his misdeeds, they were also fined by the Messiah and ordered to be confined for three days after returning.
Chen Daolin saw it in his eyes, although he looked at this tulip family very unpleasantly in his heart, but he also had to have a trace of helpless admiration for this Messiah.
Although this girl is not very old, her words and deeds at this moment are clear in rewards and punishments, and she is full of the demeanor of a big family leader.
This kind of temperament can't be learned by yourself.
After the Messiah finished dealing with the family affairs, he asked everyone to retreat, and then she looked at Chen Daolin with a peaceful smile on her face: "Let Your Excellency laugh at my handling like this, and your Excellency will be satisfied."
Chen Daolin was silent for a while, and bowed his hand to the Messiah: "Thank you."
I think it's fair for you to do this.
Last night's incident was written off. ” Although what happened to him last night was indeed very angry, Chen Daolin also had to admit that the Messiah's punishment, whether it was face or lining, was enough for himself.
And there is no one who covers her at all, and the boards are all implemented.
Being willing to truly punish his subordinates for the sake of being an outsider is already benevolent and righteous.
"Your Excellency, you're welcome."
Messiah smiled, her eyes were naturally a little slender, and when she laughed, her eyes seemed to narrow into a line, and she said lightly: "I punished them, firstly, to repay Your Excellency justice, and secondly, but also to establish rules for the family." ” After a pause, she looked at Chen Daolin: "Since last night's incident has been turned over, Your Excellency Darling, do you still want to leave?"
Chen Daolin frowned, and said: "I have nothing to do with your family, since the matter has been settled, I naturally have my place, are you?"
"I don't mean anything else."
Messiah smiled faintly, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Barossa beside Chen Daolin, and said, "I know that Your Excellency Darling wants to go south, but this road to the south is probably not very peaceful.
The area south of the Great Round Lake in the frozen forest has been encroached upon by those orcs for many years, and has gradually become the territory of the orc race.
The farther south you go, the more orc rangers you have.
Moreover, even if you get out of this frozen forest, it is also the territory of the orcs, and you have to walk hundreds of miles on the plains to enter the territory of my Roland Empire.
In this way, even if Your Excellency is smooth sailing, it will take about twenty days to reach the Roland Empire.
Your Excellency Darling and this elf friend, the two of you in this frozen forest, if you meet the orc patrol team, I am afraid that there will be trouble, it is better to go with us, everyone also has a care, only this flag of my tulip family is here, the orc patrol team will not come to provoke, even if it goes out of the forest and passes through the orc kingdom, those brutes also want to give my tulip family some face. ” Speaking of this, Messiah looked at Chen Daolin's face and said slowly: "What's more, I still have some things here, and I really want to ask His Excellency Darling for advice. ” Chen Daolin really refused to be wrapped up with these tulip family people anymore.
As soon as he came, he punished his subordinates for himself, and if he stayed, he would definitely be hated and looked down upon.
As for the second, of course, it is because Lan Lan has made up her mind that she will no longer have any thoughts about her, so it is a smart choice to leave as soon as possible and go far away, and stay here again, if you are not clear or clean, I am afraid that it will be really entangled.
When Chen Daolin thought of this, he was about to refuse.
But this Messiah is really a very smart woman, as soon as she saw Chen Daolin's eyebrows, she knew his thoughts, and without waiting for Chen Daolin's refusal to come out, she took the lead and said, "I know that Your Excellency is arrogant, because of last night's incident, you really don't want to stay with me as a companion, so I am not strong."
Since Your Excellency does not want to be with us, I have a way of compromise. ” "What" Chen Daolin frowned.
"As I said, this road is very difficult, and those orc rangers have encountered it, but I'm afraid that Mr.
Darling and this elven friend will have some trouble coping with it."
This is polite, but in fact, Chen Daolin and Barossa have no ability to resist.
Messiah smiled lightly: "It's better to do this, Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Darling and this elven friend can walk behind our team, as long as everyone is not wrapped together, they can be divided into two teams."
You go yours, we go ours, and we don't interfere with each other.
Accommodation and food are separated, the well water does not interfere with the river water, how" That's fine When Chen Daolin heard this, he felt that something was wrong, isn't this too cheap for himself This is simply taking the initiative to be a pioneer for free Besides, how much difference is there between doing this and being wrapped up in a direct group But This woman is right about one thing.
With himself and Barossa, an elf chick, going south, it would be really dangerous if they met orcs.
But he just said such a tough thing, which took advantage of the other party again, even if Chen Daolin was not thin-skinned, he couldn't do such an unethical thing.
Just as she was about to refuse, the Messiah woman was really cunning, and threw it over lightly: "I know that Mr.
Darling, you are very high-spirited, but this elf friend has followed you all the way, if you encounter any danger, you can't bear to come to Mr.
Darling."
Damn it This is to use Barossa to force Chen Daolin to comply.
Indeed, Chen Daolin's temperament comes up, no matter what you say, Lao Tzu will raise his legs and go what orcs are not orcs, Lao Tzu has any door, and he can leave this ghost place at any time But with Barossa by his side, Chen Daolin can't come with his own temperament.
If you encounter an orc, wouldn't it hurt this elf girl to accompany her into danger?
"Mr.
Darling is not willing to be favored."
The Messiah continued: "Actually, I have selfish intentions in keeping Mr.
Bitter.
I was really curious about what Mr.
Darling said about his homeland overseas.
As I said last night, my ancestors are only afraid that they have something to do with your homeland, and I have a lot of questions and curiosity in my heart, and I want to ask Mr.
Darling to solve my doubts, if Darling shows up and is willing to stay, then I have received your favor. ” The owner of her dignified tulip family has already lowered her posture when she speaks, and with this kind of posture, Chen Daolin really can't say anything.
"Okay."
Chen Daolin thought for a while: "I'll walk slowly behind your team, you go yours, I'll go mine."
Everyone's well water does not interfere with river water. ” In the afternoon, the team returned to the road.
Chen Daolin was also tough, and after the tulip family's team opened the way first, he and Barossa slowly followed behind, always keeping a distance of about dozens of meters from the tulip family's team.
Originally, Tulip's family had a convoy, and Chen Daolin and Barossa walked together, so they inevitably had to suffer some losses.
However, Barossa gave Chen Daolin a big surprise.
The elven girl, not knowing what magic she had cast, picked up a leaf and put it in her mouth, and blew a melodious tune, which sounded through the woods, and a moment later several white deer with horns on their foreheads ran out.
This white deer has a majestic body, and the horns on its forehead are nearly two meters long The appearance of this group of white deer alarmed the tulip family in front, and some samurai couldn't help but pick up bows and arrows to shoot, but fortunately they were stopped by the Messiah.
The group of white deer ran up to Barossa, and the elf reached out and touched the nose of the white deer, leaning over and whispering for a while.
Then she greeted Chen Daolin, pulled Chen Daolin and turned over and jumped onto the white deer.
Chen Daolin can't even ride a horse, let alone ride a deer.
Fortunately, this white deer has great strength, and it runs more smoothly than ordinary horses, and Chen Daolin simply grabbed the horns on the deer's head one by one, anyway, he doesn't need to control it, as long as he sits firm, it's not difficult.
As for Barossa, she also picked a slightly smaller white deer and turned over and rode it.
The two of them rode a deer and followed the group, saving them the hard work of walking.
When they stopped to rest that night, Chen Daolin and Barossa lit a bonfire a few dozen meters behind the tulip family's team.
Barossa found some brightly colored berries from the bushes, and the two of them had dinner.
Just after dinner, suddenly Barossa pulled Chen Daolin, and he looked up, and saw the Messiah slowly approaching.
The Messiah came alone, wearing a loose black robe, which had a unique style, from head to toe, enveloping her whole person, only revealing her head.
"Mr.
Darling, it's time for dinner" Messiah smiled calmly: "If you don't dislike it, I" "No need."
Chen Daolin nodded lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, I have eaten a lot." ” "Hmm."
The Messiah was not angry, and walked over slowly, regardless of whether Chen Daolin was willing or not, he sat down directly by the bonfire, and looked at each other face to face with Chen Daolin across the bonfire.
"What else do you have to do," Chen Daolin sighed helplessly.
"Just a few questions."
The Messiah still smiled calmly, and Chen Daolin found that it seemed difficult for this woman to have mood swings or make her angry.
"Just ask."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Chen Daolin shook his head: "But I don't promise to answer you." ” The Messiah didn't care, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Your Excellency Darling, can you tell me about your homeland?"
Chen Daolin frowned, thought about it, and shook his head: "I don't know where to start." ” "Then tell me about your country's form of government."
The Messiah laughed, "I'm curious about a kingdom without an empire. ” "Then you should ask the elves."
Chen Daolin said lightly: "Isn't the elf clan also without an emperor, besides, the political system of my homeland, I'm afraid that if you know it, it will be impossible to learn to do it." ” "Oh" Messiah's eyes lit up: "Why do I just think that in a country without an imperial system, the country is no longer a dictatorship by a high emperor, but a group of people come to discuss state affairs, this situation makes people think about it every time, and they can't help but yearn for why" Chen Daolin's heart moved, he squinted at this messian, and seemed to smile: "You are the Duke of Tulip, if you say this, if you let your emperor know, aren't you afraid?"
"It's just a discussion."
The Messiah didn't care: "Your Excellency, can you help me with my doubts?"
"It's impossible for you to copy it, so naturally I have a reason."
Chen Daolin thought for a while, looked at the Messiah in front of him with a sincere expression of inquiry, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, recalled some of what he had learned, and said: "Let me say this in my world, that overseas country, our country has no emperor, that kind of government, which we call democracy. ” The heart of the "democratic" Messiah lit up.
I seem to have seen this word in some of the ancestor's secret notes.
"Well, democracy, as the name suggests, is that the people themselves make the decisions.
Since there is no emperor, then the people themselves must elect a group of people to be responsible for state affairs. ” When the Messiah heard this, her eyes brightened up more and more, and she pondered for a moment: "Everyone is in power together, what if there is a big matter of disagreement" "The people who are elected will naturally have the main and the auxiliary, and there will always be one person who is the main person, and we call it well, the president."
I don't know why, Chen Daolin didn't say the political system of his motherland, but simply said what he knew about the political system of Western countries, he coughed, and said: "The president is a bit similar to your emperor, but his authority is far inferior."
First, the president is not hereditary, but elected.
Second, the president's power is limited and supervised by all parties, and it is impossible to be authoritarian.
In addition, the powers of the state are also separated" Chen Daolin roughly talked about some "separation of powers", these things really made the Messiah listen to it fascinated, hearing that the Congress can refute the president's bills, the country's legislative power, and the president can be impeached, and many other things.
Messiah's eyes became brighter and brighter, and although his expression did not change much, he couldn't help but subconsciously breathe a lot faster.
She is an extremely smart person, and as soon as she heard it, she became extremely interested in this so-called "democratic" system, but after Chen Daolin deliberately said this, he smiled lightly: "It's a pity, even if you are interested, I also said that these things will never be copied in your country." ” "Yes, there are royalty, powerful and noble classes in my Roland Empire."
The Messiah shook his head and sighed, "It is good to hear about such things, and do not spread them, otherwise it will be appalling." ” "That's not what I meant."
Chen Daolin smiled proudly: "Even if the emperor and nobles of your country are willing to give up their throne and power, this thing will never be possible." ” "Why" Chen Daolin laughed, looking at this woman who seriously consulted him, and felt a little proud in his heart: "It's very simple, the people's wisdom has not been opened, how can we talk about democracy" The Messiah froze.
"Excuse me, Lord Duke."
Chen Daolin said with a smile: "Among the population of your country, what proportion of people are literate and literate?"
The Messiah frowned, "In my homeland, everyone is literate, and everyone goes to school."
Chen Daolin said with a smile: "Everyone is familiar with history and current affairs, and everyone can talk about the past and the present.
The wisdom of the people has been opened, and I think that in your country, I am afraid that this will not be possible at all."
"It really can't be done."
The Messiah let out a long sigh.
The shock in the heart of the Messiah, who is literate, is truly incomparable You must know that after the first duke of the Tulip family came to power more than a hundred years ago, in the past hundred years, the Tulip family has maintained a solid position in the empire and vigorously promoted various governing methods, one of which is to vigorously promote education.
But despite this, in the past hundred years, only in some large cities in the empire can be literate and literate, there are places where official schools have been opened.
And only those with better family conditions have the financial resources to send their children to school.
More often than not, the Empire's finances are limited and it has to guard against the orcs in the north, ready for a possible war.
With limited finances, it is impossible to undertake more tasks in running schools.
Although the literacy rate has increased by an unknown number of times in the past 100 years, it is still far from the fantastic standard of literacy for everyone.
Even in a bustling big city, if two or three out of ten families can send their children to study, it can already be regarded as an archon's outstanding political achievements After hearing this, the Messiah was silent for a long time before he sighed: "The people are not wise, and the people do not know what civil rights are, let alone what righteousness is, so how can they talk about democracy."
You can't let a group of small people who don't even know a few words to control the affairs of the country, Your Excellency's words, concise and to the point, I thought it was too simple before. ” The Messiah then wanted to ask something else, but Chen Daolin was reluctant to continue.
If nothing else, he knew that the ancestor of the Tulip family was a time-traveler like himself I have to figure out what the world has been played with by him before I can make a plan.
This Messiah wants to talk from Chen Daolin's mouth, why doesn't Chen Daolin want to learn some things about the Roland Empire through her Chen Daolin asked some about the customs of the Roland Empire, and the Messiah also said some casually, anyway, Chen Daolin will naturally see and hear these situations after he goes south, but there is no need to hide them.
From the mouth of the Messiah, Chen Daolin finally had a general understanding of the long-famous Roland Empire: The empire is called Roland, and it has been around for more than a thousand years.
At this moment, in the country, there is naturally an imperial emperor in power, and under the emperor, there are ministers and nobles who rely on him.
The Tulip family is naturally the pillars of the country, and the royal family has always relied on the humerus.
In addition, the Roland Empire also has a church called the Temple of Light.
This church worships the goddess of light and is the largest religion in the empire.
It also has considerable power.
However, in recent years, this religion has gradually declined.
Because a hundred years ago, this Temple of Light Church was still very important in the Empire, and it could even compete with the royal family, and the struggle between the divine right and the imperial power has existed since the founding of the Empire.
But a hundred years ago, there was a legendary man in the empire, and that was the first Duke Tulip.

That duke can be called the unborn genius of the empire, after taking power, he commanded the army against the invasion of foreign races, subdued the alien race led by the elves, let the dwarves go away, and let the orcs submit.
Internally, it led to a series of power changes, first of all, it vigorously suppressed the Temple of Light, and deprived the church of many privileges step by step.
In particular, the prohibition of the church from having its own army is to dig out the foundation of the church against the imperial power from the roots.
The first Duke Tulip was overwhelmed by the supreme prestige of leading the victory of the human war, and after being disarmed, he was deprived of many rights, such as the right to tax and the right to judge.
And the descendants of the first Duke Tulip also adhered to the strategy of their ancestors and constantly suppressed the church.
Today, the Church of the Temple of Light, which once dominated the empire for thousands of years and could compete with the imperial power, has almost completely degenerated into a religious organization, and the Holy Knights, who once had the famous name in the church, have only retained a small number of symbolic establishments, and the church armed forces stationed in various dioceses have all been abolished.
The Church also lost the power to collect taxes in the diocese.
By force and financial resources, the foundation of the church was completely severed.
Today's Temple of Light can only honestly preach doctrines, and can no longer compete with the royal family. can only be submissive to the royal family, and obey orders.
You must know that a hundred years ago, when the Church was in the limelight, even the change of the emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor had to be recognized by His Majesty the Pope of the Church to be considered legitimate Thinking about the scenery of the past, today's Temple of Light Church can be said to be in decline.
However, in addition to the Church, there were other important organizations in the Roland Empire.
First and foremost, the Wizards' Guild.
Speaking of magicians, Chen Daolin was immediately shocked He had already given up the way of practicing martial arts in his heart, but since he was mixed up in this world, he had to think of learning to write the ability to make a living.
I can't practice martial arts, so I naturally think that if I can become a magician, I will be very majestic.
"The Wizards' Guild is a guild that manages the wizards' community."
Messiah smiled: "The assessment of the magician's level, many rights and interests, all need to be maintained by the magician's union.
During the war a hundred years ago, my ancestor Lord Du Wei was a great magician, leading many magicians to make great contributions in the war.
So to this day, magicians are highly respected in the Empire.
Moreover, magicians have always enjoyed a lot of privileges in the empire, and Mr.
President, the chairman of the Magicians' Guild, has a high prestige on the mainland, and even His Majesty the Pope of the Church is quite inferior. ” "Then, if you want to become a magician, what is the way?"
asked Chen Daolin.
Messiah smiled, she glanced at Chen Daolin, and said, "The tradition of magicians is that masters and apprentices teach each other privately.
However, a hundred years ago, my ancestors broke this tradition and founded the Imperial Academy of Magic, which aims to break the traditional monopoly of magic, so that more people can become magicians and serve the country.
However, this magic academy is not accessible to anyone.
The annual enrollment quota of the Imperial Academy of Magic is extremely precious, and those wealthy nobles in the imperial capital naturally want a group of people to enter.
The military has also historically held some quotas.
As the official organization of magicians in the mainland, the Magician Guild naturally has to reserve some places, in addition to the royal family, there will also be a few special places, of course, my ancestors also left rules in the past, the Magician Academy must recruit some civilian students, this rule has been strictly enforced, and it has not changed. ” Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.
But then the Messiah's words disappointed him.
"However, those who enter the school must check their household registration, and in principle, only subjects of the empire are accepted.
But if you are a steppe alien race or a descendant of Nanyang, you can also apply, but you must have settled in my Roland Empire for the last three generations to be eligible for selection.
Messiah laughed, "In addition, it must be ascertained that the previous three generations of students have not committed serious crimes, and if there are serious crimes such as murder, treason, etc., they will never be allowed to enroll." ” Chen Daolin was speechless.
This first clause itself does not meet the requirements.
In this Roland Empire, he is a complete black household.
"If Mr.
Darling wants to go to the Academy of Magic, I'm afraid he won't."
Messiah smiled, "But if your Excellency is interested in magic, the way to become a magician is not only the path of the magic academy. ” "Oh" "The tradition of magicians has always been that the master and apprentice pick the apprentice and then teach it privately."
Messiah smiled faintly: "Although there is an academy of magic, this tradition is still deep-rooted, and many traditional magicians are reluctant to pass on their magical knowledge to outsiders, but prefer to choose their favorite disciples to teach them individually.
If you can be accepted as a disciple by a magician, you will also have the opportunity to become a magician, of course, provided that you have a talent for magic. ” "What is the talent," Chen Daolin hurriedly asked.
"Talent is naturally talent."
The Messiah shook his head: "The talent of a magician lies in his sensitivity to magic.
There are many magical elements in this world, between heaven and earth, in the air, and in nature, magicians use their own magic to mobilize various magical elements between heaven and earth.
The so-called talent is a test of whether a person's sensitivity to these magical elements in nature is strong enough and sensitive. ” Chen Daolin thought for a while: "How can you see this talent?"
In fact, he really wanted to ask: You see if I have any talent.
But after all, he has always been at odds with this Messiah, and he is not embarrassed to say such things.
How smart the Messiah was, she naturally saw what Chen Daolin meant, she smiled lightly, looked at the sky, and said: "It's not early, I've been bothering for so long, I'm afraid it will delay Your Excellency's rest, thank you Mr.

Darling for solving a lot of doubts for me tonight, if you have time tomorrow, come back to ask for advice." ” She got up to say goodbye, only walked two steps, but suddenly stopped, turned around, turned her palm, and a small crystal ball appeared in the palm of her hand, this crystal ball was about the size of an apple, she held it in the palm of her hand, handed it to Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "This thing is a crystal ball for testing sensibility, what I played with when I was a child, it is not worth much, Your Excellency seems to be interested in magic, so I will give it to Your Excellency." ” After a pause, she continued: "This thing is also convenient to use, you just need to press your palm on it, and then sit calmly for a while, if you have any illusions in front of you, such as seeing flames, or hearing the wind whistling, or seeing the murmuring of streams, these are all proof of talent, representing the magic of each department. ” The flame is the wind system, the wind sound is the wind system, the stream or something, probably the water system Chen Daolin thought to himself.
"Each magician's talent has a different emphasis, and generally speaking, a magician's talent is only specialized in one line."
The Messiah smiled and said, "During the test, the more wonderful and grand the illusion you see, the stronger the talent.
If Mr.
Darling tests his talent, I will know a few of the most prestigious magicians in the Empire, and I can recommend them on my behalf. ” I don't believe you have such a good heart.
Chen Daolin was vigilant.
The Messiah said no more and went back to his camp.
Chen Daolin sat there silently, holding the crystal ball in his hand.
Immediately, he took a deep breath, held the crystal ball in the palm of his hand, concentrated, and silently closed his eyes.
The palm only felt the cold touch of the crystal ball, which was cool and cold, but it also seemed to have a calming effect.
Chen Daolin's breathing gradually calmed down, and then his spirit became more and more relaxed.
If he opened his eyes at this moment, he would see the crystal ball in his palm suddenly spinning slowly.
Chen Daolin's consciousness began to blur a little, and then bang The crystal ball suddenly fell to the ground, and Chen Daolin jumped up suddenly.
His eyes widened and he looked around, the expression on his face was surprised and shocked, his breathing was rapid and short, and his chest rose and fell.
After a while, Chen Daolin gradually calmed down, but his eyes were full of shock Lao Tzu saw something just now On the road the next day, Chen Daolin was speechless all the way, and seemed extremely silent, Barossa saw that Chen Daolin was uneasy, and almost fell off the back of the deer several times, but fortunately, Barossa helped in time, and Chen Daolin did not break his neck.
At night, Chen Daolin was scratching his ears and cheeks, and from time to time he looked towards the camp of the Tulip family in the distance.
Finally, after dinner, when the black-clothed Messiah came over again, Chen Daolin's expression suddenly changed, and the anxious expressions on his face, such as disappointment, were all put away.
Instead, he made a cold look.
"Your Excellency Darling, I had something to gain last night" Messiah walked in front of him and looked at Chen Daolin with a smile.
Chen Daolin's tone pretended to be cold: "The test crystal ball of the talent you got is not broken, right?"
"Naturally not."
Messiah smiled, hesitated, pondered the wording, and said slowly: "If your excellency does not respond after the test, I am afraid that it is not that the crystal ball is broken, but that your Excellency really has nothing to do with magic." ” The corners of Chen Daolin's mouth twitched, his smile was a little stiff, and he raised his eyelids and looked at the Messiah: "Tell me again, what visions you see are symbols of talent."
"Well, someone has seen flames, and that's the talent of being good at fire.
There are also people who hear the howling wind in the sky, that is, they have a special sense of the wind system, and some people see rocks or small hills, which is the sense of earth spells, as for the water magic, I once had a friend, who is now a sixth-level mage, specializing in the water system, and when I tested it in the past, I saw the gurgling stream stretching endlessly. ” "I see."
Chen Daolin suddenly had an impulse in his heart and coughed.
His expression also became serious: "Well, the illusion I saw was a little strange." ” "Oh" Chen Daolin nodded "I saw the vast sea as far as the eye could see, a towering mountain on the sea, the peaks of the mountain plunged into the sky, the perennial flames were not extinguished, the volcanic magma erupted into the sky, the sea of fire burned the sky red, the surrounding wind howled, the hurricane rolled up the waves, the tsunami was 100,000 miles" Chen Daolin finished speaking in one breath and looked at the Messiah's forehead: "What does this mean?"
