Chapter 21 Courage (8000, Da Zhang asks for a monthly ticket~)(1/3)
Agata Kumoor Kerba.
The name of the royal family of the Kerba Empire consists of three parts: the matriarchal surname, the own name, and the paternal surname.
Agata means that the second prince's mother comes from the Agata family, and Kumore is his name, and he is a member of the Kerba royal family.
Before ascending to the throne, all the official names of princes were maternal surnames. If there were plural numbers, then subdivided.
As the largest industrial noble in the southern part of the empire, the Agata family arrived at its peak thirty years ago and married the royal family. Several people in the Agata family even held important military and political positions.
The war against the Elf Royal Court was also formulated by them. The purpose was to completely consolidate their rights in the south and support the princes of the Agata family to become the royal family of the empire - and the royal family with the highest violence and the dragon blood naturally did not mind using marriage to unite local nobles of this level.
Twenty years ago, at the end of the Elf War, due to the counterattack of the Elf before the defeat, a large number of cities and industrial clusters under the Agata family were razed to the ground, and the momentum suddenly declined. Although because there were still some coastal industrial areas, the Agata family did not completely fall out of the threshold of the great nobles, but the scenery was indeed no longer there.
It is precisely because of this that the second prince Kumore Kerba, who had a great call for succession, gradually moved away from the royal power competition center.
——Nothing is unwilling to give up, this is the price of choice.
Compared with the increasingly haggard mother and the much restrained relationship, the Agata maternal family, who had rarely been active in recent years, at that time, Kumore, who was still young, understood very early that rather than complaining about oneself, recalling past glory, or clearing away the stains and mistakes in one's own body, it is better to admit the failures of the past, lying on firewood and tasting gall to find opportunities to see if he can make a comeback.
And Comor's attitude towards the fact that he was gradually excluded from the position of prince was also very simple.
If you don't give it to me, I'll get it myself.
This is his thinking pattern.
Unlike the royal family who holds the blood of the dragon and doesn't care about the changes in the times, Kumore often goes deep into the people to examine the impact of magical industrialization on society, think about the feedback from public opinion, and try to learn about the most common ideas of different people in each region through investigation and statistics, and listen to their wishes.
——The blood and tears of small workshops squeezed by industrialization and lost their jobs; too many people were recruited by factories and began to be deserted northern farmland; the land annexed by the great nobles, and more landless farmers who had no land to plant; and there were also magic miners who were more difficult than slaves and needed to endure magical radiation...
"Sir, come to the public for investigation? I, I was farming in Shenshui City last year, but who knew that my land was attracted by the lord and said that I would build a chemical factory... Without the fields, I could only go to the city to find work, but the factories that require technology don't want me, and there are many factories that do not require technology. Everyone is rushing to lower their wages. Even if they go to work, they can't survive... Isn't there a question of whether there is a field planting? Didn't someone tinker with some iron machine a few days ago? I heard that that thing can replace plowing oxen, and one person can plow the fields of a village with a machine. If this thing is done, what's wrong with me..."
An ordinary farmer who entered the city complained to Kumore, who was hiding his identity. He received basic education, but he only recognized a few words and his name. The other party's complaints were so sincere that the prince at that time did not know what to say.
He went deep into the people, just to find the context of the times and hoped to hold it in his palm and make it the reins to rule the empire in his hands. But Kumore never thought that in his opinion, such a prosperous empire was so ugly at the grassroots level.
Standing high on the city wall, Cool looked down at the entire city gradually occupied by factories and magic dust, and the citizens swarming in densely, staring at the yellow and thin and numb dead silent expression on everyone's face. The second prince of the empire was finally moved.
——The average life expectancy is no more than 30 years old, and more than 80% of the population cannot be full. The educated people are a minority. The capacity improvement brought about by magic energy industrialization is focused on the army and is used to suppress the rioters in various places. The royal family spends enough monthly expenses to make all people in the provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the country...
Some information that the royal family could easily know suddenly jumped out of the paper and turned into scenes that touched the heart.
"God...is going to change."
But can it really become? The Kerba Empire has not encountered rebellion, but as long as the dragon blood takes action, it is enough to smooth out the city. The sun demon dragon light from the "Kurocherba" is enough to disperse all rebellious armies - it is really regrettable to discuss the potential of the people in the extraordinary world.
"So, if you really want to change something--it must start from the royal family, from me, from the highest level of the empire."
"Dragon Ball...only Dragon Ball!"
Until then, Cool finally understood why there were dragon balls in this world... That was the mercy of the ancestors to all the world! In this extraordinary world, in this world where everything was solidified, the weak could not resist the strong. Only the wish of the dragon ball could completely erase the remnants of the previous generation, all classes, and all advantages brought by birth.
Holding the Dragon Ball can become a strong man, and the winner and winner of the war can get the right to open the next era and a better era!
For this, everything can be sacrificed.
Even if you go on this path, you have to fight against the royal family, against all nobles, against your own birth and class.
The same is true.
As for the middle of the journey, hundreds of thousands of people died in the Dragon War, it was also a necessary sacrifice... You should know that in this era, there were more than one billion people who were not full, and millions were displaced every day, selling themselves as slaves. Compared with the suffering that was happening in this world, it was not unacceptable to just die hundreds of thousands of people.
I want to...change the world.
Blood splattered, and the silver blade was pulled out of the throne. Kumore's rage sound soon weakened, and toxins from Yemengard spreading in his body.
He wanted to call Leviathan to fight back, but for some reason, the thousands of heroic souls that formed Leviathan did not move when facing the other party, and even lowered their heads humbly and saluted the light.
"You said...you want to change the world with me..."
Cool struggled to look up at the expressionless Matvey, who struggled to say something, such as accusation, insult, indignation or angrily rebuke... but he didn't do that.
Before he died, he just lowered his head and looked at the earth burned into a glass by Vika's holy light. Next to it was the ashes of the priest. The man said in a very sad voice: "You... you didn't lie..."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. But I did not lie at the beginning."
After retracting the silver dagger in his hand, Matvey's voice softened: "You found me who was treating children in the countryside and said you wanted to change the world - you said that curing illness can save one person, but you can't save the world. You have a way to dissipate the suffering of the whole world. I hope I will help you."
"I am extremely grateful to you for guiding me on this path, but from the beginning, we had different ideas - you want to make the empire glorious again, to make everyone well-dressed, to become strong and unified. And you are the merciful and wise emperor who ruled everything."
"And what I want is to make all lives understand each other and move forward hand in hand no matter what they face - in the world I want, there are no emperors, no nobles, no classes, and all people are equal at the personality level, and thus eradicate all wars and all disputes."
"We swear to change this world, but your world is not mine."
“It’s so beautiful…”
The dragon did not obey his orders, and ** was also eroded by the poison of the giant snake. In addition, Matvi's strength was no less than that of him. Kumore finally understood that just like Vika was powerless to him, now he had no way to fight back against the priest in front of him.
They really knew each other too deeply. If Matve really wanted to betray from the beginning, he would have expected everything about him: "So... I never understood you..."
Matvey just sighed: "You know me very well...but, prince, you never understand this world."
"Whether it is the change of the times or the social changes caused by technological progress, all suffering comes from human beings'**... If the nobles were not so greedy and the royal family were not so drunk and dreaming... No, if there were no nobles and emperors, no superiors and inferiors, and everyone was one in one mind, then there would naturally be no suffering and no disputes.
——The decaying empire, the tool of rule.
——Greedy nobles, blood-sucking bed bugs.
——Antagonal races, the source of differentiation.
——Different minds, the essence of contradictions.
——Their personalities and the starting point of disputes.
The world is full of suffering, disputes, tears and despair. All are because of these elements. The ancestors differentiated the three dragons of heaven and earth and life, and life became thousands of races. Humans alone divided the royal family, nobles, civilians, and untouchables. Whether it is royal family, nobles, civilians or untouchables, they can continue to differentiate and divide into endless contradictions. Even a person's own thoughts are constantly differentiating, and thus make people's thinking change at all times.
Differentiation is the source of all sins. As long as everything is united, then the earth is a perfect paradise.”
"Your Highness, you just want to solve the chaos of an era, and I want to solve the source of suffering from the root.
Kumore didn't hear what Matvey said later.
The second prince knelt on the ground, staring at the ground with his eyes, and dark blood was dripping from his mouth, and his unwilling eyes have not been closed yet.
He is dead.
At this point, Evelyn, Mikhail, Fant, Kumore and Vika, the Dragon Ball War of seven, has five dead.
Only Mattve and Ora remain.
The dragon balls of "Yemongad", "Gorgon", "Favner", "Yinglong" and "Leviathan" are all in the hands of Matvey.
The dragon balls of the "Feathered Snake God" and the "Zhunday" are in the hands of the artificial human Aola.
“…Let’s go, Yinglong, continue our plan.”
Looking at the corpse in front of him, Matvey was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his hand, just like Evelyn, Coomor's corpse also dissipated in the rainbow light and turned into invisible, and his soul was also thrown into the priest's body.
"Don't you kill Zhuzhou?"
The Dragon of Heaven said so curiously that He did admire Su Zhou, his old family member, but because of his appreciation, he had to be careful and take more ruthlessly.
What's more, the other party is indeed a bit outrageous, and taking it seriously is also a kind of respect.
"No need, even if he returns to his full strength, he will never be able to defeat me."
One after another appeared around his body, and Matvey's body slowly floated towards the sky above Maia City. The huge phantom of the head-tail snake began to rotate behind him, like a gear that was running the world.
If there were priests from the Ancestor Dragon Church here, they would have to bow their heads in panic and offer great gifts when they saw this sign.
[23-At the beginning of creation, everything does not exist.]
[24-The Spirit of God hovered in the dark void and became a ring, and the world was born in the ring.]
[25-The gods sleep in the world and their souls are three parts, which are the gods of heaven, earth, and life.]
[26-Life is the father of all things, and God is the ancestor of all things.]
【27- and give this world to us.】
[28-Everyone with blood should remember this grace.]
[29-Praise, the dragon of the ancestor! Praise, the god of creation!]
[——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
For more than a decade, Matvey has been wondering why God tolerated such an ugly world full of hatred, hatred, death and despair.
But one day, he realized that God is not a human being, and the God of Creation does not need to be bound by human ideas.
God created the world, and His Spirit three parts turned into everything in the world, and in it, the struggle of all things is the result of part of God Himself.
Just like a stone falling down and water flowing to a low place, I don’t know if such common sense is also a struggle in a sense? And is human struggle another common sense?
Perhaps, only people will give these common sense meanings such as "happiness" and "despair" that only people can understand.
Therefore, if you really want to make all living beings live happily.
Then go to become God, engrave "happiness" in common sense, and make it a kind of instinct of life.
Then, create a whole new world.
Five dragon balls floated in front of you, and in the air, Matvey began to mobilize the power of these dragon balls, and then, with his own strength in the Kobor Mountains, he improved his strength for decades and began to activate them one by one.
A pure white color gradually appeared above his head, and a halo formed by a snake lingering, flashing with a light that attracted the soul.
