Conquest

    Chapter 140—True Love

    The controversy in Imperial Capital about the Great Emperor of Lance this time has not had any impact on hillbilly.

    Two days later, hillbilly was busy with a lot of procedures for the squad, and the aristocrat parliament had sent someone to contact Shaar, so that he would report his background background, poor hillbilly is a lonely star, and his father is both I don't know who it is, but where can I report it?

    Finally summed up a bit, let Ruhr and other people to help make up a copy, even the patrilineal matrilineal ancestor eight generations of uncle and aunt Aunts have made up, and finally hillbilly get Ruhr and other people satanic the exhaustion of this thing, can not help but also stunned, looked at the Ruhr for a long time, only sighed: "Honestly, Chubby, I'm going to have to be careful with you later …You guy, if you really lie, don’t even look at your eyelids. This thing, Father himself saw, and almost took the above to take it seriously. ”

    Ruhr was almost angry and slammed in the past. He said: "This General is ignorant of the official duties, and I will give you these up late at night. Every thank you word, there is so much nonsense! You don't want to bring me back! ”

    Where is Shaar? He smiled and said: "Okay, let me accept you a favor."

    Then I sent someone to hand it over to the aristocrat parliament. The following thing is to test the work of screening. Ruhr said that the emperor had the heart to promote Shaar's hillbilly, and the aristocrat parliament would not block it. This is just a walk through the game.

    In the next day, Shaar went to General Adrick who had already arrived at Imperial Capital. At this time, the appointment of the General has been spread to Imperial Capital. Although Shaar does not understand what the "Vice-chancellor of Military Affairs" is, it seems that this scene must be "giant big". Level.

    When I met, General Adrick himself looked calm and seemed to have no joy of rising, but it was more serious in the look. When I saw Shaar, the knife-faced General encouraged Shaar and then said nothing. But Shaar feels instinctively, although General's attitude does not seem to change much, but some of the details of the behavior are weird.

    Adek, it seems that when he talked, he made several gods. Every time he was out of the game, although his time was short, he stared at Shaar staring involuntarily, his eyes were slightly weird.

    Shaar know that he was arrested by the military, if not general Adrick come forward to help, things are only afraid that there is no change in the present, he this hillbilly, grudging, others to his good, he is genuinely grateful, so when I see Adric, He had special respect for the general, who had the grace to carry with him, and had no usual giggle.

    After talking for a while, Adric suddenly said: "Kato and Sabar, they are all good guys who have followed me for many years…Well, I know, you have a good relationship with them, there is a Kevin…"

    Speaking of the bald man who died in battle, Adrick’s look also fell a bit, and then the hard-working General shook his head: “Don’t say this, when the soldiers fight, the battlefield is dead, it’s a common thing, you and me. Don't be too addicted to this emotion. Kato and Sabar, I don't want to stay in the 13th Cavalry Army anymore. These two boys, worried that Ruhr is not good with the 13th Army, ran to beg me and wanted to drop with me. ButI did not agree. ”

    ‘Ah –? Why?Shaar is a bit strange: "Are you not promoted?"

    In his opinion, General Adrick was excellent for his own servants, and he was promoted to the military. If he could still be with his Vice-chancellor of Military Affairs, it would be a big difference. And General is a person, and it will never be the kind of guy who doesn’t read the old feelings after the rise. But refused to follow the two old men…

    "Well, following me to the military department, the future may not be better. I want to come here, I am afraid that I have not stayed in the military camp so happy, so I took them to Imperial Capital and let them forget you. You are there, you are a brother who has been killed together from the blood. I believe that you will not be ill-treated with old friends. ”

    Seeing that General doesn't want to elaborate, Shaar simply doesn't ask. Anyway, Kato and Sabar are both their own brothers. In any case, they will always treat them well.

    Just that…General’s attitude has always made Shaar feel uneasy.

    Although General has always been majestic, he is not smirking – just this time, but how does it sound, it seems that it is in the tone of confession?

    After a moment of silence, Adrick looked at Shaar. The eyes were originally resolute, but at a certain moment, they showed a gentleness inadvertently. Only this revealing was instantaneous, and it turned into a severe day.

    "Mm."Tomorrow, I went to Senate to accept the process of appointment, Shaar, and you will go with me. Senate was set up at the beginning of the founding of the Empire. It is of great significance. You should also feel it. It will always help you in your future. ”

    Shaar didn't ask much, he immediately agreed, and he was very respectful to the General. Since General has to do what he wants, it must be good for himself.

    The next morning, Shaar went to Senate with General Adrick to accept the discussion. Adek returned to Imperial Capital this time with only a dozen people guarding him. According to tradition, when he went to Senate, he had to wear a white robe. There is no Chinese uniform and any uniform that can show the identity – this is the embodiment of the democratic spirit: everyone is equal.

    But Shaar knows, but there is a bit of disdain in his heart: everyone wears the same clothes, that is, equality is the same? However, it was a piece of fig leaf. Out of Senate, the high official, the people's mole cricket and ants, can you be the same?

    But it seems that Adrick is very respectful of Senate's attitude. Since General wants to do this, Shaar naturally does not say anything.

    However, when General Adrick took off his armored uniform and wore a white linen robes, the face that had been killed and decisively showed a sacred expression, which gave Shaar a hint of sorrow.

    The young hillbilly, at the moment, does not know what is called "belief", what is called "ideal". However, from General's body, he also instinctively, faintly felt a little different experience.

    Looks like Snooper is still trying to help Boolee spread mean messages and making it viral. Better watch what we send!These are the things that General’s heart values.

    The group of people wore white clothes that didn't separate each other. When they rode to Senate, they still had dozens of meters from the door. General took the lead and turned around and walked.

    Adek walked in front and looked back at Shaar, who was full of doubts. He said warmly: "The tradition before the millennium, before Senate, no matter the royal family, can't sprint to show respect for civil rights."

    Shaar is in the air, but just doing it – he doesn't know anything like civil rights. He only knows what General does to do and what he does!

    I came to the door of Senate and looked at the already mottled stone steps. I looked at the door full of rust. Although it was already temporarily decorated, the rust marks of many years were hard to hide. Even though it was deliberately made a bit solemn, it was still difficult. Cover the taste of the run-down.

    There was no one at the door, the door was wide open, and Shaar was puzzled, but he heard Adrik smiled: "This is a tradition. The person who is being discussed, regardless of the status of the right, enters this door, it is white! If the door is lined up, then there is a distinction between the nobles, which cannot be called equality. ”

    Shaar didn't think so, just nodded.

    He first came to Senate, a place that was famous in the history of the empire, but in Imperial Capital, it was not eye-catching, went in, went through a winding corridor, bricks on the ground and on the walls of the walls The stone has been broken, and there are still some gaps, stubbornly growing a few weeds.

    The innermost part is a circular place like a small theater. Adek tells Shaar that this is Senate's parliamentary hall. At the beginning of the empire's founding, it used to pass the most important document of the empire: the Empire Code. !

    Looking at General Adrick's face at the moment, it is a faint expression of excitement, and the eyebrows are like a pilgrimage. Shaar understands…General is not happy because he is about to be promoted here. It seems that he just doesn't know why, and highly value this Senate?

    In the circular small hall, surrounded by a stepped high platform, I looked at the environment enough to accommodate hundreds of people. It was only on the empty steps. At this moment, only a hundred people were sitting in the front row. Everyone was a white robe, and it seemed a bit deserted.

    In the middle of a round table, the top three are also the old men of white robe, naturally the three chief Senior Elders in Senate. Unlike the people in the hall, the three Senior Elders have a gold-shaped badge in the shape of an olive leaf in addition to a white robe.

    Adrian 叮嘱 Shaar sat down at the steps to sit down and listen, not to talk, and then strode onto the high platform.

    As soon as he got up, the white members who were sitting around gave a burst of exclamation.

    "Ah! This is the General? ”

    "How do you look soterifying? God, look at his knife and face! ”

    "Cut, what do you know, it is to be terrifying, in order to scare the enemy on the battlefield, you are the little white face of doing business in your church!"

    "What General is military affairs…Ah, what is the official name? That's right, Vice-chancellor of Military Affairs! I heard that it is a good and big official. Even the emperor will see you, and you will be polite. ”

    "You said, what will he say to us in a while? What is the meaning of this proposal? What are we going to ask him? ”

    "Don't talk nonsense, listen to what he said. Hey, I still have a job at home. The three old men said that they would give ten copper plates for a long time here, and I don’t know if it was true. ”

……

    The following whispers, oh, just like hundreds of flies screaming, Shaar listened, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in my heart. I couldn’t help but frown, my face was ugly, and I was stunned by a few people. Shaar looked fierce and dreaded and moved his ass to sit farther.

    On the stage, Adric also heard the noise below, but he did not listen to the real, the original warm eyes, slightly dim, just wrinkled, but when saw three senior Elder, together to carry out a square of thin slate, placed in the middle of the high platform on a single table, Adric eyes, Suddenly there was a thrill!

    The slate, I don't know how many years of history, the slate has been slightly black, but the above, the line of words is still clear.

    "The monarchy comes from the people"

    This thing, as if to ignite the enthusiasm of Adrick's heart, the following sly, he also forgot, went straight to the stand at the stand, and nodded to the three Senior Elder.

    "quiet! quiet! ! ! ”

    A Senior Elder screamed twice: "Now, please General Adrick accept the proposal!"

    I don't know if it was the majesty of Senior Elder, or the ten copper plates that promised it worked, and the people below quickly closed their mouths.

    Adrik looked blank and walked up, coughing a little, and then snorted. In the circular hall, General's words were clearly spread throughout the audience.

    "My name, you already know, I am here today, accepting the discussion, because all the power is from the people!" Today, I am standing here and accepting the opinions from the people. This is the spirit. ”

    Adek looked at the people below, next to the three Senior Elder, with a gratifying color.

    They are naturally happy, and this time, the review is actually the "Vice-chancellor of Military Affairs" such a prominent personnel appointment – this is also the case. The key is that Adrick’s political position was originally close to Senate. He is also an honorary member of Senate. Such a Lord who values ​​the spirit of civil rights is about to enter the core power circle of the empire. So in the future, if you can open a lot for Senate, then…

    Adek seems to be finally a little excited, his voice has become impassioned.

    "In the place where the Empire was founded, a great philosopher once said: No matter what the sacred, supreme, or humble, such as mole cricket and ants – all this is from the people! If the people are supportive, they will have the highest, if the people do not like it, then the supreme will eventually become humble…"

    Adric's speech here, first created with a Senate, the philosopher of the empire, and one of the earliest founders of Senate, quoted the famous saying in a book written by the ancestor.

    In these words, the three Senior Elders danced with great brilliance, and Adek himself said that he looked stunned.

    However, after he said a few minutes, the members of the following resolutions gradually revealed an impatient look. At this time, let alone the prestige of Senior Elder, even the effectiveness of the ten copper plates, as if Also reduced a lot…

    "You said, what is he talking about above?"

    "How would I know? What is mole cricket and ants? ”

    "Cut, mole cricket and ants are crawling, what is it?" Is it toad? ”

    "Yi, he said that people don't like it, then the supreme will become mole cricket and ants? What does that mean?

    "You ask me, how do I know? Father doesn't like the tax collector's face every day, and dreams are developed. But what if I don't like it? I don’t dare to provoke the tax official. ”

    "Do not be noisy! You still want to think about the ten copper plates. ”

    The following arguments gradually got higher. Adek on the stage seemed to have no reaction. He was still talking about it. It was just the brow, which was inadvertently wrinkled a few times. The original warm eyes could not help but reveal a trace of loss.

    Finally, his speech ended, a ten-minute speech, but the members of the following resolutions yawned again and again, and some people sat there, and some of them could not sit still – there is no such thing on the steps, they are hard-bones, sitting For a long time, the ass was a little uncomfortable, and I couldn’t help but move it. Others seem to get used to the faction at home, put their legs up on the steps, half lying there. There are more people who are whispering there, talking about topics such as short parents and price of meat.

    After Adrick’s words were finished, the deeper and deeper the look, the slower look back and a look at Senior Elder.

    "Mm." quiet! ! ”The Senior Elder also had some red faces and shouted aloud: "Below, please discuss!" Please accept Mr. Adrick's questions! ”

    challenge

    The following people suddenly came to the spirit. Before this discussion, the three elders have temporarily and urgently trained these "Members". This question is actually a process of accepting all kinds of questions and answering questions on the spot. Even if it is a difficult problem, and then sharp questions, the person being questioned must also answer. Even in the ancient traditions, in the years when Senate was the first to be seen, there were often some powerful people who could not satisfy the members in the process of discussion. The result was embarrassed.

    This kind of thing is quite interesting to everyone.

    This is a rare opportunity! Can you just succumb to this Lord's high thing on weekdays?

    Looking at this kind of Lord, this big official bad luck, watching this kind of person being embarrassed by these little characters – this is a good opportunity! No matter what, even if you watch a lively event, you can be proud of it in the future.

    Sure enough, when Senior Elder announced the inquiry, the following slamming, rushing, some noisy began.

    "This General, you are talking about why you have to add a war tax every year!"

    "That is, I live in Osgiliath, fight somewhere else, what does it have to do with me?"

    "There is always someone in my shop who is messing around. The patrols have mixed feelings with the gangsters. I have paid the public security tax but no one is in charge! ”

    Too dark Corrupt officials are filthy! ! ”

    "My nephew was beaten last year!! Those who are the security team! ! ”

    "How much is your big master in a year! Why are you exploiting such a small people? ”

    Nonsense This kind of aristocrat, not greedy for money is strange! ”

    “Ha! You see him blushing! It’s guilty, I can’t speak! ”

    Dismissed! Disapprove

    A screaming screamed, and immediately reminded the people next to him.

    Last night, when the three old men taught everyone the process, they did not say that, after the final discussion, they can choose to pass, or can they choose to reject it?

    Most of the processes that passed were not noticed.

    But dismissed…That is enough! When I saw this kind of Lord on weekdays, I had to bow my head. I had the opportunity to let this kind of people eat in our hands. It was a rare event! !

    Right! And that's it! Dismissed! Dismissed! It’s so fun to watch the rare luck of this Lord! !

    Dismissed! Disapprove

    Disapprove

    Disapprove

    The humming noise of the demolition hall, Adek above, did not even say a word. The so-called "questions" below, even every one of them has seriously asked a question about his promotion.

    Shaar was so angry that he would stand up several times, but Adric cast a harsh look and stopped Shaar's move.

    The young Shaar does not understand that General is such a good person, united as a good general of the country, killing the enemy against foreign invasion, and never doing anything wrong on weekdays, such a good person, why are these bastards doing this? !

    General, but also so polite to them? !

    Dismissed! Disapprove

    "Oh ?" Dismissed dismissed! ! "

    ‘Yes! Just don't let these aristocrats proud! ! Reject him! Reject him! ! ”

    "Ha ha ha ha! Disapprove

    The three elders above are red-faced and face-to-face. They naturally understand Adek’s personality and know that the high-ranking Senate of Adek is of great benefit to Senate.

    But

    Adek stood on the stage, his face was cold, his eyes were full of lost, he did not seem to care about the ridicule and scorn of the following – right, purely boring.

    But this General, his face is so…Heart, but what is it like?

    Anyway, at this moment, Shaar looked at it, looked at the place, and looked at the guys in white robes, his heart filled with anger and hostility!

    (General, what civil rights you said, democracy, I don't understand.)

    (But, is this what you said…Democracy? ! )

    At this moment, Shaar’s heart is full of things about what Senate is talking about.

    At the end of the quiet long street in the north of the city, passing through a courtyard of the building, in the innermost round study room, Carvesylver quietly leaned on a soft couch, with one leg tilted and the foot covered with snow white The socks, holding a book in my hand, looked as if I saw the wonderful place, and the feet of the white socks were gently shaken twice.

    Beside him, the girl with freckles on her face was standing up and whispering: "…This is probably the case, the teacher, General Adrick’s discussion at Senate today was actually dismissed…I just got the news, I think…"

    Pa!

    Carvesylver smiled and put down the book in his hand and looked at his female disciple. He said in his soft voice: "Okay, I already knew it."

    Then he reached out and the girl immediately passed, and the teacher sat down with respect.

    Carvesylver sat up straight and stretched out: "I have already guessed this result." HumDemocracy, a bunch of ligatures do not recognize, even those who are not full of food, where will understand these things. If the wisdom is not open, then there is no way to talk about democracy. Ridiculous!"

    He said faintly: "This reason, I understand, my Majesty also understands. However, this time, this time, deliberately making such a move, throwing Adrick’s appointment to Senate, the intention is obvious, that is, let Adrick see, now Senate, what is already unbearable? Look like! He wants to let Adrick die, to die in the Senate system, to be loyal to the future, to work for His Majesty – to make this happen, let Adrick see these things, and the hope in his heart. ”

    The girl sighed: "The deep meaning of his majesty, really out of the ordinary, the disciples did not think of this layer."

    Carvesylver looked at the female apprentice and smiled a little: "Unfortunately, the intention of His Majesty is in vain."

    "Oh?"The girl looked up and looked at the teacher inexplicably.

    "Adelke is a man, I know very well."Carvesylver shook his head and pointed at the teacup on the table. The girl hurriedly took it with both hands. Carvesylver took it, took a sip, and looked up at the girl: "I ask you, if you love someone, you can love someone. Suddenly, I became ugly and sick, and how are you?"

    The girl snorted, but the teacher asked, she replied respectfully: "That depends on whether it is true love or fake happiness. If it’s just a fake, I naturally change my mind and ignore the person. If it is true love…I will do my best and heal the evils of the people I love! Never give up because of the other party's evils! ”

    Carvesylver listened, and made a long sigh. After a long time, he whispered: "This is it."

    He glanced at the female apprentice: "Adelek, the "belief" in his own heart, is true love!"

    The girl listened, and her face was thoughtful. After a while, she sighed softly.

    Then she suddenly remembered something and said: "Teacher…There is one more thing, you let me pay attention to the dynamics of the kid, I heard today, General Adrick went to Senate and took the kid to go with him. Just when it came out, the kid leaps like a thunder and swears at Senate’s door…"

    "Oh?"

    Carvesylver heard this, and suddenly his eyes were bright and his face showed a happy smile.

    He stood up and walked over to the table, suddenly raising his hand and gently tapping the table.

    "Hahaha!" good ! very good! Adrick took him, mostly wanting this kid to believe the belief with him…However, this is self-defeating. good ! good ! That kid, I am afraid that I will never have a good feeling for Senate again. Speaking of it, this is good news. ”

    He looked at the female disciple and suddenly said: "Prepare carriage, I am going out."

    ‘Ah –? Teacher, this is all at lunch time, you…"

    "You do not understand!"Carvesylver faintly dropped a sentence, striding to the door of the study, the girl behind, and quickly followed up.
