To Four Thousand Years Later

As if shocked by the future picture described by Arthur, Griffith's manor was silent for a while, only the sounds of animals rang out.

"When you say that, I understand.

Doyle frowned and said slowly: "I actually doubted it before, but I didn't go there...

"You suspected it too?

Arthur asked in surprise.

"Well. I suspect they may be doing smuggling business. Because they are too expensive."

It is not very popular to use steam boats even if there is a discount, but he is too generous.

"Indeed. According to you, they may have started drug trafficking a long time ago. It may not have been in the past year or so that they got in touch with the legal faction." Arthur nodded. She asserted: "So I think the legal faction will definitely make a move. They will not only hunt down the killer, but even create a large-scale public opinion campaign, and prevent the outflow of information that almost all members of the overseas faction are involved in drug trafficking.

"Because only with the help of the overseas faction, they can abolish the death penalty and no longer establish statutory laws; and only if the legal faction can successfully abolish the death penalty, can the drug business of the overseas faction flourish. Because they are the most solid from the very beginning. allies.

In other words, if the Overseas faction and the Legal faction are regarded as a group... then this means that the Sugar and Salt faction is not Frank's number one political party at all. This is just a strategy of the enemy. The scattered small forces and small circles of China ignore their strength and regard the current situation as a three-legged confrontation. In this case, in order to maintain the political balance and maintain this three-legged situation, everyone will take action to drag down the power of the sugar-salt faction. And progressively strengthen the political strength of the overseas faction and the legal faction. In order to prevent the sugar and salt pie from dominating.

Their real power should be the sum of all the influence held by the Overseas Faction and the Legal Affairs Faction—just like the abolition of death bill. On the surface, it seems that part of the overseas faction and the legal faction are working together to resist the sugar and salt faction and the local nobles, but in fact, the remaining overseas nobles who voted against may defect to the opposite side at any time, so as to maintain a "narrow victory" Case. "They will always keep a low profile like this. Until their layout is fully realized and the crime rate rises to the point where local nobles and officials lose their actual power, they will completely turn their backs and join forces Augustine said in a deep voice: "When we get there Time. Frank will only have one voice. But that would be a sinful sound... not only its citizens will suffer, but other countries will also suffer "That's why I say that the strangler is a murderous soldier named justice. He only needs to exist to be able Hang a sword over the heads of all officials and nobles to awaken their fear... His existence represents private law. Therefore, it is impossible for the legal faction to forgive him, and all nobles and officials must be hostile to him. They must launch military forces to kill He mobilized the power of public opinion to discredit him. As he spoke, Augustine J sighed: "We didn't know it. already at a disadvantage. Then we might as well wait and see.

But I think we'd rather protect the Strangler's reputation. There has never been a better opportunity. "Hearing this, Arthur finally couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart.

He remembered the conversation with Leonardo that day. He also remembered the anger he felt when he saw the document about "traces".

Not a pure businessman either, he wasn't even a nobleman. But he has climbed to this position, and he should maintain his own strength, his own way of action, and fight according to the rules of the nobles. The unspoken rules that the Ranke nobles tried their best to maintain. The reason is that if one day he loses, he will not suffer the same kind of suffering; and when he occupies a high position, he will not be murdered and plotted against. But Arthur was not reconciled. He didn't think it was right. The sins of those people are enough to cause them to die several times. The legal faction was with them, and the nobles of the overseas faction were in trouble. They shouldn't just live in peace and sit in their positions to point out the country. They should not be allowed to stigmatize the neck-rejecting killer. The demon Arthur said calmly, "Mikelot is indeed a sharp blade that can awaken fear. But I also think that if we have no shame in our hearts, Keep your feet on the ground, and that fear will overwhelm us forever—he will even wake up the nation, the nobles and officials who have not completely lost their conscience "I think this is an opportunity, my lord Augustus J. No matter how you feed the wolf, its heart is always toward the woods. Now, the aristocrats of the Overseas Faction are dying due to external force, relying solely on the strength of the Ministry of Justice to beat Xiao Xun and us, if we take a step back and digest the political power of the Overseas Faction together with them, we will return to the point where the two parties are fighting , is of course simple and flat. Arthur said seriously: "I think you should have greater ambitions. After hearing this, Gustin was silent for a long time. Then, he finally stared at Ruo Ruo, who was a little fat and always had a ridiculous face, A man with a kind expression like the grandfather next door. He looked at Arthur carefully as if he was meeting Arthur for the first time.

After a long time, he patted Arthur's shoulder slowly and firmly. It's like clapping for his words.

"well said

He admired: "Arthur, well said. With these words, you are enough to leave a name in history.

Little Augustine lifted his head proudly and glanced around at his friends. Considering his noble status, the number is not much at all. It can even be said to be very rare. But each of them is trustworthy. Although they each have their own shortcomings, not everyone has a heart of justice, patriotism, and love for others.

"Then I'll get it straight," said the heir to the Augustinian family slowly, "this drug is called Trace, and it's very powerful. It has the potential to create mind control... yes, I mean mind in the true sense control drugs.

"It can completely control a person, turning people into soldiers who fear no death, or turning people into obedient and loyal animals. No one will refuse its charm. Since this technology has been developed by people, they will never let it go , There will always be someone who will invest in this project. That is to say, "If we want to stop this, our enemy is not the overseas faction, and it is not just the legal affairs... but this country. It's all the people in power in this country, maybe even everyone—every rich man, nobleman, bureaucrat wants it. And our allies are those civilians.

"They are weak, stupid, timid, uneducated, short-sighted, and don't even realize the seriousness of the problem, and they may turn around and bite us at critical moments!" He said, looking down at the surrounding circle. Just like his ancestors—like Tiberius' adoptive father, the head of state who had the name of Augustus before Jesus. His gaze was calm and deep, like a bottomless dark green lake. But his voice has a kind of shocking power.

That didn't come from spiritual influence, but from his self-confidence, integrity and upbringing.

"My companions, my beloved friends. I will not allow such power to take place. We have just been freed from the **** of kings, we have only just been freed—I think that if individuals need not obey anyone. Only Obey the law, then, he is free.

"We have been free, and we shall continue to be free. I will not allow anything worse than the King to steal the fruits of our fathers' struggle, to continue to enslave the people, and to turn the living into livestock. He did nothing The inspiring speech was just a plain statement: "So next I will go out for the country and fight against the country. This is my mission... You are not the Augustine family "I will continue to walk with you." The first person who answered without hesitation was Griffith, a pregnant friend who grew up with him.

"We will walk with you.

Immediately afterwards, Arthur and Doyle bowed their heads together and answered.

Don't make it so tragic, we don't necessarily die.

Augustine nodded calmly as expected: "Let me tell you about my other identity.

"I am a psychic from the Guild of the Holy Firstborn... Seven Sages of this generation.

"My friends, we are not without backup. We have the power of half the world - as long as we fight for what is right and what is right.

"And that's the moment, the moment."
