"By the way, the royal families of those desert kingdoms are actually so prestigious. Don't you have any ideas?"
Before Lu Pingan came to work, after learning about his mission, he chatted with several members of the royal family.
Immediately, the three royal families were silent. After a long time, Princess Yaqian said something as a representative.
"When the country is still there, no matter how much suffering it encounters, as long as the institutional framework of the country is still there and the surviving residents can survive, the king is still the king and the nobles are still nobles, and now."
When she said this, Yaqian's face was filled with bitterness. There were some things that were out of their control from the beginning.
".A king who destroys a country who fails to fulfill his duty to protect his subjects will only become the target of hatred from the suffering people. Probably, many people will want to kill us."
At this moment, Lu Ping'an suddenly understood. He understood why these three royal family members were so complete in this world.
Even when the desert kingdom came to an end, it still maintained basic dignity, the system did not collapse, the king was always the king, and His Highness the Prince demonstrated the abilities that a leader should have.
However, the Theocracy collapsed extremely completely, and those in the Holy City tried their best to cover up the peace, and dismissed the "doomsday theory" as rumors and some existing conspiracy. This was undoubtedly a kind of deception.
Perhaps its reason is good, to maintain the social order before the end of the world, but in fact, it has deceived most people in the Holy City, or in other words, people in the Theocracy.
Some people come to an end in the apocalypse, but there are always some people who survive for various reasons. So, how do they view this kind of deception from above?
"They wish they could eat my flesh, drink my blood, and gnaw my bones."
Yaqian said this with her eyes closed, her face as pale as a dead person.
This is not a personal conjecture. She actually sent people to secretly contact the remnants of the Theocracy, and also learned about some survivors' views on the royal family and past high-level officials.
"It's all our fault. In their eyes, it was our betrayal and deception that led to the end of the world and caused them to lose their families and everything."
Is this taking the blame? Is this venting anger? Yes, not entirely. Resentment is justified, and some people did not behave as human beings in this series of events.
Innocent victims, victims licking their wounds in a foreign land, always find a target to vent their emotions and hatred, which further aggravates this emotion.
Even if the people who can make these decisions have nothing to do with the three "young masters" and "eldest lady", even if most people in the Holy City know that the royal family no longer has the greatest power at that time, as long as the royal family members appear in front of the bereaved family,
, let alone appeal and prestige, being used as a sacrifice is the most likely result.
"In the eyes of the refugees who finally managed to escape, the biggest sin is that we are still alive."
At this moment, Lu Ping'an also felt subtle.
He somewhat understood why among the millions of survivors in the desert kingdom, there must be a lot of tricks, while most of the royal family members were lost, and there were only a few of this generation alive. Other higher-ups with lower status could play tricks, but countless
The members of the royal family who are staring at each other have the responsibility of bearing "sacrifice".
They must be fair, fairer, fair to the point of demanding, fair to the point of self-harm.
"You are really amazing"
At this moment, looking at the six-fingered prince talking eloquently, Lu Pingan was a little impressed.
I lost my home and everything, but I quickly regained my composure, lowered my expectations, and started to welcome a new life.
".Is this the trading place?"
Lu Pingan was a member of the special service team, so it was not difficult to help the prince get a ticket. During the conversation, Lu Pingan also knew that the "trading place" did play some role in their choice of the ancient city.
"We have some things on hand, but relatively safe and stable transactions have become the resources we need most now. A place with rules where 'trade' is the rule should be very helpful to us."
The prince didn't hide anything, he told his party's plan very straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Lu Ping An had no reason to refuse. Just having that batch of goods leave his trading place could greatly promote the prosperity and market liquidity of the trading place.
The prince walked and stopped, exclaiming in surprise from time to time, which also gave his companions a sense of accomplishment.
During the conversation, Lu Pingan also determined the most essential difference between them and the three unlucky royal families in his courtyard.
"Oh, your gods, are they still looking after you?"
"Yes, the great King of Yellow Sand takes care of our wealth and life, and the wise Lord of the Lantern lights our way forward."
Well, this sentence actually reveals two powerful gods. The first King of Yellow Sand should have the priesthood of "trade", "wealth, and life", and since the Lord of the Lantern has the prefix of wisdom, then
, most of them are scholar-type gods, and they may have the priesthood of "knowledge", "time", and "prophecy".
This is both an introduction and a sword show.
"Behind us, there are two true gods."
This may be the essential difference between the two royal families. In that world, there were gods above the royal family, but most of the time it was the human king who took responsibility and took the blame. But now, when the gods still take care of this ethnic group
, it did not disintegrate on its own.
With the endorsement of gods, rule-level experts also need to obey the gods' agents - the human king.
So, with the backing of force and religion, the hierarchical systems have not collapsed yet, so it is no wonder that they have not become scattered sand.
They are still a kingdom under divine authority.
"If this investment is successful, the two supreme beings will be very happy." This seems to be what he said.
"Haha, I wonder if these two gods have registered as true gods?"
Lu Ping'an's words made the six-fingered prince unable to hold back his smile.
This is the human world. You are a dragon. Lying down, you are a tiger. Lying down, you are a god? Go over there and wait for approval. The quota is tight recently. Maybe you will be able to get a "business license" in a few decades.
Proven”.
A god who does not have the qualifications of a "righteous god" does not have the right to open churches in various places, and cannot widely spread his own beliefs and methods. He will always be an underground belief that cannot be brought to the forefront, and he will still be just an evil god!
As for the Evil God and the Evil God's Church, Lu Ping'an's special service team has the power to ban them.
When Lu Ping'an said something, the scene became a little stiff, but he smiled and had no intention of taking back his words.
Isn't this just negotiation? You have your gameplay and bargaining chips, and I have mine. I know you know you have a rare bargain, but you also need to know whose territory this is.
Are you a powerful god? Nothing is missing from the earth, but all kinds of messy wild gods.
As an escort, Lu Pingan was a little over the top, but as a negotiator, this level of "slap in the face" seemed to be just right.
It's just that the atmosphere was a little ugly. The next moment, His Highness the Prince laughed again.
"The two of you are still busy, but to be honest, the possibility of getting permission in the short term is not high. But I am still a devout believer personally, so let's just talk about these things in private. After all, they are always watching us.
.”
Smiling, the six-fingered prince raised his head, pointed to the sky, and made a joke, but it was also reality.
As an important chess piece, the royal family is naturally being watched.
Lu Ping'an also smiled and let the matter go. He didn't really care whether it was a negotiation or not, but if he was led by the other party's nose along the way, the final result of the negotiation would be the other party's decision.
"By the way, I just found out that you are actually the developer of the sacred object 'Light Fire Grass'. Can you sell us some of it? Although we have a problem with the shopping permit now, I can privately offer ten times the price."
At this moment, the six-fingered prince was first shocked when his attendant whispered to him, and then he showed obvious respect and attention to the young man in front of him.
I originally thought he was just a young warrior, but I didn't expect him to be a researcher or a super scholar who made incredible miraculous creations.
"Perhaps we can talk about cooperation, not with your ancient city officials, but with you personally."
